When the Eastern Expeditionary Army first sent out troops, the team of 3,1200 people was only 1,090 left. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The combat attrition has exceeded more than a third, which has changed the general army, such a large attrition, I am afraid that no one can grit their teeth and hold on.

This is not to say how strong the Crusade Army is, it can only show that victory is indeed a strong agent for soldiers. Even among the pure swords and dreaded ghosts, those temporarily recruited cannon fodder mercenaries, after winning the war, seemed to have been baptized, and it was rare that there was no shouting about the hardships of the battle.

The excitement and joy that brought with the victory excited the soldiers. Especially when Moore promised that he would come up with a handsome reward after returning to Schindlaire, it made this excitement continue.

However, the soldiers can get carried away by the victory, but the generals cannot.

Especially now, the attrition of the Crusade Army is so serious that, in Dane's mind, this war can no longer be fought.

What's more, in fact, their strategic goals have also been achieved.

At the beginning, the Eastern Crusade crossed the Broken Dragon Peak to the Eastern Wasteland, and kept in the hinterland of the orcs, launching a devastating sweep against the small tribes that had been transferred to the source of troops, and even threatened the survival of some large tribes for a time.

Now, the 20,000 orcs under the Beast Blood Castle have withdrawn - the news is accurate. In this way, the most important strategic objective has been accomplished, and next, they only need to wait for the pursuing legion led by Ou Ze to kill and wound as many orcs as possible, and drive them back to the wasteland completely, and the war will be considered a complete victory. Without the threat of the orc army, Ozer can spare time to deal with the aggressive Governor Conri, and the crisis facing Morno will be solved, and there may be a chance to take out Malone in one fell swoop and completely annex Shawan Harbor. And Dane was also able to get Hanhai Fort and the villages near the town as his own territory, and get a forward base on the mainland. When the time comes, whether it is to build an orc territory in Hanhai Castle or to establish a personal clan territory, it is up to him to choose.

According to Dane's thoughts, in fact, there is no need to fight this battle with the vanguard army of the orc army. If it weren't for the fact that the troops led by Sarkins were pressing people too hard and clearly looking like they wanted to destroy them, Dane really didn't want to bother to fight to the death with 4,000 orcs, so what's wrong with letting them go?

But I don't dare to do anything, this battle is won, and everything is okay. The vanguard army of the orcs collapsed, and the follow-up orc army in order to escape from Ou Ze's pursuit, as long as the Crusade Army was not stupid and sent to the door, I am afraid that the orcs would not have much energy to deal with them. Everything is so good, it is developing according to the best momentum, and as long as nothing happens, most of the pre-war ideas can come true.

It's not that Dane doesn't have a greater thirst, he certainly has. But in everything you do, you have to do what you can. This time, he decided to participate in Morno's crusade, which was an adventure in itself.

However, before making the decision to take this risk, he had a goal in mind, and he also considered the question between benefit and risk, and finally made such a decision. But now, the strategic goal has been achieved, the benefits are basically in hand without accidents, and it is not cost-effective to rush up and fight hard like a stunned person. Moreover, with such a serious loss of troops, the combat strength that the Eastern Expeditionary Army actually has at the moment has actually been greatly reduced, and there is really nothing to fight in this battle.

But Morno didn't think so.

……

As night fell, the Eastern Expeditionary Army, which had just finished cleaning the battlefield and bidding farewell to its comrades who had died in battle, had already set up camp a kilometer south of the battlefield. At such a distance, there was not much blood on the battlefield, and after a victory, the soldiers had every reason to have a happy night. It's a fucking thing to not have a woman, but it's barely enough to deal with meat and wine.

Outside the camp, the sentinels who were arranged were slightly unhappy, and at the same time, the falcon knights, who were flying in the sky and patrolling the sky, had just fought with the orcs during the day. However, for the sake of the safety of the camp, they also had to suffer a little.

However, in addition to the unhappy soldiers on duty, several generals of the Crusade Army were also unhappy.

It's not just unhappy, it's even a little angry!

The cause was a quote from General Morno: "Sir Marlin has suggested that we continue all the way west, and cooperate with the offensive of the Governor of Oze, to stop the retreat of the orc army." I agreed with his suggestion. ”

When he heard this, Dane's face immediately sank. He looked at Morno, who was full of determination, and Sir Marlin, who sat beside him, with half an empty sleeve, and realized in his heart that the two of them must have spoken once before he knew it. And looking at Morno's current appearance, it is obvious that he has made up his mind. When he said this, he did not use a negotiating tone, but more like a 'notice'.

Dane stood aside and looked at him coldly, not the first to jump out and speak. But the fact that he is silent does not mean that others do not object.

"General Morno, if the personnel of the Crusade Army are still as complete as when they first entered the Eastern Wasteland, I will not object to this order of yours. But now, our strength has been drastically reduced, and the soldiers are quite tired after repeated battles, so I'm afraid we won't be able to complete the task of intercepting the orc army, right? ”

Alexandrina tactfully expressed her objections.

After the woman spoke, Chapur also opened her mouth to persuade: "General, what Commander Delina said still makes sense, we ...... now There really may be no way to complete the task of Governor Ozer. With less than 2,000 troops, we will be crushed before the orc army of at least fifteen thousand or more. ”

Chappell's mind was still quite clear, and following him, the always belligerent Reddish also opened his mouth to persuade: "Boss, we can teach those orcs a lesson whenever we want, but this time, our strength is indeed not enough." I feel it, or think about it again? ”

It didn't matter if Alexandrina objected, even her two important subordinates objected, and Morno was a little hesitant. He glanced at Marin beside him, and the two of them seemed to be looking at each other.

Under the gaze of everyone, the orc overseers thought for a while, and finally made their own decision: "I have made up my mind, I will rest for half a day tomorrow and leave in the afternoon!" ”
