Five hundred and seventieth chapters red tide (seven)

"In this battle, the orcs will be defeated! And it will be a great defeat!"
In the autumn of 1034 of the Seven Dragon Age, when the orc army successively captured the Crow Principality under the devil's rule and several fortresses on the western border, everyone realized that an unprecedented battle was about to happen. Through the news revealed by some demon players, people also knew that hell was not waiting to die.
On October 3, 1034, the orcs' soldiers began to cross the border, pointing directly to the Yadu Province, one of the western provinces of the Principality of Crows. This province is also the most developed area in the Principality of Crows. 70% of the livestock in the entire Principality is produced from this, which is a must-fight for demons and orcs who are equally scarce in food.
On October 6, 1034, a team of ten thousand people in the Avant-garde Poisoning Fangs encountered a 10,000-strong team in a canyon in Yadu Province and was almost wiped out, which also kicked off the Battle of Yadu.
Many people have great expectations for the orcs' offensive that this time was huge and even clamoring to "crush all the demons at once". After all, in the past battles against demons, the orcs' performance was indeed worthy of their tone. If it were to say that Yashan had a race that could beat the demons' heavy corps without the advantage of the number, only orcs could do it.
However, it is worth mentioning that humans are mainly for the orcs to hope for them, while other races, such as the Silver Federation, cemeteries and elves, do not seem to think that this battle can be carried out as the orcs imagined. In particular, many generals and military strategists of the Silver Federation have repeatedly reminded the orcs in public that if they still use the "old methods" of the past to deal with the demons, then they are likely to fail. The form of the war has changed, but the orcs have not had the slightest awareness...
Similarly, Sima Guiyi, who is far away in Virgil, also believed that the orc's offensive was not optimistic, and even his expectations of the prospects of the battle were even more sad than others.
"Oh? Sima, you seem to have no confidence in the power of orcs."
In a small garden on the middle floor of the Black Tower, Yue Yulou, with a leisurely look on his face, listened to Sima Guiyi's words and gently sprinkled water on the beautiful black flowers in the bonsai. This secret talk was not in the depressing conference hall, and there were only Yue Yulou and Sima Guiyi.
"It's not that there is no confidence. Orcs are indeed very strong. If other reasons are aside, the two armies face the front, the number of winners should be between 50 and 50, and the orcs will even have a better chance of winning."
"What does the preface mean?"
"Let me listen to me one by one... First of all, although the orcs are strong in their bodies, they are short of strategy. Although there are wise men in the clan, they cannot compare with Ward like Ward (Sima Guiyi's evaluation of Ward, using war to become a demon). Moreover, when fighting orcs, Duoxi takes hunting as an example, and they are indeed good at surrounding and hiding, but how can hunting be compared between the army and the army stops? Secondly, although the orcs are known as a million troops, this "army" is composed of dozens of large tribes and countless small tribes. Since the death of the first Golden Horde, the orcs have been in a mess for nearly a hundred years. Moreover, there are still the propelling of surrounding forces in the past hundred years. It is common for tribes to attack and kill each other. Although a Golden Horde is temporarily elected, how can they be prohibited?"
"Wait, Sima, what do you mean is that there may be division within the orc coalition? Well~~ Indeed, Qi Ming reported to me a few days ago that while fighting with the demons, the orcs had grudges in the past fought against the spoils, and the troubles were going on. Even the Golden Horde had to mediate... Hahaha, it's ridiculous. Although the orcs were a bit reckless in the past, they were still very smart in big deals, and they became so profitable."
"Lord Mingjian, the orcs are not orcs in the era of Nkuyak. Even though the orcs at that time were slaves, they were also considered "equality for everyone". From chiefs to common people, they all share the same hatred for demons, so they can naturally do everything. But now... the lord has also been to the grassland and must have some knowledge. The orc nobles treat ordinary herders no better attitude than human nobles treat farmers."
"Indeed, the orcs nowadays are not as fierce as before, but they are becoming more and more like humans."
"So, at this time, the orcs won a small victory in a row, so they naturally cannot see the hidden worries inside, but once they suffer a defeat, they will inevitably lead to great disasters!"
Nodding, Yue Yulou recognized Sima Guiyi's statement.
“…Let’s go ahead.”
"Yes, then the subordinates dared to continue... Although the last battle of the moon eclipse was called the largest war in Yashan, it did not affect the Heavenly Father's Grassland. Orcs basically went abroad to fight. Think about it, there was no pain in the skin. Why did the orc tribes so actively send troops? After all, it is not the era of the Golden Horde Gaotai, and orcs are not races that pay attention to justice."
"That's a reason..."
Putting down the watering can in his hand, Yue Yulou thought for a while, and then said softly:
"...I think it's just a profit."
"Of course, the orcs have settled in the grassland for hundreds of years and have been infected with the extremely nomadic habit. They can be said to have no benefits to get up early. Although this lunar eclipse is coming in great momentum, in the eyes of the orcs, it may be just a phased cycle, just like the changing seasons, but those tribes have seen the opportunities brought by the lunar eclipse, not only as simple as the materials of the Silver Federation... I believe the lord also knows that the orcs' covetous fertile soil of the human world has never been lower than the demons."
