"So, did we encounter a large group of orcs this time? Or was it an alliance of orcs?"

There is no doubt that this is a real headache.

Being located in the Central Plains, that's the bad thing about it.

Accidents can happen from all sides.

Who told them to be caught in the middle?

If you occupy resources, you have to pay a price.

"Where's Luo Yong? I remember that it was Luo Yong's Xuanjia Army who was sent to encircle and suppress the Jackal camp, right?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Xuanjia Army is temporarily stationed in Gaoling City. At the same time, a group of soldiers are escorting several jackal prisoners. On the way back to Mirror City, this animal skin map was sent by Gaoling City.

I sent it back quickly."

"I see."

Leaning on the imperial chair in the audience hall, Luo Ji held his forehead with one hand and pondered for a while.

"Now that this has happened, the original plan to send troops to the grassland next year may have to change again. Guo Jia, what do you think?"

In this regard, Guo Jiali pondered for a while and then slowly spoke.

"Reporting to your Majesty, in my humble opinion, although our civilization of all realms has strong troops and horses, we still have to send troops to the north to guard against the orcs in the bitter cold land."

"Under this premise, if we start a war with the orc forces in the west and the prairie people on the prairie at the same time, we will be surrounded by enemies on three sides, and it will inevitably be difficult."

"If something goes wrong in the middle, it can easily cause a big mess."

"And judging from the current situation, on the prairie, the prairie people themselves are fighting fiercely."

"Although letting the grassland people continue to develop will be a disaster, at least it will not threaten our civilization in the short term, and there is no intention to expand to the periphery of the grassland."

"So, according to Wei Chen's idea, it is better to pacify the orc forces in the west first!"

Listening to Guo Jia's analysis, Luo Ji nodded slightly.

It's kind of like thinking about it with him.

However, Luo Ji had to pay attention to the development of the grassland people.

There is always a knot in my heart.

But now, things are not going as planned as expected.

Just like Guo Jia said.

Even with the current strength of their civilization, it would be unwise to start a war with three parties at the same time.

At this time, what if another player invades?

That would be even more troublesome.

Be on the safe side and choose one party to resolve the issue first.

After pacifying one party, go to deal with the other party.

This is undoubtedly a safe approach.

And put these two forces together for comparison.

The grassland people are fighting a civil war, and it is unlikely that there will be any new actions in a short period of time.

In comparison, the Orc Alliance in the west has already extended its claws to the outer reaches of its western border!

At the same time, the location of Gaoling City has been locked on the map.

And built a camp more than a hundred miles away from Gaoling City.

Those guys want to do something, why do they need to think about it?

Now it seems that Guo Jia's approach of directly asking the Xuanjia Army to be stationed in Gaoling City was correct.

At least it saves me traveling back and forth.

"Transport food and grass to Gaoling City and gather troops."

As he spoke, Luo Ji's eyes fell on the map in front of him again.

"The orcs have low development capabilities. Although they have captured humans to help them with their work and construction, the problem of food shortage should still exist. Before winter, they will definitely attack Gaoling City and plunder the food for the winter."

Having said this, Luo Ji's eyes flashed with an icy coldness.

"We have to take action before they do it, and give them a severe lesson before winter officially begins!"

In response, Guo Jia bowed his hands and asked at the same time...

"Then Your Majesty, will some of the troops originally gathered in the three grassland cities be transferred back?"

"No need, the grassland people have to guard against it. Although the grassland people are fighting a civil war, they may not know when it will be over. It's always right to be careful."

Having said this, Luo Ji pondered for a moment and then spoke again...

"Moreover, it would be too slow to mobilize troops from the grassland. This time, in addition to Luo Yong's Xuanjia Army, the Western Expedition Army should directly mobilize the troops from the Orc Province."

"Calculating the time, the Tauren tribe has been cultivating for a long time. In your previous report, didn't you say that the Tauren and the Jackals are mortal enemies?"

"Just in time, let the tauren gather the infantry troops to be the vanguard this time!"

"As for the general who is commanding the army, let Guo Zhen, the general of Zhenxi, and Du Yuanzhi, the accompanying army staff officer, lead the expedition!"

"I obey the order!"

After Guo Jia retreated, Luo Ji quickly began to draw up the number of troops that needed to be mobilized for this wave.

Recruit four giant elephant warriors.

Three hundred Swift Wolf warriors.

Six hundred kobold spearmen.

Four hundred fox guerrillas.

Five hundred tauren infantry.

Five hundred elven archers.

Two hundred elves were sacrificed.

Five hundred goblin crossbowmen.

In addition, there are five hundred Xuanjia troops and tiger warriors, as well as one thousand human troops who went out with Guo Zhen.

The total strength of this wave of Western Expeditionary Army is directly close to 5,000!

At the same time, it is worth mentioning that most of these are orc troops.

If converted into human military strength.

It is estimated that he went directly to tens of thousands of troops!

There is no doubt that on this trip, Luo Ji planned to make the orc forces in the west have a better memory.

Even if you can't wipe them out in one go.

We should beat them to a pulp directly!

So that they can be honest throughout the winter.

Orders to mobilize troops were quickly sent to various orc tribes.

Among them, when Niu Xian, the leader of the Tauren tribe, received the order and confirmed the enemy forces of this western expedition.

The pair of round bull's eyes began to become bloodshot in an instant.

"Gnoll?!"

Two lines of white gas visible to the naked eye spurted out from his nostrils.

Exaggerated veins popped up on his already extremely thick arms.

No nonsense, as the clan leader, Niu Xian directly put on his armor and went to war!

They are still in the stage of gathering forces.

The tauren, who usually give people an impression of being extremely honest and honest, have already headed straight towards Gaoling City with murderous intent!

It is enough to see how deep the hatred between the two tribes of tauren and jackals is.

This is a blood feud in the true sense!

Troops from all sides began to mobilize rapidly.

After receiving Luo Ji's flying pigeon message, the Xuanjia Army, which was marching more slowly, took the lead in escorting grain and grass from Gaoling City.

Subsequently, the elven troops from the elven province and the orc troops from the orc province followed.

Gradually they gathered into a huge army.

Maintaining a very high marching efficiency, they kept approaching the west.

The first large-scale Western Expedition in the history of all civilizations officially started!

At the same time, there are unknown orc forces hiding in the west of the civilization of all realms.

At this time, it was because of the backward communication methods.

Until now, they still don't know that their frontline camp has been bloodbathed by the Xuanjia Army.

A group of orc troops escorting food were slowly setting off from their own territory and heading towards the frontline camp.
Chapter completed!
