It was already deep in the night, and the lights were still bright in the tent of the human army, and all the high-ranking generals of the human race had gathered here. Dressed in black magic robes, Eren walked around the center of the tent, while the others sat at the table silently, but everyone's eyes looked at the tent door from time to time, as if waiting for someone to appear.

"Stanny, how long have they been going?"

Alan stopped, his eyes still fixed on the door.

"About two hours. ”

It was Bernard who answered,

"Supposedly I should be back. ”

Alan was a little anxious.

"It should be soon!"

Bernard is also anxious, but after all, he is a battle-hardened veteran, so he has to be more calm.

"What if Nag Rush doesn't get the shot?"

Alan asked Bernard.

"Then we will increase the intensity of the attack on the city wall tomorrow, and we must force him to be hit. ”

Bernard replied by tapping the battle map on the table.

"Let's hope we don't get to this point, or we're going to have to make even more sacrifices. ”

Alan shook his head and sighed. Since yesterday, the human coalition has increased the intensity of the siege, and the soldiers of more than a dozen wings have taken turns to beat the strong walls of Valen Pass like waves, and the number of casualties has risen rapidly. In just one day, 1,000 soldiers were killed and more than 3,000 wounded, and if this trend continues, most of the soldiers who want to take down the entire coalition army at Valen Pass may be exhausted.

"Bang..."

Just as the two people were talking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the tent, followed by the curtain being lifted from the outside, accompanied by the cold wind of early winter, two people walked in from the outside, to be precise, a human and an elf, the human being was Eren and the Stani they were waiting for, and the elf was Sergei.

"How?"

Everyone stood up.

"The orcs acted. ”

Stanny wiped the hoarfrost from his eyelashes and said excitedly.

"Confirmed?"

Allen's eyes looked at Sergei.

"Confirmed. The orc soldiers are taking advantage of the darkness of the night to clean up the barracks, and are expected to withdraw from Valen Pass early tomorrow morning. ”

Sergei nodded, and he rode a dragon in the air, accompanied by Stanny, to monitor Valenguan for more than two hours, until he confirmed that the orcs were indeed preparing for a full retreat.

"Great!"

The generals who heard the news high-fived each other, and it was this news that they had been waiting for here late at night. This was a strategic goal that had been set at the very beginning of the Battle of Valen, and they had made great preparations to achieve it. They took advantage of Nag Rush's weakness of not knowing the delicate relationship between the Yus Empire and the ancient city-state of Oku, and deliberately created the illusion that the humans were trying to encircle and annihilate the orcs of Valenpass, but they knew that if the orcs did not retreat, their strength would be exhausted in the siege of Valenpass, and then they would only benefit the current Yus court.

Therefore, when formulating tactics and strategies at the beginning of the battle, Allen asked to force the orcs to withdraw as much as possible, and the staff committee led by Bernard also planned according to this goal. In fact, there are only 100,000 combat troops under Allen's command, in order to create the illusion of overwhelming superiority over the orcs, Bernard arranged for a part of the men and horses in charge of logistics to drive to the city every day to camp under the city and leave quietly at night, and so on for three days, it seems that the total strength of the human coalition army has reached more than 200,000. Of course, the most important part of the whole tactic is how to cut off the supply line of the orcs, otherwise even if the human forces are superior, the orcs can also be enhanced through supply, not to mention the protection of the wall of Valen, the advantage of the force cannot be played in a short period of time, and at this time, the decisive role of the magician is highlighted, without the magician team led by Elvis, the human race will not be able to destroy the ferry and pontoon bridge, nor can it replenish the cavalry wing responsible for harassing the orc supply line on the other side, and it will not be able to completely disintegrate the will of the orcs to stick to the Valen Pass。

Now that the orcs have been tricked, the next thing for the human coalition to do is how to gnaw a piece of meat off the fleeing beast. That night, the Great Tent of the Human Army was lit up all night, and General Bernard led the staff team to formulate tactics one by one, which were signed by Allen and became the commander of the orders sent to all armies overnight.

When the eastern sky spit out the first rays of dawn, the northern gate of Valen Pass quietly opened, and a group of orcs left the level and headed for the ferry. The defenders of the ferry, who had been prepared, immediately sent the orcs to the opposite bank by boat, but the first batch of two thousand and a half orcs had just landed on the opposite bank, and were immediately killed by the human cavalry that had been hiding in the nearby woods, and when the second group of minotaur reinforcements arrived, the human cavalry had already flown away, leaving only corpses and wounded everywhere, but they could not care about pursuing the human cavalry, so they could only form a defensive formation on the spot to protect the army that crossed the river later.

When the orcs hurried to cross the river, the human armies on the east and west sides of the south bank also accelerated their march in the direction of the ferry, but this time the orcs were already prepared, and each sent two wings to stop the two outflanked human armies, and the human army did not seem to be ready to break through, but just maintained a state of confrontation, pinning down the four orc wings and not daring to retreat at all.

At the same time, the main human force poured out to attack the southern wall of Valen Pass. In order to buy enough time for the main force to cross the river, the 10,000 death squads left behind by Nag Rush chanted the slogan "Hulamur" and blocked the crazy attacks of humans with their flesh and blood again and again, and the fierce fighting lasted for two days. On the third day, when the human magicians and archers had completely crushed the orcs under the battlements and could not lift their heads, Eren took cover to the city gate and destroyed the city gate with fire blast magic, and the humans killed the city. The fierce fighting moved from the city to the level, and the remaining 5,000 orcs fought and retreated with the help of the cover of the buildings in the level, and every inch of land in the level was stained red with blood. The battle continued into the night, and the light magic flew all over the sky to illuminate Valen Pass as if it were day, until the last of the stubborn orc squad hiding in the warehouse was destroyed by Miranda with magic.

In the early morning of the fourth day, before dawn, the main human force had already killed the ferry, but it was too late, the main force of the orcs had all withdrawn to the north shore that night, and only four wings were left responsible for blocking the humans.

Four orc wings gathered, and an orc general came to the front of the battle to meet the human commander, on the condition that the whole army surrendered if they lost, and let them cross the river if they won. But before anyone in the human queue could respond, a huge bat-shaped black shadow had fallen from the sky.

With the orc commander slain by Stanny and more than 8,000 orcs surrendering, the Battle of Valen ended in a resounding victory for the humans.

The Battle of Valen lasted nearly twenty days, and the commander-in-chief Allen led the human coalition army not only successfully recaptured the Valen defense line from the orcs, avoiding human society from being trampled by the orcs' iron hooves, but also annihilated more than 40,000 enemies, plus the 30,000 orc army eliminated in the defense of Capra Pass a month ago, the total number of enemies destroyed was as high as 80,000, which was the greatest victory of mankind against the orcs in three hundred years. The battle dealt a heavy blow to the orcs, so much so that the devastated orcs would not be able to launch a large-scale military operation against the humans again in the short term.

The results of the Battle of Capra Pass and the Battle of Valen soon spread across the continent and shocked the world. Thanks to the Kossac's outstanding performance in the two battles, the major powers are acutely aware that the Gossac, who have borne the humiliation of three hundred years, is rising again under the leadership of a magician named Alan Kanter, and no one can predict how his rise will change the continent.
