Chapter 333 The retreating dwarf army

Seeing this, the black-robed skeleton took out thirty-six high-level magic crystals and placed them around the one-time long-distance teleportation array.

After the dark knight and nightmare mount entered the teleportation array, the black-robed skeleton directly started teleportation.

After the light, a skeleton, a mummy and a horse disappeared on the border of Xiqiu Province.

As for the millions of low-level undead and eight soul-conscious low-level undead generals who remained, they were abandoned as abandoned children to cover up their true purpose.

Half a month later, eight dwarf legends arrived in the Xiqiu Province and used violent methods to disperse the gray-black fog in the Xiqiu Province. At the same time, they went to clean up the undead here.

For the Xiqiu Province where there are no living people, the Eight Dwarf Legends did not take it into consideration at all. The most violent method is to use that method to turn the hills into plains, the plains into swamps, and use earth spells to make the whole city sink. Underground, everything is just these eight legends venting their anger.

They discovered that they had been deceived.

There are no legendary undead here, making them feel that they have been deceived.

The mere gray-black mist scared them so much that they dared not move. It was a great shame and humiliation.

No matter whether it is the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom or the Ilia Kingdom, it is unknown why this undead natural disaster occurred suddenly and suddenly destroyed.

……

The 27th Corps, which had been dormant for a month, became active again.

On the southeast bank of the Misty River, in the northwest region of Xigas Province, the 80,000 dwarf army who escaped from Xiqiu Province had survived a life-and-death crisis and was about to face another war.

The Twenty-eighth Corps took the lead in dispatching and blocked the border between Sigas Province and the Dukedom of Hador, cutting off their possibility of retreating to the northeast.

As for the dwarf legend in the sky, apart from the soldiers at the bottom who don't know the truth and are still looking forward to it, the dwarf top brass are already thinking about which direction to retreat.

Human beings have a fully formed army, five legions, and more than 200,000 troops. How can they resist with only 80,000 of them?

"My Lord Governor, I suggest you return to the Xiqiu Province." A young dwarf viscount said something shocking, causing the noisy conference room to become quiet in an instant.

Although Xiqiu Province has been cleaned up by the legends and the undead are almost extinct, the earth is still surrounded by the aura of death. It has not been purified by the priests. This is the paradise of the living. It is better to stick to this place and die in battle.

Dying on the battlefield, they had the opportunity to travel to the kingdom of the dwarven mountain gods.

If they fall in the Xiqiu Province polluted by the breath of death, they will turn into ugly undead, which is absolutely not allowed.

"Get out."

Jed Ironforge, the governor of Xiqiu Province, pointed at the young dwarf viscount and scolded him mercilessly.

Seeing the cold looks from his colleagues around him, the young dwarf Viscount realized what he had done. He lowered his head and was driven out of the conference room in despair.

Afterwards, everyone had a heated discussion. There was only one core issue, which was to get the troops to evacuate Xigas Province at the minimum cost.

To this end, two different perspectives are divided.

The first point of view is that taking a boat to the north through the Misty River can allow 80,000 troops to retreat safely.

The reason for the objection is also simple. All ships combined can only transport five thousand soldiers at a time, and the human army will not give them enough time to retreat.

The second point of view is to retreat to the southwest and encounter an interception by the human army, sacrificing a small force while preserving the large force and continuing to retreat.

But also whose troops were sacrificed first and whose troops were retained first became the reason for everyone's quarrel.

No one wants their troops to be discarded as abandoned, and they all want their troops to be retained first.

"I decided to retreat in two directions."

In the end, Jed Ironforge, the governor of the West Hills Province, was ready to adopt this compromise plan.

The dwarf nobles under him each have their own interests. If they continue to quarrel, there is no need to talk about retreat, they can just sit back and wait for death.

"Andra, although your soldiers only have 3,000 soldiers, they are part of the Kingdom's army and are also the most elite of our army. I will hand over two-thirds of the ships to you and let your troops go north along the Misty River. Retreat and take away the important supplies at the same time." Jade pointed at a gold mid-level dwarf warrior and said in a deep voice.

When the middle-aged dwarf general heard this, he stood up and replied loudly: "Yes, Lord Governor."

"The rest of the army followed this governor all the way south, crossed the Misty River from the short stone entrance on the national border, and entered the Gray Mansions Wasteland."

"Each of you selects a thousand soldiers to form a force of 15,000 people to clear the way for the army to move south as a vanguard army."

Jade looked at the embarrassed faces of everyone, thought for a while, and then said: "The natural disaster of the undead broke out in Xiqiu Province, and some dwarves must have entered the Gray Mansions Wasteland. As long as our army enters the Gray Mansions Wasteland, you will not have any troops in your hands." loss."

"Xiqiu Province no longer exists. I know that the army has become the last resort in your hands. If you want the family to pass on, it is absolutely impossible without the army. These governors also know this."

"But if you are wasted here, killed and captured by humans, your family's inheritance will also be cut off."

"I will select three thousand soldiers from my army to join the vanguard army. This is my biggest initial concession. I hope you will not be disrespectful."

After weighing the pros and cons, the three dwarf earls and twelve dwarf viscounts finally bowed their heads to the governor.

If you don't leave here, anything you say is empty talk.

On the other side, the 135th Army Corps led by Weilin received an order from the Corps Headquarters and marched westward to set up defenses at Dushikou as the Corps' last line of defense to block the possibility of the dwarf army escaping.

Aishikou is the narrowest port in the middle section of the Misty River, and it is also the port with the most rapid water.

Weilin stood on the shore and could clearly see the bottom of the river through the clear water.

"Order the troops to cross the river and set up defenses on the west bank of Dishikou." Weilin pointed to the other side of the river and ordered everyone.

Some of the noble generals following Weilin understood his intentions, while others expressed doubts about this order.

However, no one disobeyed Weilin, the legion commander's order, and began to let his troops cross the river.

He set up defenses on the east coast and fought directly with the dwarf army. His own army might not be able to withstand this group of mourning soldiers.

Mobilize the army to the west bank, arrange the army in formation, focus on using archers, move the magic cannon to a higher position, and directly attack the dwarf troops crossing the river from a distance. It is simple and trouble-free, and at the same time reduces the casualties of the army.

"Kyle, you ask Cassius to lead two thousand troops and burn down all the forest houses within thirty kilometers of the east coast of Dishikou. As long as they can build ships, I will destroy them all."

"Yes, my lord."
