Finally, it was Baru who raised his hand.
"Since your troops have suffered heavy losses, send my legion to lead the attack."
As Baru finished speaking, the emotions of the people present eased a little.
……
On the other side, the border town of Delaware.
This city fell on the third day after the orcs' invasion. It was also the border city most deeply captured by the orcs. But now, this city has become a bridgehead blocking the orcs' return.
"Thank you, General Xiuwas." On the city wall, Virgil was talking to a man in armor and with gray hair.
"Don't thank me. The Duke and Miss Olivia have both told me to obey the commander-in-chief's orders." Xiuwas said this with a smile. "But I didn't expect that the commander-in-chief this time would turn out to be my son-in-law."
As Duke William's most trusted general, Shuvas had a very good relationship with the Duke's family, so much so that he could often joke about the Duke's family members.
"This is also a good thing, isn't it?" Virgil said. "At least, this way, you will understand that Master Orson's marriage to your family is definitely a good thing."
"I admit that." Xiuwas nodded.
This time, Virgil went deep behind enemy lines. In addition to gathering mercenaries to ambush the orcs, he also had another mission, which was to find out the intelligence around the battlefield and contact the support troops sent by the Dukedom of Prussia.
As a future relative-in-law, Prussia's assistance to the Duchy of Antica this time was considerable. The army sent alone numbered over 10,000 people, plus other material assistance, which was quite a lot.
Before Lucius was assassinated and the front-line commander was vacant, Carlisle temporarily took over as the commander-in-chief. Some of the decisions he made made some generals on the front line dissatisfied, which led to the subsequent collective disobedience.
But even so, Xiuwas did not join the disobedient group. Instead, he helped Carlisle as much as possible. However, he did not speak out at the meeting, making others think that he was also a member of the crowd.
Of course, the recovery of several border cities this time relied not only on the army of Shuvas, but Virgil also brought troops from the royal direct jurisdiction and the Dukedom of Orleans.
The armies in the two regions had good relations with Lucius, so they were willing to send some troops to help Virgil.
Afterwards, everyone followed Orson's plan and surrounded several cities on the border during the days when heavy rains came and the roads were blocked.
Afterwards, they adopted the tactic of surrounding three sides and leaving one side open, making the orcs think that the army on the front line had been defeated, which led to the demoralization of the army and eventually the city fell without being attacked.
After capturing these cities, the human side only suffered losses of about 3,000 people, while the orcs suffered more than half of their casualties.
Afterwards, after successfully taking over the city defense, the human army immediately strengthened the city defense with the aim of building an iron barrier. When the orcs passed by, they would either go around it or bite it and break their teeth.
……
In Phoenix City, Orson is still looking at the battle reports from the front line today.
Everything is going quite smoothly on the front line at the moment, and everything is in line with Orson's plan.
Our large army also began to slowly pursue the orcs along their retreat route through the valley where the orcs passed.
If the orcs did not retreat but chose to capture the city, the wasted time would be enough for the large army to encircle the orcs from both sides.
Just as he was about to take a break, a pair of soft hands suddenly covered his eyes.
"Guess who I am~" Behind him, Olivia's familiar voice once again reached Orson's ears.
"Who else could it be? Of course it's my dear Olivia." Orson said this, reached out and touched the back of Olivia's hand, and said with a smile.
"Hehe, it's been so long since we last met, it seems you haven't forgotten me yet." Olivia said this, let go of her hand, then bent down and put her face in front of Orson.
"do you miss me?"
"Yes." Orson nodded unabashedly.
This made Olivia feel a little shy. Before they established a relationship, the two of them were clearly flirting with each other. However, after they established the relationship, Orson would always play the direct game every time he saw Olivia, which always made Olivia feel confused.
"Hmph, you missed me but you didn't even send me a letter." Olivia blushed, stretched out her hand and poked Orson, then stood up straight.
“It’s been more than 10 or 20 days.
Well, I have to ask others every day to know that you are safe."
"I'm sorry, I didn't think about this." Orson said this, clasped his hands together helplessly, and apologized to Olivia.
After about ten days of discussion, the Imperial Academy Board of Directors decided to set this year's final exam as practical training, and the training location was the front line of the war between humans and orcs.
Here, the academy will be based on classes, and each student's grades will be determined by their performance on the battlefield, and ultimately graded by the class teacher.
Generally speaking, as long as you don't desert the battlefield or get scared before the battle, you will get a passing score in the end.
As for full marks, one has to make significant contributions on the battlefield to get them.
The score difference in this practice is destined to be small, which is a good thing for poor students. As long as they follow behind, they can pass. But for top students, it is a bit troublesome because it is difficult for them to widen the gap with top students of the same level.
But these are not what Orson needs to worry about, because Orson's scoring method is different from theirs.
Who made Orson the commander-in-chief on the front line?
"Okay, okay, I forgive you. You are doing greater things." Olivia said this with a pout, and then she moved a chair and sat next to Orson.
"Have you finished your work?"
"Well, we've finished today's work. If there's no emergency, then we'll just have to wait for new battle reports."
"Okay, so you mean you can spend more time with me?"
"Ahem." Orson coughed twice and glanced to the side. "Of course you can."
Just at this moment, Lit walked in from the door.
She had just helped Orson deliver a letter, and when she came back she saw the woman she least wanted to see appeared next to Orson.
Like a kitten with its fur standing on end, Lit immediately walked up to Orson and poked his shoulder.
"Orson, when did this guy come?"
"What are you talking about this girl?" Orson said, and flicked Lit's forehead with a smile. "You should call her Senior Olivia."
Of course, Orson knew about the relationship between the two.
The relationship between Litt and Olivia is more like that of friend and rival.
