The transfer order belonging to Orkus has been issued. As he expected, he must first rush to the Chongrong East battlefield to join the six armies of the empire that are confronting the Dragon Clan here, and appear in front of the Dragon Clan to help them disrupt the battle. The deployment of the Dragon Clan.
Immediately afterwards, he will follow the Seventh Army into Heavy Velvet.
Chongrong, once the homeland of the orcs, became a completely vacant area after the orcs completely migrated into the territory of the Demon Fox Iris clan.
This is the requirement of the Dragon Clan, and a buffer zone must be left. They know very well that Selier's powerful troops cannot be wiped out with a single wave of victory, and the terrain of Chongrong area is basically half-divided into plains and mountains. , which belongs to the engagement area that is acceptable to both the Anti-Sereer Alliance and Sereer.
Everyone knows that no one can win the other in one go in the first battle, but both sides want the momentum bonus from the first battle.
Of the two battlefields divided by heavy velvet, the biggest enemy on the east battlefield is naturally the dragon clan, which is eyeing them with eagerness, while on the west side is the multi-racial coalition led by elves.
Serier, who marched from north to south, did not choose to bypass the heavy battlefield. His Majesty's purpose was obvious. He needed the nobles who had been silent for many years. The army was bathed in blood again and understood what war was.
Zoregos, recorded in the history books of Serer, is the deepest pain of every Serer person.
The empire that is so powerful that the Serel people can't breathe is a misfortune that the Serel people must overcome.
The conquest of Mostana was a rehearsal for the goal of returning to their homeland.
Therefore, no one in Selier's senior leadership chose to take a detour when it came to the dragon leader's move to make a fuss about the heavy velvet battlefield.
They must fight head-on. Even if they are flanked by something, they are confident that they can defeat these chickens and dogs head-on.
The southern battlefield is the third battlefield requested by His Majesty.
The elite light cavalry and a small number of heavy cavalry who had made a surprise attack on the Goblins earlier had arrived at Chongrong one step ahead and had been reorganized.
They had no intention of bypassing Heavy Velvet. Now that war had been declared, the entire Mostana would be paying attention to Serel's every move. It would be impossible to sneak behind enemy lines without being discovered for a long time.
Therefore, attacking the southern battlefield requires the simultaneous attack of the imperial troops from the east and west sides, plus a small number of imperial elites to make a gesture to bypass the heavy defense lines on the east and west sides.
When the main force of the alien race is concentrated on the frontal battlefield, the fully assembled Seventh Army will attack with all its strength, tearing a hole and entering the central area of Mostana.
But their goal is not this vast, ethnically diverse place, but the entire rear of Mostana.
It's midsummer, and autumn is about to begin, and the food is about to mature.
And war always consumes a lot of food.
For food located on the frontline battlefield, all major races are watching the battle on the frontline and deciding whether to harvest it in advance or burn it.
And located at the rear of the battlefield, the food here must not be discarded so easily.
As far as Orcus knew, the people responsible for the food supply and turnover in the rear were the Demon Fox and Blue Water.
Blue Water is a very strange race. The gods they believe in are not their own race, but are quite similar to humans.
Vanessa, the mother goddess who once appeared in the history of Blue Water, taught them one thing - don't panic when you have food in your hands.
The Blue Water clan is famous for their love of hoarding grain, and the amount of food they hoard is enough to feed more than 300,000 people in the clan for six to seven years.
Not only did they purchase from outside, they also cultivated a large area and tended various plants and food crops.
They used the fertile land on the edge of the large wetland to grow a large amount of food and sell it, so that no matter how restricted Selier was in recent years, he could not effectively harm Blue Water.
The surrounding races are very happy to exchange the items purchased by sea with the high-quality crops of Blue Water, but this kind of exchange is beyond Seliel's control.
Because merchants could not enter Blue Water, Selier had a dark look at the area planted by Blue Water over the years, the amount of grain produced, and the preservation status of the grain they had hoarded.
In this surprise attack on the rear, the primary goal was to destroy the channel through which the Demon Fox transported food, and the secondary goal was to find a way to destroy Lan Shui's grain fields and granaries.
Three seven-staffed warriors, three crystal-level warriors, four thousand light cavalry, one thousand heavy cavalry, and ten thousand elite soldiers with combat experience accompanied them.
If you advance, you can attack and harass and cut off food. If you retreat, you can set up camps on the spot and contain the coalition forces.
