GOR Chapter 326 "Northern Chaos" (Part 2)
The table was dripping with water. It seems that this General Andre is not good at drawing. Fortunately, although the drawing was rough, the meaning was still clear.
On the table was a large arc – General Andre pointed at the arc and said: "Please take a look, this is the southern border of Frozen Forest. Speaking of which, although our Tempest Legion has 200,000 soldiers, this damned forest is too big! The southern border was as long as an entire province! Although we have two hundred thousand soldiers, it is still very difficult for us to spread them across such a long line. Thus, for many years, we have adopted a strategy of focusing on the defense and increasing the number of patrols. Only then can we be considered to have completed our mission. "
He casually drew a few small circles under the arc that symbolizes the southern border of Frozen Forest. "Our army is divided into divisions and stationed in several places near the southern border of Frozen Forest. At the same time, we use cavalry squads as a unit. Every day and night, we will patrol back and forth according to the predetermined route. Although the soldiers work hard, fortunately, there has not been any major trouble in these years. Also, unlike other main battle legions, our Tempest Legion does not have a main camp! This is because several divisions have been sent out to station. Otherwise, such a long line would be impossible to see! Even General Rostock's personal guard only had twenty thousand men, and they were stationed in a place slightly to the south. This is not a secret anymore, so there is no harm in telling you all. "
"Six days ago, the earthquake was really frightening. This time, I have asked people along the way and it seems that the situation here is not bad. But in the northern Frozen Forest, it is different! That damned earthquake broke the trees, collapsed the mountains and cracked the roads! The pitiful thing is that our two cavalry battalions were stationed in a valley. When the earthquake happened, the snow mountain collapsed. Out of the thousands of brothers, less than 300 managed to escape. Most of the others were buried alive!! Later, I went to the scene to take a look. That damned earthquake first collapsed the two exits of the valley, making it impossible for people to escape. Then, the mountain collapsed … "
At this point, Andre's eyes reddened, and his voice choked with emotion.
However, he was a soldier after all. He took a deep breath and continued to draw a few arrows pointing south in the arc.
"During the earthquake six days ago, none of the soldiers in the army had experienced such a thing. For a time, everyone was in a state of panic. Although everyone had calmed down a little, they were still uneasy. Sure enough, in the afternoon, the disaster happened!
Looking at it now, we don't know where it started. In short, according to the information we received from the newspaper, it was in these few places … Look, one, two, three, four … six! Almost at the same time, large batches of magical beasts ran out of the frozen forest from six different directions, all the way to the south!
Although I've been in the north for so many years, I've never seen so many magical beasts in my life!
"In the past, although we have encountered some magic beasts running out of the forest, as long as our patrolling cavalrymen surround them, shout a few times, and scare those beasts back. "After all, those that can be in the south are low-level magical beasts. The truly powerful ones live in the depths of the forest and rarely come out.
"These magical beasts mostly have some intelligence. Even if they are low-level magical beasts, if they encounter our patrolling cavalrymen, they will know that they are no match for them and will retreat in the face of difficulties. "Unless we encounter some powerful beasts, our soldiers will not fight.
"But this time, it's different … Large batches of magical beasts are coming out. It's not just one or two, it's not even a hundred, it's thousands!
"At that time, I wasn't in the front, but in the camp of the general in the south. But one of my good brothers, who is a deputy division commander, told me later that his camp was bearing the brunt of the magical beasts. There was a flood of magical beasts, and it just so happened that it hit his camp head-on! "At that time, the soldiers who were standing on the sentry tower were completely stunned. That scene was like a nightmare!
The dense flood of magical beasts rushed out, and the soldiers were stunned for a while before they reacted. But when they resisted, the scene was really too painful!
"Your Excellency Duke, Mr. Rodriguez, there are absolutely no cowards in our Tempest Legion! "But even if we train hard, most of the soldiers are just ordinary people! They don't know magic, they only know how to use swords, bows and arrows, and spears!
