Lelouch went to the Fog Ash Province, which felt very good, and the construction of the entire empire was slowly on the right track, so it seemed that all that was left was to wait for the steady development of the overall power, and then wait until the time was ripe to launch a final campaign against Mordor, and then introduce the Second Age into a period of smooth transition, just like the previous era of Mordor.

But just as Lelouch had feared at the beginning, in the depths of the Fog Ash Province, where humanity had not yet explored, the two former enemies had united, and they relied on their remnants to prepare to defend their last homeland, and the way to fight would be in a way that Prince Feng had never expected.

...

In the outermost area of the Terran Pioneer Team, a small group of soldiers and a dozen armed immigrants were resting, they were sitting on the felled trees, setting up a fire, stewing the dry food and canned food they had brought, the garrison soldiers also took off their cloaks and helmets at this time, their weapons were casually put aside, holding steaming cans in their hands, which contained freshly cooked broth, and in the small boiler in front of them, there was a chowder mixed with various cans tumbling, and the tempting aroma filled the air.

The crowd was talking and laughing, and laughter came out from time to time, the atmosphere seemed harmonious and cheerful, their role was to keep moving forward, as the peripheral sentinel of the pioneer team, such sentinel points were arranged a lot in the periphery, mainly as early reconnaissance and early warning, but now the beastmen and aborigines have been defeated, and now they have no enemies in the Fog Ash Province, so the atmosphere will be so cheerful.

Moreover, they have sufficient logistics and supplies, without any shortage of goods, eat well, work easily, and naturally feel good.

"Captain, come on, come on, try the pickled pork that my mother brought me from the heaven-sent land, it is produced in the middle of the heaven-sent land, and the meat is much smoother than these wild boars. ”

A team member took out a large ball of cured meat from his backpack and handed it to the captain of this squad, the captain is an imperial captain, a grassroots officer of the empire, with greater rights than the imperial knights, but the status is lower than that of the imperial knights, and belongs to the more advanced existence in the infantry, he has a big beard, or the people in the entire fog and gray province prefer to grow beards, the imperial captain smiled and took the cigarette gun from his mouth, smashed it, smashed it, and the cured meat handed over by the team members.

The others ate the canned food, and watched greedily as the Imperial Captain took the pickled pork and prepared to chew it in his mouth, but when the Imperial Captain was about to eat it, he suddenly stopped, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the dense forest behind him, and his eyes took off their relaxation for a moment, and changed to a serious battle expression.

"Alert !!"

With the shout of the Imperial Captain, the crowd immediately ran, picked up their weapons, and looked cautiously at the dense forest around them back to back, and in the depths of the dense forest, a strange whimper sounded, which was like a horn sounded with a sheep's horn, this sound made the team members stunned, and the Imperial Captain instantly remembered the scene when he followed the large army to fight against the Beastmen half a year ago, and the Beastmen at that time also played such horns.

"Be careful, it's the remnants of the beastmen, send the signal quickly!"

One of the team members immediately ran to the middle of the group, took out a flare gun and pointed it at the sky, and was about to send a signal, but at this moment, a sharp arrow shot through the gap in the dense forest through the crowd and directly at the man's head, and the head without any armor was pierced in an instant, the man didn't seem to react, and then fell straight down with a dry face.

And with the arrival of this sharp arrow, the enemy in the dense forest finally appeared, they relied on the cover of the dense forest, advanced to a position very close to humans, when they rushed out of the shadows, the imperial captain only had time to roar angrily and pull the trigger on one of the enemies with his pistol in his hand, with a roar, one of the enemies on the opposite side fell in response, and when the smoke cleared, you could see that the fallen was a tall sheep-horned beastman, and behind him, there was a dense army of beastmen。

The rest of the human beings were turned out of the first round of attacks and had to change into melee weapons to prepare for battle, a garrison soldier did not wear a helmet, holding a halberd in both hands against a bullaur who rushed towards him and stabbed the weapon in his hand, but he was only directly knocked away by a stick in front of the powerful power of the beastman, and the two armed immigrants who rushed up behind him saw this scene with slender swords, and ran away behind him without thinking, and then were shot directly in the back by several sharp arrows.

