Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

Yorkshire, Snow Dragon Fortress, in the military command hall.

"For nearly two months, the hundreds of thousands of orcs led by the old Beast King have been attacking our Snow Dragon Fortress. Fortunately, you fought bravely and did not avoid the arrows, so our Snow Dragon Fortress was firmly nailed here. The old Beast King could not take another step forward.

Especially the reinforcements from the Kingdom led by Archduke Thoros twenty days ago immediately stabilized our crumbling city defenses. I think the Beast King should be thinking about how to stop and retreat now. "

Marquis Ashan looked around with a smile, and many nobles and nobles present also smiled apologetically. No one dared not to show favor to the Marquis.

"But~" Marquis Ashan's smile faded, and the entire command hall suddenly became solemn, "Although it is a huge burden for the Orc Empire to spend it like this now, but why not for us?

And the longer the war drags on, the greater the variables will become. Especially as the defenders, we don’t have much to do when faced with the orcs burning, looting, and wreaking havoc on our land.

The orcs are powerful, with hundreds of thousands of combat troops. I don’t think anyone here dares to guarantee that they can lead an army to defeat the enemy. "

As he spoke, Marquis Ashan glanced at his brother, Grand Duke Thoros, intentionally or unintentionally.

The Grand Duke who wanted to take command was not a fool. After staying in the Snow Dragon Fortress for a month, this royal nobleman had already understood the weight of the enemy in front of him.

Let alone take the initiative to defeat the enemy, even if he is allowed to independently command the fixed snow dragon fortress, he will still put a question mark on himself.

However, in terms of political needs, the royal family did not want the Ashan family, which was already a domestic giant, to continue to expand its influence. Therefore, King Clovis I urgently hoped that his younger brother could take over the command of the coalition forces, even in name. .

"Hahahaha, of course we can't, but I think Marquis Ashan is fully capable of leading an army to defeat the orc army.

Not to mention the pioneering war more than 20 years ago, last winter's victory at Snow Dragon Fortress is just around the corner. Our Marquis Ashan is a genius commander who can always create miracles. "

Thoros knew that he would never be able to defeat the orc army outside the city head-on, and he also did not think that Marquis Ashan could do it. Since no one could do it, Grand Duke Soros would simply give Marquis Ashan a trick to kill him. Anyway, this method always works well.

"His Excellency the Duke is joking. There is a huge power gap in front of us. I can't defeat the enemy head-on in this situation.

But just because we don’t have a chance now doesn’t mean we won’t have a chance later. "

"I wonder what your Lord Marquis has to say?" Earl Mensa from the Western Region curled his lips and said in a sinister tone.

"Now that hundreds of thousands of orc warriors are there, we can barely hold on. Under normal circumstances, there is almost no possibility of defeating the enemy.

But what if the enemy's forces are spread too thin?

Or is it that the enemy's morale has been shattered? "

"Marquis Ashan, are you talking about the Black Rose Project?"

"Yes, since I wasn't too sure about the Black Rose Plan at the beginning, the Black Rose Plan was just my backup option. Now it seems that the Black Rose Plan is very effective.

Tru, tell us about our results during this period. "

"Yes!"

The chief staff of Marquis Ashan walked to the center of the command hall, then saluted many nobles and said calmly:

"My lords, a month ago, we started to organize tentative harassment of the orcs' food channels, and the results were very good.

Since the orc supply lines are very long, the protection at various points along their supply lines is very limited. Except for the Evernight Forest-Kanse River supply line, we organized a total of fifty-one attacks on the orc supply lines, and succeeded forty-four times. Only about two thousand soldiers were lost.

Our results were quite fruitful. About 700 tons of grain were destroyed by our troops. More than 20,000 orc people and nearly 5,000 grain convoys were wiped out by us.

As for the orc logistics supply line between the Eternal Night Forest and the Kense River, Baron Monterey led people to lurk into the forest and then wait for opportunities to destroy it.

Due to communication difficulties, we only had the opportunity to communicate with the Baron of Monterey once a month. In the last communication, we learned that the results of the battle with Baron Monterey were even more gratifying. Their cavalry of several hundred people actually annihilated more than 2,000 grain protection troops in the Evernight Forest and destroyed more than 400 tons of grain. .

According to intelligence, due to our high-intensity logistical interference, serious hidden dangers have appeared in the orcs' logistics. Now the lowest commoners on the orcs' side have begun to reduce food rations.

And in this situation of food shortage, they will definitely look for crops that have not been burned in Palink County and Idyll County.

We have irrigated these crops with black rose pesticide, and the flowering period has been extended to a full three months, which means that wheat that can be harvested in early summer must wait until autumn before it can be filled."

"Your Majesty, we have basically confirmed that the crops that have not been destroyed in our occupied area have been watered with diluted black rose medicine by sinister enemies, and the maturity time of these crops will be three months later than normal.

So if we want to harvest these grains, we will have to wait all summer until autumn. "

At the same time, in the big tent of the orc army, the old beast king sitting on the throne was listening to the daily intelligence.

"This group of hateful human beings only want to deal with me with so many losses, and they never dare to have an upright duel with me head-on.

By the way, what's the situation of grain loss in various places? "

"Your Majesty, things are not optimistic. The grain roads everywhere have been attacked to varying degrees. The three logistics managers are all asking for reinforcements."

"What an incompetent waste. There are so many people who still need to mobilize troops for support!"

"Your Majesty, I have very bad news here."

"It's okay, just tell me."

“Previously, you agreed to dispatch a main army to support the logistics director on the front line of Evernight Forest-Kanse River after the rest.

Logistics Director Swain handed over all the general control to Army Commander Hank after the arrangements were made.

But we just received news that Hank's main army suffered heavy losses, and the entire cavalry battalion was completely wiped out. "

The old Beast King snatched the letter with a ferocious expression and began to carefully read the battle report from the Evernight Forest-Kanse River.

"Nonsense, it's just nonsense. This Hank is a complete mediocrity and a useless snack!"

The old Beast King felt a sense of powerlessness welling up in his heart at this moment.

The grain road was attacked, and our logistics supply was a big problem. Now we can only count on the two counties of Aidier and Palinke to collect enough military rations.
