Chapter 112: Steady Progress
Before committing suicide, Simeon told Davenport about the causes and consequences of this defeat and his re-examination of the orcs. He didn't blame Davenport all the time, because from the time he fled back, he knew he wouldn't survive............ Having lost 200,000 troops, he has no face left to live.
In the huge tent of Davenport, the commander of the army, who had been summoned by him, held a pre-battle military meeting.
Simeon's death was a wake-up call for them, and all the generals who had been in high spirits and complacent at the beginning restrained their arrogance and began to treat the orcs with caution and seriousness. Davenport communicated his strategy smoothly!
"Anyone knows that we have an army of two million, and in every sense of the word, victory should be ours. But the death of those 200,000 troops shows us that orcs are not as easy to deal with as imagined. So I hope you can remember this and remember what happened to Simeon. Everything must be strictly in accordance with my orders, and if anyone dares to disobey my orders and act without permission, then I will let him go and be the company of Simeon. β
Davenport's voice was calm, but his words were anything but peaceful. The generals brought from the Holy See were silent, and none of them raised their voices to disagree. These people may have a deep background in the Holy See, and this time they followed Davenport to conquer the orcs, which was also regarded as a gilded operation. But Simeon's body was still hanging outside, and it also made them realize that it was Davenport who was in command of the two million army at the moment, and he had great power in his hands to dispose of anyone. If anyone offends him, here, the Holy See has no connections to the whip, and even if he is punished and executed by Davenport, their family or backstage will not have time to intercede and save people.
If you don't want to suffer immediate losses, you can only choose to be obedient and obedient. It was because everyone acquiesced to Davenport's authority and carefully obeyed his commands. This makes the controller very happy. Alone in power and leading a huge army into battle, he had dreamed of this day for too long!
The build-up of the army has gradually come to an end. The first million people who completed the training are ready to go, and the remaining one million people are also nervously assembled and trained, and they will soon be able to form combat strength. And the massive amount of materials mobilized by the Audria Empire with the power of the whole country were also mobilized to the big cities of several provinces on the border. After everything is arranged. A large number of scout cavalry were scattered out to reconnoiter the movements of the orcs. The Windwhispering Scouts were also sent out to inspect the orc Shoton City from the air. As soon as they bring back the latest information, Davenport will immediately give the order to march based on the information!
Davenport's side is in full swing, and the orcs are in full swing here. All those who have nothing to do with it have long since retreated back to the grassland of the horse farm. Even the families and relatives of the human officials and nobles of Shoton City, who were attached to the orcs, also retreated to the Valley of Miracles with the permission of the Baroque. Baroque's act of buying people's hearts made those human officials and nobles who had turned to the orcs very grateful.
Humans are a strange race, although when they first turned to the orcs, most of them were forced to surrender and helpless. But now, when the Baroque touched them, they became extremely loyal. One by one, they even actively demanded to fight with the orcs against the atrocities of the invasion from the Holy See and Audria. ((Superfluous wordsββββ Yanli Masao, you have tarnished the Chinese name Li (dog) Deng (forced) Hui, and let your daughters and dependents come out, I promise not to kill them although the women are bow))!
How could such enthusiastic humans discourage their enthusiasm? Baroque gladly accepted their pleas, and incorporated them under his direct command, sending a team of elite orc soldiers to protect them...... Of course, surveillance is also possible!
Soon, Shoton City was empty, except for the rats. Not a single figure was gone. When the Wind Scout looked at the orc-occupied city from the sky and found no human tracks, he cautiously landed at altitude and went over to reconnoitre. But he was surrounded by the Thunder Eagle Beast Transformation Armored Warriors who suddenly drilled out from all directions.
The Wind Scout may be faster than the Thunderhawk Beast Armor Warrior. But when he was blocked from all retreats and wanted to fight hard, the lowly wind scout, if he didn't want to die, he had to be captured.
Dennis's spies had already collected detailed information on the human army, and the army of two million had been assembled. It's simply impossible to keep it secret. In that sieve-like environment, all the information from Davenport, the master, to the commander of any 10,000-strong legion, was laid out in detail in front of Baroque. Baroque has some knowledge of Davenport as the master. This man is very capable, and he is especially calm, and he pursues everything before he acts. Because of this, Baroque knew that he would definitely send scouts to check on the situation in the orc base camp of Shoton City before marching. He set a trap and caught a Whispering Scout!
