After the army entered the city, it can be said that the hippopotamus who fell near the city gate was the first to be found.

"Dead?"

Hu Xie frowned.

Rayong, who came up later, soon noticed that something was wrong.

"No, this hippopotamus has several more fatal wounds on his body, and those wounds are obviously not caused by your blade claws, but should be a spear or other weapon."

Said so by Rayong.

Tiger Xie apparently also noticed the wound on the hippopotamus.

A sneer followed.

He probably knew what was going on.

In the orc world, hippos are not only powerful and threatening, but also notoriously irascible.

And the gnolls in the city are notoriously vindictive......

In this case, a badly injured hippopotamus faces a group of vengeful gnolls.

You can imagine what happened in the city at that time.

However, Tiger Xie apparently does not have any sympathy for him.

After entering the city, Du Yuanzhi motioned to the elven priests to treat the wounds of the wounded.

He also asked Guo Zhen to take a few teams of Terran soldiers to collect those Terran slaves in the city.

And at the same time, the other end.

After exiting the city through the other gate.

The orc army fled quickly to the west.

Behind him, the great threat of the Western Expeditionary Army was there.

So that they don't dare to stay at all.

for fear that the other party will chase after him.

So they all tried their best to escape there.

This efficiency is maintained.

Soon, the remnants of the orc army fled completely.

Look back.

Looking at the orc city that was only the size of a palm in the field of vision.

One of the gnoll men breathed a sigh of relief.

After running so far, it's impossible for the other party to catch up with them in a short time, right?

I think it's safe.

Just when they were thinking so.

Behind the mound bunkers on both sides, a rain of arrows suddenly flew out.

The sudden attack completely caught them off guard.

When they come to their senses.

The rain of arrows had already fallen.

There is no way to avoid it.

The screams of horror turned into terrible screams in an instant.

A rain of arrows directly caused another wave of definite casualties to the remaining orcs.

However, the four hundred fox guerrillas who were waiting to ambush them were obviously not going to stop their offensive just like that.

At this moment, the foxman guerrillas scattered behind the mounds on both sides can be said to have gathered enough strength to fire wildly.

In a panic, the remaining gnolls and wild boars began to scatter and flee.

The fox guerrillas did not choose to pursue.

Instead, they continued to rely on the terrain of the mound to shoot the orcs who were still within their range.

This situation is undoubtedly a good thing for the group of orcs who managed to escape from the range of the bow and arrow.

They didn't mean to turn around and save their compatriots.

In their opinion, their own life is the most important thing.

It's a matter of genius to get away with it.

Unexpectedly, it was at this moment.

A figure passed by quickly.

Then, accompanied by a staggered burst of sword light.

A gnoll's head was thrown into the air.

I saw that at this moment, a team of swift wolf warriors armed with double knives blocked the way!

Between the swings of the two knives in his hands.

With the swift and swift play unique to the swift wolf warrior.

Quickly intercepted and killed the orcs who tried to escape.

It was a premeditated ambush.

Du Yuanzhi, who has the map of the orc forces in the west, has been determined from the beginning.

If these orcs were to escape, they would definitely flee in this direction.

So he before he officially launched a frontal attack.

He ordered 400 fox guerrillas and 300 swift wolf warriors to move here in advance.

Intercept or kill any orc units that may appear.

At the same time, there is also a detail that he did not set the ambush near the city gates.

Instead, it deliberately distanced itself by some means.

It's just to let the group of orcs who fled for their lives run more.

It's best to run straight to exhaustion.

That way, by the time they find themselves in a trap.

Then I can't run away if I want to.

There is no doubt that Du Yuanzhi's wave of advance arrangement was successful.

In the face of this wave of ambushes.

The orc troops, whose physical strength had already been exhausted, were powerless to resist.

The orcs who fled here were killed in a short period of time by the Swift Wolf Warriors and the Fox Guerrillas!

Later, after confirming that there were no more living mouths.

The men and horses of the two armies quickly gathered the corpses together.

Then pour oil on it and burn it off in a handful of fire.

Stand on the top of the wall of the orc town.

Look at the smoke rising in the distance.

The corners of Du Yuanzhi's mouth curled slightly.

He knew that the wave of ambush he had arranged in advance was a success.

"Staff Officer Du, the number of Terrans in the city has been counted, and there are three thousand three hundred and seventy-two people in total."

Guo Zhen frowned and walked over to say.

As a small city, the number of Terran slaves in this city was even more than he expected.

Although they also brought enough food with them on this expedition.

But the fact that there are more than 3,000 mouths at once is not something they can afford.

Du Yuanzhi obviously knew that Guo Zhen was worried about something.

Just listen to his unhurried speech.

"Calculate the time, the next batch of grain transportation teams should already be on the way, and when the time comes, let the grain transportation team bring these more than 3,000 people back to the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds."

Speaking of this, Du Yuanzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"But before that, we have to write a flying pigeon biography to report the situation here to Your Majesty."

The news of the first victory of the Western Expeditionary Army and the capture of an orc city was soon delivered to Luo Ji.

Although this was just an expected victory, Luo Ji, who learned this information, was still in a pretty good mood.

Not to mention the results of capturing an orc city and destroying the orc army stationed there, and increasing his various special points.

Of course, it's just a pitiful five or six o'clock.

But it's better than nothing!

At the same time, more importantly, this battle report also contains a lot of information about the power of the orcs in the west.

Let's say wild boar people and hippopotamus people.

This fully shows that the orc forces in the west are not a single orc tribe.

As for whether they joined forces to form an alliance.

Or if it was swallowed up by that powerful orc tribe one by one, it is not known.

Just when Luo Ji was thinking about it.

As the leader of the dark department of the Spiegel Division, Zhang Tang entered the palace to meet him.

"Weichen Zhang Tang, see Your Majesty!"

In this regard, Luo Ji asked directly straight to the point while signaling Zhang Tang to be exempt......

"Zhang Tang, your visit this time, is there a result of the things that you explained to you before?"

"Back to Your Majesty, all the information from the mouths of those gnoll captives is here."

As he spoke, Zhang Tang respectfully presented a report.

On this side, it can be regarded as a bit of a surprise, those few jackal captives escorted all the way back, and the efficiency is really not high.

This back and forth has led to the interrogation only now being completed.

But no matter what, the things that should be asked, still asked.

The update is sent, thank you for the book friend 'Genius 丿雪maple,' and 'Unexpected' commuter passes!
