Chapter 54 The war starts again
The high priest looked at the dark and solemn army behind him and sighed in his heart that the only force on the road that is not controlled by the empire and temple is the only force on the road, and the mercenaries are the most powerful. However, the organization of the mercenary guild is not particularly strict. As long as money is given, the mercenaries will take money and eliminate disasters. If you want to temporarily control the mercenary's power, as long as the money is given, there is basically no problem.
Before the Battle of Fengmingshan, the senior officials of the Kotler Empire received news that although the slave transactions were controlled by major mercenaries on the surface, even the imperial power classes of the three empires only gained less than three points, and the rest were controlled by the temple.
The Pota Empire and the Gary Empire are just two small vassal states, but these two small states compromised with the Orc Empire and no longer entered the orc forest to capture orcs. As soon as the head was opened, the temple of the highest beneficiaries behind the slave trader was the victim.
The Crazy Blood Mercenary Group was greatly damaged in the previous battle of Fengmingshan, and each of the other mercenary groups was damaged. For a long time, the Crazy Blood Mercenary Group was engaged in slave hunting for the temple of the Kotler Empire and is well known to everyone in the Human Empire. Now that the Crazy Blood Mercenary Group is beaten like this, the slave business of the Temple will naturally suffer certain damage.
In fact, in terms of losses, even if all the Crazy Blood Mercenary Group was destroyed, it would not cause any damage to the temple's slave business. The temple saw the impact of Fengmingshan's battle, and the orc empire actively exposed its power. The temple did not know what the intention was behind it.
In order to make each empire stop selling orc slaves? Who can believe such an excuse? Then the intention of the orc empire is worth pondering, but the slave business cannot be stopped, so the temple has no action on the surface, but it has begun to pay a lot of money to explore the reality of the orc empire.
This time, the temple hired a large mercenary group on the Fury continent, the Double-Headed Dragon Mercenary Group, and the high price caused the Double-Headed Dragon Mercenary Group to dispatch 10,000 black armored cavalry. With the scattered infantry and other troops, the Double-Headed Dragon Mercenary Group alone had a force of 50,000. In addition to the other mercenary groups employed by the Temple, the number of the new coalition troops this time exceeded 100,000.
"Didn't it mean that other countries will send troops here?" The thin figure was the deputy commander of the Double-Headed Dragon Mercenary Group, the commander of the Black Armored Cavalry, and the commander of the coalition forces this time.
"The Pota Empire was scared, and the 30,000 troops they sent were our logistics forces. After the victory, there was no oil or water for them." The old man, known as the High Priest, said that this was a temple sacrifice in a province in the Kotler Empire. He held power in the temple of the province, and actually did not have a very high status.
After hearing this, the commander sneered and said, "Just them? The losers are always losers. Even if I am protecting logistics, I will not feel at ease. So I will be a grain transport team for me!" After that, he waved to a subordinate and said, "Send five 100-man teams to me and enter the Orc Forest to reconnaise, with a range of three miles."
"Sanli?" The subordinate was stunned, not knowing what the commander meant.
"Yes, Sanli, keep the information open, I want to do pre-war attack reconnaissance." After the commander glanced at it, the subordinate hurriedly said that he was jogging all the way to assign tasks. The high priest stroked his gray beard and said, "Why not attack directly?"
"Direct attack? We don't even know the information of the other party. This kind of battle is naturally good, otherwise the divine pit in front of us will be our end. However, the orc empire actually covers the necromancer, and this is a very slap!" After saying that, the commander turned around and left. Although the old man called the high priest was so angry that he jumped, he really didn't dare to act rashly in front of this man.
The high priest of the large mercenary group knew a lot and would not take it seriously. However, this double-headed dragon mercenary group was indeed hired by the Kotler Empire Grand Temple, and this commander was also appointed by the priest of the Grand Temple himself. Naturally, the commander's arrogant attitude is reasonable.
In the orc forest, on an unknown hill.
The busy orcs were shuttled back and forth in a command post that was obviously just established, and from time to time the commanders sounded the commanders. Behind the command post was a large three-person tent. Unlike the noise outside, the convertible was very quiet. Apart from the few discussions, there was basically no other sound.
"Everyone, this time I'm not here, I've come here. You've read all the information about the Double-Headed Dragon Mercenary Group, and talk about it." A werewolf with red spots on his face stood on the sand table and said, and several orc staff members pointing on the sand table nodded, saying, "Aren't the tall taurens holding a document in their hands and said to the werewolf: "The latest battle report, vague face, come and take a look!"
Huabing took the battle report handed over by the Tauren, and then browsed it briefly and passed it down. After reading it, several staff officers looked cautious. Huabing looked up and asked, "Tushan, tell me."
"Yes, according to the report sent by our scouts, the other party is different from the previous coalition forces. The phalanx is neat and disciplined. The other party sent several scoped reconnaissance teams and is familiar with the battlefield. He is a cautious commander. This battle will not be as easy as before. The commander of the former army asked us if we were to fight." Tushan drew out the reconnaissance range with his hand.
