Chapter 601: Spies
A fierce battle during the day, because of the death of Leonidas and the entire Spartan army fell into madness, although with the blessing of Joan of Arc and the bravery of the Spartan warriors, they have been pressing the orcs, but also let the Spartan army suffer heavy losses. After all, the Spartan warriors who had fallen into madness were completely desperate, and even if they were desperate to take a knife, they would have to kill their opponents, how could such a style of play not suffer heavy losses? Moreover, the orcs were blessed by the war songs of many shamans, and the orcs were not powerless to fight back.
If it weren't for the meteorite of Mage Merlin, which completely destroyed the orc camp and broke the morale of the orcs, I am afraid that the entire Spartan army would be completely consumed in this war. It was also this battle that made Leo clearly aware of the shortcomings of the Spartan Legion.
Whether it is individual combat skills or military formations, whether it is the will to fight or morale, the Spartans are a well-deserved fighting nation, but this does not mean that they have no shortcomings. Somewhat similar to those insane and brutal orcs, the Spartans had a hard time calming down once they were in a frenzy of battle. Perhaps this kind of combat frenzy will work wonders in times of crisis, but no commander would want to have a legion under his command that will be out of trouble at any moment.
From this point alone, they can't compare to the Tang soldiers who are resolute and silent. Leo found himself still influenced by the movies and TV stories of his previous life, and preconceived that the Spartans were superior to the other legions, but in reality, this was not the case.
Every legion that can leave its footprints in history has its merits. The most important thing is that the Tang Army attaches great importance to the configuration of bows and crossbows, almost 100% of the soldiers are equipped with bows and crossbows, and if you pick up a bow and crossbow, you are an archer, and if you pick up a sword, you can be called an all-rounder. Such characteristics also allow the Tang Legion to flexibly respond to various situations, unlike the Spartan Legion, which caused certain combat limitations by a single arm.
Leo's knuckles tapped lightly on the back of his chair, whether it was the Spartan legion's fight for his life or the meteorite of Master Merlin's meteorite, it brought Leo a rich reward, and the massive number of gods and goddesses made him not lack soldiers to fight in a short time. So how to choose and configure his legion became Leo's top priority.
In such a battle of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, the strength that heroes or divine creatures can exert is not as much as imagined, and it still depends more on the battle of ordinary soldiers. With the same 10,000 points, summoning a divine creature is completely different from summoning 10,000 soldiers. Just like Achilles, an existence that seems to be invincible so closely, even if he kills him without resistance, how many orcs can he kill alone?
As for the magical creatures, they may be very sharp when used in small battles, but they are also a drop in the bucket in such a large war, and they may be able to play the role of surprise soldiers, but they cannot be a decisive force.
The foundation of everything is still a powerful legion, and it is crushed head-on with an infinite number of legions, and no matter how powerful the enemy is, I am afraid that it will be consumed by Leo in this kind of dignified confrontation.
Leo now has three legions, the Hun Legion, which mainly focuses on cavalry and raids, the Spartan Heavy Legion, which is good at frontal battles, and the comprehensive Tang Army. These three legions are suitable for different situations, which makes Leo hesitate a little, not knowing what the situation will be tomorrow, and which legion should be chosen to deal with.
While Prince Grantham was discussing tomorrow's battle plan with the generals, and Leo was tormented to know how to replenish the legion, a dark shadow quietly left the Fortress of Dawn and ran towards the orc camp.
"Report! Eagle Scout has caught a human spy!" "The Beast Emperor was discussing tomorrow's plans with the Clyde Patriarch when his Praetorian Guards reported from the tent.
"Then kill him and use it as military rations!" commanded the Beast Emperor, who was suddenly interrupted from his thoughts.
The janissary hesitated a little and said, "This ...... , that human spy wants to see you, and he keeps saying that he can help the Empire break through the Fortress of Dawn!"
Hearing this, the eyes of the Orc Emperor and the Fox Clan Patriarch Clyde lit up almost at the same time, and Clyde also ordered again and again, regardless of etiquette: "Bring him in immediately, Your Majesty and I will interrogate him personally!"
Not long after, a human man in a black one-piece suit was carried in by two leon guards.
Clyde had been observing the human from the moment he was brought in, although he had some muscles on his body, but his demeanor did not have the style of a human soldier, his eyes flickered in panic, he was obviously not a scheming person, and his palms did not have the hard calluses left by holding knives and guns for a long time, and he didn't look like a soldier of the Dawn Fortress, but more like a servant of a noble family or something.
When the man was put into the big tent and saw the orc emperor who was not angry and arrogant, his legs were weak and he fell to his knees. Such soft bones made the eyes of the orc emperor and Clyde show a trace of disdain, the orcs are the most martial, they have always taken martial arts as the criterion, and looked down on those who are weak-willed and not strong-willed, and now this human performance is so unbearable, it makes the expectation in the heart of the orc emperor a little colder.
"Who are you, why are you here, explain it honestly, or you will only be used as military rations!" the Orc Emperor asked casually with some impatience, obviously not expecting much of the answer he would give.
"I ...... I...... , the younger one is the servant of the captain of the Silver Legion, Dick Gus, who came to His Majesty the Emperor of the Hand Man on the order of Young Master Gus. Our young master wants to reach an agreement with the Orc Empire, as long as the Orc Empire can ensure that after breaking through the human defense line or destroying the Human Empire, it can continue to ensure the safety of the Gus family's person and property, then Captain Dick Gus can cooperate with the outside and assist the Orc Empire in breaking through the Dawn Fortress!"
This kind of pie-in-the-sky thing, the orc emperor has never thought of it. This is a war of extermination, what are those human beings thinking in their heads? Do you think the orcs are playing with them? and ensure the safety of their people and property, do you really think that the orcs are vegetarians?
