Chapter 222 Good News

The chilling atmosphere brought by the war permeated the whole world.The banners fluttering in the wind are already tattered and tattered, as if they will fall in an instant.

Above the city tower, there are dead bodies lying on the ground.The wounded were bleeding profusely, but no one moved forward to clean them up. The strong smell of blood and sweat mixed with each other and filled the air, making it pungent and unpleasant.

The flames of war finally reached the city of Oster.The nobles of the Principality of Orton, who had no way out, unleashed their greatest potential at the critical moment of life and death.

The loud screams and screams are touching.Led by the nobles in the city, the blood-stained Orton soldiers let out a heart-piercing cry.

This kind of shouting, contagious and encouraging each other, dispelled many inexplicable fears in my heart.

Arrows flew wildly in the air, dragging a long rain of arrows, cutting through the clear sky like locusts crossing the border, parrying at the orc soldiers who were besieging the city.

Trebuchets, magic crystal cannons, and all kinds of crossbow bolts were flying around for a while.

The powerhouses of both sides are also fighting fiercely at this moment.Dou Qi flies and magic dances.The scene was so horrifying that one could get chills just by looking at it.

The shrill screams, the frenzied killing, and the blazing flames made the soldiers of the two armies even more angry, and the war became more and more intense.

This battle of Oster City also seemed to be the most difficult battle since the orc army entered the Principality of Orton.The setting sun was like blood, and the afterglow of the setting sun poured over the city tower.

"Send the order to stop the siege!"

Duke Daniel said indifferently.

The offensive and defensive battle lasted only one day, and the orc army paid four-digit losses.This is not the previous cannon fodder unit, but the elite of the Orc Empire.

The best time to attack the city has been missed, and the nobles in the city recovered from their panic.If you continue to attack, even if you win Oster City, it will not be worth the loss.

……

"Your Excellency, we managed to reach the top of the city, why did we suddenly order to stop the attack?"

Glancing at the angry visitor, Duke Daniel replied arrogantly: "Count Pulvi, are you questioning me?
Don't forget, I'm the coalition coach now.To give an order, there is no obligation to explain it to you.All you need to do is obey orders.

This is the first and last time! "

The cold voice made the furious Pulvi turn off his fire at once.After calming down, cold sweat broke out from his back.

The nickname of "Duke of Cold Face" is not just about being indifferent.Accompanied by it, there is ruthless killing.

Not only is he decisive against the enemy, but also against his own people.

Seeing the embarrassment of the scene, the commander of the Eagle Clan, Battelle, who came along with him, persuaded him: "Your Excellency, Earl Purvi was just excited for a while.

After all, in order to rush to the top of the city, the bear army had paid a lot of losses, and it is understandable to have emotions in their hearts when they suddenly stop. "

It can be seen that he is also somewhat dissatisfied with Duke Daniel's order.It's just that the city is deeper, and he didn't ask questions as soon as he came up.

"Since you want to know, let me tell you. I think you haven't forgotten the old things about Bethel Fortress!

From the outbreak of the siege to the present, their magic crystal cannons have never stopped, and the magic scrolls are also thrown out for free, regardless of the cost of the war.

The nobles of Orton in the city have already been cornered by us.If you didn't choose to run away, you were planning to fight us to your death.

Don't be blinded by your poor perception.After all, the human race is the overlord of the continent. Although they are falling apart, their inheritance cannot be underestimated.

Right now we don't have enough cannon fodder troops to use. If we fight against them with an elite army, even if we can conquer the city in front of us, the subsequent plans will be impossible.

Originally, the Principality of Orton was not our goal, and the main reason for launching this siege was the poor performance of their army before, which made us feel that we could win in one battle.

The previous battles have proved that our judgment was wrong.The enemy's determination to resist is much stronger than expected.

Since it is a mistake, it must be corrected in time now, and we must not continue on the wrong path. "

Duke Daniel explained almost mockingly.

Just arrogance?

No, he did it on purpose.

Originally, the coalition forces were full of intrigue. If the commander was not strong enough, the battle would be impossible.

If you want to lead the team well, you must beat all the generals of the other three tribes to erect the majesty of the coach.

Everyone has soldiers in their hands, and it will definitely not work to directly force them to stand up.Then it can only be suppressed mentally to establish his commander-in-chief status.

From the very beginning, Duke Daniel was instilling in several people: You are not capable, and you must obey the commander's orders when fighting.

The current explanation is more like an IQ crush.Tell the three people with actual cases: You are all too stupid to see such an obvious problem.

