The fall of the Bertelli Fortress had resulted in a gaping hole in the once-sturdy defense line.
From this point onward, the Orc Army could make an unimpeded advance through here.
Although the armies on both sides could stage attacks on the orcs' supply lines from within the fortress.
The problem is, the orc army doesn't rely as heavily on supplies as the human army does. Aside from a few strategic materials, they can procure most necessities locally.
"Haley, send a message to the Capital at once, inform them of the fall of Bertelli Fortress.
Tell His Majesty the King, we don't have sufficient mobile troops on hand, and are unable to close the gap in the defense line in time.
The construction of backup defense lines is still underway, they are incapable of halting the orc's unimpeded advance. I propose His Majesty to broaden the scope of the scorched earth policy.
Ideally, we should include all the provinces in the northern duchy, to leave no room for the orcs to exploit."
