Durin's Diary

Chapter 633 Division of Power
When dawn comes again, when the green-skinned orcs retreat like a tide, when there are no more living things in front of him that can't wait to pounce on him and kill him.

Lotta tremblingly took out the crumpled cigarette case from his pocket.

Before this week, Rota had never smoked because he felt that cigarettes were bad for the lungs and were the enemy of life.

But today, he just felt that it was no big deal to have such a one - everyone will die eventually, whether it is living to the age of ninety and paralyzed in bed unable to hold back feces, or dying one day from lung problems at the age of seventy, it sounds like living twenty years less, but there is no difference in terms of pain.

At least the latter does not have to feel the pain of the former's life.

Borrowing fire from the burning wood nearby, Lotta took a long drag on the cigarette.

At this time, a greenskin struggled to climb out of the pile of corpses.

Rota also stood up and pulled out his Python from his waist - a large-caliber revolver that used .50 long-cased large-caliber dumdum bullets.

Under the gaze of the bastards, he fired, but the huge recoil forced him to take a step back.

But the bullet blew open the greenskin's skull.

There was a cheer from the battlefield, and Rota raised the revolver in his hand with a silly smile.

………………

The casualties of Du Lin's new army in the local area last night were 79 wounded and 5 killed.

Among the five people who died, one rabbit caught a stray arrow with its head without a helmet; one rabbit was split in half by a flying axe in hand-to-hand combat; one rabbit was hit by a spear and died on the spot; and one rabbit died from a stray bullet from the opponent's gun.

The last one to die was a Tiger of the Tyger Tribe. Last night, the Tiger heavy infantrymen were at the front line with heavy two-handed automatic rifles. Many Tigers were injured by the various throwing weapons of the Green Orcs. He was the only one who died on the spot - the heavy javelin passed right through the observation slit of the integrated helmet.

In comparison, Dulin's new army performed extremely well - when the positions on both the left and right wings were breached, Dulin's new army even had enough strength to expand the defense line and regain the lost positions.

More than two hundred people died for this, and the Tallhoof lost more than sixty people. The rest were all Halflings and Toby Rabbits - almost all of them were lost in the face-to-face trench battle.

No matter how many automatic guns there are, they cannot completely eliminate the lethality of the heavy spears and throwing axes thrown by the green-skinned orcs.

But such a record is already very terrifying. Other troops even lost entire defense areas, and even the entire regiment shed blood for this.

However, Dulin's new army still withstood everything and firmly held the defense line. They did not hand over the defense zone until reinforcements arrived after dawn.

It is said that Duke Alessandro and Duke Russell of Savoy were furious with the outstanding performance of the Turin New Army. Last night, four regimental commanders, a number of company commanders and hundreds of big bosses who escaped from the defense line near the Turin New Army were all killed and executed for treason.

Ever since the Great Wasteland, commanders of various nations who fled from battles with green-skinned orcs could be executed for treason by their superiors, but the two dukes were the first to convict them on such a large scale. The two severely wounded regimental commanders and their soldiers, who were carried by their subordinates to retreat, were spared thanks to Lieutenant Colonel Willy's plea—a simple refrain: even if they had no merit, they had worked hard, and heroes shouldn't be left to shed tears and blood.

This greatly increased the favorability of the commanders of the reinforcements coming from all over the place.

Yes, the regimental commander led the troops and was seriously injured and unconscious. The soldiers lost their backbone and the defense line was shaky. It was the company commander who ordered them to carry the regimental commander and retreat. In any case, they were not deserters.

Because of his outspokenness, Lieutenant Colonel Willy received unanimous recognition from the heads of various countries. It is said that even the head of the regiment, Sharon, is ready to give him a formal invitation.

And I heard that two more groups will arrive in two days.

As for Lieutenant Colonel Willy's defense system, it had been put to the greatest test overnight. No one had expected that the defense line built by this grassland elf could bring about such a large exchange ratio. From the subsequent analysis, Lieutenant Colonel Willy's defense system was completely built against the green-skinned orcs. Those large low-lying areas trapped thousands of green-skinned orcs. In the end, those green-skinned orcs were even unwilling to enter the depressions. They would rather die in the hail of bullets than enter the depressions to take shelter.

Why else? Of course, he's scared of the explosion.

As long as more greenskins take shelter in the depression, shells will fall, wiping out thousands of greenskins from the world.

Last night, there were nearly 14,000 bodies of green-skinned orcs that died in front of the position. In this case, the fart spirits cannot be considered human beings at all, because more of them died - some were trampled to death, some were squeezed to death, and even more could not be put together.

Observers unanimously stated that there were as many as six thousand or more greenskin Orks whose bodies could not be found due to the bombardment.

Faced with the giant 240mm mortar, the military judges had to agree with the observers' assessment of their military achievements - otherwise, someone would definitely challenge them, saying that if they didn't believe in the power of the artillery, they could try it themselves.

How can this be tried? Everyone in the Western Continent knows that the Durin family's artillery is powerful and can fly bricks. Back then, a single shot destroyed dozens of miles of land outside the Austrian city. The military judge is just a mortal, so he really wouldn't think of such a big deal.

Therefore, how to rank Lieutenant Colonel Willy and his troops according to seniority became a difficult problem. Fortunately, Lord Durin did not need to do so. As the Protector of Austria and Switzerland and the Grand Duke of Lublin, he was bound to become a future elder of the Circle of Truth. There was no need for the dukes to rack their brains to create a general for him.

In the end, the Church of the Original Creator stepped forward and did not promote him, but instead gave him the title of Guardian of the Western Land.

This made everyone feel relieved - if it weren't for Lieutenant Colonel Willy's great military achievements, which would not be enough to convince the public, it would not be the turn of the dukes to worry about such things. Now that the anonymous master has stepped forward, they naturally don't have to cause themselves any more trouble.

Because of his achievements in recent days, Rota received an unprecedented promotion - His Highness Zaigu got him a position as lieutenant colonel from the military as a reward for his achievement of killing at least twenty enemies in two night battles.

Rota himself calculated that the number of targets hit was fifty-five, but considering the fact that the greenskins would not die after being hit by one or two ten-millimeter bullets, twenty kills was already a great honor to the Wanta family behind Rota.

By the way, Major Rovsky was also promoted to lieutenant colonel - he had been fighting on the front lines in the battle to recapture the defense lines on both sides that night. Now the whole Great Forest Defense Zone is rumored to be a believer in the Red God of War. He is so tough that no one would be surprised if one day he shouted "blood sacrifice to the Blood God, skull sacrifice to the Skull Throne", and then was promoted to a messenger of God on the spot.
