Almighty Lord: I can modify hidden entries

"Continue to monitor the movements of the orc army. In addition, I feel that the orcs should have other intentions. They should not just abandon the city territory hundreds of kilometers in the west."

"Keep exploring, keep reporting."

"Yes, Master."

Chapter 175 Investigation results, troops sent to intercept

Regarding the problem of orcs, Gudern temporarily forgot about it after making arrangements.

The current security force in Qingyuan Town is no longer the same as before when it only had a population of several thousand. At that time, one sentry could only be used as three people.

But now they can rest normally, and the pressure on the soldiers is not that great.

At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of Jinyuan City, the second battalion that went to attack temporarily helped garrison in Jinyuan City. This was something Bernard personally requested from him.

The army in Bernard's hands was dispersed after defending the city. Although he later regrouped and returned with a thousand men, he suffered a lot during the counterattack on Jinyuan City.

Moreover, even the garrison of more than 3,000 people cannot defend Jinyuan City, and it is even less possible for him with less than 1,000 people to defend it. Asking for help is also a helpless act.

For Gudern, he now has seven battalions of troops, with a total number of more than 3,600 people. Such abundant troops allow him to bring two battalions to the border of the territory for garrison protection.

Even if the orcs have any military offensive plans for Qingyuan Town, he can be prepared as long as he has time to react.

After no longer paying attention to this issue, Gudern continued to study the development of electricity applications.

At the same time, within the royal capital, the Imperial City.

The returned Hogtz is reporting back to His Majesty Oleg.

"He didn't come?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the other party did not take the initiative to find me when I was in Qingyuan Town, nor did he give me any letters."

Hogtz lowered his head slightly and replied respectfully.

"Well, it doesn't matter. How is the investigation on him going?"

Oleg, who was sitting and reviewing government documents, asked without raising his head.

"In addition to previous data investigations, the timing of Gooden's transformation occurred after he was assassinated in June this year. After waking up, he showed many unusual behaviors."

"At that time, I also had doubts about whether the other party had his soul taken away by an unclean thing or was being manipulated by someone. However, there was some interesting information that made this speculation completely impossible."

"The saint of Hephros once appeared in Qingyuan Town and had a good relationship with Gudern. When the orcs extraordinary sneak attack, she stood up in Qingyuan Town to help deal with it, and the legendary genius of the Holy Light, Moss, was also there. And helped eliminate an extraordinary orc."

Hearing this, Oleg suddenly stopped writing and asked with a hint of interest on his face.

"Saint? The next heir to the queen of Hephros seems to be a little guy named Anna?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hogz nodded and responded.

"It's interesting, let's continue."

It is not difficult for Oleg to imagine that the future heir of a neutral country would appear on the border of the empire and have a friendship connection with his illegitimate son.

However, with the appearance of Anna, Oleg's speculation about unclean things occupying Gudern was also dispelled.

The Holy Light Church is very sensitive to this kind of thing and will deal with it immediately. If it is within the empire, it will contact the official personnel as soon as possible and deal with the unclean things under witness.

And the Holy Light Church, which specializes in this aspect, can also tell at a glance whether a person's soul is intact or whether it is controlled by body-stealing.

Now Hephros' heir, the Saint, has not been able to find anything and has made friends with him. This also shows that his illegitimate son Gudern is still himself...

"In addition to the good personal relationship between the Saint of Holy Light and Gudern, the Holy Light Church has even recently stationed a team of church personnel into Qingyuan Town, and the leader is an extraordinary bishop, who fully helped Qingyuan when the orcs invaded town."

"And judging from the customs and defense reports stationed at the border, there was a caravan that came out of Hevros some time ago, intending to go to Qingyuan Town for trade. It is speculated that the two parties have made a trade agreement, and the size of the caravan is also quite large. The transaction amount is expected to reach more than 200,000 gold coins."

"And Gudern's magic talent is also very strong. Helisa, a senior teacher at the Imperial Academy of Magic, went to Qingyuan Town during her winter vacation."

"After Herissa went to Qingyuan Town, Gudern showed unparalleled talent in magic. It is speculated that she had a personal relationship with Moss, so she recommended Herissa to Qingyuan Town to be Guldn's tutor and teach magic. "

Although Oleg's expression didn't change much when he heard this, he felt a little weird in his heart. This information looked like the saint Anna of Hephros had kept Gudern.

He helped, introduced the teacher, and organized such a large amount of business. Could it be that this boy also inherited his good looks and attracted him?

But he couldn't say this either, so he could only listen to Hogtz's report quietly.

"In just a few months, he has broken through to the intermediate level, and many of the magic products in Qingyuan Town are also made by him."

"Especially the kind of weapon that can instantly penetrate an orc a hundred steps away. It does not require magic power or strength. It only needs an ordinary person to control it. Even a middle-level or high-level orc can be controlled by such a weapon. Unable to resist at all.”

After hearing this, a slight change finally appeared on the calm Oleg's face.

Although he was surprised that his illegitimate son could somehow master magic, what surprised him at the moment was the speed of Gudern's promotion.

Breaking through from zero to mid-level in just a few months, this speed is not uncommon even in the Imperial Academy of Magic.

But none of them are geniuses among geniuses, and they have practiced meditation since childhood to lay the foundation. After awakening, they will naturally have an advantage over others.

And what about this illegitimate child?

After being born, he underwent the most comprehensive examination by the royal family, but the result was that he shook his head when he was extraordinary, and sighed when he was legendary.

He is a waste among wastes. After all, a person who cannot even sense strength will be just an ordinary person in this life.

