Chapter 164 The Southern War and His Royal Highness Ninth
southern provinces
A large-scale war is unfolding around Surrey, the kingdom's most important city in the south,
Half a month ago, the trolls in the swamp, with the cooperation of a group of mysterious people, actually took over the indestructible Black Rock Pass.
More than 100,000 troll troops attacked all the way to the city of Surrey.
Three hundred thousand troops from the Southern Corps also rushed to Surrey City to rescue them.
The two parties met not far from the city of Surrey, and the fiercest conflict broke out directly.
"kill!"
"boom!"
"Troll Empire! For the Troll Empire!"
Trolls fight very bravely. Although these troll warriors are poorly equipped, they are much stronger than human warriors and only slightly weaker than ogres.
Trolls are a very magical race, with a mysterious pride and arrogance. I don’t know how the church people encouraged them this time.
It actually gave the troll leader the confidence to build a country, and it was also an empire. Now the troll leader has called himself the Troll Emperor.
And it was this empty title that actually made the troll warriors under him feel as if they had been beaten to death again. They were extremely excited.
At this moment, 100,000 troll warriors were overwhelming the 300,000 Southern Corps.
The troll warriors are poorly equipped, and most of them wear leather armor. This kind of swamp crocodile skin is tanned and worn on the body, but its defense is still so-so.
At least there is no problem in defending against bows and arrows.
But almost none of them have iron weapons in their hands.
The management of Black Rock Pass is strict, and there are no special products in the swamp that can generate huge profits to attract some noble profiteers. Naturally, it is difficult for trolls to obtain iron tools from the human world.
Troll warriors mostly use a big stick,
This is made of logs from the swamp through several processes. Although it looks a bit ridiculous,
But with the trolls' strong bodies, this weapon that looked like a large baseball bat was swung round in their hands, and ordinary human warriors would basically fall to the ground immediately after being hit.
The plains near the city of Surrey are quite suitable for large army battles.
Almost half of the armies of both sides were involved in the battle, and the entire battlefield was so large that it seemed like the entire world was in a fight.
"General Mondel, the front can't hold it anymore, the Seventh Army can't hold it anymore!"
Mondel looked at the sun in the sky, seeming to confirm the time.
"Let the reserve army go up."
"Yes, General."
Mondel is one of the leading generals of the Southern Corps. Although his beard has turned gray, Mondel, who has the peak strength of a great knight, has not lost much in combat power. He still looks burly, with a giant sword in his hand stuck in the ground.
,
Just looking at the weight of the giant sword, you can tell that Mondel is not weak in combat. However, as one of the three generals of the Southern Corps, although Mondel is strong, he usually does not charge into battle easily.
The kingdom has three major corps in the south, with a total strength of more than 1.5 million people.
Mondel is commanding the First Corps, and this time the one closest to Surrey is the First Corps.
Mondel was ordered to lead most of the main force of the First Corps to rescue the city of Surrey.
Mondel cannot be called a famous general, but he has rich experience in commanding operations, is known for his stability in using troops, and is good at defensive operations.
But the use of troops this time seemed a bit radical. He actually started to fight against the troll army. It was really unexpected. Even his generals were a little unaccustomed to it.
Although the Southern Corps is a regular army of the Kingdom, its combat effectiveness is actually slightly worse than that of the Jingbei Army.
Not to mention that compared with the Longxiguan garrison, their real strength is only stronger than the local garrison.
He started fighting with the trolls, and soon he couldn't hold on any longer.
"Send all the reserves up, and be sure to stabilize the front."
"this?"
The deputy beside him was obviously hesitant, and the troll army obviously still had some strength left.
The reserve team will be used up now, and if something happens next, there will be no rescue power on hand.
"Just execute the order."
"Yes, General."
Looking at the brutal fighting in front of him, Mondel, who had already sent all the reserve teams, seemed very relaxed.
This group of trolls didn't know how to fight at all. They relied entirely on their physical strength to defeat the Southern Corps, which had average combat effectiveness.
"Boom boom boom..."
Just as the trolls also increased their offensive intensity with the increase in troops from the Southern Corps,
A rumble of horse hooves came from the edge of the battlefield,
"What's going on? Where are the cavalry?"
The Troll Emperor, who was still triumphant on the high platform, suddenly seemed a little flustered, without any bearing of the so-called emperor.
"North, on the north!"
Black cavalry appeared from the edge of the plain, and at least tens of thousands of cavalry rushed towards the center of the battlefield.
These cavalry are different from the Northland cavalry. They ride tall Western horses. The cavalry on the horses are fully armored and their collision force is much stronger.
"boom!"
The cavalry appeared suddenly and quickly. Soon after these tens of thousands of cavalry appeared on the battlefield, they crashed directly into the troll formation.
The terrain is really suitable for these impact cavalry, and the trolls have no formation that can compete with the cavalry.
The collision of the human cavalry against the trolls can be described as devastating.
The morale of the trolls, who had been so high just now, suddenly dropped.
The 100,000 trolls who were originally suppressing the Southern Corps suddenly showed signs of instability.
"Hold on, hold on!"
On the high platform, the troll emperor wearing bright yellow clothes looked a little angry.
The silk robe obviously didn't fit him well. He tore a few holes in the robe with one movement.
He simply stopped maintaining the so-called honorable appearance of an emperor.
He picked up the big stick on the side and was ready to join the battle at any time,
"Why is it cloudy?"
It was obviously a scorching sun just now, so the Troll Emperor raised his head strangely.
What kind of creature is that? The golden scales are more dazzling than the robe on his body.
A thick body, huge wings, sharp teeth, and then the whole world fell into darkness.
"belch!"
"Asuo, can you eat this troll thing?"
"I originally wanted to spray him out with a breath of dragon breath, but I accidentally choked and swallowed it, vomit!"
As he said this, the huge golden dragon made a humane look of nausea.
"Okay, work harder and end the battle as soon as possible."
"Prepare two roast cows for me tonight."
"good!"
The huge dragon wings unfolded again, and the golden dragon soared into the sky, leaving only a group of confused trolls near the Troll Emperor.
The person on the dragon's back is naturally Thor who came to support him.
It should have taken some effort, but who would have thought that the Troll Emperor actually built a high platform by himself and wore bright clothes. If he didn't kill the capital immediately, I would be sorry for being so stupid.
With the addition of Thor, the battle became one-sided without any suspense.
It soon became a game of chasing a rabbit, except that the rabbit was a bit big.
The soldiers below had already begun to cheer. Only Thor stood on the back of the dragon and looked in the direction of the royal capital.
"Your Majesty has taken some risks."
…
Jinlongdu, in a noble residence.
"Your Majesty Ninth Prince, over in the south, Lord Thor has already dealt with the trolls, and I'm afraid they will be back soon."
"I'm just a baronet. Calling me "His Royal Highness" is not worthy of my name."
The title system of the Golden Dragon Kingdom is very strict. Even members of the royal family cannot be knighted without military merit. This Ninth Prince obviously only has the strength of a knight without corresponding military merit. He can only have the title of baronet.
"You will always be His Highness the Ninth Prince."
The implication of these words is that he completely disagrees with Ren as the king of the Golden Dragon Kingdom.
"As expected of Uncle Thor. Although those ogres are stupid, Uncle Thor's movements are indeed a little faster than I thought.
But there is still enough time. In two days, I can avenge my eldest brother and mother.
Ren, he doesn’t deserve to be the king!”
The man who had a balanced tone at first suddenly turned fierce.
"Only you are qualified to sit in that chair."
The attendant responded to the situation by kneeling on the ground, as if he was facing a real king.
