Chapter 525 [What I hope to happen most]

The fortress was filled with roars inside and outside, and the violent smell of males was filled with.

But at this moment, with the sound of the wind, a faint sound of drums came.

The sound of the drums seemed to have a strange rhythm, but appeared and disappeared in the wind.

The first person to hear the drums was Montoya. He immediately pushed away a soldier beside him, and his originally excited face suddenly became serious. Montoya rushed into the fortress quickly, rushed upstairs, stood behind the mercedes, picked up his monocular lens and looked to the north...

"Damn it!"

Montoya cursed fiercely.

...

On the vast white ground, there seemed to be a piece of black ants slowly squirming.

More than a dozen small square arrays were tidy and tidily advancing southward on the snow.

Just in the middle of these more than ten square formations, several giant beasts were covered with ropes, crawling in the snow, raising their heads from time to time to spew out hot white air from their thick nostrils.

Behind these giant beasts, more than a dozen thick knots were connected to a huge wooden car. There was a round drum on the car, a majestic orc with naked upper body, with hair on its head shaved, revealing its bare head, holding two bone hammers in both hands, and beating the drum one by one.

Just next to this wooden car, there were several orc warriors wearing leather armor, holding thick horns in their hands, puffing their cheeks and blew them hard.

The whimpering horns, coupled with the sound of drums with a strange rhythm, seemed to have a faint smell of solemnity!

...

"Orcs! It's the orcs' army!"

Montoya clenched his fist and smashed it hard on the wall.

Although he only took a few rough glances, Montoya immediately made his own judgment.

This should be considered a "regular army" of orcs!

Through the observation of the telescope, these orcs have at least basic leather armor protective gear. Although the weapons in their hands are still very mixed, there are long and short, there are swords, hammers and axes.

But at least, the square array queues they arranged are barely neat. It can be seen that at least they have received relatively rigorous militarized training and are definitely not a mob.

What’s more important is their number!

The more than ten small square formations, each of which is composed of hundreds of orc warriors.

In other words, the number of this orc army is about 1,500.

"All assemble...be ready! We evacuate here immediately!"

Montoya issued his own order.

This is a difficult but wise decision.

Montoya led only an advance cavalry unit.

And there are only about two hundred people stationed in this fortress now.

In order to control the surrounding area, Montoya divided his thousand cavalry into three groups and stationed in the three closest fortresses around them to increase the thickness of the defense zone.

Currently, it is only 200 people here. Even if everyone is on horseback and charges with horsepower, it is difficult to defeat the 1,500 orc regular army with the advantage of cavalry over infantry.

Although these orc regular soldiers are all infantry, the snow-covered snow will minimize the cavalry's charge power in this icy and snowy wilderness.

It is not a wise move to shake the strong with the weak.

"Everyone is quicker! Go behind and lead the horse! Let's leave here immediately! Hurry!"

The orc army did not move fast, it was obvious that the vanguard scouts of the orc army had just been wiped out by Montoya. The marching of this main force was very cautious. Perhaps it had been discovered that the vanguard scouts had been wiped out, and this orc army seemed even more cautious. It seemed that they had made up their minds to advance slowly with the main force and crush them all the way.

"Sir, where will we retreat?"

An officer next to him asked Montoya for orders.

Montoya rushed downstairs and rushed outside the fortress. After looking at the weather, he quickly said: "Send two groups of people to contact the other two teams of cavalry, so that they can retreat immediately after they get the order! We gather at Fort Seven in the south! It is the largest fortress nearby! Where can we form a line of defense to deal with these orcs!"

Speaking of this, Montoya looked around and the soldiers seemed to be a little weird - after all, he had just fought a bloody battle and won a victory, but he was about to escape in a blink of an eye. It always made people feel like they were full of passion, but they were immediately poured with a bucket of cold water.

"Don't worry, everyone! Lord Darling Chen is behind us! He has come to support us with three thousand troops! Let's go to Fort No. 7! Where is the burial place for these orcs!!"

Montoya's men had already led the horse over. Montoya rolled over, raised his fist and shouted loudly: "I will win!!"

...

…………

When it was dark, Chen Daolin led the brigade of the central army to Fortress No. 7.

He had already seen the fast horse cavalry sent by Montoya to report the news on the way.

Fort No. 7 is a relatively large fortress group north of the Northwest Fortress. Of course, it had its own name, but for the sake of easy identification, Chen Daolin changed its name to Fort No. 7 on the military map.

In fact, the fortress has been sold to the Liszt's chamber of commerce according to the previous auction.

It’s just that the Liszt family’s escort has not yet entered.

This fortress has relatively complete fortifications, with the main building of the fortress, a Tibetan camp, and even two corridors leading to two sub-forts on both sides.

There is also a circle of low walls on the periphery, which serves as a fortification on the periphery.

There is also a forest about five hundred meters south of the fortress.

The geographical location here is very good. Although the fortress is not as good as the real military fortresses of the Empire, you can say that sparrows are small and have all the internal organs.

The entire fortress can accommodate more than 1,000 soldiers. If a low wall is added as an outer defense, it can accommodate 1,500 soldiers to participate in defensive battles at the same time. The hidden soldiers cave excavated underground inside the fortress can be used as a command post and can also accommodate hundreds of reserve teams.

