Chapter Thirty-Nine: Storming the Town
The tribal soldiers on the battlefield were quickly repulsed, and the number of casualties increased dramatically.
Mass casualties, the leaders of the Orcs and Trolls did not come out to stabilize the situation, and the tribal soldiers began to flee on a large scale.
The first to flee were not the orcs whose leader was wounded, nor the trolls, but the goblins, who realized that the battle was not right and fled with their beloved weapons of war.
The second to flee was the Trolls, due to their too many casualties.
After the goblin clan and the troll clan fled, the orc clan couldn't sit still, and they also began to flee on a large scale, as for the hot-tempered dwarf clan, they were also fleeing, and the other three clans all fled, and they also hit a hammer.
"Kill them all, hahaha."
The soldiers of the empire formed a battle formation and surrounded and killed the tribal army who had no time to flee from the war, and the battle situation that was still scorching before was now a one-sided slaughter.
Su Xiao mixed in the crowd, from time to time to kill a tribal army, he was surprised to find that after killing the enemy, the natural ability 'Soul Eater' recovered health value is very special, every time he kills an enemy soldier, he can probably recover 13~15 points of health and mana, can restore this amount of health, because the increase in mana value of the Soul Eater has reached the upper limit of 200 points, and the recovery effect of killing enemies has increased by 50%.
The health recovered through the Soul Eater can slowly heal Su Xiao's injuries, although this treatment is slow, but it is more complete than the recovery of the potion.
When Su Xiao killed more than a dozen enemy soldiers, the tightness in his chest disappeared, and his breathing was obviously much easier.
Finding this, Su Xiao killed even harder, and killed dozens of tribal soldiers in a short time.
The current battlefield is not the same as before, and it takes luck to kill the tribal army, the tribal army is fleeing on a large scale, and the imperial army is pursuing.
The screams and the sound of killing mingled, and a contractor of Apocalypse Paradise had a desperate face, there were too many Imperial troops beside him.
After only a few minutes, the Contractor of the Apocalypse Paradise ran out of mana, and he was engulfed by the crowd, and if the Imperial side was defeated, the Contractor of the Reincarnation Paradise would not be much better.
The pursuit began, with the Imperial army leaving small forces to defend the fortress while the rest of the soldiers pursued the tribal army.
Su Xiao is in the pursuit team, as long as the pursuit battle does not end, the war will not end, as for the exchange of [Holy Oak Branch], there is no need to think about it for the time being, as soon as the war began, the Reincarnation Paradise prompted that the merit exchange store was closed, and it was conditional to open it again, that is, the Imperial Army successfully stationed the Black Soil Fortress.
During the previous battle, Su Xiao had observed the situation of the black soil fortress, the inside of the fortress was seriously damaged, and the stone slopes and magma slopes in front and behind needed to be cleaned up, and the blocked passages on the inside of the fortress had to be opened, and the inner passages could allow the imperial army to enter the fortress easily, so after the tribal army captured the fortress, dozens of inner passages were sealed.
Before all this is dealt with, the Imperial Army cannot be stationed in the Black Earth Fortress, and it will take at least 1~2 days to deal with all this.
In other words, it will take at least 1~2 days before the meritorious store opens, so Su Xiao is not in a hurry, and it is useless to be in a hurry.
……
Three hours later.
An Imperial army marched into the territory of the Horde Alliance, the same army that had previously fought on the Black Earth Fortress.
It sounds like a three-hour chase has been a lot of deep into the tribe's territory, but it is not, this army is not going deep into the tribe's territory, but the tribesmen who have fled into small groups around the black soil fortress.
An Imperial officer rode a warhorse at the front of the army, his name was Russell, and he had always been a supporter of Carlos, a powerful faction in the Iron Legion.
After Carlos took the throne, Russell, who was not weak and had great command talents, was promoted several levels in a row, but it was because of his bad background, so he was not reused, fortunately, the new corps commander Carlos didn't care about his background, he only looked at his ability.
"Report to Commander Russell, a town under the Confederacy has been spotted ahead."
A scout knelt on one knee in front of Russell's warhorse, looking respectful.
"Population."
Russell doesn't talk much, and he doesn't smile, he is iron-blooded, serious, thin, and air-conditioned, which is the first impression he makes.
"There are about 20,000 to 40,000 people, and because of the urgency of time, my subordinates can't get too specific information."
The scout swallowed.
"Come, put him to death."
Russell's tone was flat, and the scout was sluggish.
"Lord Russell spares his life, his subordinates are really ......"
The scout's face turned pale with fright.
"Shut up."
As soon as Russell's words fell, a male Wood Elf rushed out behind him, this male Wood Elf was extremely fast, and before the scout could react, the short sword in his hand had been cut off, and a human head flew up.
"Marquis Mark's old thing is really rubbish, the spies of the tribe have infiltrated the scout force, and every time Lord Carlos wants to deal with the problem of spies, that old thing looks ahead and backwards."
Russell didn't even look at the scout's body, as a member of the scout force guarding the Black Earth Fortress, he didn't even know the situation in the town near the Black Earth Fortress, this is the basic quality of a scout, even if he is not a spy, he will lose his head if there is such a dereliction of duty during the war.
The Imperial Army began to march towards the town, Su Xiao was mixed in the Imperial Army, and it didn't take long for a small town to appear in his sight.
Sou~
A ball smashed into a parabola towards the Imperial Army, a goblin bomb.
Rumble!
The flames were scattered, a large area of the imperial army was shattered, and a short leg wrapped in rags flew near Su Xiao.
"Charge the whole army."
The Imperial Army rushed towards the tribal town, and the remnants of the tribal army near the town immediately retreated into the town.
The Imperial army was not far from the town, and within a few minutes, a large number of Imperial troops rushed into the town and began to fight in the streets of the remnants of the tribal army in the town.
Screams came from within the town, civilians living in the town, including orcs, goblins, etc., mostly women, and in the tribal alliance, teenagers and adult males were forcibly recruited into the army.
By the time Su Xiao entered the town with the large army, the battle had subsided, and it had been a small tribal army that had previously attacked the Imperial army.
Su Xiao walked in the town, there were no civilians on the streets, civilians were hiding behind the windows, looking at the imperial army on the street with a numb expression, most of the houses in this town were made of stones, mostly two-story structures, the houses were very dense, because it had just rained, the streets were very muddy.
The Imperial Army began to search the town, occasionally engaging scattered tribal armies.
It was not wise to continue to march deeper into the tribal territory, so Su Xiao's Imperial Army stopped in the town to repair, and then returned to the Black Earth Fortress.
After clearing the town of the tribal soldiers, the Imperial soldiers gradually dispersed, and their demeanor was significantly more relaxed.
Su Xiao sat on the stone steps in front of a private house, eating compressed biscuits to replenish his strength, compressed dry food was not unpalatable, but the taste was very dry.
