vs 77 Letter of Shikan
The first tentative assault of the two orc armies ended with an order to retreat from Shikan, but the battle was not over, nor was the battle on the night of the 21st.
At three o'clock in the morning,
Cabe personally commanded his main army to raid his humble camp from the flank of Shikan.
The two sides fought a large-scale battle under the dark night sky, on the white grassland snow... The battle lasted more than six hours and ended with an order to retreat.
The Cabe Command Post Department chased ten miles before withdrawing to the Namei Toma Racecourse.
"Damn the rocks. Riplo, who returned to the command post, threw down his weapon fiercely, "He doesn't deserve to be called an orc at all, he's just a mouse." ”
"A cunning mouse. "What I feared has happened, I'm not going to face us head-on at all, he wants to drag the war back... Drag us down. ”
"Our supplies will last up to five days. Shi Bo didn't have too much anger, but there was a look of anxiety between his eyebrows.
"In these two battles, Shikan obviously lost more. Cabe said resolutely: "He thinks about it, then let's spend it like this, order the troops, rest for two hours and then continue the attack." ”
...
In the fort area, Pedi slept peacefully because of the infighting between the orcs.
The burning fires and the soft bearskin blankets are a paradise for Pedi, who has been in the ice and snow for nearly half a month.
But this feeling of comfort and paradise did not last long.
When the day is just dawning,
Adjutant Knight Oldwood knocks on the door, waking Pedy from his sleep.
"My lord, it's the letter from Shikan-Silveraxe, which we brought back from our scouts near Nameto Racecourse. The young knight saw his master's displeasure, and he quickly explained, "The scout said that the orcs told him that you need to open it yourself. ”
Pedi looked puzzled, he stared at the letter,
The envelope was made of bamboo tubes, delicately made, and carved with a wolf-shaped pattern that Pedi had never seen before.
Seeing that he had not spoken, the Otwood knight asked, "Do you need me to open it?"
"Open it. Pedi nodded, subconsciously imagining the contents of the letter.
show off force,
Or do you keep asking for gold?
"Click" The young knight looked at the bamboo tube that had been opened, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart... There are no traps set up for any conspiracy.
Inside the bamboo tube, the high-quality parchment letterhead is rolled into a roll, and the white orchid patterns printed around it are even inlaid with gold powder.
This was the paper used by the upper nobility of the empire for important diplomatic letters.
"Rustle"
Pedi slowly opened it, and the words written on it were comparable to those copied by the scribes of the Imperial court.
Neat imperial writing,
Represents the Orcs in the Research Empire.
And the nobles of the empire know nothing about the current orcs.
But soon, the surprise on Pedi's face turned to anger because of the neat imperial writing,
He was shocked and outraged by the contents of the letter.
"Shikan-Silver Axe!" the holy power around Pei Di continued to flash.
The Otwood Knight next to him only felt that the skin on his cheeks was very tingling by the suppression of the holy power, and he subconsciously took a step back, and buried his head lower.
"Huh"
Pei Di stood up suddenly, looked at his adjutant and roared coldly, "Pass my order, all arms for battle." ”
The Oldwood knight was stunned and looked up, thinking he had misheard.
"Not yet!" said Pedy, who had lost his patience, picked up the whip from the shelf next to him and whipped it down.
"Smack"
The whip struck the shoulder armor of the Otwood Knight,
It doesn't hurt,
But Otwood's heart was pounding, he had never seen Pedy's anger so heavy.
He quickly turned around,
Then leave as fast as you can to convey the order.
Ten minutes later,
As Pedi was fully armed and ready to leave the fort for the main camp on the flank, Sir Bowenright suddenly appeared and blocked his way.
"My lord, why are you preparing for battle?" asked the old sir.
"For honor and family. Pedy stared condescendingly at the old knight, who was only wearing a dressing gown and shivering in the wind and snow, and roared, "Are you trying to stop me from getting my honor?"
"You're going to war on the orcs?" said Sir Bowenlet, who was so cold that he was a little shuddered, but he didn't mean to get out of the way, he looked up into Pedy's eyes and said, "With all due respect, it's stupid to do. ”
"Everyone does a few stupid things in their life, I am mortal, not a saint. Pedi said, "The Stone Can-Silver Axe was exchanged for my brother's corpse, and I was asked to cooperate with him in flanking the orcs of the Nameto Horse Farm. ”
"Omar... Earl?" the old sir was stunned.
"Yes, so I have to go. Pedi's tone was unmistakable.
Yes, he had to go.
Even if it would cost many soldiers' lives, he would still go.
He was a member of the Reagan family,
He was born with the right to make the soldiers pay for his waywardness.
Sir Bowenright looked at Pedi and met Pedy's eyes.
After more than ten seconds, the old knight silently moved out of the way, he looked at the back of Pedy leaving, and said to the adjutant Growphilo, who had come to put on his fluffy cloak, "Hurry up and inform Count Anse." ”
...
No one could stop Pedy's will at this time, not even Count Anse.
Moreover, most of the officers in the army, including the Earl of Bane, did not object to Pedi's approach, as they also hoped to retrieve the body of Count Omar.
At three o'clock in the morning of November 22, 335 in the imperial calendar,
Cabe commanded his army to attack the Shikan camp again, and this was the sixth time today that Cabe had personally led his army in a charge.
Half an hour after the two sides fought,
The Kru Guards and the Third Legion, which had been lying in ambush in the ice and snow for two hours, suddenly attacked the rear of Cabe's department.
It was a successful raid.
In just an hour, Pedi's army had invaded the interior of the horse farm.
Now, Cabe and his tens of thousands of troops are in danger of being encircled.
But to everyone's shock, Cabe did not choose to break through,
His army paid no attention to the human army behind him, and after the capture of the horse farm, he used almost all his strength to frantically assault the army of Shikan.
This time, Shikan did not retreat again,
And Pedi's army was not continuing to advance.
In the narrow steppes west of Nemeto, two identical armies attacked each other for a whole night.
On the 23rd, at three o'clock in the morning,
Pedi's scouts told him, "The army of Shikan-Silveraxe has brought at least five banner regiments. ”
Baron Danmen, the head of military intelligence, paid for the wrong information, was fined a year's salary, and demoted.
Three hours later,
When Pedi led his army back to the Corway Glades, the Don Wright Knight approached Pedi and told him the bad news: "The Wolf Cavalry Banner Regiment of Shikan is galloping on the official road north of Twak City. ”
Half an hour later,
Pedy's cousin, Andy Barrett, arrives in the defence and gives Pedi more accurate news.
The two light cavalry regiments of the 17th Banner Regiment of the Orcs besieged by Bolenburg were attacked by the wolf cavalry of Shikan and retreated to the northeast.
At this moment, the wolf cavalry of Shikan is rapidly attacking the rear of the Covey Woodland!
