Lord Harland.

The power used by the Orc Empire to invade the Grant Kingdom was less than one tenth.

According to public information, the Orc Empire has a total of 160 regular legions, with a total strength of approximately 5 million.

However, if it is fully mobilized, the orcs can mobilize tens of millions of soldiers, but the combat effectiveness of the mobilized soldiers is very low, and they can only be used to fight a dozen battles.

When attacking, in addition to consuming food, mobilizing soldiers is just sending heads to the enemy.When the orcs went south, they basically didn't need to be fully mobilized, they organized and mobilized troops to join the battle.

Due to the constraints of other forces, the power used by the orcs in the Grant Kingdom is actually fixed, and they can draw up to six to ten legions from other regions.

If there are too many legions drawn from other regions, the situation will be out of balance.

Since the last orc invasion war, four legions were drawn from other regions. As a result, the Grant Kingdom withstood the pressure, and Zachary, the commander of the Northern Legion, withstood the pressure and wiped out an orc legion.

After the war, the Grant Kingdom increased its military strength in the northern region, organized and trained three Atonement Legions, and re-maintained the balance.

One of the important reasons why orcs invade frequently is that kobolds, snake-body people, goat-body people, and wild boar people mature much faster than humans.

The orc tribe has many races. Kobolds, goats, and wild boars all have very strong fertility. Kobolds can reach adulthood at the age of seven or eight, and snakes can reach adulthood at the age of ten. Even werewolves, lions, and harpies are basically adults before the age of twelve.

In order to avoid population explosion and civil unrest.

Every time the orcs invade, they are actually consuming the excess garbage population.

This time the orcs invaded, the number of troops was actually slightly smaller than the last time.

Now that the war has been fought, the orc side has lost troops and captured a population of . The strategic goal has been achieved, and there is a plan to withdraw.

Since June, the orcs have continued to shrink, and their forces have gradually concentrated at the southern foot of the Eagle Mountain Range. In late July, half of the orc army has retreated into the middle of the Eagle Mountain Range.

King Roger was very angry because he failed to save the captured population of Gascoigne Province. By mid-July, his patience finally reached its limit.

King Roger issued an edict, removing Stein from his post as commander of the Northern Army and appointing him as commander of the Gabria Army.

He was directly transferred from the head of the main army corps to the head of the local provincial army, and his rank was reduced from lieutenant general to major general. Although he did not lose the battle, Stein had almost no future to speak of.

The new head of the Northern Legion, King Roger, chose to be promoted on the spot, and Rab, the first deputy head of the army and captain of the Warcraft Cavalry Brigade, was promoted to the head of the army.

William's old commander Teng Wei also took advantage of the situation and was promoted from the position of logistics minister to the first deputy army commander and captain of the Warcraft Cavalry.

After waiting for many years, Tarak finally got rid of Tengwei and took the position of logistics minister.

Although William's official title has not changed, his influence within the Northern Army has increased a bit.

Both Rab and Tengwei are his old comrades in arms, and they have served in the Northern Army for more than years.

This time King Roger completely let go of the Northern Legion, and decided to break the ceiling and appoint capable officers on the frontier to preside over the situation.

In fact, this time Stein directed the battle without making any big mistakes. However, as the commander of the main army, he had no overall concept and did not dare to take risks. He did not make correct decisions during the battle. His command errors were a key factor in the heavy losses in the Gascoigne Province.

Roger Kingdom has just come to power, and there are not many qualified high-ranking officials in his hands, so he can only choose to promote local military officers, hoping to use local military officers to stabilize the situation.

If Stein used his troops too cautiously, the commander of the Arab Army used his troops too recklessly and fiercely.

After taking office, Rab abandoned his main force in the first battle and led the cavalry of the Northern Legion to attack the orc transportation line, wiped out the two brigades of orcs, and rescued serfs.

Logistics was unstable, and the orcs could only continue to mobilize troops to protect the logistics transportation lines.

As a result, five brigades had just been transferred back to the front, and Teng Wei commanded the infantry of the Northern Territory Army, and immediately launched a fortified battle.

In this battle, the orcs lost their strength advantage and were forced to fight an upright positional battle with the Northern Army. The camp was broken by heavy trebuchets.

As a result, the orcs were defeated and lost five thousand troops again.

