This thousands-mile-long highland is located in the northeastern part of the Gallic Empire, overlooking the northern provinces of the Gallic Empire across the Seine River.
The land in the highlands is barren, and most of the area is composed of rocky mountains. The living environment is extremely difficult. The highlanders living here have developed a strong and tough character. Their adult men are all qualified warriors, and
As long as highlanders who have practiced fighting spirit are willing to leave their homeland, they can generally get a good position in the armies of various countries in the Western continent.
Densely packed camps are dotted on the western edge of the highlands, separated by several hills and the mighty Seine River. Thirty miles away is the northern territory of the Gallic Empire. Starting from here, if we can set up enough tents on the Seine River,
With the pontoon bridge, more than 400,000 elites were able to cross the Seine River in two hours and suddenly appeared on the flank of the orc army, giving them a severe blow.
The last four semi-elite legions under Arthur's command are now stationed here to recuperate.
Lin Qi knew that relying solely on these four and a half legions of human elites would not be able to fight against the huge orc army. And he was in the highlands. This rocky desert plateau was rich in powerful warriors, who were no weaker than the barbarian warriors.
Highland warrior!
Therefore, the messengers sent by Lin Qi appeared in various tribes in the highlands. They sent valuable gifts to the leaders of those tribes and a large amount of food and gold coins to those tribes.
The poor highlanders could not resist the temptation of Lin Qi's gold coins. While the army was recuperating in the past few days, groups of highland warriors had gathered from all directions and joined Lin Qi's army. In just a few days,
Fifty thousand highlanders gathered under Lin Qi's command, and Lin Qi was already ambitiously preparing to organize them into a pure highland regiment.
The generous Arthur once allowed Lin Qi to freely go to his baggage warehouse to take the baggage and weapons he needed. Those sophisticated armors and weapons are now used by Lin Qi to arm the highlanders. These poor highlanders usually carry
Wooden sticks and simple swords can defeat several times the number of human warriors. When they put on sophisticated armor and picked up sophisticated weapons, a team of thousands of highlanders even killed one in a front-on simulated confrontation.
Ten thousand light cavalry!
Moreover, these highland people are simple and honest. They are straightforward people. When Lin Qi gives them money, they will work hard for Lin Qi. They do not know any conspiracy, and the sturdy and brave highlanders will not escape in the face of battle.
, the combat effectiveness of these 50,000 highlanders on the frontal battlefield was even more powerful than the human soldiers of the two legions.
"Isn't it just a little gold coin? With these highlanders, they will earn me more gold coins!"
Lin Qi smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a thin line. He poured out a lot of gold coins and gave away a large number of precious gifts. What he wanted was this result. These highland warriors would become a handle in his hand.
The sharp sword will help him earn more profits in the future.
Especially since more Highlanders are still coming here, Lin Qi made a preliminary estimate. As long as he has enough chips, he should be able to recruit nearly two legions of Highlanders here!
Neither the Gallic Empire nor the Caesar Empire dared to arm the highlanders in such a large-scale, for fear of forming a powerful posture and threatening the rule of the empire. But Lin Qi had no such concerns. If possible, he even considered supporting a highland kingdom.
, what loss does this have to him?
Standing on the top of a mountain, there is a lush black pine forest at the foot. A few miles ahead is the roaring Seine River. On the other side of the river is also a black pine forest. The large black pine forest spreads all the way along the gentle hills.
It extends to New Dunerker and other cities in the North Sea.
The black pine forest in the north of the Gallic Empire is a famous source of high-quality timber in the western continent.
"Are the materials for building the pontoon bridge ready?" Lin Qi played with a gold coin and asked the legion commander Haring who was standing next to him.
Haring, who swore allegiance to Lin Qi, nodded solemnly and began to report to Lin Qi the results of his and other regiment commanders' work these days. Tens of thousands of soldiers rested during the day and entered the black pine forest at the foot of the mountain to cut wood at night.
They have accumulated enough wood in the past few days.
With the help of the magician, it only takes a few hours to build a hundred strong pontoon bridges on the Seine River. The number of soldiers Lin Qi now has in his hands, plus the newly arrived highlanders, is five
If a legion's troops are organized properly, they can all cross the river in a few hours, and in at most two hours, the vanguard cavalry brigade can appear in front of the orcs.
"I don't know what the fight will look like!" Lin Qi took a deep breath.
Alda mentioned to him a plan to use succubus to seduce the orc army, drain their physical strength, and strive for a big victory. This plan was shameless, obscene, and full of the evil atmosphere of the devil, and Lin Qi decisively agreed.
I accepted Alda's suggestion. I don't know how Alda's sexy plan is going. Twenty-five thousand succubi from the Sixth Abyss, this guy really dares to think of this!
