Volume III Kuroshio 82 Dunhold Defeat

The sun rose the next day, which I didn't quite understand, but I'm glad the orcs didn't bombard last night. In the end, Lothar decided to wait for reinforcements, saying that we could not afford to attack or retreat at this time.

The soldiers brought out all the oil and devised some traps. The generals came together to discuss how to guide the orcs to divide and annihilate them when they attacked again.

I told me why Lothar didn't agree to retreat in the end, and he told me about the battle at Dunhold.

They thought they could win the battle at Dunhold, but Lothar boosted their morale, and the morale was really high at that time. But two things went wrong when facing the orc army.

At that time, the defenders of Dunhold City had the whimsical idea of using the city as a bait to raid the back of the orcs, especially when Lothar's army arrived. That's a good idea!

And at that time, the Stormgards had already sent an army of 5,000 men from the Great Wall to support, wouldn't it be good?

In this case, we were defeated, and Uther was very depressed at the time, and he said that he didn't even think about how we were defeated.

He said that the elves had captured the leader of the trolls and tortured them inhumanely, chaining the leader of the trolls like a dog, and insulting him as much as he could.

I asked him how he knew about this, and he said it was General Haas, and he thought it might not be fake, catch the leader of the trolls! This is the first time for an elf!

This is the first time in thousands of years of war that the leader of the trolls has been captured, and Uther says that he cannot understand the excitement of the elves, only that the elves demand an immediate return. But was stopped by General Haas.

Uther said he didn't understand why General Haas was doing this.

Can you understand? Lieutenant!

If I were Haas, I would have refused and stopped the elves from doing so. Zurkin's life is a big bargaining chip.

The elves were not satisfied, and they wanted to leave, but General Haas gently and forcefully kept them. The elven general is a guy named Solana who abuses Zurkin as much as he can, then heals him with spells and continues to torture him.

But just as the orc army was about to arrive, Zulkin actually ran away! The elf gouged out his eyes, and Zulkin left his left arm. Ran.

The elves went out to chase them, but they didn't catch up, but they were discovered by the troll troops who had annihilated the reinforcements sent from the Great Wall.

Gee......

The elves paid a great price.

When Uther said this, I really remembered that there were not many elves in yesterday's battle.

Uther told me that after Zurgin escaped, he encountered troops who had come to his rescue. In the words of the elven survivors, the trolls are simply ...... Irresistible!

The trolls riding bears were invulnerable, and the elves' bows and arrows were instantly ineffective. The trolls, who don't know what medicine they took, unleashed their wrath, and the troll berserkers and some half-human, half-bear, half-human, half-eagle, half-human, half-tiger, and a winged guy they had never seen before unleashed flames that burned the elves to ashes.

The elves were helpless against the angry trolls. If it weren't for some of them running fast, they would have been wiped out. Solana ran back to Dunhold Fortress with dozens of survivors. I thought that the trolls would pull down their leader after rescuing them, but what General Haas didn't expect was that the trolls actually appeared on the battlefield of the siege. That's for another time.

General Haas was shocked when Solana ran back with the people, but in the face of the elves, he maintained the civilization and quality of the human nobles.

Hmph, if I were me, I'd probably scold him to death. But this general has soft ears and can't make a big deal, and then you know a little bit about those things in Alterac, and it has something to do with this guy!

Soon the orc army was approaching and was outside the city of Dunhold.

At that time, I didn't even remember to ask the people in the city what was going on, and what the surrounding farmers were doing. Ha...... Fall back...... If only it were that simple.

You've been to Dunhold Fortress too, in fact, the defense of that city is really average, not that I belittle it, of course, if you are facing humans, such as the Stormgards, they are not tall in the first place. Hehe......

That city was okay with the Stormgardians, but not with the orcs.

Uther said that the battle began with an overwhelming attack by the orcs. The outer city of that city was captured less than two hours after the battle began. And it's exploded.

Lothar chased all the way with the army, probably because of fatigue, and after joining the battle, he did not force the orcs back, nor did he disrupt the orc formation. And the army outside the city that was preparing for a sneak attack was already blocked outside the city at this time, and they couldn't enter the city at all.

The wolf cavalry was one thing, and what was even more terrifying was the appearance of human cavalry on the battlefield at that time.

At that time, Lothar's army did not meet the strange army of Dunhold, in fact, there was no chance to meet at all, because the army was quickly routed by the wolf cavalry sent by the orcs and the human cavalry.

