Chapter 74 Mobilization for a Total War! (Part 1)(1/2)
Chapter 74: Mobilization of all-out war! (Part 1)
"Array! Cone array!"
"charge!"
The night covered the Macedonian elite cavalry and accelerated slowly. When the distance was closer to 300 meters, the cavalry clamped the spear head flat and half into the bend of the arms. They began to increase the speed of the galloping horse under their seats to the limit!
A black wave came like a surging wave, and the galloping sound of nearly a thousand horses made the earth tremble slightly!
This black torrent swept by with an indomitable aura!
……………………
The dust fell to the ground.
The soldiers began to clean the battlefield. They needed to collect all the valuable things on these orcs, such as weapons and armor. In this era, a piece of leather armor was of great value, and spoils were an important way to replenish losses in the territory.
General Marcus Kane is treating the wounded and counting casualties.
Murphy, on the other hand, brought a team of soldiers to the orc warriors who were about to die and had not completely died.
Anyway, at least give them a pleasure.
"Governor General." Soon his own casualties were counted. General Marcus Kane quickly walked to Murphy and said excitedly: "Annihilation of 742 enemies!"
"We broke 14 people and were injured about 30."
This can be said to be a brilliant victory!
Almost a complete victory.
Murphy nodded slightly, with no surprise in his expression. With a killer like the "Total War" auxiliary system, plus the Strategy Map page, if he hadn't even had this result on the local battlefield, he wouldn't have thought of defeating the orc army. In fact, if it weren't for the final killing of the powerful orc general and losing some of his men, Murphy could even reduce his casualties to single digits.
"This team of half-orc elites has completely wiped out, and the trouble can be said to be much smaller."
Murphy opened the "Total War" auxiliary system with his eyes closed, and slowly opened his eyes after roughly seeing some changes in the attribute pages.
"You lead the elite Macedonian cavalry to bring these spoils back." Murphy took out something from his arms and handed it to the general Marcus Cain beside him, and ordered him: "You must hand it over to the high priest before dawn!"
"Yes!" General Marcus Kane responded.
Murphy nodded, then turned over and said loudly: "The others come with me!"
Soon, the Crete archers who received almost no damage turned over and caught up with Murphy's footsteps and rushed towards the fortress.
General Marcus Kane assigned the elite Macedonian cavalry to transport the spoils back.
For now, the next battle will not require cavalry to appear.

"Fold one of their claws first!"
"Then force them to fight to the final battle!"
Because the Goddess of Wisdom Athena was shrouded in the range, Murphy had to give up the fortress that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and chose to fight a head-on war with the half-beast army within a distance of less than 50 kilometers of the inner city of Athens!
Only in this way can the half-beast army give up attacking Athens.
When a bone is so hard to bite, it will hurt one's bones, the commander of the orcs will also hesitate to fight Athens to the death!
In fact, in Murphy's plan, he never thought of defeating the orcs in a real sense.
All he had to do was to win a brilliant victory and then express his will to the orcs to the end of the battle.
There are 100,000 people in the Half Beast Army.
But these 100,000 people are half of the population of the entire orc tribe, almost all of them are men.
Unless their commander is a lunatic.
Otherwise, they would not be willing to lose all these people on the land of Athens. Even more than 30% of the casualties were not something they could bear. Because these orcs still had to face the coalition forces of human city-states, and also retained their males and combat power for the entire clan.
This means that as long as Murphy succeeds in making them understand that Athens is a very difficult bone to chew.
Then the initiative in this war fell into his hands.
Did you conquer Athens without hesitation?
Or give up Athens and seek other breakthroughs from the human city-state?
Murphy’s ultimate goal was to tell the commander of the orcs! Although there were only a little over 10,000 warriors in Athens, to take them down, the orcs’ army would have to pay at least more than 50,000 casualties!
Those with barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes!
This is the case with the orcs, isn't Murphy like that?
