Chapter 981, Surrounded, Desperate March of Orc Vanguards!

On the walls of the city of Tire.

The governor, who was wearing heavy armor, tore off the neck guard at his collar.

Breathing in the blood-smelling air.

Just now!

He no longer knew how many times he had repelled the attacks of the orcs outside the city.

Look around.

All I saw were corpses on the ground.

His stainless steel sword was also full of gaps.

The alchemy necklace worth thousands of gold hanging in front of him was already covered with cracks.

With a slight touch, it shattered into pieces.

If not for the shield of this necklace.

The Governor is already dead.

It blocked at least ten attacks for itself.

Not long ago, a spear stabbed him in the neck, leaning on the alchemy necklace.

He just dodged a bullet.

Holding the pieces in hand.

Governor Tyr thought with some regret.

"I should have bought more if I had known better."

"It's a pity that we don't have this opportunity anymore."

Governor Tyr stood up with his sword in hand.

The guard knight trained by the family has long since disappeared.

All along the city wall, there were not even a few living people to be seen.

He turned around and looked into the city, but support had not arrived yet.

"What a pity."

"The city of Tire will be lost in my hands."

"But I tried my best."

"The orcs are attacking like a tidal wave."

"What I can hold off until now is the limit."

"The next attack will be my death."

And just when Governor Tire was about to die for the city.

Suddenly a voice sounded.

"Back off!"

"Back off!"

The sudden sound made Governor Tyr very confused.

"What retreated?"

"The orcs retreat!"

came a louder voice.

On the originally silent city wall.

Soldiers stood up one after another.

They stuck their heads out and looked outside the city wall.

There!

The originally dense orc army faded away like the tide.

"Retired?"

Governor Tyre looked outside the city, his eyes full of confusion and confusion.

"Why did you suddenly retreat?"

"Could it be that reinforcements have arrived?"

"Squire!"

the Governor shouted.

The soldier with only one leg left in the distance responded.

"Bill is dead."

"The head was smashed by the orc's big axe."

"I can't find him among the dead."

"Who are you?"

"I am Attendant Dodge, Fifth Class."

"Okay, from now on you are my attendant."

"Dodge, I'm the Governor."

"Go and find out immediately if reinforcements have arrived!"

The soldier named Dodge looked at his legs.

"Your Majesty the Governor, there should be nothing I can do to help you."

Then the Governor sighed.

Just prepare yourself to go over and help the other person.

A familiar voice sounded from behind.

"Not reinforcements!"

The Governor turned around and saw that it was Crow, the chief alchemist.

"Crow, you're not dead."

"It was a fluke, I was almost crippled."

Crowe has a bandage on one of his hands.

"I just found the messenger."

"He only had half his body left."

"Tell me before you die."

"The king did not prepare reinforcements at all, and we were all deceived."

"The old king is dying."

"But which prince will succeed has not been decided yet."

"His favorite prince cannot get the support of the nobles of the royal capital."

"The most annoying prince, but he has the support of the local nobles."

"The noble men in the royal capital have split into several factions, each supporting a prince and fighting against each other."

"At the same time, he excludes the prince who is supported by the local nobles."

"All forces are fighting secretly and secretly."

"The so-called 500,000 troops were raised for support, but in fact not a single knight was recruited."

"All the power was used to fight for the throne."

“We were all deceived!!!”

When the border governor heard this, he was stunned.

Soon he thought about his father's death.

"Is it my father too?"

Crow took a deep breath.

"The messenger said it is not impossible."

"The rebellion of the Evil God of Harvest in the Southeast Province did not even come from the outside, but was caused by forces within the kingdom colluding with the Evil God."

"Intended to weaken the local nobility so as to drive out the prince they support in the crown prince dispute."

"The intervention of our border has changed their plans, and may even directly destroy their plans."

"It ultimately led to the accidental death of His Excellency the Duke."

Governor Tyr covered his head, it was difficult for him to accept this fact.

"I~"

After a long time.

Governor Tyr raised his head.

"Your Excellency, thank you."

"This news is critical for our border."

"The orcs have retreated, and I'm afraid they will come back in the future."

"I also want to reorganize the border."

"After you return to the royal capital, say that Border has no intention of participating in any battle for the crown prince."

"I just want to defend the border and resist the orcs."

Crow showed admiration for the governor.

This is the right move.

"That's all for later."

"Your Majesty the Governor, aren't you curious about the reason why the orcs retreated this time?"

Governor Tyr looked at the orc figure retreating outside the city.

Also very confused.

"They only need to attack once more and Tell City can be taken."

"Why did you suddenly retreat?"

"It's the land of rainbows!"

Hearing this, Governor Tyr was slightly startled.

"them?"

Crowe nodded.

"The nobles of the Rainbow Land suddenly launched an attack from the flank and repelled the blocking force of the orcs."

"Triggered the great rout of the orcs."

After listening, Governor Tyr fell into deep thought.

"How many troops will the Rainbow Land send?"

