A month later, the legion re-recruited by the royal family of the Star Luo Empire took the lead in attacking the orcs under the banner of "revenge".

I thought that they would be a big victory by surprise and push all the way to the orc's lair, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

In addition to the fact that the orcs were indeed pressed and beaten in the first few days, the higher-ups of the orc clan also reacted later and began to launch a counterattack.

At this time, the orc clan could be regarded as truly showing their fangs to the people of the Douluo Continent.

In this war that seemed to be the superiority of the Star Luo Empire, it was also the Star Luo Empire that was defeated and retreated.

The physical fitness and strength of the orc clan are surprisingly strong, even the most ordinary orc infantry often requires the combined efforts of four or five ordinary soldiers of the Star Luo Empire to kill, and during this period, a few will be counter-killed by the orc infantry.

As for the elite orc classes such as the Wolf Cavalry, the Kodo Beast Heavy Cavalry, and the Minotaur Legion, only the elite corps composed of soul masters at the level of the Soul Venerable Soul Sect could compete with them.

The number of orc elite troops is actually not much, but the number of elite troops composed of the Soul Venerable Soul Sect in the Star Luo Empire is even smaller.

After all, if you can become a soul sect-level existence, how can you have no worries about food and clothing, and even if you go to be a guard for the nobles, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, why bother to be a bitter soldier and endure the strict rules of the army?

It can be said that at present, most of the Soul Venerable and Soul Sect soldiers of the elite corps of the Star Luo Empire are good seedlings transferred from ordinary legions, and there are very few who are really recruited from outside to enter the army.

In fact, this is not only the case with the Star Luo Empire, but also with the elite corps of the Heaven Dou Empire.

And with the counterattack of the orcs, the Star Luo Empire was also difficult to parry for a while, constantly shrinking the defense line, and the cities were lost one after another, in such a situation, some principalities and kingdoms that were originally vassalized under the Star Luo Empire were also destroyed.

At this time, the Star Luo Empire finally realized that the orcs were different from the forces they had encountered before, these orcs were the same as the evil soul masters, they could devour the essence of human beings to strengthen themselves, and they could also eat people, and the number of them was larger than the evil soul masters, and the overall strength was also more powerful, which was not something that their own family could fight.

After realizing this, the Star Luo Empire didn't care about the demeanor of the world's number one power and the grudge with the Heaven Dou Empire, and directly asked for help from the Wuhun Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire, and even hoped that the Heaven Dou Empire would send troops to help him drive out the orcs.

As for whether the people of the Heaven Dou Empire will do whatever they want on their own land, they can't control that much.

If this continues, the country will be destroyed, what else can the Heaven Dou Empire do whatever it wants?

However, the Heaven Dou Emperor is not stupid, now there is the Tie Hanhan of the Star Luo Empire blocking the gun in front of him, helping him test the strength of the orc clan, and they rushed in to step on the thunder for the Star Luo people?

With their hatred against the Star Luo Empire, they even wish that the Star Luo Empire would be destroyed.

......

Ye Lan casually threw the information in his hand on the table, with a playful expression:

"Sister, you see what I said is right, the two empires have been sitting in the ruling seat for too long, and they have lost their original temperament, and they are still thinking about infighting. The Heaven Dou Empire even thought about letting the orcs help them destroy the Star Luo Empire, and even forgot the truth that their lips were cold and their teeth were cold, how stupid! ”

Cao Xueyang picked up the information and quickly went through it, and said gently:

"The Snowy Night Emperor is dizzy at this time, but there will always be people who understand, presumably someone will soon remind the Snowy Night Emperor of the stakes involved, it seems that the human alliance you mentioned will soon be born."

Ye Lan shook his head slightly: "Sister, what you said is very right, but I'm afraid that the Heaven Dou Empire won't have that time." You look at the next page, now that the orcs have occupied half of the territory of the Star Luo Empire, and their south is already bordering the border of the Heaven Dou Empire, soon the two sides will have conflicts, and when the time comes, there will be bitter fruits for the Heaven Dou Empire to eat. ”

Hearing Ye Lan's words, Cao Xueyang quickly flipped through the next page of information and found that it was indeed as Ye Lan said.

"However, the upper echelons of the orc clan will definitely not allow their clansmen to provoke the Heaven Dou Empire again, right? The Star Luo Empire has not yet been taken, and it provokes the Heaven Dou Empire, and it is attacked on both sides, what kind of predicament will it face, the high-level of the orc clan will not be unexpected, and it can still be seen from these few military operations that the orc clan has a high-level who understands military affairs. Cao Xueyang said with a frown.

"That's true, but the orc hierarchy can't control everyone. These orcs are gathered together in the form of tribes, and even if all the people are soldiers, it will not be able to do it to the point of prohibiting it.

And the orcs in the south of the orc tribe's territory are far away, and the orc clan's high-level leaders may not be able to control it. They couldn't resist the desire to eat people at some point, so they launched an attack on the northwest border of the Heaven Dou Empire, and when the time came, even if the Heaven Dou Empire wanted to watch the show, they would not be able to do it. ”

Cao Xueyang carefully recalled the social structure of the orc clan, and found that what Ye Lan said was reasonable and could not be refuted.