In two consecutive battles, Rab and Tengwei seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they cooperated quite tacitly. Not only did the two fight together, they lost orcs.A group of captured population was also rescued, bringing the situation back a bit.

The orcs at the front suffered a disadvantage, so they could only draw troops from the rear.

The five brigades of orcs who were confronting Richard in the Platos Mountains dispatched two brigades to bypass the Platos Mountains and pass through the Eagle Mountains from the Earl of Martins to support the main force of the orcs near Harden Castle.

The main force of the orcs came for reinforcements and slowly retreated towards the Earl of Martins.

This passage is still in the hands of the orcs, and it seems that the orcs have already planned to retreat completely.

Within a few months, most of the more than 500 wounded soldiers in Harland's territory have been demobilized, and the shortage of soldiers has long been made up.

During this period of time, Li Cha did not forget to learn magic and mastered the five-ring magic force field.

After learning this spell, Richard's defense ability has been greatly enhanced. According to the magic power in his body, after opening the magic field, even a high-level magician would have a hard time breaking up Richard's defensive force field.

In addition to learning magic, during the recent period, Harland's territory has also added hundreds of pieces of snake scale armor.

This is not just the work of Richard alone. Many magic apprentices in the territory have completed the pre-processing of the snake scale armor. Butler and Anne's enchantment skills have also been upgraded to the first level, and they can enchant the snake scale armor.

Another necromancer, Hiss, had been studying enchanting technology before, and he had been responsible for part of the enchanting tasks during his time in the tower of death.

With the help of everyone, although he made the enchanted armor in his spare time during the war, he completed a year's task in five months.

More than a hundred pieces of enchanted armor were distributed by Richard to the third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh squadrons.

With one hundred more enchanted armors, new recruits have gained war experience, and all wounded soldiers have been demobilized. The strength of Harland's army is even stronger than half a year ago.

The orcs mobilized troops from the direction of Platos, and they could only tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

As soon as the number of orcs in the direction of Platos decreased, they were immediately discovered by Richard.

Richard was very decisive in using his troops and trusted his battlefield instincts. Regardless of whether there were traps or not, he immediately led his soldiers to fight the orcs in the north of Platos Castle.

Half a year ago, Richard was able to lead the soldiers of Harland's territory to defeat three large groups of orcs.

Half a year later, the Haaland Territory Army could still do this in an upright positional battle.

Although the orc army has more professionals, better physical fitness, and greater strength.

However, there is a generation gap between the orc army and human elite weapons and equipment, and the long-range attack strength of human soldiers far exceeds that of orcs.In addition, the soldiers in the territory of Harland were equipped with a large number of alchemy bombs, and the accuracy of using trebuchets was also better than that of orcs.

Even in terms of physical fitness, Harland's territory also has a large number of elite soldiers. The number of professionals in the army under his command exceeds more than 200, which is barely comparable to the orcs.

Moreover, Richard also has Warcraft Cavalry under his command, and the elite soldiers are equipped with enchanted crossbows, enchanted armor, and enchanted long swords.

Richard repeated his old trick again, bringing a trebuchet to launch alchemical bombs, forcing the main force of the orcs to leave the camp and engage in positional warfare with the soldiers from the Harland territory.

Although the orcs also have trebuchets, they don't know how to calculate ballistics, and using trebuchets is quite dull.This time, although he reacted, he also threw a few kilograms of stones and shot at Harland's territorial army.

However, the power of several kilograms of stone bombs is relatively weak, far inferior to alchemy bombs.

After shooting for a while, the orc officer had no choice but to give up this bad strategy and was forced to leave the camp and assemble to fight a positional battle with Richard.

The strength of the two sides is very close, but the weapons and equipment are quite different.

After entering the range of the archers, the soldiers of Harland's territory stopped and shot down a large number of orcs with their bows and arrows.The orcs couldn't shoot at the human soldiers, so they could only speed up the march and rushed to fight hand-to-hand with the human army.

In just two hundred meters of road, more than a thousand orcs fell, and the cries were very tragic.

After finally rushing over, the magicians in Harland's territory used powerful spells one after another, such as greasy spell and spider web spell, and threw them out for free.Various spells restricted the speed of the orcs' movement, followed by another round of strong bows and crossbows, and another batch of orcs were killed or injured.

Even if they managed to rush forward, the soldiers of Harland Territory were wearing iron armor, enchanted armor, and a large amount of magical healing power, so they were not inferior in hand-to-hand combat.

