The village that was originally used to live has been bloody, the shouts of killing from both sides resounded throughout the sky, and the legends in the Baltic Empire army took the lead, constantly tearing apart the coalition front.

As long as the resistance is stronger, these legends will appear there, and those resistance will be crushed, the number of these legends is too much, and the eyes can see that there are more than ten legends here, and I don't know how many of them have not made a move.

Looking down from the sky, you can clearly see that these legends are like sharp knives inserted into the heart of the coalition forces, quickly eroding the coalition camps and crushing the enemies in their way.

With the passage of time, the fierce battle, the armor that was already brand new was now stained red with blood, and several holes appeared in the solid armor, and bright red blood was flowing out of these wounds.

Despite the embarrassment she looked, Goliath didn't care, not even the pain in her body could make her frown, she was followed by an army, wielding her weapon and constantly cleaning up the enemies that Goliad had defeated.

Their faces were grim, they could not see any fear, their combat quality was extremely high, and they were still able to fight with ease in the face of an enemy several times their size.

The gnolls and werewolves were no match for them, just as Goliath brought these soldiers with them in an attempt to prepare a gap for her army to break out.

The rain of arrows that fell from the sky extinguished their plans, and the rain of arrows lasted for two minutes, and even the shields produced by the Baltic Empire, which were made of steel as a whole, became scrap metal at this time.

The commanders of the Baltic Empire were extremely mature, and sought to achieve victory in the most efficient way, rather than doing something one-on-one when they already had the upper hand.

Without looking to see if there were any survivors in the field, the attack from the caster had arrived, and the blazing fireball fell into the field with a long tail flame, even the metal armor could not withstand the heat, and it burned red in less than a few seconds.

This not-so-small village, in what should have been a silent night, has become a terrible mill of flesh and blood, where countless soldiers have fallen on the land, and where fear has spread.

The courage raised by Golia's personal departure could not last long, and the brutal death began to make the surviving soldiers face up to the reality in front of them.

If that wasn't enough to make them despair, then looking up at the sky, the cavalry soaring through the sky on griffins and horned eagles became the straw that crushed them.

The black iron balls were thrown straight down by those Sky Knights, and the runes engraved on the surface of these iron balls would explode as soon as they touched the ground, and there was no need to carry out tedious ignition operations.

Within the Baltic Empire, the study of runes has been going on for a long time, and both militarization and civilianization have been developed for a long time.

Even the gods had to marvel at the Baltic spirit of research, who had applied the Rune Rune, a power that only the gods could control, to all aspects of their lives.

This strength was beyond the limits of what the soldiers could defend against, and the shattered iron ball shards easily pierced their shields and armor, and the ensuing flames turned flesh and blood into char.

Even the most advanced armor in the Northlands, made by the Balts, could not successfully defend against such damage, unless it was at a higher cost to attach magic to the armor.

Baptized by the triple baptism of arrows, magic, and bombardment, Goliath still did not die, her face was covered with black ash and blood, and even the long sword in her original hand was only half cut at this time.

She smiled fiercely, and wanted to cry, but there were no tears, and there were no other warriors around her, and she was the only one left who could move on the battlefield.

At her feet, there were broken corpses all over the place, and it was because of the protection of these people that Golia, who was not very strong, was able to survive the attack just now.

The gnolls and werewolves roared and surrounded them, but they did not attack, making way for the casters behind them to make sure that Golia could not escape.

Compared to Golia, who died and turned into a corpse, Golia, who is still alive, can bring more value to the Baltic Empire, at least her survival can provide favorable conditions for the Empire's actions in the Ural Mountains.

Surrender

Goliath saw this message unmistakably in the eyes of the enemies around her, and she showed a poignant smile unwillingly, with gray indifference in her pupils.

"As much as I like the green-skinned orcs at all, some of their words are sometimes very reasonable. ”

"Oh no!

The commander in command of the army exclaimed, but his reminder eventually slowed down, and Golia, who looked incapable of resisting, had skin as red as boiled shrimp.

Like the crisp sound of a balloon exploding, Goliath exploded, and the werewolves and gnolls who came near her were directly killed, and the metal fragments of blood, flesh, bones, and armor became sharp bullets, piercing and tearing apart their bodies.

By the time several casters joined forces and used the breeze to blow away the smoke of the explosion, all that remained of the shallow pit where Golia had been standing.

This powerful man, who was somewhat comparable to Beowulf, died in a small village in the Rus' region, and her end was not glorious at all.

The coalition army, which had been entrenched in the Ural Mountains for several years, and had not been able to be wiped out by the Baltic Empire, was thus annihilated in the Rus' region.

The losses of the Baltic Empire were minimal, and the captured villages were repaired in a matter of days, and the looted materials were not damaged at all.

After defeating the main force of the coalition and killing Goliath, the rest of the time is garbage time, with gnolls and werewolves on the ground and steppe elves riding horned eagles and griffons in the sky.

Even the wolves of the steppe have entered this hunting carnival, they chase after them who have lost the courage to fight, and in the state of no command, no food, the weak warriors can not defeat even ordinary wolves.

