In the middle of the night, the barracks of the Second Legion suddenly began to move. All the officers were woken up, and their soldiers were woken up as well. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Second Legion were well-rested, and they had recovered their spirits after taking turns to rest.
"Is everything going well?" Li Huailin asked Maccon about the current situation while waiting for the soldiers to gather.
"Uh, it's going well …" Maccon nodded. In the afternoon, the fifty thousand orc soldiers all dug a pit and buried themselves. When they dug the pit, they had no idea that the pit was prepared for them. After becoming captives, they naturally knew that they were doing hard labor. The humans asked them to work, so they naturally began to do it. Although they did not know why they were digging the pit, they did not ask any questions and just started digging. They kept digging until the human soldiers above them began to fill the pit with soil. Only then did they realize that things were bad. The other party actually wanted them to be buried alive. The problem was that they had dug too deep, and they could not climb up themselves. They had no weapons to resist. Above them were fully armed human soldiers. Once someone climbed up, they would mercilessly stab him with their swords. Resistance was futile. All the orc soldiers were buried alive amidst the constant cursing of the humans. The scene was extremely horrifying. Even the human soldiers could not stand it.
"Okay, that's good." Li Huailin asked casually. "What about the other situations? Has this matter been spread?"
"We haven't received any news yet, but I don't think we can keep it a secret for long. Some of the Nephilim soldiers escaped, and the Orcs had a few scouting teams outside. We've caught a few of them, but there are still a lot of them that we haven't caught yet. I'm guessing they've already gone to report," Maccon said.
"Well, forget it. Don't worry. There's no need to hide our whereabouts now," Li Huailin said.
"By the way, Marshal, you just said that you were going to attack the city. Are you going to attack Thekassar?" Maccon asked.
"Of course. Are there other cities nearby?" Li Huailin said. "What's the problem?"
"There should be no troops left in Thekassar, but it doesn't seem to be of any use even if we attack it. This is just a small city. Isn't our current goal to rescue the elves? Why did they have to spend time attacking such a small city? Shouldn't they be rushing to the battlefield? Now that we have regained our advantage in numbers, we can join forces with the elves to wipe out the orc army … "Maccon said excitedly. Unfortunately, he was interrupted by Li Huailin before he could finish.
"Destroy my ass." Li Huailin said, "Think about the current situation."
"What's the situation now?" Mack asked curiously.
"Do you think we can defeat the two beastmen if we join forces with the elves?" Li Huailin asked.
"This … should be possible," Macken said after thinking for a moment.
"You actually thought for two seconds? This is definitely a f * cking instant kill. Do you think I can't beat him? "Li Huailin said.
"I'm sorry, Marshal, but if we can defeat them, why don't we do it?" McCain asked.
"Why should we fight? Wipe out the orc army so that the elves can take over the orc's territory? " Li Huailin spread his hands and said, "The orcs have just taken over a lot of the elves' land. The worst thing is that they actually slaughtered the elves. Now, the elves and the orcs must be at loggerheads. If that's the case, why don't we let them have a good fight?"
"This … let them have a good fight?" Macken thought for a moment. "That's not good."
"Not good? What's not good about it? Our goal is to raise the elves like dogs. The purpose of this attack is to tell the elves that they can bite without worry. I, the master, will support them. That's all. If they don't bite, why do we need to raise them? "Li Huailin said.
"Hmm … Marshal, do you mean that we just need to ensure that the elves are not killed by the orcs and that they have the ability to fight back?" McCain said after some thought.
"Right now, the elves still have 90,000 troops, while the orcs have about 150,000. The orcs still have a slight advantage. My goal is to reduce the number of troops on both sides to about 60,000 to 70,000 … That way, there shouldn't be any big problems," Li Huailin said.
"Reduce both sides to 60,000?" McCain was a little surprised. It was fine to reduce the orcs to 60,000, but to reduce the elves as well?
"Yes, that's it." Li Huailin nodded. "This time, it's settled once and for all. At this number, both sides should only be fighting small-scale battles."
"Then … What should we do now? What does attacking Seekasl City have to do with this? "McCain asked.
"Right now, we … need reinforcements," Li Huailin suddenly said.
"Reinforcements?" McCain asked curiously. The Second Legion had lost a total of more than 3,000 people in two battles, and most of them were infantrymen. The main force was not lost at all. The 90,000 troops were still here. Why would they need reinforcements? And where would they get reinforcements now?
"I heard that the leader of the First Legion of the orcs, Colbart, is a very good fighter. It's all because of this guy that we were able to take down Surina City, right?" Li Huailin suddenly said out of the blue.