In the past two days, Lin Qi was busy taking care of the Highlanders' affairs, and did not bother to contact Alda. However, Alda did not take the initiative to summon Lin Qi, so the situation on his side must not be much worse.
Just when Lin Qi lowered his head and thought, Haring and the people around Lin Qi exclaimed loudly. They pointed at the black pine forest across the Seine River, and their faces looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Lin Qi raised his head, and his eyes almost jumped out of his sockets. A ray of red light appeared in a very far place. From south to north, the ray of red light was almost endless. The cold wind howled, and the ray of red light appeared.
It is getting stronger and stronger, and seems to be slowly spreading here.
Everyone just stood on the top of the mountain blankly, watching the line of red light gradually approaching. More than two hours later, the red light had turned into a flame visible to the naked eye, rising dozens of meters high and swallowing it silently.
Along the way, the black pine forests burned one hilltop after another bright red.
The black pine forests here are all hundreds of years old, with rich rosin accumulated under the bark, which is a good fuel for combustion. The continuous fire has become a prairie fire, accompanied by the terrifying sound of tree trunks bursting, and the overwhelming fire
It just burned over slowly.
Lin Qi was covered in cold sweat, who bastard set this fire? Not even an orc would do this!
Although orcs are ferocious and vicious, orcs are worshipers of nature. They worship all mountains and rivers, all forests and grasslands, and all natural spirits. They respect the forest and the animals and birds in the forest. They are dealing with human beings.
Although they were cruel and cruel at that time, they would never use such atrocities in the forest!
Looking at the fire, from the extreme north to the invisible south, there are fires slowly burning towards this side. This fire has the potential to burn the entire northern province of the Gallic Empire to the ground.
Stance! What kind of bastard did this?
The fire was about a hundred miles away from Lin Qi, but standing on the top of the mountain, Lin Qi and others could already see how large a area this devastating fire covered. The overwhelming fire kept pouring into the sky.
It came over, as if it was going to burn the whole world to ashes.
The fire slowly spread, and a fierce roar like a dragon's roar came from far away. A powerful and unusual fighting spirit rose into the sky, and a tall figure flew hundreds of meters high from the dense forest, suspended in the sky.
He stared blankly at the fire spreading in the distance in mid-air.
"Damn it, who set the fire? Such a nice forest! Such a big forest! Who set the fire?"
The strong man, who was two heads taller than a normal person, roared angrily, and the pressure of semi-god-level fighting energy spread around like a sea wave.
Lin Qi's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle. He was a barbarian. His tall figure and dense magic patterns under his skin revealed his bloodline. His whole body was only covered with a piece of animal skin under his crotch, and he was carrying a backpack on his back.
There was a huge round shield with three spears made of unknown animal bones hung on it. The barbarian cursed angrily at the fire.
Dozens more figures jumped up from the dense forest. They stepped on the high branches and stared dumbfoundedly at the approaching fire.
The demigod barbarian roared angrily for a while, and then called for those people to retreat in the direction of the Seine River. Even if he is a demigod, facing the forest fire that has become a prairie fire, the barbarian can only helplessly
Shaking his head. If it were a water magic god who was proficient in various forbidden spells, it would be possible to save this fire disaster, but a barbarian demigod would be powerless against such a fire.
A group of barbarians crossed the Seine River easily, and then they jumped onto the big tree on the other side of the river, standing on a high place and helplessly watching the fire in the distance.
Lin Qi stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the barbarian demigod several miles away with a look of disbelief on his face.
Why is there a barbarian demigod here? Or in the words of the barbarians themselves, it is called a god of war.
Moreover, among the thirty or so strong barbarians accompanying him, the weakest ones were all lower-level warriors of the Holy Master.
Although the equipment on them looks inconspicuous, very rough and ancient, the materials of those equipment are very amazing. For example, the round shield behind the God of War is made from the skull of a giant dragon. It is a real shield.
The dragon bone shield. As for the three javelins, Lin Qi couldn't recognize what materials they were made of, but the faint runes on the javelins made Lin Qi feel palpitations.
Alda reported to Lin Qi that the two demigods from the Odin Temple and the Prairie Temple broke into the Holy Mountain to provoke and announced a divine war.
However, the war has lasted for so long. Whether it is aliens or humans, the strongest fighting force dispatched is only the saints. As for the demigods that Asen Bills and Hamimi Galdi threatened to dispatch, not a single one has been dispatched yet.
Didn't show up!
Now, a barbarian god of war suddenly appeared here.
Lin Qi pondered for a moment, then lightly pressed his right hand, and everyone walked down the hill as fast as possible. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (this site) to subscribe and reward,
