Chapter 770.1: Medieval War
— Marquis, aren't there 300,000 warriors under your command? If we don't have enough strength, we will...
— Enough talk, I can allocate a maximum of 80.000, don't ask for more, period.
It wasn't that the Marquis didn't want to involve more people — he just couldn't. Of the 300,000 warriors under his command, 200,000 were already in the Grand Canyon under the command of Duke Edward Hewlett.
According to common sense, the Marquis shouldn't have sent his men to the Grand Canyon. He was finally going to recapture the fortress of the Black Earth Plain. Why would he even send his men to support another front line at a time like this?
But Marquis Mark was forced to do so. The status of a duke and a marquis was not on the same level. Marquis Mark didn't dare refute the duke's order. Moreover, many interests and levers of influence were involved in this case.
At this moment, a knight in silver armor on a fast horse suddenly rode up to them. After jumping down from his horse, the silver — armored knight didn't even let it stop before landing smoothly and immediately spoke, " Count Mark, His Majesty has ordered an urgent transfer of troops to the Black Earth Plains. Since the Count had not been involved in military affairs for many years, Carlos, the former second-in-command of the Legion, would be in charge of all matters for the duration of the Black Earth Plain fighting. His Majesty has sent 300,000 soldiers to reinforce and retake the front line in the Black Earth Plain. Mark, please return to Gotbia as soon as possible, this is a personal order from His Majesty, " and after saying all this, the knight took out a dagger that was studded with precious stones.
When everyone saw this dagger, they immediately fell to their knees.
— Like you just did... Called me? Marquis Mark swallowed.
— Count Mark.
Hearing these words, Marquis Mark-no, Count Mark now-fell from his horse.
— In addition, His Majesty ordered to investigate the reconstruction of the fortress that was carried out 14 years ago, as well as...
Count Mark could hear no more. His ears were ringing. Marquises who inherited their titles were generally not demoted unless they committed a crime that was punishable by beheading...
The Marquis who had previously been so majestic was lying limply on the ground.
The officials who had previously flattered him retreated a few steps back.
When the fact that his title has undergone drastic changes becomes known, his life will be in danger. Carlos ' status skyrocketed — he was promoted from "deputy commander" to "commander" of an entire front in just a moment.
Based on the official positions of the empire, he was now much more influential than Mark.
— When will the reinforcements arrive? Carlos took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
— In one day at most, they would eventually be transferred here from the Grand Canyon.
— Very good, " Carlos said, pulling the adjutant close and saying a few words to him.
— Legion Commander, aren't we in too much of a hurry? Reinforcements will be arriving soon, why don't we...
The relationship between the adjutant and Carlos was obviously unusual, but everyone knew when to change their attitude, and now the adjutant addressed Carlos as the most ordinary commander.
— We don't need to wait for reinforcements. It would be very good if those bastards garrisoned the fortress. The worst thing is not that they will hold the fortress, but that they will destroy the fortress from the inside. Don't forget that their goal is to invade our territories, " Carlos said and sighed. Although this attack will result in a staggering number of casualties, this war has already gone so far that everyone has already forgotten about the casualties as such. As the saying goes, having mercy wasn't a good warrior, and Carlos was quite ruthless, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to rise to that status.
— I understand, " the adjutant replied, and immediately began relaying the order to his subordinates, and they began to pass it on.
The attack on the Chernozem Fortress has officially begun.
As the army advanced, the fortress in front of Su Xiao grew larger, and soon, he couldn't see anything but the huge wall in front of him.
The Tribal Union Army was stationed in front of the fortress. Contrary to all norms, they did not use the fortress, but placed troops in front of it.
Most of the tribe's army consisted of "orcs". In fact, "orcs "was just a general term that included bullheads, and more simply" Tauren", dogheads, simpler" kobolds", lionheads and other non-human races. With the exception of their heads, their bodies were mostly similar to humans, except that their average height was about 2.5 meters.
Of course, the Tribal Alliance's army included not only orcs, but also goblins and dwarves. All the goblins were green and were ugly. As for the dwarves, they were about 1.3 meters tall on average. Although they were naturally short, they liked to grow taller by other means. The vast majority of dwarves had beards and exceptionally stocky physiques. They wielded either a short-handled warhammer or a broad-bladed axe.
Most orcs were mere cannon fodder, with the exception of Tauren, while dwarves were mostly artisans. Often, even the most ordinary dwarf had a good talent in blacksmithing, which made him more valuable than most other races. Of course, the dwarves were also very strong and were the backbone of the Tribal Alliance's armies. Their combat effectiveness was second only to trolls.
As for the goblins, they were good at alchemy and often had a good talent for magic. Despite their short stature, they were experts in military affairs. All the magical weapons of the Tribal Alliance were created by them.
Trolls, on the other hand, were overwhelmingly not very intelligent, but their bodies and skin were naturally incredibly strong and strong, plus their skin was resistant to magic, which made them a kind of fighting machine. However, trolls multiplied very poorly, which is why they entered into battles only at critical moments..
In terms of strength, the Tribal Alliance army was about twice the size of the current Dragon Empire army, but most of the Tribal Alliance army was made up of orcs, " cannon fodder».
Even so, it was hard to say who would win in the end.
