Before the elves declined.
The orc empire wanted to scare the prairie elves.
A huge fortress complex was built near the border of the grassland.
The fortress stretches along the entire border.
Block the way for the grassland elves to enter the orc empire.
There are as many as 500,000 orcs on duty in the fortress all year round.
And they are all top-notch elites.
Among them are elites such as the Bronze Behemoth Shaman Knights.
Behind the fortress group, there are also large and small cities.
Used to support the defense of the fortress.
It was also the deterrent of this force back then.
Only the elves who rebelled from the Dragon God Empire would honestly accept the rule of the orcs in the Breeze Land.
Elite members of the clan are constantly being deployed to serve as cannon fodder on the front lines.
After the elves gradually declined.
The elite orcs also began to be drawn away.
Only part of the original fortress community still maintains military functions.
Most of the rest were converted into commercial cities.
The trade between Breezeland Grassland and the Orc Empire flourished.
The number of caravans traveling on this trade road all year round is as high as thousands.
Any disturbance on the grassland of Breeze Land will be spread throughout the Orc Empire through the caravan.
Tarot City.
The orc empire was once a nail embedded in the grassland.
Threaten the largest tribe of prairie elves.
But now Tarot City has lost its military function.
In addition to the central castle, it also has some military defense functions.
The outer city was expanded around it, and the inner city was opened up for the caravans to be stationed.
All this shows that this place has become a complete commercial city.
But today, it is just such a commercial city.
It was originally a place where merchants should be swarming.
Now the city gate is closed.
There was hardly even a caravan at the city gate.
On top of the city wall.
The orc city defense troops stationed here no longer go to the caravans to extort money.
At this time, he was patrolling the city wall with a nervous look on his face.
From time to time, orcs would raise their heads and look out.
There was indescribable nervousness in his expression, even a hint of fear.
And the reason is not complicated.
Not so long ago.
The businessmen from the Green Capital brought back shocking news.
A powerful human cavalry army raided the Green Capital.
Killed all the defenders stationed in the Green Capital.
Even Governor Fisher's head was chopped off.
But the human rebels let the merchant go.
Let these businessmen bring out a message.
On the grasslands of Breezeland, a force resisting the rule of the Orc Empire has emerged.
Holy shit.
Such treacherous words actually came out from Breeze Land.
You must know that the orcs now know that Breezeland is about to be taken.
Become a vassal race like the giants.
And the new rebels emerged.
It means that the orcs' plan failed.
And it still failed miserably.
After all, even the Governor is dead.
Next up!
Breezeland's rebels are sure to attack.
Tarot City is the first to bear the brunt.
That's why these defenders are so nervous.
"Rom, the team that went out to investigate hasn't come back yet, could they be dead?"
"They are probably dead. On the grassland, these human rebels will definitely join forces with the elves."
"On the grasslands of Breezeland, the grassland elves are the strongest cavalry."
"Our orc knights haven't fought in many years."
He said and shook his head.
"Then why don't you, Lord City Lord, retreat?"
"Haha."
"The city lord is a noble, and the nobles of the orc empire guard the land."
"Even if you die, you can't take a step back."
"If the nobles don't withdraw, we will retreat. If the Orc Empire pursues us, we will still die."
"Then we can only wait here to die?"
"What if?"
"The nobles are waiting for death, you want to run away?"
"If the noble lord dies, he will receive an imperial pension, but if we die, we will not get any."
For an empire that has been passed down for too long, internal rigidity is inevitable.
Even hot-blooded orcs can't get rid of it.
The lower-class orcs and the nobles are no longer of the same mind.
"Just think of it as saving the lives of your family."
The orc defender sighed.
And just then.
Skyline of grassland.
A figure appears.
Not long after, a figure appeared under the city wall from far away.
"Quick."
"They are the orc cavalry who are out for reconnaissance."
The defenders of the city wall went down to the city and rescued the cavalryman.
"Quick, go report to the city lord."
"The grassland of Breezeland, all the elven servant legions died in battle."
"The elven tribes formed a coalition and mixed with the human mercenary army."
"Raising the flag of rebellion!"
