GOR Chapter 626 "Battle Achievements"
The Duke of the Tulip Family defeated the enemy on the eastern front and recovered the fallen eastern stronghold.
Following that, a series of small-scale battles broke out on the eastern front.
In June, the humans began to rebuild the stronghold. Du Wei proposed a new idea. They abandoned the northern wall and used the more complete southern wall of the stronghold to build a new line of defense.
The humans sent tens of thousands of workers to the north and the central stronghold quickly added a division of reinforcements for Du Wei.
From mid-June to the end of June, in a short half month, the sinners launched six small scale attacks on the northern bank of the river.
The human army defended the river bank to the death and both sides paid a heavy price. The river bank was once occupied by the sinners but relying on the powerful charge of the thunder cavalry, the orcs no longer had an absolute advantage in field battles. There were even a few times when the humans, under Du Wei's command, deliberately gave up the river bank and let the enemy's small army cross the river before launching the thunder cavalry to attack the enemy's formation.
During this time, the orcs' wolf cavalry and thunder cavalry clashed three more times and the thunder cavalry won all three times — of course, it must be said that the sinners sent out a limited number of wolf cavalry and the thunder cavalry maintained the advantage in numbers. Luoxue did not seem to have the intention of sending out more wolf cavalry.
It even made Du Wei wonder: Where did Luoxue's wolf cavalry go?! Could it be that it only had two to three thousand wolf cavalry on the eastern front?
However, the thunder cavalry was not completely invincible. At least the terrain of the river bank was too soft and limited the thunder cavalry's charging ability. In one battle, the thunder cavalry had already pushed back the enemy's formation. In the end, a small group of thunder cavalry charged into the muddy area of the river bank and almost fell into it.
In the six battles, both sides did not send in too many troops. The sinners mainly harassed the enemy. It had to be admitted that this did indeed greatly delay the humans' reconstruction of the stronghold.
In July, the center of the war shifted to the central stronghold.
Because of Du Wei's victory on the eastern front, General Rostock of the central stronghold lost face. Therefore, the Tempest Legion in the Central Fortress launched a "summer offensive" in July.
They joined forces with the Whip of the Thunder Deity army led by Alpay of the Western Fortress to feign an attack from the side. The Tempest Legion of the Central Stronghold would be the main attacking force.
Tens of thousands of human soldiers walked out of the city walls, and after careful preparation, they launched an attack, once threatening the camp of the sinners.
However, in the subsequent battle, they were met with the counterattack of the main force of the Orcs, and both sides suffered heavy losses.
However, the result was that General Rostock's summer offensive did not achieve its intended goal. It did not break through the enemy's main camp, nor did it force the enemy to retreat.
On the other hand, Alpay of the western defense line had achieved a moderate victory, which could be called a "miracle".
Alpay's Whip of the Thunder God's troops were not under much pressure because the sinners had never attacked the western front since the war began. In this feint to coordinate with the summer offensive in the central region, the Whip of the Thunder Deity in the western battlefront, under Alpay's order, sent an army of ten thousand people to sneak into the Aura Horse Mule Mountain. They advanced through the mountain roads and circled behind the sinners.
That area had been occupied by the sinners, and the human army's sneak attack burned down three sinner villages along the way. These villages were built on the basis of the original villages abandoned by the humans. At the same time, a fire burned down many sinners' farmlands.
Then, under the pursuit of the enemy's blocking troops, this 10,000-man army sneaked back into the mountains, took the mountain roads, and got rid of the enemy's encirclement. In the end, they set up an ambush and successfully annihilated an Orc army of more than a thousand people.
It was worth mentioning that they later received accurate information that this 10,000-man army was personally led by Alpay! As the commander of the western front, he was willing to take such a risk and achieved such a victory. For a time, Alpay's reputation soared!
In August, the war situation fell into a temporary calm.
However, in October, after the sinners' rear had a bumper harvest, they launched a fierce attack again. This time, the main area of attack was still the central part!
This was obvious: although the central fortress was where the empire's troops were the strongest, once they could break through the central fortress' main defense, they could separate the eastern and western human armies far away!
According to the statistics, the orcs had gathered an army of more than 100,000 for this attack. They launched three fierce attacks, and one of them even sent the Behemoth and many other monsters.
