Chapter 447: Battle of the Races (2)
"How dare he?!How dare he ?!!" In the palace of the Orc Empire, Sally Yangtian roared angrily, and the expression on his face was very hideous!
Before, in the process of unifying the orc race, he was obstructed and harassed by Gu Yi in all aspects!
In the past, he financed his opponents to fight to the death, and in the latter he provided weapons to various orc tribes...... Let the road to unification of Sully be greatly difficult!
Even Sally once thought that the plague that occurred in the area where the orcs lived had something to do with Gu Yi!
It's just that this is just speculation and suspicion, and there is no real evidence!
It wasn't until a few years ago that Abysius found the 'Dark Spirit Clan', and it gradually recovered its decline!
With the help of Edward, the 'Dark Spirit King', Sully not only found out the shadows that the spirits had buried many years ago lurking in the Orc Empire, but also contacted the half-orc hero Kampas, helping him defeat Banks, the most powerful tribe of the Orcs, and then unified the Orcs and integrated into the Orc Empire!
In the past few years, Edward has obtained a lot of materials from the southwest of the Terrans through strategy, among which the high-quality steel has been crafted with the excellent smelting technology of the 'Dark Spirit Clan'!
All of this tells Sully that the Orc Empire is on the right path, and it won't be long before the Orc Empire will definitely be able to become a pivotal force in the Purple Gold Continent!
Unexpectedly, just when Sally was fantasizing about how to develop and grow the orc empire in the future, a piece of news reached his ears like a thunderbolt from the sky!
The Terrans have declared war on the Orc Empire!
To be precise, it is the Southwest King of the Human Race, Gu Yi, the Lord of the 'Howling Heaven', who has declared war on the Orc Empire!
When Sally first received the news, he first didn't believe it, then laughed at Gu Yi's incompetence, and now...... It's unparalleled anger!
From the news that came, Sally judged Gu Yi's thoughts at a glance, but what made him feel sad was that he had to act according to Gu Yi's thoughts!
A war of attrition with a limit!
This is unacceptable for the Orc Empire!
With the current state of the Orc Empire, the most important thing is to preserve the development of strength! War is to avoid as much as possible, let alone engage in a war of attrition!
You must know that in the previous unification war, a large amount of consumption of the elite layer of the orc race, especially the masters of the Great Commander level (that is, the Great Grandmaster level), has dropped to a historical low!
According to Sally's idea, it will take at least fifty years for the Orc Empire to replenish the number of Grand Commander-level masters, so that he can think about the expansion and development of the Orc Empire!
Can ...... now Gu Yi didn't give him a chance!
A war of attrition with combat power under the Great Commander, the purpose is to serve the growing quasi-masters of the Trumpet Orc Empire!
"He didn't dare, he had already done it!" Edward was calm beside Sally. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Compared to the orc race, the situation of the dark spirit clan is completely different! Great grandmaster-level masters abound, and there is no large amount of loss! Even if you lose members below the great grandmaster level in a future attrition war, it will not hurt the root of the dark spirit race!
After all, the Dark Spirit Race is also a Spirit Race, and their lifespan is too long, so there is no need to worry about the fault of the master!
"......" and the 'Half-Beast King' Campas on the side had a gloomy face, obviously he was also very worried about this big battle!
Unlike the Orc Unification War, the unification of the Orc Race does not cost much, but it can be regarded as preserving!
It's just that compared to the orc race, there are not many commander-level masters of the half-orc race, and a large number of warriors are below the commander level!
Once they lose too much in a war of attrition with the Terrans, the position of the Orcs in the Orc Empire is delicate!
After all, Kampas knew that even if the Orc Empire had accepted them on the surface, in fact, subtle discrimination and exclusion were inevitable!
Once the middle layer of the orc clan is consumed, what will be the status of the orc clan in the orc empire in the future, Kampas is really a little worried!
