Above the vast ice field, there are depressing scenery everywhere. When the sun rises in winter, the black horizon is the gathering of war horses and warriors.
"The Orcs are here!"
With a simple announcement, the first wave of slings and strategic magic began to perform their battlefield duties. The huge rubble rushed into the sky with a terrifying sound of wind. Every time it fell, it could take dozens of lives.
The original Red Maple City was just an ordinary town with a double-layered inner and outer city wall, but after experiencing the investment of various countries regardless of the cost, it has become a fortified city with a four-layered city wall, and there are countless kinds of defense equipment.
Earth magicians may not have the powerful and gorgeous offensive magic of other elemental mages, but they have unmatched advantages in civil engineering and engineering operations.
High walls were erected in an instant, and the moat was stretched seven or eight meters wide with the sound of "turning soil into mud".
At least the city wall is more than three times taller, and the towering city wall is full of ballistas and heavy engineering artillery. Griffin knights circled and patrolled the sky, looking for dead ends that might have loopholes.
On the various platforms of the city wall, countless slings have been built. This long-established siege and city defense weapon can exert a satisfying power as long as there are enough scholars and craftsmen. What is the difference between the meteorite technique, anyway, one smashed will die.
Simple, rude, effective, low cost and effective, that is why catapults have become a must-have on the battlefield.
But this time, just entering the range of the largest catapult, it is so far away that it is impossible to cause a threat of precision strikes, but more, it is a deterrent.
"On the battlefield, no place is safe."
The orcs fought back not to be outdone. The catapults that could move had a limited range, but the largest catapult barely hit the city wall, causing a burst of dust and gravel, but it was even more ridiculed by the defenders.
Not long ago, the gravel and boulders outside the city had been cleaned up, and all the stones that could be used were stored in the city as stone bullets. If the orcs wanted to find suitable ones for themselves, I am afraid they could only transport them remotely.
At this time, at the West City Gate, the Donglan people who were assigned here as a defensive mission began to prepare for the battle. As the temporary leader, Renee's palm was full of sweat. This was the second time she encountered war, but the first time. Participate in the war as a soldier.
"Hold on, hold on, Renee, you can do it. Brother Roland was younger than you when he was on the battlefield."
But what she didn't know was that when she was silently cheering, many people with intentions were quietly staring at her, and some beings were constantly spying on the mysteries of this world through her eyes.
…
There is a saying that good intentions do bad things, which is very common, but there is also a saying that bad intentions do good things, which is really rare.
The surrender of "The Cowardly" Fimuel Caso directly brought great shame to the Kingdom of Sluwell, and as the first descendant of Lan (nominal) to surrender, he was letting himself be hanged. At the same time as the column of historical shame, it had a very strange and important influence on the war situation.
First of all, due to the fall of the entire kingdom and the surrender of the royal family, the nominal Sluwell became a slave of the orc tribe overnight. For a time, the city lords and lords of various cities and towns were at a loss, but the orc army Therefore, it bypassed various city-states and reached the deepest Red Maple City.
"They have already surrendered, so what are they fighting?"
The second profound influence was that the elves declared war on the orcs.
Yes, they declared war, and the silent ally relationship only lasted for less than half a month, and it directly turned into a hostile relationship.
This time, the elf king of the Tassel Kingdom did a great job. The human bastard he chose as the fuse was from San Antonio, and he had the noble status of the Principality of Kasomi. It is a nobleman of Sluwell, and it is said that he has some relationship with Fimr.
Therefore, the target of the war was locked on the Kingdom of Sluwell and the Principality of Kasomi, and San Antonio was naturally unable to get rid of the relationship.
His plan is good. As long as the war goes well, he will use this fuse to escalate all the way, continue to stir up public resentment and let the war spread. Since it is to avenge the leader of the anti-war faction, Princess Suanna, the domestic peace faction and anti-war faction will escalate all the way. The war faction could not say anything against it.
But if Sluwell, the most culprit of the target, surrendered to the orcs and ended up being sheltered by the orcs, should they take revenge over there
Famous general 'Black Bear' An Yinluo has both roughness and detail, and is quite bold. After learning about the "Death of the Dove of Peace" incident, he immediately smelled the conspiracy from Zhou, and immediately put the bastard noble family in Caso. Mi removed his name, tied his brother to the elf, and attached a sincere letter of apology.
"... We are shocked to ask about the tragedy, and at the same time, we are deeply regretful. We will never tolerate the murderer. Since he himself has died, we will send his brother, wife and daughter as sacrifices to comfort His Highness Suana's spirit in heaven..."
Well, this is indeed very unkind and shameless, but in a sense, it is indeed effective for elves who are famous for admitting death. .
"No one has few unworthy descendants. I sincerely apologize. The Principality of Kasomi has done a very good job. If the sinner's wife and children are used as sacrifices, it is almost the same virtue as the barbarian orcs. It spreads to the Tassel Kingdom and the elves. not good reputation."
When this kind of news spread, the main battle faction of the Tassel Kingdom knew that the situation was not good.
The elf kingdom is the birthplace of the consul system and the parliamentary system. It is a symbol of equality and freedom in the eyes of the world. The elf kingdoms known as the free kingdom have different political systems, but the weak kingship is a reality.