Normally, if the two of them didn't mention Orson, they might still be able to talk to each other, but once they mentioned Orson, the two extremely possessive women would more or less have a fight.
"Oh, then, Orson, when did Senior Olivia come?"
"You should ask her about this." Orson said and glanced at Olivia.
"I just arrived." Seeing that Orson was trying to protect her, Olivia was of course very happy. She looked at Litt and showed a gentle smile.
Bitch, but Li Te didn't feel any warmth from it, only the sarcasm in the words.
Orson also said that he saw fewer men, even though he obviously saw fewer women himself.
Of course, Litt did not deny that Olivia was also a very outstanding person, but compared with the even more outstanding Orson, it could not be said that they were a perfect match, it could only be said that they had married someone high up.
However, it was because Olivia was the first to launch an offensive against Orson, and the first to let Orson experience the sweetness of love, that she was the first to win Orson's heart.
After all, when it comes to love, timing is indeed very important.
If an equally outstanding woman appeared at that time, treated Orson well in this way and that way, and then confessed to Orson, Orson would definitely accept it.
Litt has been with Orson for so long, he must know his personality very well. Once Orson recognizes him as his own, he will behave very gently.
Of course, if someone is not considered as one of Orson's own, no matter how good his relationship with that person appears to be, it is all a disguise. When the time comes to use him, he will never hesitate for a moment.
"Hehe, Senior Olivia just arrived, and she ran to Orson without even taking a break. It seems like she missed Orson very much." Litt said this and sat down directly, squeezing into a chair with Orson.
"Of course I do." Olivia looked at Litt's actions, narrowed her eyes, and then leaned towards Orson, squeezing her whole body against Orson.
During the movement, the softness of her chest accidentally touched Orson's arm, and her snow-white and smooth thighs rubbed against Orson's legs, making the latter feel distracted.
Orson was sandwiched between two beautiful girls and experienced for the first time what it meant to have happy troubles.
Chapter 6: Reinforcements Arrive (K)
"Ahem." In the end, Orson was the first to surrender.
, he stood up directly between the two of them.
After all, if he doesn't stand up, little Orson will.
Without Orson's support, Olivia and Litt leaned on each other.
After a brief moment of astonishment, the two people quickly distanced themselves from each other.
They don't want to be so close to each other.
Although Olivia didn't know Litt's real gender, she had already defined him as a boy who liked boys and posed no threat to her at all. But just a moment ago, she still instinctively felt a little repulsive.
It is psychological rejection.
After all, no matter how effeminate or girly he behaves, he is still Orson's younger brother, a real boy.
Olivia thought so.
As for Leeteuk, her reaction was slightly smaller.
After all, she knew that both of them were girls and nothing would happen. But the current situation made the somewhat proud Litt unwilling to admit defeat, so she had to pretend to hate Olivia.
"Hey, you two, can you be a little more normal?" Orson said this, holding his forehead, and then looked at Olivia.
"Okay, Olivia, go back to the academy first. I'm just about to give orders to the academy's troops."
"Eh? We've only been reunited for less than half an hour, and you're going to chase me away again, Orson?"
Olivia said this and looked at Orson with a resentful expression.
Orson couldn't stand the look and quickly looked away.
"I can't help it... The front line is more important. I'll talk about it when I get back to school."
"Okay, I got it~" Olivia said this. Not wanting to cause trouble for Orson, she stood up and walked in front of Orson.
A fragrant breeze blew by, and Olivia walked out of the room.
At this time, Orson's pounding heart slowly returned to normal.
He looked at Lit and sighed helplessly.
"Leet, Olivia doesn't know your real gender, so you should stop being too intimate in front of her in the future. Otherwise, it will be easy for her to misunderstand the relationship between us. I don't want to be misunderstood by Olivia either."
"Okay, I get it." When Litt heard Orson say this, he lowered his head and nodded.
Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with her brother's favoritism towards Olivia, she still forgave Orson because he had sent Olivia away and left the place for the two of them to be alone.
As expected, Orson still likes himself a little better.
Thinking of this, Li Te suddenly felt that he had won again.
Of course, compared to Olivia, the master of love who always knows how to control the distance between men and women, Litt's victory is only on the surface.
The reason why Olivia left was to avoid adding burden to Orson and making him feel tired of being with her. In this way, no matter how much Litt threw a tantrum, the final sky would still belong to Olivia.
Unless Litt can find time to deal with Orson.
But this is even more impossible.
"Well, it's about time we go," Orson said.
"Eh? Going? Where to?"
"The front line, of course."
"Are we finally going to the front line?" Litt showed a look of joy when he heard that.
She had been studying military tactics with Orson for so many days, and now it was finally put to good use. How could she not be happy?
"After all, most of the people have arrived. If we don't leave now, the blood of the soldiers on the front line will be shed in vain." Orson said this with a smile.
On that day, a force of more than 50,000 people stationed around the city of Phoenix moved eastward and joined the troops that had been chasing the orcs in the valley. A total of about 80,000 people headed eastward, constantly recovering lost territory while narrowing the distance between themselves and the main orc force.
……
Two more days passed, and nearly 10,000 of Baru's troops had lost their combat effectiveness under the city of Trava.
No one expected that in a small city like Trava, the human soldiers were not only numerous, but also extremely capable and had a strong will to fight.
Even though the orcs' troops surrounded the city of Trava on all sides, leaving the human army with no hope of receiving reinforcements, their morale did not drop and they did not desert the battlefield.
But in fact, the more they are surrounded, the more it will arouse the fighting spirit of the troops defending the city, and make the defenders fight to the death.
"My troops have suffered heavy casualties in the past two days of siege." Baru said, glancing at the other chieftains below the stage. "But fortunately, the enemy
