Chapter 968: The plan is successful, the swamp nobles enter the grassland!
"Gero!"
"Your guess is correct."
"These nobles in the swamp really came out to support us!"
The orc lurking on the mountain ridge, covered with thick hair, roared in a low voice.
"Do you want to do it?"
"Eat them all!"
By his side.
He is the orc captain of this ambush team.
"Little Rom, don't forget that our plan is to take over the human nobles' territory in the swamp."
"There are only three hundred people in our team."
"Less than ten have awakened the power of magic crystals."
"Those human farmers look weak though."
"But don't forget those human nobles riding on war horses."
"They are all knights who have awakened the power of magic crystals."
"This knight group, even if placed at the gates of Tyre."
"The Carlo family will also send elite troops to intercept."
"Not to mention us."
"Rushing out like this rashly will only lead to your own death."
After hearing this, the deputy captain named Roma looked at the army passing by the foot of the mountain.
I couldn't help but say with regret.
“Such a great opportunity.”
"Actually!"
"Gero, what a shame."
“It’s such a pity.”
The squad leader beside him watched Sam's army leave.
There was not even the slightest hesitation in my heart.
But soon.
The soldier in charge of reconnaissance came hurriedly to report.
"Your Mightiness."
"There is another human army behind us."
Upon hearing the news, Gro's expression changed.
"Is it a corps transporting supplies?"
"Yes, sir, there are many carts."
After getting the correct answer.
He patted Rom beside him fiercely.
"In the legions of human nobles, those left at the back are often the weakest."
"We can't ambush their main force."
"Then eat their supply corps."
"Without supplies, the main force ahead won't be of much use even if it reaches the city of Tyre."
I heard there was a war.
Roma's originally lost heart immediately became excited.
"where!"
"Wait a moment, we'll be there soon!"
"Just wait until they enter the ambush circle."
"Let's go ahead and eat them!"
"I want to hit ten!"
"Anything works!"
Just as the orc team on the ridge was discussing the time to take action.
now.
Fang Yuan, who was on the march, also received intelligence about the ambushers.
It was the elves who brought the information.
Wearing a hood purchased from Sam's family.
No one could tell that they were elves that had disappeared.
"Your Mightiness."
"There are orcs ambushing ahead."
"There are three hundred of them."
"Their strength is very poor, only two of them have reached the level of primary professionals."
"However, if your supply corps encounters them."
"One wave will disperse them."
No matter how weak the orc warrior is, he will encounter human peasant soldiers.
That means one axe can chop dozens of them.
The few hundred peasant soldiers he attacked were not enough to kill ten orcs.
Not to mention three hundred.
Of course, if Christian and Lilith act together.
These orc ambushes will only turn into sieges.
"Tell Aria."
"Deal with them."
Fang Yuan didn't have the habit of letting his heroes take risks.
Since there are elite troops accompanying us.
Naturally, let them deal with these ambushing orcs.
"As ordered!"
"Rom."
"This time we captured the territory of human nobles."
"The reward we get will at least earn us a pioneer lord."
"We can become noble lords in the future."
In this era, the social system of orcs is comparable to that of humans.
But in addition to nobles, orcs also have tribes.
The orcs of the tribe still believe in gods.
But the orcs under the rule of the nobles are very disgusted with the gods.
In the border areas, basically most of the orcs come from the territories of nobles.
They were freemen.
Through war, one can gain merit and become a pioneering lord.
That’s right, orcs also have pioneer lords.
These orc nobles on the border are the most energetic and ambitious group.
They have strong fighting power.
It is the cornerstone supporting the entire Orc Empire nobility.
When did all the orc nobles on the border disappear?
The Orc Kingdom will be controlled by the Horde again.
This is why the Beast God gained the kingdom's faith.
But the reason why he could never control the Orc Empire.
Previously, the Beast God had also sent his believers to the border to serve as pioneer lords.
Trying to poach the kingdom's nobles.
However, the intensity of the war among the border nobles caused heavy casualties among the Beast God's believers here.
Even the Beast God sent his own legion to assist.
In a place where there are three battles a day.
They all died.
Otherwise, the number of the Beast God’s awakened legions would not be kept at around 100,000 until now.
The reason is here.
"Gro."
"If we become nobles, I will take my father's place."
"I will marry my sister to you. From now on, our territories will be connected and we can support each other."
"Of course, if I win, I will marry your sister."
The orcs may not know this at this time.
Raising a flag before the war begins is an ominous thing.
Just as Roma finished speaking.
In the forest.
Three hundred elves appeared quietly.
Aria looked at the orcs who were staring at the road.
A hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Compared to the orcs encountered in Windbreak Prairie.
Their vigilance is too poor.
There wasn't even any secret sentries outside.
This may be the gap between the times.
After all, the orcs of the Wind's Rest Grassland are a powerful empire that has fought with various races since the racial war began until the glorious era.
"Do it!"
Aria waved her hand.
The bowstring in the hand of the elf behind him vibrated.
A slight "whoosh" sound of breaking through the air was heard.
