Battle 545 Sauron's Choice

"On the 21st of May, they raided the outlying camp of the orcs, killing one hundred and seventy and wounding three hundred. The physical strength of the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion team www.biquge.info was severely reduced, and they were unable to make the third charge, and seven people were injured, mainly due to physical fitness..."

In the humble camp, Sodrore quickly wrote down the battle notes for the early hours of this morning with the quill pen he carried, and then put away the letter, and when he got up, all the cavalry around him had already "snapped" and stood upright, hundreds of people stood still in the cold wind of the early morning, if it were not for the occasional neighing of war horses, I am afraid that people would think that time was frozen here.

Sodrore was accustomed to this, he took a few steps, walked to a stone platform slightly above the ground, and nodded: "Take a break." ”

The collectively straightened knights relaxed slightly, but remained silent.

"Seven raids were successful, our main mission has been completed, and now ... Pack up your things and return to Elson with all the staff. Disbanded, the camp was pulled out and set off within twenty minutes. ”

"Yes, sir!"

The sound of the answer was uniform, and then there were bursts of cheers - both the recruits and the veterans, who had tensed their nerves during the seven-day battle, were now finally ready to return to the main city, and everyone shouted with joy.

Of course, what they were happiest about was the astonishing record of killing more than 3,000 orcs, compared to the terrible battle loss of no more than 10 of their own.

At this time, they were in the forest outside Elson, and after sneaking up on the orcs who had caught up last night, Sodrore had successfully completed the strategic goal proposed by Titus. And in these days of fighting, every soldier has deeply experienced what it is like to fight with a good general.

In a raid in the dark, the team never got lost, and was never detected by the enemy in advance.

The soldiers who rotated to fight never showed a large-scale physical exhaustion, as if Sodrore accurately grasped the state of each squad, allowing them to exert maximum lethality in several battles.

The logistics supply line cleverly bypassed the enemy's reconnaissance, and the orc wolf cavalry took the initiative to harass more than ten times, all of which were predicted and easily avoided by Sodrore...

Judging the situation on the battlefield from the scout's intelligence and leading his soldiers to deal with the enemy in various ways, Sodrol is like a nimble dancer on the battlefield, completely incorporating the enemy into his own rhythm.

The most exaggerated time was when he led a combat force of 400 people through the gap between two orc troops of more than 1,000 people, which not only made the surrounding orcs pounce, but also killed the horse pistol when the other party was tired, and killed a whole wolf cavalry force on the spot!

Although the orcs surrounded the army of more than 18,000 in total, Sodrore accurately used various terrain to continuously defeat the orcs with local advantages, and finally retreated - this kind of battle may have been accidental once or twice, but after seven or eight times in a row, everyone was completely convinced.

Even the soldiers who had started out as scouts with Sodrol realized... This former squad leader is definitely a battlefield genius!

And the most important thing is that Sodrore is not greedy for merit and does not have any luck mentality. After the team entered a period of fatigue, they chose to retreat, allowing everyone to return to Elson City safely.

However, just when Sodrol thought that Elson City should be on guard, shrinking their defenses and preparing to meet the enemy. He found that the surrounding fields were flourishing with seedlings, and the farmers seemed to turn a deaf ear to the war. Through the open city gates, he could even see the neatly planned shopping streets and the moving transport ships inside...

What caught them even more off guard was the huge welcoming procession at Elson City.

As soon as they entered the city gate, the cheering crowd gathered around, and the tired soldiers did not expect to encounter such a triumphant treatment, and they smiled one by one - flowers scattered all over the sky fell, and even beautiful girls boldly went up to offer flowers to the knights...

"Well done!"

"Kill all those mongrel orcs!"

"You are the glory of Evta!"

Whether it is a dragon lance knight, a barbarian who has been trained as a mercenary, or a recruit who has just joined the army, they are all full of pride and pride at such a grand and lively welcome ceremony, and some people even moisten their eyes with excitement.

And after they walked into the barracks, the oncoming instructors Luger and Carter announced the news of collective incentive allowances and military salaries:

"Hey, you guys, don't just take the money and run to the third district!"

Carter laughed and welcomed the soldiers into the barracks, followed by the logistics troops who were entering the city one after another, he really had a lot to do today, and he had to take into account the arrangements of thousands of people, but the veterans he was familiar with all went up to say hello.

Ruger, as an instructor in Elson City, also came up to salute Sodrore, at this time Sodrore was not as serious as in the war, and joked with a smile: "You should really lead the team to go up and kill a batch, the batch of recruits I brought are very slow to use, and they know how to rush blindly when they go to the battlefield." ”

"Are you complaining or showing off? Can you break through the encirclement of more than 10,000 orcs?"

