Chapter 1821 Carving Through Perilous Mountains and Rivers!
Most of the high-ranking members of the Orcish Empire's resistance have fled.
The commanders were all completely bewildered.
Especially after Harald became the new commander-in-chief.
Not only were the commanders bewildered, but the soldiers were also bewildered, because they found themselves receiving a whole host of strange orders.
Some destinies led them to head south immediately.
Some orders, however, commanded them to head north immediately.
They were even ordered to disperse on the spot.
Because the rebel leaders simply walked away, leaving behind a mess, the entire command system instantly fell into chaos.
Some commanders began issuing orders haphazardly, or rather, they intended to issue orders according to their own ideas, completely disregarding Harald's direct orders.
For example, a commander might think that a certain unit should go south to hold off the National Defense Forces' attack.
Another commander believed that the army should retreat to the north, consolidate its positions, and build a new defensive line.
Both commanders simultaneously issued orders to the soldiers on the front lines, using commands from headquarters.
After receiving the order, the soldiers at the front line fought with unprecedented ferocity.
Both orders were issued by the command center, but whose order should they obey?
They were stunned, and so were the commanders.
The commander discovered that his orders were being blocked by orders issued by another commander.
The commanders below were having a frantic discussion.
With the front lines on the verge of collapse, the commanders have stopped pretending and are now directly confronting anyone they don't like.
Harald looked at the command post, which resembled a vegetable market, and fell into complete silence.
After thinking for a long time, Harald suddenly stood up and spoke.
"Now that the higher-ups have appointed me as commander, you should obey my orders. We shouldn't be discussing these things here; we should be making appropriate countermeasures as soon as possible."
The National Defense Forces are about to break through the front lines, and we're still here arguing amongst ourselves. This farce is completely pointless.
As Harald spoke, he walked and then selected a highly respected senior figure and appointed him as the temporary commander-in-chief.
Because Harald knew he didn't have much ability; he simply couldn't command an army of hundreds of thousands.
That's why he chose to let a highly respected senior figure command the battle.
He himself was about to do something big.
To be precise, he planned to make one last gamble.
Conventional tactics cannot defeat the National Defence Force; the National Defence Force will riddle them with bullets.
Therefore, they had to take a risky approach.
As for what the risky move is?
Harald already had an idea in mind.
That is to lead a surprise attack!
According to reports from soldiers on the front lines.
It appears that Guderian is personally directing the battle on the front lines.
If Gudri, as the highest-ranking commander on the entire front of the armed forces, could be killed or wounded in a surprise attack, it would be of great help to the entire front.
Now the question is, how are they going to find Goodry?
Harald was reorganizing his army while pondering this problem.
Harald had 800 elite soldiers under his command.
These 800 elite soldiers were trained by him at his own expense after he became part of the resistance.
Harald tried to escape, but the rebels held him down because they absolutely refused to allow any orc nobles to leave them.
These orc nobles, though called orc nobles in a polite way, are actually just blood packs for their rebel army.
Whenever the rebels run out of money, they start trying to make some nobles disappear.
As for these vanished nobles, they all had one thing in common: they had no power but were rich.
In this chaotic world, having money means having no power; you are someone else's granary.
One of the purposes of the rebels rallying the nobility was this.
The strong will naturally climb up, while the weak will always be trampled underfoot.
Harald formed this army primarily to protect himself.
But now it's being used.
Harald himself was a very shrewd man.
Similarly, although he was not good at commanding battles, he had an exceptionally strong ability to observe and plan.
After compiling the battle reports from the front lines, he finally made a decision.
That means Guderian must have been commanding the battle from the 1st Armored Division.
Guderian rose to prominence thanks to the 1st Armored Division.
Therefore, he will definitely command the 1st Armored Division in battle.
The First Armored Division is currently attacking the Orcish Empire's capital.
Therefore, Gudri must be near the capital of the Orcish Empire.
After much deliberation, Harald finally marked a location on the map.
The deputy stepped forward and asked.
"Sir, what are you doing?"
"I believe Gudri is in this place!"
Harald pointed to a spot on the map.
This place is located on the edge of a forest.
There was a small river right next to it.
At the same time, the terrain here is relatively high, so you can see the entire capital of the Orc Empire and the surrounding area.
However, to get here, you either have to go through the orcish capital from the north or cross the mountains from the west.
Because there is a 2-meter-high mountain to the west of the Orcish Empire's capital.
Moreover, this high mountain is accompanied by a large, continuous mountain range.
Gudri chose this location because of its natural defenses.
Once attacked, they would immediately march eastward toward the capital of the Orcish Empire.
Harald pinpointed the location using his keen sense of smell.
He then led 800 people directly from the west, traversing mountains and valleys.
Of course, this was just an excuse he made up.
He wasn't entirely sure if Gudri was actually there, but he needed a reason to leave.
His main concern was that he wanted to surrender.
Although Harald was a nobleman, he did not actually do many heinous things.
Therefore, surrendering does not necessarily mean being executed.
But what he didn't expect was that he actually got into a really big mess...
Gudri's command post.
Looking at the orcish empire's capital in the distance.
Goodry's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The chief of staff, noticing Gudri's unusual behavior, asked him a question.
"What happened? Is there something wrong with your health?"
Goodry shook his head.
"I don't know why, but I always have a bad feeling..."
"Then why don't we notify the commanders at the front and tell them to proceed with caution?"
The chief of staff asked a question.
Goodry nodded silently.
"It's good to be cautious. Who knows if the orcs might resort to desperate measures?"
The chief of staff nodded in agreement.
