Chapter 36: The First Battle III
Rom's cavalry group had been routed, most of them died under the breath of the blue dragon, and a few were lucky enough to escape, these cavalry numbered about fifty or sixty people, and the scattered cavalry no longer posed a threat to Locke, and these frightened cavalry now wanted to escape Locke's pursuit as fast as possible, like a drowning man trying to grasp the straw on the surface of the lake.
Dawn had come, Locke was silent, he raised his hand, and slowly gave the order: "Bring all the wounded captives back to the Elemental Throne." ”
The trolls nodded, snapping down the wailing human soldiers on the ground and following Locke out of the plain. Only brilliant piles of ice remained.
…………
The war ended so quickly that he didn't even have time to make Curran react, and he expected that after Locke's army had been harvested by Rûm's cavalry group, he would take advantage of the situation to take advantage of it. However, Locke not only counterattacked the cavalry group of Riptide Castle, but even a blue dragon destroyed the defeated cavalry.
In the morning light, Kuran, dressed in black robes, was silent, like a pile of dark stones, allowing sweat to leave from his forehead and cheeks, unaware.
"Failed?"
"But Fort Riptide's army hasn't been defeated yet."
"There is still a chance to win, even if the trolls help Princess Laurina, it is absolutely impossible to defeat the legions of Riptide Castle."
He looked at the sun not far away, and the light of the newborn sun was very faint, shining on his black robe. Fort Riptide not only has a large legion, but it also has his secret weapon.
…………
At the beginning of the morning, the Elemental Throne ushered in the first light of the dawn, and not so long ago, it was just a messy stone block, but now it is the home of ogres.
It was also Locke who named the place the Elemental Throne.
The ogres were grateful for what Locke had done for them, and although it was forbidden to eat humans, the trolls would send high-quality pork, beef and mutton every once in a while. This made many ogres happy, in the past, they could eat meat for a long time, and they were able to eat meat in one meal.
In the sunlight, a troll led Laurena's army into the ogre's station, causing the ogres to make a loud noise.
"Behold, it is a human being."
"Oh, and the trolls, how did these little ones come together."
In an instant, a forest troll walked out of the troops, dressed in light armor, with strange tattoos on his arms, and the right side of his face was obviously broken.
"According to the orders of our Zurkin, you must lead the whole clan of ogres and be ready to fight at all times." The voice of the forest troll echoed through the Elemental Throne, slightly surprising to many ogres, who knew the troll, the forest troll who had been calling the shots to them and was in control of the lord of the Stoneken Hall.
This is also what Locke meant, gather all the ogres together, let the ogres govern, there is a high probability that there will be chaos, in order to ensure stability, Locke let the forest trolls govern some ogres, and let the Elemental Throne part of the ogres be sent to live in the Hall of Stonefist.
Laurena looked at the ogre who acted in a panic, and was stunned for a while, the ogre did not take the initiative to attack her soldiers, and even obeyed the command of the forest troll, which surprised her.
Soon, the ogres gathered. The forest troll's face had a satisfied look on his face.
"It's good that our army has finally come together."
"The next thing is to wait for the return of the master."
Locke glanced back at the captives, there were about thirty or so people, these people were all excellent cavalry, which was also the cavalry seed of the future kingdom. He smiled, and a force was established under his leadership.
The Elemental Throne was soon there, the hideous skeletons neatly arranged around the basin, looking from the outside in, the irregular houses made of earth and wood inside, a breeze blew, and the rags that hung around the houses swayed in the wind.
In ogre custom, placing a cauldron near the settlement is a very important thing, but interestingly, in the vicinity of the Elemental Throne, the ogres do not place their cauldrons, so they do not smell of stinking.
Locke drove his horse into the Elemental Throne, and the ogre's custom was hard to change, even if they were forbidden to put the iron pot in the wild, they would put the iron pot in the house. Locke snapped his fingers, and an ogre immediately ran out of the house.
"King, you're back."
Locke smiled slightly, ogres and trolls are races that are easy to control, ogres have no centripetal force due to the destruction of the empire, so even orcs can be their kings, let alone humans like Locke.
"Let me meet Her Royal Highness Princess Laurena and take me there." Locke jumped down from the horse, patted the horse on his side, and said, "In addition, I have some slaves on my side, so let someone take good care of me." ”
"Yes," the ogre said respectfully.
By the time Locke approached the hall, the discussion inside had become white-hot. But when Locke walked in, the quarrel in the room stopped abruptly, and Laurena looked at Locke and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The trolls, ogres, and humans in the room all looked at Locke, who had just walked into the hall.
The flames from the brazier lit up the spacious house, which was inhabited by trolls, ogres, and humans, and it was hard to imagine that anyone would be able to bring these races together, let alone that these creatures were seriously discussing things.
"What were you arguing about?" Locke asked calmly.
Batu, the ogre wizard who was on the side, walked over and said respectfully, "King, we were discussing plans to attack Riptide Fort just now. ”
Locke looked at the ogre wizard in front of him with appreciative eyes, he was the heir of the ogre arcane empire, and he also had a certain arcane talent, during this time, Locke also came up with the idea of letting Batu form an army of ogre wizards.
"Batu, have you done what I asked you to do?" Locke walked to the middle of the hall, looked at the map made of sheepskin on the table, picked up the dagger in his hand, and quietly placed it on Riptide Castle.
Batu said slowly, "Your Highness the King, I have successfully trained 50 ogre warriors, but in the face of the thousands of troops in Riptide Castle, I don't think we are their opponents. ”
Click.
The dagger landed on the map on the table, nailed to Riptide Castle fiercely.
