Wisdom in a hurry means that people tend to have some good ideas when they are in a hurry. I feel that this is sometimes right, and at least when I am given a little time to think, it often happens that I am in a hurry, but not now, I can't be wise.

The first to evacuate the baggage and wounded actually took a lot of time, and I stood on the riverbank nervously watching the fire on the other side, thinking about when I would be less anxious, and I couldn't even remember what it was like to live a carefree, quiet and quiet life. Recently, I have been feeling a little sick in my stomach and I don't have any taste for dinner at night......

Just as all the wounded had withdrawn and we were the only troops left, a sentry on horseback rushed at us from the north with a trumpet.

This sudden sound of the horn stimulated my tense heartstrings again and again, and my heart trembled. Probably no good!

When I saw the horrified look on the sentry's face, the possibility of something bad was confirmed. For a moment I wanted not to be too bad, and maybe the trumpet from the north wouldn't have to be bad.

Self-consolation and self-deception are basically the same thing, and although they don't work, they at least give me a rough idea of what the worst limit and the upper limit of hope are.

The intelligence reported by the Sentinels was far below the lower limit I expected. An army of orcs and ogres from the north is slaughtering the town.

I don't know how the orcs will communicate, maybe they don't need to communicate, maybe they have already crossed the mountain and crossed the lake to contact them before they dare to charge directly so arrogantly.

"Go and detonate the explosives on the bridge!" That's the first thing that comes to my mind. And then...... I can't run away with anyone right now.

"A team of 10 people will prepare incendiary materials, whatever the cloth and oil, and I will bring them into the streets and set them on fire! Never retreat until you hear the horn of retreat! I jerked out my knife: "For Lothar!" ”

I'm running east along the town's avenue with twenty or so horsemen, and while I can't stop the army of orcs who don't know how many of them, we should lead them as far down the alley as we can. I'm not going to ask for the town, it's useless to leave it to them, and if I can burn some of them, then these old houses will burn to death.

On the one hand, I was waiting for the orc army to enter the town, and on the other hand, I was waiting for the explosion on the bridge. But the sound of the orcs marching was the first to come.

I'm not afraid of it's fake, if I have the creation god around me now, thousands of magicians, tens of thousands of troops, or strong enough firepower, I don't think I'm too worried, but I only have about twenty people around me now, and those thirty people have already gone to arrange incendiary objects, but this time is really not enough.

It's the only thing I can think of that seems to be useful.

And what we're going to do is use our poor bows and arrows to let the orc vanguard know that there are still defenders in the city when we see them. But it wasn't until we shot the arrow that I realized that I was dying slowly.

The first orc infantry to enter the city were all shielded and our arrows did little harm to them, but the problem was that after our arrows, instead of stopping their advance, they immediately launched a collective charge.

Set fires, now you can't do anything but set fires. The lit firewood in the alley lasts up to half an hour, and we can only turn the alley into a labyrinth with the lit fire. Let them go around for a while, maybe they can burn to death and choke to death a few!

And when I led a large group of orcs into the alley and was about to run to the west end of town, I didn't hear an explosion. I felt chills run through my body as I rushed onto the embankment...... The orc troops have already rushed across the bridge!

"Who was responsible for the detonation?" I asked eagerly looking back.

They all shook their heads.

"Withdraw!" I turned my head to look at the trumpeter: "Blow the trumpet!" ”

When I escaped from town with them, it was a small miracle that not only did I escape, but I didn't lose a single person. Looking back at the town that caught fire at the bottom of the hill felt like a world away. It was all there during the day, it was still in our hands at dinner, and now it was completely enveloped in fire.

The burning town seems to have attracted the attention of the orcs, who have not yet found their way to pursue us. Leaving here also indicates that Red Ridge Mountain has basically fallen.

The bridge never exploded......

I wanted to breathe a sigh of relief for my escape, but after a while, someone shouted, and there was a fire in the distance. The orcs still chased after them.

There weren't a lot of orcs carrying torches in that torch, and they weren't going to let us go. It's not that I'm worried about whether the fifty or so of us will be able to escape. It's whether the large forces retreating in front are retreating fast enough.

Horses are not much faster in this kind of mountain than on foot, and it is really hard to be blinded by the black light. If it weren't for someone chasing after me, I'd have gladly put on a torch.

Looking back at the distance between the orc forces and us, the thing that worries me the most has happened, their vanguard is getting closer and closer to us. The only thing that could do it was the wolf cavalry.

Once we catch up, our fate is basically determined to be death, or the kind of death that is torn apart. And once they catch up with the large army, once they are dragged by them, it will not take a while for the troops behind them to catch up.

This thought made me anxious, I felt that I might not be able to escape this time, and now I could pray that the Guardian suddenly found out in his conscience that he had come to the rescue with his apprentice? Or was it the defeated Leorik who came to the rescue from here with people? Or a god soldier from the sky, some big man jumped out and swept thousands of troops and killed hundreds of thousands of people at once.

