The 6th-tier dwarven butcher leader, with his soldiers fighting desperately across the battle lines, wielded a heavy, gold-inlaid axe and slashed at Gregory.

"I absolutely cannot withdraw from the battle until the lord issues a retreat order!"

Gregory blocked the attack, but was sent flying by the immense force...

The figure transformed into a beetle once more...

"die!"

The butcher leader swung his blade, but in an instant, Gregory transformed into a beetle, unfurling countless thin, cicada-wing-like wings, dodging the attack and flying into the air.

He crashed into the ranks of the Tier 3 dwarven shield guards like a cannonball, killing more than a dozen people...

"At this rate, the right wing will collapse... What should we do?"

——————

The Tier 4 Ironbreaker Warriors are suffering a complete rout. On the left flank, Su Yue has amassed a large force, searching for weak points on the map to launch an attack. Each different dwarven unit type has a connecting point, and even the most fortified fortress needs to be filled along a 16-kilometer-long battle line.

These lines of defense are positions that can be invaded and infiltrated, which gave rise to the term "line-filling soldiers"!

Many low-ranking dwarven troops are stationed in these vulnerable positions to prevent enemy breakthroughs, and even if a breakthrough occurs, they can buy time for reinforcements!

Abbott Boddu watched in shock as the left wing was breached and the attack penetrated...

The incredibly brave young man held the imperial noble's longsword.

It's like entering an empty place!

The trenches on the left flank collapsed layer by layer, and the low-ranking troops used to fill the gaps all raised white flags and fled in disarray!

"The Imperial Family?!"

Seeing the nobleman's movements, those familiar sword gestures, Abbott Bodu immediately requested that General Redhammer and Christopher Nick provide support for the left flank.

"Impossible! The strength of the Empire's infantry shouldn't be this terrifying!!"

"The troops are in retreat!"

A mid-level musketeer officer from the Dwarven Empire watched in horror as they sliced ​​through their lines like tofu. A group of men without horses, clearly a Tier 4 Imperial cavalry unit, were slaughtering and dismembering the 1200+ Tier 4 and Tier 3 mixed Dwarven force! They quickly made overwhelming progress.

The morale of many dwarves collapsed, and they fled towards the trenches behind them...

The high outpost kept spewing flames from the musketeers, but the enemy's morale showed no signs of declining...

A mid-ranking dwarf officer stood in the tower and roared, "Attack! Attack! Supervising officers, shoot these deserters who have retreated without permission..."

However, as the Imperial archers reloaded, despite firing upwards, the frontline detachment still crumbled. A dwarf officer fell in the trench, and the massive mud mixed with rainwater was then poured into the lines by the Imperial armored Reik Guards and dismounted cavalry...

"Their power is wrong!"

"His strength is also off..."

"How could Rick's Guards, both being Tier 5 units, possibly completely overwhelm our dwarven Tier 5 Butchers??"

Loire Bragg, the European player, stared in shock at the scene depicting the left flank of the dwarven fortress attack, where grey-black griffins were harassing the fortress's watchtower area that they were responsible for defending.

However, the bunkers and trenches at the front were being pushed back step by step...

"The right flank has been breached, but the left flank still holds the advantage. However, the enemy's lower-ranking troops have suffered heavy casualties but have not collapsed!"

"This is an iron army!!"

A mid-ranking dwarf officer said with certainty…

"From above, you can see many things that are not visible from below," the dwarf officer said. "The left flank outpost is about to be breached... Are the oil barrels and rolling stones ready?"

This was, after all, a siege, and their dwarven empire could not possibly fail.

The northern fortress at our feet alone is enough to achieve a 1:5 casualty ratio. Moreover, their troop strength, including their reserves, is no less than the five thousand men in front of us, and their troops are also extremely dispersed.

"You think you can conquer a city with just 5,000 men? That's wishful thinking!"

"Get down!!"

"Griffin!"

A powerful, jet-black griffin with an extremely long wingspan, its body riddled with dwarven steel arrows, resembled a Canaanite war banner fluttering in the wind. "Boom!!"