Gro was staring at the road when he suddenly heard a slight sound.
He frowned.
"what's the situation?"
The moment of turning around.
An arrow went straight through his neck, pinning him to the ground.
Roma, who was standing next to him, saw this scene.
I was stunned.
This is my brother-in-law.
Was just talking.
Surprisingly~
In the moment of distraction, he suddenly opened his mouth.
"Enemy~"
The arrow flew through with a whoosh.
The arrow passed through the back of Rom's neck, and the huge force it carried pushed Rom's huge body several meters away.
It only stopped when it hit Gro's body.
The bodies of the two orcs died on the battlefield in a strange posture.
And behind them.
The orcs targeted by the elven archers suffered the same fate.
A silent arrow pierced through the neck.
In a short moment, three hundred orcs died silently in the mountains and forests.
"Quick, go up and finish off the enemy."
"Don't let anyone go."
Aria is a cautious commander.
After all, we fought against orcs so many times in the Old World.
Know how tenacious the orcs' vitality is.
But this time she discovered.
All the orcs were killed with one arrow.
On the road under the ridge.
The elf soldier who delivered the message quickly came to Fang Yuan.
"Your Mightiness."
"The orcs who ambushed us were completely wiped out."
"In addition, a military order was found on them."
The writing of the orcs of this era is very different from that of later generations.
Even human language has a very ancient grammar.
Even someone as knowledgeable as Lilith was confused by what she heard.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan's lord mark can be easily identified with just one scan.
"It's an order from the Carlo family."
"They are not targeting us."
"It's Sam's family's territory."
"It seems that the orcs have already predicted the movements of the swamp nobles."
"I'm afraid there are orcs trying to intercept us ahead."
Christian heard it.
He said after a moment's silence.
"Your Excellency Lord."
"The orcs are attacking the city of Tyre."
"Logically, we should focus all our efforts on attacking at this time."
"It is absolutely impossible to place the elite troops in other directions."
"But judging from the situation of the ambushed orcs."
"I'm afraid that's not the case."
"The orcs seem to be taking advantage of the siege of Tyre City to kill the supporting legion."
Christian said this.
Fang Yuan immediately thought of a tactic.
"Surround the area for reinforcements!"
"If that's the case, then the swamp nobles ahead are in danger."
Christian asked hurriedly.
"Should we rescue them?"
Fang Yuan thought about it and shook his head.
"No!"
"Our goal is to attract these nobles to go deep into the orcs' territory."
"Now I am powerless."
"It's obviously difficult to get them to follow my instructions."
"It's better to leave them in a desperate situation."
"Force them to turn around."
After saying this, Fang Yuan looked at the elf who delivered the message.
"Go tell Aria."
"Don't throw away the orcs' bodies. Leave them on both sides for camouflage."
"At the same time, leave some archers here to ambush."
"If there are any swamp nobles retreating this way."
"Just attack and don't let them pass!"
"As ordered!"
Just when Fang Yuan was assigning tasks.
now.
The main force of the swamp nobles in front was just as he had guessed.
Encountered interception by elite orcs.
On the road leading to the city of Tyre.
An orc village was built at an unknown time.
at the beginning.
The swamp nobles thought it was the outer defense line of Tyre City.
But when you get close.
Hundreds of Minotaur warriors suddenly emerged from inside.
There are also a large number of orc infantry behind them.
Sudden attack.
The swamp nobles suffered heavy losses.
At least five hundred peasant soldiers died in the battle.
Fortunately, all the swamp nobles are knights.
He acted in time and stopped the orc with brute force.
He led the legion to retreat ten kilometers and set up camp.
"Damn it, why would the orcs intercept us here?"
"It's only half a day's journey from here to Tyre City."
"Could it be that the city of Tyre has been captured?"
"Impossible. If we fall, there will be more than just these orcs to intercept us."
"We were absolutely surrounded and wiped out."
"I guess these are the orcs' reinforcements to block various places."
"It is very likely that all forces will be gathered to storm the city of Tyre."
Hear this.
The swamp nobles suddenly hesitated.
If this is true, then even if they broke through the intercepting orc village.
If you go to Tyre, you will be cannon fodder.
Although the nobles did not take the lives of the peasants and soldiers seriously.
But those were all their own properties, and they were unwilling to participate in a war that would lead to their death.
"Sam, it's only a few days."
"I think we might as well just wait here."
"We are not the only border nobles who want to come to support us."
This suggestion won the hearts of all the nobles.
They all agreed immediately.
After reorganizing the troops, Sir Sam and his nobles camped on the spot and did not continue to provide support.
Not long after, Fang Yuan arrived with a supply corps.
After knowing their plan.
Fang Yuan found Christian.
"Could it be that our previous guess was wrong?"
"Aren't the orcs going to surround the enemy and attack the reinforcements?"
Christian was also very confused.
"It shouldn't be."
"Could it be that the orcs are attacking the city of Tyre with all their might?"
Just when they were in doubt.
A piece of intelligence from Blayney solved their doubts.
Night falls.
