Chapter 174 Orc deployment, weird trends
"Report, Jinyuan City has been successfully captured, only [-] orc defenders surrendered, and the rest were wiped out."

"The Qingyuan army has no battle damage, the imperial army has killed or injured more than 170 people, and the remaining artillery shells and ammunition consumption..."

Gu Deen, who was sitting in the command room, smiled when he heard the wonderful battle report. He was a little surprised by the battle report of Qingyuan Town.

Although the Qingyuan army will not make a front-line charge, but only assist in the rear, there will also be specific mandatory battle damage data in the simulation.

These include not limited to being accidentally injured by one's own people, being buried by collapsed houses, encountering orcs ambushing guns jammed at corners and other wonderful battle damage.

After all, the director team has to presuppose in the worst direction.

But when it comes to the real battlefield, these mandatory battle losses are not so easy to happen, and the attack method is also very cautious.

Even though the orcs had already made countermeasures in the first place, they had no effect at all under the attack of the joint command. In the end, they could only be engulfed step by step until they surrendered.

For the orcs, this was a lost battle.

"Go and inform the person in charge of the first construction team that they can send someone to Jinyuan City to resume and help with the construction, and then notify Kroger and Old Joseph to come."

"Yes!" After the orderly saluted, he immediately went to inform the mission.

Attacking Jinyuan City will definitely cause a lot of damage. He has already talked to the Lord Bernard about this issue, and promised to help them resume construction work after the war.

In the early stages of his development, Jin Yuancheng still helped him a lot, and Gu Deen still remembers this kindness.

In addition, the construction costs are at most some materials and labor costs, which are not too expensive.

After a while, Kroger and Old Joseph who were notified came to the command room.

Gu Deen simply reported the battle to the two, and they were also very surprised and delighted by the situation.

"Jinyuan City has been taken down now, and the return of the residents of Jinyuan City can also be carried out. After all, the owner of Berna City still has a lot of help to Qingyuan Town. If more than 5000 people can be sent back, I will send them back. How much."

Although the matter of poaching the wall will continue, it is still embarrassing to poach so many people in Jinyuan City at once.

The two had also discussed this matter, so they nodded to express their understanding.

"By the way, young master, apart from the statistics of Jinyuan City, the statistics of other outsiders have been completed."

"More than 8 people have decided to stay in Qingyuan Town. Among the remaining 7 people, 7000 people have made it clear that they will not stay in Qingyuan Town. The rest said they will think about it after the end of the war. .”

Kroger also reported to Gooden the survey that had just been counted.

Hearing this number, Gu Deen still showed a gratified smile on his face. The 8 people seemed to be more than half of the current number, but compared to the previous 4000 people in the entire Qingyuan Town, they wished that one person could be used as three people. , These 8 people are already very many.

Moreover, the joining of a large number of people has had a considerable impact on Qingyuan Town. In terms of salary alone, Gu Deen has already been unable to do what he wants.

Although he earned little before the winter, with the addition of a wave of supplies from the Griffon Legion, there are still a lot of small treasury.

But at least [-]% of the coins that were handed out failed to circulate and were tightly held in their wallets. This had a serious impact on the economy of the entire Qingyuan Town.

If it weren't for the wartime, the exchange of work for rations was used, and if coins were distributed, Gu Deen would have gone bankrupt long ago.

"Those who are willing to stay in Qingyuan Town, give them priority in registration and distribution, and begin to transfer the non-Qingyuan residents in the city to the outer city environment to live in towns."

"Well, we get it."

Kroger nodded slightly, expressing his understanding.

10,000+ people are crowded in the city, and daily maintenance is a headache for them. Migration is inevitable, but the people who migrate must be refugees, not urban residents.

After the assignment was over, the two immediately went to start the arrangement.

In the evening, a construction convoy of [-] people drove to Jinyuan City and transported building materials twice after returning.

At the same time, the news about the fall of Jinyuan City has spread to Orc Chaofan.

In the hall of the Lord's Mansion of Howling Tooth City, the four Chaofans sat silently by the side, and Hadley, who was also the governor of a thousand armies, did not speak either.

The entire attack on the western part of the northern border gave him a headache, not to mention that the war was forced to be brought forward because of Servis' disappearance.

Then the tens of thousands of troops failed to attack the elemental veins, and let the opponent slip away under their noses. What was even more outrageous was a round of counter-bombing with heavy casualties.

And forget about these, 40 troops attacked Qingyuan Town, plus three superhumans, and in the end, 18 orcs ran out, and one superhuman died in battle at the same time.

In addition, he was left with a severed arm by the head of the Griffin Legion when he was evacuating. Although Fu Ji's help has restored a small amputated limb, even if Mengda can recover at this moment, his strength is not as good as before. up.

Of course, if Helisa hadn't severely injured a group of people before, otherwise it would not be possible for the other party to cut off a piece of arm so easily.

Of the six supernatural beings, one was missing and the other was killed in battle in less than two months. Even in the counterattack against the strongest empire, the orcs had never achieved such a record in such an astonishing battle loss.

