561: Chapter 120, Sorrow_2 561: Chapter 120, Sorrow_2 “Yes, Duke.

The Bimon Cavalry tried several times to engage with the enemy, but they changed directions at the last time.”

Hearing the Wolf Officer’s words, Duke Daniel arrogantly waved his hand and said, “Alright, I get it.”

His nonchalant tone couldn’t change his inner unease.

The situation was getting more and more unfavorable for the Orc Empire, and Duke Daniel had already sensed the danger.

Especially the performance of the allies, which made him feel even more anxious.

Previously, they underestimated the number of reinforcements under Hudson, everyone had limited troops, it was not surprising to avoid direct confrontation with the enemy.

However, now they have gathered significant mobile forces, enough to fight the enemy.

But the Bimon Tribe is still choosing to avoid war, which raises several questions.

Glancing at the Wolf Officers present, Duke Daniel coldly asked, “What do you think, how much would the empire have to pay to defeat or annihilate this human reinforcement?”

As soon as his words fell, it caused a stir among the wolfmen.

The usually arrogant and autocratic Duke Daniel was actually asking for their opinions.

However, they would rather be spared this honor.

If even their War God was unsure of victory, the rest of them were even more anxious.

“Duke, considering Earl Hudson’s past military achievements, I’m afraid it will require the sacrifice of a full Bimon Army Corps to annihilate them.

However, if you were to command the battle, this loss could be significantly reduced.”

Thomas’s words immediately caused discomfort among the Wolf Officers present.

When did the Bimon Army Corps become a measure of loss?

“Don’t flatter indiscriminately.

No matter who is commanding, it will be costly to defeat the enemy.

Don’t forget the forces now commanded by Earl Hudson, are no longer the original thirty thousand cavalry, but also the constantly gathering Alpha Kingdom’s Elites.

By the time the major battle breaks out, the enemy’s troops might exceed one hundred thousand.

Being able to exchange one Bimon Cavalry Regiment for so many enemies is a very difficult task.”

While arrogant, Daniel was always very clear-headed when facing reality.

As major troop contributors of the Orcs, their capabilities vary.

A Bimon Cavalry Corps represents the power of two Silver Moon Wolf Cavalry Legions, their fighting strength is substantial.

If used properly, they could generate a force on the battlefield that surpasses ten regular Human Cavalry Corps.

Of course, this is only a theoretical number.

If confronted head-on, the Bimon Cavalry still cannot beat ten Human Cavalry Corps.

Ordinary Bimon Cavalry might be able to fight ten-to-one, but there are a large number of aristocratic military officers in the Human Cavalry Corps whose fighting strength is not inferior to theirs.

Even the guards alongside the nobles also have considerable combat power, their individual combat capability is not weaker than ordinary Bimon.

Under these circumstances, even the usually decisive Daniel was filled with hesitation about whether to dispatch troops to annihilate the enemy.

To annihilate the enemy’s reinforcement army, sacrificing two or even more main army forces of its own, is this really worth it?

“Send people to ask Marquis Ussuh and Prince Butzwieg if they are interested in joining hands to carry out a big operation.

Annihilate the enemy’s reinforcements, seize the enemy’s line of defense, bypass the enemy’s fortress, and directly destroy the Alpha Kingdom!”

As soon as these words fell, the wolf officers behind him were shocked.

Their commander in chief indeed had a big appetite.

The whole plan linked ring by ring, any unexpected situation at any link could cause heavy losses to the army.

If this gamble was lost, the Orc Empire would be utterly ruined.

Having lost their high mobility cavalry, they would fall completely into a passive position in the upcoming battles.

“Duke, this plan is too big, should we report to the Imperial Court first?”

Thomas nervously suggested.

“What are you afraid of?

Ussuh and Butzwieg might not even have the guts to agree.

If reported to the Imperial Court, it would be even less likely to pass!

If the situation deteriorates to this extent, and they still dare not gamble, when the human alliance’s main army arrives, there will be no chance to gamble.

You can’t still think that we can compete with humans in a conventional war, can you?”

Duke Daniel said mockingly.

In his view, the war was wrong from the start.

A small-scale invasion to the south to grab some resources would have been fine, but a full-scale invasion challenging the humans was the biggest mistake.

The “Human Race” could become the “Continent Dominators” only after countless battles, not simply by taking advantage as described in the Orc Empire’s history books.

If a bargain was so easy to find, why wouldn’t the many species on the mainland go for it?

Why would they leave the opportunity to the human race?

Even if they really wanted to challenge the Dominator, they should at least have a few allies together, not a single challenge.

…

As night fell, the orc’s pursuit came to a halt, and the nobles’ allied forces in the Southeastern Province finally had a brief respite.

As the primary target of the Orc Army, the southern aristocracy had been reduced from the initial eighty thousand, to seventy thousand, sixty thousand, fifty thousand, and finally to just over five thousand.

Remember, they still had over nine thousand in the morning.

In just one day, another four thousand were lost.

With so many troops, not all of them could have been killed in battle.

However, they had been scattered over the vast grasslands and were still being pursued by the enemy, making it impossible for them to regroup!
