MTL - Bloodline Lord of War-Chapter 186 bigger failure
Chapter 186 An even bigger failure
Robin and his coalition team traveled on the wasteland for another day, and finally at noon on the second day, they arrived at the Blood Clan Fortress.
According to what Baron Lauren said before, Earl Goode will lead the main force of the coalition forces to organize a second line of defense in the blood fortress to prevent the blood army from counterattacking. However, when Robin and the others arrived here, they did not see the shadow of the coalition forces.
Robin and Lauren squatted on a slightly raised high ground. The two of them poked their heads out of the half-person tall weeds and looked towards the south. Two hundred meters away, the blood fortress was standing quietly on a flat ground, and the blood duke's flag was flying on the wall of the fortress.
This flag is based on black, with a white fang that drips blood painted on it. The flag is composed of red, black, and white, which looks very intuitive and oppressive.
The Blood Duke's flag is flying on the blood fortress, which means that this fortress has been taken back by the blood army.
Around the Blood Clan Fortress, the Wilderness Alliance Army and the Blood Clan Army obviously had a fierce battle, and the scale of the battle was not small.
The entire battlefield is centered on the Blood Clan Fortress. The grass around the fortress is full of corpses of human soldiers, discarded spears and armor, dead horses, noble flags planted on the ground, smashed ballista, countless broken The blood of the soldiers dyed the entire battlefield dark red.
There are also corpses of blood race natives on the battlefield, but the number is very small. Robin glanced at the battlefield he could see. The ratio of human corpses to blood race corpses is about ten to one!
The battle loss ratio is frighteningly high. Obviously, the second line of defense mentioned by Earl Goode also failed to stop the attack of the blood army, and the human coalition suffered a second major defeat here.
Robin and Lauren failed to catch up with this battle. When they came here, the Wilderness Alliance Army had already retreated again, and the army of the Blood Race continued to pursue south. They came a step late.
At the gate of the Blood Clan Fortress, about a hundred green skin goblins were carrying the human corpses on the battlefield. They uniformly moved the corpses to the open space in front of the gate of the fortress and piled them together. These human corpses piled up more and more, slowly forming a mountain of corpses nearly five meters high in front of the gate.
Countless corpses are crowded in this mountain of corpses, whether they are civilians or nobles, poor or rich. In the face of death, the levels that human beings have drawn themselves become meaningless.
Seeing the corpses of these human soldiers, Robin finally understood that the human corpses on the hobgoblin carriages were all transported from here.
Baron Lauren stood up slowly. He stared dumbfounded at the cruel battlefield in front of him, and his heart was instantly filled with severe pain. Originally, he was still full of hope for the next battle situation, and wanted to rush to the blood fortress as soon as possible, and work with Earl Goode to block the counterattack of the blood army, in an attempt to turn defeat into victory.
But when he really got here, he realized that there was no hope at all. The Wilderness Alliance was defeated again. They had already lost the war, and there was no possibility of a comeback.
To make matters worse, the blood army below will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue, and all the pioneering lords on the wasteland will face the blade of the blood army. Many territories will be captured and many people will die.
Baron Lauren's strong body was trembling slightly, he slowly clenched his fists, the pain of defeat immediately turned into raging anger, he wanted to burn everything in front of him to ashes.
Robin and Lauren have been observing this place for quite a while. It seems that the blood army didn't leave many soldiers guarding the fortress, and only saw a few sporadic gnolls patrolling on the city wall.
All the people in and out of the fortress were green-skinned goblins. This kind of cowardly and cowardly creature has no combat effectiveness. Although there are a large number of them, in the eyes of the coalition soldiers, they are just a group of walking minced meat.
Robin said to Lauren: "It is estimated that the blood army has dispatched all its troops to the front line to chase down the defeated coalition forces. They didn't know there was such a small team like ours, so they relaxed their vigilance and didn't stay much." Soldiers defend the fort."
"That's really great." Baron Lauren stared at the blood fortress in the distance with his eyes wide open, gritted his teeth and said fiercely. "I'm going to raze this damned fortress to the ground!"
"Do you want to fight?" Robin looked up at Lauren.
"Of course we want to fight!" After Lauren finished speaking, she turned angrily and walked down the high ground.
Robin felt that Lauren's decision to attack the blood fortress at this time was purely to vent his anger. However, there were almost no defenders in the fortress. It would not be difficult to take down the fort at this time. It can be regarded as annihilating a little bit of the strength of the blood army.
The blood race is the enemy, as long as it is not good for the enemy, Robin will definitely support it. Therefore, he did not dispute Baron Lauren's offensive decision.
Besides, these coalition soldiers are all soldiers of Baron Laurent. Robin believes that even if he disagrees, Baron Laurent will definitely fight himself.
The coalition soldiers were resting under the high ground. After Robin and Lauren came back, all the soldiers immediately stood up in unison.
Baron Lauren stood in front of a group of coalition soldiers, and first briefly talked about the current situation. When it came to the main force of the coalition army being defeated again, every soldier's face was instantly shrouded in haze.
"Lord Baron? Since the main force is no longer here, what shall we do?"
After a deathly silence, Abal stood among the soldiers and suddenly asked loudly.
Robin looked at him. This young guy was always positive, and the dark expression didn't stay on his face for too long. He immediately picked himself up and began to focus on the following things.
Baron Lauren's chest was burning with vengeance, and he immediately replied: "Let's burn this **** blood fortress first, and let those blood **** know that we humans are not easy to bully. Then, we continue south walk home!"
The phrase "go home" once again aroused the fighting spirit in the hearts of the soldiers, and the gloomy eyes of the soldiers of the coalition army lit up again. Now, they just think about going home.
Then, Baron Lauren shouted loudly: "All soldiers, take up your weapons, follow me, and attack the Blood Fortress!"
His resonant voice was like an invisible drumstick, beating the war drum in every soldier's heart.
Soldiers began to remove unnecessary salutes, check weapons and prepare for battle. At this time, Robin walked up to Lauren and suggested to him: "Let the scout cavalry go under the fort to test the water first, and find out the reality of the enemy."
Although Baron Lauren was full of anger, he hadn't been overwhelmed by the anger, and the person who proposed was Robin, whom he respected very much. He nodded immediately, and immediately called his cronies Hassell and Rubia.
A moment later, Hassel and Rubia each rode a war horse and rushed to the blood fortress in the distance.
The goblin, who was carrying the corpse outside the city gate, saw two human cavalry rushing towards him from a distance. They were immediately frightened out of their wits, dropped the corpse in their hands and ran towards the city gate. There are more than a hundred of these green-skinned goblins in naked clothes, but they are being chased by two human cavalry. The scene looks quite funny.
The goblins pushed each other while running for their lives. Some goblins fell to the ground and couldn't get up again, because the goblins behind would not give him a chance to get up, and countless pairs of big feet stepped on him.
Hassel and Rubia were skilled at riding, and the two quickly chased to the city gate, killing several goblins. Then, an alarm bell sounded on the wall of the blood fortress.
