Chapter 113: Revenge
Once again, the wit's wisdom and his talent were proven. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Dawn, a layer of white fog, covering the black swamp, gradually turned into a veil, like a magical hand, gently brushing aside the crazy prelude to war.
"Soldiers, starting today, we join a brand new empire! The Panorama Emperor's time is approaching, he has aged like a mortal, a demigod has come to the end of his life. And a new half-body and a new emperor have been born, we will recover the north, recover the west, conquer the emperor's city, and even sweep the southern and eastern continents. β
"Maybe you'll miss your family and your hometown in the West. But if you choose a new beginning, you will become a nobleman, and everyone will have the right to have at least three wives, regardless of whether you are an officer or an officer! And you can plunder in every war, and you only need to hand over half of it. The rest, it's all yours! β
The gnomes used status, beauty, and wealth to convince the soldiers to defect. And these are the conditions of persuasion that Sauron agrees to.
As expected, the dwarf betrayed everything, attracting scolding for himself. "Disgusting dwarf, you have betrayed your family, betrayed the West, betrayed the Grand Duke, and you will not die a good death!"
It turns out that today there are a lot of people who will be beheaded. Among the 200,000 heavily armed main army of the White Forest, at least 50,000 people who are not controlled must be killed on the spot.
Tens of thousands of corpses, and the blood that stained the earth, was a means of demonstrating Diemer's resolve.
But invisibly, the prestige of the Grand Duke of the North has been raised to an unattainable height in the minds of the people of the North.
When there was only one lonely city left in the north, he turned the tide and annihilated the 200,000 White Forest Legions, and caused the White Forest 150,000 Heavy Legions to defect, and Zoro declared that he would give up the noble title of Grand Duke of the Northern Empire.
Officially declare the North, and merge the Wall of Despair into the Sky Empire!
The attack on the western frontier has long caused the people of the northern frontier to lose hope in the so-called empire.
And the fact that his own patriarch and supreme ruler, officially called emperor, will encourage the people of the north to gain even higher morale in battle.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The royal city of Claiston in the North, the Wall of Despair to the North. Legend has it that it was created by the gods to divide two different worlds.
It was a magnificent military fortress and the only military force on the northern continent that was not nominally under the control of the Grand Duke of the North.
For a long time in the past, this place was isolated from the whole world and other dimensional continents.
In order to summon the Imperial army, it must be in the weakest part of this plane. And today, Sauron must take control of the pass.
In the morning, a milky white mist filled the wall of despair, and winter had passed, and spring had arrived, and although the sun had not yet been seen, the whole fortress exuded the smell of burning.
The sky in the early morning is slightly fragrant, the night rain washes away all the dust, and even the fragrance of jasmine is also rendered in the **, with the wind overflowing, drifting into the pores of every breath.
Hearing the arrival of the Grand Duke of the North, the Grand Master of the Wall of Despair still followed the ancient covenants and etiquette and opened the gates of the fortress.
"Immovable as a mountain, solid as a rock. More than half of the Blackcoat Legion on the Wall of Despair, including me, are from the North. Even today, we still wear the coat of arms of the war bear. As you can see, we are not under your control, but we still have a lot of respect for the Reinhardt family. β
Life at the Wall of Despair was hard, and after years of hard work, Grand Master Clark, the Grand Master of the Black Legion, whose back of his hand was rough like old pine bark, could be seen cracking his arm more than once.
a few thick calluses on the fingers; It was the result of years of holding a sword.
The flowing years had mercilessly carved deep wrinkles on his purple face, and the original jet-black hair and beard had also turned grayish-white, only the eyes were still so bright, although the corners of the eyes were covered with dense crow's feet.
"The life of the Emperor of the Empire is about to run out, and the Empire has entered an era of chaos and war. Under the attack of the White Forest Legion in the West, the Northern Continent is on the verge of extinction. And you were all once from the North, all of you were warriors under the banner of my Northern War Bear, but you could witness the fall of your homeland. β
After all, Zoro and Grand Master Clark weren't familiar with each other. If William was here, he might be able to get acquainted with each other better. Sauron's words sounded like a complaint, but in fact they were nothing more than probes.
