Since the last defeat, Gangsas City has been greatly injured, and it has already had the advantage but still ended up in a fiasco, which makes Upton's heart fall into an ice cave, but what worries him more is King Theodore, this opportunity is won by himself with great effort, but now how to explain such a result to the king?

Upton, who was covered in gauze, sat alone on the bed, staring at the corner of the room with a pair of empty eyes, but he didn't know what he was thinking, and when he was in a daze, Fred suddenly broke in, "Adult,、、、" looked at Upton's expression, but he didn't know how to speak.

"What's wrong?" Upton looked at Fred who burst in like an overly frightened child, and he knew that something must have happened, and his heart couldn't help but hang.

"His Majesty the King is here. As soon as these words came out, he saw that Upton's face was bloodless, and his body shook as if he was about to fall down at any time, Fred hurriedly stepped forward to help him lie down, "Or I'll explain to Your Majesty、、、"

"Help me up. Upton struggled, wanting to sit up again, but the pain on his body made his face distort for a while, originally he was just a sixth-order martial artist, in Calais, a country that advocates martial arts, such a person can only be regarded as a civil official, but for his own plan he decided to personally lead the team, but he didn't expect to be ambushed by the opponent, and it was a miracle to be able to come back alive.

At this moment, a loud voice suddenly sounded, "Don't get up, I know you have injuries, so I'll come to see you." ”

Hearing this, Upton's expression became even more panicked, and he pulled a piece of clothing and draped it on, and then rolled under the bed, and knelt there with difficulty with Fred's support, waiting for Theodore's arrival.

The room, which was originally quite spacious, suddenly became crowded with Theodore entering, and his huge body even lowered his head in this three-meter-high room, he couldn't help but look at the two kneeling on the ground, and said casually, "Get up." ”

At this time, someone had already moved in a huge chair, and Theodore sat on it steadily, only then did he feel more comfortable, "Upton, I know you have done your best, but our enemies are so cunning, I will not blame you for this defeat, but I also hope that you will not try to stop my next plan." ”

Upton's face turned even paler, and cold sweat ran down his cheeks, but he didn't bother to wipe it, and hurriedly said, "Does Your Majesty still plan to go to war with the Omar?"

"Yes, not long after your defeat, I have sent the war letter to Omar, and they will not only usher in our Calais Iron Fist, but also bear all our anger and hatred, the blood of those hundreds of thousands of soldiers will not be shed in vain, and I will definitely avenge you. ”

"But Your Majesty,、、、" Before he could finish speaking, Theodore waved his hand, "Okay, don't say any more, I know that you want to persuade me not to send troops, but now that the arrow is ready to fly, it is impossible to cancel this war, you can rest assured that I will definitely win, and today I see that you have something to arrange for you to do." ”

"Your Majesty, please. "Actually, the thing is very simple, as soon as the war starts, we need a large number of slaves, and we also have to consolidate the rear, although the orcs have been suppressed by us and have no ability to resist, but we still have to be careful, so I thought of you at once, you have just produced the most food for us Calais for so many years, it can be seen that you know more about the orcs than others, I plan to send you into the frozen swamp, lead the hundreds of thousands of garrisons there, strictly control the movement of the orcs, and don't let them make trouble, you can rest assured that Gangsas City is still yours, you just temporarily go to the frozen swamp to prevent the orcs, and when the war is over, I will definitely reward you heavily." 。 ”

Hearing this, Upton's heart suddenly jumped a few times, he already smelled a hint of nervousness, it seems that Theodore's battle will definitely not be as simple as fighting for a little bit of mercenary city.

"Your Majesty has the courage to ask, what does Your Majesty want to achieve in this battle?" Hearing this, Theodore couldn't help laughing, "The Omar people have occupied the forest mines for many years, and it is time to hand them over, in this battle, I will not only take all the forest mines, but also ask Omar to hand over the land of the three principalities of Julio, Charlotte, and Harris." ”

Not only did Upton's face change drastically, but even Fred, a battle-hardened general, couldn't help but feel terrified, and Upton exhorted with a strong spirit, "Your Majesty, you must think twice、、、、" Okay, okay, I know that you will definitely talk about the truth, you should keep those reasons and tell those orcs, as long as you can persuade them to settle down, it will not take a year for us to have a large area of fertile land on the map of Calais, as well as countless carpentry mines, and then we Calais can rely on these resources to become truly strong, haven't you always worried about the blood clan in the north? When I win the war with the Omar people, I will wave my army north, and completely wipe out those hated blood clans from this world, only in this way will I not disgrace the honor of our Titans, and only in this way will I be worthy of my wise and great ancestors, who used their blood to lay this land for us to survive, but we have not made any progress in thousands of years, I am now middle-aged, if I don't make up my mind to do a few big things, I am afraid that the years will smooth out my ambitions, and even if I have such thoughts again, I will be powerless。 ”

