At eight o'clock in the morning of June 25, the defense lines of Beardtown, Brill Heights, and Banson Town were attacked by the orc army at the same time.

In just half an hour, the entire southern region of the Klan Territory was ignited, the shields of the orcs and the tomahawk imperial soldiers were shining together, the elemental attacks of the mages and priests were constantly sublimated, and the confrontation between the paladins and the orc berserkers became more and more fierce.

On the Brill Heights defensive line, a long and narrow line of defense that is fifteen kilometers long, almost all of the forty-five thousand soldiers of the three banner regiments of the orcs are engaged in battle.

The battle has just begun, and some of the Imperial strongholds' defenses were almost broken in the first round of the Orc charge!

Viscount Casel was very shocked when he heard the battle reports on all fronts, and in order to encourage his soldiers to fight bravely, he even set up his headquarters at the forefront, and at the same time, sent a large number of inspection teams.

But Rao is so, and the war situation in various places is still not optimistic...

Two hours later,

The southwest defense line of Brill High was in an emergency, and when the information reached the hands of Viscount Cassifel, the five hundred imperial defenders of the stronghold of the southwest defense line had been completely wiped out, and the stronghold was declared lost!

As a last resort, Viscount Cassifer and his so-called nearly 20,000 soldiers had to retreat two miles.

An hour and a half later,

The report of the battle in Brill Heights reached Pedi, who was patrolling Mount Ariel, and Hades, who was Pedi's personal military adviser, immediately marked the new defensive line built by Casyfil's troops on the map after reading the information.

"They're retreating too fast!" said Pedy, with a hint of irritation in his tone.

Hades immediately said: "This can't be blamed on Viscount Caseel, after all, their front is too long, less than 20,000 troops are simply not enough to garrison such a narrow defensive line, coupled with the rush of time, the soldiers have not built effective fortifications at all." ”

"So, what good advice do you have?" asked Pedi, "Push the Fourth Corps up?"

"No, it's too early. Hades hurriedly said: "Caisifel's troops lack the assistance of magicians and paladins, I suggest that those oath knights and nobles who have come from all over the country be transferred to the Brill Heights, and the magicians they bring can play an advantage in the Brill Heights." ”

Pedy's eyes lit up, "Well, yes, let Sir Ike coordinate with these people." ”

"You just have to give them orders, you don't need so-called coordination, these people don't come here if they want fame. Hades smiled.

Seven hours later,

Hades's proposal paid off, and the retreating line of Brill Heights was finally brought under control, and Viscount Casel personally wrote to Petdy to express his gratitude for his assistance.

Pedi did not take credit, and he wrote back and said: I am just saving myself.

...

Time passed slowly in the flames of war, and soon came the first night after the war.

When Pedi's last meeting with the General Staff was over, the Deputy Chief of Staff, Sir Ike, brought the Deputy Chief of Military Intelligence to Pedi a very strange military report: the orcs in the stronghold north of Tenet were actually starting a large-scale withdrawal!

When Earl Anse heard the news, he was shocked, "No, they are not retreating, they are increasing their troops, increasing their troops to a certain stronghold!"

"Where will it be?" asked Pedi subconsciously.

"It's possible there. "The place I'm most worried about is Mount Ariel, and I feel like I need to go there myself to direct the battle, so go now." ”

"It's night. The Tamil Chief of Staff couldn't help but remind.

"It has nothing to do with day and night. Count Anse said coldly and walked away quickly.

Pedi looked at the back of Count Anse and did not stop him, he stared at the layout of the enemy and the enemy on the map and said: "Give the military intelligence department two days to reconnoiter the whereabouts of the orc flag group." ”

"Understood!" Sir Ike didn't hesitate, but the deputy chief of military intelligence and the sheriff of Banson Town, who was next to him, had a bitter face when he heard Pedy's order.

...

Valai Village,

A village in the northwestern region of the town of Banson.

Today, the village is home to the headquarters of the Orc tribe of the Cache Overseers.

"My lord, I'm not questioning your decision, but I can't figure it out for me to evacuate the Tenet River stronghold. "The head of the Eighth Banner, who had just been withdrawn from the Tenet River, had a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

"The mission to attack the Tenet River has been taken over by the 13th Mixed Flag Regiment, and you have a new mission. Kesai's chief of staff, Reman, took Bertin by the arm, pulled him to the map of the command post, pointed to a place, and said, "Your mission is to get around the mountains and reach our Brill Heights outpost within 36 hours. ”

"Isn't it the forces of the Khalikhan Overseers who are in charge there?" said Badin.

"This is an order from the High Command, and they believe that Brill Heights will open up the current stalemate situation..."

Bai Ding was a little excited when he heard this, and he immediately shouted loudly: "At most, in five days, the situation of stalemate will be opened, and there is no need to be so troublesome at all." ”

"You idiot. The Kesai Overseers smashed their hands around Mount Ariel in a circle, "The Supreme Command means that it wants to encircle and annihilate the Fifth Legion here!"

