When they arrived at the North Lumber Yard in Donggu Town, the scout brought the news that there were now a large number of orc troops in Donggu Town, and it seemed that the ogre troops had just been stationed.

This news was a blow to us, as despite our efforts to get there, we were not as fast as the orc troops, and the information from the scouts said that the orc forces were probably more than three times our number, and that had to be done with our women. In other words, if all the troops in Red Ridge Mountain are transferred, the number of all our troops will still be far less than that of the orcs.

Has the door of darkness been opened once and for all? Or do they no longer need so many creatures to open portals? If that's the case, maybe it won't be long before I meet some orcs who I still have a good impression of...... For example, Grom. Hell roars with its son! Sarufar, Lexa......

But that being said, from the perspective of a bystander, they ...... It's heroes and warriors, or people who deserve respect and worship, but for me now, they're enemies, not idols to be close to, people who kill me mercilessly and don't even know who I am. How can I have a good impression of the enemy? Even if I have the impression that some of them are full of wisdom, responsibility, and even compassion, they will change their ways and stop killing indiscriminately, and they will be peaceful and friendly!

But I can't do it now......

If you can get rid of some people, you can achieve the goal......

yes, just get rid of some people. Maybe the war will end soon, or it will develop in another way. That's how I think, but ideas are often good, and implementation is always fraught with obstacles. The task now is to get back to Stormwind alive before we talk about anything else.

As far as the matter of reconnoitring the enemy's situation and covering the troops is concerned, I still don't feel at ease about handing it over to them, especially since I am doing this myself, so I am even more worried about who will put my life in the hands of them. I only brought a few people with me, and it was easy to get things done with fewer people. At the same time, he also sent a herald to bypass the enemy troops and hurry to Stormwind to report the situation.

We've been following the orc forces all the time, and I can make sure that the orcs keep the heralds passing the news of this place to the troops behind us without noticing us. That's the only thing I can do, it's almost impossible to surpass them. But the fact that the large forces are always following behind will be more and more risky, and we cannot afford any attack.

When I passed through Green Village again, it was only about a day's journey from Shining Gold, and every time the herald came back with a message, I would ask if there was any news from Stormwind, but so far we still haven't received any instructions from Stormwind. I don't know if it's because of the inefficiency of the top or the death of the herald in the middle of the road, which makes me very unhappy about this matter.

I really didn't like it at all when I finally saw the scouts of Leorik's troops, and when I heard the news that the west was facing defeat and that the Duke of Vortagen had been killed in battle, I wanted to shout that it was impossible, and the scout's expression was not at all nonsense.

While being dissatisfied, angry, and shocked, I thought of a serious problem, that is, there may not be much left of the army of the Stormwind Kingdom!

After a quick exchange of messages, the two sides gave the final battle order before nightfall, and Leorik came to meet us with an army of about two thousand. That's not enough...... But I'd rather believe that this was the largest number that Leorik could send.

There weren't enough people to make up the tactics, so we were familiar with the terrain and decided on the final plan to cover the retreat. It's just that this plan is still very risky, and I admit that any decision is risky, but figuring out how to make things successful is what everyone has to do.

In the end, Leoric's army was able to give us a maximum of two hours or so to overtake the local troops. Actually, I don't approve of this, two hours of escape time is a tight time for us who have already escaped for two days, and the task is heavy and risky. I really can't guarantee what will happen to the old and weak women, children, and wounded if the orc forces find us.

And this may be the last chance to escape back to Flashgold and retreat to Stormwind. Alas...... In fact, there is no danger to defend in Shining Gold Town!

Before midnight, Leorik would attack with his troops, and he would come with cavalry to harass and lure the orc troops away. But if it is normal, the commander will be more vigilant when he is attacked and harassed, especially in the direction of not being harassed, especially in the back and side.

I didn't have time to participate in their assigned plan, and I was given the order to continue scouting and be a good microphone.

Leorik finally attacked, but the orcs were obviously not vegetarians, they didn't have to go through the trouble of setting up camp, and they would set off again in a while, so they reacted very quickly when the human cavalry came to kill them.

I immediately sent the herald back a message, and every half hour or so I sent a herald to send back the battle again. After all, the battlefield is like this one hour, and the next hour may be like a mountain, and I must make sure that Lothar can get the news at any time.

I can't see how they fought each other, but I can fully imagine what the situation was like, and when I found out that the orcs really weren't fooled, I wasn't worried anymore, and I just started to get anxious again.

If the orcs just aren't fooled, then our transcendence may fail. After I gave orders again and again, I got orders from Lothar.

I continued to scout and escort the wounded, women and children forward, while Lothar took almost all of his men and horses to kill.

Watching him rush towards the jungle in the distance with his sword raised, there was more admiration than worry. It's not that I didn't have the guts to do it, I didn't expect to strike, in my case I don't think the orcs were very affected.

