Chapter 585 Flooded “7 Counties”

"The orcs are crazy!"

This was the common thought of countless defenders on the city wall.There is nothing wrong with attacking a city with the help of floods, but no one has ever seen this method of taking away one's own people.

I have to admit that this lose-lose style of play is the best way to achieve surprise.The heavy flood that arrived in advance caught the defenders by surprise.

Although Hudson issued flood control orders in advance, the work also took time.As of now, there are still many material warehouses and there is no time to complete the transfer.

The ships ordered to be built by the Logistics Department are still being processed at the rear, and very few of them have reached the front line at this moment.

"Send the order, let all the air force attack, and shoot the orc soldiers who fell into the water!"

Hudson, who had regained his composure, hurriedly ordered.

Without enough ships, it would be difficult for the defenders to go out and hunt down the enemy.The only one who can beat the drowned dog at this moment is the air force flying in the sky.

You can kill as many as you want.As a qualified commander, any opportunity to weaken the enemy should not be missed.

Under the baptism of the flood, it was a foregone conclusion that the defenders suffered heavy losses.Fortunately, there was an orc accompanying him, otherwise Hudson would have been thinking about crying.

The uninformed would only suspect that the orcs were crazy, or at most think of the orcs fighting among themselves, but Hudson knew that this was self-defeating.

Without any experience in water conservancy construction, he took it for granted that he organized a large number of manpower to block the river and build dams, and also engaged in multi-ethnic joint construction. The biggest accident was that no accidents occurred.

Originally, what they were doing was a shoddy project, but he stepped in to make the quality of the uncontrollable project worse.

They are all a group of people with no construction experience. It is obviously a luxury to expect them to control the intensity of damage.

The quality of a project is never determined by the upper limit.Just one area of ​​fill that is not compacted can be enough to destroy a dam.

Hudson had no doubt that these orcs dared to spread several meters of plain soil at once before manually compacting it.

Even in the opinion of some orcs, the lower the tamping intensity, the better, so that they can dig less square meters of soil and transport it for backfilling, and complete the tasks explained above more efficiently.

As for the possible consequences, Hudson didn't think that the low-level orcs, whose average IQ was less than 60, could figure things out.

Maybe the top brass of the Orc Empire didn't know that the construction workmanship was not up to standard and the dam would collapse under the erosion of the water flow.

Perhaps in the understanding of the top orcs, if the earthwork of the dam is not strong enough, it must be reinforced with magic. They have never considered that there is an upper limit to magic reinforcement.

As the water level continues to rise, the pressure generated is also increasing, and it is simply not something that a few magic spells can withstand.

Faced with the raging floods, Hudson did not order to block the water inlet. It was not that he did not want to block the flood outside the city, but that he simply could not block it.

Even if the city gate can be blocked, there is no way to block the sewers.At this moment, there are not only floods in Satex Fortress, but also various kinds of things brought out from the sewers...

In short, the flood brought great trouble to the defenders.

A large amount of materials could not be moved in time and were soaked by the flood.Countless bacteria and viruses emerge from sewers, greatly increasing the probability of causing various diseases.

Looking at the raging water in front of him, Hudson was mentally prepared to fight the plague.

After all, the soldiers in the city could still hide on the buildings, but the orcs outside the city were directly taken away in a wave.

Unless millions of people died, we would not be able to bear the consequences of this great flood.

Deep down, Hudson already held a moment of silence for Daniel.Maybe he doesn't even need to take action. After the war, the orcs themselves will kill the army commander who planned this water attack.

Since ancient times, fire and water have been ruthless. This is the price of not being good at learning.Whenever a large-scale water conservancy project is built, Daniel will strictly control the quality of the project before taking action.

Even if it is a one-time dam, it still requires technology.

Not to mention that this temporary earthwork dam will collapse, even if it is a reinforced concrete dam, it will be washed away as soon as it is built.

The orcs were even more ruthless. They continued to raise the dam directly against the pressure of water erosion. There was no construction process at all, and they did not consider the stability of the dam foundation at all.

As the flood continued to plunder, cities and fortresses were surrounded by floods one after another, and all the seven counties in the border areas were reduced to the state of Ze.

All the noble lords on the front line began to cry in their hearts at this moment.Years of hard work are now ruined in one fell swoop.

Unless a few lucky ones escape the disaster because their territory is in a relatively high position, the infrastructure in other areas will have to be torn down and rebuilt.

Theoretically, the kingdom will subsidize the border lords who have suffered heavy losses after the war, but when the money will be available depends on whether the Treasury Department still has money in its pockets.

……

On the prairie, Daniel, who had been running all the way and was lucky enough to escape the threat of floods, stood on a small soil bag and looked at the ocean all over the world, tears falling down.

It's all over!

