"Campaign name: Morno Warlord Rescue Battle."

"Location: Orodek Continent, west of the Eastern Wasteland, around Shizuipo."

"Time: January 27, 217 in the new Caesar calendar."

"Enemy: Western orc clan alliance."

"Allied Forces: Morno Warlord Group."

"The goal of the battle: to save the soldiers of the Morno warlord group as much as possible."

"Battle evaluation: the achievement of the battle goal is not good, the damage to one's own side is relatively light, the overall evaluation: D grade, and the war points obtained: 180 points."

"Battle details: omitted."

…

Dane's goal is to quickly deal with the chasing orcs. Obviously, he succeeded.

The old shaman is obviously the most important reason why this orc army can take shape and catch up so quickly. Apart from the general of the orcs, only the shaman, who has a high status in the clan, can gather together the scattered orc soldiers in a short period of time.

And now, the old orc shaman is dead; none of the kor'kron warriors in a squadron he brought survived, and without support, they were all killed by the multiple blows of dragonmen and magic clean. Therefore, although there were at least three or four hundred orc infantry still alive on the field, the formation had been torn to pieces, and they could no longer form any effective resistance formation. What's more, the mainstay of the army is finished, and their morale is extremely low. They only supported for a short while before falling into a retreat.

On both sides, the wolf cavalry, who were hit by bows and arrows and two-handed swordsmen, also suffered a lot of losses. When they saw that the infantry on their side was finished, the hundreds of wolf riders who were still alive chose to retreat quite wisely.

From the beginning to the present, the whole battle only lasted for twenty minutes at most before it was declared over.

In this battle, Dane didn't gain much. It is estimated that in the judgment of the Dynasty Heart System, the task of rescuing the Morno warlord group Dane has not been completed very well. Even Morno himself is dead, and the body has not been rescued, so the completion situation will definitely not be much better. go. Therefore, although the scale of the battle seems not small, due to the low rating of D-level, the income of war points is not high, which is even less than the income brought by cleaning some small orc settlements.

But Dane didn't care too much. Although the war points in his hand were very few now, only about 200 points, he still didn't panic at all. In fact, even if he was given another chance now, he probably would not choose to really run to support and save Morno's life.

Compared with hundreds of war points, Morno's death here seems to be more beneficial to his great cause.

In addition to this battle report, Dane also received a piece of news that made him happy, but it was actually expected.

"You have harvested a talent. For details, please go to the talent page to check."

He could guess who this talent is with his eyes closed—it must be Delin. This guy has fought with him many times. Although he didn't have any particularly amazing performances, he has never made any mistakes. His appearance is quite satisfactory, so he can be regarded as a qualified general.

Opening the talent page, Dane checked Delin's attributes with his own eyes.

"Smirka Delin, sixth-level ranger."

"Commander: ★★★"

"Internal Affairs: ★"

"Ethics: ★★☆"

"Loyalty: ★★★★★"

"Special: None."

The commander-in-chief attribute of three stars means that he is already a qualified general. The one-star internal affairs attribute is very low, but Dane never thought about asking Delin to do the work of a political officer. The moral attribute is two and a half stars, neither high nor low, but Dane is actually a little surprised. People who come from mercenaries can have this moral attribute, what else can they ask for?

The most important thing is the loyalty of the full star, which is very surprising-this is the first time Dane has seen a full star talent. In fact, according to the evaluation of the system, four stars are already absolute. An extremely loyal subordinate who is impossible to betray, five-star? He only saw the system's one-sentence evaluation of five-star loyalty.

"You never have to worry about his loyalty, even if he dies."

What else can I say?

There is no special attribute, which means that it is basically difficult for Delin to improve further. But it doesn't matter, such high loyalty is enough to make up for everything.

…

After defeating the orc army that was chasing after life and death, there were quite a few enemies who fled. There were at least five or six hundred wolf cavalry and infantry in total, and they were almost all in chaos. , there is no fighting spirit at all, if you pursue it, basically you can expand the results of the battle to a very gratifying level without paying any price.

In normal times, he wouldn't mind killing more enemies, but not now, he was in a hurry to escape.

Preventing the pursuit of some aggressive soldiers under him, Dane ordered the whole army to immediately turn around and continue to flee towards the south.

