Marshal Haken was waiting for the arrival of the Demons at the gate of the encampment of the 2nd orc corps. They were about to arrive.
Haken was a bit nervous. The messenger of the Demons had just arrived last night, but was killed by him without saying anything. He didn't know how to explain this to Kesenell. He hoped that Kesenell could consider the overall situation and not turn hostile to him immediately...
Soon, a group of shadows appeared on the horizon. Haken looked up and found that it was indeed an army. With the light of the morning sun, Haken immediately confirmed their identities from the flags and equipment of the soldiers. They were indeed from the 2nd Legion of the Demons.
"They're here." Yong Ge, the deputy marshal, said, "I wonder how Marshal Kesenell will react when he hears that you killed the officer of the Demon General with alcohol. He must be very angry."
"Of course!" Haken said. Of course, he was angry. If he was mad, he would also be mad. That was why he led all the sergeants to wait for them at the entrance of the barracks. He wanted to keep a low profile so that Kaicner wouldn't lose his temper. Normally, Haken would definitely wait for Kaicner in the barracks.
"I hope it won't affect the relationship between the two armies..." Yong Ge sighed.
"Deputy marshal." As they were talking, a soldier suddenly walked up to Yong Ge and whispered a few words to her. However, Yong Ge's brows furrowed after hearing those two words.
"What's wrong?" Haken noticed this and asked curiously.
"We lost contact with the reconnaissance team over there..." Yong Ge said, "They were supposed to come back half an hour ago, but they didn't come back."
"How many?" Haken asked.
"Almost all..." Yong Ge replied.
"Almost all?!" Haken was surprised.
"Except for the scout who just came back to report the movement of the 2nd Demons, all the other scouts didn't come back," Yong Ge said with a frown.
"Only one came back?" Haken suddenly had a bad feeling. His intuition had always been very sharp. Every time he had this feeling, his army would be in danger. This time, the feeling was very strong.
"Yeah, I don't know what's going on. Could it be that the war hasn't officially started yet? Don't these guys care about military discipline? They said that no one will report back at the appointed time. Don't they know that the war will start the moment they leave the camp? Really, it's all because of you, Marshal. You took the lead in violating military discipline, causing these guys to not take military discipline seriously anymore. "Yong Ge said very unhappily.
"The war started as soon as we left the camp..." Haken suddenly perked up when he heard this. "No... something's not right..."
"Ah? What's going on? "Yong Ge asked curiously.
"I don't know. Hurry up and think … Hurry up and think …" Haken was only half sober. His head was still hurting. He hit himself on the head as he tried to think.
"Marshal, what are you thinking about? You'd better think about how to explain to Kaichenel," Yong Ge said, "After all, a steward of Kaichenel died."
"By the way, why only one?" Hagrid suddenly asked. "Why only one? Why is there only one envoy, and a civil official at that? Aren't they afraid of being robbed on the way? This is the border, and there are many bandits here. Why didn't they send some guards? "
"Huh?" Yong Ge was also stunned. "Erm... I'm not sure. I don't know what Kaichenel is thinking. Is there a problem?"
"Damn it, he asked me to drink with him yesterday. I didn't even notice this problem!" Haken said as he slapped his own face hard.
"Oh, they seem to have seen us too. They're speeding up." Yong Ge looked at the troop of Demons opposite them. The troop in front of them had obviously sped up and were rushing towards them.
"Hurry up! Get on the horses! Everyone, get on the horses! "Haken shouted hurriedly.
"What's wrong, Marshal?" Yong Ge asked curiously. The people beside her also looked at Marshal Haken with a strange look.
"I don't think they're the Demons!" Haken shouted immediately.
"Huh? Not the troops of the Devil Race? Marshal, you must be drunk. If they're not the Demons, what else can they be? Could it be a human army? "Yong Ge said.
"I think so!" Haken said immediately.
"How is that possible? How could the humans appear here? Marshal, look, they're obviously the 2nd Legion of Demons." Yong Ge pointed at the troop opposite them. The armor and flag of the enemy belonged to the 2nd Legion of Demons. It was obvious. The surrounding officers nodded in agreement with Yong Ge's opinion.
"I suspect that the 2nd Legion of Demons has been defeated by the humans. The troop opposite us is a human troop disguised as the Demons! Everyone, get on the horses and retreat to the camp! "Haken ordered immediately.
"Huh? The Demons have been defeated? That's... impossible. " Everyone was in disbelief. The Demons had just set off yesterday. How could they be defeated? How could a troop of 90,000 be defeated so easily?
