Chapter 84 Black Skull in Action
Since the setback at the front, many gaps were opened up by a large number of wild orcs at the front of Remas. From these gaps, many wild orcs penetrated deep into the interior. The compressed defense line kept retreating.
The area that had entered two-thirds of Remas was constantly compressed, and finally returned to one-third, and it was still retreating. There were too many wild orcs in front.
And because the wild orcs continued to increase and move south, the soldiers continued to die. The nobles who followed saw that there was no benefit and did not want their men to die, so they began to delay and stopped sending soldiers to the front. In this way, the battle on the front line became more and more difficult.
"Hurry up, this way, this way, all go this way." A big man shouted loudly.
Not far behind him, a large group of people were gathering together to form a very large team.
These people were refugees who hid after the massacre of Remas before. Because they hid well, they had never been discovered by the wild orcs. They didn't come out until they conquered the territory of Remas.
As a result, in just a few days, the human army suffered a serious setback again, causing a large number of wild orcs to return here again. So these refugees had nowhere to hide and could only run around.
At this time, many refugees followed the large army to evacuate in the direction of Blackstone Fortress. With so many people, even the nobles could not abandon them. After all, civilians are also a kind of wealth.
There is also a part that has no time to evacuate, so they can only find a hiding place nearby.
If Chi Nan was here, he would definitely recognize that this guy dressed in coarse linen clothes like an ordinary mercenary is the notorious leader of the Black Skull Bandit Group, also known as the Black Skull.
There are some people around him, who are their younger brothers. At this time, the total number of people in the group has reached more than 2,000.
There are mainly refugees here. These refugees have a pale face and look malnourished.
"Boss, why do you have to find so many refugees? It's also a hassle to bring so many refugees." Black Skull's men whispered to Black Skull.
At this time, the leader of the small bandit group had disappeared because he always opposed the Black Skull and was killed by the Black Skull. The remaining people under his command were completely integrated into the Black Skull Bandit Group.
"Hmph, how can Hongshaling be in chaos without more people? With so many people, they have to make arrangements, and they have to solve the food and drink problems and other problems. Tell me, how can they have the mind to do other things."
"Besides, more people can attract more wild orcs, otherwise how can we attack Hongshaling."
"But boss, with so many wild orcs, Hongshaling will be completely destroyed. How can we get rid of them?" Hongshaling can't deal with so many wild orcs, aren't they the same?
Black Skull snorted coldly: "Red Sand Ridge has been making too much moves these days. The number of their soldiers has reached 300. How can we defeat them without more wild orcs? Besides, even if Red Sand Ridge is destroyed, what can we do? There is nothing there. After eating, the wild orcs will definitely leave. Then we can just capture some people and go in."
"Brilliant, the boss is really brilliant."
Ignoring this flattering guy, Black Skull waved his hand and led the refugee team to the road of Red Sand Ridge. It doesn't matter if this road is difficult to walk on. The refugees don't have time to care about these things now.
"You can see that, that's the road to Red Sand Ridge. To be honest, Red Sand Ridge has its own walls and army, and there are no wild orcs going there to make trouble. You can reach Red Sand Ridge by following this road."
"Sir, what will you do if we go to Red Sand Ridge? Why don't we go together?"
Black Skull cursed in his heart, why would he go there, looking for death. On the surface, Black Skull tried to put on a smiling expression: "No, we still have to save more people. There are still many people like you waiting for our rescue. You go in first, remember to take care of yourself."
"Your Excellency is really a good person, but you have to be careful yourself." The refugees were moved.
Black Skull strongly resisted the desire to curse. Good person? What kind of good person is he? Saying that he is a bandit is a good person is more like cursing himself.
"Okay, you go quickly. This road is not easy to walk, you should be careful, don't fall to death."
"Don't worry, your Excellency, we all know that the road to Hongshaling is difficult to walk. It's good now, at least it's difficult for the wild orcs to attack Hongshaling. Your Excellency, you have to hurry up, and retreat quickly if it doesn't work."
After saying that, the refugees lined up in a snake-like formation and quickened their pace towards the defense line of Hongshaling.
Seeing that these people had left, Black Skull led the others into the forest and soon disappeared. "How is it going? How many wild orcs have been attracted?"
"Boss, it seems there are at least 300 of them, but I don't know if there are more. And this road is not easy to walk on. It's not easy for the wild orcs who came in to get out. They can only fight their way in."
The black skeleton showed a sinister smile: "Okay, okay, that's good. Three hundred wild orcs, I want to see who is stronger, the three hundred wild orcs or the three hundred soldiers."
"Boss, it's not 300 soldiers, it's 200. We just got the news that the lord of Hongshaling actually ran into the Death Forest and took 100 soldiers with him."
"Very good, you dare to enter the Death Forest, then die in it. You dare to split your troops at such an important moment, you really don't know how to live or die. But it's good this way, Hongshaling will soon be ours." Black Skull was a little worried. There were fewer soldiers and the lord was gone. Once there were more surviving wild beasts, he would have no way out.
Do I really have to wait until Hongshaling is completely destroyed and nothing is left before I can enter. If it becomes like this, it will be difficult for my bandit group to develop well.
Forget it, no matter what, anyway, things have come to this point, and I have no good way, so I can only continue to go this way.
"Let's go, leave here, if we are discovered by the wild beasts, it will not be easy for us to escape with the help of the forest." The wild beasts are so persistent in their pursuit of food that all the obstacles in front of them will be smashed.
Black Skull led a group of people and quietly went deep into the jungle to one of their secret bases.