The most tragic defeat in the history of the Orc Empire was born in his hands.

The "aftercare" work has nothing to do with him.

This disastrous defeat was enough to erase all the achievements in the past.

Staring into the distance, Daniel vaguely heard the heart-rending struggles and gnashing teeth of the orc soldiers.

It seemed that countless people were pointing at his nose and scolding him: It was because of his stupidity as the commander that the tragedy before him happened.

There is no salvation. Under the baptism of the flood, the army has long been in chaos.

Among all the orcs, except for the flying eagle people and the swimming frog people, all the other races suffered heavy losses.

Especially the heavy infantry and heavy cavalry wearing armor are even more tragic.Being weighed down by iron lumps all over his body, even if he could swim, he could only sink to the bottom passively.

At the last moment of their lives, what they complained about was no longer that the armor was of poor quality, but that the quality was too good.

In order to survive, every dirt bag on the grassland has become a battleground for countless orc soldiers.

A crowded scene immediately unfolded, and some soldiers in the middle were even squeezed to death.

The competition among the orc soldiers on the periphery became more intense. In order to fight for a foothold, their bestiality was revealed here.

In order to survive, the stronger races expelled and massacred the weaker races.

The "killing" started and never stopped.

In order to survive, a steady stream of orc soldiers poured in, and the soil was dyed red with blood.

A group of gryphon cavalry who happened to be passing by almost fell from the sky when they saw this terrifying scene.

"Hans, what are you doing so stupidly? Go somewhere else quickly!"

Indeed, the orcs who were killing each other did not need them to bother themselves.

After the fighting between these guys is over, it won't be too late to turn around and come back to clear away the remnants.

The orcs who fell into the water were no better than pigs. Even the high-ranking figures in the past were struggling to survive in the water now.

When they met Xiao Tiqiu, they were blessed by the beast god, while more orcs were struggling in the water.

Even a seventh-level expert may die in the ocean if he is unlucky.

……

At Fortress Satex, Hudson stood on the highest point of the city wall, overlooking the raging flood below.

“The water level is no longer rising, what a pity!
If this flood lasts for a few more days, the Orc Empire will become history. "

Fortunately, the orc who was struggling in the water did not hear his emotion, otherwise he would have been pissed to death.

It wasn't enough that the army had been smashed into pieces, so he actually wanted to annihilate them all. It was really...

I'm running out of words!
With their lack of knowledge, they really can't find an appropriate adjective.

The flood lasted for more than an hour before the water level in the city reached its peak. It was not known how long it would take to recede.

Anyone with a little bit of military knowledge knows what will happen if a large army is soaked in water for several hours.

Even if the entire army is not wiped out, there won't be much left.

Now is the time to test your luck. If the camping area is high enough, you can still save a life; if you are unfortunate enough to be in a low-lying area, then learn to swim!
At the moment of life and death, you can best push yourself to your limits.Countless landlubbers have passively learned to swim.

As for those who cannot learn, they are already floating on the water and drifting with the current.

Of course, the exception was the unlucky ones wearing armor. Tie Giaoda took them directly to the bottom without even a chance to struggle. "Hudson, you are so cruel!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, a group of elves floating in the air were glaring at Hudson.

If looks could kill, he would have been cut into pieces at this moment.

"Miss Delise, don't be so aggressive every time we meet!"

Hudson said angrily.

Although there are many elven sanctuaries in front of him, Satex Fortress is his home ground. There are also many seventh- and eighth-level masters in the city. The magic crystal cannons and magic crossbows on the city walls also provide assistance.

Even if there is a fight, most of the losers will be these elves.

Of course, it is better not to fight or not to fight.Letting seventh- and eighth-level masters participate in the holy war is taking human lives.

Even if it wins, the kingdom will suffer heavy losses.

"Humph!"

"Why do you dare to do it, are you still afraid of being criticized?"

Delise asked sarcastically.

After living for hundreds of years, she has seen many ruthless soldiers, and this is the first time she has encountered someone as ruthless as Hudson.

First, the company camp was burned, and then the seven armies were flooded, which fully demonstrated the ruthlessness.

"Miss Delise, I think you must have misunderstood. But if you walk around the city, you won't say that!"

Hudson said pretending to be sad.

Since it was self-defeating, he was not prepared to take the credit for this flood.

Since the dam was built by orcs, they will naturally bear the blame.

They were also hit by floods. Some races suffered heavy losses, while others escaped. Hudson did not believe that the races that suffered heavy losses had no ideas.

The vitality was severely damaged, and internal conflicts intensified. The orc invasion was actually over.

Facts have proved that the blame-shifting method is really effective. After flying around the city, the expressions of all the elves became complicated.

Although the defenders were prepared, they were clearly unable to cope with the flood in front of them.

