Chapter 667 Chapter 626 Battle Merits

The Duke of Tulip defeated the enemy on the eastern front and recovered the fallen eastern fortress. Subsequently, a series of small-scale battles took place on the Eastern Front. In June, humans began to rebuild the fortress. Du Wei proposed a new concept, abandoning the northern city wall and rebuilding a new line of defense with the original relatively complete southern city wall of the fortress. The humans dispatched tens of thousands of laborers to the north, and the main fortress in the central part quickly added a division of reinforcements to Du Wei. From mid-June to the end of June, in just half a month, the criminals on the north bank of the river launched six small-scale attacks.

The human army defended the river bank, and both sides paid a considerable price in casualties.The river beach was once occupied by criminals, but relying on the powerful impact of Thunder Riders, the orcs no longer had an absolute advantage in field battles.There were even a few times, under Du Wei's command, humans deliberately abandoned the river beach, let the opponent's small army cross the river, and then launched the thunder cavalry to attack the opponent's formation. During the period, the orc's wolf cavalry and thunder cavalry fought three more times, and the thunder cavalry ended in a complete victory. Of course, it must be explained that, as for the criminals, the number of wolf cavalry dispatched was limited, and the thunder cavalry maintained an advantage in number.And Luoxue didn't seem to have any plans to send more wolf riders.

It even made Du Wei wonder for a while: Where are Luoxue's wolf riders sent? !Could it be that on the Eastern Front, it has only two or three thousand wolves under its command? However, Thunder Cavalry is not completely invincible, at least the terrain of the river beach, the soil is too soft, which limits the combat effectiveness of Thunder Cavalry.Even during a battle, the Thunder Riders had already pushed back the opponent's formation, but a small group of Thunder Riders rushed over their heads and rushed to the muddy area of ​​the river beach, almost sinking into it. In the six battles, neither side invested too much troops, and the criminals mainly focused on harassment.It has to be admitted that such an approach has indeed greatly slowed down the process of humans rebuilding the fortress.

In July, the center of the war shifted to the central fortress. Because of Du Wei's victory on the Eastern Front, General Rostock, the main fortress in the central part, felt quite ashamed.Therefore, the Storm Legion in the central fortress launched a "summer offensive" in July. The Thor's Whip Legion led by Alpay, who united with the western fortress, made a side attack.The Storm Legion in the Central Fort is the main attack. Tens of thousands of human troops walked out of the city wall, and after careful preparations, they launched an offensive, once threatening the camp of criminals.

However, in the subsequent field battle, they encountered a counterattack from the main force of the orcs, and both sides suffered a lot of damage. But the result is... General Rostock's summer offensive did not achieve the expected goal. It failed to break through the opponent's camp, nor could it force the enemy to retreat. On the contrary, Alpay on the western defense line achieved a modest victory, which can be called a "miracle". Alpay's Whip of Thor's headquarters, since the war started, the Western Front has not been an area for criminal and democratic attacks, so the pressure has not been great.In this feint attack in conjunction with the summer offensive in the central part, under the order of Alpay, the Thor's Whip on the Western Front, an army of ten thousand people sneaked into the Qilima Mule Mountains, rushed in through the mountain roads, and detoured to the criminals. the rear.

That area has been occupied by the criminals, and the human sneak attack army burned down three villages and towns of the criminals along the way—these villages and towns were all built on the basis of the villages and towns that humans had abandoned.At the same time, a fire burned down the farmland of many criminals. Afterwards, under the pursuit of the blocking troops from the opponent, this ten thousand army sneaked into the deep mountains again, took the mountain road, and got rid of the opponent's siege.In the end, an ambush was set up and an orc army of more than a thousand people was successfully annihilated.

It is worth mentioning that according to the accurate information obtained later, this army of 10,000 people in the sneak attack was led by Alpay himself!As the head coach of the Western Front, he was willing to take such a risk and achieved such a victory. All of a sudden, Alpay's reputation was greatly enhanced! In August, the fighting situation fell into a temporary calm. However, in October, after a bumper harvest in the back of the criminals, they launched a fierce offensive again—this time, the main area of ​​attack was still the central part! This is an obvious thing: Although the central fortress has the strongest military strength in the empire, once the main defense of the central fortress can be broken through, the human armies in the east and west can be separated far away! !