It didn't take much effort for the wind scout to speak. Davenport's military strategy was also known to the Baroque. With the absolute superiority of two million troops, coupled with Davenport's calm character, there is no need to plan any whimsical actions at all, only to command the army, advance steadily, and encroach on the territory and space of the orcs little by little, until they are pressed into the depths of the northern tundra and reach the [Valley of Miracles].
Although Baroque has asked the High Priest of Silo to build a Great Star Totem Array, it can play a strong defensive role and protect the Valley of Miracles. But there is always a chance in everything, who knows if the Apocalypse Holy See has any other means to break through the Valley of Miracles? Baroque does not dare to take this risk, so he must have to fight against the humans. I believe that this is also what Davenport saw through.
The purpose of the controller is to be upright and force the orcs to fight him.
While the Baroque is plotting a countermeasure, Davenport also discovers the disappearance of a Windword Scout. He didn't worry too much, and continued to follow his own steps, and began to mobilize the army in an orderly manner. The first million men marched to the north in more than one direction, keeping a proper distance from each other, and a hundred legions, spreading a fine net, enveloping everything in front of them. Seeing this, the orc scouts patrolling around saw this situation and knew that they would not be able to take advantage of it, and began to retreat one after another.
Receiving the news from the scouts, Baroque gave the order to retreat after a moment's thought. At the same time, the Thunderhawk scouts were also sent to convey orders to other teamsββββ if there was a chance to raid, if not, then withdraw from the territory of Odria, pass through the mountains of the Kundu Maya branch in the rear, and return to the grassland of the horse farmland.
At this time, the 500,000 army of the orcs had been completely dispersed by the Baroque and handed over to the orcs he trusted, leaving only 30,000 orcs in his own hands, all of whom were distributed in all directions to fight on their own. Of course, they still had to obey the orders conveyed by the Baroque.
The decision was bold and dangerous. If it weren't for the Thunder Eagle Beast Transformation Armor that could transmit messages and orders to each other in the air, the army of 500,000 orcs would be shattered and shattered, and there would be a great possibility that they would be crushed by the human race. Therefore, this tactic is extremely testing the commander's command ability, and the leaders of those orc armies from all walks of life also need to have excellent abilities, otherwise once they are targeted or besieged by the human army, no one can save them, only the end of destruction!
The order to retreat reached the armies. Calm people such as Muru, Lorne Khan and others immediately obeyed the orders of the Baroque and commanded the Orcs to retreat with an army of 30,000 or 50,000. And a clever guy like Angela, or a daring guy like Tulayan, is still a little unwilling. The environment they are in is more complicated, and they are all rugged half-mountains and semi-plains, which are very suitable for sneak attacks and ambushes.
Yatutu himself went out to reconnoiter the approaching enemy, and although he had a broken arm, it did not prevent him from commanding the army. Hiding in the canopy of a mountain peak, he saw the vast sea of human armies, a tributary passing through the area where they were, and passing through the valleys of the small hills. Yatutu silently withdrew, did not alarm the human army, and quietly withdrew!
Back in the army, immediately talk to Tulayan! They were just north of this hilly area, so to speak, directly in the way of this branch of humanity. Although it is said to be a branch of the human army, there are more than 100,000 people, and with less than 50,000 people in the hands of Tulayan and Yatutu, they don't want to take advantage of it at all. Besides, there were several valley roads that could be crossed in that hilly area, and they couldn't guard against all of them. As for scattering orc forces to intercept them, that's no different from sending them to death!
"Did Angley's army retreat? I remember him moving a hundred miles to our left, and it would be ...... if we were to find him to work with him!" Suddenly Tulayan spoke.
The two of them immediately prepared to send someone to find Angre to plan together, but at this moment, a scout came from afar, bowed to them and said, "General Tulayan, General Yatutu, our General Angre asked me to ask you, in this hilly area, do you want to cooperate with you?"
Tulayan and Yatutu looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing!
A day later, a branch of the human army walked to the hilly plain, and after the scouts sent out to see if it was safe, the army began to pass through!
More than 30,000 or 40,000 people approached the valley road, and the orcs hidden above the hills on both sides suddenly appeared, and they knocked down the trap boulders, blocking all the valley roads from the middle. Although it didn't last long, it was enough for Tulayan and Angre!
On that day, 30,000 human soldiers were wantonly attacked and killed by the orcs, and then the orcs swaggered and fled, and soon disappeared. It was only at this time that the clogged valley road was dug up!
When Davenport heard the news, he didn't care............ Wait to enter the grassland of the horse farm, at that time, under the environment of a flat river, these little tricks of the orcs will not work! )