Crowe shook his head.

"But your Excellency should know soon."

"Oh, there is another news. It is rumored that the orcs retreated this time, and there seems to be a more critical reason."

"To the northwest, those pioneering nobles who retreated into the jungle suddenly entered the hinterland of the orcs."

"Kill a large number of orcs one after another."

"I just don't know if this news is true or not."

After Governor Tyre heard this, he suddenly noticed a possibility in his mind.

"perhaps!"

"The retreat of the orcs and the victory of the Rainbow Land may be due to these pioneering nobles who entered the hinterland of the orcs."

"If it is true, then the border will usher in decades of peace!"

Governor Tyr murmured.

Then he looked sharply at Crowe.

"Your Mightiness."

"If that's the case, maybe the border is also a force in the fight for the crown prince."

"I think the Duke of the Rainbow Land is also a royal family."

"I wonder if you are interested!"

Crow bowed slightly.

"Such a great contribution certainly qualifies you to win the reserve fund."

"Then your Excellency the Governor."

"Let me go to the Rainbow Land to contact the Rainbow Duke!"

The governor stood up and turned to Tire City.

"certainly."

"This may open up a new future for us border nobles."

And while they were discussing.

flank.

The Legion of Rainbow Land was intercepting a group of five thousand orc infantry.

"Your Excellency Aria."

"Your news is so timely."

"The orc infantry are blocked in the valley."

"Now we are mobilizing heavy armored cavalry."

"Just waiting for the main force of His Excellency the Duke to arrive."

"These five thousand heavy armored cavalry will be completely wiped out."

After hearing this, Aria just nodded slightly.

Starting from the flank counterattack, Aria led the knights to the front.

The little noble cavalry from the Rainbow Land originally followed him.

They actually won one after another.

It even directly penetrated this orc army.

Turned the tide of battle on the side.

It was this victory that gave Aria a great reputation among these pioneering lords.

Even the Duke of the Rainbow Land is a die-hard, loyal knight of the royal family.

All regard Aria as the goddess of war.

On the battlefield, if you can fight, you are a god.

If you can't win, you are useless, and if you are a loser, you are the original sin.

And their victory quickly reached the ears of the Duke of Rainbow Land.

In order to compete for military glory.

The Duke of Rainbow Land took the initiative to send out all the heavy armored cavalry to fight.

Aria didn't have the slightest grudge against this.

Even other nobles were dissatisfied with this.

Because this will undoubtedly weaken Aria's merits.

At that time, the Duke of Rainbow Land will get the first credit.

But Aria has higher aspirations.

Her purpose is the beast god.

Even the five thousand orc infantry intercepted this time did so on purpose.

If she wants.

Not a single one of the 30,000 troops on the flanks could move.

"Um!"

Aria nodded lightly.

"Then tell His Excellency the Duke."

"Eat them as soon as possible, and Duke Carlo's forward army will follow."

The person in charge of contact was the confidant of the Duke of Rainbow Land, who saw Aria looking so dull.

He also felt relieved.

"I'll go right away."

"His Excellency the Duke said that he will never forget you, nor will he forget the Moulin Rouge."

"After this battle, if you are willing to join the Duke, I will definitely recommend a Count."

"If you don't want to, we will give you a lot of compensation."

"Your lord, Sir Moulin Rouge, will also receive the title of earl."

Aria waved her hand.

"Go ahead and deal with these five thousand people first."

"yes!"

When the Duke of Rainbow Land arrived with his heavy armored legion.

The moment of charging towards the intercepted five thousand orc infantry.

On the other side.

The vanguard of Duke Carlo was fleeing towards the orc territory in embarrassment.

During the retreat, bad news continued to be received.

"Report, Lord Carlo."

"The Temple Legion in the Red River Valley suddenly retreated."

"Our side-shifting legion was exposed to the human nobles."

"There are eight thousand knights and thirty thousand infantry in the Red River Valley."

"Prepare to block our flank retreat route."

"At the critical moment, His Excellency Little Nova personally led 3,000 infantrymen to cut off the rear."

"Fighting to the death for two days, we held back the pursuers in the Red River Valley."

"Buying time for the flanks to retreat."

"But the news just came."

"Your Excellency Xiao Nova personally led three thousand Knights of the Queen, and they all died in the Red River Valley."

"His head was cut off by human nobles and displayed on the flagpole."

Little Nova comes from the orc Nova family.

It is also a legacy of many lifetimes of merit.

But unexpectedly, he died in the Red River Valley.

After Duke Carlo heard this.

There was an angry look in his eyes.

"asshole!"

"Shameless human noble!"

"There are even more shameless temples."

"What is recorded in the ancient books is indeed correct."

"All gods are untrustworthy."

"They all deserve to die!!!"

"Well done, little Nova."

"When I go back, I will definitely take back his head."

"Buried in the Kingdom's Hall of Valor!"

Then Carlo continued to ask.

"Where have the legions in the Red River Valley retreated to now?"