In any case, the Wall of Despair must be opened, otherwise Imperial reinforcements from the Savage Continent will not be able to descend or cross this fortress.
"Lord Duke, the Legion of the Men in Black, does not accept the rule of the North, not even the Emperor. Stationed at the Wall of Despair for the rest of his life, this is an enact made by the ancient gods of the Empire. If one day, the Men in Black Legion abandons their duties, it will lead to the destruction of the entire empire! β
Grand Master Clark's gaze and words were full of justice and warning. And the content of this sentence surprised Sauron. There are many gods and goddesses throughout the Empire, but most of them are past emperors.
Every emperor in the history of the empire was worshipped as a god.
(The reason: the fact that each Emperor has the support of three Temples, as well as a lifespan of up to 600 years, and the fact that the Emperor has become a demigod.) οΌ
The people of the entire empire, the worship of the emperor, in Sauron's opinion, this would have been understandable. Because for this world, there is only one demigod living in the world.
It's just that the existence of the Legion of the Black Men, and their loyalty to the Empire, cannot be based solely on the simple worship of 'gods'.
This Clark regimental commander, he apparently has something to hide.
It's a pity that the affairs of the Northern Continent are already very chaotic, and Zoro doesn't have much patience.
The purpose of coming to the Wall of Despair this time is only to control the Legion of the Men in Black and the Fortress of the Wall of Despair.
Without any hesitation, the arm that emerged from the dragon scales became very thick and hard, and without warning, the next second, Zoro's arm was like a pincer, pinching Clark's neck.
And, as Zoro's eyes changed, his tone became more and more indifferent.
"Captain Clark, you know, I'm not here to negotiate. The Northern Continent fell, and it was the entire empire that betrayed Reinhardt. From this day forward, you and your legions are not allowed to exist in the lands of the North. β
There was no one else in the room at the moment but Zoro and Clark, and Grand Master Clark was clearly too confident in his own strength, or he was too contemptuous of a young Grand Duke of the North. I didn't expect the other party to suddenly attack.
The power of a wyvern rose in Zoro's arm, and as he increased his strength, Grand Master Clarke's face was swollen and red, his eyes were filled with disbelief, and then gradually turned gray, and his eyes began to lag.

A snap of dislocated bones caused Captain Clarke's head to tilt back, his eyes no longer motionless, and his body stiffened like a ghost.
Throwing away the corpse in his hand, the door of the fortress room was immediately opened, and the two black-clothed soldiers who walked in, ignoring it, immediately stepped forward and tore off the badge of the Grand Master. It was a sword and shield cross, and a crow's crest.
Everything went according to plan.
Things are going a little more smoothly than Sauron imagined.
Use Captain Clark's badge to trick the gates between the forts. The means of executing several deputy regimental commanders were almost all assassinations.
The soldiers and knights of the Men in Black Legion, on the other hand, were mostly criminals and prisoners from all over the empire, who were restricted to training and serving for the rest of their lives.
All Sauron needed was an order for a full pardon to instigate their duty to abandon the Legion of the Black.
Eventually, the banner of the Wall of Despair was replaced.
When the bodies of Regiment Commander Clark and several deputy regimental commanders were hung up and whipped, all the men in black soldiers gathered to look over there, their eyes filled with bloodlust.
The backs of a bunch of people, their necks stretched out, like many black crows, pinched and lifted upwards by invisible hands, as if waiting to be fed rotten meat.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"The Legion of the Men in Black is strong, but it has the drawbacks of losing freedom and the basic rights of soldiers. It's an epic legion, and it's also a bandit legion made up of criminals. As long as their desires are stimulated, these men in black can do anything for you. β
Dressed in β§ emblem robes, Zoro only had a few simple words of encouragement to make the Men in Black legion obey him.
A cage was opened, and 100,000 crows were released.
Sauron told himself that he had to use the soldiers to conquer a fortress.
Windward City is worthless, and only by conquering the Fireplace Fort can the tide of the war in the north be completely reversed.
