The water of the Sharon River rushed from the upper reaches of the Carondello Mountains, and when it entered the plains of Bethlehem, some of them brought with them unthawed ice, and the turbulent water rushed all the way to the middle of the plains, turning into thousands of trickles, and it was relatively gentle when it passed under the city of Beiselen, but now, the usually mild currents were full of abandoned armor, panicked and fleeing orcs, howling and screaming, blood and sweat making the place almost as noisy as boiling water. 【Fengyun Reading Network.】

The hundreds of pontoon bridges simply could not accommodate tens of thousands of people, and from time to time a large number of soldiers were pushed into the water and then swallowed in the river that swept downstream.

Luo Lan's Chinese army was not in a hurry to pursue, but attacked from two sides with the knights led by Marshall, completely crushing the right flank of the orcs, who had no fighting spirit, and calmly harvesting every fresh life at the tail of the rout.

The aristocratic slave owners who were being oppressed by the bitter oppression were already desperate, and they were constantly cursing the God of Light in their hearts, who knew that as soon as the pressure was lightened, the fierce orcs suddenly threw down the flag, and then turned around and ran, this scene made them stunned, and almost thought that what appeared in front of them was just an illusion caused by their excessive nervousness.

However, when they received the herald's report, they learned that the Bishop's Chinese army had already crushed the orc formation head-on, and the orc shaman was killed on the spot by the Bishop, which undoubtedly hit their minds again, and their thoughts that were already in chaos had become unconscious.

8,000 men to defeat 50,000 orcs?

If it's not that they're crazy, the world is crazy.

But when they looked at the orc soldiers who had retreated like a chaotic tide by the Shahong River, they had to believe that all this was true. But they soon became agitated from their confusion to excitement, and the orc slaves were only owned by the upper nobles on the continent of Apollo. They glanced at each other, and their expressions gradually became fanatical, and they gathered the remnants of the guards hastily, and rushed towards the river beach at an unprecedented speed, frantically capturing the lone orcs.

Just as Luo Lan's side was preparing to take advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate the remnants of the orcs by the Shahong River in one fell swoop, everyone heard a strange sound, and their faces gradually became difficult to look at, and the orcs who fled showed a look of ecstasy and joy. The black dragon under Luo Lan turned his huge body and cast his fierce eyes to the north.

Rows of armies of orcs with no end in sight appeared on the undulating plains, and the huge bodies of a dozen Komodo beasts looked like reefs standing in the ocean, and the sound of war drums that shook souls gradually became clear.

The follow-up army of orcs has arrived.

"The whole team!"

Luo Lan let out a loud shout, and the dragon under the seat spun in place, making a loud rumbling sound.

Several Templar swordsman captains wiped the blood from their faces, threw away the blunt slashing swords in their hands, and silently took another from the hands of the squires behind them, looking into the distance with solemn expressions.

Marshall felt bitter in his mouth, and he licked his salty lips. With a reins of the horse, he turned his head and shouted: "Meet the enemy!"

The aristocratic slave owners were stunned at first, and their mood went from heaven to hell, and they all regretted it, they knew that this would be the case, why did they come out again? With the current state of exhaustion, where can they have the physical strength to support another battle, a noble old man pointed to the orcs who had just been captured, gritted his teeth, and said: "Kill them all!"

The others were stunned for a moment, and then came to their senses. Couldn't help but say, "Kill them all!"

The guards stepped forward without hesitation, and killed all the hundreds of orcs in a short time.

Looking at the corpses, the nobles sighed, they had to do this, otherwise they would not be able to control these slaves when the two armies engaged. Maybe in the blink of an eye, you will become the slave of the other party. So they still admire their own decisiveness, however, they will soon regret the decision they made.

Everyone could only watch as the remaining orcs crossed the pontoon bridge and fled into the distance.

Marshall glanced at the earth Luo Lan sitting on the back of the dragon, and the divine light that emitted pierced him so that he couldn't look directly, and his mood couldn't help but relax a little, and he secretly sighed, if it was because of the existence of Lord Bishop. Then their fighting spirit has long been gone.

The orc army also noticed the anomaly from afar. Luo Lan, who was riding the dragon, was so conspicuous that a blazing sun seemed to fall on the earth. The light was shining, and the armor and swords all reflected dazzling light, which couldn't help but make them fearful. Seeing the defeated army fleeing, the orc general decisively ordered to stop the advance and forced the rout to flee to both wings to prevent the formation from being scattered.

The orc commander looked coldly ahead, the 60,000 army spread out behind him, and the five great shamans and hundreds of witch priests exuded rich elemental fluctuations, and the light flickered, as if they were faintly demonstrating to Luo Lan.

At this moment, a long horn sound drifted in the wind.

The orc commander stared at him, turned his head to look west, first the figure of a knight appeared on the horizon, and then one figure after another appeared on his side, and under the clouds, a black line almost paved to both ends of the heavens and the earth.

Alexander rode out of the array, looked at the two facing each other at the bottom of the slope, let out a long sigh of relief, a flash of light in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Friend, I'm here." ”

Columns of cavalry sped past him, rushing towards the enemy like dark clouds.

Feeling the rumbling sound, Luo Lan looked at the cavalry rushing down the mountains and fields, and his heart drifted to the sky, where the heavy clouds had been washed by the scorching sun, and the light was like silk, splashing deep in the earth. He knew that he had won the battle of Norselen, and that from now on, the whole of Bethlehem would be at the poles of light and darkness at the same time, reading the decrees of the gods.

