Chapter 1210 One after another
"Start report."
Roddy looked at the staff officer in military uniform in front of him and nodded to signal the other party to start reporting.
“…According to the information currently obtained, the first beacon was transmitted from the ‘Endao Tower’ located in the Nehemia grassland. The beacon was then passed and then observed at the border intelligence station…”
It has been three and a half hours since the beacon was lit. In terms of the speed of information transmission, the intelligence department established by Roddy can already look down on all the national military organizations on the mainland, but he did not look proud at all. Instead, he frowned and stared at the staff officers, waiting for the following text.
"After the beacon of the Eundao sentry fire rose, the Ars Fortress quickly organized a cavalry team to arrive for support. They had just confirmed that the sentry had been attacked and that no sentry survived..."
After these words, the cabinet members all looked stern.
The Kingdom of Karen did not set up too many troops within the Nehimian grassland, but only established fifteen simple sentry strongholds to warn the orcs. Because the kingdom did not regard the orcs who fled at the time as a major enemy, it did not invest too much money here. It even went deep into the sentry towers inside the grassland before there was time to replace the communication array, and could only use the most primitive beacon to convey the alarm.
At this time, they did not expect that the orcs would actually suddenly rise up and attack the sentry tower.
But in theory... the sentry has a wide field of vision on the sentry tower. If you discover the situation in advance, even if you encounter a wolf cavalry attack, you can have enough time to escape on a horse.
"According to the analysis of the front line on the scene, after the enemy appeared, the soldiers at the sentry tower should have realized that they could not resist. They immediately rode away after igniting the beacon fire, but they were caught up by the enemy after only running out for more than 300 meters... In the end, only three orc corpses were left at the scene."
The staff officer looked down at the paper on his hand and continued: "From the traces at the scene, the opponent should be an orc army with more than a hundred people, and there are about ten wolf cavalrymen - but..."
He paused, "But according to the reports of frontline soldiers, they believed that the size and impression of the wolf were completely different, and the depth and size of the footprints were much larger than that of the normal-sized wolf. And the enemy..."
Seeing the staff member's speechless look, Roddy raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong? Tell me directly."
"After killing the sentinels, the enemy ate them on the spot."
These words made the cabinet present look ugly.
Although the war is cruel, they all know the atrocities of orcs. Before, when the orcs were meat from orcs in the middle of the kingdom, there were tens of thousands of civilians who died. However, the slaughter was slaughtered, and the situation of sharing people on the spot was obviously beyond some bottom line...
This does not mean simple cruelty, but that they have completely lost the characteristics of intelligent creatures and may have become irrational monsters.
"What about other situations?"
"Prime Minister, this is the information I have conveyed so far. The subsequent collection process should be still in the process of collecting..."
"Keep updating at any time, come and report new news."
But as soon as Roddy finished speaking, someone knocked on the door and sent new news: the port in the southern part of the kingdom was attacked by a mutant fishman!
"The mutated fishmen were attacked near the dock, but because of early warning, the defense team on the shore responded effectively, and the fishmen trying to attack the shore were quickly wiped out - but several other fishing villages near the shoreline were all subjected to similar attacks. If you can see black smoke rising, I'm afraid..."
Although the current news is delivered quickly enough, the speed of soldiers' support is really limited - the kingdom currently has no roads, and many blocked areas with far distances may not be known even if they are attacked.
Roddy's direct troops were deployed near the port where the aircraft carrier was built. In the absence of traffic, even if they knew which fishing villages were attacked, it was not realistic to rush along the coastline to support these fishing villages...
In other words, the kingdom has too large a land area, and when encountering such an attack, many places are simply unable to deal with it.
"First of all, ensure safety near the port, immediately start the Kingdom to enter a state of emergency, and inform Soderol and all the staff members of the Army, Air Force, and Navy to come and have a meeting in an hour."
Soderol just returned from Esca half a month ago and should be on vacation now. But now these news is enough to make everyone's holiday end - not only Soderol, but also all research departments, personal laboratories and even factories in the entire city of Hollier will receive similar notices before the evening...
In other words, from now on, the purpose of all these places has turned to one thing in unison: war.
"By the way, I'll inform all newspapers to prepare for the next distribution. The wartime public opinion control measures have been emphasized before. Now whoever does not abide by it will be dismissed immediately."
Roddy knew that there would be such a day, but he didn't expect the enemy to attack from two aspects at the same time - the number of orcs was limited. He didn't think it would cause too much damage, but the "fishman" was a big trouble: no one knew how many fishmans were infected by demons in the sea. If like Rasimman, a guy like "ancient beast" landed again, that wouldn't be a good thing.
"Dada--"
The door of the conference hall was knocked, and Roddy directly asked someone to come in: "Report it now, no need to salute."
"Yes... Prime Minister, I just received news from the eastern border of the kingdom that a mage's magic tower suddenly exploded, and an infected beast attacked the nearby village..."
“Bloom more than one point?”
Roddy turned to look at the Karen Kingdom map that had been set up next to him, and quickly marked the locations of the attacks that had just been reported on it, and found that there were attacks in the northwest, south and east.
The nobles of the cabinet were all a little panicked because at first glance, the enemy was coming in a fierce manner, as if they had surrounded the Kingdom of Karen at once.
After all, strategically speaking, it is stupid to spread troops to all directions to attack - unless they have enough confidence or ensure that their troops have an absolute advantage.
After all, in the eyes of politicians, war is not an end, but a means, and it is enough to concentrate superior forces to make the enemy compromise and achieve your own political goals.
But the enemy at the moment seems to be not acting according to their logical thinking at all, and this "emergency" is coming rapidly and breaks out at almost the same time. Now, it is not clear what the other party is going to do.
"We still know too little about the fishman. Will the enemy's main force come from the sea?"
"Didn't Lassiman have some research on fishmen? We can seek technical help there..."
"Dada--"
The door was knocked again.
