Chapter 194: Political Legacy
The supreme commander of the combined forces of Komya Island and the Pure Sword Mercenary Regiment is undoubtedly Dane. www.biquge.info When he made up his mind to continue with his troops, no matter how much Delin disagreed, he had to obey the order.
Delin, who calmed down, remembered that Dane had also pondered for a while after listening to the stories of the white wolf soldiers. At the same time, he realized that the reason why Dane would lead the army into the swamp in front of him in this situation must have his own thoughts and plans.
It's just that he can't guess what Dane was thinking in the middle. A few times, he wanted to ask for clarification, but some orcs that had begun to appear around him had put the entire army on alert, and from time to time battles broke out. In this state, it is really not the time to ask questions.
And at this moment, Dane is actually still thinking about his previous decision.
Tactically, it is not a wise choice to lead his soldiers into this quagmire, and there is a great risk that he and his troops will be like Morno, trapped in and unable to get out; Strategically, this is also meaningless, Morno's army has achieved the strategic goal of disrupting the orc army, as Delin said, now in fact, just wait for the back of Ozer to come up and clean up the mess, he went in to save hundreds of soldiers from the White Wolf Castle, and there is nothing else that can be done.
But this is only a war dimension, and Dane is thinking about a more far-reaching oneβa political influence.
Morno is dead.
Who is Morno? He is not just the leader of the Crusade Army, not just a general who leads the army, he is a warlord who keeps his own army and divides one side, he controls Rotten Wolf Town, a transportation hub to the interior of Schindlaire, and he also has White Wolf Castle under his command, and half of Shawan Harbor must obey his orders.
And now, he's dead.
As a result, whether it is the White Wolf Castle, or the Rotten Wolf Town, as well as the half of the rich port, it is now equivalent to having no owner. Which of these three places is not much stronger than Hanhai Fort, which does not poop and has a resident population of just over a thousand? And how could Dane not be thrilled by this?
With the support of huge ambitions, he came up with an idea: to take the White Wolf Fort and the Rotten Wolf Town into his hands, and then go to kill Malone and take the port of Shawan Bay.
The idea was bold and greedy, but it continued to grow and expand in his heart until he could no longer resist the temptation.
But he still had some sense in his head. He knew that if he forcibly went to rob Rotten Wolf Town and White Wolf Castle, it would be tantamount to a fool's dream. There are still fifteen hundred elite warriors of Morno in the White Wolf Castle, and even if Morno is dead, Dane will never let them open the city gates and recognize him as the new master with his own mouth.
But those fifteen hundred people are absolutely impossible to bypass the hurdle of the past, not to mention that Dane needs their support if he wants to control the two towns, let's just say that in the future, with his strength alone, it is a very difficult thing to confront Ma Long, who is eyeing him next to him.
But if the soldiers left behind by Morno were co-opted, things would be much easier. Not only are the two towns equivalent to falling directly into his hands, counting the power he has now, plus those soldiers, he doesn't dare to say that it is compared to the power of Morno at its peak, but there must be no problem with Marlon. Behind him were Komirya, Orinedu, and the bases of the other six clans that had not been released in the heart of the dynasty. As long as he is allowed to stabilize his position, relying on Cormierya, he can start from the southeast of Sindelair and stir up the world.
It's too early to think about that, but encroaching on Rotten Wolf Town and White Wolf Fort is the focus right now. To do so, he had to take a few more risks - he had to pray that Chappelle and Reddis were alive.
These two men, whose prestige in the White Wolf Castle is second only to Morno himself, are the most ideal successors to the political legacy left by General Morno. Dane wants to co-opt the soldiers and towns that Morno left behind, and the two of them are the top priority. As long as the two of them can be convinced, then the rest of the matter will be easy to say.
β¦β¦
At full speed, the orcs, who still had not organized a full-scale force, basically had no way to hinder the troops led by Dane. Soon, Dane found the main force of the human army through the reconnaissance of the rangers and the analysis of the information told by the few white wolf soldiers he had rescued earlier.
Of the more than a thousand warriors led by Morno, there were less than four hundred left in front of Dane's eyes at this moment. They are under siege by double the number of orc soldiers, and from the direction of Shizuipo, small groups of orc troops are still joining the siege.
The only thing that reassures Dane is that neither Chappell nor Redice are dead. Although, it was embarrassing to watch the two of them fight bravely in the encirclement, but after all, people are still alive, which is more important than anything else.
There could be no delay, and Dane gave the order for the whole army to attack very decisively!
There was no need to arrange any specific tactics, and the dragon man squadron opened the way, and the strong dragon warriors rushed into the enemy formation, followed by other soldiers rushing forward, coupled with the constant fire of the elven rangers, this part of the orc army surrounding Chapur was quickly carved out of a gaping gap by Dane.
Seeing that there were people to support, the white wolf soldiers who were under siege also radiated great enthusiasm for fighting. Although they were exhausted from the overnight battle, no one wanted to sit idly by when life and death were at stake.
Under the attack from both sides, the orc army that lacked command, and could even be said to have blindly gathered together and blindly participated in the battle, was quickly repulsed. And this means that Chappell and Reddish are out of danger for the time being.
After hacking to death the last orc soldier who did not flee and was still stubbornly resisting, Reddis and Chappell met with Dane.
Chappell had a lot of wounds on his body, and he looked very embarrassed when he was out of breath. But he still came to Dain's face, and said with a relieved expression: "Thank God, Dane, if you come any later, none of us will try to survive." β
"Is there only so many people left?" Dane asked.
Chappell said: "There should be more than that, but these are the only ones who are with me, and the others can no longer be found." β
"Okay." Dane nodded and said, "There are too many orcs, I don't know when another army will come, and without further ado, we have to evacuate now, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past and be re-entangled." β
Chappell hesitated slightly, and he looked behind him, where Reddish was limping over.
Before anyone arrived, he was heard shouting angrily, "Dane! Dane! You're fucking too late! β
With a slight sigh, Chappelle guessed that this would happen. (To be continued.) )
