Chapter 979, Guderian's Attack, the Orc King Fainted!

Orc Kingdom.

Saint-Pierre Province.

This is the territory of the orc nobles close to the border.

For a long time, every time they fought with the Alpha Kingdom.

Saint-Pierre Province would become a distribution center for supplies.

Countless pioneering knights completed the transfer here with population and resources.

Then went to the border.

This is also the reason.

In order to guard against the Alpha Kingdom.

A large number of fixed watchtowers were built on the border of Saint-Pierre Province.

Along the watchtowers, there are patrolling legions.

And behind the watchtowers.

There are also large and small fortresses.

Once the enemy invasion is discovered, the soldiers stationed in these fortresses will support as quickly as possible.

However, the orc king recruited 500,000 troops to go south.

A lot of patrol legions and watchtower guards in Saint-Pierre Province were also recruited.

They served as the second-line auxiliary legions.

Helped the army transport supplies.

And after being withdrawn.

This line of defense began to have loopholes.

Just gave the legion led by Guderian an opportunity.

"The news just detected."

"There are less than ten guards in the nearest fixed outpost."

"A patrol corps has just left."

"The next patrol corps will not arrive until tomorrow."

"We have a whole day to cross the defense line calmly."

"Enter the heartland of the orcs."

Asis, who was sent to help, narrated the latest intelligence.

Guderian looked at the clear map on the ground.

There was admiration in his eyes.

Asis is worthy of being from a regular corps.

Just the map work is not comparable to himself.

"One day, so long?"

"More than half of the patrol corps along the orcs have been withdrawn."

"Originally, there were three patrols in turn."

Guderian nodded.

Then he said to the knight behind him.

"Let Hagen take his subordinates with him."

"Climb over the outer wall of the sentry tower and eliminate the defenders inside."

"Tell Bri to divide the troops immediately."

"Gather all the knights."

"Leave the infantry to Commander Asis."

"Yes, sir!"

Because of his outstanding record before.

A large number of noble young men gathered around Guderian.

After receiving Fang Yuan's order.

Guderian decisively led some of them into the northwest forest.

Then he used powerful force to subdue the pioneer knights who retreated into the mountains and forests.

He led them to attack the orc supply lines along the way.

After several days of running-in and continuous victories.

Guderian established absolute authority.

Even the most unruly pioneer lords would obey his orders at this time.

As soon as the order was issued.

The nobles spontaneously gathered around Guderian with their most elite knights.

"The number of infantrymen is 5,000."

"Our cavalry totals 3,000."

The young knight named Bri said with a look of reverence.

Bri was originally a pioneer noble of Rainbow Territory.

When attacking the caravan of Tyre City.

He saw Guderian's madness with his own eyes.

From then on, he was sure that this was the noble he followed.

He gave up the Rainbow Territory directly in exchange for a piece of barren land.

He followed Guderian with fifty knights.

Now he is one of Guderian's most trusted knights.

"Don't take the old and weak, and don't take those with slow horses."

"Don't take those with only one horse."

"Abandon all baggage, discard all heavy armor and lances."

"Everyone only takes three days of dry food, wears chain mail, and only carries knight swords."

Guderian quickly ordered.

And this order made Bri couldn't help but be surprised.

"Sir."

"Our combat effectiveness has dropped by at least 2/3!"

Guderian chuckled.

"We are about to go deep into the enemy's hinterland."

"Give up some defense and offense in exchange for strong mobility."

"It will allow us to survive the next war."

"Don't ask too much, just do it."

"Yes!"

Not long after, the number of knights after the reorganization was only 1,200.

"Asis!"

'I will leave all these cavalry and infantry to you. '

"A total of 6,800 people."

"My requirements are not high."

"Here, guard our retreat passage."

"As long as you can do it."

"I can return in five days at most!"

Asis knew what he was talking about.

"Don't worry."

"As long as I am here, this retreat passage will still be there."

Guderian nodded.

He trusted Asis, just like he trusted Fang Yuan.

He stopped talking nonsense and waited for good news from the sentry tower.

The knight in charge of attacking the sentry tower fortress was a knight named Hagen.

Unlike Bri.

Hagen was born a commoner and was once a slave of the Alpha Kingdom.

He followed the lord to the northern border to open up.

Later, he killed the lord and inherited everything from him.

He also successfully awakened the magic crystal.

He became a mid-level magic crystal warrior.

After that, he gained a lot of merit in several territorial expansions.

At this time, even everyone knew that Hagen was not the legitimate heir to the title.

In the end, he could only admit it with a pinch of his nose.

This is the border!

As long as you can fight.

Everything is possible.

After Hagen became the lord, his reputation quickly spread among the noble circles.

His nickname is Red Viper.

It’s not that there’s a venomous snake hiding in the shield.