"Usually, if we encounter one or two magical beasts, as long as our soldiers are brave, we can barely drive them away. But if we encounter large batches of magical beasts …
There were all kinds of magic beasts. Fortunately, these magic beasts seemed to have been startled by the earthquake and ran out. Our camps were all military fortresses. Later on, we ordered the gates to be closed and used the walls of the fortresses for defense. The soldiers stood on top of the walls, shooting arrows and smashing stones … … "" That's right. That's right.
"But those fellows seemed to have gone crazy. Many of them seemed to have no regard for their lives as they desperately hit the walls!
"The soldiers are already risking their lives! "But there are too many of these things! "Later, there were even some brave brothers who, in the face of death, organized cavalry to charge against those magical beasts. They also set fire along the way in an attempt to scare them away … We have already used this method of setting fire, and it was very effective. "But this time, it didn't work.
"In just one afternoon, we lost tens of thousands of men! "The two camps in the west were broken through, and those magical beasts passed through our defense line and went all the way south!
"After that, General Rostock was furious. He immediately mobilized the cavalry from the rear to chase after them. At the same time, he gave an order to the remaining camps to defend to the death. Unless the last man dies, no one is allowed to retreat!
"Military orders must be obeyed. Now that I think about it, I don't even know how I survived that night! "That night, I accompanied General Rostock in the main camp. But every now and then, there would be a messenger running over to report the situation. He said that this place was broken through, that there were many casualties, that the situation here was dangerous, and that they were requesting for reinforcements, that there were new magical beasts sightings …
"The next morning, even the reserve troops in the main camp were all sent out. I also brought my personal guards and went to the battlefield. "Before I left, General Rostock said to me, 'If you can't do it, then I will!'
"I went to the frontlines, to the camp of my brother's division. That scene, I'm afraid I'll never forget it!
"Almost half of the stronghold walls in front of the camp were broken through, and the remaining half was also in danger. "Later, my brother told me that at night, a few large magical beasts appeared. Those giant bears were very strong, and it was very difficult to kill them with arrows. Those beasts took turns to ram the walls, and they almost broke through them. Later, the division commander gave the order to use men to fill in the gaps at all costs! "I don't know how many brothers used stones and wood to ram the walls. When the walls collapsed a little, we used men to fill in the gaps. That was how we managed to defend the stronghold for the whole night!
"Outside the walls, there were all kinds of corpses everywhere. That division originally had twenty thousand men, but by the afternoon of the second day, there were less than eight thousand men left!!
Regardless of whether it was day or night, the howls of magical beasts could be heard everywhere! Those sounds were so tragic that even now, when people think about it, they can't help but have nightmares!
"But at that time, although we suffered heavy losses, fortunately, the magical beasts that appeared were mostly low-level. Everyone fought with their lives on the line, barely managing to deal with them.
"But on the morning of the third day, the situation was not right!
In the flood of magical beasts outside, a few high level fellows appeared. "I met a Wolf King of Ice Magic Wolves!
"Later, I finally found out that the legends were true! "Those high level magical beasts have intelligence! Moreover, they can really summon those low level magical beasts for them to command!
"With the appearance of the high level magical beasts, those low level fellows that were originally in a mess suddenly became much more cunning. They even learned to take turns to attack our camp!
"In the end, some magical beasts that lived underground began to dig out caves from the ground!
"The third day was the most difficult day. Those magical beasts became even more cunning and smart. They no longer charged head-on against our arrows like before. Instead, they became crafty and knew how to dodge! "And the magical attacks of those magical beasts were even more powerful!
"Our soldiers, in a situation where we lacked magicians, could only use knives and arrows to resist. In the end, less than twenty percent of the division that I was in survived!
"With the appearance of the high level magical beasts, the originally disorderly flood of magical beasts actually turned into a magical beast army!"
At this point, Andrew, the brave general, suddenly laughed bitterly, "Now that I think about it, I was really lucky to be able to survive! "And at that time, there were even many soldiers who couldn't even hold their knives! It wasn't that they weren't brave, but that no one had ever seen such a scene before! "
Du Wei couldn't help but ask, "Then … Now, what about those magical beasts? "Since you were able to retreat, could it be that they have retreated?"
