On the night of the 23rd, Dane parted ways with Morno with his army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

said that it was a parting of ways, but in fact, it didn't come to that point, after all, Dane still had a task of supporting and responding, otherwise, he would have wanted to run a little farther.

However, while taking on this responsibility, he did not want to trap himself in the huge whirlpool in front of him.

Based on the available information, he roughly estimated the route of the orc army, and according to some strategies revealed by Morno, he drew a battlefield area where a battle might break out - basically an area centered on Shizuipo. Then, he took his army directly, spent a day's effort, and ran fifty kilometers away in one breath before resting.

This should already be considered a relatively safe location. Fifty kilometers away, if the orcs send a large army, it is estimated that it will take two days to run. It would take at least a day for a small force to come to him for trouble. What's more, he doesn't have no legs, and if the enemy is coming against him, won't he run?

What's more, the orcs are in a hurry to flee for their lives, and it is annoying enough to have Morno by his side, if Dane doesn't die, these guys won't come to trouble him from fifty kilometers away, unless they are really not afraid of being caught up by Ozawa. Of course, if you think about the situation in a good direction, maybe Morno's delaying tactics really succeeded? Who can say for sure?

Just as he ordered his troops to camp, a falcon knight who was in charge of communication between him and Morno came with a report of the battle.

"General Morno had already set up a defensive line at Shizuipo in the morning, with a small force on Shizuipo, and had made the illusion that there was a large force stationed in it, hoping to frighten the orc army, or at least make them suspicious. But the enemy had too many bipedal dragoons, and our Falcon Knight Brigade was unable to stop them, and they found out the truth about Shizuipo. They are now continuing their march towards Shizuipo, and it is expected that they will send an advance force to storm it, and our line of defense at Shizuipo is not expected to hold out tomorrow morning. ”

The first is bad news.

Morno's idea is actually very good, pretending that there is a large army stationed in Shizuipo, if those orcs are tricked, they will more or less have to doubt in front of Shizuipo, and the purpose of delaying time will be achieved. It's a pity that the strength of the air reconnaissance between the two sides is obviously uneven, the orcs have at least more than two hundred bipedal wyverns, but Marin's falcon knights, after a few battles, the number has dropped to only about forty, and it is impossible to stop them from scouting in the sky.

In this way, you can know at a glance what the virtual and the real are.

"Good work." Dane handed over a glass of water and said, "I'll trouble you to continue to pass on the situation in the future." ”

……

After sending off the Falcon Knight, Dane didn't slack off. He scattered all of Pehins' rangers, including some of the sword dancers and mercenaries who had reconnaissance experience. The total number of scout soldiers sent out was nearly two hundred, accounting for one-fifth of his strength. And their job is very important - to make sure that nothing goes wrong within 30 kilometers.

As for the rest, there wasn't much Dane could do. Now, he can only pay close attention to the intelligence ahead and always be prepared accordingly.

In the early morning of January 25, as Dane expected, Morno's outpost on Shizuipo was fiercely attacked by more than 600 orc soldiers. The Eastern Expeditionary Army has only arranged a total of less than 200 people on several defense lines in Shizuipo, and of course it is impossible for this manpower to hold on for too long.

Fortunately, Morno also knew that such a sacrifice was worthless, not to mention that the soldiers under his command now died one less than one, and then there was an important task of attacking the orc army, so he also simply ordered that if he couldn't do anything, he could retreat on his own.

As a result, the soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army deployed in Shizuipo fought and retreated, and did not come hard with the orcs, but they did not dare to fight with a knife or a shot, which played a role in delaying and hindering somewhat.

By noon, Shizuipo was completely occupied by the orcs' advance party.

Morno didn't seem to care much about losing control of Shizuipo. He also understands that even if Shizuipo is in his own hands, he will definitely not be able to keep it, but he can't give it to others in vain. His original intention was to cause a little trouble for the orc army, and he didn't think about fighting the orcs here.

However, when the advance troops of the orcs in the follow-up put on a posture to infiltrate and occupy the area around Shizuipo, Morno could not sit idly by. These are the places he has reserved for himself to attack the orc army!

So, under the orders of the Savage Overseers, the soldiers of White Wolf Castle dealt a resolute blow to the orc army that was intent on expanding their control.

The strength of the orc advance team was not very large, and after a whole afternoon of fighting, they could not take advantage of anything, so they had to give up.

At noon on the 26th, the orc army arrived at Shizuipo. Because Morno's troops were eyeing the surrounding area, the orc army, which had been marching in a hurry, cautiously did not continue to advance, but stayed in Shizuipo for a whole afternoon, and sent troops to drive away Morno, who had been staying not far from Shizuipo.

The delay of the whole afternoon was definitely a great contribution made by the Eastern Expeditionary Army. Governor Ozawa, who was chasing after him, also took this opportunity to shorten the distance between him and the orc army, and at this moment, the distance between the two sides may be less than a day.

As dusk approached, the Sword Falcon Knights, who were patrolling the orc army in the sky, were suddenly attacked by a large number of bipedal wyverns. The difference in strength between the two sides was huge, and the Falcon Knight was no match and was driven away before he could hold out for long. I thought this would be the end of the matter, but what I didn't expect was that when it was getting late, those two-legged wyverns would chase after the falcon knights, with the intention of destroying them all!

By nightfall, almost all the Falcon Knights had been driven away dozens of kilometers away from the battlefield, and it was completely impossible to provide any intelligence support for the battlefield.

It was precisely because of this that Morno's brain moved and realized that this was a fighter!

The two more were reached, and I didn't want to talk, and I was a little disheartened. (To be continued.) )
