In order to resist the attack of Rose's troops, the soldiers of Wansheng Kingdom built fortifications in many locations in the Rose Empire.
These fortifications are similar. The orcs use local materials, either by repeatedly crossing sharpened wood to construct one roadblock fence after another, or by piling up stones to form one bunker after another for the magicians to attack.
Behind these fortifications, the orcs set up makeshift dwellings and constructed tall watchtowers.
There are sentries stationed on the watchtower 24 hours a day so that they can detect the movements of human troops at the first opportunity.
The troops led by Fei Luo Ake were so powerful that the soldiers watching from afar on the sentry tower soon noticed their arrival and hurriedly sounded the alarm:
"Report! It's a human army! They are rushing towards us, but the exact number of people cannot be determined for the time being."
The orc officer looked stern and called his subordinates:
"Pass on my order, all troops prepare for defense!
We must defend this place.
I know it's hard and you must be prepared to sacrifice your life for your country.
We must not surrender unless it is absolutely necessary."
The sentry standing on the simple sentry tower looked into the distance again, his face instantly twisted into a knot:
"This is an emergency. Their numbers are far beyond imagination. It is estimated to be over 10,000. I repeat, it is estimated to be over 10,000."
"What did you say? Ten thousand?"
The border situation between Wansheng Kingdom and Rose Empire is complicated, and the troops are dispersed at multiple points. It is rare for a large number of troops to be concentrated in one place.
The orc officer pricked up his ears and caught the sound coming from a distance. He lay down and put his ear close to the ground to further confirm.
The sound of footsteps coming from the ground will not lie, the number of enemy troops is far beyond their imagination.
Soon, even without going very close to the ground, the orcs could hear the chaotic sound of horse hooves and roars from the Rose Empire's troops.
The troops of the Rose Empire are approaching.
Using [Lightness] and other acceleration magic, the magicians of the Rose Empire followed the Rose Empire's large army while chanting magic intermittently.
As soon as the target reached the range, the magicians fired the magic in their hands at the orc soldiers who had just completed their preparations.
The orc magician instantly opened the defensive shield to welcome the incoming magic.
The gap in strength between the two sides was soon revealed.
The colorful magic of the Rose Empire immediately engulfed the shield woven by the Wansheng Kingdom's magicians, triggering several huge explosions and eventually blowing up the defense line built by the orcs.
The extremely fast-moving cavalry of the Rose Empire arrived in front of the orc fortifications the moment the explosion stopped, waving their weapons and charging into the chaotic orc soldiers.
In an instant, the orcs' screams rang out one after another.
Many brave orc soldiers stood up, holding their weapons tightly, and fought against the attacking Rose soldiers.
They knew that this was a battle with no chance of winning, and rather than fighting, surrendering directly was the way to survive.
However, these large numbers of Rose soldiers must have come prepared. If they surrendered like this, they would definitely invade Wansheng further with lightning speed.
Fighting means death, and not fighting may cause more people to die.
They thought that even if they could only buy a little time, they had to slow down the pace of the Rose Empire's attack.
This war has been stalemate for a long time, and we must not let any problems arise on our front line first.
Wielding their weapons and using all their life's training, the garrisoned orc soldiers launched a reckless resistance.
What they did was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the eyes of Feiluo Ake's troops.
These savage orcs must all be crushed mercilessly.
As long as anyone dares to block the empire's conquest, Feiluo Ake will raise his butcher knife against them without mercy.
All this is for the glory of the empire.
The assault force of the Rose Empire caught the Wansheng Kingdom off guard. They crushed the Wansheng Kingdom's defense points one after another and headed straight for the important cities that needed to be captured.
Feiluo Ake's troops moved like thunder, with almost no pause during the march. They didn't even have time to confirm the life or death of some Wansheng soldiers, or to clear out the spoils.
The situation was almost the same for Rose's troops on other fronts.
The reason why the Rose Empire acted so hastily was that the tactics adopted by the Rose Empire had a fatal flaw.
Since they have to avoid most of the dense jungles, the routes available to the Rose Empire are far fewer than imagined. If the people of Wansheng Kingdom notice their movements and set up an ambush in advance, their attack will be in vain.
In response, the Rose Empire played the trump card of blitzkrieg.
As long as we can keep up with the speed of information transmission between orcs and advance quickly, we can kill the orcs before most of them can react.
Most of the soldiers in Feiluo Ake's troops are cavalrymen suitable for mountain warfare. These cavalrymen can demonstrate excellent mobility whether in the mountains or in the plains.
After reaching the flat area, the magician skillfully summoned a carriage and asked the soldiers to mount their horses so that they could keep up with the cavalry.
Soon, Feiluo Ake's troops arrived at the next defense point.
They once again broke through the orc soldiers' defense line in the simplest and most brutal way, slaughtered the orc soldiers who insisted on fighting, and then clapped their iron hooves and continued to move forward.
After leaving this pass, the barren mountains are still in front of us. Occasionally, some gravel can be seen, but most of the scene is still low vegetation and yellow soil, and the air is still filled with a little bit of sand and dust.
After passing here, Feiluo Ake and his troops will inevitably come into contact with some forest areas.
Once there, they won't be able to gallop as fast as they are now, but will have to be careful everywhere.
Spots of green appeared before his eyes, and the area where Fei Luo Ake could move quickly was almost coming to an end.
On the mountain some distance away from the forest, Feiluo Ake discovered another orc army.
This orc troop, numbering less than two thousand, stood there motionless, as if they had noticed something. Finally, they all looked towards the attacking troop of Feiluo Ak.
"As expected of an orc, you captured our movements so quickly."
Feiluo Ake sneered. The orc troops who noticed their arrival did not panic too much. Instead, they stood where they were and organized their defense calmly.
Seeing this scene, Feiluo Ake snorted coldly.
"The orc troops are also learning, and they are learning very well, but this is just a poor imitation."
Patting his mount, Feiluo Ake led his troops to speed up.
The troops on the mountain did not have any defensive fortifications around them, which meant that they were most likely troops sent forward to provide support.
This moment is the time when they can be crushed mercilessly!
