"Your Majesty!" Orlando's voice sounded in the distance, "Now that the orcs have retreated, please go and rest."

Only then did everyone remember that on this viewing platform, there was also a nominal ruler of the empire, and Ryan was full of guilt, he, the queen's bodyguard, had forgotten his responsibilities again, and just now he thought that he shouldn't just run to the side without a sound, but when he saw Victor come back, Ryan put Catherine's matter behind him again.

"No need, our warriors are still fighting," said Catherine categorically, "and I will stand here until the whole battle is over." ”

Ryan scratched his head, pulled Faras towards Catherine, and stood behind Catherine, even if it was a formality, he still held on to the end. Thomas watched it for a long time, and suddenly remembered his task, he let go of his throat and shouted: "The people of the Ryan mercenary group have all come and gathered!"

A moment later, the people who could be assembled by the Ryan mercenary group came to Thomas's side, the mercenaries who were originally small in number suffered heavy losses after a big battle with the Beast Emperor, Thomas counted it, and there were only more than sixty people left in combat effectiveness, most of these people stayed with Catherine, and the mercenary group that fought with the Beast Emperor's Blood Guardian was basically wiped out.

After experiencing the battle of Thor's Fortress, these mercenaries who originally belonged to the Jonas Legion have long been accustomed to this kind of days on the verge of life and death, even when they see their companions die on the battlefield, they quickly bury their sadness in their hearts, for them, now is not the time to be sad, there are still many things waiting for them to do.

"Report to the Captain!" Thomas walked up to Ryan and shouted: "The Ryan mercenary group should have 119 people, but it has reached 68 people, of which 48 are seriously injured and have lost their combat effectiveness, and Colin and the other three are on reconnaissance missions. ”

Rao is Ryan has been ready to accept the fact that his subordinates have suffered heavy casualties, hearing Thomas's words still can't help but feel a little sad, he lost his mind slightly, and then quickly regained his senses, as the leader of the entire mercenary group, Ryan began to perform his duties. Under Lane's command, the surviving mercenaries were once again stationed at Catherine's side, continuing their mission to surround the Queen, though this was more of a symbolic gesture.

Catherine didn't care about Ryan's actions at all, she stood still after rejecting Orlando's proposal, and when Ryan's men had finished arranging again, Catherine suddenly motioned to the royal magician beside her to turn on the amplification teleportation array. Catherine stood in the green light, looking at the entire imperial capital with a complicated face, the human army in the distance had driven the orcs out of the imperial capital, and it took months for those green guys to come in, but it only took a few hours to leave.

Due to the line of sight, even if she stood on the royal viewing platform at the highest point of the imperial capital, it was impossible for Catherine to see the entire imperial capital, but according to the imperial military regulations, flags and other methods can be used to transmit signals during battles, and Catherine has long understood what those simple flags mean after such a long battle. When Catherine saw countless green flags waving in the air, she knew that humanity had won the final victory.

During this period of Catherine's silence, the 4 royal magicians who were maintaining the operation of the amplified magic array were the worst, because they had to keep releasing mana, although the consumption of this magic array was not very large, it was still a hard thing to maintain for dozens of minutes, fortunately, Catherine finally started her speech before their mana was exhausted, and this was also Catherine's last speech in the defense of the imperial capital.

When the war ended, someone sorted out all the speeches in the defense of the imperial capital, among which Catherine's "Never Retreat" speech, Lane's "Obey Discipline, Follow Orders" speech, and Catherine's last speech are recognized as the three most famous speeches, and Catherine's last speech is only a short sentence:

"My people, we are victorious, rejoice!"

After Catherine's "victory" speech, which symbolized the final victory of mankind in the defense of the imperial capital, was released, the surviving people of the entire imperial capital cheered from the bottom of their hearts: "Long live! Long live Her Majesty the Queen!" In everyone's opinion, it is the persistence of this queen that has led everyone to the final victory, without this beautiful queen, maybe the entire imperial capital will be reduced to a slave camp of orcs, and those who survived the war will inevitably become slaves of orcs.

