Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel
Chapter 214 Undercurrent
At this time, Crown Prince Westhayt was touring the wounded barracks in a decent manner, condolences to the wounded, trying to gain back the reputation of a clean defeat. But the harsh environment in the wounded barracks made him cover his nose involuntarily several times. He really didn't want to stay in this place for a moment longer.
"His Royal Highness, go to the meeting hall quickly, His Majesty has convened an emergency meeting!"
"Okay, I'll come right away!"
Westhead comforted the wounded soldiers in front of him, and then immediately left the wounded barracks as quickly as possible, which he disliked very much.
"What is it that makes Father pay so much attention to it?"
"Your Highness, I don't know the specifics of this, but it should be related to the Evernight Forest-Kanse River logistics supply line."
"This logistics supply line is indeed very important to my father. Last time, my father sent three Yaori-level warriors and a full force army there. It stands to reason that the enemy should not be able to afford the waste."
When Crown Prince Westhead and many leaders of large tribes and prominent figures arrived at the meeting hall one after another, the old Beast King signaled a ratman who specialized in intelligence work to stand up.
"Everyone, two days ago, we received news from the Evernight Forest that the human army lurking in the Evernight Forest attacked one of our grain transport fleets, causing considerable losses.
However, the Eternal Night Forest discovered an interesting piece of information. A young but somewhat powerful little witch was able to squander the Sun-level witchcraft scrolls at will.
Sure enough, after our investigation and verification in the past few days, we found out that Flora Ashan, the youngest daughter of Matthew Ashan, our sworn enemy across from us, was missing.
Matthew Ashan's youngest daughter is extremely talented and was trained by him as the future heir of the Ashan family, and the little witch we found in the Evernight Forest fits Flora Ashan's characteristics very well. "
As soon as the Rat Man finished speaking, the participants in the entire hall couldn't help but whisper to each other, and Crown Prince Westheit's eyes lit up.
Matthew Ashan has always been the great enemy of the Orc Empire. More than 20 years ago, Matthew Ashan led the allied forces of the Fontaine Kingdom in the northern expedition to the Orc Empire. They fought and won consecutive battles and occupied a large area of the Orc Empire's territory. This led to the expansion of five new counties.
After the war, Matthew Ashan successfully promoted the Ashan family to the throne of marquis by virtue of his military exploits. Such great achievements that could be recorded in the history of the Kingdom of Fontaine were built on the humiliation and blood and tears of the Orc Empire.
Last winter, Crown Prince Westhite led an army of 120,000 troops to attack the newly expanded five counties. In just one month, they conquered two counties and reached the Snow Dragon Fortress.
It can be said that that winter was the peak of Westhead's life.
If Westhead succeeded in capturing the Snow Dragon Fortress that time, it would not only be a great tactical and even strategic victory, but would also have a profound political impact.
The current Beast King is old. As the successor, Westhead needs prestige and military exploits to secure the throne.
In addition, during that raid to expand five new counties, Crown Prince Westhead intentionally supported the leaders of the large tribes who failed to serve as clan leaders, intending to divide the power that originally belonged to the clan leaders of each clan and strengthen the imperial power in disguise.
It's a pity that the dream of the Crown Prince of Westhead was shattered. Under the city of Snow Dragon Fortress, the overwhelming boulders, the giant alchemical bomb that destroyed the world, and the Helf oil that ignited the fire of hell smashed Westhead's ambition to pieces.
The charge launched by the Marquis of Ashan, led by a group of powerful men from the newly expanded five counties, and the Ice Knights, severely crushed Westhead's shattered ambitions to the ground.
After Westhead's failure, the old Beast King had no choice but to step forward in person and wipe his son's butt.
The old beast king led an army of hundreds of thousands and fought steadily, and it took him two or three months to push the orcs' front all the way to the Snow Dragon Fortress.
However, the cunning Matthew Yashan completely implemented a prudent defense like a shrinking tortoise on the frontal battlefield, and relied on the excellent location of the Snow Dragon Fortress to block the orcs here.
The most terrible thing is that although Marquis Ashan behaved like a shrunken turtle on the frontal battlefield, he repeatedly sent troops to attack the orcs' food routes from the flanks, and also arranged an elite force in advance to lurk in the Evernight Forest. , causing serious damage to the Evernight Forest-Kanse River logistics supply line.
Not only that, the original idea of the old Beast King was to attack the enemy slowly and steadily, starting from breaking out the bones and sucking out the marrow in the occupied areas, in order to relieve his own logistical pressure.
But Marquis Ashan didn't give the old Beast King any chance. He not only moved all the residents on the path that the beasts must pass through in advance, but also sprayed the farmland with black rose medicine.
Now is the season when wheat is filling and summer grains are about to be harvested, but the orcs can only watch as the wheat in the occupied area only blossoms and does not bear fruit.
And Matthew Ashan's strategic intention is very obvious. If the orcs really want to wait until autumn and forcefully wait for wheat that matures three months later, then Matthew Ashan will send people to set fire to the fields.
At that time, the orcs will become a party that occupies a vast area, has no dominance at all, but must passively defend. If the orcs want to defend these grain fields, they can only spread a large number of troops, and then be defeated one by one by Matthew Ashan's highly mobile troops with local superiority.
Matthew Ashan can be said to be the most feared and hostile person by most people here. Now, a little witch suspected to be Matthew Ashan's heir is suddenly exposed to everyone's sight, and everyone has an idea.
"Father, I think this little witch who is suspected to be Matthew Ashan's heir is insignificant in the overall situation, but I think we must pay attention to it.
If this little witch is really the heir of Matthew Ashan, then after we capture her, she can be used as a bargaining chip to threaten Matthew Ashan.
Although this chip has limited weight, a small disturbance at a critical moment may change the situation of the battle. "
"Haha, Your Highness the Crown Prince, how can we gamble on military affairs? Who can guarantee that the unusual little witch in the Evernight Forest is the heir of Matthew Ashan?
And we really put a lot of manpower into arresting him. What if we don’t catch him? You know, the humans in the Evernight Forest are very cunning, and we suffered heavy losses there.
Take a step back and assume that the little witch is Matthew Ashan's heir.
If we want to seize a small target in the huge Evernight Forest, we can only mobilize forces from the front line. I think based on the past performance of the people in the Evernight Forest, it is safe to send a strong man from the Sanctuary. .
The problem is that if the frontline forces are diverted too much, the Snow Dragon Fortress will definitely notice it, so I think this somewhat suspicious little witch can be put aside for now. "
Westhead took a look and refuted the werewolf clan leader Huon Coronel, knowing that the other party was rebutting for the sake of rebuttal. Since the last time Westhead tried to let the leaders of the major tribes and the royal family divide the power of the clan leaders, , these patriarchs have a lot of opinions about Westhead.
The recommendation is over, new subscriptions have plummeted, and today’s average subscription is probably going to go backwards.
