Lord Harland.

Pratt let the orcs camp at the foot of the mountain five miles away from the Fortress. After nightfall, he climbed up the hillside. Relying on his night vision talent, he continued to observe the defenders of the Fortress to see if he could find any flaws.

The torch swayed gently in the night wind, and red sparks burst out from the top of the torch. Soldiers were constantly patrolling the walls of the fortress. The iron armor reflected light under the moonlight. The soldiers were orderly and without any panic.

Pratt was very patient. He waited until the second half of the night and witnessed with his own eyes that the defenders of the Fort Garrison completed two defense changes.

He thought to himself: "The defenders should be stationed every four hours. Every time the defense is changed, it is quiet and there is no panic at all. There are elite soldiers stationed, and the night attack seems to have no chance of winning."

The night was like water and looked very peaceful, but Platt was distraught.

Pratt observed the whole night, and he was very clear in his heart that although the military depot was quiet, it was full of murderous intent.

Faced with the complete city defenses, if you rush to attack this castle, you will definitely end up with a lot of blood and casualties.

However, the orc army arranged for the Pratt Army to fight in this direction, leaving no room for bargaining. The combat mission of Plett Corps is to find a way to break through the defense line of Harland's territory and disrupt the northern area of ​​Black River Fort.

On the front line of the battlefield, Platt knew in his heart that the orc headquarters had underestimated the strength of Harland's territory, and it might be very difficult to achieve the strategic goal.

Early the next morning, Platt sent the harpy to scout the deployment of the troops in Harland's territory.

The invisible people scattered out and entered the sky above Harland's territory, and some even flew to the side of Black River Fort to investigate the situation of the Northern Army.

Now there is a magic hot air balloon in Harland's territory. When the harpies fly over the military camp, the magic hot air balloon can take off to fight and push back the smaller number of harpies.

There are sharp archers on top of the magic hot air balloon. It usually takes four to six harpies to attack from all directions to destroy a magic hot air balloon. During the attack, the harpy will be shot and killed by the sharp archers.

Even if the magic hot air balloon is blown up with an energy missile, the members of the magic hot air balloon team are equipped with parachutes, so it is not easy to kill the magic hot air balloon crew.

It is difficult for harpies to reproduce. There are only one hundred and twenty harpies in an orc legion. Several harpies can be sacrificed to shoot down a magic hot air balloon. After fighting several times, the harpies found that the exchange between the two sides was no match. Not cost effective.

After a few aerial battles, as soon as the harpy found the magic hot air balloon rising into the sky, he immediately used his speed advantage to leave far away to avoid fighting the magic hot air balloon.

In addition, the reconnaissance brigade of the Harland Territory has the magic beast cavalry as the backbone. The magic beast cavalry has very strong combat effectiveness, and they are not afraid of the harpies hunting and blocking, and the scope of intelligence and reconnaissance has expanded a lot.

Although the intelligence reconnaissance of the orcs is still at a disadvantage, compared with a few years ago, the situation has greatly improved.

During this time of the orc invasion, the army in Harland's territory also had certain battlefield intelligence rights. We also have a general understanding of the movements of the orc army.

Pratt attached great importance to intelligence work and must clearly investigate the situation of the army in Harland Territory. Even if he lost some Harpy scouts, he waited for six days in the military station.

Within six days, the Harpy carefully scouted Heihe County, and even flew into the Dragon Canyon, scouted the mobilization of the Grant Kingdom Knight Academy, and completed the assembly.Lord Canyon and the nobles of Brenner County also organized a coalition to reinforce the northern front.

After analyzing the situation, Platt believes that the fighter plane has not yet appeared.

It is simply foolhardy to fight the soldiers of Haaland Territory now. Even if there were heavy casualties and the depot was captured, there would still be Fort William blocking the way.

Attacking one castle after another, even if all of your own legion is wiped out, it will be difficult to penetrate Harland's territory. When the Northern Army, the Knight Academy Cavalry Regiment, and the coalition of nobles from the Gedda Province mobilize, their own army will inevitably be surrounded and annihilated.

Pratt had no backing in the upper echelons of the Orc Empire. He was able to climb to the position of legion commander only by being cunning and good at fighting.

Since the fighter plane did not appear, Platt withstood the pressure. He chose to camp in the north of the military depot and had no plans to attack the city.

The number of soldiers under Li Cha's command is relatively small, and even with the help of alchemy bombs in a field battle against the orc army, there is not much chance of winning.

