The city of Dapest, after two days of searching, finally found the traces of the orc army.

Just looking at the information sent by the people below, Prime Minister Hurcheg was confused. As a civilian official, letting him preside over the military and political meeting is to drive ducks to the shelves.

At this fateful time, it is normal to not understand the strategic purpose of the orc army's actions.

If you understand it, then something big is going to happen. Amateurs can see through the strategic plan, that is, the conspiracy on the surface, and there is no solution if they know it.

"According to the news from the nobles along the way, the orc army marched all the way to the southwest, and none of the noble castles along the way were touched, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Duchy of Orton.

For the sake of a small principality, how can it be difficult to understand the risk of being cut off from the back road? ”

Prime Minister Helcheg complained weakly.

I don't understand the motives of the orcs, but the current situation is clearly not the worst. When the war burned to the Duchy of Orton, the supply channels of the Duchy of Moxi were reduced by one, but the pressure of the war would also be greatly reduced.

It is impossible to determine the extent of the impact in the future. For a short period of time, it was a respite for the Duchy of Moxi.

The nobles everywhere are desperately expanding their armaments, and the longer it drags on, the better prepared everyone will be. If it is attacked by the orc army, it will be able to hold out for a few more days.

"Could it be that the orcs are playing a roundabout way, cutting us off from our neighbors, and then flanking us back and forth?

A similar strategy seems to have been used by orcs against the Alpha Kingdom in a great war one hundred and fifty years ago.

Caught off guard, the Alpha Kingdom suffered heavy losses. The royal capital of Canglan City was in the middle of the war and fell into the hands of the orcs. ”

Renato couldn't help but guess.

As a foreign minister, because of my work, I know the history of various countries at my fingertips. Seeing the actions of the orc army, he couldn't help but want to be involved.

"It's unlikely, our current situation is different from that of the Alpha Kingdom at that time. The city of Dapest is now exposed to the orcs, and there is no way to outflank it.

Perhaps the orcs want to drive straight into the northern lands and lure other aliens into the war.

Or maybe the Duchy of Orton has something they are bound to get, and they can adjust their battle plans for the sake of this treasure. ”

War Secretary Martins carefully analyzed.

In order to pull people into the water, he deliberately tossed a little movement to prove to the outside world that the Terran was about to die, which was just a routine operation.

There are also countless things to start a war for the sake of a treasure, not to mention that now it is just a matter of adjusting the battle plan.

Both outcomes are possible, but they are even more confusing. What the truth is, that can only be known after the orcs make a move.

The only consolation is that the unfortunate Principality of Orton is weaker this time, and even if it is not notified in time, at most it will be a little complaining, and it is not capable of doing anything to them.

If you can't guess, then don't bother to guess. Although some of them can't help their allies, there is no way to do it.

……

"Good news!"

As soon as the meeting was over, the commander of the Herdgon Cavalry Regiment came over with an urgent battle report from the front and pulled everyone back.

As the top of the principality, this kind of thing has happened countless times since the outbreak of the war.

Leaving work on time is simply a luxury. It is common to pull people up in the middle of the night to deal with urgent matters.

Glory and wealth are tied to the fate of the principality, and everyone has no way back.

……

"It can't be!"

Prime Minister Hercheg said in a gaffe.

It's a good thing to see the good news, but the good news in front of me is too exaggerated. The front has a habit of exaggerating the results of the war, and he knows it.

But on the whole, everyone has a degree. Usually a slight increase in the merits of the war, no matter how you look at this battle report now, it is like "multiplying by ten".

"Your Excellency, Hodge has verified the content of the battle report, and this war report may have embellished elements, but there is not much difference in the whole.

In addition to the photographic records provided by the expeditionary force, our men also conducted reconnaissance on the battlefield. Even the battle banner of the Bearman Imperial Court fell into the hands of Earl Hudson. ”

Campals explained.

The news is too shocking, and everyone can't help but be suspicious. Even if it is an urgent report, it is inevitable to verify the authenticity first.

After a brief gaffe, Prime Minister Hurcheg quickly regained his senses. There have been too many things in recent days, and his psychological tolerance has also improved.

It doesn't make sense, and it doesn't stand up to the evidence of a real hammer. Everything else can be faked, and the battle flag of the Xiongren Imperial Court is always fake.

To be able to carry away other people's battle flags from the Bear Man Imperial Court, there must be a big victory. Severely damaging an elite army of bears and crippling two or three cannon fodder legions seems to be reasonable.

