Dane's running plan is very urgent and fast, which is definitely not a delay.
The combined Comilla and Pure Sword combined look like thousands of people. Now, these thousand people are hurried toward the west. In front of them, General Moreno must have received news about the orc army and must be preparing.
Now, the entire Eastern March must come together! More than 4,000 orcs are hurriedly chasing after them, and if they do not rush to merge with the main team of Morno, and bring all the Eastern Marches together, it is impossible to compete with enemies of this size.
In the previous battle, the reinforcements led by Dion had almost no loss. After their main force in melee joined the battle, the orc army did not persist for long, and soon collapsed.
But the loss of pure sword is not small. More than 300 pure swordsmen, when the battle was over, the total number of dead and wounded was almost 60 or 70, leaving only 250 swordsmen. With more than 200 cannon fodder troops, there were not many deaths and injuries, but there were many smashed soldiers or even deserted soldiers that could not be gathered back. This number was almost 100. A good mercenary regiment of pure swords fell into the army of the enemy's vanguard with a mildew. After a fierce battle, more than 500 people were left with less than 400 people.
Pu Lina's face has always been very poor, even if her face is covered with a veil, Dane can see from her eyes.
"唉 ..." Dane didn't know how to comfort. Those idle mercenaries don't want to be taken too seriously by Li Lina, but the casualties of sixty or seventy pure swordsmen are hard for women to accept.
After all, the family of the Pure Sword Mercenary Regiment is just a little bit.
Pu Lina said angrily: "Where did these orcs come from? Really it, no warning!"
Dane asked curiously, "Didn't the Sword Knight have any news for you in advance?"
"No!" Alishan Delina became even more annoyed when Dane mentioned this: "The sword knights who should have followed me, I don't know why, I haven't shown up all day. If not, if the air cavalry assigned to you happened to be patrolling nearby, no one knows that our entire army is gone! "
Hearing Alisa Delina's words, Dion felt even stranger: "This ... shouldn't be! I have been working with those sword-riding knights for some time. In my opinion, their quality is not low. It is impossible for such a situation not to report any news for a day ... "
"How do I know what's going on with them!" 徳 Lina was obviously still angry, but she said this sentence, but gave Dane a very bad idea.
To verify, he blew a whistle around his neck. This thing was given to him by the boss of the air cavalry, Sir Marin. Blowing this whistle will make a sound inaudible to human ears, but it can be heard by the sword cricket, and it travels a long distance. This thing is used by the ground team to communicate with the cavalry. Without this, wouldn't it be possible to communicate with the sword-riding knight flying in the air two or three hundred meters away?
After a while, a sword-riding knight appeared above the army, circled twice, and landed on Dane's side.
"Captain Dane, what do you tell me?" This is a young knight with short millet hair and freckles on his face. It certainly looks like he is not more than twenty years old.
Dean recognized him. His name was Rice, and he was one of several sword knights assigned to follow him. Earlier, it was him who wanted Dane to report on the pursuit of an army of orcs.
Regardless of being embarrassed, Dane told the story of Alysandrina's sword-riding knight not contacting her for a day.
Zhailes also felt very strange: "This is absolutely abnormal. We are the most elite air fighters under Governor Ozer. It is impossible for such a bad situation to occur."
"Eun." Dane nodded, and asked another topic: "Tell me in detail, what happened when you discovered the orc army."
"I accepted your order before, and when I was investigating to the west, I saw a lot of smoke and dust. When I got closer, I found this orc army. We have been trained in quantity estimates. The number of enemies is definitely more than four thousand There are many more, and the arms are very complete. I saw a lot of wolf cavalry and archers. Since the enemy is also hovering with some two-footed flying dragons, I am afraid to approach the observation. "
等等 "Wait ..." Dean suddenly stopped when he heard this. His face became a little dignified and asked, "You said, a bipedal dragon was found among the enemy forces?"
恩 "Well." Rice nodded and said, "The two-footed flying dragon is a traditional air force of the orc army. The combat strength is, to be honest, even better than our sword."
Dean smiled bitterly and turned to 徳 Lina and said, "It seems ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The reason why the sword knights who followed you have not been found all day."
Hearing here, She Lina understood, "You mean, my sword-riding knight was destroyed by the biped dragon of that orc army? This ..."
Looking at her appearance, she knew that this woman had never thought of this possibility before.
She continued to ask, "Why would there suddenly be so many orc army? Or air cavalry ... something like bipedal dragon is not good to cultivate, right? Apart from the three big clans, no tribe can Affordable. But should n’t the main forces of the three nearby clans have all gathered together to fight against Governor Ozer under the Beastblood? How could they still draw such a group of military forces? "
Rice couldn't answer this question, but Dane couldn't. However, Dyne had a guess in his mind, especially after learning that the enemy's army had two-footed flying dragons, he felt that his guess was mostly true.
He said: "Now, there are two possibilities. The first is that the three major clans still have a hidden power, but I don't believe that this is inconsistent with the customs and traditions of the orc clans when they carry out plunder. "
另一个 "Another possibility ... the orcs are likely to be the army under the Beastblood. The main forces that besieged the Beastblood from the three clans are likely to have retreated."
This is almost the only possibility.
