Remember in one second,
In the spring of the twenty-first year of the Holy Calendar, Iliad VIII of the Cretan Empire passed away at the age of forty-two. Because all his heirs died in previous rebellions, Archduke Vodigan, who had the first right to inherit the throne, took over his His brother's crown became the emperor of the Cretan Empire, calling himself Vordigone I.
Subsequently, the coalition composed of the Church of Light and the Cretan Empire, with Charles, the leader of the Knights of Light, appointing the supreme commander of the coalition, declared war on the orc kingdom of Menkaure, with nearly 80,000 cavalry and hundreds of thousands of conscripts. Soldiers, a total of 200,000 troops crossed the Red River Plain and suddenly launched an attack on the Kingdom of Menkaure, but the Kingdom of Menkaure was not prepared at all.
Because the army of the Cretan Empire was good at attacking forts, and the orc army of the Kingdom of Menkaure was not good at defending the city, they were quickly invaded by the human coalition and entered the Kingdom of Menkaure. In an instant, the Kingdom of Menkaure was filled with smoke and weapons.
Among the 200,000 coalition troops, in addition to the regular army, there are more levies from the nobles and knights. The reason why these people participated in the war, besides being recruited by the Church of Light and His Majesty the Emperor, was to plunder, and they carried with them They don't have much food, so they must fight to support war all the way to be able to sustain themselves. The desire to plunder wealth is the guarantee of their morale and combat effectiveness.
Wherever the army passed, there were corpses everywhere. At this time, the human army was reduced to bandits who burned, killed and looted. Sometimes there was no difference between soldiers and bandits, let alone facing aliens. They killed the entire marching route. Rivers of blood flowed, and purses were full of loot. They were approaching the royal capital in the heart of Menkaure. The entire Menkaure Kingdom was plunged into mourning and blood.
The kings and nobles of the Kingdom of Menkaure had no idea that the Cretan Empire, which was still in turmoil some time ago, would stabilize so quickly, complete the succession of imperial power, and form a coalition with the Church of Light to launch a war against them. , as the war and military lines advanced, they fell into panic and panic one by one.
The Kingdom of Menkaure, which hastily faced the battle, gathered an army of 70,000, and decided to rely on the dangerous terrain in the Garry Valley to block the unstoppable edge of the human coalition while asking for help from other orc kingdoms and nearby large tribes.
On the first three days, the army of the Kingdom of Menkaure indeed blocked the advancement of the human coalition forces by relying on the Garry Valley. However, on the fourth day, humans sent out their first extraordinary force, the Judgment Priest Corps.
Dozens of priests who had mastered extraordinary abilities led the Knights of Light to defeat the entire orc army. Wherever the holy light and sword swept, there were dead and wounded everywhere. No one could resist. The orc army dispersed in panic. Fleeing in a panic, the human coalition forces chased them all the way. The road from the Garry River Valley to the King of Menkaure was filled with deserters and abandoned armor, and the road was covered with corpses.
The corpses of the orc army floating in the Garry River were passed one by one with no end in sight. They fed the fish in the river until they were fat, and the surging river turned blood red. From the beginning of the war, It only took half a month to reach the capital of Menkaure. The human coalition forces had already driven the kingdom of Menkaure to death.
The human coalition forces have not yet arrived. When the news of the army's defeat arrived, the city of Menkaure fell into chaos. All the nobles, officials, businessmen, and ordinary bosses were packing their things and trying to escape from the city. .
Even the waiters and guards in the palace were in a panic. People could be seen running everywhere. Many of the servants even secretly carried their belongings and tried to escape. Even the guards could not stop them and had no intention of stopping them. People were distracted. , the weather of destruction has emerged.
King Mengkaure sat on the throne with dull eyes, holding the legendary Sword of the King with both hands. The hall was empty, without even a lamp, and it completely lost the bright and majestic feeling of the past. There were footsteps outside. There was a sound, and the tauren general walked in.
"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged."
