Chapter 161: Natural Disaster
After the prince said this question, the faces of the generals and sacrificers under the tent were a little strange, and when he left the battlefield, the prince ordered the number of dead to be counted, and it stands to reason that all 100,000 cavalry should be killed, but after checking the number of flags, it was found that at least 30,000 cavalry were missing, and the prince specially said this, and it was obvious that when he entered the battlefield, he had already discovered this problem.
Where did these 30,000 cavalry go?
The griffin troops suffered heavy casualties, and the news they brought back at that time was precious, no matter what kind of air force the orcs dispatched, as long as they showed up, the griffin troops would naturally record their characteristics clearly, even on the way to escape.
The griffons fled back with more than a dozen men, and the rest were all killed in battle, and they had no idea where the rest had gone, but one thing was certain: the cavalry had been captured or killed by the orcs.
You know, the enemy responsible for blocking this time is only 30,000 wolf cavalry plus 5,000 eagles and ratmen, if you want to directly capture the same number of cavalry, the possibility is very small, even if the weapons are surrendered, the cavalry can also control the mount to escape, but there is no trace of this on the battlefield, it seems that the 30,000 troops obediently followed the enemy out of the battlefield, and a large number of horse hoof traces found on the way of the wolf cavalry retreat also proved this.
In order to achieve this effect, it is necessary to completely lose the fighting spirit of these soldiers, is there any super strong person on the battlefield?
When the generals and priests under the tent looked at each other, the prince suddenly sighed and said, "Okay, these more than 30,000 cavalry should be put down for the time being, pass my order, and camp on the spot." ”
Soon, the prince's order was carried out, although the soldiers complained, but there was no way, as time went by, the follow-up troops arrived one after another, the campfire began to rise in the camp, and the logistics troops also began to cook on the fire, and now the logistics are tight, but the soldiers' food has been able to keep up, which is also the result of the prince's order.
Although the smell of the smell came to my nose, I was not so disgusted when I got used to it, and the aroma of the rice diluted the unpleasant smell when it was time to eat.
However, in the battlefield those soldiers who deal with the corpses are not so lucky, they not only have to concentrate the corpses, but also dismantle those traps of different forms, this work is done by two arms, one is ordinary soldiers, the other is scouts, in this blocking battle, the traps of the orcs played a great role, if it were not for these traps, the 100,000 cavalry would not have been divided into two, giving the wolf cavalry a chance to break through.
Knowing the opponent as much as possible in order to reduce casualties as much as possible, this is something that every imperial soldier knows, so watching these scouts face the sea of corpses with a calm face, those soldiers who cleaned up the corpses couldn't help but show expressions of admiration.
The soldiers with admiration on their faces did not know that in the minds of these scouts, they now admired the opponents who had set the trap. In less than two hours, at least fifty Scouts had been injured by the trap, and more than a dozen of them had died from their injuries, a message that allowed ordinary soldiers to escape from the trap as much as possible to avoid becoming ghosts.
Inside the big tent, the white magic crystal exudes a soft light, Faramir stood quietly in the middle of the big tent, watching the prince compare on the map, the giant long knife has been carried behind him, he is an imperial general, he has cultivated fighting spirit for many years, and he can completely control this long knife in terms of strength, but he needs time to get used to it, the long knife has no scabbard, the sword is on the ground, and the Xueliang blade reflects a trace of cold light outward.
After a long time, the prince stood up and put his hands on the map, and exhaled, while Faramir immediately stepped forward and handed over a glass of red wine, which had been awake for a long time, and if he did not drink it again, he was afraid that he would lose his taste.
The prince took the wine and took a sip before saying, "Faramor, do you have any thoughts on our opponent?"
Faramir shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, his subordinates are just military judges, and they have no opinions other than cutting people and conducting autopsies, but His Royal Highness the Prince, this knife is indeed a good knife." The prince nodded, then turned around and went to the middle of the big tent, where Faramir had been standing, and after glancing at the military judge, the prince sighed again and said, "You should know my second brother, right?"
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince. Faramir didn't know why the prince was talking about the second prince at this time, but he knew that the prince must have something to say, so he just answered and waited for the following.
The crown prince lowered his head and smiled bitterly and said: "My second brother and I have never looked down on each other, although he has no intention of competing with me for the throne, but he is indeed better than me here." After speaking, the prince pointed to his head, and before Faramir could open his mouth, the prince continued with a wry smile: "Before my second brother left the empire, he predicted that I would lose this expedition, and I didn't believe his words, but ......"
