Schindlaire's troops, who had escaped, quickly withdrew in a southwesterly direction. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 But halfway through the retreat, they received a message from the General Command.

"Intelligence says we've been targeted."

"Really? What kind of people are eyeing us? ”

"Judging from the news from the headquarters of the army, it should be the legendary death knight of the third line of the Cursed Church, Serfield."

After hearing Pearl's message, Grom was silent for a moment, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Lord Grom, what are you laughing at?"

"Looking forward to it? Isn't it? The smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest, and he rubbed the steel battle axe in his hand and continued, "Playing against a legendary-level opponent is what a warrior looks forward to the most. You can't understand the feelings of a warrior like you. ”

Pearl let out an incomprehensible snort, not reacting much to Grom's unreverential words.

Grom said, "Is there anything else in the newspaper?" ”

"Hmm......" Pearl hesitated for a moment, and said, "These undead came from the north, and the three wings of the White Wolf Legion on our right flank were quickly routed after encountering the enemy, and their strength was very strong. ”

"From the north, the right flank is routed...... "Grom muttered these two words, "what then...... Our tribe still has more than 5,000 warriors, how is it? ”

Pearl knew why he asked. The troops that Grom himself led and who were at the forefront of the army were all warriors of his Warsong clan. This number is five thousand.

And the Warsong tribe, this expedition, a total of 10,000 warriors were dispatched. And five thousand men were placed on the north side of the col.

If Serfield had come from the north, he would have run into another Warsong Clan's troops. Now, however, according to intelligence, the Undead Legion of Seffield is following their ass, but the other unit of the Warsong Clan has not been heard from.

What this means, Grom is well aware. The reason why he asked again was to get a definite answer.

Pearl sighed and said, "The intelligence says ...... Annihilated. ”

The orc chieftain, who was walking forward step by step in the mountain path, suddenly stopped.

After a while, he asked a question: "All dead?" ”

"......No," Pearl sighed and said, "There should be three or four hundred troops who escaped, and the Cyclops troops have been following the large army because they are too slow, and they have also survived." ”

"Hmm." Grom nodded, not saying anything more.

After continuing to walk forward for another two hours, he suddenly said, "The terrain around here seems to be pretty good, let's build a defense line here." ”

"Build a line of defense?" Pearl didn't understand what Grom meant for a moment, and she asked, "Aren't we going to retreat?" ”

"No withdrawal." Grom said, "Your Majesty's intention should also be to use our troops as bait to attract enemies and then annihilate them in one fell swoop, right?" In that case, instead of letting the enemy catch up, we should fight between the warehouses, so we might as well build a defensive line and fight them properly. ”

Pearl shook his head and said, "This is not in line with the orders we received. ”

Grom grinned, "Then ask, what if Your Majesty agrees?" ”

It doesn't matter if Pearl says it's good or not, Grom can do it when he thinks of it. On the one hand, he ordered the troops to stop advancing, and on the other hand, he recruited a mage who came with the army.

Soon, a set of instant messaging magic channels unfolded.

"Hello Chief Grom, I'm Verina, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom."

"What about Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty has already led a part of the army to set off ahead of schedule, and now I will temporarily take over the general headquarters, do you have anything to do?"

"I'm not going to continue to lead the troops to retreat, we have found a place with decent terrain, and I plan to build a defensive line here and fight the undead army chasing behind."

There was no message from Verina's side for a while, and Grom was not in a hurry, just waiting in place.

After a few minutes, Verina's voice rang out again: "Chief Grom, I think you know the meaning of what you are doing and the consequences you will face. ”

"Yes, I know, I know better than anyone else."

"Alright, the General Command agrees with your combat strategy."

"Thank you."

……

Grom's request for battle, in essence, was agreed to by Dane.

The day after Grom and Pearl's troops began to build a defensive line in a relatively well-defended place, a force led by Dane was already close to the battlefield.

Riding on a warhorse, a heavily armed young knight, Dane's lieutenant, Colonel Nal, rode from afar. He stood beside Dane and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from the Scouting Griffons that our air force has begun to fight the gargoyles, and we can vaguely see the figure of the opposing bone dragon. According to the analysis, the undead army led by Seffield may have been not far from the defense line of Chief Grom, and it is expected that they will have substantial contact this afternoon. ”

"Okay, I got it." Dane nodded, all this was not beyond his plan for the time being. The army he is now leading is not far from the estimated battlefield, and if he starts to set off, he will be able to reach the Grom Line in half a day. On the other side, the wings of the two Komyrya regiments temporarily transferred to Muken's team have also reached their intended positions.

Now, the flames of war are about to ignite, and it is time to strike.

"Order the whole army, advance at full speed! It is impossible to reach the battlefield within three hours, and all enemies encountered on the way must be annihilated! ”

Nar gave a military salute to Dane and shouted, "Yes! ”

A moment later, the army hidden in the mountains and forests all moved and officially set off!

With the speed of action of this unit under Dane, it would take almost three hours to reach the predetermined battlefield. But in fact, it didn't take long for Dane's troops to run into a small group of undead.

At the moment, Dane's troops numbered about 3,000 men, which was not too many, but there was no doubt that all of them were elite. In order to get to the battlefield as soon as possible, in order to leave Seffield and his army of the undead in this mountainous area, Dane has made a lot of money.

As he rode his horse, he looked back at the four tall men with hoods and robes standing behind him, and the four knights who were followed by a large number of knights on their horses, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He's going to give these emotionless souls a big surprise!
