PS: What about this chapter, it's not just about the battle of Byan Ling, but also about the important main plot.

Anyway, the whole chapter must be watched carefully, otherwise the rest will not be understood!

-------------------

-------------------

Time slipped through imperceptibly, and April of 1215 was about to pass.

The war between the orc tribe and the human kingdom has been going on for almost two months.

Compared to the intensity of the war, the battlefields seemed to be much quieter during this time.

On the battlefield outside the city of Crane in the north, Grand Duke De Rooney did not continue to advance according to King Laubert's orders after driving the orcs out of the sphere of influence around Crane City.

Because, his staff told him that if the current casualties of his troops were calculated, his troops would be exhausted before they could drive the orcs out of the fortress of Kaiding.

And the orc army fought unusually conservatively after the Great Chief of Shikan and the other two Great Chiefs personally arrived at the front line, and the generals of the Orc Legion did not get the attack order they coveted.

The young Grand Chief was waiting for an opportunity, and he was not in a hurry at all, training the recruits who had just arrived at the front every day.

King Laubert of the northwest town of Kwyn and the 100,000 orcs in front of him had been facing off from the beginning, and the only battles had been skirmishes between patrolling soldiers.

Although King Laubert has been addicted to alcohol in recent years, it is undeniable that he is a qualified commander, and he does not have the agitation of youth.

Although he didn't know the plans of the orcs, he was not in a hurry, if it was more advantageous than the war of attrition, the human kingdom's side would have an advantage, and the only thing he was worried about now was the war on the side of Klan City.

According to intelligence, the orcs have increased their forces in the city of Kran.

If the city of Klan is defeated, the 100,000-strong army of Kwen will be forced to retreat.

Therefore, the king did not dare to relax in the slightest, and in the past two months, he had built his army of 100,000 into an army of war.

He was slowly waiting, waiting for his troops to take shape, and his regiment commander told him that in half a month at most, all the troops would be fully equipped, and the logistics could support him to fight a super-large-scale battle.

The king waited patiently for that day to come.

He had already figured out that when the time came, he would personally lead the charge, just as he had done when he was younger.

As long as the 100,000 orc troops outside Kwen Town were defeated, the dead knot of the entire battle situation could be untied, and his troops, as well as the 50,000 troops already assembled in the west, could penetrate directly into the rear of the orc army outside Klan from the west.

In this way, the campaign in the eastern and western regions of the kingdom can be over.

As for the easternmost power of the human kingdom - the Hoko Islands.

The war here is also limited to a handful of naval battles now!

Even, even in this kind of skirmish, both sides fought very conservatively.

Jenina is long gone, and in her words: I don't have time to play with you!

However, the mage troops she brought with her remained in the Hoko Islands.

Several forces seem to be storing their strength, waiting for an opportunity to deliver the enemy's deadliest blow.

The human kingdom that has dominated the Ellan continent for more than a thousand years has once again ushered in her challenge.

Now that the war has been fought, the high-level leaders of the human kingdom have long since woken up from the sweet dream they had just begun.

Heavy infantry dedicated to orc forces began to assemble in various places, and these warriors could finally get out of the dueling arena and go to the battlefield to regain their long-lost honor.

...

...

After a few days of traveling, on the afternoon of the 27th, Gray, escorted by his personal guard, entered the territory of the Herion Domain.

Sir Lola, the current Prime Minister of Herion, who had already received the news, personally greeted him on the border line.

The knight had been transferred back from Covinde after Gray's uncle, Sir Dale, had stepped down as Prime Minister, and his achievements in Covinde's tenure as Prime Minister convinced everyone.

In just two years, without any loans, a city on the verge of bankruptcy has been restored to its former vitality, and it is not just anyone.

"Viscount Cage, I think we should talk alone!" said Sir Lola himself leading Grey's horse.

"Of course!" Gray would not refuse, and said to Baron Tacia next to him, "Let the soldiers be on guard!"

With that, he rolled over and dismounted.

Laura leaned sideways, glanced around, and then looked at Baron Taqia who was leaving, before she lowered her voice and said, "Someone wants to assassinate Master Ollie!"

Gray's eyelids jumped slightly unconsciously when he heard this, his heart tightened, and he subconsciously asked, "What are you talking about?"

His voice was loud, and with a hint of obvious shock and nervousness, Baron Taqia began to walk back when he heard this, this is his duty, and Gray immediately scolded: "Do what you have to do!"

Baron Taqia quickly stopped, stared at Baron Lola with a scrutinizing gaze, and then beckoned the two soldiers to give a few words of command before walking towards a high ground.

"How is he now?" Gray tried to keep his composure, Ollie was not only his son, but also the only heir to the Heron Lord, and it was too much to think about being assassinated at this time.

Who is it that would do this to a child under the age of two?

Sir Laura immediately replied: "Don't worry, Master Ollie was not hurt at all, the assassins didn't even have access to him, we got the news in advance, according to the intelligence officer himself, it was a woman who gave him this news, that woman's information is very accurate, we found the assassin she said in the tavern outside the city, but the man committed suicide by poisoning first after we broke down the door!"

"What kind of woman?" Gray was relieved to hear that his son was fine.

Laura shook her head, "I can't find any information about her, the intelligence officer took her portrait and made us almost search the area around Herion City, but we couldn't find her." ”

"Why didn't you think you could keep her at the time!" Gray already had some guesses in his mind, but he wasn't sure yet.

"According to the intelligence officer himself, the woman suddenly appeared at his house, gave him this information, and then disappeared!" Lola shrugged, looking helpless.

Gray frowned, "What about the assassin? people are dead, and the corpse is always left, is there any clue?"

"With the mark of the Brotherhood, it should be a member of the Brotherhood!" Lola was also fretting about the matter.

"In other words, no clues?"

Laura thought for a moment, "I can't say that, if it's really the Brotherhood people who did it, I think... It shouldn't have anything to do with the orcs, because... According to reliable sources, the Brotherhood hates orcs more than we do. ”

Jazz paused as he spoke, he was probably organizing the wording.

"Second, the people or forces that can invite the Brotherhood are certainly not ordinary people, this kind of people will not be unknown, and now, we have an accident, who can get the greatest benefit? After all, the orcs have arrived at our doorstep. ”

"Huh?" Gray nodded thoughtfully.

He involuntarily took a few steps forward with his legs, and in his heart he agreed with Laura's point of view, he thought for a moment and said, "I have also been assassinated in Seka City, and even my military adviser has been killed!"

"What?" said Lola, apparently unresponsive.

After a few seconds, he came to his senses, and he hurriedly asked, "Who did it?" Did you send a blood pigeon to Harrence City to ask if Mrs. Cage was okay?"

In a matter of seconds, a cold sweat oozed from the knight's forehead, and his lips trembled slightly.

Hearing Lola's inquiry, Gray's face also changed, "You mean, maybe this is a conspiracy against our family and the Lockton family?"

"It's entirely possible!" said Sir Lola, who wanted to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead with his hand, but he found that his palms were also covered with sweat.

"Is Herien still honest with those nobles in the north?" Gray asked subconsciously.

"Of course, most of their forces follow the Earl of Lockton on the expedition, and the rest are not to be feared at all!"

"Send someone to monitor them, and kill them directly if there is any abnormality!"

"But..."

"Nothing, do as I say!"

Gray was in no mood to talk to the old knight at the moment, he rolled over and said, "Say hello to Ollie for me!"

With that, he beckoned Taqia and ran in the direction of Harrence.