"Yes." McCain had naturally read all the information long ago. He immediately replied, "This Colbart is the number one warrior of the orcs. He's very strong, and he's also very good at strategy. It was all because of this guy that we were able to attack Surina City. Not only did we defeat the Second and Third Legion of the Elves, but we also successfully took down the incomparably sturdy Surina City. It's a perfect battle record."
"That's good. Call Veronica over," Li Huailin said.
"Oh, yes, Marshal!" McCain was a little confused, but he still nodded.
Veronica was soon brought to Li Huailin's camp. At this time, Li Huailin was looking at the big map beside him.
"Marshal!" Veronica immediately saluted.
"Veronica, look at this part of the road." Li Huailin pointed to a road on the map and said, "If it were you, where would you set up the ambush?"
"Ambush?" Veronica walked to the side of the map and looked at it. She then pointed to a place and said, "Judging from the terrain, this should be the best place. It's surrounded by mountains, similar to the place where we ambushed the Demons."
"Is it here … Hmm … No, the leader of the elves is Selena. Although this guy will get carried away for a while, the place is too far away. Selena might be able to react. In this case, the ambush should be somewhere further ahead, such as here …" Li Huailin pointed to another place and said.
"Here … The terrain is slightly more open than the previous place, but it's also a good place for an ambush." Veronica nodded. "Marshal, why are you asking me this? Are we going to ambush the elves? "
"I'm just choosing the location of the decisive battle," Li Huailin said with a smile. "By the way, I asked you to look for reinforcements. We don't have enough troops."
"Huh?" Veronica was stunned. 90,000 troops are not enough? What kind of war are we fighting?
"In short, you …" Li Huailin instructed Veronica, and she nodded.
"Marshal, the soldiers are ready." At this time, Maccon also came in to report.
"Great, then let's attack the city directly," Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
City Lord Jia Kebo had already received the news. He was the first to receive the news that the second orc legion had been completely annihilated by the humans. Yesterday afternoon, he had already seen black smoke in the direction of the orc barracks in the distance. He felt that something was amiss and sent people to check it out. In the end, he bumped into an orc scout who had escaped halfway. After asking, he was shocked to learn that the second orc legion had been ambushed by the humans and had been completely annihilated.
Jia Kebo was so scared that he peed his pants. On the one hand, he hurriedly sent people to report the current emergency situation in the orc's main city. On the other hand, he immediately began to prepare to defend the city. The other party's next target might be his city, but the problem was that there were less than 1,000 teams in the city now. How could they defend against 90,000 troops? He thought that staying next to the second orc legion's camp was the safest, but he did not expect such a thing to happen.
Jia Kebo did not want to give up his city. After all, it was a city that he had managed for many years. Now, he could only hope that the human troops would not attack him. If they wanted to attack, they would have to wait for his reinforcements to arrive. Unfortunately, things did not go according to his wishes. In the middle of the night, Jia Kebo was woken up by the sound of an alarm.
"City Lord, the human army is attacking the city!" a soldier beside him hurriedly said.
"We're finished!" Jia Kebo's first reaction was that they were finished. Although they had the city's defenses, the difference in numbers was too great. The other party's numbers were 100 times their own. How could they defend?
"Run, hurry up and run!" Jia Kebo immediately said.
"We can't, City Lord. The human army has blocked all directions. We can't get out at all!" the soldier said.
"Isn't … Isn't this doomed?" Jia Kebo instantly panicked.
"Report! The enemy has broken through the west gate, and the enemy has already entered the city! "another soldier rushed over to report.
"City Lord, let's disguise ourselves and quickly blend into the crowd. As long as we don't get caught, we still have a chance to escape," the soldier beside him immediately suggested.
"This … This is a good idea." Jia Kebo panicked. This was a good idea. As long as he didn't get caught, he would still be able to escape when the human army left or the orc army returned. So he immediately nodded. He took a few skilled guards, changed into civilian clothes, and escaped from the City Lord's Mansion with his family.
On the other side, Li Huailin was standing at the foot of the city, looking at the signal that appeared on the west gate. There wasn't much to say about this siege. The other party's numbers were too small, and their morale was very low. The human army just needed to set up ladders and climb up. The soldiers on the other side couldn't defend so many places. After fighting for half an hour, the west gate was broken through. After that, the majority of the army rushed in, and the battle was over.
Soon, all four city gates were broken through, and the city gates were opened. All of the Beast Race soldiers either died in battle or surrendered, and the battle immediately ended.
"Reporting to the Marshal, we've broken into the City Lord's Mansion, but there's no one inside," a soldier ran to Li Huailin and reported.
"The City Lord, Jia Kebo must be hiding," Maccon said.
"It doesn't matter," Li Huailin waved his hand and said, "I'm going to massacre the city anyway. Let's see where he can hide."
"Massacre the city?" Maccon said in surprise.
