The court cabinet of the Middle Kingdom of Mankind had received a message from the Grand Duke of Zora the day before the outbreak of this war, that is, on March 2. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The current Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Grand Duke Mikla, takes this matter very seriously. This prime minister had been following the movements of the northern orcs a few years ago, before he was the prime minister of the kingdom.

When he received a letter from the Grand Duke of Zora asking for help, he immediately asked to see King Laubert, but unfortunately, the king did not pay much attention to this, because according to the rule, whenever an orc attacked the fortress of Kaiding, the Zora family, as the caretaker of the northern border, had to report to the royal capital.

Letters of help like this have been received several times by successive kings over the course of a thousand years, so King Laubert asked Archduke Mikla to consult with his cabinet members before coming to him.

Grand Duke Mikla was almost mad when he received this reply, but he did not insist on his opinion, and a few days later, Grand Duke Mikla regretted it.

Now the human kingdom needs their king, who has been decisive in the army back then, to gather enough troops as quickly as possible to resist the onslaught of the orcs.

Obviously, only the Earl of Gara and the Grand Duke of Mikla were aware of the seriousness of the matter, and the Marquis Eden Yarrow, as Minister of War, actually took advantage of the matter to bargain with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Earl Gara, in exchange for more benefits.

Count Gara knew that the situation was urgent, because his spies had already found out the details of this orc attack, but the War Minister Marquis Eden was obviously unconvinced, and he thought that this was Count Gara's desire to weaken their strength and use the movement of the army to arrange for their people to take the throne.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer was helpless, and in five days of deliberations he had made enough regressions, but the Marquis of Eden Yarrow was clearly not satisfied.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, Archduke Michala, who could not bear it any longer, snatched the guard's saber and smashed a huge gash in the head of the Marquis of Eden with the hilt of his sword, and the blood flowed all over his head, and he looked very miserable.

This blow of the Grand Duke Mikra really woke up the marquis, and he looked at all the members of the cabinet, only to realize that he seemed to have played a little too big this time, but there was no time for him to regret it.

Because, almost at the same time, that is, on the afternoon of March 7, the biennial emergency report from the north came again...

The fortress of Kaiding has fallen!

The fortress of Kaiding, which had not been lost for a thousand years, had been breached by the orcs, and what was even more shocking was that the old Grand Duke Zora was killed in battle, and his head was sealed with wax by the orcs and sent to the hands of little Zora in Klan City.

Of the nearly 50,000 defenders of the fortress, less than 10,000 were withdrawn.

The 20,000 reinforcements who hurried from the west could only curse in the depths of their hearts with hatred, and then returned to their territory in a gloomy manner, and began to lay out the defense line and collect troops.

The orcs sent out an army of 300,000 troops, and at first people salivated at this number, believing that it was a figure that Grand Duke Zora had inflated in order to exaggerate his exploits after defeating the enemy.

After all, in the perception of humans, the orcs are not capable of organizing such a large army, and their poor logistics supply will make their huge army starve to death.

However, a lot of information showed that the orcs really sent an army of 300,000 this time, and it was not until March 8 that King Laubert's intelligence officer received accurate information, and His Majesty hanged the derelict intelligence officer in a fit of rage.

From then on, His Majesty the King, who was obsessed with the wind and moon, realized that his kingdom was facing a crisis unprecedented in a thousand years, and he immediately issued a royal decree, declaring the entire human kingdom to enter a state of war.

At the same time, the First Legion of the Kingdom rushed to the aid of the main city of Klan, the main city in the north.

The Marquis of Yarrow, who had been bargaining with the Count of Gara for the past few days, could only hide in the corner now, secretly praying that His Majesty would not think of him.

However, his prayers were completely useless, perhaps the gods were not interested in dealing with him, the kingdom needed someone to come out and explain the incident, why there was such a serious mistake, this military minister was obviously the best candidate, there was no accident, he was removed from his position, and even the family title was demoted to viscount.

King Laubert once again showed his courage as the ruler of the human kingdom, and he personally led a newly formed hoplite legion and two light infantry legions totaling 130,000 people, and the defensive town of Kwyn in the northwest of the Middle Kingdom in front of him.

According to intelligence, the orc army has split into two routes, one from the fortress of Kaiding to the city of Kran, and the other army is moving in a southwesterly direction to attack the town of Kwen.

The orcs want to encircle the entire Middle Kingdom and annihilate the most powerful armed force of the human kingdom in one fell swoop.

But they forget that there is still an army of the Mikla family in the west, and that the Count of Garru, as the heir of the Grand Duke of Mikla, is the de facto ruler of the West during his father's absence.

The young earl was keenly aware of the orc's intentions, and he ordered the 20,000 soldiers in support of the north to advance north again, and establish a defensive line along the Nida River, two hundred miles in front of the town of Kwyn, to stop the orc attack.

This was undoubtedly the right decision, as their blocking effectively pinned down the orcs most of the time, giving Kwyn plenty of time to set up its defenses, and also squeezing out more time for the royal capital to raise troops.

This 20,000-strong western army, they will face an army of nearly 100,000 orcs, although there is a natural defense line of the Nida River, but their defeat is irreparable.

On the 20th, the Nida River defense line was breached, and the 20,000 western soldiers responsible for defending this front held out for 7 days, showing the unique tenacity of the western people, and in the end, less than 1,000 people withdrew this unit!

Their persistence bought precious time for the town of Kwyn, and the 130,000-strong army led by the Kingdom of Laubert had already arrived at the town of Kwyn, but this newly formed army, except for the hoplite regiment, the other two legions were equipped with less than 20,000 men.

But this does not affect the overall situation, as long as the town of Kwen is temporarily held, with the strong handicraft base of the central king, at most, these soldiers can be equipped.

On the 23rd, the 100,000-strong army of the orcs, led by General Chester, the deputy of the Great Chief of Shikan, approached the town of Kwyn.

In just twenty days, the army of orcs swept through the northern territory of the human kingdom, and now occupies most of the northern territory, and, judging from the current situation, the human kingdom has no strength to counterattack at all.

General Chester did not attack immediately, and his vanguard army only patrolled twenty miles in front of the town of Kwyn before withdrawing from the human defenders.

They chose a hillside location to begin building a camp, where General Chester intended to fight a protracted battle?

King Laubert's idea of waiting for work did not materialize, and he had to change his plans, but he was not discouraged in the slightest, he had a large number of troops at his disposal, and the logistics were constantly replenished.

If there is to be a protracted war, this will undoubtedly be more advantageous for the human kingdom.

But do orcs really want to fight a long war?
