Chapter 387: The Battle of Feng—the remnant army of Xiqiu Province

Two days later, Orlando brought back three petrified fire dragons.

Verin was lying on the low table, curiously observing the three fire dragon eggs, which exuded a faint breath of life. As a druid, he could feel it.

I knocked it with my hand and it made a crisp sound. It was a good egg.

"Thanks a lot."

"My lord, this is what I should do," Orlando replied with a smile.

"I have been urging your brother more recently. If there is no war, he must practice hard." Weilin warned him. It was definitely not that he was practicing yesterday while this brat was wandering around.

"Don't worry, Lord, I will keep an eye on him." Orlando promised, patting his chest.

For more than a year, his master had practiced very hard. During this period, while there was nothing going on in the army, Orlando put strict demands on himself and forgot about his brother for a while.

Three hundred meters away from the Chinese military camp, Hebrew felt a chill on his back, as if something bad was about to happen to him.

……

At night on January 10th, in a camp outside the east gate of Marius City, several dwarf officers gathered together to discuss the order suddenly given to them by General Gold, the defender of Marius City.

"General Andela, although we have seven thousand troops, only three thousand are soldiers. The other four thousand are refugees who escaped from Xiqiu Province. They were thrown to us by Gord to supplement the number of troops. The actual combat strength is only the same as that of soldiers. The army of ordinary human nobles is too large to be of much use." A high-ranking silver dwarf officer replied in a low voice.

Andra didn't answer. She turned to look at another subordinate and asked, "Michde, how is the situation over there?"

"General, according to the information I have collected, it is very likely that we have become abandoned. Please give us an explanation." The dwarf officer whose name was called had a bitter look on his face and replied.

"How is that possible?" the dwarf sitting on the right side of Andra shouted loudly, "Didn't Gord promise us that we would serve as the vanguard and they attack from the side of Yehekou? Isn't he deceiving us?"

There was scrutiny in Andra's eyes, and he didn't quite believe the intelligence collected by Michid. As a general, Gord not only reached the low-level soul level in terms of strength, but also controlled an army of 30,000 in Marius City. He was the leader of Hador. The Duke's eldest son, Gemil, has capable men, so there is no need to deceive them into a remnant army.

"General, this is the alarm collected by my subordinates. It may be true or it may be false. It's up to you to decide." Upon seeing this, Michid lowered his head and said.

As Michid sat down, the tent became quiet.

Everyone is thinking about the authenticity of this information. If Gord's enemies throw out this false information and cause them to miss the opportunity to fight, they may be detained or even beheaded on the spot.

"Everyone, what do you think, how reliable is Michid's information?"

Facing Andra's inquiry, the dwarf officers who were not thinking well all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.

Looking around at the group of subordinates, Andela felt dizzy.

Among his subordinates, only Michid has a strategy. The other five officers only know how to fight. Their minds are full of wine and blacksmithing, and then they can no longer hold anything more.

"We only have seven days. Once the seven days are over, if we stay still, we will be greeted by Duke Hador's army. I believe you also know the bravery of the Duke's army."

"If you have any ideas, please tell us directly and see how to verify whether we are being treated as abandoned children."

After another three minutes, a 1.2-meter-tall dwarf stood up, took a sip of wine, touched his beard, and replied: "General, I suggest you capture some Marius City garrison officers and question them. Then you can know whether the news is true or false."

"Okay, okay, sit down." Andela waved her hand helplessly and asked the dwarf officer to sit down.

Those dwarf officers in Marius City who know the truth are all stronger than him. Are they going to be captured with their heads?

Several dwarf officers stood up one after another. Some suggested pretending to attack and then taking the opportunity to evacuate and test it out. Others suggested going directly to the door to inquire and swear an oath in the name of the mountain dwarf god.

Andra slapped her forehead, very speechless. These idiots simply treat others as fools. What kind of strength and status do you have, and what kind of strength and status do others have.

Putting yourself in my shoes, do I, Andra, need to make a guarantee to you people when I give the order?

"Okay, let's act accordingly. Since Gord wants us to fight Wild Hekou, let's fight."

"General, are you really going to fight?" Michid said loudly with a shocked look on his face.

"Fight, why not fight? Fighting is the same as winning or failing. If something goes wrong, just retreat. I don't believe they can do anything better than force us to die."

"Ugh--"

So far, that's all.

The governor of the original Stone Hill Province, Jed Ironforge, was transferred back to the royal capital by the king because of the undead natural disaster. His troops, which were evacuated from the direction of Dishikou, were merged into the Angara provincial army and entered Duke Hador. The army he led was controlled by Duke Hador.

According to military rules, Gord is now Andra's immediate superior. Disobeying his orders requires being tried. Without legitimate reasons, Andra can only choose to obey the order.

Early the next morning, a large amount of military supplies were delivered to the army of the Xiqiu Provincial Legion. It was called a legion in name, but in fact there were only 7,000 people, which was really shabby.

After changing the equipment, Andela used 2,000 soldiers as the front army, 3,000 soldiers as the middle army, and the remaining 2,000 old and weak as the rear army to escort supplies.

The news of the unusual movement in the direction of the dwarves was quickly sent to Verin by Kyle.

"Isn't the opponent's flag the flag of Duke Hador's army?" Verin confirmed again.

Kyle nodded and replied: "Yes, Lord, according to the report sent by Viscount Edgar, the banner of this army is the West Hills Provincial Army."

"A legion has at least 60,000 people. Even after downsizing, this Xiqiu Province legion has at least 30,000 people. It is a big enemy. I sent an order to Viscount Edgar to withdraw the army and at the same time ordered the entire army to assemble."

"Yes."

……

"General, the human army has evacuated." A dwarf warrior quickly came to Andra and reported loudly.

"The enemy retreated first. What is going on?"

A big question mark appeared in Andra's mind. This seemed to be something wrong with what he expected.

"General, I think we should postpone the action and don't forget the battle three years ago." Michid reminded.

"Yes, this may be a bait for the human army." Andela was sure that this group of treacherous human armies definitely had some conspiracy behind them.

"Instruct the whole army to stop advancing, and send another team of 100 people to reconnoiter the situation. If there is any change, report to me immediately."

"Yes, General." After receiving Andra's order, the dwarf warrior stood up and left quickly.
