Chapter 17: Surprise and Retreat
On the way, the soldiers sang cheerful songs and walked towards the military camp in an extremely happy mood.
But when they just arrived at the gate of the military camp, they saw a group of soldiers walking around anxiously at the gate. The atmosphere in the entire military camp became very tense, and everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
Seeing Keladi and others coming back, the soldiers looked happy and ran over quickly. Keledi pushed away the guard in front of him and asked loudly: "What happened? What are you doing here?" He knew the soldiers running over and could not be detrimental to him. Seeing their appearance, Keladi had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Your Majesty, there is urgent information from the rear, asking us to retreat across the board." The soldier handed a letter to Kelardi.
The envelope was wrapped with a special paint, and it could be seen that the letter had not been opened yet.
Without thinking, Keladi tore open the envelope and took out the paper inside. The more he looked at it, the uglier his expression became. The previous joy has completely disappeared.
"What happened? What is going on in the rear? Why are we being asked to retreat?"
Kai'an also sensed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to ask. Kelady did not shy away and said directly: "Damn Viscount Yarra, it's all this bastard's fault." Kelady handed the envelope to Kian.
As he watched, Kai'an's face became ugly. "The bastard who is greedy for life and afraid of death should really kill him."
Being able to say such things shows how angry Kai'an is. Chi Nan asked cautiously: "What happened?" Now that he was on the battlefield, everything was related to whether he could survive.
Kai'an thought for a while and finally said: "You are not an outsider. I am able to achieve such a great victory this time thanks to you. Let me show it to you. Remember, nothing on this should be leaked."
With that said, Kai'an handed the envelope to Chi Nan. Soka next to him wanted to say something, but finally kept his mouth shut.
Chi Nan took it in his hand and looked at it. He was dumbfounded. What kind of words were written on it. No, he seemed to know this kind of writing. Chi Nan found that he could understand it instinctively. However, I clearly don’t know what words these are. "By the way, it's the scroll of wisdom. I didn't expect this thing to be so powerful."
Chi Nan read on, and the content inside made Chi Nan not know what to say, and he felt like he couldn't laugh or cry.
The reason is unexpected but makes sense. Because of the powerful strength of the wild orcs, none of the surrounding nobles dared to come to support them. The few who huddled up and defended fairly well, and more nobles fled their territories directly with their wealth.
Among them, Viscount Yarra is the one who guards his territory. He can be said to be very upright, at least in the eyes of the nobles. Moreover, Yala's own territory is actually a very important strategic location.
The wild orcs passed through Viscount Yara's territory and were able to penetrate directly into the area behind Remas. Viscount Yarra himself has publicly declared that he will live and die with his territory.
But when the wild orcs actually arrived, Viscount Yara did not fulfill his promise at all, but simply ran away with his army. Such an important strategic location was just given to the wild orcs.
However, when Viscount Yarra ran away, he ran too fast and did not alert the Second Legion who was resting behind.
As a result, the Second Legion was severely tricked by him. This time it's not just the wild orcs, but also the evil beast dogs raised by the wild orcs. The evil beast dog is highlighted with a bold horizontal bar.
Seeing the battle report above, the second legion that was resting was directly dispersed by the wild beasts and lost a lot of troops. The remaining soldiers fled one after another. Even the legion commander and deputy legion commander and a series of high-level officials died in the evil beast dogs. in the mouth. The Second Army had completely collapsed, and with the disbanded First Army, Remas was left with only a Third Army that could fight.
Unfortunately, the Third Legion's combat exploits have not yet been reported, and there are only a little more than half of the legion's soldiers left. In anyone's opinion, Remas's three legions have ceased to exist in name only and have no ability to fight.
However, there are still tens of thousands of crazy orcs, and they are running rampant in Remas. They are no match at all. The appearance of the evil beast dog became the last straw for them.
"Well, what is an evil beast dog?" Just ask if you don't understand. This is a good habit.
Soka whispered: "Evil beast dogs are powerful monsters raised by some wild orcs for hunting. As adults, they have terrifying combat power close to that of formal professionals. They are very fast and highly aggressive. They will only obey the orders of their masters. . In a head-on battle, we usually have to lose twenty to thirty soldiers to kill an evil beast dog."
Is this thing so powerful? Those wild orcs are almost as good as tanks, but the evil beast dogs are even more powerful. After all, the Crazy Beastman himself is still relatively slow, but it seems that the Evil Beast Dog is really very fast.
"Then there's no need for us to retreat. Why don't we just wait for rescue?" Chi Nan was still a little unbelievable.
Kian lowered his voice and said angrily: "You all know this kind of thing, and of course they know it too. This retreat is not because the nobles don't want to lose their soldiers, money and food."
Chi Nan was very surprised: "Will there be no losses if we let the wild orcs run rampant?"
"Of course not, because the wild orcs always attack our Rusya Empire because of hunger. As long as they are full, they will definitely retreat."
"Full? When they are full, Remas will be finished, how many people will survive by then?"
Kaian's voice was lowered: "In their eyes, this is not their territory, they don't care. Civilians are like weeds, they will grow a lot again after a few years if they die."
Is this the real idea of these nobles? Chi Nan understands it a little. It seems that the nobles mentioned in the books before not only did not discredit them, but on the contrary, they were beautified. Although Kaian's face was full of indignation, it can be seen that Kaian himself also agrees with this concept.
As long as they are full, they can retreat. What an irresponsible idea. What do wild orcs eat? They eat anything that can be eaten. Even humans, they will not let go. Also, do they really believe that the wild orcs will retreat?
Chi Nan didn't know why, but he always had a bad feeling in his heart, as if this matter was not that simple.
