Chapter 613

Everyone knows that time is pressing, and everyone knows the importance of unity at this juncture. The vanguard troops of Gambis and dodo Kingdom shrink to the south central border of the Sassanian Empire and stand still, which can be called a spectacle of the orc war.

Victor and King dodo actually took considerable political risks in making this decision. The main reinforcements of Gambis Kingdom have been launched, and 50000 elite of Dodo Kingdom gather in Baishui fortress. Every day the army delays, the supply pressure of Dodo people will be greater. However, the pioneer reinforcements cannot quickly carry out the early task of investigating the enemy situation and eliminating the entrenched forces of orcs in the Eastern defense line of Sasan, and the military risk borne by the main reinforcements will also increase.

In other words, no matter whether fledes comes to the door or not, Victor and Roland must lead the vanguard army to the eastern defense line of the Sassanian empire within 20 days.

Victor believed in the overall view of the Reverend frides. He thought that with his strong style, he would not sit idly by and watch the vanguard reinforcements of the two kingdoms hesitate. He also judged that he could not tolerate the conspiracy of the four Highnesses behind the church.

Lord frides did come, but his performance was not as aggressive as victor expected. After some communication, he vaguely pointed out the attempts of the two southern kingdoms and reached the most basic consensus with the four Highnesses, so as to take the initiative in the conversation.

Victor thought that he could not be led by the shepherd's nose and had to have a dialogue according to the predetermined rhythm.

"When I discussed the tenant system with bishop Perot of Renma hill, he first defined a principle on behalf of the church Privy Council." Victor said slowly, "tenants are not the children of the Lord. They have the right to leave their territory freely."

This principle has no problem. It relies on the three obligations of Knight protection, clergy redemption and public dedication. Denying the principle of tenant freedom is equal to denying the legitimacy of Knight aristocratic rule. In practice, if the Lord's army can't effectively protect the people, of course they have to evacuate to a safe rear. Victor's tenant system emphasizes that the people are the wealth of the Lord. Only by maintaining a considerable population can we ensure the continuous operation of the war machine. Therefore, there is no conflict between the principle of tenant freedom and his vision.

As for whether the tenants are willing to stick to the war territory and return after the war, it depends on the personal charm and political level of the Lord.

The mercenary Corps did not accept the principle of tenant freedom. They took the Lord's money and distributed the territory wealth in another form. They must abide by the obligation of protection and participate in the battle in the name of the Lord.

Flemish's eyes were frozen. He didn't expect Victor to discuss the basic principles of tenant system with him instead of putting forward his requirements.

"Yes. On this point, the Vatican Privy Council unanimously approved, and I, Clement and tamore signed their names on the tenant system instrument." The old shepherd nodded and said without hesitation.

Victor pondered for a moment and said in confusion: "On our way across the Wharton prairie, the dust Falcon I tamed found dozens of refugees. They lacked supplies and weapons and were being attacked by the grassland jackals. We killed all the jackals and wanted to escort the refugees to the nearest grassland holy city, but they refused our kindness and claimed that they would be repatriated to the Sassanian Empire when they arrived at the grassland holy city... They had to , we took them to a nomadic tribe on the grassland and settled them. That's why we got lost and mistakenly entered Lord fahran's command. "

Lost? Still in by mistake? Can you forget being lost... You're lost, are we also lost?

Duke Dietrich scolded in his heart that Roland got lost first and Victor got in by mistake. One of them was the youngest golden female knight and the other was a minor sun elf. He was not as old as him. As a Golden Knight in his 70s, he really shouldn't get lost and get in by mistake.

Flemish nodded and said, "well, the chaplain of the gangbis vanguard reinforcements has passed on to me the experience of two Highnesses in rescuing refugees and getting lost and mistakenly led by Lord fahland."

This... This... This, these two guys are really lost... The bald Golden Knight touched the back of his head and covered his face.

"Yes. When our iron wall Knights crossed the prairie, they also found refugees trying to move south, but the military situation was urgent, and we didn't dare to delay." Dunkru, the guardian of the Dodo royal family, also nodded, looked at Duke Dietrich and said faintly: "this time, Dietrich and I led the iron wall knight to comprehensively inspect the distribution of ORC slaves in the eastern defense line and the hinterland edge of sassanne. We happened to meet the gangbis vanguard army led by Lord fahland."

