Chapter 3: The Resumption of War (3)
As Alessandra and Ignati Woods quickly returned to the South Tallon savannah through the pass of Thor's Fortress, they saw the smoke billowing from the new city, and the city that their three clans had spent years tearing down and building with the materials they had obtained had been engulfed in flames.
Alexandra closed her eyes in pain, and couldn't bear to see the tragic scene in front of her again, but Ignati Woods, who was thin by nature, gave a loud order, asking the two of their guards to withdraw immediately to the southwest, and a total of 15,000 young orcs of the three clans who were about ten years old were hidden in that direction, which was a habit they developed after the outbreak of the Beast Emperor's all-out war summoning order.
It's a pity that the patriarchs of the two clans don't have too many cavalry in their hands, most of them rely on their own two legs to run, and the speed is naturally incomparable with the cavalry. Fortunately, the guards under the two of them together also exceeded 6,000 people, all of whom were the most elite warriors of their own clan, and the wolf cavalry of the Barbarian Bear Clan naturally did not dare to come up to stop them, except for immediately reporting this discovery, they just hung on their tails from a distance, and followed behind unhurriedly.
Alexandra knew that if the other party was allowed to follow like this, the main force of the Barbarian Bear Clan would soon catch up, and at that time, I am afraid that even those seeds of the future would not be left, especially the Mammoth Legion's scythe battlefield was extremely powerful, and it could exert all its lethality in this kind of savannah, let them go like this, and no one would survive to fall night.
So Alexandra used several tricks again and again, or sent people to tease, or hid in secret places, hoping to ambush the wolf cavalry behind her, but unfortunately the opponent's mobility occupied an absolute advantage, as long as she found that something was wrong, she immediately fled, and it was difficult for Alexandra to intercept the other party in the vast prairie with all the cavalry in her hands. After tossing and turning like this for several hours, the wolf cavalry who followed them lost only one man, but suddenly there was a slight jolt under Arisandra's feet.
Alexandra was shocked, knowing that this was the Mammoth Legion reinforcements of the Barbarian Bear Clan, he looked back at Ignati Woods, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that we also have to make a difficult choice, otherwise we will be chased by them like this, and everyone will be doomed! Although you and I are all elite soldiers, we fled south lightly, and we did not carry any equipment to deal with the impact of the cavalry, let alone block the impact of the scythe chariot." Since we will have to die if we continue to fight south and defend in place, we might as well choose one direction and see who has better luck!"
Ignati Woods also knew that Alessandra's proposal was simply to sacrifice one person and save the other, but it was up to her luck to sacrifice who would save her, but this was half the chance to survive, seeing that there were still a few hours before dark, as long as it could be delayed until nightfall, then her chances of escape would be greatly increased, so she agreed.
Soon, the two of them led their own guards to part ways, Alessandra chose to flee to the southeast, and Ignati Woods chose to withdraw due west, their move also made it difficult for the wolf cavalry of the Barbarian Bear Clan who were following behind them far away, they originally only had dozens of horses, if they divided the troops again, there were only a dozen people on each side, both in terms of combat effectiveness and in the range of vigilance would be greatly reduced, I am afraid it would be difficult to identify the trap laid by the other party in advance.
Fortunately, the leader of the wolf cavalry soon met the mammoth legion galloping from the northeast, and saw the legion commander Lei, who personally led the pursuit of the team, and after hearing the report, he didn't even think about it, and immediately gave the order to pursue to the west. At the beginning, Ignati Woods chose to flee from this direction, thinking that every time he walked a little west, he would be farther away from the other party, and the Mammoth Army might not be in pursuit, but Ray chose this direction.
The huge mammoth pulled the battlefield covered with scythes on both sides of the carriage and rumbled in the direction where Ignati Woods, the patriarch of the Giant Serpent Clan, fled, while the wolf cavalry of dozens of meters was arranged by Lei to continue to track Alexandra in the southeast. Ray naturally didn't know the identity of these defeated enemies he was chasing, but he also knew that there must be important people from the three major clans in it, but unfortunately he misjudged a little, thinking that Alexandra's team was just a partial division, after all, the direction they chose was quite close to Sunrise City, which was the most dangerous place.
Alexandra won the bet, but it doesn't mean that he can leave unharmed, after all, at this time, the South Tarren prairie is already full of wolf cavalry of the Barbarian Bear Clan, they not only want to intercept the rout of the three major clans, but also have the mission of monitoring the movements of the human army, if the human army takes advantage of this opportunity to go north, then the Barbarian Bear Clan will immediately retract and prepare for the next tough battle.
