Chapter 255: A Legend Is Born
A raging fire, spreading rapidly through the orc camp. The sequelae of the high-density camping all broke out at this moment.
In the face of the raging fire, the orc soldiers, dominated by panic, kept scurrying around the camp, and the whole camp was in chaos.
The small tribes stationed on the outskirts were okay, and they were able to pick up a life when they left the camp. The orcs in the middle of the camp were the worst, with a sea of fire on all sides, and they were directly reduced to barbecue.
The royal families and royal families camped along the lake were not able to please them. Fetching water to extinguish the fire is just a dream, and in reality it is simply too late. To escape the fire, they were forced to run to the lake.
There are too many orcs pouring in, and the consequence of crowding people is that the orcs in front of them are constantly squeezed into the lake.
For a while, it was the sound of falling water and screams.
The tragic scene did not arouse Hudson's sympathy, but waited for the baptism of the magic crystal cannon.
The artillery fire enveloped the dense crowd, and it was a complete massacre. The traps that were once dug by the orcs are now the burial ground for themselves.
"Necromancers, wizards are free!"
Hudson ordered with a solemn expression.
Even if he is used to seeing the killing on the battlefield, he is still a little uncomfortable in the face of such a tragic scene.
However, the discomfort of normal people is the favorite of necromancers and wizards. Dead spirits everywhere, but their favorite material.
Playing like this inside the Terran world, there is no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth, but now it is aimed at the alien race, and Hudson directly chose not to see it.
Looking at the battlefield ahead, you can vaguely see death rolling. Countless fallen corpses slowly rose from the ground and slashed at their former comrades with weapons......
The killing under the moonlit night is still expanding. The wail of "earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods" resounded throughout the world.
The black-robed strange man lurking outside the barracks in the distance is already angry at the moment. These were all the things he had booked, and now they were ruined by Hudson.
Unfortunately, he could do nothing but get angry. Such a large-scale war is no longer something that a small cult can participate in.
It's okay to hide in the dark and pick up some cheap, but if you don't jump out stupidly, it's a head.
The helpless fury made the orcs who followed the strange shadow tremble. A cult is a cult after all, and it is not important to convince people with virtue here.
Dealing with negative energy for a long time, almost every cult leader has a bit of a perverted psychology.
"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and collect souls!
Remember, be hidden and don't be discovered! ”
The Phantom Monster retorted.
Now that we have come to this, all we can do now is to stop our losses as much as possible. As a cult organization, it is destined that they will not be able to come to the front of the stage and be the protagonist.
Even if the orcs were at war with the Terrans, they were the first to be struck, because no one wanted to die without peace.
This is not the same as the organized necromancers and wizards. People only plague orcs now, and naturally they will not be hunted down by the Alpha Kingdom.
While speaking, the strange shadow had already shot and killed the two eaglemen flying overhead. If you see something you shouldn't see, you must die.
After killing the two orc messengers, the strange shadow did not leave, and continued to guard the main road to kill the mouth.
If you want to pick up the bargain, you naturally have to delay as much time as possible. The troops now stationed near the lake were all withdrawn from the front line to recuperate.
Most of the masters of the Orc Empire are actually still concentrated on the front-line battlefield. If the messenger had sent the news back, the reinforcements might have been too late to put out the fire, but it would definitely interrupt him from collecting souls.
……
As the minutes passed, the shouting and killing on the battlefield had weakened a lot, and a red sun slowly rose in the sky.
"Land, chase down the remnants of the enemy, and clean up the battlefield by the way!"
Hudson ordered indifferently.
War does not tolerate the slightest tenderness, and when the power is strong, it cannot spare people. Any mercy to the enemy is irresponsible to one's own soldiers.
The war has been going on so far, and it is already the stage of sweeping the end, and it is also the stage where it is easiest to achieve results.
When you step on land, the smell of meat comes straight to your nose. However, the soldiers of the kingdom at this moment did not have the slightest appetite.
After the landing, the army split in two. Some of them chased the remnants of the fleeing enemies, and some of them stayed on the battlefield to mend the knives of the undead orcs, and by the way, the dead orcs were gathered together for secondary incineration.
