Dane's guess was taken seriously.
At about ten o'clock in the night, Sir Marlin, a powerful sky knight, personally came to Dane who had just set up camp in the middle of the night.
A few hours ago, after Sir Marin learned of Dane's speculation, he immediately led the team and pulled up three teams, intending to go close to the sky above the detected orc army and carefully investigate the enemy's army. Configuration, personnel composition, and team number.
This information is very valuable. The configuration of the army determines how to judge the enemy's strength at the command level. It is not rigorous to judge only by the number of people. The composition of personnel, such as which clans this orc army is composed of. The most noteworthy thing is the number of this orc army. After figuring out their numbers, they can basically figure out whether this orc team came from under the Beast Blood Fort.
This time, Marin's intelligence investigation was basically exhaustive. Not only did he figure out the size and configuration of the orc army, but he was 100% sure in front of Dane, completely confirming Dane's conjecture—these orcs really came from the Beast Blood Fort.
In order to confirm the accuracy of this information, Marin lost an arm, plus a team of sword falcon knights.
When the leader of the sword falcon knights landed in front of Dane, his face was pale, his whole body was crumbling, his right arm wrapped in a rag was still dripping blood, and the sword falcon under his crotch was still bleeding. Half of his body was dyed red.
"Cecilia! Cecilia! Hurry up and save someone! Why are you the only one back?" Dane asked, calling Cecilia over.
Sir Marlin showed a miserable smile, and said: "One team died, and the other brothers have already reported to Morno. I can't support that far, so I will come to you first to see if I can save a life and survive. "
"That's right." Dane nodded.
The high-ranking priest Cecilia came to the side, and after a few consecutive spells of hemostasis, healing, and pain relief, Sir Marin's face returned to blood.
"Can you get the arm back?" Dane asked.
Cecilia shook her head and said, "I can't help it. If Sir Marin can get his arm back, maybe he can connect it with the spell of [Severed Limb Renewal]. But completely [Rebirth of broken limbs], that is a six-ring spell, I can't do it."
Marin smiled, as if he didn't care much about the arm he lost: "Forget it, I will definitely not get it back if I look for it, my hand is probably still in the stomach of some wyvern It's on."
"Is it so dire?"
"Yes." Marin sighed with emotion, "Old opponents, the Wyvern Centuries of the Rib Clan, if they hadn't been killed by half of their numbers when they were in Beast Blood Fort, this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."
"Are you sure they are 100% from Beast Blood Castle?"
"I'm sure. We fought these orcs for more than half a year in Beast's Blood Castle. I lost my hand, but my eyes are not blind. I'm sure I can recognize them."
"Then... does this mean that the orc army has withdrawn?"
"I'm not sure yet." Marin shook his head and said, "The follow-up army hasn't been detected yet, and we probably don't have the ability to investigate. If the orc army isn't here, we won't be able to find it. If The army of orcs is here, and when we find it, we will have to face the siege of an unknown number of wyverns, and we will definitely not be able to return to pass on the news."
"What about your own opinion?"
"Don't you have a very positive idea? Why are you asking me?"
"You are more familiar with the orc army."
"I think you're right."
"I feel so too."
…
Dane's guess is that the 20,000-scale orc main force has all retreated. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for them to just send out an army of 4,000 people to sweep the rear, which is undoubtedly a stupid thing.
Think about it, an army of 4,000 people is already quite a force. After such an army is divided, the army remaining in Beast Blood Fortress will be reduced by one-fifth. Could it be that the beast Aren't people afraid that Governor Ou Ze would bring his troops out of the Beast Blood Fort immediately after he noticed it
The comparison between the army of orcs and the governor of Ou Ze in terms of military strength was originally equal to each other. As long as the orcs dare to divide their troops, Oze will attack from the Beast's Blood Castle, plus multiple strongholds, castles, and towns on the entire defense line will attack at the same time. , and then eat it dry and wipe it off without leaving a single one.
And whether the 4,000 soldiers who were separated and returned to the Eastern Wasteland can kill Morno's Eastern Expeditionary Army is still a matter of two debates!
According to this analysis, leaving the main force to die in Beast Blood Castle, and then sending out a force to deal with Morno, this must be an extremely bad choice for the orcs. Of course, if the leaders of the three major orc clans all showed their heads and really issued such an order, it would be a great thing. As long as the Eastern Expeditionary Army can hold back the attack of these four thousand orcs, or simply defeat them, and then go back and beat the underdogs who are locked in the defense line of the human castle with Governor Oze, they will be able to eliminate the threat The main force of the three orc clans that had occupied the eastern border of Schindler for decades was completely wiped out.
But all in all, no matter what the facts are, it is impossible for Dane's forces and the Pure Sword Mercenary Group to stop there.
In the early morning of the second day, before dawn, Dane hurriedly kicked all the soldiers out of bed, quickly packed up the temporary territory, and led the whole army towards the north again.
On the afternoon of January 17, the army led by Dane finally merged with Morno's army. At the same time, there was also an army of more than 500 people led by Chapple.
The reunited Eastern Expeditionary Army returned to a size of more than 2,500 people. Jere's Smir mercenary group did not come back for a long time, and in the evening, they received bad news-Smir was bitten by an orc on the way to retreat, and the 4,000-strong orc army turned around. The entire mercenary group was swallowed up, and Jieer himself was missing.
The war is about to start, and the Eastern Expeditionary Army will suffer a blood loss first. No matter how unimportant the Smir mercenary group is, after all, the number of people here, the size of 500 people is equivalent to one-sixth of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.
With 3,000 people, Morno dared to fight head-on with the orc army, and won the battle. Two thousand five hundred people versus four thousand... Moreno must weigh it.
