The supreme commander of the joint forces of Comilla Island and the Pure Sword Mercenaries is undoubtedly Dane. When he made up his mind to lead the troops forward, no matter how much Delin disagreed, he had to follow orders.
Delin, who had calmed down, remembered that Dane had also pondered for a while after listening to the narration of those white wolf soldiers. At the same time, he also realized that the reason why Dane led the army to step into the swamp ahead under such circumstances must have his own thoughts and schemes.
However, he really couldn't figure out what Dane was thinking during this time. A few times, he wanted to ask for clarification, but some orcs had begun to appear around him, putting the entire army on alert, and battles broke out from time to time. In this state, it is really not a good time to ask.
At this moment, Dane is actually still thinking about his previous decision.
In terms of tactics, it is not a wise choice to lead his soldiers into this quagmire. There is a great risk that he and his troops will be like Morno, stuck in it and unable to get out; in terms of strategy, This is also meaningless. Morno's army has achieved the strategic goal of disrupting the orc army. As Delin said, now he just needs to wait for Oze to come up to clean up the mess. He went in and survived to save him. Hundreds of soldiers from White Wolf Fort have nothing else to do.
But this is just thinking at the level of war, and Dane thinks about it a step further—political factors.
Morneau is dead.
Who is Morneau? His identity is not just the leader of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, not just a general who leads the army, he is a warlord who keeps his own army and separates one side. He controls Rotten Wolf Town, a city leading to Schindler. The inland transportation hub, as well as the White Wolf Fort under his command, and half of Shawan Port must obey his orders.
And now, he is dead.
Therefore, whether it is White Wolf Fort, Rotten Wolf Town, or the half of the rich port, it is now equivalent to losing its owner. Of these three places, which one is not much better than Fort Hanhai, which has a resident population of just over 1,000? How could Dane not be moved by this
With the support of his huge ambition, he came up with an idea: take White Wolf Fort and Rotten Wolf Town into his own hands, and then kill Ma Long and take Shawan Harbor.
This idea is very bold and greedy, but it still keeps growing and expanding in his heart until he can't resist this temptation at all.
But there is still some rationality in his mind. He knew that if he forcefully robbed Rotten Wolf Town and White Wolf Fort, it would be tantamount to wishful thinking. There are still 1,500 elite fighters from Morno in the White Wolf Castle. Even if Morno is dead, Dane will never let them open the city gate with his own mouth and recognize himself as the new master. .
But those 1,500 people are absolutely impossible to pass the hurdle, not to mention that Dane needs their support to control the two towns, but in the future, with his strength alone, he wants to fight against the eyeing Ma Long. Confrontation is a very difficult thing.
But if the soldiers left by Morno were recruited, things would be much easier. Not only the two towns are equivalent to directly falling into his hands, counting the power he owns now, plus those soldiers, I dare not say that it is compared with the power of Morno at his peak, but it must be no problem to challenge Ma Long. Behind him are Comilla, Auriana, and the bases of the other six clans that have not been released by the Heart of Dynasty. As long as he is allowed to stabilize his position and rely on Comilla, he can start from the southeast of Schindler and stir up the world.
It's too early to think about those, but occupying Rotten Wolf Town and White Wolf Fort is the current focus. And to achieve such a goal, he had to take some more risks—he had to pray that Chapple and Redis were still alive.
The prestige of these two men in White Wolf Castle is second only to Morno himself, and they are the most ideal successors to the political legacy left by General Morno. Dane wants to incorporate the soldiers and towns left by Morno, so the two of them are the top priority. As long as the two of them can be convinced, then the rest will be easy.
…
Moving forward at full speed, the orcs who still haven't organized a large-scale army basically have no way to bring any obstacles to the troops led by Dane. Soon, Dane found the main force of the human army through the ranger's investigation and the analysis of the intelligence from the white wolf soldiers he had rescued earlier.
Of the more than a thousand soldiers led by Morno, there are less than four hundred left in front of Dane at this moment. They are being besieged by double the number of orc soldiers, and from the direction of Shizuipo, there are still small groups of orc troops joining the siege.
The only thing that reassured Dane was that neither Chapple nor Reddis died. Although it was embarrassing to see the two of them fighting bravely in the siege, but after all, people are still alive, which is more important than anything else.
Without any delay, Dane decisively gave the order for the whole army to attack!
There is no need to arrange any specific tactics, the dragon squadron directly clears the way, the strong dragon warriors rushed into the enemy line, and then other soldiers swarmed up, coupled with the continuous shooting of the elf rangers, this part of the orcs surrounding Chapple The army was soon dug out a wide gap by Dane.
Seeing someone supporting them, the white wolf soldiers who were trapped in the siege also showed great enthusiasm for fighting. Although they were exhausted from the overnight battle, no one wanted to sit still and wait for death.
Under the attack from two sides, those orc armies who lacked command, even gathered blindly and participated in the battle blindly, were quickly repelled. And this also meant that Chapple and Redis were temporarily out of danger.
After hacking to death the last orc soldier who hadn't escaped and was still stubbornly resisting, Redis met Chapple and Dane.
Chapple had a lot of wounds on his body, and he looked very embarrassed out of breath. But he still came to Dane, and said with a relieved expression: "Thank God, Dane, if you come later, none of us will survive."
"Are there only so few people left?" Dane asked.
Chapple said: "There should be more than that, but these are the only ones following me, and the others have been lost."
"Okay." Dane nodded, and said, "There are too many orcs. I don't know when another troop will come. We have to evacuate now without delay, so as not to repeat the same mistakes and be entangled again."
Chapple hesitated a little. He looked behind him, and saw that Redis was limping over.
Before the person arrived, he yelled angrily: "Dane! Dane! You're too late for your motherfucker!"
With a slight sigh, Chapple guessed this would happen. (To be continued.)