In order for the plan to be implemented smoothly, Orkus was unable to meet with His Majesty with Gilbatos and could only ask him to help convey his concerns.
The two armies of Orkus, which rushed to the Chongrong East battlefield without stopping, had already begun a confrontation.
The dragons in the sky roared loudly from time to time, frightening the sergeants below.
This practice has been going on for two days. Even if the seven-staff magician present casts magic that can block the sound, it will be covered by the dragon elders hiding behind the mountain.
The undisturbed garrison already showed signs of mental weakness. If no attack was launched, the soldiers stationed on the front line of the battlefield might have to be sent to the rear before the battle started.
"Orkus, you are here. The group of guys who are pretending to attack the east and west sides of the heavy fleece haven't assembled yet. Shouldn't they be in place after the war begins?"
"It's good that you're here. As long as you complete the summoning, these dragons will not dare to fly over our heads without restraint..."
Orkus, who was about to rush to the scene, waved his hand to stop the Seven-Wanded companion from complaining, and instead extended his hand forward.
The dragon elder behind the mountain felt the fluctuation of magic power and took a look with half of his head exposed.
The golden spear penetrated the body of a flying dragon like lightning. The flying dragon was still fluttering for a full second before it let out a deafening howl.
The flying dragon kept twisting and struggling, and its huge body fell straight down from the sky.
The other companions wanted to rescue him, but they heard a sharp shout from the elder at the back of the mountain.
"Come back, quickly!"
A tall and tall knight with a light golden light all over his body, riding a winged Pegasus, came to the side of the flying dragon that was still breathing after falling to the ground.
The flying dragon's golden pupils stared intently at the invisible knight.
"Dragon Slayer..."
The golden spear in the dragon slayer's hand was raised high and accurately pierced the flying dragon's eyes and penetrated the brain without causing the flying dragon any more pain.
The Seler soldiers stationed on the front line of the Eastern Battlefield all had scalp numbness.
After a long time, they were led by several magicians and shouted the name of the dragon slayer.
The sound was like a tidal wave, lapping towards the other end of the hill one after another.
"Orcus!"
The dragon clan elder's sharp claws clenched onto the hard rock and shattered it.
Its voice was like thunder, extinguishing the enthusiasm of thousands of people.
As powerful as thunder.
"It's me, I'm right here."
Orkus walked up to the dragon slayer without hiding.
The dragon slayer flicked the dragon's blood from the tip of the spear hard, splashing a trace of ink on the ground. He lightly tightened the reins and used his body to protect Orkus, so that the dragon elders could not look directly at Orkus and Orkus. dialogue.
"We have already started a war. I thought you were mentally prepared."
"We are not despicable people and are not mentally prepared for an undeclared war."
"I am a magician of the empire, and it is my duty to obey orders and do things."
Orkus stepped forward and stared at the huge dragon head on the hill.
"Paparo, we will meet again. You will have a chance to avenge your tribe on the battlefield."
"Your 'Dragon Slayer' cannot slay the dragon's bloodline."
"But you are not dragons either."
On the hilltop, the dragon's head sank little by little, and the dragon's roar that had lingered on the front line for many days disappeared.
Orcus returned to the camp, and deafening cheers were heard all around again.
The soldiers who tasted the joy of victory for the first time sang about the heroic appearance of the "Dragon Slayer" everywhere.
The story of killing a dragon with one shot is constantly being processed.
Orkus's expression still looked depressed and melancholy, as if he wasn't the one who had just summoned the Dragon Slayer to kill the flying dragon instantly.
"Dragon Slayer", a legendary figure in the Selel Empire, is a ruthless character who has honed dragon slaying into a craft.
The advantage of a summoned heroic spirit is that after summoning, it possesses part of his combat power during his lifetime, and coupled with the magic power provided by the summoner himself, it can often exert a very strong effect.
But after experiencing the flesh-and-blood chariot and the inability of the summoned objects to respond, Orkus was also full of doubts about the dragon slayer.
There is more than one legend in the Serel Empire, but it seems that only the "Dragon Slayer" has considerable fighting power after being summoned.
What are the criteria for being summoned and having certain strength?
After groping for so many years, Orkus thought that the conclusion he had reached before was correct, but now...
"The summoning ritual... what exactly is it communicating with?"
On the Eastern battlefield, the story of a dragon slayer killing a dragon with one shot spread far faster than Orkus thought.