"Encirclement?is it possible?" said Berdin's gaze as he began to move back and forth to several strongholds marked on the map, and finally, his gaze stayed on the town of Benson, "They can flee to the Twak Territory to the east. ”

"Haha. Kesai smiled mysteriously, "Then let's see where they can run away!"

"Patin, what you have to do now is to immediately move your troops to Mount Brill quickly, and the order of the Supreme Command is that our troops and the Khan troops will meet at Mount Ariel at the end of this month at the latest!" German said: "Also, I forgot to tell you that in the order of the High Command, if you can't reach the Brill Forward Outpost Tower within 36 hours, your First Class troops will be Second Class troops immediately. ”

"The beast god is above, why didn't you say it earlier. Bai Ding's face changed and he didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly rushed out of the headquarters as fast as he could.

...

At three o'clock in the morning on June 26,

Duke Ron had just slept on his couch for less than three hours at the headquarters of Crane City, when the Chief of Military Intelligence woke him up and told him, "The forces of a flag regiment in the area of Banson Town are moving rapidly around Mount Ariel, and its destination may be Brill Heights. ”

Duke Ron's casualness was immediately dispelled by the news, and while ordering the Military Intelligence Service to convey the news to the headquarters of the Fifth Regiment in Banson Town as quickly as possible, he called an emergency meeting of the General Staff.

Half an hour later,

Under the organization of Chief of Staff Lem, all members of the staff began to deduce the impact of a flag regiment on the entire battle situation after it arrived at Brill Heights.

After a few minutes, Chief of Staff Lem said: "It seems that our inference is correct, the main purpose of the orcs to press the territory this time is not for Crane City, but to open the passage to the north of Benson Town. ”

The corners of Duke Ron's mouth flashed with bitterness, "Yes, the orc commander obviously doesn't want his troops to lose too much, and besides, their goal is not just our Crane Territory, otherwise Crane City would have fallen under the strong attack of the orc's 250,000 army." ”

Lem thought for a moment and said, "According to the intelligence analysis from Baron Pedi, it is possible that the orcs want to make peace with that ally in Fort Turbuk, and then launch an attack on the right flank and back of my Crane City. ”

Duke Ron thought for a moment and said, "Then we will inform Duke Gna now and let him solve the problem of Fort Turbuk as soon as possible?"

Lem immediately shook his head, "I'm afraid that the problem of Fort Thurbuk can't be solved in a short time, otherwise with Duke Gna's character, I'm afraid that I'm afraid that I'll be divided by the five horses a long time ago, besides, it's not a good thing for the Twak Leader to have turmoil at this time." ”

"And what now?" said Duke Ron frowned.

"Now, we can only trust Viscount Casey Fair, and hope that he will be able to hold out until the end of this month, until our right flank defense is completed..."

"But it didn't help, and I often dream about us after my failures. "Duke Ron's eyes darkened, which is the most fundamental reason why he chose to carry out the Knight of Cira plan.

"If His Majesty the Emperor's troops can reach the plains southeast of Crane City and station, I think, we..."

"Your Majesty is more stubborn than you think. Duke Ron shook his head.

"Well, we can only trust our officers and soldiers now. Lem whispered.

...

At noon on the 26th, Pedy received information from Duke Ron, and his staff immediately demonstrated the impact this would have on the defense line of Mount Ariel.

Half an hour later, Pedi rushed to Mount Ariel with the answers from the Staff Office.

An hour and a half later,

Earl Anse did not feel a little nervous when he heard this information, but felt a sense of relief, he looked at Pedi and said: "This is the weakness of our defense line that was exposed early on, I thought that none of the orcs found it, it turned out to be waiting for an opportunity." ”

"In this way, our Fifth Army will be in danger of being surrounded. Pedi's expression was solemn, "I was just on the way here, I was wondering if our burning plan should include the orcs of Brill Mountain?"

Count Anse nodded and said, "Same as I thought, but with bait." ”

"Aren't they trying to encircle and annihilate our Fifth Legion?" said Pedi through gritted teeth, "In that case, then use my Fifth Legion as bait, what do you think?"

"Good way, but it needs the cooperation of Viscount Casel. "Count Anse was not surprised by Pedy's plan.

Pedi immediately affirmed, "He will cooperate with us." ”

"So..."

Suddenly, three slight knocks on the door interrupted the conversation between the two.

Pedi frowned,

"Come in. Count Anse said softly.

The door opened, and the person who came in surprised Pedy, it was Sir Ike, and he looked at Pedi with a look of intent and stopping.

"Say it. Pedi gave the order.

"Yes, sir. Sir Ike slammed the door behind him, took two steps closer and said, "There's new news from Peruth, they have inquired about the headquarters of the Sabertooth Mercenary Regiment, and they have also found out the route of the Orc's secret troop transport. ”

"Oh?" said Peddy and Earl Anse's eyes lit up at the same time.
