Chapter 123: Self-defeating
The process was tragic and bloody, but it was extremely short.
After the beast armor warriors paid the price of more than a dozen deaths, the human phantom armor warrior brigade was completely wiped out. Lying on the ground, there is hardly a complete body of a human being. And in one corner, a small pile of phantom crystals piled up on the ground, and the four wolf brothers returned to their original shape, like four and a half sized little wolf dogs, surrounding the phantom crystals, bargaining for snacks, and making a few roars from time to time, obviously distributing the spoils unevenly!
Baroque didn't bother to pay attention to the four gluttonous guys, who were helping the injured orcs to heal their injuries. His student Tahir Jr. also rushed from behind, and under the guidance of Baroque, he was trying to feel the power of the shaman to heal the orcs who had been lightly wounded. Each orc had a smile on his face and encouragement...... Even if their wounds were brought back to life by the looming power of Tahir's shamanic witch doctor, they would not complain. Because any orc knows the importance of the witch doctor's inheritance, little Tahir is undoubtedly the key———— as long as he can fully release the power of the witch doctor's healing, it means that the shamanic witch doctor's inheritance has officially returned to glory. At that time, the Baroque would select qualified orc children from the entire orc tribe on a large scale and train shamanic witch doctors. Once there are more witch doctors, it is almost equivalent to doubling the strength of the orcs.
At this time, Muru in the rear was also ready, and he could retreat and transfer at any time, and Baroque treated the last seriously injured beast armored warrior, and when he stood up, Angray finally came with news in front. As expected, 30,000 human cavalry were routed, almost all of them were wiped out, and fewer than a few thousand were able to escape.
What is especially ironic is that the human cavalry is actually charging at Touangore's army. Angery seized the opportunity to use the large boar heavy cavalry of Hubertus as an arrow, and had a fierce collision with the human cavalry. The orc losses were minimal, and the cavalry legions of the humans almost collapsed on the spot. Even if they held out for a while, they were immediately attacked by Tulayan and Yatutu, who came around from behind, and finally ended in a crushing defeat..............................
From the Baroque luring Lukyan out to kill, to the Phantom Armor Samurai Brigade being surrounded. It only took more than half a day to break through the defensive battle array and slaughter it, and then to destroy the last 30,000 cavalry of the human race in front of him. The timing and meticulous planning of its time cannot but be admired by even the best commanders. At least that's what Davenport thinks!
When he led the main force of the army. When he finally caught up, he only saw the corpses of human cavalry in one place, and none of them were orc corpses, and even if there were, they were taken away by orcs! Davenport's heart fell to the bottom. He knew that the worst thing he wanted to see was happening.
The army fell into an eerie silence, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in front of them were almost only breathing, and no one dared to make even the slightest sound, lest they anger Davenport, whose expression was like a rock.
Continuing on, they were miles away and saw a slain army of Phantom Warriors. The remains of the more than 200 warriors were neatly arranged on the ground by the orcs, and even their bodies were covered with a layer of animal skin robes. It was a sign of respect that the orcs had for the warriors. The Phantom Warriors were defeated and killed, but their courage won the approval of the orcs.
Already numb. Davenport looked indifferently and did not find Lukiyan. Despite Lukyan's strength, it is almost impossible for an orc to be his opponent. But by this time, he had almost decided that Lu Kiyan was more than lucky. For no other reason, Davenport thinks so.
Continuing to walk forward, he saw a clear space that was obviously different from the surroundings, as if it had been crushed by gravity, very flat, and in the middle of it was a neat pile of stones, like a tomb. In front of it stands an exceptionally large rock. On the flat side of the top, a few large characters are engraved with sharp weapons [Lukiyan's Tomb - A Fearless Warrior]!
Well, in the end, the last thing that happened, the Phantom Armored Warrior Brigade from Lu Kiyan down, all the troops were wiped out! Davenport did not doubt that Lu Kiyan's body was actually buried under this pile of stones. Because the orcs don't have that need to deceive.
Under the successive defeats and blows, the human army once again faced a choice, but Davenport, the controller, was no longer confused, but his heart was firm.
Although the orcs erected a tomb for Lukiyan, Davenport ordered his grave to be dug up and the warrior whose bones were almost all broken was carried out. Carefully wrapped in fine linen, and then gathered all the other two hundred Phantom Armor warriors who had died in battle, and sent a team of soldiers to carry the remains of these warriors back to the Bright Mountain. At the same time, he also wrote a letter himself, which he had to bring back to Pope Magus!
