"Lord Lord, the dense northern legions are beyond sight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info They bypassed the North Acropolis, the South Acropolis and other six cities, as well as the nearest customs city, and came directly to Blackwater City! ”

The scout gulped down a mouthful of saliva, and as he reported to the lord in detail, he was visibly stupefied by what he had seen with his own eyes not long ago.

"Bastard, why don't the city lords of the cities intercept it, once Blackwater City is gone, they will also surrender directly. Damn, Duke Reinhardt of the North, where did he come from to recruit so many troops? ”

Earl Andrew couldn't help but scold those timid nobles who were afraid of death.

At the same time, he has been wondering in his heart, since the outpost army of the White Forest and the last 100,000 legions in the north were wiped out, and the army of the men in black conquered the fireplace fortress and was exhausted, there was no large-scale legion in the entire northern continent.

Whether it is the White Forest Legion in the West or the War Bear Legion in the North, they are all in the confrontation stage. Now, once the balance is broken.

Even the Western Continent, for a while, could not put together a large army to completely eliminate the Reinhardt family's rule over the Northern Continent.

Count Andrew is a talented lord, otherwise the Grand Duke of the Westside would not have given him a strategic place like Blackwater. At the moment, all the figurations can only be put aside for the time being, and preparing for battle is the most important business at hand, "Go, tell the city defense general, and immediately gather all the Black Death diseases in Blackwater City." Including all the adult men in the levy city, all of them are organized into the reserve team and are ready to defend Blackwater City! ”

Sending away the herald scouts, Count Andrew immediately ordered to transfer back the army that was fighting the pirates in the Blackwater Sea to defend Blackwater City.

Including immediately writing a letter to report the abnormality of the Northern Continent to the Western Continent, far water can't save the near fire, but in the eyes of Earl Andrew, this is his duty.

With all the strength, plus the slaves, Blackwater City can only raise an army of 100,000 people, and with such strength, if you want to resist the attack of no less than 500,000 people, it depends on the combat strength of the opponent's army.

"Soldiers of the Sky Empire, no one can stop our swords, no one can stop our footsteps, hold high the battle flag, from this moment on, every step forward under your feet means every inch of the expansion of the empire's territory!"

Zoro's encouragement, the general, the thousand-surion, and the centurion conveyed to the ears of every imperial soldier.

The Imperial Expeditionary Army, 600,000 people, overwhelming the sky and filling the land.

The sound of drums and trumpets resounded in the sky, and the sound of the legion's march shook the entire sky of the Northern Continent.

"After five years of war in the Northern Continent, the rampant dogs of the Western Realm have finally come to an end, and now it is time for them to be punished. And they will soon understand that this punishment will be the wrath of God! ”

In the name of the Sky Empire, in the name of the god Sauron.

The imperial army from the Barbarian Continent has stepped onto the stage of war in the entire world.

Supported by the materials of the fireplace, the fireplace castle is headed south. Along the way, encountering strong, difficult-to-defend fortress cities, Sauron generally ordered a detour of Xunze.

And when you encounter a city that is easier to conquer, or where the defense is relatively sparsely defended. Then choose to attack without hesitation!

"Imperial soldiers, siege! ——”

Fierce siege battles were fought under the walls of more than a dozen cities.

Sauron personally commanded the army, opened his bow and shot arrows, fired all kinds of cannon projectiles, and after striking hard, he smashed the city gates directly.

When the battle was fierce, arrows and artillery stones rained down from the city, and many berserker soldiers were killed and wounded. But the Celestial Wing warriors personally supervised the battle, and it was not a problem to dig into the city.

The tenacious berserker, with a shield on his head, braving the rain of arrows and oil, and carrying siege equipment, the front team fell, and the rear team followed, and not one of them retreated.

The battle banner of the Sky Empire, spreading rapidly. A small episode occurred in this process, where the imperial army passed, all the people in the north consciously took up arms and joined the ranks of the imperial army.

"Long live the North, long live the Reinhardts! Chase away the Westland Dogs! Build our own empire! ”

In the face of absolute momentum, it is to challenge the rule of the emperor of the whole territory, and it is not a problem for the people of the north.

The army of the White Forest in the west occupies more than half of the land in the northern continent, and the identity of the peasants in the north has changed dramatically at this time.

