As Count Anse spoke, his right hand gripped the wooden fence of the watchtower,

So, along with Count Anse's words, there was a "click" like a clatter of wood as it was broken, and it was clear that he was excited, but he was trying to restrain himself.

After listening to Count Anse's words, Pei Di subconsciously helped the saber on his waist, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said: "I agree with your plan in principle, but the specific implementation method needs to be formulated by the General Staff. ”

"This kind of thing should be treated as top secret, and if the staff officers are involved, the news that we are going to burn Mount Ariel will spread throughout the barracks in two days. Count Anse said in a resolute tone, "It's a simple matter, it only takes a team of magicians to complete it. ”

Pedi shook his head, his tone equally resolute, "No, this matter is not that simple, we must ensure the scope of the fire, and we also need to evacuate the nearby civilians who have not been evacuated, believe me, without these plans, Duke Ron will not agree to your incineration plan." ”

"You're going to report this plan?" Earl Anse looked at Pedi like a fool, "they can discuss this for a month... Sir, I want to remind you that this is war, and on the battlefield, we need to think about the very simple problem of destroying the opponent, destroying the opponent at all costs, and other than that, don't think about it, don't look at it, because there are many things that will hinder your thoughts. ”

"Are you telling me to ignore the lives and deaths of the 200,000 civilians in Benson Town? You must understand that in the case of Mount Ariel, the use of elemental flames is likely to ignite the entire southeastern area of Banson Town, and even affect the vast forests north of Crane City. Pedy's tone became stiff, and Count Anse's words made him a little irritable.

"Whether it is the evacuation of civilians or the construction of the barrier, it will take time, and it will also require a lot of manpower and material resources, we do not have the time, and it is impossible to gather enough manpower and material resources in a short time, and besides, orc generals are not stupid, once you start digging the barrier, even a fool can guess what you are going to do. Count Anse stared at Pedi, "Sir, in Banson Town you are a major general of the Imperial Army, not an Imperial Baron, nor a deputy officer of the War Department, so, here, you only need to think about how to destroy the 50,000 orcs on the opposite side. ”

A trace of sweat oozed from Pedy's forehead, and these sweats were due to Count Anse's indifferent words and tone, and he stared at the frontline battlefield in the distance and whispered, "So, as a major general of the Imperial Army, do you have to be so cold-blooded?" Although he had seen mountains of corpses, he had not yet reached the level of numbness to life like Count Anse.

"Sir, this is not cold-blooded!" Count Anse's voice suddenly increased, "I know the orcs, they are far more powerful than we imagined, if it wasn't for the wisdom of the Grand Duke of Patved three hundred years ago, maybe it is us, not the orcs, who are in the desert of the Western Continent now."

But most of the nobles of the empire did not know the danger of the orcs at all, before the fall of the Anku fortress, the orcs were just a group of rabble in the eyes of the imperial nobles, and now, the Anku fortress has fallen, and the old duke has died in battle, seeing that the empire's territory is slowly being invaded by the orcs, and the nobles of the empire still think that the orcs can be eliminated at any time,

Look at the reality, my sir, our great Emperor has a great army of 100,000 in his hands, but he holds this army firmly in his hands, and he is unwilling to let it take a step out of Kwen Town!

And again, the main force that fought against the orcs three hundred years ago... What are the Cullens and the dwarven hoplites doing now? The yellow-haired boy named Braderidley, who doesn't deserve the Cliff family name, refuses to send reinforcements to Anku Fortress not because the Duke of Chester was assassinated, but because of a woman,

There's nothing wrong with wanting to be with the woman he loves, but it's wrong that he shouldn't gamble with the safety of the entire empire, he's a complete bastard, the old duke died because of him, and the fortress of Anku fell because of his idiotic pig's head.

There is also the Twak Territory, they are still in the mood to plan the Koren Fortress at this time, the Kru Territory, which has lost nearly a third of its territory under the alliance of orcs and goblins, the Hoko Islands, which are now difficult to protect themselves, as for the Feld Territory, they have to guard against the sudden sneak attack of the elves,

That's the state of the empire as a whole, look at the current empire, my sir!

