Happy New Year, fellow scholars

After a few months, the orcs returned to the grassland of the horse farm. The heaviness and unwillingness of the retreat in the past have turned into excitement and high spirits at this time. Riding a horse on the fertile meadows, the Baroque has a feeling of 'Hu Hansan is back'.

There were too many defeated Terran soldiers, and there were too few orc soldiers to capture them all, and in the end, about two or three hundred thousand people escaped, crossing the remnants of the Kundu Maya Mountains on the border between the grassland and the Odria Empire, and returned to the empire.

Although the pursuit for so many days did not get a good rest, after the orcs won a great victory, after all, they were in a different mood, and they were riding horses to chase the human soldiers running on two legs, and they also got some rest. At this time, returning to the grassland, there was no need for Baroque orders, Muru and others led their troops to scatter to inspect the horse breeding land and eliminate all hidden dangers. That's why they saw the tragic situation of those human herdsmen for the first time!

Tens of thousands of herdsmen were sacked by the defeated army, killing a few and a half, and almost all the cattle and horses they grazed were robbed, even if the remaining ones were only some sheep and cowboys that had not yet grown. This is the livestock they bought with almost all their net worth of wealth, and they originally thought that they would make a fortune in the fertile horse breeding grassland, but who knew that after this catastrophe, all of them were equivalent to bankruptcy. The rest of the families are ruined, and there is no way to continue to survive!

The presence of the orcs did not make a fuss to them, and most of the people who killed each family by the defeated army were the male heads of the house...... After all, when livestock and horses were robbed, the first to rush out must have been men, and they were killed by the defeated soldiers. The women and children left behind looked sadly or numbly at the orcs roaming around, and they didn't even care about the orcs' hideous faces and weapons.

Baroque soon learned of the news, and he immediately thought that he could take advantage of it. The order was to gather the herdsmen, give them enough food and supplies, and let the orcs watch over them, and wait for the people from the rear to deal with them.

During this time. Baroque did not stop there, and after leaving enough men to patrol and defend the stables, he personally led his elite army through the steppe and into the interior of the Adrian Empire. And it was exactly as he expected. While the remnants of the human race returned, the news of the defeat also spread, and almost the entire Odria Empire was shocked, followed by violent shaking and panic! The orcs have returned, and they will definitely take bloody revenge———— under such rumors. The northern provinces were in danger, both nobles and commoners, all of whom took their belongings and fled for their lives to the south of the Adrian Empire. By the time Baroque returned to Shoton, it was almost empty, except for the homeless beggars and the spies under Dennis, who had been left behind in the first place.

Not only Shoton City, but the scouts sent out quickly reported back to several surrounding provinces. Almost all the people in the city were fleeing en masse, and no one wanted to be left to resist. That's reasonable...... Just imagine, even the two million army commanded by the master of the Holy See was defeated by the orcs, and even almost wiped out. So how could a mere civilian resist a brutal orc?

Baroque didn't want a deserted open space, what could the millions of orcs do? While waiting for the return of Prince Buclay, and the human nobles and citizens of Shoton City, who had followed the orcs in the valley of miracles, they immediately sent several legions through the northern provinces to the front of the human fleeing procession, blocking their way. Be sure to get them all back.

Muruul made a suggestion, which Baroque immediately accepted. After all, he can't do everything. Let Tulayan lead the army and occupy the Kundu Giant Gate Fortress [Blizzard City] again. It was the most important strategic place in the north of the Adria Empire, and as long as it was captured, it could overlook the entire Great Plains in the middle of the Adria Empire. It can pose a huge threat to the Dulong Imperial Capital. In this way, even if the Odria Empire wants to counterattack the northern provinces, it needs to worry about not being taken by the orcs after sending troops.

I never thought it would go so smoothly, except for Shoton City and the surrounding territories, the three newly occupied northern provinces were all recaptured. Even the provinces of Bukred to the northeast, where the people immediately sent emissaries to the orcs. Paying their respects with valuable gifts and repeatedly affirming their ...... They had been expecting Prince Brookred and the great Baroque Lord to come back and 'free' the 'loyal subjects of Prince Brookred' who had fallen into the clutches of Audria.

It's ironic, but the Baroque still needs to be appeased and appreciated for their actions. He promised that he would never hold anyone accountable, and that he would also say good things about Prince Buckred for them.

The fleeing people did not go far before they were intercepted by Angleigh's orc army, who followed Baroque's orders and persuaded them to return, promising them that their private property would be sacred and that no one would take it. It won't hurt their lives, as long as they don't do anything to hurt the orcs, anyone can live freely here!

There is no evidence, and in the face of the orc army that is particularly vicious because of too much killing, human civilians are not afraid. But this is how people have to bow their heads under the roof, and they can't run away anyway, and most people have to resign themselves to returning to their homes. As for those who resisted, Angel naturally showed no mercy and slaughtered them all. Under the combination of soft and hard, except for some who left too early, most of the civilians were 'persuaded to return'.