I only faintly heard the sound of birds flying overhead in the distant forest.

The troops were desperately advancing, and when the herald asked me to pass on the news of the orc force being routed and retreating to everyone, I was a little incredulous at first, and in an hour or so, I finally saw the orcs fleeing! I want to shout hooray!

It turned out that Lothar's stubbornness tore apart the orc defense troops, one was to charge and feint, and the other was to retreat and set up an ambush. After breaking through the two defensive and counterattacking forces of the orcs, he completely rushed into the enemy formation, and directly penetrated the enemy formation and flanked Leorik back and forth, tearing this vanguard force apart.

Listening to the herald's story-like narration I want to laugh, I want to laugh.

I didn't ask the heralds if they had fought for two hours, and I didn't exaggerate the narrative when I passed back to my covering troops, but told them to hurry up and run for their lives.

The combat unit did not return to cover the wounded, women and children, but continued to wander near the avenue until we were far away.

After arriving in Shining Gold Town, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, not only did I see the formed army, but I also felt that the royal city was in front of me, and a feeling of imminent protection arose.

I wanted to catch my breath, but the news of the orc army making everyone I met nervous. The orc vanguard was scattered by us, but according to the scouts, not too many people died, and the orc forces assembled in three waves in the direction of Stormwind.

After listening to the report, I sat in a chair on the side and watched the generals discuss, and there was a familiar face full of embarrassment, he secretly glanced at me several times, if it were not for the large number of people, he estimated that he would be uncomfortable to death, he also knew that I was watching him, so he deliberately hid behind the crowd.

After the meeting ended, he slipped away faster than anyone else. I sat there waiting for the room to be the only ones left in the room, Lothar, Reggie, and Sandel.

Lothar looked at me and didn't say anything, just lowered her head and continued to look at the map. I crossed Erlang's leg and said, "There's something I don't know if I should talk about or not." ”

"If you want to talk about it, don't talk about it if you don't know." Lothar was not in high spirits.

"Do you think the town of Shining Gold can be saved?" I asked.

I looked at Lothar with his head down, and Reggie squeaked, "The last fight was successful. ”

"I said this time." I glanced at him.

"You've got to try it." Lothar said. "It's not very clear right now."

"When will our archmage arrive?" Again, I mentioned it.

The two men looked at Lothar at the same time, and Lothar threw away the pencil in her hand and said, "I don't know. ”

"There is a high probability that this battle will not be just hand-to-hand combat with real knives and guns." I got up from my chair. "It's not that I'm bragging, it's not that I'm talking nonsense, it's strange that the orc troops dared to kill directly when they withdrew from Lakeside Town."

"They've been reckless." Sandel said.

"They're reckless, but there are a few terrible characters in that group of orcs!" I said, "There's the one who started this war, there's the leader of all the current orcs, and there's some magic guys, ogres, orcs. "I said." Ay...... What about Morgan? ”

That's when I remembered this woman.

Lothar's eyes glanced at me and still didn't speak, but the look was silent and sound.

I sighed, "I'm sorry. ”

"What else do you think?"

"We need Medivan." I said, "And this is not the place where we're going to fight, and we can't afford to lose a bit." ”

"There is no one who fights without losses." Sandel snorted.

I glanced at him and ignored him, "Their magic was ...... when I went to scout Not to be underestimated. ”

"Could it be that their magic can shake the heavens and the earth?" Reggie's tone wasn't irritating, but the words made me uncomfortable.

"You don't need to shake the earth, you forgot who killed the bombing in Lakeside Town?"

"And how many of them can there be?"

"They just withdrew in Lakeside Town, and they didn't see anyone chasing after them on horseback, did they?" I glared at him, "I feel like the orcs who have returned to Lakeside have nothing to lose and something to gain. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Feeling."

Reggie and Sandel both laughed, "Brother, are you tired?" ”

"It's not a bad thing to be cautious, my Marshal Reginald Windsor." I glared at him.

"Okay, I got it." Lothar looked at me, "What do you want to do?" ”

"I'm going to investigate."

"There's no time, either withdraw or fight." Reggie said.

"Shut up!" I interrupted him directly. "We still have fewer troops." I pointed to Northshire, "How many troops are there here?" ”

"It's all here." Lothar said.

"The priests of Northshire?"

"Yes."

"What about the people there?"

"What do you mean?"

"Once the town of Shining Gold is lost, will the orcs go north? Can we save them? ”

"Your future assumptions don't show, Mr. Bill." Lothar said. "It's going to take more time."

"They'd better all pull back."

Lothar shook her head, "I can't do it." ”

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if Stormwind fell?" I asked slowly.

Lothar's eyes were still serious and calm when she looked at me.
