Seventy-eight, the flames of war (9)

The Holy Mountain of Light, the Temple of Light has received the news of the defeat in the Battle of Gebiye, and the Pope is so angry that he smashes his desk, and he can't imagine that the Light Army has suffered a crushing defeat. The people of the Ovate faction in the Temple of Light did not attack Nicholas, and the blame for this defeat could not be pushed on Nicholas's head, if it wasn't for Somas's unauthorized actions, the Bright Army would not have suffered a fiasco, but Somas had already died in battle, and it didn't make much sense to hold a dead man accountable, so the major factions didn't say anything, but it was better to discuss how much reinforcements to give Nicholas at the meeting.

The strength of the orcs has been estimated, the orcs have dispatched a total of three of the nine armies of the beast god, plus the other eight legions, a total of eleven legions, and the Howling Tiger Army, with a total combat strength of about 350 million, and 500 million other troops, the strength of these miscellaneous troops basically does not need to be considered, and after a big war, the current strength of the orcs is still about 330 million, it can be said that the orcs still have strong combat effectiveness, as for whether the orc empire will support on a large scale, there is no information that the orc empire has issued a mobilization order, and it is estimated that there will not even be large-scale support。

Nicholas originally had more than 700 million troops, but now there are only about 600 million troops, in addition to the second cavalry corps and the third cavalry corps in the Tenth Army of Light, there are also twenty legions, but the establishment of five legions has been abolished, and now there are only fifteen legions, that is to say, Nicholas's subordinates still have the strength of seventeen legions, and it is very difficult to use the strength of these seventeen legions to deal with the strength of Xuantian's ten legions, so it is necessary to send reinforcements to Nicholas, but who to send?

As a father, Oberka Rhonas said loudly at the meeting: "I think that more powerful troops should be sent, Nicholas is my son, not I praise him, he is indeed a genius of war, but no matter how talented a commander is, he cannot exert his combat effectiveness without strong soldiers, so I think that Nicholas should be sent to three legions of ten armies." ”

Owalt immediately objected: "Lord Obaika, I have no objection to sending reinforcements to Lord Nicholas, but the Ten Armies of Light are the foundation troops of the Temple, and we have already mobilized three legions, if we send three more legions, the defense of the Temple will be empty, and if the Dark Sinners take the opportunity to attack, the Temple will be in danger." So, in my opinion, it is not possible to send the legions of the Ten Army. "Of course Ovart has to object, the Ten Armies of Light have always been the Guardian Corps of the Temple of Light, this legion exists as the Pope's personal soldiers, if Ovate wants to become the next Pope, he must get the support of the Ten Armies of Light, otherwise, even if he sits on the throne of the Pope, he will not be able to sit steadily, there are already three armies in the Ten Armies of Light that have clearly expressed their support for him as the Pope, however, there are also two armies (the second and third cavalry corps) that support Nicholas, if three more legions are sent to Nicholas, if you send Ovat's people, then the big battle will lose, what will be lost is the strength of Ovat, if you send someone elseI am afraid that after a war, these three legions will become supporters of Nicholas, you must know that the friendship formed in the war is very stable, otherwise how to "carry the gun together" as one of the four iron in life? and it is still the most important one. The loss of Somas has already made Ovat's heart tremble, and now that Nicholas is to be supported by three legions, will Ovatt be able to sleep in the future?

Cardinal Miss-Beemans St. Aulus said: "I support Operka's opinion, and now, when our army is newly defeated, how much combat effectiveness can be exerted if Nicholas is sent some miscellaneous troops? ”

A cardinal said, "Otherwise, let's send shadow troops." Everyone's faces changed a little, and the Pope's face was not good: "Is our situation so dangerous? Do we need to send shadow troops? Do you have no other troops to send?"

Everyone is against sending out shadow troops, just because, the shadow troops are too important, if the Ten Armies of Light are the troops on the bright side of the Temple of Light, then the shadow troops are the trump card of the Temple of Light, if even this trump card has to be dispatched, then it doesn't mean that the Temple of Light has reached the most critical moment, and this force must not be used lightly.

The shadow army is the strength of each soldier in this army is above the saint-level high level, the number of people has reached 150 million, divided into five legions, namely the first legion of the shadow to the fifth legion of the shadow, the combat effectiveness of this army is too strong, there are hundreds of god-level masters in it, tens of thousands of super-god-level masters, the strength is definitely stronger than the ten armies of light combined, and the shadow troops in the dark temple are comparable, if the temple of light uses the shadow troops, then the dark temple will also use the shadow troops, when the time comes, it will be the real Armageddon, such a thing, not what the Pope and others want.

Of course, the Orc Empire also has a powerful secret army, which can fight with the Temple of Light for so long without being destroyed, all because the Orc Empire has a powerful Beast God Legion, the number of this Beast God Legion is about 100 million, and the strength is not under the shadow army, if the shadow army is dispatched, then the Beast God Legion will also be dispatched, and when the time comes, it will be the super Armageddon between the Temple of Light and the Orc Empire。

After discussing for two days, it was finally decided to send five miscellaneous legions to Nicholas, but also to draw some officers from the Bright Ten Army to strengthen it, so that it could be regarded as sending a relatively strong force to Nicholas, but this army did not have three months and did not want to reach the front line.

