Harrensburg, the only access point from the northeastern coastline of the empire to the Harrens Heights.

If Harrensburg falls, the Fedron steppes on the Harrens Heights will face the orcs directly!

The Federon steppe, known as the granary of the empire, is dotted with farms, pastures and orchards on this prairie, supplying nearly seventy percent of the northern frontier of the Locke Empire.

Even Duke Nick did not dare to give up the Federon steppes when he formulated the 'ruins' plan, so you can imagine how important this savannah is to the empire.

Regarding the defense of Harlansburg, Duke Nick gave an order to Viscount Bieber-Donner of Harrensburg: even if he dies with the orcs, not a single orc can be allowed to enter the Harrens Heights.

Viscount Biebel told his vassals and the Knights of Oath: If anyone dares to escape, then I will reunite him and his family in hell before Harrensburg falls.

...

At this moment, Harrensburg has completely turned into a military fortress, the civilians living on the periphery have been evacuated half a month ago, and the noble villa area within the high walls is full of noble generals' families, which is the request of Viscount Bieber, he himself has led by example, the eldest son has died on the banks of the Kemir River, the second son has been drafted into the army as a knight, and all the other knights or nobles of the Donna family who can fight are fighting with the army.

The outskirts of Harrensburg, which had been an endless stretch of bungalows a month ago, have been converted into military forts, and the crisscrossing ditches of the civilian area have been dug nearly five times wider, forming a five-mile defensive line with the converted military forts everywhere.

More than 10,000 peasant soldiers temporarily recruited, 5,000 officers and soldiers of the city defense battalion dispatched from various places, and more than 2,000 oath knights, servants, sergeants and private soldiers of the nobles were stationed in this narrow defense line...

In the past ten days, paladins and priests from churches in Crewe have arrived in Harensburg, and some magician organizations have begun to send their members to support Harensburg.

...

On the Harrensburg frontier, on the lookout with the widest view,

The Great Lord, Viscount Bieber-Donna, held a lookout and observed the orc camp on the Jamici steppe dozens of miles away, where the battle flags were like a forest and the noise was shaking the sky at this moment.

Since last month, when the orcs set up a front-line camp on the Jamici grassland, Viscount Biber has been to the front line on time every day to observe the movements of the orc camp with his own eyes, and the information detected by the scouts has been personally inquired about by everyone.

"The orcs have increased their troops today?" Viscount Bibi subconsciously scratched his head, in order to better fight, he deliberately shaved his head, with his red-edged knight's armor and full beard, he looked like a Twak nobleman.

"Since a week ago, there has been an increase in troops almost every day. Sir Winley, the front-line commander, replied.

Viscount Biber put down his lookout glasses and said, "It seems that the orcs have found a way to pay Colonel Red, and the situation of the Seventh Mixed Legion must be very difficult now... When was the last message from Colonel Fred?"

"A week ago—" Sir Winley looked at the patrol that had just returned from the front line in the camp below, and thought for a moment and said, "A week ago, the last news from the Seventh Mixed Legion was that the Orc Coalition had dispatched an entire banner regiment to encircle them, and at the same time, warned us to be aware of the massive build-up of the Orc Coalition. ”

"Colonel Fred has done a good job, he has less than 10,000 peasants at his disposal, and he is still in the absence of any logistical supplies, we have no right to complain about him. Viscount Biber grimaced, "He's the hero of Crewe. ”

"Heroes," said Sir Winley, grinning, "heroes are usually dead. ”

"I want him to be a living hero. Viscount Biber's tone was solemn, not like a joke.

Winley shrugged, "I'm afraid that most nobles won't want such a hero to appear in the Grace Territory, he is the navy, my lord." ”

"All I know is that he bought us more than a month of precious time, and this is a debt we owe him. Viscount Beearl turned his head to Sir Winley, "My friend, I don't care what the other nobles think, but you must know that Colonel Fred's merits are indelible, this is a fact, an unchangeable fact. ”

"Of course, my lord, I have not denied the merits of Colonel Fred, well, let's skip the question. Sir Winley knew his lord's temperament, so he began to change the subject, "Let's talk about the defense of the front. ”

"Well...," Viscount Biber nodded noncommittally, and he gently wiped the front of the lookout with his armor-studded glove, "As a front-line commander, do you have any good opinions about your defensive line?"

