vs 16 The war that has just begun
When the war in the Hoko Islands officially began, the war under Crane City had entered a white-hot stage, and the main force of the orcs had broken through the layers of defenses arranged outside Crane City, and the army had really come to the city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
And although the 100,000-strong orc army outside Kwen Town was menacing, it seemed that they were going to capture Kwen Town in one go, but when it was time to fight, there was no movement.
When King Laubert received an urgent report from Crane City, he discovered the orc's intentions, but it was already too late.
Now, even if King Laubert himself wanted to fight quickly, the orcs would not agree, and they had already built a defensive line of about twenty kilometers fifty miles from the town of Kwyn.
The 100,000 army of orcs has firmly stuck the 130,000 army of the Western Frontier and the Middle Kingdom.
If the Laubert Kingdom withdraws its troops and reinforces the city of Crane in a roundabout way, then the army of 100,000 orcs outside Kwen Town will immediately attack and completely destroy the Central Kingdom, an important town in the northwest.
The idea of the West's entry into Kwyn was only a flash in King Laubert's mind, just kidding, he wouldn't hand over such an important frontier town to the local army, not even the army of his friend Archduke Mikla.
The First Legion immediately became the object of the anger of King Laubert, and His Majesty the King even wrote a letter of denunciation to the Legion Commander, Viscount Daig Lanna.
He was told in the letter that if his troops did not reach the city of Crane before April 5, his fate would be the same as that of his brother-in-law, Marquis Eden Yarrow, the former military town of the kingdom.
His Majesty's orders were more effective than any other official in the Cabinet, and when Viscount Daiger Lanna received orders from His Majesty, he was visibly frightened, and he gave up all the dry rations that the squeezed out legion could take with him, and gave up to his vanguard cavalry regiment, and ordered that the commander of the Knights must be made to the city of Crane within two days.
Finally, his cavalry regiment arrived at the foot of the city of Crane at about three o'clock in the afternoon of April 4.
Moreover, the arrival of this cavalry regiment was very good, at that time, an infantry regiment of the orcs was piling up sand and gravel into the moat of the city of Kran, and the soldiers of the two armies under the city were in a stalemate, and the army of the orcs was far away from the large camp ten miles away.
This was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity, and the commander of the cavalry regiment decisively ordered to storm the left flank of the then defenseless orc infantry regiment, which was a very correct decision.
The orc siege force faced the charge of 5,000 cavalry, although desperately resisted, but it was also helpless, plus Count Tim, who commanded the troops to defend the city of Kran, seized the opportunity and ordered the two brigades of cavalry in the city to go out of the city to respond.
And at this time, because the commander of the victorious orcs, the commander of the First Legion, General Fang, was talking about his exploits with the messenger sent by the Great Chief of Shikan, and when the sound of rolling horses' hooves came, he didn't even know what was happening.
When the battlefield scout reported what had happened to the besieging troops in front of him to Fang, although the general was full of anger, he was helpless, and he did not dare to order the troops to rescue the besieging troops who were already in chaos.
On the other hand, Count Tim showed the characteristic caution of a middle-aged man, and after the troops recaptured a small area of the city, he was no longer greedy, and immediately ordered the troops to step up the repair of the defenses that had been destroyed by the orcs.
After he gave the order, even the citizens of the city spontaneously organized themselves to help the defenders repair the damaged walls.
On 7 April, the remaining reinforcements of the First Legion arrived in Crane, and the Orcs' plans to capture Crane were even more remote.
The Great Chief of Shikan was furious, and decided to personally go to the front line of Crane City to direct this battle that was related to the life and death of their entire orc clan, and of course, the other two great chieftains of the orc tribe went together.
At the same time, both sides play their final hole cards, the magicians of the humans and the wizards of the orcs. From now on, the battle for Crane City will become even more brutal.
Wizards and magicians are essentially the same, except that the casters are studying in different directions.
The most different thing is that wizards control the things that exist through the power of the magic web, such as controlling the earth, controlling mountains and rivers, and their spells are more focused on geographical location, but more powerful.
The magician, on the other hand, uses the power of the magic net to concretize the magic elements and achieve the effect of creating something out of nothing.
On April 15, reinforcements from the south arrived at the city of Crane, and now the orcs seemed to have no chance of taking the city.
But the Great Chief of Shikan did not give up, and he persuaded the two chiefs again.
This time, the young chief did not attack again, but retreated their troops fifty miles, and at the same time, they took out a large amount of food and supplies captured in the north, and once again recruited 100,000 orc warriors to join the war.
The three great chieftains of the orc tribe, ready to fight a real all-out war.
On the other side, as the human nobles prepare to celebrate their impending victory, a fast horse is galloping from the military port of Fedenus towards the royal capital of the Middle Kingdom.
Within a few days, a shocking news reached every corner: a force calling itself the Kingdom of Misha was attacking the Hoko Islands, and had already occupied one-third of the Hoko Islands.
When King Laubert learned of this, he didn't attract much attention at first, after all, this is a kingdom that has never been heard of, and in the king's heart, such kingdoms have appeared countless times in the history of human hegemony.
But when King Laubert looked at the giant map in his military conference room, his brow furrowed imperceptibly.
He first stared at his location, the town of Kwyn.
Then he set his sights on Crane City, a city under the baton of war, and then on the Hoko Islands, while he picked up a pen and marked it on the map.
His Majesty asked the chief of his guard, Baron Hasian, "It seems that there is information that there is an orc expeditionary force on the southern side as well?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Haxian replied immediately, "according to reliable information, there will be an army of 50,000 orcs landing in the south!"
"South?" muttered His Majesty the King, then marked the South.
After doing this, he took two steps back, and then stared at the huge map, and after a few seconds, King Laubert's face changed suddenly, and Hasian next to him stared at the map deadly.
Immediately, King Laubert came back to his senses, and muttered to himself, "Dwarves, elves, goblins?"
At the same time, his gaze flickered over the three areas.
From the marks on the map, it is clear that a huge siege network is firmly trapping the human kingdom, and now, as long as any of the dwarves, elves, and goblins join this huge siege network, then the situation of the human kingdom will become very dangerous.
"Quick, herald, let Grand Duke Mikla come to Kwyn as quickly as possible!" King Laubert said hurriedly, his tone a hint of anxiety.
After thinking about it, His Majesty said: "Appoint, Grand Duke Duruny in Crane City, as the Minister of War of the Kingdom, with full authority to coordinate the battlefield in the north, and let him force the orcs to retreat to the fortress of Kaiding at the end of June." ”
The soldiers who gave the order galloped all the way with the orders of His Majesty the King.
Almost at the same time, hundreds of miles away in the royal capital, Grand Duke Mikla also said to his attendants: "Go and prepare, I will rush to the town of Kwen as soon as possible to meet His Majesty the King." !”
Before leaving, Grand Duke Micha said to Count Gara: "Don't let those merchants make trouble again, sometimes let them see the bloody methods of the nobles, it is also necessary!"
When the human nobles thought that this war was about to end, they suddenly found that it had just begun.
