While the armies of the Orc Empire and the armies of the Odiga Empire were fighting on the front line, the Cordillera City Defenses led by Hathaway had already entered the rear of the Orc army.

Due to the detailed intelligence and effective cover, the number of Cordillera city defenses, equipment, and even their numbers were unknown to the orc army, and in the eyes of most people, this was still an attack tactic on the part of the Odida Empire, and it was not worth mentioning.

While the special operations team and the assault team were fanning the flames, Hathaway held a meeting in her headquarters.

Hathaway's headquarters is a mobile headquarters, a giant wagon, to be exact.

This is a specially crafted carriage, not to mention the defensive power, Hathaway is impossible to put herself in danger, and this carriage is larger than a normal carriage, and it is no problem to carry dozens of people. Due to the use of a magic levitation device, although the body of the carriage is huge, it is a few points lighter than the carriage of a normal carriage, so only three horses are used for driving.

The carriage is divided into two parts, with Hathaway resting in the back and the conference room in front. On the floor of the carriage, supplemented by a thick carpet, in the middle is a huge sand table, on which the march route and the current situation of the enemy and the enemy are marked. These annotations change as the situation changes, and there is a constant stream of scouts who come and go to report the latest developments.

Around the carriage, there was a guard of lords, composed mainly of orcs. But the people who are really responsible for the security of Hathaway and Command are four people.

Orana and Dennington, the barbarians who came to the Shura forces; Stilwell. Ponson, the Lord of Shadows, has always been Hathaway's most trusted bodyguard; Alia. Fogu. The dwarven girl had already formed a strong friendship with Hathaway.

Although these men are of different races and the work of defending is boring, Stilwell. Pang Sen took the initiative to selflessly provide his experience, and the four of them studied martial arts together, which was also very beneficial, and the martial arts improved, especially the four of them often abused those soldiers of the pro-guard team, and called it 'fighting'.

Of course, Hathaway unequivocally condemned the atrocities of these four men. He also called on the vast number of soldiers to resolutely fight back. And for those who are effective in counterattacking, they will be rewarded heavily...... Of course, there were not many such opportunities, and the soldiers' counterattacks were repeatedly suppressed. As a result, the 100 meters of the headquarters area has almost become a place where no one can approach. The special operators who were willing to wander around the neighborhood. In addition to having operational meetings. I can't even see a shadow.

Of course, during this period, the overall combat effectiveness of the guard has also increased a lot. And they were sent out to carry out several assault operations nations, and the mission was very successful, at least they no longer had to envy the city defense troops who repeatedly captured the spoils of war.

On the tenth day of the assault, Hathaway summoned all the commanders for a combat meeting.

"Can anyone say what our intentions are in the ten-day dragnet assault?" Hathaway asked, leading the group to the sandbox.

"Yes...... To attract the main force of the orc army? A staff officer of the army said hesitantly.

These so-called staff officers of the army are actually trainees of the base, they are going to the army for internship, after all, this battle is a rare opportunity to practice, and with their strength, if they go to the front line for internship now, it is purely to send them to death, so Hathaway will keep them by his side.

"Hah! Ha! "Jayfar. Troon and the others laughed.

"It's a big joke to be able to mobilize the main force of the orcs with this kind of assault!" Barthes. Willie criticized mercilessly.

"Yes, Instructor." The little staff officer immediately lowered his head.

Don't say Barthes. Willy's official position, almost all the people present went to the base to give them lessons, even if they beat them up, they had to endure it honestly.

"Jerry, even if we capture Tammo or Zimbuwe, the main orc forces hoarded in Salem City will not attack us."

Jafa. Troon was more kind, and seeing that his junior was embarrassed, he stood up and explained: "Because the most important strategic goal of the main army of orcs at present is to eliminate the main force of the empire in Zimbwe Province, unless we can pose a fundamental threat to them, Liszt. It is impossible for the Rhine to transfer a single soldier to this area. ”

A thoughtful expression appeared on the face of the little staff officer, and Hathaway clapped her hands to draw people's attention back: "Okay, let's not change the topic and continue the discussion." ”

"The main force of the orc army in Salem City is not, but what about the orc army in other directions? There are 60,000 or 70,000 orc troops stationed in Zimbwe and other big cities, and hundreds of thousands of orc immigrants entering the entire province of Zimbuwe, will they tolerate us raiding everywhere along the way? "Sicconi. Sheldon asked.

Of course they won't tolerate it, but this kind of reaction is very limited...... At least until we take Tanmo, there will be no pressure from these enemy forces. Hathaway said.