In the future, for military command issues, just follow the orders of the commander-in-chief, and stop thinking wildly and pretending to be clever.

Abandoning the city of Oster, the orc army did not stay in the Principality of Orton, and went directly to the Kingdom of Warhammer.

……

Waxas, as one of the important northern provinces of the Alpha Kingdom, has always been the focus of orc attacks.

This war is no exception. From the very beginning of the war, this place has been taken care of by the orc army.

It lasted until the orcs divided the Moxi Principality, and the situation here eased a little bit.

This relaxation is also relative. The Alpha Kingdom still attracts most of the troops of the Orc Empire and is under the greatest pressure of war.

In the ongoing war, most of the land in Huaxus province fell into the hands of orcs.The few remaining fortresses are also crumbling under the attack of the orcs.

"Have we come to this step again?"

Duke Aarondo murmured to himself.

Every time the orcs invaded in an all-round way, the Alpha Kingdom would inevitably adopt the strategy of "trading space for time".Constantly use the castle fortress along the way to slow down the attack speed of the orc army.

Compared with the past, this war has been considered good.With two more unlucky guys to share the pressure, the military pressure facing Huaxus Province has also been reduced a lot.

In the past, Waxas fell within three to five months after the outbreak of the war; this time the war broke out for nearly ten months, and the Waxas province is still holding on, which is considered a broken record.

It's just that no matter how strong the city defense is, it will eventually be worn out one day.After days of fighting, the fortresses on the front line were almost destroyed by the flames of war.

Just after arranging a defense change, the Duke of Aarondo has decided to retreat to his lair, fulfill his duty as a lord, and be a good householder.

They were all forced out.The disparity in strength is poor, and the defenders can only rely on castle fortresses to defend.

It is only a small probability event to take the initiative to look for a decisive opportunity, and most of the time they are defending.

Since he is at a disadvantage, if he wants to survive, he can't put his lair in a battleground.

It is impossible to take the initiative to run away, the kingdom does not allow anyone to be a deserter.Even the five powerful dukes of the Northland also need to abide by the rules of the game.

Even if you want to make a strategic shift, it must be done after the city is broken.Often when the battle situation develops to this point, the defenders on the front line have already suffered heavy losses.

In previous wars, the noble lords in the Northern Xinjiang region would suffer heavy losses, which was the doomed end from the beginning of the war.

The strength accumulated over the decades has been continuously wiped away in one battle after another.

This is the fate of generations of northern border lords.

In the dark night, hidden in a dilapidated private house in the corner of the city, more than a dozen young and strong men are gathering.

Such a weird meeting, if someone encounters it, will definitely be mistaken for a cult organization.

In fact, the same is true. Since its establishment, the July Society has been living in the dark under the name of a cult.

Compared with cult organizations, the July Society never engages in blood sacrifices and does not promote the belief in evil gods.It's just that the thoughts they spread are more terrifying than cult organizations in the eyes of the rulers.

"Lord Longxi!"

"Lord Longxi!"

……

Everyone stood up one after another, rushing to say hello.It can be seen that this is respect from the heart.

After answering everyone's questions with a smile, Long Xi came to his exclusive seat and sat down.

"Everyone is here, so today's meeting will start early.

You all know the situation in the city.Half of the outer city had collapsed, and even if the defenders made a timely gamble, the deterioration of the situation was still unavoidable.

According to the information collected, our Duke Arondo is ready to break out and leave.The destination, of course, is their family lair.

The opportunity for revenge has come.Since this guy no longer undertakes the important task of guarding Waxus, then we don't have to be polite to him.

Just take his head and pay homage to our dead ancestors.By the way, clean up the portal for my human race. "

Long Xi's words made everyone's eyes shine.The July Society was originally composed of dilapidated nobles, and it had a deep hatred with the five dukes of northern Xinjiang.

It can be said that it is the flesh and blood of the small and medium-sized nobles in the northern land that created the glory of the five great noble families in northern Xinjiang.

It's just that hatred belongs to hatred, and some issues of principle cannot be violated.

Dealing with orcs on weekdays is just a small matter, but if you have anything to do with orcs at this time, it will be rebellious for adults.

Once you are labeled with this kind of label, you will never stand up again.Everyone ventured out to join the July Society, just for revenge, but never thought of betraying the human race.

"Lord Longxi, the old tortoise in Aarondo is very timid. There are many masters around him. Even if he ran for his life in a hurry, I am afraid that the number of guards will still be indispensable.

