An hour later, an even larger army of Demons appeared in the vicinity of the Blazing Sentry Post. The leader of this army was an NPC Demons who looked to be over fifty years old. However, this general's eyes were extremely cold. It was obvious how much he wanted to kill.
It was only right for him to want to kill. Right now, the Blazing Sentry Post's entrance was practically paved with the corpses of Demons. At a glance, the ground was littered with the corpses of Demons. Although he had just received a report from a mounted scout that the vanguard had been attacked by a large group of humans, he had immediately sped up and rushed over. However, halfway through his journey, he received a report that the vanguard had been defeated and was in the process of dispersing.
Originally, he thought that the defeat of his team would be a little shameful, but now it seemed that there was no shameful limit for him at all. Just counting the corpses on the ground, there were six to seven thousand, and no matter how he counted the human corpses, there were no more than a thousand. This was simply a crushing defeat, a defeat that even they had no face left.
"Marshal! We found the corpse of General Morkens, but his head has been cut off by the enemy, "a mounted scout rushed to Gordon and reported carefully.
"Where's Lieutenant Wayne? Has he woken up? "Gordon shouted loudly.
"He has woken up, but his injuries are too severe. He can't move for the time being …" the mounted scout said carefully when he heard Gordon's angry tone.
"Bring him over!" Gordon said immediately.
A moment later, Morkens' Lieutenant Wayne, who was lying on a wooden plank, was carried over to Gordon by a few soldiers. Although he had been treated with healing spells, Wayne's injuries were too severe to be healed by healing spells. Lying on the plank, Wayne looked extremely weak.
"Speak. How did you lose?" Gordon asked as he stood in front of Wayne.
"We were preparing to march when the local army suddenly turned out in full force. The enemy's general ambushed General Morkens and then separated me and General Morkens from the main army. The entire army launched an all-out assault and … defeated us in one fell swoop," Wayne reported while enduring the pain.
"Idiot! Morkens, that idiot! " Gordon couldn't hold back his anger any longer. "He was separated from the main army and rashly attacked the enemy's general alone. As the main general, he actually didn't command the army to fight the enemy's general. What an idiot!"
"We didn't expect the Human Race to launch an all-out attack. We were caught unprepared …" Wayne immediately said.
"Yeah, it's a little strange. Why would the human army attack? Shouldn't they be preparing to retreat …" Gordon said in confusion. "Who's the enemy's commander? Is Marlindorf dead or not? "
"From afar, I saw the marshal's guards surrounding three people. The leader was a very young man with two women behind him. Because I was too far away, I couldn't see what they looked like. But I'm sure it wasn't Marlindolf." Wayne also looked at the opponent's formation from the hillside, but he really couldn't see Li Huailin's appearance clearly.
"Young man? Who is it? " Gordon was a little confused. Marlindolph had a son, but his son was still working as a diplomat in the Dwarf Empire. He had just confirmed it yesterday, so it was impossible for him to return today. Could this young man be the new human commander? He had never heard of this person before.
"What's the situation now?" Gordon asked after some thought.
"After the enemy defeated us, they suddenly retreated. I've also cleaned up the defeated soldiers and realized that less than a thousand of them returned. But for some reason, they didn't come out to chase us. We're waiting for the marshal's main force here," Wayne immediately replied.
"Huh? You said they didn't chase us? "Gordon glanced over and asked seriously.
"Yes, they could have killed us all. After all, the human swords didn't even move out. But for some reason, they didn't chase us … Instead, they suddenly retreated …" Wayne said.
"Damn it!" Gordon immediately cursed. "You idiot, you've all been fooled. Quick, send scouts into the enemy's camp to take a look!"
"Into the enemy's camp?" a soldier next to him asked. Wouldn't they be shot into a sieve before they could even get close?
"They f * cking ran long ago! Go and take a look! "Gordon yelled.
Ten minutes later, Gordon appeared in the middle of Henasand's camp. As expected, the entire camp was empty. They didn't receive any retaliation at all, and they swaggered into the human camp.
"Damn it … that intel is real … the enemy is really in a hurry to retreat …" Gordon was really annoyed now. He had lost ten thousand troops in an instant. Although he had obtained the camp, the enemy was just trying to retreat. It seemed like the enemy's plan was very successful. They had taken the initiative to attack and wiped out his troops in an instant. Then, they immediately retreated before his troops arrived.
"Reporting, marshal. We found more than three hundred injured human soldiers," a soldier of the Demons who was searching the camp reported.
"Kill them all!" Gordon was in a bad mood. It seemed like the enemy's commander had considered that they had to hurry on with their journey, so they left the injured soldiers who were unable to move in the camp.