Duke Dietrich nodded calmly and gave duncrore a thumbs up in his heart.

He deserves to be the uncle of King Friedrich and the Archduke of the last generation of Dodo kingdom. His face is thicker than the wall of Whitewater fortress.

Victor and Roland looked at each other, raised the volume slightly, and asked with a skeptical tone, "we are very surprised. Why didn't the chief Shepherd organize the Sassanian free people to go to the southern kingdom to avoid the war through the business road of the holy city of the grassland?"

Without directly responding to Victor's questions, the Reverend frides turned his head and ordered the two twin warriors not far away: "open the war zone map to your highness."

The ruling warrior on the left untied the long wooden tube on his back and took out a four foot long animal skin scroll from inside. He saw his wrist shake and the scroll unfold straight, and the other side was just caught by the ruling warrior on the right. The two brothers cooperate tacitly, just like one person. The simple movements have a special rhythmic beauty. However, any two knights can achieve this degree of cooperation, but Roland brightened his eyes, stood up, applauded and said, "Wow, great... Norton and Noah are so handsome."

Norton and Noah brothers are close guards of the patriarch of Flinders. Their relationship is like that of turnans and Pope Clement, or patriarchs cantvette and tamore. These four high-level paladins are also ferocious warriors who ignite the fire of the soul, of which turnans has the highest achievement; Canterwaite, who initially mastered the touch of mind, took the second place; Norton and Noah brothers came last, but they were famous in the small circle of Golden Knights.

It is said that the twin brothers are interlinked. No matter how far away they are from each other, they can feel each other's position and state. If they are close, one reads the letter and the other is like seeing it with his own eyes.

Well, it's very interesting. It's like a trick.

In fact, Roland has been staring at them for a long time. She has always been very clever in the shepherd of Flanders. She also took the initiative to explain that she was lost. Now she praises the Norton brothers for the purpose of watching the performance.

Sure enough, the long princess was as beautiful as the blue lake. In her eyes, the stars were shining and her fingers were clasped. She asked in a charming voice, "I heard that two masters can read letters and read letters alone. Is it true?"

Roland's expression mixed innocence, sincerity, simplicity, admiration, curiosity and desire. It was beautiful and cute. Even Victor couldn't bear to refuse her request.

The twin brothers grabbed the map and said:

"We're not playing tricks."

"So we don't perform."

Roland's delicate little face suddenly collapsed, and Victor felt a burst of regret.

The alchemist's keen intuition talent can achieve tacit understanding in battle, which is similar to the heart connection of the Norton brothers, but not as magical as them. The soul fire of alchemy humans comes from the same source, and the souls of twins can't reach this level no matter how close they are. The Norton brothers obviously practiced some special meditation method, and their spiritual resonance exceeded the alchemist's keen intuition.

If the Norton brothers' rumors were true, Victor would be more interested in the meditation method pioneered by the church.

Although the application scope of spiritual resonance is very narrow, after all, ferocious twins are particularly rare, but this kind of spiritual blood secret method is very valuable for No. 7 alchemy tower. Victor doesn't expect the alchemist militia loaded with relevant skills to achieve the magical effect of the Norton brothers. As long as he can copy half of his keen intuition talent, he will be very satisfied.

Shepherd Frederick coughed lightly, went to the expanded map, pointed to the position marked to open up the leading defense line and said: "Emperor Frederick and commander testier originally transferred the main corps of the Sassanian empire from the eastern defense line to form a coalition of 230000 people with the 7 Temple army to enter and open up the leading defense line, mainly considering two aspects."

"First, deter the six Centaur tribes, make them dare not covet the development of mankind, and force them to consume each other on the territory of the original black hoof tribe."

