Chapter 602: Battle
Just as the Beast Emperor was about to wave his hand and let the guards drag this human out as military rations, the Fox Clyde Patriarch on the side suddenly asked, "Then why did the Legion Leader of Dick Gus you mentioned come to trade with the Orc Empire?"
Seeing that the Clyde patriarch was interested in this human, the Orc Emperor simply let Clyde interrogate him, maybe what could Clyde find out from it?
"This ......," the servant visibly hesitated. However, completing the task was far higher than the obligation to cover up the ugliness of Young Master Dick, so he continued: "It was because Young Master Dick Gus had drunk and misbehaved, which caused the Silver Legion to suffer heavy losses in the previous battle, so Prince Grantham, the commander-in-chief of the front, removed the young master from his post and imprisoned him in a cell. If the war ends, then the young master will become the laughing stock of the empire, but if the orcs break through the human realm, then the young master's problem will disappear forever in the war!"
I don't know if this was given to him by Dick Gus himself, but after the servant had finished speaking, he let out a sigh of relief, and waited for the orc emperor's reply as if he had resigned himself to his fate. Although from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want the young master to do such a rebellious thing, but for the sake of the Gus family and his own family, he could only obey the young master's orders and be a spy who would definitely be spurned in the future.
After the servant finished speaking, Clyde was silent for a moment, and the constant glint in his eyes showed that he was also trying to think in his heart. This news is tantamount to a super pie falling from the sky for the current orcs, but high returns also mean high risks, the orc army can no longer withstand the toss, once this pie is a trap for those humans, then it will be a devastating blow to the orcs.
After much consideration, Clyde ordered the servant to be taken out, and at the same time turned to the orc emperor and suggested: "Your Majesty, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, maybe we can rely on the guidance of this human general who is greedy for life and fear death, and in one fell swoop, we can break through the Dawn Fortress, which is known as the strongest fortress on the entire continent. ”
The Orc Emperor's face did not show any joy, he said with a little doubt: "The risk of doing this is too great, if it is a trap, then the blow to us will be too great, I can't take this risk!"
Patriarch Clyde smiled slightly, his eyes full of confidence and said: "Actually, this is not in conflict with the actions we discussed before, we only need to arrange a raid team to stay in the camp and wait for the signal of the Gus Legion Leader, and the other tribes will still go around the Dawn Fortress according to the original plan, and we will also act with great fanfare, clearly telling those humans that if we don't leave the city, then we can only watch us enter their hinterland." But if the humans are really fooled and get out of the city, the raiding team will seize the Dawning Fortress, and our army will also kill the human army in one fell swoop by virtue of the field battle, and then both the Dawning Fortress and the human Sacred Griffin Empire will be slaughtered by us!"
"Good!" the Orc Emperor stood up and applauded the idea of the Clyde Patriarch, thinking to himself: this old fox is indeed very resourceful, and it seems that he must tie the fox to the lion chariot and must not let them get out of control.
Clyde also bowed humbly and saluted the Orc Emperor to show that he could not accept His Majesty's praise. As for what was going on inside its smiling expression, no one knows.
This night, the humans and the orcs maintained an extremely strange peaceful night, without any attacks and sneak attacks, nor any harassment, as if the two sides seemed to have discussed, and they had a tacit understanding to rest all night.
The next day, just after dark, Prince Grantham was called out by the soldiers on duty.
"What's going on, what's going on?" asked His Royal Highness the Prince, who had been overworked these days, and had obviously not yet recovered, with a tired expression.
"Report, there is a change in the orc camp, and those orcs seem to be packing up and preparing to leave the camp!"
"What?" Prince Grantham was slightly surprised, but it made sense to think about it. All the baggage in the orc camp was destroyed by a meteorite, and now the orcs can only fight with human soldiers on a hungry stomach, which will definitely not work, and the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for the orc side, and the withdrawal seems to be the best choice for the orc side.
But these orcs, who have always been arrogant, will swallow this breath so obediently? According to what they know, these orcs must have broken through the Fortress of Dawn to wash away their shame, and with the dead brains of the orcs, they must have broken through the Fortress of Dawn to be able to vent their anger. If they just fled back to the wasteland with their tails between their legs, would the orcs still deserve to be called orcs?
Prince Grantham's instincts told him that there must be some secret hidden in it, and the more he was in the final moments of the dawn, the more calm he had to be. Taking a deep breath, His Royal Highness suddenly thought that the orcs were calling this war a holy war, so it was absolutely impossible for them to retreat like this, in that case they would definitely lose the protection and favor of the beast god.
"Order the legions of all countries on the east and west sides to camp closer to the fortress, send double the number of men to all garrison posts, and order the Golden Legion and the Tang Legion to immediately enter the defensive position, pay close attention to every move of the orcs, and never let them sneak attack!" Prince Grantham commanded loudly.
With the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, this Dawning Fortress was like a clockwork machine, and everyone was ready for battle in an orderly manner. While the humans were preparing, the orcs had already completed their preparations for camp.
From the commanding edge of the fortress, Prince Grantham noticed that the orc army had really drawn camp and was about to leave, but it always seemed that something was not quite right in their movements.
"The orcs are marching south, and they want to bypass the fortress!" exclaimed one of the operational staff officers, who had clearly guessed what the orcs were intent on.
Prince Grantham's eyebrows furrowed, what the hell are these orcs up to, don't they know that entering the hinterland of the Holy Griffin Empire before breaking through the Dawning Fortress will be flanked by human reinforcements and the defenders of the Dawning Fortress? That orc emperor doesn't seem to be so stupid, right?
At this moment, Leo Den took a few steps to the command platform and said to Prince Grantham: "Your Royal Highness, my Hun scouts have found that the orc army is heading south, and it looks like they want to bypass the fortress and attack the city behind!"
