Chapter 623: Total Rout
The defenses of the Stormstorm Fortress collapsed in an instant with the earthquake set off by the Earth Elves, and the soldiers fled in a hurry, unable to resist at all. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The so-called defeat of the army is like a mountain, and it is only after the battle that it leads to the situation of defeat, but the two sides have not yet made formal contacts.
Thousands of Storm Legion soldiers, as well as the local soldiers of the Obsidian Province who assisted in the battle, fled with cries of escape.
Marquis Campbell, the commander of the Stormwind Legion, led his own guards to rush over, and he tried to control the situation and regain his strength for battle.
"Don't panic, don't retreat, immediately prepare to deal with the impact, the elven army will definitely take this opportunity to storm over!"
"If we are defeated from here, then our parents and brothers will be finished, and this place must not collapse, even if we die, we will not be able to evacuate the battlefield!"
"All back, all back, you're all the bravest warriors, you won't throw in the towel here, will you? ”
Marquis Campbell tried hard to persuade him, but he was only able to win over some of the soldiers, and most of the formations were torn apart by the earthquake, and the fortress collapsed.
The psychological impact on the young soldiers was absolutely devastating, and hundreds of them were even swept up in the collapse of the fortress and crushed into pulp.
It was very difficult for them to quickly regroup in this situation, and the horn of the elven army to attack echoed in their ears.
"Lord Campbell, there is no way to win over the soldiers to meet the battle now, we have lost the barrier of the fortress, we can't fight, let's withdraw quickly!"
"Stormstorm Fortress is all over, now what we have to do is to preserve the living forces to fight the next battle, and now we can only choose to retreat. ”
"No matter what kind of problems we face next, that's the next thing, and it's imperative to survive here!"
The officers persuaded the Marquis of Campbell to quickly lead his cronies away, and the majestic fortress could already be declared to fall.
This is certainly unwilling, but this cruel reality is in front of them, and retreat is their only choice now, and they have lost completely.
"Has the fortress that our Stormwind Family has guarded for generations fallen like this?What about Amelle?Who saw her?Where is she now?"
Marquis Campbell laughed miserably, and soon he thought of something, and immediately searched for the whereabouts of his daughter, who was on Stormstorm.
With the collapse of the fortress, if she has something long and short, it will definitely become the last straw that crushes his Marquis Campbell's psychological defense!
"Father, I'm here, I'm fine, but there are many brothers under my hands...... Damn, we can't let the elven army rush in, we must resist!"
Surrounded by several soldiers, Ai Moer walked quickly, her shoulder was wounded, she was bleeding profusely, and her face became very ugly and disgraced.
But her expression was very determined, she was full of guilt for the collapse of the storm fortress, gritted her teeth and was unwilling, and she was bound to defend it.
"With the little people we have in our hands now, there is no way to deal with the impact of the elven army, everything is over, you take people away, get out of here, I'm here to delay time for you, you and Rhodes retreat to the royal capital, only there can you hold on, understand?"
Marquis Campbell's face was as dead as ashes, his speech was dry and hoarse, and he had a great sense of explaining what had happened, and he had no intention of living.
"Retreat? You have reached this point, and there is no other choice? But father, even if you want to go, you must go with us!"
Amelle was stunned, she saw in her father's face the determination to live and die with the Stormwind Fortress, and they were in a desperate situation.
"As the patriarch of the Stormwind family, the commander of the Stormwind Legion, our family has guarded this fortress for hundreds of years, and has never fallen into such a situation, as a marquis who guards the frontier and was canonized by the empire, I have the obligation to hold on here until the last moment, you go, this is an order!"
Seeing that his daughter was unresponsive, Marquis Campbell aggravated his tone and scolded her in a commanding tone to leave, she couldn't stay any longer, there was no time!
"No, I'm also a member of the Storm Family, and it's my responsibility for the fortress to become like this, and I won't leave, I will definitely stick to it until the last moment!"
Ai Mo'er's tone is resolute, she has been this paranoid and stubborn since she was a child, as long as it is something she believes in, she will never change it.
This is the case when she chose to join the army, and the same is true when she chose to marry Rhodes, even if the road ahead is the end of the road, she will go on firmly!
"You're not just a member of the Storm Family, you're also Rod's wife, you can't ignore orders like this and tie her up for me!"
Although Marquis Campbell has always been not very optimistic about Rod's son-in-law, he thinks that Rod's courage is too small and his style of doing things is really soft.
For a veteran soldier like him, who has been guarding the frontier all year round, he looks down on a young politician like Rhodes who is full of calculations.
But at this time, he still moved Rod out, and he knew that the kid was useless, at least it was still very important to Amelle.
"Who dares to tie up my wife? My wife is fine, I am here to fight with you to the end, and I will never run away because of the loss of the fortress!"
At this moment, the local governor of the Obsidian Province, Rhodes, rushed over with a menacing attitude, carrying a broad-bladed long sword.
However, it was obvious that his posture of holding the sword was very non-standard, after all, he had not practiced swordsmanship much, and the sword was heavy for him.
"What are you doing here? You're the governor of Obsidian Province, if you die, what will happen to the people of the entire province? Are you crazy?"
Ai Mo'er was scolded when he saw Rod appear and aimed at him, and Rod should never appear here at this time.
"If the Storm Fortress completely falls, at most a week, the entire Obsidian Province will be swept away, and my hard work over the years will be completely ruined, you let me engage in administrative development, let me fight I am really not this material, rather than let me watch my people die, it is better to let me die in front of them, and wife, we may not necessarily lose this war, at least there is a forty percent hope of winning." ”
Rod snapped his fingers and looked at Ai Mo'er with a smile, which seemed a bit silly to the latter, and he didn't know what he was happy about.
"What are you talking about, have you figured out the current situation, and now we're just lost, okay?"
Ai Mo'er glared at her husband angrily, he didn't understand military affairs and was beyond the sky.
"There's really no hope of winning before that guy comes, and after he comes, there's no way, look over there. ”
Rhodes pointed to the banner in the distance, and the cavalry team that had rushed from the rear of the fortress raised the battle flag and stormed towards the elven onslaught.
All the orc soldiers who were about to retreat saw the banner and were all stunned.
