Heart of Empire Chapter 168: To fight or not to fight?

Dane's guess is taken seriously.

At about ten o'clock in the night, Sir Marlin, a powerful sky knight, personally came before Dane who had just set up camp in the middle of the night.

A few hours ago, after Sir Marin learned of Dane's speculation, he immediately led the team himself and pulled up three teams, intending to go close to the sky above the detected orc army and investigate carefully. The enemy's army configuration, personnel composition, and team number.

This information is valuable. The configuration of the army determines how to judge the enemy's strength at the command level. It is not rigorous to judge only by the number of people. The composition of personnel, such as which clans this orc army is composed of. The most noteworthy thing is the number of this orc army. After figuring out their serial numbers, they can basically figure out whether this group of orcs came from under the Beast Blood Fort.

This time, Marin's intelligence investigation was basically exhaustive. Not only did he figure out the size and configuration of the orc army, but he was 100% sure in front of Dane, completely confirming Dane's conjecture—these orcs really came from the Beast Blood Fort.

In order to confirm the accuracy of this information, Marin lost an arm, plus a team of sword falcon knights.

When the leader of the sword falcon knights landed in front of Dane, his face was pale, his whole body was crumbling, his right arm wrapped in a rag was still dripping blood, Half of Sword Falcon's body was dyed red.

"Cecilia! Cecilia! Hurry up and save someone! Why are you the only one back?" Dane asked, calling Cecilia over.

Sir Marlin showed a miserable smile, and said: "A squad has died, and the other brothers have already reported to Morno. I can't last that far. I will come to you first to see if I can save a life. survive."

"That's right." Dane nodded.

The high-ranking priest Cecilia came to the side, and after a few consecutive spells of hemostasis, healing, and pain relief, Sir Marin's face regained its color.

"Can you get the arm back?" Dane asked.

Cecilia shook her head and said, "I can't help it. If Sir Marlin can get his arm back, he may be able to connect it with the spell of [Severed Limb Reconnection]. But the complete [Rebirth of Broken Limb], that is a six-ring spell, I can't do it."

Marin smiled, as if he didn't care much about the arm he lost: "Forget it, I will definitely not get it back if I look for it. I probably don't know which wyvern's hand I have. I'm staying in my stomach."

"Is it so tragic?"

"Yes." Marin sighed with emotion, "Old opponents, the Wyvern Centuries of the Rib Clan, if we hadn't wiped out more than half of their numbers when they were in Beast Blood Fort, This time, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."

"Can you be sure that they are 100% from Beast Blood Castle?"

"It's definitely possible. We fought with these orcs for more than half a year in Beast Blood Castle. I broke my hand, but my eyes are not blind. I must recognize them."

"Then... this means that the orc army has withdrawn?"

"I'm not sure yet." Marin shook his head and said, "The follow-up large army hasn't been detected yet, so we probably don't have the ability to do so. If the orc army isn't here, we won't be able to find it. Come out. If the army of orcs is here, it is estimated that when we find it, we will have to face the siege of an unknown number of wyverns, and we will definitely not be able to return to deliver the news."

"What about your own opinion?"

"Don't you have a very positive idea? Why are you asking me?"

"You are more familiar with the orc army."

"I think you guessed right."

"I think so too."

……

Dane guessed that the 20,000 main orc army had all retreated. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for them to just send out an army of 4,000 people to sweep the rear, which is undoubtedly a stupid thing.

Think about it, an army of 4,000 people is already a large force. After such an army was divided, the army remaining in Beast Blood Fortress was reduced by one-fifth. Could it be that the orcs were not afraid that Governor Oze would immediately lead his army out of the Beast's Blood Fort after he noticed it?

The comparison between the orc army and the governor of Ou Ze in terms of military strength was originally equal to each other. As long as the orcs dare to divide their troops, Oze will attack from the Beast's Blood Castle, plus multiple strongholds, castles, and towns on the entire defense line will attack at the same time. , and then eat it dry and wipe it off without leaving a single one.

As for the 4,000 soldiers who were separated and returned to the Eastern Wasteland, whether they can kill Morno's Eastern Expeditionary Army is still a matter of debate!

According to this analysis, leaving the main force to die in Beast Blood Castle, and then sending out a force to deal with Morno, this must be an extremely bad choice for the orcs. Of course, if the leaders of the three major clans of the orcs all show off their heads and really issue such an order, that would be a great thing~IndoMTL.com~ The Eastern Expeditionary Army only needs to hold on to the four thousand The attack of the orcs, or simply defeat them, and then go back to fight with Governor Ozer to beat the dogs locked in the defense line of the human castle, will be able to kill the orcs who have threatened the eastern border of Schindler for decades. The main forces of the three major clans were completely wiped out.

But all in all, no matter what the facts are, it is impossible for Dane's forces and the Pure Sword Mercenary Group to stop there.

In the early morning of the second day, before dawn, Dane hastily kicked all the soldiers out of bed, quickly packed up the temporary territory, and led the whole army towards the north again.

On the afternoon of January 17th, the army led by Dane finally merged with Morno's army. At the same time, there was also an army of more than 500 people led by Chapple.

The reunited Eastern Expeditionary Army returned to a size of more than 2,500 people. The Smir mercenary regiment in Jayer did not come back for a long time, and in the evening, they received bad news-Smir was bitten by an orc on the way to retreat, and the 4,000-strong orc army turned around. The entire mercenary group was swallowed up in one fell swoop, and Jieer himself was nowhere to be found.

The Great War is about to start, and the Eastern Expeditionary Army will suffer a bloodbath first. No matter how unimportant the Smir mercenary group is, after all, the number of people here, the size of 500 people is equivalent to one-sixth of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

With 3,000 people, Morno dared to fight head-on with the orc army, and won the battle. Two thousand five hundred people versus four thousand... Moreno must weigh it.
