Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

"What's going on? Why did the orcs suddenly stop?"

Just as Levi was gathering his team to cross the river, he suddenly discovered that the orcs he touched had stopped one kilometer outside the camp and would not move forward.

Although the orcs paused their actions, Levi did not think this meant that the orcs had not discovered them.

"No matter, everyone, cross the river!"

Facing the sudden appearance of the orcs, Levi no longer had time to think about the reasons. He only wanted to get to the other side of the Orin River first and then launch his plan in advance.

Levi's original idea was that under normal circumstances the enemy would not pursue him at night, so as long as Levi was not overtaken before dark, he could have a good night's rest.

When the enemy caught up with Li Wei the next day, Li Wei crossed the river under the eyes of the enemy, attracting the enemy to follow him across the river. At that time, Li Wei sent a signal to Beram upstream to break the embankment and release the water.

The water accumulated all afternoon and night in the upper reaches, enough water to destroy a cavalry brigade in one blow.

However, God's calculations are not as good as those of God. The orcs caught up with Levi early. At this time, the amount of water accumulated upstream was only half of the original plan. If it were launched in advance, the effect might be far less than expected.

"Captain, the enemy seems to have discovered us, and they want to run!"

"Damn it, I thought I had cleaned up the hunters on the outside. I don't know where a fish slipped through the net and exposed us."

"Then captain, are we still attacking?"

"It's useless to attack. If we were not exposed, we could have waited until late at night to attack at night. Now that our whereabouts have been exposed, the enemy is no weaker than us, and we lack backup. How can we attack?"

"What about us?"

"Just follow them, keep a good distance, don't lose them, and be careful of the enemy's counterattack.

We just need to stay up until dawn and wait for reinforcements to encircle us. "

At this time, in Hank's temporary headquarters, the Sunshine master who was usually feared by other subordinates was furious.

"Idiots, they are all idiots! A cavalry brigade was actually beaten and annihilated by a smaller number of homeless dogs than itself!

I can understand being defeated, but how can you be completely annihilated! ? How could they be wiped out? ! "

Angry, Hank slapped the military newspaper onto the table, shattering the sturdy iron and wood desk.

"Where are Orens and his centaur army?"

"Lord Legion Commander, according to the previous message received, Lord Orens will not be able to reach the ford where they crossed the river before dark. They should camp 25 kilometers away from the ferry for repairs."

"Hmph, when Orens set out, he vowed to win the position of acting commander of this cavalry battalion, but ended up losing a battle and losing all his energy. Now he is playing tricks on me, trying to swindle foreign workers!

Tell Orens that no matter what he thinks of, I must meet up with Johnny and the others before nine o'clock tomorrow morning! Otherwise, he would not be the captain of the cavalry. There are many people who can replace him! "

"Okay sir."

"Also, tell Johnny that as long as he can entangle the target, help the army encircle and annihilate the enemy, then the acting battalion commander of the cavalry battalion will be his, and even as long as he performs well enough, the 'agent' can be removed!

Similarly, if he is as useless as his good-for-nothing cousin, then forget about being the commander of the cavalry battalion. I would rather hold the position myself! "

"Sir, do you have any instructions for the other two infantry camps?"

Hank pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The second step camp was originally scheduled to stay still, stay vigilant, and be careful of the cunning little mouse playing tricks.

At the same time, you must be ready to attack at any time. Once the order is given, you must set off immediately!

The First Battalion will move fifteen kilometers north at dawn tomorrow and then stand by in place. "

Under the bright moonlight, the Orlin River, with its flow greatly reduced, was calm and bright.

The remaining water in the river is no more than thirty centimeters high. Without the obstruction of trees, the reflection of the full moon in the water is very clear.

Suddenly, a horse's hoof stepped hard into the stagnant water, and the moon shadow was shattered. Then, a burst of noise broke the quiet Olin River.

Levi crossed the river.

"Quick, quick, quick! The lightly wounded go first, and all the knights of level three or above take the rear!"

"No chaos, everyone dismounts and leads the horses to walk!"

"Pay attention to the horse's hooves, don't get stuck in the cracks of the rocks!"

"Damn, this cunning human really doesn't give you a chance."

Originally, Johnny wanted to take advantage of the opportunity for the opponent to cross the river to launch a sneak attack, but the cautious Levi arranged for the Frozen Knights and other knights of the third level and above to take the rear. Although the number was not large, the combat power was definitely high enough. Johnny I don’t want to confront the enemy head-on at all.

"Sir, aren't we going to chase you now?"

"Chasing? What the hell! What if the enemy suddenly comes and kills us halfway across the river? Are you going to block it?"

"Then let's just stay across the river like this?"

"Otherwise? Anyway, the other party will not consider marching at night. We have just walked at night for more than two hours, and we have lost dozens of brothers. If the other party walks at night all night, I am afraid that half of them will be lost. .”

"The captain is wise!"

"Huh, just wait until daytime. Our friendly forces will slowly come around during the day, but we have to be careful of them escaping quietly in the early morning. We will send a few people to keep an eye on them."

"Yes!"

"Lord Baron, the orcs don't seem to be chasing us."

"Haha, the leader must have frightened the other side. They don't dare to pursue too closely now."

Initially Levi nodded happily, but soon he frowned.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

"It's bad. I'm afraid the enemy will stay by the river and find us building a dam upstream to block the water."

Levi's original idea was to run away immediately after the orcs chased him, attracting the other party to chase him immediately, and then send a signal to the upstream Beram to break the dike and release the water.

In a hurry, the orcs didn't have time to pay attention to the water level and other conditions, so it was easy to fall into the trap.

But now that the enemy is parked by the river, they might react after a long time.

"We continue walking, but we don't have to go very far. According to the most conventional retreat configuration, the Ice Blade Knight breaks up, the others go first, and then the Ice Blade Knight follows up."

The orcs on the other side were very cautious, and Li Wei had to make his retreat gesture real enough to lure the enemy over.

"Brother, look at how the water here is shallow and slow. The place where we crossed the river this morning was a shoal, but the current is much faster than this."

"Hey, it's really strange what you said. How about we report it to the squad leader."

Before the two of them found the squad leader, an urgent assembly whistle suddenly sounded.

"Emergency gathering!"

Johnny sat anxiously on his warg, a sullen look on his face.

"Damn it, why are the humans on the other side so inconsiderate that they dare to walk at night?"

It doesn’t work anymore. I can’t even draw it clearly. I spent the whole night coding today. I didn’t play any games or watch any dramas, so I just managed to write this chapter. There are a lot of details that I don’t understand.

I can only say that the teacher’s commanding art is really awesome.