This has already nailed them to the pillar of shame in history. Unless they can make great achievements on the northern battlefield at this moment, it will be difficult to turn this page of shame in this life or even in the future.

"The city of Jinyuan is not important. Even if Gudeen can have the help of the Griffin Legion, if tens of thousands of orcs are mixed with the civilians of the empire, if they can take Jinyuan City, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses."

Hadley watched as the silent hall opened up to heat up the scene.

"Right now, our goal is to stick to this place. His Majesty is very dissatisfied with the failure of the western offensive. The preparations for more than ten years have all been in vain. Our current task is to launch the next round before the imperial reinforcements have officially launched. Make a choice before attacking, whether to fight or withdraw."

"My suggestion is to withdraw and preserve our strength. The 60 reinforcements and the 20 vanguards are now only 48. There are too many places to be stationed in the cities that have been defeated in the west of the northern border. .”

Goves, who is the presence corner of the orc side, was the first to put forward his own opinion.

In the face of Govez's proposal, Montana raised objections.

"Against the withdrawal, this raid was to catch the empire by surprise. Once the troops are withdrawn, whether we can fight back is another matter. It's just where we retreat? The Yongshuang Mountains?"

Mengda is extremely opposed to the issue of troop withdrawal. Once he withdraws, it means that it will be difficult to fight back. His shame has not faded, and he wants to just run away in despair.

But Fuji and Mivico agreed to withdraw their troops, as Mivico, who had previous experience in frontline combat, said slowly.

"I also agree to withdraw the troops. The reinforcements from the Imperial Army have also arrived. We no longer have the advantage in terms of numbers. In addition to the problem of logistical supplies, we will run out of food if we maintain the supply of 48 troops for at most one month, which is not conducive to long-term confrontation."

Three to one, the result of the discussion was already obvious, Meng Dayou was very helpless about this, the three made a choice to retreat, and he couldn't continue to refute, so he could only silently accept this option.

If two to two were evenly tied, then he would still fight for it, but the most sensible thing right now was to withdraw his troops and temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the imperial army. He wanted to stay and fight because he wanted to wash away the shame in Qingyuan Town.

After deciding on the direction, Hadri, who was the first seat, also made a statement and deployment.

"The withdrawal of troops does not mean that we have given up the opportunity to fight. Looking at the map, the empire has deployed a large number of troops in Yongshuang Duanmai in order to defend us."

"It's difficult for us to break through this line of defense on the front, but what if we can attack from the flanks or force them to deploy troops to defend from the back, in order to reduce the strength of the frontal defense?"

Hadley circled the map, and the four looked at it with thoughtful expressions.

"Howling Tooth City is only less than a thousand kilometers away from Broken Vessel. The army marches at full speed, and it takes less than ten days to arrive. Even if the imperial army behind us discovers our intentions, it will be difficult for them to catch up."

"If we can open up the opportunity in Duanmai, the defeat in the West will be completely worthless. What do you think of this plan?"

Although he is the son of the Beastmaster, he is under a lot of pressure from the current defeat in the Western War. If he just ran away without doing anything, he would not be able to raise his head in front of his brothers and sisters when he returned to China.

Compared with Mengda or other extraordinary, Hadley is more eager for military exploits than any of them, because with military exploits he can obtain more rights and resources, and it is possible to stand out from dozens of brothers and sisters, and finally become the king of beasts throne.

After listening to Hadri's suggestion, the four extraordinary eyes flickered thinking about the feasibility of this plan.

A thousand-mile raid, according to the normal situation, they will definitely be under a lot of pressure, but now thanks to the blessing of the snow season, the behavior of the human army is the same as theirs, and it is difficult to quickly deploy and respond.

If you can make a time difference, raid the empire's heavy fortress in Yongshuang, and give the front line a chance. If you lose the battle in the west, then saving is not worth mentioning.

There are only two directions for the orc army to break into the empire, one is the Eternal Frost Broken Vein, and the other is the Eternal Frost Tail Vein in the barren land.

Yongshuang Broken Vein is a sword that cut off the previously connected Yongshuang Mountains during the battle between a human holy spirit and a legendary demon thousands of years ago.

Hundreds of kilometers of mountains were forcibly cut out a gap three to five kilometers wide, opening up the two places that were separated by the North Peak Frostland and the Beiyuan Barren Land, and the Beiyuan Barren Land is where the orcs live today. place.

After being expelled from the northern border by the Aurea Empire, the empire built thick walls and fortresses at Duanmai, and stationed millions of troops. Defense bucket.

The other tail needs to pass through the barren land. If the orc empire wants to attack the empire through the barren land, it will have to cross hundreds of kilometers of no man's land, and the danger is no less than crossing the Yongshuang Mountains.

This is why each of their attacks will be very laborious, and they have to pay a lot of money.

But now, although there are only 48 people left in their hands, this number may not be enough compared to the millions of defenders with broken veins.

But they only need to hold back the human defenders and fight correctly. Even if it is a defensive battle, humans must mobilize at least two-thirds of their total number to defend.

In this way, for the former, the imperial soldiers can be reduced by 30 to [-], and they can cut off the supply line of the army on the flanks, which can directly kill two birds with one stone.

