Orc Kingdom.
Saint-Pierre department.
This is the territory where the orc nobles approach the border.
All this time, every battle with the Alpha Kingdom.
The Saint-Pierre department will become a distribution center for supplies.
Countless pioneer knights completed the transit here with their population and resources.
Then head to the border area.
This is also the reason.
To protect against the Alpha Kingdom.
A large number of fixed guard towers were built on the border of the Saint-Pierre department.
Along the guard tower, there are also patrolling regiments.
And behind the guard tower.
There are also large and small forts scattered around.
Once an enemy invasion is discovered, the soldiers stationed in these fortresses will provide support as quickly as possible.
However, the orc king raised an army of half a million people and marched south.
A lot of patrol regiments and watchtower guards in the Saint-Pierre Province were also recruited.
They serve as a second-line auxiliary corps.
Help the army transport supplies.
And after being transferred.
This line of defense began to show holes.
It just gave the legion led by Guderian a chance.
"The news just detected."
"There are less than ten guards at the fixed post closest to us."
"A patrol regiment has just left."
"The next patrol group will not arrive until tomorrow."
"We have a whole day to get over the line calmly."
"Enter the heart of the orcs."
Assis, who was sent to help, recounted the latest information.
Guderian looked at the clear map on the ground.
There was admiration in his eyes.
Assis deserves to be from a regular legion.
Just working on the map is beyond what I can do.
"How long is one day?"
"More than half of the orc patrols along the line have been mobilized."
"Originally, there were three alternating patrols."
Guderian nodded.
Then he said to the knight behind him.
"Let Hagen bring his subordinates."
"Climb over the outer wall of the sentry tower and deal with the defenders inside."
"Tell Bree to divide the troops immediately."
"All knights assemble."
"The infantry is handed over to the commander Assis."
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Because of previous excellent results.
A large number of noble young people gathered around Guderian.
After getting Fang Yuan's order.
Guderian decisively took part of them into the northwest forest.
Then with strong force, he subdued the pioneer knights who retreated into the mountains and forests.
Along the way, they led them to continuously attack the orc supply lines.
After days of grinding and constant wins.
Guderian erected absolute authority.
Even the most unruly pioneer lord was still obeying his orders at this time.
As soon as the order is issued.
The nobles spontaneously gathered around Guderian with their most elite knights.
"The number of infantry separated is five thousand."
"The total number of our cavalry is three thousand."
The young knight named Bree said with reverence.
Bree was originally a pioneering aristocrat in the Rainbow Territory.
During the attack on the Tire City caravan.
See Guderian's madness with your own eyes.
From then on, he decided that this was the noble he followed.
He directly gave up the Rainbow Territory in exchange for a barren territory.
He followed Guderian with fifty knights.
Now one of Guderian's most trusted knights.
"I don't want it for the old and the weak, and I don't want it if the horse is not fast."
"No one with only one horse."
"Abandon all baggage, abandon all heavy armor and lances."
"I only need to carry three days of dry food, wear chain armor, and only carry a knight's sword."
Guderian quickly ordered.
And this order made Brie couldn't help but be surprised.
"Your Excellency."
"Our combat effectiveness has dropped by at least 2/3!"
Guderian chuckled.
"We are about to go deep into the enemy's heartland."
"Throw away some defense and offense in exchange for strong mobility."
"It will allow us to survive the next war."
"Don't ask any questions, just do it."
"Yes!"
Not long after, the number of knights after reintegration was only 1,200.
"Assis!"
‘I will leave these cavalry and infantry to you. ’
"A total of 6,800 people."
"My requirements are not high."
"Here, guard our retreat channel."
"As long as we can do it."
"I can return in five days at most!"
Assis knew what he was talking about.
"Don't worry."
"As long as I am here, this retreat channel will still exist."
Guderian nodded.
He trusted Assis as much as he trusted Fang Yuan.
Then he stopped talking nonsense and waited for the good news from the sentry tower.
The person responsible for attacking the watchtower fortress was a knight named Hagen.
Unlike Brie.
Hagen was born a commoner and was once a slave of the Alpha Kingdom.
Follow the lord to the north to develop.
Later, he killed the lord and inherited everything from the other party.
And he also successfully awakened the magic crystal.
Became an intermediate magic crystal warrior.
Later, he gained a lot of meritorious service in several territorial expansions.
At this time, everyone knew that Hagen was not the legitimate heir to the title.
In the end, I could only hold my nose and admit it.
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 and 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 that the losses were considerable."
"What, these guys who believe in God, don't they claim to be strong in battle, capable of one being as good as ten?"
"Hey, 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 is precisely through the hard work of this alliance that we fight."
"Only can we stop the attack of the Temple Legion."
"Ten bishops were killed in one day."
"So many?"
"What do you think? The offensive and defensive battle over there is very brutal."
"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 infiltrated everywhere."
"We just want to support our family, there is 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 His Excellency Guderian immediately."
"Mission accomplished, safe, can pass."
"Yes!"
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.
"Come here!"
"Deploy five hundred knights to attack the guard tower and patrol in the north."
"Attract the enemy's attention along this line of defense."
"Yes!"
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 aristocratic, the most significant change was that they learned to farm.
This is the time to sow.
Orc slaves, large 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 guys, you are not 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 base 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 waved 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 counter-insurgency 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 Excellency."
"Ahead is the orc king's manor."
"I just found out the latest information."
"The youngest son of the Orc King is vacationing there."
Hear the news.
Guderian showed a sinister smile.
"Send 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.
In order to expand the power of the nobles.
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.
"The Attendant."
"Tell me where the latest front is being pushed?"
"Yes, Your Majesty the King."
"Based on the latest intelligence."
"The old patriarch of Carlo surrounded the city of Tire."
"The Alchemist Legion is onslaught."
"But there is strong resistance in the city."
"It is expected to take some time to win."
"On both wings, the attack in the Red River Valley was frustrated."
"But the Legion of the Beast God 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 the 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.
"Command the front line, stop chasing and killing."
"First secure the territory of the Red River Valley."
"If the temple doesn't give it, you can take action."
"Yes!"
Then the attendant pointed in another direction.
"We intercepted reinforcements from the Rainbow Land."
"Here, the war breaks out."
"At present, the outcome is uncertain. We can only suffer casualties on each other."
“But we still have the advantage.”
"At least it guarantees that they will not support Tire City."
"So based on intelligence from the front line."
"We can optimistically estimate that the fastest is about ten days."
"The city of Tire can be taken."
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 the city of Tire 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 Excellency."
"The manor in Holy Oak Province was attacked by human knights."
"The little prince Elinor has been captured."
Upon hearing this news, the king stood up suddenly.
"What!"
"Impossible."
"How can humans still have the strength to get in."
"We have all the information from the frontline~"
The words haven't been spoken yet.
Someone else hurried in.
"Report."
"Your Excellency."
"Hollyoak Provincial Emergency Report."
"About two thousand knights of human nobles attacked the territory of His Excellency the Duke of Nova."
"His Excellency the Duke was exterminated!!!"
"What!"
Duke Nova is his father-in-law, and he is also the most die-hard royalist in the kingdom.
Without Duke Nova, the king's confidence in facing many nobles would be reduced by half.
It is no longer possible to easily control the nobles in the country as before.
So after hearing the bad news, the king directly covered his chest. A mouthful of blood spurted out and he passed out. (End of chapter)