Even the rowing sailors were not idle, and they went out to catch the floating corpses of the orcs.
At this moment, Xueyue Lake has been stained red with blood. Countless carnivorous fish were attracted to it, but they were afraid to approach the roaring magic crystal cannon.
With so many people dying at once, if we don't deal with it, I'm afraid this land will become a Jedi.
Hudson, who had long regarded Snow Moon Lake as his own territory, did not dare to leave the corpses of the orcs for the fish in the lake to eat.
In the event that a virus mutates and pollutes the lake, the downstream territory will be in bad shape.
To be on the safe side, it would be better to pick up a fire and let the pastors purify it again.
……
The routs who scattered and fled finally brought the news back to the Shuai camp. Daniel, who received the news, had a buzzing head all of a sudden.
How is it possible that the troops stationed in the rear to rest and recuperate were actually seriously damaged by the enemy's sneak attack?
You must know that when he determined that the shore of Xueyue Lake was a resting place, he personally went to the site to inspect the site, and also ordered the troops to build simple fortifications.
Under normal circumstances, even if it is attacked by the enemy's main force, it can hold out for a long time.
Now the main forces of the Alpha Kingdom are confronting them on the front line, and the troops that can be drawn are only sixty or seventy thousand at most.
How can it be possible to lose more than twenty times the superiority of troops, or as a defensive side?
In particular, the troops stationed on the front line to guard against the enemy's sneak attack are still the armies of the royal family and the royal family, and the number is as many as 300,000.
The main force of 300,000 plus an army of one million orcs, no matter how you look at it, is the configuration of the forces of Armageddon, and it is completely anti-cognitive to be crushed by the enemy in a daze.
If it weren't for the rout soldiers who fled back to say this, Daniel would have suspected that this was an enemy spy who had come to disturb the morale of the army.
didn't have time to think about the aftermath, a group of emperors and kings came to the door, and it could be seen from the gloomy faces of everyone that everyone was in a very bad mood at the moment.
If ordinary orc soldiers suffer heavy losses, they can still accept it, then the loss of the main force is to challenge everyone's bottom line.
Among the emperors and kings, the Eagle Man Emperor's expression was slightly better.
As the only air force in the empire, it belongs to the treasure service, and is mainly responsible for detecting and containing the air force of the Terrans, and there is no need to compete with other races for resting ground.
With a moment of humility, he avoided a crisis, and the Eagle Emperor's heart was also full of flavors at the moment.
Of course, as an air force, even if the company camp is burned, it will not affect their escape.
Under the blind fire of the black light, even if the enemy wants to stop it, he can't intercept it.
"Marshal Daniel, the troops resting in the rear have suffered heavy losses, do you have anything to say?"
The Bear Emperor asked angrily.
There is no doubt that his patience has reached its limit at this moment. The shadow of the enemy did not know what it looked like, and the three legions of ursa infantry were killed in the flames.
This is the first time in history that the battle has been fought so aggrieved. In the past, although they often suffered losses under Hudson, at least they fought back!
The mood of everyone present was similar to that of the Bear Emperor. When something so big happens, as a manager, you must be to blame.
After a slight hesitation, Daniel sorted out his thoughts and said, "Your Majesty the Bear Emperor, no one wants to see this kind of thing happen!"
But there is no way, the enemy is the number one general in the mainland, and what this person is best at is turning decay into magic.
I don't believe that if you go to the history books and burn down the company camp for hundreds of miles, who else can do it except Hudson?
You must know that camping by the water is also an old tradition, and after countless years of time from ancient times to the present, this kind of accident has never happened!
Something that has never happened before, who could have thought about it beforehand?
In the final analysis, it is the enemy who is too vile and cunning! ”
If it was a bloody struggle with the enemy, it would be a heavy loss, but this time it was a one-sided heavy loss!
The number of enemy casualties cannot be counted, but from the information brought by the defeated soldiers, it can be basically determined that the enemy will not suffer too many casualties.
In this context, throwing the pot has become inevitable. No one can afford such heavy casualties.
If there is no suitable scapegoat available, it can only be that the enemy is too powerful, anyway, it is not the first time that Hudson has been trumpeted within the Orc Empire, and there is no shame in following the praise.
