Chapter 393: The Final Counterattack
The Orc Empire has been closely probing the dynamics on the continent, and no trace of wind or grass can hide from their ears.
The orcs lurking in the human empire sent back the news that the Holy Dragon City and the elven clan had assembled in Sea Dragon City, and the army was overwhelming the Principality of Hailes.
The battle was fierce, and the Duchy of Hales lost three cities in a row. The situation in the capital Bolivia is urgent, and troops have been requisitioned to cities across the country, and the Cangyan Empire has been asked to send troops to help.
Without waiting for the Cangyan Empire to make a move, the Beast King immediately ordered the Imperial Orc Army's million-strong army to drive to the border, putting on a posture of being ready to go to war at any time, and the beasts were raging on the continent.
Not only the Cangyan Empire, but also the Lemante Empire, the Kabas Empire, and the Charman Empire all got the news and immediately became nervous. They also immediately mobilized their troops to the border to prevent the invasion of the Orc Empire, and at the same time sent envoys to the Orc Empire to reprimand the Beastmaster's actions and order the Orc Empire to withdraw its troops immediately!
Although the four empires are stronger than the orc empire together, 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 strong the army is, it cannot withstand the horror of the natural environment! And the orcs have long adapted to those dangerous environments, and can even use it as capital to fight against the human empire. This is also the reason why they dare to unscrupulously send troops to provoke at the border!
Of course, a provocation is a provocation, and it is unlikely that the troops of the Orc Empire will enter the Human Empire to fight! Both sides have their own geographical advantages, unless the armies of the four empires completely ignore the Orc Empire in the rear and directly march into the Duchy of Hales. Then the Orc Empire will immediately send troops to attack their cities, plundering their supplies and population.
As a result, the orc empire could not advance, and the four empires did not dare to withdraw their troops, so they were heavily garrisoned on the border with each other, and entered the 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 Hells to rescue. Therefore, the emissary of the Duchy of Hales can only be allowed to return with this bad news!
There is no way, although the overall army combat effectiveness of the Orc Empire is not as good as that of the four major human empires, 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, and even faster than humans!
The most powerful countries on the continent, such as the four great empires of mankind, have a total strength of seven or eight hundred thousand at most! Moreover, the main force and reserve troops are all counted among them. The total strength of the four countries is more than three million!
However, the main force sent to the border by the Orc Empire is more than one million, and there are nearly four or five million reserve troops in the rear! Even if the Orc Clan is almost all soldiers, if the front line is really lost, a larger army can be immediately recruited from the people, that is no joke!
The only thing to be thankful for is that the orcs can't produce magicians! Almost all orcs are strong warriors, which is why they have such a terrifying number of armies, but they can't fight against the four great empires of mankind. The damage inflicted on orcs on the battlefield by mages in humans is incalculable!
The emissaries of the Duchy of Hales struggled to rush back to the capital and bring the bad news back to the Archduke of Troy.
However, before he arrived, due to the active performance of General Dolma of the Holy Dragon City, General Owen of the Sea Dragon City, and General Isa of the Elven Forest, General Bitdi, and General Ron, the three-way army quickly defeated Snow Wind City, North Ibaraki City, and Claudia City!
The Principality of Wales' defenders, the 6th-order Great Swordsman Harry, the 8th-Order Marksman Manche, and the 6th-Order Magician Aristo were killed!
Harry was killed by an air bomb, the dignified sixth-order great swordsman was killed alive, and the marksman Manche was killed by a single arrow from General Isa when he was fighting the elven generals. At the same level, it is simply self-defeating to compare archery with the strong elves, and as for the sixth-order magician Arido, it is really a tragic story! When he led his troops to face the besieging army, he used magic to sweep everything away, and the tripartite alliance army was defeated one after another. He greatly demonstrated the majesty of the magician, and let the enemy know how powerful he was. However, in the ensuing counter-offensive against the enemy, the great magician was lured to a minefield by the cunning enemy, and was blown to pieces without knowing it.
Three cities fell, and Bolivia, the capital of the Principality of Hales, was finally blocked from the three most important communication arteries and completely sealed inside!
The armies of other cities in the country have not yet returned, and the envoys to the Cangyan Empire have not returned.
Faced with the enemy troops encircling from three directions, the Grand Duke of Troy finally panicked, and immediately anxious to discuss the countermeasures with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.
Although there were only 1 to 20,000 troops in each direction, and the total strength was only 4 to 50,000 combined! However, the Grand Duke of Troy did not feel that the 100,000 troops in his city could withstand it! Because the previous battles had proved that although the troops of these three coalition forces were not many in number, their combat effectiveness was extremely terrifying!
Especially the elven troops, they can make all opponents desperate with a rain of arrows at a super long range!
Originally, the Grand Duke of Troy thought that the three surrounding cities could block the enemy for at least a week, but who knew that after getting the news from the front, each city was completely breached within a day, and the enemy was simply overwhelmed and could not resist at all!
"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you already know," the Grand Duke of Troy looked at the civil and military ministers, his face was very serious, "the enemy army has already broken through the cities of Snow Wind, North Castle, and Claudia, and is about to encircle Bolivia!
"Don't worry, Grand Duke!" a young general walked out of the crowd, "According to the intelligence, except for the three leading generals of the Elven Clan, the generals in the enemy camp are all 8th order powerhouses, and the generals of the Holy Dragon City and Sea Dragon City are all just low-level existences, but with some unknown weapons, they caught us off guard! Now that we already know that they have these weapons, we can completely avoid making mistakes again!" In my opinion, we can defend the city on the side of the elven army, 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 aerial explosions! As long as we hold back the elven army, and then defeat the troops of the Holy Dragon City and Sea Dragon City, the crisis will be solved! And then the reinforcements from the surrounding cities arrive, which can cause encirclement and suppression of the elven troops, and lay the final victory!"
"Okay!!" Hearing this, the Grand Duke of Troy was suddenly shocked, "General Ressako, I order you to take full charge of this defensive battle!"
"Thank you, Grand Duke!" said Ressa, "but before I go on the expedition, I have a request!"
"Please!" the Grand Duke of Troy is now grasping a lifesaver, and of course he will not let it go.
"Please give me the right to recruit any generals and private soldiers in the city!" Resako said loudly, "I'm afraid that the current army of 100,000 is not enough, if you can recruit private soldiers and retired veterans, and let them attack as the vanguard, I believe that we will be able to turn defeat into victory and annihilate all enemies in one fell swoop!"