The division of land among the nobles of the Western Frontier was clear, and the legal boundaries between liberty and unfreedom, as well as the boundaries of social life, were clear.

Almost every village belonged to one or a few local lords, and the land in the village was controlled by the lord, often in the form of large estates on estates.

The once freed man had to serve in labor with the lord. The process of becoming an unfree man was painful, and no farmer in a northern village was willing to become a hungry serf under the rule of dogs in the west.

………………

When the 600,000 Imperial Expeditionary Army arrived at the city of Blackwater.

Sauron looked at the heightened and thickened fortress walls and the well-defended White Forest soldiers, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Obviously, the enemy has prepared in advance."

Blackwater Fortress is the oldest royal residence of the Reinhardt family, and the remodeling made by successive Grand Dukes has made it an extraordinary building that shows the royal taste.

At a glance, Blackwater City sits like a behemoth on a hill, overlooking the Black Sea bay on one side. The strong city wall is supported by huge battlements, and every arch line and pattern rises upwards, making people feel a kind of upward upward force.

Blackwater City Fortress, which was evaluated by philosophers as the most artistic castle, "has the demeanor of a true king".

It's a pity that even a fortress with the demeanor of a king is still a little small in the eyes of Zoro. Blackwater City may be difficult for an ordinary army to conquer even if it takes several years.

But for the 5,000 Greenway Ice Shooters and 5,000 Skywing Warriors hidden in the army, the fortress was as ridiculous as a sheepfold under the claws of a tiger.

No matter how high the city wall is, it is impossible to block the wings of the giant eagle, and no matter how huge the wall battlements are, it cannot stop the sword, shield, and heavy spear of the eagle man.

In fact, the Sky Holy City's fourth-level skill Falling Heaven Strike didn't even need wings, and it could send five thousand Sky Wing Warriors into the walls of Blackwater City at the moment of the battle.

"Order the legions, neither besiege Blackwater nor besiege it. The army is stationed in place, waiting for ......"

Sauron's order sounded incredible, but no one would question it. In fact, in Sauron's eyes, it may only take half a day to conquer Blackwater City. However, after Blackwater City, it entered the central region of the Northern Continent, and there were more fortresses and fortresses in the future. It would be a waste of time to fight one by one, and it took five years for the White Forest Legion to occupy the land.

Sauron didn't think he had the patience. It is better to let the lords of Blackwater City call for help from the fortress cities around and behind, and wait until the enemies gather together and fight only one war to recover half of the land of the northern continent.

For the Imperial Expeditionary Army, it is only necessary to recuperate, eat and drink enough and wait for the enemy.

…………

Blackwater side.

When Earl Andrew, who was wearing armor, stood at the head of the city and looked down, his mouth grinning downward, his muscles not moving, and his expression of shock.

The army of black oppression is not a rabble of homeless people and farmers.

On the contrary, the facts in front of him were even more cruel than he expected, and the number of legions attacking Blackwater City had exceeded 600,000. And it was well armed, and the blue flag was the first time in his life that he had seen it.

"Despicable coward, in three days, your head will be hung on the head of the Blackwater City Fortress!"

Under Blackwater City, the wolf clan sentinels, and the Ice Clan tower shield infantry shouted viciously and glared back with fierce eyes.

Like the other White Forest soldiers, the stunned Earl Andrew only felt his mouth and tongue dry, and the back of his hand holding the hilt of his sword trembled vigorously. And with a trembling voice he commanded his servants,

"Quick...... Write a letter to the Grand Duke of the West, to the entire Imperial Realm, and to the Imperial Landing. This...... This is by no means an internal war, much less a rivalry between two imperial ducal families. This is an alien invasion, and this is supposed to be a war between an empire and an empire. The fall of the Wall of Despair has allowed ancient aliens to invade the northern continent. They claim to be the Sky Empire! ”

Ten days later. The long wait was running out of Sauron's patience.

On the eleventh day, early in the morning, the Black Sea ports suddenly became foggy, and the fog rose from the surface of the water and was milky white.

White and clear, transparent. The breeze blows, pushing the fog, moving, stagnating, condensing, and scattering, as if there are monsters lurking in it, ready to reveal its hideous bloody jaws.

Earl Farnes, the lord of Customs City, received a letter of help from Earl Andrew, personally led 50,000 White Forest Legions, and intercepted the 100,000 Black Naval Regiment that had returned from exterminating pirates.

