Since the defeat of the coalition forces, humanity has understood that this war is no longer a contest between humans, but a confrontation between two races.

After the number of dead people has been removed, after the second batch of 500,000 elites of the orcs entered the battlefield, the orc side has nearly 700,000 troops, and this is not counting the last batch of 600,000 reinforcements still on the way.

The United Kingdom of the South still has 400,000 troops left, the Solan Empire has nearly 600,000, and Kayadir has three legions with a total of 300,000 horses and horses waiting on the border line of the southern provinces.

Generally speaking, the number of troops on both sides is about the same, but there is one thing that humans do not have, that is, the single strength of orcs is stronger than that of humans, and once they are in a hurry, orcs can achieve all soldiers.

The war began in the spring, and in the summer, the 300,000-strong army of Keadir, under the orders of Alena, rushed to the front through the United Kingdom.

By the fall, two of the six provinces of the United Kingdom had been defeated, and two provinces of the Solan Empire had fallen into the hands of the orcs, which was the result of Ferrante's reinforcement of the United Kingdom in advance.

At this point, the two sides began to enter a stalemate, and the humans used the walls and changeable tactics, as well as the gunpowder recipe shared by Ferranche, to stabilize the orc offensive.

This winter, in a valley between the Solan Empire and the United Kingdom, a young soldier cut down the last orc, gasping for breath, looking at his comrades beside him, and smiling heartily.

Yes, they won again, the rear of this valley is the communication artery of the east and west fronts, which is heavily guarded, and once the main road is breached, the east and west fronts will be divided, and the situation that mankind has managed to stabilize will be beaten back to its original shape.

The orc's attack was repulsed, which should have been a happy thing, but time after time, the victory was accompanied by the fall of his friends one by one, and the young man fell silent with a smile, took a breath and began to clean up the battlefield.

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of spring of the third year, and the stability of winter was gone again, and millions of orcs scattered on the front began to launch a fierce offensive again.

In particular, this valley, which is facing the headquarters of the orc army in front and the important place connecting the two battle lines in the back, has naturally been fiercely attacked.

On this day, the sun shone on the earth again, the branches began to sprout, and Brandy, carrying a wooden box on his back, walked out of Morse City for the first time and set foot on the land of the North Continent again.

Looking at the sun in the sky, his eyes were firm and persistent.

In the valley, the youth was patrolling as usual, and suddenly, the earth began to shake violently, which was a sign of the arrival of the orc cavalry.

The sound of the horn sounded, the camp entered a state of combat readiness, countless barricades, traps and horse rejections were set up in the valley, and the young man had been promoted to squad leader, and at this time he was instructing his soldiers to deal calmly for a while.

Yes, instructed.

The body of the orc is not comparable to that of humans, and even with the support of the church, the other party also has the help of the shaman.

Even though some of them have bloodline talents, all orcs can enter a state of madness.

Humanity has suffered heavy losses over the past two years, not on the land, but on the soldiers who fought.

At this time, many of his subordinates were recruits who had just enlisted in the army and had not experienced a few battles, so it was important to calm their emotions.

The shaking of the ground became stronger and stronger, the soldiers clenched their spears, and behind the array, the catapults were ready to go, and one by one the powder kegs were moved.

Gunpowder, the strongest weapon humans can use to hold the orcs back.

"Roar!"

A deafening beast roar sounded, and a seeping figure appeared in the soldier's eyes.

Everyone's eyes widened, and they were a little overwhelmed as they looked at the giant beasts rushing over in their field of vision.

"It's a monster! it's a monster!" a recruit suddenly shuddered and shouted loudly.

The hooves of the beast struck the ground as if in everyone's heart, and a cardinal at the back of the array stepped out, his hands outstretched, and he chanted a prayer.

The soldiers suddenly felt that the sun in the sky was a little brighter, and then the light fell on their bodies, forming a layer of bright armor.

"Prepare for war!"

At the command of the deacon, the powder keg was thrown first, and the sound of the explosion caused a loud echo in the valley.

But they underestimated the strength of the Warcraft, and although some Warcraft were killed by a hit, many more Warcraft were aroused to be ferocious.

A wind wolf spat out a wind blade from its mouth, instantly knocking away a piece of soldiers in front of the formation, although protected by light armor, but still spit out a mouthful of blood, saving his life, but losing his combat ability.

......