Both sides responded to the ever-changing situation by staying still. Time passed like this day by day, and it was April in the blink of an eye.

In mid-April, the first turning point suddenly appeared in the war situation.

The orc commander on the eastern front adopted tactics of besieging Eagle Fort, and the main force was hidden in the south of Eagle Fort, luring the Grizzly Legion into a decisive battle.

The Grizzly Legion couldn't hold back, fearing that Eagle Fort would fall, and rushed to reinforce it when they were not strong enough.

In this battle, the orc army successfully defeated the Grizzly Legion.The Grizzly Legion lost six brigades, and even the Beast Cavalry brigade lost more than half of its troops.

The Grizzly Bear Legion is the backbone of the main force in Lahe Province. After the main army was defeated, the situation in Lahe Province suddenly became very bad.

The first person to suffer was Richard's neighbor, Viscount Nelson.

Although Viscount Nelson's resistance was very fierce, and it could be said that the battle was the last one, but the strength of the two sides was too great. In late April, Flynn Castle fell, and the orcs broke through the Heihe defense line, and they could break through to Heihe without any worries. to the south.

Flynn Castle is the main castle of Viscount Nelson. Its status is similar to that of Fort William in Harland. West to avoid war.

There were as many as refugees who fled from Viscount Nelson to Graveson Castle, including soldiers of the Nelson family.

After receiving the information, Li Cha hurried to Graveson Castle, and resolutely drove away the members of the Nelson family and incorporated soldiers.

Members of the Nelson family all have noble status, and Roland has no authority to deal with them at all. If you want to swallow this soldier and eat the refugees in Nelson's territory, Richard can only do it himself.

Richard is a hereditary viscount, higher in status than the remaining members of the Nelson family, and a reserve major general, the supreme commander of a strategic direction.

The northern part of the Heihe Fort area is the war zone under the jurisdiction of Li Cha.

As long as he is not a hereditary nobleman, Li Cha has the authority to kill first and play later.

Richard personally rushed to Graveson Castle to preside over the reorganization of the army, and the remaining members of the Nelson family did not dare to stop them.

If Ji Ji Wai Wai Wai, they are not Viscount Nelson, they were beheaded by Richard, and there is no place to redress their grievances.

These Nelson family members were all kicked out of the army by Richard.

Without the interference of this group of people, Harland Territory successfully swallowed 600 soldiers.

Viscount Nelson is on the front line and is under great pressure to defend against the orcs. The soldiers in the territory will basically practice breathing techniques as long as they have the conditions. These 600 soldiers have the quality of more than 300 people, which can be compared with the soldiers of Haaland Territory.

In addition to more than 600 soldiers, the 27,000 refugees were a windfall that was swallowed up by the Haaland territory. Of course, it was impossible to return it to the successor Viscount Nelson.

The remnants of the Nelson family planned to take refuge in the powerful Harland territory, but they didn't expect Richard to eat people without spitting out their bones.

The population and soldiers were wiped out by the territory of Harland, which naturally made the members of the Nelson family angry. Some young people even threatened to sue themselves in the noble council, but were beaten and stopped by their parents.

It is now a period of war, and Li Cha is the supreme commander of the Gravessen area. At this time, he has lost his head, and there is no reason at all.

Having angered Richard and killed all the remnants of the Nelson family could be completely blamed on the orcs. Whether the members of the Nelson family could survive or not was actually decided by Richard.

The living environment of the hereditary nobles in northern Xinjiang is very harsh. Richard led the troops to fight at the age of sixteen, and it has been twelve years now.

In the past twelve years, the situation in the northern Xinjiang region has been changing. Some nobles have climbed up the ranks and been promoted to noble titles, while some nobles and their entire families have died. Some nobles lost their territories, received a sum of money and moved to the royal capital, losing their status as nobles, and generations of hard work were ruined.

The Harland family can grow and develop, so Richard will naturally not be merciful at critical times.

As long as the Nelson family members are obedient, Richard has no intention of doing anything wrong.

Regarding the tragic situation of the Nelson family, Richard also had a sense of hurting others. Although he devoured the soldiers and population of Nelson's territory, he had no intention of killing any members of the Nelson family.

The young people of the Nelson family did not know that the Parliament of the Nobles was a tool for the great nobles to negotiate with the Grant royal family. The minor nobles actually do not have much authority in the Parliament of Nobles.

The strength of the Harland family has reached the standard of a great noble, and their treatment in the noble council is also extraordinary.

