The horn of the charge sounded, and in the midst of shouts of killing, the orc army attacked again.

Under the personal supervision of the commander, the red-eyed orc soldiers were killed, with wooden shields on their heads, and crossbow arrows, rolling stones, and gold juice...... Rush up with siege engines.

The front team fell, and the back team immediately made up for it. The Warlords stared at the back, and no one dared to take half a step back.

Some of the Terran soldiers on the city wall killed the orcs who climbed the wall with sharp blades, some threw boulders hard, and from time to time poured a pot of fire oil downward.

The fire was soon lit under the city walls, and then quickly spread. The orc soldiers who unfortunately fell into the sea of fire were directly reduced to fuel.

Faintly, there were bursts of meaty aromas.

The trebuchets and crystal cannons on both sides launched the most fierce battle, and the defenders had the upper hand in firepower, but the eaglemen in the sky pulled back a game for the orcs.

In general, the long-range strike capabilities of the two sides are almost the same. Now the fight is strength, the defenders have the advantage of the city, but the orcs also have the advantage of troops.

The front line is charging, and the rat-men and ant-men in the rear are ...... They turned into "earthwork engineers" and started earthwork construction operations.

It's just that the land near the city has been treated, not only is it surprisingly hard, but also a lot of boulders are buried, which brings great inconvenience to these "earthmoving engineers".

Especially when approaching the city walls, the magicians guarding the city also constantly interfered.

Countless "earthmoving engineers" were permanently buried underground before they even had time to touch the city walls.

Attempts failed again and again, and the orc general who commanded the army was not only not annoyed, but showed a satisfied expression.

War is the best way to cover up problems, and at the same time the easiest to expose them. The seemingly impregnable defense line, with the continuation of the war, the sequelae of the death of high-level generals have gradually been exposed.

When it comes to the coordination of armies in different regions, the ability to react is significantly slower, and it is far less flexible than before.

Without a strong commander to suppress it, the prestige of the substitute generals is insufficient, and the nobles below lack enough awe, and it is inevitable that the execution of orders will be discounted.

In addition, the new general's familiarity with the troops is far less than that of the previous commander-in-chief, and some jokes are often made when assigning tasks, which further exacerbates this contradiction.

It is all determined by human nature, an army can only have one commander, and the big nobles are subconsciously reducing the presence of the deputy marshal while maintaining their prestige.

Even if everyone is a nobleman in the same province, it is normal for the boss to suppress the second child, and the nobles below are forced to follow and stand in line.

Now that the boss is suddenly hanging, change the second to command the army, if there is no problem, that is the biggest problem.

This is an unsolvable problem, it is difficult for the nobles of a province to command, and it is even more difficult to command a commander when parachuted.

It doesn't matter if you are slow for a while, but a series of operations are half a beat slower, which will eventually lead to a big accident.

Looking at the bloody battlefield, Abraham smiled indifferently, and was about to order the orc sacrifice to take action, when suddenly a figure appeared and startled him.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

As soon as the words came out, Abraham realized that he had lost his words.

As the emperor of the Beamon clan and the head of the five giants of the Orc Empire, the Beamon Emperor does not need to report to anyone.

Fortunately, at this moment, Emperor Beamon's mind was on the battlefield and he didn't notice the gaffe.

"Don't worry about you boys, just come and see for yourself.

It's been so long since the war started, and it hasn't been able to tear through the defenses of the Alpha Kingdom.

Abraham, you're not doing well! ”

What seems to be an understatement fell into Abraham's ears, but it was like a slap in the face.

It's just that the victory or defeat on the battlefield is not something that one of his generals can decide.

The crown prince and the emperors of the four clans decided to break through from the Principality of Moxi, and the army invested in the front line of the Alpha Kingdom was naturally reduced accordingly.

But there are some things that can be thought about, but not directly said. If this is used as an excuse, it is to accuse the crown prince and the four emperors of making mistakes.

As a subordinate, it is taboo in the workplace to dump the leader in case of trouble. What's more, the persimmon picks the soft pinch, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Although the progress of the Alpha Kingdom is slow, the Principality of Moxi is making great progress, and now they are all attacking the Warhammer Kingdom in a roundabout way.

If the plan is successful, it will be much less difficult to destroy the Warhammer Kingdom in one fell swoop, destroy the Duchy of Moxi along the way, and then turn back to deal with the Alpha Kingdom.

On the contrary, he has been fighting with the Alpha Kingdom here, directly delaying until the arrival of Terran reinforcements, which is a big military defeat.

