As he walked and stopped, Bruno accumulated a lot of fire, to be precise, the entire army of orcs was full of fire.

There are traps everywhere, and it can be said that the pits they have stepped on in the past few days are more than they have stepped on in the first half of their lives.

The most annoying thing is that based on the information from the Hawkman's reconnaissance, there is still a team ahead that is still sabotaging the destruction.

Although the Expeditionary Force went to the front line to fight, several engineer regiments were left behind for destruction. The more difficult the section of the road was, the more severe it was destroyed.

Especially some sections close to water sources are not only bumpy all the way, but also introduced into the water flow and turned into muddy roads.

If there weren't an eagle man responsible for the investigation, he would have probably been arranged to block the river and build dams and flood the seven armies.

The flooding of the Seventh Army did not happen, but the flooding of the flood on the road still did not hide.

The bad road greatly reduced the speed of the orc army's advance. The expeditionary army had walked for five and a half days, but it took them four days to walk less than one-third.

The biggest reason for the slow speed is to build roads.

It is impossible not to repair it. As the closest support force, they are also responsible for escorting logistics supplies.

Since the war has been going on, the Duchy of Moxi has either been passive or taken the initiative to complete the clearance of the war areas.

Even the noble castles along the way were empty, either going to participate in the battle to defend Dapest City or joining various armies.

If a lord is responsible for defending his territory, it does not mean that he cannot adapt. If the king issues a conscript order, the original constraints of his duties will no longer be a problem.

The Moxi people's adaptation directly caused the orc army to suffer. When the nobles evacuated, they devastated the materials they could not take away.

Either poison the food or just get it done with fire. Even if someone misses the net, it will be snatched away by the army ahead.

In order to obtain more supplies, the orc army could only go further away to rob.

But the orc army besieged Dapest was more than 300,000, and the food and grass consumption of so many troops can be imagined.

The nearby areas have been damaged for a long time. With Dapest as the center, you should not even think about seeing people within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Even if the scope is expanded to three hundred miles, there are only some military fortresses left. Ordinary serfs and free people either become dead souls under the sword or have fled.

In the occupied areas, if you cannot obtain enough supplies, you can only raise food from the rear.

After all, not all orcs can make a living by gnawing leaves and eating grass. Without enough nutritional supplements, they cannot support high-intensity combat.

I thought the Bear Man Imperial Court was closest to Dapest, so I asked them to transport a batch of food and grass to go for emergency response, but the team that should have arrived at the earliest has now fallen to the end.

Several times Bruno wanted to order the army to detour, but he considered the actual problems and finally gave up.

People can take a detour, but war beasts and convoys cannot. Moreover, the time for detours to increase is not necessarily much less than that for road construction.

Who made them all outsiders?

Everyone is gone, and there is not even a guide. It’s nothing to walk along the avenue, but if you get lost through the path, it would be embarrassing.

Looking at the strange hawkman falling from the sky, Bruno felt worse and worse. His intuition told him that this was coming to urge him to speed up again.

He also wanted to hurry over and seek revenge from the Expeditionary Force, but the problem was that he had to build roads first!

...

The army was moving forward. When it was about thirty miles close to Dapest, the Bemon cavalry finally met the beast soldiers who fled in a hurry.

Officer Bemon, who was walking in the front, was a clever ghost who knew what his prince wanted now. He saw the defeated soldiers and caught them without saying a word and sent them to Prince Buzweig.

"Tell me, what happened in Dhape?"

Facing Prince Buzweig's sharp eyes, several unlucky soldiers stood still and stood still for a moment.

"Idiot, haven't you heard me asking?"

Prince Butzweig grabbed an unlucky guy and scolded him angrily.

As the noble Prince Bimon, being able to speak to these lowly races is a great gift. It is simply unforgivable to be dazed by these guys.

"Dear... Prince... Your Highness, I... we don't know anything!

It was pitch black, and then the army was defeated. We really don’t know what happened.”

After getting a confused answer, Prince Butzweig threw the confused egg in his hand and directly came out of the air.

I heard a "thump" sound and landed seven or eight meters away. My body struggled instinctively and then completely silent.

Treatment does not exist, but now no one dares to anger Prince Butzweig, who is just a humble wild boar, can't get on the table at all.

"Where are you? Just like this stupid pig, you don't know anything?"

From Prince Butzweig's murderous eyes, several wild boars smelled the danger. The person who was targeted could only tremble and replied: "No... His Highness the Prince.

I remember that at dusk yesterday, the Expeditionary Force appeared on the battlefield and then launched an attack.