The orcs have a team of snake-born professional soldiers, and Richard also organized a warcraft cavalry.

The monster cavalry only attacked snake-bodied people, and the orcs were restrained everywhere, and soon more than half of them were killed or killed.

Although the orcs were more capable of withstanding casualties, more than half of the casualties still broke the will of the orcs.

In terms of strength, the orc army of the three brigades was no match for the soldiers of Harland's territory at all.

Head-to-head battles always rely on strength.

The strength is not as good as that of humans, and the failure of the orcs cannot be avoided.

The positional battle only lasted for an hour and a half, and the three groups of orcs had already collapsed.

Seeing that the orcs had dispersed, Richard ordered the Warcraft Cavalry to pursue them for several miles, driving all the orcs into the primeval forest before stopping the pursuit.

In fact, only about a thousand orcs were killed in positional warfare, and most of them were shot to death by bows and arrows. The number of orcs killed or injured in hand-to-hand combat was relatively small.When it broke up, almost all the wounded soldiers had their heads cut off and a large number of prisoners were taken.

Many of the orcs who managed to escape into the forest were injured and would face countless difficulties such as blood loss, hunger, and infection. Less than half of them could return safely.

After cleaning the battlefield and listening to the staff report, Richard learned that more than 3,000 orcs were beheaded in this battle, 1,400 orcs were captured, and only about 1,600 orcs escaped.

Although this battle lost its suddenness, the soldiers in Harland's territory only suffered 600 casualties and 226 casualties, thus achieving a great victory.

After defeating the orc army north of Platos Castle, Richard immediately attacked the orc transportation line along the Platos Valley.

This battle was even more unexpected. The orcs were attacked during the march, and they barely organized an effective resistance, and were wiped out by the soldiers of Harland Territory.

After cleaning the battlefield, they wiped out an orc brigade with less than casualties, and more importantly, rescued human captives from the fortress behind.

Counting the 6,000 people rescued at the beginning of the war, the Haaland Territory has not spent gold coins this year, and the population has increased by about 20,000.

Li Cha took the initiative to attack and seized the opportunity to fight two consecutive battles.

The results of these two battles were very brilliant. They severely damaged and defeated three orc brigades and wiped out one orc brigade.

The heads of the orc professionals were sent to the Noble Council, and the prisoners were handed over to the Royal Capital Mage Association. In addition to the military exploits as rewards for winning battles, twelve great achievements were made at once.

This year when the orcs invaded, Richard undoubtedly became a man of the day in the Grant Kingdom. He launched four consecutive battles, four victories and four victories. Cooperating with Viscount Luomen, he severely damaged six orc brigades and wiped out three orc brigades.

Almost by himself, he changed the war situation of Grant Kingdom.

This year, a quarter of the losses of the orc army came from Richard, a quarter came from the Northern Army, and a quarter came from the Duke of Jonathan. Only the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops won the last quarter. Results.

After four victories, Richard had accumulated twenty-six great achievements, and he could almost be granted a viscounty title.

In the past ten years, in terms of military achievements, only a few heroes such as Zachary, Martins, Roger, and Jonathan ranked ahead of Richard.

In this orc invasion, it was not only Richard who made great contributions, but also William's contribution.

Although the army led by William, it is impossible to count all the military exploits in his hands.But after several battles, William also made three great achievements, plus some military achievements accumulated by Sophia.

The meritorious service made by the Harland family in this battle is enough to change a viscount.

After making great achievements, Li Cha was also afraid of becoming a key target of the orcs' attack, so he immediately returned to Platos Castle, away from the main battlefield.

As time entered August, the orcs gradually returned to the northern part of the Eagle Mountain Range.

This battle was anticlimactic for the orcs. Although they achieved considerable results before the war started, they suffered losses at the end.

In the half-year-long war, the orcs lost nearly 60,000 soldiers, captured 100,000 human slaves, and grabbed some gold coins and supplies.

Since Richard was sixteen years old, he has experienced four orc invasion wars. In nine years, more than 300,000 humans were kidnapped by orcs in the Grant Kingdom.

There are three central provinces and three duchies in the northern part of the Grant Kingdom, with a combined population of more than 10 million and approximately 3 million household registrations.

One tenth of the families in northern Xinjiang have relatives who have been looted by orcs.For nobles and poor people close to the border, this probability will be much higher, almost reaching half.