"Diemer's 200,000 rebels, plus 100,000 legions of men in black, and 50,000 soldiers from the north. Gather an army of 350,000 revenge, it should be time to counterattack. β
The 350,000-strong army did not have enough pay, not enough food, and not even any supplies.
Everything the soldiers needed could only be plundered through war.
All the villages and towns along the way were wiped out, which was a consequence that Sauron could already imagine, and it was impossible to bear. But there is no other way for him to do it for the time being.
Summoning the Sky Empire's expeditionary army is not that simple, according to Sauron's calculations, it will take at least two months for so many people to cross the plane.
During this time, Sauron had to lay the foundation for the Imperial Expeditionary Army and gather enough food and grass. The materials of the Sky Empire have never been able to cross the continent to support.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Windy City. The city, which had sunk in the flames of war, had fallen into decay.
The White Grove Army, over the course of the year, has attacked the city with its armies more than once, and the Westlanders have ordered their armies to plunder and set fire to the city, ravaging the place and the surrounding towns with violence and swords.
Now, in the face of the 350,000 revenge army, the defenders of the White Forest in the western realm did not even have a symbolic resistance, so they abandoned this city where even the clear water turned red.
"It's a dead city, get around it and head for Fort Hearth! It was stockpiled with supplies and rations for the armies of the West, as well as countless coins they had looted. Soldiers, just conquer the fireplace fort and take whatever you want! β
350,000 vengeful army, among which the fish and dragons are mixed.
In the absence of supplies, all Sauron could do was to arouse the desire of his soldiers. Let them stare at the populous, well-walled fireplace fort and drool.
On the Black Swamp battlefield, those large long-range devices all came in handy.
But at the beginning of the war, Sauron still ordered his soldiers to go forward and die like cannon fodder.
Whether it is the 200,000 White Forest Legion or the 100,000 Black Men Legion, their loyalty is full of variables.
With the lack of supplies and the scarcity of food, even Dimer has no control over this. After all, if you can't even fill your stomach, no one will want to die for you.
So, after listening to Dymer's report, Sauron must consume these legions on the battlefield as much as possible, and it is becoming more and more difficult to control.
The purpose of this war was to kill the 300,000 legions and the 100,000 enemy troops in Fort Hearth. It not only smashed all the offensives of the White Forest in the West, but also consumed and reduced the uncertain factors, killing two birds with one stone.
"Fort Hearthplace has 100,000 White Forest soldiers stationed there, and we have 300,000. Demomer, I have given you the task of consuming the 200,000 soldiers in your possession, and you will get everything I promised you in advance. β
Duster remembered what Sauron had said, "Since darkness has come to your life, there is also a moment to leave." As long as you meet a master who gives you change. β
He was desperate to start over with a new identity.
What are the lives of 200,000 people who can break away from the body of a dwarf? Diemer never cared.
The siege was bloody, with 1,500 Celestial Wings serving as overseers, who could kill any soldier who hesitated or flinched.
It is undeniable that such a war is magnificent, textured, and has that sense of heroic epicness.
The sky is nothing but fire and smoke.
Many people leapt from the walls, quickly let out a fierce scream, splashed blood on the walls, and fell.
The soldiers waiting to climb the ladder under the city walls wiped their foreheads from the cold sweat that had been shed for fear and their hands trembled.
The smoke of gunpowder accompanied the smell of blood, irritating his nostrils. Fear and nervousness made him unable to hold back any longer, and he stood up and cursed his cowardice as he climbed the ladder and drew his spear.
He climbed awkwardly, the ladder dangling, and saw that there were still a few steps to the head of the city.
"Bang!" Just a dozen meters away, enemy troops appeared!
A pot of hot oil made him stunned for a long time, and suddenly climbed up frantically as if he remembered something. It didn't take long for his face to be completely corroded into a thousand holes, falling from a height of more than ten meters, and falling into a meat patty.
At this time, Dimmer's innocuous voice continued, "Don't stop, we can almost conquer the Fireplace Fort." The heavy infantry of 10,000 men continued to go up, and the next reserve was ready. (To be continued.) )
