Chapter 6: Deliberation
The sun gradually rose overhead, and the blazing sunlight cast on the armor and blades, emitting a cold light. The brutal war still seems to be going on as if it never ends. The soldiers fought each other with blood and stumps, either stabbing their blades into the enemy's body or being pierced by the enemy!
Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound, and the scarred walls of Warren City finally could not withstand the slashing of the long knives and axes in the hands of the orc soldiers, and collapsed with a bang, shattering into rubble. The Terran soldiers on this wall also screamed and fell down, some buried under the broken bricks and tiles, and some were slashed by the beast soldiers who swarmed up.
Looking at the breach in the city wall, the orc soldiers' eyes turned red with excitement, and they raised their blades high into the sky, shouting and rushing forward.
But Marshal Lupsas reacted as early as possible, and the Terran defenders were already waiting for them after the gap in the city wall.
But without the protection of the city walls, the disadvantage of the Terran defenders will only become more obvious, and it is only a matter of time before they are defeated. Marshal Lupsas understood this deeply, and he sat in the command room with red eyes, and the wrinkles on his forehead at the corners of his eyebrows were particularly noticeable at this moment.
At this moment, another violent roar burst into the air in the distance. The billowing sound waves reverberated back and forth, and even Lupsas, who was in the command room, had heard of it.
Marshal Lupsas noticed that something was wrong at the first time, whether he was fighting, resting, eating or sleeping in the past few days, he was constantly harassed by the rough voices of the orcs, and the rude roars of the orcs tortured his eardrums all the time. Therefore. As soon as he heard it, he realized the strangeness of the roar. This is not the cry of the orcs!
Sure enough, a herald hurriedly broke into the command room at this moment: "Lord Cavalry Marshal, there are reinforcements from the north! It's the Theseus Imperial Army and the Demon Legion!"
I remember that I publicly reprimanded Dick in front of Mitt for this incident. Now he is counting on this army to save himself. A wry smile appeared on Lupsas's lips.
Outside Warren, the tide of red demons and the tide of green orcs have collided fiercely, hitting the waves of bloody flesh. The two sides roared at each other, entangled and slaughtered together, the roar of the orcs was rude and savage, and the roar of the demons was bloodthirsty and violent. Both sides were fearless to the death, and the battle was extremely fierce.
The Rear-Gauge Imperial Army also set up a rigorous phalanx. Swords and shields charged forward to assist the Demon Legion in their battle.
The orc legion is already tired, plus the numerical disadvantage. It was soon suppressed by the Demon Legion and the Theseus Imperial Army, and later, even the city of Warren opened its gates and released cavalry to slash and kill with swords.
In the face of absolute disadvantage. The morale of the orcs dropped again and again. When the day is turning westward. Finally, the rout began, and the cavalry of the Xius Empire and the Miro Empire rode horses and slashed and slashed, bleeding for hundreds of miles.
Dick's arrival was greeted by the people of Warren City, and every household was decorated and whitewashed as if it were a holiday. Dick led his army in a parade through the city's main thoroughfares, reassuring the people and demonstrating the strength of the empire.
People crowded along the roadside, looking with admiration and adoration at the legions passing by the streets. There are already people shouting "Long live Miro", "God bless the people" and the like.
However, those who know a little bit can see the clues. Half of the 600,000 troops who came to the aid this time were demons, half were Xiusi, and not a single soldier was from the country of Milo, which shows how tight the military strength of the Miro Empire has been after the capture of the Faun Empire.
Not only the commoners, but also the officials and nobles welcomed Dick's arrival, and they gathered around him like a swarm of flies, and they tried their best to flatter and curry favor. Who doesn't know that the present Prince Dick is powerful and a great minister? As long as this lord speaks a few kind words in front of the Great, he will have a bright future.
Moreover, more well-informed people obtained information about the formation of the Cult of the God of War, and the fact that Dick Gui was an oracle and was about to become the pope of the God Cult.