At least this reason can be used to gag the Bear Emperor, because he was the first to brag about Hudson.
Looking at the face of the bear man, you can know that his mood is very complicated at the moment. When he advocated Hudson, he just wanted to save his face, but he never thought that the he once bragged about would now become true.
With their gang constantly making stepping stones, superimposed on the previous records, Hudson will definitely be a god after this battle!
In the future, if you want to study the modern history of the Orc Empire, you can directly study it in reverse: "How will the first place in the continent be trained".
"Field Marshal Daniel, Hudson is also our old adversary, and I don't think there is any need to discuss this question anymore.
The question now is not how powerful the enemy is, but how we can continue this war.
The war has gone on so far, the enemy's losses are minimal, but the empire has already lost its vitality.
If we fail to take effective measures to prevent similar incidents from happening, we are afraid that we will suffer a big loss in the subsequent war! ”
The Lion Emperor said with a serious face.
"Suffering a big loss" is already a very euphemistic statement, and the real situation is that he no longer has any hope of victory in the next war.
There is no way, every time it fights Hudson, the orc empire is the losing side, even if it has superior forces.
After going through it many times, and meeting Hudson on the battlefield again, psychologically they were a little shorter.
It has developed to the present, and they themselves believe what they once boasted about.
What's worse is that it is not one or two who have this idea, but it has become a collective consensus.
In the face of this change, Daniel is also powerless. There were so many failures that he was getting used to it.
For a manager, this habit of "conceding defeat" is undoubtedly very fatal.
After emptying his mind for a moment and realizing the seriousness of the problem, Daniel hurriedly opened his mouth to remedy: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, Hudson is a man, not a god!"
No matter how powerful his personal ability is, he is still limited by the national strength of the Alpha Kingdom.
Since the art of war can't play with him, then we will change our tactical thinking, and then directly form a hard village, fight in a stupid battle, and directly fight with the enemy! ”
The most effective measures are often the simplest measures. The more bells and whistles you have, the more likely you are to have problems.
Especially for a country like the Orc Empire, which is full of internal contradictions, it is necessary to pay more attention to this point when fighting a war with troops.
It's just that this simple way of coping is too close to the truth, and it is different from the celebrities chased by mainstream society, but it is difficult to be recognized.
Judging by the reaction of the crowd, Daniel knew that his position had been impacted. After a series of setbacks, everyone's trust in him is much less than before.
……
Emerald Palace, Caesar IV, who received the battle report, his first reaction was that the data statistics were wrong.
He would not be surprised that the front won a big victory. Hudson had so many victories in the past days that he had long been used to it.
However, the astonishing report on the number of enemy annihilations in front of us, as well as the disparity between the two sides, are too exaggerated.
When will the kingdom be able to use millions as a unit of measurement when it counts its achievements?
In Caesar IV's view, the number of enemies destroyed on the battle report is crossed out by two zeros, and the data is more realistic.
With Hudson's aura of a famous general, he was still able to accept the annihilation of more than 10,000 enemy troops at the cost of no more than 1,000 casualties.
After carefully going through the detailed battle report and making sure that it was not a clerical error, Caesar IV was directly dumbfounded on the spot.
Is this war?
No, it's a mythical story!
An army of 50,000 broke through the enemy's million-strong army and annihilated most of the enemy's main force, which does not look like a conventional war no matter how you look at it!
"Has the data been verified?"
Caesar IV asked with a trembling voice.
The news is too shocking, and he needs to slow down. Even if he knew that such a major mistake would not occur with this level of battle report, he still couldn't digest it for a while.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured!
The volume of information in this good news is too large.
Before coming, the Ministry of Military Affairs has repeatedly verified the results of the battle, and after confirming that it is correct from many parties, it will report to you. ”
The Minister of War replied in a high-spirited manner.
The victory at the front line also has a credit to the Ministry of Military Affairs. He didn't do anything, he picked up a big political achievement in vain, and the corners of Earl Ekman's mouth were about to bend with joy.
After confirming the accuracy of the military exploits, he immediately took them to Caesar IV to ask for credit. As for the legend of the record, for Earl Aikman, who is in dire need of a stable position of political achievement, he simply does not care so much.
