The king, who was so strong against the sky, finally arrived safely at the Fury Fortress, and there was no danger along the way, although he encountered several small forces of orcs, but under the leadership of Duris, the soldiers easily eliminated these orcs who stood in the way, and as for the main force of the orcs, they passed by several times without being discovered by the orcs

During this period, the officers in the fortress sent griffons to meet Duris back, but the king rejected him for the simple reason that he was a knight first and then the king, and that a knight had left his soldiers and fled alone

How could the orc army that suffered a big loss in the Zoroaster Valley give up, it is still like the Roaring Tribe, the Fury Fortress is their base camp, and the root of the entire tribe is located, even if the original strength is strong, it can be reduced to a second-rate and third-rate tribe, which is considered a good ending, and the bad ending is that the roaring tribe that has dominated the northern part of Shamania for eight centuries and severely damaged the elven alliance in the second war with the forest elves, and the Northern Route Army will come to an end

Therefore, as soon as the military operation in the Zoroaster Valley was over, Geba Roar, who had recovered his senses, immediately led more than 4,000 warriors from the tribe back to the Fury Fortress, and at that time, Duris had not yet returned to the fortress, but he had already made arrangements for the officers who remained in the fortress, and the counterattacking orc army did not eat the humans in the fortress in one bite as they wished, but bit on the steel plate and broke the sharp teeth

The orcs of the Roaring tribe would never have dreamed that the large number of military supplies they left in the fortress warehouses and the large number of city defense facilities were actually used to slaughter their own people, and under the majestic orc fortress built by the orcs, piles of orc corpses were piled up, and the roaring tribe stormed for a day and a night, in addition to throwing more than 2,000 corpses, failed to survey the fortress for half a minute, and Geba Roar, who knew the defense of the fortress well, chose a humiliating retreat in order not to let the main force of the tribe be filled in, despite the opposition of many war leaders under his command

Geba Roar scattered his army in various orc villages under the rule of the Howling Tribe, and let the battle-hardened orc veterans train the orc boys, and only in this way can he keep a little bloodline of the Roaring tribe and make the tribe rise again in the future

However, although the Roaring Tribe has temporarily withdrawn, it does not mean that other tribes have ignored it. It is one thing to fight for food and the position of the Khan, and it is another thing to defend against foreign enemies together, these humans are too arrogant, they dare to capture the orc fortress, this kind of shame is not something that any orc can bear, so under the conscription of the orc Khan Aka Bloodaxe, a total of twelve other tribes formed a coalition army, and successively besieged the Fury Fortress seven times, but under the strong city defense and the excellent command of Duris, these seven sieges were all unattacked, and the orcs shed enough blood in front of their fortress, and although the human army was also greatly attrition under the onslaught of the orcs, Duris promptly sent a large number of reinforcements from the Bole Kingdom to gather in less than a weekThe Poyler army in the Fury Fortress has reached 15,000, more than a third of the current total strength of the Poyler King's army

The huge Fury Fortress attracted a large number of orc armies like a big magnet, and then relied on the defensive power of the fortress to annihilate them in batches, and in the next two weeks, the orcs fell into the darkest period, nearly 20,000 orc warriors died under the fortress, which was undoubtedly worse for the orcs who had not yet recovered from the war with the elves

July 19, 1686

In the Fury Fortress, Duris had finished his day's work, when three people came to him: Li Man, the deputy commander of the Polish army attacking the orc country, Saurus, the captain of his own personal guard, and Fox, the head of the intelligence department

The three of them saluted together

There is no need for superfluous etiquette, and this time I will call you over because there is something important to do

The three of them looked at each other, and when they saw the stern expression on His Majesty's face, they knew that this matter was by no means simple

Guining, go and close the door and don't let anyone disturb you

Obeying his master's orders, Guining took the order, he withdrew from the door, then closed the door, took out his mace, and guarded the outside, if anyone dared to approach the room, Guining would not hesitate to send him to hell

A few days ago, I handed you a blueprint and asked you to make a weapon according to the drawing, how is the progress now?

His Majesty's craftsmen were working hard to make it, but the design on that drawing was too complex, and even the most senior craftsmen in the army had never seen such a crossbow, so they could now only make ten of them a day

It's only ten bodies a day, it's too slow, Duriss is quite unhappy, you have to speed up the progress, I don't care how many people you have to make a hundred pieces a day

Yes, Li Man agreed on the surface, but in his heart he felt very strange why His Majesty the King attached so much importance to such a strange crossbow that no one had ever seen before

And also...... Duris continued to order that the strength of the fortress be reduced by 1,000 men every day from tomorrow, and that the reduced strength be secretly repatriated to the country, and that 12,000 warriors should be sent back home before twelve days, and this matter must be kept secret, not to be known to the orcs, let alone publicized among the soldiers, understand?

