Chapter 585: Preparing for War

The next morning, before the morning sun had evaporated all the dew and the air was still filled with a chill, the drums of war were already sounding in the wilderness.

The roars of various beasts continued to be heard, making Leo feel as if he had entered the animal world. By the time he stepped onto the fortress podium, Prince Grantham and the generals of various countries were already here to prepare for the defense.

"Your Excellency the Grand Duke of Pritz, according to yesterday's agreement, this frontal defense should be undertaken by your elite army!" said Commander Sova in a strange tone to Leo, rejecting yesterday's deference.

Leo frowned and glanced at him, these generals and commanders had gathered to plot last night, and the Iga ninjas had already informed Leo about it. However, Leo still couldn't imagine how stupid these guys would have to be to think about infighting when the enemy was pressing.

"Of course, my Spartan Heavy Legion will be in charge of the front line today, and I believe that you will not be disappointed!" Leo replied calmly, and then ignored the commander of Sova, but stepped forward to salute Prince Grantham, and waited for the prince's arrangement.

Prince Grantham looked at Leo who was not shocked, and sighed softly in his heart, if the generals of all countries could do this to Leo, he would not have to worry so much. Looking at the generals who thought they had a plan, did they think that they would be able to escape by instigating Leo to meet the orcs?

"Ahem!" Prince Grantham retracted his thoughts, coughed lightly, and then ordered loudly: "Today's frontal defense will be handed over to the Duchy of Pridz, the Kingdom of Sova, and the Kingdom of Kuta...... Defend the west side of the fortress, the Kanazawa Empire, the Duchy of Lorenzo...... It was responsible for guarding the east side of the fortress, and at the same time sent the herald cavalry to continue to urge other reinforcements to arrive at the fortress as soon as possible. ”

"Your Royal Highness!" Leo said loudly, "Because of the continuous battles, the Golden Legion, the Silver Legion and the Griffin Legion of the Holy Griffin Empire have suffered heavy losses, and I suggest that my Datang Legion assist in the defense of the fortress!"

After listening to Leo's words, the generals of various countries began to discuss, in their opinion, this Grand Duke of Pritz is seeking a way back for himself, presumably he is also aware of his arrogance, and wants to preserve a strength for the Principality of Pritz.

"Leo, the frontal defense pressure is already very high, if there is one less legion, can you hold it?" Prince Grantham did not agree, but asked Leo with some concern.

"Rest assured, Your Highness, my Spartan Heavy Legion is ready, and I believe they will be able to withstand the attacks of the orcs. Leo's words were filled with a powerful confidence, which made Prince Grantham look at Leo deeply in surprise, not quite understanding where his confidence came from.

"Well, since you said so, then let the Tang Legion enter the fortress and assist in the defense of the fortress!" Prince Grantham naturally would not refuse Leo's request, but this also made the generals of various countries feel the prince's partiality.

"Your Royal Highness, the legions of our Kuta Kingdom are better at defending cities, and I think we are better suited for fortress defense than the army of the Duchy of Priedz!" one of the princes of the Kuta Kingdom respectfully offered his opinion to Prince Grantham.

The prince's words reminded the generals in the column that it was safest to assist in the defense of the fortress. If the orcs want to attack the fortress, they must first destroy the major legions guarding the fortress, and the fortress with high walls and thick walls is obviously much safer than the field battle.

"Your Royal Highness, we, the Kingdom of Sova, are willing to do our part for the defense of the fortress!" "Your Royal Highness, the Duchy of Lorenzo is better at defending the city!" "Your Royal Highness, ......!"

As if they were competing for some priceless treasure, the generals vigorously recommended themselves to Prince Grantham, and tried their best to transfer their legions into the fortress. Prince Grantham closed his eyes in pain, expecting such a group of life-hungry and even shameless creatures to defeat the Orc Empire, it was simply an impossible task. Is there really no hope for humanity?

"Shut up for me! All legions must proceed according to the plan just now, and whoever dares to disobey military orders will be subject to military law! No matter which country you are a prince or general, no matter what family you come from, no matter what background you have, you must obey my orders on the battlefield!" Prince Grantham opened his eyes suddenly, slapped the table with his right hand, pointed at the noisy generals of various countries, and roared angrily.

Under the anger of Prince Grantham, the generals of various countries, who had been chattering like the bargaining vendors in the vegetable market just now, were as if they were stuck in the neck, and several generals opened their mouths in vain, not daring to say anything more.

When a full 30,000 Spartan hoplites were in front of the fortress, not to mention the generals of various countries, even Prince Grantham, who had always unconditionally supported Leo, stared at him, wondering how the Spartan army could have so many more soldiers overnight.

In front of the Spartan battle array, Achilles and Leonidas held a sword/spear in one hand and a shield in the other, facing the surging orc frenzy, instead of feeling fear, they surged from their hearts.

"Come, let you taste the power of the Spartans, and in the name of the gods, fight! Sparta!" Leonidas shouted, raising the spear in his right hand.

"Sparta!" Behind him, tens of thousands of Spartan hoplites also raised their arms and shouted with their king, and the overwhelming whistling sound suddenly resounded throughout the battlefield, whether it was the legions of various countries guarding the fortress or the defenders stationed in the fortress, they could feel the high fighting spirit of the Spartan legions from this chant.

"My goddess is above, are these Pridizes crazy? dare to take the initiative to provoke in front of so many orcs!" Just on the flanks, the faces of those generals were all earthy, and they felt great admiration for these Spartan legionmen in their hearts, admiring their courage, and at the same time secretly thinking that they were simply taking the initiative to seek death.

This time, the Orc Emperor sent a large number of tribal legions because of the previous defeats, wanting to take down these humans with mantis arms in one go. Almost all of the powerful combat races among the orcs were dispatched.
