472: Chapter 72, Enemy’s Trace Appears_1 472: Chapter 72, Enemy’s Trace Appears_1 Holy Calendar 99988, December 7, at the repeated request of the Moxi People, the Expeditionary Army had completed the change of guard.
Looking back at the Flying Bear Fort, Hudson couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow.
Over the past few months, the Expeditionary Army had undergone a transformation here, and it was also a leap forward in his life.
From a simple Legion Commander, he had become the Chief Commander of the Expeditionary Army, a unique presence on the entire Human-Orc battlefield.
This speed of ascent, even the top second generation at home, could only look at his back in admiration.
In this respect, Crown Prince Caesar also had a great contribution.
It was because of him, this negative example, that the nobles of various countries “once again” realized that war requires professionals.
Even if they wanted to arrange their descendants, they had to first examine their abilities, rather than simply arrange positions based on their birth.
Invisibly, it left opportunities for many small and medium-sized nobles.
Otherwise, the position of Chief Commander would not have fallen so easily on Hudson’s head.
The Commanders in Chief had taken advantage of this trend to ascend, and the officers below could not be an exception.
In the past, the position of Legion Commander, which was only held by Viscounts or higher nobles, now had Barons, and even Knight Legion Commanders.
Of course, this was mainly due to the special nature of the Expeditionary Army.
Without the second generation picking the fruits, these personnel appointments could be successfully passed.
If it were to be at home, small nobles would have to go through one war after another, accumulating enough prestige before they could possibly be promoted exceptionally.
How long this good days can last, no one can say for sure.
After all, the greatest lesson that humans can draw from history is that they never learn any lessons.
The unity of the nobles is forced out.
Once the situation improves, they will immediately fall into infighting.
Casting a nostalgic glance at the towering city wall, looking at the lush vegetable fields, Hudson knew that this parting might be forever.
Looking at a group of worried and sad officials seeing off, he didn’t know how to comfort, and could only let these people pray for their own good luck.
Although it seemed that two legions were added for the change of guard, everyone knew that the Flying Bear Fort without the Expeditionary Army stationed was almost like an ordinary military fortress.
The return of the Orc Army was just a matter of time.
The vegetable fields outside the city could only hope for one wave of harvest, and couldn’t expect more subsequently.
Not everyone can scare off the Orcs by name.
Perhaps the insulted Bearman Imperial Court would retaliate against the new guards for their previous grievances with the Expeditionary Army.
If they can’t take down the Expeditionary Army, can’t they take down two Moxi Army Corps?
These are all internal affairs of the Moxi Duchy, and Hudson has no ability to intervene.
No matter how tough the task of guarding the Flying Bear Fort is to follow, someone has to stay put.
Leaving this nail to make the Orcs uncomfortable is the greatest value of the existence of the Flying Bear Fort.
“Set off!”
With the command of Hudson, the army stepped forward in neat steps, marching on the journey in a mighty manner.
The solemn atmosphere that hit the face seemed to silently tell: this is a group of Elite Teachers.
…
A hundred and fifty miles away, the Bearman Imperial Court, which had just transferred from the Bertelli region, received the news of the Expeditionary Army’s departure from the city at the first time.
“The enemy is finally out.
Tell the other Four Great Emperor Courts, act according to plan, let them speed up the pace, this time we can’t let the enemy slip away!”
Said the Bearman Emperor Evil fiercely.
As one of the Five Emperors of the Orcs, the actual loss caused by the last expeditionary army’s trampling of the camp was not significant, but the humiliation was huge.
Even after so long, the political impact has not faded.
Every time people mention the Expeditionary Army, they will bring up the background of the Bearman Imperial Court.
Hudson has essentially become a thorn in his side, and his hatred cannot be quelled until the Expeditionary Army is destroyed.
Driven by both hatred and interest, the five Emperors of the Orcs have hatched a large net.
Not only to destroy the Expeditionary Army but also to take the Warhammer Kingdom and Moxi Duchy down in one fell swoop to establish the glorious victory of the Orc Empire.
The bait has been laid down, the early plan was very successful, and now it’s time to test the actual operation.
…
Outside Dapes City, in the Orc Army tent.
Looking at the information provided by the Hawkman Scout, Prince Butzweig gave a cold smile.
In order to lift the siege of Dapes, it involved the movement of hundreds of thousands of troops and could hardly be accomplished overnight.
The armies needed to gather from all corners of the world, there was no way to achieve full synchronization.
Even if the Moxi people were prepared in advance, ordered the armies from all places to close together, and then advanced together towards Dapes City, the flaws still appeared evident in Prince Butzweig’s eyes.
“Three Elite Infantry Legions, two Cavalry Corps, plus five Knight Corps, in addition to fifteen newly edited corps, plus the seven legions of the Expeditionary Army, the total force has exceeded 350,000.
This does not include the garrison in Dapes City.
If all are added together, it is probably not far from 500,000.
They look up on us from the south, north, east, and west.
The Moxi people really value us!”
Prince Butzweig’s words led to a burst of laughter from his officers.
Huge troop number, yet unable to stand against Bimon Army Corps.
During the previous Battle of Dachias, the Human Race also had an absolute troop advantage, but in the end, they were scattered and fled.
