Chapter 454: The History of Mercenary Blood and Tears (2)

The Goszas were engaged in a variety of occupations, such as planting, herding, hunting, mining, etc., and the royal family of the Gosza Kingdom was a large family that started from farming and animal husbandry in the Crescent region. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the establishment of the Gosa Kingdom, under the leadership of the Gosa King, although it has experienced some small-scale wars, but the people have been living a carefree and stable life, by selling minerals, furs and other expensive goods to the south, the Gossars have made a lot of money, their lives are very rich, and the entire Crescent Zone has also been created by them to be extremely prosperous, until the Orcs invade the south.

At that time, human society had just experienced a tragic civil war in the Holy See, and the Illuminati in the south finally won the final victory after a protracted war, and the forces of the dark faction in the north were devastated, and the dark walkers were purged, including some faithful dark believers. After years of war and the Great Purge after the war, human power has been greatly weakened. The orcs also took the opportunity to go south in an attempt to regain access to the most fertile land on the continent, but despite the fierce fighting and scarring just now, the humans did not let their guard down on the enemies hiding in the ice and snow, and they always had a shield in their hands to block the north. Even when the fighting was at its worst, the Northern Curia still maintained a certain number of troops to hold on to the south bank of the Bisi River, ready to defend and counterattack the orc army. It can be said that the reason why the Northern Curia was finally defeated was due to the fact that while they were dealing with the Illuminati in the south, they also had to divide their forces to deal with the orcs from the north.

As soon as the civil war ended, the Southern Holy See immediately transferred the remnants of the civil war to the northern strongholds to fight against the orcs. The army of the Beastmaster tried to attack the border cities controlled by the Holy See, but found that the defenders of the city resisted very tenaciously, and there was no imaginary situation of excessive consumption of the civil war, the discouragement of the army, and the collapse of the first touch, if they wanted to take these cities, the orcs had to pay heavy casualties.

If you want to go south and occupy the territory of the humans, it is almost inevitable to pay casualties, but just as the Beastmaster is about to order the entire army to cross the Bisi River and launch a full-scale attack on the human fortress on the south bank, the Orc High Priest who accompanied the army suddenly proposed a new strategy, according to which the Beastmaster will look west along the Bisi River, where there is still a majestic pass standing there to break through, and most importantly, this level is not in the hands of the Holy See, but in the hands of the Godsas, who are independent of the Holy See's faith。

After some weighing, the Beastmaster finally waved his hand, and the orc soldiers divided into two routes, one continued to maintain military pressure on the Holy See forces on the south bank of the Bixi River, attracting the attention of the Holy See, and the other was led by the Orc High Priest to move west along the Bisi River. However, the orc High Priest's destination was not Capra Pass, but to Crescent City, the capital of the Gotha kingdom located in the upper reaches of the Bissi River.

In the face of the menacing orc army, the Godsa king felt an unprecedented panic, at that time, the total population of the Gosa country was less than 600,000, and the number of people who controlled the strings was less than 60,000, the king did not have any confidence to be able to fight the orcs, and if the orcs could not be stopped, the consequence would be the death of the Godsa country, and the royal family of Godsa would naturally be finished together. A minister suggested that the Godsa king ask the Holy See for help, but others did not know, the Godsa King himself knew that the Holy See was too busy to take care of itself at this time, where could he take care of himself, not to mention that he was not a believer in the God of Light, and if he turned to the Holy See for help, he would definitely pay the price, so the Godsa King did not adopt the opinion of the minister.

It was out of this fear of the orc legions and the fear of his own power that the Godsa King made a decision that future generations would regret. When the orcs did not have troops in the city, he sent messengers to surrender to the beastmaster, he was willing to lead the people of the Gosa country to become the subject state of the orcs, and took the initiative to open the Capra Pass to let the orc army go south, in exchange for the orcs to let go of the Gosa country and recognize his Godsa king. This decision of the Gosa King was strongly opposed by the family of the minister who spoke at the time, but instead of listening to him, the Gosa King was angry and drove the family to Capra Hill to take charge of the most dangerous mining work.

For the Gosa King's surrender, the Beastmaster nodded and accepted after some weighing, the real destination of the Orcs is the fertile land in the south-central part of the continent, and the real enemies are also the Holy See and the Elves entrenched in that land, for the small group of humans in the Gosa Kingdom, the Beastmaster does not care very much, but if he cooperates, it will be of great help to the Orcs' strategy, because the Godsa King can not only provide them with a passage to the south, but also provide the Orcs with metal weapons in short supply, so the two sides quickly reached a secret agreement。

The army of orcs quietly entered the human gathering area through Capra Pass, and appeared directly outside the city of Nice. At that time, the Southern Holy See had just taken over the city of Nice, and used it as a logistics base to resist the orcs, and a large amount of grain and grass was transported from the south to store in the city of Nice, and then distributed from the city to various troops on the front line.

The sudden arrival of the orcs completely disrupted the deployment of the Holy See, the garrison strength of Nice City was not strong, and they were all newly formed second-line troops, which were usually responsible for pressing grain and transporting grass. Therefore, the orcs easily took the city of Nice with almost no effort, not only successfully bypassing the Valen Pass and advancing to the human Forte, but also seized a large amount of food and grass supplies, cutting off the back route of the human border guards, leaving them isolated and helpless.

In the case of a strong enemy in front and no assistance in the back, the Valen Pass was quickly lost, and the orc corps crossed the Bisi River under the leadership of the Beastmaster and marched south, losing the first battle and the border pass, the Holy See barely had time to organize a decent battle, and was defeated by the rapidly advancing orc legions, and finally evolved into a comprehensive rout, and had to abandon the northern territory that had just arrived, and retreated all the way to the south.

At this time, the Holy See already knew that he had been betrayed by the Gossars of the same race, but it was too late, although the Holy See hated the Gosa King for recognizing the thief as the king and betraying his kind, but they could not take revenge on the Gosa Kingdom in the case of a full-scale invasion by the orcs. Later, the Holy See withdrew all the way to the area south of the Congo Mountains, relying on the natural danger of the Congo Pass in the east, and blocking the east's eastward march with the various water networks to block the orc army from continuing to move south, and finally retained the last territory of the Holy See.