For this attack, according to statistics, the orcs assembled a total of more than 100,000 troops and launched three fierce offensives, one of which even dispatched Behemoth Behemoths and many giant monsters. During the battle, Hussein, who was sent by Du Wei to help the battle in the central fortress, showed his might even more, beheading four giant beasts with his own hands, and during the battle, he killed a leader of the orcs. According to reliable news, the leader of the orcs killed by Hussein was a high-ranking general in the orc army-Bestin, the white rhinoceros. But that's where it ends.

After three fruitless attacks, the giant rock that angered the orcs.One of the three giants of the orcs, the holy rank powerhouse, came to the city wall in front of the central fortress alone one day at the end of August, and challenged the human saint rank powerhouse by name. As a result, in that battle, tens of thousands of soldiers from both human beings and criminals witnessed a rare "Holy Rank War" with their own eyes. The fight between the two saint-level powerhouses turned the world into a dark place, and after a whole day of fierce fighting, the two saint-rank powerhouses fought to the end, and they couldn't tell the winner.

Before Yan Yan left, he yelled in public: "Among human beings, there really is such a strong man!" However... the sentence said by the saint-level powerhouse about the sinners was later believed to be mostly fabricated by human beings in order to put money on their faces.Because...for one thing, Rock, who is an orc, is unlikely to be able to speak human language, and even if he did, humans would not be able to understand it.Secondly, with Shi Yan's irritable personality, it's unlikely that he would say such words to boost the morale of the enemy and destroy his prestige.Based on Du Wei's later guess, the orc's holy-rank strongman probably said something like "Damn it, you're ruthless".