Now, humanity has won this precious victory, stopping the attack of the orcs, and the orcs in the north have consumed a lot of living force in this war, and the situation in the north of the entire continent has been reversed. Although the human race has lost the fortress in the north and is powerless to stop the orcs from moving south, the orcs have consumed too much strength in this great battle, and the entire South Talon savannah is vast, and it will take a while for the orcs to fully master this place, which gives humans a chance to breathe.

In any case, at the cost of the imperial capital being reduced to ruins, the humans blocked the orc attack and bought precious time for their own counterattack.

To the north of the imperial capital, at the southern end of the South Talon savannah.

The Beast Emperor was covered in bandages and stood by the side of the road, the few remaining blood guards stood by Andreas's side under the leadership of the Beast Emperor, and a large number of wounded orcs retreated to the north in panic, a long procession from south to north, with no end in sight.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you win or lose this battle, why should you care too much?" Prophet Evan stood beside Andreas and whispered to the gloomy Beast Emperor: "The key now is how to recover as soon as possible. ”

"It's a pity, it's just a little bit. Andreas still remembers the situation in his mind: "If I could get rid of the Holy Knight's entanglement as soon as possible, maybe I could directly behead the human queen, in that case, the outcome would be different." ”

"Enough!" reprimanded the prophet Evan in a loud voice, "stop thinking about what has already happened, only cowards dwell on this!"

Prophet Evan's words shocked everyone around him, and this was the first time that someone had reprimanded him so loudly in front of the Beast Emperor. The Beast Emperor Andreas's face was first angry, he stared at the eyes of the prophet Evan, but he saw endless care in the eyes of the other party, the Beast Emperor's heart suddenly warmed, and he remembered how the old man in front of him assisted him step by step into the position of the supremacy of the orcs.

"You're right, Evan. The voice of the Beast Emperor Andreas was dozens of years old: "Even if I kill that queen in advance, it will be useless, we can't compete with that magician, even if the enemy is only him, we will still lose this war." ”

Seeing that the Beast Emperor's will was a little decadent, the Prophet Evan comforted him and said, "It is very important for you to realize this, in fact, the battle for this city is a means of buying time. At this, the prophet Evan shouted loudly, his voice in the ears of all the orc warriors who passed by.

"Our orcs are far less numerous than humans, and for many years, we have been suppressed by Thor's Fortress and have to live in the cold regions of the north. Now, we've taken this fortress under the Beast Emperor, isn't that the greatest victory our orcs have ever won?"

The Beast Emperor was silent, while the Prophet Evan continued to shout, "Humans far outnumber us, so their war potential is far greater than ours. If we just defend Thor's Fortress, then in less than 10 years we will be driven north again by a huge number of human legions. ”

"Therefore, we have to occupy the South Talon grassland, on which we depend, and only by firmly occupying this place can we multiply and rapidly expand our race. But it is clear that there is no way that humanity will allow us to do this. We orcs are good at attacking but not good at defending, and our city-building skills can't be compared with humans, and we have very tight time to recuperate, so how can we spend huge manpower and material resources to build a city on the grassland to resist human attacks?"

"Therefore, we have to take the initiative to attack and do our best to weaken the power of the human race, so we will attack the imperial capital desperately. Now that our purpose has been achieved, humanity has been battered, and they have had to spend a long time gathering strength, and this is the chance for the Beastmaster to lead us orcs back up. ”

The words of the prophet Evan greatly boosted the morale of the orc warriors, and the Beast Emperor completely calmed his heart that fluctuated due to the defeat, and he returned to becoming the calm king who shouldered the fate of millions of orcs members.

"Yes, my people!" the Beast Emperor shouted in an incendiary tone, "I had expected today's battle, so I left enough warriors to garrison us on our way north. All supplies are well stocked, you don't need to worry about anything. All we have to do now is move away from human-controlled areas and move our people from the north as quickly as possible. It's autumn now, and we must be ready for winter in just a few months, and next year we will truly be the rulers of this savannah, and our children and grandchildren will live forever in this rich land!"

"Whew!" the countless orc warriors let out an earth-shattering cry, and the decadent state that had previously appeared due to the blow of Victor's forbidden spell was swept away. Each orc mustered up the courage to march north, and in their opinion, they were not just walking a path, but also containing hope for future generations to survive.
