Heart of Empire Chapter 148: Cleanup

New Caesar calendar 217, January 6th, noon, sunny.

By the time the sun was shining on their buttocks, most of the soldiers finally woke up—and those who didn't wake up were all yelled at by the officers from their tents. It was almost time to set off.

After lunch, the Eastern Expeditionary Army finally set off again, heading deep into the eastern wasteland.

In fact, not long after they had wiped out the Hunting Dragon Clan, they had already officially entered the land of the Eastern Wasteland. They can feel this from the land that is gradually becoming more desolate than Hindler, from the yellow sand that blows and flies from time to time, and from the bright sun that seems to never set in the sky.

And from then on, Dane's map module basically failed. Unless there is a high-precision magic map of the eastern wasteland in front of him, which is fused by the map module, or he has personally traveled every inch of the entire wasteland, otherwise, in the hope of being like on the Broken Dragon Peak , it is absolutely impossible to rely on the map module to enter and leave the land of no one.

Under such circumstances, if the Eastern Expeditionary Army wants to continue to maintain its advantage in reporting, the only thing they can rely on is to spread out scouts and scouts widely and rely on them to obtain enough information.

After entering the wasteland, various situations became unknown and harsh. But it is not without good news, for example, the weather.

It's already January, and it stands to reason that this should be a snowy season. However, there is no snow in Schindler, which is located in the south, and there is no such weather in the southern part of the Eastern Wasteland, which is further south than Schindler. Let alone snow, even in January, at their current latitude, the temperature rarely drops to single digits during the day. It will be a little colder at night, and the temperature may fluctuate around zero.

However, on the eastern wasteland, there may not be two rains in a year, let alone snow.

If you want to see snow, you have to go north.

Actually, this must be a good thing for the expeditionary force. If it is really like the central and northern parts of the mainland, where you have to wear heavy winter clothes in winter, then go into battle lightly, and the transport team does not even bring too many eastern expeditionary troops with food supplies, there must be no way to move as efficiently as it is now. Will inevitably be dragged down by weather and logistics.

When it comes to food supplies, there is another embarrassing thing for the Eastern Expeditionary Army to face-they are running out of food.

At the beginning, when they decided to march in a hurry, the supply team also chose to go into battle lightly, and did not carry much supplies. Afterwards, no matter whether they were in the Broken Dragon Peak Mountain or now they had entered the Eastern Wasteland, it was impossible for them to get any supplies from the rear or from the White Wolf Fort. The road to Broken Dragon Peak is difficult even for a large army, and it is even more impossible for the logistics supply line to cross Broken Dragon Peak to deliver food.

Dane and Morno had already considered this point earlier. In fact, whether it was Morno's original idea of ​​breaking through the orc's defense line from the front, or Dane's choice of taking the route of breaking the dragon peak, after entering the eastern wilderness, it must be impossible to continue to obtain supplies from the rear.

This in itself is a very risky action, even with some meaning of breaking the boat. They are in the hinterland of the orc tribe, if they want not to be starved to death or thirsty to death, they must survive by fighting to support war and plundering orc resources to supply themselves. This person is also very consistent with their initial strategy. Isn't the purpose of the Eastern Expeditionary Army entering the Eastern Wasteland is to make a mess in the orc lair and force them to retreat?

When they were on Broken Dragon Peak, there were actually some problems with the logistics supply. At that time, Morno considered whether to limit the quota to last longer. But luckily, when they came out of the mountain, they ran into the Hunting Dragon Clan.

After destroying such an orc tribe, the looted resources are enough to feed and drink the army for many days.

After entering the wasteland, the Eastern Expeditionary Army was not idle. In fact, this was the beginning of the real war. Every day that followed was a huge test for this lonely army. If it weren't for the fact that many clans of the orc tribe had assembled an army of 20,000 people under the city of Beast Blood Castle, leaving the rear empty, the troops led by Morno and Dane would have committed suicide when they entered the Eastern Wasteland. Together, they can be wiped out on the loess.

However, the situation is about to be reversed now.

On January 6th, the Eastern Expeditionary Army officially stepped into the Eastern Wasteland. On the eighth day, the scouts of the Eastern Expeditionary Army found two small orc settlements. These two settlements should both belong to the Heiyan clan.

The Black Rock Clan, the Broken Tooth Clan, and the Rib Clan are the three largest orc clans close to Schindler's generation. Each of these three clans is a large clan with a population of over 10,000. Coupled with some small clans, they constitute the main force of the orc tribe in the southern part of the Eastern Wilderness. At the same time, it is they who have been fighting with Schindler's human army all year round. Now~IndoMTL.com~The orc coalition army under the Beast Blood Fortress, most of the combat power comes from these three clans and their vassal clans.

The orcs in the north and the orcs deeper in the wasteland rarely participated in the war with Schindler. There is no other reason, it is too far away.

After receiving the information of the discovery of the enemy's settlement, the entire Eastern Expeditionary Army was decisively divided into two parts. That night, the two small orcs with a total population of only about seven or eight hundred were taken away. The tribe was wiped out.

It's like attacking the hunting dragon clan, kill all the people who can kill, and then burn the stronghold to ashes. The news spread to everyone.

Of course, the Eastern Expeditionary Army did not want to expose their whereabouts. If they could not be exposed, that would be the best. However, they have a more important purpose than hiding their whereabouts: to let thousands of orcs in the entire wasteland know that the human army is burning, killing and looting everywhere.

Only in this way can the fear brought about by blood and destruction be spread faster and farther, and the spread of chaos will become larger. And as long as these things are available, then the orc army on the front line under the Beast Blood Fort will have difficulty fighting Governor Oze with peace of mind.

As long as they are unable to break through the Beast Blood Fort as soon as possible, the chaos in the rear is getting bigger and bigger. will be faster.

So, under such a premise, what is more efficient than letting those victims spread fear everywhere~IndoMTL.com~ Huo's serial works are all available at ~IndoMTL.com~Mobile users, please go to read.
