Lord Harland.

During the three days of fierce offensive and defensive battles in the fortress of Prato, the orcs lost soldiers.

Although the orc culture is barbaric and their ability to withstand casualties is greater than that of the human army, the casualties are close to one-third, which has a serious impact on the morale of the orcs.

Moreover, there are still human defenders in the Platos defense line. There are 800 soldiers from the Northern Army in Fortress No. 3, and nearly 2,000 soldiers from the Allied Forces in Fortress No. 9 and No. 8.

In order to keep the back road, four thousand orcs must be left to guard the enemy.

Leading 6,000 orcs deep behind enemy lines, a slight mistake could lead to the entire army being annihilated. Grodan was a cautious commander, and it was difficult for him to make such a determination.

What's more, the fierce attack for three consecutive days also exhausted the last bit of strength of the orcs. Grodan was no longer able to continue marching, so he could only rest for a while.

After weighing the pros and cons, Grodan immediately wrote a battle report to the commander-in-chief Killam, reporting the details of the battle, and wrote his own opinion, requesting to send him some reinforcements.Only by drawing back the four major brigades of the army can we be sure to execute the order to insert behind the enemy.

Through the Harpy's aerial reconnaissance, Grodan already knew that across the Platos Mountains was the densely populated area of ​​Harland's territory. This area could recruit more than 50,000 serf soldiers to defend the city.

Although the serf army's combat effectiveness is very weak, as long as they dare to work hard, they can still kill orcs in defensive battles. Without enough troops, it is really terrible to fight one castle after another.

While Grodan was waiting for reinforcements to repair, the orc army on the eastern front of Harland's territory fell into a dilemma of being surrounded on three sides.

Gatling's Department originally planned to go deep alone, attracting the Grant Kingdom's army, adopting the tactics of central blooming, attacking the rear of Harland's territory, shaking the morale of the northern frontline army, and cooperating with the main force to encircle and annihilate the enemy.

Unexpectedly, after passing through the territory of Harland, he fell into the trap of the Grant Kingdom's army.

The orcs had just conquered Viscount Nelson, and were about to enter the core of Harland's territory along the Black River, but found that the Grizzly Legion had already entered Graveson County and stopped them halfway.

After the establishment of the Grotta Province, the Kingdom of Grant has a total of four legions in the northern border, three of which have been put into battle. Each legion has contained an army of orcs, and only the Grizzly Bear Legion is still active in the rear.

Although the Grizzly Legion suffered heavy losses in the last war, and more than half of the soldiers were recruits, this army was more than after all, equipped with alchemy bombs, and its combat effectiveness far surpassed that of Gatlin's orcs.

The orcs thought that the Grizzly Bear Legion would learn from the lessons of the last war and would not leave the strong fortress rashly to avoid falling into the orc trap.

Unexpectedly, William took over as the commander of the Grizzlies Legion. William has a special relationship with Harland and will definitely cooperate with Harland in fighting.

After the orcs invaded, Soros had already informed William of Gatling's situation through the Lion Knight.

With detailed information, William persuaded the main officer in the Grizzly Army against all opinions, and appeared near Gravesen with reinforcements, blocking Gatlin's army.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gatlin wanted to return from the original route, but Soros blocked his retreat. At the same time, the Flying Eagle Legion in the east also blocked the lower reaches of the Black River, leaving Gatlin's tribe surrounded by three armies.

Among the three armies, the Grizzly Bear Legion in the west has the strongest combat effectiveness, with about 20,000 soldiers and a 300-man Warcraft Cavalry. The Soros Division on the North Road is next, with a total of 7,000 regular troops in the Harland Territory. Although the Flying Eagle Legion in the east has 12,000 soldiers, its combat effectiveness is the weakest and is far less powerful than the Soros Division.

Gatlin's command originally had five orc brigades, totaling more than 10,000 orcs. However, they were ambushed by Norman in the Canyon Castle and lost 1,600 people. They attacked the Viscount Nelson and lost more than 700 people. Today, the main force of the orcs has less than 8,000 people left.

Eight thousand orcs were besieged by the three-way army, and they suddenly fell into a situation where they were called "every day should not be answered, and the earth was not working".

The orcs originally planned to adopt a tactic of flying on both wings. The main force was hoarded in the middle of the Eagle Mountain Range to contain the army of Harland's territory. Using Gatling and Grodan as arrows, they penetrated into the hinterland of Harland's territory and disrupted Harland from the inside. The German territorial front completely wiped out this rising enemy.