Sand and rocks rained down, and Loire Bragg was covered in dust. When the sound of the bombing finally cleared his ears and he regained his sight, he found the fortress and the dwarven mid-ranking officers crushed into a bloody pulp in the ruins.

"assault!!!!"

"attack!!"

Huntington raised his longsword high, his body shrouded in smoke and dust, his face covered in mud! But his upright figure and posture, coupled with the "Soldier King" attribute that boosted his attack power by 35%, caused the morale of his troops to rise to a terrifying level, giving the illusion of an emperor personally leading an expedition, a crown prince, or a great nobleman personally leading an expedition.

"kill!!"

Zhou Zhuo, who is six kilometers away from the battle line, and the players are also leading their troops to fight against the dwarf lords of Europe!

"We must wipe out these European guys."

"Dragon Kingdom monkey, die!!"

As Eric Steiner's blackbeard billowed in the trenches, he was horrified to discover that the Dragon Kingdom players were far stronger than them... As the Chosen Ones, they had a numerical advantage, but in terms of unit quality, they were completely outmatched.

"The Fifth-Rank Halganxi Executioner!!!"

"The enemy has Tier 5 high-tier units!!"

"He's a top player on the leaderboard!"

Zhou Zhuo's Tier 5 Halganxi Executioner appeared in the player battle group as if it were empty land... There was no enemy to fight him, it was like cutting melons and vegetables. The enemy's cannon fire and arrows hit him without any pain or itch. The black armor was mixed with the aura of an extremely elite Tier 5 unit.

This made Zhou Zhi feel extremely happy.

"The dwarves' morale is about to collapse, wipe them out..."

Eliz laughed.

When a future war breaks out, she must stay by Su Yue's side and witness more possibilities.

Lord's Log: "Gregory is in a state of fierce fighting, and the troops have suffered heavy losses. Casualties: 479."

Lord's Log: "Huntington has triggered the 'Exhilaration,' 'Hunting,' and 'Heroic' status effects. All troops under his command gain +20% Strength, +15% Attack Efficiency, and +10 Morale!"

"Have the European players suffered another defeat?"

Su Yue stared intently at the streaks of red light before him and asked, "Europa, where is the enemy's weakness?"

The collapse of the lower-ranking units on the right wing was within his expectations and acceptable range.

He has now captured several bridgeheads in front of the northern fortress.

To be precise, they are three bridgeheads.

One in the middle.

The two small fortresses on the left serve as the foundation!

Then we can launch an uphill attack on the front walls of the northern fortress...

Europa said, "Master, we have suffered quite a few casualties!"

Su Yue looked at his military log. The total strength of the force had been reduced to 4,142. In such a short time, so many had been wiped out? The cruelty of war was terrifying...

Even with hundreds of thousands of people together, it's still a meat grinder every day. This is under the premise that Su Yue has an indomitable spirit, highly elite armor, high organization and morale, and proper command.

If it were a peasant army, its collapse would likely lead to a one-sided massacre!

"As long as they don't collapse, everything is fine. The most urgent task now is to break through the city walls as soon as possible and get into their territory... to close the gap in advantage created by this uphill attack."

If the advantage of attacking from a higher position to a lower position is a 30% increase in lethality, then considering oil, fallen stones and wooden sticks, and various defensive facilities, the casualty ratio would be even higher, and it is even possible that the threat exceeds 50%.

Therefore, Su Yue must overcome this obstacle as soon as possible.

Otherwise, his casualty count will continue to rise!

"It's already a case of fighting outnumbered... and it's a siege, haha..."

"Europa!"

"exist."

"It's our turn to lead the charge."

"clear."

Sleipnir raised his horse's hooves. Even in a siege, his terrifying Tier 3 monster life was like walking on flat ground. Not to mention Nightmare's "Satiation" skill, which enhanced his control. The moment a rock touched his horse's hooves, it would melt and create a crater.

Then he firmly embedded the horseshoes into the rock surface, and Su Yue even suspected that Sleipnir could climb the city wall directly.

"charge!!!"

In a siege, forget about flanking maneuvers and pincer attacks; the key now is a frontal assault.

