Chapter 557: The Beast Race's Plan
Just as Li Huailin expected, after the Orcs received this new battle report, their first reaction was that they couldn't believe it. The Second Legion was still wreaking havoc on their own land. How could their legion leader suddenly Just run there.
But soon, they all figured out what was going on. Speaking of the information that came back in the past few days, the Second Legion was still desperately massacring the city, but according to the investigation and the reports of those who escaped, it was true that they hadn't seen it. To the commander-in-chief of the opponent, but it is impossible for them to think that the opponent actually went there.
They can only accept this failure, but the question is what to do now. According to Corbat's report now, their troops are still 54,000, and they are still on the territory of the elves. It is estimated that it will take two days to escape back to their own territory. The number of soldiers who fell down the mountain or died of starvation is increasing every day. The soldiers who can escape do not know how many soldiers are left. Even if they escape, these soldiers will need to rest for a few days before fighting again.
But now the orcs can't support it anymore. The second legion of the human race is still marching towards their main city, and the losses are getting bigger and bigger every day. Every time the news comes back, all the patriarchs will pat their hearts and sigh. Now The only remaining main force of the orc clan was also disabled, and they couldn't make it back. Didn't this force the orc patriarchs to have a heart attack?
Corbat put forward his own point of view in his letter, that is, to end the fighting immediately and cease the war with both sides. In Korbat's view, it should be easier for the elves to stop the war, because the elves themselves are not feeling well this time. The main army is almost completely wiped out, and the remaining troops should be similar to their own. And after several months of long-term combat, they are extremely tired. Now they probably don't want to fight anymore, but the human race is more difficult. Now that the human race has the upper hand, the second army is almost hitting the main city. My own reinforcements, the Demon Race, probably won't bring out the only remaining third legion, so that no one can stop the second legion, why do they have to retreat. So Corbat said that even if he paid a small price, he would let the human race retreat.
As for Corbat's opinion, a discussion started immediately here. The patriarchs basically agreed with Corbat's opinion. Now a large number of refugees have begun to appear in the main city of the orcs. The food they consume every day is too much for them. If they are not given food, the refugees may rebel. The Duke of Aquitaine The strategy was too vicious. Before the soldiers of the Second Legion arrived in the main city, a huge crisis had already appeared in the main city.
The resolution on the armistice was quickly passed by the parliament. The war must be ceased immediately, it is really impossible to fight. But the question is, will the human race agree? What price should we pay for the people to agree to withdraw their troops?
The orcs are very poor, really poor, especially now that they are going to spend the winter, and there is no food at all. This time, I didn't get anything from the autumn wind. Corbat had robbed a lot, but in order to retreat, a large amount of food was left in the city of Zulina.
So the orcs really can't come up with anything decent for the people to retreat.
"Chief, I have a plan." At this time. Kalairon, the leader of the sheep clan, stood up suddenly and said.
"Tell me." Dilbao was having a headache, and now that he heard that someone had a plan, he naturally listened to it immediately.
"In fact, we don't have to pay much, we still have a very big bargaining chip." Carrelon said.
"What is it?" Dilbao asked.
"Does the chief patriarch remember the war between us and the human race a year ago?" Carelon asked.
"Of course I remember." Dilbao had participated in the battle in person at that time, and he felt a little sad when he thought of Dilbao. A year ago, the human race and the orc race fought back and forth, and the orc race still had some advantages. Unexpectedly, a year later, he would be beaten so badly that he almost destroyed the country.
"Grand Patriarch, during the great war at that time, Marshal Morfas Murat, the father of Anthony Murat, the current Emperor of the Human Empire, died in battle. His body is still preserved with us as a spoil of war." Carillon reminded.
"That's right!" Dilbao suddenly realized that Morphas's body was well preserved. The so-called symbol of the glory of the orc race, something similar to a trophy for killing the leader of the race, was very well preserved. Something, that is definitely what the human emperor wants now.
"Oh, that's right, it's a good plan!" "Yes, the other party won't refuse now." The patriarchs next to him also said that this method is good, you can't just leave your father's body alone.
"However... there is a hidden danger." Karelon said suddenly.
