The General Staff has been working hard for all its efforts. After decades of research, various maps and other things have been prepared, and many combat plans have been prepared. After the troops have assembled, the war will begin. As for which combat plan to adopt, this is Xuantian’s decision.

Facing the gathering of the orc empire on the front hundreds of thousands of kilometers north, the people of the Temple of Light were not fools. The empires on the front line, the kingdom's emergency documents had already flew to the Holy Mountain of Light like snowflakes. Facing the army of the orc empires, the Temple of Light would never dare to underestimate it. Today's orc empire is no longer the country that was bullied by the Temple of Light.

The combat conference was held again and again, and the meeting was held for five days in a row, but there was no result, which made the Pope very angry. However, the Pope noticed that Nicholas was silent. When the meeting was resting, the Pope summoned Nicholas to his lounge and asked: "Dear Nicholas, you don't seem to have any opinions." "Yes, your Majesty, because I have too little information in my hand, and I can't judge what the purpose of the Orc Empire's operation was.

?” “Oh, Nicholas, what do you think?” “Your Majesty, one thing I can be sure of is that the commander-in-chief of the orc this time must be that guy Hu Xuantian. This guy is not a person without a head. He is different from other orcs. I will never dare to underestimate him. Last time I was defeated by his subordinates, so I have some research on him. What exactly does he want to do this time? But I can’t guess.” “Do you have a rough goal?”

Nicholas said: "There are still some general goals, but every goal cannot stand scrutiny, so I cannot be sure of what the orc's strategic goal is?" "Let's listen." "The orcs have been using military forces against us since ancient times. The first one is to grab some supplies from us. This goal is reasonable, but over the years, the orc empire has not lacked supplies, and even the supplies are too many to be sold in large quantities. Therefore, the orc empire will not make a big move to grab some supplies. The second is because the orc's low-level race is too large.

Therefore, I send some to the battlefield to become cannon fodder and consume some of the population of those useless races. However, in the past, it was because orcs were poor and could not afford to raise people. Now orcs are not poor, and no matter how many people can support them, this reason is not understandable. Third, orcs want to show their strength. This is possible, but people like Xuantian will never do such brainless things. He will only put away his own strength and give us some ruthlessness in the dark, so it is unlikely. It is precisely because I can't guess what Xuantian wants to do, so I didn't speak."

The pope thought for a while and asked: "Since none of these reasons are, it must be that something happened in the Orc Empire that we don't know. We need to find out clearly." "Your Majesty, I have asked someone to investigate early in the morning. In addition, Lord Saint's intelligence network has been fully activated, but there is no news. Our intelligence network has no way to penetrate into the top leaders of the Orc Empire. Now, Xuan Tian is in power, this guy pays great attention to intelligence. It is not so easy for us to get useful intelligence."

The pope frowned and said, "How many troops did the orcs dispatch this time?" "There is no exact information, but the number should be quite large. However, the thirteen areas on the border have been marked as a forbidden area by Xuantian. A large number of snake people and cat people patrolled very closely. Our people simply cannot get the exact number of orcs' troops. Our people are still too conspicuous on the outside, and it is not easy to get some useful information." Nicholas sighed. Once upon a time, the orc empire had no secrets to the Temple of Light, but now, it is very difficult to get information. The orcs' snake people and cat people are definitely experts in the dark.

After nine days of meeting, the Temple of Light finally decided to draw 500 million troops to head north, and all the elite soldiers were out. The commander-in-chief was still Nicholas. Although Owat wanted to take on the position of this commander-in-chief, the pope refused to approve. Although Nicholas had lost once at Xuantian's hands, after all, that time was a crime of non-war, and Owat also made a reputation in the last battle of light and darkness, but when it comes to commanding, it is still a certain distance from Nicholas. Of course, the Pope wanted to transfer Kegula to head north, but Nicholas opposed it, believing that Kegula needed to stand up to the Black Shura in the south, and this time he also wanted to compete with Xuantian again. Although he did not say it, he was a little dissatisfied. This time he vowed to compete with Xuantian.

Some people oppose the 500 million army, but Nicholas insisted that his reason was very simple: "We don't know the scale of the army mobilized by the orcs. Instead of waiting until we are defeated before we move north, it is better to dispatch a large army at one time. If the orcs mobilize less troops, we will solve them as fast as possible. If the orcs mobilize the army, we can withstand the opponent's attack. 500 million, just my estimated number. Maybe the scale of the orcs dispatch this time is far above our imagination?" After hearing Nicholas's reason, no one objected, but this way, the warehouse of the Temple of Light was empty again.