"The 150,000 knights of the Centaur clan suffered heavy losses, losing more than half."
"Now!"
"Rebels. Rebels have occupied the grasslands of Breezeland."
After the news came out.
The orc cavalry who was investigating tilted his head and passed out.
The long gallop exhausted his energy.
And if it weren't for his efforts to escape.
Now I am afraid that like my companions, they have died on the grassland.
After the surrounding orcs heard the news.
There was a look of horror in his eyes.
"The army of hundreds of thousands of elven servants was defeated!"
"Even centaurs and knights!"
"It's over, something big is going to happen now!"
"Quick."
"Go and inform the city lord!!!"
When the news reached the orc city lord.
It is already the last one to know.
This orc city lord is a rat man.
In the orc empire, they are all relatively rare races.
Compared to the powerful orc family.
Rat people are relatively scattered and basically do not form families.
Because most ratmen are beasts.
Orcs without wisdom will not be accepted by the orc empire.
They are collectively known as beasts.
This is the unique characteristic of rat people.
Give them the opportunity to become the Emperor's retainers.
The rat man in front of him is one of the retainers of the contemporary emperor.
Responsible for monitoring the situation in Breezeland.
At the same time, he monopolized the trade here and accumulated money for the emperor.
The rat man is a qualified retainer.
But he is definitely not a qualified manager or military commander.
when hearing the news.
The Ratman City Lord was running around anxiously.
At this time, the deputy city lord could only say helplessly.
"Your Excellency."
"The news should be reported to the high command of the fortress now."
Although this fortress defense line is deserted, there are still some large fortresses where a large number of legions are stationed.
First, the construction of fortresses consumes too much money, and waste is not good.
Secondly, the fortress is also close to human territory.
The elves are gone, but the threat to the human race is still there.
So it was retained.
As a bastion that threatens humanity on its flanks.
I just didn’t expect it!
The fortress will once again face threats from the Breezelands.
"Okay."
"Hurry and inform the governor of the fortress."
The Rat City Lord sent his cavalry out.
But they don’t actually need to be notified.
The governor of the fortress had already known about the abnormality in the grassland at the first time.
The other side even sent cavalry to investigate.
Got first-hand information on the battlefield.
Compared to the Skaven.
The fortress governor was much calmer.
In the command room of the fortress governor.
All the legion commanders under his command were notified.
Discussions are underway on how to resolve the situation in Breezeland Grassland.
"Currently on the grassland, there are two forces."
"The first is the tribal alliance of prairie elves."
"Based on reliable intelligence."
"The number of tribal coalition troops is 20,000."
"This is the grassland elves, the largest legion that the remaining tribes can gather."
"In addition to these, there is also a mysterious human army."
"They master an energy of light attribute."
"This legion is very powerful."
"All are high-level professionals."
"Defeat the Centaur clan and surprise the Green Capital."
"It's all the credit of this human cavalry."
"Currently we have no further information about this human cavalry."
"But based on the latest intelligence."
"They appeared in the direction of the fog shadow tower."
"Not long ago, news came that a decisive battle broke out at the Fog Shadow Tower."
"The entire army of elven servants in the Green Capital has been wiped out."
"I think it should be the result of this human cavalry joining the battlefield."
"Otherwise, there will be only 20,000 elven tribe coalition forces."
"It is absolutely impossible to defeat an army of elven servants several times their size."
"Therefore, we are justified in making a judgment."
"This powerful human cavalry is the key to this battle."
"Destroying them will put an end to the rebellion in the Breezelands steppes."
The Orc Empire has become internally rigid due to its long inheritance.
But the powerful empire relied on inertia and still cultivated a large number of outstanding military officers.
After analyzing existing intelligence.
The people inside the fortress have already determined who their real enemy is.
"Is there any news from the human city-state?"
The orc governor of the fortress asked.
"No, Your Excellency."
"Each human city-state said that they did not send legions into the Breeze Land."
"And they probably don't have such strong strength to form such a legion."
Human potential is what the orcs are always wary of.
The pieces of land that have been broken up make human potential always just potential.
It cannot form a joint force against the orcs.
Perhaps all human city-states could unite to assemble an elite force of this level.
