Above the vast ice fields, the view is full of depressing scenery. When the winter sun rises, the black horizon is a gathering of war horses and warriors.
"The orcs are coming!"
With a simple announcement, the first wave of catapults and strategic magic began to perform their battlefield duties. Huge rubble rushed into the sky with a terrifying sound of wind. Every time it fell, it could take away dozens of lives.
The original Red Maple City was just an ordinary town with double-layered walls inside and outside, but after the investment from all countries regardless of cost, it has become a fortified city with four-layered walls, and there are countless types of defense equipment.
Earth magicians may not have as powerful and gorgeous offensive magic as other elemental mages, but in terms of civil construction and engineering operations, they have advantages that other elemental mages cannot match.
High walls were erected in an instant, and the moat was forcibly widened by seven or eight meters with the sound of "turning soil into mud". The alchemical venom flowing in it may not be very toxic, but it makes people enter.
At least the city wall is more than three times as high. The towering city wall is filled with ballistae and engineering heavy artillery. The griffon knights circle and inspect the sky above, looking for blind spots where loopholes may appear.
On various platforms of the city wall, countless catapults were built. This kind of historical siege and defense weapon can exert satisfactory power as long as there are enough scholars and craftsmen. And the huge stones falling from high altitude and
What's the difference between meteorite spells? Anyway, one hit will kill everyone.
Simple, crude, effective, low cost and effective, this is why the catapult has become a must-have on the battlefield.
But this time, it has just entered the range of the largest catapult. It is so far away that it is impossible to pose a threat of precision strike. But more importantly, it is a deterrent.
"On the battlefield, no place is safe."
The orcs counterattacked not to be outdone, and the movable catapults had a limited range. The largest one's catapult barely hit the city wall, stirring up a burst of dust and gravel, but even earning ridicule from the defenders.
Not long ago, the rubble and boulders outside the city had been cleared. The usable stones were stored as stone bullets in the city. If the orcs wanted to find suitable ones for their own use, they would probably have to use long-distance transportation.
At this time, at the West City Gate, the Donglan people who were assigned as defensive tasks began to prepare for war. As the temporary leader, Renee's palms were full of sweat. This was her second time encountering war, but it was her first time.
Participate in the war as a soldier.
"Hold on, hold on, Renee, you can do it. Brother Roland was younger than you are now when he went to the battlefield."
But what she didn't know was that while she was cheering silently, many interested people were quietly staring at her, and some beings were constantly peering into the mysteries of the world through her eyes.
----------
There is a saying that good intentions lead to bad things. This is very common, but there is also a saying that bad intentions lead to good things. This is indeed rare.
The surrender of the "cowardly" Fimul Kasuo directly brought great shame to the Kingdom of Siluwell, and as the first descendant of Lan to surrender (in name only), he allowed himself to be hanged
While being a pillar of historical shame, it also had an extremely strange and important impact 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 subordinate of the orc tribe overnight. For a time, the lords and lords of various cities and towns were at a loss as to what to do, but the orc army
Therefore, they bypassed various city-states and reached the deepest place, Red Maple City.
"We have already surrendered, so why fight?"
The second thing that had a profound impact was that the elves declared war on the orcs.
Yes, they declared war. The silent alliance only lasted less than half a month before it turned directly into hostility.
This time, the Elf King of Tassel Kingdom did a great job. The human bastard he chose as the trigger was a San Antonio native and a noble of the Principality of Kasomi. As a matchmaker and slave trader,
But he is a noble from Sluwell, and it is said that he has some relationship with Fimul.
As a result, the war was immediately targeted at 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 arouse public resentment, and let the war spread. Since it is to avenge the leader of the anti-war faction, Princess Suana, the domestic peace faction and the rebels will
The war faction could not say anything against it.
But if Sluwell, who was the most culprit target, surrendered to the orcs, and ended up being protected by the orcs, where should they seek revenge?
The famous general 'Black Bear' An Yinluo was both subtle and courageous. After learning about the "Death of Peace Dove" incident, he immediately smelled the conspiracy from Zhou, and immediately brought the bastard noble's family to Kasuo.
Mi removed his name, tied up his brother and gave it to the elves, along with a sincere letter of apology.
"...We are shocked by the tragedy. While we are heartbroken, we are deeply sorry. We will never condone the murderer. Since he himself is dead, we will send his brother, wife and daughter as sacrifices to comfort Her Royal Highness Su Anna.
The spirit in heaven..."
Okay, this is indeed very unkind and shameless, but in a sense, it is really effective for the elves who are famous for accepting death. The human kingdom has also figured out the temperament of these elves who are willing to take soft rather than hard, and who insist on saving face and suffering.
.
"Whose family doesn't have a few unscrupulous descendants? I sincerely apologize. The Principality of Kasomi has done a very good job. If the wives and children of sinners are used as sacrifices, it will be as virtuous as the barbaric orcs. If it spreads to the Tassel Kingdom and the elves,
His reputation is not good either.”
When this news spread, the main war faction in Liusu Kingdom knew that something was wrong.
The elven 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 elven kingdoms known as the free kingdom have different political systems, but it is a reality that the royal power is weak.
