Chapter 1 The Prancing Horse Heavenly River

The light snow is beginning to melt, spring returns to the earth, and the gale is still bitterly cold. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The 600,000 imperial army was like a long whip, slapping on the snow-covered fields, knocking through the frozen earth, as if striking the first thunder of spring.

I led a mighty army to crisscross the territory of Aruton at will, breaking the city, occupying the city at every time, as if entering a no-man's land, in less than a month, a large territory was all my land, and the iron cavalry was invincible!

On April 12, 1901 in the Saint-Lun calendar, I met with the Knights of Zoraci at Wichb, five hundred miles from Constantinburgh.

At this point, the total strength of the imperial army in the territory of the Northern Capital regime exceeded 700,000, and it was known to the outside world as a million-strong army, which was an unprecedented large-scale expedition in the history of the empire, both in terms of quantity and quality.

After a brief rest, our troops began to advance towards the core towns of Arutun.

In less than a week, four important military towns near the vicinity of Gunkadingburg were lost one after another, and our army finally entered the plain near the Tianhe River valley.

This piece of fertile plain landform is called "Great Tianhe Plain", also known as "Tianyuan", before the "Bailing War", it was known as "Little Meinste", the green fields are like the sea in spring and summer, and the yellow grass flies and rolls in autumn, and now it is the end of winter and the beginning of spring, so it is still a piece of silver, and the snow dyes the earth.

In the northern part of Amagahara is a gentle line of mountains covered with snow and ice that spreads out to the west, and because it is the time when the mountains are covered by heavy snow, the fir forests at the southern foot are still covered with snow trees and silver flowers.

In addition, compared with the Great Tianhe Plain, there is also a small Tianhe Plain, but it is located in the territory of the Barbarian Eagle Eagle Country, which is the most important base of the barbarians, and it is also the land where the barbarians have lived for generations and the place where life is nurtured, and is called the "Holy Plain" by the barbarians.

At this time, a barbarian army of about 200,000 people suddenly appeared in the rear of our army, trying to cut off the supply lines of our army, so the two armies started a fierce battle near the frozen Tianhe.

At the beginning of the battle, the enemy army first used 30,000 lightly armored barbarian cavalry archers to launch a surprise attack on our army - these terrible cavalry archers trained from hunting in the jungle and hunting in the steppes were all holding large bows twice as strong as ordinary imperial archers, and the range and penetration of arrows were also twice as strong, even the shields of our heavy infantry could not resist, and in an instant, several rows of imperial soldiers had fallen in succession!

Without allowing our army to have a chance to breathe, the enemy immediately threw 80,000 barbarian troops and 60,000 rhinoceros orc troops into battle......

"What a terrible brute force! The impact of the rhinoceros orcs rivaled that of the heavy cavalry, while the barbarian infantry seemed to be warriors from the Paleolithic Age...... Uncivilized enemies with strange powers can sometimes be difficult to deal with - a combat power that can only be matched by vampire troops! I sat on the divine beast "Thunder Department" and sighed leisurely.

Drink, who was following me, said with a stinking face when he heard this, "How do you compare these well-limbed, simple-minded barbarians to our noble vampire clan? We are not empty of power, whether it is the way we kill people or the way we attack, we are much more elegant and graceful than them! ”

"Yes, if the horrific way of killing vampires can also be called 'elegant' and 'beautiful'! And you've existed much older than the Paleolithic people......"

I brushed my fingers over my lips and then pursed my lips and smiled—when this smile, which was later called "Teshumi's smile," appeared on my face, I raised my hand and immediately ordered the scattered light and heavy infantry to retreat and regroup slightly, and the "Purple Thunder" and the regular heavy cavalry were in front, using chariots and heavy cavalry to set up an iron wall, and then ordered the light cavalry to cooperate and finally block the enemy's attack.

At this time, repair. The "Red Storm" demon cavalry led by Belmont and the vampire troops of Drinker suddenly slashed out from both flanks, instantly cutting into the barbarian troops, bringing a bloody storm of chaos!

