Clear the orcs of the action near the nearby tribes of the Scarlet Canyon!

Well, this is a more formal or simply bureaucratic name in this magical world, if it is understood by Rhodes himself, it is similar to the devil sweeping operation during the Anti-Japanese War on the earth or the grass valley operation in the era of cold weapons!

Well, although it may seem a little discordant, it is indeed the human army's sweeping behavior of the orc tribe in the orc wilderness!

After the Dawn War, whether it was out of weakening the remnants of the Orc Empire or profiteering from the Orc slave trade, almost when there was no large-scale battle with the Orc Empire, it was at the end of the harvest season every year to wipe out the orc tribes in the Orc Wilderness near the Scarlet Canyon.

And the timing of the selection of the Scarlet Canyon and the orc tribe close to the Scarlet Canyon are not random choices, but they are quite exquisite!

Of course, the orc tribe close to the Scarlet Canyon needless to say, in the Orc Wilderness, which can be described as a wilderness that can be described as thousands of miles, the troops of the human countries have not penetrated deep at all - since the disintegration of the Radiant Alliance, the human nations have an extremely scarce understanding of the Orc Wilderness, and for the five northern countries, they are not interested in fighting with the Orc Empire for their lives in the orc wilderness that is not suitable for human habitation, anyway, they are victorious if they hold the Scarlet Canyon!

The Orc Empire had once thought of ambushing the human sweeping forces, but unfortunately, the nomadic and small-scale cultivation of the Orc Empire really lacked the foundation for large-scale mobilization. And for the sake of the Scarlet Canyon, the Orc Empire can do whatever it takes, but in order to never go deep into the Orc Wilderness with a small army, the human sweeping troops who are just sweeping on the edge of the Scarlet Canyon will make a big move? It's really a very unworthy situation for the orc empire, which has never had a thick foundation.

So, later, the orc empire didn't bother to make a big deal for some small tribes, as long as the large human army did not go deep into the orc wilderness, the orc empire left those small orc tribes (mainly greenskin tribes) close to the blood-colored canyon to fend for themselves.

The human garrison in the Scarlet Canyon is not stupid, and it would be self-defeating to go deep into the orc wilderness by relying only on the sweeping troops based on cavalry and carriages without the support of a large army. There has been no such foolish commander for thousands of years, and the human sweeping force has always operated around the Scarlet Canyon, never going deep into the orc wilderness!

As for why did Scarlet Canyon choose the time period of the third month of the harvest season?

In addition to the fact that the last month of the harvest season is the most important time to harvest food in the orc wilderness, the most important thing is that the human army does not have to worry about the escape of the orc tribe - in the wilderness, it is normal for orcs to run away if they can't beat the enemy, and the human sweep force does not have the idle time to waste searching and chasing the enemy.

However, the third month of the harvest season is different, in order to resist the extremely cold and unbearable cold wind season in the orc wilderness (see the winter in Siberia for details), when the orc tribes are full of food to survive the cold wind season.

In the face of the human sweep force, if the tribe is left behind, those orcs are destined to not be able to store enough food to survive the cruel winter before the cruel cold wind season changes, and if they do not escape, they will have to face the human sweep force

Well, anyway, choose one of the two choices, and no matter how those orc tribes choose, it will be an extremely tragic end!

As for the human race, they are not worried that there will be a lack of orc tribes in the wilderness around the Scarlet Canyon, because although the place on the Orc Canyon is large, it is still limited, and although the place close to the human Scarlet Canyon may encounter human eradication and beast hunting teams from time to time, it is still a fluke for many small tribes that have been expelled by the big tribes.

Therefore, every time the garrison in the Scarlet Canyon moves, they will not worry that the next arrival will be fruitless, and they will harvest those hapless orc tribes in their free time like wheat and turn them into slave trade.

But this time it's clearly different!

With the support of the gods game space, the orc tribes that had the heart in the past but did not have the strength to fight against the human extermination army began to connect under the powerful orc contractor organization, not only began to fight those human slave hunters who were interested in interests, but also tried to prepare to gather troops to give those humans a good look when the Scarlet Canyon Clearing Corps attacked and swept those orc tribes in the orc wilderness!

The situation on the human side is similar, among the hundreds of thousands of contractors in the Scarlet Canyon, there are also those soldiers and officers in various legions, and after this clean-up operation, there are already many contractors who have the idea of showing themselves well in the sweeping campaign and then getting promoted and making a fortune.

In this case, it is already inevitable that the two sides will have a good fight in the orc wilderness!

