Dalyn Prodmoore's defeat was not just his personal failure, nor was it just the defeat of the Kurtilas navy, it was the failure of the entire human kingdom.

You weren't in the army back then, can you imagine how hard it hit us when the news reached the north?

Maybe there will be people among the common people at that time who will make irresponsible comments about this failure, but I feel that maybe more people don't have much feeling about this failure. What if it fails?

Right.

But this is unimaginable to us, this is the strongest maritime military force in the kingdom of mankind! When the alliance was formed, it was full of pride and pride, and no matter how much of a role they could play in the war, I was talking about the time of melee on land. But it was at sea, on their home turf, where they were best at, and they were not only defeated, but almost wiped out.

This is hard to accept.

A few days later the two ships brought the exact news of the defeat, and these things were only what they said, and perhaps allowed them to say. But there are some things that they don't need to say too much, we can guess. One of the two is named Patrick Maxson and the other is Rulf Buxton. They were both officers under Dai Lin, and of course the two of them were said to be in good shape now.

They also brought two boats of personnel and supplies, saying that they were two boats, but in fact there were not many people. It is said that when they returned to Pelaras with the few remaining wrecked ships, the whole of Kul Tiras was shocked. The news of Dai Lin's defeat made the kingdom cloudy, and I didn't know what else was going on, anyway, the commander immediately ordered martial law on the whole island. I don't know if he's defending against orcs or his own people. Hum......

Their defeat was a sign that the orcs were likely to attack from the sea, which was the same prophecy I had seen, but I didn't give Lothar any more advice, and I wasn't sure if the orcs had any intention of attacking from land.

Do you think it's possible for orcs to attack from land?

I think it's still possible that they can defeat us once, but that doesn't mean they have enough boats, their advantage is obvious enough, and they should be able to think that we don't necessarily lose all of us this time. What would they do if humans retaliated against them. I don't think their leaders will be so reckless, so whether or not the orcs will attack from land will have to continue to be guarded against. I also don't want to be a finger-pointer, which is not only annoying but also wrong...... I don't want to be charged with this kind of crime, and I don't want to be a villain.

Now that the entire town of Nanhai couldn't sleep, Bi Jing learned from them that the kind of monster they later deduced should be dragons made everyone worried. So Lothar ordered a large number of giant crossbows to be made, and only if they could move.

It has always been that sentence, this is not false at all, blessings and disasters are not alone. Just when we are actively preparing for the competition and always feel that there is not enough time, there is not enough time. It was still a rainy night, and that's why I hate rain, and there is a village and town called Baisha Town, seventy kilometers east of Nanhai Town, where the orcs have landed.

The defenders there at that time were the troops of the Gilnesians.

Gulnis had some territorial problems with the Outlakens, and those problems happened to be in the land west of the town of Nanhai near Gilneis. Therefore, in order to avoid some unnecessary incidents, Gilneth's army was transferred to the east to garrison.

I don't know if it's deliberate, or if it's really not a good defense, the orc army really broke through here.

The heralds are in a hurry, and on such a rainy night, can you feel this mood? It's not terrible, it's more of that anger, disgust.

The orc army rushed over in the shortest possible time, and after the defeat of Kurtilas's navy, he did not immediately organize a follow-up fleet and hurriedly retake the island of Zuldre. In fact, other families still have ships, but in the end, they did not cooperate in time. The orcs used Zuldre Island as a springboard to attack directly on the northern mainland.

Hum...... What is that lord of Tol Barad called...... That guy doesn't have to die well!

He received the news of Kul Tiras's defeat, but the guy didn't lend a hand! In fact, if he sends troops, he can completely contain the orc attack at sea, which can buy us more time! But that guy chose to shrink, chose to be conservative, and didn't ...... It's not conservatism, it's betrayal!

That night, to be honest, I didn't know anything about the number of orcs, but ...... That feeling...... I can't say it, it's just very bad!

The army assembled quickly, but by the time they caught up with the orc troops, it was already the afternoon of the ninth day after departure. Of course, our cavalry was the first to arrive, and the next morning when we reached White Sands, it was in shambles, and the Orcs landed and plundered, and the Gilneys troops withdrew after just over an hour of resistance. The people who were left behind were killed and injured countless times, and when they saw this scene, Lothar angrily scolded directly, and they still don't know how many orcs there are in the follow-up encirclement and ready to start a war.

Gilneth sent a fool.