Even the most powerful barbarian warriors had to stop for a while, reorganize and rearm their defenses, and avoid being torn in half by the empire.

Then, I suddenly ordered the whole army to begin an orderly retreat to the east, and the "Red Storm" and vampire troops also immediately retreated, covering the withdrawal of our main forces.

At this moment, the barbarian troops suddenly parted to the sides, and a large number of middle- and lower-level demonic beasts surged out of it—these demonic beasts, which were three meters tall when they walked upright, as thick as wild bears, covered in black or dark green scales, with long and sharp claws and fangs, and covered with viscous green disgusting liquid, with two or three heads, one or three eyes, or four eyes, let out an earth-shattering roar, driving the rolling thunder that hit the surface of the ice, and rushed towards our army with great momentum.

Although there is still some distance to go, it has already created a terrifying heavy pressure on the Imperial Army!

The original intention of the barbarian army should be to use the Warcraft army as the secret weapon of this Tianhe battle, right? I planned to throw Warcraft into Warcraft when the battle with our army was in a stalemate to achieve a decisive victory, but now seeing that our army suddenly retreated, I thought that the defeat of the Imperial Army was certain, so I planned to use the Warcraft troops to pursue the victory, give our army the most violent blow, and not give the Imperial Army any chance to breathe and regroup.

This was originally a fairly correct strategy, and the commander of the barbarian army, who had always been despised as an uncivilized barbarian state and had no brute force but lacked wisdom, was able to have such an excellent tactical mind and adopt such a clear-sighted and well-layered tactic, which could indeed impress the people of the world, and swept away the perception that the barbarians in the past only knew how to fight to the death and did not understand tactical coordination.

However, it was too late - by this time the Imperial Army had already retreated to the east bank of the Tianhe River......

"The enemy's ability to expel demonic beasts is truly incredible! There are so many Warcraft, I'm afraid there are more than 40,000, right? If we confront our army head-on, I am afraid that our army will suffer heavy casualties...... "Return to Xiu on my left." Belmont exclaimed.

"It is said that these Warcraft troops are led by ten summoners in the barbarian race, and the barbarian summoners themselves are aliens, with extremely strong mental power, but extremely poor protection, and they have no characteristics of ordinary barbarians at all, perhaps the existence of barbarian summoners is simply a reaction against the characteristics of the barbarian race.

I'm afraid you'll need five or six summoners to drive 40,000 demonic beasts......" The vampire girl to my right licked the blood of the barbarian soldier on her slender jade finger with her tongue, but a cute smile appeared on her face that was the opposite of her terrible behavior, once again showing off her profound knowledge.

"Miss Earl knows so much...... "Xiu." When Belmont heard Drink's words, he wanted to admire and follow the prestige, but saw the girl next door licking the bright red blood, and the famous general's face couldn't help but become a little ugly.

I flicked the mane that straddled the thunder, a smile that seemed to be idle, a cold smile, inadvertently brought a graceful arc to the side of my mouth, and then ordered to the sides in a flat voice: "It's time!" Vivien, Ruri, and Daisie, please dance the most gorgeous and dazzling dance on the ice floor! It's time to teach the barbarians who don't know etiquette a lesson, don't let the aliens bully the empire! ”

At this time, the demonic beast had already reached the center of the Tianhe River, which was covered with thick ice, and was preparing to cross the river and rush towards our army.

And the elven warriors and the archers led by Deyisi are already waiting for their bows!

After only hearing a continuous and crisp "jumping" bowstring sound, countless black arrows with a sharp "whoosh" sound, like a black wind, blew towards the group of monsters!

However, these arrows could only inflict negligible damage on the fleshy monsters, and instead made them become furious and rush in the direction of the Imperial Army even more frantically - if these monsters were allowed to come into contact with the Imperial Army, they would probably cause incalculable casualties to our army!

The situation became quite serious, and the hearts of the Imperial soldiers couldn't help but tense in unison!

And the barbarian soldiers behind the monster group let out a burst of "tsk" mockery, as if they were laughing at the stupidity of the imperial army to provoke the monsters......