Unexpectedly, the Harland Territory did the opposite and tried its best to delay Grodan in the west, taking advantage of Grodan's cautious character to buy time. Cooperating with the garrison of the Grant Kingdom's Lach Province on the eastern front, they successfully besieged Gatlin.

Among the three armies, the Flying Eagle Fort garrison has the weakest combat effectiveness. It is difficult for this army to withstand the orc attack in the field. William has commanded the Feiyan Legion in combat and is not confident about the combat effectiveness of this second-line army, so he arranged for them to Guard the Flying Eagle Castle and set up a water fortress to block the orcs and prevent the orcs from advancing eastward.

The Grizzly Bear Legion marched north and south against Thoros's troops, annihilating the orc army in the field.

Gatlin's troops are unwilling to engage in battle with humans even though they are focused on moving forward, and want to rely on marching speed to get rid of the enemy.

However, the Grizzly Bear Army and the Harland Army are both elite field armies. Although their marching speed is slightly slower than that of the Orcs, they are marching on the inside and can get a certain amount of supplements. In addition, with their large numbers, the Orcs can quickly be restrained. It is located in a narrow terrain of several square kilometers.

At this moment, Gatlin could not avoid the fate of being surrounded.

The spring rains are continuous, and large drops of rain fall from the sky. In this bad weather, humans and orcs have to do their best.

The orc army was stationed on a mountain ridge, occupying a favorable terrain.

The Harland leader and the Grizzly Bear Legion must attack from above if they want to destroy this enemy.

Behind Soros's department, dozens of catapults were assembled by a large number of craftsmen.

Harland has developed for so many years and has trained tens of thousands of craftsmen, and its industry has also developed to a certain level. Especially the standard equipment, the size and specifications are exactly the same. As long as you bring enough parts, it is very easy to assemble the trebuchet.

In just half a day, a large number of trebuchets have been assembled.Following the officer's order, the winchman waved his sharp blade and cut off the rope on the trebuchet. The huge racket rod was raised high, and stone bullets weighing dozens of kilograms rained down on the orcs.

Despite the unfavorable terrain, the orcs lacked long-range projection means. Thoros' forward camp was very close to the orc camp, and the stone bullets could still be fired at a distance of more than 130 meters to attack the orcs.

In an instant, a large number of orcs were hit by the stones, and for a while, the orc camp was bloody, killing and injuring many people.

The orc officers organized several teams, hoping to take advantage of the geographical advantage and launch several counterattacks to drive Harland's army down the mountain. Unfortunately, they could not break through Harland's formation at all.On the contrary, he was killed by arrows and alchemy bombs, causing heavy casualties.

Thoros alone gave the orcs a headache, and the Grizzly Bear Legion led by William was not a fuel-efficient lamp either. The orcs could only disperse their forces to resist the enemies on both sides of the mountain ridge.

In just one afternoon, the orcs killed and injured nearly three thousand people, and they were squeezed into the small ridge.

"bump!"

A stone bullet hit the wooden fence with a muffled sound, and the broken wood flew everywhere, hitting four or five orcs immediately.

The wail sounded immediately, and the miserable scene affected other orcs, making everyone fall into fear.

Seeing that the wailing of the wounded soldiers was affecting morale, perhaps due to too much pressure, a third-level lion officer immediately ran over, waving a long knife in his hand, and hacked to death several wailing wounded soldiers without hesitation. Seeing this scene, The orcs nearby suddenly widened their eyes.

In an instant, the area suddenly became extremely quiet, and the air seemed to freeze.

Most of the wounded soldiers killed by the lion officers were werewolves.

In the Orc Empire, various races have serious conflicts. If it weren't for the pressure of the human empire, the various chaotic races would not unite to form the Orc Alliance.

The lion-man officer massacred the wounded werewolf soldiers, instantly arousing public outrage.

A werewolf soldier let out a loud roar, raised the iron spear in his hand and stabbed the third-order lion man. The werewolf next to him had red eyes and almost no hesitation, holding a weapon to attack the brutal lion man.

The orc army has distinct levels, and there is a serious power imbalance between the upper and lower levels. This kind of thing rarely happens.

The third-order lion man didn't react at all, and died in the siege of werewolf soldiers in the blink of an eye.

Once civil strife occurs, it is difficult to suppress it, and the orc army is still under siege.Gatling received news of the rebellion of werewolf soldiers, and finally suppressed the civil strife, but the human army below the mountain launched a general attack.

William and Soros are both experienced commanders. They have more than thirty years of military service and have participated in hundreds of battles. They are both veterans of the northern Xinjiang region.

Although the orcs had a short period of civil strife, they seized the opportunity and launched a fierce attack from the north and south at the same time.