Ruger came up and hammered each other's shoulders with Sodrore, and then talked about business: "Lord Camilla is ready to meet the enemy, what you have to do is to eat, drink and have fun in the city, and have a good rest for fifteen days, is it enough?"

"Well, Ruger, it's not that I doubt your strength," Sodrol was full of question marks after entering the city, and he pointed to the city gate in the distance: "Are you going to take the enemy to the city?"

When Sodrore left Elson City, there was no magic building activated here, and at that time, even the Floating Tower was not activated, and with his current understanding of Elson City, he was still stuck in the original time when he and Roddy dealt with the "Frost Baron" Belom.

"Don't worry about this, Master Camilla is responsible for everything. You hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes, and you have to come out to talk at dinner. ”

"Well, don't fool me. When I saw that group of farmers were still farming, I felt that I didn't know the bottom of my heart, what kind of war was this..."

Sodrol muttered, but was ridiculed by Ruger: "Haha, when the enemy enters this forest, it is no longer a war. ”

Orc Blue felt exhausted.

The mighty orc army had been fighting on the realm of Evta for more than half a month, but until now, the scenes they had imagined had never appeared.

Before the war, the Overseers had made many beautiful visions—endless food, weak human beings, warm shelters, and countless fertile lands...

What Blue saw now were cities that could never be attacked, humans who would always hide on the walls to shoot arrows, and food that was getting worse and worse.

"Damn, why are you shitch so slow? Hurry up! Delay the siege, don't blame me for cutting off your heads for the Racol Overseers!"

The whip snapped and left a bloody mark on Blue's shoulder. The pain made Blue grin, but he didn't dare to roar, because there were many companions around him who were whipped like this, and everyone knew what would happen if they resisted or even spoke back.

Since the integration of the clans, Racol, who does not know how to manage his subordinates, still maintains a way of ruling with eyebrows and mustaches, which has led to the contradictions between the different clans within the country has never been reduced - and with the division of classes, the members of the clan who used to dislike each other will retaliate without scruples, and it is common to be injured and killed, and there is no time to reason.

"I've had enough of this place, and when we came out of the grassland, are we here to die?"

The companion next to him complained in a low voice while burying his head forward, and Blue hurriedly pushed him: "If you say this quietly, they will definitely beat you hard if they hear it!"

The companion was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that there was something wrong with what he had just said, and quickly closed his mouth and stopped speaking, but after a while, he complained again as if he couldn't stop being idle: "How strong is that human army, and why haven't we heard of any tribe's warriors defeating them until now?"

"I haven't heard of it either, but... There will definitely be. ”

Blue's words were full of self-deception, in fact, all the orcs were now clouded in their hearts - if they still had the confidence of "invincible in land battle" before, then the successive blows they had suffered in the past few days had made the orcs no longer proud of it.

At some point, an indescribable fear spread in the ranks: at night, countless orcs would be awakened by the slightest noise, fearing that the terrible iron cavalry would directly level their camp...

Blue is about to have a nervous breakdown from this fear, but his bigger problem right now is hunger... When he entered the forest and saw the occasional hare running away, Blue and all the orcs around him were refreshed.

"Hey, Blue, maybe I can get some more meat for dinner today!"

Blue nodded knowingly: "When those guys go to a distant place, let's look for it, anyway, there are a lot of people when it's almost dark, and no one can take care of us..."

At this time, the whole time was indeed facing a crisis of reduced logistical supplies. The frequent change of battle lines has made the food standards of the orcs worse and worse, and now they can't even guarantee two meals a day, and the non-wolf cavalry troops can only rely on their own ways to eat enough.

But Blue, who was fantasizing about going out to catch a hare, did not succeed in the end. The captain of the squad in charge of monitoring them came over with a whip to drive them away, and actually sent a message to make most of the people start cutting wood and prepare to build siege ladders...

"Master Racol said that we must build more than 100 ladders in this battle! We will definitely succeed in taking this city! As long as we enter the city, everything we can take is our own!"

"Build all the ladders in five days! Do you hear that!? If you can't finish it, watch your head!"

In the midst of this noise, Blue sighed as he picked up his axe and walked with his companion to the nearby woods - it was clear that it would be a sleepless night.

"I hope it's like the Overseer said," Blue sighed, swinging his axe and cutting down the giant tree in front of him, "but it seems like Grand Chief Sauron is also besieging the city?"

"Who knows, maybe he doesn't even know which city to attack. The Overseer of Racol said that the Great Chief of Sauron was indecisive and simply not fit to sit in that position..."

"Yes? I've heard..."

None of your words knew what Sauron was doing—not surprising, because even a few Overseers couldn't have imagined the astonishing choice Sauron had made.

The Great Chief chose to go deep alone. (To be continued.) )