The arrival of the Denton Lun army halted the advance of the orc legions, and after several engagements, they won and lost each other, but who would have thought that the war, which was expected to last for a long time, ended in only two weeks.

The orc army threw down a large number of baggage and hurriedly evacuated overnight.

Just when everyone was unclear, Luo Lan threw a meaningful word to Janice: "Do you know your cousin?"

Janice was silent. She suddenly understood the real reason for the retreat of the orc army, and a faint sense of powerlessness appeared in her heart, and she was even more afraid of the person who was already standing at the top of the world, and there was a trace of admiration.

A week later, news came from the north that the monarch of the Easton Empire, Odinnella I, the young emperor of the first northern power, was rumored to be seriously ill. Who knew that in just a few days, the situation suddenly changed, and those members of the royal family with heavy troops entered the imperial capital with joy, and they were all arrested by the guards loyal to the emperor, and a brutal political purge ensued.

At this time, people knew that all this was originally a ploy planned by His Majesty the Emperor.

However, this was not the end of the matter, Odinila I stabilized the situation in the imperial capital, and immediately mobilized a large army, and the army was directed at the orc kingdom.

Since most of the troops of the orc kingdom were pinned down in Beiselen, they were unable to resist Easton's pre-ready invasion, and they couldn't help but retreat. Soon the army was under the orc capital, and the wild heights were terrified, and diplomats had to be sent to sue for peace.

Odinilla I did not expect to completely exterminate the orc kingdom this time, because this was not his original intention, after demanding a large amount of war reparations, before the orc army returned home, he gave an order and decisively withdrew his troops.

The wealth that the orcs had accumulated over the years had been plundered, and they would not be able to take another step out of the wild heights for decades.

The strategic purpose of the young emperor has been achieved, subsequently. He turned his ambitious gaze to the Central Continent, which was the real goal in his mind. All the enemies who dragged down their hands and feet have been eradicated, and they are even more military and political power, and the authority of the monarch is in full swing, looking at the entire Apollo continent, who else can be their opponent?

The outcome of the Battle of Bethlehem soon spread throughout the continent. Bards even sang of the Bishop of Bethlehem riding the dragon of light. With the miracle of defeating the army of 100,000 orcs with 8,000 believers, for a while, the major forces turned their attention to the eastern continent.

But Luo Lan knows that no matter whether he wins or loses this battle, the biggest winner of this game is Odinella I, who is also the biggest manipulator hiding behind the scenes.

It can be said that except for the emperor himself, everyone has become a pawn on his chessboard.

But. Luo Lan didn't care. Because that's exactly what he wanted, and. This game of chess is not over yet, and it is really difficult to determine who is whose chess piece.

A week later, an inconspicuous caravan passed through the Great Wall of Somad, and a seductive female singer sang in the caravan, and the succubus song caused the guards to fall asleep.

For the first time in thousands of years, the northern gates of Olevia were opened to Bethlehem.

Alexander's army and the Marshall's Knights stationed at the Somad Wall that night, including the 30,000 city-state guards assembled on the wall, the baggage, ordnance, and property all fell into the hands of the invaders, and the soldiers from the Kingdom of Dantonlun were stunned by the piles of grain, and the generals of the five dependent principalities begged Alexander to invade the rich free city-states.

Alexander hesitated at first, but eventually under pressure from his subordinate nobles, he led tens of thousands of cavalry into the Olevia Peninsula.

Marshall had received a secret instruction from Luo Landi in advance, and although he did not understand it, he still obeyed this order, and honestly stationed himself at the Somadian Wall, and did not participate in the southern invasion of the Olevia Peninsula.

The free city-state did not expect the giant wall to be breached, and without defense, Alexander's army went all the way south, deep into the heart of the city-state, and after sacking more than a dozen cities, he sent a small group of cavalry to continue to circle the city as the main force, while he calmly left with wealth that filled almost every soldier's pocket.

It's not that he didn't think about controlling the free city-state, but now the king is not him, and rashly acting will make the situation more chaotic, and some big nobles will definitely not allow his strength to expand too quickly, and it is really impossible to say who will benefit in the end, not to mention that the vitality of the entire free city-state is not injured, and it is rumored that the ruling alliance has gathered an army of 60,000 to prepare to fight him to the death, so he had to sigh with great regret, and retreat when he saw it.

And this raid, the biggest beneficiary is Luo Lan, he not only weakened and suppressed the free city-state, but also firmly controlled the Somad wall, the threat of the Olevia Peninsula to himself was greatly reduced, and by the way, he sold Alexander a favor, there were thousands of nobles in the 30,000 city-state guards he captured, which was a huge ransom, and more importantly, he did not invade with the army of the Danton Lun Kingdom, that is, he conveyed a goodwill to the free city-state, and did not completely tear his face.

Soon after, Luo Lan returned to the 30,000 city-state guards, and the free city-states recognized his status and rights as the bishop of the Holy See of Light, and a week later, the Kingdom of Dantonlun and the Southwest Human Kingdom also sent emissaries to recognize the plains of Bethlehem as the territory of the Diocese of Light.

For a while, the pattern of the Eastern Continent has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is simply dazzling.

At this point, all the powerful enemies around Bethlehem were suppressed, weakened, or co-opted.

At this time, Luo Lan stood on the wall of Beiseleng, looking around, the vast plain was unobstructed, and the last son of the whole chess game was finally dropped by him!