But like a poisonous snake, snooping in the dark.

When I find an opportunity, I rush in and take a bite.

Rumor has it that most of Hagen's territory's income comes from kidnappings.

And the business is very broad.

He also made it to the orc side.

This naturally led to contempt and resistance from all parties.

However he can fight, no one can do anything against him.

Fortunately, the orcs invaded later and focused on Hagen's territory.

Destroyed his entire clan.

Hagen was the only one left to escape.

He then hid in the city of Tyre.

When Guderian kidnapped caravans on a large scale in the city.

Hagen found the opportunity and took his gang team to join him.

After going through several wars.

Hagen became Guderian's vanguard.

Specially responsible for solving difficult-to-attack places such as guard towers.

now.

The perimeter of the guard tower.

Hagen and his subordinates swam like geckos.

Quickly climbed up the wall.

And inside the guard tower.

Four of the eight defenders stood chatting at the edge of the wall.

The remaining four were sleeping in their rooms.

"I heard that this time the 500,000-strong army is all fighting soldiers."

"This should be the limit of the kingdom's mobilization."

"Don't you think too much? If the king is willing, he can mobilize 600,000 people."

"We cannon fodder can't even qualify for the second mobilization, so we can only serve as a second-line supply corps."

"Yes. I heard that the guys from the nomadic grassland also participated in the war. Why didn't I see their army?"

"Over there in the Red River Valley, I heard the losses were considerable."

"What, these guys who believe in God, don't they claim to be strong in battle and can fight one against ten?"

"Hehe, they can face us, but they hit a nail this time."

"The Red River Valley has absorbed a group of nobles from the Cross Sword Alliance."

"It's because of the hard work of this alliance."

"Only in this way can we stop the attack of the Temple Legion."

"Ten bishops were killed in one day."

"so much?"

"What do you think? The offensive and defensive battle over there is very fierce."

"Yes, I have seen the defense map of the Red River Valley."

"Even with the assistance of the alchemy puppet, it is difficult to break through quickly."

"It's time to let the guys in these temples know that no matter where they are, nobles are not easy to mess with."

"There is no need to talk nonsense. After hearing this, believers in the temple are infiltrating everywhere."

"We just want to support our family, there's no need~"

The next words have not been spoken yet.

A short sword penetrated.

Cut off the soldier's neck directly.

The others didn't even have time to react.

His head was cut off by a swift dagger.

The process is so fast, it takes almost a moment.

This is Hagen's strength, especially after experiencing a lot of life and death tests.

Plus a mix of street fighting.

Hagen's assassination skills have reached perfection.

A few ordinary soldiers are nothing to worry about.

After killing them.

The followers behind Hagen jumped into the guard tower.

Before the remaining people could react, it was an invasion.

His head was chopped off with a long sword.

"you!"

"Notify Lord Guderian immediately."

"Mission accomplished, safe, passable."

"As you command!"

After receiving the news, Guderian immediately led people to appear at the guard tower.

See the flag waving above.

Guderian clamped his horse's belly, thousands of selected elite human cavalrymen.

In one fell swoop, he entered the heart of the orcs.

at the same time.

Assis, who stayed behind, quickly took over the place.

"Somebody come!"

"Deploy five hundred knights to attack the guard tower and patrol in the north."

"Attract the enemy's attention along this line of defense."

"As you command!"

Assis's order was undoubtedly correct.

And this move he ordered.

It also bought Guderian time.

Just after this knight attracted the enemy.

Guderian's cavalry has arrived at the first fortress in St. Pierre Province.

Here, about a hundred guards are stationed.

There are a lot of fertile fields around the castle.

After the orcs became aristocrats, the most significant change was that they learned to farm.

This is the time to sow.

Orc slaves, big and small, were bent over planting rice.

The orc in charge of overseeing the work was urging them to work with a whip.

"You lazy bunch, you won't be allowed to sleep until you finish your work today."

The orc slaves suffered the damage and would just keep their heads down and farm.

His eyes were filled with numbness.

But that's it.

An arrow passed through.

The overseer was nailed to death with precision.

Subsequently.

Hundreds of human knights arrived.

Swarmed up and killed all the guards outside.

Then under the eyes of all slave workers.

These human knights enter the castle with ease.

Drag out the nobles stationed here and kill them.

The corpse was hung on the city wall.

Then he ignored these orc slaves.

The human knight quickly disappeared.

And this!

This is already the tenth attack launched by Guderian.

Wreaking havoc on the home front.

Directly destroyed the basic organization of the orcs.

This leaves them with no way to pass the message upward.

As for the nobles above, they still have no idea that the overseer of their territory has been killed.

Those humble slave workers actually started to rebel.

When the human knight left.

The orc slave looked at the dead overseer in front of him.

There was a slight emotional change in the numb eyes.