"Returning to your Excellency, I arrived in Andong Province and was stationed at the frontline castle."

Andon Province is the orc border near the Red River Valley.

There are many castles there.

There are tens of thousands of legions stationed here.

The nobles of the Red River Valley themselves suffered heavy losses.

With the protection of the castle, the human nobles did not dare to attack easily.

It's considered safe over there.

"What about the southwest?"

Duke Carlo asked again.

"Over there~"

The liaison officer took a deep breath.

"The Great Rout."

"The latest news is that there are still 5,000 heavy armored infantry blocked."

"Duke Rainbow personally led the reinforcements with heavy armored knights."

"I'm just afraid now~"

"Fortunately, the remaining legions withdrew."

"But Your Excellency."

"After the legions on the flanks left, we became a lone army."

"The human nobles are likely to outflank us from both sides."

"Cut us in."

Duke Carlo was also a veteran on the battlefield.

After hearing this, he said without hesitation.

"Not possible, but inevitable."

"Where's the coach?"

"Can we get reinforcements?"

"It's difficult, the coach has already retreated."

"The human cavalry that raided our borders were brutal."

"The province of Hollyoaks has suffered heavy losses."

"More than tens of thousands of nobles have died."

"The Praetorian Guards cannot stop it."

"So we can only dispatch the coach's army to intercept."

Old Carlo took a deep breath.

The orc kingdom was decayed after all.

Just like the human kingdom.

The existence of nobles can indeed expand territory and maintain strong combat effectiveness.

But as time goes by.

As the nobles begin to decay, their combat effectiveness will decline.

This time he was defeated by surprise.

Maybe it's not a bad thing.

"As long as we can capture this human cavalry, we can still save some face."

"His Majesty the King did the right thing."

But the attendant asked.

"Then how do we leave?"

Old Carlo looked at the map.

There are not many cavalry under his command, most of them are infantry attacking the city.

And because of the siege, many soldiers were injured.

There was absolutely no way Carlo would give up on them.

And marching with them must be slow.

Old Carlo thought for a moment.

"It's not difficult."

"The Rainbow Land is mostly filled with heavy armored cavalry and their marching speed is not fast."

"The army in the Red River Valley has experienced a great war, and there are not many legions that can be mobilized."

"Their interception of us is not impossible to break through."

"And our breakout does not require returning to the royal capital."

"Just get here!"

"Lehman City!"

Here my eldest grandson is stationed.

Once we reach Lehman City, we're safe.

Rely on the city walls and existing fortifications.

There is absolutely no fear of the pursuit of human nobles.

Immediately, old Carlo ordered all nobles to discuss plans.

Not long after, a breakout plan came out.

The cavalry goes first and is the vanguard.

Be the first to attack the intercepting legion.

Then the infantry pressed up.

widen the gap.

Finally, the wounded soldiers and heavy baggage troops followed.

After a successful breakout.

All legions met at Lehman City.

After this battle plan is formulated.

The orc army was divided into three.

Old Carlo was in charge of the infantry.

The forward cavalry began to break away from the main force.

And at the same time.

The five thousand chasing knights from the Red River Valley have arrived.

After learning about Old Carlo's retreat direction.

Decisively cut into the battlefield, intercept their vanguard, and at the same time send a part of the cavalry to intercept the baggage and wounded soldiers in the rear row.

This was used to delay the retreat of old Carlo's legion.

In the southwest direction.

The Duke of Rainbow Land successfully annihilated five thousand heavy armored infantry.

At Aria's suggestion.

He chose to lead the heavily armored legion and pursue them from behind.

And Aria brought the noble knights to intercept them from the front.

at this time!

Old Carlo's vanguard legion was pursued by heavily armored knights behind.

There are Red River Valley and Aria cavalry intercepting them in front.

If you can't attack quickly, the entire army will be annihilated, just before your eyes.

at the same time.

Inside the Moulin Rouge.

Fang Yuan also received battlefield news from various places.

"oh!"

"The siege of Old Carlo's vanguard was completed so quickly."

"It seems that the direction of their breakthrough is Lehman City."

"Is there any news from Christian?"

"Return to your Excellency."

"An hour ago, His Excellency Christian already captured Lehman City."

Hearing this, Fang Yuan's lips curled up slightly.

"The moment when old Carlo rushed to the city with his remaining soldiers and saw his grandson's head hanging out."

"You can imagine how desperate it is."

"Just wait for old Carlo and its vanguard to be wiped out."

"Then we just have to wait for the civil strife in the orc kingdom."

"Somebody come!"

"Go tell Brainy after tonight."

"Just spread the news in the orc kingdom."

"Old Carlo died in battle, and the entire forward army was wiped out!"

"The reason is that the temple wanted to kill people and silence them and deliberately leaked the information."

"yes!"

Fang Yuan walked out of the castle and looked at the bloody sky outside.

"Just wait until the beast god dies!"

"The next step is to take control of the Alpha Kingdom." (End of this chapter)
