Heart of Empire Chapter 194: Political Legacy

The supreme commander of the joint force of Comilla Island and the Pure Sword Mercenary Group is undoubtedly Dane. When he made up his mind to lead the troops forward, no matter how much Delin disagreed, he had to follow orders.

Delin, who had calmed down, remembered that Dane also pondered for a while after listening to the narration of those white wolf soldiers. At the same time, he also realized that the reason why Dane led the army to step into the swamp ahead under such circumstances must have his own thoughts and schemes.

It's just that he really couldn't figure out what Dane was thinking during this time. A few times, he wanted to ask for clarification, but some orcs had begun to appear around him, putting the entire army on alert, and battles broke out from time to time. In this state, it is really not a good time to ask.

At this moment, Dane is actually still thinking about his previous decision.

In terms of tactics, it is not a wise choice to lead the soldiers into this quagmire. There is a great risk that he and his troops will be like Morno, stuck in it and unable to get out; Strategically, this is also meaningless. Morno's army has achieved the strategic goal of disrupting the orc army. As Delin said, now he just needs to wait for Oze to come up to clean up the mess. He goes in and dies. In order to save hundreds of soldiers from White Wolf Fort, there is nothing else that can be done.

But this is only thinking at the level of war, and Dane thinks about something farther--political factors.

Morno is dead.

Who is Morneau? His identity is not just the leader of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, not just a general who leads the army, he is a warlord who keeps his own army and separates one side. He controls Rotten Wolf Town, a city leading to Schindler. The inland transportation hub, as well as the White Wolf Fort under his command, and half of Shawan Port must obey his orders.

And now, he is dead.

So, whether it's White Wolf Fort, Rotten Wolf Town, or the half of the rich port, it is equivalent to losing its owner now. Of these three places, which one is not much better than Fort Hanhai, which has a resident population of just over 1,000? How could Dane not be moved by this?

With the support of great ambition, he came up with an idea: take White Wolf Fort and Rotten Wolf Town into his own hands, and then kill Ma Long and take Shawan Harbor.

This idea is very bold and greedy, but it still keeps growing and expanding in his heart until he can't resist this temptation at all.

But there is still some sense in his mind. He knew that if he forcefully robbed Rotten Wolf Town and White Wolf Fort, it would be tantamount to wishful thinking. There are still 1,500 elite fighters from Morno in the White Wolf Castle. Even if Morno is dead, Dane will never let them open the city gate with his own mouth and recognize himself as the new master. .

But those 1,500 people are absolutely impossible to get around. Don't say that Dane needs their support if he wants to control the two towns. It is very difficult to confront Ma Long who is eyeing him.

But if the soldiers left by Morno were recruited, things would be much easier. Not only the two towns are equivalent to directly falling into his hands, counting the power he owns now, plus those soldiers, I dare not say that it is compared with the power of Morno at his peak, but it must be no problem to challenge Ma Long. Behind him are Comilla, Auriana, and the bases of the other six clans that have not been released by the Heart of Dynasty. As long as he is allowed to stabilize his position and rely on Comilla, he can start from the southeast of Schindler and stir up the world.

It's too early to think about that, but occupying Rotten Wolf Town and White Wolf Fort is the current focus. And to achieve such a goal, he had to take more risks—he had to pray that Chapple and Redis were still alive.

The prestige of these two men in White Wolf Castle is second only to Morno himself, and they are the most ideal successors to the political legacy left by General Morno. Dane wants to incorporate the soldiers and towns left by Morno, so the two of them are the top priority. As long as the two of them can be convinced, then the rest will be easy.

…

Going forward at full speed, the orcs who still haven't organized a large-scale army basically have no way to bring any obstacles to the troops led by Dane. Soon, Dane found the main force of the human army through the ranger's investigation and the analysis of the intelligence from the white wolf soldiers he had rescued earlier.

Out of the more than a thousand soldiers led by Morno, there are less than four hundred left in front of Dane. They are being besieged by double the number of orc soldiers, and from the direction of Shizuipo, there are still small groups of orc troops joining the siege.

The only thing that reassured Dane was that neither Chapple nor Reddis died. Although it was embarrassing to see the two of them fighting bravely in the siege, but after all, people are still alive, which is more important than anything else.

Without any delay, Dane decisively gave the order for the entire army to attack!

There is no need to arrange any specific tactics, the Dragonman Squadron directly clears the way, the strong Dragonman warriors rushed into the enemy line, and then other soldiers swarmed up, coupled with the continuous shooting of the elf rangers, this part surrounded Cha Poole's orc army was soon dug out a wide gap by Dane.

Seeing support, the white wolf soldiers who were trapped in the siege also showed great enthusiasm for fighting. Although they were exhausted from the overnight battle, no one wanted to sit still and wait for death.

Under the attack from two sides, those orc armies who lacked command, even gathered together blindly and participated in the battle blindly, were quickly repelled. And this also meant that Chapple and Redis were temporarily out of danger.

After hacking the last orc soldier who didn't escape and was still stubbornly resisting ~IndoMTL.com~ Redis met Chapple and Dane.

Chapple had a lot of wounds on his body, and he was panting in a panic. But he still came to Dane, and said with a relieved expression: "Thank God, Dane, if you come later, none of us will survive."

"Is there only so few people left?" Dane asked.

Chapple said: "There should be more than that, but these are the only ones following me, and the others have been lost."

"Okay." Dane nodded, and said: "There are too many orcs. I don't know when another troop will come. We have to evacuate now without delay, so as not to repeat the same mistakes and be entangled again."

Chapple hesitated a little. He looked behind him, and saw that Redis was limping over.

The person has not yet arrived, but he yelled angrily: "Dane! Dane! You are too **** late!"

Sighing slightly, Chapple guessed this would happen. (To be continued.):
