On February 20, 71 years after the founding of the Arthurian Empire, more than 70,000 soldiers in Gannan Province were about to launch the first real counterattack since the outbreak of the Plague under the leadership of Governor Renard.

In order to boost morale, Lei Ye gave this operation a very apt name - the battle of demon slashing!

On the day of the start of the operation, he finally convened a routine military meeting, which required all cadres at and above the battalion level to attend, and the number of participants reached more than 300 people.

At this time, the military conference hall was completely changed, and in order to accommodate more people, all the exquisite sofas were removed, and the original positions were replaced with wooden chairs that occupied a smaller area, which were completely arranged according to the speech scene.

The place where Renard was sitting was turned into a podium, with a few chairs on it, and the furnishings next to it were removed and replaced with three flags, namely the national flag, the family coat of arms, and the military flag.

In an instant, the entire conference hall retreated from the taste of luxury, leaving only solemnity and solemnity.

At half past eight in the morning, there was a crowd of people under the podium.

However, the entire conference hall was unusually silent, and the occasional discussion was heard at a very low level.

Even if some people are not clear about the content of this meeting, they can clearly feel the solemn atmosphere around them, and subconsciously keep silent.

After waiting for less than half an hour, Renard appeared at the gate of the conference hall in full gear, he did not stop, and walked directly onto the podium.

He hadn't been wearing armor in a while, and it was a little uncomfortable to wear it all of a sudden.

Lei Ye was followed by several people, followed by Duke Edmund, Ray Dawang, Cripple, Henry and other high-ranking military officials.

Seeing these bigwigs present, the officers in the audience were all tense, stood up, straightened their waists, and saluted.

Renard stepped to the podium and stood still, looking around sharply until everyone's appearance came into his mind, then nodded and said, "Very good, everyone is here." ”

He raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down, then slapped the thick file on the table, and said straight to the point: "Without further ado, the purpose of convening this military meeting should be very clear to everyone. ”

"Since I took charge of Nanhuang County, the demon has not set foot in this place for half a step, and a while ago, His Majesty the King entrusted me with the important task of granting me the position of governor of Gannan Province, and ruling over Kale County, Nanhuang County, and barren land......"

"Now that the demons have returned, with tens of millions of forces to bring down the Kingdom of Arthur, as the guardian of the entire territory of the Kingdom of Arthur and the governor of the province, it is my bounden duty to defend the territory of the Kingdom and the people of the Kingdom from infringement. ”

"As soldiers, it is also your duty to defend the territory and protect the territory, and at this time of crisis, I hope that you can fight bravely for the honor of the kingdom, for Your Majesty, and for the soldiers. ”

When everyone heard this, they stood up and replied in unison, "I am willing to die for the Governor." ”

Renard did not correct the mistake here, he still said with a serious face: "Everyone, the Arthurian kingdom has reached the most critical juncture, this operation, victory will continue the race, defeat will destroy the country and extinction. ”

"Although the northern continent is vast, we have no way back, our home is here, and our relatives and friends are behind us. ”

"I hope that you will have the courage to face dangers and difficulties bravely. ”

"I hope that one day in the future, all of you will be proud to say to your children and grandchildren: The proudest thing in my life is that I once participated in the battle of the demons. ”

"I hope that I will be proud to lead you in battle, whenever and wherever you are. ”

As he spoke, Lei Ye stood up and gave a straight military salute.

This sentence immediately tugged at the heartstrings of everyone, and they also stood up to salute in return, and their constantly rising and falling chests showed the turmoil in the hearts of these officers.

Reynard's role in this meeting was merely to incentive, and he then handed over the voice to the heads of the troops, such as Ray Dawang and Duke Edmund, who arranged the specific tasks of each army.

The meeting proceeded unhurriedly and did not adjourn until noon.

After the meeting was dismissed, the middle-ranking officers of the unit did not linger in the slightest and went straight to their respective military stations.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the 70,000-strong army of Gannan Province marched in the direction of the Ambrizet Mountains in regiments.

Under the protection of Bennett and Rolson, Renard went straight to the indigenous branch of the Anti-Demon Alliance.

The branch of the Anti-Demon Alliance is located at the foot of the Gran Mountains, which is the front line of the battle, and the natives have placed their headquarters here purely to show their determination to take back their homeland.

By the time Renard arrived, hundreds of tribal chieftains had gathered, including kobolds, goblins, and bear goblins

, Trolls, Ogre, Lizardmen......

For some reason, they were arguing at this point.

Lei Ye's arrival immediately attracted the attention of all the natives present, and their expressions were complicated, with eagerness, hostility, and disgust.

Ignoring the natives' gaze, Renard headed straight for the Troll Chief Oru.

Holding his breath, he stepped forward and gave him a bear hug, and only after parting did he have the courage to speak: "Are you alright, my old friend." ”

The joy on Chief Oulu's face was palpable, and he replied, "Of course, my best human friend, I am fine. ”

This troll chief is now in high spirits, and with Lei Ye's strong support in terms of materials, his tribe has grown extremely fast, from a few thousand people in the past to 20,000 now.

In the indigenous world, loyalty is extremely cheap.

Whoever can feed them, who can provide shelter, the natives will follow.

Of course, although the tribe of the Oulu chieftain has developed rapidly, his status in the Anti-Demon Alliance is not very high, and even in this branch, his status can only barely rank in the middle and upper reaches.

The entire Ambrizet Mountains are nearly 400 kilometers wide and nearly 3,000 kilometers long, with a total area of up to one million square kilometers.

If you count the area of rolling mountains, I am afraid that it will be more than 10 million square kilometers.

In such a vast land, there are countless indigenous people, roughly estimated to be in the hundreds of millions.

Among them, there are many super-large tribes with a population of more than one million, and this tribe of the Olu chief is probably not even a fart compared to the other party.

The two chatted for a few minutes, and more than a dozen tribal chiefs came next to them, all of whom were very courteous.

For no other reason, these natives have all benefited from Lei Ye.

As for the tribal chiefs who did not receive benefits, they naturally did not have a good face towards him.

However, they didn't dare to make a mistake, after all, the indigenous tribes that could cooperate with Lei Ye were all powerful forces in this branch of the Anti-Demon Alliance.

If they want to go against Lei Ye, they have to see whether the chiefs of these indigenous tribes let them go.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, these natives can ignore Lei Ye, they can despise or even disgust, but if you want to offend him, you can't do it.