Half a month later, in the valley, Brandi stopped with a wooden box on his back, looked at the corpse of the cardinal on the ground in front of him, turned around and walked around, and the staff and guards beside him followed closely.

"Commander, in front of this valley is a small plain, then a mountain range, and as long as we hold it down, the two fronts of humanity will be broken. ”

Brandi nodded, thinking about the topographical map of the North Continent in his mind, and commanded: "Temporarily stop the front-line offensive, in the past our formation was like an 'arrow', but as long as the army holds this valley, we will become a 'sword', and the humans will not give up this position, they will definitely come over." ”

"Yes, Commander!"

Indeed, if this valley is held, the land that the orcs now occupy is like the body of a sword, with Morse City as the hub, and the land bridge as the hilt of the sword.

It was a long sword that slashed into the middle of the North Continent, tearing apart the Solan Empire and the United Kingdom, and the pinnacle pointed straight at Kayadir.

Just when humanity was once again in a vulnerable position, a horse-drawn carriage drove into the campus at Scarborough Academy of Magic and Wizardry.

The war outside did not affect the cadets here, because they did not know the specific situation.

The carriage stopped directly in front of the main teaching building, and the students cast curious glances, they had never seen anyone dare to park the carriage directly here.

The curtain was lifted, and Dunn, dressed in armor, walked down, and no one knew that the commander of the United Kingdom had secretly left the front-line camp.

In his office, Kraken made two cups of tea and took off his monocle.

When Dunn opened the door as if no one was around, Kraken chuckled, "I never thought you would look in armor. ”

Dunn kept his face calm, walked directly to the table, and slapped it with one palm: "Kraken! What do you mean!"

Kraken pursed his mouth, his beard trembling twice: "Don't be so angry, the academy is a place to learn." ”

"You also know that the academy is a place of learning! Why do I see orc magicians on the battlefield? Why do a large number of demonic beasts be manipulated by people to impact the array? Who else can do this except soul magic!"

"But Winston's gunpowder is also very powerful. Kraken spread his hands.

"I don't ask you to help either side, but the academy can't meddle in this matter!"

Kraken's face suddenly sank: "Dunn, students will no longer be bound by the rules and regulations of the academy after graduation, they have their own thoughts, and I have no right to make choices for the graduating students!"

"But that's human life! Don't you know how much damage magic can cause on the battlefield compared to magic magic? Morse City has a whole hundred thousand people in one night! 100,000 people have been poisoned by potions!"

"Of course I know, but what do you want me to do? Tell them not to interfere, and then lock them up in the forbidden chamber? The gunpowder has already been spread, right? You know the power of that thing better than I do, Dunn, my people are also bleeding on the front lines! Am I going to arrest you and Winston too?!"

Kraken stood up from his chair, much shorter than Dunn, still propping up the table, looking up into the other's eyes.

The air seemed to freeze, and the candles on the walls were frozen and re-lit by the inexplicable frost, only to return to normal after changing several colors.

"Whew......" Dunn breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm sorry, it's my ......"

"Needless to say, I'm sorry, Dunn, the academy is not a state, it's only responsible for teaching students magic, you can't think about it with the mind of a politician. ”

Dunn nodded, "There's a chance to have tea together again." Then he turned and left the office.

Kraken sat down again and put on his monocle: "If the teacher was still around, he would have done the same." ”

......

Half a month after the orcs captured the valley, the fronts on both sides of the human race were clearly declining.

At the same time, the king of the Solan Empire, Ferrante, personally led the legions to support, intending to recapture the valley.

On the other side, the front line was handed over to Dunn, and Kayadir's legions turned around and headed for the valley.

On a small plain behind the valley, the world was temporarily oppressive to the extreme, and Brandi stood on a high slope on horseback, looking at the human coalition in the distance, and his eyes fell on Ferrante in front of the battle.

Brandy, a king who was favored by two gods at the same time, also attached great importance to him.

"Ferrante, you were the one who beat Honoris, thank you for teaching me that little brother, now...... It's time to give it back to me. ”

For the orcs, as long as they win this battle, it will not only greatly demoralize the human race, but also stabilize the current formation of the orcs, and the next step is to drive straight into the land of the North Continent.

On the side of the human coalition, Ferrante also looked over, Brandi did not deliberately hide himself, so it was obvious that he saw it.

Ferrante's brows suddenly furrowed: "Human?"

Although they were far apart, their eyes seemed to make contact in the air, in this interracial war that lasted for more than two years.

The two kings finally met for the first time.
