Section 3

Inside the tent of the main army in the frontline camp outside Byan City, Rena and a group of nobles gathered.

In the area around the Bonn Territory, according to Gray's request, only about 5,000 troops were deployed.

Moreover, all of them were recruits, basically recruited by Viscount Pedi temporarily after the outbreak of the war, and as for Gray's main force, they would not join this doomed battle.

Viscount Pedy and Sir Gowen were silent about this.

An emergency evacuation notice has been issued for Byantown, and most of the citizens have begun to pack up and evacuate to the Covind area or the Harrence area. As for the farther villages and towns, Viscount Peidi only sent fast horses to report, he didn't know the specific situation, and he didn't have time to pay attention to it, and the fate of those people could only be handed over to the goddess.

Gray's purpose in organizing this resistance battle is very clear, which is to destroy as much of the orc's living force as possible, and destroy their transportation and supply lines as much as possible.

But the commander of the orcs was very smart, he obviously estimated the plans of Gray's side, so the orc troops were not in a hurry to attack, they were slowly gathering troops.

In fact, as early as the 25th of last month, the vanguard of the orcs had already arrived on the outskirts of Bien City.

At that time, their troops were not large, and they could not survive more than 3,000 deaths.

Baron Duru was in vogue for an all-out assault to crush the orcs' vanguard with a thunderbolt.

It has to be said that this is a bold idea, which is in line with his previous conducting style.

It was also a wise decision.

The idea of this excellent commander is simple, since it is a doomed battle, then, it does not matter if you lose early or later, as long as you complete the established strategic plan.

Besides, if they can really defeat the vanguard of the orcs in one fell swoop, maybe they can still make their follow-up troops have some scruples.

However, Rena and Viscount Pedi did not agree to his plan, which was also in line with the thoughts of most commanders, after all, the orcs were menacing, and if the attack was unfavorable, the blocking plan they had prepared half a month ago would be completely ruined.

However, there were also many nobles who supported Baron Durou's opinion, but the insistence of Rainer and Viscount Pedi prevented the baron's plan from being realized.

Viscount Pedi didn't want to end the battle here too much, he wanted to buy enough time for the citizens and supplies to be transferred.

As for Rena, it was the first time to command such a battle, and she didn't dare to take too many risks, and she had a heavy burden on her now.

Baron Duroux was silent about this.

In the end, the result of the discussion was to send a large infantry phalanx for a tentative attack.

Commanders need to understand the combat effectiveness of the orc troops, as well as how they fight, to prepare for the big battle that follows.

Soon, a large group of soldiers was selected, and they, led by a middle-aged knight, began to advance towards the orcs improvised front guard tower.

Soon, the orc forces discovered the movements of the human army, and they dispatched hundreds of warriors.

The battlefield is a low-lying green space.

The supreme commanders of each side chose a high ground as a temporary forward headquarters, and the reserve forces were also secretly waiting for an opportunity.

"Array, gun raised!"

The middle-aged knight desperately waved the command sword in his hand, and the war horse ran back and forth in front of the formation.

The orc warriors had already begun to charge when they saw the human formation, and the formation they charged in a large formation was so large that the human soldiers at the forefront could even feel the waves of air coming from the pavement.

"Steady, steady, don't shoot!"

The knight shouted at the top of his voice that he needed to make his presence felt by the soldiers.

The orc charge continues, and the two teams are getting closer and closer!

The knight looked at the distance of the orc troops, he suppressed the fear and nervousness in his heart, and waited slowly!

"Raise your shield!

When the orc troops were only a hundred paces away from them, the knight hurriedly ordered the troops to start advancing!

"Hold on, damn it, follow my pace...", the officers' voices kept ringing at this moment, and they needed to let the recruits know how to follow in his footsteps!

Soon, the two troops were fighting together.

Blood infects the earth in an instant.

