Having killed the black magic archmage in one fell swoop, Chu Xiangqian's mind was about to be on chasing and killing the orcs again.

After the dwarven mortars bombarded the orc tent before, through the, although it was seen that the orc overseers were indeed killed, there were still a few orc generals, and when they were carried away, there was obviously still movement.

If this is saved, even if only one orc general can still command, he can collect a lot of orc routs.

Once these orcs feel that they have no chance to live, they will definitely think about pulling a cushion on their backs when they die.

At that time, if you want to break through the army formation formed by the defeated orcs, the dwarves and elves will definitely suffer a lot of casualties.

It's just that it's already night, and although the elves have night vision, they can't see clearly in the dark of the night.

Not to mention dwarves, don't look at them as good at mining in mines, but in fact, dwarves have better eyesight than humans.

Chu Xiangqian himself was able to achieve night vision because of the bonus of the game, but he chased and killed alone, and he couldn't kill much in one night.

However, this idea was quickly rejected by him, anyway, killing one would give you an extra experience, and the level 20 hunting bow produced by the game in his hand has an effective range of 800 meters.

Hunting orcs from a distance of four or five hundred meters, let alone surround themselves, it is not easy to find themselves.

The dwarves were ordered to put out the fires in the orc camp and loot the finances and food, while the elves went out of the camp and cleared the rout from hiding in the surrounding area.

Drive the orcs to the north as far as possible, and then rest in camp at 12 o'clock in the evening, and mount their horses early tomorrow morning, and quickly maneuver to the front of the rout, blocking their way north.

Strive to leave most of the 20,000 or 30,000 routed soldiers.

In this case, for several years, or even more than ten years, the orcs will basically not be able to go south.

The two elven lords, as well as the general of the dwarven shield warriors who had already followed, began to hesitate when they heard that they could destroy more orcs.

It's just that in front of the dwarves and elven warriors, the five of them can only agree.

This made Chu Xiangqian frown, he had also thought before that even if the orcs were defeated, it would not be a big defeat, and it would be the best for themselves.

Seeing the hesitation of the five lords now, I couldn't help but become vigilant in my heart.

Of course, it is also possible that the five lords are worried about going too deep, and it is possible that they will be flanked by the orcs in front and back.

So although Chu Xiangqian was suspicious in his heart, he didn't say much.

He left the camp as a red rabbit and started a night hunting game.

There are chickadees in the sky as early warning aircraft, and the big and red girls released rely on their excellent sense of smell and excellent night vision.

It was easy to help Chu Xiangqian find a rout one by one, Chu Xiangqian rode a red rabbit, a few hundred meters away, and killed a few orcs one after another.

The assembled orc squad immediately fled in panic.

Although Chu Xiangqian can't be completely wiped out at this time, every orc team he encounters, it will be easier to chase down the defeated soldiers.

When he encountered a camp composed of more than 100 orcs, he also relied on a sneak attack and used the skills of the gods to kill a wounded orc general.

Then he rode and ran away on a red rabbit.

When the orcs chased him, he flew a kite and shot the pursuers with a bow and arrow.

After killing dozens of them, the remaining orcs suddenly lost their courage and were chased and killed by him.

When it was dawn, he actually killed at least 300 orcs.

An ordinary orc has 400 experience, an armor orc has 500, a centurion has 2000, and a general has 5000, which is more than 150,000 experience.

Chu Xiangqian was also officially upgraded to level 24, and without much hesitation, he added 1 free point to agility.

Experience 300/5 million, Constitution 15.8, Strength 8.9, Agility 7.7.

These three attributes, physique and strength, are stronger than the ace of the orcs, the giant orcs who are three or four meters tall.

Agility is also several times stronger than that of elves, or even 1 times.

Chu Xiangqian jumped on the trunk of the tree in the woods, and he already felt more and more handy, and the distance he jumped was much farther than that of the elves.

It would be easier for him to hunt down orcs alone in the forest than on the plains.

Seeing that he had chased 100 miles away, Chu turned his horse's head forward and headed south back to the orc camp.

After he entered the camp, the two commanders, Iris and Oleg, hurriedly reported to him the loot he had collected last night.

From the black magician, several magic items were found, but all of them were biased towards black magic, even necromancy.

Not to mention that Chu Xiangqian was reluctant to ask for it, even after the elf got it, it was only discussed for a while, and it was directly destroyed.

In order to compensate Chu Xiangqian, the plan discussed in advance was to directly compensate him with 500,000 gold coins.

Chu Xiangqian didn't even have to think about it, he guessed that there was a high probability that there would be a cat in it.

