Several Rose officers who were guarding the city around Qinghe Volcano saw the city fall so quickly and realized that it was only a matter of time before Yang Yu attacked them.
The reputation of the colorful-haired masked man has spread among various troops, and no one knows when it became so famous.
The fact that he was able to capture the cities around the Qinghe volcano so quickly added a highlight to his legend.
When an officer Rose was giving a speech, he accidentally mentioned that the person in charge of combat on the orc side was a masked man with colorful hair, and the morale of the troops was immediately reduced by half.
If they really come up against the colorful-haired masked man, even though the soldiers will still follow orders, they cannot be expected to perform at their normal strength as they have lost a lot of morale.
The final result is definitely self-evident.
After much deliberation, several officers guarding the city decided to abandon the city and flee.
Unexpectedly, the orc guerrillas outside the city had been waiting for them for a long time. They beat them up and sent them to a prisoner concentration camp.
The battle of Qinghe Volcano was so easy that the orcs couldn't help but wonder how they lost Qinghe Volcano in the first place.
The defense of the Cerro Vomen Plain was more tenacious than in any previous year due to the intervention of the Centaur troops.
Ajiket continuously used the Centaurs' mobility to harass the Rose Empire's troops and thus contained them.
In addition to the Centaur troops, other sub-human soldiers with special skills also continued to emerge on other battlefields.
For example, there are the gianthorns that are as strong as mountains; the skinks that are only one meter long but extremely fast; and the blackclaws that have huge claws and are good at digging holes.
Those special demi-humans often appear at the most critical moment of the war and turn the tide of the battle with their own strength.
The Rose Empire suffered heavy losses.
What is even more fatal is that the Wansheng Kingdom has detained many low-level soldiers from the Rose Empire, so that humans have no way to use small-scale conflicts to create advantages.
The Rose Empire's spring and summer offensive suddenly became severe without any warning.
Their first reaction was that Wansheng Kingdom was hiding its strength just like them.
Sitting on the city that had just been conquered, Yang Yu wiped the blood off the blade, looked at the familiar face that appeared on Bai Jin's crystal ball, and said:
"From what you just said, it seems that the war situation has developed in a direction that is favorable to the orcs without any warning."
“It wasn’t without warning.
This result was also expected. None of the special demihuman troops who passed the assessment were ordinary.
Our educational strength and their own strength are far more than this.
But from my observation, they are still far inferior to General Potato.
We all didn't expect that you could achieve this with just that few soldiers.
I look forward to your performance in the future.”
The face that appeared on the crystal ball was none other than the instructor elf Dorena, who had contacted Yang Yu many times before.
She had just informed Yang Yu of the situation on other battlefields and asked Yang Yu for suggestions for future operations.
During the break, Yang Yu informed Dorena of the situation on his side and asked her to organize and summarize the information and report it to Mindarak.
Now, Yang Yu and Dorena were just chatting.
"By the way, you taught so many demi-humans at once.
How many subhuman races are unwilling to intervene in this war?"
"Except for the Lamia clan, all other subhuman races living in Wansheng Country have already united."
Dorena replied expressionlessly.
"The Lamia are a rather stubborn race, and they seem to be guarding something important.
At this critical moment, they are unwilling to take action.
If they lose the protection of their country, the things they have been trying to protect will most likely be taken away by humans.
Prime Minister Mindarak tried to persuade them personally several times, but he just couldn't win over the Lamia clan."
“Well, I have met the Lamia clan once before, and it seems that they really don’t like to leave the sea of sand.
By the way, I want to ask on behalf of the elves in my team, what is the current situation of the elves?"
Dorena continued to answer expressionlessly:
“The first elven priests were put into service in the winter.
After the beginning of spring, more and more elven priests joined the battlefield, and our casualties dropped rapidly.
The power of holy light possessed by elves is not comparable to that of ordinary humans. Basically, all elves have the potential to become high-level priests.
The Elf Queen also listened to our advice and was willing to send out several more batches of elves for training.
Become our fighting force."
"That's great. Then, what about those elves that were captured? Is there any news about them?"
“General Potato, please don’t worry about this.
After our unremitting efforts, we finally found the traces of that group of humans in the eastern mountains and brought back most of the elves and resettled them.
We also found some information about the people who attacked the elf village.
After experiencing suffering, many of the abducted elves expressed their willingness to join the cause of fighting against humans after returning.
We are stepping up their training here, and I believe they will be able to meet General Potato soon."
"Really? That's good. The Elf Queen will certainly be happy to see this.
Tell Prime Minister Mindarak again for me that after retaking the Qinghe Volcano, I may have to conquer a few underground labyrinths to further enhance my own strength so that I can completely take back the Cerro Vomen Plain in this cold winter.
Put everything on the negotiating table.
Hopefully, when I succeed, I can get the compensation I deserve.”
"I understand. I will convey it on behalf of General Potato.
Well, I have other things to do."
Just as she was about to cut off the connection, Dorena seemed to remember something.
“By the way, the feasibility of General Potato’s tactics was verified on the battlefield around the Qinghe Volcano.
If the general allows, I will promote those uniforms and tactics throughout our army.
Apart from Cerro Vomon and Caffizzaro, our country has a lot of woodland, which I think will definitely come in handy.”
"no problem."
Having said this, Yang Yu asked Bai Jin to cut off contact and organize people to go to the next city.
Dongmu led his troops westward to besiege the Qinghe Volcano. Their advancing speed was far slower than Yang Yu's, but they were also invincible.
After several contacts and confirmation of each other's siege progress, Dongmu and Yang Yu finally met at the foot of the north side of Qinghe Volcano.
As for the Qinghe Volcano, there is only one place left that needs to be conquered, and that is the city of the Blazing Clan.
As soon as he saw Yang Yu, Dongmu laughed as usual, walked behind Yang Yu, patted Yang Yu on the back, praised Yang Yu's performance in the war, and then summoned the Fiery Clan he led.
The Blazing Clan looks no different from humans, but they all have red hair and light red skin, and their ears are pointed, but not as pointed as those of elves.
Under the matchmaking of Dongmu, a hunchbacked old man stretched out his bony hand to Yang Yu.
"I am the leader of the Blazing Fire Clan, my name is Chenshi Blazing Fire, nice to meet you!"
