Gray's tone was flat, and it felt like he was chatting with a friend he had known for years.

However, the content of his conversation, which was like an explanation of the aftermath, made Rena unable to relax.

Rena looked sideways at Gray, and she caught a hint of helplessness on Gray's face.

She suddenly fell into a memory...

The first time Rena met Gray on that stormy night, Gray had the same look of helplessness on her face as she did then, but at the time, she only thought it was Gray's hypocrisy.

Rena sat on the back of the horse and didn't dare to move, she was afraid that if she moved, her nervousness would be exposed, and she passively responded to Gray's requests, or orders, she never thought that she would be given such a heavy responsibility, in her subconscious, she should have died earlier than Gray.

She looked forward to that day and feared it. During the battle with the orcs in Byan City, she imagined countless images of herself dying on the battlefield.

As Gray was silent, Rena said, "My lord, we will win. ”

Her expression was serious and serious.

Gray smiled, "Do you think I've lost faith? No, Baron, I've never lost faith in victory, nor have I given up on it, and I'll do my best to lead those soldiers who trust me to victory in this battle." ”

He stroked the family pattern carved on the top of the hilt of the sword, "However, this war is not the war we experienced a few years ago, even if we lose at that time, it doesn't matter, we have a way out, and the nature is different! Now, the entire human kingdom is mired in war, even the Hoko Islands are no exception. ”

Gray was very talkative today, and he whispered, "Well... How so?"

He was organizing the language, and Rena was thinking about what Gray had just said.

Dozens of seconds later, Gray continued: "Now that all the battlefields are in a state of confrontation, there is no way to completely defeat the other side in a short period of time, but such a confrontation cannot last long, now, the only thing we can hope for is the King Laubert stationed in Kwyn Town and the most elite army of hundreds of thousands of the Central King under his command, I believe that as long as he is given enough time, the army of 100,000 orcs outside Kwyn Town will not be a problem for him at all." ”

"My guess is that in half a month to a month at most, the decisive battle on the side of Kwen Town will start, and before that, everyone doesn't want accidents, which is also the core content of my battle order some time ago!"

Rena was stunned when she heard this, she didn't think about those aspects at all, she just racked her brains to defend against the orcs raging in the south.

"So, you see, it's not just the South's problem that we've lost this battle!" Gray's eyes flickered, "I know a lot of people are questioning me, they don't think I have the courage to fight the orcs. ”

"My lord, if that's the case, you've decided to fight the orcs here?" said Rena, in a somewhat uncertain tone.

"I have no choice, Baron!" Gray looked at the clear blue sky to the west, "If the orcs break through the Cowin Territory, they can enter the Aegisa Territory directly from the Seku Territory, you should know that with the current defense of those two territories, the orcs can definitely sweep everything in three days." ”

"Do you know what this means? According to the speed of the orcs' march, at most half a month, the orc expeditionary force in the south can flank the king of Laubert in Kwyn Town with the 100,000 orc army outside Kwyn Town?"

Rena's face changed, and her heart skipped a beat, "The Western Frontier should stop the orcs, right?"

"Don't underestimate the dwarves, Baron, do you think they will really give up this rare opportunity, if it weren't for the 80,000 troops of the West, their hoplites would have joined the war long ago. Gray smiled, "Didn't you notice that some of the weapons of the orc soldiers are even tougher and sharper than our soldiers'?"

Rena's face was full of shock, and she asked, "You mean the dwarves are funding the orc tribe?"

"It's impossible to fund, it can only be said to be a transaction, the goblins are helping the orcs, the dwarves are also helping the orcs, this is a matter on the surface, with the wisdom of the Grand Duke of Mirak in the west, will these not know? But they are still trading, which means that their transaction is not even able to stop the Grand Duke Mikla, the only thing he can do is to let his soldiers be stationed at the foot of the Luo Dan Mountains to prevent the sneak attack of the orc army!"

Most of Gray's information was inquired about by Thor through the means of the Secret Magic Society, and he now told Rena to let the other party know what kind of situation he was facing.

Reina was digesting what Gray had said, and Gray suddenly asked, "Baron Duru was evacuated from Byan City with you, right?

"Yes, he said he would gather some men to reinforce us if necessary!" Reina replied subconsciously.

Gray chuckled, "He's a smart man, he won't come, don't count on his reinforcements, but I'm relieved to have him defend the Aegisa Territory, and besides, I've let Amy go back, and the people of the current Seku Territory need their heir to lead them." ”

"You should understand my situation by now, right?" said Gray's eyes with helplessness.

Rena nodded, "I think I get it!"

She really got it.

In this battle, whether defeated or won, Gray cannot take a step back.

His fate was linked to this battle.

Victory is good, but if it fails, the orcs open the way between the southern border and the town of Kwyn.

At the same time, most of the southern border can be used as a transit point and supply base for the orcs, and at that time, the goblins will definitely increase their support for the orc tribes, and maybe the goblins who help Gray now will also defect!

The fall of Seka City is a matter of time, and after the fall of this port city, the route between the Hoko Islands and the orc tribes will be completely opened, is there an agreement between the Misha Kingdom and the orcs?

Therefore, if the battle fails, within half a month, the troops on all battlefields of the entire human kingdom will collapse!

If Gray escaped the battlefield alive and returned to his fiefdom, everyone would blame him for the fault, and they would have thought that Gray's cowardice had allowed the orcs to cross the South with impunity.

His family will be spit on by all the people of the human kingdom, and even beggars will have the right to curse him on the streets.

In the end, regardless of whether the human kingdom wins the war or not, King Laubert will not hesitate to hang him.

On the contrary, if he dies in battle, even if he loses the battle, then he will also be a hero of the human kingdom, and his deeds may become the text of King Laubert's speech to encourage his soldiers.

So, in this social environment, Gray has no choice!
