Chapter 70: A Difficult Retreat

Dineen slowly calmed down.

If the death is only a few dozen people buried here, it is not very tragic, then the reason why the guard post was breached and the people went to the empty building is most likely that at the critical moment, Meysena ordered a retreat.

Mei Isena let herself go to the dark abyss to fetch the moon stone, just to predict the difficulty of this battle, with her caution, she should have been ready to organize a retreat once she could not resist.

Having Kenneth descend from the cliff behind him may have been a rehearsal for a retreat.

Dineh, who had calmed down, became clear in his thoughts, slowly recalling some details that he hadn't noticed before.

The Maysena outpost was besieged by the orcs, not by surprise, but with plenty of time to prepare for battle, Dinein remembered that Maysena had said that she had sent someone to ask for reinforcements, but the possibility of receiving support was not great, as a qualified commander, it was impossible not to be ready for defeat and retreat.

Dineng is a bit of a pity, looking at the appearance of the green smoke and flames of the various buildings, the time when it was breached was about yesterday, if he could have returned a few days earlier, with the explosive arrow in hand, maybe the war would have been another result.

Walking to the cliff of the back mountain, I saw some obvious traces of friction on some protruding stones, which were the strangulation marks of the rope, and some broken ropes were also found on the trunks of the surrounding trees.

Dinen finally determined that the people on the sentry were retreating in an orderly manner, so there were only two ways for them to retreat, one was the Black Coast, and the other was Astrana, and in the case of pursuing troops behind, it was most likely to choose the nearest Astrana.

Nana's injuries don't know how he's recovered, and she doesn't know if she will be left behind on the way out.

"Let you be strong! I would have asked you to go back a long time ago, and I wouldn't listen! Di Ning's heart didn't know how many times he scolded the little demon king, when the army retreated, no one could take care of anyone, and those who fell behind could only wait to be captured or killed.

Nana, who was being scolded, was struggling to help several soldiers move a large tree to the middle of the road, in order to hinder the speed of the orc soldiers chasing behind, because of the force that pulled the old wound, couldn't help coughing, and hurriedly touched his chest with his right hand.

"Nana, I don't need your help." A bearded uncle persuaded.

This person's name is Yuraiya, and he is a warrior, and after retreating from the guard post yesterday, he doesn't know how many times he helped Nana along the way, otherwise, he was afraid that Nana would have been unable to keep up with the team a long time ago.

Nana wiped her lips and said arrogantly, "Uncle Yuraiya, I'm fine." After speaking, he grasped a branch and pulled hard.

It had been two days, but there were too many wounded soldiers, which seriously affected the pace of the advance, and it is said that after two days, only half of the journey to Astrana was taken.

After all, Nana is young and resilient, and after a few days of treatment, she has basically recovered, at least she walks without hindrance, and she is competitive and does not want to stay in the team of the seriously injured, but helps cut down the trees on both sides of the road and set up roadblocks in the second echelon.

The soldiers who moved freely were divided into two groups to snipe and interfere with the pursuing orcs, but since this morning, wounded soldiers have been sent forward from the rear, and it is said that the orc brigade has finally caught up, and Lord Meisena himself went to the battlefield and led the soldiers to fight and retreat.

Yuraiya saw Nana coming over to help again, and persuaded again: "Nana, pay attention, your injuries are not completely healed, pay attention to maintaining your strength." ”

This kid is well-behaved and sensible, endearing, but a little strong, no matter how much he can't persuade him, the orcs are chasing more and more, and they are getting closer and closer, and there are still two days to go, it will be more difficult, and it is very necessary to maintain physical strength.

"Uncle Yuraia, it's really fine, my brother-in-law will come to help me soon."

"Okay, okay, I know, your brother-in-law is coming soon."

Yuraia heard Nana say that her brother-in-law didn't know how many times, but after a few days, there was no one to be seen.

Meisena gently touched the shoulder of one of the soldiers beside him with her left hand, and a white light flashed to stop the bleeding, and the priest's assistant hurriedly bandaged the wound.

This is a warrior, and his injuries mean that he has been infiltrated by orc soldiers, and the situation is getting more and more critical.

"Your Excellency, take a break." The assistant saw that Mayisena was tired, and he persuaded worriedly.

Since the beginning of the war, Meisena has not had a good rest, and for two days after retreating from the sentry, she has been running almost sleeplessly on the battlefield, encouraging the morale of the soldiers and treating the wounded.

"No, you don't." Meysena forced a smile, closed her eyes for a moment, lifted her spirits, and walked towards the next wounded.

Six more wounded were added.

Meysena silently counted the number of wounded, worried. Now it is less than half of the journey, a quarter of the soldiers have been wounded, and in the face of the overstretched strength, the lightly injured soldiers are gritting their teeth and persevering, but in the face of more and more orcs, the next two days will be more and more difficult.

Reinforcements!

Maysena glanced into the surrounding forest, as if hoping for a reinforcement to descend from the sky, but she knew that this was an extravagant hope, and Astrana was also in the midst of fierce fighting, and there was news that there were signs of force movement on the Black Sea, but the far water could not save the near fire.

Thinking of the reinforcements, the figure of the five Dinin people appeared in Mei Yisena's mind, and she couldn't help but murmur: "I don't know when they will be able to return to the team." ”

If they can bring the moon stone back and make an explosive arrow, it will be much easier to deal with the pursuers, and it will definitely be no problem to retreat safely, even if they don't get the moon stone, adding five new forces will also play a very important role in the later battles, especially Dining, a sharpshooter in the field guerrilla warfare, the role played is immeasurable.

"Withdraw!" After treating the last wounded, Meisena ordered the soldiers to retreat.

Her current position was the last of the entire retreating group, and behind them, another team was already on standby, ready to meet and stop the orcs from pursuing.

Along the way, the tactics adopted by Maisena were simple but effective, the soldiers behind the palace were divided into two teams, alternating in an orderly manner, fighting and retreating, constantly sniping and disrupting, so that the wounded soldiers who took the first step had enough time to retreat, and even placed obstacles on the road to curb the rapid advance of the orcs.

Garrosh looked at the crooked trees on the road, his face was gloomy, these damn elves, these damn elves have been using this method to contain the pursuers for the past two days.

Garrosh waved his hand angrily and shouted angrily: "Move away, move away!" ”

The obstacles on the road prevent the passage of the soldiers, and the problem is that the lightly armed soldiers are not sure of victory against the elves who are waiting for the battle.
