The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.
Chapter 623: Punishing the Traitor
"Quick, give orders to Commander Kenlo Hag immediately.
Tell him that his mission has been completed, and ask him to lead the wolf cavalry troops to reunite as soon as possible."
While still retreating, Sachs immediately ordered to notify Kenlo Hag.
In today's siege, not only did the morale drop too much, but the losses were also unexpectedly large.
While retreating, Sachs was constantly reviewing the situation.
The reason for the huge losses was the magic spells cast by humans, which were too powerful and had a terrifying range.
It was also his own fault. He was too eager for quick success. Even though he knew that humans had the killer move Doomsday Judgment, he still used the opportunity to cast the spell regardless.
Now it seems that the other party did not directly use the double doomsday judgment at the beginning, probably in order to lure him deeper.
Otherwise, he would not have released only the Shield of Hercules after he had released the Earth-Shaking Power for the first time.
The Hercules Shield cannot be repaired by peasants, and its overall durability and defense are not as good as reinforced castle-level walls.
Releasing a Hercules shield at this time is obviously to give him hope.
He couldn't help but send all the Behemoths and the ogre warriors into the moat to die.
However, it is impossible to break through Reina's defense, who is good at defensive techniques, with just a section of collapsed wall.
If they retreated at that time, the troops that had been deployed previously would be lost in vain, especially the ogres and behemoths that were poisoned to death in the moat.
Moreover, the other troops responsible for the feint attack had to climb up the city wall with wooden ladders with great difficulty, braving the hail of arrows from humans and elves.
It is easy to climb up the city wall, but it is not easy to come down from it.
If he had ordered a retreat at that time, even if he was willing, the tribal chiefs would probably not agree, and that would be tantamount to abandoning their own people on the city wall.
But what if I don't retreat and still keep my chance to cast spells, or simply cast fire-bearing magic on the orcs first?
After some analysis, Sachs concluded that the ending might not be that good.
Since he had activated the magic of fire control, he couldn't use the earth-shaking skill. If he wanted to destroy other city walls, he would have to wait at least another hour.
During this period, humans took advantage of the gap and used the moat to kill countless orcs.
Furthermore, if your side uses the magic of controlling fire, the opponent can also use the magic of dispersing fire.
He had already torn up the scroll of the level 3 ultimate spell, so he wouldn't feel bad about using a level 1 spell like Dispel.
When the time comes, two Doomsday Judgments will be launched, with the same outcome, and there will be two more intact sections of the city wall.
Afterwards, no matter how Sachs reasoned, he felt that there was no better way at the time.
Unless your own flying troops can gain the advantage, cross the enemy's city wall, fly directly into the city, and cause damage to the enemy from behind.
In this way, with the cooperation between inside and outside, perhaps our troops could rush into the city through the gap in the city wall.
However, their own flying corps suffered heavy losses as soon as it appeared, and they also suffered a lot of losses when their camp was attacked some time ago.
Although some reinforcements were received from the wilderness, they still did not have an overwhelming advantage over human flying forces.
Not only did they have no advantage, but in a situation where they were outnumbered, they once again lost nearly 10,000 flying troops before they were able to destroy a few hundred of the enemy's griffins.
Of course, the Royal Griffin has the characteristics of unlimited counterattacks and special defense, which makes it particularly suitable for group attacks.
But even if they managed to get rid of the opponent's griffins, they had no way to deal with the angel army.
Just now he wanted Ruda to trick these angels here and then get rid of them at all costs.
However, the angel leader on the opposite side was not a fool and did not fall into the trap at all.
Now, after the heavy loss of golden eagles, it is a luxury for our air force to maintain air superiority, let alone cooperate with ground forces to launch an offensive.
The spells didn't work, the air force didn't work, and the catapults and crossbows used for siege were all destroyed.
The only Cyclops left were those hastily transferred here, and more than half of them had been lost, making it even more difficult to mobilize them in the future.
The more he took stock, the more frightened Sachs became.
He hadn't even considered the biggest problem the stronghold was facing right now; the shortage of food was the root cause that forced him to advance recklessly.
