Chapter 184 Dont want to fight again

When the Eastern March was first dispatched, there were only 3,900 troops, and now there are only 19,000 left. Combatting attrition has exceeded one third and more. This has changed the general army. I am afraid that no one can hold on with his teeth.

This is not to say how powerful the Eastern March is, it can only show that victory is indeed a stimulant for soldiers. Even among pure swords and terrifying ghosts, those temporarily recruited cannon fodder mercenaries, after the victory of the war, seemed to have been baptized. Rarely, they did not scream the hardship of the battle.

The excitement and joy brought by the victory excited the soldiers. Especially when Moore promised to give generous rewards after returning to Hindler, this kind of excitement continued.

However, soldiers can be stunned by victory, not generals.

Especially now, the downsizing of the Eastern March is really too serious. According to Dane's idea, this war can no longer continue.

Not to mention, in fact, their strategic goals have also been achieved.

At the beginning, the Eastern March crossed the Broken Dragon Peak and came to the Eastern Wasteland, constantly in the orcs' hinterland, launching a devastating cleanup of the small tribes whose troops were drawn, and even once threatened the survival of some large tribes Isn't the ultimate goal to force the orc army under the beast blood castle to withdraw?

Today, the 20,000 orcs under the Beastblood have been withdrawn-the news is accurate. In this way, the most important strategic objectives have been completed. Next, they only need to wait for the pursuit army led by Ozer, kill as many orcs as possible, and completely drive them back to the wasteland. This war is even Great victory. Without the threat of the Orc army, Ozer could free up time to deal with the aggressive Governor Conley, and the crisis facing Morno would be resolved. Perhaps there is still a chance to kill Malone in one fell swoop and completely annex Sand Bay Harbor. Dane can also get Han Haibao and the villages near the town as his territory, and obtain a forward base on the mainland. At that time, whether it is to build an orc territory in Hanhaibao, or to establish a personal clan territory, it is up to him to choose.\nAccording to Dane's idea, there is no need to fight this battle with the vanguard of the orc army. If it weren't for the troops led by Sarkins who were too aggressive and apparently trying to destroy them, Dane really didn't want to bother and kill the 4,000 orcs, what was wrong with letting them go?

But I dare not, this battle is won, everything is okay to say. The orc's vanguard army collapsed. In order to escape the pursuit of Ozer, the follow-up orc army as long as the Eastern March was not stupid to send it to the door, I am afraid the orcs have little energy to deal with them. Everything is so beautiful, and it is developing according to the best momentum. As long as no accidents occur, most of the pre-war ideas can come true.

It's not that Dane has no greater cravings, of course he does. But everything must be done within your means. This time, he decided to participate in Moreno's expedition plan, which was an adventure in itself.

However, before making this adventurous decision, anyway, he had a purpose, and also considered the issue between benefits and risks, and finally made such a decision. However, now that the strategic goals are achieved, the earnings are basically reached without any surprises, and it is not cost-effective to rush up like a mule and desperately. Moreover, under such a serious loss of military strength, the actual combat power currently possessed by the Eastern March has actually been greatly reduced. This battle is really nothing to fight.

But Moreno didn't think so.

...

The night came, and the battlefield had just been cleaned up, and the Eastern March after saying goodbye to the comrades-in-arms who had died in the war had already set up a barracks one kilometer south of the battlefield. After such a long distance, there is not much **** smell on the battlefield. After winning a victory, the soldiers have every reason to be happy and happy all night. Although it is quite a **** thing to be without a woman, you can barely cope with meat and wine.

Outside the camp, the sentrymen who were arranged were slightly unhappy. At the same time, they were also not happy with the sword-riding knights who flew in the sky and had a fight with the orc biped dragons in the day. However, for the safety of the camp, they also had to suffer a bit.

However, apart from the unhappy soldiers on duty, the generals of the Eastern March were also not very happy.

It's not just unhappy, it can even be said to be a little angry!\nThe cause was a word from General Moreno: "Sir Marin suggested that we continue all the way west to cooperate with Lord Oze's offensive and stop the Orc army from retreating. I agree with his suggestion."

When he heard this, Dane's face sank immediately. He looked at the resolute Moore and Sir Marin sitting beside him with half of his sleeves empty, and he had a clear understanding in his heart: I'm afraid that when they didn't know, they must have talked. once. Looking at this picture of Morno, it is clear that he has made up his mind. When he said this sentence, it was not a negotiated tone, it was more like a 'notification'.

Dane stood aside and looked coldly, without the first to jump out to speak. But his silence did not mean that others did not object.

"General Moreno, if the members of the Eastern March were as complete as when they first entered the Eastern Wasteland, I will not oppose your order. But now, our strength has been greatly reduced. The soldiers are now I was so exhausted after the wars, I'm afraid I can't complete the task of blocking the orc army? "

Aleksandarina expressed her objections politely ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ After the woman spoke, Chapel also opened his mouth to persuade: "Mr. General, Captain Linna said what makes sense, We are now ... really may not be able to complete the mission of Governor Ozer. With less than two thousand troops, before the orc army with a size of at least 15,000 or more, it is no less than a mantis arm as a cart, we will be crushed It has to be crushed. "

Chapul's mind is still quite clear. Following him, Radis, who has always been belligerent, also persuaded: "Boss, we can teach those orcs any time, but this time, our strength is really not enough. .I feel it, or think again? "

It's okay for Alyssa Delina to object, even if two of his important men expressed opposition, Moreno hesitated. He glanced at Marin next to him, and the two looked as if they were looking at each other.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Orc Overseer thought about it a little bit, and finally made his own decision: "I have decided, I will rest for half a day tomorrow and set off in the afternoon!"
