Volume 4 The Burning Grassland Chapter 162 The Battle of Moon Bay Fort (3)
The sudden invasion of the Sea Tribes made the situation in the northern grasslands even more chaotic.
After the Wolf Overseer led the Bloodfang Cavalry Regiment north and wiped out several mercenary groups one after another, the decline of the Beamon Empire in the northern grasslands was stopped. At this moment, the wolf leader overseer personally led the troops to attack Fort Riptide, if they can defeat the Red Flame Dragon Mercenary Group, the largest mercenary force on the grassland, and recapture Fort Riptide, the morale of the Beamon Empire will be high and they will completely occupy the initiative on the grassland. But now that the Sea Clan has entered the Koukou and the Moon Bay Fort has fallen, the Wolf Leader Overseer has to change its combat objectives.
The strength of the sea tribe far exceeds that of the land race, but due to the physiological structure, the vast majority of the sea tribe cannot stay on land for a long time. Every time the Sea Clan attacked the land, once they were far away from the sea and deep inland, they could almost only camp in rivers and lakes or rely on the Sea Clan magicians to spend a lot of magic to condense the water barrier, rest and replenish in the water barrier, and then attack and fight. The limitations of the land area made it difficult for the Sea Clan army to ensure its whereabouts on the mainland, and the mainland countries could easily judge the location of the army and then deal with it calmly, and the only way to fight with the help of water barriers greatly limited the Sea Clan's combat effectiveness.
In addition, the four major sea empires in the southeast, northwest, and northwest that surround the Norsenside continent are called empires, but they are essentially loose federations. Because the various seas that make up the territory of the Sea Clan Empire are actually ruled by the lords of each sea. And these sea lords are constantly attacking each other, and the contradictions are extremely deep. Several times in the Sea Clan's previous land raids were defeated due to internal turmoil.
Due to various factors, the Sea Clan has not been able to successfully conquer the mainland.
In the long course of history, there have been constant wars between the sea races and the land races. Because the Sea Clan was bent on turning the Northumbed Continent into a vast ocean country, the war between the Sea Clan and the Lu Clan became a war of extinction. Therefore, the hatred between the two sides is too great to be resolved.
For the Mongolian Empire, the mercenary rebellion in the grasslands of northern Xinjiang was just a disease of scabies, but the entry of the Sea Clan into the Gang was a problem for the henchmen. Therefore, not only did the Wolf-Headed Overseer immediately lead the army besieging Riptide Fort to retreat and attack Moonbay Fort instead, but in terms of the four major military forts of Boulder Fort, Warsong Fort, Thorn Castle, and Wind Crack Fort, which were still occupied by the Beamon Empire, except for the Wind Crack Fort, which was unable to mobilize manpower because of the fierce conflict with the elemental creatures in the Wind Crack Canyon, Boulder Fort, War Song Fort, and Thorn Fort all sent reinforcements to meet with the Wolf-Headed Overseer's army outside Moon Bay Fort and participate in the battle against the Sea Clan. The reinforcements sent by the three major military forts were all blood-toothed wolf cavalry without exception. Since there were two wings of blood-toothed wolf cavalry in Boulder Fort, one of them was sent this time. Warsong Castle and Thornhorn Castle each had a blood-toothed wolf cavalry wing, so they sent two of their brigades respectively. Fury Wind originally had 25,000 men and horses, but now with the 4,500 Bloodtooth Wolf Cavalry who came to help and the hundreds of remnants of the original Yuewan Fort defenders, the strength in his hands has reached 30,000, which is comparable to the strength of the invading Sea Clan.
In addition, it is rumored that the leader of the Kouhai Clan this time is a Saint-rank powerhouse like the Tide Lord, so the Seven-Star Sword Saint Steel Scythe has also temporarily suspended the task of investigating the suspected god-level dragon, and instead rushed to Moon Bay Castle to prepare to deal with the Tide Lord.
Ten days later.
The night is low and the stars are sparse.
It was midnight at this time, but the orc army was commanding twenty miles away from Moon Bay Fort
In the tent, it was brightly lit.
Immediately after the last orc reinforcements arrived, the Wolf Overseer convened a pre-battle military meeting overnight.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have received definite information that there is no sign of a major invasion by the Sea Clan of the North Sea. This Sea Clan invasion is just the personal behavior of the Tide Lord, and the battlefield is limited to Moon Bay Fort!" Furious Wind said in a deep voice as he looked around at the group of orc officers.
"What is Staidelonger mad about? It only lost the battle with the Quicksand Lord last year, and it has come to provoke us this year? If it does not have the support of the other lords of the North Sea Clan, especially the royal family of Viku, what can it use to face our counterattack? Even if we are fighting the mercenaries, the military strength of the Tidal Sea Leader alone will not be able to resist our Bimon Empire's Northern Army!" said Fingleton, the head of the Blood Fang Cavalry Regiment.
Originally, Fingleton had been sitting in Boulder Fort, but this time the Sea Clan invasion was a big matter, and under the conscription of Fury, Fingleton personally led the first wing of the Blood Fang Cavalry Regiment stationed in Boulder Fort to help.
"In addition, it is known that Städellonger was bitten by the Lord of Quicksand during last year's battle. Although the sea dragon is naturally resistant to poison and immune to many toxins, the Lord of the Quicksand is said to be a descendant of the legendary giant beast of Sea Clan mythology, the 'Serpent of the World' Jörmungandr, whose venom is so poisonous that the sea dragon cannot withstand it. But according to those who had seen Stadrolon on the battlefield that day, Stadrolanger easily killed Manggult after he appeared, and there was no sign of poisoning!" Speaking of this, he said to a haggard-faced tiger general in the military account: "Curry, tell me what you saw that day!"