During the battle, Hussain, who was sent by Du Wei to the central fortress to assist in the battle, showed his prowess. He killed four Behemoths and an Orc leader in the battle. According to reliable information later, the Orc leader killed by Hussain was a high-ranking general in the Orc army — Bistin, the white rhinoceros.
But this was the end.
After three fruitless attacks, the orc leader, Rock, was enraged. This was one of the three orc leaders, a Saint-level powerhouse. At the end of August, he came to the central fortress alone and challenged the human Saint-level powerhouse by name.
As a result, tens of thousands of human and sinner soldiers witnessed a rare "Saint-level battle" with their own eyes.
The battle between the two Saint-level powerhouses caused the sky to change color and the sun and moon to dim. After fighting for an entire day, the two Saint-level powerhouses still couldn't determine a winner.
Before Rock left, he roared in public, "There really is such a powerhouse among the humans!"
However … the words of the Sinner Saint-level powerhouse were later believed to be deliberately made up by the humans to make themselves look good. Because … Firstly, as an orc, it was unlikely that Rock could speak the human language. Even if he did, the humans wouldn't understand. Secondly, with Rock's irritable personality, it was unlikely that he would say such words to boost the enemy's morale and undermine his own. Du Wei later guessed that the orc Saint-level powerhouse most likely said something like "Damn, you win".
However, being able to witness a Saint-level battle with their own eyes had already dazzled the tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides of the battlefield.
Hussain's title as the "Protector of the Empire" had also spread across the continent.
At this moment, even if someone suspected that he was the traitor of the Shrines, Hussain … it didn't matter. Because he had already become a war hero.
In October, the sinners on the western front launched several revenge attacks, but they were all neutralized by Alpay's excellent command. Alpay's fame once again rose to another level.
For a time, the northern war zone of the Empire was in an awkward situation.
The eastern, central, and western war zones were three war zones. Du Wei in the east and Du Wei in the west had both achieved impressive results. No one could surpass Du Wei's glorious victory of annihilating tens of thousands of orcs and reclaiming the fortress. Alpay also won praise for his courage and wisdom in personally leading tens of thousands of troops to sneak into the enemy's rear.
However, Rostock in the central region, as the commander-in-chief of the northern front in name, didn't have a single battle achievement to show. It was as if … his limelight had been completely stolen by the two juniors in the eastern and western regions.
It also made the main force of the Tempest Legion feel rather ashamed.
In November, on the eastern front, the Sinners finally launched a large-scale attack. In Du-Wei's opinion, Luo Xue probably did this on purpose.
This was because for the past few months, the stalemate on the eastern front and Luoxue's inaction probably caused the orcs to be dissatisfied. In order to appease the dissatisfaction of their allies, Luoxue invested a considerable amount of power in the attack this time. Tens of thousands of orcs crossed the river, the elves assisted in the battle in the sky, and the Dragons were also sent out.
As a result … … Duwei actually managed to defend the Stronghold … … Defended the half-built Stronghold!
The situation was a little strange …
At the beginning of the battle, the sinners had a dual attack on the ground and in the air. Du Wei personally led the Griffin Knight to counterattack in the air. Under the fear of the Gryphons, the elves used their advantage in numbers to fight against the Gryphon Riders. In this battle, Du-Wei's Gryphon Riders were not at a disadvantage in the slightest. However, after the Dragons joined the battle, Du Wei was forced to retreat.
The mage team loyal to Du Wei went out to assist the Griffin Knight in defending the airspace. In this battle, Du Wei's mage team suffered heavy losses. More than ten mages died. The Griffin Knight also finally suffered casualties.
As for the ground troops, although the Thunder Knights were powerful, they could not help much in the defense of the fortress. Moreover, the orcs came prepared this time. After the previous battle, the orcs seemed to have learned the human's shield wall and spear tactic. This greatly limited the use of the Thunder Knights.
In the battle, the fortress's walls had once failed and the situation was in danger … However …
This time, the one who created the miracle was not Du Wei!
It was …
…
Regarding that battle, a strange legend had formed in the army of the Eastern Battlefront after the battle. When everyone mentioned the scene of that day, their faces were filled with shock and fear. There was also a faint trace of reverence.
