Chapter 1742, Escape
After lunch, the army set off.
Due to the time constraint at the moment, Deck stayed on the road for some things, and confirmed with his own soldiers as he walked.
At this moment, he was checking the casualties of his Dark Elf army.
Those numbers made Deck's heart heavy, and after confirming it, he seemed to remember something, and he asked again......
"What about the human side? What about the casualties on the human side? ”
By 'human side', Decker refers to the remnants of the Europa army.
As they retreated, many Europa garrisons stationed in various cities and fortresses also gathered.
Before, as a dark elf, Decker basically didn't care about the human troops.
However, the battle has reached this point, and the dark elf army under his command has suffered a great loss of combat power due to attrition, but on the other hand, on the side of the human army, the entire combat power has been maintained quite stable.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the last few battles, in the case of the plummeting combat power of the dark elf army, he has begun to rely on human troops to fight output, especially long-range firepower, and now human troops directly occupy a pivotal position.
In this way, in the face of the human troops that had already risen to an important combat power, he naturally had to care about it.
And just as Deck was confirming these situations one by one, in the sky, a harpy quickly flew towards this direction.
"Report to the general, the trace of the foreign united army has been found in the rear!"
Hearing this, Decker had a look of obvious surprise on his face.
"What location?"
"They just arrived at the site where we camped last night."
Before leaving the camping site, Deck deliberately left a few harpies to keep an eye on, just in case it was just in case, just to see when the combined alien army would catch up.
Considering the time taken by the harpy, the foreign united army should have already left that area by now.
When they left, it was noon, and now, the sun had sunk in the west, and the time was close to evening, so I estimated the distance a little in my heart, and it should be relatively safe, but I must not relax my carelessness.
"General, are you going to attack?"
There is no doubt that if the Harpy forces were to attack from the air, it would more or less buy them a certain amount of time.
However, rash action may also be counterproductive.
As thoughts flickered, Deck quickly spoke to the harpy......
"I will send a Harpy army to go back with you, and if the combined army of foreign countries has discovered your whereabouts, then attack directly, if not, then quietly follow them and monitor them."
"Yes!"
Decker arranged it like this, naturally because of his considerations.
In the case that the other party did not discover the Harpy troops, if the Harpy attacked, wouldn't that be the same as telling the other party that the distance between the two of them was not far?
When the time comes, once the foreign coalition army catches up with them, their situation will not be good.
He would never do anything like this to block himself.
After the harpy flew away, Deck's gaze quickly fell on his own soldiers.
"Pass the order, speed up the march, and at the same time don't camp tonight, march overnight, and strive to distance yourself from the foreign combined army in the rear!"
"Yes!"
As the disadvantaged side, they are undoubtedly embarrassed at the moment.
But as a veteran of the battlefield for many years, Derk has not completely lost his cool.
At the same time, at this time, Decker also has to admit another advantage of the human army, that is, the marching efficiency of the army!
Even among the civilizations, the marching efficiency of human civilization is the highest in the ranks, and their marching efficiency is thanks to various transport vehicles!
For example, troop transporters and motorcycles, etc.
At this moment, the combined forces of foreign nations are hunting them down with these technological vehicles.
In the case of sufficient fuel, the impact of physical problems on their marching efficiency can be said to be minimized at once.
Although the Dark Elf army also got a batch of human vehicles when they captured the city before, they were limited in number.
And now these vehicles are also used to transport heavy ordnance such as cannons, marauder ballistas, and basically incapacitated dark elf mage troops.
In other words, many soldiers still have to rely on two legs.
As we all know, the marching efficiency of an army is not based on the unit that moves the fastest, but on the unit that moves the slowest.
In this way, they march slowly, and there is no way to do it.
The night passed, from the defeat a few days ago to now, the Dark Elf army and the Europa soldiers, who had only slept for one night, after another wave of overnight marches, had finally recovered some of their energy, and at this moment they all had a feeling of being beaten back to their original shape.
Fighting against the wave after wave of rising exhaustion, looking at the bright sky in front of him, the distant sky, already glowing with a touch of fish belly white, Deck struggled to open a pair of bloodshot eyes, signaling the army to stop and eat, take a break, and then continue to march.
After all, they are in a situation where they can't afford to stay in one place for too long.
Once they are caught up by the foreign coalition army, then according to their current situation, it is really doomed.
They don't even need to fight, just by the appearance of the foreign coalition army, their morale will collapse directly, and the situation is already so bad.
After a short break, it was another long day and night for the Dark Elves and the Europa soldiers, stopping to rest a few times on the way, but each time it was no more than two hours.
Seriously, the fatigue and stress accumulated during this time are about to crush them.
Until the Harpy flew again......
After all, the Alien Coalition Army is not an iron fight, and like the Dark Elf Army, they only fought a tough battle a few days ago.
Now he led the troops to chase and kill, and after a fierce chase, he failed to catch up with the army of dark elves.
Only when the other party is running away.
After that, he gradually slowed down the pace of the march so that the soldiers under his command could adjust their state.
This gives the army of dark elves who march day and night a chance to distance.
After confirming the information from the harpy, Derk could be said to have breathed a sigh of relief.
Let the Harpys continue to take turns watching, and at least tonight, they will be able to get a good night's sleep.