This orc army of less than 5,000 men, they immediately moved after landing, and moved towards the northeast at a rapid pace, which is really incomprehensible to us, and this was the situation at that time. In order to encircle the orc army, we immediately alerted Dunhold and the garrison of Stormgard Wall.

But the result was that just a few days after we left on the front foot, the town of White Sands suffered a second attack, and the second group of orc troops landed in the town of White Sands. And this batch of orc troops far outnumbered the first batch. The town of White Sands was burned to the ground. In the early morning of the second day after the second group of orc troops landed, the third group of orc troops arrived in Nanhai Town.

The town had not yet woken up from its slumber when the mighty orc ships appeared in the light of the morning sun, but by the time they awoke, the fleet that almost covered the sea had overwhelmed it.

At that time, I was still pursuing the first landing force with the Knights, and the garrison of Nanhai Town was actually ...... Alas, even if we were, this battle would not be easy to fight. There are too many of them.

Speaking of which, can you understand what I mean by Kul Tiras's defeat? Destroying them at sea is the best, fastest, and most surefire way, their wolf cavalry is useless at sea, their siege engines are useless, and their strong physique can be reduced to slag by strong ships and cannons.

But now these advantages are gone, and they have landed. We will suffer the retribution of our continued detachment!

Orcs run fast, they are big but not slow, and of course they eat a lot. As we chased them, we found that the creatures were eating all the living creatures they were passing through.

From bears, wolves, tigers and leopards, to deer, cattle, sheep and rabbits, and even birds. And these beasts even eat grain, and they take the plundered grain into soup or hard dry food that we can't gnaw on.

The bunch kept heading northeast, you know, there's a castle in that direction, and it's Dunhold, the largest military fort east of Hillsbrad. At that time, the garrison there was Brigadier General Haas, and there were more than 10,000 troops stationed there, plus the surrounding farms, a large part of which were to be nationalized, so the corps there was also half soldier and half peasant. Plus those people, there are really a lot of troops there.

At the time, I thought that if the orcs went straight to there, it wouldn't be impossible for us to wipe out the orcs in one fell swoop.

At that time, Lothar did not bring all the cavalry with him when he led his army, and our cavalry of 900 men was already a large size, and there were 300 heavy cavalry in it. It was the nine hundred of us who pursued and bitten them all the way. Lothar pursued us with infantry.

This cavalry regiment is mainly Lordaeron and Alteracs, our knights only have more than a hundred, and Gilneth only sends infantry. The Knights of Stormgard were also fighting well, but now they were staring at the Saldo Bridge and did not dare to withdraw at all.

When we found out that the orcs were not far away, the orcs also spotted us, and I think they must have spotted us a long time ago, and their route of march turned from northeast to northwest. The map shows that less than fifty kilometres northeast of our place is Dunhold Castle.

Our ravens should have already delivered the message, and if Commodore Haas had the will, he would have sent an army to intercept it.

The orcs did not attack us, and Uther, as our temporary commander, took the advice of Tirio Fordin, and we followed them for reinforcements from Brigadier General Haas, and our cavalry would be of very limited use in the event of a battle in the woods.

Just as we were anxiously waiting for the time to fight, the heralds of Dunhold Castle emerged from the woods, Brigadier General Haas had already known about our attack, and now he had sent two teams of men, one of them left Dunhold and headed west to block the way of the orcs, and the other group came straight for the orcs, preparing to surround the orcs near Palm Ridge, southwest of Dunhold. That place is high in the east and low in the west, and the orcs will most likely retreat to the west when attacked, and about twenty kilometers to the west is a vast river beach, once they are forced back and driven to the river beach, our cavalry can play a greater role.

This plan has been approved by many lords, and I am not familiar with Dunhold's side, since people say that it makes sense, I think it should be okay. The herald said that the battle should start this afternoon.

Hearing this, the cavalry were gearing up, and Fordin told me that he couldn't wait to use the power of the Light to see what effect it would have on the orc's head.

And Mistress Mograini glanced straight at him. He says it won't be easier than if you hammer a pumpkin with a hammer. Fording joked that if he knew the power of the Light, maybe they could hammer together.

Mograini was furious and wanted to compete with him to see who would hammer more pumpkins in the afternoon.

Instead of continuing the pursuit, we sent a few scouts to follow them, and all of them dismounted to rest, waiting for the afternoon battle.

According to our plan at the time, looking at the morale of everyone, I thought it would have been a big win.
