Chapter 969, Brainy’s intelligence, this is an empty city!!!
Lehman City.
This fortress was built by the Carlo family.
It is also the front line of the Orc Kingdom's fight against the Alpha Kingdom.
Several invasions.
The orc armies are all gathered in the city of Lehman.
The Alpha Kingdom heads north for the decisive battle.
The goal is to capture Lehman City.
But so far.
The city had never been breached.
And over time.
The power of the orc nobles is growing stronger.
A large number of orc settlements were built.
A large territory was forcibly carved out from the Alpha Kingdom.
A large number of pioneer lords formed a buffer between the human cities of Tyre and Lehman.
Before this, neither side could do anything to the other.
Thus a limited peace was maintained.
Caravans traveled between the two cities for trade.
But with the sudden death of the old governor of Tyre City in the capital of the Alpha Kingdom.
There were reports of discord between the border nobles and the royal family.
The two sides even fought secretly several times.
The border nobles wanted to stabilize the territories behind them.
Some of the pioneer lords had to be withdrawn to return for defense.
This gave the orcs in Lehman City an opportunity.
They seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Send troops decisively.
In just a few days, the pioneer lord's territory outside the city of Tyre was captured.
The troops marched straight to the city of Tyre.
When the news came out, the Alpha Kingdom was shocked.
The border nobles negotiated peace with the royal family.
Both sides began to gather their armies to march north to provide support.
But it will take at least half a month for the supporting troops to arrive.
But the city of Tyre now cannot even wait for half a month.
To take this city.
The elite members of the Carlo family from Lehman City are all out.
He mobilized the armies of his own family, vassals, and pioneer lords.
All of them gathered at the gates of Tyre.
just now!
Just wait to eliminate the reinforcements on both wings.
Launch the final offensive.
The city of Tyre was captured in one fell swoop.
Lehman City.
The council hall of the Carlo family.
"Report."
"News from the legion that ambushed Red River Heights."
"The noble coalition supporting Tyre City was completely wiped out three hours ago."
"Sir Feynman led the army into the Red River Plateau."
"Thirteen noble territories were conquered in a row."
"Now the nobles of Red River Highlands are doing their utmost to defend the castle."
"Sir Feynman left some soldiers behind to launch a feint attack."
"The rest of the army will head south to intercept the reinforcements from the Rainbow Land and the Swamp Land."
Duke Carlo, who was sitting on the throne, heard the news.
There was an irrepressible excitement on his face.
"it is good."
"Very good!!!"
The only thing to worry about when attacking the city of Tyre is the reinforcements from the Red River Highlands and the Rainbow Land.
The nobles of the Red River Highlands are famous for their fighting skills.
In the past, this high ground was the territory of the orcs.
These are impoverished nobles from the south.
He actually bit it off the orc.
At that time, the orcs in the Red River Highlands were a tribe of Centaurs.
There are six thousand heavily armored warriors.
But it was this kind of force that faced the human heavy infantry wearing heavy armor and holding tower shields.
The entire army was wiped out in one battle.
Shocked the entire orc kingdom.
Since that time.
The Orc Tribe withdrew from the Red River Valley.
The power of mankind reaches deep into the grassland.
The city of Tyre was then established.
It was like a sharp knife, inserted into the orcs' grassland.
It became the eternal pain of all orcs.
Good thing!
This pain will soon be gone.
"If we take over the city of Tyre, we will be able to take over the Red River Valley smoothly."
Duke Carlo spoke.
And the subordinate vassal spoke up.
"Your Mightiness."
"Don't forget the legions from the Rainbow Land and the Swamp Land."
Hear the swampland.
The orc nobles present burst into laughter.
"Haha, swamp noble."
"A bunch of idiots who can't even beat the frogmen."
"That is the Sam family. They have several hundred great sword infantrymen wearing chain mail."
"But so what? Bullying frogmen is fine."
"If they dare to join the battlefield, they will be wiped out in one charge."
"Yes, the nobles in the swamp are all a bunch of beggars."
"The ones we should really worry about are the nobles of the Rainbow Land."
"That's the royal territory."
"There are at least five thousand armed and heavily armored knights."
"Plus numerous auxiliary legions."
"If the Rainbow Land supports with all its strength, it can mobilize at least 30,000 troops!"
"This is a force that can determine the outcome of the war."
In response, Duke Carlo raised his hand.
"do not worry."
"There is absolutely no way that everyone from Rainbow Land will come out in full force!"
Others may not know, but Duke Carlo knows the Rainbow Land very well.
