On the night of January 17, in the Great Tent of Morno, several leaders of the Crusade were engaged in a heated discussion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe content of this discussion is about whether or not to take the initiative to meet the 4,000-strong orc army.

In fact, if you can beat it, it must be fought first. But the problem now is that the risk of fighting is too great, and the strength of the two sides is a little different, especially when considering that the army of eighty percent of the orcs is following behind, if they can't fight in one battle, or if the loss is too great if they win, then let the army of the people catch up, then their lonely army behind the enemy will have the risk of annihilation.

After discussing for a long time, the discussion could not come to any conclusion. Now, the Crusade Army has too little information. The lack and inadequacy of strategic intelligence makes it difficult for the top management to make effective judgments. Even Dane now couldn't figure out whether to fight or flee, and where he was going if he was to avoid the edge for the time being.

But soon, the news brought by a falcon knight quickly made the leaders of the Eastern Crusade make a unified decision: kill that group of orc troops!

This falcon knight who had just arrived did not belong to any of the falcon squadron that Marin had brought, and was a completely unfamiliar face. But Marin knew him, and this guy was a soldier in another squadron, and that squadron was supposed to have stayed with Governor Ozer all along.

This falcon knight, who was supposed to be in the Beast Blood Castle and appeared here at this moment, came with an order from Governor Ozer: "The orc army has retreated, and Governor Ozer is leading 22,000 Hindlaire's warriors in pursuit. The Governor asks you to intercept the retreating vanguard and slow down the enemy's retreat in order to gain a chance to annihilate and crush the orc army! ”

As soon as this news came out, it was like throwing a boulder on the calm lake, and it instantly stirred up a thousand waves!

After hearing this news, Morno and the others had no reason to continue to stop here and let those orcs pass.

Now, the situation is much clearer. It seems that those 4,000 orcs should be the vanguard of the retreating orc army. Their responsibility is likely to be in direct opposition to the order given to the Crusade by Governor Ozer - to destroy the Crusade Army, which is likely to stand in the way!

"It seems that we can't escape this battle." Chappell said.

"Then let's fight!" Reddis seemed excited.

They looked excited, but Dane on the other side did not dare to be as happy as they were. He frowned tightly, thinking about the gains and losses of this battle.

This is a vanguard army of orcs, will it really have a good effect on intercepting the orc army by defeating them? There are 4,000 people, and after defeating this vanguard army, how much strength is left of the Eastern Expeditionary Army? Next, the orc army that is still on the way to retreat, what will they use to intercept it?

Dane expressed deep doubts about this. His gaze looked upward, but he saw that Morno was completely excited.

He thought about it and decided to persuade him: "General, I think ...... Let's not make such rash decisions. ”

Before Morno could speak, Marlin on the side was not happy. This falcon knight had just received Dain's life-saving grace two days ago, if it weren't for Cecilia's magic skills, the broken arm would have flown for a few hours, and the wound had not been treated at all, and it was estimated that blood loss alone would be enough to kill him.

It stands to reason that the old knight should be grateful to Dane. In fact, he said earlier that when the war is over, he must thank Dane.

However, when Dane showed that he disagreed with the Crusade Army's attack, Marin was also the first to jump out and choke him:

"How can this be a 'reckless' decision? This is an order from Governor Ozer, and it is a great opportunity for us to completely eliminate the threat of the orcs and exchange it for ten years of stability on Schindlaire's eastern frontier! ”

That's not wrong at all. If the 20,000 orcs who were originally under the Beast Blood Castle were all wiped out, Ou Ze would continue to move eastward, and he could completely expand his actual control territory by several hundred kilometers. The three major clans of Black Rock, Broken Tooth and Ribs, which had lost 20,000 main forces, had no strength to resist the attack of the human race.

Of course, the land of the Eastern Wasteland is even more barren than Hindlaire, and it is full of aliens. It's not so easy to control. But even if you don't want those lands, just destroying the living force of 20,000 orcs is enough to greatly weaken the strength of the three major clans in the westernmost part of the wasteland and closest to Hindlaire, and they will not be able to slow down their strength for at least ten years.

This is very important for Ozer, who will next compete with the governor of Conley in Chaos City for the supremacy of Sindelare. After all, Ozer's main sphere of influence was on Schindlaire's eastern border.

He has been dragged on the eastern border by the orcs of the three major clans for many years, and he has not been able to spare 100% of his energy to participate in the struggle for hegemony within Sindelare. Now, such a great opportunity to be able to fight peacefully for ten years is placed in front of him, how can he miss it?

It's a matter of the ass, even though Marin is now fighting alongside the Crusade and has been blessed with Dane's lifesaver. However, no matter what, he is still a direct subordinate of Governor Ouze, and all his considerations must be from the perspective of Governor Ouze.

But Dane is different, although his interests are very similar to Morno and Governor Oze, and the general direction is unified, but after all, there is a difference. The most important point is that Ou Ze doesn't care if the Crusade Army is completely wiped out, anyway, there is not a single soldier except for a squadron of falcons; Morno is not very worried about what will happen if the army in his hand is exhausted, although in that case, his losses will be very large, but he still has a small army of 2,000 people in White Wolf Castle, and as long as this battle is won, Ou Ze is not a person who unloads the mill and kills the donkey, and the follow-up benefits are replenished, which is enough to make up for Morno's losses.

But if Dane had all these armies in his hands, he would have become the commander of the bare pole.

The little money he has in his hand now is all accumulated by hard work in the past few months, how can he be willing to throw it all here?
