Chapter 969, Brainy’s Intelligence, This Is an Empty City!!!
Lehman City.
This fortress built by the Carlo family.
It is also the front line of the Orc Kingdom against the Alpha Kingdom.
Several invasions.
The orc army gathered in Lehman City.
The Alpha Kingdom went north for a decisive battle.
The purpose was to conquer Lehman City.
But so far.
This city has never been breached.
And as time goes by.
The power of the orc nobles is getting stronger and stronger.
A large number of orc pioneer territories were built.
A large area of territory was forcibly taken out from the Alpha Kingdom.
A large number of pioneer lords formed a buffer between the human Tyr City and Lehman City.
Before this, neither side could do anything to the other.
Therefore, limited peace was maintained.
Caravans shuttled between the two cities for trade.
But with the sudden death of the old governor of Tyr City in the capital of the Alpha Kingdom.
There was news of discord between the nobles on the border and the royal family.
The two sides even fought several times in secret.
The border nobles wanted to stabilize the territory behind them.
Some of the pioneer lords had to be withdrawn to return for defense.
This gave the orcs in Lehman City an opportunity.
They seized this golden opportunity.
They dispatched troops decisively.
In just a few days, they took over the pioneer lords' territory outside Tyr City.
The troops reached the city of Tyr.
When the news came out, the Alpha Kingdom was shocked.
The border nobles negotiated peace with the royal family.
Both sides began to gather legions to support the north.
But it would take at least half a month for the supporting army to arrive.
And now Tyr City can't wait for half a month.
In order to take down this city.
The elite of the Carlo family in Lehman City went out.
They mobilized the army of their own family, vassal, and pioneer lords.
All gathered under the city of Tyr.
Now!
Just wait to eliminate the reinforcements on both wings.
Then launch the final strong attack.
Take down Tyr City in one fell swoop.
Lehman City.
The parliament hall of the Carlo family.
"Report."
"News from the army ambushing the Red River Highlands."
"The coalition of nobles supporting Tyre City was completely wiped out three hours ago."
"Sir Feynman led the army to charge into the Red River Highlands."
"Thirteen noble territories were broken in a row."
"Now the nobles of the Red River Highlands are doing their best to defend the castle."
"Sir Feynman left some soldiers to feint."
"The rest of the army will go south to intercept the reinforcements from the Rainbow Land and the Swamp Land."
Duke Carlo, who was sitting on the upper seat, heard the news.
His face showed an uncontrollable excitement.
"Good."
"Great!!!"
The only thing to worry about when attacking Tyre City is the reinforcements from the Red River Highlands and the Rainbow Land.
The nobles of the Red River Highlands are famous for their good fighting skills.
Back then, this highland was still the territory of the orcs.
These ruined nobles from the south.
They actually bit off the orcs.
At that time, the orcs of the Red River Highlands were a centaur tribe.
They had 6,000 heavily armored warriors.
But such a force, facing the human heavy infantry wearing heavy armor and holding tower shields.
They were completely wiped out in one battle.
It shocked the entire orc kingdom.
Since then.
The orc tribe withdrew from the Red River Valley.
The power of humans reached the depths of the grassland.
Then the city of Tyre was established.
It was like a sharp knife, inserted into the orc grassland.
It became the eternal pain of all orcs.
Fortunately!
This pain will be removed soon.
"If we take over the city of Tyre, we can successfully take over the Red River Valley."
Duke Carlo said.
And the subordinate vassal said.
"Your Excellency."
"Don't forget the legions of the Rainbow Land and the Swamp Land."
Hearing the Swamp Land.
The orc nobles present laughed.
"Haha, the nobles of the swamp."
"A bunch of idiots who can't even beat the frogmen."
"That's the Sam family, with hundreds of greatsword infantry wearing chainmail."
"But so what, it's okay to bully the frogmen."
"If they dare to join the battlefield, they will be wiped out in one charge."
"Yes, the nobles of the swamp are all a bunch of beggars."
"What we really need to worry about is the nobles of the Rainbow Land."
"That's the royal territory."
"There are at least 5,000 heavily armored knights."
"Plus a large number of auxiliary legions."
"If the Rainbow Land fully supports, at least 30,000 troops can be dispatched!"
"This is a force that can influence the situation of the war."
In response, Duke Carlo raised his hand.
"Don't worry."
"It is absolutely impossible for the Rainbow Land to come out in full force!"
Others don't know, but Duke Carlo knows everything about the Rainbow Land.
