Three days later, the city of Mantelle, where the reinforcements were stationed.

Entrance to the hospital.

Barr watched as the figures in front of him faded away before turning back into the courtyard.

"Baal, there are more than a dozen Imperial generals who have come to visit you in the past few days. If you weren't a Minotaur, I'm afraid the upper echelons of the empire would have spared no effort to win them over. ”

The voice came from the west side of the courtyard.

Looking in the direction from which the voice came, two figures were sitting at the stone table. On the left is the Rouhani he had known before, and the other is Yale, the young wingman lord who had returned to Mantara with him.

"I didn't expect you to not only have enough strength, but also be able to use legion-level abilities, I was a little surprised when I first heard it." Rouhani laughed.

"You two."

Baal shook his head with a smile, sat back at the table, and looked at Yale Dao opposite, "I heard that recently, for that iceberg, the big names of all races are almost here, even the elves and dwarves have come, and there are several lord-level powerhouses. ”

"It's been a few days, have you found anything?"

Rouhani also looked at Yale.

The Winged People are a subsidiary race of the Lionmen, as the genius of the Winged People Clan, and even the lords who have reached the leader level, Yale has a very high relationship with some high-ranking figures in the Empire, and the news is much better than the two of them.

"As far as I know."

"The outer side of that iceberg was shrouded in a powerful enchantment, and several lord-level powerhouses joined forces, but they couldn't break it."

"The enchantment should have existed for an extremely long time, and there are some weak spots on the outside." "All the tribes sent people in, even the senior leaders, but almost all of them died inside, and the few who escaped were also seriously injured and dying. ”

"It is said."

"Mark, the lord and powerhouse on the human side, also went in, and finally escaped, and I heard that he was also injured. As for what exactly happened inside, it is not clear. Yale continued.

"What, even the lord powerhouse is injured." Both Barr and Haroney were surprised.

"After Mark was injured and escaped, the lords and powerhouses of the other races were also very cautious and did not dare to enter easily." Yale said, "It is estimated that this iceberg should not be a simple thing. ”

"Now the focus of all ethnic groups is on that iceberg, and I am afraid that this war is about to end." Rouhani said.

"Hmm." Barr agreed.

"The end? How could it end. Yale shook his head and said, "Yesterday afternoon, around the iceberg, several crystal veins were discovered, as well as extremely pure ice element crystal mines. The reserves of these crystal ores are extremely large, and they are estimated to be much larger than the super-large veins. ”

"Other than that."

"There are also a lot of rare veins of ice that have been discovered, and the reserves are not small."

"It's bigger than a super-large vein." Barr was also shocked, and the value of the crystal went without saying. The higher the purity of elemental crystals, the higher the value, and some are even more precious than crystals without attributes.

With such a large-scale vein, all ethnic groups definitely want to get it into their own hands.

The rest of the dwarves, elves and other races, although there are also lords and strong, but the overall strength is too far behind the human and beast races, plus they are in the Western Continent, I am afraid there is no way to compete.

"Although the value of these mineral deposits is amazing, the lord-level strength of the two clans should not be able to do it. As is customary, in order to fight for ownership, there is only one fight. Yale looked at the huge icebergs towering to the east and exclaimed.

Barr and the others also nodded.

The super-large ore veins that have been discovered in the past are the focus of contention between the two families. With the exception of those located in their respective hinterlands, the veins found on the border or in disputed areas between the two clans were ultimately decided by war, and the victorious side naturally took the lead.

Unlike in the past, there are many veins that have been discovered this time, but the victorious side will inevitably get more ownership of the veins.

......

As the three men expected, only two days later, the order of the legion was given.

Turn on the Lord's Token.

"The First Corps, this is the most elite corps in the Second Corps, and it is estimated that it also takes a fancy to my corps-level ability." Barr looked at the information above, and according to the order, he would go to the First Corps this time, serve as a staff member, and follow the First Corps to act.

"Staff?" Barr shook his head, I'm afraid that no one will listen to the advice of his staff except for his state ability.

Had breakfast.

Before he could get out of the door, there was a knock on the door.

Squeak.

Opening the door, outside was a tall old lion man dressed in aristocratic costume. Behind him, he was followed by six imperial royal guards dressed in gorgeous armor, and next to him was a chubby lion man, none other than Baron Naboo.

"May I ask who you are?" Barr asked, looking at the old lionman.

"Lord Bal, this is Earl Huggins." Nabu stepped forward and introduced.

"Earl Huggins, I wonder why you came to me?" Barr wondered, looking at the guards behind Huggins, they should have come on behalf of the royal family, and they thought there was something important.

"Congratulations to the lord, who has done a great job in killing dozens of enemy officers on the battlefield. Your Majesty has issued a special order to grant you the title of Count of the Empire. Huggins smiled. The one in front of him, who won the earl title at such a young age, is unlimited in the future.

