After lunch, the army set off.

Since time was tight at the moment, Delk stayed on the road to confirm some things with his own soldiers as he walked.

At this moment, he was confirming the casualties of his dark elf army.

Those numbers made Delk feel heavy. After confirming them, he seemed to remember something and asked again...

"What about the human side? What are the casualties on the human side?"

The "human side" that Delk said refers to the remaining troops of the previous Europa army.

As they retreated all the way, many Europa garrisons stationed in various cities and fortresses also gathered together.

Previously, Delk, as a dark elf, basically didn't care what happened to the human troops.

However, when the battle reached this point, the combat strength of the dark elf army under his command was greatly reduced due to attrition problems. However, on the other hand, the human army's entire combat strength has been maintained quite stable.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the recent battles, with the dark elf army's combat power plummeting, he has begun to rely on human troops for output, especially in the area of ​​long-range firepower. Now human troops directly occupy a decisive role.

status.

In this way, facing the human troops that had risen to important combat power, he naturally had to pay attention.

And just as Delk was confirming these situations one by one, a harpy quickly flew over in the sky.

"Report to the general, traces of the foreign coalition forces have been found in the rear!"

Delk's face was obviously shocked when he heard this.

"What position?"

"They have just arrived at the spot where we camped last night."

Before leaving the camp site, just in case, Delk deliberately left a few harpies to keep an eye on them, just to see when the foreign coalition forces would catch up.

Considering the time it took the harpy to travel, the foreign coalition forces should have already left that area long ago.

It was noon when they left, and now, the sun has set in the west, and the time is approaching evening. I made a little estimate of the distance in my mind, and it should be relatively safe, but I must not be careless.

"General, are you going to launch an attack?"

There is no doubt that if the Harpy troops are allowed to launch an attack from the air, it will more or less buy them a certain amount of time.

However, acting hastily may have the opposite effect.

As his thoughts whirled, Delk quickly said to the harpy...

"I will send a harpy force to go back with you. If the foreign coalition forces have discovered your whereabouts, they will directly launch an attack. If not, then follow them quietly and conduct surveillance."

"yes!"

Delk's arrangement naturally had his considerations.

When the other party has not discovered the Harpy troops, if the Harpy is allowed to launch an attack, wouldn't that be equivalent to telling the other party that the distance between them is not far?

When the time comes, once the foreign coalition forces start chasing them fiercely, their situation will not be good.

He would never do anything like this to cause trouble for himself.

After the harpy flew away, Delk's eyes quickly fell on his own soldiers.

"Give me the order to speed up the march. At the same time, we will not camp tonight. We will march all night to try to distance ourselves from the foreign coalition forces in the rear!"

"yes!"

As the disadvantaged side, they are undoubtedly in a difficult situation at the moment.

But as a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years, Delk has not completely lost his cool.

At the same time, Delk at this time had to admit another advantage of the human army, that is, the army's marching efficiency!

Even among civilizations, the marching efficiency of human civilization is ranked among the best, and their marching efficiency is due to various transportation vehicles!

Such as troop transport vehicles and motorcycle soldiers, etc.

At this moment, the foreign coalition forces are chasing them with the help of these technological vehicles.

With sufficient fuel, the impact of physical problems on their marching efficiency could be said to be minimized at once.

Although the Dark Elf army also obtained a batch of human vehicles when they captured the city before, the number was ultimately limited.

Nowadays, these vehicles are also used to transport heavy ordnance such as cannons and marauder ballistae, as well as dark elf mage troops that have basically lost their combat capabilities.

In other words, many soldiers still have to rely on two legs.

As we all know, the marching efficiency of an army is not determined by the unit that moves the fastest, but by the unit that moves the slowest.

In this way, their marching efficiency is slow, and there is absolutely nothing they can do about it.

One night passed, and the Dark Elf army and Europa soldiers, who had only slept for one night since their defeat a few days ago, felt beaten after having finally recovered some of their energy after another round of overnight march.

The feeling of returning to the original shape.

Constantly fighting against the waves of exhaustion that kept rising, looking at the bright sky in front of him and the horizon in the distance, there was already a touch of fish belly white, Delke struggled to open his bloodshot eyes,

He signaled the army to stop, eat something, take a rest, and then continue marching.

After all, their current situation doesn't allow them to stay in the same place for too long.

Once they are overtaken by the foreign coalition forces, then based on their current situation, they will really be doomed.

They don't even need to fight. The mere appearance of the foreign coalition forces can directly collapse their morale. The situation is already so bad.

After a short rest, it was another long day and night for the Dark Elf army and Europa soldiers. They stopped intermittently to rest several times along the way, but each time did not exceed two hours.

To be honest, the fatigue and pressure accumulated during this period were almost overwhelming them.

Until the harpy comes again...

After all, the foreign coalition army is not made of iron. Like the dark elf army, they just finished a tough battle a few days ago.

Now he led his troops to pursue them, and they gave chase fiercely, but failed to catch up with the dark elf army.

Just think that the other party has fled far away.

Afterwards, the marching pace was gradually slowed down to allow the soldiers under his command to adjust.

This gave the dark elves marching day and night a chance to distance themselves.

After confirming the information from the harpy, Delk could be said to be greatly relieved.

Let the harpies continue to take turns monitoring. At least tonight, they can have a good sleep.
Chapter completed!