He really didn't believe that the commanders of the orcs would leave half of the males of the entire clan on this land in order to win a small Athens!
Use the life and death of a race to exchange for a small territory among human beings.
Is this deal worth it?
I believe the chief of the orc would understand very well.
But the premise is that Murphy must first win a brilliant victory!
First, slap half of the beast *** army!
The stronger the Athens is, the more unyielding it is, the higher the possibility of forcing the orcs to give up! As long as Athens shows signs of weakness and surrender, the orcs will probably rush towards them like evil wolf smelling blood!
Everything is actually just two words!
——Fight to the death!!!
Athens dares to fight to the death! Murphy dares to fight to the death!
Now I will only ask whether the orc race dares to fight to the death at all costs?!

The light of the morning light shines on the city walls.
The blood stains left yesterday have become dry, but the dark red patches on the city walls are still so shocking!
Smoke was rising from the camps of both sides of the war. They were preparing food and preparing to face the next battlefield.
With Murphy's intentional arrangement.
During these three days of offensive and defensive battles, all the newly trained Greek heavy infantry after the Battle of Athens Canyon Pass were sent to the city wall to receive the baptism of the orc army. They were all excellent soldiers, and all they had to learn was just a little blood! If their blades and spears were stained with the blood of the orcs, they could quickly transform into an excellent soldier!
This is also the reason why Murphy decided to fight in the rear but still wanted to kill the half-beast army on the fortress for several days.
He wants to train with these orcs!
Let these newly recruited soldiers from Athens be stained with blood and let them go to battle and kill the enemy once!
For these soldiers who have been brutal training in the Temple of God of War, going to the battlefield once is enough to familiarize them with and apply everything they have learned.
Although the casualties in these three days were a little bigger than expected.
But it's all worth it.
Two thousand Greek heavy infantry newly trained after the Battle of the Canyon matured rapidly on the bloody and cruel battlefield.
They no longer simply pierce the scarecrow with a spear, they already understand how to use the weapons in their hands to pierce the enemy's heart!
When the sun's light shines on this bloody battlefield.
The orcs' passionate war drums sounded again!
Ancient and vicissitudes of sacrifice sounded, and amid the song of a bleak loess high slope, the half-beast army threw the shaman into battle for the first time!
The siege equipment that had been rushing for several days was pushed out one after another, and some elite orc warriors wearing armor and holding giant axes were also gathered in front of the formation! The shamans and priests held their strange beast bone necklaces and twisted and jumped the dance of the primitive priests with their staff!
Accompanied by the desolate sacrificial song, pieces of grayish-white powder sprinkled on the orc warriors covered in armor.
General Leodale looked solemn, and he transferred the Spartan heavy-armed fanatical warrior to the top of the city.
The Chief Priest of the God of War closed his eyes. His mighty and majestic body stood solemnly on the top of the city like an iron tower. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice to the general Leodal beside him: "These shamans are presiding on the rituals!"
"They are using drugs to weaken the pain of the soldiers!"
As if to verify the words of the Chief Priest of the God of War, a team of half-beast soldiers pressed over more than a dozen human prisoners and walked onto the altar.
That was the human soldier captured by orcs at Canyon Pass.
They were wearing upper bodies, and the orc priests painted a strange and terrifying pattern on their chests. The faces of these human soldiers were dull, as if they had lost their consciousness, and they were pushed to the altar one by one by the orcs.
A team of swords and axes walked up to the altar!
Click!
One by one, the heads rolled down, and the blood gushed out dyed the altar red.
"roar!"
All the orc warriors surrounding the altar roared furiously. They roared and waved their weapons. The crazy fighting spirit seemed to have infected other soldiers. Even the sound of war drums became excited. Human blood flowed along the grooves on the altar, and these grooves built strange runes, and when all the grooves were filled with blood.
An invisible red light that was invisible to the naked eye fell on the orc warriors!
immediately!