The orcs found that the humans and elves did not catch up. After escaping for a certain distance, they regrouped and continued to chase. However, when they had just approached a certain distance, a fireball plus a round of flying arrows directly reimbursed the lives of dozens of orc soldiers, and once again gave the team they had managed to get together again. broke up.

In the end, this group of orc soldiers, who had lost their command and fighting spirit, gave up their intention to pursue after following the human troops for a symbolic half an hour.

Afterwards, on the way to retreat, they would more or less encounter some scattered orc teams. However, the good news is that the largest of these orc troops encountered was only about the size of a squadron, and it was completely impossible to bring any hindrance to Dyne's troops, which already numbered in the thousands. Moreover, as they got farther and farther away from Shizuipo, the chances of encountering orcs became smaller and smaller.

When it was four or five o'clock in the afternoon, they hadn't encountered the shadow of an orc for a long time.

Theoretically speaking, at this time, they can basically declare that they have escaped from the maelstrom of Shizuipo and fled to a safer place.

But despite this, Dane still led the army to stay away from Shizuipo very cautiously, all for the sake of safety.

After this run, it was almost eight o'clock in the night in one breath, and it had been dark for a while.

Marching at night is not a good idea, especially if you are in a hurry. Maybe, there is still a team of a thousand people now, and after running all night in the dark, maybe there will only be a few hundred left in the daytime.

He made a little calculation and felt that his current location was at least 30 kilometers away from Shizuipo. At night, this distance was considered relatively safe, and it was not easy for the orcs to chase them. They also had to face the problems brought about by the darkness. In this position, stopping and resting shouldn't be much of a problem.

So, he gave the order to stop advancing and start resting.

Because when they set off in the morning, the whole army was lightly packed and basically carried no heavy loads. Therefore, the current army said that it was camping, but in fact it was impossible to make a decent camp. Guys with better conditions may find some vegetation as mattresses and cover their bodies with some cloth products as quilts. Guys with poorer conditions can only lie down on the spot.

Fortunately, although it is winter, the weather in the south of the mainland is not too cold, and there is very little rain on the eastern wasteland. When the weather is dry, the cold will not be so terrible. Sitting on the ground, although it is very uncomfortable to sleep like this, but with clothes as a spacer, the soldiers will not suffer from frostbite.

Moreover, this situation is only temporary. Wait until tomorrow, return to the camp where Dane and the others camped before, and regain their luggage, life will be much easier, and they will only suffer for one night at most.

Sitting in front of a bonfire, Dane was flicking the flames with a wooden root in his hand, his eyes were dazed, and he was obviously thinking about something.

He guessed that the chaos caused by Morno's assault last night to the orc army should have been much better after the whole day. No matter how idiot those clan generals are, after such a long time after the battle, no matter how chaotic the army was rushed in the dark night, most of the manpower should have been gathered by this time.

But this does not mean that the situation of the orc army will be very good. On the contrary, after this whole day of chaos, they have at least thousands or even more losses. Among them, combat attrition was only a small part. After all, Morno's assault went smoothly, but his goal was not to kill or injure the enemy. During the entire day's battle, although the team led by Dane won two battles and defeated many orc troops, the casualties they caused to the opponent would not be too many, and they would only die by a few hundred. look. However, there are not a few people who got lost in the chaos and teams that were too late to gather.

With the exception of the generals of the Orc Legion, it is difficult for outsiders to estimate an accurate number. However, this does not prevent Dane from making some guesses. He felt that the combat power that the orc army could produce now might only be in the early 10,000s.

And after a whole day of chasing ~IndoMTL.com~ Governor Ou Ze's 20,000 army may have approached not far from Shizuipo. The orcs had no chance of escaping, and all they could do now was to take advantage of Shizuipo's terrain, and after a day and night of chaos, an army of about 10,000 people was exhausted to face double the number, Governor Oze is catching up!

Dane believed that the orcs would not stand still, and would fight desperately at Shizuipo. But he also believed that Ou Ze, who had come prepared, would never miss this great opportunity!

This is the opportunity that Governor Ou Ze dreamed of, to kill all the most elite forces of the three major clans on the Eastern Wasteland in Shizuipo. If this battle is won, the three major orc clans who have been greatly injured will be powerless to threaten the defense line of Beast Blood Castle within ten years!

With such a result, Schindler's world will change.
