When Rhine receives the battle report from the Twilight Forest, the current king of the Stormwind Kingdom is enjoying himself with his wife and children in the back garden of the palace. Rhine smiled happily as he watched the babbling Varian learn to walk by himself as he was helped by the queen.

However, such a beautiful picture and good mood disappeared without a trace at the moment of seeing the battle report.

The first close encounter with the orcs ended with the victory of Wang ****, and the battle report was clearly written - Wang **** completely annihilated the enemy. Looks like good news, provided there is no second half.

After the battle, the casualties were counted, and the generals of Wang **** were shocked to find that the battle loss ratio between their side and the orcs was close to one to one. That is the result of the overall superiority of one's own equipment, superiority in numbers, and superiority in the allocation of troops. With so many advantages, it stands to reason that the other party should be beaten, and I never wanted to fight a one-to-one battle loss ratio.

That's just the number of casualties, if you add those wounded, the battle loss ratio is not one to one, you must know that the wounded are often much more than the number of killed.

"Victory? They still have the face to say that they are victorious, and I think it is about the same as defeat. ”

Rhine was furious.

It's just dealing with a group of uncivilized primitive people, the elite of the dignified ****, the division of a hundred battles that he has high hopes for, handed in such an unsightly report card, and he was so angry that Rhine vomited blood. If it weren't for the fact that he knew that the battle reports on the front line could not be faked, and the generals who led the troops did not dare to write about such a matter, he would have wondered if it was the people of the noble council who were making trouble and deliberately exaggerating the combat power of the orcs in order to force himself to give up on dealing with Karazhan.

"Impression Crystal, don't tell me that this battle is not recorded, I want to see for myself how the warriors of the kingdom fought against those barbarians."

The Impression Crystal is a magical item that can record specific images, and since it was invented by magicians, it has been used to record wars, and the monarchs of the kingdom use it to supervise the generals in front of them so that they do not lie about the military situation, and the generals also hope to make the monarchs in the rear have a correct understanding of their enemies, and avoid the appearance of random ideas in the rear.

After watching the whole battle, Rhine's face not only did not change back to normal, but turned iron.

It can be seen from the battle record that in this battle, Wang **** did not make any mistakes, and these soldiers who participated in the battle are worthy of the name of elite, they are not heroic against the enemy, and they simply blocked the opponent's offensive in the face of the crazy attacking orcs, which brought the first victory against the orcs.

However, it is precisely because Wang **** plays normally that Rhine will be like this.

The elite of the kingdom is still fighting like this under normal play, and the horror of the orcs can be seen.

If you think about it carefully, if Wang **** didn't have a huge advantage in equipment - the orcs are no different from beggars compared to them, and the number of people is several times that of the other party, the outcome of this battle will definitely fall.

Before this, Rhine never thought that the orcs would be so strong in combat, and the orcs were more than a step stronger than the gnolls, who were also barbarians. There are not too many orcs like this, they only need to gather one or two thousand warriors, and they will become the great enemies of the Stormwind Kingdom. With the Orcs raiding the Twilight Forest, the kingdom only needs to concentrate on expanding eastward, and the gnolls of the Red Ridge Mountains who only need to be defeated are all right and happy are gone.

And it was none other than the lord of Karazan who released such a formidable enemy as the Orcs.

Rhine hated and said, "Elan, Elan, you hateful fellow, I will kill you, I will kill you." ”

Believing that the orcs were the culmination of the Rhine's hatred that Ainan had released to warn and embarrass him, he gritted his teeth like a beast that chose to devour people.

"Wow, wow......"

Rhine's anger made the atmosphere in the whole back garden oppressive, and adults could be patient, but children could not. The babbling Varian cried out loud and complained about his father's atrocities.

Seeing that his precious son was scared and crying by himself, Rhine patted his forehead in annoyance, restrained the anger in his heart, and gave the queen a look. The latter understood, coaxing Varian as he headed for his dormitory.

"I think I should go meet Vortagen."

After giving a word to the waiter, Rhine left the back garden.

Not to mention that the battle took place in the Twilight Forest, which was the territory of the noble council, and any disturbance could not be hidden from them, even in the Egwen Forest, the news that the elite of the king **** had experienced a bitter battle could not hide it from some people. Since he couldn't hide it, he simply went generously, and after calming down, Rhine felt that it was not necessarily a bad thing that the orcs had a strong combat power far beyond expectations.

Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, it depends on how you use it.

Sitting in front of Vortagen, Rhine pointed to the Impression Crystal and said, "I'm sure you've seen it, you don't have anything to say to me?" ”

Vortagan didn't even look at the crystal, and as Rhine said, he had a copy of the record of that battle that Rhine had in his possession. Long before Rhine came to the door, Vortagan knew what kind of beings appeared in the Twilight Forest, and the powerful combat power of the orcs surprised everyone.

To tell the truth, Rhine's purpose for finding himself was very clear in his heart, didn't he just want the noble council to side with him and put pressure on Karazan together. This kind of thing...... Well, this kind of thing really needs to be thought about.

In the past, the noble council disagreed with Rhine, dragged Rhine back, and tried to prevent Rhine from doing something to Karazhin, not because of the deep friendship between the members of the noble council and Ainan, but because of interests.

The nobles of the kingdom were a community of interests, and they enjoyed various privileges, many of which would hinder the interests of the royal family. With a conflict of interest, the contradictions between the nobles and the royal family naturally arise. It's just that the royal family of Urion has always been worried about the huge power of the noble council, and they don't dare to make big moves, at least on the surface, but the Rhine is different, this king is young and ambitious, and it is not uncommon for him to do something to the nobles.

They knew very well that dealing with Karazan was only the first step for the Rhine, and it was also a tentative step, and if he was allowed to do this, he would be emboldened, and then touch the interests of the entire aristocratic class, which the nobles would never allow.

Now, Rhine has been frustrated, his opponent is not simple, the other party just released a barbarian species in the dark swamp and caused a lot of losses to the army under the orders of the royal family, if it is really forced to the mage lord of Karazhan to do it himself, I don't know what the situation will become.

"Karazhin's one is too powerful, he will affect the balance of the kingdom, I ask you to consider it in the name of Rhine Ureon."

Yes, Karazhan is too strong, strong enough to affect the situation in the kingdom, and vested interests want stability, not turmoil, and they don't like spoilers. This is the reliance of the Rhine.
