Volume 7 Mortals and Gods Chapter 778 Destruction (2)
At this time, someone shouted: "Your Excellency the Grand Duke and Your Excellency Iros, I recommend the spring vegetable stewed mutton here, it is very delicious!"
"Then two, oh no, three." Iros, Fiona and Talleyrand found a quiet corner to sit down.
Iros said to the waiter who was running around excitedly with bare feet: "Another staple food and your special sweet wine, you can decide what to do."
Then, the three people continued to talk about the situation.
It was rare for Fiona to personally explain to Talleyrand the advantages and disadvantages of Catalin Khan's Northern Expedition. This lame spirit really didn't know much about war, but he had already concluded that Catalin Khan would definitely choose the Northern Expedition.

"Just watch, but remember, don't go to the rescue, no one will appreciate your kindness, and the responsibility for the defeat will still be placed on you. We have made enough money from Erengrad, it is time to stop.
.
Also, if we guessed correctly, a messenger from Emperor Peter of the Alplekes Empire will arrive in the near future. He is nominally here to congratulate and labor the army, but in fact he is here to spy on the strength of our army and test our intentions.
To annex Erengrad."
"Can you predict the future?"
Fiona's eyes flickered. She had received a secret report from MI7. Metternich, the special envoy of Emperor Peter, had arrived at Storm Fortress!
But the key is that Talleyrand didn’t know it at all!
"Limiting the target to His Excellency the Grand Duke and the leader of the other party, I can guess something."
Talleyrand shook his head: "I also guessed that one day Catalin Khan would come to beg you. When the time comes, I have an idea to tell you."
"Not now?" Fiona blinked.
"Before the time comes, and once said, the method will be ineffective and will be very troublesome." Talleyrand said with a wry smile: "I hope you can understand that some things are timely and confidential."
"Khan, we can't make the Northern Expedition!"

In the private residence of Katalin Khan, the logistics manager Bagramyan knelt in front of Katalin Khan. He almost burst into tears and said sincerely to Katalin Khan:
"The timing is wrong."
"What's wrong with the timing?"
Katalin Khan had just announced at the conference that he had approved the decision of the Northern Expedition, which was supported by the vast majority of his courtiers. In three days, the prairie army will head north, preparing to completely retake the Kansas grassland and drive away the orc army there.
Now hearing Bagramyan's plea, Katalin Khan was very impatient. He thought for a while and said in a considerate tone:
"I understand what you mean, Hoff. The Guards are indeed poorly trained, and they are basically new recruits. However, the opportunity is rare. According to the reports from the scouts, the enemy only has more than 10,000 people. It is impossible for five of us to fight one."
But right?
Training while fighting, the battlefield is the best classroom."
"Moreover, the supply of Shire to us will be cut off! If we wait any longer, the Guards will have to disband!
This is impossible, I have made up my mind, and the army will set off immediately after three days!"
Bagramyan's request was rejected. This was not because Katalin Khan insisted on having his own way, but because almost all the courtiers hoped to make a rapid northern expedition.

Three days later, the grassland army began to concentrate its troops and march north.
Catalin Khan and his courtiers were unsure whether the Grand Duchess of the Shire continued to plan to "recover" the Kansas grasslands and the northern border. In addition, the Shire's logistical supplies were gradually dwindling. They were determined to rush on and seize the fruits of victory.
After discussing the marching route, everyone chose the fastest route, starting from the Kansas Mountains along the Ergun River to the east, and then going directly north to pass through the New Dragon Court of the Orcs.
The military operation started very smoothly. As Iros analyzed, the Orc Chaos now only has a group of stragglers left. When the grassland army appeared on the battlefield, the scattered Orc army of dozens or hundreds of people was quickly expelled and defeated.
At most, Katalin Khan could receive twelve good news messages in one day.
This made Katalin Khan full of confidence in the next war. He learned the lessons from the last time the orcs went south to clear the grassland.
When he encountered the Death God's Chosen Champion Zan Ek and his Raven Guard Legion at a place on the banks of the Ergun River, Katalin Khan was careful not to forcibly surround and pursue them.
This allowed Zang Aike to seize the opportunity and escape.
The Guards wanted to continue the pursuit, but at this time the climate suddenly changed. The grassland in April had entered spring, and the Ergun River began to thaw. Just after Zanaike and his army escaped the frozen river,
The climate suddenly warmed up, the ice and snow thawed, and the river surface turned into a torrent with a large number of floating ice floes.
The Guards were unable to cross the fast and wide Ergun River, and the two sides began a confrontation along the river.
Under the orders of Generalissimo Denikin, tens of thousands of steppe cavalry built a large number of rafts and boats in preparation for setting up pontoon bridges.
On the other side of the river, Zan'ek, the Chosen Champion of Death, managed to gather as much of an orc army as he could muster, less than ten thousand men.
The Death Chosen Champion knew that it faced an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, and due to the failure of the southward invasion, there was a serious shortage of elites. Most of them were stragglers with low combat effectiveness and low morale.
However, nothing excites Zang Ek more than this.
Because it will prove through an epic victory that Ekko is still the master of the battlefield and the trusted champion of Death!
Mid-to-late April, the border between the Kansas prairie and the northern border, the shadow forest.
The Death God's Chosen Champion, Zan Eike, felt frightened when he thought of his previous encounters.
Two days ago, when it and its army were surrounded by steppe cavalry, Zan'ec was left with more than a hundred orc warriors from the Raven Guard Legion, and it was almost surrounded by 50,000 people!
If you're not careful, it will really show up here!
This made Zan Aik break into a cold sweat and he was terrified.

Since the failure of the war going south, the number of troops around Zan Ek has been greatly reduced.
The orc army it led was already losing troops and its strength was greatly reduced. Especially after the news of the defeat of Dranosh's main orc force came, its army also faced serious problems of desertion and attrition.
The chiefs and champions of the major clans have serious disagreements. Some have escaped, some want to escape, some want to continue plundering before leaving, and some idiots even want to continue going south.
Zan'ike had already spent a lot of effort to assemble the defeated group of remnants, but what was very troublesome was that the chiefs of several large clans retreated, and the two sides continued to fight within themselves during the retreat.
After two battles, Zan Eike was left with more than a hundred people, and he was almost surrounded and killed by the prairie army.
If it hadn't been for the two wolf clans to join him, Zan'ek would have definitely fled.
