Volume III Kuroshio 79 Retreat
Abandon ship!
That's what came to my mind right away. A voice from the cabin told me that we were going to choke on the next fight. I yelled to retreat, then turned around and ran. Lying on the side of the boat, I looked down to see if he was quite tall! Turning my head and seeing the orcs rushing out, I rolled over and jumped into the sea.
I'm still a little sick in my chest, and I almost choke when I jump into the cold water.
Hurriedly dive into the water, swim to the back of the boats, and emerge to catch your breath. Sean followed me right behind and we swam towards the docks. The ship's alarm bell sounded, and there were shouts and shouts from the shore. I wish my brothers had fled by this time.
We swam and drifted in the sea, and it wasn't until dawn that we got ashore. On the shore awaited the return of my brothers one by one. Thankfully, no one died, and everyone came back alive.
Everyone was very happy about last night's operation, and the safe return was worth celebrating, and the burning of the boat was a great achievement. Yuval asked Colonel Kafdan last night if he didn't want to cooperate with the attack, and he didn't know how they had won, and then someone in the team talked about their crotch-pulling performance in the last battle.
They were happy and proud, accusing Colonel Kafdan and the two commanders as if they were fools. I just smiled and didn't agree with them, but it occurred to me that I would have done if I had been the commander at the time. If I had been asked to take over the attack in place of Colonel Kafdan, would I have taken my men with that charge as well?
I don't want them to die in vain, and I ...... I don't want to be called incompetent.
When we got back to camp, Sean suddenly pulled me, I stopped, beckoned, and everyone quickly hidden. Sean is a hunter by training, and his alertness is unusually acute.
I crouched behind the bushes and looked around, spotting an orc scout in the distance. I pointed in that direction, but Sean pointed in the other direction. That's when I realized that there were two more in the distance.
I waved my finger, and these people under my command immediately dispersed, and the group of five or five touched in those directions. Right ahead is our camp, and now it looks like we've been targeted.
A few of them solved it without making a sound, but a few of us didn't dare to stand up and walk forward with great fanfare, who knows if there were any scouts around.
But when I saw our camp, I was stunned! The camp had long been razed to the ground, and dozens of orc soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, and the corpses were left unattended and thrown to the ground.
Seeing this, I broke out in a cold sweat! A legion of more than 2,000 people, which was defeated by the orcs?
Everyone lay on the ground and didn't dare to move, those dozens of orcs were enough for our group to drink a pot!
Hey, I ask you, if it were you, would you stand up and fight them?
Scold...... I won't, so I don't do that, and I'm not going to let my soldiers die in vain. There is a chance to kill these few, but not now. Our people didn't close their eyes all night, swam so far, ran more than 20 kilometers, and still hadn't eaten. I'm not going to let my men fight so hard with the orcs, and they're so many more than we are.
If I could kill one with one arrow, I think I'd consider a fight. But now they're the ones who can kill us with a single arrow.
Seeing that the orcs seemed to be almost cleaned, I motioned for a few of them to quickly retreat, and sure enough, these scouts were with them, and after they cleaned the battlefield, they began to call for those scouts, and when they found that there was no response, the dozens of orcs immediately became nervous.
They slowly pushed towards us. Broken! At that time, I felt that I would not retreat more!
They spotted the corpse and our tracks, but instead of pursuit, they formed a defensive formation and slowly retreated. That scene just now really scared me. When the orcs had withdrawn, I asked them to stay a little longer, and I went to the front to take a look, and only after making sure that the orcs had retreated did I get my eleven brethren up.
I was very hungry, but looking at the corpses in this place turned out to be a little disgusting. I looked at the compatriots who had died in battle, hundreds of corpses, and discarded food by the unburned campfire.
It seems to have been an early morning attack, and I was upset to count the campfires in the camp. Those men did not launch cover attacks and sneak attacks. They are here waiting for us to return.
Yuval saw my displeasure, and he told his friends about the discovery, and just as everyone cursed the fellows to die, a man emerged from the bushes.
The guy said with a shocked look on his face why we didn't die. I asked him what he meant, and he asked how we survived.
I reached out to stop the guys' anger, and I asked him where the troops had gone.
He continued to ask how we survived, and I grabbed us by the collar and threw us on the ground. I asked him what he was doing when he came back. He said to come back and see if there was anything alive. I asked him why he wanted to come back and see if there was anything alive. He said that the troops had now withdrawn 20 kilometres north of the attack in the early morning, and that he had been ordered to inspect the battlefield.
