Chapter 102 Retreat (Joint Chapter)
An unprecedented scorching light shone on the hobgoblin, which greatly stimulated Tang Zhao in the darkness. He had to close his eyes, and continued to bite forward without losing momentum.

The body fell to the ground, biting the air, Tang Zhao did not give up, turned around and swung his tail, hoping that his several-meter-long tail would touch the hobgoblin, so that he could further lock on the target and attack.

I don't know if it was pure misfortune or if the hobgoblin had a backhand, and his tail swept away. To be on the safe side, Tang Zhao didn't launch a further attack, but took two steps back, alert to the possible attack of the hobgoblin.

The expected swords and crossbows did not strike, and when Tang Zhao's eyesight recovered from the glare, the hobgoblin commander did not launch an attack, but he did not run away either. He just stood there silently, watching quietly. With the Tang Dynasty.

[We don't need to fight, because there are consistent interests. 】

He continued to try to talk to Tang Zhao with psychic energy, his tone was gentle, it seemed that he really wanted to have a good talk.

[You broke into my home and compressed the living space of our woodland residents, but now you turn around and say nonsense about no threat and common interests, don't you think it's a little ridiculous? 】

Judging from the howling of wolves just now, Tang Zhao's heartfelt reinforcements have arrived at the outskirts of the valley, and it stands to reason that they will arrive at his side soon, so it will not be harmful to Tang Zhao if it drags on. If you can't take down this hobgoblin, you might as well listen to what he has to say.

Of course, don't expect him to have any good words for the hobgoblin. He lived well in the forest. The hobgoblin brought a bunch of servants and vassals to fight. Because the residents in this forest are strong enough, they can barely withstand it. For other weaker forests, they will have to be driven away by them, or even wiped out.

Tang Zhao possessed a manner of etiquette, but that was only for friends and those worthy of respect. Generally speaking, his attitude towards enemies was very simple and rude—emphasizing that you die and I die.

Seeing Tang Zhao's psychic recovery, although he spoke angrily, the hobgoblin commander couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately put on a relaxed expression.

[You definitely don't like to hear nonsense like apologies, let me put it this way, I think we can cooperate.You want the forest to be safe, and I want the elite of the Greenspear clan to suffer heavy casualties here. Maybe we all have other demands, but that's all for later. Are you interested in what I've mentioned so far? 】

Tang Zhao took a rather unexpected glance at the five big and three thick hobgoblins in front of him—the hobgoblins and their gods, the goblin-like god Magnubia, did not reject infighting, on the contrary, they also expressed their support for the parts that boasted of force and demonstrated the art of war. Appreciate the attitude, but these things are completely different when foreigners are involved.

The "ambitious usurper" will even be sought after and respected by some people in the hobgoblin society, but once the label of "collusion with foreigners" is added, it will be a situation beyond redemption for the hobgoblin himself.

[I can only say that you are playing with fire, leaving too many loopholes, you should know better than me what kind of race hobgoblins are. 】

[Don't talk so much useless words, I'm asking you if you want to cooperate with me, you just agree with me.This is my advance deposit, which is already very sincere, please consider it carefully.I will visit later when necessary, hoping that the Woodlanders will not turn me away. 】

After saying this, the hobgoblin pulled out a scroll from his waist. The ends of the scroll were wrapped with some kind of precious metal. With strength from his upper body, he threw the scroll in front of Tang Zhao, then turned around and left without looking back. , in his words, Tang Zhao will definitely agree in the end, there is no need to waste time thinking about it.

It must be a lie to say that Tang Zhao has no interest in the hobgoblin commander's suggestion. After a battle between heaven and man in his heart, Tang Zhao still did not continue to attack, but watched the other party leave quickly, which is considered to have agreed to the other party's cooperation invite.

He believes that the other party must have a backup, and now he may not be able to keep the other party if he makes a move. Maybe this magical hobgoblin can bring him some surprises. He is not a dwarf who has a blood feud with the hobgoblin, and it is not impossible to cooperate properly. accept things.

Taking a step back, his mission is to contain rather than wipe out completely, and now it has been successfully completed, and it is harmless to let go of a few hobgoblins.

Tang Zhao didn't run out to chase those hobgoblins and their wargs, but walked out of the cave silently, resting on the spot to recover his strength.

He is seriously injured now, his whole body is covered with wounds caused by swords, dozens of arrows are embedded in his flesh and blood, his eye was shot by a dart, he may be blind in one eye, and his whole body is bleeding everywhere , it is almost impossible to find a good piece of meat.

There is also this consideration in reaching an agreement with the other party. In his current state, in fact, he may not be able to eat the heavily armed hobgoblin commander. Even if he can kill the other party in the end, he will have to lose half of his life.