However, being able to witness a battle of holy ranks has already dazzled tens of thousands of fighters on both sides of the battlefield. The title of Hussein, the "Holy Protector of the Country", spread throughout the mainland. At this moment, even if someone suspects that he is Hussein, the traitor of the temple... it's nothing.Because, he has become a fighting hero. In October, the criminals on the Western Front launched several retaliatory attacks, but because of Alpay's excellent command, they were resolved one by one.Alpay's reputation has once again reached a new level. For a time, an embarrassing scene formed in the northern theater of the empire: East, Central, West, three theaters.Both Duwei in the east and Alpay in the west have achieved impressive results. Duwei's glorious victory in annihilating tens of thousands of orcs and recovering the fortress is temporarily unsurpassed.And Alpay also won praise for his courage and wisdom in personally leading thousands of soldiers to sneak into the enemy's rear. But it happened to be Rostock in the middle of the country. As the nominal commander-in-chief of the northern front, so far, he has not had a single combat exploit that he can show. It seems... that he was completely robbed of the limelight by two juniors from the east and west. . It also made the main force of the Storm Legion feel ashamed. In November, on the eastern front, the criminals finally launched a large-scale attack - in Du Wei's mind, Luoxue probably did it on purpose. Because, in the past few months, the stalemate on the eastern front and Luoxue's inaction probably aroused the dissatisfaction of the orcs.In order to quell the dissatisfaction of the allies, Luoxue launched the attack this time, investing a considerable amount of force. Tens of thousands of orcs crossed the river, the sky had the help of the elves, and the dragon clan was also sent out. As a result... Du Wei actually held the fortress... the dilapidated fortress that was only half built! The situation is quite weird... At the beginning of the battle, the criminals have a dual attack on the ground and in the air.And Du Wei personally led the Griffon Knight to launch a counterattack.Facing the panic of the griffins, the elves fought against the griffin knights with a superior number. In this battle, the griffin knights led by Du Wei were one hundred against thousands, and they did not lose at all.But after the Dragon Clan entered the war, Du Wei was forced to retreat. The magician team loyal to Du Wei went out to help the Griffin Knights defend the airspace. In this battle, Du Wei's magician team suffered a lot of damage, and more than ten magicians were killed.The Griffin Rider finally suffered casualties. As for the ground troops, although Thunder Cavalry is powerful, Thunder Cavalry can't help much in the defense of the city.Moreover, the orcs came prepared this time. After the last battle, the orcs seemed to have learned the tactics of human shield walls and spears, which greatly limited the role of thunder cavalry. During the battle, the city wall of the fortress was once missed, and the situation fell into a crisis...but... This time, it was not Du Wei who created the miracle! but... ... Regarding that battle, a strange legend was formed among the troops on the Eastern Front afterwards.When everyone mentioned the scene that day, they all showed shock and fear, and there was also a hint of awe. If you mention the scene of the day, then the soldiers on the Eastern Front will tell you: "That day... what a miracle!! That day, our section of the city wall had already fallen, and the air knights of Duke Tulip could barely resist. Those orcs attacked like they were dying... Hateful, our city wall is still there. We couldn't form an effective defense because of the large gaps in the building. I watched as our flag fell down section by section on the city wall, and those furry orcs charged up... at that time……" If you continue to ask at this time, then the person who answers you will probably swallow hard and spit, with a strange and miserable face. If there is wine next to him, he will immediately grab it and take a few sips. , as if in need of courage. "At that time... I, and all the brothers around me, seemed to hear a voice from the sky at the same time. Yes, that's right! That voice came from the sky! It was a woman's voice, the voice It's cold, and when you hear it, you can feel the hairs all over your body stand on end! That voice is like a woman directly next to your ear, saying to you, 'Everyone, look up at the sky, don't lower your head!'. Then……" "Then... I looked up and saw a fairy descending from the sky! I swear to the gods, I never lied! She must be a fairy! Damn, although she is high in the sky, I can't see her face clearly, but I I bet, this is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life! From a distance, just looking at her shadow, I was stunned! Then..." "Then, that fairy drew out a long sword, severed off a large handful of her long golden hair, and threw it forward quickly... and then..." "Afterwards, the battle was over. Guess what? I tell you, I was so scared that I wet my pants! We were warned by the woman's voice, and everyone looked up at the sky and were not allowed to look forward. As a result, the woman spat After shedding a piece of hair, the voices of the orcs shouting around them gradually disappeared! After the surrounding area became silent, the woman disappeared from the sky and was never seen again. As a result, we looked down, only See...under the city, on the battlefield, those orcs who swarmed over like ants just now, one by one, all turned into... stone statues! You say, what is it if it's not a miracle? I guess...the woman who appeared in the sky , wouldn’t it be the goddess appearing? It would be great if that’s the case! Goddess bless! Long live Roland! Long live the empire!!” ... "Long live Roland! Long live the empire!" The surrounding soldiers were shouting together, and many of them still held iron wine glasses in their hands. This is a tavern in the fortress city-now it has become a resting place for soldiers. A young boy stood behind several burly men in robes, who looked like guards or something. This young boy has a pretty face and looks like he is only in his early ten years old, but his expression is very good. After talking with a few drunken soldiers, I finally asked about the big battle... Charlie, His Majesty the current emperor of the empire, his eyes became more and more strange. Goddess apparition?God bless? All turned into stone sculptures? Duke Tulip, my teacher, what tricks are you doing? Seeing all the drunken soldiers around, Charlie's attendants were a little nervous.He quickly surrounded him and protected the little emperor in the middle. This time, His Majesty the Little Emperor came to the Eastern Front in person, with the purpose of condolences and rewards to the soldiers on the Eastern Front——What a great honor it is for His Majesty the Emperor to come in person!Although everyone knows that His Majesty the Little Emperor is not in charge yet, he is still the Emperor after all! It's just...the little emperor, His Majesty, has so many weird ideas, what kind of game is he going to play in a micro-service and private visit... Sigh, it's only us guards who suffer. "Your Majesty." A leader of the guards approached Charlie's ear and begged in a low voice, "There are a lot of people here. Let's go to the Commander's Mansion to see Lord Tulip." "What are you in a hurry for?" Charlie said confidently, "Here are all the warriors of our Roland Empire! As the emperor of the empire, am I afraid of danger among the warriors of the imperial army!" What he said was very beautiful, and the surrounding guards couldn't help showing admiration in their eyes when they heard it, but the little emperor's desire to perform seemed too strong, and he even wanted to get double the cheap and inferior ale from the counter to return with the soldiers— — This move was a bit too much, and it was finally stopped by the guards. "Okay, let's go see the teacher." Facing the guard's obstruction, Charlie was actually half-pushing, and he was just pretending.He would not want to huddle together with these soldiers and drink that inferior beer with the honor of the emperor! "Goddess bless! Long live Roland! Long live the Empire!! Long live Duke Tulip!!!" Little Charlie was smiling when he heard the first two sentences, but when those drunken soldiers yelled the last sentence, there was a strange flash in Charlie's eyes. "Let's go." As if he had finally lost interest, he turned around and walked out of the soldier's entertainment tavern first.
