The crossroads where Mount Ariel, the town of Benson, and the Brill Heights meet, where the Fifth Regiment of Pedi is now stationed, is not a good place to defend, and there is no barrier to rely on except for an unknown stream.

On a high slope at the crossroads, a newly built wooden tower is Peidi's new command post, and on the exposed roof of the command post, a sturdy figure is reflected under the burning pot fire.

It's Pedi,

He's been standing there since dark.

Around this command post, all the officers and soldiers of the First Corps of the Fifth Army Corps were quietly lurking in their respective defense areas, and occasionally, some nervous officers or soldiers would turn their heads to look at the high platform of the command post, and when they saw Pei Di's figure, they were unconsciously relieved.

...

Under the dense lights in the stronghold, there are figures shuttling back and forth from time to time,

These are the scouts sent out by Pedi to spy on the military, and they come back almost every minute to report on the latest movements of the orcs...

As everyone expected, the Governor's headquarters took the town of Banson and advanced as soon as they were to advance on Mount Ariel.

The Third Wing of the Thirteenth Mixed Banner Regiment, the vanguard of the front in Banson Town, was already approaching the stronghold at the crossroads where Pedi was, and in addition, the Third Banner Regiment of the Orcs of Mount Ariel had already occupied the stronghold of the Imperial Defense Line ten miles away an hour ago!

Every time the scout was informed, the solemn look on the faces of the imperial officers in the command post would be aggravated, and Sergeant Burketon, as the commander of the corps, may not be able to stand the oppression in the command post, so he rushed to the front line with his five captains early.

suddenly

A rush of footsteps sounded,

It's the sound of footsteps that are more urgent than ever.

Then a slightly trembling voice sounded, "The vanguard of the Third Banner Regiment has been assembled, and it may attack our stronghold at any time. ”

Immediately afterward, an even more trembling voice came, "The orc vanguard in the direction of Benson Town is already advancing towards the northern defense line of the stronghold, and it is expected to arrive in half an hour." ”

Soon, two young staff officers quickly marked the current location of the two units on the map.

Chief of Staff Tamil swallowed unconsciously, he cautiously looked at his old commander, Count Anse, and then glanced at Pedi on the high platform outside, and then, he straightened his somewhat stiff back and gently patted the abdominal armor on his waist,

Although Tamil's movements at the moment were very light, they were still clearly audible in this dull environment, and the next moment, the eyes of the officers in the command post were focused on him,

Tamil did not feel any discomfort in the face of these gazes, because this was done by him on purpose, but to his disappointment, the Earl of Anse, who had been recuperating from his injuries, remained motionless.

"Sir, we—" Tamil finally took a deep breath and couldn't help but want to say something.

"What time is it?" said Pedi's voice suddenly from the high platform outside into the command post.

Tamil and many of the staff officers were stunned, and Count Anse also suddenly opened his eyes.

"A quarter past eleven. "Tamil told the time.

"Where is the main force of the orcs now?" asked Pedi again.

The Tamil Chief of Staff glanced at the markings on the map and said, "The 3rd Flag Regiment has passed through the middle of Mount Ariel, and the 13th Mixed Flag Regiment has arrived in the Minkna Gorge, and it is expected to reach the perimeter of the northern defense line of the stronghold in an hour." ”

Just as Tamil's words landed, three magic signals in the direction of Brill Heights rose higher and higher in the dark night sky, and Pedi, who had been waiting outside, stared directly at these three magic signals.

"The signal for a counteroffensive in Brill Heights has been given. ”

Pedi said this in a low voice, and by the time he had finished speaking, Count Anse had already appeared beside him, his eyes looking in the same direction as Pedi.

In the distance, on the dark Mount Ariel, after a few signals rose into the air, a few rays of fire rushed out like a pop in the starry sky, polishing the surrounding space.

Then, in the jungle opposite Mount Ariel, in the dense forests on both sides of the road leading to the town of Benson, and in the mountains and dense forests around the Minkna Canyon in the distance, pillars of fire emerged from the ground like a dragon's tongue spitting out letters.

A few seconds later, the mountains around the crossroads where the Pedi stronghold was located flashed with fire, and from a distance, it looked like sparkling iron filings that were flying up when striking iron...

Soon, dense elemental flames ignited the nearby jungle, and in the blink of an eye, the sky-high flames burst through the darkness like demons summoned from hell, lighting up the entire skyrim in an instant.

Pei Di on the rooftop, only felt a few sparks flash in his eyes, and then, as if he was being watered by molten slurry, a scorching heat began to squeeze his body, and even made it impossible to breathe in time for a while.