War is not a duel, nor is it a speech in a knight's class, when I was young, many people said that I was a war maniac, but they didn't know, I loved peace from the bottom of my heart, but I knew that peace was not given by the goddess, peace was a product after war,

Therefore, I tried every means to destroy the orcs, all I wanted was to make the empire no longer have to worry about the attack of the orcs, such a peace is the real peace, only in this way, our descendants will not have to abandon their wives and children like we do now... But no one understands me, they think I'm greedy for credit, they blame me, they curse me behind my back, I never care, I care about how to end this war. ”

Count Anse was very excited, at this moment, he could no longer control his emotions, he took advantage of this time to say a lot of things in one breath, whether it was before, or what is now, and his voice gradually grew louder as his words grew, and at last he was already roaring.

Pedi was a little surprised to see Count Anse's appearance at this moment, but he felt that it was reasonable, he felt the suppressed emotions in the other party from the beginning... Peddy had studied the war eleven years earlier, and he thought to himself that if the empire had fully supported Earl Anse at that time, then orcs would most likely be a thing of the past.

He was able to imagine the situation of the Count of Anse...

Eleven years ago, when the young and idealistic commander of Anku Fortress led his troops to defeat the orcs again and again, and went deep into the heart of the orc tribe to make the orcs tremble, a letter of accountability came to the commander, denouncing his merits to the point of uselessness, and even holding him accountable for interrogation.

What a blow it was,

Pedi could only imagine, but he couldn't feel it.

Soon, Count Anse regained his composure, and he continued: "Do you know what this 50,000 army means to the orcs? It is equivalent to nearly half of the young adults of the two-headed clan, so if the 200,000 civilians of Banson Town are exchanged for the total annihilation of this orc army, then it is equivalent to the empire destroying one-sixth of the comprehensive national strength of the orcs in one breath at the cost of a market town. ”

Pedi listened carefully, he knew how to weigh the pros and cons, to be honest, he was a little tempted by this plan, but he knew very well that in Crane Territory, this kind of plan was not something he could just nod his head to,

So, he needs to think about it.

"Do you have anything else to say?" asked Paddy subconsciously after seeing that Count Anse had no intention of continuing to speak.

Earl Anse shook his head when he heard this, and did not speak.

Pedi nodded, but didn't say anything.

The two were silent for a long time,

Suddenly, in the distance, the orc army horns and war drums sounded at the same time, and at this time, Pedi turned his head to look at Count Anse, "You can let your men start preparing, but how to implement it will have to wait until I return from Crane City." ”

"You're going to Crane City?" Count Anse was stunned, obviously disapproving of Pedy's approach.

"This plan must be discussed with Duke Ron, this is the bottom line, and of course, it is limited to Duke Ron. Pei Di said solemnly, "Besides, as the supreme commander of the Fifth Army directly under the military headquarters, shouldn't he go to meet the supreme ruler of the Klan Territory after taking office?"

Count Anse looked at Pedi strangely, with an incomprehensible expression on his face,

But Pedi didn't explain it again, after all, the concept of a soldier and a nobleman is completely different, and no matter how he explains it, Count Anse may not be able to listen to it.

...

Anku Fortress, the headquarters of the Orc Alliance.

Grand Chief Shikan, Grand Chief Ezeman, and Grand Chief Batu sat on a high platform, and below them, seven of the nine Overseers of the three major tribes were present, and the other two, one in Benson Town, and one in Crewe, commanded the Orc and Goblin Expeditionary Alliance.

Behind the Overseers were the chief priests and members of the staff of the three tribes.

At this moment, two months have passed since the last such gathering, and this time the atmosphere is different from the last time, even if there is no milk wine and food, the joy on everyone's faces cannot be concealed.

The old chieftain Batu, who sat on the throne, scanned the unfamiliar surroundings with cloudy eyes, with a hint of dreamlike confusion on his face, and when he finished looking at the structure of the house, his gaze skimmed over the faces of everyone present, and finally, he stayed on the most calm chief of Shikan.

"Chief Shikan. Chief Batu smiled, "You can preside over today's party, I'm old." ”

As he spoke, the old chief stood up and gave up his place.

Chief Shikan's eyes were half-squinted when he heard this, and he stared seriously at where Batu was sitting just now,

At the same time, all the orcs in the room, including Chief Batuu, were looking at him.

