Chapter 59: The Battle of Black Rock Mountain (Part 2)
After crossing the hills, Orgrim found that he was not as happy as he thought.
All this went too smoothly, and it was a bit unreal. And Orgrim discovered that after crossing the nameless hills, he still seemed to have not escaped from the encirclement!
The tribe still encountered many enemies while marching, but only some stragglers, ranging from dozens of people to hundreds.
These enemies were almost at a loss and did not engage in many entanglements. They just used bows or muskets to attack them from a long distance on the flanks. Almost every time they attacked, some of the troops would be distributed from the orc army to pursue them.
Orgrim really has no way to stop the soldiers from leaving the team without authorization. Such an annoying harassment can most anger the bloodthirsty orcs. Even the chiefs cannot stop the orcs from tearing the enemy apart.
Although such a series of harassments could not cause harm to the troops, they could fully destroy the orc's fighting will. Orgrim finally realized that he might have fallen into the trap of the alliance, and there were afraid that there would be more enemies waiting for him in front.
This feeling of being plotted made Orgrim extremely aggrieved. He really wanted to find a place where no one was, and yelled wildly. But he knew very clearly that it was not possible. If even he, the chieftain, collapsed, the orcs following him would all die in this gray-black scorched earth.
Thinking of this, Orgrim couldn't help but feel guilty for everyone behind him. Most of the orcs had not realized that they had fallen into the trap of the alliance, and they were still looking forward to the land of Red Ridge Mountain.
‘Okay! I want to see what kind of enemies are waiting for me in front. Even if I die, I have to save some orcs from successfully breaking through! Even if only a few orcs can start a new life, I will not lose completely!’
After understanding all this, Orgrim became calm. He chose to die calmly, as long as he could leave a little spark for the orcs.
...
"Commander-in-chief, the orcs accelerated their march. They ignored the harassment on the flanks..."
Speaking of this, the scout who reported to Tulayang calculated the time.
"It is expected that in another hour they will reach the Coke Canyon and come into contact with Marshal Lothar."
"The orcs probably have seen through our intentions. The entire army will speed up immediately and the two wings must complete the encirclement as soon as possible! The Marshal only has more than 2,000 troops. Every time we slow down, the Marshal will have one more dangerous place!"
Coke Canyon is the long canyon that enters the Burning Plain from Red Ridge Mountain. Later it was named Black Stone Canyon, which was entrenched here. But now, it is only the Coke Canyon named after its landform.
Because of the narrow and long terrain here, no matter how much troops are invested, it is impossible to increase the width of the battlefield. So Losa only brought two thousand people from the Iron Horse Brotherhood and more than two hundred people from Li De.
However, the scouts underestimated the orcs' marching speed. Orgrim drew a beautiful vision for the orcs and used the land of the Red Ridge Mountain to inspire the orcs to march quickly.
In just half an hour, four thousand orcs entered the Coke Canyon. As long as they crossed this canyon, they could reach Red Ridge Mountain!
Compared to the excitement of other orcs, Orgrim's heart became tense. He had guessed that the orcs would encounter the most intense obstacle here.
Sure enough, as soon as they entered the canyon, the orcs saw the Alliance army in front of them. In the center of the team, it was the Alliance's "Seven Star DL Flag". What surprised them even more was that there was a slightly shorter flagpole standing next to the Alliance flag, and the lion flag hanging on it was the symbol of the Storm Kingdom!
Commander Losa stood at the front of the team and shouted loudly toward this side.
"Orgrim! I've been waiting here for a long time! Have you seen that flag?! I will not let any orc's feet step onto the land of the Storm Kingdom!"
The territory of the Storm Kingdom includes the Elvin Forest, the Western Wilderness, the Sunshine Woods and the Red Ridge Mountains. At this time, Rosa led almost all the soldiers of the Storm Kingdom. What was fluttering on their heads was also the flag of the Storm Kingdom. This sentence by Rosa was like throwing a spark in an oil barrel, instantly igniting everyone's fighting will!
Even the trolls under Li De were infected by this high fighting spirit, shouted unceremoniously, and made provocative actions to the orcs on the opposite side.
"Losa!!!"
Orgrim roared, but he felt a little relieved. Sure enough, the old opponent who accompanied him to finish this last stop was still this last opponent.