However, the eighth large-scale siege of the orc alliance may start the day after tomorrow, and we have transferred the warriors away, how can we have enough troops to hold the fortress, and Li Man was shocked to hear that the king is going to transfer his troops back to China, which is completely unreasonable

Otherwise, what do I tell you to make those crossbows, and you send away a thousand soldiers every day, and add a hundred of those crossbows to the city defenses, which can completely make up for the lost soldiers' combat effectiveness

What is this kind of strange crossbow, can such a strange crossbow be able to withstand 10 warriors, Li Man couldn't help but ask curiously

Duris thought about it for a while, he felt that he still had to explain it clearly to his subordinates: this is a powerful weapon, it can fire ten arrows at a time, and the fire is very strong, but the volume and weight are too large for individual soldiers to use, and it is the most suitable for defending cities and camps, you haven't seen it, it's not strange, because this is not originally a weapon on the three continents of Olopa, but a true country from the vast continent, which is called a repeater, and the power of this weapon is what I have seen with my own eyes, you don't have to doubt it

It turned out that this was a weapon from the real country, and Li Man no longer had any suspicions, as a soldier from the Fayale Empire, he knew about the past of Duris

When the fourth prince of the empire, Du Lis, was only ten years old, the Fayale Empire and the Monis Republic, There was a war in the Kingdom of Loma, because the empire was in the midst of a two-front war, and at that time, the king of Banzaimun and the kingdom of Vimumen on the Carmetnivia Peninsula seemed to have a plan to take the opportunity to attack the Fayele Empire, in order to avoid the empire's third-line war, Duris's father, Frederick VI, came up with a bad idea: to send a prince to the Banshuomen Kingdom as a hostage to stabilize the two male families, so the most neglected Duriss was unfortunately chosen, but for the dignity of the royal family, Duris's hostage career was named in the name of studying at the Celidaya Naval Academy in the Bansumen Kingdom

After two years of study and living at the Celidaya Naval Academy, he followed the ocean-going fleet of Ban Xuanmen to the distant continent in the name of internship, but half a year later, the returning Banqimen fleet returned to the port, but there was no trace of Duris, and the people on the fleet explained that he was lost in the true country of the vast continent, which once caused a diplomatic storm between the Fayele Empire and the Banchamen Kingdom, and Frederick VI even threatened to attack the Banmen; In the war of the Kingdom of Loma, and the status of the fourth prince Duriss himself in the heart of Emperor Frederick VI was not very important, and this war never started

Just when everyone thought that Duris had been martyred in the Vast Continent, two years later, the dusty Duris suddenly appeared in the port of Celidaya, he followed a merchant fleet returning from another empire on the Vast Continent - the Peacock Empire, and the return of Duris made the diplomatic turmoil between the Fayele Empire and the Bangchaomen Kingdom that lasted for more than two years officially subsided, and then Duris did not continue his studies at the Celidaya Naval Academy, but returned directly to the Empire - anyway, at that time, the Empire had already won the war against the Republic of Monis and the Kingdom of Loma, and there was no need to whisper to the two countries on the Kametnivia Peninsula

As for what happened to the prince of Duris on the Vast Land Continent back then, it is still a mystery, and he himself is tight-lipped about it, even the attendant Gui Ning, who has followed Duris since he was a child, does not know the secret, and Duris seems to be deliberately avoiding his past two years on the Vast Land Continent

Seeing that Li Man was no longer confused, Duris didn't continue to explain too much to him, he turned to face Sakolos and Fawkes

Sakoros, you have chosen four people in the guard who are not weaker than the knights of the royal power, be more flexible, and you have ordered Fox to find me a chaplain who is not weaker than the high bishop, and you must be very loyal, and among the merchants who often do business with the orcs, find a guide who is familiar with the terrain of Shamania, and you two remember that this matter must be done in absolute secrecy within two days

Obey orders

The two agreed without hesitation, compared to the captain of the guard, who was not good at words and obeyed, Fox, who was in charge of intelligence, felt that this order of the king was a little strange, and he couldn't help but ask: Your Majesty, may I ask what you want these people to do

Forming a secret team led by me myself, Duris smiled, and then said something that terrified the hearts of the three subordinates, and I wanted to secretly go to the capital of the orc kingdom to talk to the orc khan in person
