"Is Sir Fred really as shy as a woman?"

Sir Amos, Commander of the Castle Knights and Commander of the 3rd Mixed Army, quipped, "I have heard before that this Sir Fred does not dance with any young lady or lady when he attends banquets, and he sometimes does not even say a word, and many people call him 'Miss of the Boudoir'!"

"Hahahaha"

There was laughter in the tent.

However, Pedi, who sat on top of the manager, did not smile, he calmly looked around at the laughing generals, and the unbridled laughter soon stopped under his gaze.

When the generals realized their mistake and bowed their heads in embarrassment, Pedy said lightly: "Regarding the list of candidates for the director of the Northern Defense Bureau, I would like to hear Sir Fred's opinion. ”

"Understood!" Morinda took the errand.

In the silence of the generals, Pedi opened another report from Eloke.

"Your Majesty, since our huge army has been assembled here, I think it is important to put an end to the ravages of the undead legions in the Elok Territory as soon as possible. Elven General Drahir took the opportunity to speak, "The second batch of reinforcements from the Mage Tower will arrive in El Luk City in three days at most, and that is the perfect time for us to destroy the 'Death Fortress' to the west in one fell swoop. ”

"The defeat of the Undead Legion led by Elok is a foregone conclusion, and our most critical war right now is in the northern Tyr area, and I think we can ignore the Undead Legion in the west for now. "At the moment, the situation on the Suk Plain has not been completely stabilized, and the defense of Tyre Town only looks relatively tight, but in fact it is not vulnerable at all. ”

"I agree with Sir Blaise!" Hades looked at the king, who was listening carefully, "At this moment, around the town of Tyre, the army of the Suk Plains is frantically destroying all our communication arteries to the town of Tyre, and the longer our war with the undead army drags on, the more bridges and roads will be destroyed. ”

Hades, as the former Chief of Staff of the High Command, was well aware of the war in the territory of Iruk, and under the watchful eyes of the king and other generals, he introduced in quick words that he had honed during his time as chief of staff: "The town of Tyre is surrounded by hills and rivers, and the roads are numerous and mountainous, and the only open area is cut off by the wide Minodo River. ”

"After occupying the southern defensive line of Tyre, General Bowenright intended to build guard tower defenses at several key points in Tyre to ensure the safety of the main communication arteries. Hades let out a cold breath, "But since the end of last month, the Suke Plains have suddenly understood the importance of these places, and sent heavy troops to attack the area of the watchtower we are building. The front in the area of Tyre Town has been suppressed to the vicinity of the southern line of defense. ”

Pedi listened quietly, his eyes subconsciously looking at the military map that was stretched out on his side.

As early as the end of last month, Pedi had received this report, but he did not pay enough attention to it at the time, because Bowenlet had at least 50,000 Kingdom troops in his hands, plus the local army led by Elok and the troops of the Mage Tower, which was enough to deal with the sudden counterattack of Tyre.

However, later because of the annexation of the Iruk Territory to the Kingdom, in the negotiations, in order to prevent accidents, Pedi asked the military headquarters to order the disbandment of the two local legions of the Iruk Territory and confiscate all the weapons and equipment in the Iruk Territory. At the same time, the Mage Tower also negotiated the transfer of their garrison to the southern part of the Eluk Territory to clear the suspicions of the Kingdom authorities.

So, for the past month or so, the only force that has actually defended Elok is Bowenley's 50,000 troops, and these 50,000 troops have to prevent the undead army from the west and fight with the army of Tyre around the southern line.

"General Draxier!" said Pedi casually, pointing to the western part of the El Luk territory on the map, "Your troops are going to take over the war of Sir Bowenright in the west of Tyre, and they will leave tonight." ”

Drahir's eyes lit up, "Then I'll leave now." ”

"You can too. "Pedi acted very flat, as if they were talking about a very small thing.

When Lundin-Reagan heard the conversation between the two, his old face was surprised, and he couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty, the transfer of the army is not a trivial matter, you..."

