Zakary won a great victory, which was decisive for the safety of the province of Geda.

There are eight orc legions under Kiram's command, more than 170,000 main orcs and 80,000 auxiliaries, and the war has continued until now, with about 140,000 main forces and 60,000 auxiliaries.

The Grant royal family is the strongest in the province of Rach, followed by the province of Geda, and the weakest in the province of Gascoigne.

Lahe Province not only has the main force of the Grizzly Legion, but also the two second-tier legions of Flying Eagle and Feiyan, plus the strongest aristocratic coalition army, which has contained three orc legions, 60,000 main forces, and 30,000 auxiliaries.

Even the headquarters of Kiram is located in the province of Rahe.

In addition, the Duke of Jonathan, which borders the province of Lach, is the most powerful duchess in the Kingdom of Grant.

If the war in Lahe Province is unfavorable, he can also ask for reinforcements from Duke Jonathan.

The forces in this direction, Kiram did not dare to weaken at all.

If the troops are transferred from the province of Rah, they will not be able to suppress the army of the Grant royal family immediately.

In addition, in the northeastern part of the province of Lach, there is also the county of Roger.

The strength of Roger's Earldom is not weak, and with the support of Duke Jonathan's Count, it withstood the attack of an orc legion.

Kiram invested in the number of troops in the county of Roger, about 20,000.

If you don't plan to conquer the county of Roger, you can draw a few brigades from this direction and join the battle in Geda Province.

Of the remaining 100,000 troops, the Orcs of Geda Province invested a legion, eight brigades, and about 50,000 auxiliaries.

The losses in this direction were the heaviest, 14,000 main forces were killed by Zachary, 5,000 were killed by the army commanded by Richard in two battles, and counting the orcs who were scattered, the loss of the orcs had exceeded 30,000.

Now there are only 17,000 troops left, of which 6,000 are weak auxiliaries.

In Geda Province, the noble coalition army of Heihe County commanded by Richard has 3,000 troops, the noble coalition army commanded by Viscount Rohmon has 5,000 troops, and the main force of the Northern Army has not lost 20,000 people.

The comparison of forces and combat effectiveness has become unbalanced.

If you want to maintain the battle line, you must send reinforcements to the province of Geda.

Killam threw a heavy force in the province of Gascoigne, and the total number of orc legions against Count Martins was more than eighty-four thousand. Among them, there are about 54,000 orcs in the main force.

Although the casualties in the battle were not small, there were still 48,000 main forces and 26,000 auxiliaries.

Of the 48,000 main forces, 30,000 were used to suppress the Wild Lion Legion, the main force of Gascoigne Province, and 10,000 fought against the noble coalition army. The remaining 8,000 were ready to be put into the Duke of Edward to support the fight of another orc front.

In this invasion of the Grant Kingdom, the Central Front army commanded by Kiram is the main force, and the orcs in the other two directions need to cooperate with the Central Front army.

Now that he received letters from Delency and Gunderson asking for help, Kiram could only take care of himself first, and dispatched five brigades of eight thousand orcs from the province of Gascoigne to support. 5,000 auxiliaries were also dispatched to cooperate with the support troops.

Richard was stationed at Felik Castle, not far from Blackriver Castle, and received a battle report the next day.

After the orcs retreated, Richard resumed communication with Heihe Fort, and he immediately sent the merit paperwork, along with more than 5,000 orc heads.

Now Drency and Gunderson, the remnants of the orc legion, are besieged by Zachary in Graveson Castle.

Richard and Viscount Rohman also received orders from Zachary.

Zachary ordered their two armies to join forces and march north from Fort William, stationing troops at the northern entrance to the Harland Valley, cutting off the orc food routes and blocking orc reinforcements.

The Northland Legion is preparing to besiege Graveson Castle for a long time and eat the Orcs of Western Deren.

Exposing one's back to the enemy is a very dangerous thing to do.

Drency's orc army, because of its superiority in strength in the early stage, fought too smoothly, so it ignored this weakness and made this serious mistake.

After receiving the order, Richard joined Viscount Rohmon and marched north along Fort William, once again to the north entrance of the gorge.

The north entrance of the Harland Canyon is a three-way crossing, which is one of the more important transportation arteries in the Eagle Mountains.

Gunderson had set up a military station here, leaving a brigade to garrison.

However, this brigade was routed by Richard, because the situation was uncertain and the territory was threatened by the Gunderson Division, and Richard abandoned this strategic point after the war.

Now that the orcs have regained the station, there are only a few hundred garrisons inside.

These hundreds of garrisons were all defeated by Richard's subordinates, and of course they could not withstand the attack of the coalition army of 8,000 nobles in Geda Province, and they were quickly killed, and their heads were also replaced.

The combined forces of Richard and Viscount Rohman cut off the western retreat of Deren, and Zakary led the Northern Army to surround the remnants of western Deren at Grayfordson, but he was unable to attack the city.

The main force of the Northern Legion is more than 20,000 people, and there are about 17,000 orcs in Graveson Castle. The orcs in the castle still have the strength to fight, and if they want to conquer this fortress, the northern legions must also defeat at least half of the soldiers.

After analyzing the situation on the battlefield, Zachary decided that the decisive battle was not yet ripe and chose a long-term siege.

Although there is not much food in Graveson's castle, there are about 8,000 captured human slaves, and the orcs can rely on cannibalism for two or three months.

It sounds cruel, but it's a race war to the death.

Cannibalism is not uncommon in war, let alone orcs.

Time passed like this, and in late April, the five brigades of orcs had completed three hundred kilometers of mountain road from the county of Martins to the north entrance of the Harland Gorge.

In the face of the aristocratic coalition that was waiting for them, the eight thousand orc reinforcements had no chance of winning at all, and they could break through the defense of the aristocratic coalition.

In the past ten days, under the auspices of Richard, using the camp left by the orcs, Richard strengthened the fortifications.

The orcs made a tentative attack, killing and wounding hundreds of soldiers before retreating.

The aristocratic coalition of the province of Geda blocked the northern entrance to the Haaland Gorge, and if you want to get around here, you have to walk at least 200 kilometers more mountain roads.

The logistics line is too long, and the grain route may be cut off at any time.

If you want to rescue the remnants of Drency, you must pull out this nail.

If you want to pull nails, five brigades of orcs are simply not enough.

Once again, the Orc Reinforcement Commander sent the Harpy to write a letter for help to Kiram.

As soon as the time dragged on in May, the situation in the northern frontier of the Grant Kingdom changed again.

Duke Jonathan and his troops have already repelled the orcs.

The Orc Eastern Front could not resist and had already moved closer to Kiram.

In order to deal with the enemy in the east, Kiram now has no reinforcements to use.

For a time, Geda Province was plunged into a long sit-down war, and no one took the initiative to attack, whether it was humans or orcs.

On the contrary, scouts are constantly being sent to spy on the opponent's movements.

In order to deal with the Harpy, Richard and Soros even led a small group of scouts to operate, setting traps to hunt and kill six or seven Harpies.

The harpy suffered a loss and quickly learned a lesson, and did not easily lower the altitude, and the efficiency of obtaining information about the orcs was also a few points lower.

Time passed slowly and continued until July.