Running away from me was cranky, but more of a desperate thought. I can't think of a better way to do it on my own. And I'm not a god. The guy who was running the fastest had already left us and gone to the front to inform the troops. If we don't catch up with the big forces......

Alas, what if we just fled into the mountains?

The horses were already tired and panting when running on this kind of mountain road, and the faces of the brothers around them were also frightened. I turned my head and looked at the orc forces behind me......

"Brothers, we can't run along the main road, we have to lure them away for the safety of the big army."

At this time, everyone was already a little tired, and this kind of escape like a frightened bird consumed more than the people chasing behind.

No one spoke, no one of them could make an idea at this time, but it was also ...... Where can you run? The ...... of this barren mountain

Suddenly something came to me. Wisdom comes from urgency! That's right, it's called making wisdom out of necessity! I turned my head and shouted, "Did you come with you last time Lothar came to Lakeside?" ”

They replied yes.

"Where did those gnolls retreat after the last time they met them!"

"North!" Someone shouted.

"Let's lead the orcs there! Maybe we still have hope of surviving! I shouted and whipped my horse. Light up the torches! ”

We turned the corner and plunged into the mountains to the north.

The wolf cavalry unit was successfully led away by us, and I was a little happier to see this. In fact, I also know that this is a great risk, and if you get it right, you may survive, but if you don't get it right, you may not be able to be eaten by someone.

But at least...... Here's the way. Not the way to do it.

Just then a troop of cavalry came up from behind us, and they quickly pursued us. I looked at this group of people in amazement, and it turned out to be Sander at the head!

"You're still alive!" He laughed.

At this time, I felt very satisfied to meet the people I knew, even though there were only about 20 of them, but I felt a little comfort and dependence in my heart.

"Why are you here?"

"Lothar asked us to help you."

"Don't come to die! Come on! I shouted.

"Maybe not dead!" Sandel didn't rush the horse, and his mount was clearly not that tired.

"Behind are the wolf cavalry, you haven't seen it! They're fast, and a wolf cavalry can take on three or four of us. ”

"Don't worry! You'll have a good show in a while! He didn't seem nervous.

Sure enough, after a while, several teams of men and horses rushed out of the mountain, and then the strange cries of the jackals came from the mountain.

"Where are we going?" I asked him.

"Where are you going?" Sandel asked back.

"I don't know! I want to lead the orcs to the gnolls. Where are we going now? I shouted.

"I thought I knew where to go!"

"I thought you knew where to take us!" I yelled.

That's how we got into the mountains. But soon there was a night-tearing roar behind us that told us to calm down.

"Thank you, brother." I just grabbed the reins and let the horse breathe.

"Lothar's idea." He laughs.

It was already after noon when they caught up with the large force. Although I was very tired, I was happy to see that the large army was safe and sound. Reggie was even happier to see that I was still alive and came up to hug me.

At this point, the march was much more soothing, and I glanced at Lothar beside me, gritted my teeth, and asked, "Last night I thought I might not survive." ”

"I ...... I'm worried too. He looked at me.

"How did you come up with the idea of letting Sandel go?"

"Didn't you think of it too?"

"I was thinking about a word yesterday, and I was in a hurry." I smiled, "It seems that it is. ”

"The gods are favored, and the light is sheltered." Lothar said it casually.

"That sacred book may be of use to you." I say.

"I don't know."

"It's your thing, and there's ...... in your body," I stopped talking abruptly. It's something that belongs to your family, and it's powerful enough to keep you in that kind of place that long. And doesn't it have anything to do with the Jackal's healing skills? ”

Lothar's face was expressionless, and there was no stubble.

"Did you report the battle to the king a few days ago?" I tried to ask.

"Hmm." He nodded.

"What about the Archmage?"

He blinked, "I mentioned this to the King. ”

"It's not a mention, it should be a request!" I sighed heavily. "What time is it now?"

"I can't control this."

"Isn't Medivan your friend? Defeat the trolls together! Aren't you good brothers from birth to death? You can send him a letter. ”

"I've been there."

"And then?"

"He didn't reply."

"Isn't it strange?"

"What?"

"I've told you before, Medivan ......"

I saw that Lothar was looking at me with a little seriousness. "He's a Guardian, the Great Mage."

"I'll just call him Medivan, and I'm not going to change my words." I say. "I've told you about him before, and the orcs have something to do with him!"

"What do you mean?"

"You were young at the time of the Troll War, he was full of energy, but he's not old now, is he? He only cast a spell last time the soldiers came to the city, but why didn't he stop it in advance? He can turn a battle around on his own! And the siege king is still dead! ”

When I said this, I suddenly saw that he looked at me a little strangely, and I couldn't help but shudder in my heart.

Oh, yes...... During the siege the king, he died.
