Chapter 724 Arrogant Orc!
Two days later, the headquarters of the Eastern Coalition and Jonas’s office.
Send a gift to Uncle Jonas, whom I haven’t seen for a long time, to express my gratitude for the hard work he has put in during this period of time in helping him deal with the "merit confirmation" matter.
Brand asked curiously about the movements of the orcs:
“If our eastern coalition forces continue to advance like this.
In less than five months, we will successfully reach the highest tidal line of the Endless Sea.
By then, our pioneering war will basically be declared a victory, right?
Didn’t the orcs have any special reaction during this period? "
While tasting the berries sent by Brand, Jonas responded:
"This is the most special situation that our eastern coalition has encountered recently.
That's probably what happened to you when you attacked that large fortress a few days ago. "
Hearing this, Brand was a little stunned.
Before he could think more, Jonas further explained:
"Same as before, The advancement of the various armies of the Eastern Allied Forces was quite smooth.
Although there are a small number of orcs dedicated to sabotaging our logistics.
However, this situation has also eased after our various legions have strengthened the defense capabilities of their logistics transportation teams and strengthened patrols of transportation routes.
In addition, although some legions attacked more recklessly, they did not encounter much troublesome obstacles in the end.
The orcs don't have much intention of fighting to the death, and they start to retreat when the fight reaches the point where nothing can be done.
I have also carefully reviewed your battle process in the past few days.
Except for the sudden appearance of the tauren, other situations are still under our control.
At the same time, there was no change in the orcs in the central and western battlefields.
On the surface, the situation of our eastern coalition is excellent.
As you said, if we continue, we will be able to achieve the expected war goals in a few months. "
Speaking of this, Brand looked at him with a surprised expression.
The old gentleman shook his head and said:
"Although it is a bit strange, it is the fact.
We also sent many scouts to detect the movements of the orcs.
But judging from the results, the orcs did not make any response.< br>
We didn't find much solid defense in the front. It was like the orcs were letting us continue to advance.
In fact, we had some concerns recently, and then all parties did it. A little investigation and speculation.”
While saying this, the old gentleman took out a piece of information and handed it to Brand.
After Brand took it over and started looking at it.
The old gentleman explained:
“This is a little research and speculation about the orc totem by the Imperial Arms Department.
Although it is not completely confirmed, it has a certain degree of reliability.
According to this information, the totem guardianship powers of different totems are mutually exclusive.
So in every battle between us and the orcs, there is only one totem that gives the orc warriors the power of totem protection.
After the members of the Arms Department further studied the totems, they came up with a conjecture:
The number of orcs of different strengths and environmental area that each totem can strengthen is limited. .
The more powerful the totem is, the more orcs it can strengthen, the stronger it is, and the wider the environment it covers.
In addition, the power of totem seems to be able to help orcs grow faster in battle to a certain extent! "
Hearing the words of the old gentleman, he looked at the lines of text in the information in his hand.
After scratching his head, Brand thought about it and said:
"Judging from my experience, since the Battle of the Mountain Fortress, as long as there is a totem, every orc who participates in the battle seems to be strengthened by the protective power of the totem?
If the Ordnance Department’s conjecture is correct, then the orcs have reasonably distributed the totems? ”
Hearing this, the old gentleman quickly shook his head and said:
“We have not found that the orcs deliberately allocate totems. According to the analysis results of various intelligence, the more reliable situation is:
The orcs deliberately controlled the number of participants within the upper limit of the totem's blessing, and the extra orcs did not participate in the battle."
After hearing this statement, I was stunned for a moment.
Brand said with some disbelief:
"If this is the case, what is the meaning of the orcs doing this?
Conserve strength, give up inefficient fighting, and let the orcs grow more efficiently?
In exchange for this, they gave up so much land and forts?
Is it worth it?
You know, in four or five months, we will win the war!
In this little time, even if they grow very fast, how much can they improve?
In contrast, using totems as auxiliary props to stop us from moving forward is what we should do, right? "
After a moment of silence, the old gentleman slowly said:
"This is also what confuses me.
According to our judgment, the orcs have two purposes in this war.
The first is to enhance strength and cultivate strong people through war.
The second is to obtain the benefits of the endless sea.
Judging from the current situation of the Eastern Alliance, although the orcs are indeed continuing to cultivate strong men through fighting, they do not seem to care too much about our continuous advancement. ”
Hearing this, Brand became a little confused.
He knew that the orcs wanted the interests of the Great Sea.
But what about the fact that another war goal of the orcs is to cultivate strong men?
Shouldn’t it be to protect the territory and resist the invasion of invaders like them?
After asking the questions in his heart, the old gentleman slowly explained:
“Brand, you have been in the northern battlefield for a long time.
< br>
You should have a good idea of what the environment is like here.
Because it is close to the snow-covered mountains, and this is the place where the ice element circulation of Farnes Continent passes.
This place is cold, barren, and dangerous, and is simply not suitable for ordinary people to survive!
Although the physical fitness of Orc civilians is generally stronger than our civilians, it is difficult for them to withstand the climate here.
According to the plan, after we occupy this land, we will spend a lot of time transforming it step by step.
Change the terrain, plant magical plants with special effects, build towns, and deploy long-lasting magical means.
By then, some places here will become relatively warm and suitable for human survival.
But the savage orcs cannot do these things that we can do!
Even if some of the powerful tribes can do it, they will not waste this effort!
In their eyes, this cold land has no great value at all!
At first, they might fight to the death for a little persistence.
But after more than two hundred years and war after war, their persistence has long become riddled with holes.
Don’t forget, their women, children, old and young have even moved away from this cold land.
I don’t deny that there must be a small number of orcs who are still persisting.
But for many orcs involved in this war, the reason why they hindered our Northern Expedition is just because they have enough interests!
The war in our eyes, in the eyes of many orcs, is just a 'trial' that can improve their strength and gain benefits from the endless sea! ”
After hearing the old gentleman’s words, he was stunned for a moment.
Brand felt that the orc’s idea was really unique!
At the same time, something happened in his heart. Asked a question:
“Don’t the orcs want to give up the interests of the Endless Sea?
Although it is normal to give up some goals when nothing can be done.
But is it too early for them to give up now?
And if they didn't choose to give up, is there some arrogance in their recent behavior? "
Hearing this, the old gentleman nodded in agreement and said:
" It is indeed a bit arrogant, as if he has a winning ticket! ”
