Chapter 278: The Death of a Legend

The orc army has begun to rout, and with the charge of more than 2,000 knights and the various spell attacks of the wizards, the orcs finally can't hold it anymore, in fact, the battle is going on so far, and the human army is almost at the limit.

In fact, if it weren't for Su Lun's defeat of the orcs in the rear, forcing the orcs to send an additional 10,000 troops to stabilize the rear, this war is estimated to continue to stalemate for a while. Now that they have lost 10,000 men, the orcs are obviously a little underwhelmed.

The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in the anthill, and as time went on, the human offensive became stronger and stronger, the orcs counterattacked weaker and weaker, and the army was defeated.

At the same time, in the middle of the battlefield, the battle between Rogessus and Marquis Winter also reached the most critical moment.

"Hahaha, see no, your orc army has failed, you surrender now, I can consider letting you live. Seeing that the orc army began to rout, Marquis Winter laughed and said, but his current appearance looked a little miserable, although the wound on his chest no longer bleed, but his combat effectiveness had decreased a lot.

"Really, as long as I kill you, the human army will lose its commander, and the orcs will be able to turn defeat into victory!" Rogethus said coldly.

"Rogers, I admit that you are very strong, I am not an opponent, but it is not so easy for you to kill me!" Marquis Winter's face changed slightly.

At this moment, a terrifying power suddenly appeared on Rogess's body, and the blood-red light shrouded his body like substance.

"Bloodkill!"

The blood-red light spread rapidly over his body, and wrapped the weapon in his hand into it, the dazzling blood light obscured his vision, and his whole person looked like a red lightning bolt.

A red light pierced the sky, appearing directly beside Winter as if it were teleporting, and the giant axe in his hand brought out a series of afterimages, which slashed in an instant.

It all happened so suddenly. Winter only made a few evasive gestures before the great axe swept through, splitting everything that stood in his way. Rogers' speed was beyond the human vision, and in the next second, Marquis Winter was cut in two by the giant axe.

"Poof!"

Winter's tall body fell to the ground, Rogessus slowly got up, his breathing was very rapid, his expression was extremely tired, the palm holding the giant axe even trembled slightly, and the reserve that had stopped bleeding broke again, and blood gushed out like a spring. Obviously, the blow just now also caused him to suffer a heavy blow.

"You have cultivated dignity for a long time, and you have not experienced the battle of deep thought, you seem to have forgotten how to fight, didn't your teacher tell you, don't talk too much during the battle!"

Rogessus reached out and lifted the head of Marquis Winter, and said slowly: "Never let your guard down until the battle is over!"

After killing Winter, Rogessus held his head in one hand and roared, "Winter is dead!"

The sound was deafening, and it instantly spread throughout this battlefield, and even in the chaotic and noisy battlefield, this voice could be heard clearly.

The human army that was chasing the orcs suddenly stopped subconsciously when they heard this voice.

"Don't believe his lies!" At this moment, a gentle and deep voice sounded in their ears, and the voice was like a spring breeze, which made people involuntarily choose to believe him.

"Go on the offensive and drive these orcs out of our homeland!"

The human army, which had been a little hesitant, ignored the others and continued to pursue the orcs.

"Duraang is fortunate that you made a timely move this time. On the other side of the battlefield, several figures in wizard robes looked at the chaotic army in front of them and said.

"It's a pity, Marquis Winter. A red-robed wizard next to him said with regret. Just now, after seeing Marquis Winter die in battle, these wizards knew that something was wrong, and immediately used amplification and suggestion techniques to suppress the impact of Marquis Winter's death in battle to a minimum.

Seeing that the human army did not collapse directly as he imagined, but continued to pursue, Rogers's face finally changed, but the general trend of the battlefield could no longer be reversed by him alone, if he was a legendary wizard and cast a powerful range attack spell, then there was still a chance, but the only great shaman with this ability was entangled by the priest and several wizards, as long as he wanted to use powerful spells, those wizards would immediately counteract with spells.

The orc shaman couldn't pull out his hand at all. Although Rogessus killed the problem, he himself was at the end of his crossbow, and how many people could he kill on his own?

Rogsus glanced at Carthusian City, and then turned to leave, his current physical condition is not good, his injuries are serious, Suren has legendary strength, but once the orcs are all defeated, he will definitely be hated on the spot when he is besieged by the overall situation of the human race, and he understands that he can't do anything, although he has infinite anger in his heart, he can only choose to evacuate.