No, it's not that you can't breathe in time,

Instead, the sudden outbreak of fire instantly drained the oxygen from the surrounding space.

It was as if the body was suddenly locked in the space around it, and it couldn't even move.

This state lasts for at least five seconds,

Soon, a cold current mixed with a burst of heat hit, and Peidi only felt his body loosened by the space.

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

Pedi and everyone around him were gasping for air, and their faces had expressions of the rest of their lives.

At this moment, all the surroundings of Pedi's stronghold were in a sea of fire, and the scorching heat could instantly dehydrate the soldiers.

Pedi took off his wet gloves and wiped the sweat from his face casually.

"Tell the fighters to hydrate, or something will go wrong. "Count Anse spoke at this time.

Petdy grabbed Tamil, who had left like a wooden man, and added, "Send out the scouts who are still moving, and let them go and see what is going on on the orcs' side." ”

Farther away, people who were able to see the fire...

The villagers of the large and small villages near the town of Banson, the Ksai Overseers who had just arrived in the town of Banson and all the officers and men of the Sixth Banner Regiment that were being repaired, the Orc warriors of the Overseer of Khalikan and the Commands of the Khalihan in Burrell Mountain, the 20,000 Twak Commander Light Cavalry in the charge, the Cashifel Army, the Count of Banda, the other two legions of the Fifth Legion, and even the nobles and citizens of the city of Klan a hundred miles away,

At this moment, whether it is an orc or a human, in the face of such a transcendent and desperate force that wants to bow down, it will be terrified from the heart!

Reman, the chief of staff of the Kesai Overseer, couldn't help but sigh, "Is this the power of the gods?"

"This is the power of the devil. The Overseer squeezed a word out of his teeth, the anger around him that melted everything.

German thought for a moment, and finally said, "That's the Ariel Mountain Defense Line, I'm worried..."

"Don't think about it, it must be there, the Third Banner Regiment and the Thirteenth Mixed Flag Regiment are probably already in flames!" The anger of the berserkers in the Kesai Overseers suddenly soared, and their eyes were as terrifying as beasts in the night, "Anse Zora, indeed, is not a person to be underestimated. ”

"The question is what do we do now?"

"Forward!"

"Forward?"

With a cold glint in their eyes, the Overseer said, "Let the 3rd Banner Regiment and the 13th Mixed Banner Regiment advance at full speed, advance at all costs, attack at all costs, and destroy all enemies who dare to resist them." ”

"My friend, we don't know the situation right now, I'm worried..."

"I said, move on!" Kersai roared, "that's the only option right now... Advance, and then destroy our enemies. ”

The voice of the Kesai Overseer was so loud that Reman, who was closest to him, felt even his eardrums vibrate.

German had worked with German for many years, and this was the first time he had seen Kersay's anger, so German finally swallowed what he wanted to say.

...

Half an hour later, the fire on Mount Ariel was getting bigger and bigger.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the earth-shattering sound of war drums echoed throughout the area around Mount Ariel.

This rhythm is the order of the orc clan to attack!

In the temporarily retrenched barrier, the two flag leaders of the Orc Third Banner Regiment and the Thirteenth Mixed Banner Regiment immediately understood what the Kesai Overseers were trying to say.

Keep moving!

The commander of the Third Banner Regiment Banner Ones, without the slightest consideration, snatched the battle flag from the flag officer's hand and shouted to the officers on the left and right: "Gather the troops, form two groups of charge squads, and give me full speed to advance and break through the blockade of the fire." ”

"The soldiers are afraid, sir. A young orc officer couldn't help but say.

Ornes tore off the leather armor on his body, looked at the thickening white smoke, and roared angrily: "Then let the soldiers follow in my footsteps!"

Soon, the remaining more than 5,000 soldiers of the Third Banner Regiment continued to advance under the leadership of the Banner Commander Ones.

Ten minutes later,

Ornes was the first to fall in the fire, and his lieutenant immediately took the battle flag and continued to push forward under the cover of the fallen corpses of his comrades.

Half an hour later,

The Third Banner Regiment, with the exception of the 2,000 men of the vanguard army, was reduced to ashes in the fire.

The Overseer paid the price for his wrath, misestimating the power of the fire, and his erroneous orders burned thousands of officers and men of the Third Banner Regiment who could have survived.

On the other side, Bu Li, the flag commander of the 13th Mixed Flag Regiment, thought twice and did not carry out this order.