It can be seen that although Viscount Beearl admires Colonel Fred, he is not willing to talk too much about him.

"I think we should add another brigade of archers to the forward positions. "Sir Winley seemed very focused when he was down to business," The orcs are more cautious than I imagined, judging from the past performance, this expeditionary force has never put itself in a disadvantageous situation, so this time, the orcs must be prepared, it can be seen from the troops they have assembled that the orcs want to launch a surprise attack on our defense line with absolute military superiority, and although most of our newly recruited soldiers are veterans, most of them have never experienced a real war, so, at the beginning of the war, we need to use a large number of archers to keep the distance between the two armies. ”

"But we have a limited number of arrows. Viscount Biber proposed: "It is better to use javelins instead, wooden javelins, and there are endless iron trees around us." ”

"Good idea. Sir Winley's eyes lit up, and then he collected his emotions and said, "But this can only stop the orcs for a while, we now need a large number of mages and paladins, as well as fully equipped soldiers, and all kinds of war supplies. ”

Viscount Biber patted Sir Winley's shoulder armor and said, "Don't worry, someone will figure out these problems for us now." ”

"Baron Pedy?" Sir Winley frowned, "I'm afraid he'll get caught up in infighting with the nobles." ”

"Haha. Viscount Beearl laughed, "Have you forgotten Duke Nick? Her Royal Highness the Twak Lord, she is not a simple woman. ”

"I just hope that Baron Pedi will use his authority as soon as possible to send us more soldiers and supplies. Sir Winley raised his eyebrows, "As for the aristocratic merchants who can only talk about their mouths, I only wish they would go to hell sooner rather than later." ”

"My messenger will tell Baron Pedi what we are doing here, and I think he will take care of it. ”

"I hope he understands the importance of Harensburg. ”

...

On the third day of Pedi's return to Kru, on the 14th of August,

Today, Pedi didn't go as usual as he did yesterday, and he pushed it all to Herman, the head of the castle, and Glick, the captain of the Knights' Guard,

There was nothing wrong with that, and that was what the Duchess of Seville had arranged before Pedi returned to Crewe.

And Pedi himself, together with Hades, met with the messenger of Viscount Biber,

At ten o'clock in the morning, in the presence of Viscount Biber's envoy, Pedi signed an order to support Harensburg with 10,000 arrows, and changed the assembly place after recruiting soldiers...

The meeting location has been changed to Hallensburg!

Later, Pedi ordered half of the knights and noble generals of the Knight Guard to go to Hallensburg and set up the headquarters of the 10th and 11th legions of the Krew.

When it's almost lunch,

Pedi received a military report from the Military Intelligence Department from the town of Kwen, and after reading the military report, he turned down the arrangement to have a dinner with several noble businessmen at noon...

On August 2,

The Klan Territory was captured by the Orcs, and Duke Ron ignited the entire Klan City at the last moment, and the direct members of the Zora family, except for a baby who was still in infancy, the rest of the people died in the battle with the Orcs under the Klan City.

Before that, deep down, Pedy had a trace of hatred for Duke Ron himself, because he felt that the entire good situation of the war in the Crane Territory was buried because of Duke Ron's arbitrariness.

The brothers and the 30,000 dead on the banks of the Kemir River, the nearly 20,000 warriors on the Brill Heights, the countless lives that disappeared under the fire at the crossroads of Mount Ariel...

It's all made senseless because of a bad decision!

In the face of these undead, while Pei Di blamed himself, he was more disgusted, because he couldn't understand Duke Ron's choice at that time, but after receiving the news of Duke Ron's death, the little hatred in Pedi's heart disappeared, and at the same time, now as the manager of the Crewe Domain, he seems to be able to understand Duke Ron's feelings at that time.

"Sometimes, standing tall doesn't necessarily mean you can see far. At this moment, Pedi finally understood a little bit of what Archduke Patved meant by writing this sentence in his autobiography.