In addition to being happy, it is inevitable to be sad. So far, the Principality of Moxi has not seen a few that can fight, and the most capable of fighting is actually the reinforcements of allies.

Marshal Hodge is steady, and his enterprising ability is really insufficient.

Come to think of it, everyone still doesn't have the idea of changing the coach. It's a good thing to be aggressive, but it also depends on when.

With the current situation of the Principality of Moxi, if you really change to an enterprising coach, I don't know if you can turn defeat into victory, but the probability of losing all your family resources is very large.

Defeat the strong with the weak, and it would be good to blow it in normal times. If it is taken seriously, it has to be completed by the front-line generals, and it will be a human tragedy.

"Inform the Alpha Kingdom of the battle report, the victory of the expeditionary force this time is of great significance, and the follow-up matters must be communicated with them in depth."

Prime Minister Helcheg said with some embarrassment.

The recent defeat has caused a rift in the relationship between the two countries. It was only under pressure from the orcs that the two sides tacitly chose to ignore it.

Install the latest version. 】

Now with a sudden turn, the expeditionary force has shown much more strength than they expected, and the importance of the Alpha Kingdom to them has risen again.

Such a reversal will have a direct impact on the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Deep down, Prime Minister Hircheg has already secretly cursed more than once: Crown Prince Caesar is incompetent.

If the expeditionary force had shown this kind of combat effectiveness earlier, the outcome of the last major battle would have been reversed, and the situation in the Principality of Moxi would not have collapsed.

"Prime Minister, the problem of communication with the Alpha Kingdom is easy to solve. Although we did not send troops to participate in this war, everyone also fully cooperated.

With this good news, the unpleasantness in front can be revealed. Even if there are twists and turns, it is something that needs to be tangled up within the Alpha Kingdom.

Now it's us who need to be considered.

The expeditionary force won a great victory, the situation at the front had changed, and the main force of the orc army ran to the Duchy of Orton.

With the transfer of troops from the front, the opportunity to relieve the siege of Dapest has already appeared. ”

Foreign Minister Renato's words landed, and the eyes of everyone in the room lit up suddenly.

Just now, they all focused their attention on the war report, and now that they were reminded like this, everyone reacted instantly, and the turning point of the war came.

Surrounded by an army of orcs all the time, it is impossible to say that you are not panicked. Being able to drive the orc army outside away was a great thing for everyone present.

Facing the expectant gaze of his colleagues, War Secretary Martins instantly felt the pressure.

To solve the siege of Dapest, he also thinks! But the problem is that you can do it, if you are not careful, it will be a big rout.

After deeply analyzing the reasons for the failure of the Battle of Dacias, Martins, who had learned his lesson, had lost confidence in engaging in the Great War.

It has nothing to do with the number of troops, it is purely that the newly formed corps is not of great use. Defending the city can only make do, and the decisive battle in the field is cumbersome.

With only a few main legions in the principality, it would be too difficult to defeat the orc army. What's more, if you want to deploy troops, you have to be willing to cooperate with the orcs.

It's just that the pressure from his colleagues is too great for him to say no. For a moment, Martins, who seemed to think of something, suddenly spoke:

"To relieve the siege of Dapest, we are still a little short of our own strength. Although the main force of the orcs has left, it does not mean that they will not return.

If we don't get a quick solution and end the battle before the enemy's main forces come back, our men will be in danger.

At present, almost all of the main armies of the principality are suppressed by the orcs, and the best one to mobilize is the expeditionary force of the Alpha Kingdom.

In order to accomplish this project, it is best to first communicate with Earl Hudson and seek his opinion. ”

If you can't bear the pressure yourself, you can only divert the contradictions. The generals in the country are all affected by these powerful people, and it is difficult to withstand the pressure.

The expeditionary force is different, as a foreign reinforcement itself has independent command, nominally under the command of the Duchy of Moxi, in fact their binding power on the expeditionary force is very low.

The military orders issued by the Duchy of Moxie were, for Hudson, paperwork that could be thrown in the trash at any time.

Ask for the other person's opinion, and that's really a discussion. If the two sides cannot reach an agreement, a strike is a normal operation.

Hearing this explanation, everyone looked at each other, and no one said anything.

In any case, there were 300,000 orcs outside the city of Dapest. Even if there was only one dissatisfied Beamon cavalry corps left, no one would dare to take it lightly.

Without an elite division, there was almost no possibility of entangling the Beamon cavalry, and it was almost impossible to relieve the siege of Dapest.

