Section 13
"Your Excellency?" Rena was startled, so quickly pressed into the army?
"What, you have questions?" Gray looked at Rena with a raised eyebrow, "You've been out of shape for the past two days, and if it's because of the previous conversation that made you like this, I can take my words back." ā
"I'm sorry, Lord Viscount... Iā" Rena's mind was confused, and she didn't know how to answer.
"I don't need to apologize, I don't need to explain, Baron, this is a serious matter, you know, it's a matter of life and death for my family. Gray glanced at the knights behind him and said in a low voice, his tone low and somewhat unpleasant.
Rena took a deep breath, "The goddess testifies, I will fulfill my duty, just..."
"So much for the best. Gray interrupted Rena's vow-like words, "Don't let those annoying things distract you, Baron, let's talk about this battle." ā
Gray looked at the orc army in the distance, "Our morale is high, we can fight, but now I am worried about whether the orcs will fight, their troops have been tossing and turning in the Byan Territory for so long, and they have been on the ship for a few days and nights, and now they have just landed and fought with us, which is somewhat uncomfortable, and our soldiers are full of energy, so if we fight a decisive battle now, our chances of victory are greater." ā
Orc Command...
When the earth shook and the human soldiers began to advance in their entirety, the Kham Overseer was discussing with his generals about retreating, and it was a last resort to rush into battle just now, now that he had stabilized his position, there was no reason to continue fighting, after all, his soldiers were very tired.
However, when they found out that the human army actually wanted a decisive battle, the young orc generals immediately put the retreat behind them and asked for battle.
Orcs are always like that, they are belligerent and impulsive.
"For the sake of the beast god, you shut your foul mouth for me!" the voice of the old general of Morinda overwhelmed everyone, "Did the insignificant victory ahead make you get carried away? The decisive battle? Do you want your warriors to die? This war is not a small fight with other tribes in the past, it is a matter of life and death for our entire orc clan!"
It can be seen that General Morinda is very prestigious in the army, and his words made everyone shut up, even if there are unconvinced, they dare not question it in person.
After that, the old general walked up to Kham and whispered: "The human hoplites are moving on our flanks, although there are shield warriors to cover, but if this threat is not eliminated, I think it is better not to fight with humans for the time being." ā
"I thought you were going to persuade me to fight the humans as well?" said Khamba, smiling at Morinda.
"I'm not stupid enough to be that point, but there's nothing wrong with keeping those young orcs competitive. Morinda glanced at the young generals who had just asked for battle.
"Well, then, let the old general deliver the order to retreat, and hopefully our goblin friends have already set up camp. Kham commanded, then turned his head and whispered to the priest next to him.
Morinda cursed 'Cunning Wolf of the Wasteland' and then turned his head and scolded, "Now, go back to your respective ranks, tell the soldiers to start retreating, and then, let the First Regiment take charge of the rear!"
The old general slapped the young orc on the head, who had just spoken the loudest, and muttered the order to retreat, as if an old father were playing with his children.
"Hey, the beast god is on top, old man Morinda, you can't even be old and don't even have the courage to fight, can the poor little body of a human make you run away in disgrace?" one of the orc generals grinned and sneered, although he was talking about Morinda General, but his eyes were fixed on their overseer, Khamba.
Obviously, the object of his mockery was not Morinda at all, but Khamba, who was already preparing to leave.
Morinda smiled, he knew the intentions of this young orc general, but at this time he had to maintain Khamba's authority, his scarlet eyes were fixed on the orc, "If you are suspicious of this, you can try it yourself when you return to the camp." ā
"That's a deal!" the young orc general was stunned, and his mouth subconsciously responded, the orcs were never afraid of duels, even if they knew they would lose.
But when he realized that his opponent was the old general Morinda, his face was flushed, and he wanted to retract what he had just said, but he couldn't afford to lose anyone.
When the surrounding orcs heard this, their eyes lit up, and they looked at the young orc with pity, screaming and screaming.
General Morinda kicked the ass of a nearby orc general, "Damn, give the order to the whole army first and retreat!"
A few minutes...
A crisp metal knock sounded on the banks of the Sushui River.
"This is a signal for the orcs to retreat. Rena was familiar with the voice, "They're retreating?"
As he spoke, the orc troops fighting in the center of the battlefield were under the command of their commander, leaving some warriors as cover, and most of the others began to move towards the headquarters in an orderly manner.
Knight Robert, who has a lot of combat experience, knows very well that this fighter is rare, and he wants to organize troops to pounce on it and entangle those orcs who want to retreat, but he must first deal with the group of orc warriors who are left behind.
It turns out that when a warrior sees death as home, they will be a terrible presence on the battlefield.
And Robert Knight really realized this at this moment.
With a disappointed look on his face, Gray said as if muttering, "That's a shame." ā
Rena squinted and said, "The orc commander is not stupid, they don't need to go toe-to-toe with us...", she said as she looked at the starry sky that was about to fade, "The longer it passes, the better it will be for them, don't forget, there are still 40,000 orcs in Byan City, and we... But I can't afford to wait!"
"Then do you think we should pursue?" Gray said in an inquiring tone, "After all, today's opportunity is very rare, and if we let the orcs retreat, we will be very passive in the decisive battle that follows." If I were the commander of the orcs, I would keep my troops in camp tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, or even for a long time afterward, until the main army arrived. ā
Rina stared at the orc army for a few seconds before saying, "We can have the cavalry troops search along the flanks of their retreat route, while our main force, maintain the current pace of advancement, and if there are fighters, then fight!"
Gray nodded, a smile on his face, clearly pleased with Rena's answer, and turned to the herald next to him and said, "Go and herald." ā
