Chapter 182: The Fall of Maple Leaf City
Outside the lounge, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and immediately a guard stopped the comer, but he was forcefully pushed away, and he forced the door open and broke in.
"Get out of the way!"
All the Templars immediately stood up and looked out the door with anger on their faces, only to see a guy in armor break in, remove the helmet from his head, and it turned out to be a girl with blonde hair and red wolf ears, and immediately sat down quietly.
It was Del Medi who broke in, Del Medi was fourteen years old, and she was much longer than when Lu Zhiyu first met her, and her whole person became more beautiful and tall, but she was the same as Vildanti when she was young, with a boyish temper, and more unruly and domineering.
As soon as Del Medi entered, he looked at Verdanti in front of the window and said angrily: "My father, we should declare war on the Cretan Empire at once, so that those who dare to tarnish your glory will all be ....... ”
Verdanti's slender sword eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at Del Medi: "Go out, who allowed you to come in, and also, take off the armor on your body, it's not your turn to go to the battlefield." ”
The argument between Del Medi and Vildanti left in a rage, but Verdante finally made up her mind, turned and walked outside, where the Templars opened the door to the lounge and followed them into the main hall, where a large number of nobles and knights of the Holy Seville Empire were waiting.
Seeing Virdanti walk in full armor as the Emperor, and all the Templars present, he immediately knew that His Majesty the Emperor had made a decision, and all of them stood upright, and everyone watched Virdanti walk up to the highest throne.
"Ladies and gentlemen, send troops to welcome back our compatriots." Verdanti draws the sword of kingship, and behind it is the emblem of the Holy Sevier Empire.
Immediately saw the audience cheering, all the orcs let out a roar, the Holy Sevir Empire itself is an empire with Verdanti and all the Templars with the support of the Church of the Sun, with iron blood and army, plus Verdanti has been weakening the relationship between tribes and ethnic groups, promoting the integration of various races, governing the country with law, and completely building the Holy Sevir Empire into a huge and sophisticated machine.
With the emperor's order, the entire Holy Seville Empire was mobilized, and the eight Templar legions, a total of 160,000 cavalry, plus a large number of conscripted defenders from all over the country, and the noble army, combined with nearly 400,000 troops to the south, crossed the Red River Plain, and arrived at the border of the Cretan Empire.
Hundreds of thousands of troops crossed the Red River Plain, and on the huge area of the Red River Plain, a team with no end in sight was opened, and the heads of people were surging densely, which was the first time in a hundred years that the beasts took the initiative to launch a war against humans.
A large number of orcs held spears, like a dense woods, horses neighed, cavalry were fully armed, a large number of knights' armor, shining in the spring sun, the infantry's long swords were hidden in scabbards, shields were polished like a mirror, scorching eyes, the banner of the Holy Seville Empire fluttered, and under the guidance of the banner, the army that spread all over the mountains appeared before the Cretan border fortress.
The Cretan Empire has not had a war in the north for many years, and the fortresses on the border are still ancient fortresses built a hundred or two hundred years ago, and the soldiers who are left behind are no longer the original elite divisions.
"Cavalry! Orcs, orcs are coming! ”
"Woo!"
"Orcs, an army of orcs!"
On the city wall, the long sword was thrown aside, and the sentry, who was dozing against the wall above the watchtower, immediately spotted the trace of the orc army, shouted hoarsely, the horn sounded, and the news of the appearance of the army of the Holy Seville Empire on the border immediately spread throughout the north.
The smell of gunsmoke on the border of the Cretan Empire permeated all the northern border cities of Crete, and a major war was about to break out, and the dense army of the Holy Sevier Empire was directly aimed at the Cretan Empire, as long as the Cretan Empire was not careful, the two sides would start a full-scale war.
After one or two hundred years of development, the Cretan Empire has developed to its peak in terms of economy, culture, and military strength, and the Holy Sevier Empire is the first unified empire of the Orcs.
In the spring of the sixty-first year of the Holy Calendar, the Holy Seville Empire sent 400,000 troops, known as 800,000 troops, to the city, demanding that the Cretan Empire unconditionally release the 200,000 orc slaves trapped in the province of Arabel, second, to abolish the "Orc Slave Ordinance" and release all orc slaves in the country, and third, to sign the "Orc Slave Ordinance" Prime Minister Tambul, to give an explanation to the Holy Seville Empire.
