Chapter 928 · Total War (Part 1)

"The orcs are rushing up from the west wall!"

"Reserve team!"

"There is no reserve team..."

"...Come with me if you are not afraid of death!"

Soon, with the thick smoke rising into the sky, the shouts of killing gradually subsided, and another fortress fell.

The contemporary king of the Eagle Kingdom looked at another area on the magic map that turned from blue to red, his face so gloomy that it almost felt like a thunderstorm.

But he finally held back, and just asked in a gloomy voice: "Have the reinforcements... not arrived yet?"

"Report...report to Your Majesty that the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Thousand Springs are still on the way. The terrain is rugged and the march is difficult; the reinforcements from the Gold Coin Federation have been blocked by the group of swamp natives and have not yet been able to break through the obstruction; as for the Griffin Principality..." Responsible for The intelligence officer hesitated for a moment, then said honestly, "They have recently deployed a group of troops, but they are only to support the Great Wall defense line."

King Igor's body trembled slightly, and even his voice trembled: "What do you say about the Griffin Principality?"

"They said...the Great Wall defense line is the most important thing. They also said that since the Eagle Kingdom has been able to block the orc army in the past, it will definitely be able to do so this time..."

King Igor was silent for a long time, and finally punched hard, causing the solid conference table to collapse.

Anyone can see that the Griffin Principality is clearly planning to use the power of the orc army to defeat the Eagle Kingdom this time. I believe that when the main force of the Eagle Kingdom is exhausted, they will immediately send troops to attack Eagle Wing City and seize the throne of the Eagle as a savior.

However, just because you can see it doesn't mean there is a solution. The Griffin Principality indeed sent all the troops it could mobilize to help maintain the defense line of the Great Wall, and they certainly did not lie on this matter.

It is certainly true that the Great Wall defense line is the top priority. Humanity's elite main force is concentrated there. If the Great Wall defense line is breached, this main plane unification war will be lost directly.

But...how could the Great Wall defense line be breached! If those orcs had the ability to break through the Great Wall defenses, how could they come to attack the Eagle Kingdom!

King Igor said nothing, just sullen. After a long time, he said to the gloomy ministers: "Do you think...where else can we go to find reinforcements?"

"Your Majesty, if we could find reinforcements, we would have gone there long ago." The Prime Minister of the Kingdom replied with a sigh.

The king also sighed deeply.

This is the biggest problem facing the Eagle Kingdom - even if they want to ask for reinforcements, there is no place to ask for reinforcements.

Strictly speaking, the countries adjacent to the Eagle Kingdom are the Orc Empire and the Griffin Principality. The Orc Empire is the enemy, and the Griffin Principality can't be considered a friendly force. At present, the ones who are really making an effort are the Kingdom of Thousand Springs and the Gold Coin Federation, which they usually have little friendship with. One of them is ignoring the damage, forcing the army to cross the mountains and ridges, crossing the naturally dangerous Duanyun Mountains to come to support, the other is fighting the swamp natives to a bloody head, just hoping to break through the obstruction as soon as possible and cross the northern part of the Great Swamp. fringe areas, and then through the Greystone Mountains to come to the rescue.

As neighboring countries with little friendship in the past, the Country of Thousand Springs and the Gold Coin Federation have done very well, and no one can blame them anymore.

If you want to blame it, you can only blame those traitors in the Griffin Principality for being such bastards!

"Those rebels! They want us dead, how can it be so easy!" King Igor roared angrily, "No matter what, we must hold on until reinforcements arrive!"

"Pass my order to mobilize all local militias and border guards to form a follow-up force to support the northern front!"

The ministers immediately obeyed the order and went to draft the edict.

At this moment, a close minister whispered: "Your Majesty, seeing that the battle line is not far from our place, do you want to retreat?"

King Igor was stunned and looked at him fiercely.

The close minister looked bitter, but insisted: "Your Majesty, if you retreat now, the impact on the morale of the army will not be great..."

Of course King Igor understood what he meant - it was better to retreat now than to wait until the enemy came to the city, and it was better than to flee in embarrassment when the city was broken.

But he just sneered, his smile was gloomy and without any warmth.

"I will not retreat." After laughing, he said word by word, "If the city is here, I will be here. If the city falls, I will die. Either win this battle, or this is my burial place!" "

The expressions of all the ministers suddenly changed, but before they could speak, the king continued: "Since the establishment of the Eagle Kingdom, there have been more kings who died on the battlefield to resist the invasion of the orcs. One more of me is not more, and one of me is less. ...It would be an embarrassment to the Igor family.”

He sighed deeply, glanced at the worried ministers, and said sincerely: "Everyone, I understand what you mean. But... to be honest, we are afraid that we really can't win this battle. So. At least, I want to die where I deserve to die like a king, do you understand?"

"And..." He hesitated for a while, and then said his thoughts, "Perhaps, if I die here, 'that one' will save the Eagle Kingdom for the sake of the dead person... "

The ministers all knew who the "one" he was talking about was. If that person took action, I believe that no matter how strong the orc army was, they might not be able to take advantage. But that person's identity was different, so it was really inconvenient for him to take action.

So...as the king said, even for the possibility of letting him take action, it is worth risking his life.

The ministers were silent for a long time, and finally they all smiled bitterly.

"Fortunately, I have a son, so I don't have to worry about the end of my life."

"I only have a daughter, so I lost money this time!"

"My son went to school in Void City some time ago. It's really gratifying that he didn't come back this time."

"Congratulations!"

Since ancient times, it has been said that the main thing is to worry about the humiliation of the ministers, and the main thing is to humiliate the ministers to death. Since His Majesty the King is ready to die on the battlefield, then naturally they can only follow the King's footsteps and use this strongest fortress, located at the southernmost end of the northern fortress group's defense line, as their own. 's burial place.

King Igor couldn't help but smile when he looked at the bitter but determined smiles of his ministers.

"Over the years, our monarch and his ministers have gotten along quite well. Let's all walk together on this final journey."

On that day, the King of the Eagle Kingdom solemnly announced that he would personally guard the fortress and either persist until the orc army was repelled or die in battle. Otherwise, he would not make the third option!

When the news came, the heads of state were surprised, but also took it for granted. Only the Grand Duke of the Griffin Principality smiled proudly, overjoyed that his conspiracy had worked.

However, he was happy a little too early.

Just when the orc army broke through another fortress, which was still four fortresses away from the fortress where King Igor of the Eagle Kingdom was located, countless caves suddenly opened underground in the eastern plain of the Griffin Principality, and dwarfs and underground people came from nowhere. The biological army rushed out in a mighty manner and headed straight for the capital of the principality located in the plain area.