This young man under the age of twenty-five held the military, political power and clerical power at the same time, and the aristocratic officials, celebrities and wealthy businessmen could almost see a bright new star rising in the empire, and his light was so dazzling that no one could compare with it, even the great Mitte Bixia was somewhat overshadowed by this brilliance.
Dick naturally didn't care what these nobles had in mind, he was hypocritical and polite with the celebrities of Warren City, and then very seriously declared that he had important business to discuss with Marshal Lupsas, and resolutely ordered everyone to be expelled. Then he stepped into the carriage and, accompanied by Dimichra, went to meet Marshal Lupsas.
Marshal Lupsas temporarily resides in the Lord's Mansion in Warren City, which was originally owned by a viscount named Vickersky, a mediocre old man with a short figure and an unattractive appearance. After the arrival of the marshal, he consciously gave up his mansion.
"On behalf of the entire people of Warren City, Lord Dick, I thank you for leading your troops to help. The army you brought with you saved the lives of the people of the city. In the reception hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Marshal Lupsas said with a smile to Dick. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, not long ago, Dick had just killed the Faun Emperor Yax, and then drifted away. Unexpectedly, it has only been less than half a month, and he has re-entered the political arena of Miro as an envoy of the god of war. And he also has more authority, more authority than when he was the Prince Regent.
Dick smiled and said, "Everywhere, the people of Warren City were able to be rescued, all thanks to Marshal Lupsas's use of troops and proper defense, resisting the attack of the orcs. I'm just leading the tail lift. ”
The two of them smiled and exchanged a few more polite words, and then the conversation shifted to the most important question of the day: how to deal with the invasion of the orcs?
Marshal Lupsas frowned and said: "The scale of the Orc Clan's invasion this time is extremely large, and the troops are divided into multiple routes, advancing in unison, from the entire Southern Wasteland to the human Shijie, from the extreme west of the Faun territory in the west, to the sea area of the Miro Empire in the east, all of which are within their attack range. If you want to clean it up one by one, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time.
However, the city defense troops of other cities may not be able to hold out for so long, and when we finish clearing the orcs, I am afraid that the territory of the human race will also be full of blood. ”
Dick smiled and said: "Please rest assured, Marshal, I have already discussed this with Mitte Bixia, passive defense is not a way after all, we can take the initiative to attack, and the enemy will be saved." And we have an army of 600,000 people, and we can not only encircle the area, but also send reinforcements. ”
Lupsas pondered for a while, then laughed loudly, "This is a brilliant plan, Lord Dick, you are really a good person!"
Dick waved his hand again and again: "How dare I show off in front of you, Mitte Bixia is talented and intelligent, this is completely an idea that Bixia came up with." ”
"Your Excellency, you are too modest. ”
Dick smiled slightly, avoided the topic, and said, "Lord Marshal, you have more experience than anyone else. The specific implementation of Jihua also needs your comments and suggestions. No, it is necessary to have your suggestion for this jihua to be able to implement it safely. ”
Lupsas laughed, "Don't dare, Lord Dick, you're exalting me too much. However, if a wise man thinks a thousand times, he will make a mistake, and a fool will have a thousand thoughts, and as long as Master Dick does not dislike it, I am willing to do my best to assist Master Dick and help you implement Jihua smoothly. ”
Dick consulted with Field Marshal Lupsas until late into the night, and Field Marshal Lupsas was extremely experienced in warfare, with a calm and steady-eyed vision, and his proposals were practical and constructive. Dick benefited a lot.
Dimichra knew nothing about the art of war, so he generally did not speak, but listened attentively. But she occasionally interjected, and she saw things from a completely different perspective, and was at the same time angelic intelligence and demonic cunning, so that when she spoke, she was bound to refresh Lupsas and Dick.
In the middle of the moon, Dick finally took his leave, and he led Dimihera to the gate of the lord's palace, and Marshal Lupsas carried it to the door, and watched as the two men boarded the carriage, and then the carriage drifted away to the sound of wheels. (To be continued......)