However, just as the barbarian soldiers got carried away, Dai Yisi's continuous dozen powerful arrows caused them to fall into the abyss of despair - she accurately captured the figures of five barbarians in dark cyan robes in the group of demonic beasts, and then used the "Bow of the Moon God" to mount the dark iron arrows, and traveled a long distance to the vital parts of the five barbarian summoners with extremely poor protection!

And under the cover of the rain of arrows in the sky, the barbarian warriors who were responsible for protecting the summoner were also confused, and their movements were even slower by half a beat, and before they had time to react, they had already watched the target of their protection fall to death!

At the same time, Vivien's mage group began to launch a fireball attack on the Warcraft troops!

But seeing countless fireballs with raging flames falling into the group of demonic beasts like meteors, the demonic beasts who are naturally afraid of fire couldn't help but become crazy.

And even more terrifying things followed, the fireball directly broke and melted the ice on the surface of the Tianhe River after falling to the ground, revealing the turbulent and icy water!

The ice under the feet of the demonic beasts was broken, and countless demonic beasts fell into the ice cellar like a death trap, and the whirlpool of the glacier directly swallowed the lives of these demonic beasts who were expelled by humans to fight, but finally ran to death!

Seeing the death of their companions, the monsters in the back finally developed the fear of death, and began to turn around like crazy and flee in the direction of the barbarian soldiers, and frantically attacked and devoured the soldiers who blocked their retreat.

The barbarian troops who lost their summoners could no longer stop the madness and violence of the Warcraft herd, and they suffered a terrible backlash from the Warcraft herd, and a bloody huge wound was torn open by the Warcraft herd!

I saw that on the bloodstained ice, countless severed limbs and blurred flesh and blood of the barbarian soldiers were thrown down, and the screams of the soldiers before they died looked extremely miserable on the empty land, and even the soldiers of our army who lived on the east bank also felt creepy and a chill that penetrated their backs because they witnessed the crazy dance of this demonic beast, and they couldn't help but turn blue and sweat in their palms!

"It's horrible! If it was our army and not the enemy army who faced the monsters, how many people would be able to survive here? Looking at the barbarian soldiers who were constantly rushing to death, Azelio couldn't help but change color.

I smiled coldly and said, "Aze, now is not the time to lament death, because the nightmare of the enemy army has just begun!" ”

By this time, the barbarian soldiers had fallen into a fear of death—even the inferior people, who were described by the world as having no idea what fear was, could not get rid of the biological instinct of fear of death and the desire to live, and fear spread rapidly throughout the army like a contagious disease.

They began to retreat frantically and desperately, no matter how much the tall and rugged black-armored general shouted and cursed, it was impossible to reunite the sluggish morale, and it was impossible to stop the soldiers from scattering and fleeing.

However, after some raging and fierce battles with barbarian soldiers, the demonic beasts were already killed and wounded, and the remaining hundreds of demonic beasts were scattered on the vast ice field.

And the barbarian army suffered heavy casualties, and at this time, the only force that was able to maintain a complete formation was a force of 10,000 people around the black armor general - but, as I said, the tragic fate of the barbarian soldiers had just begun!

At the same time, I raised my right hand and made a gesture to signal the fireworks of the offensive signal, which were immediately launched into the air......

I saw that in the northerly direction of the barbarian troops, countless imperial cavalry wearing armor as bright as snowflakes and reflecting the icy winter sun suddenly rushed out from the northern foot of the mountain forest and slaughtered the barbarian soldiers like raging silver waves!

It turned out that the 100,000 "Silver Tassel" iron cavalry led by Zolachi had already circled from the upper reaches of the glacier to the side of the barbarian troops and the snow forest at the southern foot of the snow mountain on the west bank of the Tianhe River from the beginning of the enemy's attack, and used the ice mound and snow forest of the same color as the armor to cover up and hide, and then saw the time when the melee between man and beast ended, and immediately appeared as a strange soldier under my command, but I saw the 100,000 iron cavalry running together with their hooves raised, stepping on the rolling thunder, and instantly approached the barbarian army formation!

