The human kingdom has a population of 20 million and an army of millions. Among them, the Eastern Army has the largest number of troops, with 500,000 regular troops and 50,000 elite troops, a total of 550,000!

The mixed legion has 170,000 regular troops, 50,000 knights, and 30,000 priests, for a total of 250,000!

The Southern Army has 160,000 regular troops and 10,000 elite troops, a total of 170,000!

The 970,000 troops, of which about 400,000 were stationed in various towns of the human kingdom, belonged to the guards, and were not easily mobilized unless there was an emergency. Therefore, the number of troops that the kingdom can draw is actually only 570,000.

In addition, it is necessary to leave behind to guard against the elven kingdom, the lotus swamp and the monsters roaming the borders of the kingdom, and the kingdom has drawn a total of 60,000 elite troops in the alliance five months ago.

The elves also had the intention of guarding against the human kingdom suddenly breaking the covenant, because they also did not press all their forces on the alliance, and only 30,000 of the kingdom's 300,000 troops were drawn.

The Lotus Swamp is more like a gathering place for scattered cultivators, and most of the magicians living in it don't care about the world, so they are the weakest, and the total number of troops is only 100,000, and they barely draw out an army of 10,000 magicians and join the Dragon Slaying Alliance.

This is also the reason why Barna in the plot did not completely despair after seeing the Alliance army wiped out by the black dragon - at any cost, even if he uses a pile of people, 1.4 million troops can pile up the black dragon to death!

Now, excluding the 10,000 elites who had been lost, the 200,000 guards stationed in the eastern provinces were removed. In addition to the 150,000 troops guarding against the Elven Kingdom, Qin Shao still had 190,000 horses under his command, including 30,000 elite troops and 170,000 regular troops.

As for the monsters, because of the raid five months ago, a total of more than 100,000 horses were lost.

That's pretty good already.

One to ten, the comparison of 100,000 and 1 million troops, if it weren't for the sudden fall of the black dragon, it would be impossible to say that after the monster army gained a foothold, there was no possibility of wrapping the dumplings of the alliance army!

190,000 horses, against an army of nearly 900,000 monsters in the dark valley, even if his head was kicked by the black dragon, Qin Shao would not do this!

Fortunately, the battle line of the monster army was long enough, and it was pulled directly from the human kingdom to the elven kingdom, which greatly reduced the pressure on the eastern legion. Otherwise, Qin Shao would have no choice but to abandon the car to protect the commander, temporarily cede part of the eastern land to the monsters, and gather all his strength for defense!

"Report ...... The elves have sent messengers to come, and they have arrived outside the camp, do our troops want to greet them? A small soldier hurriedly arrived, got down on one knee, and reported.

"Elven messenger? The elves have always had constant friction with our army, how could they send messengers, could it be a deception? The lean man hadn't left yet, and when he heard the little soldier's announcement, he couldn't help but wonder.

"The elves and my human kingdom are still in an alliance, and I'm afraid I'm here for the monsters this time." Qin Shao looked in the direction of the Crescent Forest and said lightly.

"Greet the elven envoy with the highest rules, don't make any small moves behind your back, lest you lose the face of my human race!"

"Yes!"

The creeps hurried down again.

Qin Shao looked at the man beside him and said, "Patton, you are also the commander of the First Army, and when you look at the problem in the future, you must start from the overall situation." Now that the enemies of our Eastern Legion and the Elven Kingdom are all black dragons, how could they turn against our army at this time? Unless that messenger isn't an elf! ”

"Isn't it?" Barton was shocked: "I'll prepare a knife and axe to ambush her outside the tent and kill her!" ”

Qin Shao waved his hand weakly: "You better go and arrange the army, it's none of your business here." ”

………

Ten minutes later, two groups of soldiers led an elf into the tent. At this time, Qin Shao had already put on his armor and sat upright on the main seat, with a majestic momentum.

However, when he saw the elven messenger, his majesty immediately disappeared: "Liya! How are you? ”

Leah smiled mischievously and said, "The entire elf clan met me and Her Royal Highness the princess and you, and the princess was entangled in military affairs and couldn't get out, so she sent me here!" By the way, what about the salted fish? I didn't see him all the way. ”

"Lambert is now in charge of a thousand men, and he is majestic, but he is not the salted fish he used to be! Unfortunately, he led the army to patrol around Kaidra early in the morning. ”

"A thousand?!" Leah's eyes widened: "Even his kid who hasn't even grown hair, you dare to let him take so many people, I'm not afraid of being taken to the ditch by him!" ”

Qin Shao said: "Lambert has lived in Kaidra since he was a child, and he is familiar with the surrounding terrain, which is just right in handy now. And don't underestimate this kid, he has killed a lot of monsters and has made outstanding achievements! ”

