Chapter 468: Defending on the spot
The town of Marcus, where the Orcs are stationed, is in chaos.
Since several governors did not have direct leaders, their opinions were very difficult to unify. In addition, Loji, a messenger, always put forward some wild ideas, and the scene became even more chaotic.
The most hit was Frey, who was irritable. He devoted himself to the construction of the defense line and spent many days guarding the expeditionary force across the Mobis River. He was confidently waiting for the enemy to charge, but found that the real enemy actually appeared in the rear.
His mood was broken at this moment.
"No, we must also build a line of defense on the west side!"
He picked up the telescope and looked across the river. He confirmed that the expeditionary force there was no abnormal movement before he felt relieved. "Luoji! Why didn't you detect the humans attacking the rear?"
I started to blame again, although from a certain perspective, it was fine to blame.
Loji said innocently: "How do I know? It's all the blame for those humans being too cunning."
Except for two people who had never appeared, there was no difference between the other soldiers. Seeing that she was indifferent to the situation, Frey had no choice but to do anything to her.
And he didn't know what role Loji played in this matter in his heart, and he thought she was indeed innocent, and it was just because of his personality.
"Don't say this, the key question is, what should I do now?" Governor Frig was as gentle as ever, even though the situation was not good now.
In addition, there is a general in charge here, which adds up all the super combat power of the Orc Legion at this moment.
But they had no idea what to do about this issue. They could not defeat the expeditionary army at the pass during their heyday. Now they lost their troops and were attacked from both sides, so the winning rate was even lower.
After a moment of silence, Frey suddenly said, "We have to go find Thor and Tyre."
"no."
Frig immediately refused, "Their affairs are very important, and you can't look for them until they are desperate."
"Isn't it too late yet?!"
Frege was almost roaring. The more fragile a person is, the more he likes to be strong.
Loji took the opportunity to make a fuss: "I haven't fought with them yet, aren't we? We were just careless before."
Her purpose was to delay as much as possible and prevent Thor and Tyer, the two most powerful governors, from coming out, so that the expeditionary forces could destroy the orcs as much as possible before that, and then beat more people and fewer people.
However, another general, Sif, also agreed with Frey's opinion: "I don't know how they found the factory location, but now our situation is very unfavorable. If both sides launch an attack at the same time... Anyway, there are a few people who are very strong."
Frey quickly agreed: "And I always feel that he can always predict our actions in advance. It's so fucking strange. Such a weird thing must be solved by those two. At least one, preferably Tyre."
Two to two, and finally parted in an unhappy way. Luo Ji played her role, leaving no discussion of the matter, so the few people had to leave secretly.
Frig walked at the end, staring at the three figures in front of him, thinking.
...
"Route one is from here to the foundry, and route two is to go to Marcus Town. This is their rear. There may be some resistance on the road. The key is to see which direction we choose."
Chu Xiaojun pointed to the map hanging on the wall and said.
"I suggest that you wait until the reinforcements arrive before carrying out the next step of action. There are still many refugees here that need protection, and it is not convenient to move back under such circumstances." Xu Ling said.
The raided team set out from the fortress at the pass, crossing mountains and ridges along the way was based on the body of a warrior. If an ordinary person wanted to cross these distances, the time would have to be calculated exponentially.
What's more, the rescued people are malnourished for a long time and have poor physical fitness and cannot support them in the long journey.
Chu Xiaojun smiled and said, "Why are you becoming conservative now? Of course I know that the current situation is quite embarrassing. It is precisely because of this that we have to consider how to break the deadlock."
Xu Ling nodded: "I understand what you mean. If the orc army in Marcus Town burns its boats and sends people to encircle and suppress them together with the foundry, we have not many troops here and cannot defend them."
"Yes, so I'm considering whether to take the initiative first. Let's fight the foundry, which will make it easier to defend."
"But the damage to the war will not be small." Zhu Talan also participated.
There is only one orc army in this factory area. It is just right for these people to fight, and there are a small number of casualties. However, two legions are stationed in the foundry. If you want to fight, you may not be able to win it down with the top combat powers like Xu Ling and Zhu Talan.
But the problem is that if the foundry is taken down and causes large-scale casualties on our side, it is no different from losing.
In fact, the situation in the factory area is not optimistic now. The conservatively estimated that nearly 10,000 refugees rescued were nearly 10,000. To save so many people, it is not enough to rely on hundreds of warriors in the raid team.
Now the temporary command has lost contact with the command of the large army. I don’t know what the orc army is planning there, but I’m afraid they will suddenly turn around and launch an attack.
Xu Ling thought for a while and said, "I don't think they are too radical. With Luo Ji here, she will definitely understand our situation and find a way to delay."
"Well, I don't think there is a need to be too pessimistic."
Zhu Talan said, "When the communication team is almost recovering, just ask them to set off immediately and bring some non-warrior troops to support him."
It is more advantageous to defend the position or to hold troops who look at magic crystal firearms.
"Then... build a defensive position on the spot?"
"I think it's OK."
In the end, everyone decided unanimously that no matter what, they would first keep this place.
The reason why I have to keep it is not only because of the refugees, but also because of the location here.
Marcus Town is west of the Mobis River, across the river from the main force of the Expeditionary Force, and the factory area is located to the northwest of it. Once it is completely occupied, it can form a clamp-shaped offensive with the main force at any time, allowing the orc army of Marcus Town to be attacked from both sides.
Even if you don't attack Marcus Town directly in the end, you can stay behind to block the foundry and the legion that even Loki doesn't know what he is doing to support the front line.
After deciding on the strategy, everyone went to survey the terrain of the scene. Along the way, many refugees came to say hello. After being rescued, they owned the house where the orcs used to live and the meat of the monsters to eat. Most importantly, they were no longer slaves of alien races, so they naturally knew who to thank.
Several people came to the outer edge of the city and saw that the fortifications everywhere were destroyed.
Zhu Talan felt a little headache: "Tsk, it's a pity that I couldn't care about so much at that time. It's quite troublesome to rebuild now."
At this time, the few people suddenly felt someone tiptoing toward each other. They were all warriors who had experienced many battles. They were very alert to this aura, and they all tense their bodies, and if there was any abnormal movement, they would attack.
However, after turning around, they found that the refugee wearing a safety helmet was approaching. Judging from his clothes, he should have the knowledge required by orcs, so his status was relatively higher.
