Chapter 469: Burning the Company Camp (Third Update)

With his decision in mind, Tiger Roar immediately set the orc army into action.

The orcs cut down a large number of trees and used them to create wooden ladders that they planned to use to break through the ravines outside the Condor camp.

After learning of the movements of the orc army, Ji Wushuang immediately urgently requisitioned the owl army scattered in other cities, and mobilized the soldiers and civilians in the rear to prepare a large amount of dry firewood.

While the orcs were still making wooden ladders and wooden shields, on a dark and windy night, more than 200,000 owl warriors set out from the Yilan region, each of them clutching a large bundle of dry firewood drenched with fire oil under their feet.

Under the cover of night, this special legion of owls managed to fly to the vicinity of the orc camp.

At this time, the orc's camp was full of wooden ladders and wooden shields that had been made these days, and the leftovers from processing were all over the ground.

With a terrible shout, the legion of owls that flew to the vicinity was soon spotted by the orc night guards.

After hearing the warning sound, the entire orc camp suddenly boiled, and the orc warriors quickly got out of the tent, and then immediately entered the battle state.

Although this orc army has no long-range attack means, they are not afraid of flying owl warriors, and a normal tiger warrior can easily take out an owl warrior who swoops down.

Although Ning Yuan equipped some owl warriors with javelins, it was impossible to defeat this orc legion with just some javelins, in addition to being able to shoot some unlucky guys, they would also provide a batch of weapons to the orcs for free, so this method was not advisable.

Ji Wushuang originally wanted to use the Owl Legion at a critical moment, but he never expected that the enemy would create an excellent opportunity for him to attack so quickly, so he did not hesitate to transfer all the nearby Owl Army.

Although they were discovered by the enemy, because the Owl Legion was here to deliver the airdrop this time, they didn't care about the orcs on the ground, they flew to the designated place according to the original plan, and then escaped quickly after letting go of the dry wood they were holding under their feet.

Looking at the sudden rain of dry firewood in the sky, the tiger roared and screamed badly, and then immediately began to instruct the orcs to remove the dry firewood that fell from the sky.

Unfortunately, by the time they reacted, it was already too late, because along with the dry firewood, torches soaked in fire oil fell.

Many flying races don't dare to play with fire in the sky because of the feathers on their wings, but the angels are not among them.

Ji Wushuang's punishment legion had soldiers of all races, so he directly handed over the task of setting fire to the angel warriors in the legion.

Some of the angelic warriors who were in charge of setting the fire flew to the top of the orc camp with the owl warriors, and some of them lay in ambush around the orc camp.

As soon as the Owl Legion began to carry out the airdrop, they immediately lit the torch in their hands with a fire breaker and threw it down.

As the torches ignited the dry wood and weeds on the ground, a fire broke out in the orc camp.

It is said that water and fire are ruthless, although this natural disaster is man-made, but people are just a medium, once a natural disaster is formed, it is not something that can be controlled by manpower.

In just a moment, the entire orc camp was completely plunged into flames, and the orcs could no longer care about extinguishing the fire, and began to flee for their lives.

Because there were flames everywhere, the orcs instinctively fled to the place where the fire was smaller.

Under the crowding of people, it is inevitable that there will be a stampede, and many orcs who were squeezed down were suddenly trampled to death by countless pairs of big feet behind them.

Many orcs have always been known for their hot tempers, and in normal times, their immediate superiors can still restrain them, but at this moment, it is difficult for anyone to speak, and many orcs have begun to fight in order to snatch the way of escape.

This kind of fight started out on a small number of orcs, but as the fire grew bigger and bigger, so did the anger of the orcs, and in order to escape, some big guys began to take the initiative to attack those who stood in their way.

So this kind of fighting intensified, and in the end, even an inter-ethnic confrontation was formed, and new and old hatreds between different races were rekindled by this fire.

The fire burned all night, and countless orc warriors were killed in the flames.

At the beginning, Tiger Roar wanted to command the orc army to extinguish the fire, but unfortunately no one listened to him at all, seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, he had no choice but to lead his personal guard to flee with the others.

After killing some of the guys who didn't have long eyes, Tiger Roar managed to escape.

Because he was afraid of being ambushed by the Owl Legion, he didn't dare to stay outside the camp, and he ran for dozens of miles with the surviving orcs before stopping.

After counting the number of people at dawn, Tiger Roar was so angry that he began to cut down the big tree next to him frantically, and after cutting three big trees in a row, he calmed down again, and then sat down on the ground dejectedly.

In this expedition, he brought out a total of 300,000 orcs, and now there are less than 30,000 people left around him.

In addition to the more than 30,000 people who died in the first two battles with the Condor Army, more than 200,000 people died in the fire.

After so many people died and lost so aggrieved, how could he not be angry?

Tiger Roar will be defeated so completely this time, in fact, he is completely to blame, it is he who provided Ji Wushuang with the opportunity to burn the company camp.

If he hadn't ordered a large-scale logging and made all kinds of wooden ladders and wooden shields in the camp, Ji Wushuang would not have thought of setting it on fire, because it would have been impossible to set the entire orc camp on fire with the dry firewood thrown down by the owl warriors alone.

The dry firewood dropped by the Owl Legion was only a medium, and it was the various wood products and scraps that were scattered throughout the camp that really served for it.

The dry wood soaked in fire oil was actually used to ignite the wood, and without the wood in the camp, the fire would not have been burned.

Therefore, Tiger Roar will have today's end, and it is completely self-inflicted.

What's more, although the fire burned very much, there were not many orcs who were actually burned to death by the fire, most of them died from stampedes and cannibalism, and some fled in the other direction.

Because the east of the orc camp is the Songhua River, and water can overcome fire, so after seeing the fire, many orcs instinctively fled to the Songhua River, and then plunged into the river, desperately swimming towards the other side of the river.

The tigers are invincible on the ground, but in the water, they are like down-and-out phoenixes that are not as good as chickens.

For this God-given opportunity, the Condor Army will definitely not miss it, and the owl warriors who are monitoring the enemy on the periphery follow as soon as possible.

The tigermen who enter the water are like kittens, at the mercy of the owl warriors, although they can burrow into the water to avoid the raids of the owl warriors, they are not aquatic after all, and they have to float to the surface every once in a while to breathe.

This was the time when they were at their most vulnerable, and as soon as many tigermen poked their heads out, they were crushed by the swooping owl warriors.

Soon, the surface of the river was dyed crimson, and the corpses of orcs were everywhere.

This inability to fight back was a blow to the orcs, and many of them began to shout and surrender.

In the face of the surrendered orcs, the owl warriors were not easy to kill, but they were worried that these guys would regret once they came ashore, so they led the surrendered orcs to swim to the camp of the penising army, and then let the ground legion of the penisal army capture them one by one.

There were about 100,000 orcs who fled into the Songhua River, and in addition to some orcs who were killed by the owl warriors and drowned in poor water, the Condor Army captured more than 120,000 people.

Because there were too many orc captives, in order to avoid accidents, Ji Wushuang had to stay and personally preside over the overall situation, and for the remnants of the orcs who escaped, he sent his cavalry regiment to pursue.
