Chapter 204: Running away

Dane was going back to Hindlaire, and there were three roads. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The nearest and fastest one is to go straight west from Shizuipo, and if there is no obstacle on the road, the rapid march will take more than a week to reach the White Wolf Castle. But this road is impassable, Shizuipo is a predetermined battlefield for a major battle between the two armies, unless Dane asks every soldier under his command to put a pair of wings, he will not think about it.

The farthest and safest one is to return the same way and go back from Broken Dragon Peak. Although it is the safest, it is so easy to run into the orc rout who was defeated by Ou Ze, it is inevitable to be entangled, not to mention that the road is still long, and it will take a month to return.

Neither road is reliable, and the rest is the third one, which is to continue south, bypass Shizuipo, and then go west.

Walking like this is much farther than going straight, after all, Shizuipo, as the established battlefield of the battle between the two armies in the next few days, is still very large. If you want to make a detour for safety, the distance will have to be increased by at least two or three days. The most important thing is that it is not particularly far from the battlefield in this way, and it is easy to be affected by a major war -- in a war with a total scale of more than 30,000 on both sides, it is necessary to occupy the place where the boss is in the middle of the battle, not to mention the various mobile forces and all kinds of troops that have fled the battlefield after being beaten back after the war has been carried out for a period of time. It's not far enough away that it's easy to bump into.

But he didn't have a choice, and in terms of time and safety, he could only go this way, and for this, he could only pray that he was moving fast enough.

……

At noon on January 28, after retrieving the supplies in the camp, Dane led his troops to the west, following the established route.

In this more than half a day, they only walked half of the detour, and the speed was not satisfactory to Dane, but it was indeed impossible to be faster. In fact, it would have been difficult to cover even a third of the distance on a normal march, but in order to speed up, he ordered the whole army to march quickly.

Today, the battle of Shizuipo has not yet begun, and the battle situation is not chaotic, whether it is the troops of Governor Ou Ze or those orcs, they are all gathered in a strict confrontation, and rarely divide and move. In this way, this time is the quietest time near Shizuipo, and it is also a good time for them to hurry. If you can completely bypass Shizuipo today, it must be the best, and the whirlpool of the follow-up war can be perfectly avoided.

So, in the afternoon, Dane ordered the whole army to advance quickly. Even if he was carrying a large amount of baggage, he desperately demanded that all the soldiers under his command run as fast as possible.

This kind of rapid march is extremely physically exhausting, but he doesn't care, running for an afternoon, he can have a good rest in the evening, but this kind of good opportunity to escape from the whirlpool is not very often, and if he misses it, it will be gone.

In the middle, they ran into two more flying falcon knights. Governor Augzer's side still didn't know about Morno's death, and the two Saker Knights still came with Governor Augzer's orders, and also asked Dain if he had seen their comrades. Dane, on the other hand, dealt with the past with his usual attitude, and at the same time ordered Pehin to continue to black hand the empty knight after leaving, and how long could it be delayed.

After dark, the rapid march finally stopped.

The team of more than 1,000 people ran to this point, and there were only seven or eight hundred people left, and two or three hundred people fell behind one after another in the process of rapid marching. Fortunately, the vast majority of these stragglers are some cannon fodder mercenaries temporarily recruited by Pure Sword and Dreadnosaurs, their hard power is worrying, and their will is not so firm, and they will fall behind in the rapid march, which is expected by Dane.

In this regard, he didn't have any special expression except for asking Delin, Maca, and the two deputy leaders of the Pure Sword Mercenary Regiment to go to the back to collect the stragglers. He would take the core team that followed him and rest in place for the night, waiting for the scattered soldiers to follow, and as for how many people would come to meet tomorrow morning, he didn't care at all, anyway, he would definitely not wait, as soon as the morning dawned, he would immediately lead the team to continue to advance. As for the mercenaries who were not collected by the four of them in the end, Dane didn't plan to wait at all, and let them fend for themselves.

By the early morning of the next day, there were less than two hundred mercenaries recovered. These guys were all formed into a team by Dane, and he was still not prepared to wait if he could run as fast as he could, and he was still not prepared to wait if he could run fast.

A morning went by, and sure enough, almost all the guys who had a history of falling behind were also left behind on this day. This time, instead of letting them run on their own, Dane had Delin put them together, even if they ran slower, and they had to stay in formation. In addition to them, there were some other mercenaries who slowly couldn't keep up with the team and fell to the rear, and all of them were incorporated into this reserve group.

Yesterday this reserve regiment was not set up because it was not needed; But today, they are still able to come in handy.

At about ten o'clock in the morning of the 29th, Dane got the news that the battle of Shizuipo had begun. In fact, there was no need for scouts to report, and when there was a very violent power fluctuation from the direction of Shizuipo, which was formed by many powerful figures during the battle, it was possible to know the news of the start of the battle without having to see it with your own eyes. Moreover, this is not just the beginning of the battle, I am afraid that it has reached a climax.

The specific battlefield that the high-level mage Easterling saw with his eagle eye from a distance, and the information that the rangers sent out soon after also returned to report for duty, all confirmed that Dane's feeling was not wrong at all.

sighed secretly in my heart, this good day of rushing is gone.

The battle at Shizuipo entered the climax stage, and a few defeated teams scattered and fled, and the ghost knew where they would run, and a few teams ran to the vicinity of Dane. If it's an orc team, then it's okay to say, he doesn't plan to pay attention to those who don't dare to provoke, and those who dare to come up to find death will also be fulfilled. If it encounters the rout of the human army, it is called real trouble.

You can't fight, it's not the same conceptual thing as letting Pehin assassinate the Falcon Knight; When the human army sees its compatriots, most of them will not avoid it, and they will definitely meet it directly.

It's a good thing to be able to co-opt, but what if it's a big deal to bring it to Sindlaire? But if you run into some of Ozer's officers and pounce on him to get Dane back to the battlefield, it will be troublesome.

I was afraid that something would come, but at about noon, there was really a rout led by Ozer's officers and came to the vicinity of Dane's troops.

Fortunately, he left a back hand, and the reserve team composed of stray mercenaries could play a role at this time. (To be continued.) )
