Section 35 Attack and Defense of Kru (11)

At five o'clock in the morning on September 27,

The weather in early autumn in the central part of Kru is very cool, and occasionally cool breezes blow through the gaps in the mountains into the vast savannah, making people feel much more awake in the early morning.

In the northeastern part of the empire, it usually doesn't dawn until about six o'clock in the morning, but at this time, when you look at the horizon, you can already see the pale red glow of the dawn.

Pedi and his guards followed the flank of the retreating army, and when there was high ground along the way to look into the distance, he would stop and look through his goggles in the direction of the Sancha River, although he could not see anything under the dark night sky, but the light of the stars there was a sign that everything was normal, which could calm his heart a little.

During the frenzied hours, Pedi would ask his entourage almost every ten minutes if there was any important military information coming from the front.

He behaved a little impatient...

Especially when the day is about to dawn, every unpleasant action of the attendants will attract a violent roar from Pedi.

Pedi was worried, after all, it was still unknown whether the military strength of only two legions would be able to deceive the orcs after dawn, and at the same time, it was also unknown whether the orcs were really preparing a huge magic similar to the 'meteorite' in Biwest Town, and it was also unknown whether the eleventh and fifteenth regiments of the orcs were really gathered together

All the unpredictable problems made it difficult for Pedi, who was commanding a large-scale operation for the first time, to calm down, and it was obvious that he still needed to accumulate more experience, or rather, he needed to try more failures before he could become a real commander.

Victory and defeat are common things for a true commander, but there are very few commanders who can calmly face victory and defeat, and famous generals who can ignore life and not be obsessed with the victory or defeat of a battle, even if they search through history, they can't find a few.

"My lord, I remember you saying to Earl Anse when you were commanding the Battle of Banson that you like to think about the good side of things... So, you might want to give it another try now. Hades, who had been sent by Pedi to serve as deputy chief of staff of the Tenth Legion, appeared beside Pedi, and after a long silence, he whispered a word.

"Are you laughing at me?" said Pedi.

"Do you think I'm going to laugh at you?" Hades said with his head bowed and said humbly, "We have not failed, we are just retreating now, and you still have nearly 50,000 soldiers in your hands who are willing to die for you." ”

"You—" Pei Di subconsciously wanted to retort, but after he turned his head and saw the countless pairs of eyes around him staring at him quietly, he forcibly withdrew the anger and irritability he wanted to vent.

Pedi suddenly realizes that his depressed will has affected many of the generals around him, and Pedi seems to see in their eyes a stupid commander who is so down-and-out that he only knows how to be angry with his subordinates...

And that commander is himself!

But Pedi wasn't losing faith, he was depressed for other reasons...

In this war, Pedi wanted to win the beautiful to make up for his brother's guilt, and with the information provided by the 'Radiant Power', all his early battles went very smoothly, and then suddenly he was told that all his plans had to be put on hold and he had to be forced to retreat.

Although, it's not a failure, but it's a big blow to Pedi,

I don't know when Pedi began to get used to the compliments and compliments around him, and when he got used to these sounds, when a person got used to them, he would subconsciously become extremely sensitive to failure and opposition...

For those voices who oppose him are like opposing everything he has and denying everything about him!

But today, the orcs tell Pedi with the facts that he is not a genius, not the smartest man...

"I'm fine!" this time, Pei Di's voice was different from the perfunctory just now, his tone was affirmative, his words were categorical, he looked at Hades, and also looked at the many staff officers and the main commanders of the various regiments around him, and his eyes once again glowed with dazzling looks.

Although, there was still chaos in his mind, but he forcibly suppressed those chaotic thoughts, the whole person's momentum changed, and he became confident again, he looked at the people around him, and said again: "I mean 'I'm fine', Hades Knight is right, we are not defeated, the victory is still ours!"

"Yes, we didn't lose, we just extended the victory a little bit later. The crow's feet around Sir Glick's eyes narrowed, and he rarely smiled, "We've done what we can, and now, we're waiting for the orcs to react, but I'm sure they're going to fail." ”

Pedi didn't say anything after hearing the chief of staff's words, he looked left and right, and then hit his horse and galloped towards the distance first...

Yes, everything that can be done has been done, and the two legions were arranged by Sir Bowenwright, who was worried that the intelligence of Don Wright was wrong, and leaving the two legions would not only cover the withdrawal of the army, but at the same time, if the intelligence was wrong, the two legions could cut off the way for the orcs to evacuate the Jamich Grassland if necessary.

However, if the information is accurate, then these two corps could be buried there at any time.

But everyone believes that it will all be worth it.

...

A quarter past five in the morning,

The 15th and 12th Corps received Peidi's second order: maintain the current attack intensity and wait for the next order to come.

A dispensable, but meaningful order...

At this moment, the two corps commanders already knew their current situation, but for various considerations, the two noble generals did not refuse Peidi's order.

At half past five, the sky lit up slightly.

At this time, the soldiers of the 12th Regiment, who were fighting in the camp of the 10th Banner Regiment of the Orcs, suddenly found that the defense line in front of them seemed to have become extremely fragile, and soon, the scouts on the battlefield found that the soldiers of the 10th Banner Regiment of the Orcs were moving towards the camp of the rebel regiment at a very fast speed...