Now that he has withdrawn the wolf riders, this means that they can no longer harass human logistics.
If any crisis occurs in Stone City, humans can mobilize troops to assist in the defense at any time.
As for our side, we are basically in a state where there is no reinforcement available.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Beast King Sachs was still thinking and taking inventory, but was suddenly interrupted. He couldn't help but glared at the other party and said:
"what's up?"
The messenger's heart trembled. He knew very well how much anger Sachs was holding in his heart at that moment.
In this siege, the stronghold suffered heavy losses again. It can be said that one wrong step led to another.
The chiefs have already found places to hold meetings on their own, and they seem to be planning to leave Sachs behind.
Now I have to report other even worse news, and I don’t know whether my life can be saved after the news gets out.
Seeing the messenger trembling with fear, Sachs frowned. As the Beast King, he was too disdainful to vent his anger on such a small soldier.
"Tell me, where did the bad news come from again?"
The other party's expression clearly showed that he was not only afraid of disturbing himself, but also afraid of the message he wanted to convey to him.
Even though Sachs had prepared himself mentally in advance, he still felt like the sky was falling after receiving the news.
"Your Majesty, the military order sent to Commander Kenlo Hag has not been received yet.
And the latest news came from Commander Kenlo Hag's deputy general, saying that Commander Kenlo Hag had been defeated by the human army in order to cover their evacuation.
The human side not only dispatched the knight corps on the front line, but also the knights in the rear, as well as the Knights Temple and other three knight corps to hunt down and intercept them.
When they evacuated, the battlefield had been completely closed, and the flag of Commander Kenlo Hag was gone. "
The battlefield was completely closed and surrounded by three knightly orders. Even the commander's flag had fallen. The commander's fate could be imagined.
Upon hearing the news, Sachs was so angry that he wanted to chop the messenger in half on the spot.
"The Knights Temple? Where did they come from? Didn't they say that the Temple is no longer able to support other battlefields?
Where's that human wizard? Go find him out, I'm going to skin him myself!"
To Eni's surprise, Sachs had not yet executed Parame.
One reason was that he felt that Aini and Xu Lai were sworn enemies, so there was no need for him to sell out himself.
Secondly, Parame still provided him with a lot of useful information. Even if they were really traitors, they were in his hands anyway and could not escape. In this case, there was no need to rush to deal with them. Maybe they would be useful someday.
However, at this moment, Sachs, who had suffered a defeat and received bad news, was extremely angry.
He now urgently needs someone to vent his anger on and to shift the blame to.
There is no doubt that Count Aini and his representatives, who had persuaded him to conquer the grassland and provided him with poisonous food and false information, would be the most appropriate people at this time.
Parame was imprisoned and completely cut off from all sources of intelligence. Her equipment and even her underwear were stripped off.
But even so, in order to prevent Parame from casting a spell and escaping, Sachs still asked Shaman Mok to cast a special restraint on Parame.
The imprisoned Parame could not speak, move, or even move his eyeballs, making him no different from a living dead.
Therefore, as soon as he was taken out of prison by the orcs, this guy fell to his knees in front of Sachs and the orc chiefs.
“Your Majesty the Beast King, I am truly wronged.
Think about it, for the past six months, I have been staying in the base and have never returned to the grassland.
Those cattle and sheep have nothing to do with me."
Before bringing Parame here, Sachs had already informed the chiefs of the intelligence and also received the battle report after the battle.
As expected, it was another tragic defeat, with the casualty ratio on both sides as high as 100 to 1.
Moreover, on Xu Lai's side, the most killed were civilians who were repairing the city walls, and the logistics soldiers who were operating the catapults and were smashed to death by the one-eyed men.
Apart from these low-level or even non-level people, the most casualties were the less than 500 griffins.
The total death toll of the remaining heavy shield infantry, crossbowmen, and knights' followers was less than 500.
The number of our high-level Cyclops, Behemoths, Thunderbirds, etc. alone exceeds 5000.
In addition, there were the orcs burned to death by spells, the charging ogres, the other skirmishers who made feint attacks, the large number of golden eagles, and the orc warriors who were shot to death.