"Don't think about it, just look at the orc's behavior this time. Whenever you attack, you don't first explore the enemy situation or deploy defense, but instead plunder and plunder, and even capture ordinary human civilians as slaves, which seems to be expelling demons."
"That's right, the orcs not only violated the two taboos of underestimating the enemy and advancing, but also damaged their own righteousness and their chances of winning were reduced by at least 10%!"
"Ah~~~ The orcs have lived too casually in the past few hundred years. Although they are still brave, they... think of Gaotai's genius, and their descendants, all of them are mediocre."
"It's just a brave man, what's worth mentioning? As for the Golden Horde Gao Tai, he is indeed a stunning orc person."
"Forget it, don't sigh at those meaningless history, let's continue."
"Article 4: Since its birth, orcs have been circulating in Yashan for hundreds of years with their bloody power and fearless courage. They are known as the number one strong clan on the mainland. They have been the mainstay of the lunar eclipse wars and are powerful... But in the same way, although the demons in the past were also fierce, the military disciplines were scattered, the two were short of marriage and food, and the three were less generals and commanders, so they would suffer a great loss whenever they fought against orcs."
"Well, I thought of this too, Ward...is not Caberus."
"...The current demons are not only a leader who is good at planning to fight, but also a united soldiers, with orders and bans, with sufficient soldiers and sufficient food, strong armor and cannons, and a powerful air fleet. However, the orcs have almost no changes from hundreds of years ago. In addition to the slightly better weapons, tactics, organizational systems, and equipment are all completely backward compared to the demons! A simple medieval nomad tribe was going to fight against an army that had been armed to modern times, and the result is..."
Speaking of this, if Sima Guiyi does not continue to speak out the subsequent text, Yue Yulou can already imagine that kind of tragedy.
"...I think it's all about massacre."
"As for the fifth point, I actually think that laying the groundwork for the previous points is not that important, but... I'd better ask the lord to take a look."
As he said that, Sima Guiyi slowly pulled out two secret letters from his sleeve and handed them to Yue Yulou.
"The latest information?"
"Well, is it the urgent letter sent by Zhang Qiming from the Principality of the Crow or the video record."
"oh?"
Curious, Yue Yulou opened the first secret letter, and a blurred three-dimensional picture unfolded in front of him.
"This is……?"
The picture is really blurry, as if it was taken at night. Through the thick leaves, you can vaguely see teams of demon soldiers moving on the road. Just in Yueyulou, there is something worth recording in this picture through the image secret letter (a advanced image preservation device. The system that the player in Yashan has not only limited use, but also the video recording function can only be released outside the game, which is very close to the distance!), a strange scene finally appeared.
Halfway through the picture, a trailer was suddenly dragging a strange object among the guards of many soldiers and slowly passing through the blurry picture. Although Yue Yulou thought it was a fertile demon at first glance, he found that this thing seemed to be a metal, with basically no characteristics of life activities, and the abrupt bone column was quite inconsistent with the characteristics of a fertile demon.
"It seems that Ward has gotten some new toys."
When the picture disappeared, Yue Yulou, who was smiling, then gently closed the secret letter, turned to Sima Guiyi and asked:
"Did Qi Ming say what this thing is called?"
"Zhang Qiming said that the demon did a good job of keeping this thing confidential and did not allow players to contact them at all, so I don't know what this is for the time being."
"Well, I think it won't take long before Ward will tell everyone, but... the orcs may suffer a big loss."
"My lord, please read the second one, this is the most important thing."
"Oh? Can you let Sima say this..."
After gently opening the second secret letter, the picture this time was clear. Because it was evening, Yue Yulou could clearly see that in a dense forest, more than a dozen tall orcs were closely guarding the surroundings. In the middle was an orc who looked a little short but wearing a gorgeous bear-skin battle robe, and opposite him was a... evil demon!
"Tsk tsk, it seems that something interesting is going to happen? Which tribe is this?"
"It's the Heihe tribe."
"Heihe tribe? I remember it seems to be a large tribe with tens of thousands of troops."
"That's right, now the picture is their chief."
"I see……"
After gently closing the secret letter, Yue Yulou can already confirm the outcome of this battle.
"...Skies and brave men, each with ulterior motives, and even traitors. Will the once powerful orcs end up like this? Ridiculous, sad."
"This is also due to the situation. Perhaps Ward has been infiltrating the orcs since early on."
"Well, let's wait for the result."
Hearing Yue Yulou say this, Sima Guiyi knew that it was time for him to leave, but after hesitating for a while, he suddenly took another step closer and whispered:
"Young Master, is your big deal..."
"It's soon."
"Oh, it's because my subordinates are talking too much, so... the ancestor of the family is preparing to hold the first board of directors after the disintegration of Huanlong. I wonder if the young master..."
"Okay, I'll go, you can do it first."
"yes……"
After Sima Guiyi left, Yue Yulou then slowly walked to his chair and sat down heavily. At the same time, he also quietly climbed onto his face. He seemed to be almost unable to remember how long it was before he last went offline.
"Ward...you have to hurry up."
