"You know what we should do next, Jarrod?"
Francois touched his goatee and smiled.
"We want to win a big victory!" Jerrod frowned and said seriously: "Make sure this outlet is under our control."
"Very good, that's right!"
Francois nodded repeatedly, and he threw the head of the orc shaman on the ground. His sea-blue eyes flashed with the light of wisdom:
"We must fight this battle well. We must not only cause enough damage to the enemy, but also not expose the fact that we actually only have a few thousand troops. In this way, the cunning orc warlord will definitely feel great pressure."

"So, let us deal with the Orc Wolf Cavalry Legion that keeps harassing the entire ferry transportation route and constantly attacks the outside of Junku Castle!"
For a long time, the Orc Wolf Cavalry Legion led by the Orc Warlord Git Sourweed has been constantly harassing the Charles transport team, causing a lot of trouble and inconvenience to this Kansas Prairie expedition.
And now, according to the wishes of Grand Duke Gros, Francois made a plan to deal with this huge wolf cavalry army.
This orc wolf cavalry legion led by the orc warlord is huge in number. According to multiple reports from scouts, there are at least five to six thousand orc wolf cavalry and five to six thousand orc infantry. The total is estimated to be at least twelve thousand.
It just lacks heavy armored infantry and siege equipment.
However, Francois had only three to four thousand mobile troops, and they were mainly heavy cavalry composed of knights and knight retinues. They had a strong impact, but it was impossible to catch up with this orc-wolf cavalry army in terms of speed.
"This Wolf Cavalry Legion is indeed a cancer and must be eradicated, but... what should be done?"
Jerrod asked: "We don't have enough troops, and we also lack enough long-range weapons. If we fight in the field, we can easily get into a situation of being mobilized back and forth."
In the big tent of the Army Castle, everyone was waiting for François's next order, and his maid was making black tea for François.
"Eradicate, right..." Francois paused. He always maintained his elegant movements and demeanor, took the teacup, and took a sip gently.
"Your Excellency General!" Outside the big tent, François's confidant Lucy came in unarmed. He knelt down on one knee: "Your Excellency General, there are only one hundred and twenty-one longbows in the military castle.
Not much more.”

"How many dwarves are holding crossbows?" Francois was very calm, and he even looked at his crony Lucien with some kindness.
What few people know is that Lucien and François are related by blood. He is the illegitimate son and only descendant of François's nephew who died in the war.
Therefore, Francois not only promoted him vigorously, but also appointed Lucien to be responsible for the remaining military castle.
"The dwarves don't have many hand-held crossbows, there are more than five hundred." Lucien continued.
"Yes, I understand." Francois nodded.
"General, what are you going to do?" Sir Bayar, the Batorian expeditionary knight who came to support, asked seriously: "We all obey your orders, but..."
"But based on our current strength, it is unlikely to win this victory, right?"
Francois said calmly, he even smiled elegantly, his eyes were full of wisdom: "Lucien?"
"Your Majesty General!" Lucien knelt down on one knee and raised his head in confusion.
"Let me ask you, what determines victory or defeat on the battlefield?"
Francois sat calmly on the main seat. Francois, who was at the peak of the Holy Realm, was calm and composed. He even stroked his long goatee with a teasing tone that sounded a bit like a test.
"This..." Lucien didn't know how to answer.
"Hmph! The number of troops and the power of long-range weapons are all secondary."
Francois stood up: "What really matters is the right time and place, as well as our loyalty and belief in the people of the country. How can we, the knights of the Charles, have any reason to fear war!"
"oh!"
All the knights in the tent roared with excitement. They couldn't wait to show their virtue and strength! ωωw..net
"Gather the troops and get ready to go!" Francois stood up: "Three thousand people, that's enough!"
"The tactics of the Orc Legion are very simple and clear. They want to lure the enemy deep, encircle them, and then destroy them."
Francois said very calmly: "In this case, we will deliberately go deep to lure them to attack us! Take a day off, and tomorrow, arrange the fake supply convoy I prepared in advance and prepare to set off!"
"Yes!" All the knights stood up and accepted the order loudly.

In this way, a few days before the high elf army arrived at Storm Fortress, Francois led three thousand troops plus many civilians, seemingly carrying a large amount of baggage and logistical supplies, and marched along the Badwater River.
It seems that this is a vanguard army, and its destination is to transport supplies to Storm Fortress.
Sure enough, after receiving the news, the orc warlord Git Suwei immediately led the entire orc wolf cavalry army and came rolling in like sharks that had smelled blood.
Seeing that the opponent had few soldiers and was carrying a lot of baggage, Jit-Sourweed couldn't wait to devour the entire army in one go.
Fortunately, the orc warlord Git Sourweed remembered his superior's instructions and did not march rashly. He always accompanied Francois and his army, looking for opportunities across a Badwater River.
It was already November, and the Badwater River had fallen into the dry season. The Orcs and Wolf Riders could easily cross the river directly, but the cunning Git Sour Stomach never took the initiative and was waiting for the opportunity.
Similarly, Francois, who was not advancing very fast and was even a bit slow, was also waiting for the opportunity.
November 12th, night, on the edge of the Badlands, on the banks of the Badwater River, Francois's army barracks.
What is very unusual is that it is pouring rain from the sky.
Under the influence of heavy rain, the army's march was difficult, the knights were also complaining, and the transport team was stuck in the mud.
Francois immediately ordered the army to camp and rest on the spot. The general and several knight generals were fully armed and sat in the big tent to hide from the rain.

"Swiss, swiss, swish!"
The fine heavy rain watered the entire land by the river, and François walked out of the tent alone holding a torch.
He looked up at the dense raindrops. Even in the heavy rain, the torch in his hand showed no sign of being extinguished.
The rain hit the armor, soaking the lining, sending a bone-chilling chill.
"Cousin, it's raining heavily outside, you'd better come in and take shelter."
Gerald came out of the tent. The knight stood behind Francois. In the heavy rain, Francois's broad back was like a city wall:
"It's warmer inside."
"War does not distinguish between cold and warm." Francois turned around and looked at his cousin Sir Gerald gently: "Orcs too."
"Orc?" Jerrod's long golden hair was already wet from the rain.
"Yeah, orc."

Francois still stood in the rain. He raised his head and looked at the dark night sky under the heavy rain:
"You must understand, Jerrod, how to bring out our strengths in war, how to avoid our weaknesses, how to concentrate superior forces to destroy the enemy, and how to judge when is the right time to launch an attack."
Just behind Francois, all the oilcloths on the supply carts were lifted, and they were filled with various wooden fences, horse-rejection arrays, and a huge number of crossbow arrows!
The peasants had already started working. In the heavy rain, under the angry scolding and command of the knight, they nailed the wooden fence deep into the muddy ground and arranged the horse-repelling formation neatly.
Before long, the entire camp was armed like a hedgehog.
"This is?"
Jerod's eyes widened: "My general? Could it be that the orcs can?"
"Bayar and Pierre have each led a thousand knights out."
A cruel and cold smile appeared on Francois's face: "Today is the end of the Orc Wolf Cavalry Legion!"
"Ready to fight!"

"Ready to fight!!!"
The melodious and majestic horn sound resounded throughout the camp.
