Chapter 203 Heroes of the Empire
If you exclude the overseas islands, the terrain of the mainland looks like a fat cross.
The Lion Empire is located in the center of the cross, and the end of the cross is Silvermoon Court. If they are arranged vertically, they are Emerald Dream Forest, Lion Empire, Golden Kingdom, Alchemy City and Silvermoon Court. If they are arranged horizontally, they are the Tiefling Kingdom of Unholy Song, Lion Empire and the Orcs' Mountain Kingdom.
Ryan borders four countries, three of which are foreign, and the remaining one, Cuimeng Youlin, has a different faith, so it is not wrong to say that it is surrounded by enemies. However, Ryan relied on national strength to suppress the people of these four regions.
It is not surprising that Ryan went to war with the orcs. Even a desolate place like the desert has conflicts with Ryan. It would be strange that a noisy and extremely warlike race like the orcs had no conflicts with Ryan.
In fact, in the past hundred years, Llane and the orcs have had small-scale wars. The orcs have suffered losses most of the time, but they have been able to hold on thanks to the rugged mountainous terrain.
The mountains here are like spears stuck upside down in the earth, and it is almost impossible to find a normal road. Only mountain beastmen who have evolved to the level of monkeys can live freely here.
Ryan suddenly launched a raid on the Orc Kingdom, which was unexpected by everyone.
Because apart from economic strength, the Orc Kingdom's combat power should be the strongest except for Ryan. In other kingdoms, the statement of "everyone is a soldier" is an exaggeration, but in the Orc Kingdom, it is a normal description.
Any orc over ten years old is stronger than human militia. They are naturally strong and brave, and can become qualified warriors with a little training. In this environment, there is no such thing as a fake legend in the Orc Kingdom.
And they won't talk to you about chivalry or one-on-one duels. They usually rush forward in a rush, and they will not hesitate to attack ordinary soldiers. Your paladins of Lion are very powerful, but not all of them can be that powerful. When the legend takes action, it kills a large number of them at a time, which makes you Lion people feel heartbroken.
In previous wars, these powerful orcs knew that they could not defeat the paladins, so they focused on killing the smaller soldiers, which once caused huge casualties. In the end, a force of a thousand paladins and auxiliary soldiers was killed, leaving only the general leading the team.
This is a shame for the Lion Empire, but as long as they enter the mountains, they will be unable to resist those elusive orc warriors.
Therefore, this time the Lion people did not go out with a large army, but were led by the Silver Moon Knight, who only brought thirty people with him, ten of whom were legends, and the rest were high-level paladins or priests of light standing on the threshold of legend.
Without the burden of miscellaneous soldiers, the team moved very quickly. Before the orcs could react, the Silver Moon Knights launched their first attack.
The Fang City is located at the border between the two countries. It is the only way to enter the mountains. It is like a wild boar's tusk, bending and pointing straight to the sky.
Even if you can fly, you have to fly over the Fang City, because other places are covered with thunderclouds all year round, just like the Golden Desert, which is a weather wonder created by a legendary wizard who was bored using the world weaving technique.
The orcs had originally taken a fancy to this natural barrier, and spent many years turning this range of thundercloud-covered mountains into their own territory.
The Fang City is the only entrance to the mountains. Before this steep mountain wall, the Ryan people had sacrificed countless lives, but in the end they were unable to break through the city.
This time, the Fang City only lasted half an hour.
A dazzling sword light bigger than a mountain fell from the sky, like the moonlight pouring down. The fang pointing to the sky was split in half, the city gate was broken, and all the defense facilities in the city were destroyed by 70%. Those Lion people who shouted the Holy Light rushed into the broken city gate, and all the orcs who refused to surrender were purified by the Holy Light.
There were originally two legends in the city, but as soon as these two powerful orc warriors appeared, the terrifying sword light appeared again, killing one of them with one sword. His huge axe as big as a door panel, his heavy armor and his body as strong as steel could not block the dazzling sword light, and he was cut in half vertically.
The second orc legend saw his companions die, and was filled with fear and anger. The strong emotions stimulated him and made him go into a violent state. The orc's body swelled up like a balloon, turning into a huge monster four or five meters tall, ready to avenge his companions.
But before he could find the owner of the sword light, several holy warriors surrounded him.
The Supreme Slash, the Supreme Slash, and the Supreme Slash!
The orc only held on for a few minutes before being chopped into pieces by the long sword covered in holy light.
The battle happened too quickly. The orcish troops didn't have time to assemble, and the warlock group that was supposed to provide assistance to the legends didn't even have time to react before the battle was almost over.
The most crucial thing in the entire battle was the two sword lights of the Silver Moon Knight.
One sword broke the city, one sword killed the enemy, and most of the Fang City was destroyed.
Although the remaining orcs were numerous, they became a mess without their leader. After several legendary paladins charged into the city, the orcs completely collapsed and began to flee in all directions.
Including the final finishing touch, the battle lasted less than an hour, and the Fang fell into the hands of the Ryan people.