The commander ordered half of the troops to intercept the expeditionary force, and then the defenders in the city also came out and attacked us from the front and back.

Then it became dark, and the enemy set up a headlight on the city tower, illuminating the battlefield like in the daytime.

Then there are magic crystal cannons, fighting, cavalry…”

The Wild Boar Man recalled all his memories, perhaps because he was too nervous and the content was a bit confusing and could not be connected.

However, with his superhuman wisdom, Prince Butzweig still roughly figured out the current situation - the Expeditionary Force and the defenders in the city joined forces to defeat the besieged army.

Then there was nothing. The army of 300,000 orcs died and fled, and the general trend had already lost all of them.

"If you send the order, the entire army will stop advancing and set up camps and rest on the spot."

Prince Butzweig ordered decisively.

The rescue targets were gone, and continuing to rush over for a long distance was also lost.

No matter how "incomplete" the army was, it was still an army of 300,000. Without this army, Prince Butzweig would not dare to run to fight the human race with just a Bemon army.

It was not because Prince Buzweig had no interest in increasing his troops without sending troops to recruit the defeated troops. He could not do it.

The orc army has many races, and it is very difficult to coordinate internally. They are usually organized based on tribes and races. If you want to restore the establishment, you must first find their tribe leader.

The "upright orc" believes in the truth and only recognizes his own tribal leader, or it may be that outsiders who have just met cannot remember it.

After all, the lower-class orcs have no cultural heritage. It is not new to all races in the Orc Empire.

For the sake of their own rule, the five imperial courts not only blocked the spread of knowledge downward, but also deliberately suppressed the cultural development of vassal races.

Many races have developed for countless years and are still in the most primitive stage of production. At least in the military-related fields, they have not taken a step forward for many years.

It is not surprising that my brothers' civilization has stopped moving in place. It is not surprising that their productivity lags behind the human race with just the population of the five orcs.

Now is the time to pay for it. Under the most primitive mobilization system, you can do nothing without the tribe leader.

Soldiers of the same race may be able to force themselves to command.

Now there are all kinds of defeated soldiers everywhere, and even if they are reorganized, they cannot be restored. If they want to form an army again, they can only mix multiple races.

Putting the contradictory tribes into an army is equivalent to locking "sheep and wolf" in the same circle. You don't need to think about what will happen next.

...

The Palace of Duke Mosey came to attend a high-level meeting for the first time, and Hudson learned about Chris IX's illness.

I don’t know if it was done intentionally or was really happy, but Chris IX still attended the military conference with illness.

With his keen perception, Hudson could see at a glance that this was not a disease, but a manifestation of his body being hollowed out and about to reach the end of his life.

In addition to being able to support the willpower of the people until now, it is estimated that it has also used many treasures to nourish vitality to save lives.

As an ally, Hudson sincerely hoped that Chris IX would live a few more years, at least until the end of the war.

The Duchy of Mosey cannot withstand any turmoil now. Even if the replacement of royal power is smooth, it will inevitably cause internal turmoil.

This is not something that personal will can avoid.

Chris IX obviously saw this and gritted his teeth to support it. At this moment, he came out to attend the military meeting, and showed goodwill to Hudson, or to the Alpha Kingdom.

If nothing unexpected happens, the marriage between the two countries is already underway. Hudson is very clear about how obsessed with Princess Anne.

Judging from the current situation, this marriage is the best choice for both parties, and the common enemy has brought the two countries together.

The situation in the Principality of Moses is critical and needs support from a large force; the Kingdom of Alpha also needs to stabilize the Western Front, and supporting the Principality of Moses is to support itself.

What's more, Prince Caesar's previous performance in the Principal of Mosey was a huge loss of points, and his reputation on the mainland was a sharp turn.

If your reputation is bad, it will inevitably be greatly affected when you marry. Not everyone is willing to choose a future king and son-in-law who has low real power to marry.

There is no point in struggling. The general view from the outside world is that after experiencing the strong king of Caesar III, Caesar IV, who is behind him, must be a weak king.

Unless Prince Caesar turns the tables against the wind and proves his abilities again, he can wash away the shame brought by his previous failure.

There is no doubt that this is impossible. No one will feel at ease and let him come out to command the army again.

It is difficult to achieve great things in the military, and it is even more difficult to achieve performance in politics.

The princes and ministers below are all old foxes, how can a crown prince control it?

Play peacefully according to the rules of the game, and everyone will give you some face. If you cross the line, he will definitely suffer.

"Prime Minister, you will preside over this meeting!"

Chris IX said with a trembling voice.

Looking at that expression, it was as if you could meet the Lord of Dawn at any time.