The Alpha Kingdom is not a monolithic entity.
There are many conflicts between the nobles.
There are conflicts of interest between the royal family and the nobles.
The royal family and the border nobles both need each other and are wary of each other.
Rainbow Land is a territory built by the royal family at all costs specifically to check and balance the border nobles.
It was built around the time of Alpha VI.
He sent his younger brother to mingle with the border nobles and come to the border to find a suitable place to develop.
Later, the king's younger brother met the orcs' harpy tribe.
The place where the harpy lives is Rainbow Valley.
The climate there is suitable and there are large plains.
It is the most suitable land for building a territory.
To get this land.
The king's brother married the queen of the harpies.
At that time, the Queen of the Harpy also sent an envoy to invite the orc kingdom to watch the ceremony.
But because the other party and the Orc Kingdom are vassals, they have strong independence.
Plus she has to marry a human.
So the king at that time was very angry.
He directly refused to attend the ceremony and issued a warning.
Humans are a race that cannot be trusted.
Unfortunately, the Queen of the Harpies didn't listen.
Still immersed in the joy of the wedding.
Then tragedy happened.
The wedding day.
The harpies ate the wine and food of the human nobles.
All were poisoned and unable to fly.
Then the soldiers of the human nobles rushed into the wedding scene.
In front of the Harpy Queen, he killed all his people.
Even a newborn baby.
Didn't let it go either.
Directly let the harpies in Rainbow Valley be exterminated.
Then the Alpha royal family secretly invested a large amount of money and began to build Rainbow Valley.
After six generations.
Now he is Alpha XII.
This place has been firmly controlled by the royal family.
Within Rainbow Valley, there are twelve counts and one king's territory.
All nobles are held by relatives of the royal family.
Except for the king's lordship, the other earldoms are not permanent fiefdoms.
The Orc Kingdom has tried to regain this territory many times, but unfortunately it has failed.
Rainbow Valley is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the current entrance has already been built into a fortress.
Around Rainbow Valley.
A large number of pioneering nobles controlled by the royal family built many dependent territories.
The iron barrel made here is like a barrel.
That is, there is a rainbow collar.
Only the Alpha royal family is not afraid of the unrest of the border nobles.
Serves as a ballast stone to stabilize the border.
Duke Carlo is sure that the other party will never dare to send all their troops to support.
The number of troops sent is no more than three thousand.
And most of them should be legions affiliated with the pioneering territory outside the rainbow territory.
It is absolutely impossible for the real elite to leave there.
But even so, Duke Carlo did not dare to take it lightly.
After all, behind these three thousand legions, there are probably three hundred pioneering nobles who have awakened the power of the magic crystal.
Plus those nobles from the Swamp Territory.
If used well on the battlefield, it may determine the outcome of a war.
To be on the safe side.
Duke Carlo must destroy them.
"According to time."
"Count Feynman should be here soon."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"Earl Feynman's vanguard army arrived, and they encountered reinforcements from the Swamp Territory before."
"They tried to attack the blocking stockade and suffered heavy losses."
"Then just retreat and wait."
"Sir Feynman guesses that he is waiting for reinforcements from the Rainbow Land."
"So we haven't touched them yet."
Hearing this, Duke Carlo nodded.
"The nobles in the swamp have little fighting ability."
"You really shouldn't be exposed for them."
"By the way, is there any news from the team that was sent to attack the swamp nobles before?"
"Not yet, Your Excellency."
"Where's the frogman?"
"No, sir."
Duke Carlo had some bad premonitions when he heard this.
But just when he was about to order soldiers to investigate.
The latest information has arrived.
"Report."
"Your Excellency the Duke."
"News from Lord Feynman."
"The Rainbow Land Legion appears in the ambush circle."
"The ambush army has launched an attack."
"At best, we can eat them successfully tomorrow morning."
The news came.
There were roars of cheers throughout the hall.
"Stupid human nobles, it's time for you to get out of the grassland."
"This time, we want the Red River Valley, the city of Tire, and the Rainbow Land."
"For the harpy tribe, humans must die."
"Sir Carlo, I think it's time to lead the Guards Corps to the city of Tire."
"I, Landa, am willing to be the vanguard and lead my people to become the first wave of attacking legions."
A challenge to subordinates.
Duke Carlo was also a little excited.
But as a veteran nobleman.
Duke Carlo is still very cautious.
He looked at the soldier who was delivering the message.