The Great Chief of the Ice Maple Clan, Ezeman Leaned lazily on his seat, his blood-red eyes swept over Chief Shikan and Chief Batu, and at the same time, he shook his head at the people of his tribe silently, and looked at the left side of the room as if unintentionally,

There, there were the three overseers of the Two-Headed Clan, the chief priests, and many of their staff, who looked at the old chief with anxious looks on their faces, but the old chief Batu ignored them.

And on the other side, the orcs of the northern clans, of course, were all excited.

"Step!"

Chief Shikan stood up and walked towards Chief Batu's seat, his footsteps being particularly piercing at this moment.

But in the end, Chief Shikan did not sit in the position of the old chief of Batu, but personally helped the old chief Batu to sit down again, and then he walked to the tiled cowhide map in the middle of the hall and said: "Today is a battle meeting, so there is no wine and food prepared, Chief of Staff Duokun, you talk about it first." ”

Chief Shikan agreed to preside over today's meeting, but did not agree to sit in that position.

"Bright young man. This was the evaluation of Chief Azeman from the bottom of his heart, and his gaze at Chief Shikan couldn't help but pay more attention.

And Chief Batu always had a smile on his face.

The named Duo Kun was stunned at first, and then he came out of the crowd, nodded to the three chiefs, and then glanced at everyone and said, "The latest news, the defenders of the Fortress of Coren have entered the town of Banson, and they have been reorganized into the Fifth Legion of the Empire with Anse Zora in the town of Banson. ”

"I know that those barbarians in the Balu Kingdom are unreliable. Kanjit, the leader of the First Banner Regiment of the Orc Alliance, subconsciously muttered.

"In other words, there is no way for our eastern passage to be opened in a short period of time?" the Northern Clan Overseer Fang frowned.

"Yes. The Great Chief of Shikan took two steps, "Therefore, I propose to send troops to Crane City in advance, and attack the northern defense line of Crane City with absolute superiority, so as to shake the stronghold of Mount Ariel in Banson Town. ”

"Is there a way to keep the Fifth Legion in Benson Town?" asked Grand Chief Azeman suddenly.

"It's almost impossible, from the analysis of intelligence, the top of the empire has long abandoned the Banson Town area, so the Fifth Army may withdraw from the Banson Town area at any time, and it will not fight us head-on for a long time. The Great Chief of Shikan frowned, "Well... Who is the legion of the Fifth Legion?"

Duokun immediately returned: "Pedi Reagan, born in the traditional nobility of the Locke Empire, has a bloodline that is the envy of all the people of the Empire, his father is Nick Reagan, the Prime Minister of the Empire, and his mother is the princess of Twakling,

A few months ago, he was still trained as a paladin in the imperial capital, and after completing his training, he served as an assistant sheriff in the rank of chief of the Imperial Guard, and I heard that during his tenure, he solved the assassination case of the deputy military officer.

On the 5th of last month, he was appointed as the deputy commander of the Koren Fortress Command, and two days later, he was appointed as the supreme commander of the Koren Fortress Command, and during the war with the Balu Kingdom, he annihilated the 50,000 troops of the Balu Kingdom with 10,000 troops in only half a month, although he turned the entire Coron Fortress into a ruin, but his own military losses were less than 2,000 people. ”

"A simple and complex person. Overseer Khalikhan commented.

The Great Chief of Shikan nodded slowly, thought for a few seconds, and then looked at Chief Batu and said, "I suggest that the 50,000 troops of the 1st Banner Regiment, the 6th Banner Regiment, and the 9th Banner Regiment be combined into one place, and the Poison Fang Overseer will lead the frontal advance to Klan City, and attack the front defensive stronghold of Klan City, and the 50,000 troops of the 2nd Banner Regiment, the 4th Banner Regiment, and the 6th Banner Regiment will be led by the Overseer of Hali Khan to advance to the northern defense line of Klan City. ”

"Agreed. Chief Batu didn't think much of it.

Chief Azeman immediately frowned and said, "If you take Crane City directly, Montella Fort in the west will threaten the flank of my main force, so you need to send a force to contain it." ”

"Let the Eleventh Banner Regiment advance a hundred miles west after crossing the Kemir River and establish a stronghold to prevent the raid of Fort Montella. Batu said suddenly.

"Then," Chief Shikan looked at Duokun, "immediately pass on what I have just said into a military order, and after dawn on the 25th, I will receive a military report for the attack on the town of Bywest." ”

"Understood!" Duo Kun nodded solemnly.
