I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 66

"So, you escaped with the rout?"

Antigonus said in a deep voice, looking at the ragged and distressed foreign barbarian spies in front of him.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Orcs have defeated the coalition forces of the Saloans and the Marikis in one fell swoop, and they may have swept the entire Mariki Plain by now."

Herbert, who escaped by chance, oh no, Didas half-kneeled on the ground and reported. Although he didn't show it on the surface, he was actually full of luck for the rest of his life. If he didn't react quickly enough, Now it must be as much fertilizer as those hapless savages.

"Very well, the Orcs, I remember." Antigonus said with a sneer, he had long regarded everything on the Mariki Plain as his own, and now the Orcs dared to covet his possessions And put it into action, really don't take him seriously.

In this case, he had no choice but to teach the Orcs some life philosophies, and let them know that not everything can be touched!
"Speed ​​up the march and catch up with the Orcs before they retreat!"

Antigonus ordered so.

……

On the other side, the Orcs didn't know that they had been targeted by Antigonus. They were now wantonly attacking the barbarian tribes on the Mariki Plain. These Salo and Maliki tribes had no defense force. , their warriors either died at the hands of the Macedonians or the Orcs, and could only suffer the ravages of the enemy in despair.Amid the mournful wailing of the Salo people and the Maliki people, one tribe after another was breached, their wealth was plundered, and their population was forcibly plundered and used as slaves.

In a Maliki tribe, King Vodnos of the Orcs sat on the main seat in the chief’s house, and beside him were two daughters of the chief with tears on their faces but forced smiles. They died after the fall of the tribe. They were forcibly brought to Vodnos's side by the Orc warriors and ordered to serve him well. Although they were very reluctant in their hearts, in order to survive, the two girls could only shiver and nest next to the Orc king, doing as much as possible. Please the other party, and endure the other party's tricks on you.

However, they were also lucky. Outside the chief’s house, the brutal Orc warriors burned, killed and killed anyone who dared to resist in the most cruel way. Throwing the baby into the burning fire pit, raped the distraught mother; they broke into a wooden house on the side of the road, chopped down the old man who came up to stop them, and forcibly dragged the woman inside out of the house. They humiliated her in front of everyone; they kicked over the pregnant woman with a big belly, and then laughed and bet whether the baby in the belly was a boy or a girl, and then cruelly cut open the belly of the pregnant woman with a sword, and took out the baby that had grown into a human. , depending on his gender, the winning side is smiling, the losing side is furious, and kills the baby and the pregnant woman together...

The world is so miserable, the murderous Orcs are already red-eyed, they can't even be called human beings, they are just a group of beasts that can walk upright.

The killing of the Orcs continued until July 7. After hearing the news that the Macedonian army had entered the Mariki Plain, Vodnos hurriedly restrained his army, trying to evacuate from this already dead place before being overtaken by the Macedonians. However, Antigonus obviously would not let them go as they wished. Under the guidance of spies from the Outer Barbarian Battalion, the Macedonian army went straight to the Orc army, and finally blocked the opponent's way of withdrawal two days later.

Seeing that it was impossible to evacuate before being overtaken, Vodnos changed his face, just like what he said to the Maliki chief before, and sent someone to take the head of the coalition chief and the two carts looted. The wealth was sent to the Macedonian army to express their willingness to submit to Antigonus.

However, how could Antigonus, who was determined to teach the Orcs a lesson, accept the other party's submission?He directly beheaded the envoy sent by Vodnos, and hung his head high in front of the army formation, conveying his will to war to the other party.The envoy's head appeared, and the Orc army was in an uproar. The warriors who were red-eyed in the successive killings shouted to make the Macedonians pay the price. There is a tendency to surround them!
As the leader of the entire tribe, Vodnos did not only think about fighting like his group of simple-minded warriors with well-developed limbs. He saw that the Macedonian army not only surpassed his own in number, but also surpassed them in terms of sophisticated weapons and equipment. He made up his mind in his heart that he must not go head-to-head with the opponent - only a few chiefs and nobles in his army were equipped with armor, and even the most ordinary soldier of the opponent was wearing the armor they longed for. Is there any need to go to war? ?
But regardless of whether he wants to fight or not, Antigonus has ordered his army to blow the attack horn. The Orcs only heard a long sound of the horn, and several phalanxes of the Macedonian army facing them once again A sharp trumpet sounded, and with the sound of the trumpet, the dense phalanxes moved forward in an orderly manner. Seeing the six-meter-long spears rising into the sky, Vodnos couldn't help feeling The emotion of fear.

What is spears like a forest, this is called spears like a forest!

Swallowing his saliva, Vodnos looked at the eager warriors around him, gritted his teeth, raised his weapon, and shouted loudly: "Ork warriors, the Macedonians on the opposite side want to take away our property and slaves, we They must be fought bravely to defend our property and our slaves!"

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

"In the name of the God of War Adlibek, attack! attack! attack!"

"In the name of Adlibek!!!"

Under the call to defend property and slaves, the morale of the Orcs was so high. With a strong fighting spirit, they rushed towards the slow-moving Macedonian phalanx like a flood, although the number and equipment of the enemy far exceeded They, but they bravely launched a charge...

A few hours later, the Macedonian army that had defeated the Orcs stood on the bloody plain. Under their feet were the corpses of countless Orc barbarians and their comrades-in-arms. many.In front of the rock-solid phalanx of the Macedonians, the Orcs, who were brave and had no formation tactics to speak of, were defeated after all. Their infantry could not shake the Macedonian heavy infantry on the frontal battlefield, and their cavalry was also fighting with the Macedonian cavalry. They were completely slaughtered in the confrontation, no matter from which point of view, they have no possibility of winning.
