Heart of Empire Chapter 143: Walk with me
Two masters, Morno and Barocliffe, blasted open the gate, and four hundred heavily armed elites, dragonmen and White Wolf Fort infantry, quickly occupied the gate of the Hunter Clan's camp as a bridgehead. Three thousand human warriors swarmed up, and the assault team led by Dane quickly tore holes in the enemy's line, defeated their army, and completely disintegrated the orc army.
The entire battle was hearty. Although the dragon hunters had a strong sense of resistance, the gap in strength was indeed too great. Moreover, they were completely unprepared for the extremely imposing tactical choice chosen by the Eastern Expeditionary Army, which did not make any sense, and directly used abundant troops to press and take away the whole line.
The most brutal killing took place after the orc line completely collapsed. Being defeated is a very scary word. During the process of being defeated, the orcs who could not form a combat force were no different from sheep under the butcher's knives of soldiers—sheep who would resist at most. They were constantly being torn apart, then surrounded, and then wiped out.
When the warriors with weapons were killed, all that remained were old, weak, sick and disabled. Under the orders of the generals, the Eastern Expeditionary Army, who did not intend to keep any prisoners, set off a massacre.
So, from the beginning of the battle until the camp of the Hunting Dragon Clan was completely covered by a fire, only three or four hours had passed. During the battle, the orc warriors who were killed by the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army and the dragon people face to face were actually not many, only more than 200 people survived. However, in the counting after the battle, almost all the hunting dragon clans with a total population of more than 1,000 were slaughtered. Except for a small number of orcs who were defeated and fled during the battle, and recovered their lives, almost all the others died.
After this battle, the Dragon Hunter clan in the orc tribe was removed.
After evacuating all the supplies in the camp and sending the entire camp into flames, the Eastern Expeditionary Army and the dragons withdrew from the place that was destined to be burned to nothingness.
After retreating to the military camp ten kilometers away, the soldiers moved out the food and wine they had looted from the Dragon Hunter clan's settlement, and started a carnival after the victory.
In the barracks stationed, clusters of bonfires were ignited, and the soldiers who won the victory seemed particularly excited. They were laughing loudly around the bonfire. Although the food and drinks snatched from the orc tribe were not very suitable for human taste, they still didn't spoil the soldiers' good spirits.
The upper-level officers of the Eastern Expedition Army did not intend to disturb the interest of the soldiers. Although the soldiers have no military discipline now, people are not machines after all, and it is impossible to maintain a high-pressure state all the time. Especially after winning a battle, these soldiers have the right to enjoy it. In fact, the officers also enjoyed this rare opportunity to relax. Morno personally set up a large table in his large tent of the Chinese army, which was filled with wine and food,
Morneau, Dane, and some other important figures of the Eastern Expeditionary Army were all present. There was no music, but the joy was stronger than taking drugs. Victory, for men, is undoubtedly the best stimulant.
After drinking for three rounds, Dane saw that these guys would continue to drink and eat, so he decided not to accompany him. However, seeing General Morno's high-spirited look, he asked him to drink again and again, and he guessed that the warlord might not easily let him leave the drinking table.
However, in a blink of an eye, he saw the woman Alexandrina standing up and asking Morno to leave. Women always have some privileges, and they were quickly allowed by General Morno. Dane felt that this was an opportunity to get away from the wine table, so he also said that he wanted to leave.
Morneau is of course not allowed. He took Dane's hand and said, "Hey, brother Dane, it's fine if the girl wants to leave, why are you joining in the fun?"
Dane thought of an excuse, saying that his mercenary group had something to deal with.
"What's the matter? It's okay, we'll talk about it tomorrow! It's important, I'll send someone to help later!"
Dane had another idea and said that he was injured.
"Injury? Why didn't I see it?"
Now, he really has nothing to do, these words are just excuses.
Seeing that he couldn't leave the wine table, but at a critical moment, Alexandrina said, "General Morno, I have something private to talk to Dane."
Morno raised his eyebrows, looked at the masked woman, and then at Dane, as if he understood something, his attitude changed immediately.
He winked at Dane ambiguously, and said, "Oh, oh, okay, then you guys go talk, don't worry about us, we'll just drink here."
After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling Dane and Delina to leave quickly. A few guys who didn't know where they were going, saw Dane looking like he was about to leave, and planned to come up to continue persuading him to drink, but they were all stopped by General Morno.
Clearly, the General has misunderstood something - maybe that's what Delina intended ~IndoMTL.com~ But what else can Dane say? At any rate, there is a chance to escape, so it is a matter of time to leave quickly. As for the misunderstanding or not, we will talk about it later.
Following behind Alexandrina, the two walked out of Morno's tent one after the other.
Walking out of the tent, the strong smell of alcohol dissipated a lot as soon as the night wind blew. Hearing the noise from the soldiers surrounding the bonfire not far away, Dane turned his head and said to the masked woman, "Well...thanks for the rescue."
Delina said: "How can I thank you?"
"Uh..." Dane was choked and speechless, "What do you think?"
"Walk with me around the neighborhood."
Dane didn't want to, but the masked woman's familiar eyes, which were bluer than jewels, made him change his mind.
"Okay."
Following behind the woman, the two walked out of the camp.
A little further away, those noisy voices were gradually covered by the night wind. The atmosphere between the two has been silent, and in Dane's heart, there has been an inexplicable feeling of embarrassment spreading, making him feel a little depressed.
"Thank you."
Suddenly, the woman walking in front spoke.
"Thank you for what?"
"Thank you for that incident two years ago. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have survived. The Pure Sword Mercenary Corps may have ceased to exist with the hard work my father built up."
"Hey... don't mention that matter."
"In your heart... is it that unimportant?"
