Chapter 64: After the Break
Lei looked at the defeated human warriors indifferently, and now it has completely become a one-sided slaughter in Camp No. 1, which is no different from the fact that he led the team to exterminate the Fengpeng clan some time ago, the same frightened cry, the same fleeing everywhere, but in the end he was crushed to the ground by the galloping chariot, which became the fertilizer for the growth of all things next year.
"General, His Majesty the Beast Emperor asked you to gather your subordinates and go to see him!" a orc herald rode across the wolf, and shouted loudly when he was still more than ten meters away from Lei's chariot.
Ray nodded, indicating that he had heard, and then gave the order for the whole team. Soon, the 1,000 mammoth chariots gathered back and formed a formation in the open space outside Camp No. 1, while Ray stood on his chariot and drove to the Beast Emperor's location.
"Your Majesty!" Ray jumped out of the chariot and said loudly, "Ray is here on order!"
The Beast Emperor looked at Lei with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Lei, your offensive is still so sharp. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment, but these humans are too weak to embody the power of the Mammoth Legion. Ray grumbled, "It's hard to imagine that our ancestors were driven out of their homes by these guys." ”
"Ray, don't underestimate humans. When the prophet Evan heard Ray's words, he admonished him: "Twenty hundred years ago, our ancestors were driven from here by them, and the human army of 100,000 men was so strong that it crushed hundreds of thousands of us. ”
"Prophet Evan, that was 200 years ago, but now?" said Ray with his hand, pointing to the human soldiers in Camp 1 who only knew how to flee and did not know how to resist, "In the beginning, there were more than 100,000 of them, but no one thought of resisting at all, so we drove them like cattle and sheep. ”
"Ray's bravery, everyone knows. The prophet Evan complimented Ray, and then said, "But if you want to compete with the human royal knights, you can't do it by bravery alone. ”
"Alright, Ray. The Beast Emperor shook his head slightly to stop Lei's argument: "The situation is completely under control here, and now I will give you a rather important task." The Beast Emperor patted Lei lightly on the shoulder and whispered, "The future of our orcs depends on you." ”
"Ahh
The Beast Emperor's voice was so small that only he, Ray, and the prophet Evan could hear it: "The Hengduan Mountains cut off the southern and northern Tarun grasslands, and today we can break through here, but maybe in a few decades, our descendants will be driven out again, just like 200 years ago." So, we have to find another way to get through this natural hazard. Human navigation technology far surpasses ours, and their ships can go from Sea Breeze City in the south to Sunrise City in the north, a distance that can cross the Hengduan Mountains from the ocean to connect the Tarunn grasslands in the north and south. Therefore, as long as we master the navigation technology of humans, we orcs will no longer be stopped by this mountain range, and our descendants will have the ability to compete with humans for this continent. ”
"I see!" the Beast Emperor's words made Ray understand his intentions, which was to seize Sunrise City. And to make a long run from Thor's fortress to Sunrise City, far away in the sea to the east, only the mammoth army under Thunder can do it.
"I'll go at once!" said Lei solemnly, "I will definitely take Sunrise City." ”
"Go ahead, I'll give you command of all the wolf cavalry troops, this is all the mobility troops of our Barbarian Bear Clan. ”
"But what about the defeated soldiers of the human race here?" Lei asked, "Your Majesty, you only have infantry left here, and you have no advantage in speed." ”
The Beast Emperor shook his head and said, "It doesn't make a difference whether these defeated soldiers are killed or not, what we have to do now is to receive." The weapons, materials, technology, etc., left behind by humans, all that we orcs need, must be brought over. We've taken it here with all our might, and we're running to the limit of our supplies, and we have to rest. So, you don't have reinforcements!"
Ray nodded solemnly, turned and boarded his chariot. The mammoth roared and dragged the bronze chariot slowly.
Seeing that Lei led his men to the east quickly, and soon disappeared into the night, the Beast Emperor let out a long sigh and whispered: "Gather the army, if the human race is not dead, it is better to be arrested and become slaves." By the way, I remember Senat telling me that there was a small bazaar south of the barracks where the soldiers were stationed, and that they would go to a thousand-man squad and see what they had to gain. ”
At Camp 2, Colin and Thomas stood a little nervously behind Ryan, and the first group of about 1,200 men that Jonas led the group had regrouped and sent over to join Ryan's line. It is also a coincidence that the soldiers who escaped first basically belonged to Jonas's legion, because of Kissern's discrimination, the men of Jonas's legion all lived south of Camp 1, because every time they went to the city wall to garrison, they would pass through the entire barracks, and they had to walk a long way. As a result, as soon as the orcs attacked, these soldiers naturally ran ahead, which also made Jonas's face red.
