After a quiet, tired, but sleepless night, a new dawn dawn dawned on the people of Lancais. The soldiers of the city defense army on the city wall were glad that they had once again welcomed the new dawn, but the thought of another tragic battle that was about to begin, the little excitement in their hearts suddenly disappeared.

As the smoke curls up, people in Lancaste begin to cook their meals, refugees who have fled to Lancaste begin to queue up in an orderly manner, waiting to receive their porridge, and some people help with chores under the organization of the town hall...... In short, all the qiē is well organized, and it seems that there is no war outside at all.

"Hey, did you notice? It's eerily quiet in the orc camp today. A soldier looking out from the city said.

"Shouldn't it be because the siege of the city has failed in the past two days that this 'morning eclipse' will be destroyed?" The other soldier seemed to have some culture and dropped a sentence in his book bag.

"No, it's too quiet." A squad leader of the city defense army saw something unusual.

The sentry at the gate of the orc camp had not moved for a long time, there was no cooking smoke, no sound of wolves neighing and cow roaring, and the flags on the edge of the camp fence were brightly colored and dense, and it was difficult to see the situation inside the camp.

"You are on alert, and I will report immediately." The squad leader made a quick decision and hurried down the city.

"The orc army has withdrawn." Hathaway said with great certainty.

"Impossible, right? They just withdrew? "Bilin. Hegel looked a little unbelievable.

"After two days of siege, they have lost almost half of their men and horses, and most of the supplies have been burned by us."

Hathaway paused slightly, "The city defenses led by the Cordillera are nearby, and if the orc army does not retreat, they will face the danger of being flanked from both sides." ”

I see!

Everyone suddenly realized.

"My lord, in that case, why don't we pursue it?" Thomas. Hawke was a little eager to take the plunge.

"Kill 10,000 people, and hurt yourself 3,000. In the two days of defending the city, there were many casualties among the city defense troops. The most important thing is that if the city is defended, we can still attack and defend. If it's a field battle. Do you think the city defenses will be able to withstand a few charges from the orc army? If you think that their mounts have been damaged and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry has been affected, then you will find that you are completely wrong. Hathaway said sternly.

She agrees to lead the soldiers in battle against the orcs. It does not mean that she is willing to use the blood of the soldiers to forge her success. If you can. All people need not be sacrificed; If not. She wanted to sacrifice more orcs and less of her own soldiers.

"Yes, sir." Thomas. Hauke shuddered. He didn't agree with Hathaway's thoughts, but thought of the powerful combat power of the orcs, and with the strength of the city defense army, fighting a field battle with the orcs was tantamount to a meal!

The evacuation of the orc army made the people of Lancaste City much easier, and while celebrating the victory in the defense of the war, some refugees began to return home one after another, and the reinforcements led by the Cordillera also officially entered Lancastes.

Under the attack of the orc army, the province of Zimbuwe has lost nearly two-thirds of the fertile land, and the army of the emperor and the army under the command of the Grand Duke of Zimbwe have been defeated in front of the orcs.

However, at this time, a city defense army in Lanches City, which was absolutely weak in numbers, under the command of a acting city lord, stubbornly resisted the attack of the orcs, and annihilated thousands of enemies, killing nearly twenty orc priests. Although it was also a defensive battle, it was a fruitful victory. In particular, the fact that the battle was won under the command of a lord is another proof of the foresight of the Emperor and the validity of His Majesty's demand for the fulfillment of the Heidelberg Agreement. Therefore, Fivinel XVIII gave high recognition and praise to this battle, and sent an envoy of the emperor to Salvador. Marquis of Plake, who brought the commendation and commendation of His Majesty the Emperor.

El Salvador. As soon as the Marquis of Plake got off the ship, he was warmly welcomed - in the same way, His Majesty the Emperor needed face, and the soldiers and civilians of Lancastes City needed honor and interests, and even Hathaway very appropriately welcomed and respected this envoy, which made His Excellency the Marquis feel extremely excited and satisfied, and his favorability skyrocketed - after all, Hathaway still had the status of a great magician, and a mere marquis, even if it was the king's envoy, did not necessarily look in the eyes of the great magician.

Enter City Hall, El Salvador. The Marquis of Plake first read out the Emperor's Commendation Decree: Canonization Hathaway. As the Marquis, in addition to recognizing her right to administer and benefit from the city of Lancais, she granted the mountains of Brienia as her fief - that is to say, this was the real entitle of the whole Cordillera to her, and a knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece, and the officers and men of the city defense were also rewarded, and the Cordillera led the city defense army, although there was no direct combat exploit, but it was also highly praised.

