Chapter 77 Deep Into Enemy Territory

After conquering Fort Malte, Richard led the noble coalition to rest in the castle for a while.

The wounded needed treatment, the main force needed to be supplemented, and the supplies needed to be transported to the territory.

In this way, more than 20 days passed. During these 20 days, Richard used his power to directly disband a city defense squadron and incorporated it into the second squadron of Harland Territory and the seventh squadron of the eighth battalion of the Mad Lion Legion, thus enriching the main squadron.

Baron Sofia, Baron Les and other nobles also recruited the people of the territory to make up for the losses.

The influx of new recruits weakened the combat effectiveness of the noble private army.

But the war was not over yet, and there was no time to train them.

Even if the combat effectiveness was weakened, they still had to be put into the war.

The orcs didn't care about your combat effectiveness, they would attack when they should.

In early June, the noble coalition was rewarded for the merit of annihilating the Shamok Battalion.

The noble parliament rewarded a great merit for annihilating the Shamok Battalion.

But this great merit needs to be shared by six main officers.

In addition to the two commanders Richard and Baron Les, the three barons Sofia, Dak, and Bazel all have military merits.

In addition, Dida, the captain of the Mad Lion Legion, should also share the merits.

In the end, Richard got three medium merits, Les and Dida got two medium merits, and Sofia and the other two got one medium merit each.

In this battle, Richard killed the acting captain Bastruan, who was a fifth-level minotaur and was awarded three medium merits.

Killing a first-level orc will be rewarded with a small merit.

Other soldiers in the Harland Territory killed many orc officers, including Larmin, the captain of the Wolf Cavalry Squadron, four third-level snake-bodied people, and seven or eight low-level minotaurs and wild boars. A total of two medium merits and six small merits were obtained.

Richard rewarded the soldiers who made merits with a large amount of gold coins in exchange for their military merits.

Almost all the merits of this battle were registered on Richard, with a total of eight medium merits and seven small merits.

After the orc invasion war began, Richard made many military achievements.

Including the three great merits awarded by the heavy catapult, Richard has accumulated six great merits, eight medium merits, and two small merits.

If William can also make enough contributions in this war, the Harland family can also obtain a baronship.

Richard is very close to his own hereditary noble title.

In mid-June, with the reorganized noble coalition, Richard followed the main army and crossed the Eagle Mountains to serve as a logistics soldier for the Northern Army.

The Orc Empire is very large, with a territory of more than 80 million square kilometers, equivalent to one and a half Eurasian continents.

However, more than half of these 80 million square kilometers of land are uninhabited areas of permafrost, which are not suitable for biological survival.

Even among the strong orcs, only a few ice bear tribes are active in the permafrost zone.

Another part is contaminated by the death fog, and there are many undead creatures in the fog, which is a hidden danger within the Orc Empire.

Although the territory of the Orc Empire is huge, its national strength is far inferior to that of the Holy Glorious Empire.

The Holy Glorious Empire has a territory of 30 million square kilometers, a population of over one billion, and a military force of over 200 legions.

The main forces of the Seven Gods Church are also in the Holy Glorious Empire.

Today, the Holy Glorious Empire is the most powerful force in the Dawn Continent.

Humans can suppress orcs and elves, occupy the best geographical area of ​​the Central Continent, and drive the powerful dragons to the other plane.

The Holy Glorious Empire and the Seven Gods Church are the main pillars, and they have made the most important contribution to humans becoming the overlord of the Dawn Plane.

The Orc Empire is actually composed of tribes, and its internal organization and coordination capabilities are very average.

Many tribes are still full of hatred.

There are many conflicts between different races.

For example, when wolf-headed people and lion-headed people are hungry, they will hunt deer people and sheep people.

The reason why orcs can gather together is purely because of the oppression of powerful races and external pressure, forcing them to unite.

For example, the minotaurs, boarmen, foxmen, wolf-headed people, lion-headed people, snake-bodied people, eagle-bodied people, and behemoths are known as the eight royal families of the Orc Empire.

They united to form the Orc Empire.

The emperor of the Orc Empire is not hereditary, but must be elected by the top leaders of the eight royal families.

Each orc emperor is a very powerful legendary professional, and some are even stronger demigods. Only a few powerful human professionals can match them.

After the Northern Legion entered the Orc Empire, it began a large-scale looting. They dispersed in the vast grassland in groups.

In just over twenty days, they found out more than a dozen orc tribes and captured a large number of orc slaves.

Richard led the noble coalition and followed the Northern Legion to get some spoils.

In late July, the Orc Empire was furious and mobilized two main legions to counterattack, and successively annihilated two groups of the Northern Legion.

The Northern Army gathered its forces and slowly withdrew to the southern foot of the Eagle Mountains.

The Orc Army wanted to attack, but was hit back by the heavy catapults, resulting in many casualties.

Furious, the Orcs actually sent out two legendary professionals to attack the baggage of the Northern Army with their elite troops.

The strength of the legendary warriors is extremely strong. A legendary professional is powerful enough to compete with the main force of the Central Army.

If there are legendary professionals hiding in the dark and constantly attacking, the threat they pose is far more troublesome than a main army.

This kind of super terrorist, unless there is accurate intelligence, set traps to capture. Otherwise, a legendary professional fighting guerrilla warfare, even a powerful kingdom can't do anything to him.

The two legends attacked at the same time and immediately achieved very good results.

The heavy trebuchet brigade was severely damaged by the orcs, most of the heavy trebuchets were damaged, and some were seized by the orcs.

The orc army tasted the sweetness and let the legendary professionals take risks again, launching a surprise attack again in the middle of the night.

As a result, this time they fell into the trap of the Northern Legion.

The orc legendary professional was trapped by the legion magician, besieged by six or seven high-level warriors, and the elite brought by the orcs were also wiped out by the Northern Legion.

In the end, the legendary wild boar man Ramsuk died at the hands of Martins, the commander of the Northern Legion, which earned him the glorious title of "Pig Hunter" and made him the second hereditary earl in the northern region of the Grant Kingdom.

In the past few decades, the orcs have never lost a legendary professional in the war with the Grant Kingdom.

Every time they invade, they can capture a lot of slaves from the north.

Human production technology is much better than that of the orcs. The more humans they capture, the higher the productivity of the orc empire will be.

As for the dog-headed people, sheep-bodied people, werewolves, and lion-men who died in the southern foothills of the Eagle Mountains, they are consumables for the eight royal families of the orc empire and cannot be considered human beings at all.

The death of the high-level officials of the orc empire this time finally made the orc high-level officials sober up a little.