"I know that you are a loyal courtier, and I know that you have built the city of Gangsas well over the years, but you are too gentle on the orcs who produce food for us, you must know that slaves are always slaves, and if your whip is loosened, they will snatch it and whip you, so this time I remind you, don't be merciful, once our army and Omar are fiercely fighting, these orcs will make a name for themselves, and we will not be able to deal with the war on two fronts at that time. ”

Even if Theodore didn't say this, Upton also knew the stakes, he knew that the king's determination had been decided, and he had been planning this matter for many years, and it was definitely not something he could persuade himself, so he completely gave up his heart of persuasion, and couldn't help but respectfully salute, "Thank you Your Majesty for being able to forgive the crime of defeat of the lower officials, and this time the lower officials will definitely not be merciful to the orcs and delay Your Majesty's major affairs." ”

"Okay, this is my good courtier, but don't worry, I won't let you take on such a big matter alone, I have already given orders to the other three cities, and I will also give orders to the army that guards the orc station, they are estimated to have begun to move now, I think it won't be long before we can organize a five-million orc slave army, so that not only will there be less unstable factors, but also they will consume the strength of the Omar people in front, and wherever our Calais Iron Fist goes, those cunning Omar will definitely be invincible, hahaha。 As soon as Theodore's voice fell, several attendants behind him shouted in unison, "Your Majesty the King is wise!"

This sentence made Upton cry and laugh, I don't know when it started, King Theodore actually liked this set, faintly made people feel that his self-confidence was extremely inflated, maybe as an ordinary person is just saying a little big thing, or doing one or two wrong things, but for a king, this kind of over-inflated self-confidence is by no means a good thing.

Although Upton did not receive any punishment on the surface, and was also delegated to a heavy task, but the discerning person knew at a glance that this was actually a disguised distribution, which got him from Gangsas City to the frozen swamp, although Theodore said that the war could be ended in a year, but if it really started, who could accurately foresee the rapidly changing war situation?

However, the task sent by the king is indeed very arduous, if it is really in Calais and Omar when the two countries are fighting, the orcs attack in the rear, I am afraid that Calais will be in danger of being attacked on the back, although such things have also happened in history, and they were finally wiped out by Calais's powerful army, but the price paid is also quite heavy.

After Theodore left, Upton dragged his collapsed body back to bed, and then he looked at Fred and couldn't help asking, "What do you think is a good way to deal with orcs?"

"With all due respect, I think it should be the best policy to deal with orcs with strong enough force to make them lose their will to resist. "Hmm. Upton nodded, but this answer was completely contrary to his thoughts, so many years he has always been very generous to the orc slaves under his rule, as long as they can pay enough food, then the rest will be their own, although the amount of tax and grain collected accounts for almost eighty percent of the total harvest, but at least the remaining food is enough for those slaves to eat, compared to the other three cities, all the food is sucked away, and the orcs are only those bran and wheat stalks that are so hard that mules and horses don't like to eat, and it is precisely because of this that the orcs in Gangsas City will work so hard to maximize the grain production, so that they will have more food left。

After listening to Theodore's arrangement, Upton already had an idea in his heart, he planned to move a group of orcs out of the frozen swamp, the number of people was about two million, so that a vacuum could be formed between Upton City and the frozen swamp, although it was only a line of dozens of miles, but if the defenders were closely guarded, and any orcs who dared to cross this isolation zone would be killed, then the pressure on the defense should be much less, but the survival of these two million orcs is a big problem, it is already winter, if they are not allowed to eat a mouthful of hot porridge, I am afraid that these two million orcs will be the first to rebel, but what can be used to feed them now?

"Hey, I hate winter, when will this damn winter pass? Upton let out a sigh, and Fred couldn't help but say, "My lord, winter will definitely pass, I believe in Your Majesty's means, just now he has said that he will recruit five million orcs from the orcs in the frozen swamp to form a powerful slave army, I think that after such a large group of orcs are recruited, the strength of the orcs will be greatly weakened, so that our pressure will be much less." ”

Upton couldn't help but look at Fred, and said secretly in his heart" You know there, if Theodore doesn't recruit so many orcs out, maybe those orc groups can still make a living by hunting, it is precisely because of the conscription of these five million slave corps that the frozen swamp is even more uneasy, every time you grab slaves, I am afraid you have to kill the same number of orcs to succeed, that is, this winter frozen swamp will lose tens of millions of orcs, these are all young and strong orc boys, without these young men hunting, how many orc groups will fall in hunger and cold this winter? Hunger will be the biggest disaster of this winter, and anything can happen in the face of death. But he muttered, "I hope so." ”
