Heart of Empire Chapter 163: Bite
As soon as they returned to the camp, they saw the whole team hurriedly packing their luggage, as if something important was about to happen.
The soldiers also saw Dane and the sword dancers of the other three teams. They won't feel strange about Dane's return, but they feel a little strange about the sudden appearance of more than thirty sword dancers—they have fought side by side for some time, and the relationship between elves and humans is more or less familiar It's fairly familiar. Most of the sword dancers are familiar to human soldiers, but these new guys are completely unfamiliar.
Not to mention those mages and priests.
Dane didn't pay attention to the eyes of these guys. From a distance, he saw Delin wearing a leather armor and a cloak, coming towards him, looking very anxious.
Stretching out his hand and pointing in one direction of the camp, Dane said, "That's the rest camp for the sword dancer team, go to the squadron leader Pandorf, he will arrange for you, and in the future it will be the rest camp. Your direct supervisor."
The three team leaders answered 'yes' and left with their subordinates. For the other mages and priests, there are corresponding people to arrange them, so Dion doesn't need to worry about anything.
Dane looked at Delin who was walking beside him, and asked, "What are you doing? In such a hurry?"
Delin's face was not very good, he said: "There is bad news. Twenty minutes ago, we received a report from a Sword Falcon knight, saying that it was about ten kilometers away from us. The pure sword mercenary group is under siege by a large number of orc troops, the situation is very bad, please ask us for help."
Dane's face became serious: "How could this be? When did a team of orcs capable of biting pure swords appear near here? There must be at least three to five hundred people?"
Delin shook his head and said: "What we can know now is that the orc team fighting against Pure Sword has about 400 people, and there are wolf cavalry among them. We also just received the news that these orcs Where did it come from, and whether it was aimed at our operations behind the enemy lines in the heart of the orcs? I don’t know yet. The situation is very unclear, and we need to wait for further information. However, I have already ordered the troops to clean up quickly, boss, you Look, are we going to support the past?"
"Support is definitely necessary." Dane said, "Get ready to set off with the whole army. Patience, you let Pearl lead the rangers and sentries to the front. We must grasp the information ahead as soon as possible. At the same time , Delin tried to get in touch with the sword falcon knights, we can eat an orc army of 400 people, but I don't want to be stabbed in the back when I support Pure Sword."
"Okay, no problem." Delin replied.
After a while, the assembled army began to rush towards the place where the sword mercenary group and the orc army were fighting the sword falcon knight.
The troops in Dane's hands now, after several battles, not only did not decrease in number, but it became more. There are more than 120 horror ghost mercenaries, and the losses in several battles against horror ghosts are not large. The rangers and sentries led by Patience basically suffered no losses, and the number remained at seventy or eighty. After all, the sword dancers had to fight on the front line, and there were less than ten casualties, but this time Dane brought back three teams of sword dancers from Auriel, and the total number remained the same. The increase has exceeded the scale of a hundred people.
The most losses came from the mercenaries newly recruited by Delin in Shawan Port.
However, Dane didn't care much about the loss of these mercenaries. Anyway, in his heart, these guys are just candidates who are defined as cannon fodder. A dozen or twenty of them died, and he didn't feel sorry for them at all.
Now, the total number of core forces in his hands is almost 300 people, and there are still about 220 or 30 cannon fodder mercenaries. With such strength, coupled with pure swords, he can kill 400 orcs. , shouldn't be a big problem.
……
When we arrived at the battlefield, it was almost dusk.
Long ago, before the pure sword and those orcs came into sight, Dane received the news from the Sword Falcon knights in the sky and the rangers on the ground. Pure Sword undoubtedly fell into a bitter battle. Although they were larger in number than the orc army that bit them, but just like Dane's expedition this time, Pure Sword also recruited 200 idle mercenaries. .
To be honest, the fighting power of these idle mercenaries is really despised. Their individual strength is not bad, generally no worse than soldiers of the regular army, but their scattered discipline and organization make it difficult for them to be condensed into a combat-capable army. Moreover, these forces that do not belong to themselves are good for fighting against the wind. Once the situation is not good and they fall into a disadvantage, it is difficult to guarantee their will to fight.
According to the information sent back from the front, the Pure Sword Mercenary Group obviously knew that it would not be of any benefit to fight with more than 400 orcs. Hit and run.
Alexandrina's war command level is not bad. In such a bad situation, she can still maintain the formation of the army, so that the retreat will not turn into a direct rout.
But the situation is already looking bad~IndoMTL.com~ Especially those mercenaries recruited temporarily seem to be showing signs of collapse.
At this moment, the army led by Dane finally arrived!
Alexandrina saw Dane coming from a distance, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed on the face hidden under the black veil.
She shouted loudly: "Our support is here! Regroup the team! Prepare to turn around and face those damned orcs!"
Her order has been well carried out by her core force - the pure swordsmen. The two hundred warriors wearing white shirts and holding swords in both hands quickly completed the actions of stopping, turning around, and reorganizing the team under the orders of the captains at each level.
However, the other mercenaries are not so easy to deal with.
Looking at the mercenaries who were scattered, disobedient to orders, and intent on continuing to retreat, Alexandrina was filled with helplessness and anger. She said bitterly: "If these mercenaries hadn't retreated first during the battle, how could we not even be able to defeat four hundred orcs!"
Another deputy head of the Pure Sword Mercenary Group, the female swordsman Caroline said: "Delina, now is not the time to think about these things. The distance between those orcs and us is not more than one kilometer. We must be prepared to deal with it, hold on to the first round of attacks, and wait for reinforcements from Dane's troops. As for those idle mercenaries, let Irons organize the team!"
The blond shield knight riding on the horse also understood the critical situation. He said: "Okay, I'm going to reorganize those **** mercenary teams, you hold on, as soon as the team is sorted out, I will come to support you as soon as possible~IndoMTL.com~Welcome all book friends to visit and read, the latest and latest The fastest and hottest serial works are all in ~IndoMTL.com~ mobile phone users please go to read.