"Why?" Sicconi. Sheldon was skeptical.

Judging from the assault operations in the past two days, the orcs reacted much faster, and some tribes have begun to take the initiative, bringing a lot of uncertainty to the assault.

"Quite simply, first of all, our assault was planned, along the way both to achieve strategic objectives and to effectively hide the traces of our troops, so that the enemy could not determine our numbers; Second, if we retreat with all our might, we can quickly withdraw to the Empire's controlled districts, either by water or by land, and they will not do their best to take military action under the constraints of all uncertainties. Hathaway said.

"Then why did they attack after we crossed the Tammo?" The little staff officer named Jerry asked.

"First, please don't think of orcs as stupid as you are; Second. No matter how stupid a person is, if he is beaten once, he will become shrewd; Thirdly, if our army occupies or crosses Tammo, they can adopt the method of encircling on all sides, limiting the mobility of our army, and forcing us to retreat to the Imperial-controlled area in time. "Barthes. When Willie reprimanded these students, he was absolutely unkind.

"Yes, Instructor." Jerry nodded hurriedly.

"To sum up our military operations so far, it can be summarized in eight words in a high degree!"

Hathaway said: "It's to be courageous, to train, to run in, and to find out!" ”

This eight-character summary made everyone reminisce, and the commanders and officers basically realized the two points of training and running-in, so there is no need to say anything. As for courage and bottom-up, many people don't understand what it means.

"What does it take to fight those orcs?"

Moko, the captain of the Barbarian Brigade, said disapprovingly, as the most heroic and warlike clan on the continent, he was qualified to speak like this.

Because of the time relationship, Hathaway only recruited three brigades of hoplites from the barbarians, while Moko was from the Tianhuo tribe, not to mention his outstanding personal strength value, and had good coordination and organization skills, which was also a rare and valuable talent among the barbarian warriors, and the other two brigades were also from relatively large tribes.

"Captain Moko, for the barbarians, you are born warriors, fighting all kinds of harsh natural environments in the mountains all year round. But most of the soldiers in the city defense headquarters were new soldiers, who were engaged in agricultural production in the fields half a year ago, and the sharpest weapon they had come into contact with was the sickle. Although they have undergone rigorous training, they must also be emboldened with the blood of orcs and the battles one after another, turning their military training into practical skills. Hathaway said with a smile.

"Jerfa, what is your explanation for what adults mean by 'getting to the bottom of things'?" Barthes. Willie suddenly asked the special operations captain.

"Your Excellency is touching the bottom of our attack troops, and looking at the combined combat strength of each unit. What kind of journey can be achieved! ”

Jafa. Troon thought for a moment and said, knowing that this was the exam question given to him by the former instructor, and said in a surprising voice: "Moreover, the lord is also letting the orcs touch our bottom." ”

Let the orcs touch our underground!

Several mid- and lower-ranking officers who attended the combat meeting for the first time looked at each other, but Hathaway, Barthes, and Barthes. The expressions of Willy and the others were very satisfied.

"Jefa, tell me what we're going to do next?" Hathaway asked with some encouragement.

"Yes, sir."

Jafa. Troon cleared his throat and said, "According to my analysis, the news of our large-scale assault in the past ten days should have caused the orcs to have three reactions!" First, the orc tribes near Danmo City, under the pressure of the assault, a small number fled to Zimwe City, and most of them gathered towards Danmo City. ”

Nonsense, this is a fact that has already been confirmed by aerial reconnaissance.

The migratory tribes of the orcs had organized several counterattacks, but they were all broken up by the city guards, and most of the orc migrants had already taken evasive action after realizing that they did not have enough strength to stifle the assault.

"The second reaction of the orcs was to send the news of our large-scale assault to Liszt. In the ears of the Rhine,"

Jafa. Troun continued: "Considering their overall strategic objectives and how we've been doing it these days, he must have thought that this was just a big raid to contain him. ”

Hathaway and the others all nodded slightly.

Because of the lack of intelligence, Liszt. It is impossible for the Rhine to know that it was the Cordillera City Defence that attacked...... Even if he had guessed, he could not have imagined that Hathaway would send nearly 10,000 troops, and the goal was not only to harass them.

In fact, Hathaway's operation was not even clear to the Empire, and she did not expect the active cooperation of the Imperial army.

"The third reaction of the orcs was when the orcs near the city of Zimbwe learned the news. There will be forces ready to meet us. ”

"How powerful will the orcs have to meet us? Where will they fight with us? "Barthes. Willie continued. (To be continued......)