The Beastmen didn't look at the fallen humans at all, and walked towards the remaining humans at their own pace, the Imperial Captain hid in a corner after firing a shot, desperately flicking in his ears were the voices of countless human battles and the wails before death, not everyone had the opportunity to be loaded like the Imperial Captain, they completely relied on individual melee combat that they were not good at fighting these Beastmen.

The Imperial Captain stood up from the ground with a bullet and was ready to continue firing, but the moment he stood up, a beastman outside jumped directly over and slashed the captain directly with the big knife in his hand, and the seriously injured Imperial Captain was lying on the ground coughing violently, he struggled to raise his head and look around, there were not many humans, almost all of them were about to be killed on the ground, he turned over, looked up and saw a tall beastman walking towards him, holding a huge battle axe in his hand.

The Captain of the Empire panicked and desperately backed away behind him, looking around in the middle of his retreat, hoping to find a weapon or two to defend himself against until he saw the flare gun lying next to a corpse not far away.

"Yes, even if you can't defeat these beastmen, you have to grab the flare gun and fire it!"

The Imperial Captain suddenly thought of his mission, before dying, the Imperial Captain ran towards the flare gun, but the footsteps of the beastman behind him were getting closer and closer, maybe the beastman wanted to play a game with him, the Imperial Captain actually got the flare gun, and when he was about to turn over and shoot the flare gun out, all he saw was the beastman's giant axe swinging high.

The head of the Imperial Captain continued to reverberate in mid-air, and he saw countless flare guns flying high in the entire dense forest, this scale was so large, almost the entire perimeter of the Pioneer Team was covered with such flares, although compared to the entire team, these teams that could fire signal flares were really few, but it was enough to notify the rear, and the Imperial Captain closed his eyes with confidence.

And with these flares, the countless logging teams and pioneer teams in the rear, which had almost no armed forces, fell into a fierce noise and battle, and the beastmen seemed to attack on a large scale again.

And on the ground, standing on the corpses of dead humans on the ground, a huge beastman roared at the sky with an axe, and around him, surrounded by a large number of beastman soldiers, and on the trees next to him, there were many wood spirits:

"Humans, you've been destroying our forests for too long, and today, prepare to accept the revenge of the people of the Grey Swamp. ”

The roar of the beastmen caused cheers, and the beastmen and the wood spirits raised their weapons and cheered loudly, the two former enemies of the beastmen and the wood spirits, under the strength of the human race, finally united, and unexpectedly launched a full-scale counterattack against the completely lax humans, this news is sweeping through the entire Fog Ash Province like a hurricane, and towards the core area of the Imperial Fog Ash Province.

At this time, in the border city of Fog Ash Province, a large number of officials are seeing off Wang Zifeng, now the fog and ash province must be a big event, Lu Luxiu needs Wang Zifeng to return to Baicheng to be responsible for other things, at this time, Wang Zifeng is officially proud, the results of the affairs of Fog Ash Province make Wang Zifeng very complacent, he can almost be said to have solved all the problems of Fog Ash Province like a cloud, except for some small mistakes in the lack of attention to the aborigines of the cat people, there is nothing else, now everything has been completed, and it is finally time to leave, Wang Zifeng looked at the city that is constantly developing, and estimated that he was waiting for a few months, you can start building the real capital of the Fog Ash Province.

