Chapter 167: News of the Withdrawal

Dane's plan to run away was very urgent and fast, and he would never dare to delay. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The integrated Komyrya and the Pure Sword add up to almost a thousand people. Now, these 1,000 people are hurrying towards the west. In front of them, General Morno must have received news about the orc army and must have been preparing.

Now the entire Crusade Army must come together! More than 4,000 orcs are in a hurry to chase after them, and it is impossible to compete with an enemy of this size if they do not quickly join up with the main force of Morno and gather all the Crusade forces together.

In the previous battle, the reinforcements led by Dane had almost no losses, and after their main melee force joined the battle, the orc army did not hold out for long and quickly collapsed.

But the loss of pure sword is not small. There were more than 300 pure swordsmen, and by the end of the battle, the total number of dead and wounded was almost sixty or seventy, and only two hundred and fifty swordsmen remained. The cannon fodder army of more than 200 people did not suffer many casualties, but there were many defeated soldiers or even deserters who could not be recovered, and the number was almost nearly 100. A pure sword mercenary group, which was originally good, fell into the vanguard of the enemy after falling into blood mold, and after a fierce battle, there were less than 400 people left of more than 500 people.

Delina's face had always been bad, and even though she had a veil over her face, Dane could tell it in her eyes.

"Alas......" Dane didn't know how to comfort him. Those idle mercenaries would not be taken too seriously by Delina, but the casualties of sixty or seventy pure swordsmen were difficult for women to accept.

After all, the family background of the Pure Sword Mercenary Group is only a little bit in total.

Delina said angrily, "Where did these orcs come from?" Damn it, there was no warning at all! ”

Dane asked curiously, "Didn't the Falcon Knight deliver any news to you in advance?" ”

"Nope!" Hearing Dane mention this, Alexandrina became even more annoyed: "Those few falcon knights who were supposed to follow me, I don't know why, they haven't shown up all day!" If it weren't for the fact that the air cavalry assigned to you happened to patrol nearby, I guess no one would know that we were all wiped out! ”

Hearing Alistandrina say this, Dane felt even more strange in his heart: "This ...... It shouldn't be! I've been working with those Falcon Knights for a while, and in my opinion, their quality is not low, so it is impossible for this situation to not report any news for a day......"

"How do I know what's wrong with them!" Delina was obviously still angry, but when she said this, she gave Dane a very bad idea.

To verify, he blew a whistle that hung around his neck. This thing was given to him by Sir Marlin, the boss of the air cavalry. Blowing this whistle will produce a sound that is inaudible to human ears, but can be heard by falcons, and travels a long distance. This thing is specially used by the ground team to communicate with the air cavalry. If you don't have this, wouldn't you be able to communicate with the Sword Falcon Knight flying in the air for two or three hundred meters, and you still have to rely on your mouth to roar?

After a while, a falcon knight appeared above the army, circled twice, and landed next to Dane.

"Commander Dane, what do you command?" It was a young knight with short millet hair, and a little freckles on his face, and he certainly looked no older than twenty years old.

Dane recognized him, his name was Les, and he was one of the several falcon knights assigned to follow him. Previously, he was the one who wanted Dane to report about the orc army chasing behind.

Ignoring the pleasantries, Dane directly told Alexandrina that the falcon knight hadn't contacted her for a day.

Les also felt very strange: "This is absolutely abnormal, we are the most elite air warriors under Governor Ozer, and it is impossible for such a bad situation to occur." ”

"Eun." Dane nodded, then changed the subject and asked, "Tell me in detail about the situation when you found out about those orc armies before." ”

"When I was on your orders to reconnoiter to the west, I saw a large amount of smoke and dust. When I got closer, I spotted the orc army. We have been trained in the estimation of numbers, and the number of enemies is definitely more than 4,000, and the troops are very complete, and we have seen quite a few ranks of wolf cavalry and archers. Since there were also some bipedal wyverns hovering over the enemy, I didn't dare to get up close. ”

"Wait......" Dane suddenly stopped when he heard this. His face became a little solemn and asked, "You said that you found a bipedal wyvern among the enemy troops?" ”

"Yes." Les nodded and said, "The Wyvern is the traditional air team of the orc army, and its combat strength is honestly more powerful than our falcon. ”

Dane smiled bitterly, turned his head to Delina and said, "It seems that the reason why those falcon knights who followed you have not heard from you for a whole day has been found. ”

Hearing this, Delina also understood: "You mean, my Sword Falcon Knight was wiped out by the bipedal wyvern of the orc army?" This ......"

Looking at her appearance, you can know that this woman has never thought about the possibility of this aspect before.

She continued, "Then how could so many orc armies suddenly pop up?" Or with air cavalry...... It's not easy to cultivate such a thing as a bipedal wyvern, right? Except for the three major clans, no tribe can afford to raise it. However, shouldn't the main forces of the three nearby clans have all gathered together to fight against Governor Ou Ze under the Beast Blood Castle? How could they still pull out such a group of military forces? ”

Rice couldn't answer that question, and neither could Dane. However, Dane had a guess in his heart, especially after learning that there were two-legged wyverns in the enemy's army, and he felt that his guess was mostly true.

"Right now, there are two possibilities," he said. The first one, or maybe the three major clans still have a hidden power, but I don't quite believe it, this is not in line with the habits and traditions of the orc clans when they conduct raiding operations. ”

Another possibility...... It is likely that these orcs are the army under the Beast Blood Castle. The main forces of the three major clans besieging the Beast Blood Castle are likely to have retreated. ”

That's pretty much the only possibility.