Suddenly there was a fierce drumbeat in the wilderness, and the heavy infantry phalanxes organized their formations and quickly attacked the orcs.

"Soldiers, it's time to avenge our brothers and sisters. The orcs can't hold on anymore. We will win this battle. Everyone follow me and charge to kill all the orcs."

Soros rode an iron horned horse, let out a roar, and took the lead in charging towards the orcs.He rode on an iron horned horse, and kept pulling the bowstring in his hand to shoot left and right.Soros's archery skills had reached the peak, and among the millions of armed men in the Kingdom of Grant, he could rank among the top .

Every time he shoots an enchanted arrow, he can kill an orc professional.

Although Soros is only a seventh-level professional, the threat to the orcs' low-level officers is somewhat stronger than William, who is at the ninth level.

Seeing that Thoros was so brave and killed a large number of his own people, the orc deputy commander Gatlin wanted to organize a counterattack to kill this enemy.

Unexpectedly, the Grizzly Bear Legion attacked the top of the mountain first.

After all, the Grizzly Bear Legion has a Warcraft Cavalry of 300 people. This cavalry is the core of the Grizzly Bear Legion's combat effectiveness. Although the Grizzly Legion suffered heavy losses in the last battle, this Warcraft Cavalry had relatively light losses in combat effectiveness due to its faster speed. It has been replenished after three years.

During the attack, the impact of the Warcraft cavalry was extremely shocking. Hundreds of Warcraft horses released spells at the same time, causing extremely destructive power. Three hundred rounds of magic missiles were fired, and combined with the rain of arrows, they directly defeated two squadrons of orcs.

William took the lead, and the enchanted sword in his hand turned into afterimages, rolling up a whirlwind of death on the way forward. A dozen orcs who couldn't dodge were cut in half by William.

Blood splashed out mixed with internal organs, turning into a hellish scene.

Seeing that the enemy would be so brave, Gatlin could only give up the trouble of Soros and confront William head-on.

Gatlin is an eighth-level lion man with great strength. William is also a person with extraordinary talent, and his professional level is even higher than Gatlin. The confrontation between the two is extremely dangerous. Every time the weapons collide, they explode like thunder sound.

But William was surrounded by countless comrades and rode on iron horned horses, while Gatlin was surrounded by only twenty or thirty orc soldiers.

With just one attack, Gatlin has become a loner.

Although he is an eighth-level professional and can use blood spells, but surrounded by three hundred monster cavalry, Gatlin's fate is already doomed.

Gatlin had just blocked the attacks of several professional officers, and immediately showed his flaws.Seeing the opening, William raised the enchanted spear decisively and launched a charge. The huge impact pierced the enchanted armor on Gatlin's body in an instant. Although the eighth-level lion man struggled desperately, he still died in William's hands.

The death of Gatlin greatly affected the morale of the orcs, and the remaining orcs could not organize a resistance, so they panicked and wanted to flee down the mountain.

The orcs had already been surrounded by human legions. Except for a few lucky ones who escaped under darkness, the vast majority of the orcs became prisoners.

After the war, the two armies gathered together and captured a total of 3,200 orcs, including more than 200 orc professionals. Unfortunately, there were no harpies among the prisoners.

Richard has participated in six orc invasions and is a veteran with fifteen years of military experience. He once led his troops to capture the deputy commander of the orc army, but he never captured the harpy.

The casualties between the two armies were not very heavy. The Harland troops led by Soros suffered more than 260 killed and 450 lightly or seriously injured. William's Grizzly Legion suffered heavy casualties, with about 426 killed and nearly 700 wounded.

In this battle, the human army suffered 1,800 casualties and nearly 700 were killed. They completely annihilated the 8,000 orc army, killed the orc deputy commander Gaitlin, and captured 3,200 orcs, winning a brilliant victory. win.

After this battle, the annihilation of half of the orc army turned the balance of victory and defeat by a few points.

After Gatlin's troops were annihilated, the Grizzlies led by William had no time to rest, and letters for help were sent from both east and west.

The west is naturally dominated by Harland. Richard sent a letter asking for help to his father William, hoping to join forces with the Grizzly Army to defeat Kilam's main army in one fell swoop.

The letter for help from the east came from the Dukedom of Jonathan. The troops led by Prince Macmillan could no longer withstand the attack of the two orc legions, so they sent a letter for help to the Grizzly Bear Legion in the rear.

William is Richard's father and a member of the Harland family. Harland is closer to the Grizzlies, so he will naturally support Fort William nearby.Moreover, there are three orc legions in this direction, and the pressure is even heavier.
