It is almost June, the temperature in the western part of the Karon Kingdom is gradually rising, and the clear sky under the scorching sun is extremely visible, and when you look at it from the height of "Palov Fort", you can enjoy the scenery for nearly 100 kilometers.

The ruined walls tell that the castle has not been renovated for a long time. After all, this is the central part of the Karen Kingdom, more than fifty kilometers to the west, and after crossing the north-south Mer River, it is currently the most discussed territory of Ivota by the people of Karen.

And looking east from here, you can vaguely see a prosperous corner of Bergen's territory at the end of the field of vision. Compared with Bergen's territory, which was backed by the royal capital, the status of the Karst domain where the "Palov Castle" was located was very awkward - the income was average, the number of troops was average, the number of knights was average, and the strength of the nobility was average, and it seemed that everything here was in a state of "not up or down".

"Rada, do you have any arrangements for the evening?"

"What can be arranged? It seems that the little money you just got is not enough to go to Fuli Lane, right? Don't look for me, I don't borrow money. ”

The bored guards leaned against the city wall and chatted, the fort here was built early, the style was simple and clumsy, and when standing in the corridor of the city wall, one could only observe the distance through a small opening of a few tens of centimeters square. All in all, there had been no war here for more than ten years, and even if they knew that the territory of Evta was being invaded by orcs, they had never thought about the possibility of being attacked.

"How long do you think Ivota will last?"

"Who knows, I haven't seen an orc, so I'm going to retreat after a fight."

"Count Mirno didn't say that the Duchess of Evta was treason or something, he seems to be preparing to lead troops to recover Ivta's territory."

"If you want to go, you can go, you can't call us anyway, you want me to say-uh, what's that?"

The guard named Rada glanced over the observation hole in the wall beside him, stopped and looked out for a few seconds, and said strangely, "Troops from Ivta?" Is it a nobleman who was repelled by the orcs? ”

"Where? Let me see. ”

The companion next to him pushed him away and took a closer look - not to mention the number of scouts in the guards of this year, it is estimated that there are few guards in the entire territory who can read and write, so the two of them have watched for a long time, and they don't know what the dark shadow on the ground in the distance means.

"Do you want to report to the lord?"

"Let me see it, after all, didn't Count Mirno say that he would send troops to fight them?"

As soon as the two guards combined, they hurriedly reported to the squad leader that "unknown troops have been found in the distance". The latter was busy shaking the dice and gambling with a few other subordinates at this time, where could he care about anything else. Just in time for the point bet, he rolled up more than thirty copper plates into his pocket, and as soon as he became excited, he completely forgot what the two guards had just said.

"Come on, come on, damn Lao Tzu will definitely win all your money today!"

Time passed like this, and after two hours, the team leader, who had made a lot of money, suddenly saw the two subordinates running over in a panic - "Captain! Yes, yes, there is a team rushing over! ”

"What's wrong with rushing here? Which nobleman has nothing to do running to the fortress to squat? If he does, go to the door and ask him what he's here for! As he spoke, he placed a handful of copper coins in his hand in the "small" area, and continued to play without raising his head.

But then, a sudden noisy shout made the crowd raise their heads.

The squad leader stood up and shouted, "What are you shouting about? In broad daylight, do you dare to come to the fortress to rob or not? ”

He got up and walked a few steps, looking down from the gap in the battlement, but he sat directly on the ground with a "whoosh"...

Several unknown guards looked over together, but saw that more than 100 strong orcs riding wolves were rushing into the castle without hindrance, slashing and slashing the fleeing soldiers and civilians in all directions, no one could stop them!

And looking out of the city, there are still nearly a thousand infantry arrays that are constantly following behind, all of them holding swords, full of evil spirit!

The guards didn't have time to discern if the distant village had been captured, because the fate of the territory had already been pronounced the moment the orcs came into their sight...

Sauron's soldiers were noticeably more disciplined than the other Overseers, and even when they stormed the castle, they did not appear to be completely burned and plundered. Instead of stopping in the outer city where there were a large number of humans, they quickly captured the gates in small teams, and then directly entered the inner city, overthrowing the captains and soldiers who tried to resist, and completely controlling the entire castle.

The process went as smoothly as expected, and the orcs didn't even encounter any decent resistance from start to finish. As Sauron stepped up to the highest tower of the castle, columns of black smoke were rising from the six villages in the immediate vicinity.

"Great Chief, why are the humans here so vulnerable? They are like lambs! ”

Sauron's lieutenant sighed. He felt like a dream in front of him: more than 30,000 orcs had been unable to attack Ivota for a long time, and had struggled to support it to the point of running out of ammunition, but only one fortress had been laid. And at the moment, 1,400 people rushed over such a large castle, and it took only twenty minutes to completely announce the capture of it.

