The strike that defeated Golem could almost be regarded as a strike that Grolin exerted at the cost of his life. However, Golem had indeed fallen. Behind him were more than 4,000 heavy cavalrymen of the Blazing Sun Valiant Cavalry. Although their captain had fallen, none of the cavalrymen hesitated because they would never stop unless they received the order from the head of the legion. Even if all of their comrades had fallen, they would still rush forward alone. Therefore, even though their captain had fallen in front of them, none of the cavalrymen would stop. They directly ran over Grolin, who was raising his spear to declare victory.
Groen's victory made all the Orc soldiers excited for a second. However, it was only for a second. In the next second, Groen had already disappeared among the iron hooves of the cavalrymen. No one doubted whether Groen was dead or alive. If he was still alive, then he must have been possessed by God.
To the Orc soldiers, Groen was their only spiritual pillar. They had clearly left the troops to die. No one would not be afraid of death in the face of death. However, with Groen's leadership and encouragement, all the soldiers could temporarily forget about the fear of death. However, now that Groen was also dead, such a great Orc warrior had died under the hands of the Humans, the remaining Orc infantrymen immediately felt a sense of fear.
The situation of the battle took a turn for the worse. The Orc infantrymen who initially seemed to have some fighting spirit began to retreat. At this moment, it was time for the brave to win. Whoever retreated would die faster. Soon, the Orc infantrymen were cut into pieces and harvested. The battle was coming to an end.
"Sir Huailin!" At this time, Li Huailin, who was watching the battle from the back, suddenly heard someone calling him. He turned his head and saw that it was Selina, the leader of the Elves. Behind her were Kerry and Miley. They were probably the other Elven generals.
"What's the matter?" Li Huailin turned his head and asked.
"The battle is coming to an end. Please leave it to us. Sir, please lead the cavalry to pursue the remaining Orc troops," said Selina.
"Oh?" Li Huailin smiled. There was no problem in letting the Elves deal with this situation. Going after the rest of the army was also a very reasonable idea. However, he didn't want to completely wipe out the Beastmen army. The Beastmen only had a small number of soldiers left. If they continued to fight, they would really run out of soldiers. On the other hand, the Elves were unstoppable in the north. This wasn't a good situation.
"It's useless for us to chase after them," Li Huailin said after some thought.
"Hmm? Why? "Selena asked curiously.
"They obviously know that we have a large number of Cavalrymen. If they run away normally, we will definitely catch up to them. Do you think their commander is that stupid?" Li Huailin asked.
"Then … what will happen?" Selena asked after thinking about it.
"They will definitely choose the mountains and forests that are more difficult to traverse. Even though it will be difficult for them, it will be even more difficult for our cavalry. Our chances of escaping will be much higher," Li Huailin said.
"I see." The three elves nodded at the same time. They were very convinced by Li Huailin's explanation.
"If I remember correctly, the Elves are faster in the mountains and forests. So, I'll leave the task of chasing after them to you," Li Huailin said.
"Yes, we will definitely be able to catch up to them." Selena nodded. The Elves' movement speed in the mountains and forests was very fast. Of course, she was confident about this.
"Then go," Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
"Yes, Lord Huailin," Selena said with a lowered head.
"You're so much cuter when you're obedient." Li Huailin suddenly stretched out his hand and touched Selena's chin. As it happened so suddenly, Selena was taken aback at first, and then her face instantly turned bright red, up to the tips of her ears.
"My Lord … My Lord … I can't do it now …" Selena immediately said. Although she said that she couldn't do it, she didn't make any movement to stop him. Her expression didn't show any signs of rejection either.
"As expected, there aren't any Favorability notifications. Seems like there won't be any problems doing anything now." Li Huailin retracted his hand and muttered to himself. "This is urgent. There's no time now. You should hurry up and chase after them."
"Oh, yes, my Lord." Selena nodded reluctantly. Then, she took a deep breath and regained her composure. "Let's go."
"I want to be teased by the Grand Duke of Aquitaine too! Bastard! "Miley couldn't help but say from behind.
"Now isn't the time to talk about this. Hurry up and get ready to chase after them," Selena said immediately.