"Your Majesty, the defenders of the Alpha Kingdom are like stinking and hard stones, and the Imperial army has to pay a terrible price for every step forward.

But now that the enemy's chain of command is in trouble, we will be able to seize the opportunity to tear through their defenses in one fell swoop! ”

Abraham's assurance, instead of winning the praise of Emperor Beamon, ushered in a wave of shaking of his head.

"You, you still can't get rid of this bad problem!

If the Alpha Kingdom was really easy to deal with, it would have been destroyed by the empire ten times ago, how could it stay until now.

If a few high-level generals die, at most there will be a short period of chaos, and a few lines of defense will be thrown to us.

From here all the way to Canglan City, there are countless large and small fortresses along the way, and you can easily organize more than ten or twenty new lines of defense.

Back then, I led the army to break through Canglan City, and I didn't suffer less along the way.

But even after taking Canglan City, the Alpha Kingdom still did not collapse, and the people directly moved the capital to the south to continue to resist.

So this time we have to change our strategy, we can't stupidly push all the way over, we just need to pick the enemy who should be beaten! ”

Emperor Beamon's words made Abraham completely confused.

"What is the enemy to fight?"

He couldn't find any ideas at all.

In Abraham's inherent conception, all Terrans were enemies, and there was no such thing as a fight or a fight.

It's a pity that his doubts, Emperor Beamon didn't seem to notice, or maybe he didn't care at all, and there was no meaning to explain at all.

When Emperor Beamon came to the front line, the command of the army naturally changed hands.

Not only did Abraham have to be obedient, but even the commanders of the armies of the other four tribes were more than a head shorter in front of this respected old emperor.

The five imperial courts, which were fighting separately, actually achieved the unity of military command for a short time in a strange way.

Emperor Beamon didn't pay attention to these changes at all.

Originally, he would not have arrived at the front line so quickly, but the plan did not change quickly. I don't know who helped the orc empire and let the opportunity appear in advance.

Since the last sacrifice, the sacrifices in the vault have been almost consumed. Judging from the current situation, it is likely that the last sacrifice will not be satisfied.

If the sacrifices are not enough, they naturally need to be replenished, and if there is no actual need, Emperor Beamon will not agree to start a war at such a juncture.

The 100,000-year catastrophe is approaching, which also means that the most dangerous moment is coming.

The overlords of the continent in the past generations would take action to clean up the hidden dangers exposed before the disaster came, so as to reduce the losses in the catastrophe.

The Orc Empire has now jumped out, so to speak, putting itself in danger.

If it provokes the Terrans, it would be a tragedy for the Terran Alliance to destroy them first.

In fact, the biggest reason why Emperor Beamon dared to start this war at this time was that the human race was divided.

Even if it is in the interests of the race, it is not necessarily in the interests of the individual. Many times the interests of the individual will take precedence over the interests of the race, and this is human nature.

If it is a unified continental overlord, it is estimated that at this moment, all the major alien races, including orcs, are as well-behaved as little white rabbits.

chose to appear on the battlefield at this moment, in fact, Emperor Beamon was deliberately avoiding it, not wanting to be destroyed and abandon his achievements at a critical moment.

The bloody battle continued, and the city wall, which could not withstand the toss, finally collapsed under the bloody struggle between the two sides.

The "engineers" who were working on the earthwork were reduced to the first wave of sacrifices.

The appearance of the gap made the battle between the two sides more and more intense. The Terran mages have been pinned down by the orc sacrifices that accompany the army, and it is difficult to provide much help to the defenders.

In order to plug the gap, countless noble officers led soldiers to fill it one after another, but unfortunately the pace of the orc army was still slowly moving forward.

"Pass the order, after the army breaks through the city, the Terran masters will try to catch me alive!"

Emperor Beamon said fiercely.

It's a pity that the hot expression between his eyebrows still exposes his inner desire.

Sacrifice is not something that everyone is qualified to be. If he is not a strong person, even if he imprisons his soul, it will quickly dissipate, and he will not be able to meet his needs at all.

If you hack within the Orc Empire, not only will the strength of the empire be compromised, but it will also be easy to expose the plan.

No matter how secret the secret method was, he couldn't guarantee that no one would recognize it.

If the news leaks out, not only will the plan fail, but even he himself will die with the society.

How can an emperor who can even attack his own son gain the loyalty of his subordinates.

At that point, most people will avoid him, except for a few irons.

On the contrary, it is easier to shoot on the battlefield and catch the enemy as a sacrifice.

