Chapter 163 The Army of the Expedition
Edis is a more sophisticated commander in the orcs, but he has a bad problem of never talking nonsense, which makes him extremely unappreciated by Emperor Wipton. You can hardly imagine how a subordinate who can only say: yes, okay, good words won the trust of his boss.
This experienced commander is good at fierce attacks, and his army flag is a violent bear,
Among many orc generals, he is also one of the few generals who do not stand in line. When most of the generals supported the current emperor Wipton, the poor commander was guarding the far south. When Wipton succeeded to the throne, he did not expect to flatter the new emperor, so he was honored. He became a non-referal person outside the emperor's power circle. This non-remand line was finally abandoned in this battle and completely became an abandoned son in the attack of the orc empire.
However, Edith knew that he still had a chance, that is, to change the direction of attack, bypass the big city Arihar in the south of the elf, and retreat to the offensive direction of Grom's legion. In this way, as long as he can avoid the pursuit of the elf army, he may be in front of General Grom's army in front of Rovi. Converge on the road to Erihar so that he can save his life.
Now Edith is leading this orc army in the hot desert, and he wants to find the erratic seasonal river Dragon Tail River. Throw those heavy ships into the river so that they can speed up the march and launch an attack on the elf forest at the specified time.
The time for the whole orc attack army was set for May 28. In the early morning of that day, they launched an attack on the elf forest together to achieve an unexpected effect. The current time is March 4, and there are still more than two months left. The main time for such a late operation is to wait for their sneak attack force to cross the Dragon Flame Desert.
This orc army has been struggling in the desert for more than ten days. Now he even suspects that he and his troops are going to die of thirst and starve to death in the Dragon Flame Desert, carrying less and less food. Every day when he watches the Bimon beast eat, Edith wants to store these bastards into dried meat. . The reserves of fresh water also began to become tense, and the army needed to replenish various supplies.
On this day, on the morning of March 29, the orc army finally found the water source in the dream desert to supply some fresh water.
A small group of wolf knights who found the water source rushed back and shouted loudly: "Your Excellency, I have found the water source!" I found the water source!" They hung full of water bags and wet places on their bodies. It seemed that they had replenished them before returning.
"Very good." Edith said.
"Order the whole army to move in the direction of water and walk along the water." Edith's deputy then ordered. So the march immediately turned into a race. Everyone seemed to rush to the edge of the water to take a sip of the river to relax their tired mood.
With the help of the river, the huge ship can move forward at several times the original speed, so the speed of this orc army has been increased exponentially. Moving along the river also solved the problem of getting lost, so we went all the way until April 7, and there was a news that shocked all the orcs in this army.
"Your excellency is not good. An unidentified force was found in front of you." A wolf cavalryman came back to report.
"Nonsense!" Edith said.
His deputy was furious and questioned the wolf knight in front of him: "F troops? Are you crazy? This is the desert! And it's already close to the seaside. How dare you say that you met an army? Can you tell me who will appear here? The dead?"
"Your excellency, we don't dare to get too close to them, but we are sure that it is a human force. They are not many, and they are like a scout." The wolf knight was experienced and reported everything he knew and speculated to his boss.
"Really?" Edith asked.
"It's true!" The wolf knight said.
"Send the wolf knights immediately to eat these human soldiers. I want to see what courage makes these human beings dare to come to the wall of sighs to die." Edith's deputy said.
Edith nods and said with approval, "The wolf rode to attack."
Two thousand wolf knights in his army began to gather. The giant wolf roared, and the heroic knight roared loudly at the sky and rushed to the distance at an incredible high speed, which was the direction where the human scouts were found. Then the whole orc army also began to line up slowly, and 10,000 orc troops were gathered. They would accompany the wolf knights to deal with the possible human army. Edith is confident but not arrogant, and he still believes in the truth of carefulness that makes the ten-thousand-year ship.
Editis is confident to destroy the human army that may appear in front of him. After all, he has about 50,000 orc warriors in his hand. In this environment, unless he is surrounded by hundreds of thousands of human troops, he has a chance to win. The orcs face the human army in the wild, and the record is a complete victory under equal circumstances. Even if the number of humans is twice that of the orcs, there is no chance of winning.
And now it's too late to inform the main force of the distant orc empire. By the arrival of the messenger sent by Edith, it is estimated that the orc emperor has been in Fick City according to the plan. At that time, who can dispatch troops to support his lonely army far away from the battlefield? Besides, if the human army with only 8,000 people opposite them reports in a panic, even if they are not laughed to death by their colleagues, they will be scolded as cowards by their dead ancestors.
In view of what would actually happen, Edith sent a wolf knight in his hand. His purpose was to eat these human scouts and then test the reaction of the possible human army. If the human on the opposite side retreats back to the sea, he will carry out the battle of landing and sneaking on the Elf Forest as originally planned. If the human troops opposite want to resist, he will eat these human troops and then carry out the original plan.
At the bottom of their hearts, Edith and all the orc officers did not want to know what the human troops opposite came from and where they were. Their minds were full of how many supplies the troops brought, how many horses could be eaten, and whether the armor and swords in these human armies could not All of them can be captured, and even these orc generals have a little expectation in their hearts, that is, these human armies have a little backbone to resist once with all their strength, and don't run away.