"Everyone, get on the horses!" Haken ordered again.
"Alright... hey, they're speeding up." At this time, Yong Ge saw the front row of the opposite troop suddenly speed up. The cavalry in front was obviously charging forward.
"Retreat! Retreat now!" Haken's expression changed drastically. He immediately yelled, but it was a little too late. The troops on this side were already very close. They only needed to accelerate to cover this distance.
At this time, the Orc officers who were observing from a close distance finally saw the true appearance of the enemy troop. Although the enemy was wearing armor and waving the flag of the Demons, they could tell with a glance that they were not Demons. The eyes of the Demons were red, but the eyes of the Demons were blue, green, and black. No matter how you looked at them, they were human soldiers.
"Not good!" Yong Ge finally reacted. Although he didn't believe it, he didn't know what was going on. He didn't even know what kind of troop the enemy was. However, he didn't have time to think about it now. All the Orc officers were standing at the gate. If the enemy attacked like this, a lot of them would die.
"Marshal, go back to the camp. I'll stop them!" Yong Ge made a prompt decision and immediately shouted to Haken. He was quite confident in his own strength and knew that it wouldn't be a problem to hold them off for a while. As long as Marshal Haken could return, he would be able to organize reinforcements and hold them off.
"Be careful!" Haken turned around and was about to answer when he saw a human general swinging a sledgehammer at Yong Ge from behind.
"Damn it!" Yong Ge also felt the wind pressure behind him. His body reacted automatically. He raised his sword (because he was here to welcome the enemy, he didn't bring a long weapon, only a sword) and blocked the attack.
"Clang!" The sword in Yong Ge's hand was directly smashed into pieces. The sledgehammer didn't slow down at all. It directly hit the left side of Yong Ge's body. Crack! Yong Ge's left hand was smashed into a bloody mess. The bones inside were all crushed. At the same time, the huge impact sent him flying. He spat out blood and flew to the right, falling to the ground more than ten meters away.
"Second Legion, Second Cavalry Captain Bruno. (Li Huailin's private army is temporarily incorporated into the Second Legion. Captain Bruno is Bruno)! Which one is Haken? Our Marshal wants your head! " Bruno raised his bleeding cudgel and stood alone among the orc officers. He didn't seem to be worried about his situation at all. He was even looking around for someone who looked like the enemy's marshal.
"Second Legion, the legion of the God of War …" Haken's vision darkened. Seeing the enemy's cavalry rushing towards him, he immediately shouted to the people behind him, "Everyone, go in and sound the drums! Enemy attack! "
"Enemy attack!" "Enemy attack!" The people around him immediately shouted together.
"Haha, I found you. It's you, the enemy's marshal! I'll be the first one! " Bruno saw Haken giving orders. Judging from his attire, he looked like a super high-ranking official. (Haken was dressed very formally because he was going to welcome Kesner.) Bruno aimed at Haken and immediately swung his cudgel.
"Protect the Marshal! Protect the Marshal!" The people around him immediately shouted. Now, Bruno was sure that this lion head was the boss of the orcs. He had to be captured by the Marshal.
In the midst of the chaos, the cavalry behind them had also arrived. The leader was naturally the cavalry general of the 2nd Legion, Samos. "Boys! It's time to collect heads. These are all enemy officers. Killing one is a great merit. Kill them all! "
"Kill!" The cavalry was overjoyed. The enemy was full of enemy generals. This was simply too satisfying. They were simply farming military merits. Hurry up and collect heads. If they didn't, there would be no more.
The human army directly rushed in from the front. The orcs were immediately in chaos. No one was prepared. They were originally here to welcome the Demons. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen? Especially a few civil officers. When they saw the human cavalry rushing in front of them, they were so scared that their legs turned to jelly.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!" Haken was really anxious. The scene was too chaotic. He couldn't command everyone. Seeing the human army rushing towards him while collecting heads, he was very anxious. However, he didn't know what to do.
"Haken! I'm coming! " While he was panicking, Bruno sent an orc general flying with his cudgel. He rushed straight towards Haken. No one could stop him.
"Quick … stop him!" Haken's personal guards were also anxious. This time, they didn't bring any weapons like bows or crossbows. Every one of them was armed with a sword. This family's martial arts were so strong that they almost wanted to kill them. However, there was no other way. The personal guards didn't think too much about it and directly blocked the attack with their bodies.
"Get out of the way!" Bruno sent five guards in front of him flying with his cudgel. He forcefully opened a path and smashed towards Haken.