After resting on the ground for about 10 minutes, Tang Zhao finally waited for the long-awaited reinforcements, and returned to the camp with the help of the centaur and bear man, and went there to treat the wound.
-
After the joint treatment by the unicorn Lorraine and several druids, Tang Zhao managed to save his life. It should be said that he was quite lucky.A creature with weak physique and poor defense would have died long ago.

Even so, he still lost one eye, which seriously affected his life and battle. He had to wait for Tang Zhao to recover when he next evolved, or seek treatment from a priest and mage who knew high-level magic. Judging from the current situation, The former is still a little more reliable. After fighting for half a month, he can almost evolve.

When fighting, the stimulation provided by adrenaline overwhelmed the pain and fear. Now that he relaxes, Tang Zhao feels uncomfortable everywhere. Rest in peace with the other wounded.

He was thrown out as a bait and a smoke bomb. In the past, Tang Zhao was used as a sharp knife for attack and appeared in places where the battle was the most intense. Therefore, as soon as the commander-in-chief of the hobgoblin found the trace of Tang Zhao, he would use his troops to attack him. Lean over there to guard against Lorraine's key attack, and at the same time send an elite team to hunt and kill Tang Zhao directly.

Lorraine saw through this point and took advantage of it. He did the opposite, using the powerful Tang Zhao as a smoke bomb, and personally led people to attack the weak phalanx of the hobgoblins. The result was correct, and the plan was a great success.

Three of the hobgoblin's phalanx were breached, and they suffered 700 casualties and suffered heavy losses. It can be said that they lost the ability to fight in the woods with Tang Zhao and others, so they could only hide in the camp, waiting for reinforcements and supplies .

The losses on Lorraine and Tang Zhao's side were not small. Even Lorraine's horse was injured and his calf was pierced by a crossbow arrow. They did not have the ability to storm the hobgoblin camp, so they could only continue to harass and attack their logistics.

Under the increasingly powerful offensive of the woodland residents, the road construction project of the Greenspear clan was completely suspended. It can be said that their purpose of sending troops this time was a complete failure, thanks to the map provided by the hobgoblin commander.

What the hobgoblin had thrown him was the Greenspear Clan's duty patrol schedule and detailed maps, with which it would be easy to target those hobgoblins.

As a result, the Greenspear clan was hit even harder, from supplies to soldiers to morale.

Although Tang Zhao was temporarily unable to participate in the next battle because of his heavy injuries, the situation was clear at this time. The Green Spear clan could not settle down in the forest, nor could they defeat the forest residents, so their withdrawal was only a matter of time The question is just how many more casualties they can bear.

At the same time, the siege battle on the dwarves' side had already begun, and thousands of heavily armored dwarf warriors were exchanging views intensely with the goblins.

The dwarf wrote back that the battle was very fierce, both sides suffered heavy losses, and they did not know if they could win, but they would definitely last for a long time.

A siege is not like a field battle. The winner can be determined in a few days or even an afternoon. It often lasts for several months, and there are even strange situations where the siege continues intermittently for several years.

Tang Zhao can only protect himself now, and they may not be able to block the punitive attacks of the blood fist goblins. Before the Green Spear clan is completely defeated, everything depends on the dwarves themselves.

Another half month passed in an orderly manner, and the Greenspear clan finally couldn't bear such a meaningless loss, and chose to withdraw their troops in desperation.

The number of people taken away was less than half of what it was when they came, which was decent for the defeated army, but undoubtedly they still suffered heavy losses. Until the next summer, before the spring plowing was completed, they would not even think about gathering more troops to attack.

The Greenspear clan suffered several ambushes and guerrilla attacks during their retreat, which exacerbated their losses, but they had no choice but to grit their teeth and hold on.

It was obviously revenge. Before leaving, the Green Spear clan set fire to the entire camp and the remaining supplies that could not be taken away, which made Tang Zhao very angry.

But anyway, the war was won by them, and it was finally over.

Tang Zhao, who was blind in one eye, couldn't do other things well during this time, so he could only shrink in the camp every day, cooking like revenge.

After these days, he is almost able to evolve, but the time required for evolution is too long, he dare not leave for a month or two at this time, he can only wait until the matter is resolved before evolving, now he can make some preparations Work.

After the battle situation stabilized, the road between Lorraine and Tangzhao's settlement was basically safe. Because of this, Lorraine also arranged a very good job for Tangzhao - to receive some elf refugees.

The settlement of elves is to the west of the mainland, not too far from the settlement of Lorraine. They are still fighting hobgoblins, and many elves are displaced.

The relationship between the elves and Lorraine is very good, and there will naturally be elves coming to take refuge.

As for why not go to Lorraine's own side, it's also very simple-it's too close to the hobgoblins and it's not safe.

Hobgoblins and elves are feuds, and hobgoblin officers will even make many tactical and strategic mistakes in order to attack elves.

If the Bloodfist hobgoblin finds out that there are a lot of elves here in Lorraine, then Bloodfist will probably send someone over.