The number of orcs killed in the battle alone was close to 10, and the number injured was countless, with thousands of them being so seriously injured that they could no longer fight.
Orc priests are not professional doctors. They can't even compare with ordinary doctors in terms of healing, let alone comparing with priests.
If a normal person seeks treatment from them, they might even cut off one of your arms.
If you are seriously injured and seek treatment from them, the most they can do is use spells or items such as healing guards to restore your health.
Such battle reports made all the orc chiefs realize that it would be impossible for them to organize another offensive like today in the short term.
The most crucial thing is that even if they risked their hometown and gathered all their forces, they might not be able to break through the Stone City, just like today.
Compared with other cities in the empire, the defense of Stone City is really not that strong.
After all, the time was too short, and only this side of the city wall was reinforced. On the several thousand meter long city wall, there were only a few catapults and a dozen arrow towers.
If the orcs gave Stone City a little more time, the moat could be dug deeper and wider.
The city walls can be further reinforced and raised, more arrow towers can be built, and more catapult positions can be built on the city walls.
Thinking of this, the orc chieftains had already backed down in their hearts.
Just now, Sachs reported the bad news about the Wolf Rider Commander Kenlo Hag. Everyone had reasons and excuses and expressed their desire to retreat.
Of course Sachs was unwilling to accept this, especially after sacrificing countless orc warriors and high-level heroes without any decent results.
Leaving in such a disgraceful manner will have a huge impact on his rule.
In order to conquer the grassland, he promised a large piece of land to the animal trainers in the swamp for free.
But if he didn't leave, he didn't know what reason he could find to convince these chiefs.
Most importantly, even if he could convince these chiefs, he would not find a way to win.
After thinking for a while, Sachs ignored Parame who was crying below and said in a deep voice:
“Even if we want to retreat, those damn humans won’t let us go.
The Pingfeng Mountains are difficult to cross. If everyone wants to get through safely, they need to arrange the evacuation of various units reasonably.
Moreover, during the evacuation process, soldiers from all units must strengthen training and restore morale as quickly as possible.
Once those humans discover that we are retreating, they will definitely take the initiative to attack.
By then, if the morale of each unit remains so low, we will collapse first without anyone else coming to fight.
I think you all know where Pingfeng Mountains are.
When our ancestors were driven to the wilderness by humans, they were slaughtered by millions at the foot of the Pingfeng Mountains. "
After hearing what Sachs said, no one dared to ignore it.
After all, what Sachs said was right. Once the enemy caught up with them and they couldn't defeat them, they would only be slaughtered at the foot of Pingfeng Mountains.
The few gaps in the Pingfeng Mountains are extremely narrow, and there are only a few narrow paths to climb on this mountain.
As long as the human army forces the orcs up the mountain, they don't need to chase them. This mountain alone can kill half of the orcs by falling.
As for fighting against humans, with the current morale of the army, there is no chance of winning unless the number is increased tenfold.
Just when everyone wanted to get up and leave, Sachs stopped them and said:
"Now that things have come to this, there is no need to rush. Let's deal with this spy first, and then hang his head in each camp. Perhaps it will help restore morale."
Regardless of whether it is helpful or not, these chiefs have all suffered heavy losses and are already filled with anger.
They didn't dare to vent their anger on the Beast King Sachs, but when facing a human being, they had nothing to worry about.
In the end, Sachs did not get the chance to do it himself. All the leaders who were beaten and fled by the human army wanted to do it themselves.
But what Sachs said before did come true.
Parame, the human traitor, had his skin peeled off while he was still alive by the experienced ogre chief.
In another world, even mages have stronger physiques and lives.
It was impossible for an ordinary person to endure such punishment alive, but Parame managed to endure it even until the skin on his head was pulled out.
The orcs were skinning the humans in the middle of the night, while on the human side, Reina was organizing the second resurrection ceremony in the middle of the night.
Xu Lai, who was far away near the city of Conaston, had no time to reminisce with Lina.
After giving her the task of chasing the 3000 wolf knights who had escaped, he led Tahan and the others to Qingfeng City overnight. (End of this chapter)