The Nelson family went to the Parliament of Nobles to file a complaint. It felt like someone in the family was suing me for what reason.

Even if the aristocratic council made a judgment against Harland's territory, when the population was returned, it was justified and justified, and it could be negotiated when it was executed.

You say that this person is a serf of the Nelson family, but they say no, how do you prove it?

If you use a soldering iron to make a mark, it is easy to destroy the mark.

Moreover, the Harland territory covers more than 18,000 square kilometers and now has a population of close to 300,000. How to find the serfs in the Nelson Viscounty territory is also very difficult?

It is estimated that in the end it will be a mess and let Li Cha return some population.

With a population of more than 27,000, the most that can be returned is a few thousand.

Ordinary serfs would of course stay in the Harland territory. Even if the freedmen became indentured servants, it would be safer to stay in Harland territory.

Only the middle and upper strata of Nelson's territory, who have broken bones and tendons with the Nelson family, can follow the Nelson family and rebuild the territory.

These people used to have good living conditions, and the contrast between being reduced to indentured servants is huge. They must not be able to accept such a change in their hearts. Richard was also unwilling to let them stay in the Harland territory, harboring resentment, causing messy things, and affecting the development of the territory.

This group of people was screened out by Richard. There were more than people in total, and they were all taken away by the Nelson family.As for some of the gold and silver that the members of the Nelson family carried, Richard was not greedy.

This sum of gold and silver, which adds up to about 20,000 gold coins, can be used to turn the Nelson family around.

When the Harland family managed the territory, the initial capital was only a few thousand, and they borrowed some from relatives, which was only .

If the successor Viscount Nelson is very capable, he will still have a chance to turn around.

The Viscounty of Nelson fell, and the eastern part of Harland's territory became the front line. Although Nelson family soldiers were recruited, the strength to defend Graveson Castle was still weak, and Graveson had become the weak point of the defense line.

Realizing that the war situation had changed and the defense line was weak, Li Cha immediately chose to seek help from Heihe Fort.

Because the war situation was not serious, Heihe Fort dispatched city defense troops as the first wave of reinforcements.

Because he didn't trust the remnants of the Nelson family, Richard dismantled the six hundred soldiers and added them to the six brigades in Harland's territory, and then transferred four infantry squadrons to Graveson Castle as an organizational system.After completing this step, Graveson Castle already had nine infantry squadrons, six auxiliary squadrons, and the number of defenders had exceeded two thousand.

Li Cha had just completed the rectification in Gravesen, and the Northern Frontier Corps received a request for help from Feiyan Castle.

After the defeat of the Grizzly Legion, the situation in Lahe Province became very bad.

Although the Kingdom of Grant invested the strongest force in the province of Lahe, with one main force and two second-tier legions, the orcs also invested four legions in the province of Lahe, the number of which exceeded .

Now seven orc brigades restrain the defenders of Flying Eagle Castle, and six brigades are approaching Grizzly Castle to fight against the remnants of the Grizzly Legion.The four brigades dispersed and looted in the northern part of Lahe province.

A main army went south to attack Feiyan Castle, and thirteen brigades gathered in the southern part of Viscount Nelson's territory. They would invade Gerda province at any time, attack the direction of Heihebao, and contain the main northern army of Gerda province.

The strategic location of Feiyanbao is very important, and it is the most important strategic stronghold in the eastern part of Gerda province.

The castle is located on the north bank of the Wright River and entered Wright County, the core territory of the Gedda Province, by water.If Feiyan Castle cannot be defended, Wright Castle is also in danger of falling.

Fort Wright is located in the hinterland of Gerda Province, and apart from the Cavalry Regiment of the Knight Academy, there is no strong army nearby.

This is the richest area in the Gedda province and is also the direct territory of the Grant royal family. The population of Wright County reaches hundreds of thousands.

If Wright County falls, Nolan will definitely be held accountable.

After receiving Feiyanbao's request for help, although the head of the Arab Army was under a lot of pressure, he still decided to send reinforcements to help the Feiyan Army maintain the situation.

Compared with the main army, the number of soldiers in the second-line army is only , and there are no magic beast cavalry and mage regiments in the establishment, and the weapons and equipment are also inferior.

The most important thing is the fighting will and combat experience. The second-line army is not as good as the main army.

The Feiyan Legion's soldiers were no match for the elite soldiers from the Harland Territory even in positional warfare.Facing the attack of a complete orc army, the Feiyan army couldn't stand it for too long.