Xuantian has no way to deal with Nicholas, Nicholas now belongs to the turtle, retracting into the fortress is not moving, no matter what Xuantian does, he just doesn't move, let Xuantian make the wind and rain outside, which makes Xuantian angry, however, there is no way at all, people like Nicholas, once the iron heart does not move, it will not move, no matter what method Xuantian uses to provoke him, he will not move.

Xuantian really sighed, to attack the strong fortress head-on, it is not impossible to break through, but the price to pay is too great, it is not in the interests of the orcs, if there are too many dead people, Xuantian will not be able to account after returning to China, if you use magic cannons, Nicholas is not the same thing at all, you have magic cannons, Nicholas also has it, the big deal is to fight a war of attrition, see if you have more cannons in Xuantian or more in mine, if you really want to fight a war of attrition, Xuantian is definitely not Nicholas's opponent, in this way, Xuantian has no way to think about it, coupled with the elite small troops sent by Nicholas constantly interfering with the orc's transportation lines in the rear, Xuantian's life began to be difficult.

There are officers of the Army of Light who want to fight, but after Nicholas asked the Pope to send the scepter of the God of Light as the seal of the supreme commander and cut a few, no one proposed to fight, although there are many officers who are dissatisfied with Nicholas, but they have no choice, after all, the car of Somas died not long ago, so this group of militants can't make any trouble.

The two sides were at a stalemate on the front line, and no one could take advantage of anyone, and when Xuantian held a military meeting, he said with a headache: "Everyone help to think of a way, how to make Nicholas, a turtle, show its head." All the officers said that there was no way to think about it, scolded, scolded, no use at all, challenged, challenged a few times, but it made Nicholas half angry with one sentence: "I don't know how to fight magic, what do I fight with you?" and all kinds of insulting words I don't know how much I have scolded, on the contrary, Nicholas sat on the wall of the fortress and lined up tea and fruits, while eating and drinking to watch the excitement, which made the orc officers have no temper at all.

I also thought too much about the tactical aspect, digging tunnels, but it didn't work. Nicholas had already dug a trench in front of the fortress to a depth of 100 meters, which made it impossible for the orcs to dig tunnels. With the Air Force, that will not be possible, airborne tactics are not a new tactic, besides, if there is no large army into the city, the Air Force airborne landing is only a dead end, so all kinds of tactics are useless at all. As for sending troops to infiltrate the rear of the fortress, there is nothing, Nicholas has already suffered such a loss, this time, he has sent countless scout troops to intensify patrols between the fortresses, it is impossible to infiltrate the large army, as for the small troops to infiltrate the past, what role can the small troops play in penetrating the past? Nicholas still has a large number of troops to mobilize, before breaking through the fortress defense line, even after the Xuantian Howling Tiger Army infiltrates, there is only a dead end, in a word, there is no way to take Nicholas.

Yinyue said, "Brother Tian, let's withdraw our troops." All the officers were taken aback: "Withdraw?" Yinyue said, "Yes, it's withdrawing." We are no longer of any use here, Nicholas is already determined to defend to the death, and their civilians have retreated to the rear, Nicholas has no worries, so if he does not come out, we have no way to think about it, unless we can break through his fortress, otherwise, it is useless for us to stay here. ”

Xuantian thought for a moment and said, "It's just that our strategic goal has not been achieved." "Brother Tian, that doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that we have achieved a certain war goal, we have weakened the war potential of the Temple of Light, what else can we do? You don't want to occupy this place, do you. "How can that be? My brain isn't that stupid yet. "In that case, we have no choice but to withdraw our troops, and we will not be able to take advantage of anything here." Besides, the consumption required by the army is very large, and the withdrawal of the army should be the best way for us now. ”

In the case of nothing to do, Xuantian also had to agree, the withdrawal is the best choice now, this time the war has grabbed a lot of materials, at least, there is no loss, the withdrawal can also explain the past, although the strategic goal has not been achieved, however, it can also be said that part of it has been achieved.

Since he was going to withdraw his troops, Xuantian gritted his teeth and said, "Let's withdraw, but demolish all those fortresses for me, I hate them when I see them." So, when the orcs retreated, they demolished all the eighteen fortresses on the first line of defense, and it would cost a lot of money to rebuild these eighteen fortresses in the Temple of Light.

This war was Xuantian's second war after the orc empire came to power, and it was known as the second battle of light beasts. The result of the war was a draw, although the Temple of Light suffered a little loss, but it was not big, and the orcs did not take any big advantage, and the two sides could only be regarded as a tie, because it was the orc army itself that took the initiative to retreat, so it could not be regarded as the winner of the war.