"The human allied forces are responsible for the early construction of the frontier defense. With the continuous investment of the Imperial Army, we have successfully deterred the Centaur bandits and encouraged the Lord and the people's confidence in exploring the territory. The Sassanian Empire has relocated 550000 free people to the frontier defense, and nearly 800000 people have completed the construction of three new towns and more than 20 castles in three years, and achieved self-sufficiency in food Feet. "

"Second, when the Centaur tribe is exhausted, the coalition forces originally planned to lead the attack from the development and do their best to hit the Centaur tribe without giving them a chance to strike a balance. In this way, the Orc tribes in the east of the Centaur will be ready to move towards them. The drama of ORC fighting will continue to repeat."

Flinders was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "the coalition forces did not take the initiative to attack. According to reason, the Centaur tribes could not unite. They suddenly united and launched an all-round raid on the pioneer leader. We really can't think of the second possibility except the factor of the Orc king."

"Now it seems that our original decision was wrong." The old shepherd said frankly.

"... wait."

Roland stepped forward, pointed to the three marks on the map and asked, "Jumu City, Guangming city and Shuijing city are three new cities? Shuijing city and Jumu city are so close, Guangming city is so far away from them, and there is a large blank area in the middle. For the whole development leading defense line, this is a huge loophole... What did you think when you chose to build the city?"

On the map, the development leading defense line built by relying on the three new towns is north-south. The Shuijing city in the north is close to the Guangming city in the middle, and the defense system is tight, which can support each other. The Shuijing city is located at the southernmost end of the defense line, close to the boulder mountains, and is basically an isolated city. Even if crystal city moves to the middle, the gap in the defense line will not be so large.

In other words, three new towns were enough to open up the leading defense line. Now we must build another city to fill the loopholes in the defense line.

Friedes explained: "Jumu, Guangming and Shuijing city are the legacy cities of the iron mountain empire. They were originally located in the rear of the iron mountain empire. They were not defensive fortresses at all, but resource towns. Jumu city was close to the primeval forest. There was iron ore around Guangming city. Shuijing city was the largest white crystal mining area at present... The iron mountain empire collapsed, and the three cities became the nest of wild orcs and finally fell into the black hoof centaurs In their hands, their walls were destroyed by orcs, but the base of the wall is still intact, and the church Dharma array in the center of the town can also be repaired. We have built giant wood, bright city and Crystal City on the ruins of these three abandoned cities. Otherwise, we can't build three new cities in three years. "

Roland nodded, pointed to the blank area between crystal city and Guangming city and said, "the Sidon Centaur army is assembled in this place. They can break into the Sassanian Empire at any time."

"What?!" Duke Dietrich of dodor Kingdom stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "the Centaurs can't hold on. Why don't they retreat? They choose to break into the Sassanian empire. Isn't this their own way to death?"

Roland turned his head, showed his bright little tiger teeth, and said with a smile, "Uncle bald, it's really self destruction to retreat all the Sidon centaurs."

Victor immediately understood what Roland meant.

Forty-five thousand troops gathered to open up the leading line of defense and contain each other with the main force of the human coalition. Their food supply must be exhausted first. It is reasonable that they should withdraw to tribal territory for food. However, they have a large number of goblin slaves in the rear of the human empire. If they withdraw, many centaurs will starve to death, not to mention the main force of the human coalition will pursue them.

If they all retreat, they will be destroyed. The Centaur can only be divided into two routes. The main force retreats to the tribal territory to rest and recuperate; On the other hand, they broke into the rear of the human Empire to attract the main force of the human coalition, so that they could not pursue their retreating peers.

The Centaur may want to gather goblin slaves and catch up with their retreating peers, but can the main force of the shining knights and the sassanne Empire let them run back to their nest with slaves?

If they can't run out, what direction will they run in?

As long as they are in the territory of the Sassanian Empire, they will be wiped out, but what if they run into the Wharton prairie?

Escape from heaven, develop and grow, cut off the connection between the southern kingdom and the Sassanian Empire, and directly threaten the security of Dodo kingdom.

Centaurs don't know the way to the Wharton prairie, but they must attack where there are many Orc slaves. Lord fahland's ogre wanderers have proved that unarmed humans attract orcs to follow and hunt. Suppose that the patriarch of Flinders let the refugees go south from Tongji City, cross the Wharton prairie and take refuge in the southern kingdom. Then, more than one million Orc slaves in the eastern defense line will tilt towards the most densely populated copper halberd City, and form large and small Orc tribes to point out the escape direction for the Centaur Raiders.

