EBE Chapter 760: Satim's Confidence
Chapter 760: Satim's Confidence
"Damn it, this group of orcs' target is actually the mainland of the empire."
"It's over, it's over. My family's land is right on the eastern border, and I just built a new house..."
"The despicable Beast Forest soldiers have absolutely no bottom line. They even extended their murderous hands to ordinary civilians. This is a complete violation of international conventions!"
The soldiers of the Seth Empire never mentioned their war of aggression, but only talked about the despicable actions of the Beast Forest soldiers, as if they all naively hoped that the Beast Forest would surrender to their deaths.
But the truth is impossible. When faced with life and death, any way of survival is just.
Besides, the Beast Forest is not a country. They have never been recognized by any country or organization on the Walterland continent, and therefore have never joined any international conventions. It is a 100% purest "barbaric land."
"Return to the rescue! Return to the rescue! Everyone return to the empire immediately and stop the atrocities of the Beast Forest soldiers!"
A roar came from the communication magic stones on the waists of all the soldiers. It was the order of the garrison commander. His voice was extremely anxious, and it contained not only anger but also fear.
The reason is very simple. At this stage, except for the military garrison in the western outer plains which is responsible for offense, the responsibilities of other garrisons on the eastern border are defense and monitoring every move of the Beast Forest.
However, now, not only did they fail to provide adequate surveillance, they even let a large number of Beast Forest troops enter the empire and do whatever they want. This is simply dereliction of duty, and a group of senior officials in the garrison will definitely be brought to a military court.
And now it is war time, these derelict officers will most likely be sentenced to the vanguard army and serve as cannon fodder on the front line.
The news of the Beast Forest's proactive attack soon reached the Seth Central Military Command. The senior military officials were furious, especially when they heard that the Beast Forest army dared to attack the empire.
The weak Beast Forest is so rampant that it is simply shitting on the head of the Seth Empire.
If this gets out, it will definitely be laughed at by other countries. Of course, face is secondary. The most important thing is the security issue within the empire.
In the central military tent, Satim, who was sitting in the main seat, smashed the teacup in front of him to the ground, and then tore the intelligence documents in front of him into pieces.
"How could these useless people on the eastern border defense line allow so many orc soldiers in? Were all the scouts on the border wiped out?"
This was an extremely serious mistake in the war. When two armies were facing each other, scouts' activities were definitely the most frequent, and any slight disturbance would be discovered at the first time.
The Beast Forest’s military operation was so large-scale that almost all of them were mobilized, but there was not a single message from the scouts?
"Lord Satim, the intelligence sent back by the scout troops in the evening said that everything was normal..." A scout general stood up with a bitter face and reported.
"Everything is normal? You are kidding me. An attack of this scale cannot be carried out without advance military deployment. There are a lot of baggage and a complicated plan. The Beast Forest must have been planning for a long time. The scouts are just eating dry food. They are all like blind people."
Facing Satim's roar, the scout general spread his hands and said helplessly: "But, but according to the detailed observation report, whether it is our spies lurking in the Beast Forest or the long-distance surveillance at an altitude of 10,000 meters... everything points out that the Beast Forest suddenly took action tonight."
"Then according to you, could it be that the Beast Forest launched such a large-scale attack on impulse?"
Satim's questioning left all the generals speechless, as everyone knew that this was impossible.
Are you kidding me? Such a bold decision and such a desperate attack plan, how could it be a spur of the moment idea? It must have been the result of several months of planning.
But in this case, it would mean that the Seth Empire's scout troops had failed in all aspects, and those spies lurking inside the Beast Forest were also derelict in their duty. There was no news of such important news at all. They are simply a bunch of good-for-nothings.
Not long after, a dusty scout pushed open the door of the tent. He quickly walked to Satim and leaned over to whisper. Soon, the crown prince of the Seth Empire became extremely shocked.
After the scout left, Satim sighed and said, "It was the Campbell family and the Moon Goddess Cult that issued the order. Just this evening, the words of the two families were considered to be the final word in the Beast Forest. Those stupid orcs just let it go..."
The information just now came from an informant who was exclusively for Satim. He was also a high-ranking military officer of the Beast Forest and knew most of the latest intelligence of the Beast Forest.
As the saying goes, a fly won't bite an egg without cracks. There are tens of millions of orcs living in the Beast Forest. With such a large number, it is impossible that every orc desires freedom and hates the Seth Empire.
There are all kinds of birds in a big forest, and naturally there are also many depraved villains who betray everything for money and power.
Of course, in addition to coercion and inducement, there is also a group of "heroes who know the times" in the Beast Forest. They claim to be smart and believe that even with the support of the Campbell family and the Moon Goddess Sect, the Beast Forest will undoubtedly be defeated.
Therefore, it would be better to seize the opportunity to surrender to the Seth Empire. After the defeat of the Beast Forest, he could seek a good future, get a position, or even become a founding hero...
These promises have caused some orcs to lose themselves, and they are willing to become running dogs of the Seth Empire even if it means betraying their own people and abandoning their beliefs.
Some generals were puzzled when they heard this and couldn't help asking, "How could the Beast Forest organize such a large-scale attack in just a few hours this evening? What kind of efficiency is this..."
"Yes, most of the Beast Forest soldiers are new recruits. Their discipline and mobility are very poor. They are even worse than the cannon fodder of the vanguard army..."
Listening to the generals' questions, Satim closed his eyes and said helplessly, "It's normal, because the Campbell family didn't issue any specific tasks. They only gave a big goal of 'attacking the Seth Empire'. After that, it was up to the various legions of the Beast Forest to play freely."
"Humph, the purpose of all this is to delay time and delay our offensive in the western outer position. The Campbell family is worthy of being a family that has conquered most of the Central Plains countries. Using offense instead of defense is a beautiful and cunning move!"
In order to deal with the large-scale attack of the Beast Forest, the Seth Empire had to send a large number of front-line soldiers to provide support. This was an unsolvable conspiracy. If the cities of the empire were damaged, the nobles whose territories were attacked would have objections.
As a result, the voices of the anti-war faction in the Seth Empire will become more and more intense, and the resulting political problems will become much more serious, and even the war will not be able to be fought.
Everyone sitting in the military tent was aware of the problem and showed worried expressions. The mighty Seth Empire was actually being led by the nose by the Beast Forest.
"That's a good idea," Satim sneered, and then said confidently, "But it's useless, because tomorrow we will severely damage the Beast Forest, and these stupid orcs will pay the price for their cleverness!"