"The land is right ahead, kill them!"
Without redundant nonsense, Orgrim swung the hammer of destruction and rushed to the front, and the orcs were moved by the interests and followed closely.
The two sides fought a final decisive battle in this narrow valley.
Lothar's students, Gavinlad, who was also the first five Paladins, took several of his students to charge forward and bravely faced the orc army.
With the Second Orc War onwards, the original five Paladins began to share the Way of Holy Light with other warriors. Now there are nearly twenty Paladins in the entire alliance army. Following Gavinlad are several Paladins he trained.
When the two sides met on a narrow road, no one could retreat, and there was no room for dodging. The battle was surprisingly tragic. Orgrim found that his troops were superior and fought even harder, trying to break through the bottom of the bag.
"Angegagu, you will climb up the rock walls on both sides with your hunter troops and provide cover for us!"
Although the troops were small, Li De was definitely not here to make a comeback. After giving orders to cover a special army, Li De put on his helmet and led his 100-man team into the battlefield.
The whipster's energy storm was raging. Almost every slash could take away the life of an orc. A gap was quickly cleared between the orcs, and the elite soldiers of a hundred people followed closely, waving their long swords to form a circular formation.
Everyone was in a uniform and uniform manner, like a monster covered in sharp teeth, rolling back and forth in the middle of the battlefield, which also led to more orcs staring at Li De and the others.
The combat effectiveness shown by Li De's team surprised Losa, but he also realized that Li De, who had penetrated deep into the enemy, was in danger, so Losa led his troops to help Li De without hesitation!
The battles in the valley became more and more fierce, and many orcs who remained outside the valley also poured into the valley one after another, adding new life to this flesh-and-blood mill.
Such a high-intensity battle lasted for more than half an hour, and neither side knew how many casualties were.
At this moment, Tulayang finally arrived with the main force, and he immediately ordered both sides to complete the encirclement. The orcs surrounded outside the valley suddenly became panic, but at the same time launched a crazy counterattack.
"Don't rush to annihilate the enemy, and order both sides to attack the valley entrance with all their might and break the connection between the outside and the inside of the valley!"
Turayan knew that if the orcs were allowed to continuously replenish their troops into the valley, Lothar would be very dangerous. So after completing the large encirclement, the first thing he did was to cut the orc troops.
Leave the two thousand orcs behind outside the valley and eat them bite by bit. At the same time, more troops were sent into the valley and attacked the orcs in the valley front and back.
"Great Chief! Enemies also appeared in our rear! The troops outside the valley were also surrounded!"
Orgrim, who was fighting, was stunned when he heard the report from his subordinates, wiped the blood from his face, and looked at the decreasing soldiers in the valley, how could he not know that the situation was hopeless?
He fought with all his might without hesitation, and he was still 200 meters away from breaking through the alliance's position. But this short 200 meters became a gap between life and death!
He couldn't rush anyway, and there were less than thirty people who could follow him to break through here. It seems that even if only a few orcs completed the breakthrough, this goal would not be achieved.
Orgrim, in desperate situation, showed a ruthless look on his face. Even if he died, he would take away the commander of the alliance!
Orgrim immediately turned around and rushed towards the center of the battlefield, where Lothar was like the most ordinary soldier, wielding his sword to fight against the orcs.
"Losa!!! Come on! Don't be a coward!!!"
Orgrim's shouts covered all the shouts of killing, and he could hear his invitation to Lothar almost on the entire battlefield. The soldiers along the way also subconsciously made way. It seemed that this decisive battle would end with the duel between the commanders of both sides.
The orc chief was like a cannonball, with violent elemental power flashing on the hammer of destruction. Since the tribe abandoned the shaman tradition, the element has abandoned the orc. This weapon full of elemental magic has never received any response from the element. But at this moment, under Orgrim's life, the element seems to have also come back.
Losa also roared angrily, and the anger filled his body caused a blood-red halo to appear all over Losa. In this halo, there was a trace of golden light mixed with it! Losa was a warrior. He had never learned about the Holy Light, but at this moment his bravery and justice were also favored by the Holy Light.
"Clang!!!"
