Chapter 442: Flanking Attack
In the autumn of the 328th year of the continental calendar, taking advantage of the excellent opportunity of the civil strife in Yus, the orc army marched south.
In order to win the war against the humans, the orcs made a careful plan to march, this time they divided into two routes, the first legion led by the second warrior of the orcs, Drakebar, from the Alex prairie all the way west to Capra Pass. The second legion, led by the first warrior of the orcs, Nagrush, set out from Hulamur Pass and headed south to the peak of the army and reached Valun Pass. At the same time, in order to ensure that the Valen Pass could be captured in one fell swoop, even the orc high priest Hosamuen, who rarely left the orc territory, also sent troops with him.
According to the plan, the First Route Army was to reach Capra Pass first, and by the time the Second Route Army arrived at Valen Pass, the First Route Army should have already captured Capra Pass. Because the orcs had received information that the defense of Capra Pass had been replaced by a new army of nomadic boys from the Northern Legion of Yus, their plan was that capturing Capra Pass should be easy. After taking Capra Pass, the First Route Army will continue to move south to Nice City to seize the logistics supply base of the Northern Army, and at the same time cut off the retreat of the defenders of Valen Pass, and the Second Route Army to flank the Northern Army from the north and south, completely eliminating this human army that has blocked them for hundreds of years.
But when the second army led by the first warrior of the orcs, Nagrosh, and the high priest Hosamunn, were still ten days away from Valun Pass, they suddenly received two pieces of information, one good and one sad. Happily, they learned that the garrison of Valen Pass had changed hands, and that the commander had been replaced by Bernard and Moros. Although General Moros also has many years of military experience, he cannot be compared with the Northern Rock in terms of military quality or actual combat experience, and I heard that Bernard has been recognized as a rebel by the Yuss court, this news will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the soldiers of the Northern Legion who have been following him for many years, resulting in an overall decline in the morale of the Northern Legion, and the Valen Pass will no longer be an insurmountable level. However, there is also bad news, according to reliable information, the power of the ancient city state of Otoku has changed hands to a magician named Alan Kanter, and even the Youth League guarding Capra Pass is also created by him, the Youth League may not be a threat to the newly established legion, but the information about Alan Kanter, a magician, shows that he is currently the most powerful magician on the continent, especially his achievements in the magic array, which will undoubtedly pose a serious threat to the orc army attacking Capra Pass.
In view of this change in form, the Second Orc Legion held an emergency meeting, and the First Warrior Nagrosh and the High Priest Hosamuen made a decision after consultation, and the Second Legion divided its troops into a route led by the High Priest Hosamuen to rush to the aid of the First Legion to ensure that the First Legion could successfully achieve the goals set before the war, and quickly went south to capture the city of Nice after conquering the Capra Pass, so as to complete the encirclement and suppression of the Northern Legion, and the victory against Yus was established in the first battle.
Hosamuen led 10,000 men and horses all the way to Capra Pass, but he never dreamed that before he could reach Capra Pass, the Second Army would have suffered a crushing defeat.
"I expected that your operation might be frustrated, but I didn't expect you to lose so quickly and so badly that even Drakebal almost lost his life. Who injured Drake Bar so badly?"
Hearing that Drakebar was seriously injured, Hosamuen immediately ordered someone to prepare a boat to send him to the other side of the river to personally treat Drakebar, who was still in a coma, and he asked with a gloomy face.
Hosamuen could tell that Drakebar had lightning burns on his body. The damage of magic is easy to understand, after all, according to the intelligence, there should be one of the most powerful magicians in the human race in Capra Pass at this moment, but in fact, the scars that made Drake Bar fall unconscious came from the puncture wounds of several sharp weapons on his body, which made him very strange, it is said that there could be no such powerful swordsman in Capra Pass.
"Back to the High Priest, it's a dragon. ”
The lieutenant replied.
"Dragons?"
Hosamuen was a little surprised, he didn't understand how there was a dragon on the battlefield of Capra Pass, could it be that Gutsian was coming, but the lieutenant general described the process of the fierce battle that day in detail, and he understood that it was definitely not Gutsian, Gutsian's mount was a red dragon, and this time it was a golden dragon who participated in the battle, so he was even more strange, except for Gutsian, he had not heard of the existence of a second dragon knight in humans. Strange as it is, the fact is that the defenders of Capra Pass have been aided by dragons, making their next battle more uncertain.
"In the past few days of fighting, have you encountered a great magician of the human race?"
Hosamuen quickly put aside his speculation about the dragon and asked about another matter of his concern.
"There are quite a few magicians on the other side, but there is only one person at most who has reached the level of a great magician, and it is a young woman. ”
The lieutenant replied without thinking.
"Who is their commander?"
Hosamuen continued.
"I didn't see their commander, only a deputy commander named Stanny. ”
"Is Alan Kante not in the army at all?"
From the situation described by the lieutenant, Hosamuen quickly deduced that Alan was not in Capra Pass.
"It looks like we're going to take Capra as soon as possible. ”
"But what about that dragon?"
"Don't worry, I brought two bipedal wyverns with the army this time."
"Great!"
The bipedal wyvern in Hosamuen's mouth is a powerful creature that can fly in the polar swamps, and although the combat power of the two cannot deal with the dragon head-on, it is still possible to contain the dragon, so as soon as the lieutenant general heard that he had a bipedal wyvern to help him fight, he immediately swept away the haze of losing the previous battle.
"High Priest, a few deserters have been caught outside. ”
While Hosamuen was discussing the battle plan with his subordinates, a subordinate suddenly reported that a few werewolves who were embarrassed were escorted in.
"They weren't deserters, they were scouts we sent out earlier, mistakenly. ”
The adjutant recognized the true identities of several werewolves and hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
"What did you spot?"
Hosamuen waved his hand, motioning for his men to let go of a few werewolves, and then asked with a wrinkled nose.
"We found a trail that went around the south side of Capra Pass. ”
The werewolf, who was amnesty, quickly knelt down and thanked him, and reported the results of the reconnaissance.
"Good!"
After listening to the werewolf's report, Hosamoon's falcon-like eyes began to shine:
"Truk..."
The name of the adjutant general.
"I order you to lead a team of men and horses around the south side of the checkpoint, and we will take the Capra Pass in one fell swoop!"
"Yes!"