Still, there were sporadic people who brought news about the Rus region back to the Ural Mountains, to Levi, who had remained in the Ural Mountains and organized an army to surround the castle.

"Give up and continue the siege!"

Hearing the bad news about the Ross region, Levi quickly reined in his grief, and he abandoned the policy that Golia had set up before, and abandoned the strategy of continuing to encircle the city here.

There is no point in continuing the siege, the victory in the Rus area is just a ploy and trap set by the other side, then the stalemate between them and the other side before is a false acting deliberately shown by the other side.

If you don't give up quickly at this time, you will most likely be defeated by the enemy who comes out of the castle, and if the situation reaches that stage, Levi, who was originally just a guard and has no way to compare with Goliath in terms of prestige, will usher in defeat.

He also has to avenge Golia, to fulfill the dream that Golia's death has not been fulfilled, and he will definitely not be able to fall here so easily.

Soon after he gave the order to retreat, the chiefs of the other tribes soon came to his tent, and they angrily questioned Levi why he had abandoned such a favorable situation.

"Our army in the Rus region has been completely wiped out, even Golia has died at the hands of the Baltic Empire, and our previous victory was only a trap set by the other side to get us out of the Ural Mountains and from the environment we are familiar with. ”

Levi suppressed the pain in his heart and patiently explained to these tribal chiefs that he could only control a third of the army now, and he still needed the support of these tribal chiefs.

If there is no way to inherit Golia's position, the so-called coalition will really disappear, and without the combined force, the various tribes of the Ural Mountains will be crushed by the Baltic Empire, which is already a foreseeable fact.

"We are still able to fight, we will never retreat like this until we are defeated, this is our land, this is our homeland, we will never give up our land and our homeland to the Balts like this. ”

The chief of the orcs was the first to stand up and object, he was a hard-line main battle faction, and he would not accept Levi's proposal like this, and more importantly, now that Golia is dead, the coalition forces in the Ural Mountains are in a dilemma.

If he can lead the army to achieve results on the battlefield under such circumstances, then in the next meeting, he will have the confidence to inherit Golia's position.

"You don't want to give up, I don't want to give up, no one wants to give up like this, give up our land, leave our homeland. ”

"But now that we have lost a third of our army, the defeat from the Rus region will shake our soldiers, and the negative impact of Golia's death is something that I think is deeply felt by those present. ”

Levi directly put the predicament they were facing on the table, and he looked at the chiefs present with blazing eyes, making them subconsciously look away.

These chieftains of the Ural Mountains are still very simple, and if it were those nobles of the Baltic Empire who were accustomed to intrigue, they would not even blush, let alone feel guilty.

"I don't want to give up like this, if we retreat like this, we will give up the initiative to the Balts, and we need to find a way to survive this cruel winter in addition to their attacks. ”

They can use the special terrain of the Ural Mountains as a strategic depth to deal with the attacks of the Baltic Empire. (They didn't know that the Baltic Empire had already acquired a map of the Ural Mountains, and they didn't know that what they thought was strategic depth actually didn't exist.)

However, the cruel and cold winter has become a huge problem that cannot be ignored, because this year is in the midst of war, and there is no way to carry out production.

I thought that I could get enough supplies from the Rus region to survive the winter, but I didn't expect that it was actually a trap created by the Baltic Empire, and the materials that I originally got were completely lost. Recaptured by the Empire.

"There is no point in us staying here, it is better to retreat into the Ural Mountains, wait for the next opportunity, and continue to attack the other side's supply lines. ”

Levi said this self-deception, they all knew that the Baltic Empire's front-line castle did not know how much supplies had been accumulated, even if it completely cut off the other party's supply lines, it would have no effect.

This is a fact that has been proven last winter, and they can only hold on to the mountains and watch the green smoke rise from the castle on the front line of the Baltic Empire.

"What about food? We need more food and supplies to get through this winter. ”

Once again, the Orc Chieftain asked a harsh question that could not be avoided, and at the same time the most pressing problem before them that had to be dealt with.

"Food and supplies, don't we already have them?"

A cruel smile appeared on Levi's lips.

"Don't the tribes that have lost their armies have enough people and supplies to survive this bitter winter? ”

Levi's meaning is very simple, that is, to make up for his own losses by plundering the resources that have lost so much in the Rus' region, and to use their supplies to survive this winter.

As for the trafficking of the plundered people to the merchants of the Baltic Empire, it was not a big problem at all, they had this habit before, and now they just continue this habit.

What's more, it's time for life and death now, and it's not like continuing to hold the naïve idea that if you have a common enemy, you can't attack each other.

People living in the Ural Mountains, if they still pay attention to these things such as benevolence and faithfulness, there is no way to survive, because survival is the most important, and everything else is secondary.

The surrounding tribal chiefs were nodding their heads, they acknowledged Levi's words, and even the orc chiefs had no objections, they didn't mind who would be their leader.

As long as this leader can bring them victory and keep them alive, nothing else matters, and in the Ural Mountains, status brings not only power, but also pressure that can crush people.