Even if everyone finds out, you can just find an excuse to fool around. For a while, people won't think about that.

After the plan is successful, even if the truth is exposed, Emperor Bimeng is not worried.

After all, this world is the law of the jungle, and the strong are not to blame. No matter how vicious the methods are, everyone will only pretend not to see them.

……

The news of the fall of the Emerald Palace, the province of Walxus, reached here for the first time. Caesar III, who was struggling to find the murderer, had already accumulated a stomach full of resentment at the moment.

"Humph!"

"Idiot!"

"It's all a bunch of idiots!"

"I told them to strengthen their vigilance and strictly prevent the orcs from sneaking attacks, but they still let the enemy take advantage of it, and they simply lost the face of the kingdom!"

……

In the face of the angry king, all the ministers bowed their heads. Ever since Duke Arondo's accident, everyone has had a psychological expectation of the fall of Walksus.

But the day came too early. Under normal circumstances, with the defenders on the front line, how can they deal with the orcs for several months.

Failure after delaying time is not a real failure, but a planned "strategic shift".

Operations similar to "strategic shifts" often occurred in the Alpha Kingdom during the period of the orc's invasion.

It is a pity that the fall of the province of Walkus was too fast to give full play to the strategic value of exchanging space for time.

"Your Majesty, the defenders of the front line have done their best. According to the information gathered, the camp of Emperor Beamon also appeared in the camp of the orc army.

The old immortals are all on the front line, and it is very likely that it is a strategic shift within the orc empire. Caught off guard, the defenders of the Walkers Province were defeated, which is understandable. ”

Archduke Efiero explained stubbornly.

As Minister of War, he has been really hard pressed these days. The assassination case that caused a sensation on the continent has not yet found any clues, and Walksus has lost it again.

They were responsible for organizing and implementing the strategic plan, and now that there has been a major change, this responsibility can only be carried by the Ministry of Military Affairs.

If you want to get out, you can't get out, the front-line general who presides over the defense of the Warxus Province doesn't even have a gasp.

If it is not the responsibility of one's own family, it can only be the responsibility of the enemy. This explanation, while unreliable, is better than nothing.

Looking at Caesar III's expression, you can know that when he heard the three words of Emperor Beamon, his eyelids habitually jumped.

This old adversary can be called a nightmare for the Alpha Kingdom. In the past years, in order to play with this old guy, the Alpha Kingdom has suffered a lot.

"Isn't that old fellow dying, why is he jumping alive again? Could it be that the Orc Empire really has an evil method of prolonging life? ”

During the questioning, Caesar III's expression was slightly unnatural. "Lifespan" is a nightmare for all monarchs.

If you can prolong your life, no matter what kind of evil law you don't have, practicality comes first.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Beamon has passed his three hundred birthday. Judging from the historical record, he is already the longest-lived Beamon under the Sanctuary.

It is almost certain that there is a secret method of prolonging life in the hands of Emperor Beamon. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, he shouldn't be alive.

It's a big trouble, and it's also a big opportunity.

There should be many big people on the mainland who are interested in the secret method of life extension. As long as we release the news, the second half of Emperor Beamon's life will never be peaceful! ”

The Prime Minister replied, the Archduke of Newfoundland.

It's definitely a heartfelt emotion. The prime minister is not exempt from vulgarity, as an elderly old man in the twilight, he also has a lot of thoughts about the method of prolonging life in his heart.

After searching for it but not being able to do so, suddenly someone was told the information of the longevity method, and it was almost inevitable that extraordinary measures should be taken.

Emperor Bimeng is certainly powerful, but it is not so simple to block the prying eyes of a group of Shouyuan approachers.

"Okay, just release the news according to the Prime Minister's proposal. However, it cannot be said that it is a method of prolonging life, but it is necessary to directly announce to the public that Emperor Bimeng has obtained the secret method of immortality,"

Caesar III said viciously.

Regardless of whether there is an immortality secret method in the hands of Emperor Beamon, as long as he is alive, this kind of thing cannot be explained clearly.

The big people who have dreams of immortality don't have the time to delve into the truth or falsity of the rumors, anyway, they have lived three hundred years longer than Emperor Meng, and they can't be faked.

Once greed is born, no matter how Emperor Bimeng explains it, it can't make everyone feel relieved.

The classic murder routine of borrowing a knife to kill, although the old-fashioned one is not good, does not affect its practicability.

Even if only one-tenth of the powerful people are tempted, the next changes are enough to bear the emperor.