As one of the few brains of the orc race, Kampas has always believed that power and status can only be stabilized by their own strength, and it is just a paper covenant, which is really not enough!
"There's no way to stop it!" Abysius said as he looked at Sully with a gloomy face, "This is a conspiracy, and we have to fall for it!"
"He Gu Yi just decided that we can only follow his ideas and use mid- and low-level warriors to fight, so as to consume the potential of the Orc Empire!" Abysius deliberately said 'Orc Empire' instead of 'Orc Clan', and the meaning in his words was self-evident.
"National Teacher, can't we reverse this trend?!" Kampas knew that once the war started, the biggest loss would probably be his half-orc clan, who called the half-orc clan now has the most middle and low-level warriors?!
"I can't think of a way for a while!" Abysius shook his head, then looked at Edward, "Edward, what's the attitude of the barbarians?"
"The barbarians have seen that this is not a good thing for them, and they have agreed to come to their aid!" Edward nodded and said, "It's just that they can't easily pass through the barrier, they must force their way through!
"Damn, isn't the Terran disunited?why obstruct it?!This isn't the best chance to deplete Gu Yi?!" Kampas said angrily.
"The Terran race is divided, but the hearts of the foreign races are very united! Especially the masters at the top level, they will not allow anyone to lose the interests of the entire human race!" Abysius sighed, "Presumably all the masters of the human race have reached a consensus at this moment!"
"Bastard!" Camppass didn't seem to have much more to do than scold.
"Master, if we send an elite assault......." Sully asked with a look of hope as he looked at Abysius.
"No!" Abysius immediately shook his head resolutely and said, "The other party has already put on a clear stance, and we can't foul it! Otherwise, can you imagine the wrath of the supreme grandmaster of the human race?!"
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, isn't it okay for us to sit and wait?!" Sally said angrily as he kicked the chair next to him into pieces.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much!" Edward chuckled, not as irritable as Sally, and said indifferently, "The so-called defense is half an attack! In today's empire, it is extremely difficult to attack the human race, but if you just focus on defense, the other party will not be able to get any benefit!"
"What do you mean by that?!" Sally asked, frowning at Edward.
"Your Majesty, my orc empire is no longer what it used to be!" Edward said with a smile while still maintaining the bearing of the so-called spirit race, "When I first built the castle, I considered the threat of the human race, and built a dense bridgehead in the eastern position! It won't take long for us to connect all these bridgeheads and form a long, narrow and coherent defensive wall!"
"Oh?!" everyone looked at Edward in amazement, they really didn't know that the other party had built such a defense.
"The area where our orc empire is located is mountainous and forested, and there is no way to engage in open battles! With this coherent defensive wall, it can definitely resist the attack of the human race!" Edward said with a confident face.
"If that's the case, that's good!" said Sully, calming down, satisfied with Edward's words.
As long as you think about it a little, you can see how powerful the defense of this kind of tall wall is in the hills and rainforests! Originally, even on the open plain, it is more difficult to attack this kind of wall! If the attacking side is still unable to spread its formation, let alone say it!
"It's just that I need time!" said Edward, pausing and looking at Sully, "At the current rate of Terran's advance, it won't take long to get to the city wall under construction. If it is not finished by then, everything is in vain!"
"How long will it take you?!" Sally immediately knew what Edward meant, and asked directly.
"At least twenty days!" Edward thought for a moment, then said, "but you'd better give me thirty days!"
"Why is there a gap of ten days in between?!" Sally asked, frowning.
"Twenty days is enough to complete the project, but after all, it is too hasty!" Edward sighed, "If there are ten more days to reinforce, it will be solid!"
"Okay!" Sally nodded, looked down for a moment, and then looked up at Camppass, "Camppass, I need your helper!"
"Your Majesty commands!" Campas was reluctant to accept the answer.
"My orc clan has sent out 200,000 warriors, and I need your half-orc clan to send 400,000 warriors to stop the human team with the 'Giant Beast Cliff'!" Sally looked at Kampas and said in a deep voice, "We need to hold out there for at least twenty days! You know, the more people, the more likely you are to succeed and the less you can lose!"
