Prince Herbert finally managed to roughly calculate the number of casualties.
Although he had expected this war to result in heavy casualties, he still found it hard to believe when the casualty reports appeared before his eyes.
Since the attack on the western border of the Dwarf Kingdom, the total number of knights and royal legions that have rushed to support is nearly 190,000.
But now, excluding those who have sacrificed their lives and those who are missing, the number of people who survived is only over 100,000.
Such a shocking casualty ratio made Prince Herbert's hand tremble slightly as he held the casualty report.
"After all, you are too conceited." Prince Herbert smiled bitterly.
He knew in his heart that if the dragon knight had not appeared in time, even if the Dwarf Kingdom did not send more air combat forces, his side would definitely lose the war.
Then he picked up the report on the prisoners and quickly browsed through it, his eyes finally fixed on the number column: a total of more than 50,000 orcs and half-orcs.
These captives might be able to make up for some of the losses incurred in this war. After thinking for a moment, he compiled the two reports and sent them to King Charlemagne.
King Charlemagne was also troubled after receiving the report. However, he immediately convened the Royal Council to discuss how to compensate the nobles who died in the war and the knight families who suffered heavy losses.
After several days of rest and recuperation, the army was reorganized and fully supplied. Prince Herbert immediately ordered the army to march towards Cast Iron Pass.
However, Prince Herbert still had some selfish motives. He ordered the Royal First and Second Warcraft Legions to stay and escort the prisoners to the spot and wait for orders.
When the other nobles saw this, although they were full of dissatisfaction, they were afraid of Prince Herbert's majesty and no one dared to stand up and express objection.
The army had a smooth journey and successfully arrived at the Cast Iron Pass, where they joined up with the legion that had been stationed there for a long time.
One hundred thousand strong troops set up camp at the foot of Zhutie Pass, and densely packed tents were built quickly like mushrooms after rain.
After two days of intensive coordination and preparation, the logistics were ready.
Prince Herbert decisively gave the order, ordering the two sky mages to use all their strength to break the magic circle of the Cast Iron Pass, and at the same time arranged for the sky knights to be on guard at all times to prevent the opponent's sky combat force from taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
The two sky mages began to chant spells and muttered to themselves. In an instant, the magical elements in the air seemed to be summoned and gathered madly towards their hands.
In the blink of an eye, two dazzling balls of light took shape in the wizard's hands. The wizard swung his arms violently, and the balls of light seemed to tear the space apart. With tremendous force, they roared straight towards the Cast Iron Pass.
The defenders of Cast Iron Pass, who sensed the attack, also responded quickly. The two opposing sky mages immediately took action, using the power of the magic circle inside the pass to cast defensive magic.
A solid magical barrier instantly rose up, firmly blocking the attack. From then on, the two sides exchanged blows, neither giving in.
Magical elements were rampaging across the battlefield. The attacks and defenses were turning the world into a magical arena. The magical lights were rising and falling, making it a feast for the eyes.
Prince Herbert frowned as he looked at the stalemate. He thought to himself: This kind of meaningless continuation of consumption is definitely not a good idea.
The other party may be able to afford to waste time, but the resources and time of the Kingdom of Charlemagne can no longer be delayed.
We must find a way to break the deadlock as soon as possible, otherwise the situation of this war will only develop in a more unfavorable direction.
After thinking for a long time, Prince Herbert found Martin, hoping that he could send dragon knights to help.
However, Martin was not one to be ordered around by others, so he proposed to exchange his military merits for a life seed.
This seed of life is extremely precious. It can not only prolong life, but also restore appearance. Prince Herbert naturally did not dare to agree easily. After all, he could not make the decision on this matter on his own.
Prince Herbert then hurriedly reported the incident to the king. After hearing this, King Charlemagne looked calm and fell into a moment of deep thought.
Then, he slowly said to Prince Herbert, "You can agree to his request, but only if he goes all out to attack the Iron Pass and assist you in the battle. Once the battle in the west is over, I will fulfill my promise."
Prince Herbert took the order and immediately conveyed the king's intention to Martin.
After thinking for a moment, Martin nodded in agreement, but he also put forward the only condition: he would send out the dragon knight as soon as he got the seed of life.
From then on, Martin no longer cared about the war and just waited for the arrival of the seed of life.
A week later, a sky mage hurried over carrying the seeds of life.
Martin took the life seed handed to him by the Sky Mage and carefully placed it in his space ring. After completing his task, the Sky Mage did not stop for a moment and turned around and flew away.
Martin, who had obtained the Seed of Life, then warned Eric: "You can fight, but don't fight to the death. If you encounter a problem that you can't solve, don't force it."
At this time, everyone in the Dwarf Kingdom camp was still arguing fiercely.
After a difficult weighing of the pros and cons, they finally decided to urgently transfer a sky wizard from the Orc Kingdom.
After discussion, they prepared to take a risky move.
At the same time, the location of the array's center was told to the Orc Kingdom and the Orc Kingdom.
Two dwarves were sent out, and one orc and one orc were sent out. After discussing the subsequent matters, they went down to prepare.
After a few days, Prince Herbert saw that the Cast Iron Pass could not be conquered by a frontal attack, so he ordered the dragon knight Eric to fight.