If we want to ambush him halfway, the power in our hands may not be enough.Unless we can kill with a knife, let the orcs do it for us. "

The eagle-eyed man couldn't help but suggest.

Having been in the northern Xinjiang area for a long time, he has not lost contact with orcs, and naturally there is no lack of connections there.

Only because of the war, the two sides temporarily cut off contact.If you want to contact, you can still continue on.

"Hawkeye, I know you are eager for revenge. But it's better not to be too eager for this kind of thing.

Fire cannot be contained in paper, we can secretly leak Aarondo's whereabouts, but we absolutely cannot contact the orcs directly.

It's not easy brothers.After finally waiting for an opportunity, everyone is preparing to rebuild the family's glory. We can't take risks at this time. "

Long Xi shook his head and said.

The offer was rejected, and the eagle-eyed man was not lost.It is this prudence that the July Society can develop and grow in secret.

Some things can be done, but never stated.In his opinion, leaking Aarondo's whereabouts is not directly different from directly colluding with the orcs.

But politically, these are really two completely different situations.The former can also set up a maze to cover up, and the latter will be cold once the July meeting is leaked.

After all, everyone is a child of the Northland.While the feud with the five giants is as deep as the sea, there is no shortage of blood feud with the orcs.

If they really colluded with the orcs, the July Society would fall apart.This is different from doing business in the orc empire in the past.

It turned out that the purpose of colluding with the nobles and beasts was to make the slave trade smoother.Even if the reputation of the slave trader is not good, everyone can comfort themselves that this is attacking the orcs and avenging their ancestors.

……

Similar small episodes are still being staged in different northern Xinjiang lands at the same time, but everyone is targeting different goals.

Not only the July Club, which is hiding in the dark, wants to avenge the five giants, but the reinforcements from all walks of life are also full of their enemies.

After so many years of development for the exiled northern nobles in the south, many families have rejuvenated themselves.

It doesn't matter if a family has feuds. If there are too many enemies, even the big nobles can't stand it.

All kinds of small movements in the dark, like an undercurrent hidden in the ground, hit the five big families continuously.

……

Fort of Flying Bear, Master Hudson, who is busy training the army, is in a very good mood now.

Just now, he received an official reply from the kingdom: [-] new recruits will be added to the expeditionary force one after another.

In order to strengthen the connection between the two sides, the Kingdom even sent a five-member Griffin Squad to follow the expeditionary force.

It can be seen from the kingdom's decision that the expeditionary force has gradually risen from a dispensable miscellaneous army to an important armed force of the kingdom.

During the war, the status of the army was created by itself.Often the more prominent the military exploits and the more elite the troops, the greater the resource tilt they receive.

This is a positive cycle. Once the [-] supplementary troops arrive, the six reinforced legions of the expeditionary force will be full, or even exceed.

If this 10-strong team can be trained, Hudson will have enough right to speak in the troubled times that follow.

Even though most of them are the army of the kingdom.But as long as they accept his command, the mutual love will be there.

This kind of network of contacts gained after experiencing life and death together on the battlefield is stronger than the usual 20 years of operation.

As long as it is well managed, this is a natural political faction.

With a few more victories, everyone will become heroes of the kingdom, and there will always be some nobles who will achieve a class transition.

The biggest beneficiary of the growth of faction power is naturally the leader Hudson.If one becomes an official in the central government, there is a high probability that one can gain the position of a powerful minister.

Good news always came one after another. Not only did the domestic reinforcements come, but the Mosi people gave an accurate answer: they agreed to the proposal to increase weapons and equipment for the expeditionary force.

It could be seen that their war bonds were selling well.Otherwise, it would be impossible for Hudson to form a cavalry corps in the expeditionary force.

After all, the guest army is the guest army. Don't look at everyone fighting together now. Once the war is over, they will part ways.

People risked their lives to come to help fight the war, so they couldn't get back the weapons and equipment they gave away, right?
This kind of immoral thing, if it starts a bad start, who will come to help when encountering troubles in the future!

Of course, the sudden generosity of the Moxi people probably included the reward from the last incident.

Equal exchange is popular in the noble world.The plan given by Hudson is reliable and has achieved phased results, so it is natural to give corresponding rewards.

The only regret is that all promises are now just promises.It will take a long time to implement it concretely.

　The recent update is not good enough, and Haiyue is also very worried. She is locked at home every day, and she doesn't know where her inspiration has gone.I miss the days of sunshine and small rivers