If the scene of that day was mentioned, then the soldiers on the eastern front would tell you:
"That day … it was a miracle! That day, our section of the wall had already been lost. The Duke of the Tulip Family's aerial Knight could only barely resist. Those orcs attacked crazily as if they did not care about their lives … Hateful, our walls had not been completed yet. There were a few big gaps and we were unable to form an effective defense. I watched with my own eyes as our flags fell from section after section of the city walls. Those hairy Beastmen rushed up … At that time … "
If you continued to ask at this time, then the person who answered you would most likely gulp down a mouthful of saliva and have a strange and miserable expression. If there was wine beside him, he would immediately snatch it and gulp down a few mouthfuls, as if he needed to boost his courage.
"At that time … I and all the brothers around me seemed to hear a voice coming from the sky at the same time. Yes, that's right! That voice came from the sky! It was a woman's voice. The voice was cold and when you heard it, you would feel all the hairs on your body stand up! That voice was like a woman directly beside your ear saying 'Everyone, look up at the sky, don't look down!'. Then … "
"Then … I looked up and saw a fairy descending from the sky! I swear to God, I am not lying! She must be a fairy! What the hell? Although she was high up in the sky and I could not see her face, I dare to bet that she was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life! When I saw her shadow from afar, I was stunned! Then … "
"After that, that fairy pulled out a long sword and ruthlessly cut off a large chunk of her long golden hair, quickly scattering it in front of her … After that …"
"Then, the battle ended. Guess what happened? Let me tell you, I was so scared that I wet my pants! We were warned by that woman's voice. Everyone looked up at the sky and did not look forward. Then, after that woman scattered her hair, the cries of the orcs around us gradually disappeared! After the surroundings became silent, that woman disappeared from the sky and could no longer be seen. "Then, we looked down and saw … below the city, on the battlefield, those orcs that had swarmed over like ants had all turned into … stone statues! Tell me, if this is not a miracle, then what is? I guess … that woman who appeared in the sky, could it be the Goddess' spirit? If that is the case, then it will be great! Goddess bless! Long live Roland! Long live the Empire! "
— — —
"Long live Roland! Long live the Empire! "
The surrounding soldiers shouted together. Many of them were holding iron wine cups in their hands.
This was a tavern in the stronghold – now it has become a resting place for the soldiers.
A young boy stood behind him with several tall and sturdy men wearing robes. At first glance, they looked like bodyguards.
This young boy had a beautiful face. He looked to be in his early teens, but he had an extraordinary air about him.
After chatting with a few drunken soldiers, he finally figured out the details of the battle ….
Charlie, the current Emperor of the Empire, had a strange expression on his face.
Goddess' spirit? Goddess bless?
They all turned into stone statues?
What is the Duke of the Tulip Family, my teacher, up to?
Looking at the drunken soldiers around them, Charlie's attendants became nervous. They quickly surrounded the young Emperor to protect him.
This time, the young Emperor personally came to the eastern battlefront. His purpose was to comfort and reward the soldiers of the eastern battlefront. His Majesty the Emperor coming in person, this is a great honor! Although everyone knows that the young Emperor has not yet taken over the reins, he is still the Emperor!
It is just that … this young Emperor has so many strange ideas. He wants to play some incognito game … Alas, it is hard on us guards.
"Your Majesty." A guard leader moved closer to Charlie's ear and begged in a low voice: "There are too many people here. Let's hurry to the commander's residence and see the Duke of the Tulip Family."
"What's the hurry?" Charlie's face was full of confidence: "These are the warriors of the Roland Empire! As the Emperor of the Empire, I am not afraid of danger among the warriors of the Empire! "
His words were very beautiful. When the surrounding guards heard it, they could not help but show a look of admiration. However, the young Emperor's desire to perform was too strong. He even wanted to take a cheap and inferior ale from the counter to drink with the soldiers. This action was a bit too much. It took a lot of persuasion before he was finally stopped by the guards.
"Well, let's go see teacher." Facing the guards' obstruction, Charlie was actually only half reluctant. He was just putting on an act. As the Emperor, he would never be willing to squeeze in with these soldiers and drink inferior ale!
"Goddess bless! Long live Roland! Long live the Empire!! Long live the Duke of the Tulip Family!!! "
When he heard the first two sentences, Charlie smiled. However, when the drunken soldiers shouted the last sentence, Charlie's eyes flashed with a trace of strangeness.
"Let's go."
He seemed to have finally lost interest. He turned around and walked out of the tavern.
