Chapter 331 Changes
"We have to change the tactics appropriately, General Edward, or we will spend a hundred years here with the Orc Empire." Tessa suggested putting down the telescope.
"Yeah, that's what I think. Let's change the central breakthrough into two wings! Close the third line of defense, and then use the orc troops to persuade them to surrender to see if it can have any effect. Edward looked at the map and said.
"What if we make a retreat?" Tessa looked at the map and asked Edward, "What would the orc general think?"
"If I were a general of the orcs and the enemy retreated at this time, then I would feel that it was a manifestation of the exhaustion of offensive power." Edward thought carefully for a while, and then answered Tessa, "I will fight back."
"We have nibbled down the second line of defense, which has basically been destroyed. If the orcs take back the second line of defense that have just been lost, will it be more beneficial to us?"
"What if the orcs are not fooled?" Edward asked with a smile.
"That's just a dozen more kilometers we walked. The attack of the two wings was held as scheduled, and we didn't lose anything." Tessa said with a smile.
"Well, do as you say, but to pass this order to the three armies, we must not disturb the hearts of the army and let every soldier know that we are not without the ability to attack, but a way to seduce the enemy." Edward added.
"Yes!" After that, Tessa turned around and began to deploy tasks to the staff.
On the morning of this day, the combined forces of the Sword Empire and the Elf Forest suspended their attack on the outer defense line of the third road of Stark, and the whole army turned into a state of rest.
Then the orc wolf knight scouted and found that the enemy on the opposite side was slowly retreating. Although it was not obvious, it was indeed gathering backwards.
In the afternoon, the orcs were in the highest command in the Gestak fortress, the third prince, Bailer, the second prince Gu Lie, and the old orc general General Joseph received the news of the enemy's retreat.
"Have you confirmed it? Third Highness." Joseph asked the third prince, Berler, that his Wolf Knight troops were the first to confirm the retreat of the enemy.
"Confirmed!" Bailer nodded and replied.
"The attack of humans and elves has stopped, which proves that the other party's power has been exhausted! This is a good time for our orc empire to fight back! Take back the defense we lost, and maybe we can recapture the west coast of Oniquelos and reorganize the attack on Oniklos!" Gu Lie looked at the map and analyzed it.
"You can't be fooled! Your Highness! This is a typical trick to lure the enemy deeply! Their sudden retreat must be to bring us out and defeat us!" Old General Joseph shook his head and said.
"But we are not sure of their true purpose. If the enemy really retreats rather than lure, we will miss an excellent opportunity to fight back." Gu Lie looked at the map and said.
"I am the commander-in-chief of this defensive operation, and I can't let my troops participate in the counterattack." Joseph said firmly, "I must ensure the absolute security of the Gestak defense line and the Gestak fortress. This is the task given to me by the Beast Emperor!"
"A coward!" Gu Lie smashed the table fiercely: "It is the act of a coward to avoid war!"
"Your Highness! I don't think it's a coward to follow the orders of the Beast Emperor to hold the position! If you insist on attacking, I ask to report to the Beast Emperor!" Joseph is also an old general and refutes without giving Gu Lie any face.
"That's it. Give me the reserve team. If I find signs of a counterattack, I will retreat! How about it?" Gu Lie insisted.
"If the reserve team is handed over to you, the Stark Fortress will be empty! At least 200,000 people must be placed in such a fortress to ensure that it is foolproof. Joseph still doesn't buy it.
"Stop arguing! Well, let Gu Lie lead 150,000 troops to attack. If something goes wrong, return immediately!" Bailer said in a round.
"It's a taboo to divide troops! Third Highness!" Joseph quickly persuaded him.
"There's no way. Who told you to quarrel endlessly?" Bailer snorted coldly.
"Think about it again." Gu Lie said on the edge of the table.
Just as the orc generals are arguing about whether to regain their lost positions, Caen, the holy city of the distant sacred empire.
Pope Arnold carefully played with the unusual ring in his hand, and his eyes glowed fiercely: "Damn Adams Empire, Damn Fortress Empire, Damn Northern Holy Empire, Damn Eternal Night Empire! Damn Sword Empire! Damn it! You all deserve to die!"
He threw the ring on the table impatiently, lay down and roared loudly, "Sooner or later, I will make you people worse than death!"
Gradually, he fell asleep in resentment and pain. In the dream, he was strangling a person's neck. The man, wearing the emperor's clothes, struggled bitterly under him, and screamed heartbreakingly, but he ignored it and kept pinching that person's neck until the other party did not move.
Then he stood up and began to look for the next target. One after another in the emperor's clothes were killed by him. The more he killed, the more excited he became and the happier he became.
Suddenly, a man in the same emperor's clothes appeared in front of him. Arnold just wanted to kill him, but found that it was his own father Chris, and then his grandfather, Pope Dovilia: "Arnold! Come and kill us! Come on! Come on! Come on!"
Arnold struggled in his nightmare, tearing his chest with his hands, kicking his feet, making a low cry, but he couldn't wake up.
The ring on the bedside table suddenly emitted a dark light, with strange fluctuations, and the whole room was filled with a cold atmosphere, as if countless grievances were wandering here.
A deep hoarse voice echoed in the room: "How many years? I finally broke free. That's great! Great! Destruction! Destruction! Let this world that owes my life come to an end! Hem, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha."
"As for you, poor man, as compensation for keeping this ring, I will fulfill a few wishes for you and kill the people you hate, including yourself! Hey hey hey hey hey." The voice smiled sinisterly.
The dark light overflowing from the ring is becoming more and more solid, and the last point forms a human shape. Although it is still a little erratic, it is indeed a human form.
"Okay, that's it. I think you're tired too." The human-shaped black light said gently to Arnold. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the painful Arnold calm down and the kicked quilt fell on the ground by the bed.
"See you another day, His Holiness!" After saying that, the black light pushed open the window and jumped down, disappeared in an instant, and the room returned to its usual appearance. A maid pushed the door in, closed the open window, covered Arnold's quilt, looked around nothing strange, turned around and closed the door and went out.
"My strength is still too weak. It seems that I need some helpers, so where can I find helpers?" Such an ethereal word came from afar from the sky.