Fortunately, there was a powerful lich called Nicholas between the Beast Emperor and Senat, so the time they chose to send troops was very close, at this time the southern part of the imperial capital was under fierce attack from Seker City, and an elite legion army had quickly moved south, setting up a temporary defensive line 100 kilometers north of the town of Maury to block Sennat's army from moving north, and at the same time, more troops were continuously deployed to the south of the imperial capital to strengthen the defenses there.
After the defense of the imperial capital, although Orlando retrained a million troops, the real elite was less than 300,000 and 5 legions. Now Senate has pinned down 2 legions in the south, another legion is stationed in the area of Mirror Lake to prevent the Clay tribe from counterattacking, and another has been stationed in Cassano, filling the defensive gap after the departure of the three elites of Cassano, and those who remain in the imperial capital, except for the Royal Knights, only the first legion remains, this force is more than enough to defend, but it is not enough to take the initiative to attack.
Moreover, there is a full journey of more than ten days from the imperial capital to Thor's Fortress, even if the scouts who inquire about intelligence return to the imperial capital, Orlando will immediately organize troops to go north overnight after learning about this opportunity that was at least five days ago, I am afraid that it will be fifteen days later when the human army comes to Thor's Fortress, and then the human soldiers who are dragging their tired bodies north are likely to face the elite orc troops that have ended their internal strife and are ready to attack, and it is not surprising that one is not accidentally wiped out.
Paying a fatal price for the sake of a benefit, any mature military commander would not choose to do so, this sentence is not the case for the Beast Emperor? Although he and Senate are allied, but under the premise of facing the same enemy of the imperial capital, whether it is Andreas or Sennat, their ultimate goal is to rule this continent, and it is impossible to cooperate with each other in a truly intimate manner, otherwise the imperial capital would have been attacked by enemies from all sides and perished a few years ago.
The imperial capital can rise again, in fact, the real heroes are not Orlando, Victor or Faras, but the secret alliance between the members made by Nicholas, everyone hopes that their "allies" can lose more strength, and they can maintain more strength, which gives the imperial capital space and time to survive in the cracks. Of course, it's not that Nicholas is incompetent, for him, this situation is the best, if he really makes a close and powerful combination of forces, then how can the undead army find a chance to make a comeback?
In the middle of this, the Clay clan was wiped out, the imperial capital rose again, the barbarian bear clan went south again, Senate once again challenged the rule of the imperial capital, and the demigod lich in the other world watched with satisfaction the countless lives that die in war every day on this continent, which are the best materials for building an army of the undead. Everyone has a role to play in this never-ending war, and they are all working hard to achieve their goals, but who will be the final victor is probably not known until the last day.
Of course, Anathista was mostly invisible on this day, and at this time he had retreated to the pass of the Thor Fortress, using the narrow terrain to resist the attack of the Brute Bear Clan. After the first wave of the Wild Bear Clan launched the first wave of offensive, the armies of hundreds of thousands of the three major clans and other servant orc clans were mostly scattered, and after hundreds of thousands of people poured into the narrow pass, you stepped on me and killed each other, and only a few tens of thousands of people were able to escape from the southern exit, and the rest were all turned into corpses piled up in the canyon, but they also became obstacles to the advance of the Brute Bear Warriors.
"Ahh After two hours of fierce fighting, there were only a few of the 2,000 guards left on Anacista's side, and the corpses of waist-deep Brute Bear Clan warriors were piled up around them.
Anathista gasped and looked at a few guards around him, they were almost the only survivors on the battlefield, and everyone was wounded, but under the leadership of the patriarch Anacista, the fighting spirit was still strong, Anathista had long been unable to remember that the batch just now was the tenth thousand people sent by the Barbarian Bear Clan, but there was still not a single warrior of the Barbarian Bear Clan who could step south from here, and tens of thousands of Barbarian Bear Warriors were all annihilated here by him and his own personal guards.
Due to the corpses piled up in the narrow pass, the Brute Bear Clan had no choice but to attack forward in a thousand-man team, which gave Anathista the opportunity to fight bloodily, otherwise in a single charge on the flat savannah with the scythe chariot of the Mammoth Legion, Anathista would be crushed into meat sauce even if it was a metal body.
The Beast Emperor sat on his chariot and watched expressionlessly as his subordinates rushed forward one by one, but one by one they turned into corpses, and nearly 20,000 warriors returned to their ancestors in this way. Anacista's martial prowess is indeed worthy of his reputation, even if he is seriously injured, he is still not afraid, which makes Andreas, who is a sword saint, also very admired in his heart, and he even has the mind of love and ordered to surrender the other party.
