While the army was still on its way, the city of Dapest prepared a celebration feast and waited for Hudson and his party to return for the feast.

Unlike the previous wars, the victory in this battle drew an end to the siege of Dapest.

With only the reinforcements sent by the five imperial courts, the strength of the two sides has been pulled to the same level. If there is a real fight, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.

If you want to break through the city of Dapest, there is no hope at all. On the contrary, he continued to rush over with his head down, and it was easy to break through the Terran coalition forces one by one.

With safety guaranteed, the magnates in the city naturally got high again.

As for what disasters the Beamon Legion will bring to the allies if it goes south, everyone really can't think about it so much.

As the greatest hero, Hudson felt the enthusiasm of the Moses before he even set foot in the city of Dapest.

The crown prince personally led a group of princes and ministers to wait at the gate of the city, and the etiquette standards were all according to the highest standards.

If it weren't for the king's bedriddenness, it would have been Chris IX himself who would have led the team out to greet him.

Looking at the huge scene, Hudson shook his head secretly.

Although this victory is important, it does not deserve this standard of treatment.

Making the scene so loud seems to be the importance of the heroes, but in fact it is also a kind of compensation for changing tricks.

Fame and fortune cannot be both, and now that you have gained fame, then you will inevitably reduce your real profits.

Nothing to disappoint. In Hudson's current position, there really wasn't much the Moxies could offer him.

False titles are not enough to reward merit, not to mention that they are originally a principality, and it is impossible to give too high a title.

Fiefdom, the Moxies were willing to give, the problem was that Hudson was not interested in changing jobs.

For the sake of a fiefdom, he ran over to guard the gate for the Moses, and he was not crazy yet.

Don't look at the Moxi nobles who are very enthusiastic about him now, and everyone is very cooperative in commanding the army, and his reputation is even higher.

The reason is also that he is a guest army. No matter how high the prestige is, in the end, you will return to the Alpha Kingdom, and you will not crowd out everyone's core interests.

Smooth water, everyone is happy to come over to add icing on the cake.

Once you jump ship and develop, it's a different set of scripts. The original friend has become a competitor, and if he doesn't stab him in the back, he takes the overall situation into account.

Resources are also not counted on.

The precious cultivation resources were all divided up by the great nobles and the royal family, and there was a bunch of big road goods left in the treasury.

If it had been a year or two ago, Hudson would still have had hot eyes; Now, I won't even look at it again.

Of course, if the base is large enough, he is still happy to take it back and train his subordinates.

Unfortunately, this is simply impossible, and the little inventory in the treasury is not enough to reward one's family, so how can there be a large-scale outflow.

There are definitely gold rewards, but most of them are bonds. The theoretical benefits are quite good, and it is still unknown whether they can be realized.

It is clear that the Moses have learned the essence of "borrowing" and are carrying it forward.

If you want the bounty to be cashed in, you can only make persistent efforts to help the Duchy of Moxi keep its foundation.

There was already a pile of bonds in his hands, and he didn't know how to spend them, and now he had to add a bunch, and Hudson didn't know how to complain.

The bitter fruit that you planted yourself, you have to swallow it in your stomach even if you knock out your front teeth. Maybe you can wait for the situation to become clear, and find a big boss to take over.

Unfortunately, the financial industry in Aslant is not developed enough, and there is no bond trading market, so it is difficult to get out of the market.

Even if the general chamber of commerce is rich, it does not dare to accept this kind of plate, and only the powerful nobles are not afraid of the Moxi people to repay their debts.

Vaguely, Hudson found that he seemed to have buried a huge thunderbolt, which would inevitably collapse and crack if it was detonated.

……

"Hurry up, hurry up!

They all look weak, haven't they eaten?

……

Idiot, this stone is too big.

Stupidly carry it over, do you want to be a tombstone for yourself!

What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and break it, do you want me to help you do it?

……”

The orc soldiers were used to hearing this scolding voice.

I don't know when Bruno, the commander-in-chief, became the captain of the construction brigade.

Just start filling a hole and move one step forward. Later, he found that the speed was too slow, so he simply asked the soldiers to go over and build the road first.