At this time, the bald uncle in Roland's mouth didn't care about the ghost forest development point and the tenant system. He touched the back of his head and sighed, "Crystal City... Alas, chief Shepherd, you have a plan."

By building castles, barracks and sentries, a fortress new city can defend an area with a radius of 250 kilometers and monitor the enemy's movements within 350 kilometers in time. The two fortresses are 450 kilometers apart, and the defense line is stable. The crystal city is too far away from Guangming City, and there is a big gap in the middle. The Centaur army broke into the Sassanian Empire at night. Regardless of factors such as gathering slaves, collecting materials and detour, with their mobility, they can break through the empty Eastern defense line in up to 20 days, reach Tongji City, and then enter the boundless Wharton prairie.

When centaurs gallop on the prairie, how can they eliminate them?

Even if the East defense line restores the troops, the garrison must grasp the trend of the centenas in time so as to advance the troops and carry out the most effective interception. Otherwise, the garrison of the defense line alone will not be able to stop the Centaur Raiders with concentrated strength. There is a big loophole in opening up the leading defense line. The front-line scouts can't monitor the Centaur army in real time. It's possible to be killed by the Centaur in time.

When the brilliant Knights built the Crystal City, even if they moved 200 kilometers north, they would not be like this.

However, building a fortress new city in three years is undoubtedly a dream. The shining Knights abandoned the former site of crystal city and built a new city in the middle. By this time, half of their main force had been wiped out by the Centaur army. From this point of view, the construction of crystal city by the shining knights is really the shelter of the Lord of glory.

The two Highnesses of the kingdom of Dodo now only hope that the patriarch of frides and the grand commander of testil have the most secure plan for the current hidden danger.

Flemish was at Roland Princess Auguste nodded with appreciation. Human beings have not had an all-out war with the orcs for more than 1400 years. The supernatural leaders, including himself, always have a stupid prejudice against the orcs. It was not until the Centaur war broke out that he and testier began to consider all the possibilities. Roland only looked at the war zone map and immediately pointed out the worst situation.

Dietrich and turncroix looked more than once. After all, the Golden Knight didn't react slowly... Friedes thought secretly and said teasingly: "I'm not surprised that your highness led the iron wall knights to move south."

Dietrich made a knightly salute and replied impolitely, "I'm surprised you say so now, chief Shepherd."

The twin brothers glared at dodo's baldheaded highness, but Flemish laughed. "Duke balelius is now the commander of the eastern defense line. I can't interfere with his operation."

The iron wall Knights entered the eastern defense line of the Sassanian Empire and were not under the command of basselius, but they were closer to basselius, who led the army. After all, the Sassanian royal family had only thousands of garrison troops and no Golden Knights, so they could not form equal military support with the main reinforcements of the Dodo kingdom.

Terncrura stopped Dietrich's arm, threw an apologetic look at Victor, and said solemnly, "chief Shepherd, our 45000 cavalry in whitewater fortress immediately set out, and later deployed 15000 infantry to support the eastern defense line. The southern part of the defense line will be handed over to us, and we only ask the Sassanian Royal family to supply food."

Flinders nodded and said with a smile, "no problem. Even if the green wheat production of the whole Sassanian Empire stops and millions of people stay in the Empire, we still have four and a half years of grain reserves."

The Dodo people have to work hard. Victor can understand that they take the initiative to give up the benefits of cooperation, and he doesn't care. Flemish obviously didn't want too many people to flow out, and Gambis couldn't swallow too many people. The kingdom of Dodo did not participate in the distribution of population, and Flemish was easier to compromise with Gambis.

Victor did not consider whether the kingdom of Dodo would go back and secretly intercept the population.

Unless they don't even want the development of ghost forest.

Victor glanced at the long princess with a boring expression from the corner of his eye and remembered Sylvia's evaluation of her:

Roland's sword technique can't be found.

With her sword, the dodos were out.
