Reborn NPC: I'm really not the protagonist!

"Sorry for disturbing you."

When Simon opened the door with dissatisfaction, a strange male elf appeared in everyone's sight.

Alice and others looked at Hill.

Hill was not a stranger to him. This man was none other than her clansman, the chosen one of God who had previously stayed with those believers of Slaughter.

At this moment, he was staring at Hill. Obviously, there was a very urgent situation....

"........."

Hill sighed helplessly, walked to the door, and took the unconscious Simon aside. Then he looked at the elf: "Ansel... You should be in the vanguard now... What happened?"

An army of 90,000 is no small number, so they naturally set out in batches. Even though Hill is still in the Free City at this time, the first batch of prepared legions had actually set out long ago, and should have reached the border between the Free Territory and the Orc Territory by now.

"This is not a solution. Those soldiers have no will to fight!"

The elf immediately spoke in a deep voice: "Our vanguard just crossed the orc territory the day before yesterday. We have not encountered any orc troops yet. We only encountered a reconnaissance group of dozens of people. As a result, the result..."

"As a result, the orc reconnaissance group took the initiative to charge forward, and our troops collapsed at the first blow."

Hill took over the conversation and said faintly: "Is that so?"

"If Jue Bingwei hadn't stabilized the morale of the army, I'm afraid the entire army would have been dispersed by a reconnaissance group!"

Ansel nodded, very seriously: "It's just a reconnaissance group that scares them like that. I really don't know how to resist the main force of the orcs."

"Hey...."

Hill was silent for a long time and sighed silently.

Since ancient times, those who have not been generals do not like shiny helmets and armor, but only like troops as strong as tigers and wolves. This is the truth.

At present, the army of Liberty Shield should have conditions that would make all other armies jealous. Whether it is armor and weapons, or military pay and food, they are all fully supplied.

If such resources were given to the orcs, Qiongnu would be able to squeeze out at least another 100,000 troops.

Even judging from the numbers, an army with such supplies and equipment may not be able to defeat the powerful orcs one-on-one, but two against one can definitely be easily defeated.

However, a vanguard force of at least a thousand people was defeated by dozens of orcs. You can imagine what kind of scene that was...

But....this was more or less within her expectations.

After all, apart from the Shield of Freedom, the longest-trained legion of the Legion, apart from the Shield of Absolution, is only five months. Even the Absolute Guards are a group of guerrillas with varying combat capabilities. It's simply that their morale is high enough.

What they have to face is that they have to fight a fair war every year for the status of the parliament, and they have to fight with the elves and the orcs of the empire every year.

Orcs are inherently ferocious, especially when they rush towards the enemy in large numbers with dull and depressing horns. It is even more terrifying. You have to know that in the last life, the only ones who dared to confront the orcs head-on, besides the Undead, were the Imperial Legion.

So Hill didn't expect at the beginning that the Western Expedition Army could defeat the orcs head-on.

"Stop at the border and confront the orcs. Let the Shield Guards and the Absolute Guards strengthen defense."

Thinking of this, she pondered for a moment and said helplessly: "The orc army is farther away from the orc territory. At this time, their main force is traveling day and night. I originally wanted to cut off their connection with the kingdom before they entered the orc territory. Now it seems that I was a little naive..."

"I see,"

Ansel nodded, and looked anxiously: "But what if the orc army arrives? Now we have the Shield Guards blocking us, and their local troops dare not move. But once the army arrives... I'm afraid we will be defeated before the battlefield set up for the Chosen One is completed."

"Then find a way not to die so ugly!"

Hill frowned and stared at Ansel with cold eyes.

She had indeed anticipated and prepared for this, but it was really annoying to hear a leader, even one of her own clan, say such discouraging words at every turn.

So she said coldly: "What you should consider is how to win, not thinking about losing before the fight even starts."

"...You are right."

Ansel was stunned, and after a moment of silence, he nodded silently. It was not because Hill had inspired his glory as a commander, but because as the descendant of the great Father God, he should indeed think so...

In fact, he and most of the followers of Slaughter were not afraid, and even wanted to establish their own glory through war, but the current situation did make him consider too much.

"Let them know what they are fighting for. Let them hold their weapons firmly before the orc army arrives. That's what you have to do. I will figure out the rest."

Hill turned around, waved, and then stopped: "Can you do this?"

When your boss asks you if you can do it, you can often just translate it into "You must do it for me."

So after Ansel was stunned, he immediately pounded his chest and said, "Next time, the First Legion will definitely fight to the last man!"

"Before you leave, go to the camp and find Judd to lead the First Cavalry Team away."

"boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hill closed the door, obviously not intending to keep Ansel for tea.

Ansel didn't want to delay any longer, or perhaps he was afraid that Hill would change his mind, so he hurried towards the teleportation array.

The First Cavalry Corps is an elite force composed of the best soldiers selected from various legions. It has better equipment and training, and its morale and loyalty are more guaranteed.

These five hundred people can basically replace the five thousand people of the First Legion!

Unfortunately, even the versatile and useful Chosen One cannot mass-produce horses…

"Ugh...."

Compared to the excited Ansel, Hill inside the door looked completely different.

As the first army to go out, the First Army was already the best-performing unit in the Western Expedition Army, but the result was such a horrible situation...

But this is not Ansel's fault. After all...the First Legion was not fully prepared, and it was Hill's order to advance early.

She really wanted to take a gamble, betting that the First Legion, as the longest-trained legion, would not collapse so easily, and would be able to withstand the pressure of a small number of orc vanguards and seize the orc territory before the arrival of the enemy army.

If this is the case, then the next thing will be extremely simple. All you need to do is set up a battlefield, recruit the chosen ones, and withstand the initial offensive pressure. The entire Western Expedition will gain absolute strategic initiative from the very beginning, no... in other words, win the war directly from the beginning.

However, the result was not satisfactory. In order to save the First Legion, Hill had to order them to stop to avoid further collapse and the annihilation of 10,000 troops.

The consequence of doing so was that now she could only watch helplessly as the powerful Qiongnu led the tribal coalition forces into the orc territory;

At the same time, this also means that the next battle will be accompanied by constant changes in the battlefield, the mobilization of the legions, and the mutual attack and defense will become outflanking, sneak attacks, and assaults, rather than just attacking and defending. Hill's advantage as the Chosen One will be greatly reduced, and the hair and the lives of the soldiers will also face more severe challenges...

The defeat of the vanguard was like a declaration, telling Hill...

Prepare for an honest war!
