Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 662 Reaction
The [-] coalition forces were wiped out, and no one could escape. The military strength of the southern countries has suffered unprecedented damage.

You must know that in previous national wars, even if they were defeated, most of the soldiers in the main body of the army could escape back, and it would not have much impact on a country's military strength.

However, this time the entire army was wiped out in the battle against the Kawa Great Forest, and no one could escape.

This also means that the military strength of the eight southern countries has suffered irreparable damage.

The orc army under the command of the blue dragon even took the opportunity to break through the border Great Wall, entrenched in the border Great Wall area, and led the army into the area inside the Great Wall.

Such a major change caused an uproar in the southern countries of Middle-earth.

Those greedy nobles who originally thought that they would be able to win the battle and obtain a lot of wealth by sending troops, only felt that their scalps were getting cold.

The entire army of the [-] coalition was wiped out, completely dispelling the luck in everyone's heart.

Being able to annihilate one hundred thousand elite coalition forces in one fell swoop in the wild, and then take advantage of the situation to break through the Great Wall at the border, the strength of the blue dragon orc in the south can be felt without anyone telling.

The greedy aristocrats who first started this war in series were panic-stricken and terrified, and wanted to find someone to shirk their responsibility. However, the legendary organizations that helped promote them behind the scenes disappeared, and immediately made almost all of them Dumbfounded, at a loss.

Among the southern countries, those capable nobles and rulers of the kingdom,
It is to enter the kingdom overnight to discuss, and make the next counterattack deployment decision based on a series of information from the front line.

Against this panicked background, the Hachi Principality was shrouded in a tense atmosphere. For several days in a row, some nobles rushed to the palace to discuss countermeasures in the palace.

In the barracks in the imperial capital, soldiers gathered one after another.

The herald ran out from the city gate and went to all parts of the country to read the order, summon the lords, nobles and knights from all over the country, and gather the army.

The fluctuations in the upper echelons of the country made merchants and citizens feel uneasy.

Some merchants are preparing to evacuate with their assets. We see wealthy people leaving with their assets every day, but there are also more merchants and adventurers entering the imperial capital. At least when the orcs invaded the southern region and wreaked havoc, the city will always be better than the countryside. A lot of security.

People's hearts fluctuated, causing various versions of news to fly in the imperial capital, and the price of food in the city soared.

A depressive atmosphere enveloped the sky above the imperial capital.

Even the cobbler on the street felt the feeling that the storm was coming.

Principality of Flanders,
Royal Capital,
General Byron Arnold, in military uniform, was in the palace hall with a dignified expression, telling the king about the current situation.

"According to the news from the front line, the Great Wall has completely fallen. The coalition forces sent before have indeed not received any news. Now those orcs are rebuilding the Great Wall and building a defense system. At the same time, they are sending troops to attack and investigate the terrain. If we don’t take advantage of the unstable foothold of those orcs and take back the Great Wall on the border, wait until they firmly occupy the city defense system, then the orc army can invade our country anytime and anywhere in the future, sweeping the southern region.”

Due to the terrain, the area where the Border Great Wall was built was located at the throat of the Great Kawa Forest and Middle-earth.

After thousands of years of construction, the Border Great Wall has already connected the surrounding mountains together, artificially establishing a barrier between the wild and the civilized world.

The completion of the Great Wall on the border has completely sealed off the orc activities in the Great Kawa Forest in the south of Middle-earth.

However, I am afraid that the people who built the Great Wall at the beginning would not have thought that,

Once the Great Wall on the border is breached and occupied by the orcs, and they refuse to defend it, it will become the most powerful bridgehead for the orcs in the Kawa Great Forest to invade Middle-earth!
From the Great Wall to the north, there is a vast plain area without any protection from natural dangers!
The army of orcs poured in from the Great Wall at the border, and they would sweep thousands of miles into the hinterland of the eight principalities in the south without hindrance, causing incalculable losses.

"The Great Wall of the Border must be taken back, no matter how many troops are lost! Otherwise, once the orcs occupy that checkpoint, more than [-]% of the entire country will be under the threat of the orcs' soldiers!"

General Arnold looked resolute and loud.

"However, in the previous coalition, nearly [-]% of our standing army had been dispatched, but none of them came back. The army's pension has not yet come down. If we want to fight back, we may have to increase the number of troops nationwide. Couldn't stand it at all."

The chancellor demurred from the sidelines.

But before he finished speaking, General Arnold interrupted him, glaring.

"According to what you mean, don't you fight back and let those orcs occupy the Great Wall on the border and threaten the country!"

"Since those orcs didn't make any further moves, they might not be able to see the damage from the previous war, and they won't make any moves if they need to recuperate in the near future, so what if they are allowed to occupy the Great Wall at the border."

"You traitor!"

"The national finances simply cannot support your military expansion plan!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the king on the throne coughed heavily.

"Quiet! If you have a dispute, discuss it, don't argue!"

Seeing that the two suppressed their anger a little bit, the king looked at the silent Minister of Civil Affairs and asked him about a sword.

The Minister of Civil Affairs understood and took a step forward.

"Your Majesty, those orcs occupying the Great Wall on the border is not a matter for our Principality of Frandi. Those orcs also pose a threat to other principalities. I suggest that it is best to recruit a certain number of troops to defend the border to prevent the orc army from sneaking in. At the same time Send envoys to contact other countries as soon as possible."

"Finally, that blue dragon and its orcs are very powerful, we'd better ask for help from Kobia Kingdom."

In the southern region of Middle-earth,
The most southern part is the Eight Principalities and various other organizational forces, but a little bit to the north is where a powerful kingdom Kobia is located.

The invasion of orcs is a matter of great importance to the safety of the southern region.

In the process of national development, there are many conflicts and wars between countries, but in the face of foreign enemies, a certain degree of concerted efforts is required.

Furthermore,
In the original combination of the coalition forces, part of it was promoted by the high-level officials of the Kobia Kingdom. Now that the coalition forces have been defeated, and the southern countries are facing the threat of the blue dragon orc forces, it is natural to ask for help.