I asked him if he had any other instructions, and he said no. I asked him what about the people who went to attack Nanhai Town last night, and he said that they were probably all dead, or the orcs wouldn't have killed them directly.
Do you know what I think when I hear this? They're damned! I asked him what to do next, and he said that the troops had received a letter to go to Dunhold for support.
I pointed to the food on the ground and motioned for everyone to eat something and rest for a while before heading on the road. As a result, the guy was very dissatisfied and told us not to delay the time and hurry up with the large army, otherwise we would be punished as deserters. I stopped Yuval as he was about to explode, so he could save some effort.
Do you know what you are most afraid of in war?
It's not that you don't have food, it's not that you don't have water, it's that you're weaker than the enemy, it's that you don't know why you're fighting, or that belief in your mind that supports you to fight has collapsed.
I was filled with ...... Abhor.
I didn't chase after the guys, I didn't want to see them, maybe they would be happier if I died.
But that day, when I noticed the traces of a large number of troops on the road, I suddenly had a bad feeling that the steps were not facing east, but were very messy.
The orc troops that appeared half a day later almost scared our souls away! The orc army is on its way west!
Now I understand everything, the sworn expedition, but there are always twists and turns, although I don't know what the Battle of Dunhold ended up in a few days ago, but I estimate that the Dunhold fortress has been lost.
Quickly turn around and run back, I don't know if we can withstand the next battle with this offensive posture of the orcs.
We only dared to run along the edge of the avenue, especially after we attacked and annihilated the two reconnaissance teams, at any time there would be more than a dozen wolf cavalry galloping across the road, and they seemed to be the overlords of the avenue.
By the time we ran back to Tarenmere, the town was already full of soldiers. And when I appeared in front of Lothar, the expressions of the crowd were really beautiful, some surprised, some disgusted, some curious, I glanced at Kafdan, and the guy's face was especially unnatural.
I wanted to squirt him, but I put up with it.
Lothar asked me where I had been, and I said that I had done sabotage in the town of Nanhai, burned some boats, and ...... He kept chasing the troops, and gave a brief introduction to the orc troops behind his ass.
Lothar told me to go down and rest, so she waited outside the tent for their meeting to end. I'm too lazy to stay there and watch those people have meetings and meetings every day, and I'm even more angry that they should listen to me too, at least a little bit is good!
Tulayan found me after the meeting, and you know how I felt when I heard that the fortress of Dunhold had fallen? I wasn't too upset, but when I heard Zurkin run away, I slammed my helmet on the ground. And when he told me that the Stormgardians had sent reinforcements from the Wall, but were cut off by the troll army in the middle of the road, I didn't even know what to use.
It's true! At that time, I had a thought in my heart, this battle is probably going to be over, and I asked him if the orcs attack Tarummir, and he was silent when we had a chance of winning with this kind of terrain, this kind of defense, and this kind of morale.
He asked me if I knew anything.
I said I don't know. I don't know if I know what you're talking about. He said he had heard Lothar say that I seemed to know something to come. I said so what.
He said he wanted to know.
I stared at him for a moment, then told him I had nothing to say about the battle that was coming.
He asked me if we were going to win. I asked him...... What does it mean to win. His expression had already told me the answer, and before he could open his mouth, I reached out to stop him. I told him that as long as we could withstand the two rounds of the orcs, we would have a forty percent chance of winning.
He obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't say anything and left.
But I told him one thing, this battle is over and you can show it to your goddess.
He smiled.
The people in the town are evacuating, dragging their families with them, and the people here are really fleeing, and there are really a lot of things to bring. Pushed by a cart, pulled by a donkey, carried on the back of a large bag and a small wrapper.
Not so when Stormwind fell that year...... Hum!
The fortifications on the outskirts of the town were basically wooden fences, and it was too late to make any trenches, reinforcements from Hillsbrad were stationed in the woods to the west of the town, reinforcements from Alterac and Steinbrad were on their way, and Lordaeron had sent reinforcements again, and they were already on their way to land across Lake Lordanmere from the town of Stannshire's North Shore.
Do you know where the town of North Shore is?
Ha...... Now the big red man next to the king. That's the woman! Her family was the lord of that town when it was still around.
His broken family was also known from that time.