"What hidden danger?" Dilbao asked.
"Duke of Aquitaine." Carreron said immediately, "Presumably with his ability, it is very easy to see our current situation. I don't think he will stop this battle so easily. He will definitely destroy us with all his strength. According to current information, the Duke of Aquitaine and the Emperor of the Human Empire are very close, almost like brothers of the opposite sex, if he strongly opposes the truce, even if we offer his father's body, it will not be so easy to reach a consensus."
"Is that so?" Dilbao asked.
"He only needs to tell the human emperor, 'We will win the battle soon, and then we will be able to get your father's body back directly, without them sending it away.' It will be very difficult to reach a consensus." Lailon said.
"Indeed." "Yes, this is also true." The patriarchs next to him also nodded, agreeing with Karelon's words.
"Damn..." Dilbao clenched his fist hard. This Duke of Aquitaine is simply a nightmare for their orcs. Could it be that the orcs are really going to perish in his hands?
"However, chief patriarch, I also have a way to get the Duke of Aquitaine to agree to a collegiate meeting." Carelon said with a slight smile.
"Oh, what's the way?" Dilbao said expectantly. Carrellon's proposal just now was very reliable. Now that he said that he hoped that Li Huailin would also agree to a truce, he immediately looked forward to it.
"Hmm..." Karai Long paused, and then said, "The Duke of Aquitaine of the human race, from now on, it seems that this guy has almost no weaknesses. , but I heard something about him from other sources, which may be a weakness."
"What is it?" Dierbao immediately asked, this is really important, no one can beat this guy so far, if there is a weakness, it would be great.
"Do you know that a few days ago, the two dukes of the human race were killed by the duke of Aquitaine?" Carelon said.
"I know." Of course I know. "The patriarchs replied one after another. Naturally, the whole continent knows about this important matter. Li Huailin killed the other two dukes, but he was not punished by King Anthony. This made everyone understand how strong the relationship between Anthony and Li Huailin is. .
"Actually, my spies in the human race have found out some situations, and some private matters are not the same as what the human race announced." Carreron said, "According to my information, the reason why the Duke of Aquitaine attacked other Two dukes, because of a woman."
"Women?" All the patriarchs were shocked, this was something they had never heard of.
"And this woman is very special. She is the earl of the human empire, the lord of the city of Muryek in the south, Ceci Ellentis Oribela." Carelon said.
"Oh, that's it?" Dilbao nodded. "So it's for women. It seems that the Duke of Aquitaine is also a womanizer, but what's so strange?"
There is nothing strange about lustful people, do you think there are still few lustful men? The ones that are not lecherous are the rare ones, which is worth noting.
"As I said, this woman is very special because... she is only twelve years old this year." Carreron explained.
"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback.
"It's more informative. She is now the second lady of the Duke of Aquitaine, but it hasn't been announced publicly yet." Carreron continued.
"You mean...the Duke of Aquitaine, likes...a woman?" Dierbao said.
"That's what it means." Carreron said immediately.
"What does this have to do with us? Does the woman he likes have anything to do with the peace talks?" Dilbao asked.
"It has a lot to do with it, Chief Patriarch. What do you think he can do to kill two Dukes of the Empire for the sake of a twelve-year-old woman?" Carelon asked. .
"This... seems to make sense, you continue." Dilbao nodded thoughtfully.
"As long as we find a woman who suits his appetite, I think it will not be difficult to buy the Duke of Aquitaine." Carrelon said, "As long as the Duke of Aquitaine does not object to collusion, then if we want to persuade humans King, it's much easier.
"It makes sense..." Dilbao nodded, "What do you think?"
"It does make sense."
"It's better than nothing. In our current situation, as long as we can reach a consensus, we must try any means."
"Yes, since the other party likes it, it doesn't matter if we send a few."
A group of patriarchs nodded and said that this method is worth a try.
"Then, what woman are we going to send?" Dilbao asked.
"Grand patriarch, I know the aesthetics of the human race very well. I think I can complete this matter." Carreron said immediately.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. For the overall interests of the orcs, no woman can refuse. Do you understand?" Dilbao ordered.
"Yes." All the patriarchs replied together. (To be continued..)
