The battlefield is always full of surprises.
Arthur did not expect that the person who saved him at the critical moment would be an unrelated dwarf.
Arthur didn't even think that the reason why the dwarf beat Philonio to death with a hammer seemed to be because the orcs didn't give him good wine.
Yes, with just one hammer, Philonio was beaten until his sternum collapsed, blood spurted from his mouth and nose, and he could not survive until he saw it.
Once Philonio died, the orcs in the canyon became leaderless. They were chased by human soldiers and fled in all directions. Some even hid in the mines in a panic.
"Jose, Buck, stop chasing, take the people out immediately!" Arthur ordered to retreat.
The nearest orc tribe is less than twenty miles away from here. After receiving the information of the attack in the canyon, the orc cavalry will arrive here soon, and there will be no time to waste on these scattered orcs.
Arthur ordered the 7th Squadron to assemble again quickly. On the contrary, the human soldiers were still immersed in the pursuit of the orcs. Under the loud shouts of Silas, Buck and other leaders, they gradually began to assemble in the middle of the canyon.
Silas and Buck only now discovered that there was no battalion of human cavalry that rushed in? Dozens of their cavalry dared to attack a canyon heavily guarded by orcs. Where did these guys come from?
Arthur had no time to explain to them, or even to care about the soldiers who continued to hunt the orcs despite his orders.
Arthur jumped directly onto a silver-horned stag, stood on the stag's back and shouted to the people below, "Everyone must follow my people and evacuate the canyon immediately! Don't forget that this is the orc wasteland, escape from the canyon Going does not mean you are completely free. The orc cavalry will catch up soon. You must obey orders if you want to survive. "
Not allowing any objection from the soldiers below, the soldiers of the 7th Squadron took the lead in evacuating out of the canyon. Silas, Buck and others had to immediately lead people to follow.
Arthur was the last one to evacuate. Naturally, he did not let go of the largest warehouse of wealth, the Mother Stone, in the canyon. He then set fire to all the wooden houses in the canyon, and even accidentally cut off Felony, who was still breathing his last breath. AO's head and took away his sword.
When I finally left, I accidentally found the dwarf Truck sitting dejectedly on a stone outside the door of Philip.
Arthur bowed slightly to the dwarf on the stag, "Thank you for saving me just now. Are you going to stay or leave?"
"You've burned down all the damn wooden houses here, where will my old man live?" the dwarf cursed angrily.
"If you don't plan to stay and have nowhere else to go, why don't you come with us?" Arthur sincerely invited.
Not to mention that every dwarf is a master of forging, just by the hammer of the dwarf just now, it is a powerful fighting force if you keep it by your side. What Arthur lacks most now is a powerful partner.
The dwarf rolled his eyes at Arthur, "What's the benefit of going with you?"
"Follow us, and you will be free to come and go. No one will restrain you. The most important thing is to have enough wine!" Arthur said, taking out a bottle of wine from his bracelet and throwing it at the dwarf.
The dwarf Telugu only took a sip before he began to curse, "That bastard Silas lied to me. His wine was not stolen from the dead lion at all. You gave him his wine, right?"
Arthur didn't want to get entangled with the dwarves on this issue, so he smiled and invited again: "Come with us, we plan to loot all the good wine from all the orc tribes!"
The dwarf tilted his head and thought for a moment, "I have a condition for following you. I want one-third of the Mother Stone in your bracelet, and I will be the first to pick out the wine and ores from the orcs in the future."
"Okay!" Arthur agreed without hesitation.
"Let's go!" The dwarf jumped up and jumped directly onto the back of the stag behind Arthur.
The dwarf may not be very heavy, but the weight of the hammer he carried on his shoulder was unknown. It almost knocked the silver-horned stag down, and the stag neighed in dissatisfaction.
"Run, you beast!" The dwarf slapped the silver-horned stag on the butt hard with the handle of the hammer. The stag felt the pain and galloped towards the mouth of the valley with the two men loosened.
It was already a day later when Arthur met Silas and others again.
In order to prevent the orc cavalry from catching up, the 7th Squadron had already arranged a retreat.
Not long after running out of the canyon, the team split into two groups. The monkey led two soldiers and took the escaped soldiers up a nearby hill from a path. Arthur and the 7th Squadron deliberately waited slowly for the orc cavalry to catch up, and then ran wildly, leading the orc cavalry in a large circle before getting rid of them.
When Arthur brought the people back, the escaped human soldiers were lying or sitting on the grass in groups of three or five. Except for Buck, Silas and some others who came up to greet them, most of the others were indifferent.
The atmosphere at the scene was a little weird.
Arthur first looked at the monkey who came up with him, "What's going on?"
Monkey pouted at Silas and the others angrily, "Can you ask them? These officers have been questioning me for a day."
Silas smiled sarcastically and took the initiative to take over the conversation, "Brother Monkey spoke angrily. We just asked him about his next plan. How can we people go back?"
"Lieutenant Arthur, you came back just in time. Didn't you say before that you had a battalion of troops? Where are the others except you? Where is your battalion commander?" A thin, dark man next to Silas suddenly After taking the conversation, he asked Arthur several questions in succession.
The man raised his chin, and his questioning tone was a little arrogant, like a superior asking a subordinate.
Arthur had seen this man and knew that he, like Silas, was one of the people who served the orcs in the canyon.
"Who is this?"
"This is the son of Earl Durham, Commander Joyce." Silas introduced at the side.
Arthur nodded, but his expression did not change at all. He said calmly: "I lied before. Only one of our squadrons broke through the orc defense line."
"Then what are you going to do next to take us back?"
"Frankly speaking, I have no way of sending you back for the time being. Our previous troops have retreated to the former military city. The original human area is now full of orc troops, and it is almost impossible to join the Snow Wind Legion. Our plan is to wait for the orcs If you are defeated, you will find a chance to go back when they retreat."
"No, your plan is too risky!" Joyce flatly refused. "This is the orc wasteland. We are in danger at any time. We must return to the human border area as soon as possible."
Arthur turned slightly and said, "As you wish, you can take people away now."
Joyce was stunned, not expecting Arthur to be so straightforward.
Joyce immediately waved to the team, "Everyone, listen to my order and gather together. I will take you home."
Joyce shouted three times in a row. Only Silas and a dozen other people stood behind him, while the other soldiers remained motionless in place.
"Someone finally jumped out!" Arthur looked at him with a sneer...