In the eyes of the main messengers of the war faction, if most of the elves satisfy their desire for revenge and demand to stop the war with their "ally", then Suana's "sacrifice" will not be in vain. How can such an inexplicable ending be accepted? I want to confess to the elf gods who want to intensify the conflict.
And the elves are very, very concerned about face and name. Wouldn't a war without righteousness become an evil invader? How can a kind and loving spirit that preside over peace become evil invaders? We must become the righteous party, and the target of our attack must be the most heinous villains.
As a result, a conclusive document was dug out, which contained evidence that elves were abducted and sold in recent years. Those elves dealers and slave-catching teams actually had official backgrounds, and the culprits, or those behind the scenes, all pointed to Sluwell and his nobility, royal family.
In fact, since the sinful slave trade took place in this country, and the officials turned a blind eye to it, when a bloody chain of interests was established, how could the upper layers of this country be clean.
Well, the next thing is that it's all the fault of King Fimuel, but to be honest, judging from the hundreds of elf dancers in his palace, it's really not the wrong person.
So in the eyes of the elves, they are not aggression at all, they are revenge and justice, the sinful kingdom of Sluwell must pay the price, and the evil human will be driven from the kingdom of elves.
But now, the elves have encountered a little trouble again, Sluwell has surrendered, and the Lan people who have never surrendered will actually surrender? In the eyes of these long-lived people, this is as incredible as the elves suddenly become cheerful and generous, the dwarves become clean and tidy, and the orcs become knowledgeable.
But Sluwell did surrender, not to mention, then, whether the elves should take revenge now has become a big question.
If you don't take revenge, you won't be able to swallow this breath, and you won't be able to explain to some beings, but if you take revenge, is it vengeance against Fiml under the rule of the orcs? Will the orcs be willing to spit out the major victory that the orcs finally won
"Stupid beastman, hand over that Fimuel and his bloody men, we still have a talk... Wait, why are you dragging me. Ah!"
The arrogance of the elf envoy as always made the negotiation that 90% of the time fail turned into an absolute failure, but this is also the result that a certain elf king needs.
"Master priests, please tell that master, his will will definitely be implemented."
Ansolo Husta Adelban, this lengthy name is already an abbreviation with a dozen short words omitted. There are many life stories and many names, but there is one adjective that can be very useful. A good description of his characteristics - Elf Lord God.
The gods of order are made up of a mixture of many gods, and among them, there are only seven main god-level existences, which is enough to prove his power. By the way, it is he who exiled Rose and led to the collective degeneration of the dark elves. , among the targets of Heroes' vow of revenge, she is also the leader.
As the main god of elves and the patron saint of the entire elves race, how could Ansolo's will be violated, so the elves directly declared war on the orcs, and they declared war on the orcs who "attempted" to shelter Fimr.
"As expected of an elf, this head structure... It seems that no elf expert has evaluated this change. I'm afraid our elf study textbook will be revised again. Hmph, the more intense the fight, the better, and the best is to die together."
While many military strategists in the human kingdom were stunned, they eagerly looked forward to seeing a dog-eat-dog comedy, but soon, they discovered that the declaration of war was just a pretense.
When the orcs abandoned other towns and concentrated on preparing for the decisive battle, the elves began to take over the slaughter. Of course, their proud Elvish language did not contain such filthy words as slaughter, they used purification.
Excessive hatred will be contagious, bloodthirsty madness will spread, and soon, the trial will get out of control, and finding evidence of his ancestors' participation in elf slaves from a noble is enough to make that family hanged.
"What? Grandfather actually used to be a mercenary? You can't tell where he used to seek a living? Well, sorry, since you can't prove his innocence, you're guilty, and if he's guilty, you're guilty."
The elven priests who acted as judges also fell into an inexplicable frenzy. In their trials full of presumptions of guilt and implicated criminals, very few people escaped. Compared with the orcs, the only advantage is that they did not move civilians for the time being. Or it should be said that they did not take the initiative to move civilians.
Moreover, how could there be no casualties in the war, in the face of their own losses, the so-called grace of the elves is probably to choose a way of death that is not too ugly for those defending the city.
As a result, the captured city was covered with heads, and the eyes of the civilians who survived were full of hatred when they looked at these long ears.
"It's really a maddening letter. I'm afraid, the Northland elves will never be able to return to the past. I'm not sure, after this catastrophe, there will be no elves."
However, I can see the sadness from the madness of the elves. Only the true gods can dominate the priest's will. Since the true gods have already disregarded their face, I am afraid that they themselves have fallen into desperation and madness.
Choose to turn away from the gods of order at the first time and act as the vanguard of the battle of gods. In this era when vanguard and cannon fodder are almost synonymous, I am afraid that the elf gods will fall collectively soon after.
"It's really a feast for the betrayer."
Having said this, I was repeatedly checking the letter I wrote to another betrayer. Whether this betrayer has any intention of re-choosing his position is directly related to the victory of this war.
"Dear Ms. Rose, hello, I am your loyal fan Roland Lan, you may have heard of me, I have been looking forward to your torture art for a long time, and I have been looking for an opportunity to ask you for advice ( Save 5,000 words of flattery)... You have also heard about a series of things that have happened recently, and I have a small suggestion here... "
