Chapter Ninety-Nine: Senseless Sacrifice

"You're still too impatient......"

"It's not very useful to spread this kind of news now, and there is enough time for the opposing generals to adjust their morale. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"A more effective way to think than rumors is to win a landslide victory and let them know what despair ......"

"Port Mertil is the best example of how to do it, Orpheus, and I don't think you'll disappoint me."

It was a mild-mannered man who spoke, most notably his morning star-bright eyes and his posture that seemed to be never in a hurry.

However, he was taught a lesson by Orpheus, the griffon leader who killed the level 19 veteran Overseer in one blow on the battlefield earlier.

If you had seen him majestic on the battlefield before, it was hard to imagine that when he was reprimanded by this man at this time, he looked submissive.

After chatting about the battle for a while, Orpheus said respectfully: "The Imperial Capital Courier reports, Erica, is back...... Brought back the little princess Helway. ”

The man intentionally or unintentionally avoided Erica's topic, and scolded Helway with a smile: "This little girl is not like words, she will run out when she says to run out, such a big person, and it gives people a headache." As he spoke, he rubbed his eyebrows, a little distressed.

But Orpheus just laughed and didn't say much. The man can be judged politely, he is not qualified enough. Laughing and smiling, he suddenly thought of something, and asked softly, "Then the matter of the temple, can you solve it?" ”

The man patted Orpheus on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I'll take care of these things......"

Since the man gave an affirmative answer, Orpheus said no more.

This lord is very reliable, he is the only heir of the Gothic Empire, and everyone in the entire empire, from the ministers to the common people, is convinced of this result. The best evidence of his qualifications is that he has already advanced to the legendary destiny at the age of 20.

He is the Empire's Grand Prince "Morning Star" Jones, Helway's brother-in-law, and the brightest star of the Empire.

……

Three days passed in a flash, and along the way, Buck and the others had already met several groups of fleeing homeless, and it seemed that the battle situation in Port Mertil was not optimistic. When there are fugitives in a city on the verge of war, it means that the controller is powerless and weak. In other words, the city is not far from breaking the city.

When I really came to Port Mertil, I felt the fierceness of the battle, which was indescribable.

The arrows of the defenders, tung oil spilled out as if they were not money, and when they accumulated to a certain extent, they fired a round of fire arrows. At this time, tung oil fueled the fire, and it burned brightly, and each fire arrow could ignite a battlefield, burning a cluster of imperial soldiers to the ground.

The bravery of the Imperial soldiers could not be overlooked, and every siege of the city resulted in heavy casualties. The walls of the harbor city are not very high, and these soldiers can easily climb them, and then there is a fierce hand-to-hand battle. Federation soldiers often have to pay double the price to eliminate an Imperial soldier.

The offensive and defensive sides were inseparable, and the battle was in full swing, with dozens of people dying every second......

Buck's pupils, who were watching the battle from a distance, shrunk, seemed to be wrong! This standard clothing and weapons look rudimentary compared to the federal army, so it could be the Imperial army known for its armament? And the chaotic formation and coordination, how could this be the Imperial Army, which is known for its discipline? This Imperial army is nothing but a brave spirit that is not afraid of death......

Wasn't it the regular army of the Empire that was fighting the defenders so hard to solve?

What's the point of the commander doing this, it's just to increase casualties.

The assault had been going on for a day, and at nightfall, the Imperial army had retreated like a tidal wave, leaving the city with weary Union soldiers celebrating the hard-won victory.

Buck and the others entered the city under the cover of night, and when the defenders saw that they had repelled the enemy and that they had more troops on their side, everyone was elated and their morale was high. The whole harbor is filled with a warm and positive atmosphere.

The first thing Buck did when he came to the port of Mertil was to visit the lord of the city, and there were some things that he urgently needed to communicate with the authorities.

After explaining his intentions, the doorman checked his documents and let him in, the city lord himself is a level 19 warrior, and it is not something that ordinary people can hurt.

After Buck told him what he had seen during the day, the city lord Colin's face showed a thick tiredness, and he replied with a strong spirit, "You are the little friend of Buck mentioned in Master Barend's letter, right?" ”

"I have been very meticulous in my observations, and I have also discovered the problems you mentioned. But so what? ”

Colin smiled bitterly, opened the combat map, and swiped with his hand: "I can tell you very clearly. Over here...... Over here...... And here...... This is where the real army of the Empire is located. ”

"But what if you know? None of our armies can win, not even a sneak attack......"

Colin said frankly, and these were all expected by Buck. In fact, the destruction of the Federation by the empire in the previous life was so effortless.

Many times, even if you are wise, there are obstacles that cannot be avoided. The weakness of the Union forces caused Buck to feel a deep sense of powerlessness for the first time.

Just as Buck began to deliberate, Orpheus' tent was also brightly lit.

"The reserve battalions reported casualties."

After a long count, Orpheus knocked on the table, and although the scene was brutal, the actual number of casualties was less than his psychological expectations. Most of these reserves are made up of death row inmates, and it is not a pity to die no more. As long as they have hope of survival, they are a force that can fight.

I believe that those incompetent Federation guards now still think that their combat effectiveness is not weak, and they can actually wrestle with the Imperial soldiers...... You must know that in the face of such a reserve army, the most ordinary imperial army can defeat ten with one!

Orpheus smiled and shook his head, if it weren't for the completion of the adults' battle orders, he wouldn't have spent so much time entanglement with them. His griffon cavalry is a fourth-tier class with four combat traits. You only need to rely on the "Swift Attack" trait of one of them to take the city wall without blood.

He began to sign combat orders and tomorrow continued to charge with the soldiers of these reserve battalions. He set a base in his mind that he would stop such operations only if the soldiers of the reserve battalion died below this base. Those reserve battalion soldiers who are able to survive will be given a second life......

And at that time, it will also be the end of the other party. Only by giving the opponent the greatest hope can we give the greatest despair.

After this battle, I will leave a lingering shadow on the hearts of all the Union soldiers, oh no, the Federation is afraid that it will no longer exist at that time......

Orpheus only regarded this as a simple task, and the only thing he cared about was that Lord Jones could really solve the temple problem, and for some reason, he always felt that the Lord seemed to be a little timid about the temple problem.