"In this way, I hope that the orcs will not be able to hold back sooner and then launch an attack on the Heaven Dou Empire. Fighting on two fronts will always make them a little weak, and there may even be a shortage of logistical supplies.

If they waited for them to eat the entire Star Luo Empire before they went to fight Heaven Dou, it would be a matter of time before the Heaven Dou Empire would fall. More seriously, humanity may perish. Cao Xueyang analyzed.

Ye Lan nodded and said, "Sister, what you said is good, so we have to add a fire." ”

"Oh? How to add? ”

"Let Wang Qinian send a few clever disciples to the northwest border of the Heaven Dou Empire and the border with the orc clan, pretend to be the border army of the Heaven Dou Empire, and attack the small camp of the orc clan and let them fight in advance."

Cao Xueyang raised his eyebrows and showed a pleased smile: "Yes, brother, your military vision is still not bad, this method is feasible." ”

In Cao Xueyang's previous life, as the supreme officer of the intelligence department of Tiance Mansion, this kind of military strategy has long been strange, and he will not have any mercy.

In her opinion, the two sides will fight sooner or later anyway, so why not let them fight in advance if they do something?

What Ye Lan said was right in her arms.

"Haha, I can get the praise of General Xuanwei, I have no regrets in this life." Ye Lan laughed.

Cao Xueyang couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Less poor, why don't you go and give Wang Qinian an order?" ”

"Order!" Ye Lan grinned.

........

"Damn, why did these orcs attack us all of a sudden?!"

In the Heaven Dou Empire, somewhere in a military camp on the northwest border, an officer was questioning his subordinates loudly.

He had just received a report from the scouts that thousands of orcs were gathering towards their zone and were about to attack.

The subordinates who were scolded by him were also aggrieved, I am not an orc, how do I know why the orcs suddenly attacked, you ask me, I ask who to go?

The officer noticed the aggrieved little eyes of his subordinates, and also reflected that he was carried away by anger and moved his anger to him.

He walked back and forth a few steps with an irritated face, and said in a deep voice:

"Order, everyone enters a state of emergency combat readiness, without removing their armor and knives! Also, report the news quickly! ”

"Yes!" The subordinate immediately received the order, and after giving a military salute, he immediately ran out of the camp tent to carry out the commander's order.

......

"Sister, how's the situation?" Ye Lan looked at Cao Xueyang holding a stack of love newspapers in his hand and couldn't help asking.

"The plan is very smooth, the northwest side of the Heaven Dou Empire has already fought with the orc clan, because the orc clan does not have many people attacking, so the Heaven Dou Empire still has the advantage. However, the border army of the Heaven Dou Empire also knew the strength of the orcs, and they did not dare to go out of the city to fight hard, and they kept cowering in the city, relying on various fortifications to resist the orcs.

However, the scale of this war will soon expand. The situation on the orc's side is unknown for the time being, but the Heaven Dou Empire's side is constantly increasing troops to the northwest, for fear that the border fortress will be broken, and then they will follow in the footsteps of the Star Luo Empire. ”

Ye Lan bowed slightly, but his face was very calm, for this situation, he and Cao Xueyang had long expected it.

"Is there any movement between the two empires?" Ye Lan asked again.

"Yes. The two empires and the Wuhun Hall have reached an intention and are ready to form an alliance to jointly resist the orcs. At present, they have all sent an envoy to Wuhun City to prepare to sign the contract. The representative of the Heaven Dou Empire is still the crown prince Xue Qinghe, but the Star Luo Empire's side is a little interesting, their representative is Davis, who has been abolished as the crown prince. ”

"Oh? It's interesting, but it's normal. Dai Mubai is still practicing on Seagod Island, he, the crown prince, has left the empire for two years, during which he has not heard from him, and he has not stood up to preside over the overall situation in the autumn of the Star Luo Empire's critical existence, the ministers of the Star Luo Empire are naturally dissatisfied, and it is not impossible for Davis to seize this opportunity to rise again. ”

Cao Xueyang raised the information in his hand with a smile and said, "You are right, according to the information sent back by Wang Qinian, the situation on Xingluo's side is similar to what you just said." Moreover, more than half of the ministers have proposed to abolish Dai Mubai's crown prince and replace him with Davis. ”

"Let them go and toss. Dai Mubai mentioned to a few of us that he doesn't like the kind of life of intrigue all day long, and he won't go back to inherit the unification. Ye Lan shook his head and said flatly.

"By the way, this is an invitation from the Wuhun Palace, inviting you to Wuhun City to participate in the signing ceremony of the Human Alliance contract. This time it was quite grand, in addition to us, the other seven major sects and various forces with Contra level powerhouses have all received invitations to go to Wuhun City together to witness this great moment. Cao Xueyang handed over an invitation and said.

Ye Lan took the invitation, glanced at the contents casually, and said, "Since this is the case, it can't ruin the prestige of my Hidden Sword Villa." At that time, I will go with Nangong Yi and Dongfang Xiong, and in addition, Wentian and the others have also been practicing penance for two years, and it is time to take them out to see the world. ”

"If you decide, I'll support you." Cao Xueyang smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at Ye Lan gently.
