It's late at night.

Arthur, Jose, Monkey and others all gathered in Arthur's wooden house. No, it should be Aria's wooden house now.

"We did not find any abnormality in the frequency of orc scouts' activities. Is the war about to begin so soon?" Arthur expressed his doubts.

"According to past experience, orcs usually launch attacks on us in late winter and early spring, and the fastest time should be half a month." Jose explained in a low voice.

Arthur knew a little about the current situation of orcs. There has been no major war between the two tribes in recent years. The population of orcs has grown in recent years. The barren orc wasteland is almost unable to raise so many orcs. Before the summer food comes, many orcs will face hunger this spring, so they often choose to start a war in the late winter and early spring, trying to plunder food from the human race to meet their needs. Even if the invasion fails, a large number of orcs will die in battle, reducing the consumption of food.

"What I really don't understand is why the above orders to retreat. Shouldn't we keep our current defense line?"

Alia also had a confused expression on her face. She had no experience in war and was as puzzled as Arthur.

Jose smiled, "Captain, do you think we will set up a formation to have a face-to-face final battle with the orcs?"

“Isn’t it?”

"Of course not. Thousands of years of war have allowed our human army to summarize a set of methods to fight against orcs. The individual strength of orcs is stronger than that of our human race. If we face a head-on battle on the battlefield, the casualty ratio between us and orcs is 2:1. If we retreat to the city and rely on fortifications and city defense weapons to conduct defensive battles, the casualty ratio will be reversed to 1:3."

"I understand that our retreat is a strategic abandonment of part of the land in exchange for superiority on the battlefield."

Jose nodded.

"Then where are we going to retreat?"

"There are three small cities before the legion headquarters, Hongyan City, which are horns to protect Hongyan City. Our front army, left and right armies, scattered troops will retreat into the city during wartime. Although these cities are not large in size, they are all built specifically to defend against orc invasion. The city has high walls and thick walls, and the city has sufficient food and weapons. If the orcs do not leave behind 50,000 orcs, they will not attack the city. What's more, if the orcs concentrate their forces to attack a city, Hongyan City and the other two cities will send troops to support it. Therefore, if the orcs are not ready to throw down 100,000 corpses, they will not attack the city at all."

Arthur nodded constantly. Fighting based on the city is indeed the most beneficial way for orcs to fight.

"What should I do if there are so many villages on a large tract of land between our defense line and these three cities?" Alia asked suddenly.

Jose hesitated for a moment before slowly saying: "When we retreat, we will also notify the people in the villages and towns to retreat to the city in time."

Alia nodded subconsciously, but found that Arthur's eyes suddenly turned red.

Alia didn't know that Jose did not tell the truth completely. For the army, it was possible to retreat immediately with one order. For the people, it was a family. How could it be so easy to abandon the family and leave the business?

When the people retreated to the city, they were all driving big and small cars, carrying large and small packages, and dragging their families with their families, and carrying the family business they had worked hard to save!

Every time the orcs attack, those who stay in the villages and towns are reluctant to leave their homes, and those who are slowly caught up by the orcs on the road, all become victims of the war between the two tribes.

The little Arthur ten years ago was such a victim. His mother was killed and he was fucked into an orc camp and became a slave!

Don’t the big guys above know the sacrifices of the people?

The world is not kind to treat all things as straw dogs, and the sages are not kind to treat the people as straw dogs.

In the eyes of the king and the great nobles, these sacrificed people are just pawns for victory in a war.

The atmosphere in the wooden house became heavy for a moment and became depressed. Except for Alia, who is ignorant of the world, which veteran doesn't know the inside story?

At this moment, a continuous sound of horns suddenly sounded in the woods.

Jose, Arthur immediately rushed out of the wooden house, turned over and stood on the roof, and a large area of ​​fire lit up from the woods in the distance. The fire was flowing and swept towards the squadron camp.

"The orcs' large army is coming, and the war has begun!" Jose's voice was slight trembling.

The more veteran you are, the more you see life and death, the more you know the fear of war!

"Why? Why did the orc attack begin before the order to retreat was released?" Lund roared in a low voice.

"Why didn't Leon give himself information in advance? Did Bronte come to retreat today and then deliberately conceal the order by taking private revenge? Or did the orc attack be advanced and the legion did not have time to react in advance?" A series of questions surged in Arthur's heart.

I'm afraid this fan can only figure it out when he sees Bronte again, as long as both sides can survive this war!

......

Outside the forest, above a high slope, Leon held his shoulders and looked at the large fire that was pounced on the human defense line and showed a rare smile.

In addition to Shara, Longdong and the werewolf one-eyed one-eyed one-eyed one-sided one-sided one-sided one-sided one-sided one with a big bow on his back, who was also an orc warrior.

Leon's strength has grown rapidly over the past few days. In addition to the four orc warriors who rely on their weight behind him, his orc warriors and warriors have exceeded 100, and the lowest of them are level 3 orc warriors. This force is enough to swallow the small orc tribe in one bite.

"One-eyed, do you like this scene the most?" Leon suddenly asked without looking back.

"I was excited when I thought of killing those humans. I couldn't help but rush forward and tear them apart." One-eyed man couldn't help but let out a low roar.

Leon showed a sneer indifferently. There are many orcs like one-eyed who hate humans from the bottom of their hearts. It is true that humans hate orcs so much that they grit their teeth.

"You seemed not very satisfied with my cooperation with the human opposite me?"

The one-eyed person was so scared that he immediately knelt down on one leg, "I don't dare, I just don't understand why you did this?"

"Get up, you did nothing even though you were dissatisfied. It was better than you had done before."

"Thank you, the master for your compliment!"

Leon sighed, "You don't understand. The big men above shouted more ruthlessly towards the human race than you, but behind my back I didn't know how many dirty deals I made with the human race! If I don't learn to use the power of the opposite side, no matter how many orc warriors I have under my command, I can't beat them."

One-eyed nodded without understanding.

"Then why are you..." Xia La suddenly couldn't help but speak.

"I know what you want to say. My deal with him is not just to take the opportunity to gather a few subordinates. Only by surviving this war can he be qualified to continue the subsequent transaction with me. If he can't even pass this level in front of him, what does his life and death have to do with me?"

Xia La couldn't help but shake her head gently. She was getting less and less able to understand Leon now. After all, he was no longer the arrogant little lion.