After the last battle with the Temple of Light, the Orc Empire built thirteen fortresses in the southern border area. These fortresses were built very large, corresponding to the eighteen fortresses of the Temple of Light. In the entire north, the two sides confronted each other at a distance of 8,000 kilometers, and there was a vast desert in the middle. However, the Orc Empire had built several canals in the desert. The completion of these canals led to a large number of oasis and many green corridors in the vast desert.

, making the orcs' way southward is no longer so difficult. Of course, it is also convenient to go northward. Correspondingly, the Dawn Empire and the Fog Light Empire are the two empires. Now, the two empires have also mobilized 300 million troops and 500 million troops from the Temple of Light to gather. The total of 800 million troops is stationed in the Kasodar Fortress in the middle of the border. This is Nicholas's general command center. At the same time, a large number of material resources are continuously transported from the rear to the front line.

The army of both sides has been assembled. After all, it takes a certain amount of time to assemble hundreds of millions of troops. Although the war has not officially begun, the scouts of both sides have already been very happy in the Death Desert. The orcs' wolf cavalry and the light cavalry of the Light Army fought very wonderfully in the desert. The orcs' various races active in the dark, such as snake people, rat people, cat people, dog people, etc., have launched a very lively battle with the various scouts of the Light Army in the desert. Every day, the scouts of both sides have more than a thousand deaths. The scouts are the spies of both sides. Even if the scouts are killed or injured, they must be sent out. Otherwise, the enemy will only wait for you.

The battle between the scouts was getting more and more fierce. Nicholas received casualties reports every day, and felt very puzzled. The number of casualties of one or two thousand people per day was nothing to his army, and there were also many casualties on the orcs. After all, the scouts were all elite soldiers from both sides. When the elite encountered the elite, the casualties were not far behind. However, the battle between the scouts had been more than a month, and Xuantian still did not move and had no intention of moving south at all. This was not like Xuantian's style. It was too tolerant. However, the more so, Nicholas was more vigilant. He knew that Xuantian would not move, and a move would inevitably be a thunderous attack. So he ordered all troops to be ready to fight at any time.

The lack of intelligence made Nicholas difficult for him. Not only did his intelligence force not get any useful information, but the Holy force did not get any major information, which made him very distressed. However, he believed that Xuantian would not have a good life. In terms of confidentiality, Nicholas asked himself that he was doing very well, and it was not easy for Xuantian to get his intelligence.

On June 8, 274, the orc army finally dispatched. The First Legion started attacking from the Eastern Front. After receiving the news of the Orcs' dispatch, Nicholas breathed a sigh of relief. This period was really hard. He ordered the First and Second Legions under his command to go to the Charming Fortress supporting the Eastern Front. He believed that two legions had enough troops to block the army of the First Legion of the Orcs.

On June 9, news also came from the Western Front that the Tianlang Army and the Tiger and Wolf Army of the Ninth Orc Army went south to attack the Gebinye Fortress. Nicholas received the information and immediately sent the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth legions to support the Gebinye Fortress. The last time the Gebinye Fortress was razed to the ground by the orcs, it was rebuilt. Although it was strong, it was probably a bit troublesome to deal with the two major legions in the Ninth Orc Army. Therefore, Nicholas sent four legions.

On June 10, a large number of wolf cavalry advanced south from the north at a whirlwind speed. A large number of scouts of the Light Army were killed. After a few scouts returned, Nicholas immediately mobilized his troops to prepare for defense. However, after waiting for a day, he did not see any orcs heading south at all.

On June 11, Nicholas sent a large number of scouts again. However, this time, the scouts of the Light Army went deep into the orc fortress and did not find any orc army. Even the orc scouts did not see one. On the front battlefield that was eighteen kilometers wide, the orc seemed to be unprepared, which made Nicholas confused.

On June 12, the Orc Empire increased its troops to the eastern front. The army of the second and third legions reinforced the Eastern Front. The Charming Fortress on the Eastern Front suddenly felt the pressure increased greatly. The Orcs actually had a large number of magic cannons. Even if they had a strong fortress defense system, the Light Army still felt that the pressure was very high, so they rushed to Nicholas. Nicholas transferred the Third and Fourth Legions to support the Eastern Front. Both sides fought very lively on the east and west lines, but the mid-line still remained unmoved.

On June 14, the Lion Wolf Army of the Ninth Army of the Beast God also appeared outside the Gebinye Fortress. At the same time, the flag of the Eighth Orcs Legion appeared. Although the defenders of the Gebinye Fortress desperately resisted the orcs' attack, they suffered heavy casualties. With similar forces, the orcs' combat power is definitely stronger than that of the Light Army. Fortunately, the Light Army is in a defensive state. If it is a field battle, it is afraid that the casualties will be greater.