The Alpha Kingdom is not a monolithic entity.
There were many conflicts among the nobles.
There were conflicts of interest between the royal family and the nobles.
The royal family and the border nobles both needed each other and were wary of each other.
The Rainbow Land is a piece of territory that the royal family built at all costs specifically to check and balance the border nobles.
It was built around the time of Alpha VI.
He sent his younger brother to mingle with the border nobles and go to the border to look for suitable land for development.
Later, the king's younger brother met the orcs' harpy tribe.
Rainbow Valley is where the harpies live.
The climate there is suitable and there are large plains.
It is the most suitable land for building a territory.
To get this land.
The king's brother married the queen of the harpies.
At that time, the Queen of the Harpies also sent an envoy to invite the Orc Kingdom to watch the ceremony.
But because the other party is a vassal of the Orc Kingdom, it has a strong sense of independence.
Plus she has to marry a human.
So the king at that time was very angry.
He directly refused to watch the ceremony and issued a warning.
Humans are a race that cannot be trusted.
Unfortunately, the Harpy Queen didn't listen.
Still immersed in the joy of the wedding.
Then tragedy struck.
The wedding day.
The harpies ate the wine and food of the human nobles.
All poisoned and unable to fly.
Then the soldiers of the human nobles rushed into the wedding scene.
In front of the Harpy Queen, all his people were killed.
Even a newborn baby.
None of them were let go.
Directly wipe out the harpies in Rainbow Valley.
Afterwards, the Alpha royal family secretly invested a large amount of money and began to build Rainbow Valley.
Six generations have passed.
Now it is Alpha XII.
This place is firmly under the control of the royal family.
There are twelve earldoms and one dukedom in the Rainbow Valley.
All the nobles are relatives of the royal family.
Except for the royal dukedom, the rest of the earldoms are not permanent fiefdoms.
The Orc Kingdom has tried many times to take back this land, but unfortunately has failed every time.
Rainbow Valley is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the current entrance has long been built into a fortress.
Around Rainbow Valley.
A large number of pioneering nobles controlled by the royal family built numerous satellite territories.
It's like an iron barrel built here.
That is the rainbow collar.
Only the Alpha royal family is not afraid of the unrest caused by the border nobles.
Serves as a ballast to stabilize the border.
Duke Carlo was sure that the other party would never dare to send out all its troops to support him.
The number of troops dispatched will not exceed three thousand.
And most of them should be legions from the affiliated pioneer territories outside the Rainbow Territory.
The real elite will never leave there.
But even so, Duke Carlo did not dare to take it lightly.
After all, behind these three thousand legions, there are probably three hundred pioneering nobles who have awakened the power of magic crystals.
Plus those nobles from the Swamp Territory.
If used well on the battlefield, it could potentially determine the outcome of a war.
Just to be on the safe side.
Duke Carlo must destroy them.
"It's calculated based on time."
"Count Feynman should be here soon."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"Count Feynman's vanguard has arrived, and previously encountered reinforcements from the Swamp Territory."
"They tried to attack the intercepting stockade, but suffered heavy losses."
"Then just retreat and wait."
"Mr. Feynman guessed that they were probably waiting for reinforcements from the Rainbow Land."
“So we haven’t touched them yet.”
Hearing this, Duke Carlo nodded.
"The nobles in the swampland have little fighting power."
"It's really wrong to expose them for them."
"By the way, has there been any news from the team that was sent to attack the swamp nobles?"
"Not yet, sir."
"Where's the frogman?"
"Neither do you, sir."
When Duke Carlo heard this, he had a bad feeling.
But just as he was about to order soldiers to investigate.
A piece of latest intelligence arrived.
"Report."
"Your Excellency the Duke."
"News from Master Feynman."
"The Rainbow Land Legion appeared in the ambush circle."
"The ambushing army has launched its attack."
"At the latest, we will be able to eat them smoothly by tomorrow morning."
The news came.
There were roars of cheers throughout the hall.
"Foolish human nobles, it's time for you to get out of the grassland."
"This time, we want the Red River Valley, Tyre City, and the Rainbow Land."
"For the sake of the Harpy Horde, humans must die."
"Sir Carlo, I think it's time to lead the Guards to the city of Tyre."
"I, Landa, am willing to be the vanguard and lead my subjects to become the first wave of the attacking army."
A request to the subordinates to fight.
Duke Carlo also felt some emotions surge.
But as an old aristocrat.
Duke Carlo was still very cautious.
He looked at the soldier who had delivered the message.
"The ones surrounding us are reinforcements from the Rainbow Land."
