Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

The battle at the crossing of the Orin River ended in only fifteen minutes. Li Wei completely defeated the Centaur cavalry brigade with negligible losses.

Of course, due to the large number of enemies and their lack of fighting spirit, a large number of centaur cavalry fled directly, and Li Wei's soldiers only chopped off two hundred heads.

"Lord Baron, the enemy dispersed so quickly that we had no time to pursue them."

"Don't be depressed. This Centaur brigade has been completely destroyed. The enemy's cavalry force can be said to have been completely paralyzed. Our strategic purpose in the past few days has been achieved."

"Then what should we do next?"

"Cross the Orin River to the north, make a gesture of breaking out to the north, then gather all the scouts and hunters outside, and wait for my further instructions at night."

------------

"How long does it take for us to reach temporary stronghold No. 23?" Konis, the commander of the first battalion, asked the men on the side.

"Batalion Commander, it's almost time. There are less than five kilometers left."

"Humph, these rats in the gutter can only play some tricks that are not acceptable on the stage. I will let them know that in the face of real strength, all tricks are useless!"

"Are you ready for the last wave of traps?"

"Don't worry, Yaqis, we are ready. Now we have used all the bear traps. It's just that it makes me feel so distressed. These bear traps cannot be taken back after they are used here."

"If you can't take it back, you can't take it back. As long as you can complete the tasks assigned by the boss, losing some bear traps is completely worth it.

After this, we left directly as agreed before and went to meet the boss and the others at the Orin River Ferry. "

When Konis led the First Battalion to break through Yaqis's last obstruction and arrived at temporary stronghold No. 23, he was completely dumbfounded.

The orc defenders just huddled in the stronghold and shivered, but Levi's troops disappeared.

"Where are the people? Where are the enemies? Where are the enemies?"

"Report to the battalion commander, we found a clue!"

When Konis arrived at an abandoned camp under the guidance of his men, he felt that his lungs were about to explode.

Things in this abandoned camp were kept clean, with basically no unnecessary items left. If it weren't for the ashes left by the campfire and the large number of footprints, this would be an ordinary open space.

It was obvious that the enemy did not leave just now, but had been away for at least four or five hours, and they did not leave in a hurry.

Konis was fooled, and so were the defenders of Temporary Stronghold No. 23.

The sentries outside temporary stronghold No. 23 were all cleared, and all the scouts sent out were killed by Li Wei's men. Not only did they become deaf and blind, they also became mute who were unable to convey information to the outside world.

Cornis, on the other hand, was induced by various means that Levi could arrange, and finally made a wrong judgment.

"Battal Commander, judging from the footprints on the ground, the enemy should have slipped away to the north."

"To the north? No, Orens' centaur brigade is the enemy's target!

Did the messenger we went to urge Orens come back? "

"Battal Commander, we should have caught up with us long ago, but we have never seen the messenger."

"It's over. It seems that the Centaur Cavalry Brigade is really over this time."

"Battal Commander, what about us?"

"Ignore the centaurs and send a message directly to the legion commander, saying that our first battalion had already captured the enemy, but our centaur brigade was delayed, causing the enemy to get away with its speed advantage. We fled straight north!

This pot cannot be placed on my head! "

------------

At night, we are in a hidden valley in the north of Orinhe River.

"Lord Baron, all of us have returned to Jian!"

"Pack up, we'll set off in half an hour!"

After defeating the last high-mobility orc force that could threaten Li Wei, Li Wei led his troops north across the Orin River and returned to the north bank of the Orin River. At the same time, he repeated his old tricks and made some noise on the north bank of the Orin River. Make a gesture of breaking out to the north.

But Levi had other plans.

Li Wei looked at the gurgling water of the Olin River shimmering under the clear night sky, and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

"Notify the troops that we will go down to the river, wade along the river and walk eastward. No one is allowed to go ashore in the middle!"

This is the last link for Levi to escape.

When troops march in the forest, they always leave traces and smells. The orcs can always catch up with Levi if they spend more time, but it is completely different when marching in the river. The flowing river water will wash away all the smells and traces. Leave the orcs with no recourse.

Secondly, the water level of the Orin River is not high, and the depth of the river water in most places is only knee-deep. Marching in such a small river is not too difficult for this group of warriors whose weakest are all second-level advanced warriors.

Moreover, when the army marched along the river at night, it could not only avoid the scouts of the orcs, but also ensure the safety of the march.

Without the cover of trees and following a fixed path, there was almost no possibility of the soldiers getting separated, and the large number of soldiers and horses tightly gathered together was enough to scare away the predators in the Evernight Forest.

It was still a bit cold at night in late spring, and my legs were a little stiff under the water of the Olin River.

But the soldiers had no complaints about Li Wei's decision. The Baron told them that the purpose of walking along the river at night was to completely get rid of tracking. After this hurdle, everyone could have a good rest after returning to Xiaoyunshan Village.

------------

"Who can tell me where the enemy went!? How come hundreds of cavalrymen of such a large scale disappeared into thin air without leaving any trace?

Can they fly or evade the ground? None of them spoke. Are they dumb? "

At this time, it had been three days since Li Wei quietly marched eastward from the Orin River.

At first, the orcs lost most of their highly mobile cavalry, so they only dared to guard the passes to prevent Li Wei from sneaking out.

When the follow-up orc pursuers gradually arrived, Hank believed that the manpower at hand was enough, so he began to have people search for Levi's whereabouts.

As a result, Hank's men searched for two days in a row, but found no results at all.

All the traces left by Levi's cavalry are from before, and there is no new trace.

Judging from the recent traces, Li Wei should be marching north, but Hank has sent people to search north of the Orin River, and still can't find Li Wei.

"Lord Legion Commander, we have made a new discovery!"

A herald suddenly broke into Hank's tent, which cheered him up.

"Have you found those damn rats?"

"Lord Legion Commander, we found traces left by the enemy in a section of the Orin River. It is initially determined that they were left three days ago, which is considered the latest trace.

The traces showed that the enemy should have launched the water from the north bank of that section of the river, but we found no trace of the enemy landing on the south bank. "

"There are no traces of landing on the south bank? Is it possible that the enemy has been submerged in the water?"

"Lord Legion Commander, this is indeed possible." The herald replied bravely.

"Humph, how could-" In an instant, Hank suddenly realized that the target should have left along the river, so no matter what the orcs did later, they could not find any trace of Levi.

"Cunning rat!" Hank's roar echoed throughout the camp again.