"Marshal, what do we do now?" a slightly younger general of the Demons immediately asked.
"Pursue them, pursue them immediately!" Gordon said after a slight hesitation. "They have only run for an hour. If we pursue them with all our might, we should be able to catch up. Even if we can't, there are enemies in front of them. We can chase them until they are exhausted, and then we can eliminate them with a pincer attack."
"There are enemies in front of them? Could it be Filmus' troops? "the general of the Demons asked.
"Hehe, humans love infighting. It seems like we have a chance this time," Gordon said with a smile. "Let's go. Pursue them immediately!"
"The Marshal has ordered for all troops to advance towards the west!" The general at the side immediately passed down the order layer by layer.
The entire army of Demons immediately moved and chased towards the west. However, even though they were in pursuit, Gordon's troops advanced in an orderly manner. The troops advanced in an orderly manner, and the soldiers had also trained in emergency marching. Everyone trotted forward in an orderly manner. Not only did this conserve energy, but it also allowed them to maintain their formation.
Gordon was in the middle of the troops. Now, as he rode on his horse, he was thinking about the current situation. Who was the current commander of the second human army? Was it Veronica? No … Veronica Gordon knew that although this woman was an excellent Magician, her commanding ability was not very good. She would have no problem in a small-scale battle of a thousand people, but a battle of tens of thousands was not something she could command. Could it be Lieutenant General Maccon? No … that was not it either. Maccon was a very conservative general. Like Malindolf, he was a general who was good at defense. This kind of extremely aggressive command style did not seem like Maccon's style at all. After eliminating the two most likely candidates, Gordon remembered the young man who was surrounded by the guards that Wyne had mentioned. He had never heard of such a general in the second army. Who was this person who popped out of nowhere?
"Marshal! Marshal! " Gordon, who was distracted, suddenly heard someone calling him. He looked up and saw that it was his cavalry captain, Migles.
"Migles? Why aren't you with the cavalry in front? What are you doing here? " Gordon asked. Migles should be leading the cavalry at the front. What was he doing in the middle of the troops?
"Marshal, I think it's a little strange. Look at the forest on both sides of the road, and there are no sounds of birds or beasts. I think there might be an ambush," Migles said immediately.
"What?" Gordon was suddenly shocked. He immediately looked to both sides. It was indeed as Migles said. There were trees all around, and the terrain was much higher than the road in the middle. This … this was simply the best place for an ambush. If he was leading the troops, the ambush would also be set in such a place. He also noticed that there were no sounds of birds or beasts in the surrounding forest. Could it be that the soldiers who went in to ambush had already scared away the birds and beasts … Gordon began to sweat at this thought.
Thinking of this, Gordon began to sweat. He had been a little careless just now. Because of Marlindolf's death, the 2nd Division was like a dragon without a leader. He thought that the human army would immediately retreat, especially when he saw that the human army had left the wounded soldiers behind. This was simply telling him that the army was in a hurry and couldn't take the wounded soldiers with them. This had numbed his thoughts and made him want to chase after them immediately. Now that he thought about it, it was all a trap, and he had been led into a trap step by step.
"All troops, stop!" Gordon's expression changed drastically, and he immediately raised his hand.
"All troops, stop!" "All troops, stop!" The messenger immediately passed Gordon's words to the front and back of the army. The mighty army of Demons suddenly stopped.
"Marshal!" Miggs knew that things were bad when he saw Gordon's expression. He was just making a random guess, and he was just a little confused. Now, it seemed like it might be true.
"It's over … I actually …" Gordon rubbed his face fiercely. What should he do now? Should he retreat, or should he stay where he was and defend? Or should he charge forward at full speed? This … this was not a good choice. He had lost one move after another. Gordon gripped the hilt of his saber tightly. He was so injured that he almost bled.
"Ah … seems like I've been discovered." Suddenly, a voice came from the hillside to Gordon's right. Gordon immediately looked up and saw a very young man standing on the hillside, smiling as he looked down at the tens of thousands of Demons.
"Who is it!" Miggs immediately shouted at Li Huailin.
"The current commander of the second human army?" Gordon took a deep breath and asked Li Huailin.
"What?" Miggs looked at Li Huailin in shock. He couldn't believe it.
"I'm the current commander of the second army, Big Heart Ruolin. Gordon, right? Nice to meet you. Hello, Gordon. Goodbye, Gordon. "Li Huailin waved his hand after saying that." Kill them. Don't give me any face. Beat them to death. "
Rows of black heads flashed in the forest on both sides. Gordon and Miggs' expressions changed drastically at the same time.
