On the outer city walls of Byan City, Viscount Pedi patrolled the defense line with his tired body, and the war spread to Byan City unconsciously, and the city had never suffered a war in the hundreds of years since the Borg family ruled Byan Territory.

During these two days of war, everyone, including Viscount Pedi himself, seemed to be in a dream, and two months ago, who would have dared to imagine that the city would be attacked by orcs?

In the early morning of the 14th, the orc army, which had been attacking Bien City for two days and two nights, finally stopped, and Viscount Pedi silently watched the orc army retreating like a tide on the city wall.

He did not dare to let his guard down, because he knew that the retreat of the orcs was only temporary, and a larger attack was coming.

He leaned against the battlements covered in sticky blood, letting the blood stain his already blood-red armor.

He wanted to sleep like this against the battlements for a while.

But he can't...

He looked at the soldiers around him, the soldiers who were still fighting bloodily just now showed a trace of fatigue after the orc army retreated, and he was shocked in his heart, he understood why the orcs chose to retreat at this time.

The nervousness swept away Pedi's tiredness, and he ordered the adjutant, "Let the reserve corps complete the change of defense as quickly as possible, and let all the wounded soldiers who have been fighting for more than a day retreat to rest." ”

The adjutant who received the order probably sensed Pedi's nervousness, and hurriedly conveyed his order as quickly as possible.

On the other side...

Sir Gomoe, who is in charge of the transfer of materials, is inspecting the repair work of the city wall, the attack of the orcs has been very fierce in the past two days, and the spare war preparation materials have long been used up, and a large number of civilian workers are dismantling the buildings around the city wall, and almost all the dismantled materials are used to repair the city wall.

While Sir Gowen was inquiring about the progress of the repair, a castle official approached at a trotting with a middle-aged man who looked like a magician, whispering in the old sir's ear.

When the old knight listened to the report of his subordinates, he looked at the middle-aged magician, "The latest order from Viscount Cage you brought?"

The magician politely took off his hat and saluted, "Yes, your Excellency. As he spoke, he pulled out the parchment from his bosom with the Gray family crest on it, the sealing clay intact.

Sir Gowen cautiously took it, then took a few steps quietly, and only slowly opened it when he made sure that no one saw the contents of the warrant.

When the old knight had finished reading the handbook, he said to the somewhat tired magician, "Thank you, Your Excellency, I think you need a cup of coffee to refresh yourself. ”

Immediately, the old knight ordered a few men to take the magician to the castle, and he himself found Viscount Pedi as fast as he could, who was patrolling the city walls.

"It's good news for us, but it's a gamble for Viscount Cage. Viscount Pedy said after reading Gray's warrant.

"He has no choice, my lord. There was not a trace of fluctuation on Sir Gowen's face, "The battle on the Celestial Plains was originally very hasty, this is a game that the orcs have already laid out, and the only one who can break this dead end is Balan City." ”

"You seem to have thought of this plan a long time ago?" Pedi looked at the old knight in surprise, "why didn't you tell Viscount Cage?"

"No, I didn't think of it. The old knight denied it, and there was not a hint of lying on his face.

Viscount Peidi looked at the old sir seriously, but the old sir still had that calm and careless expression, he could only change the topic, "Sir, do you think this plan can be successful? Even if the supply line of the orcs is cut off, what effect will it have? When the orcs just landed in the south some time ago, they held out for a whole week without supplies, and besides, have you forgotten the news brought back by the scouts? Orcs can nibble on tree bark and grass like cattle and sheep!"

Sir Gowen smiled, "Do you know why the orc tribe has been suppressed by our human kingdom for more than a thousand years and can't turn over?"

"Why?" asked Pedi subconsciously, the question that had been swirling in his mind since he had seen the fighting power of the orc army.

Sir Gowen stared at the orc battle flags outside the city, "Because of the blockade of the orc tribes in our human kingdom, the orcs simply do not have extra war materials to support them to fight a large-scale war, and besides, the various clans within the orcs have been fighting one after another. Therefore, if the orc army can be sustained only by tree bark and grass, then we humans live on the Gobi Desert. ”

Viscount Pedi savored Sir Gobble's words, and then said with some uncertainty: "If this is the case, this supply line is equivalent to the lifeblood of the orc expeditionary force, do you think such an important lifeline, the orcs will be defenseless?"

Sir Gowen shrugged and said, "That's not something we can worry about, we can only pray that Colonel Demps will give us a miracle." ”

Viscount Petdy was speechless.

After half a ring, Viscount Peidi asked again: "Viscount Cage asked us to reinforce the Highland Fortress, how many soldiers are you going to send over?"

"For the Highland Fortress, five squadrons are enough. ”

While the two were talking, the army of orcs outside the city had already been assembled, and the loud war drums resounded in the sky again.

-------

At about the same time, Colonel Demps, who was replenishing supplies at the military port of Seka City, also received an order from Gray.

"Good news, Colonel. "The former pirate Bart, now Lieutenant Colonel Bart, was next to Demps, he said after watching the other man's face change.

Colonel Demps glanced at his current first mate and handed him Gray's warrant, "It's not good news, it's just that Viscount Cage agreed to our request to fight." ”

"Oh, is it?" Bart took the warrant and flipped through it, only to hear Demps continue, "It's a mandatory order, and it's time-limited, we must cut off the supply lines of the orcs on the sea within five days, and we must also wipe out the goblin fleet in Balan City. ”

"Time is a bit of a rush, even if it is a tailwind, our fleet will not reach Balan City in three days at the earliest. Bart said unconcernedly.

"Well, let the clippers inform the fleet near Balan City to intensify its reconnaissance of the surrounding waters. Colonel Demps gave the order, "You go and arrange it yourself, and then you go to the logistics office to see the progress of our supplies, and I'll go to Baron Arthur." ”

Demps walked out of the command post, and when he took two steps, he suddenly looked back at Bart, "This plan is classified, don't inform anyone yet." ”

Bart turned to look at Demps and nodded, "Don't worry, I know what to do." ”

...

May 14, 1215 AH, 10:45 a.m.

The Seca City Navy, which was supposed to carry out a day's replenishment work, was completed in just two hours under the personal supervision of the first mate, Lieutenant Commander Barth.

At 11 o'clock, the main fleet of the Seca City Navy left the port under the orders of their commander, Colonel Demps, and the public statement of this departure was that it was ordered to reconnoiter the goblin fleet in the northwestern seas.

This time, instead of writing a logbook in his cabin as he usually did before going to sea, Colonel Demps stood on the deck, next to his new First Mate, Lieutenant Commander Barth.

"I hope your plan will be successful. Colonel Demps said.

Bart smiled, "Don't worry!"