"I know exactly what I'm doing, my dear uncle. Pedi smiled and said, "Why are you bothering about where to fight first?" he looked around, "I have 200,000 troops in my hands now, and with the help of the Mage Tower allies, we can fight on two fronts at the same time." ”

As he spoke, Pedi looked at Edwin Filin, who was standing at the head of the Morinda, "I believe that with the current logistical capabilities of the kingdom, we can fully support us to fight at the same time in the western part of the Eluk territory and the town of Tyre. ”

"Absolutely!" Edwin Film's words have always been so succinct lately.

"I hope to end the war with the Western Undead Legion within half a month. Pedi made his own request as Drahir was about to step down.

"Ten days is enough!" Drachier said, stepping back quickly.

Pedi looked at the departing Drachir with a faint smile, and when the other party lifted the curtain and walked out of the camp, he looked at all the remaining generals and said, "Everyone, you should also go down and get ready, although this place is quite good, we have to move..."

...

In the orc camp, the military order to open has been issued, and the entire camp is busy sorting out and checking the equipment carried by the army. In the camp captain's tent, Wolf Ma was carefully wiping his axe, when suddenly a cold wind poured into the tent and an old orc walked in from outside.

"Father, why are you here?" Wolf Ma looked at his father in surprise, and in his intuitive sense, he thought that his father would not appear in his tent at this time.

"Come and see you, and talk to you by the way. Morinda couldn't help but have a smile on his face as he looked at the steel battle axe in his eldest son's hand and at the knight's armor he was wearing.

But soon, the smile on the old orc's face disappeared without a trace.

"Do you know why His Majesty chose to let General Yudrahir take the lead in the undead army?" asked Morinda looking at his son very seriously.

"There are rumors in the camp that the undead legion led by Illuk has long been vulnerable, isn't this a credit given to us?" Wolfma wondered, "or... Is there something else going on here?"

"Vulnerable?" Morinda let out a breath and shook his head helplessly, "Bowenwright has the most elite army of 50,000 in the kingdom in his hands, plus the magic puppet army of the Mage Tower and the powerful army of magic warriors, but the undead army still exists. ”

"That's what you call vulnerability?"

"Are you saying that the Undead Legion is still very strong?" Wolf Ma's face turned ugly, "Your Majesty is planning to send us to death?"

"It's not... How could you have such an idea?" Morinda stared at his eldest son seriously for a few seconds and asked, "What kind of troops are the mixed Fifth Army composed of?" He asked himself: "In addition to our thousand people, there is also a dinosaur cavalry regiment composed of goblin immigrants, as well as three regular regiments provided by the Balu people, plus a regiment of Drahir himself. ”

"Do you think you can really take the 'Death Fortress' to the west with this army?"

"What do you mean?" asked Wolfma, puzzled.

Morinda sighed and said, "Don't you notice that our army has a very special mood at this moment?" Without waiting for Wolf Ma to answer, he himself said: "From the supreme commanders of the various army groups to the most ordinary soldiers and laborers, they are all full of confidence in this war, as if this war has been won. ”

"Isn't it good to have self-confidence?" Wolf Ma was stunned, "I have also experienced countless major battles, but I have never encountered a time when the troops have such morale as they have now. ”

"Yes, self-confidence is good, but overconfidence turns into conceit. Morinda shook his head, "And the confidence in the army has obviously turned into conceit, and anyone as calm as General Dragier would fall into this conceit, let alone others?"

"This war is not as simple as you think, otherwise Your Majesty would not have used half of the country's strength to fight this war, do you think the money in the treasury really came out of the ground?" Morinda opened the tent and looked at the busy figures of the soldiers outside.

"Then what does Your Majesty want to do?"

Morinda had a smile of relief on his face at the moment, "We are lucky, because Your Majesty is one of the few people who remains awake among all of them, and he has found the impetuous aura of this army from the moment he entered this barracks, and he has found the overconfident emotions in the hearts of the soldiers. ”

"You mean that this attack on 'Death to Death' will fail?"