However, while the award ceremony was going on, Hathaway had a doubt—it was Lev in the mountains of Brinia. The domain of the Count of Karstair, why did His Majesty the Emperor give it to himself.

At the end of the ceremony, Hathaway presented a message to Salvador. The Marquis of Plake raised his doubts, only to learn that the Count of Karlstay had been stripped of his title and domain for refusing to honour the Heidelberg Agreement.

"Your Excellency the Marquis, the Karlstoy Pavilion is trying to fight against the Empire, I hope you can pacify the mountains of Brienia as much as possible, and Your Majesty hopes to hear the good news sooner or later."

El Salvador. When the Marquis of Plake left, he solemnly told Hathaway, and His Excellency the Marquis did not seem to be very happy to stay in this dangerous war zone, and even the invitation to the banquet was decisively declined, and left by boat overnight.

"You don't look happy, Hathaway." Watching El Salvador. The passenger ship on which the Marquis of Plake was traveling disappeared into the night, and Alia . Fogu looked at Hathaway a little strangely, "Don't you human nobles like to be promoted to the rank of lord and have more land?" ”

"I do like to have a higher title and more land, but I don't like to be used as a gunman." Hathaway said with a gloomy face.

"As a gunman?" Alia. Forgu clearly didn't quite understand.

"There is now an earl in that Briennia mountain, and that man will not willingly give his territory to the earl...... Oh, it's the Marquis, and it's bound to cause a big war. "Bilin. Hegel explained.

"It's not all. The Count of Karlstay was attached to the Grand Duke of Cassef. The occupation of the mountains of Brinia also meant a direct provocation to the Archduke of Cassef, whose majesty the emperor thought that I had been too idle in the Cordillera. Hathaway said dissatisfied.

"Ahem~" Sicconi on the side. Sheldon coughed dryly, he was a Praetorian Guard loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and there was obviously a lot of disrespect for His Majesty the Emperor in their tones, and he was also a little embarrassed.

"Irona, contact Cecia immediately, and ask her to keep an eye on the movements in the mountains of Brienia and take decisive action if necessary." Hathaway commanded.

Fiwenlie XVIII, this is a conspiracy. Hathaway didn't know what was wrong with the head of the Count of Carlstey, and he made such a mistake at such a time, but he was obviously beaten as a bird, and Hathaway was the gun, and the purpose of the bird was probably more to show the Archduke Chesself.

As far as Hathaway estimates, the next reaction of the Earl of Karlsteth is likely to be to defend or fight back while Hathaway is away, and it is unlikely that he will calmly accept the deprivation of his noble status, and in this process, it is not easy to say what means the Grand Duke of Carthaway will take.

After relaying the information back to the Cordillera, Hathaway focused her attention on Lancastes. The commander of the city defense is still Thomas. Hawke, changing the battle is a big taboo, this is also to calm the morale of the army, and Thomas. Hawke's performance in this battle is also remarkable. However, the city hall officials in Lancastes City have escaped quite a bit, and even if those people return, Hathaway doesn't plan to use them again, so she orders Aaron. Baron Jeramie was the Administrator and Acting Lord of Lancastes, and a group of young men were selected from the Cordillera to serve as officials at all levels in Lancastes.

Aaron. Jeramy's arrival quickly got the city running back and forth, with merchants who had fled Lancaste returning and more ships on the docks. However, Hathaway did not think that it was okay to rest easy, and the city defense began to recruit soldiers, and at the same time recruited workers to strengthen the city's defenses - with the geographical location of Lancais, the city could easily be a target for orcs again.

It turns out that the fighter jets of the Orc Empire are very difficult to stop automatically.

After the defeat at Lancais, Reddis's army again attacked the cities along the Buchar River, and seven or eight port cities along the river fell...... Of course, this does not include Lancastes. However, the orc armies finally have a staging post for water supplies, though they are not as convenient as Lancaith City.

The intentions of the orc army were obvious, and in Hathaway's opinion, it was entirely possible that their attempt would have been failed if the Imperial military had made a response plan to the orc's strategy earlier. Unfortunately, most of the Ordgar's generals were stuck in the box, and the battle line along the river was too long to provide timely and effective assistance, allowing the Orcs to succeed.

However, in Hathaway's opinion, this kind of attack by the orcs also made the same problem as the Imperial army, they did not need to occupy so many cities and cause themselves problems in defense. (To be continued......)
