324: Chapter 15, Augustusburg_2 324: Chapter 15, Augustusburg_2 Line after line of defense, the enemy clearly wants to use these castles to continuously bleed us, slowly eroding our strength.
Continuing to march onwards aggressively, I fear that by the time we reach the capital of Alpha Kingdom, we will already be exhausted.
This is the enemy’s usual tactics, we always consume too much in the early stages of the war, resulting in a lack of sufficient explosive power in the later stages.
Compared to this, the situation in the other two human kingdoms is much better.
As long as their front lines are broken, the resistance behind will be much weaker.
From the map, as long as we…”
Before Augustine could finish his speech, Alex interrupted, “Legion Commander, similar plans have already been made in the Empire.
However, the ones responsible for carrying them out are not us, but the Hawkman Tribe with the highest mobility.
Don’t disclose the specific plan, it’s enough that you know about it.
What we are carrying out now is a diversion plan, trying to attract the attention of the human race as much as possible.
Of course, if we can find an opportunity to break through the checkpoint ahead, that would be even better!”
What seemed to be trust was a necessity for Alex.
As the crown prince, he needs to have a few trusted confidants.
If he pretended too successfully in the early stage, now if he wants to win over followers, Alex must show more sincerity.
As a great general, Augustine undoubtedly has a high value to win over.
Deliberately revealing part of the secrets is Alex’s way of winning over people.
….
Augustusburg, as the most important part of the defense of the Moxi Duchy against the Orcs, has always been heavily guarded.
After the outbreak of the war, it became the frontline.
As the defending commander, Ulbis is having a good time.
Since the outbreak of the war, he has launched seven ambushes against the Orc army outside the city, all of which have achieved good results.
If it hadn’t been for the king’s strict orders, he would have organized the eighth ambush.
Although those killed were all weak, compared to his colleagues who passively took punishment, Ulbis can totally be considered triumphant.
If this situation continues, Ulbis has a high probability of obtaining the title of a marshal.
And it’s not just a marshal of the Moxi Duchy, but a marshal recognized by all human nations.
This is also a measure taken by the Human Alliance to encourage everyone to fight against different races.
As long as you have made significant contributions in external wars, the titles and ranks you gain will be recognized by all the human nations.
With such a title, he will be accepted in all human nations.
Ulbis has already immersed himself in glory, as if he has become a hero of the human race.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
Huge rocks falling from the sky directly stunned the defenders of the city.
The crossbow arrow, magic crystal cannon, and catapult deployed on the wall were destroyed immediately.
Upon receiving the message, Ulbis quickly ordered:
“Quick, send a signal for the Gryphon Cavalry to come and reinforce!
Order the archers to organize a counterattack immediately.
All officers with flying magical beasts in the army, take off immediately to disrupt the formation of the hawkman.
Notify the Mage Corps, and prepare to launch…”
It seems that Ulbis is somewhat capable.
After being attacked by the enemy, he immediately used all the available forces at hand for a counterattack.
Unfortunately, it was all too late, the number of hawkman who initiated the ambush was too high.
In addition to ordinary hawkman, there were also hawkman sacrifice shamans.
Although the power system is different, the combat means are similar to mages.
The only difference is that these guys can fly.
The Mage Corps just made a move and was ambushed by the hawkman mages and archers in the sky, suffering heavy casualties in an instant.
The scattered noble officers taking to the sky, although having strong combat power, were too few in number, and quickly fell under the siege of the hawkman experts.
The archers below, let alone, apart from a few sharpshooters, most archers couldn’t shoot the hawkman flying high in the sky at all, and the falling arrows hurt a lot of their own people instead.
The chaos on the wall created an opportunity for the Orc Army outside the city.
Taking advantage of this chaotic opportunity, countless Orcs had already climbed up the walls.
Under the cover of aerial forces, the city wall was quickly taken.
By the time the Gryphon Cavalry of the Moxi Duchy arrived, the situation was already one-sided.
Due to the number of gryphon cavalry, they had no power to compete with the hawkman for air supremacy, and they quickly retreated after a brief confrontation.
Without the support of aerial forces, Ulbis could only order the defenders to retreat to the inner city and resist step by step with the cover of the buildings in the city.
As time went by, the battle for Augustusburg became more and more intense.
On one side, there is the Orc Army that is constantly pouring in; on the other side is the defending army without any way out, fighting desperately.
The most intense scene since the outbreak of the war has begun in Augustusburg.
Except for a few strongmen who escaped with the surviving mages, all the defenders exploded with the blood of the human race.
With their bodies of flesh and blood, they performed the tragic song of the human race with every inch of the land and every drop of blood.
…
In the capital, Chris the Ninth, who received the bad news, fainted on the spot.
When he woke up, it was already evening.
Although the battle at Augustusburg hadn’t stopped yet, everyone knew that the fall of the castle was only a matter of time.
The worst situation really happened.
The Orcs fought violently in Alpha, it was just a plot to make them let their guard down.
The war still did not escape the law of “picking the soft persimmons” to squeeze.
Augustusburg was just the beginning, as the weakest nation among the three human nations, the Moxi Duchy was about to face the most brutal beating from the Orcs.