"Yes, sir!" Curry replied, a hoarse voice with a hint of exhaustion.
Curry was one of the few survivors of the Battle of Fort Moonbay on the orc side. At that time, after seeing the Tide Lord rushing out of the seabed, Curry knew that nothing could be done, and with the cultivation of the Great Swordsman, he finally got rid of the entanglement of Shak, the head of the Sea Clan's Blood Shark Knights, and escaped from Moonbay Fort. Curry was also the only one of the four orc generals at Moonbay Castle to escape. As for the other two orc generals, like Manggult, they were both killed in the Battle of Moon Bay Fort.
Curry slowly recounted the battlefield scene of the orcs defeated after Stadelonger's appearance, and the orc officers in the tent all listened intently. After Curry finished speaking, Fury turned his head to look at the seven-star sword saint who was sitting upright and closed his eyes.
Although the eyes of the steel sickle are closed, the perception is extremely keen. When the eyes of the Wolf Leader Overseer fell on him, he opened his eyes, met the gaze of the Wolf Head Overseer, smiled confidently, and said, "Lord Fury, even if Steidellonger is not poisoned and his strength is not damaged, I will be able to deal with it on the battlefield at that time!"
"Alright, Steelsickle-sama, that's hard work!" Fury nodded after receiving a satisfactory answer.
Fort Moonbay.
In the battle a dozen days ago, Moon Bay Fort was badly damaged. At this moment, the devastated Moon Bay Fort was covered by a huge hemispherical transparent shield visible to the naked eye. Under the light of the stars and moon, the flow of water was faintly visible in the shield.
This giant shield is the water barrier of the sea tribe. The Water Enchantment is filled with a huge amount of seawater, and now the entire Moon Bay Fort is submerged in the seawater.
In Moon Bay
On a section of the castle wall, which is still intact, a fat man in brocade clothes and a strong man in green clothes are standing side by side with their hands behind their backs, looking at the orc military camp in the distance. Around the two of them, an invisible force field held up, isolating the sea water in the water barrier.
Both the fat man and the strong man have the appearance of a human being. Among them, the fat man is a real human being, but the strong man has a dragon power hidden around him, which shows that his real body is not human.
The fat man was the one who stopped the army of the Quicksand Lords at the junction of the Tides Sea and the Quicksand Sea, and the strong man was the Tidelord Stadrunge. After capturing the Moon Bay Fort, Stadronger's huge sea dragon real body was very difficult to move in the Moon Bay Castle, so in order to facilitate his movement, he used 'Transfiguration' to transform into a human form.
"As you wish, after I capture Moon Bay Fort, the siege of Riptide Fort will be immediately resolved! It's just that I don't understand that when the Wolf Leader Overseer led the army to besiege Riptide Fort, there were no Saint-rank powerhouses in the army. If you, the Sword Master, want to secretly attack and kill the Wolf Leader Overseer, it shouldn't be too difficult. As soon as the wolf-headed overseer is dead, the orcs will inevitably retreat, and you will be able to relieve the siege of Riptide Fort yourself!, but you have gone to this point to let me send troops to capture Fort Moonbay, and use such a troublesome way to divert the attention of the wolf-headed overseer to relieve the siege of Riptide Fort, I don't know why?" Stedelonger looked at the fat man beside him and asked with a puzzled expression.
"I just don't want people to know for the time being, the leader of the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Regiment is a Sword Master!" the fat man said with a smile.
"Really?" said Stadlonger's tone of disbelief.
The fat man also seemed to know that this reason would not convince Stadlong, he smiled again, and said: "I don't want people to know that my true strength is indeed the main reason! I just want to keep my head in the dark, and I don't want to provoke the Beamon Empire's Saint-Rank powerhouse." Of course, if I have the opportunity to kill an orc Overseer, I won't let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!, but I'm not very sure that I can kill Furywind!"
Stadelong's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The fat man further explained, "Fury Wind has the 'Axis of Time and Space' in his hands...... Imitation!" When he heard the words 'Axis of Time and Space', Stadlong's breathing suddenly increased, and a look of greed flashed in his eyes. But when the fat man spat out the word "imitation", Stadtellong's face twitched, and then returned to normal.
The 'Axis of Time and Space' is one of the famous artifacts in the mainland, and some people have even classified it as an epic artifact. The 'Axis of Time and Space' is a space-like artifact that can instantly break through space and pass the envoy away.
When the spatial power of the 'Axis of Time and Space' is completely activated, only the domain power released by a Saint-level powerhouse above the Golden Rank can delay and affect it. It can be said that with the 'Axis of Time and Space', and as long as there is enough strength to stimulate its full power, then when facing a Saint-level powerhouse below the Golden Rank, even if it can't be defeated, it will be easy to escape. Therefore, when Städellonge first heard the news of the 'Axis of Time and Space', he couldn't help but be moved, and even had the idea of visiting the orc camp at night, waiting for an opportunity to snatch it from the wolf-headed overseer. However, after figuring out that what the Wolf-Leader Overseer had in his hands was only a replica of the 'Axis of Time and Space', he became less interested. After all, for a saint-level powerhouse like him, an artifact imitation with reduced performance still lacked enough appeal. At least its value couldn't match the danger of his breaking into the orc barracks and looting.