"Six villages have been captured by us, and now we don't have to worry about food anymore! Great Chief, no wonder you have to abandon most of your baggage and rush all the way here, it turns out that their hinterland is not defended at all! ”

The other lieutenant couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and he couldn't wait to let out a few screams - as a subordinate of the Great Chief, he had been sneered at by several Overseers before, and now that he had such a victory, it really made all the orcs who followed Sauron feel angry.

"This is just the beginning, we can't stop, otherwise it will be difficult to get out after the other party reacts." Zoro didn't have a look on his face, he wasn't here to see the scenery. Turning his head to look at Bergen's territory, which was still calm, he stretched out his finger and said: "Select the thinner wolf cavalry to come out, let them put on human robes, and ride human war horses to scatter and reconnoitre." I need information on those forts. ”

"Yes! Great Chief! ”

"Rado, restrain the men who control the village and tell them not to kill them cleanly. We need to have enough logistical troops to transport food, and we can't do that on our own, you know? ”

"Yes! Great Chief! ”

"Count the weapons and armor, I'm going to celebrate our warriors in the evening," Zoro stood on top of the tower and raised his fist at the orcs looking up below, "Long live the orcs!" ”

"Long live the orcs!"

The shouts were deafening.

………………

"They're attacking Elson, Your Majesty."

In the palace, the Count of Mirno was bowing down deeply, and whispered to Charles II the latest battle situation: "There is already a fortress in Ivota that has begun to fall, although they have held out for a long time, but now this line of defense has been breached. The orcs are not stupid, they will soon be able to take advantage of Sally's defenses... Smash! ”

Mirno struggled to keep his emotions in check, but the twisted hatred still made him grit his teeth in the last few words.

Charles II naturally heard the meaning, but he would not persuade half of it at all. As a monarch, he wished that he would have as many courtiers as possible - needless to say, Mirno had already done the work of Ivota properly, and what was he not satisfied with?

"What do you think of the orc forces? Let's hear it. ”

Charles II sat casually in his armchair, his four fingers tapping the back of the chair in an orderly manner, but he was thinking about when to send someone to negotiate with the orcs.

"They don't know anything about siege, but they have a lot of combat capabilities in the plains." Mirno told the truth, "Sally's line of defense consists of a series of fortresses and castles, and the orcs have not been able to attack it for a long time because they can't even build basic siege equipment, but now they have found the trick..."

Charles II laughed twice and waved his hand: "If you want to fight on the plains, it is enough to send Count Moore to organize his cavalry." Let those orcs see the true strength of my Karen royal family, and they will naturally know what to do. For now, let Evta consume their sharpness, otherwise these guys probably won't want to sit down and negotiate. ”

The Earl of Moore was Charles II's right-hand man. The skinny old man was not ambiguous about the battle, and Charles II had full confidence in him after all these years of victories - not to mention persecuting the orcs, or by the way, to defeat Evta himself, it should be a "handy" thing.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Alright, Mirnor, you've had a hard time these days." Charles II got up and walked up to Mirno, patting him lightly on the shoulder, "When I level Ivta, you will have at least five successful labors, and I will not forget these." ”

Mirno bent deeply, knowing that his position in the eyes of Charles II was completely secure.

But there is one thing he is looking forward to at the moment, and that is to let Roddy die at the hands of the orcs as soon as possible...

But he would never have imagined that Roddy was not in Elson City at all. The demon hunter was in the dry room with Merinthra studying the "abilities" of the Teflin in front of him - and the cavalry and barbarian soldiers who had been in the village were only twenty of them.

With three days to go before the decisive battle with Dasco, Roddy still looks laid-back. However, only he knew that studying Tevelin's abilities at this time was actually to find out what Augustine was looking for.

Of these Tevlins, Luther the Elder was the most powerful. His strength after transformation has skyrocketed tenfold, and if he is armed enough, he is definitely a tank-like existence on the battlefield - why his body can be so mutated, Roddy and Merinsela are curious.

In order to study the effects of the "infection" on Tevelyn, Merinthera tried various methods to measure the strange power in Luther's body. After discovering that the results were uncertain, she finally decided to cut open a small wound and use a spell to determine what would happen to Tevelyn's blood during the transformation.

"Hah!"

Luther obediently transformed, and the wound on his forearm quickly healed with the effect of the transformation, but the blood that flowed out released a lilac light and fluctuations under the control of Merinthella's spell, Roddy raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by the power released by this blood, he turned his head to say something to Melinthella, but saw that her face suddenly changed greatly, and she looked at herself and took several steps back...

Roddy's heart suddenly tightened, and even if he didn't look in the mirror, he felt the slight burning sensation in his left eye.

A dazzling white-gold circle of light appeared around the pupils, and the appearance of the "Mark of the Dragon Slayer" meant that within 10 kilometers, a giant dragon appeared...