Su Yue needs to move the attack platform to the city wall immediately, otherwise the losses in this battle will reach a point that he cannot accept.

"It's him, the White Horse Lord!?"

"boom!!!"

Sleipnir's charge sent the dwarven Tier 3 warhammer soldiers at the bridgehead flying...

"Arachnid, activate my special ability."

In general, when the Su and Yue people fought each other, they almost never used the special properties of the artifact Arachnid to avoid revealing their trump cards.

"Slow: -5 enemy creature speed."

Sadness: -3 enemy creature morale.

Life Steal: Friendly units absorb 10% of their life force!

In an instant, the enemy dwarves slowed down and their morale plummeted, a cold, damp, and gloomy mood enveloping their hearts... On the contrary, Su Yue's morale soared because of the lord's personal command.

At that moment, a high-ranking dwarf officer appeared in front of Su Yue.

"The White Horse Lord? The leader of Canaan?"

Locke Horom, wielding a massive hammer, looked at Su Yue with a half-smile. Beside him, over 200 dwarven heavy crossbowmen and over 100 dwarven white wolf cavalrymen launched a fierce surprise attack on him from the mountainside.

Beside Su Yue were 116 Tier 4 Black Ark Pirates, 10 Tier 5 Halgonsi Executioners, 200+ Tier 3 Imperial Swordsmen, 24 Tier 4 Imperial Halberdiers, and a mixed force of ratmen and dwarves.

They engaged in fierce combat with the dwarf army!

"Europa!"

"Crush them!!"

Su Yue charged forward on his white horse, while the dwarf leader, looking crazed, wielded a giant hammer and unleashed a whistling sound as he charged toward Europa!

But the next moment, before he could even react, his head was thrown off!

His body was pierced in two by an immense force.

Blood splattered all over Su Yue's body.

Su Yue laughed: "Idiot."

"Sergeant Major Locke Holom has been killed in action!!"

"How is that possible?"

The morale of the dwarf troops plummeted rapidly after losing their commander. Su Yue paused again for a moment, and the whistling sound of catapults came crashing down from afar!

"boom!"

The giant rock crumbled, and the corpses of forty dwarf soldiers flew everywhere.

Su Yue felt the earth shake and the mountains trembled for a while. He gripped the reins tightly and broke through the White Flag area where the morale of the dwarves had collapsed.

Abbott Bodu stared in awe at the scene of the White Horse Lord leading his troops below, and said, "They have already reached the foot of the castle!"

"..."

"Didn't the torrential rain and silt stop him?"

The combined might of the white horsemen, the Tier 6 Imperial Artillery, and the Tier 5 Imperial Gunners created an incredibly terrifying aura and sense of oppression. All the dwarven troops that approached the central courtyard were routed and fled.

"The frontal attack has been breached! His strength is incredible..."

"And it seems he's directing ballistics and high-ranking imperial artillery to attack the front lines. Isn't he afraid of being accidentally hit?"

In fact, an accidental injury has already occurred.

Blood was dripping from Su Yue's right arm, but a healing spell was quickly applied to his side, and the wound healed extremely fast.

One after another, imperial soldiers began scaling the city walls. Ladders were being carried from the front-line fortresses, and the gears of catapults were turning, slowly moving forward...

Dark clouds and gloomy rain made the ground sticky and slippery.

Su Yue's hair was plastered to his face, and Europa's profile was still extremely beautiful in the rain. He looked up and saw the northern fortress walls, which were 30 to 40 meters high and made of solid stone bricks. This structure had withstood the attacks of Su Yue's catapults and artillery, only creating craters from the shells.

Corpses fell from the heights every now and then, and the Imperial soldiers, like dumplings being dropped into boiling water, frantically rushed towards the siege ladders above...

Su Yue wiped away the raindrops and smiled:

"Climbing the city wall is probably not realistic; the battle casualty ratio and the ratio of casualties are too high."

"clear."

Su Yue touched Europa's exquisite profile. No one knew how terrifying the power this ninth-order archangel possessed. He always had two trump cards that he rarely used. The reason he dared to directly confront the dwarf fortress was naturally because he was confident of victory.

