Chapter 629: Half of the Country
This battle, which was supposed to be a complete victory for the elven army and a complete suppression of the storm fortress, ended in a panicked retreat on the part of the strong elven army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Such a result must be an out-and-out shame for the elven army's side, but for the Storm Legion's affairs, it is like a dream.
With the complete collapse of the fortress, they thought they were dead, and they were unaware of the consequences of the retreat as they were busy retreating.
But when the elven army completely retreated, after nightfall, did he realize that once the elven army was completely let in, the consequences would be extremely serious.
The entire Empire's defense line will be torn open, allowing the elven army and the steppe nomadic cavalry to drive straight into the hinterland.
This would be catastrophic for the Imperial lands of the Plains, and their parents and brothers would be wiped out, and there was no way to prepare for them.
And even if they can survive the battlefield by luck, they will become sinners of the nation, and they will spend the rest of their lives in shame.
"Thanks to the appearance of the Duke, we didn't get to that point, otherwise we would definitely regret such a catastrophic consequence!"
"Yes, just thinking about the consequences is terrifying, we are behind our relatives, how can we take a step back here?"
"Anyway, we've finally pushed the elves back, it's a great victory, and everyone must celebrate. β
"Allow me to toast the Duke with the first glass of wine, and the second to the orc brothers, who fought valiantly to defeat the elven army. β
"I'm really ashamed of the previous misunderstanding, I didn't expect the orc brothers to be so powerful that they could repel such a strong elven army!"
In the midst of the fire, the soldiers of the Stormwind Legion began to celebrate the victory in the battle, and many of them expressed their gratitude to the orcs.
After all, in this battle, the orc legion was the main force to fight the elven army head-on, and the cavalry of the Storm Legion was only cooperating on the flanks.
If they were to face another enemy at another time, perhaps the soldiers of the Stormwind Legion would still be reluctant to serve as the main force in the battle.
But at this moment, they only had gratitude left in their hearts, because this was a battle with no room for them, and they absolutely could not let the elven army break through the defensive line.
Behind them is fertile soil, a homeland, and defenseless brothers, and even if they shed their last drop of blood, they must not retreat!
"Hehe, isn't it just a group of elven troops from the far north, what can be so great, you can teach them to be human with an axe. β
"Boasting of becoming the strongest army in the continent, it turned out to be no different from a watermelon under my meteor hammer, and my head blossomed all of a sudden. β
"After resting for more than a month, I can finally let go of my hands and feet to fight, under the command of adults, no matter what kind of opponent has to beat him down!"
The orcs grinned in the light of the fire and happily ate the barbecue, and for more than a month they had suffered from the white eyes of the human army.
But now all the discrimination and blindness are gone, and they have earned the respect of the Stormwind Legionnaires with their active performance on the battlefield.
This greatly released the self-esteem and pride of the orc soldiers, isn't it just an elf army, this is just the beginning.
After this battle, the relationship between the soldiers of the Storm Legion and the orc soldiers eased a lot, and even young legionnaires came to talk to the orcs.
The atmosphere was harmonious, and everyone was full of confidence in the next battle, it turned out that the elven army was not as powerful and terrifying as they imagined.
Standing on top of the collapsed ruins of Stormwind Fortress, you can see a faint fire in the distance, where the elven army is stationed.
Lin Ye was accompanied by Rhodes and looked at the battlefield from a distance, although they successfully repelled the elven army, but the price paid was not cheap, more than five hundred soldiers of the Storm Legion were killed in the battle, and the wounded soldiers were close to a thousand, which was equivalent to the loss of a legion.
The orcs also paid the price of more than 300 sacrifices, and about 500 people were injured, which is about the same number as the elven army.
The number of elven soldiers killed was about five hundred, and the number of wounded soldiers was roughly the same, slightly more than the orcs.
But if combined with the number of casualties of the Storm Legion, in fact, the elven army still has the upper hand, if the elven army is dispatched in the daytime battle, it is bound to fight to the death with the orc army, and it is really difficult to say who wins and who loses in the end, but this kind of thing is impossible to happen.
After all, without knowing the details, any army commander will not make a hasty decision, he will find out the details, and he will choose a strategic decisive battle after he has enough preparations, otherwise even if they win the battle here in Storm Fortress, they will suffer heavy casualties and lose most of them.
Then then there is no ability to fight under the royal capital at all, this is the so-called winning the battle and losing the war, which is a meaningless thing.
The same problem also plagued Lin Ye, although he was now leading his army to fight the elven army in the Storm Fortress, but in the final analysis, the Far East was his base camp, and the empire was not his territory, so he had no reason to lose more than half of his strength for the empire, which was very uneconomical for the Far East.
The reason why he dared to let the entire orc army charge was because he was sure that Faried would not make a desperate and reckless choice, so he sent a signal.
A signal to confuse Fareed that he, the young commander, will fight the elven army to the end at all costs, and that the elven army needs to be cautious.
In the ensuing long standoff, the commanders of both sides will battle their wits and courage in an attempt to defeat the enemy with minimal losses.
"Is it true? Will the final result be that Her Majesty Wendy will ascend the throne and become the Empress of the Empire? This is also an acceptable result for all parties, and there will be no local disagreements, whether it is the border army or the Far Eastern Army, they can support Her Majesty Wendy without mustard, and we will not have an opinion. β
Rhodes had already learned from Lin Ye's mouth about what had happened in the royal capital recently, and he had also learned that the emperor's candidate was neither Leighton nor Wren.
It is Wendy, the sister of the two of them, who is also Lin Ye's fiancΓ©e, and became the female emperor of the empire with Wendy's accession to the throne.
Lin Ye will also serve as the domain of the Duke of Rose, but the official canonization has not yet been issued, if you add the strong support of the Medusa family.
It can be said that this little duke, who was unknown a few years ago, has essentially mastered half of the empire.
