The traitors from the Orc Empire spoke the same language as the Grant Kingdom, infiltrated into human cities, and had legal identities.
Even Heihe Fort has some people raping it.
These traitors pass information to the orcs in the northern part of the Eagle Mountains through special channels, and are sometimes more difficult to deal with than the main force of the orcs.
Because the Harland Territory restricts the entry of free foreigners, implements militarized management, and has laws prohibiting migration within the territory, no orc intelligence personnel have been infiltrated for the time being.
"The enemy opposite us is the Harland family. This family is an emerging military aristocratic family. There are three barons in total, and the core member is named Richard Harland, who is the commander of the Harland territorial army.
Although Richard is young, he has already participated in several battles, including the Defense of Platos six years ago. He made military exploits in annihilating the Wald Brigade and won the Silver Star Medal.
The Harland family has a large number of troops, including ten infantry squadrons and one cavalry squadron. Richard is good at inventions, and he invented the heavy trebuchet. This invention won the award from the Grant royal family."
Hearing that Richard had participated in the defense of Platos six years ago and had made military exploits, Gunderson became obviously interested.
"It turns out that we are still old rivals. Six years ago, Richard was a small officer. Six years later, he is already the commander of an army of thousands of people. This kind of person is either strong in ability or high-ranking. Richard's background is very ordinary.
He must be very capable."
Orlan nodded and said: "The deputy commander is right. Richard is indeed very capable. I have never heard of him being defeated. He won the Silver Star Medal six years ago and completely annihilated the Shamok Brigade three years ago.
Defeated the Marulande Brigade."
"Fort William has complete fortifications and is obviously a tough enemy. We should learn from the lessons of the Marulande Brigade. Due to limitations in transportation capacity, we only carried four heavy trebuchets and stormed Fort William without any chance of victory."
The speaker was the orc captain, fifth-level werewolf Dvorik.
Although the heavy trebuchet is powerful, it is very inconvenient to transport and requires a large number of accessories.
A heavy trebuchet requires dozens of oxcarts to transport, and about fifty installation and operator services.
The orcs were limited by their transportation capacity when going south, and it was impossible to carry too many heavy trebuchet accessories.
"Dvorik is right, there is no chance of winning in a head-on fight. Can we use a strategy to attract Richard to lead his troops to attack and fight Richard in the field?"
Another orc captain, the sixth-level lion-headed man Kang Gule, put forward his opinion.
Gunderson listened to the speeches of both groups, and then let the remaining officers express their opinions.
Compared with six years ago, Gunderson not only improved in strength, but also advanced to level nine. He also gained more experience in commanding battles and became much more prudent in using troops.
"Luring the enemy is a strategy. Let's pretend to withdraw our troops tomorrow to see if Richard will take advantage of the situation and pursue him?"
The next day, the scouts discovered something unusual. Two and a half large groups of orcs left the camp and took a detour to the eastern valley.
The orcs guarding the northern part of the Hudson Valley only have half a brigade left.
After the news reached the brick kiln factory, many officers were eager to try and asked for battle.
Even Richard's uncle Thoros tends to attack the orc camps.
According to the strength of the Harland family, attacking half of the orc brigade has a 100% chance of victory.
"Although there are fighter planes, the overall situation of a strong enemy and a weak one has not changed. Moreover, the orc scouts have a great advantage. As long as they want to hide their traces, it will be difficult for our scouts to detect them under the suppression of the harpies. Now there are accurate
The intelligence came back, but it was the orcs who set up a trap. The situation is a bit strange, so we cannot take risks easily."
After careful consideration, Richard rejected the opinions of most people.
Only when officers make military exploits can they be rewarded and achieve better development.
Uncle Thoros had to achieve military exploits in order to accumulate meritorious titles and titles.
Subjectively, they are all greedy for merit. Once greed arises in their hearts, they will convince themselves, ignore some issues, and behave less objectively.
Although Richard also wanted to make meritorious deeds, he was not as eager as Soros. Instead, he could consider the overall situation. Seeing that Richard had resisted the temptation and was not greedy for merit, Gunderson let out a long sigh.
The current situation is very unfavorable to the orcs.
The north entrance of Harland Canyon is a three-way intersection where several mountain roads converge. It is a strategic point where the orcs must be stationed.
Troops must be stationed at this mountain pass.
Facing the threat from the Harland family, the number of troops stationed on the ground cannot be reduced.
If the number of defenders is too small, they can easily be eaten by the Harland family.
According to public information, the Harland family is very powerful, equivalent to an orc brigade.
If half of the troops were divided and stationed in the valley, the remaining one and a half troops, even if they took a detour into the Gedda province, would not be able to attack Graveson Castle on the Black River.
Gunderson thought about this battle and felt that his troops were insufficient, so he wrote a letter to his superiors, explaining the reasons and requesting reinforcements.
The orcs suffered a defeat in the last battle, killing the legendary quilboar and losing forty to fifty thousand soldiers.
After suffering this loss, of course the orcs couldn't swallow this sigh of relief, so they removed four legions from other areas to strengthen their forces to attack the Grant Kingdom.
In this war, two legions were used to deal with the two new counts, Martins and Roger.
The Royal Warcraft Cavalry Regiment commanded by Roger has returned to the Royal Capital. However, as a Duke of the Royal Court, he has saved a large sum of money himself. In addition to the 200,000 gold coins invested by King Charles, the territory has not developed much.
An army of 6,000 men has been organized and some unsatisfied officers have been recruited from Nolan.
In addition, Roger also recruited some key members from the Warcraft Cavalry Regiment and organized two squadrons of Warcraft Cavalry.
These two squadrons of Warcraft Cavalry are short of men and horses, and their quality is not much different from that of the Harland family's Warcraft Cavalry Regiment, but they are not as good as the Warcraft Cavalry Squadron under Baron Harden.
Facing the attack of a legion of orcs, Duke Roger barely managed to hold on to several major fortresses. He opened up the road and allowed the orcs to pass through the count's territory and enter the vicinity of Eagle Castle to plunder.
Count Martins was not that rich. He only organized two thousand troops, and the quality was not as good as Duke Roger's.
In order to speed up the development of the territory, Count Martins used orc prisoners of war on a large scale.
This time the orcs invaded, and a large number of orc slaves in the territory rebelled.
Even though Count Martins was well prepared, he still lost some of his key members. In order to suppress the orc rebellion, there was a feeling of exhaustion.
Facing the attack of a legion of orcs, Count Martins was unable to resist. Now he is trapped in the castle, and the situation is not optimistic.
Whether Count Martins can survive depends on the rescue efforts of the Mad Lions and the Duke of Edward.
Because there were four more legions, after receiving Gunderson's letter, the orc legion commander immediately decided to send troops to support.
Soon two large groups of orcs were on their way out, and had already joined forces with Gunderson in late March.
With the strength of five brigades, plus some miscellaneous baggage troops, the total strength of the orcs has exceeded 10,000.
