Chapter 1198 Seeking Help

At this point, Manus paused, looked at the expressions of the crowd, and said in a cold voice: "I don't know who among you is Gamonli's man, or the other deputy commander's man. Now the miserable situation of the Third Legion is here."

"Go and inform those you secretly pledge allegiance to. Tell them to prepare more forces and more troops to bury the Ninth Human Army in the Kamo tribal area."

"Now, get out of here."

Hearing this, everyone bowed and saluted, then left the hall.

In less than a moment, Manus and Bartholomew were the only two people left in the hall.

"Why, you want to see me laugh?"

Turning his head to look at his nominal brother-in-law, Manus said expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, Bartholomew bowed slightly and said, "A temporary failure is not terrible. What is terrible is being immersed in the shadow of failure and unable to walk out."

Manus heard Bartholomew's advice, snorted coldly, and said: "I know this matter better than you, so, do you have anything else to report?"

Hearing this, Bartholomew opened his mouth, extinguished the thought of persuading, lowered his head and said: "I will take my leave."

Looking at Bartholomew's departing back, Manus' eyes flashed with a complicated look, and he whispered to himself: "Bartholomew, I will keep an eye on you, always."

Outside the hall, a low-level black orc with a golden rank was standing at the door with his face covered. When he saw Bartholomew, he bowed his head and saluted.

"You are the city lord here."

"Yes, my lord."

The low-level gold black orc answered cautiously, fearing to anger the adult in front of him.

Bartholomew looked at the slap mark on his face and waved his hand to absorb the power hidden in it.

Feeling the swelling and pain disappear, the low-level gold bowed his head and thanked: "Thank you, sir."

"War is coming. Let the residents of this city evacuate as soon as possible."

"This……"

A look of horror emerged on the face of the golden low-level black orc. He thought that this army had just retreated to the rear for a while to rest, but he didn't expect that they were actually defeated.

"Don't think too much. If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up."

"I know, sir."

The low-level gold black orc swallowed his saliva, suppressed the fear in his heart, and spoke in a low voice.

"Go prepare some food and wine and send them to the hall, then go do what you have to do."

"Yes."

Looking up at the sky, Bartholomew's eyes were full of complicated expressions.

He could guess what his brother-in-law and Deputy Commander Gamonli were planning, but he didn't know what conditions the other party had used to convince Manus to cooperate with them.

"Ugh--"

Sighing, Bartholomew turned and walked out of the City Lord's Mansion.

……

Three days later, in the Kisilin camp, Weilin looked at the victory report sent from the Ceres Fortress and a smile appeared on his face.

However, the number of casualties is somewhat shocking.

Soon, a guard entered the tent, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "Marshal, Lord Lionas is waiting outside the tent."

Weilin closed the victory report in his hand and said, "Please ask him to come in."

"Yes."

A few minutes later, Lionas walked into the tent, came in front of Weilin, and bowed slightly.

After Leonas sat down, Weilin didn't waste any words. He directly put the victory report in front of him and said, "Take a look first."

Seeing this, Leonas took the victory report file, opened it, quickly flipped through the contents, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

In the Bolia raid, the Celes Fortress dispatched the 27th Legion, the 9th Legion's direct mage regiment, the Dragon Knights and two Griffin Knights. Based on the confirmed corpse count, 8,337 Black Orcs were killed, and another 3,588 were killed.

From this point of view, it can be considered a great victory, but the 27th Corps suffered heavy losses in this battle, with 2,753 people killed, 1,385 missing, and 2,558 people who had to retire due to injuries, for a total of 6,696 casualties.

As for the casualties of the Dragon Knights and the Griffin Knights, they are still within an acceptable range.

"Marshal, I feel something is a little strange about this battle."

After hearing what Lionas said, Weilin showed a puzzled look on his face and said, "Why do you think so?"

Hearing this, Leonus replied, "During this period, I have consulted your servant Titus and learned about Manus, the commander of the Third Legion of the Black Asian Orcs Northern Army."

"This person looks down on wandering orcs and orcs from small tribes, but he thinks highly of his own troops."

"For Manus, no matter how much the casualties of the miscellaneous tribal army are, he will not care. However, if the casualties of his own troops exceed a certain limit, he will immediately avoid the battle."

"You mean that the Black Orc Northern Army's Third Legion is fighting our army with such high intensity, setting up bait to lure our army to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly." Weilin reacted and spoke.

"Yes, Marshal." Lionas nodded and said, "This surprise attack was a bit too unreasonable."

"Why don't we send out a bait to test it out?" Weilin suggested, tapping the tabletop lightly.

Hearing this, Lionas realized which unit the bait Verin was talking about.

"The 34th Corps of the 12th Corps is a little too weak. The other side may not take the bait."

Weilin leaned forward slightly and suggested again: "In that case, how about the 25th Legion?"

Upon hearing this, Lionas said, "The 25th Legion is feasible, but the strength of the enemy army is unknown. Once a main force legion is trapped, our army will be extremely passive."

"Then prepare another troop as a backup. Once the 25th Legion is surrounded, immediately encircle the enemy from another direction." Weilin said.

Lionas heard that Weilin was going to ask for help from the Allied Command, so he asked, "Do you need my signature?"

Seeing this, Weilin shook his head and said, "That's not necessary. Apply to the headquarters to borrow an elite corps. I believe that with my reputation, I should be able to do it."

"In addition, in order to demonstrate our determination to attack the Kamo tribal area, I plan to find a location on the border to start a war city and move the corps headquarters forward to facilitate the command of the troops."

"The Kisilin Camp will serve as the corps' logistics camp, with a troop left behind to defend it."

"So, my deputy marshal, what do you think?"

Hearing Weilin's question, Lionas shook his head slightly and said, "Marshal, I have no objection."

Half an hour later, the two ended their conversation.