After making up his mind, Rogsus began to lead the orc army to evacuate, and the humans followed closely behind to launch a pursuit, with Rogess's command, the army finally did not collapse for thousands of miles, and the orcs retreated all the way, leaving behind a large number of corpses, and the scene was tragic. The human coalition also suffered heavy losses.

In fact, if you only look at the number of casualties, the casualties of humans are much higher than those of orcs, who have left more than 30,000 corpses here, and human casualties are as high as 50,000. In the ensuing pursuit, the orcs once again threw five or six thousand corpses away from the entanglement of humans.

The human army did not continue to pursue, and winning this war was also very thrilling for humans, and these soldiers had already experienced a vicious battle because of the fatigue of the journey, if it weren't for these priests to cast divine blessings, these human soldiers would have been unable to hold on.

After the orc rout, some people couldn't hold on, so the humans didn't chase after the orcs, and they also needed to spend time resting after the brutal war. But in the city of Carthus, some nobles did not intend to pass up this good opportunity.

In the battle that ended just now, these people did not go to the battlefield, completely hiding in the city to watch, and now seeing the orcs defeated, these people finally had the courage to rush out of the city to pursue the orcs.

After the victory, the human army began to seize the time to repair, and at the same time, the death of the Marquis of Winter also cast a shadow on this victory, as the legendary powerhouse most relied on by the Florentine royal family, his death greatly weakened the strength of the Florentine Kingdom, and also caused some deviations in the original balance.

The Florentine Kingdom is not the only royal family, there are not a few nobles who have the right to inherit the throne, among which the three strongest imperial electors are not as strong as the royal family, but they are not much weaker, the Florentine royal family used to have two legendary powerhouses, and now Winter's death has made them lose their absolute advantage.

The victory in the battle excites the human army, but Winter's death is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. A legendary powerhouse died in this battle so easily.

The next morning, the human army had breakfast early, and then set out to continue the pursuit of the orcs. Marquis Winter is still very popular among the soldiers in the army, because of the death of Marquis Winter, many human armies shouted revenge and began to counterattack the orcs. Coupled with the fact that humanity has lost more than 100,000 soldiers since the beginning of the war, the hatred between the two sides is already very deep.

And the orcs are not much better, counting the orcs killed by Su Lun, they lost fifty or sixty thousand people in this battle, and the remaining soldiers are basically all wounded, and their morale is even lower, but fortunately, the orcs still have tens of thousands of orc soldiers left in the rear camp in advance, and with these new forces to join, the orcs have not been defeated all the way.

Even, because the nobles of Carthusian City were in hot pursuit, they were seized by this orc army and fought an ambush battle, and after a battle, the soldiers in the hands of the nobles of Carthusian City suffered heavy casualties.

If it weren't for the human army behind them, whether these nobles of Carthusian City would have been able to return alive in the end was another matter, after being ambushed by the orcs, these people finally became honest.

With the addition of these 10,000 orcs, the human army did not press in order to avoid greater casualties, but the humans still had the advantage, and after the orcs retreated, the human army began to occupy those cities that were previously occupied by the orcs, as well as the gold, silver and jewelry looted by the orcs.

In order to speed up the retreat, the orcs did not take these belongings, but only transported the grain they looted, and the large amount of wealth made many coalition generals red-eyed, according to the original plan, those nobles who abandoned the city and fled were to be deprived of their territories, and these lands would be redivided among the meritorious generals to enhance the strength of the royal family. But this will definitely be opposed by the original nobles.

As a result, although the army of the Kingdom of Florence continued to regain lost territory, the contradictions in it also grew.

Su Lun didn't pay attention to the filth between the Florentine coalition forces, he was now paying attention to the orcs, the orc army retreated all the way north after suffering heavy losses, because they carried a lot of food, the orcs retreated a little slowly, and the orcs launched this war in addition to the difficulty of survival in the northern wasteland, another reason is to get a lot of food.

At first, the orcs still wanted to occupy this place, but after this defeat, this thought disappeared completely, and now their intention is to grab enough food to go back.

In order to transport these grains back, Rogethus personally led people to buy time, and Suren's target this time was this orc chieftain, who was seriously injured in the previous battle and has not yet recovered.

In the last battle, Su Lun opened a legendary skill point from the platinum treasure chest and a lot of good things, this time if he can kill Rogers, there will be at least a platinum treasure chest, this level of things is not something that can be obtained casually.
