Palan, who turned his head and prepared to fight to the death with the demons who were chasing him, already had the will to die.
He knew that he would definitely not be able to beat it. Before, he left behind the broken soldiers, enough to have the strength of a squadron, but within an hour, he wiped out the broken troops and chased them up again, and it seems that the number did not lose much.
Under such circumstances, if Palan still thinks that he has the possibility to win, that is just a dream.
What he thought was that compared to running away, in despair, being swallowed mouthful by others, and dying like a hunter playing with prey, it would be better to turn around and take the soldiers with them. A vigorous battle. It is more honorable to die like this, and it is more like a soldier's death method, and there are only a few who can pull down a few backs.
The demons seemed to have sensed the minds of the humans in front of them. They stopped and surrounded them like a pack of wolves surrounding their prey.
Whispers of demons surrounded the ears of the humans, and they were clearly communicating.
Of course, it was impossible for Palan to understand the language of demons, but this did not prevent him from guessing what these demons meant.
They may be discussing, how to eat these humans next? Should it be dismembered into pieces and swallowed bit by bit, or just eat the flesh and bones
Palan really is such a sad guess. Indeed, in the eyes of the demons, they are actually no different from the food they have already obtained.
But at this moment, a mighty voice sounded from afar.
Looking up, several flags with the white wolf logo were flying in the wind and sand!
Hope suddenly rose in Palan's heart. As a newly promoted major general in Dayne's army, he certainly recognized the specifications of the two flags clearly! Looking at the size of the banner, the soldiers of the two brigades are far away!
The demons apparently also noticed that more humans were approaching. So, they no longer hesitated, and began to attack the humans surrounded by them.
Palan, who has regained hope, of course cannot just be captured without a fight!
He shouted: "Hold on! Hold on! Our reinforcements are coming soon!"
In fact, he didn't need to shout, none of the eyes were worse than anyone else, and everyone could see the arrival of the reinforcement flag.
Isn't this a desperate resistance
…
An hour later, Palan, covered in blood, saw the two officers of the unit.
The two captains who led the two brigades were members of the garrison and Verina's subordinates. After receiving the news that Iron Spike Hill was broken and that Palan was fleeing south, they quickly set off from Shawan Port and headed north. Inquire about news, see if you can build an outpost or something.
Now that their first task has been completed, they are ready to do the second one. There is no need to choose more locations, the two captains think that the nearby ones are not bad.
Palan shook his head and said, "No."
"Huh?" The two captains were a little puzzled. One of them said, "What don't you want? Don't you want to build an outpost?"
"yes."
"But..." Another captain said hesitantly, "This is an order from General Verina."
Palan continued to shake his head and said, "I have personally dealt with these demons and Conley's army. I know how terrifying they are. After Lord Dane led the army northward, the only troops left in the south were us." The strength of these garrison regiments. Originally, the strength of the troops was not too much, let alone the elite. Compared with Kang Li, this kind of strength is far behind."
"Under such circumstances, only by shrinking our forces, condensing into a group, and trying our best to contend with Governor Kangli, can we have a chance of survival, at least for a longer time. If we disperse our forces, we will only be eroded by others step by step , there is no other end!"
The two captains looked at each other.
They knew Palan, after all, Palan served as an adjutant to Verina. Although the face of this unrecognizable young man has become somewhat unfamiliar, the two captains are quite convinced by his words.
However, military orders are like mountains. What made them hesitate the most was that they came here under the order of General Verina. If they did not complete the order to establish an outpost, they would just go back directly...
Palan saw the hesitation of the two, and said directly: "Follow me, let's go back to Shawan Port. If something goes wrong, don't worry, I won't let you two resist, I will fully bear it, You can always trust me, right?"
"Believe, believe..."
Since Palan's words are here, what do the two captains have to be afraid of? Not to mention that Palan used to be Verina's adjutant and had a pretty good personal relationship with Verina herself, just look at how after he was released, even if his face was burned, he was replaced with a general star on his shoulder. Promoted to a major general, the two captains had to listen to him.
During wartime, obeying the leadership of senior officers was the most profound order Dane instilled in his officers after he became an army. And a major general already has a very high status in Dane's army. You know, General Verina, what is hanging on her shoulders now is just a major general rank.
In other words, now Palan is equal to Velina.
Of course, Palan didn't see it that way himself. He has a lot of respect for General Verina who single-handedly promoted him, and he has no idea of taking Verina's power at all, and he doesn't think that after he has won the rank of major general, he will be able to fight with Verina. Generals equal in power and strength.
It's just that, in his opinion, General Verina doesn't look like herself after all. She has personally dealt with those demons on the frontline battlefield, and she is likely to form a wrong estimate of what kind of power the enemy has.
If the defense is only arranged according to the number of the enemy's '15,000', then there will definitely be a big mess. Palan didn't want to see this, he wanted to stop the mistake from happening, he wanted to go back and tell Verina himself how terrible the demons that led in Conley were.
With the remnant soldiers withdrawn from Iron Spike Hill and the soldiers of the two brigades that had just joined together, Paran embarked on a journey back.
After a quick march all the way, on December 22, he finally returned to Shawan Harbor and saw Verina again.
"Master General..."
Verina looked at the scar on Palan's face, sighed, and said, "You have worked hard." (To be continued.)