It's a pity that this group of five big and three rough guys let them carry knives to kill, that is professional-level; As for building roads, they haven't started yet.

Amateur construction teams always have accidents. In order to complete the engineering task, it is a common phenomenon to cut corners to deal with things.

The most direct consequence is that the convoy behind is suffering, and if you are not careful, it will be an accident.

Along the way, there are countless horses that have been tossed and scrapped. Bruno is also ruthless, and if the colt is gone, then change to an orc to pull the cart.

The efficiency is a little lower, but on the whole, it still ensures the orderly progress of the baggage team.

In order to make up for the reduced efficiency, Bruno personally incarnated as a contractor, inspecting the project site while directing the soldiers to build roads.

They are all temporarily transferred, and the amateur contractor is paired with the amateur construction team, regardless of the quality of the project, this efficiency is not high anyway.

The more inefficient he is, the more Bruno is pointing fingers; The more you run to point fingers, the lower the construction efficiency will be.

Under the vicious circle, the road repair work has not been smooth. Seeing that the pre-agreed time had passed, Bruno's anger became more and more vigorous.

"Urgent!"

"Urgent!"

……

Under the guidance of the soldiers along the way, the Eagle Man Scout, who trotted all the way, finally arrived in front of Bruno.

"General, urgent report from the front.

The Beamon Legion was defeated by the Terran army and has now retreated to the Duchy of Orton.

Prince Butzweig told you to beware of the Terran schemes, and not to fall prey to their calculations......"

Before the Hawkman Scout could finish speaking, Bruno interrupted angrily, "Enough!

How to fight, I know it myself. I don't need a defeated general to point fingers in front of me.

Tell Prince Butzweig to take care of himself first! Don't be careless and become the first Beamon legion to be annihilated by the Terrans since the start of the war! ”

In the Orc Empire, only the strong are qualified to be respected. It turned out that Bruno bought Prince Butzweig's account because of his great military achievements.

Now the situation has changed, the successful Prince Butzweig has suffered successive defeats, first lost 300,000 besieging troops, and now even the descendants of the Bimon Legion are being chased by the Terrans and fleeing in all directions, so naturally there is no qualification for Bruno to continue to respect.

Coupled with the unhappiness along the way, he accumulated a belly of anger, and now he can't suppress it anymore.

The bear's temper is up, and he doesn't care what a prince is or not. Everyone doesn't eat together in a royal court, and even their colleagues are not counted, so they can't give so much face.

Venting a wave of resentment, Bruno had to face reality. The defeat of the Beamon Legion directly put the reinforcements of the Bear Man Imperial Court in an embarrassing situation.

Whether to move on or not is a question that needs to be pondered.

It's one thing to like recklessness, but that doesn't mean Bruno is a fool.

Without the support of the Beamon Legion, he would not have had the courage to lead the team to the Terran coalition alone.

After a moment's hesitation, Bruno shouted, "Guards, send someone to contact the other armies, I need to know what they are going to do next."

In addition, send someone to report the current situation to the imperial court, and ask His Majesty the Bear Emperor to decide whether to continue the march! ”

A similar scene was also staged in the other four-way orc army.

Bait, eaten and wiped clean by the enemy. Whether the net can be harvested now, no one can be sure.

The risks and benefits of continuing to send troops are completely disproportionate.

Unless the Imperial Court can send more reinforcements, it will be a big war with an uncertain future.

……

Under the city of Terrance, the armies of the five royal families of the orcs gathered, and everyone took out their family resources to launch the most fierce attack on this fortress city.

In the face of the ruthless orcs, the resistance of the defenders was very weak. The current city of Terence is like a dilapidated old house, crumbling in the wind and rain.

However, every time it came to a critical moment, the ancient city stood up again. The orc army opened the gap several times, but they were blocked by the lives of the defenders in the city.

The respected Marshal Hodge was already gray-haired at the moment, as if he had suddenly aged twenty years.

In the face of the menacing orcs, the nerves are tense all day long, and the pressure required can be imagined.

"Marshal, this is yesterday's casualty report, a total of three thousand two hundred and forty-six officers and men killed.