"I hope that when I return here in a few years, I will be able to see the results of your work in the new capital of the Fog Gray Province, and I hope that you will continue to work hard to make the Fog Gray Province one of the new core territories of the Empire. ”

Wang Zifeng stood in front of the parting convoy, and instructed the officials who saw them off, the officials all nodded with a smile to show that they understood, Wang Zifeng looked at the sky after talking for a while, and felt that it was time to leave, and finally said:

"Okay, that's it, I'm going to leave now, and I hope I'll see you again in the future. ”

After Wang Zifeng said this, he turned around and boarded the gorgeous four-wheeled carriage on the side, but at this moment, a fast horse was extremely rare and rampaged directly on the road, in the face of this situation, all the officials present did not blame, even Wang Zifeng did not say much, because the back of the cavalry carried the three most urgent red collar flags, which are flags that only the most serious incidents will appear.

"Is something big going on?"

The officials chuckled in their hearts, and the guards guarding Wang Zifeng went up directly to the two Templars, they signaled the herald to stop immediately, and the herald also saw Wang Zifeng's existence, slowly lowered his speed, and finally stopped in front of Wang Zifeng, and immediately dismounted and ran towards Wang Zifeng, the Church Guards on the road did not block, this level of herald cannot be stopped by anyone.

"Oh no, my lord! Front..."

"Don't worry, speak slowly, take a sip of water first, what's going on ahead?"

Wang Zi Feng'an endured the bad thoughts in his heart, and let the herald take a breath first, and after taking a sip of water and suddenly gasping for a few breaths, the herald finally said:

"The pioneer team in front has been attacked by the remnants of the beastmen, and besides, the wood spirits are also on the side of the beastmen!"

"What?!"

The officials who heard this were shocked, and at the same time asked:

"How many of them are there, where did they come from, where did the fighting take place?"

"We don't know how many of them there were, but the entire front line of the pioneer team was under attack, and there were their beastmen in almost every place, and the front line team had completely withdrawn from the forest, and the front commander was on guard outside the woodland with the only troops he had, and at the same time sent me out to ask for help from the rear. ”

The herald's words made Wang Zifeng stunned: "There are beastmen on the whole line? Do you know what this means? This means that at least more than 500,000 beastmen are attacking us before they can attack on all fronts, are you sure you can be responsible for what you say?"

"My lord, it's true, how can a subordinate deceive you with such a thing?"

Wang Zifeng also felt that it was impossible for the herald to deceive himself with this kind of thing, but he really didn't dare to imagine where the alliance of 500,000 beastmen and wood spirits came from, this is 500,000 people, not 50 trees.

"Gather all the troops in the province at once, I will see them on the front line in the morning after tomorrow, and in addition, inform the rear, and say that we need at least 50,000, not 100,000, reserves that can support us at any time!"

Wang Zifeng now knew that he couldn't go, he gave his order very decisively, and the officials behind him immediately started to operate according to Wang Zifeng's order, Wang Zifeng looked at the crowd, and suddenly added:

"I don't care how many remnants of those sins on the other side are, but we were able to eliminate them without much effort last time, so we can do it now, is 500,000 a lot?

Wang Zifeng's calmness and domineering spirit quickly boosted morale, especially the guards around him, cheered loudly, and the officials also became a lot more stable, the pressure of 500,000 people did not seem to be so serious for them, and Wang Zifeng thought that with the help of the 150,000 regular troops mobilized by the limit of the Fog Ash Province, he was fully capable of mixing with the legendary 500,000 beastmen, not to mention defeating them, that would at least ensure that these beastmen and wood spirits could not fight.

It's just that sometimes some things don't go as smoothly as others think.

In the early morning two days later, on the plains at the edge of the Fog Gray Province, the dense human army gathered together, the flags danced all over the sky, and the 150,000 regular army completed the assembly in less than two days with their professional and efficient style, Wang Zifeng looked at the imperial army around him in the central tent, and his heart was bold, those beastmen on the opposite side, even if there were really 500,000 people, would not be the opponent of this legion at the moment.

Wang Zifeng was right, even the beastmen and wood spirits thought so, especially when the beastmen and wood spirits didn't have an army of 500,000 at all, so Wang Zifeng waited on the front line for seven days.

The beastmen and the wood spirits are gone again!