With the arrival of the three thousand people brought by Chen Daolin, the morale of the soldiers originally under Montoya's troops in the fort increased.

When the army entered the low wall, the soldiers of the cavalry group who were burning fire around the low wall stood up and saluted Chen Daolin.

Chen Daolin jumped off the carriage and returned the salute to the soldiers according to the etiquette of the Wushuang Martial Saint Sect, and then walked into the fortress surrounded by people around him.

Montoya's eyes were covered with blood, and it was obvious that the iron-clad man was also a little tired.

When he saw Chen Daolin, Montoya bowed his head and saluted. Chen Daolin had already pulled him up.

"Tell me, what the situation is, the person you sent is too vague."

Montoya rubbed his cheek hard: "The orcs' army should be considered regular troops, with a number of about 1,500. It is right north of us."

"Is the number accurate?" Chen Daolin frowned: "I don't want to hit halfway, and another group of orcs emerged."

"It should be accurate." Montoya said steadily: "It has been two days since we retreated here. I sent four groups of scouts to disperse for reconnaissance. The opponent's troops were only one thousand five hundred. There were no traces of other orc troops on their left and right and behind them. I think... this should be all the troops sent by the orcs this time."

Chen Daolin narrowed his eyes and thought: "Well, it's not much different from my judgment."

Montoya looked at Chen Daolin in surprise.

Chen Daolin first walked aside and sat on the chair, then smiled and said, "Don't forget. The orcs' kingdom is more complicated than that of us Roland people.

Orcs are tribal, and of course they can mobilize armies of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. But don’t forget that those hundreds of thousands of troops are distributed in dozens or even hundreds of tribes of large and small in the entire orc kingdom. Even if the orc king wants to fight a national war, he needs to mobilize armies of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. It will take a process. Moreover, mobilizing such a huge army is not a decision that can be made casually.

And there are actually some contradictions inside them. The cattle tribe, the tiger tribe, and the wolf tribe... Think about it, how many tribes do they have? Haha!

We have only taken over the Northwest Fortress for a few months. Where did the news spread to them? They always have to verify the news. They need to test and inquire... Where can I have time to mobilize a real army?

So, if I guess correctly, what we are facing should be in the south of the Orc Kingdom, a tribe with great strength, who got the news from us and came to find some cheaper things.

If you can send out one or two thousand regular soldiers, such a tribe is already considered a very powerful tribe."

Montoya was stunned. He didn't expect that the adult he was loyal to had such a deep understanding of the orc kingdom.

Isn't he... a magician?

Rubbing his face, Montoya slowly said: "There are no more than 1,500 orc warriors. My lord, although we have more numbers than them, the quality of our army is not as good as that of these orcs. In addition to the larger number, our individual soldiers are not as good as orcs. In addition, the proficiency, coordination, and tacit understanding of the army are far inferior to that of the..."

"So we have to play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses." Chen Daolin said lightly: "I don't plan to fight with the orcs. We have finally accumulated these wealth. I don't want to fight with these orcs to a great loss of vitality. Don't worry, Montoya, I have a clear mind. This battle, my purpose is very simple. I just want our army to truly learn to fight. Well... just treat it as a practical teaching war. Although it will inevitably die."

Speaking of this, Chen Daolin frowned and looked at Montoya: "How many days have you been sleeping?"

"...Three days." Montoya gritted his teeth: "There is no way. I always have to keep an eye on the defense line, otherwise I will not feel at ease. Also... I took the initiative to evacuate here. I deliberately gave up several fortresses in the north. I thought orcs would occupy there... They would definitely divide their troops to occupy those places. In this way, if they want to leave people to station, they would weaken their troops, and... "

"Okay, okay, don't worry, since I'm here, I will deal with these things."

Chen Daolin patted Montoya on the shoulder and said seriously: "Now I order you to have a sleep! I don't want my bravest general to fall asleep on the back of the horse while charging, and fall off the horse!"

Montoya was stunned.

Chen Daolin immediately smiled and said, "Go to sleep! I think the orcs will arrive here tomorrow night at the latest. A big battle is inevitable. At that time, I need your force! Montoya, go and cultivate your spirits! I need a Montoya in 100% state!"

The Holy Knight felt aroused in his heart, bowed his head to Chen Daolin and then walked down quickly.

Chen Daolin walked to the wall and looked at a military map hanging on the wall, and was stunned for a while.

Then, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

...

"No! We must send troops!!!"

Span roared angrily: "Only with Darlingchen's strength, we can't protect the Northwest Fortress! Panning! Think about it with your brain! That's the Northwest Fortress! Damn it! Our scouts have discovered that the prairie people's troops have passed through the Tulips' territory and have begun to spy on our defense! At this time, if the orcs come from the Northwest Fortress! We will be attacked on both sides! We can't afford it! Panning!! Make a decision quickly!!"

Panin was concentrating, thinking about something.

"You...what are you thinking about!! That guy Darling Chen is a magician!! Hell! No matter how powerful the magician is, he is just a person! A magician cannot protect the entire Northwest Fortress!! The Northwest Fortress is related to the national destiny!!"