At the behest of their immediate superiors, the routs quickly took up arms again, and dozens of them who were good at archery were singled out by Colin and Thomas to fill the archer unit, while the rest were all armed with spears and formed a phalanx with the fence and artificial obstacles of Camp 2.
Jonas and his men desperately gathered the rout, then organized them as quickly as they could, selected the elite warriors and sent them to Lane's side, while the rest was left to Flanner.
The residents of Camp 2 have begun to evacuate in an orderly manner under the organization of Franner, but many of the residents are relatives of the soldiers here, many crying and shouting hoping to find their families first, and many ** bags carry a lot, which completely slows down the speed of walking.
Soon, a thousand-strong team of orcs came over, and the sharp-eyed Allendo spotted the enemy from a distance, and the entire temporary defense line immediately entered a combat state. Colin and Thomas each led a squad on either side of Ryan, flanking the entire line to guard the mage forces in the center of the line, while Ryan gave the order to stand still.
Because Camp 2 was being evacuated on a large scale, it was impossible not to light the lights, so the orcs saw the situation in Camp 2 from a distance, and the leader of the orcs disdainfully gave the order to charge the whole army.
Seeing that the orcs were getting closer and closer to him, the human soldiers stationed there all clenched the weapons in their hands, each of them knew Ryan's record, and now that this powerful magician and his troops were here, everyone was much calmer than before, and Jonas also made it clear when he collected them, continue to flee south in a hurry, they will not have any food during the ten-day journey, and can only die slowly under the fierce pursuit of the orcs. And by following Ryan to snipe the orcs until dawn and let the logistics take away the food, they can evacuate slowly, and many of them have families in Camp 2, even for their wives and children, they have to fight like a man.
The orc who rushed to the front was only 20 meters away from Ryan, who recited a spell, condensed a large amount of fire elemental in the palm of his hand, and then threw the fireball out. "Boom!", more than a dozen orc warriors were blown into the sky, and a huge sound and brilliant magical flames also issued an order to fight.
Twenty human warriors threw torches into the orcs, and the light from the torches reflected the orc warriors, making them the best targets for archers.
The best "whoosh!whoosh!" Colin and Thomas began to direct their men to shoot, at a distance of tens of meters, the archers could shoot at the target as long as they aimed slightly, the orc who was hit by the arrow let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground, the leader of the orcs did not know who was shot in the throat by an arrow, and died on the spot, the orcs who had lost their leader did not organize an effective formation at all, they completely relied on their own bravery to rush to the temporary defense line organized by Lane.
"Lower the spear!" Alendor commanded in a deep voice. Nearly 1,000 human pikemen lined up in two rows, aiming their sharp spears at the rushing orcs. These 1,000 orcs are all elite warriors of the Barbarian Bear Clan, wearing leather armor inlaid with bronze plates, and the weapons in their hands are also made of iron, and they didn't encounter decent resistance at all when they just slaughtered the human rout, seeing that the human beings still dare to resist, many people let out angry screams, brandished weapons and rushed up, not caring about the sharp blades that were braving the cold air at all.
"Thorn!" Alendor roared, and the human pikemen standing in the first row did not hesitate to stab the spear in his hand with all his might. "Boom!" rang out, and hundreds of orc warriors were stabbed in the body with spears. The first row of human warriors stabbed their targets and pulled their spears back with all their might, while the second row of warriors stabbed their spears at this time. "Flutter!" the spear pierced the orc's body mercilessly, many orcs were stabbed in multiple places on their bodies, many died on the spot, and their bodies hung softly on the spear.
"Stab again!" Elendor roared again, and the first row of human pikemen who received the order didn't care whether there was an enemy in front of him, but just stabbed the spear in his hand with all his strength as he usually trained, and 500 sharp spears formed a steel defense line, mercilessly harvesting the lives of orcs.
