Chapter 538: The Battle of Turbulent Creek Town (1)

The town of Turbulent Creek on the border between Thorn Fortress and Balvo Forest is famous in the south for its rich timber resources and minerals.

This town has a long history, as early as the Second Age Orc Wars, the northward migration of humans fought the orcs here, and after the establishment of the Central Federation, the second Führer erected a monument to human heroes on the shores of the woodland lake in Turbulence Town, in order to make the people who settled in the central part of the country remember the past and become wiser, braver, and more resilient.

Now that the Thunderblade Dwarf's defeat in Kohor has been known to the people of the entire city-state, whether the people want it or not, a new war is imminent, and the Grace's airships transport the army directly to the camp on the woodside of Turbulence Town, and some of the warriors who had narrowly escaped in the previous battles have also regrouped under the propaganda of the city-state for reward and honor.

In the past, the town of Turbulent Creek was also prosperous and noisy, but now because of the large number of troops, there has been a cloud of uneasiness here, and the restlessness before the war, there are often soldiers in the town's taverns, inns, they form small groups to fight with each other, even if the upper echelons of the city-state try to restrain it, it is still impossible to avoid bloodshed, because there are too many people.

With the exception of the Führer's Guard stationed in the holy city of Pudasius, almost all of the city-state's forces were gathered here, and after several setbacks, Tashanmu still scraped together 70,000 soldiers to fill the historic lumberyards and mines of Turbulent Creek Town.

War puppets with a grim aura stood tall in the barracks, dozens of magic cannons were parked in the open space in front of the positions, soldiers quickly built forts with the help of spellcasters, dug trenches, cut down wood to create many sharp rejections, and griffon knights rose and fell from position to position, maintaining order while patrolling the readiness of each position.

For some reason, as the head of the city-state, Tashanmu did not personally take command of the army, but handed it over to the governor of Mien, Woan Tarim, the most famous magnate in the entire city-state, and a powerful and pious legendary paladin, who now had a complex army composition, including elite troops who had participated in several wars, newly recruited uneasy recruits and mercenaries, some militias who volunteered to take up arms to resist the invasion, and private soldiers that the noble lords had to provide under pressure.

Arguably the largest military operation ever launched by the Trade Federation since the Third Age, Tashanmu and his commanders had already made up their minds to engage in a final showdown with the invaders of El Sara in the town of Murmur Creek in the heart of the Trade Federation's rule.

Ironically, although this war has been going on for a long time, and the Trade Federation has fallen to nearly half of its territory and lost control of the four city-states, it is still unclear about the overall strength of Elsala, and it is not known how many living forces the opponent still has, which makes the commanders feel heavy, not to mention the recent bad news, such as the rebellion of the red dragon Nari Andrea, who had previously cooperated with the city-states, such as the capture of the King of the Dwarves and the Thunder Lord McNie Thunderblade, and so on.

To Governor Woan Tarim, he felt like he was facing a monster in the shadows, and no one knew how powerful it was until it came out of the shadows.

Fear is inevitable, but it's not a reason to avoid a fight, and in this life-and-death clash the loser could lose everything.

"The enemy is coming!"

In the area where Balvo Forest, Thorn Fortress and Turbulent Creek Town meet, the keen griffon knights saw the Elsala troops as they crossed the mountains, they quickly grabbed the reins and rushed back towards the human position, they must be fast, the giant eagles of Elshara will also scout back and forth on the way of the troops, once entangled by them, it is difficult for the griffon knights without backup support to escape.

"The enemy is coming!"

Ten minutes later, the city-state positions that had received the news from the scouts woke up like giant beasts, every gear of the war machine began to work, sparks of courage shone in the collision, the veterans took up their weapons and handed the flasks in their hands to the nervous recruits, while the generals rode on their horses, galloping back and forth in front of their positions, shouting and cheering everyone up.

Duke Dorasus and his guards were stationed behind the infantry phalanx, and when the battle began, he would take command of the battlefield, while Waran Tarim was at the forefront of the battle line with two thousand paladins of the Misty Army, knowing that Elsala possessed a deadly weapon called the "Black Fangs", which could terrorize an army and exterminate a race without firing a single shot, each of which was a terrifying killer and death followed wherever it went.

But they are not invincible, McNee Thunderblade has destroyed them, and Wauan believes he and his paladins can do the same.

"Archers in position!"

"The cavalry is in position!"

"Magic Cannon Load!"

"Activate the War Puppet!"

Accompanied by the hoarse roar of the herald, the battle flags of various colors were slowly raised on the front edge of the battle line, and in such a big battle, the raising of the glorious battle flag has only one meaning... In his own post, he will not retreat from the fight to the death.

This is a decisive battle, at least in the eyes of the soldiers and commanders on the battlefield for now, where the Trade Federation has invested all its forces, and this war must be a desperate battle for the fate of the city-state.

"Roar!"

A roar of belonging to a dragon rang out in the skies of Turquoise Town, and in a terrifying ferocity, the massive red dragon flapped its wings and streaked over the Elsara army, and behind it were dozens or hundreds of malevolent-looking radiant dragonborns.

Nari Andrea let out a roar, the dragon's wings flapped with fine flames, the Black Dragon Emperor did not lie to him, the senior necromancer from the North instilled a powerful life magic in a magic method that the red dragon could not understand for the time being, so that the sick red dragon returned to its heyday, and now Nari can't wait to show his strength, in the small middle world, it is rare to see such a terrifying, blood-boiling war.

He examined the human soldiers with a critical gaze, trying to see weakness and fear in their postures...... But no, under the unity of the people, the cowardice of the individual is covered by the strength of the collective, and he can only see the warriors who fight to the death, and he can only see the iron determination of these human beings.

"Hmph, in the fear that falls from the sky, even warriors can become cowards!"

The red dragon smiled contemptuously, and turned his head to look at the dragons trailing behind him, enjoying the feeling of hugging each other, so before the Elsala forces could attack, Nari couldn't help but shout, "My dragons, in the name of Andrea Burning Wings, destroy them!" ”

"Boom, boom."

The piercing screams of the wyverns resounded in the air, they were not ordinary low-intelligence dragonborns, but aberrant monsters baptized by radiation, although they were only the weakest bottom of the Black King's bloodline, but they still had irresistible power to mortals, the radiant wyverns screamed, swooping down and smashing into the human legions waiting below, the moment they landed, the wingblades on their wings and the cold and biting storm would bring the first wave of blood feast.

But just like Caesar's attack on the Northlanders, the humans of this world have developed many countermeasures against dragons, and they will not be beaten passively.

"Spellcaster! Hold up the barrier! ”

The mage troops placed in the core of the legion chanted incantations in unison, the strength of one person was weak, but when the casters gathered together, the spurting of elemental energy was vast, and after the magic took effect, it quickly converged in the air into an enchantment with golden flames, enveloping every military formation.
