Volume 7 Mortals and Gods Chapter 763 Dilemma (Part 1)
"There is another warrior."
The fairy in the lake said calmly to everyone, and the goddess's figure continued to shine on the high platform:

"There is another warrior in the Shire. He has completed countless myths and miracles. He has achieved impossible tasks. He has taken risks alone just to protect others.
He has made great contributions to this war against the orc invasion, so I have also prepared the second highest medal to award him."
"Unfortunately, it cannot be awarded today."
The goddess continued: "Therefore, I will keep this medal temporarily. When all the victorious masters return home, Fiona, the new Grand Duchess of the Shire, and my strongest champion will have a wedding ceremony in the palace. I will appear at that time,
I personally award the highest Order of the Lady of the Lake to that warrior."
oh!
Now everyone has a good idea. Everyone knows who the other highest medal will be awarded to.
Iros smiled bitterly after hearing this. This goddess really never forgets to cause trouble at any time. She originally didn't want to attract everyone's attention, so she gave the highest honor to Goodwin, who immediately diverged her thinking and found a balance for herself.
Iros knew who she wanted to reward, and as she said, if Goodwin deserved it, that person deserved it even more.
Let's do this for now, Iros compromised, and the bowl of water must be leveled.
The Day of the Holy Grail was spent amidst cheers and banquets. This celebration greatly strengthened the morale and sense of honor of the Shire army, and also made other empires aware of the power of the current Principality of Shire.

The lions crossed the grassland, and the war horses galloped to the north.
Late March, Kansas prairie.
Magic roared and thunder and lightning exploded.
Amidst the sound of horse hooves, a group of orc warriors were fleeing in despair. All of them were injured and had expressions of extreme fear on their faces.
"Humans! Dwarfs! The pointy ears are coming!"
"Help! Beast God, please have mercy on us!"
"no no!"
The orc army was collapsing. Under the fierce attack of the coalition forces, these arrogant orc troops who had followed Dranosh southward were like pugs with their backbones broken, being crushed into pieces by the advancing steel torrent.
The knights from the Shire wielded two-handed swords and super-long lances produced by the arsenal, splitting the armor of the orc warriors into pieces.
The knights' lances penetrated the bodies of the orcs, and the iron hooves of the horses shattered the fragile shield walls of the orcs.
There is no mercy, no virtue, just massacre.
The orc army here was temporarily composed of three clans. It was originally unlikely to collapse in the face of a sudden attack. However, as several armies entered the battlefield, they were frightened.
These orcs were frightened.
They saw the double lion crest of the Grand Duke of Charles and the battle flag symbolizing the Silver Hand.
In the middle of the snow-covered wasteland, the Knights of the Silver Hand, wearing heavy armor and wearing white robes to protect themselves from the cold, formed several of the strictest solid square formations and stood motionless.
On their right side were the Guardian Knights and the Holy Knights, who were equally prosperous and majestic.
In addition to these armies, there are two elite Holy Grail Knight Legions led by Louise and the twelve Holy Grail Guards, as well as three elite infantry regiments from the Shire and a mixed legion composed of dwarves and high elves.
.
At this moment, the dwarves and charr's magic artillery regiments were firing.
This legion is personally commanded by Fiona. Judging from the current situation where the orcs have lost their backbone, it is almost impossible for the orcs to form a combat force that can compete with this legion.

The Grand Duchess Fiona and Iros, who were fully dressed in military uniforms, each held a monocular telescope and looked at the battlefield.
"Honey, it looks like your friend doesn't want to fight anymore."
Iros put down the monocular and said.
"my friend?"
Fiona also put down the monocular, and the Grand Duchess was still a little confused: "Who are you referring to, Iros?"
"That orc champion! I see that all he can think about now is escape." Iros said with a smile.
"..."
Fiona rolled her eyes at Iros and continued to observe the battle situation.
This level of fighting makes Fiona not even interested in sending out the Knights of the Silver Hand or going into battle herself, and it is completely unnecessary.
The remnants of the defeated orcs were in a massive rout, and an orc champion at the head was screaming and ordering the chariot to run faster, faster!

Run away!
"boom!"
The musketeers from the dwarves hit the orc champion in the back with a volley, punching a hole with white smoke in its shoulder. A stream of purple blood spurted out and fell on the snow.
However, the Orc Champion could indeed run, and he ran regardless of the terrain. The human soldiers could not catch up, and it was inconvenient for the heavily armored knights to move in the snowy fields. The Orc Champion actually ran away with a small group of Wolf Cavalry.
"It's better to let the champion run away and adapt to the wind, that's fickle!"
Fiona put down her telescope again:
"But it doesn't matter. An hour later, this battle became synonymous with another victory in Operation March Storm!"
The coalition forces continued to advance, and soon all the remaining orc soldiers were killed or driven out of the snowfield. The mutated skull flag, mammoth flag and eight-pointed star flag that symbolized the orc Norsca clan were burned.
The double lion flag from the Shire and the flags of other legions were erected on the capital city built with tens of thousands of orc heads. The soldiers cheered for another victory and sang the names of Fiona, Iros and others.
However, there was no special joy on Iros's face. He just gave orders to the legion to clean up the battlefield on Fiona's behalf.
Although it is already late March, the further north you go, the colder the climate becomes, with white snow falling in the sky, and the temperature is once again close to minus 5 degrees to minus 10 degrees.
The terrible winter will not leave the Kansas prairie so easily. According to the military guides, the Kansas prairie will not gradually lift the ice until May.
To make matters worse, as the Northern Expedition army left Storm Fortress and headed north into the grasslands, the logistical supply problem suddenly became serious.
The logistics supply of the coalition began to decrease. There was almost no on-site supplies in the orc territory, and it was impossible to loot. The Northern Expedition often had to stop and wait for supplies to arrive, and sometimes even had to retreat.
Similarly, despite having prepared winter coats and heating equipment in advance, the soldiers and high elves of the Southern Empire who lived in a warm and humid climate were really frozen.
The morale of the soldiers has declined. Many people openly complained about the damn weather and the damn orcs. Some people even said weird things, asking why we should drive out the orcs and let the next generation do it?
In the big tent, everyone gathered together to discuss the military situation.
Now the Northern Expedition army was divided into several parts. Facing the scattered remnants of the orcs, Fiona, Gonzalez and Duke Otto also divided their forces in the same way after studying it, so that the army could fully clean up the enemies on the Kansas grassland.
The army is divided into these groups:
Fiona and Iros personally commanded an army of 20,000 people.
The first army of Grand Master Raun of the Knights of the Holy Grail is about 20,000 people.
Duke Otto's second army, about 15,000 men.
Gonzalez's Third Army consisted of about 12,000 men.
The army of the Holy Empire consists of approximately 7,000 people.
"We can still encounter such a sizable orc army in the rear, which shows that there is a problem with cleaning up in this direction."
Iros looked at the map:
"Also, Duke Otto's army broke into the snowfield too deep."
"The Duke may be a little anxious to prove himself."
Goodwin’s back has become even stronger since she was awarded the highest honor of Lady of the Lake:
"Your Excellency the Duke is also eager to go deep into the snowfield and completely eliminate those dirty orcs."

"I know that."
Iros sighed. He noticed that Duke Otto's army was advancing and had arrived near the core area of an orc:
"What I'm afraid of is whether he will encounter the main force of the remaining orc army led by Hal Eternal Eye, the God of Death!"
I have to say that Iros’ crow’s mouth was quite accurate.