Subordinate to the ninth-order archangels and the ninth-order great demons.

That's his strongest trump card.

When the Divine Army's subordinates were unable to achieve any results, unable to win with conventional forces, and even when their losses continued to increase, Su Yue was about to use his trump card. "Next month, I can recruit an S-rank subordinate... I wonder what rank that is?"

"What?"

"A high-level spellcaster!!!!!"

A vast expanse of holy, pure white light suddenly erupted behind Europa, "Order - Atomic Oscillation".

"boom!!!!"

The scorching white light engulfed Su Yue's entire vision, like a vast white lake, bombarding the sturdy walls of the northern fortress. "A thunderous, ear-piercing sound erupted," and countless dwarves died. A flood of information notifications came from the lord's log, like a screen being filled with messages.

Before Su Yue's eyes, the seemingly indestructible city walls and the gates of the dwarven northern fortress appeared as if they had been shattered and melted by a divine force at the atomic and molecular level.

A sacred, pure white light was interspersed with a terrifying, crimson ninth-tier magical pillar.

It blasted right through the castle gate in front of them!

"Canaanite soldiers, attack!"

Abbott Bodu exclaimed in shock, "The city defenses have been breached?"

General "Red Hammer" Podun immediately mobilized his troops and said, "Pull up the breach!"

"My lord, three dwarf armies have fled."

"We absolutely cannot allow Canaan to occupy the dwarves' northern fortress. This is a vital source of resources for us, absolutely not... I'd rather die amidst piles of corpses..."

The corpses piled up like small mountains, growing ever higher.

Su Yue laughed as Sleipnir's iron hooves trampled the Dwarven Empire's defenders... Now, it was time for a frontal assault.

The city's defensive cannons and the soldiers on the city walls have all entered into a state of 'equal' relations, while Su Yue, as an 'unequal' entity, is most fond of 'equal' relations!

On the right flank, the dwarven butcher leader, Porter Ruger, had already broken into the right flank forces. The flying insect lord, Gregory, had been avoiding him. However, he suddenly received a message: "My lord, the central city gate has been breached. Lord Christopher Nick requests that you lead the elite Tier 5 dwarven butcher forces to immediately reinforce the city and launch a rear attack on the Canaanite territory."

“Their right flank hasn’t collapsed yet, so we can’t launch a rear attack… If we attack their rear now, the Canaanite forces on the right flank will surround us…”

How did the city gate collapse?

"A high-level spellcaster has appeared in the enemy ranks."

"High-level? How high is that?"

"..."

"It might be a ninth-tier being!!"

"Champion Spellcaster?"

What is a champion? A champion unit is the champion among all forces! It's also a special title for the strongest...

"No, no... If they had sent a champion force, we should have immediately requested reinforcements from the Empire, but all that came was a 20,000-strong Imperial force..."

And at this time.

The rain began to pour down from the sky...

Su Yue stared at the gates of the dwarven fortress, then suddenly widened his eyes in astonishment… “Europa?”

"Master?! Master?!?"

Europa stared in utter shock at Su Yue's horrified expression.

"What's wrong, Master?"

Su Yue's pupils contracted violently...

His figure suddenly fell into a deep sleep.

Sleipnir immediately caught Su Yue's falling body, and Europa held Su Yue tightly, looking extremely worried.

At the same time, Loire Bragg watched as Zhou Zhuo was about to reach him, his longsword already reflecting off his dwarf beard...

"Am I going to die?"

Zhou Zhuo burst into laughter, and it looked like he was about to kill that damned European player Loire-Brazzaville, but in an instant, his vision spun around and he fell into a state of dizziness.

He glanced at his side with the last of his eyes.

Elie not far away,

Gu Yu, Min Zhao, Sun Zhao, Bai Yue who was in charge of repairing the gun emplacement, and others all collapsed unconscious.

"What...what is this?"

Zhou Zhuo felt dizzy and fell into a coma. At the same time, all the players in the Turin world fell into a coma.

————————

When Su Yue woke up, he stared in astonishment at the dilapidated rented room in front of him.

"This...this is?!"

"Reality?"
