Heart of Empire Chapter 192: A bolt from the blue

At four o'clock in the morning on January 27th, Dane's army had completed its assembly. ＞One≧Novel＜＜

His troops have been stationed in place for a day and two nights without moving. In this short period of time, he has not assigned any other important tasks except for some necessary patrol and security tasks. Resting. And after this period of rest, the soldiers were still in full physical condition, even if they were assembled by military order at four o'clock in the morning, they were not tired at all.

Dane did not rush to order the troops to start action, he was still waiting for follow-up information.

Morno's luck is really good. He actually won such a gamble! Although Dane felt that Morno was very courageous and had a certain possibility of success the first time he got this information, but when he entered the orc army that was marching at night and achieved corresponding results, he would After the orc's troops showed signs of being disrupted, they still had to feel excited about it.

Even though he was unable to visit the battlefield in person, this does not prevent Dane from imagining what is happening in Shizuipo at this moment:

In the middle of the night, the orc soldiers were still asleep. Taking advantage of the sword falcon knights in the sky being driven away from the battlefield by the bipedal dragon cavalry, and it was difficult to return to the empty space for investigation in a short time, they lit torches one by one. , Under the order of the officer, they lined up and began to smear and move forward in the difficult terrain of Shizuipo. Suddenly, outside the torches, there was a pitch-black periphery, and a round of bows and arrows shot over, followed by the roar of the white wolf cavalry, and more than a thousand human warriors rushed into the orc army fiercely.

The combination of these three elements, the dark night, the complex terrain, and the unexpected surprise attack, Morno's operation has a high probability of achieving a very significant success. An army marching in the dark, with blocked vision and an unsmooth command system, can easily fall into chaos. The soldiers couldn't find their officers, and the officers couldn't find their bosses, so they could only fight on their own. Moreover, in the dark night, no one can judge how many enemies are coming ahead. If one point is defeated, the follow-up may lead to a comprehensive collapse like a landslide and a sea crack.

If it is in the military camp, this problem is relatively easy to solve. But marching in the dark and being attacked by surprise, the consequences can only be described by the word 'disaster'.

It is precisely because of this that Dane is quite optimistic about Morno's move. Even, there was still a little delusion hidden in his heart-maybe, in this battle, Morno might have directly dispersed the orc army?

At six o'clock, the sky had already dawned, and Dane also received further news: the orc army had indeed fallen into huge chaos, a large number of troops were running around without thinking, and the entire The command system seems to have failed!

This is definitely great news. The army led by Morno has achieved this step, so tonight's surprise attack can basically be regarded as a great success! Although the orc army didn't collapse because of this, they wanted to regroup the chaotic army—even if it was just a part of it, it couldn't be done in a short time, at least it would take half a day. Not to mention, if they want to rearrange the whole army, it will probably take longer.

With half a day or even more time, it was enough for the troops of Governor Oze, who were chasing after them, to rush to the vicinity of Shizuipo.

Not without bad news. After a charge in the middle of the night yesterday, Morno's troops had achieved great results and dispersed the enemy's troops in large numbers, but they themselves could not avoid losses in the dark night, and not many were killed or injured in battle. , but there are also many soldiers who are fighting in the dark and don't know where they went.

Of course, their situation is much better than the orc army. After all, they are the ones who take the initiative to attack, which will have a certain advantage, and the team is more closely united. Another point is that after all, he doesn't have many people. The difficulty of organizing and commanding an army of one thousand is definitely much easier than that of an army of tens of thousands.

Now, Dane has no way to get an exact number for the number of human armies that can still be united. After all, he doesn't have the eye of God either—although the map module can be used as a real-time dynamic map, seeing every plant and tree within the map range, and marking the enemy's troops, it is impossible to truly monitor the battle situation in real time after all. It was impossible for Dane to observe the specific movement of each troop as if he was on the battlefield.

But this does not prevent him from making judgments about the situation of the battle. I saw him decisively issued an order: "The whole army is dispatched and marched towards Shizuipo!"

He is taking advantage of the chaos of the orc army to take Morno out from the enemy! This is exactly the duty of the support force he served. The security of the troops that can still be controlled now, no one can blame him for anything after the war.

His troops are now about 50 kilometers away from the battlefield. If they march quickly, it will take about a day to reach this distance. Even if it is a quick march with light clothes and simple travel, it will take at least half a day. What will happen during this period of time, Dane can't predict, but he can only order the troops to advance, and at the same time, pray that Morno's troops can break out as much as possible, at least until they arrive.

At noon, Dane's troops, who had run more than 30 kilometers in the morning, had begun to encounter some small orc troops that had been dispersed sporadically. If such a small team collides directly, Dane will annihilate them without hesitation; if these guys have some brains and choose to avoid them, he has no interest in chasing them. Now, time is life~IndoMTL.com~ He has to hurry to the core battlefield!

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the marching troops finally couldn't stand it any longer. Dane couldn't force others, he ordered to rest for a period of time, eat a meal and rest for an hour before preparing to leave. During the period, one or two squadrons of small orc troops ran to their vicinity, but they were all driven away by the ranger troops sent out by Dane.

After resting for a while, Dane immediately prepared to continue heading towards Shizuipo. However, when the entire army was just mobilized, an elf ranger hurried over from a distance, accompanied by several white wolf guards.

The ranger reported that there was an urgent message, and these White Wolf soldiers must see Dane himself immediately.

For no reason, a very ominous premonition surged in Dane's heart.

He personally received these white wolf guards. The linen and white robes they were wearing were completely tainted by blood stains.

And they also brought a bolt of news to Dane:

"General Morno... died in battle..." (to be continued.)