King Mengkaure raised his head and looked very old for a moment: "How could this happen? How could it suddenly become like this?"
King Menkaure stood together, his ferocious leopard eyes were about to burst: "It was they who deceived me, it was those guys from the Dark Council, it was those wizards, it was you, it was you who deceived me, you all deceived me, how could they If you dare to fight, how could they fight here so quickly? It’s not my fault, it’s not my fault.”
The king fell into a state of madness and stood up from the throne. In the end, he could only give out a meaningful bitter smile, which was extremely sour.
Within the royal city, chaos reached the extreme, panicking, running, and crying. Even before the human coalition forces came, it was as if the end of the world had already arrived. The streets were congested and airtight, with people crowding each other, cars crashing into each other, and people swearing and angry. The sound kept coming, and everyone hurriedly wanted to run out of the city.
The king took his son and led from an underground passage to the outside of the city. Outside the city, there were already hundreds of cavalry waiting. A leopard knight.
The orc child struggled and cried, "Father, what's going on? I don't want to leave you."
King Mengkaure was heartbroken and waved his hands. He saw the knights saluting the king collectively, then mounting their horses and leaving quickly. King Mengkaure then turned back to look at the cavalrymen who were leaving, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"The Church of Light will not let me go. Let's run in that direction and try to distract our attention."
King Meng Kala left with dozens of remaining cavalry. At dawn, he saw the royal city in the distance ignited with raging fire and plunged into a fiery red. King Meng Kala and the knights who ran halfway were all stunned. Living.
"What are they going to do? Are they going to massacre the city? What are they going to do?"
"Humanity, Church of Light, Empire of Crete."
King Mengkaure fell off his horse and struggled to get up. His teeth gritted as he read these names, and his heart was filled with hatred and regret.
This scene made everyone present shed tears in their eyes and covered their faces. At this moment, they had already reached the upper reaches of the Kadai River. As long as they crossed the river, they could go far away. However, at this moment, no one had any intention of running anymore. The young orc cavalry dismounted directly, faced the royal city, and knelt on the ground.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves and the collision of armors came from the distance. It was the pursuit of the human coalition. From a distance, it looked dark, not accompanied by the shadow of the night. They never forgot King Menkaure, and The sword of kingship in his hand.
The tauren general picked up the long sword, but did not look at the charging enemy, but at his loyal king: "Your Majesty, do you regret it?"
King Menkaure remained silent, and the Tauren general did not wait for the king's answer. As dozens of cavalry led by him fought with the enemy, the sounds of swords clashing and shouts of killing echoed through the sky with the arrival of dawn.
However, under the siege of the human army, no matter how brave these people were, they still died one by one. As the tauren general was attacked by three people, several long swords penetrated his chest and back, and he died on the ground, facing He knelt down and closed his eyes.
Now only King Menkaure is left. He is wearing a heavy animal skin cloak and a crown standing on the bank of the Gari River. He is watching the neatly arranged team approaching him. Everyone is watching this man who is in trouble. The king's eyes are full of killing intent and coldness. Kill him, take his head, and take back the sword of royal power, and you can gain wealth, glory, status, and everything you want.
King Menkaure held the Sword of Royal Power and turned back to look at the human army that surrounded him. His originally dull expression and face suddenly became extremely ferocious. The hatred and anger in his eyes made all the hair on his body stand on end. When he stood up and spoke, the muscles in his neck were trembling: "Humans, I curse you, I curse you."
King Menkaure glanced at everyone present. Their ferocious and ugly faces, their swords and armors were stained with the blood of orcs, and each of them was stained with the life of orcs. The light of the rising sun shone on him. There seemed to be a surging smell of blood on his body, and even his voice turned into a desperate howl: "You will pay the price for your evil deeds. You will never get this sword of the king. One day, The king of our orcs will repay this pain to you thousands of times."
After King Menkaure said these words, he turned around and threw himself into the surging Gari River. He rolled with the rolling waves and disappeared without a trace, carrying the sword of royal power.
