Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

"Lord Marquis, let's go back to the original topic. Judging from the summary data, our mobile troops have been repeatedly frustrated in carrying out the tasks of raiding the grain roads you ordered in recent times, and the orcs have already taken precautions.

You said that this strategy contained a large number of Orc troops. We tentatively believe that this is true, but the loss of these precious high-mobility forces is also real.

The battle loss ratio between our highly mobile elite cavalry and the orcs used to harass the grain roads has gradually dropped from five to one to two to one.

In the first month of executing the plan to disrupt the grain channels, we were still able to destroy more than a thousand tons of food from the orcs. However, in the second month, last month, the total amount of food we destroyed plummeted to three hundred tons.

It is foreseeable that the further we delay, the benefits from this tactic will become lower and lower, while the costs will increase. "

Grand Duke Thoros's words caused a commotion among the people. Naturally, the nobles in the North glared angrily, while the royal family and the nobles from the other three realms showed expressions of eagerness to try.

Today, the prince's younger brother is determined to undermine the prestige of Marquis Ashan and use this to achieve some more obscure and unattainable goals.

"My Lord Duke, with all due respect, what you said is nonsense. First of all, the orcs did deploy a large number of troops to guard against our elite cavalry that would disturb their food routes.

This conclusion can be obtained from what we have learned about the mobilization of the orc army and the battle records of the elite cavalry who harassed the grain road.

The orcs at least mobilized three main legions with a full strength of 10,000 people from various places, especially from the troops that were supposed to be sent to the front line, to support three food routes respectively.

This greatly reduces our defensive pressure on the frontal battlefield.

Our mobile force can play a relatively limited role in the defense of the fortress. At least I don't think the small number of elite cavalry we sent can contain a main army of ten thousand people on the frontal battlefield. "

"Then, Lord Marquis, what about the battle loss ratio? What about the results? Objectively speaking, our elite cavalry are suffering more and more casualties when they are used to harass grain roads, and our gains are getting less and less."

"Humph, Your Majesty the Duke, as soon as you mentioned this, I have to wonder if some commanders have bad intentions.

In the first month, many people hesitated to move forward because of fear of war and did not dare to accept this task. Most of the troops and commanders who performed this task came from our northern border.

But by the second month, I don't know if it was because I was jealous of the people in front of me who were taking advantage of the war, or because I couldn't see the war progressing smoothly.

Many commanders and nobles who were afraid of fighting in the first month actually actively signed up to participate in the task of raiding the orcs' food routes in the second month.

But these people made no big contribution other than exposing our combat intentions and losing troops and generals.

Especially Baron Hoyle and Lord Justin, weren't these two really bribed by the orcs? "

Marquis Ashan did not mention the royal family in a word, but he talked about the royal family in every sentence. Baron Hoyle and Lord Justin are both members of the royal family. These two men can be said to have lost their troops and humiliated their country.

"Marquis Ashan! Baron Hoyle and Lord Justin's loyalty to the kingdom cannot be obliterated! Their temporary defeat was only because the orcs sent a large number of extra manpower to take precautions!"

"Look, you yourself have admitted that this tactic has restrained a large number of the orcs' troops. There are only so many orcs' troops. If there are more to protect the food roads in the rear, there will be fewer to fight on the front."

"you!--"

“My Lord Duke, you simply blame the defeat of Baron Hoyle and Lord Justin on the orcs’ increase in troops and increased awareness of defense. I think this is unreasonable.

I think these two are either incompetent mediocre idiots or sinister villains who harbor evil intentions and intend to subvert the kingdom. "

"Marquis Ashan, I do not allow you to slander those loyal and loyal people who have served the country but were defeated due to objective reasons!"

Just kidding, Baron Hoyle and Lord Justin are the people who work for the royal family. If the Marquis of Ashan is so easily deprived of military power, then how can the royal family establish its authority in the north in the next step, let alone inhibit the development of the northern aristocratic group? .

Therefore, Baron Hoyle and Lord Justin are the people that Archduke Soros must protect.

"Haha, we lost the battle due to objective reasons? I think these are all excuses.

Zaius, go get the alchemy projector. "

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

Soon, a huge alchemy tool was moved to the predetermined location in the command hall by several guards. Marquis Ashan activated the alchemy projector with familiarity, and then put Levi's combat log on it.

"The orc army has three main logistics and supply lines. Among them, the Evernight Forest-Kanse River line is in the center of the orc-controlled area, and we cannot send people to harass it at all.

So before the orcs came, I reserved a team of only 800 people to hide in the Evernight Forest, commanded by Baron Monterey.

This Baron of Monterey does not even have any decent inheritance from his ancestors. The first generation of Baron Monterey was born as a commoner, and this Levi Monterey is the second generation of Baron Monterey.

Such a young man who received almost no qualified military education and participated in the war with only a negligible military talent has achieved an impressive record in an extremely disadvantaged situation.

Baron Monterey's troops had no follow-up logistical supplies, no additional soldiers, and no intelligence network to provide intelligence. His objective situation was extremely bad.

But it was such a young man who gave full play to the high mobility of the cavalry, manipulated the orcs in the palm of his hand, and crossed the Orin River four times, which is a model of high-mobility military operations! "

Li Wei has always been an insignificant little person in the eyes of the big shots. The most conspicuous label on him is "a young man who is favored by the Marquis of Ashan and may be reused."

Once Levi's battle diary was disclosed in such a serious place as the military command hall, it immediately aroused the interest of many big shots.

Everyone lamented that the Marquis of Ashan still had such vicious eyes, and that Baron Monterey was so lucky that he actually broke into the Marquis' sight.

"I wonder how Baron Hoyle and Lord Justin were blocked by the orcs even though they had well-organized troops, adequate supplies, and intelligence support, resulting in the loss of so many precious cavalry?

Such generals are indeed worthy of my suspicion. I still said what I just said, these two are either incompetent mediocre people who have nothing to do with their bodies, or they are insidious villains harboring evil intentions! "

The Marquis of Ashan knew how to get on top of the fight. After this combination of punches, Baron Hoyle and Lord Justin had no chance of survival. These two unlucky guys became the victims of the wrestling match between the two big men.

Marquis Ashan was victorious in this round, and the royal family could no longer attack Marquis Ashan's command in this round.
