When the Imperial army set out again the next day, Levi found that not only had the Emperor's troops replenished, but the number of Chosen Heroes who had joined the Imperial camp had also increased, and that the Emperor's army had also added a lot of new war machines, some of which had been loaded onto war wagons, and some of which were pulled by huge wagons.

In addition to the mortars and giant cannons that Levi had seen and possessed, there were also some that were closely guarded by a large number of troops, and they seemed to be mysterious and secretive, and they should be the secret weapons specially prepared by the emperor for the next war.

And Levi also found that there was an extra aboriginal in the emperor's army who carried a hammer hammer or something, and looked like an engineer, and after a little inquiry, Levi learned that the other party was a heroic unit sent by the Elector of the Tarabek Lord, specifically to serve the emperor's war machine, named Bennek Suterson, and he also carried some special shapes, mortars named after himself, just from this point can be seen that he still has two brushes.

The army of hundreds of thousands continued to advance, and new Chosen Heroes were constantly joining along the way, which made the size of the team grow more and more.

I don't know if it's because the previous ambush of the chaotic camp failed, they are preparing a new conspiracy, or they have completely given up trying, Levi They have never encountered any large-scale enemies, although there are some ordinary greenskins and beastmen, but often a wave of long-range attacks from the vanguard can kill them directly.

But this makes the journey long and boring, after all, for the Chosen Heroes, if you don't kill a few monsters on the way, it's just a boring march, it's really not much fun.

Therefore, the impatient Chosen Heroes began to withdraw from the large army and chose to go it alone, because without the drag of those war machines, their marching speed would become faster, but in the various towns along the way, there were still new Chosen Heroes joining in, so the number of the entire Imperial army was almost balanced.

After two days of marching, they came to the Oster Territory very smoothly, and successfully made peace with the army of the Oster Commander's Election Emperor.

Then the Emperor's army was filled with tens of thousands of troops and an Imperial General named Maximi Lane, who was supported by the Elector of Oster.

It is said that this general had a very good personal relationship with Emperor Karl, and he also made great efforts when he ascended the throne, and in return, he was originally just an ordinary high-ranking nobleman in the Oster Domain, but now he has become a powerful person in the Oster Territory second only to the Elector, and the Oster Elector sent him to lead the army to reinforce the Emperor.

Levi was more interested in the elite knights he led. Unlike the spears and spears used by most cavalrymen, the Knights of the Bull led by this general were not only composed of extremely strong men, but also had extremely violent weapons in their hands, such as axes or two-handed swords, which were not very suitable for cavalry, but it was conceivable that once they charged, they were definitely more powerful than ordinary cavalry spears.

When the army passed the Oster Territory and began to advance in the direction of the Nord Territory, the target of the Northern Expedition, Levi could clearly feel that the climate and environment had changed, in short, the temperature here quickly became colder, and the monsters they encountered on the way also changed in appearance, their fur became thicker, their defense became stronger, and the overall became more resistant to beating.

Of course, they still have no ability to resist in the face of the imperial army.

At this time, Davi, the horned eagle beast knight who had been in charge of commanding the air troops in mid-air, suddenly flew back and reported to him with a little excitement: "My lord, we have found traces of Norsca pirates ahead!" ”

"Norscar pirates?" Levi, who was studying what could grow on the barren and hard ground under his feet, immediately came to his senses, and one of the most important reasons why they crossed this long distance was to exterminate the Norska pirates. As for setting traps for the Beastmen, that's another matter.

He'd heard too much about the Norscar pirates on the forums, and this time he's going to have a real fight!

Levi immediately called Reinhardt and set off with less than a thousand cavalry troops, because there were only a few hundred Norsca pirates reported by David, and if he didn't act quickly, I was afraid that these guys would be killed in less than two minutes.

Following Davey's direction, Levi soon saw no more than five hundred human warriors with pale skin and rather conspicuous red or blonde hair.

Compared with ordinary Imperial soldiers, their equipment is much more rudimentary, basically wearing the fur of unknown animals, and few wear metal armor, but their bodies are very strong, full of swollen muscles, and often more than half a head taller than ordinary Imperial soldiers, and the weapons in their hands are also some heavy weapons such as battle axes, machetes and hammers, or if they are one-on-one, ordinary Imperial soldiers are probably not the opponents of these barbarians at all.

The Norscan pirates were hunting on a lake covered with thin ice, and it wasn't until the sound of rumbling horses' hooves woke them up that they turned around in a little panic and began to fight back.

With the roar of a strong Norscar pirate who seemed to be the leader, dozens of Chaos Wardogs with messy hair and foul saliva flowing from the corners of their mouths rushed first, followed by some Marauder Spearmen with spears, Marauder warriors with tomahawks, and finally some Marauder Hunters with throwing spears, who took the initiative to launch a counter-charge against more than twice the number of cavalry troops!

Despite the surprise attack, although they were degraded as brainless barbarians, these Norscan pirates still showed quite good tactical literacy, probably related to their cruel and harsh living environment from childhood to adulthood, but in the face of Levi and them, these resistances are not worth mentioning at all, even the leading Norscan pirate leader, did not take the lives of any cavalry, although there were also Norscan pirates who tried to escape, but in the face of high-speed cavalry, of course, they would not have any success.

After the battle, Levi's expression was very relaxed, because he had already learned the details of the Norscar pirates on the forum, and even for the troops that appeared in front of the other Chosen Heroes, he basically knew all about them, and he had already made full preparations for this battle.

But on the other hand, Reinhardt's expression was a little surprised, it was the first time she had seen the Norscar pirates in person, and she had only heard how murderous they were, but after experiencing this small battle, she finally realized for herself how powerful these guys were.

The crux of the matter is not how powerful they are, but the instinctive military qualities and ferocious fighting style they display against the enemy.