But when he really let him touch the undead magic items, his heart began to hairy.

——

Among the remaining loot, there were more than a hundred orcs who surrendered, and Chu Xiangqian didn't want them at all.

As for the gold jewels, the orcs came to siege the city, and it was impossible to carry much treasure.

But there was a lot of grain, grass, meat, sheep, and ordnance.

It's a pity that last night, the wolf cavalry escorted the wounded orc general, as well as the corpse of the Overseer, and ran away as soon as possible.

As for the Wyvern, because it is a flying unit, the orcs, like the dwarves and elves, will not put the griffon knight and biplane on the front line.

Riptide Castle was the first to storm the orc camp and kill the dark archmage, and also stormed the orc camp.

This battle merit and the first merit can't be run away.

The meat sheep alone were distributed to 20,000 heads, and the rest was a coarse grain grown in the northern wasteland of Middle-earth.

It looks like a bean, has a higher yield than barley, and is hardy.

But this thing can only be easily digested by orcs, don't expect the taste.

It's a pity that the agricultural technology of the orcs is not as good as that of the dwarves, and the north can only grow one season.

The problem of food is the fundamental problem with the number of orcs.

Chu Xiangqian was not short of food, and the hundreds of thousands of catties he received were naturally transported back to Torrent Fort.

Even if dwarves and elves don't like to eat, it's still very good to feed big goats, sweaty horses, and Arabian horses with forage.

When they met with the five great lords and talked about continuing to pursue and clear the orc rout, several lords quickly shook their heads.

When Chu Qianqian faintly sensed that something was wrong, Seve walked quickly to his side and explained in a low voice.

After listening, Chu Xiangqian frowned and thought about it, yesterday the wolf cavalry retreated for the first time, and they didn't find that the flying dragon came to support, which was indeed a bit abnormal.

Perhaps just like the five lords feared, the orcs were also planning and carrying out some kind of conspiracy while the elves and dwarves were calculating them.

Maybe the orcs are already somewhere in the Boulder Mountains, planning to use giant burrowing insects to open a tunnel.

Or take a detour of hundreds of kilometers, intending to attack the elven territory in the west.

As for the troops that are worried about the surprise attack into the northern wasteland, they are likely to encounter the orcs on the wasteland and the rout of the orcs before and after.

After thinking about it all night, Chu Xiangqian felt that the possibility was not high.

He didn't take the assault troops and guard the north for a month or two.

It only takes seven days to hold off the defeated orcs, which is enough to wipe out most of the orc rout.

But a few lords said that if the orcs sent Wyverns and wolf cavalry to support, the casualties of the assault force would definitely be very large.

Suddenly, Chu Xiangqian was speechless.

After a while, Chu Xiangqian shook his head helplessly, since the dwarves and elves both wanted to see each other, there was no need for him to be so active.

No, just for a moment, Chu Xiangqian reacted.

Maybe the 5 Great Lords are not those excuses to worry about, they are just perfunctory.

What they really had to worry about was that they were too pretentious after the war.

It could even be so big that it threatened their rule.

The idea of the dwarves and elves in the middle and lower classes is simple: whoever leads them to victory will listen to him in the future.

Even if Chu Xiangqian was nominally, he did not have the right to command and lead them.

However, since Riptide Castle can recruit dwarves and elves, more people will run to Riptide Castle in the future.

Even if Chu Xiangqian had an agreement with the 5 lords, he couldn't explicitly recruit more elves.

But since this guy used the patrol battalion and construction workers, blacksmiths, and leather armor masters as an excuse, he recruited 500 people again.

The 5 lords also realized that there was a loophole in the Covenant.

They really don't dare to bet now, Chu Xiangqian will honestly abide by the agreement. And he may also say that he has not broken the covenant.

If it were Chu Xiangqian himself, there were thousands of dwarves and elves under a new force, and there was a high probability that he would not be able to sleep.

Even if Chu Xiangqian could not rely on the dwarves and elves to attack their territory, but if the population was lost too much, the interests of the dwarves and elves would inevitably be affected.

Chu Xiangqian shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help but think of the sentence in his heart, a general who can fight is far less likely to live longer than a general who understands politics.

Thinking about this, Chu Xiangqian had no interest in chasing, but he also pretended to be worried and accompanied the 5 big leaders to star.

He also offered to let his 1,000 cavalry take the lead in returning to the Boulder Pass, and divided two teams of 800 cavalry to garrison outside the forest where the Noel elves and Vera elves were located.

lest the orcs really plan a sneak attack and not be able to support it in the first place.