"Earldom?"

"Please come in."

After the group went into the house and chatted for a while, Huggins took out the count's badge and handed it to him, and then took their leave. And from this time on, he also officially became the Count of the Empire.

......

on the street leading to the west of the city.

"It's strange, I only got 300,000 military merits, and His Majesty actually awarded me the title of earl." Barr looked at the badge in his hand, and was also a little stunned. You must know that if an ordinary soldier wants to obtain the title of baron, he needs up to 500,000 military merits, let alone an earl.

Think about it.

There are only two reasons, one is that the empire sees his potential and intends to win him over, and the other is that he is afraid that it is his identity.

Not much.

He rushed to the gate of the Second Legion's garrison, showed his lord's token, and walked in.

Now the eyes of both humans and beasts are focused on the sudden appearance of the iceberg and the surrounding mineral veins, and the battle situation has temporarily eased. The Saudi army besieging the city of Mantara had retreated a few days earlier, and shortly after the iceberg appeared, the Saudi seized the opportunity to attack quickly and captured the nearby town of Lenza in one fell swoop.

.

Barr has just been stationed there.

A young lion man wearing exquisite armor and carrying a spear walked in front of him, who looked to be in his thirties, with a tough face and a heroic spirit.

There were two more people behind him.

On the left is a beautiful lion woman, and next to her is an ice giant with a giant hammer on her shoulders and more than ten meters tall. Judging from the insignia they wear, they should all be the commanders of the First Corps.

"The lord is here, but I've been waiting here for a long time." The young lion man was smiling.

"Captain Dorne." Barr also smiled and walked over to the young man.

Dorne had visited him two days earlier. As the commander of the First Corps, Dorne is a high-ranking leader in his own right, and like him, he is also a bloodline awakener, and his strength is extremely powerful.

The two chatted briefly, and then walked side by side to the station.

"This is the Minotaur Lord, who seems to have some strength."

"Not only is this Minotaur amazingly talented, but he has also mastered at least two or more legion-level state abilities, so it's no wonder that the corps commander attaches so much importance to him." The lion-woman and the ice giant whispered and followed.

Legion-level abilities are too rare, even if this minotaur is ordinary, the Imperial military will try their best to win it over.

......

Early in the morning, south of the city of Mantara.

Of the Second Legion, eight corps had been assembled, and two remained in the city.

Not far away, eight black cities are lined up, and it is the giant magic puppet - the wandering city. In order to compete for the crystal vein, the empire is also doing its best this time, in addition to the original three legions on the border, three more corps have been urgently requisitioned from the Western Continent, together with the fleet of the Goblin Alliance, which is already on the way.

The reinforcements of the other three kingdoms of the human race, a total of four legions, have also been assembled.

Two of the legions belonged to the Barbarian Nation of Ghana, while the other two Bands and Dorans sent only one legion due to being pinned down by the Imperial Naval Fleet and the Minotaur Legion, respectively.

Click...

The soldiers lined up and entered the wandering city. As a staff member, Barr naturally had to follow the First Corps, and coincidentally, Yale was also in the First Corps, but Rouhani was sent to the Fourth Corps

Rumble...

Eight wandering cities were activated, the protective shield was opened, and they were lifted into the air and flew in the direction of the iceberg.

The iceberg in the southeast, only a thousand kilometers away from the city of Mantara, has arrived at the speed of a wandering city. Whew~, the eight wandering cities fell rapidly and fell about twenty kilometers northwest of the iceberg.

Within more than ten kilometers around the iceberg, it was shrouded in a powerful enchantment, and it was very dangerous to approach it rashly.

Whoa~~~

After the eight wandering cities landed, they quickly approached, and the metal walls on the edge turned into black cubes, which quickly merged to form a black city more than ten kilometers long.

Stomp and tread.

Bar climbed the walls and looked east.

More than 100 kilometers to the east, in front of Lunsar Town, there are also more than a dozen metal cities composed of magic energy machines. Looking at the flag fluttering above, it should be the 3rd Saudi Army.

His Void Floaters had long since dispersed and spread around, but not as close as the icebergs and the human settlements. He had sent several Void Floaters to try to explore the strange iceberg, but as soon as the Void Floaters entered it, they lost contact with him.

Now around the iceberg, there are six legions of the empire and the Saudis.

In addition to the 2nd Army Corps and the 3rd Saudish Corps in the north, 200 kilometers to the south, to the southwest of the iceberg, the 3rd and 5th Army Corps of the Reich were stationed, and on the opposite side were the 6th and 15th Corps of the Saud.

Although this iceberg appeared in the territory of the Saudis, at this time the two sides were at war, and nominally, the empire had already occupied several towns on the west side of the iceberg, so naturally it would not give in.