"Prince......" Faramor knew what the prince was going to say, and hurriedly said: "Please strengthen the prince's confidence, the empire is strong, the prince is wise, and he will definitely be able to win the final ......victory" Before the words were finished, Faramor saw the prince raise his hand, and he had no choice but to shut up, and the prince returned to his seat and said: "Now I have to say that the orc empire is indeed like my second brother said, it gave me a big surprise, and I am responsible for the mistake of the striker this time." ”
Faramo's face was anxious, but he still didn't say a word, the prince looked at the map and said: "This is the map of the Cardan Hills Realm, one of the territories of the Empire, and it is also a royal hunting ground, if I lose here, then I will lose far more than I imagined, so I must win, even if it is with this army that is at the bottom of the empire with combat effectiveness!"
Faramir was shocked after hearing this, showing a look of shock, I don't know why when he heard the prince finish the last sentence, he realized the abnormality in the prince's tone, it was a kind of helplessness and anger, the army in front of him was less than 500,000, it was indeed a very low army in the ranking of the emperor's ** regiment, and the combat effectiveness was not ordinarily poor, he came with the prince, so he knew very well that the combat effectiveness of these soldiers was a few catties and a few taels.
But the crown prince also had to take these troops into the war, the situation in the empire was stable, the supporters behind the 600,000 army were the high priests of the temple, the reason why these people came with the army was to snatch military merits and cultivate a few more of their own people in the army system, after hearing that the orc empire invaded the vassal country, the priests of these temples could not sit still and began to recommend the troops they supported to the imperial power, and the frequency has reached an outrageous level.
If it weren't for the imperial monarch Phil Kotler forcibly suppressed, I am afraid that these priests would be able to directly attack the orc empire with the army, and the prince who has made many achievements in quelling the rebellion has become the object of attention of the sacrifices, and at this time, except for the second prince, the other princes began to compete with each other The old emperor said that he could lead troops to attack the orc empire, and the prince's delay in expressing his position also attracted the attention of the old emperor, and as a result, the prince had to say that he was also willing to lead troops to attack the orc empire.
So the old emperor directly transferred these legions to the prince's command, and gathered enough of these 600,000 troops, not a single elite legion of the empire, and even the magic battalion of the regular legion was only more than a ten, less than two thousand.
A few days ago, the paper order was to completely decentralize the command of these armies, in fact, as long as people with a little brain know, this is the old emperor is testing the prince, how can the prince not know, but he understands another layer of his father's meaning, if his second brother is here, he may have completely understood when he heard the order, right?
But this second meaning can't be told to anyone, and it is precisely because of this that the prince sighs.
Looking at the military judge in front of him who had followed him for many years, the prince finally felt a little comforted in his heart, and it was time for all these years of hard work to come to fruition, "Faramor, you haven't said what you think of the orc army, just talk about it, now it's just you and me here, put down those shelves." ”
Faramor originally wanted to persuade the crown prince, but after hearing this, he had no choice but to nod and say: "Actually, in my opinion, from the perspective of individual combat ability and command ability, they are absolutely superior to most of the human generals, and this blocking battle can be clearly seen, followed by the problem of weapons and equipment." ”
"I discussed with some generals, and at the beginning, we thought that there might be a dwarf master helping the orc empire forge weapons, but from the perspective of the style and craftsmanship of the weapons, I don't think this should be the work of the dwarves, but the subordinates dare not assert that the orc empire has the ability to surpass the dwarf forging process, because this is really a bit unbelievable. After saying that, Faramir flicked the long knife behind his back with his hand, and the long knife let out a soft roar that lingered in the big tent for a long time.
"Finally, the reason why the subordinates are sure that the crown prince will win is because they have a feeling that no matter how tragic this battle is, it will be the empire that will win after all. Faramir frowned, a little trepidation on his face.
The prince was stunned after hearing this, lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said, "Do you think the Orc Empire will let me win the final victory?"
"I'm afraid yes, I don't know why I feel that way, but I do. Faramir knew that such words were enough to be beheaded several times, because such words deeply hurt the dignity of the prince!
"Report!" a guard suddenly rushed in with a panicked expression, and the prince's already frowning brows suddenly twisted together, but before he drew his long sword, he asked the guard to finish speaking.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, natural disasters! Necromancy!" The guard came to his senses after saying this, but at this time, the prince's long sword was already on his neck, and the guard, who was originally sweating, suddenly felt that his clothes were soaked through by cold sweat.
However, the prince's attention was already attracted by the noise outside the big tent, and after listening intently, the prince's face turned iron-blue, and he gritted his teeth and spit out two words.
"Golon!!"