The reason for the rout of Lothar's army was that the trolls joined the battle.

Ha, without mercy.

It is said that Zulkin, who had a broken arm at that time, personally commanded him, and many people saw him.

I have the impression that the mount of our southernmost forest troll is a lizard-like thing with feathers and scales, sturdy legs and upright walking.

But the troll cavalry under Zulgin turned out to be a bear-ridden! We don't know where so many bears came from. The bear was not only big, but also very fast. One thing is that it is not as fast as our military horses, but that thing is super explosive and can bite people.

The orc's wolf was big enough, but the bear's claws were about the size of a basin. Their armor is a joke now, but at the time, the two spikes on either side of the bear's body could easily overturn a man and a horse.

Our knights suffered a big loss when they hedged against the trolls. And the eagle dogs raised by this group of trolls were also released. In Uther's words, that's simply ...... Nightmare!

Well...... By the way, the army that Dunhold went out of the city to prepare for the sneak attack was almost completely wiped out, and the survivors said that the human cavalry was like the Grim Reaper, and they were first surprised when they saw the cavalry rushing towards them, but when they came into contact with it, they immediately felt a sense of unease in their hearts.

They say it's a kind of unconfidence, instability, or fear, and they feel panicked. And then there are the knights who let out a terrifying scream. The sound was so loud that it scared some people, and some of them had their weapons dropped on the ground.

They didn't know how to mess up the military formation, and then they fled, and the wolf cavalry caught the knights and soldiers who tried to escape, and they really split their bodies on the spot. They were so frightened when they recalled the scene that they trembled.

The defenses in the fortress of Dunhold held up for a day, still as the Confederates were pushed back by the trolls and orcs.

At that time, I did not know how many people were still in the city, and when Dunhold was completely recovered, it was found that almost all the people in the city who were able to move at that time had gone to the city to participate in the battle.

They are people, not soldiers. Tens of thousands of people in the city were all killed.

Just now, I said that the people around me ......

Alas...... They don't know what their lives will do.

There is no army of trolls outside the town of Talenmere, I say to Uther. He said he didn't know why the trolls didn't fight in Tarummere either. However, he said that it was fortunate that the trolls did not come, and that if the trolls had participated in the battle yesterday, the town would have been flattened. I also said that it is such an exaggeration, he said very seriously, not an exaggeration at all!

I asked him what about the Paladin? Didn't the paladins play a role?

Uther said that the trolls were not just bears, but the berserkers who followed them were giants, and that the colorful and monster-like troll warriors did not give them a respite. Just rushed over like this, they are really not afraid of death! This charge put a lot of pressure on the fighters.

And there are only a few paladins, there are not enough at all! In the end, they can still live, and it is not easy to keep more than half of them able to withdraw from the battlefield, and it is already very difficult to survive!

Speaking of this, I was stunned for a long time. I don't dare to ask him what he thinks about the next battle, no matter how difficult it is, he won't give up, but how long our army can support in this situation is really already beating the drum in my heart.

I said that it was luck or something to force the orcs back yesterday, and Uther didn't speak. The idea that we would win in my memory, and that we would win in the end has now been shaken. I was really ...... Belch...... I don't have much confidence anymore.

I pointed to the copy of the sacred deed that Lothar had given them with him, and asked him if it would work in battle. He smiled and said it could bring them luck. I asked if it improved your combat or anything, and he said it was. I asked him if he was big? He didn't answer me any more.

As a result, the orcs did not attack for the whole day the next day!

I leaned on the bell tower and looked into the distance, my eyes were glazed by the untimely sunlight, I remember the sunshine at that time, I liked the sunshine a lot, because I liked sunny days. Sunny days always make me feel less depressed. But the sun at this time made me a little upset.

I don't see what the orcs are doing, but they've built their tents, and they seem to want to fight us for a long time.

The wolf cavalry kept appearing around the town, they were far away, and now there was no way to run out for help.

It is said that reinforcements are already on the way, but God knows that we will not be there when the reinforcements come.

Night had fallen, a day of peace and eventuality.

Everything that happens on the battlefield can either be seen with your own eyes and then thought with your own brain, but I have found that women's hunches not only know if you have done something with other women outside, but they also have stronger premonitions about many things than men.

It's just that men's rationality doesn't support them in believing that this kind of thing is true.
