I don't like this stern guy, and while his severity is good for the military, I just don't like him.

On this day, Reggie came to me in a hurry. "Bill, an orc force has been spotted east of Brightwood."

"What's the unlucky man's instructions?"

"We have to assemble now." Reggie looked at me a little unnaturally.

I smiled and nodded.

It seems that this commander named Gavinrad Doom has a lot of disdain for our gang. Even the fact that we are reinforcements is probably dismissive.

But this is a much-requested opportunity, and on the one hand, I really have to ask my people to move. After all, they are here to make money, and if they stay stupid for a long time, this group of people will become lazy and afraid of death. War requires valiant people, valiant people don't need to think too much, and in some ways they are numb.

On the other hand, I also want to experience them and prove that my army is not that bad.

"How big?"

"It seems to be more than four hundred." Reggie said.

The army of four hundred orcs...... It may not seem like a lot in numbers, but they can't help but be valued with their combat effectiveness of one enemy and three.

"What about us?"

"I don't know about the other troops, but ...... We all have to go. Reggie pouted. The total number of people dispatched this time should be about 1,500. ”

"Dumping the nest? Ha! I waved to Ralph.

"The orc unit discovered by the scouts has been wandering around the valley east of Brightwood for days, and I don't know if it's lost or if it's looking for something."

"What's in the valley to the east?"

"There...... It's nothing. Reggie said. Belch...... The Archmage lives there. ”

I frowned, "Medivan? I looked back at him, "You mean Karazhan is in that valley?"

Reggie nodded.

"Hah, that's fun! These orcs aren't going to find death! ”

"This is a good opportunity to annihilate them!" Reggie said.

"Are we strikers or wings?"

"Strikers ......," Reggie said.

My lovely men quickly stood up when they heard that they were about to move, and they talked happily to each other with a relaxed face. It seems that this time it is going to make a lot of money. After all, last time, some people earned more than a dozen gold coins, and some people didn't earn any hair.

Ralph knew that he had to take care of his brothers first when he was all out of the road, and Lawrence was eager to take the shot. And the brothers who have been following me are also vying to be the first to be the pioneer.

I rejected them.

They shouted that orcs weren't that scary, and even Lawrence was a little fluttery. He felt like he could kill several orcs on his own. And I knew very well in my heart that the last time I came into contact with an orc was a fluke. And the orcs last time were probably in a hurry to go to the Southern Forest to provide information to the trolls in the forest, rather than delaying the fight with us.

I'll have to give them an account after the assembly is done, and I have a bad feeling in my heart, although I don't want to think so, but this battle will not be able to keep a lot of people dead.

The army was marching out, and Reggie and I rode ahead on horseback. In front of us was the vanguard of Marin.

The woods east of Brightwood are becoming more and more sparse, and there is always a bit of desolation in the sunny but gradually bare land.

The mountains in the distance grew larger, changing from gentle hills to towering mountain peaks. After two days of driving, the scouts in front came back to report that they had found traces of orcs.

From behind came the order to be on guard but to halt the march, and in front was a valley not too high and not too steep. I looked around, waiting for the next step.

"It's a good place to have an ambush here." I said to Reggie.

After a while, the scout in front returned, and we gradually entered the valley.

"Scouts aren't easy to do, especially when you're not riding." I say.

"Is this your experience of running in the forest for more than twenty days?"

"Yes, Reggie. If you become a marshal in the future, treat your soldiers well. Don't be like that unlucky ghost, hanging your face every day, as if you are going to be unlucky. I teased.

"I didn't think I'd be a ...... Marshal. ”

"What is the saying...... A soldier who does not want to be a marshal is not a good soldier. I looked at his face. This man was older than me, but he was still gentle. I hate the guy who pretends to be a calf with me.

"I'm in my thirties." He laughed.

"Veterans, the older they get, the more thieves they are, but veterans are treasures." I said.

"Maybe it's just a little more experienced in combat." He's quite modest.

"You'll be a marshal." I glanced at him. "I trust my eyes."

After entering the valley, it was not a quick march, but we never got a rest. There is no way, even if I am the commander, I dare not ask the army to rest in such a place. The cliffs on either side sandwich the winding path in the middle, and once you attack from above, there is nowhere to hide.

Scouts are constantly passing on information. After a night's march, we walked out of this narrow valley. When I saw a low, not dense forest, I asked Reggie to ask the unlucky Mr. Doom for repairs.

Reggie said that this operation was a clearance operation, but I think there were a lot of supplies in the back. And in the face of more than 400 orc troops, shouldn't they be resolute and seize the discovery and extermination? What are they waiting for? Still is...... Lose someone?

I was holding up my binoculars and looking at the forest in front of me, the forest was actually a basin, and the mountains in the distance wrapped around the forest. And further to the East...... The fog is so clear that I can't see clearly.

This slightly gloomy morning made the soldiers, especially my men, want to sleep after a long night's journey. Fall down and sleep.

"Where are the orcs now?" I asked Reggie.

"That's for our Supreme Commander." He didn't know either.

"We'd better be more vigilant, I feel that this commander is a bit unreliable!" I say.

