The city of white mist, Surda, stands on the wasteland.
As its name suggests, the city is shrouded in light white mist all year round.
In the distant past, the Surda region was once plagued by a group of terrifying ice dragons.
They build lairs, destroy towns, devour lives, wipe out armies, and freeze everything that comes close.
Over time, the helpless intelligent people could only avoid it, classifying it as a restricted area for life and warning their descendants never to get close.
Countless years later, when people came here again, they found that the magic dragon had disappeared, leaving only the cold and quiet dragon lair.
The dragon's lair is equivalent to a natural giant self-circulating magic workshop, a rare treasure house.
Brave adventurers, shrewd businessmen, wise scholars, experienced magicians, skilled craftsmen...
More and more people with different purposes gathered together. They built houses, markets, and villages on the dragon's lair, and eventually evolved into a magnificent human city called Surda, the City of White Mist.
Whenever the hot summer comes, people from surrounding cities often choose to come to the cool City of White Mist to escape the heat. So much so that it even became a tourist attraction for a time.
With the development of history, the City of White Mist has undergone several changes and was incorporated into the territory of the August Empire in the past hundred years.
In order to prevent the Methra Empire from moving north, the August Palace used the energy cycle in the underground dragon cave of the City of White Mist to transform it into an impregnable fortress city.
A hazy ice mist slowly overflowed from the fifty-meter-high pure white city wall.
Not only can it freeze the enemy, but it will also cause a lag in the energy call within its body.
On the city wall, hundreds of ice cannons are set up on top of each high-rise building.
Unless the underground dragon lair is exhausted or the magic cannon is overloaded, it can bombard the enemy endlessly.
now.
What was once a fortress to resist the advance of the empire has become a steel barrier to prevent the invasion of evil heretics.
This city, which is located on the southern border of August, is no longer inhabited by ordinary people, and is only permanently garrisoned by August's 50,000-strong army.
…
…
In the wilderness outside the north city gate, the military flags of various countries fluttered in the wind.
The endless phalanx formed by chariots, cavalry, heavy infantry, dragon knights, magic-equipped shooters, large-scale magic cannons, and all kinds of magic dolls for war can be seen at a glance.
It's even more exaggerated in the sky.
Griffins, wyverns, hippogryphs, giant floating fortresses and crystal airships of different shapes were overwhelming, crowding the entire sky.
And this seemingly spectacular scene is just the southward troops of the twenty-seven countries of the Reddings continent's crusade against the coalition, including four countries.
Augustus Empire.
One hundred thousand Silver Wing Legion, 20,000 Guards, and an integrated magister group composed of 500 mid-level magicians and above. In addition to the 50,000 defenders originally stationed in the City of White Mist, the total number is 170,000.
Fallas Kingdom of the Holy Spirit.
Fifty thousand elite Temple Knights under the Order, 150,000 Holy Walker Legion, and 3,000 Hand of God Iron Guards directly under the Pope made a special trip to escort the strategic magic weapon 'Eye of the Holy Judgment' here.
The amount of troops Farias invested this time even exceeded that of the host Augustus Empire.
If the country had not implemented the concept of the Supreme God for thousands of years and never invaded other countries, Augustus would never have allowed such a large-scale army to enter the national border.
Morse Federation.
A federal country composed of more than a dozen small mountainous countries in the western part of the continent jointly sent 20,000 airship troops and 5,000 flying dragon knights to support.
Although the number of federal troops is small, they cannot be underestimated.
Because any large adult flying dragon has the strength to sweep through ground troops.
This kind of powerful aerial legion can only be formed in the Morse area where the sub-dragon species inhabits.
Orc Kingdom Sage.
The confederal country composed of the major tribes in the Golden Grassland is temporarily led by the Lion Tribe.
This time, a 50,000 orc army named "Iron Throne" was temporarily formed to conquer the heretics.
On the city wall, Xu Fei found a place with a wide view and looked down.
The majestic military formation of ten thousand people, the mighty torrent of steel.
Xu Fei was shocked but also harbored a hint of disappointment.
If I could see the country where the girl I was thinking about so much was, I might be able to understand her better...
"Sigurd... didn't come?"
Xu Fei said the inappropriate words smoothly, causing Bestav and Natalya beside him to immediately widen their eyes.
"Shh!"
Bestav quickly covered Xu Fei's mouth and made a silencing gesture.
"Brother, don't talk nonsense on such an occasion."
"Among the group of orcs below, there are many guys with excellent hearing."
Bestav pointed down at the orc regiments that were entering the city one after another.
Xu Fei looked puzzled and looked in the direction of his finger.
The rabbit man with a sledgehammer on his shoulder, the cat man with a short sword on his waist, the bear man with a heavy sword on his back, the lizard man with a steel fork in his hand, the bare-butt bird man with nothing...
How to describe it, they are neither like the hideous and ugly orcs in the "Warcraft" movie, nor are they like the sexy and cute beast-eared girls in anime works.
for example.
Except for the bear-men who walk upright and are no different from normal bears, they are classified as the orc race.
Bunnymen, who have human faces and retain only the characteristics of rabbits such as ears, tail and limbs, belong to the half-orc race.
The cat people with furry heads and short limbs are the Urken tribe.
There are so many subdivisions, and indeed reality is very different from film and television works.
anyway……
Why do these orc races seem to have evolved from animals on earth...
On the contrary, the conventional animals on the Leitings continent are completely different from those on Earth...
After thinking for a moment, Xu Fei decided not to dwell on this issue anymore.
He looked at Bestav and asked strangely: "Can't that country be mentioned?"
"At least not in public."
Bestav waved his hands repeatedly, and Natalya also shook her head vigorously.
"Why?"
Xu Fei frowned and asked, was the Sigurd Empire so taboo two thousand years ago?
Bestav looked around a few times, but there happened to be no one in this area.
Setting up a soundproof magic circle would attract attention, so I decided to lower my voice and speak.
"Little brother, you are not allowed to talk openly about the country that dares to disobey the gods and host the Evil Dragon King. Especially as a member of the royal family, it is easy for others to catch you."
"The orcs have sensitive hearing and are very poor. They will probably sell what you said to information dealers for a few gold coins."
"A shrewd intelligence peddler will tell you or the enemies of your relatives and friends about this matter in exchange for a reward."
"Enemies of me or my friends and family?"
Xu Fei was suspicious for a moment, and then understood the meaning within a few seconds.
His current identity is the prince, and he is the younger brother of Varga, the first heir to the August Empire.
If someone with an intention wants to create public opinion to smear Varga, then his unintentional conversation today will be exaggerated and exploited.
Sigh... Being a member of the royal family is such a troublesome position. You have to be careful about what you say...
Xu Fei sighed softly and asked tentatively in a low voice: "Do people really think that is an evil dragon?"
"Little brother, it doesn't matter how the world thinks it is. The oracle must say it is. Because the oracle is not only the word of the gods, it can also become a sharp knife in the hands of those who are willing."
Bestav smiled meaningfully.
