Tongan City, this important town on the northwest border of the human race, will once again face the test of war.
The whole city is in a tense atmosphere before the war. The original residents and merchants in the city have already evacuated, but the city has not become deserted.
Except for the imperial army sent by the Dynasty of Light, which did not arrive because the journey was too long, the city guards and noble private armies drawn from various places, the mixed army drawn from the Iron Flow, Blazing Fire, and Guards, and the support army from the Locke Kingdom and the Ba does Kingdom have all arrived in Tongan City one after another.
Tongan City has gathered nearly 600,000 elite troops from various human countries at once. A large amount of food and military supplies are continuously transported into Tongan City from the inland areas in the rear. Every day, the convoys transporting supplies to the city are lined up like long queues. The original houses and shops have been converted into temporary soldier barracks. Teams of soldiers walked through the streets, and the originally large city seemed a bit crowded.
At this time, the commanders and deputy commanders of various legions gathered in the central army tent, and Prince Hobbes was the commander of the human coalition army.
Prince Hobbes was wearing yellow soft leather armor, with white beard and hair, but his face was ruddy, his eyes were bright, and his pair of white sword-like eyebrows were intimidating without anger.
Hobbes coughed lightly and said loudly: "Generals, the orc army has invaded, and the war between humans and orcs has started again. We soldiers are responsible for defending the empire's territory and the safety of the people. We must not lose this battle! If we win, we will drive the orcs back to the wilderness, and our human border will have another ten years of peace; if we lose, the thousands of miles of fertile land and tens of thousands of people behind us will be destroyed by the orcs!"
Prince Hobbes swept his eyes across the faces of the people in the tent, one by one, and continued: "My 600,000 human warriors come from various legions. The next battle must be strictly enforced. Everyone must fight bravely and compete for the first place. Those who disobey military orders, disobey dispatches, are afraid to move forward, and escape in battle will all be killed without mercy!"
"Yes, I am willing to obey the commander's dispatch." Several legion commanders stood up and sang in unison.
From this moment on, the human war machine began to operate at full capacity!
If the human army is a war machine assembled from parts, then the orc army is a pack of hungry wolves gathered together.
Led by the leader of the pack, Lion Elliot, the "wolf pack" marched forward step by step. In just half a month, 300,000 orc troops were pushed outside Tongan City. Together with the 50,000 defeated orc troops that invaded before, a total of 350,000 orc troops were stockpiled outside Tongan City.
There were 10,000 people, and the 350,000 orcs set up camps in the five miles in front of Tongan City, so dense that you could not see the end at a glance.
Teams of orc cavalry from various tribes patrolled back and forth in the camp, and the huge war beasts made huge roars from time to time, which broke through the clouds and drifted to the top of Tongan City with the wind.
This time, the orcs did not adopt the strategy of besieging the city on three sides, but concentrated their forces to have a decisive battle with the human race under Tongan City.
Red Rock City is like a nail nailed on the throat of the human border connecting the inland areas. As long as this nail is pulled out, the vast and rich inland areas of the human race will completely open their arms to the orcs.
Elliot looked at the tall Red Rock City in front of him in a trance. Twenty years ago, he led his army to fight here, but he returned in defeat that time. Unexpectedly, he led his troops back again twenty years later. Elliot clenched his fists tightly. This time he must bloodbath Red Rock City and completely pull out this nail.
"Your Majesty, all the legions have been prepared and are waiting for your order to attack at any time." Chili behind the Lion King stepped forward and asked for instructions.
Elliot smiled deeply, "Wait a minute, the news of the Blood Flame Wolf has not been transmitted yet."
At the Frost Thunder Legion's garrison, the gate of the legion camp was wide open, and the guards in bright helmets and armor were standing on both sides with swords and guns.
Grand Duke Palmer, fully armored, personally led the generals of the army out of the camp to greet them.
A huge silver cavalry group, winding like a silver dragon, gradually approached from afar. It was the Knights of Light of the Church.
The Church of Light has three major knight groups in the Kingdom of Isaac, namely, the Knights of Light, the Guardians, and the Punishers, each with 30,000 cavalry groups. On the surface, the armed forces of the Church are much different from the number of the Kingdom's army, and the total number of people is not as much as a field army of the Kingdom.
However, the individual combat power of the Knights of the Church is far stronger than that of the Kingdom's army. The minimum selection criteria for the Knights of the Church are level three warriors, while the warriors of the Kingdom's field armies are generally level two warriors, and level three is already the level of a squad leader. Moreover, the weapons and equipment of the Knights of the Church are much stronger than those of the field armies.
Of the three major night groups of the Church of Light, the real combat power of each knight group is equivalent to a field army of the Kingdom.
The Silver Cavalry had already stopped two miles away from the Knights of Light's camp, and only the first few continued to gallop towards the camp.
Grand Duke Palmer smiled, took two steps forward, and said loudly: "Captain Vance personally led the army here. It's been hard all the way. I'm sorry for not welcoming you!"
The tall knight in the front did not dismount, and stood in front of Grand Duke Palmer in a flash, "Thank you for welcoming me in person. I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still as elegant as ever!"
Grand Duke Palmer laughed and said, "Captain Vance is joking. You are in your prime now, and I am already in my twilight years."
"I came here specially to bring greetings from Archbishop Solis. The Archbishop said that under the light of the God of Light, the Grand Duke will definitely be able to cross the extreme realm of warriors!"
Grand Duke Palmer laughed again and said, "With the Archbishop's good words, I hope the grace of the God of Light can be bestowed on me! I have prepared a banquet in the camp, let's go to the camp to have a chat." After that, he grabbed Vance's wrist and walked hand in hand to the central army tent.
From the words and deeds of the two people, it can be seen that Grand Duke Palmer has a close relationship with the church.
The human theocracy and kingship are separated in the Blander continent. The Knights of Light and the Frost Thunder Legion belong to the church and the king, respectively. Vance and Palmer are of the same rank. Palmer does not need to lead all the high-ranking officers in the army to greet them outside the barracks.
By doing so, Grand Duke Palmer naturally gave enough face to the Church of Light and Captain Vance. Except in the Frost Thunder Legion, the Knights of the Church do not receive such treatment in any legion of the kingdom. If they go to the Snow Wind Legion, I am afraid that Prince Hobbs will not even meet them, and at most let Into come forward to deal with them.
Since the battle in the Sighing Canyon twelve years ago, many people in the kingdom have complained about Grand Duke Palmer, saying that he is an old fox who bets on both His Majesty Stacey and Archbishop Solis.
Dino was naturally among the generals who went out with the Grand Duke to greet him. Looking at the backs of Grand Duke Palmer and Captain Vance walking hand in hand towards the tent, Xinuo couldn't help but frown...
