The three barons Burnham, Cisse, and Tynes were relatively powerful and mobilized 20,000 serf soldiers to their maximum. These serf soldiers fought bravely. They formed a coalition and fought to the death, even causing the orcs to lose 2,000 soldiers.

Capture of Burnham Castle.

Although five baronies were conquered after the victory, the orcs had already lost 3,000 troops at this moment. Coupled with the 2,000 troops lost in Burnham territory, the strength of the orc army going south was less than 10,000.

By this time, the orcs had captured a large number of people and supplies, achieved their strategic goals, and were no longer prepared to fight a hard battle with the soldiers of the Kingdom of Grant.

After the orcs divided their forces and went south, Richard did not take the initiative to ask for a battle.

In the previous battles, Harland Territory had already lost some soldiers. More than 200 soldiers were killed in the previous battles, and there were also 400 to 500 wounded soldiers.

Relative to the number of soldiers in the territory, the casualties are already considerable. If the backbone of veterans is eliminated and there is no virtuous cycle, it may take ten years to build up this elite army again.

Therefore, in the next battle, Richard tried his best to avoid fighting.

The orcs in the northern part of the Platos fortress group did not want to pay too many casualties due to the blockade of the trebuchets, and did not take the initiative to attack the fortress.

The state of peace on the Northern Front lasted until June.

In the past three months, the orcs who divided their forces and went south fought successively and defeated five baronies, and even entered the Rab Basin to rob it.

In just three months, the orcs had already captured a population of 120,000.

Such a heavy loss made the capital extremely angry.

King Roger had led troops to fight for many years, and he immediately grasped the key. He wrote a letter to reprimand Stein, the commander of the Northern Army. He asked him to take responsibility and regain the population plundered by the orcs, otherwise he would be held accountable after the war.

responsibility and deprive him of his hereditary noble status.

By this time, Stein had no reason to avoid fighting.

Although the orcs robbed the population of the Gascoigne Province, the responsibility seems to have nothing to do with Stein. The Gedda Province also won the battle, and if the responsibility is to be held accountable, the Mad Lions should also be held accountable.

But Roger was experienced in the army and had a correct view of the war situation and did not need to listen to other people's opinions.

The reason why Gascoigne Province suffered heavy losses in this battle was because of Stein's avoidance of the battle.

If the Northern Army took the initiative to assume the responsibility, the orcs would be unable to divide their forces, and the Gascoigne Province would not be plundered by the orcs.

Even if he had a reason to avoid the war, King Roger mentally labeled Stein as not understanding the overall situation.