"It's really a comet hitting the earth."

After reading the preparations and related situations of both sides, Rod couldn't help but complain.

I have to say that the preparations and various situations of the humans and orcs, who are still unaware of the changes in the strength of the other party, are very different from previous years!

On the human side, due to the situation over the years, the five legions have selected a team of nearly 100,000 people, including thousands of bronze knights, 50,000 trainee knights and corresponding formation powerhouses, reconnaissance sky knights, magicians, auxiliaries, and carriages.

Except for about half of these raiding legions, most of the others were veterans who had survived the battle against the Orc Empire in the Scarlet Canyon, and many of them were silver, gold, and even Sanctuary masters. Coupled with the fact that the human race has completely overwhelmed the orc empire's equipment since the Dawn War, those human contractors who have learned about the clearance situation over the years and even participated in the clearance operation themselves are full of confidence!

After all, the terrain around the Scarlet Canyon has long been explored by humans for thousands of years, and in this case, it is really easy for the human extermination legion, which has an absolute advantage in strength and intelligence, to face the scattered orc tribes. And this time, among the purging legions on the human side, there are definitely not a few people who are powerful and hide their own contracts.

In this case, of course, the human contractors have full confidence in their side!

However, the contractors on the orc's side were not to be outdone.

As compared to the contractors of the human extermination legion in the Scarlet Canyon, the orc contractors who were originally completely inferior in terms of numbers have an advantage in their own field - compared to the limited number of purging legion contractors, most of the orc contractors on this side of the orc wilderness are united with the enemy, so in terms of numbers, the orc contractors in the orc wilderness far exceed the human contractors who came out with the legion!

At the same time, thanks to someone who doesn't worry about the human situation at all, the orc contractor has access to a large amount of weapons and equipment and a variety of enhancements called "Beast God's Gift" in the orc-exclusive novice and high-level levels.

Although most of the weapons and equipment of the orc contractors are made of stainless steel and leather armor, they can be described as divine weapons compared to the broken copper and iron before these small orc tribes. And most importantly, neither quantity nor quality could be obtained by other means by the orc tribe before (Note 1).

Of course, with sufficient weapons and equipment, the orc contractors in the scattered small tribes in the orc wilderness and other orc tribes have also enriched the high-end force that is currently lacking in these small tribes fighting in the orc wilderness!

--To be honest, if you compare the most basic individual force alone, the orcs are not inferior to humans, and even surpass humans as a whole, and although the discipline of the orcs is a bit of a headache, at least under the leadership of the leader and qualified officers, it is not satisfactory, and the biggest problem is actually in the equipment and high-end force.

The small tribes in the orc wilderness are not only lacking in masters (gold and above), but also have been suppressed by the human garrisons in the Scarlet Canyon in terms of equipment and magical power!

In fact, if it is a battle in the Scarlet Canyon, the Orc Empire mobilized with all its strength can barely fight with the Scarlet Canyon in terms of high-end powerlessness and magical power, but among those scattered small tribes in the Orc Wilderness, it is not enough to kill the first black barrier mage tower of the Scarlet Canyon at one time!

However, now it is different from previous years, in addition to quickly adding a large number of mage power and providing weapons and equipment to the orc tribes in the orc wilderness, it has even created a large number of mid-to-high-end combat power for those scattered orc tribes - at the beginning, a certain guy was not afraid of big things out of the idea of watching the excitement, and when the gods game space carried out various reliable and unreliable enhancements in the name of "gods", the orc contractors who were much stronger than humans gained a lot of benefits, Now there are even orc contractors of the pseudo-sanctuary rank (Note 2) in the Orc Wilderness!

Therefore, from Rhodes' point of view, the advantage of the Human Clearing Legion is that the equipment, magic power, and Sanctuary rank powerhouses are in charge, while the tribal alliances in the orc wilderness have the advantage of stealth and numbers. Now it is foreseeable that after the two sides fight, it will definitely be a lively scene of a comet hitting the earth.

(Note 1: There are actually enough metal minerals in the Orc Empire, but the Orc Empire lacks channels to mine and build them into weapons and equipment, and most of the orc tribes' weapons and equipment are no longer comparable to the sophisticated equipment of the Orc Empire when they exploited other races before the Dawning War.) )

(Note 2: The pseudo-Sanctuary rank refers to those who have not broken through the Sanctuary rank, but have surpassed the strength of the gold rank by virtue of external factors such as bloodline, secret arts, and equipment.) (To be continued......) R1292
