On the morning of the fourth day, the vanguard of 600 human light cavalry set off first, and the mixed team of 600 human heavy cavalry and 600 elves began to follow up two hours later.
The entire joint cavalry team was led by Daelin himself as the supreme commander, and the elves only sent necessary commanders to assist.
Although it is a rapid march, in fact the marching speed is not very fast. After all, the ground troops are not as fast as the flying troops. Because it is necessary for the cavalry to maintain some spare energy at any time, they must stop and let the mounts move freely for a while after walking for almost a distance before marching again.
Generally speaking, the cavalry marched for eight hours a day, four hours in the morning, let the mounts move freely at noon to rest for a period of time, marched for another four hours in the afternoon, and then rested at night. Even if you march in a hurry, you can't march for more than ten hours a day, because people can bear it, but the mount can't, after all, the mount is a knight with a hunchback!
Stopping and stopping like this, the joint cavalry unit led by Daelin finally arrived at the outskirts of Grim Batol after fourteen days.
At this time, the fire had long since been extinguished, and with Grim Batol as the center, it turned into a dark ashes **** with a radius of tens of miles. Not to mention the orcs, I didn't even see a living animal, and there were burnt marks everywhere.
Daelin led the joint cavalry unit walking alone on the thick ashes on the ground, marching through the scorched land scorched by the flames. It didn't take long to walk, and everyone in the United Cavalry Unit, which was originally glamorous, soon became as dirty and ashamed as a beggar.
As they marched all the way, they also raised smoke and dust all the way. The soldiers could only wrap their mouths and noses with towels, only revealing a pair of bright eyes shining under the black soot-covered forehead.
After walking so hard for a long time, they finally saw 600 vanguard light cavalry wandering around the gate of Grim Batol like a group of beggars near the gate of Grim Batol.
The light cavalry had a small number of armored soldiers, so they didn't dare to rush into Grim Batol with such a small number of people. Anyway, not long ago, this was the base camp of two entire orc legions! For the sake of caution, they decided to wait until they joined up with the main force before riding into Grim Batol under Daelin's order.
When the troops entered Grim Batol, the light cavalry as the vanguard and the main force led by Daelin were only two to three hundred meters apart.
The situation in Grim Batol is not much better than the situation outside the city, and it can even be said to be more miserable than the situation outside the city. At least outside of Grim Batol, there weren't that many gray-white bones that were burnt to a crisp and shattered when touched.
And here... It is not too much to say that it is a city of bones or a city of death. Almost every few steps the soldiers of the Combined Cavalry Unit would see one or several orc skeletons that had been burned to a powdery white.
Often next to the complete gray-white skeletons, there will be some metals that have been burnt to gray-black, fragments of metal armor all over the place, and the metal parts of many weapons, while other non-metallic parts such as weapons The handle and sword pin of the sword were burned to ashes by the fire.
All the officers of the Combined Cavalry Unit were shocked, and they couldn't imagine how tragic the situation was at that time. More than twelve thousand orcs! There are two full legions!
Who would have imagined that ten or twenty days ago, there were more than 10,000 extremely strong orcs bustling here alive and kicking, but now...these people...all became lying on the ground without sound, breaking into countless small pieces when touched crunchy bones? Even the human soldiers of the Combined Cavalry Unit who were accustomed to seeing life and death, as well as the elf rangers and mages were shocked, and their hearts were shocked.
The soldiers of the combined cavalry unit were a little cautious at the beginning, for fear that a group of remnant orc troops would suddenly rush out from a certain corner to launch a surprise attack on them, and they were even more afraid of making too much noise and giving away the powerful force that caused this result. I was shocked because it was so quiet in here.
But the further they walked towards the center of Grim Batol, the soldiers of the United Cavalry began to relax more and more. Where else is there anyone here? Where is this still a city where one person lives?
This place is obviously a real **** on earth, except for the countless complete and crunchy gray-white orc skeletons or skeletons. The entire dilapidated city of Grim Batol was silent, only the sound of their own walking.
Deep underground in Grim Batol.
In a cave with scorching hot magma flowing on the ground, an extremely huge black dragon suddenly opened its huge eyes, revealing the slender black pupils like poisonous snakes, and the terrifying pupils moved slightly.
someone is coming!
The huge black dragon sensed some tiny ants moving on the ground, so it released its consciousness to the ground, quietly observing and listening to the behavior and speech of those ants.
Hinterlands.
The Council of Quel'Dannis has been very busy during this period. In order to negotiate with several other forces in the Hinterlands to form the Hinterlands United Legion, UU read www. uukanshu.com The main members of the Quel'Danis Council are exhausted from running around all day long, and they quarrel with representatives of several forces every day, so that their mouths are dry. But the council members of Quel'Danis never tire of it, full of energy and firepower all day long.
Ever since the Blood Eagle Legion came to Hinterlands and brought back the order from the city lord to form the Hinterlands United Legion. The entire Quel'Dannis council was boiling, and each of the council members seemed to have taken Viagra, and each of them was gearing up to show off their might.
damn it! It's been so long! Finally, I don't have to go to farm every day and deal with countless trivial matters every day! Finally, Lao Tzu is starting to look like a leader! Finally, I can take the lead in calling several races to hold a joint meeting!
However, this matter is really not easy! He didn't dare to let Quel'Danis suffer too much, and he couldn't let things go without a little progress. After two months of haggling and haggling, eighteen kinds of martial arts were used, and all the members of the council showed their skills, finally reached an agreement with the main forces of the Hinterlands to form a joint army.
Originally, the councilors thought that in the face of the huge real threat from the outside like the orcs, it would be a matter of course for all the ethnic groups in Xantlan to unite to protect their common homeland. Even if there are some difficulties, the problem should not be a big one. The biggest problem should be how to ensure the interests of Quel'Danis, and how to occupy a dominant position in the future combined legions.
But to the astonishment of all the members of the Quel'Dannis Council, the problem did not lie in this, but in a place they had never expected.