The next step was to build a temporary teleportation array, and a group of Ryan troops that had been prepared long ago were teleported in one after another. The first batch of people who were teleported in were all spellcasters, and the teleportation array began to expand and reinforce, and then teleport again.
The Ryan people used a very expensive method to transport three thousand people in one day, and the cost was much higher than fighting a conventional war involving tens of thousands of people.
But the effect of spending money was that one day later, this Fang City became Ryan's territory.
With a large number of spellcasters, the broken city was quickly repaired, and then various defensive magics began to be deployed to defend the city more tightly than before.
On the day after the fall of Fang City, the orcs began to gather to retake this key gateway city.
The assembled orcs are extremely powerful, especially their group of warlocks. When they cast spells together, they can summon huge fireballs that can destroy the world. It is not surprising that they can destroy a city with one blow.
However, before the orc army approached the city, Llane sent out their legendary paladins, and each of them carried a time-stopping scroll worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
First he would lurk nearby using advanced invisibility, and then when the orc army appeared, he would just throw the scroll.
These paladins threw the scrolls of time stillness into cannonballs, which flew hundreds of meters and landed in the orc army.
This is really using one's own strength to hurt others. After several scrolls of time stopping were thrown out, 99% of the orcs were frozen in the barrier and became lambs to be slaughtered.
The few powerful orcs who were immune to the time-stopping effect received special care from the Lion's people. This sneak attack killed an orc legend and severely injured two other legends.
What followed was a one-sided massacre. The Dawn of Light of the Priest of Light exploded a large area, and the orcs fell down like wheat being cut.
A surprise attack and an ambush put the battle into a virtuous cycle.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The Fang City became Ryan's transit station, and a large number of troops were sent here. They even began to transform the terrain, filling those steep ravines with magic and turning the rugged roads into smooth ones.
Ryan's strong men did not rest either. They used the Fang City as their base and fought everywhere like flowers blooming.
The natural dangers of the terrain can be ignored for the legendary strongmen, especially the Silver Moon Knight. After the war started, he only attacked eight times, five cities were destroyed, and three orc legends died in his hands.
In ten days, five legends died in the Orc Kingdom. This number was so terrifying that the fearless orcs chose to shrink their defenses and dared not take the initiative to attack and take back their city.
After reading the description of the withered rose, Amber Xiu felt a sense of fear and could not help but reply: [This old man's strength is a bit exaggerated. He is about to die, so why is he so powerful? ! ]
One sword cut through a city, one sword killed a legend. If this old man was thirty years younger, other countries would have no chance of fighting and would just surrender.
He had cheated the Silver Moon Knight out of tens of millions. If the Silver Moon Knight had been willing to become an oathbreaker and give him a sword, the consequences would have been disastrous.
[Dead Rose: He is indeed dying. I can feel that he is not far from death. Perhaps because of this, Ryan let him raid the Orc Kingdom in the last stage of his life. This is their last enemy. As long as this trouble is solved, Ryan will go from being surrounded by enemies to only having the Tiefling as the enemy. Emerald Dream Forest will never take the initiative to send troops.]
Amberxiu agreed with what the Withered Rose said. The druid would never take the initiative to provoke Lion, and most of the time he was relying on the dream barrier to act like a turtle.
As a result, the situation of the Ryan Empire changed and became much safer.
Amber was well aware that this was Ryan preparing for the next big change. The Lord of Dawn must have given them a heads-up to let them resolve these potential threats in advance so that they could fully respond to the major events that could bring about the fall of the gods.
Amber Xiu asked again: [Ms. Rose, have you been in the Mountain Kingdom these days? ]
[Dead Rose: Yes, when I learned about Ryan's troop movement, I had already come to the orcs' territory through the underground tunnel. Thanks to Ryan's invasion, I gained a lot. Three legendary orc corpses and a legendary soul. I plan to make a legendary undead with these things, but I need your help.]
[Ultraman Tiga: Do you want to transform the soul of that orc? ]
[Dead Rose: That's right, although this orc failed to ascend to the kingdom of God, his will is very firm. Using conventional means to modify it will easily cause irreversible damage. You are good at transforming souls, so you should be able to help me solve this problem, right? ]
Amber hesitated for a moment, then replied: [You can try, but there is no guarantee of 100% success. ]
The soul is a very fragile thing, and the transformation requires the other party's full consent to ensure success. Amber Xiu did not dare to guarantee how much confidence he had, but he thought that for such a difficult task, the Withered Rose would be willing to spend money.
After finishing the business talk, Amber Xiu was concerned about the situation of the Orc Kingdom. According to Ryan's current momentum, the Orc Kingdom would be destroyed within a month. [Ultraman Tiga: Ms. Rose, how long do you think the Orcs can hold out?]
[Dead Rose: I don't know. It depends on how many days the old man can live. Ryan's attack rhythm has slowed down. In my opinion, Silver Moon Knight should be dying soon.]