"What about the swampland army that was repelled before?"
"Are they surrounded?"
"Probably not for now."
"But the location where the nobles of the swamp are stationed is also the location of the ambush."
"And they have less than 3,000 peasant soldiers under their command."
"The only ones who are capable of fighting are the nobles."
"But this time, Mr. Feynman has three times as many warriors who have awakened magic crystals as them."
"Even if they discovered they were ambushed."
"There is no possibility of changing the outcome of the war."
The one who brought back the news was also a pioneer lord.
He was also involved in the development of front-line ambush tactics.
That’s why I can talk freely here.
Naturally, these words were recognized by the nobles present.
"Mr. Carlo, I think he is right."
"The nobles in the swamp have always been a bunch of trash."
"Not to mention here, even in the Alpha Kingdom, these people are not welcome. They are called country bumpkins and beggars with dirt all over their bodies."
"Most of the nobles there are human mercenaries, with only a few wandering knights."
"Their strength is limited and they cannot pose any danger to us."
"Yes, Lord Carlo, perhaps the team we sent out has already broken through the territory of the swamp nobles."
"It's just that there's no time to send back the message."
"Yes, we also transported a lot of weapons to the frogmen in the swamp."
"Although the frogmen's fighting power is poor, they have iron weapons and are fighting in a swamp."
"With the team we sent, it won't be difficult to break into the territory of the human nobles."
In the hall, under the persuasion of the nobles one by one.
The doubts that arose in Duke Carlo's heart began to be dispelled little by little.
"Yes."
"The swamp nobles are not very strong."
"Even if they are not eliminated, it is absolutely impossible to change the situation of the war with their strength alone."
"I'm too cautious."
Duke Carlo shook his head.
"Worrying about a bunch of rednecks."
"It would be foolish if this delays the time and causes the attack plan of Tyre City to be postponed."
Think of this.
Duke Carlo did not hesitate at all.
He stood up and gave the order immediately.
"Send the order!"
"Leman City will have 1,000 guards and 3,000 city defense troops stationed there."
"Leave it all to my eldest son, Commander Jon Carlo."
"The rest of the guards and vassal nobles, assemble your legions immediately."
"Follow me to Tyre."
"Everyone."
"Won!"
"Red River Valley, yours!"
"Tyre City, yours!"
"The rainbow land flowing with milk and honey is yours too!"
Duke Carlo finished speaking.
The thunderous cheers resounded through the sky again.
That night.
Lehman City's elite troops are out.
Rushing towards the outskirts of Tyre.
at the same time.
The hotel district of Lehman City.
Blayney dressed in a robe and dressed as a businessman.
He was sitting at a long table in the tavern, swirling the transparent tequila liquor.
Slowly savor this rare delicacy.
"Different from humans."
"The orcs' tequila has a burning sensation that burns your throat."
“The first bite is painful, but you get used to it.”
"The heat burning the whole body makes the blood boil."
"No wonder orcs always carry a lot of tequila when they go on expeditions."
Blayney picked up the glass and gulped it down.
"Cough cough cough~"
"The decline in strength is too great."
After being burned by alcohol.
Brainy looked up.
At the door of the tavern, several strong tiger men walked in quickly.
These violent tiger warriors are now her subordinates.
After entering Lehman City.
Relying on these tiger warriors.
Blayney has become the master of the underground forces on a street.
Nicknamed Tiger King.
The leading tiger team leader stepped forward quickly.
"grown ups."
"The news I just got."
"Duke Carlo left Leman City with all his elite troops."
"The target is the city of Tyre."
After hearing this, Brainy's eyes lit up slightly.
"It looks like they're ready to take action."
"Where is our Lord now?"
"A message from Lord Aria."
"There's still one day left until Lehman."
“They spared the way.”
“Avoiding large frontier territories.”
Brainy looked at the map.
"Where is Aria's main force?"
"Lord Aria is still paving the way forward for His Excellency the Lord."
"Clear out the orc settlements along the way."
"They are moving at a relatively fast pace and have already cleared out almost six frontier territories."
"Compared to His Excellency the Lord, Your Excellency Aria should be able to arrive half a day earlier."
Brenny nodded.
"Then follow the previous plan."
"Place our people among the city guards."
"The orcs who watch over the warehouse and awaken the magic crystals."
"Send someone else to tell Aria."
"Just say it!"
“This is already an empty city!!!”
"Just wait until the legion arrives!"
"This city is ours!"
"All the magic crystals here are also ours!!!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!!!" (End of this chapter)
