Volume 1 Chapter 117 The Actions of the Selby Army

victory mountain.

The dim lantern stays in the long night, the bonfire casts a bright red moon.

Fifty thousand troops had already assembled on Victory Hill, where they had simply built a stove and lit a fire to cook.

However, the Selby Territory is the same as all the territories in Fort Origi, that is - lack of food and money.

The soldiers gathered together, wearing hard armor, but in the steaming pot, there was porridge, with only a little green dotted in the white. The green was the wild vegetables picked by the soldiers along the way.

In the soldiers' hands were hard black bread.

Unlike the wealthy Kingdom of Clay, for the common people of Fort Origi, being able to eat black bread is a very happy thing.

However, those soldiers were still laughing and talking happily. No matter how difficult life was, there was always hope.

In the long night of lights, the soldiers spoke quietly, but there was a lot of quietness, and it did seem a bit noisy.

At the highest point of Victory Mountain, there is a simple tent.

That is where the Lord of Selby, Archduke Garcia, who is also the supreme commander of the defense war against humans, is located.

A group of officers sat together. In the middle of them was a stove made of stones. On the stove was a pot of porridge. But what was better for them was that there was also some meat of hunted animals in the pot, but it seemed a little scarce.

"My lord, you didn't even know to leave more meat. You only cut off a piece of meat and distributed the whole wild boar to the soldiers! I heard that you came here to eat after killing a wild boar. Who knew that you would treat us like this?" An officer took the wooden bowl handed over by Garcia and teased.

"If you want to eat wild boar, go hunt it yourself." Garcia rolled his eyes.

"That's right. If you want to eat meat, go hunting. Don't you feel ashamed of rubbing against it all the time?" Another officer glared at the shameless guy.

It seemed that Garcia got along very well with the officers.

A group of officers finished a simple meal amidst laughter and joy.

As you can see, they also eat black bread.

After finishing a pot of porridge, water was added to the pot and the boiling sound continued.

Not feeling full, the officers and Garcia fell silent.

"Alas, after this war, I don't know if the friendly relationship between our Fort Origi and the Kingdom of Claire can be maintained. If not, our food supply will become a big problem." Garcia sighed, breaking the silence and said, "The Kingdom of Claire is really crazy. Even if they can defeat our Fort Origi, have they forgotten that it was our Fort Origi that stood in front of them and protected them from the orcs of the Igoria Prairie?"

"Mr. No. 1 suddenly appeared, and his reputation has spread all over the continent." An officer frowned. "It's hard to imagine that such a person would add insult to injury when we are facing an orc attack in Fort Origi."

"No, this is the best time to attack, because in this war, other territories have sent troops to the Fort Origi front. So we in Selby can't get any help. This is war. There is no such thing as kicking someone when they are down. There is only victory or defeat."

Garcia's eyes flashed with brilliance: "This war is the first large-scale war in the human kingdom after so many years of silence. The battle behind the scenes must be more terrible than the bloody war we are fighting on the battlefield."

Suddenly, Garcia laughed: "However, if we can defeat Mr. No. 1, the Kingdom of Clay will definitely be attacked by those ambitious lords of the Kingdom of Harrison! Add to that the incompetent King of the Kingdom of Clay, and we may also be able to seize the territory of the Kingdom of Clay!"

The officers' eyes lit up when they heard this.

Indeed, it is possible!

Then, Garcia asked a military officer, "What is the current situation of the army in the Land of Grace?"

The officer replied: "It is still two days away from our Victory Mountain. They are marching very steadily. It seems that the Arcanist and the Mage Tribe are well prepared for the war. Maybe they have already planned to attack human society. Because when they were marching, they didn't look like they were just starting out. This is not good news for us."

"Moreover, the Arcane Tribe and the Magic Tribe have a large number of puppet giants and puppets, as well as magical items that our intelligence agencies cannot reach, so we must be more vigilant."

"They are currently resting near Mount Candas. There is no unusual movement."

Garcia heard this and nodded calmly.

Then he asked another officer, "How is our frontline deployment going?"

The officer replied, "We are deploying. Mamuhashi Mountain has set up magic traps at the place where we must pass to advance to the Land of Grace. There is a cliff there, which is a perfect place for a sneak attack. Ahead is the forest. I have sent people to clear the trees in the forest. We can hide in the forest at any time and be ready for a sneak attack."

"very good."

Seeing the calm looks of his subordinates, Garcia nodded.

Everything is ready, all that's left is for those guys from God's Land who dare to invade Selby's territory to come and give them a good beating!

At this moment, an officer in a blue cloak ran into the tent in a hurry, sweating profusely and his face was a little pale.

He shouted, his voice panting, but he did not dare to pause for a moment: "It's bad! My Lord, the first fortress of our Selby main city has been attacked. According to intelligence, the dwarves and goblins from the Land of God's Grace fell from the sky. In just twenty minutes, the fortress was captured! They are still moving forward and are currently attacking the second fortress! It won't be long before they attack our Selby main city!"

What? ! !

The officers' eyes widened suddenly.

Dwarves and goblins from God's Grace falling from the sky?

Was there an ambush from behind?

The officers secretly thought that this was not good. Although they didn’t know how the Land of Grace did it, this meant that they had been breached!

Then their supplies will be cut off, and if this news gets out, the military will definitely be in chaos!

The officers all looked at Archduke Garcia.

Garcia frowned and said coldly: "This news cannot be spread!"

He stood up and immediately began to command: "The war has already started. It is too late for us to return now. The people from the Land of Grace who fell from the sky are undoubtedly the Dragon Riders of the Smiling Man. They will definitely not bring too many soldiers with them."

"Pass on my order. The entire army must prepare immediately, take all the food, and march to the Land of God's Grace overnight! Leave a group of soldiers behind at Victory Hill to pass on the order to the nobles who have come to support. When they gather more than 20,000 people at Victory Hill, they will return to support the main city of Selby!"

"Now, take action!"

Upon hearing this, the officers quickly stood up, nodded in agreement, and ran out of the tent.

When there was no one in the tent, Garcia slowly sat back to his original seat.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked in the direction of Selby's main city, and said coldly: "It seems that we have encountered a formidable enemy. The legendary Mr. No. 1 is a worthy opponent."