Just after reuniting with the Seventh Army, Emperor Selel's commendation also arrived at the front line.
Orcus, who had made great contributions since the beginning of the war, was given the title of "Dragon Slayer".
Although it is just a false title without any rights, it is an affirmation and reward for the summoning technique.
Orkus could count on one hand all the people in Seriel who actually used the summoning spell.
For many years, the use of summoned objects to achieve military exploits on the battlefield has not been heard of in the surrounding continents.
Why wither?
That's it.
The Seven-Staffed Izarebi, the Seven-Staffed Sunafa, General Kenisa, General Lota... Orkus did not expect that these four would be among his fellow travelers in the Seventh Army.
If it were before, he wouldn't have cared so much, but after the surprise attack on the goblins, Randy clearly told him that these four people were the first to start killing the goblins.
Others can still accept it. Sunafa comes from a good background. As the daughter of a marquis, she has always been considered by the outside world to have a gentle personality.
However, a sixth-level magician with such an evaluation actually happily killed the most goblins.
Facing the congratulations from this "gentle" lady, Orkus felt uncomfortable all over.
Fortunately, the gloomy and wizened expression that had always been there relieved Orkus. He just nodded slightly and didn't let others say anything behind his back. After all, he is a man who can make his wife and daughter angry for the summoning experiment. people.
The herald informed Orcus of the arrival of the last batch of military supplies.
The prelude to this war will be kicked off by the Seventh Army. Once they give the order to march, Seler will attack across the board.
The general Luo Ta, who was the commander of the march, was a scarred man with bronze skin and a strong physique. The knife wound across half of his face made his face extremely terrifying. When he spoke with a twisted face, he looked more like a beast roaring.
Orkus did not listen to his pre-war mobilization, but stared blankly at the soldiers in the audience.
Their eyes gradually became fanatical, and the sharp light almost dazzled them. The victorious future described by Luo Ta deeply attracted them.
It was a bright future with a foreign slave in his left hand, gold and silver treasure in his right hand, a fiefdom under his feet, and countless honors on his body.
As Luo Ta's speech became more and more excited, the soldiers in the audience shouted louder and louder.
"March!"
Like a knife thrown to the ground, the sonorous and powerful word march spread fiery emotions to everyone in the Seventh Army.
Serel's 7th Army is on the move.
The messenger rushed back without stopping to deliver the message quickly.
On the Western Front battlefield, a Seler soldier threw the metal can he had prepared into the dense forest.
One metal can after another drew an arc in the air, and many of them were already burning before they hit the ground.
The fire ignited the natural barrier formed by vines and fallen trees, sending thick smoke everywhere.
The elves who were well prepared did not engage in entanglement at all, but fought and retreated.
They may catalyze the rapid growth of plants, overdraft the fertility of the land and cause parts of the ground to become brittle.
Or rely on their familiarity with the terrain to introduce them to places where poisonous plants gather.
However, the operations of the elves did not achieve good results, because the Serel soldiers had obviously received the order, and they did not pursue excessively. Instead, they took the torches and fuel that had been prepared and burned everything they went.
The ancient trees that had been sleeping quietly here for hundreds of thousands of years and provided shelter for countless birds and animals were burned in the raging fire.
Don't worry about whether it's poisonous or not, Serel's method is just so brutal.
For a time, fires were burning everywhere on the battlefield on the Western Front, and thick smoke was billowing. After setting the fires, countless Sergeants dug fire breaks on the spot to prevent the fire from spreading to their own side.
Faced with such countermeasures, the elves lost a large amount of controlled areas as soon as the war started.
"Luring the enemy deeper?" the commander-in-chief of the Western Front Army smiled contemptuously, "You who live in the dense forest, how can you stop the empire's progress if you leave the forest?"
"Order, don't deal with the elves. They like to retreat, so let them retreat. Leave no grass behind wherever they go. After setting fire to the ground, the army will continue to advance."
"Another order is issued that drinking water from the forest is not allowed. All water must be provided from the rear. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed on the spot."
"Elves can keep prisoners, but they need to abolish their ability to move. Capturing elves, military merit is equivalent to beheading."
The commander-in-chief of the Western Front Army watched the messengers leave one by one, looked at the march map with satisfaction, and smiled involuntarily.
"In Zolegos, we have also suffered from the elves. Your little tricks will not have a second effect on the empire!"