Back in Odria territory, Dennis's spies became active again, and soon a steady stream of needed news arrived. Sure enough, the Evangeline Saintess won't stop. She was robbed of the control of the army by Davenport, and all of them were brought into the northern tundra to hunt down the orcs. How could she, who had already tasted power, be overshadowed? Taking advantage of the abilities of General Roxana and Paladin Georgia, more than a dozen legions were formed in the rear in just over three months. It's even been trained by Roxana. These armies are not afraid to be killed by the orcs, and their combat power is definitely a threat to the orcs!

At this time, they had just recaptured the territory of the northern provinces, and the orcs needed a period of recuperation, and they must not fight again. But in the rear, Bucred and his army will be able to return for a few days to help him share some of the pressure. It is necessary to gain a buffer time. Baroque gave this task to the brothers Dennis and Daniel.

Terrans are a wonderful race, there are always all kinds of people, either out of ambition or for wealth, in short, they are willing to make a deal with the orcs, and even owe allegiance to the orcs. Of course, this first requires the orcs to show enough sincerity. Baroque did not hesitate to take out a large number of gold coins and treasures. Let Dennis bribe the Odriates, create their own chaos, and hinder the movement of Evangeline and Roxana's armies.

The mission was a success, and those who were bribed spread rumors around Audria. Causing chaos and even instigating the Odria civilians in the center, expelling and oppressing those who had fled from the northern provinces. On several occasions it caused quite a bit of turmoil. Both the Holy Maiden and Roxana knew that they should lead their troops to stop the orcs at this time, but they couldn't pull their hands out. After all, no one dares to let the empire go into chaos and attack the orcs instead!

At a time when the Adrian ** team was delayed. Prince Bukred led his army, and a large number of the humans of Shoton City finally returned to the Northern Province, and with them were Celine, Hilda, and Baroque's two children. Barotan and Zainzu led their armies to protect ———— in this battle, Barotan and Zainzu were the only two orc commanders who did not participate in the whole battle. Although there were some regrets, they strictly followed the orders of the Baroque and remained in the Valley of Miracles with several legions. 1. Nature is the Valley of Miracles of Protection. Two...... But it is to guard against the nobles and citizens of Shoton City, who also retreated into the Valley of Miracles. After all, it is impossible to trust completely, and it is always necessary to keep a hand.

Fortunately, nothing happened, and Bukred and the Sheldon nobles survived a crisis of confidence. They were loyal from start to finish. Although it is possible that they are hiding in the Valley of Miracles, unaware of the danger outside, they still have the trust of the orcs.

The rewards must be rich, all the provinces in the north of the Adria Empire have fallen into the hands of the orcs and the prince of Bukred, and those nobles will definitely be reused, and it is definitely not a dream to become the lord of a large city, or even the governor of a certain province.

Humans fled in such a hurry that almost any town was not damaged enough to be repaired. Orcs have gained a lot of basic wealth out of thin air. You know, Odria is a big empire. Their northern provinces were much richer than those of the somewhat barren kingdom of Paddington. As long as the human civilians return, even if all trade with the Adria Empire is cut off. It is also possible to pass through Hanseasa and Paddington via the open trade route in the middle of the Kundu Maya Mountains to the west. Trade with the Samoan Cities Alliance in the South and never worry about being choked by humans.

The orcs consolidated the occupied area, and the Holy See was silent for some reason and did not react to the matter. After being angry for a long time, the saint Evangeline, who had no strength to spare, received a summons from a priest sent by Pope Margus, and immediately fell silent. Consolidate the remaining half of Audria with peace of mind!

The silence between orcs and humans does not mean that the entire continent of Sauron will be calm. The Holy See issued a summoning order to Audria, and two million troops invaded the orcs of the northern tundra, and after more than three months of fighting, they were almost wiped out, including the commander Davenport, and the Pope's henchman [Paladin Phantom Armor Warrior Lukiyan], and the two hundred Phantom Crystal Armored Warriors he led, who were either captured or killed in battle. The news shocked almost all races. When everyone heard it for the first time, it was incredible!

When did the orcs become so powerful? Is it going to change the sky? Is the orc leader called Baroque really so amazing?

With many questions, the Sauron Continent has become turbulent, and many hidden races have also become active!

Baroque, as the person concerned, did not care about this, and he did not even have time to properly handle the affairs of the clan. From the Misty Forest, a dragon druid arrives almost day and night, bringing with him a letter from Empress Siloria to the Baroque and the Golden Dragon King!

Almost after reading the letter, Baroque immediately arranged the affairs of the clan, and he only had time to hug his two sons, and rushed to the misty forest of the elves with the dragon king. They were accompanied by reinforcements from dragons and elves.

In a hurry, without even having time to properly thank the allies for their assistance, people speculated that something serious might have happened! )
