Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 31: ·Total War (Part 1)

"The orcs rushed up from the west wall!"

"Reserve!"

"There is no reserve team..."

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

Soon, with the smoke rising into the sky, the call to kill 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, and his face was so gloomy that it was almost a thunderstorm.

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

"Report...Your Majesty, 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 are blocked by the swamp natives and have not yet been able to break through the barrier; as for the Griffin Principality... …" The intelligence officer hesitated and said honestly, "They have recently deployed a group of troops, but they went to support the Great Wall defense line."

King Igor's body trembled slightly, and even his voice trembled a little: "The Griffin Principality...what do you say?"

"They said...the Great Wall line of defense 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..."

King Igor was silent for a long time, and finally punched hard, knocking down the sturdy conference table.

Anyone can see that the Griffin Principality clearly intends to use the power of the orc army to defeat the Eagle Kingdom. It is believed that when the main force of the Eagle Kingdom is exhausted, they will immediately send troops to take the Eagle Wing City and seize the throne of the Eagle as a savior.

However, it does not mean that there is a way to think of it. The Griffin Principality did indeed send all the troops that could be deployed to help maintain the Great Wall defense line. They certainly did not lie on this matter.

The defense of the Great Wall is the top priority, which is certainly true. The elite main forces of humanity are concentrated there, and if the Great Wall defense line is breached, the united war on the main plane will be directly lost.

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

King Igor didn't say anything, he was just sullen and angry. After a long time, he said to the frowning ministers: "Do you think...where else can we find reinforcements?"

"Your Majesty, if we could find reinforcements, we would have looked for them a long time ago." The Prime Minister sighed and replied.

The king also sighed deeply.

This is the biggest problem before the Eagle Kingdom-even if they want to ask for help, there is nowhere to ask for it.

Strictly speaking, the only countries adjacent to the Eagle Kingdom are the Orc Empire and the Griffin Duchy. The Orc Empire is an enemy, and the Griffin Principality is not a friendly army. At present, the real effort is actually the Nation of Thousand Springs and the Federation of Gold Coins, which have no friendship. One of them is ignoring the damage, the army is forcibly climbing over the mountains and crossing the dangerous Broken Cloud Mountains to support, and the other is fighting the swamp natives, seeking to break through the barrier as soon as possible and pass through the northern part of the swamp. In the marginal area, through the Greystone Mountains, came to rescue.

As neighboring countries with little friendship in the past, the Nation of Thousand Springs and the Gold Coin Federation have done a good job, and no one can blame them anymore.

If you want to blame, you can only blame the rebels in the Griffin Principality for being too damned!

"The rebellious group! They want us to die, how can it be so easy!" King Igor yelled angrily, "In any case, we have to survive until reinforcements come!"

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

The ministers immediately complied and drafted the edict.

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

King Igor was taken aback and looked at him ferociously.

The courtier's expression was very bitter, but he insisted: "Your Majesty, now that I have retired, the impact on the military's morale is not too big..."

King Igor certainly understood what he meant—it’s better to retreat now than to wait until the enemy's soldiers are under the city.

But he just sneered, and his smile was gloomy and not warm.

"I won't retire." After laughing, he said word by word, "The city is here, I am. The city is down, and I die. Either win this battle or, here is my burial. Land!"

The expressions of the ministers suddenly changed, but before they could speak, the king continued to say: "Since the establishment of the Eagle Kingdom, most of the kings who died on the battlefield to resist the invasion of the orcs. I am not much more. One less... then I will be ashamed of the Igor family."

He sighed deeply, looked at the worried ministers, and said sincerely: "Everyone, I understand what you mean. But... to be honest, we're afraid we won't really be able to win this battle. La. So at least, I have to die like a king, where I should die, do you understand?"

"And..." He hesitated for a while, and then said his own thoughts. "Perhaps, if I die here,'that one' will look at the face of the dead and save the eagle. Kingdom..."

The ministers all knew who the "one" he was talking about was~IndoMTL.com~If that person makes a move, I believe that no matter how strong the orc army is, it may not be able to take advantage of it. But that person's identity is different, it is really inconvenient to shoot.

So... just as the king said, even for the possibility of getting him to shoot, it's worth fighting for.

The ministers were silent for a long time, and finally laughed bitterly.

"Fortunately, I have a son, so don't worry about being a queen."

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

"My son went to school in Void City some time ago. It is really gratifying that he did not come back this time."

"Congratulations!"

Since ancient times, it has been called the Lord’s humiliation and death. Since His Majesty is preparing to die on the battlefield, they can naturally only follow the king’s footsteps and make this strongest fortress at the southernmost point of the northern fortress group’s defense line. , As his own burial place.

King Igor looked at the bitter but determined smiles of his officials and couldn't help but smile.

"Over the years, our monarchs and ministers have been getting along well. Let's walk the last part of the road together."

On the same day, the King of the Eagle Kingdom solemnly announced that he would personally garrison the fortress, and either persist until the orc army is repulsed or die on the battlefield. Other than that, he will not make a third choice!

When the news came, the heads of countries were surprised, but they also took it for granted. Only the Grand Duke of Griffin Principality smiled triumphantly, rejoicing that his arrogance had worked.

However, he was happy a little too soon.

Just as the orc army broke through another fortress, four fortresses from where King Igor of the Eagle Kingdom was located, the ground of the eastern plain of the Griffin Principality suddenly opened up countless caves. I don’t know where they came from. The army of gnomes and underground creatures rushed out vigorously and took the capital of the principality in the plain area.