"I know. Camppass nodded bitterly.
400,000 warriors is not much for the current orc race, but once the loss is definitely nerve-wracking!
Originally, according to the birth rate and survival rate of the orc race and the half-orc race, it was easy to form an army of one million people! It's just that the unification war made them lose a lot, and even more so the plague that swept the entire orc race and the half-orc race before, causing their population to lose a lot of money!
Fortunately, the terrain of the 'Giant Beast Cliff' is good, there are huge cliffs on both sides that are straight and towering, and only an open field in the middle can be passed, plus the terrain is higher than the east, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack!
"Who's the commander?!" Edward asked again at this time, "How many of us can't be on the front line!"
"......" suddenly fell silent again.
Under normal circumstances, both Sully and Campas are excellent candidates! It's just that they are all half-step supreme grandmasters, and if they go to the front line to command, it is easy to violate the rules of tacit understanding! Not to mention Abysius, who is already at the level of a supreme grandmaster!
As for Edward...... Let's not mention that his cultivation is mysterious and unknowable, but at least it is also the realm of a half-step great master! Besides, he is also responsible for building that continuous defensive wall, he really can't leave!
And under them...... Both Sully and Camppass felt very helpless.
It is difficult for the orcs and half-orcs to come up with a character who is good at brains, even if there are occasional genius masters, the leaders of all parties!
In today's younger generation, most of them are simple-minded and well-developed guys, and they really can't command this 600,000 army!
"So be it. Edward shook his head and chuckled, "I, the Dark Spirit Clan, also have a hundred thousand people, and a commander!"
"Oh?!" the group looked at Edward, waiting for him to say something later.
"His name is Klaas, and he is one of my youngest nephews, and now he happens to be a Grandmaster-level cultivator!" Edward paused and continued, "He has been very intelligent since he was a child, and he has been by my side for many years. He is also very good at battle formations and stratagems! If he is the commander, he should be able to do it!"
"......" The crowd fell into deep thought.
If the Dark Elvein was just a commander, they were a little worried about what was wrong. But Edward has produced another 100,000 low-level warriors of the Spirit Clan, which has reassured them a lot!
Of course, these mid- and low-level warriors of the Dark Spirit Clan are not precious resources in the Dark Spirit Clan, but they are out of the human after all!
"Alright, I'm right!" Sally weighed the pros and cons, nodded and said, "I hope to start tomorrow, is there a problem?!"
"Your Majesty, rest assured!" said Edward, bowing his head respectfully. No one saw the slightly upturned corners of his mouth when he lowered his head.
=========================================================
"Klaas has seen the Spirit King!" that night, a handsome young and handsome Dark Spirit Clan came to Edward's mansion and saluted respectfully.
"You're here. Edward looked at the visitor with a smile and said, "You don't need to see each other like this in private!
"Yes, uncle!" Klaas said with a smile and straightened up.
"Order, right?" said Edward, sitting in his seat, playing with the teacup in his hand as if he didn't care.
"Got it!" Klaas said with a smile as he sat down beside Edward.
"Do you know why I recommended you as the commander this time?" Edward asked as he continued to play with his teacup.
"Yes. ”
"Tell me about it. ”
"First of all, it is natural to resist the attack of the Terrans and fight for thirty days!" Claston paused and continued, "Secondly, naturally let the orcs and half-orcs consume as much as possible!"
"Our numbers are too small!" Edward sighed and said in a deep voice, "Compared to the races in the Purple Gold Continent, except for the dwarf race, which is the same as us, the rest of the races are too capable of giving birth!
"Uncle, to what extent?!" Klaas looked at Edward and asked solemnly, "Thirty ......percent?" Ten percent?!"
"Fifty percent! too much is too much to explain!" Edward smiled, "Of course the Terrans can't be less!"
"Yes!"