This information made the commander of the 12th Corps, Sir Roske, jump in his heart, but thinking of the combat order of the High Command, he did not order the pursuit, but immediately sent a warning to the provisional 15th Corps, and quickly seized the original camp of the 10th Banner Regiment of the Orcs.

As soon as the Twelfth Corps occupied the enemy barracks, his scout captain told him, "Sir, the orcs will not garrison more than one wing here..."

"Are you sure?" said Sir Rosk's heartbeat.

"Judging from the traces of activity in the camp and the clues left behind after the orcs retreated, I'm sure there won't be more than five thousand troops stationed here, and if there are more, unless they stay motionless for half a month, and don't eat or drink!" the scout captain was confident about his analysis.

Sir Rothke took this very seriously, and he quickly sent this information to High Command via the Blood Eagle.

On the other side, Knight Perridge, the commander of the provisional 15th Corps, who had been warned, immediately asked his attack group on the right to divide five squadrons of soldiers to support the attack line on the left, and took the initiative to retreat 500 meters from the main camp of the rebel corps...

But to the surprise of Knight Perridge, the imaginary counterattack did not begin, and the rebels did not pursue when he commanded the troops to retreat,

It's as if there is not the slightest sign of reinforcements in the entire rebel camp!

But Peric knew that Sir Rosk would never joke about such a question, so he became unusually cautious.

A quarter past six,

While the Knights of Perridge were about to join forces with the Twelfth Corps to attack the rebel camp, the rebel legions finally assembled a force and began to reclaim their main defensive line.

Twenty minutes later,

A new round of fighting between the two soldiers began, and at the same time, a small group of orc soldiers finally appeared on the flank.

However, just five minutes after the soldiers on both sides had been fighting, a disgusting unknown smell spread across the battlefield, and the next moment, the soldiers felt as if they had been in the first round of training in boot camp, their bodies aching to death.

'When'

'When'

The sound of weapons falling echoed in a matter of seconds...

The soldiers lost even the strength to take up arms!

After a few seconds,

With the rebel camp as the center, a strange red light suddenly flashed on the ground in a radius of nearly two kilometers...

"Hurry up and get our soldiers back, it's magic, an unknown evil magic we don't know!" Behind us, the magician captain of the provisional fifteenth banner regiment shouted to the commander of the regiment, Knight Perridge.

"I know it's magic, but—" Sir Richie stopped in the middle of his sentence, for he saw the truth that shocked him even more...

However, in the direction of Jiamiqi Lake, a huge wave that is enough to cover the sky is building and gathering and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Goddess above, is this in a dream?" muttered the magic implementation captain.

The sudden darkness of the earth made the soldiers subconsciously look up at the desperate scene.

"It's orc magic, and it's at the cost of their lives. The Captain Magician forced himself not to look at the terrifying waves, and he looked at the soldiers in the distance who were slowly losing their vitality under the eerie red light.

"I can feel it, but the question is, what should we do now?" Knight Perridge felt his heart pounding uncontrollably, his voice trembling violently, and he lost even the courage to draw his sword at this moment.

"What do you think we should do?" the magician captain swallowed with difficulty, and then, without hesitation, he pulled out the sword from the soldier next to him and slammed it on his neck.

Blood poured on Perridge's face, the hot temperature brought him back from his fear, and he looked at the mage captain who was convulsing in the blood, and the fear on his face gradually turned to madness.

'Sonorous'

Perridge drew his saber and quickly flipped onto his horse, the tip of his sword pointing in the direction of Lake Garmic, "Follow me, charge!"

On the other hand, Sir Rosk of the 12th Corps also made a choice under the control of fear, choosing to let his mobile troops retreat to the nearest commanding heights, while he himself chose to stay and coexist with the rest of the soldiers.

Farther away, Collier, who served in the Wizard Brigade, suddenly left his powerful Wizard Brigade and ran to Pedi at a great speed to report: "There is a violent fluctuation of elemental energy, it is in the direction of Lake Garmic, this is the magical energy I have never felt, it is enough to destroy our entire legion!"

Pedi had never seen Collier's expression of fear, and at the same time, the holy power that existed in the space was telling him that a powerful energy was gathering not far from here.

A few minutes later, scouts from each observation point set up at a distance came to report that in the direction of Lake Garmic, the mouth of the lake was breaking, and at this moment, a monstrous flood was coming along the rear of the Sancha River army.

"I should have thought of it. Peidi immediately reacted that it was the orc priest using his powerful elemental power to mobilize the waters of Lake Garmichi.

"Our position is still dangerous. Sir Glick, performing his duties as Chief of Staff, took out the improvised military map he had with him and pointed to a plain outside Harrance, "This is downstream, and Lake Garmich is flooded with enough water to flood here." ”

Cowlier immediately said: "Then what are you waiting for, let's move our troops to the eastern highlands." ”

"Hades, you go and deliver my orders. Pedi seemed calm at this time, and he advised: "Don't be too anxious, with the vastness of the Jamici grassland, even if the lake can be submerged here, it will be more than an hour later." ”()
