Chapter 393 The Final Counterattack
The Orc Empire has been closely monitoring the developments on the mainland, and any slightest disturbance can't be hidden from their ears.
The half-orcs lurking in the human empire sent back news that the holy dragon city and the elves gathered in the sea dragon city, and the army suppressed the Principality of Hales.
The battle was fierce, and the Principality of Hales lost three cities in a row. The capital, Bolivia, is in an emergency situation. Troops have been recruited to cities across the country, and the Cangyan Empire has been requested to send troops for assistance.
Without waiting for the Cangyan Empire to make a move, the Beastmaster immediately ordered the empire's orc army of one million to march to the border, assuming that they were ready to go to war at any time, and the beasts ravaged the mainland.
Not only the Cangyan Empire, but also the Remante Empire, the Kabbath Empire, and the Charlemagne Empire all got the news, and they became very nervous. They also immediately mobilized troops to the border to prevent the invasion of the Beastman Empire, and at the same time sent envoys to the Beastman Empire to reprimand the Beast King's behavior and ordered the Beastman Empire to withdraw immediately!
Although the four great empires are stronger than the Orc Empire, as long as the army of the Orc Empire does not cross the border, they will not dare to attack! Because within the borders of the Orc Empire, no matter how powerful the army is, it can't withstand the horror of the natural environment! The orcs have long adapted to those dangerous environments, and can even use them as capital to fight against the human empire. This is why they dare to send troops to the border to provoke unscrupulously!
Of course, provocations are provocations, and it is impossible for the troops of the orc empire to enter the human empire to fight! Each of the two sides has a geographical advantage, unless the armies of the four empires completely ignore the orc empire's rear and directly enter the Principality of Hales. Then the Orc Empire will immediately send troops to attack their cities and plunder their supplies and population.
As a result, the Orc Empire was unable to march, and the four major empires did not dare to withdraw their troops. They stationed heavily on the border with each other and entered a stage of confrontation.
The king of the Cangyan Empire could not ignore the army of the Orc Empire, and did not dare to pull the main force back from the border and send it to the Principality of Hales for rescue. Therefore, the envoy of the Principality of Hailes can only return with this bad news!
There is no way, although the overall combat effectiveness of the Orc Empire's army is not as good as the four major human empires, but the number is so huge that it makes people feel terrifying! The fertility of the orcs is not inferior to that of humans at all, even faster than humans!
The most powerful country on the mainland, like the four great empires of mankind, has a total military strength of seven to eight hundred thousand at most! Moreover, both the main force and the reserve force are included. The total military strength of the four countries is about three million!
But the main force of the Orc Empire sent to the border is more than one million, and there are nearly four to five million reserve troops in the rear! Even almost all the people of the orc clan are soldiers. If the front line is really defeated, a larger army can be recruited from the people immediately. That's no joke!
The only good thing is that,
The orc family can't produce a magician! Almost all orcs are powerful warriors, which is why they have such a terrifying number of troops, but they have no way to fight against the four human empires. The damage done to orcs by human magicians on the battlefield is incalculable!
The envoys of the Principality of Hales tried their best to rush back to the capital and bring the bad news back to the Grand Duke of Troy.
But before he arrived, because of the active performances of General Dolma of Holy Dragon City, General Owen of Sea Dragon City, General Isa of Elven Forest, General Bietedy, and General Ron, the three-way army quickly broke through Xuefeng City and Beibaraki City. And Claucia City!
The 6th-rank great swordsman Hari, the 8th-rank sharpshooter Manche, and the 6th-rank magician Arido were all killed in battle!
Harry died from an air bomb, and the majestic seventh-rank swordsman was killed alive; when the sharpshooter Manche was singled out with the elf general, although he shot and wounded General Isa, he was also killed by General Isa with an arrow. Comparing archery with the strong elves of the same level, it is a dead end; as for Arido, the sixth-level magician, it is really a tragic story! When he led his troops to face the siege army, he swept away everything with magic, and defeated the three-party coalition forces. Greatly demonstrated the majesty of the magician! Let the enemy know how powerful he is. It's just that in the ensuing counterattack against the enemy, this great magician was lured into a minefield by the cunning enemy, and was blown to pieces alive without knowing it.
The three cities fell, and Bolivia, the capital of the Principality of Hales, was finally blocked by the three most important traffic arteries, completely sealed inside!
The armies from other cities in the country have not returned to aid, and the envoys to the Cangyan Empire have not returned either.
Facing the enemy troops besieged from three directions, the Grand Duke of Troy finally panicked, and immediately asked the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to discuss countermeasures.
Although there are only 10,000 to 20,000 troops in each direction, the combined force is only 40,000 to 50,000 troops! But the Grand Duke of Troy didn't think that the 100,000 troops in his city could resist it! Because the previous battles have proved that although the troops of the three-party coalition forces are small in number, their combat effectiveness is extremely terrifying!
Especially the troops of the elves, they can use the ultra-long-range arrow rain to make all opponents feel desperate!
Originally, the Grand Duke of Troy thought that the three surrounding cities could stop the enemy for at least a week. Who knew that after receiving the news from the front line, each city was completely breached within a day, and the enemy was so overwhelming that it was impossible to resist!
"Everyone, I believe you already know," the Grand Duke of Troy faced the civil and military officials with a very serious expression, "The enemy has already broken through the city of Xuefeng, Kita Ibaraki, and Claucia, and they are about to encircle Bolivia! In such a situation, the reinforcements may not arrive in time, how should we deal with it?"
"My lord, don't worry!" A young general walked out of the crowd, "According to intelligence, the three leading generals in the enemy's camp, except for the elves, are all powerhouses of the 8th rank. The generals of Sacred Dragon City and Sea Dragon City are nothing but The existence of low strength, just relying on some unknown weapons, caught us by surprise! Now that we already know that they have these weapons, we can completely avoid making mistakes! In my opinion, we can garrison heavily in the elf army Defense against the city, no matter how strong they are, as long as we don't attack and build more fortresses, we can barely cope with the tactics of bombing in the air! Just hold back the army of the elves, and then defeat the troops of Holy Dragon City and Sea Dragon City , The crisis will be resolved by itself! And then the reinforcements from the surrounding cities will arrive, which will be able to encircle and suppress the elves' troops and establish the final victory!"
"Okay!" Hearing this, the Grand Duke of Troy was shocked, "General Resako, I order you to take full charge of this defensive battle!"
"Thank you, Grand Duke!" Lesa's eyes showed joy, "But before going out, I have a request!"
"Please speak!" The Grand Duke of Troy is grasping at the straw now, and of course he will not let it go.
"Please grant me the right to recruit any generals and private soldiers in the city!" Resako said loudly, "The current 100,000 troops may not be enough. If private soldiers and retired veterans can be recruited, let them attack as forwards , I believe that we will be able to turn defeat into victory and annihilate all enemies in one fell swoop!"
