Lionheart, Silver City.

As the largest city in the east of Lionheart, and the top three large cities in the east and west, there are countless leon orcs here, who are physically strong, mentally strong, and have no fear after war.

"After so many years of fighting, Lionheart should also win."

"There are too few soldiers in Tomorrow City, the total population is only more than 10,000, how many soldiers can be raised by that number, 1,000 is almost the limit." The inhabitants of Silver City rubbed their chins and laughed sarcastically at the fighting power of Tomorrow City.

"The expeditionary force is back!"

Suddenly, there was a loud roar at the city gate, and the orcs under the city walls looked up in surprise, their eyes shining with hope.

"They're back, they're back!"

"Quick, call all the neighbors out and stand in two rows to greet the army's triumph!"

The lion orcs ran around the streets excitedly, passing on the return of the lionheart's ** team, and the lion people in the streets and alleys ran out.

In less than a minute, the streets of Silver City were crowded with people, and the people were crowded, looking at the slowly opening city gate.

The gates opened, and a dead lion-man stepped into the gates.

"It's so tragic, the first person who came back in triumph was so tragic."

When the orcs saw the miserable appearance of the first soldier, their excited expressions suddenly stopped, and their expectations were lowered slightly.

Then the second and third soldiers stepped into the city gate together, also covered in blood, half of their wrist equipment had been lost, their breastplate was direct, and the armor on the soles of their feet was full of blood.

The two of them each broke a leg and helped each other to walk, and the walking posture was very slow and painful.

The fourth soldier was leading a horse, he didn't have that much blood, but both legs of the plate were gone, and it seemed that someone else was desperately trying to get him back and put him on the horse.

"No, why are there no better people with fewer arms and legs?"

The orcs' expressions of joy vanished without a trace, and they were terrified in thought.

Some children were blindfolded to prevent them from seeing the barriers.

The people who walked at the beginning were already so miserable, and the people behind them were certainly not much better.

For a full ten minutes, the orcs watched a thousand people return to the city, and they dripped blood all the way, staining the main roads of the black and silver city.

The guards in the city were ordered by the city lord to clear the streets and drive away the orcs who were watching.

Now everyone knows that Lionheart did not return triumphantly, but returned defeated.

"There were 30,000 people when they went on the expedition, and they were so angry at that time, all of them had shiny armor and thick lion beards, and now they had broken arms and legs, and they couldn't lift their heads, alas, ......" The old man in the city shook his head, and went to the restaurant to order a glass of turbid wine, and the more he thought about it, the more sad he became, and he couldn't help crying.

On this day, most of the residents of Silver City cried, seeing their own army return from defeat, the next days would definitely not be easy.

The Silver City Lord personally received this group of defeated troops, and talked secretly with the surviving old generals all night to understand the reasons for this defeat.

"We are defeated, defeated, Tomorrow City and the Minotaur Kingdom will collectively attack us, we really can't hold ......" The old general covered his face with his hands, big tears dripped from his palms, and the old lion man let go of his throat and cried, like a weak child.

The Silver Earl was at a loss, and didn't know how to comfort him.

This time it can almost be called the annihilation of the whole army, the 1,000 wounded soldiers are not much better even if they are applied, the broken arms and legs cannot be repaired, and the post-war psychology is difficult to repair, and it will be a nightmare for the veterans to live if they can't pass that hurdle.

The old general cried all night, and the next day when he talked about military affairs with Count Silver, he was in a much better state and could talk normally.

Only this time the Silver Earl did not hear what he wanted to hear, but heard the old general persuade him to flee.

"Run, run as far as possible, Tomorrow City is too strong, and now he hasn't conquered the whole country because of the lack of ammunition, and when his production comes up, no country can fight them." The old general lamented again and again.

Before, he wondered why Tomorrow City had such a powerful thermal weapon, why he didn't bombard the barracks for a long time.

Now he sat here and reflected, figuring out a key point, which was that Tomorrowland didn't have enough ammunition.

As a result, Tomorrow City was not active enough in the war in the next few days, and it turned into a head-on battle between the Minotaur and Lionheart, and Tomorrow City endured until the last moment before coming out to pick up the leak.

……

Lionheart, the royal palace.

The curtain shook in the wind, and two bearded lion men sat on their thrones, frowning and talking about national affairs.

The king was old, fifty-five years old, he leaned back against the king's chair, he was unable to do anything, occasionally coughed in his lungs, and needed to take a special medicine from the priest's vein to suppress his heart agitation.

The High Priest of the Kingdom sat in his chief priest's seat and used the crisis of the kingdom to persuade the king to use the Lionheart.

"Your Majesty, this is the biggest crisis in the history of our Lionheart, if it is not dealt with properly, the territory of the Lionheart Kingdom will become the world of the Cat Clan in the future......"

The priest spoke bitterly, first suppressed and then raised, and drew a big pie and said: "Although it is dangerous, once we deal with it, Lionheart will be the most powerful country in the future, and thermal weapon war will be the mainstream war mode in the future, which Tomorrow City has been at the forefront, but they have no treasure to protect the country, no foundation for the country, this is our opportunity." ”

The king touched his beard, and he was a little unconvinced, thinking that the high priest had other motives.

It was not until the day after the priest returned to the city that an urgent message came to the king, and the king learned that more than 28,000 of his army had died, and that only about 1,000 were left to recuperate in Silver City, and he fainted with anger on the spot.

"You bastards, you can't beat the city that has been developing for eight months!" When the king awoke, he scolded the high priest of the kingdom.

The high priest's face remained unchanged, and he listened carefully to the king's complaints, and then said when he was angry: "We still have a chance to turn around, Tomorrow City is active in the early stage of the war, but it is not active in the later stage, which means that their ammunition stocks are not enough to fight in the later stage. ”

"We can use the 'Lionheart Sword' to split the city wall, use the remaining lion soldiers to sprint, take Tomorrow City in one fell swoop, and then steal the advanced technology of Tomorrow City, develop thermal weapons for a year or two, and it is not difficult to suppress the two countries of Bull Head and Tiger."

The remaining lion soldiers in the priest's mouth are the last troops of the Lionheart Kingdom, which are the kingdom's guards, border soldiers, and the regular garrisons of various towns.

The king paced back and forth, calculating the remaining forces of the kingdom.

There were 10,000 troops guarding the border of the Tiger Kingdom, 8,000 guards of the royal city, and a total of 10,000 garrisons in various towns.

Bringing together these scattered forces would make it possible to rebuild an army of 30,000 men.

"If we remove the soldiers on the border of the Tiger Country, our western region will be invaded by the Tiger Country." The king said irritably.

"Your Majesty, don't hesitate, the thermal weapons of Tomorrow City are the most advanced weapons in the world, as long as you take them down and absorb their manufacturing technology, it is really not difficult to dominate the world, don't talk about a tiger country when the time comes, you won't be afraid of ten!" The High Priest clenched his fists and said feverishly and frantically.