The dim camp was filled with the noise of the nobles.
Among the supplies I brought with me, there were also quite a few drinks.
Without a war to fight, the nobles began drinking all night.
There was no worry at all that someone would attack at night.
This made Fang Yuan and Christian feel terrified.
With Lilith, the three of them were extremely alert throughout the night.
Afraid of encountering orcs who would raid the camp.
But it was late at night.
Everyone was fast asleep in the makeshift camp.
Outside the camp, there was only the roar of some wild beasts.
There were no orc night raids at all.
This made Fang Yuan sigh.
This is truly a magical era.
And Christian also sighed.
"Some war poetry I've seen in the Old World."
"It records the period of the first racial war, when various races went to war."
"They are all setting up their positions and inviting the other nobles to fight one-on-one."
"When the nobles win, the war is won."
"Soldiers are all for show."
“It was hard to understand at the time.”
"In this situation now, I'm afraid it will be true."
Fang Yuan also laughed.
But I always feel that this is somewhat impossible.
And just then.
There was a noise outside the door.
"who!"
Christian drew his sword.
Then a familiar figure appeared in the shadows.
"Your Excellency Lord!"
"it's me!"
In a temporary station.
Qingfeng walked in quickly.
"what!"
Fang Yuan was somewhat surprised to see Qing Feng return.
"Why did you come back suddenly?"
"intelligence."
"Lord Brainy's information."
"It's about the war!"
"Brainy said!"
"The orcs are setting a trap."
After saying that, he handed over the information.
After opening it, I quickly glanced at it.
Fang Yuan's face became solemn, and he handed it to Christian.
"Your guess is right."
"It's just about surrounding the point and attacking the reinforcements."
"Wars in this era are not just about stupidity."
After Christian looked at it.
Immediately, there was a sound of admiration.
"What a great plan!"
In the information sent by Blayney.
The orc family Carlo gathered an army of 50,000 and surrounded the city of Tyre.
Then he borrowed another 10,000 soldiers from other families.
Two huge traps were set up on both wings.
Prepare to annihilate the incoming support troops.
Their goal is to take over all of Alpha Kingdom's territories on the border.
Very ambitious.
Therefore, they will wait until the nobles on the border arrive before launching an attack.
This has been confirmed on the other side.
A day ago, more than a thousand border nobles and their legions were completely annihilated by the orcs.
The border nobles in the Red River Highlands were wiped out.
Now the victorious orc army is turning towards the swamp.
We are still on the march.
It is not too early to predict the time for launching an attack.
Because the nobles in the swamp are not strong.
The big fish that the orcs want to eat is the support army from Rainbow Valley.
As long as the border nobles of Rainbow Valley are annihilated.
The city of Tyre became an isolated city.
The Carlo family will then launch a general offensive.
"Your Excellency Lord."
"Where is Rainbow Valley?"
Christian asked.
Fang Yuan didn't know either.
But he wanted to tell the swamp nobles this news.
Because if that really happens, they will be wiped out.
By then, my plan won’t be able to go forward.
"I don't know, but Sam would know."
Fang Yuan found Sam with the information.
"what!"
"you sure?"
Sam jumped up when he saw the information.
"Sure!"
Fang Yuan then took out the enchanted pendant.
"When the alchemist sent me the pendant, he also told me this news."
Looking at the pendant sparkling with magical light, Sam no longer had any reason to disbelieve.
He began to pace anxiously.
"How to do!"
"How to do!"
Fang Yuan then asked.
"When will the nobles from Rainbow Valley arrive?"
Sam shook his head.
"How do I know?"
"That's Richard's family's territory."
“I didn’t even know they were involved.”
Fang Yuan thought for a moment.
"Should we notify them?"
"No!"
"Richard is the royal family, they won't believe us."
"Once they know the news, they will catch us and use us as cannon fodder. The royal family is a bunch of bastards."
After Sam cursed.
Stop suddenly.
"No more fighting, let's go back to the swamp!"
Sam then summoned all the nobles and told them the intelligence.
After realizing that he had entered a huge trap.
The nobles all expressed their intention to retreat.
Fang Yuan looked at Qing Feng and nodded to her.
Qing Feng quietly left and found Aria.
Followed.
On the night of the retreat.
The swamp nobles were ambushed and suffered heavy losses.
The peasant soldiers lost hundreds.
Dozens of nobles died in the battle.
At the same time, he discovered that there were enemies all around him.
For a moment, the swamp nobles were in dire straits.
At this time, Fang Yuan found Sam.
“I have a path.”
“Being able to break out of the encirclement.”
"But we have to go through orc territory."
"It's safe. It's the way I contact the alchemist."
Sam was desperate and had no other choice at this time.
"Efron!"
"Thank you for your generosity."
"If I can leave this time, I will marry my daughter to you."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
He then led the team personally and led the swamp nobles into the orcs' territory.
And at the same time.
Aria also received the latest orders.
"Open the road to the Carlo family city!"
soon.
A bloody massacre began under the cover of night!!! (End of this chapter)
