Plane Overlord of Rebirth

Chapter 697
Obviously, for the so-called Ninth Army under Lin Ao, avoiding fighting is a must.But if you want to run away, it is also necessary to keep people behind.

However, here comes the question: Who will break the post?

No matter who breaks the queen, stays to face so many orcs, and even the very, very mobile wolf cavalry among the opponents, there is only one dead end!
Fortunately, the soldiers said that although it was a bit cruel, after all, it was the duty of soldiers to obey orders.If there is a commander who can convince the crowd enough, these soldiers who have undergone strict training will still obey orders and persist in fighting.

However, it is difficult to determine the candidate for the commander-in-chief.This is obviously a battle to the death, who can easily voluntarily follow it?

Lin Ao looked around for a week, and all the generals and officers beside him did not dare to look at him, and turned their gazes away one by one.Lin Ao sighed slightly in his heart. Except for Hilton and Gerald who had been with him from the past and came from Nolan's Eagle, the others were just officers in the armies of various countries.Although after so many days of living and dying together, the entire army has initially gained cohesion and can be regarded as a whole.But after all, the composition and structure of the entire team can't be considered very stable, and there may be no problems in normal combat, but in this kind of decision that requires a strong man to cut his wrist, who will be the one who's cut off? wrist', that is a headache.

This must be a voluntary act, otherwise what's the point of staying and running away in the end?From the looks of it, it seemed impossible for the military officers from other countries to expect them to retain their resources.Originally, what Lin Ao hoped most was that someone could jump out and be the scapegoat. After all, he didn't want his real direct lineage to be lost. After all, he also had selfish intentions.But looking at the current situation, this is impossible.

Because of this, Lin Ao's eyes could only stay on Gerrard in the end.

Gerrard has worked with Lin Ao for so long, of course he understands the meaning in this look.Even though he had just retreated from a fierce battle and the blood stains all over his body hadn't had time to wash off, in the end, he still nodded and said, "Leave this final task to me!",

Hearing what he said, except for Lin Ao and his old subordinates in Nolan's Eagle, who looked sad, everyone around seemed relieved.

With the idea of ​​death and no life, Gerrard was ready to stay and die.For this reason, Lin Ao also pointed out more than 500 troops, about the size of two brigades, and handed them over to him to command.And the order he received was that he must resist the enemy's attack for more than three hours.

With a strength of just over 500 soldiers, resisting an orc army ten times as large as one's own for three hours is almost an impossible task.Frontal interception is definitely impossible. If you set up a formation to fight against others, more than 500 people may not be able to survive for three to ten minutes, let alone three hours.

The huge gap in strength meant that Gerrard had to choose some special methods.

Lin Ao had already left with a large force, while the remaining Gerald began to have a headache, what method should he use to complete the interception task assigned.But at this moment, he was surprised to see Chen Ning and No. [-] squatting in a corner of the army, mumbling something together.

This time, Gerald was a little surprised.He stepped forward and asked, "Why are you two still here?"

"Aren't you still staying here?" Chen Ning said, "We were comrades fighting side by side just now, and now, the two of us will not leave you alone."

"This..." Gerald didn't know what to say, and felt a little stuck in his heart, "Thank you so much, but if you stay, it may be a dead end. The chance of us surviving is not high. There is still a chance, so hurry up and go. It is enough to have me here, you don’t need to stay together..."

"Hi." No. [-] stood up carelessly, walked to Gerrard's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "What do you mean you can't die? None of us are afraid of death, we can't leave our teammates alone! Besides, it’s not certain whether you will die or not! You, don’t worry about your mother-in-law, hurry up and prepare for our next strategy. We want to stop those orcs for three hours. If you don’t want to do something, there is no way to do it easily. arrive."

Number Seven had already said that, and Gerald had nothing to say.He could only thump Number Seven's chest in the same way, his eyes filled with tears.The high-level knight nodded vigorously, saluted, and then began to organize the troops, assign tasks, and prepare for the upcoming battle.

On the other hand, Chen Ning and No. [-] squatted down again after sending Gerald away.

"Isn't it too risky for you to play this hand?" The two of them continued to talk about the previous topic, and now they are talking about No. [-].

"Are you scared?" Chen Ning squinted at him.

No. 6000 cocked his neck: "Why would I be cowardly? It's just... Borzog was already so difficult to deal with before. In his army of more than [-] people, I don't know how many high-level professionals. If they really fight, Just the two of us, there's no chance of winning! There's no way to help Gerald, but I guess if he is smarter and uses guerrilla, fighting and retreating, he may really be able to drag it out for three hours. We are in Here, I guess I can't help you much."

Chen Ning sneered and said, "Who said that I stayed here to help Gerrard fight against him?"

Number Seven was stunned: "Otherwise?"

"Hehe." Chen Ning said with a smile, "Do you really think we are here to help? Do you need us to help? If Gerald can stop the group of orcs for three hours with a tactic of fighting and retreating, then without us He can still stop him. If he can't handle it, we won't be able to play any role. In fact, the most important task for us to stay here is to accompany the scepter shaman in the orc army. is our worst enemy."

No. [-] was really scared: "Are you crazy? Taking the head of the enemy general among thousands of troops? You think you are Zhao Zilong!"

Chen Ning said: "Do you think I want to? Wasn't it forced?! The group of orcs were able to find our current location so suddenly, and also easily pulled out the scouts and secret sentouts sent by Lin Ao. What is it? It must be a scepter shaman who used some unknown power, otherwise how could they suddenly have this ability? If we don’t kill that scepter shaman, even if we escaped this time, we will still be there in the future Being chased!"