"It's only three miles away? The cavalry accelerated at this distance. Does the opponent want to fight a positional war?"
"From the perspective of the troops, the main troops of the opponent are infantry, so they should want to fight position wars, right?"
Several staff members discussed it again, Huabing also stroked his face with his hands and pondered. Seeing that the discussion began to grow louder, Huabing coughed and said, "Tell the commander of the former army, don't act rashly for the time being, but it's okay to add some materials to the other party at night, and it's up to you not to exchange for your life!"
"General, how should we fight this battle?" A staff officer asked as he saw the messenger leave the tent and turned his head to look at the face.
Huaying pursed her lips and said without saying anything. Tushan took the speech and said, "Look at the other party's reaction first. Have your troops all assembled now?"
"Except for the 10,000 light infantry of the front army, the rest of the troops are on the way here, and they should be able to reach the designated position tomorrow."
A staff officer in charge of mobilizing troops responded: "This time the human coalition came suddenly, and I didn't expect them to come to Fengming Mountain again. We were not prepared enough, so..."
Huaying waved her hand to stop him and said, "This is not a reason. You are on the border of the empire and have insufficient expectations for the enemy. It is even more hateful to find a reason to shirk it. People come out and twenty military sticks." As soon as he finished speaking, two guards outside the tent came in and held the eagle man out, pulled it out of the tent, and then hit it directly outside the tent.
The sound of the military sticks rising and falling mixed with the sound of this sound came into the tent, and the faces of several staff officers became a little ugly.
"Okay, let's see what our opponent wants to do."
Huaying pointed out the opponent's position, and then gave a comment on the temporary distribution of the opponent's troops and forces. After all, the beaten staff officer also held his butt into the tent. The staff officer in the open hood gave him a place. Huaying looked up at him, and the staff officer bowed his head in awe and said nothing.
"Has the news been sent to the Imperial City?" asked Huaying, and another adviser responded: "The message has been sent with the Demon Falcon. Now the news should have been received in the Imperial City, and there has not been a reply yet."
"Oh, so I don't know how that guy Fengya is doing now, I don't know if the second child is ready!" After saying that, he looked at the staff members with red faces in the tent and suddenly woke up. After coughing seriously, he said, "Give me seriousness, this is the battlefield!"
The staff members still nodded with laughter. After Tushan smiled silently, he also said with a stern face: "We cannot be careless. This battle is the first battle to fight the elite human troops. You cannot be careless. You don't have to be afraid of making mistakes, but you must correct them when you know the mistakes. Sometimes, war is not about who is smarter or better able to calculate, but about who is stupider. So I order you to take it seriously and take it seriously!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Since the other party did not launch an attack immediately, our army would have time to assemble. The other party did not know that our reality was our advantage, and the other party did not know that the terrain in the orc forest was also our advantage. Since the other party came to Fengming Mountain again, he must have doubts because he saw the bone burial pit left by the God Envoy, which was also a favor for the God Envoy to do us." Huaying explained the situation in front of him without any haste, and the staff officers nodded.
"The other party has given us time, so it's time for us to give us space next."
The staff members present looked at each other and didn't understand what Huabang meant. Instead, Tushan, who had always been with Huabang, understood it first.
"You want to put the other person in?"
Huaying nodded and said, "This is the first time to fight against the elite troops of the human race. You can't be careless, so I think it's necessary to slowly put the opponent in, test the opponent's combat power, and then decide how to fight. In addition, the troops on the second line have never really experienced war. The God Envoy once said that the vase troops cannot go to the battlefield. Whether they are vases must speak with their military merits."
"General, if this happens, it is probably inappropriate for us to put the other party in the front line? Will the General Staff agree?" asked a rat staff officer opposite the sand table. He smiled and said, "Do you think the second line will disagree with the military merits to the second line troops?"
"The second-line troops will definitely agree, but the General Staff..." The rat man wanted to say something, but waved his hand to stop him and said, "I can make a bet with you, and the General Staff will definitely agree with what I just thought!"
The rat man looked at several colleagues present, took out a gold coin from his belt and said with a serious look: "General, I've bet!"
Huabing nodded and said, "Everyone is here to witness that this is a bet between us, not a bribe, right?" The staff nodded, waiting for Huabing to take out his gambling funds, but saw Huabing put the gold coin directly in his pocket.
"General, you are..." The rat man who bet with Huaying looked at Huaying with a dull face, not knowing what Huaying was doing.
"You don't know that the general in front of you will never make a bet easily, right?" Tushan said from the side. The staff members nodded. Everyone was mobilized just now and had no chance to get to know each other.
Huaying smiled and threw out a piece of paper. A close-knit staff member picked up the paper. After reading it, he looked at the rat man with sympathy. The rat man didn't know, so he knew that he should have lost.
Appointing Al-Qi as the front-line commander of the Orc Empire Orc Forest, the Orc Empire has the right to decide all military actions!
