Heart of Empire Chapter 380: Shrinking troops
Palan, who turned his head to fight to the death with the chasing demons, already had the will to die. [Full text reading]
He knew that he would definitely not be able to beat him. Before, he left behind the broken soldiers, enough to have the strength of a squadron, but within an hour, he wiped out the broken troops and chased them up again, and it seems that the number did not lose much.
Under such circumstances, if Palan still thinks that he has the possibility to win, that is just a dream.
What he thought was that compared to running away, in despair, being swallowed mouthful by others, and dying like a hunter playing with his prey, it would be better to turn around and take him with him. The soldiers fought vigorously. It is more honorable to die like this, and it is more like a soldier's death method, and there are only a few who can pull down a few backs.
The demons seemed to be aware of the thoughts of these humans in front of them, they stopped, and surrounded them like a pack of wolves surrounding their prey.
The whispers of demons surround the ears of the humans, and they are clearly communicating.
Of course it is impossible for Palan to understand the language of demons, but this does not prevent him from guessing what these demons mean.
They may be discussing how to eat these humans next? Should it be dismembered into pieces and swallowed bit by bit, or just eat the flesh and bones?
Palan really made such a sad guess. Indeed, in the eyes of the demons, they are actually no different from the food they have already obtained.
But at this moment, a mighty voice sounded from afar.
Looking up, several flags with the white wolf logo were flying in the wind and sand!
Hope suddenly rose in Palan's heart. As a newly promoted major general in Dyne's army, of course he could clearly recognize the specifications of the two flags! Looking at the size of the banner, the soldiers of the two brigades are far away!
The demons apparently also noticed that more humans were approaching. So, they no longer hesitated, and began to attack the humans surrounded by them.
Palan, who has regained hope, of course cannot just be captured like this!
He shouted: "Hold on! Hold on! Our reinforcements are coming soon!"
In fact, there is no need for him to shout, none of the eyes is worse than anyone else, and everyone can see the arrival of the reinforcement flag.
Isn't that a desperate resistance?
An hour later, Palan, who was covered in blood, saw the two officers of the army.
The two captains who led the two brigades were members of the garrison and Verina's subordinates. After receiving the news that Iron Spike Hill was broken and that Palan was fleeing south, they quickly set off from Shawan Port and headed north. Inquire about news, see if you can build an outpost or something.
Now, their first task has been completed, and they are ready to do the second task. There is no need to choose more locations, the two captains think that the nearby ones are not bad.
Palan shook his head and said, "No."
"Huh?" The two captains were a little puzzled. One of them said, "What don't you want? Don't you want to build an outpost?"
"Yes."
"But" another captain said hesitantly: "This is an order from General Verina."
Palan continued shaking his head and said: "I have personally dealt with these demons and Kangli's army. I know how terrible they are. After Lord Dane led the army to the north, those who stayed in the south The troops only have the strength of our garrison regiment. Originally, the strength of the troops was not large, let alone the elite. Compared with Kang Li, this kind of strength is far behind."
"Under such circumstances, only by shrinking our forces, condensing into a group, and trying our best to contend with Governor Kangli, can we have a chance of survival, at least for a longer period of time. If we disperse our forces, we will only be stepped forward by others There is no other end if you cannibalize it one step at a time!"
The two captains looked at each other.
They knew Palan, after all, Palan served as an adjutant to Verina. Although the face of this unrecognizable young man has become somewhat unfamiliar, the two captains are quite convinced by his words.
However, military orders are like mountains. What made them hesitate the most was that they had received an order from General Verina. If they did not complete the order to establish an outpost, they would just go back.
Palan saw the hesitation of the two, and said directly: "Follow me, let's go back to Shawan Port. If something goes wrong, don't worry, I won't let you two resist, I will You can always trust me, right?"
"Believe, believe"
Since Palan's words are here, what do the two captains have to be afraid of? Not to mention that Palan used to be Verina's adjutant and had a pretty good personal relationship with Verina herself, just look at how after he was released, even if his face was burned, he was replaced with a general star on his shoulder. Promoted to a major general, the two captains had to listen to him.
In wartime, obeying the leadership of senior officers was the most profound order Dane instilled in his officers after he became an army. And a major general already has a very high status in Dane's army. You know, General Verina, what is hanging on her shoulders now is just a major general rank.
In other words, now Palan and Velina are on the same level.
Of course ~IndoMTL.com~ Palan doesn't see it that way himself. He has a lot of respect for General Verina who single-handedly promoted him, and he has no idea of taking Verina's power at all, and he doesn't think that after he has won the rank of major general, he will be able to fight with Verina. Generals equal in power and strength.
It's just that, in his opinion, General Verina doesn't look like him after all. She has dealt with those demons in the frontline battlefield, and she may have a wrong idea of what kind of power the enemy has. estimate.
If the defense is only arranged according to the number of 15,000 enemies, there will definitely be a big mess. Palan didn't want to see this, he wanted to stop the mistake from happening, he wanted to go back and tell Verina himself how terrible the demons that led in Conley were.
With the remnant soldiers withdrawn from Iron Spike Hill and the soldiers of the two brigades that had just joined together, Paran embarked on a journey back.
Under the rapid march all the way, on December 22, he finally returned to Shawan Harbor and saw Verina again.
"Master General"
Verina looked at the scar on Palan's face, sighed, and said, "You have worked hard." To be continued.