The remaining 200 men returned to Fort Rapids and were stationed.

When Chu Xiangqian said this, he felt that it was very fake, but the five great lords seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

The two elven lords also hypocritically stood up and saluted Chu Xiangqian to thank him.

When Chu returned the salute, several big lords glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

——

At noon, Chu Qianqian led his 1,000 cavalry through the Boulder Pass and stopped at a three-way intersection outside the Boulder Pass.

Chu Qianqian nodded at Iris, the leader of the 500 elf cavalry, and Oleg, the leader of the 300 goat cavalry.

Then he said with a smile, "Don't worry about the problem of grain and grass, I will send someone to deliver supplies to you regularly." After a month, if there are no enemies on the elves' side, you can go back to Riptide Castle. ”

Both Iris and Oleg knew that they didn't have to be stationed for a month at all.

In ten days and half a month, if the orcs have not been found to have made a detour to attack the elven territory, it means that the orcs have either given up their plan.

Or, they didn't even think about making a detour to attack the elves' territory.

The two of them saluted towards Chu, and after making some guarantees, they divided into two teams with 800 cavalry, one left and one right.

Chu Xiangqian watched the two teams walk away, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

The phrase that war has always been a continuation of politics is really true.

If a person who is a general or a general in command of the army does not understand the trade-off of interests, he will indeed not be able to achieve great things.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian's focus was not in Middle-earth, which was also the main reason why he was willing to take a step back.

And he can also lead people to the south.

It is actually a good thing not to have to fight for a few years or more than ten years.

Thinking about it like this, I immediately felt a lot more comfortable, and with 200 wild boar cavalry and 50 elven guards, as well as two elven chicks and two elven chicks and a dozen of their maids, they quickly ran to Riptide Castle.

Because I didn't need to rush to the road, I arrived at Rapids Fort at 4 o'clock.

As soon as he entered the castle, Chu Xiangqian summoned the centurion of the patrol team in the castle and several managers who were elected by the dwarves and elves to have a meeting.

The future direction of Fort Riptide was determined, and the people living in the north were recruited to open up the land for Fort Riptide.

There are also 2 dwarven boar cavalry teams and 2 elven Arabian horse cavalry teams in the future of the patrol battalion, which are divided into two teams.

Every half a month, after going out of the city to clear out wild beasts, wandering bandits, kobolds, and other uncertain factors that endanger the safety of the territory, Chu Xiangqian listened to some suggestions, and the meeting ended before 6 o'clock.

In the evening, Chu Xiangqian finished dealing with the distribution and placement of the loot obtained this time.

Thinking that he hadn't been home for three days, he was thinking about going back to the capital to accompany his daughter-in-law.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Chu frowned and shouted, 'Come in'.

I thought it was the custodian in charge of urban governance, or the commander of the patrol battalion looking for me, but I didn't expect that it was Luna, the chick who knocked on the door and came in.

Chu Xiangqian looked at Luna, who was dressed in a fairly cool robe and her face was slightly red, and she understood it after a little thought.

This is where the compensation comes.

At the same time, it is also to appease and co-opt.

Chu Xiangqian will not be rash, and he feels that he will lose face if he retreats once.

Or maybe they feel humiliated when they feel that they have done so much for the dwarves and elves, and in the end they are excluded and guarded against.

That's a child's idea.

What will really make Chu Xiangqian angry is only interests.

As long as it doesn't harm Riptide and its own interests, everything is not a problem.

Since the benefits are delivered to the door, you are called a fool if you don't eat it.

And if you don't eat it, it's tantamount to telling the elves and dwarves that you still have anger in your heart, and even have an estrangement from them.

If you have the heart to dominate, you should eat this benefit to paralyze the dwarves and elves.

If you don't have the heart to dominate, then when you should enjoy it, if you don't enjoy it, it will be a waste.

Got up and sat on the sofa in the Lord's Mansion, the study reception area, Chu Xiangqian didn't rush to push Luna down because he saw through the elf's thoughts.

Since this chick is a pawn of the elven lord, then he should treat her even better.

Even if you can't pull Luna into your camp, there's no need to humiliate her and have one more enemy.

Pretending to be chatting, talking and laughing with this chick for more than half an hour, waiting for Luna to relax and sneak a look at Chu Xiangqian from time to time.

The kid sat down a little closer and said a colorful joke.

After a few short paragraphs, Luna was already feeling hot.

The next morning, when Chu Xiangqian woke up, he suddenly felt that the fatigue of several days had been swept away.