No one knows what was written in his letter, but Davenport actually only wrote a few paragraphs: "Your Majesty, I have faced the orc Baroque, suffered many defeats, and have reached the verge of total collapse. But I won't just throw in the towel, let alone retreat in shame. I will lead the army to continue the attack on the orcs, no longer defensive, no longer cautious, until I die in the northern tundra...... I know this very well, I will die here, and I also have a hunch that the orcs will not be severely damaged by me, and the baroque will reinvigorate the bravery and blood of the cowardly orcs, buried deep in the blood, we ...... It's time to take this defeated opponent seriously! I'm going to tell you a little bit about it...... The Orc Baroque must die, even if it costs a great price, it must be killed, if it is left unchecked and neglected, it will completely shake the dominance of our human race on the continent, and if that happens, it will be ......a disaster........................!"
Sending off the messenger and the team transporting the remains of the Phantom Armored Warrior, Davenport calmly summoned all the generals, as if he didn't see the panic in the eyes of the people, he just explained a few words in a routine manner, and didn't care what kind of commotion and panic it would cause among the generals: "The orcs have cornered us, and all of you know what will happen to us if we return at this time...... Ordinary soldiers may be fine, but you ...... Everyone, including me, is responsible for this defeat. There will always be a large number of heads to the ground, and I'm sure that no one will be able to intercede, and we will die in order to give an account to the Terrans!"
The generals looked at each other, and they all knew that Davenport was not lying, and that such a fiasco almost never happened in history, but it was caused by their hands. Even if the greatest responsibility can be placed on Davenport, they will never escape, and it is not too much to die a few times. No one's intercession is of any use.
"I have a proposal, and perhaps our last hope. Davenport's voice rang out slowly, and the panicked generals seemed to see the last straw. "Speak, Lord Master, and we will obey all your commands. ”
"If our end is already too bad to be worse, why don't we take a gamble and continue to kill the orcs in the Valley of Miracles? You can even save your own family because of our deaths. But if we attack the Valley of Miracles, then all our sins will be wiped off, and we will even become heroes of the human race, what do you think?"
This is the temperament of a gambler, and Davenport's seductive words provoke the generals' desire to survive. Since there is still a glimmer of opportunity, even if it is small, it needs to be seized.
The Commander's proposal was unanimously approved, and the generals became active, debating how the army should march towards the Valley of Miracles. In fact, there is nothing to say, they still have an army of 1.5 million, in the face of absolute power, they only need to rush straight to the Valley of Miracles, as long as they are dead, it will always make the orc's interception army overwhelmed, and as long as the army is close to the Valley of Miracles, the magicians whose strength is still intact can cast forbidden spells, blast open the gate of the Valley of Miracles, and completely destroy the last fortress of the orcs.
Davenport's expression was grim, even though he silently said to himself in his heart, "I'm going to hell!" ———— discussion, not even a single general thought about the most ordinary and most pitiful soldiers. You must know that if you continue to advance, in the face of the frantic interception attack of the orcs, you will need to pay a bloody price far beyond people's imagination, and there is always a chance in everything, if it fails again, then this 1.5 million army will be completely wiped out......!
........................ Dividing line ..................
Baroque finally began to have a headache, and it was very powerful! He defeated the human army commanded by Davenport again and again, but instead of making it difficult to retreat, he made the enemy completely crazy. Begin to recklessly march towards the Valley of Miracles. In the past, scouts would be carefully released to scout the surroundings, but at this time, they were all taken back, and with the terrifying power of the 1.5 million army, they crushed it sideways. With only 350,000 orc cavalry in his hands, the Baroque failed to achieve results several times, and even the third and last line of defense formed by Muru was finally broken through after paying the price of hundreds of thousands of human warriors after paying the price of hundreds of thousands of human warriors dying in battle. The orcs could not escape, and tens of thousands of cavalry were also swallowed up by the tide of crowds.
Of the 500,000 warriors that the entire beast clan had put together with all their strength, there were only 300,000 left at this time, except for those who were killed in battle and those who were wounded and retreated. But it was going to be used to block the crazy attack of more than a million human troops, and all the orcs felt tremendous pressure at the moment!
In the face of absolute strength, the Baroque only had a bitter smile. In the end, Davenport chose the most effective solution...... It would cost dearly, but it would leave the orcs with no choice but to confront them head-on. Because if they don't, their old nest [Valley of Miracles] will be attacked!
