[Your hero Howell Blackheart is dead. 】
[Your hero Levi Blackheart is dead. 】
Smollett's eyes widened in an instant. In a short period of time, his two most capable generals and two 4-star heroes were all dead!
What he thought was a very easy battle actually cost him such a heavy price!
In this short period of time, his troops have lost two thousand combat units!
Most of these are experienced veterans who have followed him through large and small battles, and are far beyond the comparison of the new recruits.
What made him even more heartbroken was the loss of the two hundred dragon knights.
This is a level 4 flying unit. He had spent a lot of effort and resources to obtain these units before. It can be said to be his trump card.
But now it was lost together with the wyvern commander.
Smollett already regretted it, these damn humans.
But now he could no longer retreat.
If he retreats like this, he will become a joke to the Red Ax Empire.
The lord who leads an army of ten thousand is actually afraid of a human who only has an army of one thousand.
He will be called a coward and die in endless ridicule.
For an orc who valued martial arts, it would be better to kill him directly.
What's more, there are also the orc lords under his command and that damn undead lord.
If he escapes, these orc lords will laugh at him immediately and then no longer be loyal to him.
Even challenged him.
This is something Smollett cannot accept at any cost.
But if this continues, I am afraid that even if we lose thousands of soldiers and horses, we will not be able to break through the opponent.
Smollett has discovered that the orcs in the front formation have lost the command of the hero and are at a disadvantage.
And having suffered a heavy blow on the hillside, the soldiers were demoralized.
This is not the way to go.
Smollett could only reluctantly order a temporary retreat to reorganize the army.
The desolate horn sounded, and the orc army retreated like a tide, leaving a pile of corpses on the hills.
Seeing this scene, all the human lords could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although they had the upper hand in the previous battle, the army that came like a tide still made them full of pressure.
I feel like a small boat in the ocean, ready to capsize at any moment.
"I, we won!" A lord shouted excitedly.
They originally fought with the idea of dying together with the enemy, but now that they survived, they felt excited and excited about the rest of their lives.
"No, they haven't given up yet." Lu Yuan broke their illusions in a deep voice.
The lords looked down and saw that the foreign troops were reorganizing and still surrounding the hills. They didn't look like they were going to retreat at all.
"They are temporarily frustrated, but when they reorganize their troops, the next attack will be even more fierce." Lu Yuan said.
"Don't forget, they still have several times our strength and still have the advantage."
"In the past, we only had the terrain advantage to kill the opponent."
"But the other side is likely to respond."
Following Lu Yuan's words, everyone fell silent.
"Brother Lu, we all listen to you about what to do next!" It was Zang Li who spoke.
Zang Li and Qian Hua could be said to have taken the lead in this battle, charging forward to fight the orc soldiers.
Both of them were injured, and Zang Li's left arm was left with a large gash. Although it was bandaged, a large amount of blood still seeped out.
Therefore, everyone's views on them have changed.
Lu Yuan looked around at everyone before speaking slowly.
"Although we have a small victory so far, the opponent still has about 8,000 troops. If we want to defeat the opponent, we can only win by surprise."
"Only by taking the initiative can we defeat the opponent!" Lu Yuan said in a deep voice.
Huo Yang lost his voice and said, "Take the initiative?"
Others were also surprised and some couldn't believe it.
It is true that with Lu Yuan's troops and heroes, they had defeated these foreign races.
But this was also due to the geographical advantage they occupied. The tens of thousands of these orcs attacked upwards, and the terrain was inaccessible to them. This allowed them to win by virtue of their geographical advantage.
But if you want to take the initiative, these advantages will disappear.
With 10,000 people facing eight times the enemy, they had no chance of winning.
"Brother Lu, they have many soldiers, now is not the time to be impulsive." Huo Yang advised, fearing that the other party would get carried away because of a victory.
"Yes, Brother Lu, as long as we hold on to this favorable location, they won't be able to attack easily even if there are many people." Lou Junyuan also persuaded.
Lu Yuan's eyes swept over everyone's faces. It was obvious that most people had similar thoughts to them, and they all wanted to hold the hilltop and fight a defensive battle.
"Everyone is right. We were able to win so easily, mostly because of the favorable location."
“But location can also turn into a disadvantage.”
Amidst everyone's puzzled looks, Lu Yuan pointed at his feet.
"Sir, how many people do you think this hill can accommodate?"
Everyone looked puzzled, wondering why Lu Yuan suddenly said this.
Lu Yuan was not prepared to ask them to give an answer, so he continued, "This is just a small hill. It can only accommodate 10,000 or 20,000 people."
"As for such a hill, if the other party surrounds the hill and sets fire below, where do you think we can hide?"
"In the end, our most likely outcome is to be burned to death on this mountain."
Following Lu Yuan's words, everyone fell silent.
Several people opened their mouths to refute, but immediately shut their mouths.
Perhaps, those alien races may not use fire attacks.
But if the opponent uses fire attacks, those aliens don't even have to attack. They only need to defend the key points and burn them to death on the mountain.
Who dares to bet on this possibility!
Your own destiny can only be in your own hands!
"Brother Lu, tell me what to do, and we will listen to you!"
"That's right! Let's follow Brother Lu's lead!"
"Sneak attacks in the east and attack in the west, go straight for the vital points!"
Lu Yuan's voice revealed confidence, which made everyone look at him and give him hope of victory.