The news brought by the wolf sentinels, totaling about 150,000 people, is reinforcing Blackwater City. has fallen into the ambush of the Imperial army,

……

The narrow Black Sea bay, the city of Blackwater is already in sight.

The car carried the Count of Faennes. Beginning to circle the coast towards Blackwater, Earl Farnes couldn't express any joy in the bumpy car, "How did the Northern Pig gather so many troops, could it be that it is really as Count Andrew said?" ”

"Will Earl Andrew do what he is told? It would be a great sin if he surrendered to the enemy. ”

A series of questions made Count Farnes's head as big as a fight, and seeing Blackwater City in sight, an unsteady mood was always haunting him.

Suddenly, there was a loud thunderous sound in the sky, and the Earl of Faennes listened closely, it was not thunder, but the projectiles of heavy cannons, which were covering the outposts of reinforcements on the other side of the river.

Count Farnes smiled dumbly and said to the people around him, "Hehe~~ Do you see it?" I made the right decision. The main corps was not allowed to cross the river from that side. Blackwater City is not under siege, and it seems that old Andrew is really dizzy. The enemy simply did not have half a million of them, and now, we could all enter the Blackwater Fortress safely. ”

Only to hear the words of the Count of Farnes not fall, and the piercing call passed through the air.

"Be careful, my lord, enemy fire!"

The guards, dressed in fine armor, hurriedly pulled the Count of Faens out of the chariot and pushed him there.

A pitched fire bomb hit the chariot with a loud "boom", scattering wood chips, along with a dead tree with the thick mouth of a nearby bowl, and it was only a test projectile that adjusted its bearing.

The ballistas that were still bombarding the other side just now came down on the head of Count Faens with a terrible howl.

The soldiers of the main army erected tower shields, because the shield walls were hastily arranged, and under the bombardment of fireballs and rocks, they suffered heavy losses.

Under the protection of the guards, the Count of Faennes lay down in a long trench, and the cannonballs blew up dust and covered his body.

At this moment, the Count of Farnes could not help but deeply regret his reckless decision.

Now, it's much safer to stay where you are.

"Protect the Commander, Lord of the Guard!"

At this moment, the guards all gathered in front of the picture of the Count of Faennes.

At this moment, he felt a sudden shock to his body, and the darkness in front of Count Faennes's eyes was repeated, he was hit by a fire bomb that dragged the trajectory, and most of the people around him died on the spot. The Earl of Farnes did not die immediately, but his limbs had been torn apart, his flesh and blood were blurred, and he was in a coma for an extremely short time, but his brain had a kind of relapse of lucidity. He distinctly heard the shrill whistling of the fireballs.

"Woo woo woo ——————"

It was an ambush, the trumpet of the charge sounded, and there were 200,000 berserkers, wielding swords, under the leadership of Bellinger and Xianli, making an overwhelming "killing" sound, and countless iron blades shining dazzlingly in the sun.

Dense waves of Imperial soldiers poured up.

The wind and clouds surged, the flames burned the plains, and the cries and screams intertwined on the side of the bay, and the light of blood and the light of the sword were reflected.

Feathered arrows were shuttling back and forth over the battlefield, soldiers slashing their swords at the heads of their enemies one by one with red eyes and anger, the speed of the wolf soldiers, the madness of the berserkers, and the agility of the archers from the sky......

From ambushes to slaughter, from soldiers to demons and killing machines, that's how brutal war is.

At such a time, everything is 'credited' to the rulers who fought for 'justice', and when a war breaks out, there is no justice until the side that wins the 'justice' is mastered.

"Stupid Earl of Farnes, a stupid pig. More than 100,000 people are crammed into the narrow valley, which is simply despicable. You must know that Blackwater City is close at hand, and we can get reinforcements of 150,000 soldiers in the blink of an eye, but it's just a little bit, damn it! ”

Standing on the watchtower of Blackwater, Earl Andrew, the lord of Blackwater, was simply furious. Seeing that fifteen people were being slaughtered in all directions in the trough, Earl Andrew's heart was bleeding. You must know that these White Forest Legions are the sum of the city defense forces of six cities, including Customs City, North Acropolis, and South Acropolis. (To be continued.) )
