The commander of the army that Agiza led the Booker family behind was Baron Durou, who had fought Gray in Trichadens three years earlier, and this baron was deeply trusted by Viscount Booker. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"What do you think of Viscount Cage's order, he actually sent us to Seka City!" Alfred said with a hint of confusion in his tone, "does he want to wait here for a great battle?"

After a pause, he continued: "However, with the strength of the orcs and the help of the goblin warships, I think our victory rate will be very low, and once we fail, the consequences will be catastrophic!"

"Orcs..."Baron Duru has never seen orcs, not only him, but all the nobles in the entire southern territory have never seen orcs, orcs in their eyes, it should be a group of people fleeing in the desert of the North waiting for death, "They dare to invade our human kingdom on such a large scale!"

"Listening to your tone, don't you seem to believe it?" Alfred looked at Duru in surprise, "According to the news from the royal capital, there are at least 300,000 orcs who have invaded the north, and this is the largest attack of the orc tribe in this thousand years, and the old Duke Zora has lost his life for this. ”

"I don't disbelieve it, my friend, on the contrary, I attach great importance to this orc invasion, this army of 50,000 is likely to be just their vanguard!" Duru looked serious, "The news from all sides can fully prove that the orcs are prepared this time!"

Alfred was slightly stunned, and he agreed with Duru's opinion, "However, the nobles don't seem to have taken a fancy to their invasion, haven't you noticed? ”

After a pause, he continued: "Take this time as an example, this Viscount Cage actually plans to use his more than 10,000 troops to fight against the 50,000 army of the orcs. ”

Speaking of this, Alfred took two quick steps, walked to a simple combat map, pointed to the huge coastline in the south and said: "With such a huge coastal defense line, his little troops are like a drop of water falling into a big river, and at most there are a few ripples. ”

"My friend, you seem to be overly excited, don't think about it with your mind. Duru chuckled, then suddenly asked, "Do you think Baron Cage is an idiot?"

Alfred was stunned, subconsciously shook his head and said: "Of course he won't be a stupid person, if he is a stupid person, there will be no smart people in the entire southern territory!"

The knight knew exactly what it took to go from knight to viscount, although half of Viscount Cage had achieved his current status thanks to his current wife.

"Since he's not stupid, we have to trust that he won't do such a stupid thing, I think he's just trying to fight a small blockade in Seca," Baron Duru said with a smile.

"Blockade?" Alfred, "what's the point, it's a waste of our already small forces!"

"If you think about it this way, we can also destroy the enemy's living forces in this resistance battle!" Duru was able to guess Gray's intentions: "In order to protect against pirates, Seka City has a very good harbor defense, and if we plan it well, we can even consume a quarter of the orcs' war materials in a few days." ”

"But..."

Alfred still had scruples, because Gray's plan was so bold.

"I like Viscount Cage's plan very much!" Baron Duru smiled, "According to the spies, this Viscount Cage has used a large number of farmers to build a fortress near Rocky Mountain and Black Mountain Pass. ”

As he spoke, he tapped the two dots with his finger on the battle map.

"Protracted war?"

Alfred's eyes lit up, but then he frowned and thought about it.

"That's the point, the orcs are expeditionary forces, they can only fight quickly, and the longer the war lasts, the worse it will be for them. "What we're going to do in this war is simple, it's to keep the orcs as slow down as possible. ”

"Can it succeed?" Alfred stared at Balan, "It's too risky, I have to remind you that Byan will lead an army of 50,000 orcs for five days at most!"

He was trying to say that it was impossible for the orcs to march according to our established plan.

"This risk must be taken, since Viscount Cage has asked us to concentrate our forces in Sekka City, then he must have a way to attract orc troops to attack Sekka City!" Baron Duru said in a flat tone.

"I hope so..."

Alfred seemed to suddenly hear something, he lowered his voice and said: "I heard that some nobles in the territory are dissatisfied with the orders of this Viscount Cage, and they do not intend to follow the orders of this viscount, although the Grand Duke has a strict order that the nobles are not allowed to leave their posts without permission, but they have a way to escape punishment!"

"After all, this kind of people are a minority, and they can't make any big waves!" Baron Duroux disagreed.

Alfred frowned and said, "This is not a trivial matter, my lord baron, they don't pay enough attention to this war!"

Baron Duru was stunned, he lowered his head and thought for a while, but did not speak.

Alfred continued: "The nobles generally believe that this attack of the orcs is nothing more than the attack of the previous thousand years, always fierce at the beginning and weak in the later stage, and they have not even considered failure!"

"Also, do you think I don't know what the Grand Duke thinks? Looking at his arrangement, anyone with a little bit of brains can see that he wants to borrow the orc forces to weaken the power of the local territory, will Viscount Cage know? Will he really resist the orcs, or will he preserve his strength?"

Alfred's face was extremely solemn: "I heard some mercenaries who just came from the north say that the combat effectiveness of the orc troops is very strong, and they can even fight against the heavy infantry naked without falling behind, I bet that even Viscount Cage doesn't really pay attention to the orc troops, you should..."

Baron Duroux interrupted his friend's continued conversation: "We can only carry out orders, these words, you can tell Viscount Cage to your face, he should be a commander who can listen carefully to the opinions of his subordinates!"

Alfred was about to say something, but the herald outside the door interrupted his train of thought...

In this war of orc invasion, there are actually many people who have ideas like Baron Duru and Sir Alfred.

But most of them were middle and low-level nobles in the human kingdom, and they didn't even dare to express their opinions.

The upper nobles, on the other hand, valued the great glory that came with the victory of this war, and they regarded this war as a hunt, and they did not take the orcs seriously at all.

Because, their family has dominated the Elan Continent for more than a thousand years, and they are used to looking at everything with a condescending attitude. Even the old Grand Duke Zola, with his own life, did not awaken this group of nobles who were lost in their former glory.
