Chapter 147: The Orcs Dispatch
The gathered goblins emerged from the forest in a line like ants, but instead of gathering immediately, they mingled with the other goblins near the town, waiting for Arthur's master to summon them.
The northern blizzard also seemed to run out of energy, and finally stopped dancing, but the whole land was now buried under the deep snow.
Everything on the earth had disappeared without a trace, meadows, shrubs, and even low houses, all that could be seen were the unattainable branches of the trees, hung with ice ballast, trying to expose the ground and not be buried by the wind and snow.
The snow was far worse than the orcs had thought, and even if the caves hiding in the cliffs avoided the snow that was big enough to bury them, it wouldn't be enough to recoup a little damage.
Grain, the little grain that was grown with great difficulty throughout the year, can bring less than one-tenth into the cave, and the rations that could barely support the winter may not even last next month now.
The orcs had reached a moment of great danger, and when school stopped, every orc knew what they were going to do next.
"No human beings will give us food, they wish we were frozen to death in the wasteland by the wind and snow, we can only rely on war to make those stupid humans understand that all they do is to cover their eyes, when the giant wolf shows its fangs, only death awaits them!"
One by one, the Great Chief roared angrily in front of his warriors, drew his blood-drinking sword and waved his battle flag, at which point each adult orc male would be transformed into a bloodthirsty warrior, carrying only enough food to reach the human defenses, leaving everything that was left to the women and children.
Their food will be robbed of from humans, and the survival of the tribes will depend on this war.
"Woo woo woo~!" The roar of a giant wolf resounded through the wasteland.
The orc armies are coming from the tribe, with the wolf knights as the spearhead, who will be the first spearhead to tear through the human defenses, and then the orc infantry will follow the path torn by the warriors and pour into the entire Halfwinter Kingdom.
"The war is really coming." Arthur's group of yeoman farmers in the rear were summoned to the lord's palace again, but the Frick Canon seen this time had changed into a heavy knight's armor.
With a look on his face that was no longer melancholy, but a determined warrior-like look, he looked at the crowd in the audience and announced the latest news he had obtained.
"The orc cavalry has been opened, and the first line of defense has been torn apart yesterday, and the news from the capital of winter frost and blood mist of the second line of defense is that the scale of this orc attack is unprecedentedly strong, and they have no ability to resist this orc attack."
The result was actually expected for a long time, but when he really heard the news, he couldn't help but let out a sigh, this time the snow disaster in the north was too big, even the snow in the north of the Midwinter Kingdom was more than a meter deep, not to mention the orcs in the wasteland.
This is enough to bury people in the high level of snow, enough for the orcs to abandon everything to attack, not only the five major tribes, but also a dozen small tribes will act in concert.
This will be a huge disaster, there are hundreds of giant wolf cavalry in a small orc tribe alone, and more than a dozen small tribes have more than 10,000 heads.
Not to mention that each of the five major tribes has thousands of giant wolf cavalry, and the giant wolf cavalry alone that invaded the human race this time is probably more than 30,000.
30,000 orc infantry, maybe the north can stop it, but 30,000 cavalry, the first line of defense, I am afraid that they don't even have the courage to stop it.
In the past, the orc invasion was only a few hundred cavalry, sneaking through the defense line over the mountains and mountains, even if it did not conflict with humans, it would cause a lot of losses.
However, when the large army passed, the orc giant wolf cavalry was not damaged at all, and the powerful momentum, the defense of more than 10,000 infantry on the border that had not yet been organized did not have the strength to fight at all.
The purpose of the orcs is food, and they will not be entangled with the human fortress holding the castle in the north, and it is impossible for the human army to threaten the back of these orcs who have no food and grass.
They can only cower in the castle, waiting for the orc infantry to follow them, and surround them again, and finally until the end of this raid, I am afraid that there will be no large-scale conflict.
"A bunch of cowards? Maybe that's the only option for them? Arthur listened to the indecent words cursed by the people next to him, and sighed in his heart that this line of defense was almost an ornament.
A fortress with no connection alone is completely useless in defending against large-scale invasions, and it is not flexible enough to deal with small-scale invasions.
It is impossible to compete with the orc wolf cavalry by walking, just like the infantry guarding the fortress and the tank competition, people can completely ignore you and take a detour, and as long as you leave the fortress, you will be crushed by the tank and die, and you will not have half the qualification to die.
The speed of the orcs is very fast, from the first time they heard the news of the war, it has only been five days now, because there is news of the old Canon General in the north, and the news that Flick got must have been one-handed.
Under the rapid offensive of the rapid reaction force, it can almost be said that the kingdom has lost the important checkpoint on which it relied to maintain the security of the interior without any resistance.
"What are we going to do next?" This question is in front of everyone, although the war seems to be far away, but in the event of a major war, the South will not suffer less damage than the North.
The experience of the southern invasion of the country has taught the orcs that the closer they get to the humans in the north, the more people in the fortress and the more professional people have combat effectiveness, while the humans on the Vietnamese side are the opposite, saving more food than in the north.
The orcs are not stupid, their goal is not to kill humans, but to grab food in the killing, and the giant wolf cavalry that broke through the defense line is like an arrow, straight into the south.
Once they reached the south and disintegrated the human armies that stood in their way, these orc wolf cavalry would scatter as a tribe, raiding towns and plundering them.
There are only a few large human towns in the south that have enough troops to protect the city, but many more are small towns like Morado, villages and towns that don't even have walls.
Once the giant wolf cavalry attacked, the destruction was almost devastating, and in order to survive, they often had to drag their families with all the rations and finances they could, hide in the caves of the mountains, forests, and pray not to be found by the orcs, and survive until the end of the war.
These towns, known as the Frontier Wastelands in the wizarding world, are not led by nobles, nor are they core farmers who lack the fighting power to resist and protect themselves.
"But Morado is different, we will defend our land to the death, and all invaders will leave their lives behind to defend the glory of their ancestors!"
