Vol 8 Chapter 578: The orcs fled!

"Isn't this guy lying to me ... Augustine is dead? One hundred thousand undead army? Are you sure this is correct?"
Inside Hollier, Sally screamed in shock at the contents of the letter in her hand. Compared with the sadness of a dozen days ago, Duke Everta at this time can be described as easily running away from the 40,000 orc army who had gathered in the territory and died. According to the report from Elson City yesterday The report of the war, the number of prisoners of war alone exceeded 4,000, enough to imagine what a terrible victory ...
However, it is more frightening. A handwritten letter after Roddy's return makes Sally almost doubt whether this is a ghostwriter and her prank as a duke. The pattern she sees is naturally much higher than that of ordinary people. If Augustine dies, then the future Tasman Kingdom can almost be removed from the list of "Threats to Ivtar", and even consider Tasman to some extent to obtain scarce resources!
One hundred thousand dead were submerged by the flood, in exchange for the stability of Everta for decades to come.
"I don't think the Prime Minister will lie, nor will he make a joke."
Titus reminded: "If others say that, I may doubt the authenticity. But when I know the Prime Minister, he always seems to remind me that his imagination is not rich enough ..."
The big knight shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If the old duke saw this letter, he would be pleased with the decision he had made."
Sally dropped her hand slowly, holding the letter. She pursed her lips, thinking about the scene where her father, Lucy Fron, was standing in front of the map with Roddy, telling the pros and cons.
His father was killed by the undead, and he died in the end to defend Everta. This great hatred made Sally wait for a fight with Augustin herself, but as long as her head was normal for a day, she knew it was completely unrealistic. The dispute between nations is not a hooligan fight, let alone a duke?
But now she has witnessed the miracle with her own eyes: Roddy directly knocked on the door, not only razed the foundation of the undead army, but also killed the powerful undead monarch. Unreal.
But after sorrow, Sally's heart was more joy and pride. Fortunately, she insisted on her own idea at first, instead of marrying a noble to marry with each other, but step by step to find this always amazing guy ...
"I don't know if this wood is hurt ..."
Sally had no idea about Augustine's powerhouse. She asked Titus, and the latter shook her head. The strongest guy the two had ever seen was the undead Magda who had attacked in Hollier. But think about how Augustine can dominate the entire Tasman, how should he be much better than that guy.
However, Roddy fulfilled his strategic purpose perfectly. There was also a rush in Sally's heart. She didn't want to reach a conclusion of "lying to win" because she didn't do anything, so she immediately asked: "Should we be able to surround the Orc's last unit now? They have now lost their backbone, and I'm afraid it will collapse at the touch. "
"I think so too, Lord Duke. The Knights of Wellington are not far from the fort occupied by the orcs. He led the soldiers to encircle the soldiers from three sides, which should be the most suitable choice at present."
"Then decide so, it must be done as soon as possible!"
The plan was finalized, and Sally couldn't wait to start writing her order. Although the invaded war lasted only two months, Sally actually learned a lot. Titus was a qualified commander. His analysis of the battlefield situation and the judgment of the enemy's strength were always in place. But because of this, Sally was fully aware of how cowardly Everta was now.
The aristocracy was low and the soldiers were not trained. Peace for too long has almost lost the ability of Everta to fight back orcs on land.
If it wasn't for the Duke of Angmar to prepare for this war nearly a year in advance, if it was not for the firm implementation of the "defend offensive" policy, I am afraid that most of these hard-to-get forces now would be crushed in front of the orc army Cannon fodder.
She had heard Roddy talk about the power of the Orcs, but at that time she had no specific concept. However, when the results of the war were presented in cold data, Sally had no excuse to deny Roddy's conclusion. Weakness is weakness. Orcs can explode most of the aristocratic private soldiers even without wearing armor, not to mention Everta. Just look at the middle and eastern parts of the kingdom that has been flattened by Sauron ...
"Be sure to cut off the roots!"
Sally wanted to completely kill the orcs in Everta's army, but she did not expect that on the third day after the order was issued, when the three-way army led by the Knights of Wellington finally surrounded the orc's fortress, it was already here. An empty city!
The orcs fled!
This escape is not a runaway, but a planned retreat. The weight, weapons, and armor were taken away in full, and the rest could be set on fire and burned, or left unattended, apparently full of accurate strategic intent.
And because they did not carry out mass killings after the occupation, many humans survived in the city. According to their words, these orcs who originally guarded the city made a sudden retreat decision after an orc general entered the city.
Before that, when the orc guard of the city guard saw Duda withdrawing with 400 remnants, he could not accept the fact that all the troops were almost completely destroyed by the army. He refused to execute the retreat order and now the orc was thrown away. Under the corpse wall, more than a dozen orc corpses were still trying to resist and trouble.
"Retreating so decisively? It doesn't look like orcish style."
The Knights of Wellington have fought with orcs more than a dozen times during this time ~ EbookFREE.me ~ You also know the character of these green-skinned barbarians. With the IQ of the orcs, it is difficult for anyone other than Sauron to give up the Karen Kingdom boldly and choose to roll back to the grassland.
Judging by the traces, these orc troops have been evacuated for three days. The hundreds of elite soldiers under Wellington still have the ability to pursue, but the rest of the soldiers who are patched up by the rangers are useless, so he can only watch the orcs. Leaving Karen's border and returning to the prairie to rest ...
The news came to Sally, which dulled the duke's good mood for a long time. However, when she received a new letter from Roddy, she immediately smiled. In order to formulate a strategic policy after the war, Roddy was planning to hold another "cabinet meeting", which also meant that he would arrive in Hollier City in three days. , Chairing the meeting as "Prime Minister of Cabinet."
"Master Duke, although the crisis of orcs and undead has disappeared, there are still things to be dealt with to the east. After the war, people ’s livelihoods are dying, and restoration and construction are also a big issue. The Prime Minister has a lot to discuss ..."
When Titus saw that Sally had a smile on her mouth, she knew that she had no intention of thinking about the territory. At this time, after reminding her, Sally also blushed and confessed her mistakes, and then obediently picked up the letter sent by the Finance Minister and listed it. The outline of the meeting ...