But such a 'waste' could reach such a height in just a few months. How could this not surprise Oleg?

Moreover, this boy seems to be very strong in the research of magic creation. The weapons he makes can be used by a griffin army, and the army commander even praises him.

Listening to Hogtz's report, Oleg's curiosity about Gudern became even more obvious.

After the report was over, Oleg thought for a moment and suddenly asked.

"Has there been any investigation into the person behind the attack on Gooden?"

"Yes, Gudern actually did a lot of self-examination on this matter, but after follow-up, he found that there were shadows of the resistance in it, and in addition to the Charleson family in Snow Valley Town, there was also the Langat family in Songhai Town. Wait for the seventeen small families in the north, all of them have connections with the resistance."

Hearing this, Oleg's eyes flashed with a cold light and he said coldly.

"These borers...when the wartime treatment of the western part of the northern border is completed, let the imperial army deal with these people directly. All the vacated areas will be handed over to the local city management, and those close to Qingyuan Ridge will be handed over to Gudern."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Hogtz finished his report, he exited the room, leaving Oleg alone in the room.

Although Hoggards was a little curious about His Majesty's attention to Gudern, he did not delve into it. He just collected some necessary information and reported it.

Gudern had no knowledge of all these arrangements and investigations.

At this moment, what he was most concerned about was the movements of the orcs.

After another two days of waiting and attention, we finally had the latest information on the orc army.

In the command room of the military camp, a group of officers were contemplating the orcs' intentions around the map in front of the table.

The 480,000-strong army completely withdrew from the front line and began to move toward the northeast. And according to the evacuation route, it was not intended to retreat to Ancient Stone City, but to ignore the cities and towns along the way and head straight to the northeast. go ahead.

Naturally, this move could not escape the attention of the imperial army. On the same day after the retreat, the city occupied by the orcs was recaptured.

It's just that after the orcs left, they moved all the food in the city away, which was a big trouble for the city residents and the attacking army.

Fortunately, the most indispensable thing in the empire is food. The food produced in the Fenggu Plain is enough to feed all races on the mainland for a year.

This also allows subsequent supplies to be continuously supplied upwards, and the food problem can be solved in a day or two at most.

In the silent command room, Gudern suddenly asked Roy.

"Speaking of which, how is the war situation on the Empire's front lines?"

"We are still anxious with the orcs. At present, even the first line of defense has not been broken through. However, looking at the recent mobilization, the orcs seem to have intensified the frequency and scale of attacks."

After hearing this, Gudern thought for a moment and suddenly thought of something.

"Where is the retreat route of the orc army?"

"The news is from here to here."

Roy clicked on the map and drew a straight line. Looking at the road route planned on the map, Gooden followed all the way up and finally reached his destination-Yongshuang Broken Vein!

"I know the intentions of the orcs. They lost the war in the west because of our appearance and were unable to make effective strategic arrangements. Now they can only retreat and attack from the back of the Broken Vein Fortress, thereby breaking through or preparing for the frontal army. Functional help.”

Gudern immediately guessed the orc's purpose and movements.

Els looked at the map and thought for a while.

"This...if this is the case, the Imperial Army should also be able to see it and make accurate preparations in advance, right?"

"No, it's too late." Hobert shook his head and continued.

"You should also know the marching speed of the orcs. Even in this snowy season, when the road is blocked, it is easy to travel hundreds of miles a day, while the imperial army is not that fast."

"Coupled with the fact that the orcs have the advantage of being prepared in advance and gaining distance first, even if the orcs wait where they are, it will take the imperial army two to three days to catch up."

"And the focus of defense on the front line is all on the front. The defense on the sides and behind is weak. Even if we are prepared, there is no time to prepare for defense in just a few days."

After hearing what Hobert said, everyone present except Gudern frowned.

If this army of orcs is really allowed to sneak through and attack the Broken Vein Fortress, once it is lost, it will open a hole in the dike, which cannot be blocked even if it is tried.

At that time, the orc army can continuously move from the Broken Vein to the Northern Territory. Compared with the current fall situation in the western part of the Northern Territory, the scale at that time will sweep across the entire Northern Territory and even threaten the Fenggu Plain.

"Master, why don't you inform the Griffin Legion? They are fast, so they should have a way..."

Regarding this situation, Ayres still felt that it would be better to let the elite army of the empire handle it.

But now, Gudern had a new idea, looked at the map, and said.

"Orcs can travel hundreds of miles a day, can't we? Moreover, this orc army has attacked Qingyuan Town and has the blood of many Qingyuan soldiers in its hands. Are they allowed to run away like this?"

After hearing Gudern's words, everyone fell silent slightly, with different reactions on their faces, as if they all guessed Gudn's thoughts.

"This orc army cannot just let them run away. It must be stopped. Not only for the sake of the empire, but also to completely eliminate them."

"You have already seen the war learning ability of the orcs. If this army is really allowed to escape, then if the orc army dares to attack Qingyuan Town again, there may be some new offensive."

"Eliminating the threat at its source is what the Qingyuan Army needs to think about and deal with, rather than waiting for the other party to come knocking before resisting."

Gudern's words were very serious, leaving a tone in their minds that they could not bring the flames of war to Qingyuan Town again.

It was lucky to be able to defend once. If the orcs gathered more troops and extraordinary people next time, then he would not have bug weapons like broken bricks in his hands. It would not be an easy task to fight against them.

And for this orc army, which has only attacked Qingyuan Town, we really need to give them time to figure out countermeasures. With the orcs' combat experience, they will definitely be able to find countermeasures.
