Chapter 625: What the Battle Banner Refers To
If you stand on high enough ground and look down on the entire battlefield, you will find that the situation that originally appeared one-sided has undergone a great reversal. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
With the collapse of the fortress and the complete rout of the Stormwind Legion, Marquis Campbell and General Emmer had no way to gather their defeated men.
And the orc army also lost the meaning of staying here because of this defeat, and they also chose to withdraw from the battlefield, which should have been a victory for the elven army.
But with the arrival of that banner, all the conditions became very different, first the orc army formed a battle formation in a very short time.
The sight of them turning their guns and charging at the elven army at the same time was so shocking that even the soldiers who were only concerned about fleeing for their lives were stunned.
The soldiers of the Storm Legion had never seen an orc appear so serious, and weren't they all lazy and greedy?
"That's ...... Is the Far Eastern Army coming to the back? No, the main force of the Far Eastern Army should be moving south. ”
Ai Mo'er looked suspicious, although she was in the Stormwind Fortress, she was still clear about the situation within the empire, and knew that there was a civil war.
It's just that their Storm Family has guarded the Storm Fortress for generations, and their main duty is to guard the frontier, and they will not participate in the civil strife of the empire.
In fact, two years ago, the Stormwind Legion received a secret letter from the royal capital, asking them to go south to participate in the civil war, and the letter promised a heavy reward.
But the Storm Legion solemnly refused this, and more than a month ago, they received a letter from Rhaegar himself, in which Rhaegar asked them to let the Elven Army go south, because the Elven Army was invited by Rhaegar to deal with the Far Eastern Army and the Rose Army, and at that time he almost had a premonition that something would happen to the Border Army.
However, the father and daughter, Marquis Campbell and General Emmer, once again refused to accept this, and they could not allow this to happen.
Whoever becomes emperor is tasked with guarding Stormwind Fortress, which is consistent with Griffon's Fortress, but more open-minded.
"The main force of the Far Eastern Army has already moved south, and it is simply impossible for them to come to the Storm Fortress in such a short time, all that can be done is that a small group of light cavalry moves at high speed after frequent horse changes, and that flag is obviously the main flag of the Far Eastern Army, which is clearly different from other battle flags. ”
Marquis Campbell looked at the military flags clustered in the center of the orc legion, and saw at a glance that he was a veteran of the battlefield after all.
"It's that guy, I knew at a glance that he was definitely here, otherwise the orcs wouldn't be so desperate, let's take action immediately!"
Rhodes looked excited, although he was not good at military affairs, but at this time he was also infected by this atmosphere, and his blood was surging, and he was filled with righteous indignation.
"It is true that only Duke Lin Ye himself has such a appeal to be able to make the orcs so fanatical, but isn't he supposed to be presiding over the war in the south now? how can he appear in Storm Fortress? Could it be that the king has already fallen? How can it be so fast? And even if it is really like this......
"The military flag is still the battle flag of the Far East, and it is not inlaid with gold edges, that is, it has not been upgraded to the royal flag, it is not Duke Lin Ye who ascended the throne, is it His Royal Highness Leighton? Or is it His Royal Highness Rennes? This is really confusing, what happened to the royal capital, and what is the current pattern?"
The news from the royal capital has not yet reached the Storm Fortress, which makes Marquis Campbell simply confused and full of suspicions.
"Father, now is not the time to worry about those things, the orc army has already made direct contact with the elven army, we can't sit idly by here, and you see, the defeated soldiers have slowed down, now is the time to gather them!"
Ai Mo'er pointed to the collision between the orc army and the elven army in the distance with a happy expression, and looked at it from her angle, the two sides were roughly evenly matched.
There is no such thing as an impact that will be swept away, and it is obvious that the Orc Army is much stronger than the Storm Legion.
This can be seen from the equipment of both sides, the orcs are originally much stronger than ordinary humans, and according to different tribes and races.
Orcs also have different characteristics, for example, the orcs of the War Bear tribe have bear-like strength, and each of them can be ten with one.
And the orcs of the armored rhino tribe are outrageously thick-skinned, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are invulnerable, and their individual combat strength is outstanding.
At this time, it was equipped with a formation for group combat, and the body was covered with tailor-made hard armor, which was simply like a tiger with wings.
The soldiers of the Storm Legion also saw this scene, and they slowed down their flight, and gradually there was a tendency to gather in a group, looking at each other.
"The fortress has become like this, but these orcs are starting a full-scale conflict with the elven army, which is known as the strongest army in the continent, from the front?"
"It's incredible, when the fortress was still there, I didn't see those orcs help, and now that the fortress has completely fallen, it has become so desperate. ”
"No, as long as the enemy hasn't come in, the fortress hasn't fallen yet, it's only our faith that has fallen, it's really shameful!"
The soldiers looked at the orcs who fought bravely, and then at themselves who had fled in the wilderness, and they were all ashamed, why did they run away.
"Brothers, let's all go back, this is our own homeland, even the orcs are fighting bravely there, how can we escape?"
"That's right, after defeating the elven army, will we go back and tell our parents, wives and children that it was the orcs who protected our homeland?"
"Think about how those orcs look down on us in normal times, if we don't fight a little more, we won't be able to raise our heads!"
After a brief moment of thought, the soldiers soon came forward and offered to return to the battlefield again, and they could not run away like this.
"Look, it's the banner of our Stormwind Legion over there, Marquis Campbell is there to gather troops, and a lot of people are moving in that direction!"
"We are warriors guarding the frontier, how can we give up our faith so easily, I am really ashamed of my actions. ”
"Hurry back, we can still fight, what the military flag points to is where my soul returns, there are only heroic souls who died in battle, and there are no defeated deserters!"
After the soldiers saw the storm banner and exchanged glances with each other, their blank expressions gradually turned into resolute determination.
They quickly rallied towards the position of the battle flag, and the rout just now was their shame, and they were disgraced by it.
And there is only one way to wash away the shame, to cast that scar with blood, either your own blood or the blood of your enemies!
The battle flag is blowing in the wind, and the battle will not retreat!