The long sword collided with the warhammer, and the soldiers of the alliance were heartbroken in just one round: they could clearly feel that Losa was at a disadvantage. Medivh's magic caused irreparable damage to Losa. Faced with the same powerful heroic warrior Orgrim, Losa was timid.
At the same time, Li De felt inexplicably in the battlefield. He cut over two beast soldiers who were entangled with him and roared.
"What are you stupid? The Hundreds, follow me, protect the marshal, and capture Orgrim alive!!!"
The first rule of the Hundreds' military rules was to obey the command and follow Li De without hesitation.
This behavior of interfering in duel made everyone confused. After Losa failed in the first round, he wanted to rush forward but was stopped by Li De!
"Orgrim, can you get some shame with the legendary weapon bullying standard equipment?"
While angrily scolding him, the whipster who was as wide as the door panel hit him down.
Caught off guard, Orgrim held a hammer with one hand and resisted the heavy blow. He was shocked by the dragon's power. After struggling to pass through the breath, he cursed angrily.
"Who is you, a despicable guy?! Interfering in the duel of a warrior, is this an insult to me! Do you have the honor of being a warrior?!"
Li De didn't care about him? If it weren't for not catching this guy in the previous melee, he would have wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first.
Orgrim can be said to be the strongest opponent that Li De has encountered so far, and he can withstand the power of the dragon even with one hand. If he fights alone, Li De probably cannot beat the opponent.
But the question is, is Li De fighting alone with him? The Hundreds surrounded him, and in an instant, the sword was filled with light as if it had broken a silver basin.
If it weren't for Orgrim, anyone else would have to be chopped into meat sauce.
Orgrim, who was surrounded in the middle, was struggling to make ends meet. Lothar, who was blocked from the battle circle, was hesitant because of the interference of the duel. But looking at Orgrim's appearance, he finally sighed and decided to give this old opponent a decent ending.
"Losa! Do you want to be a despicable villain too?!"
Seeing that Losa also participated in the siege, Orgrim seemed even more angry. Losa did not say anything, and such behavior really made him feel ashamed. He could only bite the bullet and make the sword sharper.
Finally, Lothar cut Orgrim's arm with a sword. Li De seized the opportunity and knocked the hammer away with his sword.
Orgrim, who had lost his weapon, closed his eyes, and his humiliation was unwilling to accept his death. However, Lothar immediately put the sword on the side of his neck and shouted in his mouth.
"He has been captured, stop!"
Although the Centuries only followed Li De's orders, they were also under Lossa's command. This time they really hesitated. They put the long sword on Orgrim's head and looked at Li De hesitantly, wondering if they wanted to cut it down.
"Stop it all."
Li De waved his hand, and then looked around, and the orcs in the valley gave up their resistance. It turned out that Tulayang personally led the team to support him. Under the general trend, the orcs had no choice but to surrender and accepted the miserable fact of defeat.
When Orgrim was tied up, he kept cursing that Lothar and Lid were despicable villains and lost his glory as warriors.
When he was lying to Kilrog before, that guy was also in this way. Li De didn't pay attention to Kilrog at that time, but now he finally couldn't help it.
He walked to Orgrim and replied to the other party's fierce light, wishing he could eat his fierce light, and said disdainfully.
"You seem to have forgotten your identity, an invader, a war criminal, and are not qualified to talk about honor. At least you are still alive and have the strength to yell. But I can't hear King Ryan, those comrades, and countless people of the Storm Kingdom again."
Orgrim was speechless by these words. He stopped talking and just let the soldiers push him away with a cold face.
The decisive battle with the orcs finally won a great victory, but when counting the casualties, everyone couldn't be happy. The Iron Horse Brothers lost more than 800 people, and Li De's 100 team also suffered thirty casualties!
Li De asked Martinray sadly if these sacrificed brothers still have family members. If they still have family members, they should do their best to find them and receive the best care from Hanhai Dudu to them.
Luo Sa watched all this silently, and after a long time, he walked to Li De and sighed.
“You are dealing with it right.”
As for whether Li De's placement of the family of the sacrificed soldiers or the previous act of interfering in duels, only Losa himself knew it.
But Li De did not continue Losa's words, and he suddenly said something, which caught Losa off guard.
"Marson, did you plan to let yourself die in this battle before?"