"If we want to make a surprise attack, we must act as soon as possible. Winter is coming to an end, and the road will become muddy after the snow melts. It is also a problem for human convoys..."

Mivico's eyes flickered, and he gave his opinion.

"What do you think?" Hadley looked at the other three.

"Agreed to act as soon as possible."

"Reconsideration."

Meng Da hesitated for a moment, but nodded slightly in agreement.

The three expressed their opinions, and Hadley did not continue to be idle, and immediately announced the signal that he was preparing to assemble and withdraw the troops.

However, there are a lot of things to prepare for the raid mission of 48 people, and it is not possible to leave on the same day with one word.

But judging from the orc's swift and vigorous actions, the whole army can be dispatched in three days at the latest.

……

Early the next morning, Hogz, the head of the Griffin Legion, bid farewell to Gudn.

"Lord Gooden, the war in the north is tight, and we have other tasks to arrange, and we are about to start. Do you need anything to help before you leave?"

Facing Hogz's words, Gudn shook his head slightly.

"Your Excellency, Legion Chief, it is already a great help if you can come to support and help. Qingyuan Town has passed the crisis now, and other problems will not bother you."

Hearing Gudern's refusal, Hogz nodded slightly and did not continue to ask, but introduced someone to Gudern.

"The Griffin Legion will not all leave. They will leave a team of 100 people here temporarily. They will naturally leave after the western orcs are completely expelled. This is the resident team leader, Godwin. He will be in charge of the management of the [-] people. Task."

"You can ask him for help when you have something to do, and he will contact me to arrange things that he can't handle. This is also His Majesty's will."

After hearing this, the corners of Gudern's eyes twitched imperceptibly.

My cheap old man is worthy of being His Majesty the Empire. I didn't hand over the letter, so I left behind to prevent him from accidents.

Hogz's inquiry just now is probably asking if he forgot something.

Hogz certainly didn't know his identity and content, but his cheap dad must have explained something.

With a smile on his face, Gooden responded with thanks.

"Thank you Your Majesty and the Legion Commander for your concern."

Hogz nodded slightly, without saying anything, and immediately called his subordinates to set off for the next destination.

The scene of nine hundred griffins taking off is very spectacular, plus every sky griffin rider has been trained, even in this seemingly chaotic situation, everyone actually flies according to their own prescribed route of.

The departure of the Griffin Legion did not bring Gudn any trouble or defensive pressure.

After seeing him off, Gooden returned to the research institute and continued to work.

The development and construction tasks of Qingyuan Town have been back on track. As the lord, he no longer needs to worry about and monitor the progress in real time.

Now he can say that apart from coming to the institute to check in every day to help, the rest of the time is hanging up in the castle.

But two days later, Roy suddenly sent Gudn a message about the orcs, which made Gudn temporarily break this comfortable time.

"Master, the orc army on the western front is shrinking in all aspects, and a small group of troops has begun to move to the northeast. This seems to mean giving up the west."

Although Roy was originally an ordinary bodyguard, his experience after taking over the Intelligence Department has greatly improved his sensitivity to intelligence, and he was able to deduce a lot of important information from it.

"Assembly, retreat?"

Gooden repeated these two words, frowned slightly and thought for a while, then got up and took out a map related to the northern border.

"Where are the orcs currently gathering?"

"Howling Tooth City, there are more than 25 imperial troops gathered here, and the rest of the troops are distributed in other cities or towns. At present, many of them are gathering here, and some are directly looking at the northeast."

"Moreover, the informant gave a very important piece of information. The orc army has been collecting a large amount of food in the past few days and has snatched away all the horses in various cities. According to the current analysis information, the orcs should plan to have a long-distance raid. There is a plan, but it is hard to judge whether to withdraw or attack."

Listening to Roy's analysis silently, Gudeen was also running rapidly in his mind. Is it possible that the orc army might have the intention to retreat and move westward?

In the current situation in the west, only his Qingyuan Town and Jinyuan City that he just captured are not in the hands of their orcs, and the other areas are all occupied by orcs within a radius of [-] kilometers.

If the orcs plan to retreat, is it because they want to give up the cities that have already been captured?
While Gudeen was thinking rapidly in his mind, he didn't forget to ask Roy.

"If the orc army retreats, which city is the most suitable for them to defend?"

Roy looked at the map, without thinking, and pointed to a city road 150 kilometers northeast of Jinyuan City.

"Here, the ancient stone city, here is the first batch of cities in the west of the northern border. It is well-defended and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although I don't know how the orcs took it in a short period of time, but if the orcs came to garrison, 10,000+ army Under the protection of , it is not a problem to stick to it for a few months."

Looking at the city on this map, Gudeen felt a little weird, and always felt that something was wrong.

But after Wei Wei thought about it, she still gave Roy a task.

"Continue to monitor the movement of the orc army. In addition, I feel that the orcs should have other intentions. They shouldn't just give up the hundreds of kilometers of urban territory in the west."

"Continue to investigate, continue to report."

"Yes, sir."
