Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

The intensity and density of this attack were very limited, and the prepared rear army formation was hardly affected.

But the orcs were frightened.

Just half an hour ago, the orc army was destroyed by these shells falling from the sky, and the originally tight military formation of the former army was smashed into a sieve by the trebuchets of the Snow Dragon Fortress.

As a result, the orcs collapsed and completely fell into madness.

They scrambled to squeeze into the gaps between several military formations in the rear. Because the gap was too small and there were too many defeated troops, fighting broke out among them in order to compete for the opportunity to escape.

Soon, the small-scale battle quickly evolved into a large-scale firefight, and many orcs who lost their minds even broke up and rushed towards the rear army formation again.

"Your Majesty the Marquis!"

"Don't worry, look again, the opponent's military formation has not wavered. We are delivering food now."

At this moment, in the orc rear army, Warren Isbell and others looked regretful.

"It's a pity that Matthew Ashan didn't take the bait. He was able to remain unmoved in the face of so many defeated soldiers who could be slaughtered at will."

"After all, he is a famous general with many years of experience. How can he be so easy to take the bait? The Snow Dragon Fortress only has a small amount of wealth in total. Matthew Yashan will not act rashly without being completely sure."

"Lord Warren, what should we do next?"

"What else can we do? It's just for us and the leaders of the tribes below to come forward to collect the defeated troops. Although the former army and Dahu suffered heavy losses, we still maintain a huge advantage over the Snow Dragon Fortress in terms of overall strength."

Soon, under the constraints of the clan chiefs, tribal leaders, and many orc strongmen, the frantic orc army was gradually gathered together.

The orc rear army's military formation did not waver, and Marquis Ashan's three thousand elite cavalry also stood still.

"Pity."

The commanders of both sides let out a regretful sigh in unison, and then led their troops back to camp slowly.

Fontaine Kingdom, capital city of Holy Spring City, noble council hall.

The parliament hall is spacious and bright, with golden tapestries shining brightly, highlighting the luxury and authority of the nobility. There are exquisite murals on the ceiling, telling the epic development process in the history of the kingdom.

In the center of the hall is a high podium with a golden scepter and crown placed on it, symbolizing the power and status of the nobility. There is a huge arched window behind the podium, and sunlight shines on the conference table through the stained glass, making the entire hall brighter.

Around the rectangular conference table, the royal family and the heads or representatives of twenty-two aristocratic families sat in attendance. They wore tall hats and sparkling jewelry, looking majestic and solemn.

In another circle, there are seats for hundreds of small and medium-sized nobles. Barons have the right to attend, and viscounts have the right to attend and vote. Together with the great nobles and the royal family, they form the core of national governance.

At this time, many congressmen and congress representatives were arguing, and the spittle flying everywhere almost hit the mural on the ceiling of the hall.

"The Orc Empire has long since declined, and more than 20 years ago, the Marquis of Ashan wiped out hundreds of thousands of troops in a battle! I don't think the Orc invasion will pose much of a threat, and there is no need to dispatch the kingdom's elite standing army.

Moreover, the Hessian Kingdom next door annexed the Olin Principality fifteen years ago. Our relationship with the Hessian Kingdom has always been very poor. Arrows that are not fired are the most threatening. We need the kingdom’s elite standing army to deter the Hessian Kingdom! "

"You fart!" Count Tumen, who also came from the north, couldn't help but yelled angrily.

"It is true that hundreds of thousands of orcs were destroyed last time, but most of the orcs who died were first- and second-level cannon fodder. Orcs have short lifespans and iterate quickly. They have long since recovered from the last war.

Is it a lie that the northern border is in danger from all sides now? Is it true that Marquis Ashan faced hundreds of thousands of second-level orc army or above?

If we don't send out a standing elite army now, do we have to wait until the northern border falls and the hinterland counties face the orcs directly before we send out troops to redress? "

"Among the ten standing elite legions, isn't there the Ice Peak Knights who are stationed in the Snow Dragon Fortress? The Ice Peak Knights are recognized as the kingdom's strongest army. Both the equipment and the quality of the soldiers are top-notch. Isn't this enough?

And you said that the northern border is in danger from all sides, and Marquis Ashan is facing an army of more than 100,000 second-level orcs and above? Who knows how much water was added. "

"Pierce, you are looking for death!"

"Fonst Tumen, please keep your mouth clean!"

Soon, the council hall once again became noisy and turned into a vegetable market. Several northern nobles even wanted to stage a full-scale martial arts show.

In the past fifty years, the nobles of the North have continued to expand towards the Orc Empire and received huge rewards.

Especially the national war that took place more than 20 years ago directly devoured the nobles of the North. The Northland aristocratic group suddenly became the most powerful force within the aristocracy.

Sooner or later, you will have to pay back the orcs. This time, the large-scale invasion of the orcs has allowed the nobles of the three borders of the east, west, south and the royal family to seize the opportunity to weaken the noble group in the north.

Just kidding, everyone can’t catch you, but can’t everyone pull you down if they work together?

Of course, this weakening is limited. The other three realm nobles and the royal family only intend to slightly delay the dispatch of the standing elite army, and they are not really willing to die.

Everyone will still abide by some underlying game rules tacitly. After all, things are changing, and you might be the next unlucky one.

At this moment, Count Jose, the Minister of Military Affairs who was on duty at the Louvre, suddenly broke into the parliament hall.

"Count Jose, what happened?" King Clovis I asked seriously.

Count Jose hesitated slightly and replied with a complicated expression:

"Your Majesty, we have just received news from Snow Dragon Fortress that Earl Norton has presented a new type of trebuchet with extraordinary power. Master alchemist Yelena has improved and made a hundred giant trebuchets.

The Marquis of Ashan used the new trebuchet to kill one Elephant Human Saint, thirteen Sun-level orcs, and more than a hundred Silver Moon-level orcs in one fell swoop. One person in the Lion Tribe Sanctuary was injured, and Westheit, the Crown Prince of the Orc Empire, was suspected of being seriously injured.

Then Marquis Ashan led the Ice Peak Knights and many masters to attack the enemy formation, causing the orc front army to collapse. Thirty thousand enemy troops were killed in this battle. "

For a moment, the entire parliament hall was silent. Everyone is full of doubts and disbelief at this moment.

"Is the Marquis of Ashan too powerful, or is it that Earl Norton has selflessly revealed his family's secrets, or is there something special about that master alchemist?"

For a time, the nobles and King Clovis I felt at a loss.

"Baron Elliphan, why don't you explain your new trebuchet?"

Count José, the Minister of Military Affairs, spoke out the sentiments of many present.

At this time, Elephant Norton, the representative of the Norton family, was the most confused person in the audience. He had seen a little bit of information about the new trebuchet in family letters before.

But in the letter, Elephant Norton's brother, Earl Norton, only mentioned it in passing, and didn't say that this thing was so powerful...