"Surrounded by reinforcements from Rainbow Land."
"What about the Marshland Legion that was repulsed before?"
"Were they surrounded?"
"Probably not for now."
"But the location where the nobles of the Swamp Land are stationed is also the location of the ambush."
"And they have less than three thousand peasant soldiers."
"The only ones who are capable of fighting are the nobles."
"But this time, there are three times as many warriors who have awakened the magic crystal in Lord Feynman's hands."
"Even if they find out they're being ambushed."
"There is no possibility of changing the outcome of the war."
The person who brought the news was also a pioneer lord.
He also participated in the development of frontline ambush tactics.
That’s why I can talk here.
And these words were naturally recognized by the nobles present.
"Sir Carlo, I think he is right."
"The nobles of the swamp have always been a bunch of trash."
"Not to mention our place, even in the Alpha Kingdom, these people are not welcome. They are called country bumpkins and beggars full of earthy smell."
"Most of the nobles there are human mercenaries, and there are only a handful of wandering knights."
"Their strength is limited and they cannot pose any danger to us."
"Yes, Lord Carlo, maybe the team we sent has already invaded the territory of the swamp nobles."
"It's just that we haven't had time to send back the news yet."
"Yes, we also transported a lot of weapons to the frogmen in the swamp before."
"Although the frogmen's combat effectiveness is poor, they have iron weapons and fight in the swamp."
"With the team we dispatched, it won't be difficult to break into the territory of the human nobles."
In the hall, under the persuasion of the nobles one by one.
The doubts that arose in Duke Carlo's heart began to be dispelled little by little.
"Yes."
"The swamp nobles are not strong."
"Even if they are not eliminated, it is absolutely impossible to change the situation of the war with their strength alone."
"I was too cautious."
Duke Carlo shook his head.
"To be worried about a bunch of rubes."
"It would be foolish to delay the attack plan of Tire City because of this."
Think of this.
Duke Carlo did not hesitate at all.
He stood up and gave the order.
"Send the order!"
"Leman City is left with one thousand imperial guards and three thousand city defense troops stationed there."
"Leave everything to my eldest son, Jon Carlo, to command."
"The remaining guards and vassal nobles must assemble your legions immediately."
"Follow me to Tire City."
"Everyone."
"Won!"
"The Red River Valley is yours!"
"The city of Tire is yours!"
"The rainbow land flowing with milk and honey belongs to you too!"
Duke Carlo finished speaking.
Shocking cheers resounded through the sky again.
That night.
Lehman City has its best players.
Speeding towards the outside of Tire City.
at the same time.
Lehman City's hotel district.
Brainy in robes and dressed as a businessman.
He was sitting on the long table in the tavern, swirling the transparent liquid of tequila.
Slowly savor this rare delicacy.
"It's different from humans."
"The orc's tequila contains a burning heat that burns the throat."
"The first bite is painful, but you get used to it."
"The heat that burns the whole body makes one's blood boil."
"No wonder all monsters carry a lot of tequila with them when they go to war."
Brainy picked up the wine glass and drank it hard.
"Cough cough cough~"
"The regression in strength is too great."
After being burned by alcohol.
Brainy looked up.
At the entrance of the tavern, several strong tiger men walked in quickly.
These violent tiger warriors are now her subordinates.
After entering Lehman City.
Rely on these tiger warriors.
Blainey has become the master of a street's underground forces.
Nicknamed Tiger King.
The leader of the tiger team quickly stepped forward.
"grown ups."
"The news I just found out."
"Duke Carlo left Lehman City with all the elites."
"The destination is Tire City."
After hearing this, Brainy's eyes lit up slightly.
"It seems that we are ready to take action."
"Where is our lord now?"
"News from Lord Aria."
"Lehman City is one day away."
"They spared the road."
"Avoiding large pioneering collars."
Brainy looked at the map.
"Where is Aria's main force?"
"Lord Aria, you are still opening a way forward for your lord."
"Clean up the orc territory along the way."
"They are relatively fast and have cleared almost six pioneer territories."
"Compared to Lord Lord, Sir Aria should be able to arrive half a day earlier."
Brainy nodded.
"Then follow the previous plan."
"Place our people into the city guard."
"Watch the warehouse and awaken the magic crystal orcs."
"Send someone else to tell Aria."
"Just say it!"
“This is already an empty city!!!”
"Just wait until the legions arrive!"
"This city is ours!"
"All the magic crystals here belong to us!!!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!!!" (End of Chapter)