The charge of the orc warriors was more powerful than expected, and the front row of soldiers was even knocked out, but the orcs also paid a heavy price for this, and the dense array of guns reaped the lives of many orc warriors.

The soldiers in the back didn't have time to think about it at all, and they filled the hole as quickly as they could under the leadership of their own commander.

There is no superfluous thinking on the battlefield, only hard fighting.

The battle continues!

It wasn't until half an hour later that the commander of the orc vanguard gave the first signal to retreat.

And Rainer and Viscount Pedi did not want to fight any longer, because the task of this battle had been completed, and it would be unprofitable to fight any more than to increase casualties.

The results of the after-war show that the ratio of casualties between the armies on both sides is as high as 1:3, with 1 on the orc side and 3 on the human side.

The statistical results silenced all the nobles!

This battle was the only frontal battle in the past half a month, and the largest number of patrols after that was no more than a hundred people.

The orcs were waiting for their time, and Rainer regretted not following Baron Duru's advice.

"According to the intelligence, the orc forces have increased again!" Baron Duru pointed to the front line in front of the high ground northwest of the city of Byan, "They have placed nearly a thousand troops here at once, including two squadrons of goblin assaulters!"

"Where exactly?" Rena's mood has been getting worse and worse these days.

Baron Duru shook his head, "Because the terrain there is complicated, the surrounding area is mostly faulty cliffs, and it is covered with dense forests, our scouts can only reconnoiter the general situation, as for the details, we have to continue to reconnoitre!"

"Then send the best scouts and continue scouting!"

...

...

Owin was originally a hunter in the northern territory of Harrence City, his village was outside a dense forest next to the Anku Mountains, and the main source of income for the people of the village was to hunt the wild beasts in the dense forest, obtain their furs, and then trade some living goods in the city.

He could have lived his life in peace, but the war launched by Viscount Donna a few years ago made his peaceful life go forever.

After the defeat and death of Viscount Donna, his village was sacked by Viscount Keith, the successor of the Harrens Lord.

This was the most important raw material for making soldiers' inner armor, and it was better than the skins of poultry, and these were important strategic resources for the nobility in wartime.

The relentless fire had reduced their village to rubble, and he didn't even know who had destroyed his home!

Immediately afterward, with no way out, he joined the rebels of the Northern Noble Alliance.

He was overjoyed at the time when the rebels were at their most glorious time in the storming of Harrens, enjoying the feeling of conquering a city, even though he was only a small soldier at the time.

But then he learns that these are just the games of the nobles who are high in the morning.

The Northern Noble Alliance disappeared overnight, yes, just disappeared, as if there had never been such a group, and the next day, his unit was told that they would be disbanded.

In just a few days, Harrence City changed owners three times.

The final ruler fell into the hands of a young man.

Later, in order to make ends meet, he joined the army of that young nobleman.

Over the years, Owen had grown from a recruit to a veteran, and he had become a squad leader for a scout team because of his excellent tracking skills and archery.

Now, the young scout captain is about to face a war with the orcs.

"Owen!"

A rough voice sounded behind Owen, and he quickly turned around, "Squadron leader, what, do you have another mission?" You know, the brothers have just returned, and they are all tired!"

The person who came was the squadron leader of the reconnaissance squadron of Baron Rainer's front command and Owen's immediate boss, Alvin.

"This mission is not urgent, you can rest for two hours!" Alvin is a typical southerner, his big blue eyes look very tired, "The command received information that the orc troops seem to have been found behind the battle line in the northwest highlands of the Been Territory, and our reconnaissance squadron is needed to confirm the accuracy of the information, as well as their specific location!"

Owen frowned, "This should be considered an urgent mission, how can it be delayed?"

"It's not a task that can be done in a moment, you and your people should rest a little longer!" Alvin said bluntly, because he had to let his subordinates know what kind of situation he was going to face.

"I see!" Owen would not refuse the kindness of his superiors, as he and his men really needed to rest.
