Chapter 67: The Gate of Broken Bones

The brief encounter ended, and the ghost-eyed Kazan gathered the remnants of his army, his face gloomy as water.

There were more than 2,000 mercenaries here, but under the surprise attack of less than one-tenth of the monsters, nearly 400 people were directly lost, and two E-class mercenary groups were completely defeated.

Although the life of a mercenary is not worth much in his opinion.

But his mission was not completed, and the dangerous ogre territory was not cleaned.

As a last resort, Kazan could only order the entire army to retreat and rest in place.

And he used magic communication to contact the Chinese army.

The people of the Wolf Tooth Mercenary Regiment carried the three corpses, randomly found a wasteland far away from the forest, and burned the corpses with a fire.

They were members of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Regiment who died in this battle, including the Blood Wolf Wren.

This fierce man ended up being disemboweled, and he died with a troll.

Looking at the flames on the corpse, Jones's only one-eye showed sadness.

These are old friends who have been with him for more than ten years, and Wren is his friend.

This is the fate of the mercenaries, begging for a life on the knife edge, and sooner or later it will usher in such an ending.

In the wilderness, corpses must be burned with fire.

Otherwise, they will be thrown out by wild beasts and eaten, or they will simply become material for necromancers.

No one wants such an ending.

Not only the Wolf Tooth Mercenary Group, but also all large and small mercenary groups also held funerals for their deceased comrades.

Cangye only attended for five minutes before returning to the camp to recuperate, citing his injuries.

Joining forces with the orc sword fighter twice exhausted all of the night's strength, and there was nothing left.

In a few dozen minutes, I barely regained the physical strength to walk.

The loss of health is not bad, and it has been firmly controlled by Cangye at about one-seventh.

Hearthstone equips each mercenary with an inefficient recovery potion, which restores 50 health in half a day.

It is this small tube that is enough to ask for 500 gold in the market.

No matter how bad the effect is, it is also a magic potion that can only be concocted by the caster.

Even for a D-class regiment like the Blood Raven Mercenary Regiment, it is an unimaginable luxury.

Swallowing the potion of the red liquid, he waited quietly for the injury to recover.

During this period, many mercenaries came to greet Cangye one after another.

Part of it is pure admiration for force, part of it is gratitude for saving lives;

Others were lobbyists sent by two D-class regiments.

The orc sword fighter had come once and had been talking to the night for more than ten minutes.

The other party's name is Hel Thunderhammer, and he comes from a world that believes in orc gods.

Hunted down for killing the shaman who raped his wife, he had to come to Prometheus.

Hull is a taciturn man, speaking most of the time in the night.

Through the previous battle, both men had previously established their initial tacit understanding.

Although it cannot be said that it is completely trusted, at least we can fight side by side.

After the two entered into a simple offensive and defensive alliance, Hull, who was not good at words, took his leave and left.

Looking at the distant figure of the orc, a flame suddenly burst out from the fire in front of him.

Looking at the flame in a daze, the night didn't know what to think.

……

The war was won after all.

The two top casters of the 'House of Owls' hired by Hearthstone, the Astral Sorcerer (4th Order) and the Grand Druid (4th Order), shot at the same time, injuring the ogre.

Defeated at the top, the heavily armed ogre warriors were finally defeated by the onslaught of the city-states that had reacted in time, especially the flank raids of the hoplites and the dense battle array of the Hearthstone dwarven super-lance guards.

However, the cost of victory in the war was indeed close to a thousand dead and wounded.

As a result, Calles had to temporarily suspend his army to recuperate, and at this moment, a communication came from Kazan.

The distance between the two sides at the same time and the fact that they were both injured was not light, which made the faces of the commanders of each side change in horror.

Since when did the always stupid ogres know how to use tactics?

Although he is brutal and bloodthirsty, Calles is not a madman who can only kill.

After a little thought, he ordered Kazan to send out twelve teams of scouts to patrol the perimeter, and the rest of them all retreated to the Chinese army.

Things have come to this point where leaders have had to change their strategies.

General Kazan received the order and immediately ordered to go down in a team of 12 people, with a total of 144 people set aside as scouts, equipped with a small number of war horses to patrol the surrounding environment in a circle.

This time, Cangye was lucky not to be assigned to the scouts.

He had already shown his worth in the previous encounters, how could such a talented Kazan get him into the scouts, and at the same time, Hull also enjoyed the same treatment as Night.

The mercenary legion slowly retreated.

On the periphery, twelve scout teams had traveled dozens of kilometers away, patrolling the two armies in a semi-circular arc array.

A day passed, and the mercenary corps converged with the Chinese army.

Two days later, the ogre didn't move at all.

The excessive silence made everyone's hearts a little uneasy.

And this uneasiness completely erupted in the early morning of the next day.

……

There is a checkpoint on the road to the Ogre City.

This is a large sloping plain formed by the uplift of two small hills, which the ogres call the 'Gate of Broken Bones'.

Because there is a lot of biological debris piled up here.

These are all food scraps shipped from the Ogre City, most of which are human bones.

In front of the Gate of Broken Bones, the coalition of city-states faced an army of ogres neatly arranged in the Highland Hills.

After the previous losses, the number of ogre warriors still stands at more than 500.

And each of them was heavily armed, holding terrible blunt weapons such as huge axes, war hammers, and iron spike maces.

And next to the ogre was a large swarm of cannon fodder.

Goblins, kobolds, gnolls, cave giants, and two hill giants.

The Hill Giant is a third-order transcendent creature, the challenge difficulty is A+, and the Giant Light without any special abilities is a more terrifying killing weapon than the Cave Giant on the battlefield with a body nearly ten meters tall and a weight of 5,000 pounds.

In particular, the ogres armed them with stone axes that far exceeded the ogre's specifications.

Legend has it that ogres, along with cave giants and hill giants, are descendants of ancient giants, and they are all distant relatives.

In this lineup, Calles' face was very solemn.

The information is not exaggerated at all, and this ogre tribe does have the strength to attack Hearthstone.

At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the sky:

"Human!"

The sound rippled across the ground.

The soldiers in the front row were shocked one by one, their faces were pale and abnormal, and they fainted directly on the spot with weak physique.

Before the war officially began, at least 100 people were temporarily incapacitated.

Just an ordinary roar, the power far exceeds the [Roaring Technique] of the Four Rings, and is close to the [Dragon Roar Mimic] of the Six Rings Spell!

A huge shadow fell from the sky, it was a large lion-faced drake.

The appearance of the dragon beast immediately caused a riot within the coalition forces.

The extremely powerful creature aura caused many warhorses to neigh in horror.

The lion-faced drakemon, with fiery red scales all over its body, looked like a living fire burning from a distance.

The face of a lion, the body of a snake, and the limbs crawled on the ground like a monitor lizard.

As soon as the wings that were nearly 14 meters wide were retracted, a blood-red figure immediately appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing this scene, countless people in the coalition army erupted into fierce screams:

"It's a war demon! This ogre has the presence of war demons! ”

……

If the appearance of the ogre army before caused the morale of the coalition army to fluctuate, then the appearance of the war demon directly caused the morale to fall.

The faces of the strong men of the coalition army were extremely ugly.

None of them will be an opponent of the war demons, and even if they all go together, they won't be able to win.

The performance of the coalition forces, the war demons were all in full view, and the frightened faces made the ogre lord laugh proudly:

"Foolish Prometheus, it's your biggest mistake to be the enemy of the Hammerstone Tribe!"

"In the name of the descendants of the great dragon slayer Gogon, in the name of Grull, go to war, Prometheus, let the war decide where this land belongs!"