First, the cavalry archer fired a round of arrows into the enemy bush, then the cavalry archer quickly separated to the two wings, and the lancers set up their spears with a cold silver light and plunged into the barbarian soldiers, and then the knife cavalry immediately launched a hand-to-hand combat with the enemy!

As soon as they came into contact, the battle situation was one-sided - the barbarian soldiers, who were only 10,000 in number and had already been frightened, were powerless to resist the momentum of the "Silver Silk" Knights, and were killed more than half in an instant!

And the barbarian black-armored cavalry general, after several rounds of confrontation with Zolaqi, was cut off by Zolaqi's head!

Then Zolachi led the light cavalry to chase and kill all the way, killing the remnants of the enemy army to the ground of corpses and bloody ice fields!

After the battle, after the baptism of blood, more than 150,000 corpses of barbarian soldiers were left on the ground, and the blurred flesh and blood were mixed with the wreckage and black blood of the demonic beasts, witnessing this tragic war, like the remnants of a battlefield tragedy......

However, this was only the curtain of another, even more massive "Battle of Amagahara" a few days later, and it was only a small prologue compared to the war in the near future......

On the 3rd of May, our army had advanced less than a hundred miles from Constantinburg, and all the nearby towns had surrendered, and Constantinburg had undoubtedly become an isolated city.

The Great Tianhe Plain stretches from the Tianhe River Valley to the vicinity of Constantinodeenburg - with Constantinodiburg as the center, radiating to the surrounding areas, it is a rich land in the northern part of the original empire, animal husbandry and planting are quite developed, and before the rise of Meinster smelting mining, it was the most important mineral smelting center of the empire, and the Yinghui family once owned half of the mining rights here.

After the division of the empire, the Sakura Hui family was forced to withdraw most of their resources, suffered heavy economic losses, and was caught off guard by the Dida Chamber of Commerce.

But there are no big cities around it, except for Constantinburgh, and it is mainly dotted with towns and villages.

In the spring, everything is recovering, the plants and trees are new, the flowers are blooming, and the hinterland of Tianyuan is a new green, and the small flowers mixed with white, yellow, red, purple and blue are like the twinkling stars embroidered on the vivid green brocade, radiating full of vitality.

When the fresh spring breeze blows, the green grassland will roll like a green wave, with a faint fragrance of grass leaves and a thin moisture.

As far as the eye can see, the clear blue sky is floating with white clouds, like clumps of cotton wool pinched into irregular shapes, and like groups of sheep leisurely eating grass and drawing water.

This was supposed to be a season of tranquility and vitality, but in the crisp sound of the iron hooves of the Imperial Army, the music of death was played......

In the evening of this day, in a village near the garrison of our army, a sharp murderous aura suddenly emerged, and then a brilliant and dazzling golden pillar of light soared into the sky, dispelling all the clouds, and the sky that was originally reflected red by the sunset also instantly turned into a brilliant gold, and then, with the golden pillar of light as the center, countless golden floating clouds continued to converge, which was a spectacle.

In the flow of floating clouds, a golden flying dragon can be faintly seen......

The Imperial horses neighed in terror and became unusually restless and irritable, and if it weren't for the soldiers' best efforts to appease and tie down the horses, they would have gone berserk.

The Imperial soldiers all felt the powerful and inexplicable aura coming from the village, as if they had been squeezed by a powerful force, and some soldiers with weak willpower couldn't help but start trembling, and even the faces of the Imperial generals who witnessed this vision showed a look of surprise!

Everyone looked at each other, and the same thought came to their hearts: Could it be that this humble village hides the mysterious and powerful reinforcements of the enemy? We've fallen into a trap......

"What's going on?"

I stared closely at the village and the wonders that appeared in the sky, and that terrifying aura made strong people like me feel a faint tremor in the depths of my heart, and more doubts and uneasiness in the face of mysterious and unpredictable variables, as well as an inexplicable strange sense.