"Killing an enemy by one thousand and inflicting eighty losses on yourself" is obviously not in line with Hudson's usual style.Referring to past cases, we know that he will minimize losses as long as the situation allows.

Although she thought she understood the truth, Delise didn't know how to complain.After giving Hudson a hard look, he said angrily: "Let's go!"

She wanted to lose face, this scene was really too embarrassing.

Since it was the orcs who committed suicide and caused the tragedy, the subsequent issues have nothing to do with the elves.

As the leaders of the Anti-Humanity Alliance, they only need to be responsible for keeping the human race's sanctuary from participating in the war. This time they came here for a routine investigation.

Seeing all the elves flying away, Hudson was a little embarrassed. This old aunt was too easy to fool.

I didn't say anything, I just made up the whole thing in my head.

Since the elves all think so, Daniel will definitely take the blame.

Judging from the investigation, the orcs responsible for the construction were the first victims.The parties involved are all dead, and if you want to investigate afterwards, there is no way to start it.

The problem exposed on the bright side is that the quality of the project is substandard.

If we continue to dig deeper, it is simply that the construction deadline is too tight, resulting in substandard project quality.

The finger is still pointed at Daniel, the unlucky guy. Who gave him the order to speed up the construction progress?
As time passed, disasters from various places were gradually reported.

Thanks to the preparation in advance, even if he was caught off guard, the previous measures still saved a lot of losses.

"Marshal, according to intelligence from various places, the seven border counties have become the hardest hit areas by this flood.

The specific losses cannot be calculated yet, but tens of thousands of tons of materials were soaked by the flood alone.

There were thousands of casualties, more than 500 bodies were found, and more than [-] people were missing.

The only good news is that the accumulated river water in the upper reaches has been drained out, and the water levels in various places have begun to drop. It is expected that the flood will recede tonight. "

After listening to Jose's report, Hudson rubbed his forehead helplessly.

Not all frontline generals react as quickly as he does, and can immediately issue response orders after discovering that a flood is coming.

One slow step is the beginning of disaster.

Caught off guard by a massive flood, the soldiers in the city were fine, and the soldiers patrolling outside were basically taken away in one wave.

Soldiers missing in the flood will most likely die.

The number of civilian casualties has not yet been calculated, but it will definitely exceed that of soldiers.

Especially the old, weak, women and children in the city, after experiencing such a great stimulation, even if they are not drowned, they may be frightened into falling ill.

"Pass the order and let the troops in various places strictly implement the epidemic prevention regulations and properly deal with the next possible plague!"

Not mentioning the pursuit of the enemy, the current situation was such that it was too late for the orcs to flee for their lives, and they simply could not stay where they were and wait to die.

It was impossible to fight again. All the baggage carried by the army was washed away by the flood.

All the cattle, sheep and horses are gone. Those who can save a life are the lucky ones. Why continue to fight?

If the roads were not muddy and unsuitable for large-scale military operations, Hudson would have ordered a full-scale counterattack.

……

"Your Highness, let's go!
There is no place for us in the empire. The water has not completely receded yet, so it is the best time for us to leave.

Enter the world of ice and snow first, and once you’ve escaped the limelight, it’s not too late to come back! "

The captain of the guard persuaded anxiously.

If such a big accident happened, there must be accountability.All the unfavorable evidence so far points to Daniel.

If the boss is liquidated, the younger brothers will not be able to escape.

There is no point in explaining, and now all parties are angry.It is estimated that as soon as Daniel shows his face, he will be torn apart by the angry orc tribes.

"There is no chance. The power of this flood is enough to destroy the main force of the empire. I destroyed the empire!"

Daniel said bitterly.

A moment of misstep, eternal hatred!

I originally thought it was a conspiracy to force the enemy to come out for a decisive battle, but I never expected that it would become the culprit of burying the Orc Empire.

It would be fine if he died in the battlefield. As a fighting race, everyone is born with this consciousness.As long as the war can be won, all losses are worth it.

But the current situation is: instead of dying under the enemy's butcher's knife, he was tricked by his own people.

It was obvious that the enemy's seven armies were flooded, but they were forced to pretend that they were flooding the enemy's seven counties. Instead, they lost their own "seven armies".

"Your Highness, I can't blame you. If those guys hadn't been urging the decisive battle, you wouldn't have taken the risk.

Since you chose to take the risk, you have to bear the consequences of the failure of the plan, but you can't bear the blame for them!
You can stay away for a while and wait for the domestic situation to change before returning to clean up the mess.

Anyway, Hudson is so powerful, and no one else is a match for you except you. When they suffer, they will think of you! "

The captain of the guard persuaded him hard.

Seeing that his boss was still unmoved, he gritted his teeth and struck out from behind, knocking out the dazed Daniel, and carried him away.
