The stragglers led by Delin, after being integrated together, were left by Dane at a distance of about half a day. The communication between the two sides could only rely on the mages to send messages back and forth with the wind message technique. Although it is impossible to communicate in real time, generally speaking, a message can arrive within a minute or two, which is not considered slow.
These soldiers were deliberately arranged by Dane between the main force and Shizuipo. The main force walked in a large circle around Shizuipo, while De Lin's team walked in a small circle, so as to take care of these mercenaries with poor individual abilities. , so as not to be thrown too far.
But this is not the main purpose. In fact, arranging them between the main force and Shizuipo basically means that if there are broken soldiers fleeing from the direction of Shizuipo and coming in this direction, they will meet them first. It was almost certainly them.
Just like now, the officer under Ou Ze who fled here from Shizuipo after the army was defeated discovered that there was actually a human team here. He decisively began to ask which part they belonged to, and tried to ask to return to the battlefield together to continue fighting.
After getting the news, Dane decisively asked Delin to deal with it. No matter what means he used, he tried to delay the time as much as possible. In any case, he just prevented them from contacting his main force. Anyway, the officer brought dozens of soldiers, and he would never want to break through the team led by De Lin, and as long as he didn't meet in person, Dane could pretend to be ignorant.
If he was really pestered, Delin could directly refuse. As for the consequences... Dane can deduce it all when he looks back: it's a group of idle mercenaries who don't know the importance and are ignorant, and they didn't convey the news to me at all. I don't know anything? !
This method is quite rogue, but who can take him at this time? No one can control him when the Shizuipo battle is in full swing.
Anyway, for Dane, he can already be regarded as careless. With the main force under him, he ran westward with all his heart, and ran back to Schindler as a great success. As for the matter behind the buttocks, I will leave it to Delin to wipe.
If there is a small group of orcs, let's repel them without saying a word; if it is a small group of human troops, Delin will also handle it. Encountering the orc troops of the brigade, they just cut their tails to survive, and let those idle mercenaries be the cannon fodder in the rear, but Delin had to find a way to escape by himself. If you encounter a large group of human troops, and if you want to recruit them... then this is the worst situation.
Fortunately, this unlucky situation did not appear in the next two days.
…
On the first day of February, the team led by Dane had completely left Shizuipo's range, and the aftermath of the war could no longer reach them. The information from the front also came in time, and as expected, the last resistance of the orcs ended in failure. The army of Governor Oze gained an absolute advantage in the battle on the first day, and stormed Shizuipo's army on the second day. In the process, the orc army was completely defeated.
The chief of the Broken Tooth Clan, one of the three major clans, was personally beheaded by Governor Ou Ze in this battle, and the chief of the Rib Clan also died in the chaos. Only Chief Heiyan fled in haste with a part of his rout.
The orc army has completely collapsed, and Governor Oze may have suffered some losses, but due to the lack of intelligence, it is difficult to make an accurate judgment. But after thinking about it, it won't be too much, because after the battle of Shizuipo, Ou Ze didn't stop there, but continued to go east with the legion, preparing to further wipe out the defeated orcs and kill orcs as much as possible Vitality. It's even possible that Ouze wants to rush into the habitat of the three major clans and uproot the three orc tribes that have been entrenched in the westernmost part of the eastern wasteland for decades.
This must be good news for Dane. The further east Ou Ze went, the more time he would spend on the Eastern Wilderness, and the more time Dane had to implement his plan.
On February 3rd, the team led by Dane stepped into the defense line of Beast Blood Castle.
According to Dane's thinking, the most ideal thing is not to enter any castles, and pass through the defense line of Beast Blood Castle safely. Although the castle and the castle are linked to each other, if the orc army wants to go this way, it will inevitably suffer continuous blows in the process of crossing. But now Ou Ze's main force is on the Eastern Wasteland. A few days away, the total force of the Beast Blood Fort's defense line is estimated to be not many people. It may be difficult to achieve an efficient joint defense.
What's more, Dane is leading a human army, and logically, if he doesn't rush to threaten the castle, no one should bother him.
The most ideal state is that he can leave the range of Beast Blood Castle quickly with his troops and return to Schindler without alarming the defenders of any of the castles. Although, Ou Ze will get the news of his disobedience, but Dane has some excuses saying that he didn't receive it. Even if Ou Ze wants to trouble him, it will be a few months after the orc problem is completely solved. It is estimated that he had gained a firm foothold in White Wolf Castle at that time.
In this way, any extra problems are what Dane does not want to see. But at this time, he had to enter a certain castle.
The reason is simple. After the rapid march of these days, the supplies carried by his troops have finally reached a very dangerous level, and they must be supplied.
In the defense line of Beast Blood Castle, apart from the castle, there should still be some villages under the protection of the castle.
Of course, this is under normal circumstances. After the orcs attacked and besieged Beast Blood Castle for several months, the population and supplies in the scattered villages on the defense line of Beast Blood Castle have only two destinations: or they were moved into the village protected by the city defense. In the castle, it was either robbed and killed by orcs.
So, on the devastated land, Dane didn't even have to eat grass roots, let alone find some supplies.
But it's not without good news. Two or three years ago, Chapple led the troops, and as a representative of White Wolf Castle, he supported the defense line of Beast Blood Castle. He had fought for several months, and he had some old acquaintances in several castles. Through his negotiation, Dane obtained enough supplies for his army for three to five days in the two fortresses that were short of major generals.
After obtaining not many supplies, but enough for his troops to leave the defense line of Beast Blood Castle, he did not stay any longer, and immediately continued to move westward.
Three days later, he completely left the defense circle of Beast Blood Castle. At this moment, he was only a little over a week away from White Wolf Fort and Rotten Wolf Town, if he moved faster. (To be continued.)
