Chapter 287 The Stark Line

In order to transfer troops in advance, Arcado secretly transferred 30,000 orc troops out of the elf forest, secretly sent these two orc divisions to a desolate area in the middle reaches of the Dorfos River, and then took over the defense line in that desolate area and replaced the human defenders.

Then Arcado secretly withdrew and transferred about 30,000 defenders on the Dofoss River defense line, which finally raised 60,000 troops. This unit came out day and night and was transported to the Elf Forest.

The reason why he did not draw troops from the Arante area is that Akado is afraid of being mobilized by the resourceful Yue Wushen to find out the mobilization of front-line troops.

In this way, on the basis of high confidentiality, the Shengjian Principality troops of 4 divisions, a total of 60,000, and 30,000 recruits recruited from China to support the Elf Forest, secretly rushed to the Elf Forest.

The human army, which has been strengthened by 90,000 people, has gathered 240,000 troops in the Elves Forest. Although there are more than 30,000 recruits, the remaining 210,000 troops are not put together, but the most elite troops in the Holy Sword Duchy, including the first skeleton division, the devil's third division, and the 7th and 8th main tank divisions.

After months of replenishment, these troops have sufficient ammunition and high morale. They are highly respected and loved in the forest of elves, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

In order to cooperate with the regent's 240,000 army, the Elf Forest prepared 150,000 cavalry and elite infantry to fight in cooperation with the expeditionary forces of the Principality of the Holy Sword, formed the fist of the Elf Forest and deployed in the front of the fortress of the Gestak fortress.

The remaining 1.6 million elves were deployed on the long line of defense, waiting for the fierce attack of the upcoming Orc Empire.

After a winter of recuperation, the front-line troops of the Orc Empire have been unprecedentedly strengthened. 500,000 new recruits have been added to the Elf Forest, and the total number of orc troops everywhere has reached 2.1 million. With a large number of war beasts and Bimon warriors, the combat effectiveness of the Orc Empire can be said to be the time of attacking the Elf Forest last year. More than 2 times.

On the long line of defense, because it is really afraid of the magic cannons, tanks and other weapons of the Holy Sword Principality, the Orc Empire has to adopt many tactics that were not used at all.

On the front of the Gestak Fortress, the orcs have arranged three lines of defense. The first line of defense is a huge 5 meters deep dig to prevent the passage of the opponent's cavalry. Such a trench makes the commanders of the Holy Sword Principality on the opposite side feel distressed - such a good labor force should be used on the repair road. How nice.

The second line of defense is countless small pits. These small pits are not big or not small. The door inside is empty, or there are Bemon beasts hidden to resist the shelling of the Holy Sword Principality, and then when the tank approaches, you can kill the hole to destroy the tank.

The third line of defense is an ordinary trench and infantry phalanx, which is the main body of the whole defense line, that is, which belongs to this array. Tens of thousands of orc soldiers guard the defense line and are ready to cooperate with Bimon to repel possible human attacks.

In addition, there are more than 100,000 wolf knight troops in the whole defense line who are responsible for maneuvering and reinforce the attacked areas at any time. The whole defense line was designed by the elders of the fox clan and General Kotula to withstand human attacks in the long winter.

This defense zone was highly expected by the beast emperor Wipton and personally named the Gestak Defense Line. It is named after the first fortress of the elves behind the defense line. In the ancient elves, it means "unable to be captured".

In fact, the orcs still have more than 500,000 troops, but they have no choice but to deploy these 500,000 troops on the long coastline in order to cope with the haunted Second Fleet of the Holy Sword Principality Navy and the newly established Second Division of Marine Corps.

In contrast, the Principality of Sword has saved a lot of coastal defense troops because of its absolute right to control the sea, and only retains a patrol team of more than 10,000 people.

Since the orcs have prepared a defense line, they naturally look forward to the large-scale attack of humans and elves. However, what makes the orcs more depressed is that throughout the long winter, the elf forest and human troops have no intention of attacking. They also build a defense line to refresh themselves, and do not take a step forward.

In fact, both sides have been accumulating strength desperately throughout the winter, looking forward to defeating their opponents in one fell swoop, because neither the orc Wipton or the sword king Arcado, do not want to drag the battle, and no one wants to waste too much troops on the oil-free battlefield.

As a result, everyone is consolidating their defense line, but they have missed the "best opportunity to attack their opponents". But the arrival of the warm climate has made the whole elf forest full of war clouds again.

Acardo has rushed to the Elf Forest with the 90,000 reinforcements, and 90,000 troops have joined the main force of the expeditionary Force of the Principality of the Holy Sword, and Arcado himself has now arrived in the royal city of Oniklos and met Doris, the Elf Queen.

As soon as they met, Arcado retreated and stated in detail the difficulties at this stage: "Your Majesty Doris, the Duchy of the Holy Sword has begun to fight on both fronts. There is a lack of preparation time, and the strength in the elf forest is not enough to fight back."

The Queen also knew that the current situation was not optimistic, so she thought about it and asked, "Is there any good way for us to face this crisis?"

"That's waiting! Stagger the time of the two-line battle!" Arcado said with a smile.

Doris narrowed her eyes and paused and sighed: "Alas, now many ministers in the Elf Forest advocate taking the lead in attacking and recovering the lost land. Your decision is undoubtedly pouring a basin of cold water."

"It's better to pour cold water than to die. It's better to make a strategy according to the actual situation than to listen to those inexperienced rotten remarks. Sometimes you really need to fight for your face, but sometimes your face is given by others, and you can't fight for it. Arcado looked at Queen Doris and said.

The queen sat on a chair beside her and looked up at Arcado: "If we can launch an attack first, then we can take the initiative, and the location of the decisive battle can also be chosen by us. Another thing is that we can give confidence to all the elves."

"The confidence of the elves is very fragile! Your Majesty! You know better than me what the consequences will be if the attack is blocked!" Arcado said seriously, "The location of the decisive battle will not be anywhere else. Those places are not important! Gestark is the focus of the competition between the two sides! So the benefits you said are not tenable at all.

"Then find a reason to explain this to the ministers." Doris shook her head helplessly. Originally, she also agreed to take the lead in launching a counterattack, but she had to give up.

"Reason?" Arcado smiled and said loudly, "Full defense! What the regent said is the reason.

After a brief meeting, Arcado hurried back to Romer City and carefully prepared for the Battle of Arante.
