Chapter 699: The long night before dawn

Snatch the totem and retreat from the battlefield.

After making it impossible for the power of totem protection to continue to strengthen the orcs on the battlefield.

Brand and others did not take a break, flying all the way south, away from the battlefield.

——The ritual of the return of the beast spirits will continue for a long time. If the totem remains near the frontline battlefield, it will always be a hidden danger!

On the way, he met the friendly troops who were going to support him.

When the sky was getting dark, Brand and others arrived at the rear station.

Looking at the scarlet beam of light approaching the sky, the garrison at the station certainly would not turn a blind eye.

Of course, because Brand used the blank screen in advance to tell the situation to Mr. Robert who was staying at the station.

So the defenders all knew that this was not an attack by the orcs, but that the library mage group had snatched back the orcs' totems.

Fly into the station without any hindrance.

Looking around, Brand found Mr. Robert standing in front of a group of soldiers in a specially cleared space, waving to him.

Control the Earth Knight to land closer, gently lower the huge totem, and then lift the frame of the mage group.

When everyone's feet returned to the ground, they stopped exerting force, and their bodies relaxed, their faces were filled with fatigue and weakness.

——Since the mountains collapsed and they went to support, they have been in a high-intensity battle. Even on the subsequent flight south, they used their full strength!

Seeing this scene, Mr. Robert came over and said:

"Dinner is already being prepared. You can go back and have a rest now, and then have dinner. Just let us look at the totem for the time being.

Although most of the men in the station have gone out to provide support, with various defense methods, it is not easy for the orcs to invade.

I will notify you as soon as possible if there is any problem."

Hearing this, Brand and others did not hesitate.

Immediately went to the camp to freshen up and then have dinner.

When Brand, who had eaten and drank enough, took Catherine, Hisali and everyone in the library back to the open space where the totem was.

Lights have been lit inside and around the station, and the bright light illuminates the night.

Amidst this, the huge totem pole is still projecting a scarlet-colored light beam toward the distant sky.

Many soldiers guarding the totem, as well as idle mages and knights, gathered around the totem, looking at and studying it curiously.

Library members soon joined in.

If you release the Eye of Insight to observe the surroundings, you can easily discover the power of totems everywhere in the entire station and even around the station.

Of course, due to the lack of means to use it, this power has not strengthened the various buildings in the station.

In addition, up to this moment, it has been indiscriminately suppressing and interfering with the extraordinary power in the knights and mages within the range!

——Compared with the return of the beast spirits that we have encountered in the past, there is something very special about the return of the beast spirits this time!

Brand doesn't know whether this is a totem problem.

Or maybe it’s because the orcs performed a special ritual, a ritual of actively sacrificing their lives!

——According to Mr. Claude, who joined the "Special Operations Team", an old Titan orc volunteered to sacrifice himself.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind. After walking around, Brand took Catherine and walked towards Mr. Robert.

At this time, the old man was sitting on a chair wearing armor, staring at the empty screen in front of him with several friends dressed in the same way.

Seeing their arrival, Mr. Robert smiled and waved, and others also showed friendly looks.

After sitting down and asking briefly.

Brand learned that these friends beside Mr. Robert were the heads of other aristocratic families who were responsible for managing the logistics affairs of the aristocratic pioneering corps.

——The legion they belong to is also an actual participant in the current battle!

At this point in time. Although the totem had long been taken away from the battlefield, the orcs no longer had the power of the totem to strengthen them, and the extraordinary power within the imperial warriors was no longer disturbed or restricted.

But the battle did not stop quickly!

——Even when night falls, the battle between the two sides is still going on!

"Mr. Brand, can you tell us about the specific situation on the frontline battlefield when you left?

The empty screen is not realistic enough, and the intelligence sent back is not clear enough. Quite confusing.”

Hearing the eagerness in this gentleman's tone, Brand's excitement about successfully snatching the totem faded a lot.

After nodding, he slowly narrated:

“The situation on the frontline battlefield is very complicated, although we snatched the totem and saved the extremely bad situation.
< br>But due to the impact of the previous mountain collapse, our advantages are relatively limited

So the losses in this battle will definitely not be small..."

The main ground forces of the coalition forces were severely damaged, and a lot of various ordnance was damaged in the collapse of the mountains.

This is a fact that Brand has seen with his own eyes!

Based on this background, even if the mountains and fortresses collapse, many orc warriors are affected, and the totems are taken away by them, the orcs will not easily cease the war!

In fact, Brand didn't find it strange at all when a strong orc came over to try to snatch the totem back and then support the battlefield.

——The reason why their library came to the totem after a short rest was because they considered that the orcs might still have ideas about the totem.

Once a powerful orc attacks, their library will respond immediately.

Either cooperate with the garrison in a head-on battle, or take the totem away directly.

While telling several noble family heads about the situation on the front line.

Brand was also keenly aware that the worries hidden under their gentle expressions were deepening.

In the current war map, the various high-level military arms of the empire still have clear text marks, but the marks of the ground troops are very general and vague.

After the mountain collapsed, the army that originally besieged the central fortress was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.

Judging from the situation when Brand rushed over to support.

The various ground armies in the central area have experienced large attrition.

The legion was scattered, the wounded were evacuated, and only a few elite warriors were left, working together under the leadership of one legion commander to desperately block the orcs' attack.

——The nearby warriors even wore armor from different legions!

in this case.

Of course, the intelligence personnel responsible for maintaining the intelligence map cannot confirm the specific situation of the soldiers in each legion.

Don't look at the current intelligence map. The empire's legions are fighting fiercely with the orcs in various locations, and they are even at an advantage in many areas.

But the actual situation is extremely complicated-soldiers from different legions are mixed together to fight the orcs!

There is no way to calculate the specific casualties of each legion!

The losses of some legions may be relatively small, while the losses of some legions may be great.

The specific situation will not be known until the battle is over and the actual statistics are collected!

Sitting in front of the empty screen, chatting with Mr. Robert and several noble family heads until the moon was high in the sky, the beasts finally began to retreat.

Not long after, several noble family heads who were chatting with them received a report from their subordinates:

The legions on the frontline battlefield were using magic communication devices to send them remote communications.