The generals also quickly gathered around me, but they were all shocked and frightened, and everyone stared at each other, and no one could explain why.

"Excalibur is born!" Drinker suddenly said in a solemn voice.

"Your Excellency...... You say it's Excalibur? In this small village in the middle of nowhere? Azelio asked, confused.

"Yes, only the rare and unparalleled Excalibur is about to appear in the world, so it has such momentum! The golden mangs are the gathering of sword qi, and the golden dragon is the condensation of sword spirits! ”

Drinker nodded, a faint voice sounded, but there was a solemn look on his face, "But I don't know if there is a sword of the Lord or a sword of no Lord......"

I said, "It's indeed sword qi!" But why is it at this time, in this place? ”

"Could it be...... Is it really the enemy? The strength of the master of the Excalibur must surpass that of the Sword Master! Xiu Belmont said awe-inspiringly.

"The divine sword was born, if the sword master is here, I am afraid that he has god-level power!" Drinker said.

God-level ......

Could it be the gods? The gods also want to meddle in my war with Aruton!?

The power of God is not comparable to the armies of the human realm, and if there are masters of the divine realm who oppose me, then my troops will definitely ......

I thought so, but I didn't say it, but instead turned my inquiring gaze to Deyisi beside me.

Upon contact with my gaze, Deys immediately understood what I meant, shook her head lightly, and said in an affirmative voice, "It's not them...... I don't feel the breath of the strong. ”

Hearing the response of the successor of the Moon Goddess, who was born with a keen sense of the power of the gods, I was a little calm, but suddenly I realized that I also have things to fear! Both Zeus, the god king, and the Dark Demon King, the lord of the demons, are terrifyingly powerful beyond imagination, and the creation gods who transcend the two and represent absolute power and existence - these are the enemies I will have to face sooner or later, if I can advance to that point......

In the past, these gods and demons were so far away from me that I never really felt this threat; And today, when I suddenly realized that a master with god-level power might be lurking around me, I strongly realized the insignificance of my own strength......

Although I have incredible power, this power is not something I can control and grasp now - after all, human power is limited by the physical body, and the nine-element nuclear power in the nine dimensions of my body can only be transmitted outward through the fragile meridians of my body, and once I exceed the limit of the meridians, I will ignite the fire*!

Although I have continued to expand and strengthen my meridians through cultivation, strengthening their strength and resilience, the power I can use is still only a drop in the ocean......

I shook my head violently and thought: whatever! Whether it's the God King, the Dark Demon God King, or the Creation God, my encounter with them can only wait until the distant future, even if it is a duel with the gods or demons, there is still a long time, and these are not what I should care about now.

Moreover, in the war on the Holy Continent, I will still face countless strong enemies and crises, and it is very likely that I will have fallen before I have the strength to fight the gods and demons......

Now, there's only one thing I have to do: sweep through the obstacles and reclaim my beloved!

With my mind certain, I immediately turned to the generals and said, "Let me go and see for myself what is blocking the progress of the Imperial Army and shaking the morale of my millions of Imperial soldiers!" ”

Azelio's face changed, and he exclaimed: "Your Majesty, don't take risks lightly, let the ministers lead a large army into the village!" ”

I shook my head and said, "The small village cannot accommodate a large army, and if there are really strong people, the entry of small groups of soldiers will only add to the useless casualties."

However, Dai Yisi doesn't feel the aura of a strong man in it, so we don't need to make a big fanfare, worry about the sky, and be the laughing stock of the world.

Rest assured, I'll bring in with the masters of Deyisi, Kasta, and the 'Ears of the Yellow Dragon', and I won't be brave. ”

Speaking of this, I sighed lightly and said in an awe-inspiring tone: "I didn't risk my life when I went in, because in front of me, it doesn't matter if it's dangerous!" ”

After saying that, he ordered Vivien and Gandalf to lead the group of magicians and the "Green Light", use spiritual magic to stabilize the minds of the soldiers and horses, and then led Deyith, Drink, Casta and others towards the village.
