After losing troops and losing generals in succession, Wald's brigade quickly reacted and gathered its main force to Fort Vick. At this time, Wald's brigade had only three squadrons of soldiers, which totaled no more than five hundred orcs.

The direct reconnaissance brigade of the legion commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Ma Wen suffered very little losses. He participated in two consecutive battles, annihilated more than 300 orcs, and only more than 40 casualties were killed or killed.

Including the horse-riding infantry commanded by Richard, Lieutenant Colonel Ma Wen still has more than 200 soldiers. In addition, Harden Castle has drawn more than 60 auxiliary soldiers to escort food and grass, and cooperate with Lieutenant Colonel Ma Wen's operation.

Seeing that the beastmen soldiers were hiding in Vic Fortress like hedgehogs, Lieutenant Colonel Marvin could only station in a village more than ten miles away from the castle to monitor the orc army.

The orcs avoided fighting, and Lieutenant Colonel Ma Wen would not choose to attack the city. They carried food for ten days, and the food was close to the rear, so there was no problem of shortage of food for the time being. They could continue to consume it with the orcs.

Besides, the Kingdom of Grant is an inside battle. Not to mention other directions, the Flying Eagle Legion of the Province of Lach has not participated in the war yet.

Although the combat power of the Flying Eagle and Feiyan legions is not as good as the main legion, it is also the regular army of the Kingdom. The joining of the Flying Eagle Legion is enough to change the situation on the battlefield and repel the orc attacks.

If the Orc Empire does not spend a lot of money and put more power in it, it will be difficult to open up the situation in the northern border and defeat the army of more than 100,000 Grant Kingdoms.

Just like the previous wars, it only consumed the national strength of some northern princes and princes. If all national powers were mobilized to invade, other human forces in the Chenxi Continent would not sit idly by and watch the orc empire grow, and would inevitably send troops to help the northern princes and princes and princes in the Chenxi Continent.

A war between humans and orcs broke out, and the orcs Empire was no match for the Holy Glory Empire.

Even if the Seven Gods Church does not intervene, it will be difficult for the Orc Empire to win. If it is not easy to produce real fire, it is also a high probability that the Orc Empire will be destroyed.

The Orc Empire has many smart people, and they have a full understanding of the power balance between the enemy and us. Every time they invade, they invest a little more power than their opponents.

More so, it is to capture human slaves and rob production materials, and it will never threaten the survival of the northern kingdom.

The senior officials of the Grant Kingdom also knew this. The tacit understanding of the senior officials was not aware of the low-ranking officers like Richard.

What the people in the northern border can see is the burning, killing, looting, and causing them to fall into cruel war. Every northern border person has a hatred for orcs in his genes.

After returning to the camp, Richard took off his armor, carefully maintained it, and then put it in a large suitcase.

According to Richard's level, there are already two guards with him, and such things can be left to the guards.

It’s just that Richard has a modern human soul in his body. He likes to do his own things and does not like to bother others.

Besides, the maintenance of weapons and armor should have been done by themselves to avoid the guards being fooled. If the armor is not well maintained and the problem is caused by the enemy during the battle, it would be very unfair.

Unlike Richard, perhaps because of the clear hierarchy of this world, officers such as Marvin, Diyala, and almost all handed over such trivial matters to the guards. Not only to maintain weapons, but also to wash underwear and wear clothes, they need the guards' help.

Many officers don’t even treat soldiers as humans in their hearts. Although Richard doesn’t stand all this, he can already adapt.

After staying near Vick Castle for seven days, the orcs of Walder were still unmoved.

Vic Castle stockpiled a lot of food, and the food in the Baron's warehouse was enough for hundreds of orcs to eat for ten years. Moreover, even if the food was exhausted, orcs could still eat people.

Lieutenant Colonel Ma Wen is under his command, and he is not familiar with how to attack the city.

Richard commanded half of the squadron of soldiers as horse-riding infantrymen, who were proficient in siege tactics, but the number of people was too small and there were no siege equipment to use.

It takes a long time to fight siege equipment, and it also requires craftsmen with good skills. The conditions for siege in a short period of time are not mature.

After careful consideration, Lieutenant Colonel Marvin decided to lead his troops away, cross the Pratos Mountains, cooperate with Baron Harden to attack the Orc Transportation Team.

Before crossing the Pratos Mountains, Lieutenant Colonel Marvin decided to return to Harden Castle first and replenish some of the food-carrying beasts.

They carried 15 days of food, and in an emergency they could kill pack horses and eat meat, and they could last for more than ten days.

The first half of the Pratos Mountains is east-west, and the second half is north-south. If you look down from a high altitude, it looks like a 120-degree arc, and the end point is connected to the Eagle Mountains.

The Pratos Fortress Group is located in the middle of the mountain range, turning from east to north to south, with a Canyon Valley Road connected to Baron Harden Castle.

If you want to bypass this valley, you need to go east for a hundred kilometers and bypass the Pratos Mountains from the direction of Heihe Fort.

The direction of Heihe Fort is the main battlefield of war. Their small-scale cavalry went to Heihe Fort, not only was it very dangerous, but it would not have any effect when they went there.

After the Knockman Squadron was eliminated, there were no orc defenders in the canyon passage. Lieutenant Colonel Ma Wen decided to take a risk and march from the orc's nose.

Taking advantage of the nightfall, everyone walked along the canyon passage toward the Castle of Pratos.

The canyon passage is about thirty kilometers, and the road has just been renovated last year and is not very difficult to walk. In the second half of the night, Lieutenant Colonel Marvin led his troops to the vicinity of the Fortress Group of Pratos.

After holding on for more than a month, six of the nine castles had been missing, and most of the defense lines were lost and fell into the hands of the orcs.

Now two incomplete orc brigades are besieging the remaining three castles and still attacking every day, so it is difficult for the Eighth brigade to stick to it.

In order to encourage the defenders, Lieutenant Colonel Ma Wen personally led the team to investigate. After returning, he said with a serious expression: "I plan to attack the orc camp in the early morning. Everyone take a short look and rest for a while. Richard, please keep your guard to prevent being touched by orc scouts."

"Lieutenant Colonel, how many troops do the orcs have?"

"The orcs are all in the camp and are still unclear. However, from the perspective of flags, camp size, stoves and lights, there are no more than two brigades at most."

Richard is very mentally powerful and energetic. He personally keeps watch for everyone and is very focused.

At dawn the next day, I was still very energetic.

Lieutenant Colonel Ma Wen is a veteran with rich war experience. Even under the noses of orcs, he can still sleep. He rested for two or three hours before dawn and recovered some energy.

On the contrary, except for half of the veterans, the remaining soldiers were nervous, and at dawn, they were particularly sleepy.

Seeing that the orcs had emerged from the lost castle, they formed a formation, and attacked the remaining castles No. 6, No. 8 and No. 9 in a dispersed manner.

A few scouts also scattered and investigated the enemy situation in all directions.

Lieutenant Colonel Ma Wen no longer hesitated and immediately commanded the cavalry to launch a charge.

This time, because the soldiers under Richard were in poor condition, Lieutenant Colonel Ma Wen asked them to serve as reserve teams to monitor the enemy.

Richard asked Ron to command the troops and took the initiative to ask for battle in Lieutenant Colonel Ma Wen, hoping to participate in the operation.

"This attack is different from the previous few times. The enemy situation is unknown. The orcs are very powerful, and there may be greater sacrifices."

Richard said firmly: "The people of the Haaland family are not afraid of death, they are afraid that they cannot make meritorious service!"

"Since you persist like this, I will approve you to join the battle with us. I hope you can survive the war and make military achievements."
