Volume 7 Mortals and Gods Chapter 768: The Wind Suddenly Blows
"Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements."
After Iros looked at Ekaterina for a minute, Iros said:
"Do you believe it, if our Grand Duchess replaces Duke Otto with Sarkozy, this Duke of Cyrel will definitely be able to annihilate the remnants of the Eye of Eternity and kill the God of Death himself?"
"But if we do this, we will lose more than two thousand people!"
Iros took the military report and gently hit Ekaterina on the head. Iros shook his head:
"This is why Fiona agreed to Duke Otto's advance. Fiona knows him better than I do. He fights smoothly. Although the fight doesn't look good, he can win.
Although we allowed the enemy to escape a little, we suffered few casualties. We fought thousands of miles away from the border, and the main force of the orcs has been eliminated. Are we fighting an army? We are fighting logistics and backup!"
Ekaterina suddenly stopped talking.
"The vast snowfield, a piece of rotten land, and the cold winter. In this environment, as long as it is not handled properly, the loss of non-combat casualties will be much greater than the loss of combat casualties."
Iros continued, clasping his hands behind his back, looking at the white snowfield with his dark eyes, and sighed:
"Otherwise, how could the orc army be so difficult to deal with? If I really intend to resolve the battle quickly, then the Shire Army formed by us should be the vanguard, and I will personally go out to destroy the remaining orc army."
"But if this is the case, how much will we lose to the elite warriors we have worked so hard to cultivate in the Ciel? These soldiers are all trained and selected one by one!"
After Iros finished speaking, everyone nearby nodded with sincerity.
"Anyway, I'm just a mage. The power of command lies with you and Fiona. You can command however you like. I have never hindered you."
Yekaterina was still merciless, but the female mage obviously accepted what Ilos said. The eyes of the former princess were full of little stars, and she still admired Iros as before:
"What's next? Do we enter the wasteland of Erengrad like this? Announce that we regain control of this land?"
"We will definitely move in."
"As for how to arrange the follow-up affairs of the grassland people, let's wait until we enter the city."
Iros glanced at the endless snowfield again and sighed inwardly.
Iros and Fiona discussed that the original plan was to clear the surrounding area after occupying the Erengrad Wasteland, but now it seems that it is almost impossible to do so.
He knew that he must not make the same mistake as Grand Duke Gros' grandfather when he invaded the North Pole.
At that time, the Duke of Charles, which was in great prosperity, prepared a total of 220,000 people for the expedition to the North Pole under the leadership of the Grand Duke of Gros.
In the end, when he withdrew from the ice and snow with more than 20,000 remaining troops, he lost a total of nearly 200,000 troops, and more than 20,000 Silver Hand knights fought for the rear, leaving only a few thousand men.

"Please use."
"Thank you." Fiona reached out to take it and enjoyed a little of it herself. Then she raised her hand, and thunderous cheers rang out throughout the camp, and people shouted the name of the Grand Duke, who was unparalleled in his kindness and righteousness.
That night, the coalition camp in the Erengrad Wasteland.
Everyone in the room sat down and celebrated another victory. Duke Otto raised Snow Goose Vodka and said to Fiona:
"Fiona, what are you going to do next? Do we want to clear out all the orc remnants around Erengrad?"
"If possible, I would really like to do this." Fiona said helplessly: "But the situation does not allow it."
Fiona took out another letter from Nielas Ellan in the rear of the Shire.
The logistics can no longer support it, Elan expressed in his letter full of apologies.
In a month at most, Iraq's logistical supplies will be completely interrupted. If the coalition forces plan to fight in the north, they must find ways to raise food themselves.
Everyone looked ugly after hearing this. Although the Erengrad Wasteland was recovered, there were still orc remnants everywhere. If we wanted to completely wipe them out, it would be a long war that would take several months or even two or three years.
Frequent security battles.

"So we have to leave?"
Duke Otto was very unhappy. He directly showed his hands:
"Very good, you have now seen the situation in Erlengrad. If we withdraw, this place will be undefended. My eldest niece, do you really think that the prairie people can defend this place by themselves?"
"Two things."
Fiona said calmly: "The first thing is, in a few days, the army organized by the prairie people will arrive here. Then we will discuss with them the issue of garrisoning troops."
"The second thing is to gather as many refugees from the nearby grasslands as possible. Within two weeks, we will immediately launch a referendum process to establish the Grand Duchy of Erlengrad and rebuild the northern barrier."
"Then, who will be the Grand Duke?"
Duke Otto then asked: "First of all, it's definitely not us Albrexians, nor you Shire people.
No grassland people will accept it. No matter how we help them, we are still outsiders to them, but if we let a local take over, what if we are out of control?"
"We were never meant to control the city politically."

Fiona shook her head: "We are only providing military protection and obtaining sufficient economic benefits. In any case, Erengrad is the inherent land of the grassland people, and they have had legal rights since ancient times.
Any attempt to make the Grand Duchy of Erengrad a vassal state or even annex it will definitely encounter fierce opposition from the grassland people, which is a move that breaks the balance."
Duke Otto nodded slightly when he heard this, thinking that Fiona no longer needed to remind him.
"So, to put it simply, we need such a person." Fiona continued:
"He must have the determination to revive the Prairie Principality, he must have sufficient commanding and internal affairs capabilities, and he must be willing to make a deal with us. We will provide him with a part of the army to help defend the city and not interfere with his administration.
And he must ensure that our economic interests are not lost and can withstand the pressure of the orcs. Within a week, he must find such a cooperative partner, and then we will help him publicize it so that he can successfully become the Grand Duke in the referendum."
Cooperative partner?
Duke Otto's eyes lit up, and he suddenly recalled the Esun priest Vladimir. He was tough, capable of commanding, had outstanding personal bravery, and also had great personal prestige.
He still remembered the famous sayings of Priest Esun.
"Forgiving the orcs is what God does. The only thing we have to do is send them to meet their own evil god!"

"I will never forgive the damn orcs under any circumstances. If I meet an orc in the toilet, I will drown him in the cesspit!"
"What about the army assembled by the prairie people?" Yekaterina, who was listening, asked.
