The setting sun is like blood.
The epic battle on the plain of the Loire Valley has finally come to an end.
The orc army fled westward all over the mountains and plains, and only the Warsong Legion was still surrounded by the human coalition forces, dying.
Perhaps because of being in a desperate situation, or perhaps because of the influence of Emperor Saruman, the soldiers of the Warsong Legion in the encirclement also began to go berserk one after another.
But to be honest, the orc's berserk doesn't have much effect on the battlefield.
After all, war is not a group fight, and individual force plays a very limited role in it. What really determines the outcome is the correct strategy, effective tactics, and the ability to cooperate with each other and the degree of organization to complete orders.
No matter how brave the maddened orcs were, they could only die with hatred in front of the tacitly coordinated human army and cavalry formations interspersed vertically and horizontally.
Even more orcs died not at the hands of humans, but at the hands of berserk compatriots.
Therefore, the frantic counterattack of the Warsong Legion in a desperate situation only looked scary, but in fact it was a futile death struggle.
Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Ke Lin had no time to rest, and personally led a group of blood cavalry troops, chasing after the orc army in the direction where they were fleeing.
Of course, to be more precise, he wasn't actually chasing the orc army.
Because although the orc army retreated, the actual casualties may not be greater than the human coalition army, and rash pursuit may not be able to achieve more results.
So, Colin actually went after Saruman the Great. .
The orc emperor was led into the orc army by the Duke of St. Grian and Prince Lehi after he became mad. This is another important reason why the orc army chose to retreat.
Ke Lin obviously didn't intend to let the orc emperor go so easily.
Now that the Warsong Legion is in a desperate situation, as long as the orc emperor is killed at this time, the third orc empire can be declared destroyed.
The remaining orc armies from various tribes will only become a mess again.
They will no longer be able to pose any threat to the Glorious Empire, and they are destined to be defeated one by one.
But it is said that Prince Lehi and Duke St. Grian led Emperor Saruman to the west, chasing the traces of the orc army.
Along the way, the berserk Emperor Saruman continued to slaughter his compatriots, leaving corpses everywhere behind him.
But as time passed, the speed of Saruman's slaughter gradually slowed down.
Until the end, he suddenly stood there, looking around in a daze, as if he was wondering why he appeared here.
Prince Lehi and Duke St. Grian immediately understood that Emperor Saruman must have awakened from his madness.
Then, instead of retreating, they advanced and rushed towards Saruman the Great.
Because they knew that the berserk Skull Crusher would go through a period of weakness, and since Emperor Saruman was already seriously injured, this was the best time to kill him!
Of course, Emperor Saruman was also aware of this, seeing the two paladins chasing after him, he plunged headlong into the forest without hesitation.
The forests in the mountains are lush and lush, blocking the afterglow of the setting sun.
In the quiet darkness, Emperor Saruman carefully concealed his aura as he hurried through the forest.
At this time, his sanity gradually recovered from his berserk state, and he probably guessed what happened on the battlefield just now.
And all this filled Saruman with anger and remorse.
Damn humans!
Cunning humans!
Saruman the Great knew that he had to flee back to regroup his army now, otherwise the Third Orc Empire he had built up with great difficulty would surely fall apart.
It's just that he also knows that after the destruction of the Warsong Legion, his ability to control the major tribes of the orcs has declined sharply. If he returns rashly at this time, he may not be able to subdue those rebellious tribe leaders, and may even be accused by them of being responsible for this fiasco. the culprit.
Therefore, Saruman the Great felt that he had to try to get the support of some tribal leaders first.
Just as he was thinking about which tribal leaders could be won over or intimidated by him, Emperor Saruman suddenly stopped in his tracks, as if he had noticed something unusual.
In the next second, his left fist blasted towards the dark place ahead like electricity.
In an instant, the violent air current tore through the vegetation in the forest, and the muffled rumbling sound was like thunder.
However, the blow fell to nothing.
A figure floated lightly, and the frenzied air current was blowing on him but he was immediately tamed, obediently supporting him to stand on the top of the tree.
"Your Majesty Saruman, I have no malice."
Hearing this, Emperor Saruman withdrew his attacking stance, but his body was still tense, obviously he did not fully believe the other party's words.
However, Emperor Saruman also knew that his current state was not good. If he wanted to fight recklessly, he might not be the opponent of the comer, so he could only say in a muffled voice:
"You must be Mr. Yu, right?"
Mr. Ji smiled slightly, put his left hand on his chest in a knightly gesture, and said, "I didn't expect you, Your Majesty, to have heard of me."
"What do you want?" Saruman the Great asked coldly.
Mr. Ji looked at the direction in which Emperor Saruman came, and said: "Your Majesty, the movement just now may attract some troublesome guys. Let's discuss it in another place."
After speaking, he turned and left.
Emperor Saruman hesitated for a moment, but followed.
He knew that Mr. Zhe was not a well-received character in the Glorious Empire, and perhaps this time he approached him to seek cooperation.
If it was before the First Battle in the River Valley and Plains, Emperor Saruman would never pay attention to people like Mr. Ji.
But now, Emperor Saruman will at least be patient and listen to the other party's proposal.
The two walked through the forest one after the other, and came to a small stream after a while.
The sound of gurgling water makes the surrounding environment more tranquil, and the rising crescent moon is reflected in the stream, rippling with sparkling waves.
"Tell me, what do you want?" Emperor Saruman said indifferently.
"Of course it's cooperation." Mr. Ji smiled, "After all, we have a common enemy."
Saruman the Great glanced at Mr. Ji noncommittally, and continued to ask:
"How do you want to cooperate?"
"I think..." Mr. Ji opened his mouth, but his voice gradually became lower and lower.
Emperor Saruman didn't hear it clearly, and walked a few steps closer in doubt, but still couldn't hear clearly, so he frowned and shouted:
"Speak up! What are you talking about…"
Before he finished speaking, Emperor Saruman suddenly felt a strong wave of arcane magic. At this moment, he suddenly realized that Mr. Ji was simply chanting and casting spells!
"Human beings who don't talk about faith!"
Emperor Saruman, who knew he had been deceived, let out an angry roar, and then flew towards him.
But in mid-air, the bright moonlight suddenly fell from the cracks in the trees like rain, like chains trapping Saruman the Great.