His family knew about his own affairs, and the standing army of the principality suffered heavy losses in the attack and defense of Augustburg, and now the most effective troops were the private armies of the great nobles.

If you want to take your own private army and Beamon cavalry, no one has the bottom of your heart. For this kind of high-risk drudgery, it is better to find a wrongdoer to take care of.

Looking at the entire battlefield, the most suitable one now is the expeditionary force of the Alpha Kingdom.

There is no free lunch in the world, there is not enough profit, and it is obviously impossible to want people to work hard.

Don't look at the expeditionary force taking the initiative, it seems that on the issue of fighting the orcs, the position is very resolute.

In fact, there are also political factors behind it, Hudson took over the position of commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, and also took over the mess left by Crown Prince Caesar.

Even if he doesn't need to bear the responsibility in the front, he always has to be responsible for dealing with the aftermath.

The best way to make up for the big defeat in front of you is to cover it with a victory. As long as the battle is won on the battlefield, then the historical problems left over from the previous defeat can be covered up.

Driven by political factors + army training needs + fighters sent to the door, this big war was only possible under the promotion of three common factors.

The mess has been cleaned up, the name of the expeditionary force has also been beaten out, and if you want the main force of people and orcs to fight hard, then you need to negotiate conditions.

……

The Duchy of Orton, who woke up from his sleep, was forced to start the day's work before he could stretch his waist.

Perhaps most monarchs live like this, but for a salted fish monarch, this kind of day is too embarrassing.

There is no way, since the defeat at the Battle of Dacias, the Duchy of Orton has also been forced to the edge of the precipice.

The Principality of Moxi was crumbling, and their closest neighbor had to plan for the worst.

Having just received a good news from the Duchy of Moxi, seeing that the allies had won, Orton XIX was still in a good mood.

But when he saw the paperwork under the good news, his face quickly turned green with anger.

The expeditionary force of the Alpha Kingdom turned the tables against the wind, but the orc army was about to reach his doorstep.

Isn't it deliberately tricking allies to be notified at this time!

As for the explanation given by the Duchy of Moxi, the movement of the orc army has just been discovered, and Orton XIX does not believe it at all.

Nearly 100,000 orc troops, most of them are the main legions of the orc empire, this level of troop transfer, as the head snake of the Principality of Moxi, actually said that it was not discovered?

It's useless to complain, the enemy is about to kill. Even if you scold the Mossi to death, it still won't solve the problem.

"Prime Minister, how are we preparing, can we resist the invasion of the orc army?"

Hearing the king's question, Prime Minister Jacob also looked helpless.

So many big countries are not the opponents of the orcs, so let them have a small principality on top, isn't it deliberately embarrassing?

Why, this time it was the orc army that killed it themselves, so they couldn't help but say no.

"Your Majesty, we have mobilized an army of 200,000, of which 150,000 are deployed on the border with the Mossi.

Another 50,000 troops are being mobilized and are expected to be formed next month.

It's just that we've always been friendly with the Mossi, and we haven't built defensive lines in the border areas. I'm busy with temporary work right now, so ......"

From the rambling words of Prime Minister Jacob, Orton XIX read despair.

The army was only mobilized, and there was no time to complete the training; Before the defensive line was completed, the enemy was about to reach the doorstep.

Under the double blow, what can the Duchy of Orton use to resist the orc soldiers?

……

The discussion in the palace continued, and the shouts of killing on the border were already heard. Perhaps overconfident in their allies, the defenders did not consider themselves being attacked by the enemy.

By the time the enemy was spotted, the battle had already begun. Countless Orton soldiers, who were busy building fortifications, just raised their heads and saw the butcher's knives of the orcs.

"Hold on!"

"Fool, take up arms and fight the enemy!"

"No retreat!"

……

The officers, who realized it later, shouted hard.

It's a pity that the serfs who just put down their hoes have encountered this kind of scene, and many people are dumbfounded when they see the scene of flesh and blood.

A few cowardly people were directly frightened and peed their pants, and they didn't know how to take up arms to resist.

What's more, according to the previous experience of facing the noble lords, he stupidly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy from the orcs, and the result was naturally a knife without any accidents.

I don't know who led the way, but the first deserter appeared, followed by the second and third...... Until the nth deserter appeared, the battlefield was completely in chaos.

The aristocratic officer, unwilling to be defeated, joined the battle with his lineage guards, temporarily delaying the advance of the orc army.

It's a pity that there are still too few such warriors after all, and the leading role only affects some soldiers, and more serf soldiers still choose to flee.

When the rout comes, the power of the individual is small.