"Yes, but you don't have to worry. ”

"Don't worry about that? He... Your Majesty, this is for us to die!" the anger erupted from Wolf Ma's blood-red eyes was obvious.

"So Your Majesty chooses Draxier. Morinda soothed his son's anger, "Drahir is not stupid, and he doesn't have any burdens within the kingdom, and he won't hold on like other generals who know they can't do it." ”

"But I hate failure. ”

"It's not terrible to lose for a while, as long as you win in the end. Morinda smiled, "So, your task in this war is very simple, that is, to bring all the people back as much as possible. ”

"I have never been in such a war. Wolf Ma frowned, "A war that you know will fail, but you still have to go to the battlefield. ”

"This is human beings, they like to fight with their brains, not with their strength. Morinda language carries a didactic connotation, "And today's kingdom has both great power and a wise head." ”

...

On the night of December 27, the Fifth Army of the Kingdom Army, which had assembled in the eastern part of the Iruk Territory, suddenly moved out without warning in the cold wind.

On the morning of the 30th, the Fifth Army, which arrived at Iruk City, completed the change of defense with the Fourth Army stationed there as quickly as possible. In the afternoon of the same day, the main army of the kingdom stationed in the eastern camp of Elok marched towards Elok City with great momentum.

On January 3rd, the arrival of the New Year's Winter Festival, the army of the Kingdom of Kruria marched into Elok to spend a simple holiday in the city.

In the afternoon, news came from the western territory of Iruk that the vanguard army sent by Drahier, the Goblin Dinosaur Cavalry Regiment and the Undead Legion, were engaged in an offensive and defensive war in the defense area fifty miles east of the 'Death Fortress'. Two hours after the battle, a thousand orc reinforcements arrived, forcing the undead legion to retreat.

The next morning, Bowenwright's 'Tyre Town Strategy Plan' arrived at Pedy's desk.

Pedi looked at Bowenley's plan of attack, agreed to it without consulting anyone, and then ordered the 6th Heavy Infantry Army to move towards the 'Southern Line'.

Bowenlet's plan of attack was simple, with the kingdom's strong army, he forced his way forward to tear through the deep defensive line set up by the Sukh Plain on the outskirts of Tyre.

In his plan, the units of the Fourth Army would strike simultaneously, attack different defensive positions along the defensive line of the town of Tyre, and send enough labor to repair the bridges and roads along the way.

This plan may seem very simple on the surface, but it is very complex in practice.

First of all, this plan had to be supported by a large army, so Pedi agreed to the battle plan and immediately sent the 6th Heavy Infantry Army to the southern defense line, and secondly, it needed a strong enough logistical supply, because fighting on multiple fronts meant huge attrition, and building roads and bridges required countless sand, boulders, and magicians.

In this plan, about 50,000 troops will be required at the beginning alone, and the daily war consumption of this huge army will be an astronomical amount. To this end, the Logistics Service of the Command Headquarters has set up a special team to account for the funds for the battle plan provided by Bowen Wright.

After Bowenley's plan was adopted, the Fourth Army, after a short period of rearmament, launched an offensive on the morning of 18 January against the Suk Plains Army, which was entrenched on the periphery of the southern line. Within a day, Bowenright commanded his Fourth Army, covering all fronts outside the southern line.

Just when everyone's eyes were on the battle in Tyre, the lesser-known Iruk Territory's Western Theater of Operations, the Fifth Army under Drachir's command also advanced the front to the periphery of the 'Death Fortress'.

Perhaps because the ten-day guarantee date had long since passed, Drahir was very anxious to attack the 'Death Fortress', and he only relied on the intelligence of half a month ago, and launched an attack on the outer defense line of the 'Death Fortress' without any reconnaissance and exploration.

Under the dim and low sky, soldiers on both sides fought for two days and two nights on the crimson and corrupt earth. However, D'Rahir's men did not achieve the superior victory that everyone had expected, and even had to retreat twenty miles back for repairs at the end of the battle.
