Heroes of the Invincible Knight Chapter 525

(Wait, it's a bit repetitive, I'll change it after writing)

What Ross said was a reality. After the death of Thor, there were not many generals in the entire kingdom who were qualified and capable of commanding the millions of people in the Dragon Breath Pass. Ross was one of them, and Richard also relied on his recent military exploits and achievements. Super strength has this qualification.

Although it is foreseeable that the orcs will finally break the dragon's breath pass, the battle will never end when the orcs break the pass. The dragon's breath pass is not only a dragon's breath pass, but a whole defensive circle that supports the dragon's breath pass. There are also eighteen large military cities and dozens of small satellite cities, as well as more fortresses on the road of the orcs. Another million troops are stationed in it.

After the orcs broke the Dragon's Breath, they had to compete with the human beings from city to city. At least the orcs had to take down several key cities in the middle. If the human beings stationed stubbornly resisted, the orcs would definitely have to work hard to take these cities.

Although after the Dragon's Breath Pass was broken through, the final result of these cities must be the fall under the siege of the orcs, but the fall within a few days, or the fall of the orcs after a month or two, is still qualitatively different.

After realizing that the Dragon's Breath pass was difficult to defend, Ross and others had actually changed the combat goal from sticking to the Dragon's Breath pass to trying to gain time so that the kingdom could make more preparations. So, in the end, a plan to mobilize resistance from city to city was formulated.

But the question is, how can the defenders continue to hold on when they know they will lose? In addition to mobilizing with righteousness, Ross and Richard must have at least one person in charge, right? It's impossible for Ross to mobilize the officers stationed in various cities here today to keep them fighting, and then run away the next day. No commander-in-chief who is determined to persevere can do this kind of **** behavior.

Ross and Richard, someone has to stay. Of course, it is possible to ask Richard to contribute, but it is impossible for Richard to stay and live and die together. After all, the time is on Richard's side, as long as the time is delayed long enough , Li Cha will become stronger and stronger. When Li Cha spends a few years in the Northland, without the power of the kingdom, he will be able to send troops to push the orcs flat, why should he die here.

Ross is a warrior, but his mind is not rough. He has already noticed Li Cha's mentality. In his eyes, he also feels that it is more valuable for Li Cha to leave alive, but the emotional intelligence of this speech is low. A little embarrassing.

This matter, no matter how you say it, there is a sense of escaping. Li Cha didn't know how to pick up Ross's words for a while.

"After the orcs are cleared, I will give an order to Lord Richard in the name of the commander of Longxiguan, and let you lead the army to the Central Plains to organize a second line of defense as a barrier for the capital. When the war is unfavorable, Lord Richard , you can leave first with your subordinates."

Ross's words were unpleasant, but he did things quite beautifully. At least he found a plausible reason for Li Cha to let him evacuate, so that it would not be too ugly for Li Cha to evacuate.

"Um"

Ross's words have already come to this point, no matter how embarrassing he was before, Li Cha nodded in response, turned around and left like the other generals, and started the final preparations.

The streets are in a hurry. The soldiers have started martial law, but the gate has not been closed yet. There are still some women and children in the city who can't help in the battle. They need to be transferred out at this time. In addition, there are still some people who should not leave crowded in front of the gate.

"Get out of the way, I'm the second son of the Hay family, the nephew of Marquis Kinberg, and now I'm leaving here! You have no right to stop me!"

At the city gate, in addition to some old and weak people who were allowed to leave, there was also a carriage, dozens of heavily armed soldiers, surrounded by a young man in gorgeous armor, who was confronting the soldiers at the gate at this time.

The young man obviously came from an aristocratic family on the Great Plains. Although he was not the eldest son, he was also a direct descendant. In the Golden Dragon Kingdom, there were no clear rules for succession, so theoretically, he had a certain possibility of inheriting the family title. Coming to the Dragon's Breath Pass to participate in the war, like most nobles, is to gild a piece of gold and fight for a little bit of qualifications, it is best to get some military exploits.

Although it is dangerous to go to the Dragon's Breath Pass to join the war, as long as the relationship is established, the risk of being a **** is not very big. After all, he is not one of those landless knights who fight for their lives alone. .

But the current situation is obviously far from the level of risk he initially estimated. The strength of the orcs has been unprecedentedly improved this time, and the battle has become more and more difficult. After the first pass of the Dragon Breath Pass fell a few days ago, he understood. The seriousness of the problem, the danger of this place that has never fallen.

Then he made the decision to leave the main city behind the Dragon's Breath Pass. When the Dragon's Breath Pass was broken, let alone the people he brought, the whole city would not be enough for the Orc army to tangle between their teeth.

Unfortunately, Ross issued a military order before, restricting personnel from leaving the city, and the old and weak, women and children can leave. These nobles and private soldiers armed to the teeth are important forces defending the city, how could they easily let them leave.

"Sorry, please go back immediately. Lord Ross has an order. All men who can take up arms are not allowed to leave the city without his order!"

However, I don't know if it was the officer's polite attitude that fueled the opponent's arrogance, or the nobleman really felt that the name of the Marquis of Kinberg could be used as a source of support.
