Chapter 175 The End of the Road

Relying on the super alchemical bomb, the city wall collapsed.

Zakli led the soldiers of the Northern Legion and easily rushed into the Graveson Castle.

Without the protection of the city defense fortifications and the attack of the alchemical bomb, the orcs in the castle were blown up instantly.

Seeing this scene, Derensi seemed to have returned to the rainy night more than three months ago.

At this moment, the orc commander knew that the situation was irreversible and the orc army he commanded had only one way to defeat.

Derensi was a ninth-level orc, not very old, and had the potential to impact the legend.

He was also a big figure in the Orc Empire.

Orc high-level people like him naturally did not want to die with ordinary soldiers.

After discussing with Gunderson, Derensi decided to let the senior orc officers each bring a part of the elite soldiers to break out separately.

Derensi was a ninth-level warrior with very strong combat effectiveness, and the guards he brought were also elite orcs.

Dozens of orc professionals attacked fiercely, and actually broke through the siege and fled into the depths of the forest.

Gunderson was not so lucky, and was surrounded by William and the third brigade.

Although Gunderson's combat power was much stronger than William, in such a large-scale battlefield, a ninth-level werewolf could not determine the outcome at all.

Besieged by superior forces, Gunderson was soon injured and his head was cut off by William.

A ninth-level professional is worth a great merit and can be exchanged for a baron's territory.

This merit, plus the merits accumulated by William in this war, is not far from being promoted to viscount.

However, this time William is not going to be awarded a second title. He is going to use merits to exchange for breathing methods.

William's Holy Light Breathing Method is still missing two layers to be complete. The last two layers of breathing methods are very valuable. If you want to exchange and copy them, you need to consume eight great merits.

Getting Gunderson's head is enough to exchange for breathing methods.

William was an ambitious officer. Although he was not born in a high position, he had a soul that was unwilling to be inferior to others. He not only wanted to become a noble, but also to strive for a legendary professional.

In this battle, Zakli won a great victory here, annihilating 15,000 orc soldiers, with only 3,000 casualties.

There were only about 2,000 orcs who broke out of Graveson Castle.

It was two days later that Richard received the news that the orc army had been annihilated.

More than four months after the outbreak of the war, the military merits of the Harland Territory were also issued. In the first battle, Richard captured the orc station and defeated the orc brigade, and he got eight medium merits. He annihilated the Maruland tribe and got four great merits and six medium merits.

It is difficult to deduct the military merits of heads, but the merits of winning battles were deducted by the king.

According to common sense, Richard annihilated four orc brigades successively, and should have received four great merits, but more than half of them were deducted, leaving only one and a half great merits.

The merits of Richard, the commander, were deducted, and the merits of his officers and soldiers were also deducted.

The significance of Richard's victory was almost reduced by more than half.

The nobles of Black River County knew why Richard's merits were deducted.

Richard had offended the interest group behind Jerram in the past, and now he was retaliated by them.

The Harland family had no connections in the capital, so they would naturally suffer in the process of merit evaluation. Richard also considered this and knew it very well.

It's a pity that the noble coalition of Black River County did not dare to blame the capital because of the losses they suffered. Instead, they had some estrangement with Richard and were unwilling to obey his command.

Under the connection of Baron Rice, they secretly wrote to Zakley and asked to fight under Viscount Romen.

In the past few battles, Richard was very good to the noble coalition of Black River County.

Although Richard got the bulk of the spoils, he never cheated them.

They never suffered any losses in every battle, but were able to seize a lot of property.

Unexpectedly, these nobles left Richard and defected to Viscount Roman.

Among these nobles, there is also Richard's uncle Baron Dark.

Although Richard's mother and Baron Dark are not from the same mother, their relationship is relatively distant.

But because of this relationship, Richard still takes care of Baron Dark.

Unexpectedly, he has no feelings at all. On the contrary, Baron Sharp, because he is the first generation of barons, has a strong military style. Grateful for Richard's help in defending his territory, he is still willing to fight under Richard.

Last time, Richard had accumulated six major merits and nine medium merits in suppressing the rebellion.

Adding the five major merits and four medium merits he made this time, the merits for obtaining the new territory are enough.

This time, he was targeted by the interest group behind Prince Felix, and Richard kept it in mind. When he has the opportunity, he will naturally retaliate fiercely.

Now that he is not strong enough, he can only follow Duke Roger and clearly support Prince Chris.

Richard was in the military camp when he suddenly received the news that the scouts were missing. He immediately felt something was wrong and notified Soros to assemble the cavalry.

Richard sent out scouts, a total of 48 people, 24 groups.

There were six groups in each direction, each responsible for a 5-kilometer reconnaissance mission.

The scouts returned to the camp every two hours and transmitted intelligence once, with a reconnaissance range of 30 kilometers.

Now two and a half hours have passed, and there is still no news from the scouts from the east. They must have encountered an accident.

Although Commander Zakli annihilated the orc army, there are still many fish that have escaped the net. The biggest fish is the orc commander Derensi.

Suddenly thinking of this person, Richard decided to take a gamble.

Hearing Richard gathering the cavalry, Sophia immediately guessed his idea and must follow Richard to participate in this mission.

After the Warcraft Cavalry assembled, Richard and Sophia, together with the Warcraft Cavalry, immediately rushed to the place where the scout disappeared, repeatedly looking for clues, dragging a net to search, and soon found the body of the missing scout in the cave.

Following the traces left by the enemy, the Warcraft Cavalry tracked all the way and soon found the murderer.

The murderer was indeed the ninth-level lion man Derensi.

At this time, Derensi was at the end of his rope.

At this moment, there were only eleven orc guards left by Derensi. These eleven orc guards were all werewolves and lionmen, and one of them was fourth-level.

The guards were not in a very good state, more or less injured. They had not eaten for two days, and their physical strength was only about half left.

Although a big man like Derensi successfully broke through, he was chased by the Northern Legion.

After finally getting rid of the pursuers, he was less than 20 kilometers away from the orc army, but accidentally leaked his tracks. After killing the scout, Derenci knew that the news would be leaked, so he immediately took the opportunity to escape, but he was still caught up by the Warcraft Cavalry.

When Richard saw Derenci, his eyes lit up immediately, as if he had seen a precious treasure.
