After a day of fierce and bloody fighting, about 200,000 orc warriors were annihilated by the defenders of the fortress, and the remaining 600,000 orc warriors were all stationed in the four small fortresses they had newly occupied.

Looking at the defensive fortress built by the empire that had spent countless time, manpower, material, and wealth, occupied by the barbaric orc army, Bai Feng's heart was a little difficult to accept, let alone López, Ranocchia and others who had fought for the empire all their lives.

The Marquis of Rundstead is a civilian commander who has done his best for the Empire, and the Iron and Blood Five Tigers he has personally cultivated will naturally not be disloyal and unjust, and the inner pain of López and Ranocchia, who regard responsibility as their highest mission, cannot be described in words.

And this is what Bai Feng admires most about them, because in today's battle, the performance of the battle group can be called the best of all the defenders, and López and Ranocchia, as combat commanders, are the most worthy to be proud of.

Although Ranocchia did not lead his soldiers to fight with the orc army like López, everyone knew that if it weren't for Bai Feng's special order, the performance of Ranocchia and the Predator Guard would definitely not be worse than López and the Assault Wing!

Even so, whether it was López, who had fought hard for a day and inflicted heavy losses on the army of the orcs, or Ranocchia, who led his army to hold the rear of the fortress for a day, there was no joy of victory on their faces, only worry about the situation of the battle and sadness for the fall of the four fortresses.

Bai Feng was not a native of the Celestial Dragon Empire after all, he would never understand the status of the Sunset Fortress in the hearts of the people of the Celestial Dragon Empire, especially the soldiers of the Celestial Dragon Empire;

Bai Feng, who loves his nation and country very much, can understand them with another analogy: if Bai Feng, as the general of the defenders of the Great Wall, leads the army to resist foreign invasion on the Great Wall, and finally witnesses the capture of the Great Wall by foreign troops;

López, who stayed in the barracks with the assault wing to rest, and Ranocchia, who led the Iron Guards into the fortress, all of them couldn't help but show a look of grief on their faces, and Bai Feng in his eyes wanted to comfort them but didn't know what to say.

It was not a long night, Bai Feng, who was not sleepy, practiced his spiritual power in the military tent for a whole night, and the next morning, he took Bai Yi and Bai Er to re-enter the fortress to inspect the soldiers guarding the fortress and investigate their mental state.

The officers and men of the Iron Guards and the Reserve Force are to take on the heavy responsibility of defending the fortress and the city walls today, and the Assault Wing and the Special Operations Wing (formerly the Seventh Wing), which have rested overnight, are responsible for arming the left and rear of the fortress.

No one knew what kind of new offensive the orc army that had captured four fortresses in succession would take, and the twelfth fortress where the battle cluster was located was the eleventh fortress that had been captured by the orc army on its left, and Bai Feng had to make some precautions in advance.

The Marquis of Rundstead, who was the commander of the army in this area, arranged for General Bella, one of the five iron-blooded generals, to lead 30,000 city defense troops to garrison directly behind the 11th fortress, followed by 50,000 troops led by D'Ambrosio.

There is no doubt about the abilities of General Bella and General D'Ambrosio, but it is completely impossible for the army under their command to block the onslaught of the orc army, because in the field battle above the flat ground, it is impossible for the human army to defeat the orc army!

In fact, the Marquis of Rundstead himself understood that if the 80,000 troops he sent out were really attacked by the orc army, even if the soldiers of the city defense army fought desperately until the last moment, they would not be able to withstand the attack of more than 30,000 orc army.

It's just that whether or not he can resist the attack of the orc army is one thing, and whether or not to send a large army to block it is another matter; the Marquis of Rundstead, who was forced to do so, had to make such a choice in the face of the current crisis.

Sending his 80,000 soldiers to their deaths was a painful affair for the Marquis of Rundsteadt, who loved his soldiers like a son, but in order to defend the precarious Sunset Fortress, the Marquis of Rundstead had to make a seemingly cold-blooded decision.

However, Bai Feng did not trust the combat effectiveness of the city defense army, and he would rather send a special operations team with only 6,000 soldiers under his command than hand over his flank to 80,000 city defense troops; this was a war that Bai Feng could not afford to lose, and he could not show many hole cards.

The elite cavalry of the pro-guard team can be regarded as the last breakthrough force in Bai Feng's hands, and in addition, the other regular troops, once they lose the fortress and city wall as a support when facing the attack of the orc army, can play an extremely limited role.

More than two hundred years ago, the reason why the Celestial Dragon Empire, which was at its peak, was able to block the invading army of the Orc Empire to the east of the Sunset Mountain Range without the Sunset Fortress, relied on absolute numerical superiority and the cooperation of countless magicians.

For more than 200 years, the Celestial Dragon Empire, which relied on Sunset Fortress, gradually relaxed its defense of the Orc Empire, and the number of standing legions stationed in Sunset Fortress became smaller and smaller, and the mages who cooperated with the defense withdrew, leaving only a few tens of thousands of soldiers behind.

This time, the Orc Empire's offensive was too ferocious, and the Celestial Dragon Empire, which had been peaceful for a long time, successively transferred a large number of reinforcements for reinforcements, but the defensive force that had been slowly lost for more than two hundred years could not be replenished in a few months.

The soldiers who reinforced the Sunset Fortress were equipped with weapons and equipment far inferior to those used by their ancestors two hundred years ago, and there were only a handful of magicians who could cooperate with them to resist the attack of the orcs.

Bai Feng, who was worried about the flanks, did not stay on the rock-solid fortress and city wall, but took the elite of the personal guards to the left flank of the fortress deployed by the special operations wing;

For some reason, the orc army that had been stationed in the fortress last night did not continue to attack while the iron was hot, on the contrary, they continued to withdraw from the fortress and return to the military camp where they had been stationed earlier, as if they did not intend to take the Sunset Fortress.

In the whole morning, about 100,000 orc warriors withdrew from the 11th fortress alone, leaving only more than 50,000 orc warriors to stay in the fortress, and the situation of the other three fallen fortresses was basically similar to the 11th fortress.

Bai Feng, who really couldn't figure out the routine of the orc army, on the one hand, let the soldiers under his command strengthen their vigilance, and on the other hand, he hurried back to Rome City and transferred troops from the systematic army of Rome City to strengthen the strength of the personal guards.

Six teams of Spartan heavy infantry, four teams of Macedonian royal pikemen, and ten teams of iron artillery spearmen, Bai Feng, who couldn't hide his strength, transferred nearly 3,000 system elites at one time;