After resting for three hours, he was again ordered to move forward. Watching a scout rush out of me and into the forest made me feel impatient. A bad premonition hung over me.

It seems that I am not used to this kind of identity that I don't know anything, but just obey the command of others, which makes me feel insecure.

The ground beneath your feet is getting softer and softer, and although you can walk the trail that you don't know when it was formed, it is clear that the ground is not as strong as it used to be.

"Is there a swamp ahead?" I asked Reggie.

"I ...... Haven't been here either. He looked at me and said.

"If yes, go further...... Our Marco is a little dangerous. I said.

"This ...... The commander should know. Reggie said.

"I wish he knew!" My heart was beating a drum.

We've burrowed into the forest, and I hate it now...... Feel. This lack of openness and uncertainty makes me fearful. Repeated orders urged my men to keep their eyes wide open, and not to faint in case of an attack.

"Where are the damn orcs!"

There are some things that you can't say casually, especially if you feel unlucky, or you will make yourself unlucky! Don't even say that if you might get yourself in trouble! That's it!

A minute after I said this, there was a burst of shouts and screams from the back of the line.

My heart trembled! Here they are!

The orc troops lurked in the bushes on both sides of the path, and it is unknown how long they have been lurking! Our adorable scouts didn't even find out!

"Prepare for battle!" I screamed and pulled out the knife from my waist.

The striker instantly changed to the tail of the team. Everyone turned around and looked behind them. "Alert!" I yelled, "Marlin! Watch your back! "I haven't said that yet. An arrow came from an unknown direction, and a guy next to me was hit by an arrow in the neck and fell directly to the ground! Then countless arrows flew from both sides!

"Attack! Take cover! I screamed and rolled off my horse! When I turned around, I found Reggie still on my horse, and told me to get down.

Arrows whizzed around, and people around them kept falling to the ground. Bad thing! Is this the team of four hundred orcs?

After two rounds of bow and arrow shooting, I rushed towards the orcs in the bushes with my shield! These brutes are even ambushing and playing tactics!

I rushed forward, and my companions followed me to cover up. However, when they rushed over, they found that these dozens of orc teams were fighting and retreating, and they were actually riding wolves!

I felt a tingling sensation in my head instantly! Wolf cavalry!

Looking back, where is the formation, where is the order! My team is in chaos now! There were ambushes on both sides of the road, and we were scattered!

Although they were scattered, my men didn't seem to have the toughness to face the orc troops, and they were dragged away by the wolf cavalry just like me!

There was already a fight at the back of the team. My team of 400 has now been dispersed, but the 200 behind Ralph have not moved, and are still trying their best to adjust their formation.

I almost burst out laughing!

"Ralph!" I ran over and rolled over and yelled, "Behind! Rush me! ”

"Reggie! Call those fools back! I pointed to the team that was chasing out not far away.

There was chaos at the back of the group, and when we were able to cover the past, the orcs immediately retreated quickly.

Their mounts are perfectly capable of fighting one against three! Yes! It's their mount! Wolves! That's the biggest wolf I've ever seen!

The orcs have retreated! Leave a corpse behind!

Gavinrad was roaring again, and I wanted to stand far away and count the numbers and see my wounded. But I still didn't escape the end of being dragged to be lectured.

We lost seventy-seven dead and one hundred and sixteen. There were only twenty-one orcs and their mounts left!

The hapless commander stared at a few of us, mainly his men, and his more solemn face made me feel depressed and bored.

"At this time, if he finds someone to take charge or accuses his subordinates, he is a fool." I whispered to Reggie.

However, the result was different from what I thought, although he still did not have a good face, he did not insult or accuse any of the officers.

But I was still dissatisfied with his arrangement, and after discussing it for a long time, I felt that my 400 or so people might be sent to death next!

I stared at Gavinrad viciously. "Hey, sir. It's okay for us 400 to be pioneers, but I'm afraid we won't be able to come back if we go into the jungle like this. ”

The people around were silent.

"Are you questioning me?"

"Now the scouts can't even figure out the location of the orc troops, and we can't move forward now."

"I know this forest better than you do, shouldn't you be ashamed that your team scattered when it was attacked, Colonel? All we encountered were small forces of orcs, who wanted to disrupt our attack or confuse our attack. The forest is not very large, and your men need to make a safe passage before dark to get our troops to the pass. ”

"But as you saw just now, our battle loss ratio to the orcs is 1:10! Now if you scatter, it is very easy to be broken by them. ”

"Do you mean you don't dare to go?" He looked at me.

He's provoking me!

"We will have a better chance of surviving together!"

"We need your vanguard to quickly take that pass on the other side of the forest! One is to cut off their way to escape, and the other is to find their location as soon as possible, or annihilate their squads to reduce the pressure on the follow-up troops! If the pressure of the follow-up troops is not guaranteed, the battle will be lost. ”

"But ......"

"The warriors of Alterac shouldn't be afraid of such brutes! That's right, Colonel! ”

"What about the follow-up support?" I asked, "Who is our backup?" ”

"Friese will lead three hundred men after you." Gavinrad said, "I won't let you die in vain!" Rest assured. ”