"You're obviously very happy. The Grand Duke of Aquitaine hasn't even spoken to me. He didn't even notice me. Ahhhh, this is so unfair. I want to be a commander too!" Miley said.
"Stop it! Hurry up and attack, or else we won't be able to catch up. If we can't catch up to the Orc troops, I'll settle the score with you, "Selena said with a victorious tone.
"Damn it! Chase after them! "
The Elven troops stopped shooting, circled around the two troops that were fighting, and chased after the Orc troops towards the east. Many of the Orc troops saw the situation, but now that they were about to be annihilated, there was really nothing they could do to stop it. Fortunately, the First Orc Legion had escaped for a long time. Now, even if the Elven troops chased after them with all their might, they might not be able to catch up.
"Aren't we going to chase after them?" Seeing that the Elven troops had set off, Wilham walked over and asked Li Huailin.
"There's no need. We can't catch up anyway. Based on the Orc's commanding ability, the route he chose must be very difficult for us to guess, so I can't be bothered to guess, "Li Huailin said.
"What about the Elves?" Wilham asked.
"I hope they don't catch up." Li Huailin said. "Actually, the possibility of them catching up to them isn't high. After being ambushed, Selena's suspicion will be extremely high. If the Orc's commanding is a little better, I think we can easily delay the Elves' pursuit."
"What if the Elves are ambushed again?" Wilham asked.
"The Orcs won't ambush them this time. They don't know that we won't chase after them, so they must be running for their lives. Besides, it won't be that easy to trick Selena this time," Li Huailin said.
"What do we do now?" Wilham asked.
"What else do you want?" Li Huailin smiled. "Are we going to turn around and attack the Elves' capital?"
Wilham was shocked, but he realized that it was possible. The Elves' troops were all stationed outside, and there weren't many troops in the city. Moreover, the humans and the Elves were allies, so it should be easy to find a reason to enter the city. Once they entered the city, the Elves' capital would be instantly destroyed. This … this plan really worked.
Although Wilham was surprised for a moment, he immediately came to his senses. Attacking the alliance now was not a good thing even if they wiped out the Elves. Therefore, he immediately said, "This … This isn't a good idea. We're still allies with the Elves. We …"
"Damn, you really believed me? I was just spouting nonsense," Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Nonsense?" Wilham was a little scared. This guy could come up with such a terrifying plan just by spouting nonsense. He was indeed a God of War.
"This battle is over," Li Huailin continued. "We can retreat now."
"Now?" Wilham asked immediately. "Your second army is still massacring the Orcs' territory."
"If we continue fighting, the Orcs will soon surrender," Li Huailin said.
"They're going to surrender?" Wilham said in surprise. Ever since the founding of the human race, there had been frequent battles between humans and the orcs, but until now, the orcs had never truly surrendered.
"But we won't accept a surrender," Li Huailin said.
"Are we going to wipe out the Orcs?" Wilham asked.
"No, no, no. How is that possible? Where's your brain?" Li Huailin said. "Surrendering is too bad. I think a truce or something like that is enough."
"Huh?" Wilham was stunned. A truce? Wouldn't that make things easier for them?
"We're just reinforcements. The Elves are asking for our help because they can't defeat the Orcs. Now, the Elves' troops and the Orcs' troops are almost the same. Neither side can defeat the other. Isn't that great? So why are we still fighting? Let's stop the war with the Orcs and focus on our own development. " Li Huailin spread his hands and said, "As for the Elves, let them fight the Orcs if they want to. Both countries are now in ruins, so we don't have to worry at all. We just need to watch the Demons. If the Demons help the Orcs, we'll help the Elves. We won't care about anything else."
"I see." Wilham immediately understood what Li Huailin meant. The Orcs were so barren that there was no point in conquering them. Instead, it might benefit the Elves. It was better to let the Elves and the Orcs fight to their hearts' content. As long as the empire's borders were stable, it would definitely develop faster than the Elves and the Orcs. They could accumulate their strength silently and take over the world when the time came.
"Impressive …" Wilham nodded and praised. "I feel much more at ease with you by Anthony's side."
"Understood. So let's retreat. I believe the Orcs will send someone to negotiate as soon as they receive the news. We can return to the main city and wait," Li Huailin said.
"Mmm." Wilham was in a good mood.
