Heart of Empire Chapter 552: Dragon Dragon Peak Decisive Battle (4)
The escaped Schindler troops quickly withdrew towards the southwest. But in the middle of the retreat, they received a message from the general headquarters.
"The intelligence says we have been targeted."
"Really? What kind of person is following us."
"Judging from the news from the army headquarters, it should be the third line of the legendary death knight Sofield of the Church of the Damned."
After listening to Pearl's news, Grom was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed.
"Your Excellency Grom, what are you laughing at?"
"Are you looking forward to it? Isn't it?" The smile on his face did not weaken at all, he stroked the stainless steel battle ax in his hand, and continued: "Fighting against a legendary opponent is what a warrior looks forward to the most. Little bean sprouts like you can't understand the feelings of soldiers."
Pearl let out an inexplicable hum, and didn't react much to Grom's less respectful words.
Grom said: "Is there anything else in the newspaper?"
"Well..." Pearl hesitated, and said: "These undead came from the north. The three regiments of the White Wolf Army deployed on our right wing were quickly defeated after encountering the enemy. Very strong."
"Come from the north, the right wing is defeated..." Grom muttered these two words, and asked, "Then... there are more than 5,000 warriors in our tribe, how is it?"
Pearl knew why he asked. Grom himself led the vanguard of the army, all warriors of his Warsong clan. This number is five thousand.
As for the Warsong tribe, a total of 10,000 soldiers were dispatched for this expedition. There are 5,000 people who are arranged on the north side of the col.
If Sefeld came from the north, he should have encountered another army from the Warsong clan. But now, according to the intelligence, Seulfield's undead army is chasing after them, but there is no news of another army of the Warsong clan.
What this meant, Grom knew very well. The reason why he asked again was to get a definite answer.
Pearl sighed and said: "Information says...the whole army was wiped out."
The orc chief who was walking forward step by step in the mountain path suddenly stopped.
After a while, he asked a question: "Are they all dead?"
"No..." Pearl sighed, and said: "There should be three or four hundred troops who escaped, and the Cyclops army was too slow to move, so they followed the large army and survived. "
"Yeah." Grom nodded without saying anything more.
Continuing to walk forward for another two hours, he suddenly said: "The terrain around here seems to be pretty good, let's build a defense line here."
"Build a defense line?" Pearl didn't understand what Grom meant for a while, and she asked, "Should we not continue to retreat?"
"No retreat." Grom said, "Your Majesty, you should also use our army as a bait to attract the enemy, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop, right? In this case, instead of letting the enemy catch up, we To fight between warehouses, it is better to build a good line of defense and fight them well."
Pearl shook his head and said, "This is inconsistent with the order we accepted."
Grom grinned and said, "Then ask, what if Your Majesty agrees?"
There is no need for Pearl to say whether it is good or bad, Grom will do it when he thinks about it. On the one hand, he ordered the troops to stop advancing, and on the other hand, he recruited a mage who came with the army.
Soon, a magic channel for instant messaging was launched.
"Hello, Chief Grom, I am Verina, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom."
"Where is Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty has already led part of the army out ahead of schedule, and now I will temporarily take over the general headquarters. What's the matter with you?"
"I don't intend to continue to lead the troops to retreat. We found a place with good terrain. I plan to build a line of defense here and fight with the undead army chasing after me."
Verina didn't send back a message for a while, and Grom was not in a hurry, just waiting on the spot.
A few minutes later, Verina's voice sounded again: "Chief Grom, I think you know the meaning of what you did and the consequences you will face."
"Yes, I know, I know better than anyone else."
"Very well, the general command agrees with your combat strategy."
"Thank you."
…
Grom's combat request was actually agreed to by Dane.
On the second day after Grom and Pearl's troops started to build a line of defense in a place with relatively good defensive terrain, a troop led by Dane was already close to the battlefield.
Dain's adjutant, a young knight in full armor riding on a war horse, Colonel Gnar, rode his horse from afar. He stood beside Dane and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from the scouting griffin that our air force has begun to fight the gargoyle, and we have vaguely seen the opponent's bone dragon. According to analysis, the undead led by Seinfeld The army may not be far from Chief Grom's line of defense, and it is estimated that they will have substantial contact this afternoon."
"Okay, I see." Dane nodded, all this has not yet come out of his plan. The army he is leading now is not far from the estimated battlefield. If he starts to attack, he will be able to rush to Grom's defense line in half a day. On the other side, the two Cormyr sub-corps teams that were temporarily assigned to Muken had also arrived at their predetermined positions.
Now, the flames of war are about to ignite, and it is time to attack.
"Order the entire army to advance! Incomparable must arrive at the battlefield within three hours, and all enemies encountered on the way must be wiped out!"
Gnar gave a military salute to Dane and said loudly: "Yes!"
A moment later ~IndoMTL.com~ The army hidden in the mountains and forests all started to move, and it's officially out!
With the movement speed of Dane's troops, it will take about three hours to arrive at the scheduled battlefield. But in fact, it didn't take that long at all, and Dane's troops had already encountered a small group of undead.
At present, the troops led by Dane are about 3,000 people, not too many, but there is no doubt that they are all elite. In order to get to the battlefield as soon as possible, and to keep Thurfield and his undead army in this mountainous area, Dane spent a lot of money.
While riding his horse, he looked back at the four tall men in hoods and robes standing behind him, and a large number of knights riding on horses behind them. a smile.
He wants to give these soulless undead a big surprise!