There are eleven broken places in the outer city, and although we have sealed the gaps, the defense is still greatly reduced.

It is expected that the next battle will be even more brutal. Based on the current intensity of the enemy's attack, it is expected that the outer city will fall in less than ten days. ”

Harley said in a low tone.

As Marshal Hodge's adjutant, he knew much more than ordinary officers and soldiers in the face of all kinds of data all day long.

People are like this, the more things they know, the less happiness they have.

The number of four-digit casualties every day, and the fact that they continue to increase over time, without the slightest hope of reinforcements, is really not optimistic.

If it was an internal war of the human race, it would have been broken a long time ago.

Everyone has been able to hold on until now, but it is purely the orc army that has surrounded Terrance and cannot pass through, so they can only carry it to the end.

Now it's not so much about holding on to the city as it is about trapping beasts.

The outer city was able to hold out, and that was because the inner city was too small to accommodate so many troops.

The army defending the city was almost dead, and it was time to retreat to the inner city.

The 10-day estimate is entirely the most optimistic estimate. As the gap increases, the number of casualties per day increases dramatically.

The probability of being broken by the enemy in advance is almost nine out of nine. The rest of the point is purely to count on the blessing of the Lord of Dawn.

"Got it, put the file here, and you can go down and rest!

As for defending the city, you don't have to worry too much. The situation has developed to this point, and we can only hold on one day at a time.

From now on, every day that Terrance insists on is buying time for the principality.

It's a pity that the orcs blocked the news and couldn't communicate with the royal capital, and they didn't know how far the situation in the principality had deteriorated. ”

Marshal Hodge said tiredly.

The hero is late, and even he is pessimistic about the situation.

However, at this point, no matter how the situation in the Duchy of Moxie changes, Terence City will not be able to bring reinforcements.

Unless they can hold out until reinforcements from the Terran Alliance arrive, there may be some room for manoeuvre.

"Marshal, the situation in the city will not change much, and you don't need to work too hard."

Harley spoke.

At this time, the officers and soldiers defending the city are mentally prepared to die. Even if they want to break through, the orcs outside won't agree!

Surrender, that's impossible. Losing everything to their own family, the key is that the credibility of the Orc Empire has long been consumed in countless wars in the past.

Of course, in the eyes of the orcs, the credibility of human beings is almost the same grade.

No matter how good you promised in advance, you will break the contract later. It doesn't matter once or twice, there will always be fools who will be fooled, and after a hundred and eighty times, fools are not enough.

Compared to surrendering and becoming a traitor, and finally getting on the barbecue, it is better to fight to the death and pull a few backs.

In this case, the morale of the defenders in the city is not high, but the ruthlessness of fighting is full.

Even if it is a cannon fodder army, the combat effectiveness that bursts out at the moment of life and death can catch up with three or four percent of the elite troops.

"Hahaha......"

"Rest assured, the city is here, the city is broken!

Harley, you don't need to worry about me. I won't be able to die until Terrance is taken down by the orcs.

As for you kid, wait for the opportunity to move when the time comes!

When the city is broken, it is also the most chaotic time. If you want to break through, that's the best time to do it.

If I am lucky enough to save my life, I will deliver this letter to His Majesty the King for me. ”

Marshal Hodge's words made Harley's tears fall uncontrollably.

Obviously, the letter was specially prepared for him. If there is no reason, break through and leave alone, it will be difficult to explain it clearly.

One more letter, and that is to leave with a mission. No one can do anything to criticize him on this issue.

Full of feelings, in the end only converged into two words: "Marshal, I ......"

I saw Hodge reach out and pat him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You don't need to say anything, I know your situation."

The only seedling in the family, with the inheritance of the family's bloodline, can't just die here.

My father and I are also old friends, and he blocked an arrow for me back then, and now I should repay you boy.

Don't be so sad, the military horse leather shroud is originally fate. It is also an honor to be able to die on the battlefield against the orc invasion, and it is better than dying in a bed.

The next thing is to test the results of your cultivation over the years, whether you can snatch a life back from the hands of death is still up to you.

Pray to the Lord of the Dawn! ”
