He was angry that today's action failed to achieve his goal.

Originally, I thought that after a period of attrition, there were not many soldiers in the Black Stone Territory, and under the surprise attack of the orcs, they would definitely be defeated in a battle.

At that time, there won't be many guards around Ma Long, and it will be easy to solve.

Unfortunately, everything is taken for granted......

Through today's battle, Jennis can see that the Black Stone Collar definitely hides a lot of strength, and Ma Long is as the Witch King said, it is difficult to entangle!

He glanced fiercely in the direction of Los Angeles, and his eyes fell through the night and on the city.

There seemed to be a tall figure there, with a halberd, looking over here.

"Humph......"

Jennis' snorted coldly, "We'll see......

Since you can't do it in one fell swoop, let's spend it slowly, and see who consumes whom?

…………

In the evening, when the war ended, the losses were counted, the wounded were treated, and by the time Malone was relieved from his busyness, it was already the middle of the night.

Walking on the way to the City Lord's Mansion, Ma Long thought about today's gains and losses.

During the daytime battle, a large amount of materials were consumed, and weapons, armor, arrows, bows and crossbows were somewhat stretched.

There are not many battles of this scale today, there are one or two, and Malone will have to lead people to run.

But it's not all bad, almost all of the soldiers who came this time under the Blackstone Leader, who are still alive, have been successfully promoted to knighthood.

It's a tremendous amount of energy, and if used correctly, it can sweep across the kingdom.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Malone was welcomed in by the guards.

All the way to the study.

Here, several decision-makers in Los Angeles are here, just send Malone.

"How?"

As soon as Malone entered, before he could sit down, General Wood couldn't wait to ask.

"It's fine!" Ma Long pulled out a chair and sat down, "Our treatment ability is still relatively strong, and the loss of personnel is not too large." But in terms of materials, there are too many consumptions, and after a battle, there are many gaps.

"Even a complete set of armor and weapons for each person is difficult to muster, I wonder if the city lord can support some here?" As he spoke, Malone looked at Fei Lun.

"We don't have any more." The city lord shook his head, "After successive wars, the materials in Los Angeles are already extremely poor, not only weapons and equipment, but also food can't support it for too long. ”

"Then it looks like you're going to think about retreating?" Malone asked several people.

Mammon and the others glanced at each other, their eyes flickered a little, and they seemed to be communicating secretly, do you want to tell him?

Eventually, as if an agreement had been reached, the City Lord of Feilun coughed and cleared his throat.

"Ahem......"

"This ...... We had prepared a secret passage that led to a grove ten miles outside the city. ”

"Oh......" Ma Long's heart moved, no wonder when the orcs besieged the city, several people were able to not panic, and sure enough, there was a way back.

"Is that time set?"

"Not yet!" Fei Lun said: "When I came to you this time, I actually meant to discuss retreat. ”

It's strange to believe you, Ma Long said secretly in his heart: "The eye contact just now thought I didn't see it?" ”

However, what you think in your heart does not affect your outward performance.

With a smile on his face, he discussed with several people how to retreat.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, the smile on Ma Long's original face disappeared directly, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

Sure enough, it is better to rely on others than on yourself, fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise I would have been miserable this time.

Fei Lun and the others did prepare a passage out of the city, but this passage was too small and could only allow a single person to pass, and not many people could walk with Ben.

And there are orcs everywhere outside the city, if there are more people out of the city, the movement must be not small, once discovered, there is no need to run, all have to fold in the wild.

It is impossible for Malone to leave his army behind and leave secretly.

I had to abandon this path, and I still had to rely on what I had prepared before.

For the next few days, the orcs went on the offensive.

But there is no previous indomitable momentum, and there is some unhurried meaning.

They are in no hurry to wipe out these humans.

On the contrary, it fell little by little, like a cat and a mouse, and was not in a hurry to eat it.

Although the previous tough battle made the orcs slightly different from the combat effectiveness of the human army.

But he didn't think that the other party could stir up any storm under the siege of the orc's heroic army.

They just took advantage of the walls.

If it weren't for the blind command of that idiot wizard, he would have taken this place a long time ago.

Just like now, in fact, it is completely possible to surround this city, and when the other party's supplies are exhausted, it will naturally collapse without a fight.

But the wizard insisted on attacking every day, saying that it was to prevent the human army from sneaking away.

In fact, he just wanted to consume the living power of the orcs.

The orc leader grumbled in his tent, "Orcs are indeed overpopulated, but they should not be consumed in such a meaningless place.

"When a large area of land is laid in the future, a lot of people will have to cultivate it, and if the population consumption is too large, who will cultivate the land in the future?

"Those gnolls are not good, and I don't know what the king thinks, why do you want to agree to the demands of these wizards, who knows if the other party has any conspiracy?"

Of course, it only dared to say this to itself, but it didn't dare to say it in front of a wizard.

Thinking of those strange powers, Grand Commander Ban En couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly collected his errant thoughts.

Inside the city, Marlon's headquarters.

"Lord Lord, someone from the City Lord's Mansion has come, saying that it is the City Lord of Feilun who invites you to come over."

"I see, you tell him, I'll go over by myself later."

"Yes!"

……

Castle Lord's Mansion.

"Marlon, how are you preparing, we decided to leave tonight!" As soon as she entered the study, Mammon asked.

Shaking his head, Malone didn't sit down, and replied directly: "I'm not going to leave." ”

"What?"

Ignoring the surprised eyes of several people, Malone continued: "I can't leave my subordinates to escape alone, if I want to leave, I will also take them with me." ”

"But......," said Wood, with some haste, "the passage is narrow, and it is impossible for the army to pass through." And once the news spreads, there will be chaos in the city, and even we won't be able to leave. ”

"So I'm not going to go through the secret passage, I'll find another way to leave!"

"This ......" several people looked at each other, all of them deeply surprised.

At the same time, I was also a little ashamed in my heart, when I was waiting for my life to escape, I never thought about my subordinates.

As long as you bring enough guards, as for the life and death of others, although it will make your heart uneasy, it will not stop the action to save your life.

"No......"

More than one person spoke.

Wood, Mammon, Nordington.

Several people glanced at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

I don't know why the other side is against it.

Wood is a pure soldier, he is loyal to the kingdom, in this crisis moment of orc invasion, Marlon is one of the few people who has fought a big battle, he doesn't want it to collapse here, it is the loss of the kingdom!

The same is true of Mammon, who, as a member of the royal family, has always wanted to reduce the power of the Blackstone Collar and solve the problem of its tail not being lost.