With such a large number of troops and a huge amount of resources to wage war, the Holy Seville Empire must gain something, and this is a decision made by the Empire's top brass after deliberation and together with the Emperor.
Urgent letters sent from the border, along with the news of the arrival of the orc army at the border, were sent day and night to the Cretan Empire's Imperial Capitalia, and at this moment, the war in the province of Arabel had reached the most critical point.
----------------
The ruling center of Arabell's Province, above the head of Maple Leaf City, where blood stained every place above the city, the army of 100,000 orc slaves has fallen into deep despair at this moment, and the army of 30,000 Cretan Empire has advanced towards them at this moment, and the army of orc slaves who occupy several cities in front of them are defeated and retreated, and they are about to arrive in Maple Leaf City.
The entire province of Arabelle is an endless plain, except for Maple Leaf City, which is located in a valley at the foot of the mountain, and the terrain is dangerous, and the rest of the city is simply undefendable for the Cretan army, which currently has a large number of siege equipment.
There were only thousands of defenders in Maple Leaf City, plus tens of thousands of young and strong civilians and a large number of old and weak women and children, who guarded the city, and held out for more than twenty days under the attack of an army of 100,000 orc slaves.
The tragic casualties made the Maple Leaf City already full of scars, and the city was full of corpses of the soldiers who defended the city from above the city, almost everyone was wounded, and the pain moans of the wounded were everywhere up and down the city, and in the same way, they also made the army of 100,000 slaves outside the city pay a heavy price.
More than ten miles outside Maple Leaf City, in the camp of the orc army, there was already a wailing everywhere, no one thought that Maple Leaf City would be such a hard bone, although they were not elite, nor had they undergone orthodox training, but nearly 100,000 people, with ten times the number of attacking such a city, fought for more than 20 days and did not defeat it.
This made everyone lose confidence and courage, especially the army led by Count Tite outside was pressing forward step by step, steady and steady, leaving them a chance to live, and if they couldn't take Maple Leaf City, they would all die here, and the army of slaves that had been put together improvised had already been weakened, if it wasn't for Count Tite forcing them to the brink, they would have dispersed in a hurry.
In the camp, everyone was dejected, and there was no longer the rampant and wanton appearance of ten days ago, and everyone seemed to be back under the control of the Cretan Empire, remembering the fear that the Cretan Empire's army had given them.
The orcs, who were thin and huddled by the fire with weapons in hand, opened their eyes to the silver moon in the sky in the dark night, not knowing what the future would be and what their fate would be.
Several orc leaders who rose up in response to the situation were arguing in the tent at the moment, and in the end, a tall tiger leader shouted angrily.
"The Holy Sevier Empire, according to the calculation of time, has received our request for help, they will not give up on us, His Majesty the Emperor will not give up on us, now, we have only one goal, to defeat Maple Leaf City, this is our only chance to survive."
The next day, the 100,000 orc slaves who were caught in the last battle, like crazy, set up siege ladders and siege vehicles to climb the head of Maple Leaf City, desperately impacting Maple Leaf City, carrying the deadly attacks of rolling logs, catapults, fire oil and boiling water, and rushed forward like a wild beast when their companions in front of them continued to fall and die.
Maple Leaf City, which is as solid as a copper wall, under the impact of nearly 100,000 orc slaves, is like a fallen leaf in the wind and rain, several orc leaders, taking the lead, followed the soldiers to rush to the city, and launched a fierce battle for the city wall with the soldiers defending the city of Maple Leaf City.
The morning sun rose, the bright red spread on the city, blood splashed, everyone's roar was intertwined with the light of the early sun, the leader of the tiger people, holding a broadsword, slashed several people above the city, the long sword pierced a human soldier who was obviously not yet an adult, and pushed his body off the city wall.
Orcs climbed the city one after another, and as the soldiers on the city became fewer and fewer, and finally even the blocked gate of Maple Leaf City was pushed open, and the city completely fell.