Then the whip was struck and the body was beaten.

After beating the supervisor's body to pieces.

The wild nature of these slaves was brought out.

Then frontier slave labor rebellions began to arise.

Unrest began to appear behind the orc army.

To this.

The orcs passed the news up.

At the beginning, whether it was the orc king or other nobles.

Everyone thought it was a small thing.

after all!

It happens hundreds of times every year, and they are used to it.

Only a second-line army was sent to support.

Then!

Tragedy has come.

The second-line army encountered Guderian.

"kill!"

On the battlefield.

As the armies on both sides began to move closer to the center.

The supporting infantry looked frightened.

They couldn't imagine it.

A very simple counterinsurgency war turned out to be the elite of mankind.

They are all second-line legions and cannot be used as regular armies at all.

Faced with this sudden attack.

Soon things were in disarray.

Just ten minutes.

This legion was slaughtered.

The slaves saw that no orc army was coming.

It started to become more and more violent.

No need for guidance from Guderian.

They began to spontaneously attack the noble territories.

Not long.

The number of orc slaves alone reached 30,000.

This sudden rebellion.

The Governor of St. Pierre was caught off guard.

He could only urgently dispatch the 10,000 legions stationed in the territory to rush for reinforcements.

Then, 20,000 patrol knights were mobilized from various places.

After the transfer.

St. Pierre's defense is like a sieve.

This is what Guderian was waiting for.

More than a thousand people went deep behind enemy lines.

Easily passed St. Pierre and entered the territory directly under the king of the Orc Kingdom.

Hollyoak Province.

"Your Mightiness."

"Ahead is the orc king's manor."

"I just found out the latest information."

"The youngest son of the Orc King is on vacation there."

Hear the news.

Guderian showed a sinister smile.

"Pass the order."

"Attack the manor."

"Catch the little prince."

"This time, I want the king to pay the ransom!"

"yes!"

In the palace of the orc capital.

The kings of this generation were extremely ambitious.

He is ready to take advantage of this time to completely swallow up the border.

This was used to expand the power of the nobility.

It will take another ten years to completely kill the beast god of the grassland.

Complete the nobility of the orcs.

Only nobles can have fighting power.

Nomadic tribes are a bunch of trash.

"Squire."

"Tell me where the latest front is being pushed?"

"Yes, Your Majesty the King."

"Based on the latest intelligence."

"Old Patriarch Carlo surrounded the city of Tire."

"The Alchemist Legion is attacking."

"But there is strong resistance in the city."

"It's expected to take some time to win."

"On both wings, the attack in the Red River Valley was frustrated."

"But the Beast God's legion seized the opportunity to bypass the frontal defense line."

"Attack from behind."

"The nobles in the Red River Valley have been defeated."

"The defense line has retreated thirty kilometers, and a second line of defense has just been formed."

"And 1/3 of the fertile land in the Red River Valley fell into our hands."

Hear the news.

The king frowned.

"The power of the temple?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"But as agreed."

"All the land is ours."

The king nodded.

"Send orders to the front line, stop chasing them."

"Secure the territory of the Red River Valley first."

"If the temple doesn't give it, you can take action."

"As you command!"

Then the attendant pointed in another direction.

"We intercepted reinforcements from the Rainbow Land."

"Here, a war breaks out."

"At present, the outcome is undecided. We can only suffer casualties on each other."

"But we still have the upper hand."

"At least it's guaranteed that they won't support Tire City."

"So based on intelligence from the front lines."

"We can optimistically estimate that it will take about ten days at the earliest."

"The city of Tire can be won."

The orc king frowned.

"Ten days is too long."

"Tell Lance, who commands the main force."

"The main force is forward."

"The time to capture Tire City has been shortened to five days!"

"As you command, Your Majesty the King."

Here, he has supreme authority that no one can question.

In the eyes of the king, they are just human beings!

But just as the order was given.

There were hurried footsteps outside.

Then the commander of his Guards said in a panic.

"Your Mightiness."

"The manor in Holy Oak Province was attacked by human knights."

"The little prince Elinor has been captured."

Upon hearing the news, the king stood up suddenly.

"What!"

"impossible."

"How could humans have the strength to get in?"

"Information from the front line, we have already~"

Before he could finish his words.

Another person rushed in.

"Report."

"Your Excellency."

"Urgent report from the Holy Oak Province."

"About 2,000 knights of human nobles attacked the territory of His Excellency the Duke of Nova."

"Your Excellency the Duke was exterminated!!!"

"What!"

The Duke of Nova was his father-in-law and the most staunch royalist in the kingdom.

Without the Duke of Nova, the king's confidence in facing many nobles was reduced by half.

He could no longer easily control the nobles in the country as before.

So after hearing the bad news, the king covered his chest directly.

He spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted. (End of this chapter)