Except for the warlike nature of the green skin, under the command of no famous general, not all races dare to launch a counter-charge under this contrast of strength!

Reinhardt hurried to find the Emperor Karl, who was the sister of the Countess of Nunn and was able to say something in front of the Emperor.

Levi didn't know what they had communicated, but when Reinhardt returned, her face became much lighter, and the formation of the Imperial army adjusted slightly, and more scouts were dispatched.

As they gradually penetrated into the territory of the Nord Territory, they also encountered Norscar pirates more and more frequently, and the strength of these Norscar pirates continued to improve.

At the beginning, these small pirate groups were mainly based on the 2nd and 3rd orders, and occasionally mixed with some Norscan war dogs, but in the back, a large number of Norscan riders, Norscar berserkers, and Norscar ice wolves began to be active on the battlefield, and some giant werewolves with a height of several meters called human skin wolves, as well as some ice trolls that were special to the northern regions of the Old World, began to gradually appear in groups.

This giant werewolf is different from the werewolves in the beastmen, their stature is much taller and stronger, even based on the characteristics of werewolves, they are used to lying around and bending their heads, but their height is basically 3 meters high, once they straighten their waists, they will definitely be higher, and they weigh four or five hundred kilograms.

Unlike the werewolves of the beastmen with a similar name, in addition to being many times stronger in attack and defense, they also have perks such as scare, primary respawn, and rage.

Moreover, their speed is only a little slower than that of heavy cavalry, and when they are on all fours like wolves, they are no less powerful than ordinary cavalry charges, and they can often easily break through the front line of defense, bringing fear and blood to the soldiers on the front line.

The most ferocious of them would tear off the flesh of the Imperial soldiers on the spot, and then smear them vigorously on their own bodies, and then they let out a long, excited roar under the terrified gaze of the Imperial soldiers, which is why they are called human skin wolves!

Norscar Ice Trolls, on the other hand, are a more powerful version of ordinary trolls, not only are they more powerful in hand-to-hand combat, but they also have a preliminary understanding of the mystery of using the power of frost, and when attacking, they can often inflict a certain amount of magic damage on their enemies, and even slow down and other effects.

In the face of these 4th and 5th order powerful troops, even the well-trained Imperial troops, as well as the subordinates of many Chosen Heroes, began to inevitably have casualties, and they didn't know how these Norscans tamed them.

The only good thing is that these monsters are very scarce, and the proportion of these Norscan pirate groups is often less than one percent, which does not pose much of a threat to the Imperial side, but it is to be expected that once these guys form a scale, they may be more threatening than the previous forces of the Greenskins and Beastmen.

It's no wonder that Kislev, the ice and snow country closest to the Norscar region, and the Nord Territory of the Empire, only dare to defend the city when facing the invasion of Norscar pirates, and if there are such high-level troops in their enemies, the victory rate in the field decisive battle is really not high!

As they passed through a swamp, a group of Norscan pirates appeared with several manticores and a dozen humanoids that looked like some giant crocodiles standing upright, carrying war hammers in their hands, and engaged them, Levi became more and more convinced.

Manticores don't matter, although they look very vicious, they can fly, and they can release poison, but after a long period of contact, their strength is just like that, they are not specialized in every aspect, as long as they find weaknesses, they are not too difficult to deal with.

But this powerful creature that is generally more than 4 meters tall, shaped like an upright crocodile, and called the Swamp Monster, is not only a powerful monster of the same level as the Manticore, but all of them are 5th order troops, they are more professional warrior monsters!

Even the cavalry directly under Levi's, who is also a 5th-order Rick Janissake, is very laborious to deal with them when they are one-on-one, Levi personally chose the elite swamp demon warrior to fight it alone, and then he was surprised to find that the defense of the natural scale armor on this big crocodile is simply higher than that of ordinary knight heavy armor, and the defense is really a little ridiculously high!

And I don't know if it's Levi's delusion, although these swamp monsters seem to be some brainless beasts, but in fact, they are even more cooperative and disciplined than those Norsca pirates when attacking!

But correspondingly, after killing these guys, Levi's gains are also very expensive, although there is basically no money, but the leather armor equipment dropped is very good, not only very light, but also quite high defense.

In this way, Levi and the others cleared all the Norsca pirates they encountered on the road, and began to advance towards the capital of the Nord Lord, Sesenmud. As they continued to advance, a large number of merits and experience points poured towards them like a stream of water, Levi estimated that he did not need to stay long, if calculated according to the current enemy rate, he only needed to hang around the Nord territory for a week, and his official position could be very easily promoted to the rank of commander.

As for the higher ranks, they not only require meritorious service, but also require imperial prestige, titles and territories, etc., which cannot be promoted in a short period of time just by killing enemies or something.

After taking out another group of ice trolls, Reinhardt suddenly exclaimed, "Levi, look over there!" ”

Following the direction of Reinhardt's finger, Levi turned out a skeleton full of tooth marks under the layers of ice and snow, as well as some leather armor that had already been torn to pieces, judging by the shape of the bone, its owner should be an imperial soldier, but now it has become the belly of these ice trolls, looking at the freshness of this corpse, this incident may have just happened today.

This looks miserable, but Levi is more concerned about the special mark on the leather armor, which belongs to the Mermitian sect of the goddess of war that Reinhardt believes, and the soldier who died tragically also belongs to her sect!

And judging from the costume of this dead soldier, he should be a cavalry scout, and appearing here at this time, Levi can only think of one possibility, he is most likely one of the scouts of the army sent by the Northern Eagle!

Reinhardt's subsequent discovery of the broken Nunn sigil belonging to another corpse directly confirmed Levi's suspicion that although the Northern Eagles' forces had set out before them, they had now caught up!
