On November 13,

Inside the forward orc command post outside of Twak City.

Overseer Perryth stared gloomily at a map of the city of Twak, densely marked with the deployment of our forces in each district.

This brutal street battle had been fought for more than half a month, and Pereth did not see the slightest hope of victory in the battle, and the morale of the army was declining day by day, and rumors about the three chieftains of Shikan, Batu, and Azeman had long spread throughout the barracks.

Pereth knew that if nothing changed, sooner or later the army would mutiny.

But what can be done now?

In the entire command post, there was only Peris, and the chief of staff, Kabe, was supervising the battle on the front line with the officers of the command post.

Under the dancing candle flame, Perrith looked lonely and lonely.

"Whew"

The cold wind suddenly poured into the room, blowing the flames in the fireplace that were about to be extinguished, and the door of the command post was pushed open, and a young orc dressed as a battlefield scout stood in the doorway, he lowered his head and held a military newspaper and walked into the room at great speed, and then placed the military newspaper on the wooden table closest to Pereth at great speed.

Sitting on the map, Peris instinctively glanced at the latest military report, and then ignored it... On that wooden table, the same military newspaper filled the entire table, and the contents of it were good and bad, either capturing a certain block or losing a certain position.

"Is it really the only way to give up Twak City first?" Pereth muttered to herself.

Actually, Perres was more sober than anyone else, it wasn't that he couldn't listen to advice, he just didn't want to listen to what he had already estimated, and now he didn't have time to explain and rehearse his subordinates like he used to.

Fort Tulbuk has fallen for almost ten days, and the logistics supply of the troops can last for a maximum of half a month, and the reloading weapons necessary for the siege will be consumed for another five days at most.

These questions are all plaguing Peris.

At the same time, the news from the Human Empire is also telling Peris that an unprecedented chaos is about to unfold, and Peris knows that Shikan will not let go of this opportunity, and the other party will take advantage of this chaos to attack himself, and similarly, he is also waiting for this chaos to come... This was a plan that had been made a long time ago, but now the purpose of the plan has changed.

"Time is running out. Pereth's tone was full of helplessness.

It's time to make a decision.

Pereth raised her head, her sloppy gaze began to gather, and finally landed on the Flower Stone Fort in Twak City on the map.

On the map, the last wall of the castle left made Perris hesitate again, because the city was very important to his planned battle, and he needed it as a large rear and a stone ridge for a head-on showdown.

Besides, if you retreat at this time, Shikan's army suddenly kills, this is a mortal situation.

What to do?

Pereth was in a dilemma.

The choice must be made carefully, because it is directly related to the survival of his entire army.

"Overseer, Cize-Devin of the Kingdom of Gondwak asks for an audience. ”

Just when Peris was confused, the voice of the pro-soldier outside the door suddenly came.

"Nishizawa Dewen?" Perreth was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Let him in." ”

The door opened, and Nishizawa Devin, cloaked in a black bearskin cape, swaggered into the room, trying to look like a king.

"Dear Overseer Pereth. Nishizawa-Devin nodded slightly.

"Sit down. Perris casually pointed to a chair next to the wooden table full of military newspapers, "Do you have anything to do? If we still ask for the withdrawal of troops, we have nothing to talk about." "Although, he himself is thinking about retreating, but he will not show it.

"Fort Turbuk is the only supply area that can sustain us in the fight. Nishizawa-Devin wrote, "You should pay attention to the fall of Fort Tulbuk." ”

"I took it very seriously, and I even sent my most elite Seventh Flag Regiment. Pereth stared at Nishizawa Dewen in front of him, "Isn't the strength of the two Banner Regiments enough to help you retake Fort Tulbuk?"

"You should have your report on the intellect around Fort Turbuk. Nishizawa Dewen suppressed the sullenness in his heart, "Or rather, your report gave you news, but you didn't pay attention at all, and you only have Twak City in your eyes now. ”

Peris's eyes froze, "Are you accusing me?"

"I'm just reporting back to you. "At the southern entrance to the Fort Turbuk area, there are two legions of Imperial Elite in front of the Corvey Woodlands, and it is impossible for your two banners to break through this line. ”

"Huh?" Perrith suddenly remembered something in his mind, and hurriedly asked, "Crewe's reinforcements?"

"Yes, the main legion that has just defeated the Orc Expeditionary Force. "At the same time, after one of the banner regiments we sent to the east of Twak City to block the reinforcements of the Crewe Leader was brought back, the 11th Regiment of Kruli there was also moving towards the Corvey Glades at a very fast speed. ”

Pereth wiped his cheeks with a large pair of hands after listening to Nishizawa Dewen's explanation, and then fell into deep thought, and the old king continued: "If you are suspicious of this information, you can have your report checked, I think they must have reported it to you a few days ago. ”

"If we want to break through the entrenched defenses of the three legions of the Empire in a short time, we will have to invest at least twice as many troops. Pereth was already aware of the seriousness of the matter at this moment, "If you lose the war, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"Of course I do. Cize-Devin nodded, "I also need to remind you that the nearly six hundred thousand civilians of Twak City have now been relocated to the vast plains east of Bolenburg, do you know what that means?"

"Our enemies will have at least 100,000 troops to replenish, as well as a large labor force. Pereth's face finally changed, and he stared at Nishizawa Dewen, "What about your solution?"

"Take back that castle before the enemy gets a foothold at Fort Turbuk!" said Nishizawa-Devin, "that's our only foothold." ”

"Is this your plan?" Pereth was a little disappointed.

"No, if that's the case, I won't come to see you. "Last night, we sent back a message from the outpost we planted in Twak City, and they have succeeded in convincing one of the important ministers next to Yarbowen that if you need it, I can bring you the head of Yarbowen tonight!"

"What do I want the head of Albowen for?" Pereth suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, "I want him to open the damn gates for me. ”

"Alborin is now personally guarding the city walls, and only by killing him first will he have a chance to open the city gates. ”

"So what are you waiting for, kill him, kill him now. ”

Nishizawa-Devin stubbornly said: "But before we can do that, we have to retake Fort Tulbuk. ”

"This city will be your capital from now on!" Pereth promised, suggesting that Turbuk Fort was nothing compared to the city.

"My Honorable Overseer, the city of Twak is now in ruins?" "Cize-Devin stood up, "We've wasted almost a month here, and most of the supplies in this area have long been emptied... It's November, winter has arrived, and you should know what winter means for the upland steppes. He took a deep breath and said helplessly, "If we can't survive this winter, even if we get Twak City, we will soon be left with nothing." ”