In the eyes of the chief envoy of the war faction, if most elves satisfy their desire for revenge and demand an end to the war with their "allies", then Suana's "sacrifice" will be in vain. How can they accept such an inexplicable ending? How can they accept it?
I want to explain to the elves and gods who requested to intensify the conflict.
The elves are very particular about face and name. Wouldn't a war without justice become an evil invader? How can the elves who are kind and love peace become an evil invader? We must become the righteous party.
The target of our attack must be the heinous villain.
As a result, a piece of conclusive information was uncovered, including evidence that elves have been trafficked in recent years. Those elf traders and slave-catching teams actually have official backgrounds. The culprits. Or the masterminds behind the scenes are directly directed at Sluwell and
His nobility, his royal family.
In fact, since the evil slave trade occurred in this country, and the official turned a half-eye to it, how could the upper echelons of this country be so clean after a bloody profit chain was established.
Okay, the next thing is that it's all King Fimul's fault, but to be honest, judging from the hundreds of elf dancers in his palace, it's not the wrong person to blame.
So in the eyes of the elves, they are not invading at all, they are seeking revenge and upholding justice. The sinful Kingdom of Sluwell must pay the price, and evil humans will be driven away from the kingdom of elves.
But now, the elves have encountered some minor troubles. Siluwell surrendered. How could the Lan tribe, which had never surrendered, surrender? In the eyes of these longevity tribes, this was the same as the fact that the elves suddenly became cheerful and generous, and the dwarves became clean and tidy.
, it’s incredible that the orcs have become knowledgeable.
But Siluwell did surrender. Then, whether the elves should still take revenge now becomes a big question.
If I don't take revenge, I can't swallow this breath. I can't explain it to certain beings. But if I take revenge, is it revenge against Fimul under the rule of the orcs? Will the orcs be willing to spit out the important results that the orcs finally obtained?
"Stupid beast barbarian, hand over that Fimul and his bloody men. We still have something to talk about...Wait a minute, why are you dragging me along? Ah!"
The elf envoy was as arrogant as ever, turning a negotiation that was 90% likely to fail into an absolute failure, but this was also the result that a certain elf king needed.
"Master priests, please tell that master that his will will be carried out."
Ansolo Siusta Adelban, this long name, is already an abbreviation with more than a dozen short words omitted. He has many life stories and many famous names, but there is one adjective that can be said very well.
A good description of his characteristics is the main god of elves.
The Gods of Order are composed of many gods, but among them, there are only seven main god-level existences, which is enough to prove his power. By the way, it was he who exiled Rose, which led to the collective fall of the dark elves.
.Lost, among the targets that Heloise vowed to take revenge on, he was also the leader.
As the main god of elves and the patron saint of the entire elven race, how could Ansuolo's will be violated. So, the elves directly declared war on the orcs, and they declared war on the orcs who "attempted" to protect Fimul.
"As expected of an elf, this brain structure... It seems that no elf expert has evaluated this change. I'm afraid our elf science textbook will need to be revised again. Hmm, the more intense the fight, the better. It's best if we die together.
"
While many military strategists in the human kingdom were shocked, they enthusiastically expected to see a dog-eat-dog comedy. However, they soon 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 show. Of course, the elven language they were proud of did not have such a dirty word as slaughter, they used purification.
Overflowing hatred is contagious, and bloodthirsty madness can spread. Soon, the trial gets out of control. If evidence is found from a noble that his ancestors were involved in elf slavery, it is enough for that family to be hanged.
"What? Grandfather actually used to be a mercenary? You can't tell where he used to make a living? Well, I'm sorry, since you can't prove his innocence, you are guilty, and if he is guilty, you are guilty."
The elf priests who served as judges also fell into inexplicable fanaticism. In their trials, which were full of presumptions of guilt and implicated criminals, few people escaped unscathed. The only advantage compared to the orcs was that they did not touch the civilians for the time being.
Or should I say, I didn’t take the initiative to touch the civilians.
Moreover, how could there be no casualties in the war? Faced with their own losses, the so-called elegance of the elves was probably to choose a way to die that would not be too ugly for the soldiers defending the city.
As a result, the captured city was covered with human heads, and the civilians who were lucky enough to survive looked at these long-eared eyes full of hatred.
"It's really a crazy petition. I'm afraid that the elves in the north will never be able to return to their past appearance. Maybe after this catastrophe, there will be no elves left."
But I see sadness in the madness of the elves. The only one who can dominate the will of the priest is the true god. Since the true gods have no regard for their face, I am afraid that they themselves have fallen into despair and madness.
Choosing to abandon the Gods of Order as soon as possible and serve as the vanguard of the divine war, in this era where vanguard and cannon fodder are almost synonymous, I am afraid that the collective fall of the elven gods will soon follow.
"It's truly a feast for betrayers."
While saying this, I was repeatedly checking the letter I wrote to another betrayer. Whether this betrayer has any intention of re-choosing his side 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 personally have long been looking forward to your torture art and have always wanted to find an opportunity to discuss it with you (
Save yourself 5,000 words of flattery)...You have also heard about a series of things that have happened recently. I have a little suggestion here..."
