Chapter 249 Attack
Almost at the same time, Oran launched a unified attack in multiple areas bordering the orcs, which at first glance seemed to be a massive attack.

In fact, Tang Zhao does not approve of this kind of offensive plan. He prefers to concentrate superior forces in some areas and advance steadily. On the premise that the opponent is prepared, it is easy to be defeated one by one in this way. Such examples in history There are too many.

Those classic battles in which fewer people win more are in essence concentrated superior forces in local areas to fight, and then defeat the opponent. If Oran is so big, there will be a lot of casualties if it is not careful. Fortunately, similar things did not happen.

Tang Zhao silently sorted out supplies and troops, waiting for a deeper change in the situation.

According to the optimistic estimate of a small number of military officers, this will be a local war of low intensity. Well-equipped and well-trained human troops will easily win the war against the orcs, and then the orcs will give in, and the war will end immediately.

But in reality, as the Orans prepared for war, the war soon turned into a general war with a wide range.

The orcs used some means to get in touch with the sahuagin in the sea. From the beginning of the war, on the second day of the transport ship operation, they encountered threats from below the sea level, despite the help of the initially completed navy and merfolk. , but transportation is still greatly affected.

Although the momentum of the advance is good, they did not encounter any large-scale resistance. This is not because the strength of the orcs is like this, but because the opponent's large army has not yet appeared, and the news is spreading in the wasteland. There will be a large number of orcs gathered on the border.

Before that, Oran's generals decided to take the first step to take down a stable bridgehead, so several legions stationed in Lufford started a new round of operations, and the large-scale team began to march towards the swamp.

At the same time, Tina also started her own actions. Tang Zhao could play a role in the battle, so she was also pulled over together.

After the body became smaller, it hung on the back of Tina's main body, and the two quickly flew towards the swamp.
-
The water vapor from the sea blows towards the Everlook Mountains, forming a series of swamp lakes at the foot of the mountains. The Kubango Swamp is not small in size and has a complex environment. It is undoubtedly good for black dragons who like to live in swamps. place.

In fact, Silver Dragon is not a giant dragon with particularly strong fighting power, especially not good at melee combat, so Tina didn't go down to enter the opponent's home field, but hovered in the sky, taking no action for a long time.

[How much did you know about this place before this? 】

Tina replied: "No more, no less. Darlan and I have been neighbors for many years, and we still have a basic understanding. The lake below is where the entrance to his lair is, but we'd better not go straight in, it would be very difficult." awful."

[Is it possible to solve the problem with money?Neither dwarves nor humans are short of money. 】

"The relationship between him and the hobgoblin is closer than you can imagine. He has appeared on the hobgoblin battlefield several times before, and he can buy the dragon with money, but I can't guarantee you whether he will turn back."

[It is not a long-term solution to be on guard against the opponent all the time. Sooner or later, there will be time to relax. Ordinary human soldiers are not capable of resisting adult dragons. 】

"I know it very well, but there is no good way to solve it. I can only come here to warn and wait and see what happens next." Tina was also very helpless.

The giant dragon will arrange perfect defense measures near the lair. It is not good to force it, and it is difficult to drag it all the time.Tina came here this time just to show her existence and let the other party play a trick. As for whether it will work or not, it depends on the follow-up.

The lizardmen had made a certain number of rafts ahead of time, and when the human army arrived, these rafts would be pulled by livestock or lizardmen.

Their familiarity with this swamp played a role, and the army marched unimpeded between the swamps. After a few hours, they arrived at a high ground in the swamp, where they would stop and refresh.

Coincidentally, the previous hobgoblin camp was also set up near here. After all, there are only a few highlands in the swamp, so there are not many options. The effort of construction can be used after changing.
-
At night, the swamp was plunged into darkness, only the chirping of mosquitoes, birds and animals could be heard, and the moonlight and the faint light of the torches in the camp could be seen.

Everyone in the camp inevitably relaxed their vigilance. After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, they are in a swamp, and the possibility of being killed by mosquitoes and malaria is much greater than that of hot and cold weapons.

The former is exorcised by the magician's magic and the elf's potion, the latter seems to be far away, and in fact it is, but there are other dangers lurking in the swamp.

The sound of water slapping sounded, and a huge beast whose appearance couldn't be seen broke through the simple gate of the camp, and crashed into the tent, followed by the screams and crashes of wounded soldiers.

Tang Zhao, who had been crouching on a high place to observe the situation, immediately jumped down, increased in size and then rushed into the tent.

With a dull sound of physical impact and thunder, the scene fell silent. After dozens of seconds, Tang Zhao came to the square biting the corpse of a huge monster and began to observe it in detail.

It was a buffalo-like creature with two long horns. Tang Zhao knew that it was driven here to test it just by observing it a little.

This kind of animal will not go crazy for no reason, nor will it have a bloodthirsty desire beyond human understanding, but if it is threatened by something, it may still take the initiative to attack a large group of people if it panics.

When Tang Zhao was thinking about the relationship, he suddenly felt a sharp pain from behind. Looking back, he saw that a long spear had pierced through his scales and embedded in his flesh.

He turned his head and bit the handle of the spear, and took it out with a little force. Then he looked nervously at the endless swamp, wary of possible enemies.

In the end, the black dragon named Darlan didn't appear, and the spear that hurt Tang Zhao slowly melted like ice, turning into a puddle of unknown black liquid. Today's attack seemed to be just a warning to them.

Now, there are two paths before them—the first is to prioritize the elimination of potential enemies in the swamp to ensure a safe retreat route and supply route, and the second is to ignore the opponent and go directly to the orc settlement. While occupying a stable stronghold that can be defended, slowly deal with the enemy.

The former consumes precious time, while the latter has the risk of being cut off. After weighing it, the human commander made a bold decision—ignoring the black dragon, and going directly to the orc settlement to respond to the frontal Oran army.
