New Caesar calendar year 217, January 6, noon, sunny. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

By the time the sun reached their buttocks, most of the soldiers had finally woken up—and those who didn't wake up had been yelled at by the officers from their tents, and it was almost time to set off.

After lunch, the Crusade Army finally restarted and set out for the depths of the Eastern Wasteland.

In fact, after exterminating the Dragon Hunting Clan, not long after they went to the East, they had officially stepped into the land of the Eastern Wasteland. They could feel this from the land that was gradually becoming more desolate than Hindlaire, from the yellow sand that blew from time to time, and from the sun in the sky that never seemed to set.

And since then, Dane's map module has basically failed. Unless there was a high-precision magic map of the Eastern Wasteland in front of him, fused by the map module, or he himself walked through every inch of the entire wasteland, otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to rely on the map module to enter and exit the no-man's land like on the Broken Dragon Peak.

In this case, if the Crusade Army wants to maintain its advantage in reporting, it can only rely on a wide range of scouts and scouts, relying on them to obtain sufficient information.

After entering the wasteland, the situation becomes unknown and dire. But it's not without good news, for example, the weather.

It's already January, and it stands to reason that this should be the season of snow. However, there is no snow in Hindlaire, which is located in the south, and there is no such weather in the southern part of the Eastern Heath, which is further south than Hindlaire. Not to mention the snow, even in January, the latitude where they are now now, the temperature during the day, it is rare to drop to single digits. It can be a little colder at night, and the temperature can fluctuate around freezing.

However, in the Oriental Wasteland, I am afraid that there will not be two rains in a year, let alone snow.

If you want to see snow, you have to walk north.

In fact, this must be a good thing for the expeditionary force. If it is really like the central and northern parts of the continent, where you have to wear heavy winter clothes in winter, then the Crusade Army, which is lightly armed and does not even bring too much food supplies, will definitely not be able to move as efficiently as it is now. It is bound to be dragged down by the weather and logistics.

When it comes to food supplies, the Crusade Army has another embarrassing thing to face - they don't have much to eat.

At the beginning, when it was decided to march quickly, the baggage team also chose to go into battle lightly, and they did not carry much supplies. After that, whether it was in the Broken Dragon Peak Mountains or now in the Eastern Wasteland, it was impossible for them to get any supplies from the rear and from the White Wolf Castle. The road to Broken Dragon Peak is not easy for even the army to walk, and it is even more impossible for the logistics supply line to cross Broken Dragon Peak to send food.

This point, Dane and Morno, they had already thought about earlier. In fact, whether it was Morno's original idea of breaking through the orc's defense line from the front, or the route that Dane chose to take the Dragon Peak, after entering the Eastern Wasteland, it was inevitable that it would be impossible to continue to get supplies from the rear.

This in itself is a very risky, even a bit of a shipbreaker. In the hinterland of the orc tribe, if they want not to starve to death or die of thirst, they must survive by fighting and feeding themselves by plundering the resources of the orcs. This person is also very consistent with their initial strategy, isn't the purpose of the Eastern Crusade army entering the Eastern Wasteland to make trouble in the orc's lair and force them to retreat?

When he was on Broken Dragon Peak, there were actually some problems with logistics and supplies. At that time, Morno considered whether to limit the quota to support it for a longer period of time. But luckily, when I came out of the mountain, I ran into the dragon hunting clan.

After destroying such an orc tribe, the looted resources were enough for the army to eat and drink for many days.

After entering the wasteland, the Crusade Army was not idle, in fact, this was the real war that was about to begin. Every day that follows will be a great test for this lone force. If it weren't for the fact that many clans of the orc tribe had gathered an army of 20,000 people under the city of Beast Blood Castle, resulting in an empty rear, the army led by Morno and Dane would have been able to exterminate them on the loess by entering the Eastern Wasteland.

Now, however, the situation is reversed.

On January 6, the Eastern Expeditionary Army officially stepped into the Eastern Wasteland. On the 8th, the scouts of the Crusade found two small orc settlements. These two settlements should both belong to the Black Rock Clan.

The Black Rock Clan, the Broken Tooth Clan, and the Rib Clan are the three largest orc clans of Hindlaire's generation. Each of these three clans is a large clan with a population of more than 10,000. Together with a few small clans, they constitute the main force of the orc tribes in the southern part of the Eastern Wasteland. At the same time, it is they who have been fighting for life and death with Schindlaire's human army all year round. Now, most of the combat power of the orc alliance army under the Beast Blood Castle comes from these three clans and their vassal clans.

The orcs to the north, and the orcs deeper into the wasteland, are rarely involved in the war with Hindlaire. The reason is too far away.

After receiving the information that the enemy settlement had been discovered, the entire Eastern Expeditionary Army was decisively divided into two parts, and in the same night, the two small orc tribes, with a total population of only about seven or eight hundred, were wiped out.

It's like attacking the dragon hunting clan, killing everyone who can be killed, and then burning the stronghold to ashes with a fire, and some orcs who occasionally escape don't chase and kill, let the news of their destruction spread to everyone.

Of course, the Crusade Army does not want their whereabouts to be exposed, and if they can not be exposed, it will definitely be the best. However, they have a more important purpose than hiding their whereabouts: to let thousands of orcs throughout the wasteland know that the human army is burning and looting.

Only in this way can the fear of blood and destruction spread faster and farther, and the spread of chaos will be greater. And as long as these things are available, then the orc army that is on the front line and under the beast blood fortress will definitely find it difficult to fight with Governor Ouze with peace of mind.

As long as they are unable to break through the Beast Blood Fort as soon as possible, the chaos in the rear is getting bigger and bigger, and the multi-clan and multi-tribal orc coalition forces under heavy pressure will definitely not be able to hold on for a long time, and the faster the withdrawal will be.

So, with this premise, what could be more effective than having the victims go around spreading fear?
