As the night faded, Alice watched as the dawn emerged from the cloudless sky, and the earth was slowly enveloped in a dazzling morning light.

The group set off again, but fortunately they didn't have to flee in an embarrassed manner, so they walked very slowly and leisurely, so as to ensure that they would not be too embarrassed when they encountered the knights of the Duchy of Heluo.

At noon, they encountered a ranger legion from the Principality of Heluo.

Renard had his hands on the pergola, and his vision was full of sonorous iron horses, rushing towards it.

The knight at the head was tall and strong, with red tassels hanging from his head, and holding high the flag symbolizing the Principality of Heluo.

The knights behind him were spear-wielding, the tips of which reflected a blinding chill in the sunlight, more striking than the worn machetes of the wolf cavalry.

Renard now finally knows why the Duchy of Heluo dares to wrestle with the powerful Orc Empire, if he has such a majestic army, even if it is only five thousand horsemen, it is enough to deter the entire barren land, let alone a million army.

The deafening sound of horses' hooves mixed with the sound of horns came from the rangers, who swept through the steppe like a gale, and finally gathered in the direction of the people.

The shock was indescribable, as if the steel jungle was rapidly crushing against itself.

The two sides eventually met on an unknown dirt bag.

The face of the leading knight was completely hidden in the armor, making it difficult to see the face, but from his voice, it could be heard that this was a young knight: "At first I thought you were orcs. ”

As he spoke, the knight lifted his visor, revealing a slightly old face inside, and a very neatly combed beard, and he greeted with a smile: "Long time no see, Your Highness Alice." ”

Alice couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw the other party's appearance clearly, and then bent down respectfully and greeted in the same way: "Long time no see, the great Lord of Heluo, the King of the Prairie." ”

Renard was stunned for a moment, and then a little shocked, he looked at the sixty-year-old knight in front of him, but he didn't expect that the other party was the rumored Grand Duke of Heluo.

Grand Duke Heluo turned over and dismounted, perhaps because he was too old, his movements seemed a little laborious, but even so, the other knights had no intention of helping.

The steppe man is proud and thinks highly of himself, and even if he is about to fall in the next moment, the others will have to help him after he falls, even if the result will be death.

Grand Duke Heluo came to Alice's side and looked at her with kindness: "We haven't seen each other for two years, and the last time your father, the Prince of Wales, visited, I personally asked about your condition. ”

Alice bowed down again and said softly, "I feel very honored by this. ”

Grand Duke Heluo showed an undeniable expression when he heard this, and then said with some regret: "I heard that your father has set a marriage for you, which makes me very sorry, in fact, you are my favorite choice for daughter-in-law." ”

When Alice heard this, she couldn't help blushing a little, especially when she mentioned her private affairs in front of so many people, which made her even more ashamed to meet people.

Grand Duke Heluo laughed when he saw this, and then changed the topic and said, "Alice, why did you come to the Principality of Heluo, and you made such a mess, you shouldn't be a guest, right?"

When Alice heard this, she immediately reacted, and her tone became very serious: "We fled here from the moonlight town in the northwest of the Golden Silk Willow Province. ”

"Moonlight Town?" Grand Duke Heluo frowned, and then seemed to remember something: "Oh, this name is very familiar, there is a very good wine there, it seems to be called Blue Enchantress, a very dreamy name." ”

Immediately afterward, he noticed the point in Alice's words: "Escape?"

"That's right. Alice nodded gloomily: "The Orc Empire suddenly launched an attack on the Golden Silk Willow Province, and now all the towns near the Boleton Grassland have been slaughtered exterminatingly. ”

She glanced at the embarrassed crowd behind her and said again, "At that time, I was taking the children from the academy to the Warcraft Forest to train, and it happened so suddenly, I only had time to send them away, and then stick to the local sergeant to wait for help. ”

As she spoke, her expression became even more gloomy: "We held out for two days and two nights under the attack of 20,000 wolf cavalry, and in the end we still failed to hold out until the reinforcements arrived, maybe there will be no reinforcements." ”

When Grand Duke Heluo heard this, his face gradually became solemn, and his eyes became very sharp: "The orcs are here again?"

If there is anyone in this world who hates orcs the most, it is undoubtedly the Heluo people.

Two thousand years ago, the Boleyton Grassland and the Pampas Grassland were the territory of the Heluo people, and the two vast grasslands were their home, and the Heluo people could gallop on the grassland to their heart's content.

Until one day, the orcs suddenly visited and expelled the Heluo people from their homeland with bloody and brutal means, and tens of millions of Heluo people were displaced.

Over the next two thousand years, the Helo and the orcs waged a long war for the supremacy of the steppe.

The war was fought from the western part of the Boleton Grassland to the middle of the grassland, from the middle to the eastern part of the grassland, and finally even to the Pampas grassland east of the Red River Rift Valley.

The population of the Heluo people has plummeted from tens of millions to less than 9 million, making them have to rely on the Great Rift Valley of the Red River to survive.

In the end, they were no longer able to wage war against the orcs, and could only wait for death silently like lions trapped in a cage.

More than 200 years ago, a wise monarch of the Constantinople Empire came to the world, and he called on the nobles of the whole country to launch a horse racing movement, and millions of imperial elites drove straight into the Boleton steppe to start a bloody battle with the orcs.

When the Grand Duke of Heluo heard the news, he resolutely stepped onto the battlefield at the age of eighty-four.

At the same time, it is announced to the whole country:

The god of war has given an order, and hereby this edict is used to inform the world that the orcs have plagued the grassland for thousands of years, humiliating my people, killing my people, and seizing our land.

Under the deafening slogan, the whole country of the Principality of Heluo is a soldier, and anyone who can ride a horse and shoot arrows, regardless of men, women, and children, can participate in the war.

The tragic war lasted for more than 30 years, and it can be called the smallest, largest, longest-lasting, and deadliest battle in the history of the northern continent.

Even the Continental Civil War provoked by the Moren Empire and the Constantinople Empire was a little less urgent than that.

Two countries, several generations have gone forward and succeeded, six million people died in battle, and almost every family in the Principality of Heluo wore filial piety and mourned.

Of course, the gains of the war were huge, four million wolf cavalry were slaughtered, and the orcs could no longer form a wolf posture against the western steppe.

The territory of the Constantinople Empire expanded by 840,000 square kilometers, and the Duchy of Helo not only recovered the entire Pampas, but also gained the friendship of the empire and a precious respite.

The impact of this battle was no less than that of Hou Huo, the champion of the Western Han Dynasty.