But obviously this is not possible.
There are so many internal conflicts in a human city-state, how can it be possible to do such a thing.
"If it were not a human city-state."
"Is it really what those businessmen said?"
"He is a wanted criminal in the royal capital!"
The merchants swore that these humans were the wanted criminals in the royal capital.
But according to the news from the royal capital, there are only three wanted criminals.
And in front of him was an army of five thousand people!
Can this be called a wanted criminal?
A proper rebel.
But now they are indeed rebels.
"Forget it, there's no point in continuing to dwell on this."
"What do you think should be done to eliminate this group of human cavalry now?"
"Putting down the rebellion in the grassland."
"To be honest, the current information is all with us, and it has not been transmitted to the royal capital yet."
"Once it reaches the royal capital."
"All of you here will be severely punished by the Emperor."
"So if we can eliminate the rebels in the grassland before the capital knows about it."
"Not only are we not guilty."
"When the time comes, I will be credited with pacifying the grassland!"
Credit goes to the Orc Empire, and both civilians and orcs are extremely eager for it.
With military merit, one can be promoted to a noble title.
It would break the monopoly of the great nobles.
Military nobles naturally have a higher status than ordinary nobles in the Orc Empire.
The promotion of military merit is also the most stringent system implemented by the Orc Empire.
It also ensured the vitality of the Orc Empire.
Not completely rigid.
The nobles in the fortress heard that they could achieve military merit.
There was a look of longing on each of their faces.
"Your Excellency, human knights are very strong."
"But we are not weak either."
"In the fortress, we also have three thousand bronze Behemoth Shamans."
"The knights reunited with their horses."
"Just set up your formation and play in a wide space."
"I think there is not much difference between the two in terms of combat effectiveness."
"We're even a little bit ahead."
The orcs have absolute confidence in their Behemoth Shaman.
"There are also centaur and knights."
"They were suddenly attacked and their formation collapsed."
"Especially the commander's death in battle is a serious blow."
"I think if we can give them a chance for a head-on confrontation."
"Charge the battle with heavily armored knights on horseback."
"Under huge numbers."
"The advantage is ours!"
"Even if we can't win it temporarily, we can still maintain a balance."
"And just need to be able to hold them off."
"We will have extra strength to annihilate the legions of the Elf tribe."
"After wiping out the cavalry of the Elf tribe, the five thousand knights can only be considered a large band of thieves at best."
"It's not a big deal on the whole prairie."
"And if the elves are immortal."
"Given time, this grassland will really be lost."
The fortress governor nodded after hearing this.
"You are right."
"Human knights are a great threat."
"But after all, we are not the aborigines of the grassland."
"The key is to kill the elves. Kill them all."
"The grassland is still ours."
"Then follow this plan."
"Deploy the legion to seek a decisive battle with the human knight legion and hold them back."
"But we need to make a broader calculation of the enemy's strength."
"In this attack to intercept, in addition to the three thousand Behemoth Shamans and Centaur Knights, I will send out five thousand Black Iron Behemoth Shamans to follow."
"The rest of the fortress legions are on standby."
"Be ready to rush into the grassland at any time."
"Kill all the elven tribes."
"Yes!"
Not long after, the eight thousand shaman legions in the fortress came out of the city to join the reorganized fifty thousand heavily armored knights.
Re-entered the grassland.
But this time their goal is simple.
It is the capital of green.
After regaining this elven capital.
Then use this place as a base to find the human knights for a decisive battle.
At the same time they entered the grassland.
The governor of the fortress ordered the commercial cities along the route to send out reconnaissance knights into the grassland.
With the orc fortress as the base, these knights were like a big net, covering the grassland.
at the same time.
Fog Shadow Tower.
Here it is.
Christian is using the resurrection skill.
Resurrect the elves who died in the battle one by one.
Fang Yuan stood under the fog shadow sentry tower.
Observing the magic pattern structure on this magic sentry tower.
And just then.
A Holy Light Knight quickly jumped off his horse.
"Report!"
"Your Excellency Lord." "Your Excellency Lilith has entered the grassland!!!" (End of this chapter)