"Look at the time, Lambert is coming back, and let him tell you about his heroic deeds, and promise that you will fall in love with him. What did Nervin send you for? ”

Leah blushed and said, "Her Royal Highness wants to cooperate with you to exterminate the remaining monsters in the Dark Valley. ”

Qin Shao pondered for a moment and said, "The terrain of the Dark Valley is complex, and your elves are flexible, but they are not afraid. But for me as a human, the terrain is extremely unfavorable. ”

The human kingdom has a population of 50 million, the largest in the continent. And the elves have a population of only six million, which is nearly ten times different from humans. The reason why they can resist the attack of the human army is that, on the one hand, the individual elves are strong, twice as strong as the human soldiers; On the one hand, there is the environment of the Crescent Forest!

"Her Royal Highness the princess knows the disadvantages of your army, this cooperation, my elven army will drive out the monsters in the dark valley, you only need to ambush outside the dark valley, and wait for work!"

"That's possible, but in that case, won't you elves suffer?"

Lia said loudly: "In order to destroy the monsters, for the peace of Artria, this sacrifice is still acceptable to our elven race!" ”

Qin Shao stroked his palms and sighed, and then said, "Since you elf clan can sacrifice for the mainland, our human race cannot be left behind. In this way, there are still 40,000 elites left in the Eastern Legion, and they will return to the Crescent Forest with you and join your army of encirclement and suppression in the valley. ”

"But there has always been a gap between my elves and your Eastern Legion, and the combination of the two will definitely cause a lot of friction." Leah said with some concern.

"It's okay, for the sake of peace on the mainland, I think they can restrain it. And the person who led the team this time is a person who has no prejudice against your elven race, and with him in control of the army, the two clans will definitely be safe. ”

Leah looked puzzled: "Apart from you, who else in the human race is not prejudiced against us elves?" ”

Qin Shao smiled: "I didn't say that he was a human race. ”

"Is it ......?" Two people came to Leah's mind.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind her, gentle and familiar: "Liya, long time no see." ”

"Geraint, it's really you!" Leah turned her head and said happily. Then a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes: "Hey, where is your sister Aljeta?" ”

Geraint smiled awkwardly, "I ran out secretly." ”

Leah's eyes widened for a moment.

Qin Shao relieved Gelante and said, "Gelante couldn't worry about the situation on the mainland, so he walked out of the secluded valley and came to the eastern part of the kingdom. Seeing that he had nothing to do, I left him behind, and I returned with you to the Crescent Forest today. ”

"I just hope Aljeta doesn't get mad at me." Geraint lowered her head and sighed softly.

………

The Crescent Forest is located in the southeast of the Altrian continent, bordering the Lotus Swamp, the Human Kingdom, and the Dark Valley, and to the east, there is the Sigh Canyon, one of the continent's dangerous places.

After saying goodbye to Qin Shao, Leah and Geraint led 30,000 elites to the border between the Crescent Forest and the Human Kingdom, where they joined the elves and the remaining 10,000 elites of the Eastern Legion to approach the Dark Valley together.

Qin Shao left 100,000 horses, led by Patton, and continued to implement the plan of "encirclement and reinforcement". He led the rest of the men and horses to the predetermined location, and gathered the rest of the army, set up ambushes layer by layer, and prepared a huge "surprise" for the monster!

As time passed, the footsteps of winter entered the eastern provinces of the human kingdom, and flakes of snow fell from the sky, carrying the breath of 10,000 meters in the air and the vast sea.

As the snowflakes fell, the monsters also came out of the dark valley, in groups, and there was no boundary. They are like black waves, even more numerous than snowflakes falling from the sky.

They are like refugees, some of them are in the prime of life, and some are old and weak, women and children. In the invisible corners of humans and elves, they are as humble and weak as ants. They searched for everything they could put in their mouths and swallow in their stomachs, and they cared for the flame of life.

Under the glory of one race, the sorrow of another race is buried.

Depending on the viewing angle, the angle from which you see it is also different. Qin Shao is a traverser, an outsider in the Altrian continent. He was not blinded by hatred, but saw not the ferocity of the monsters, but their sorrow.

Kobolds, Minotaurs, Giants...... Their original racial title has been thrown into the dust of history, and since the rise of humans and elves and the occupation of half of Altria, they have only one title - monsters!

The survival of the fittest!

The dark and bloody law of the jungle exists and prevails in civilized countries with a twisted justice. As a result, the monster became a subordinate of the black dragon, a sinner on the mainland, and cowered in the barren dark valley, abandoned by this heaven and earth.

Now Qin Shao wants to bury them with his own hands!

Bury their bodies, their souls, the glory and glory of their time, the pain and struggle of this era. Since then, including this era, there has been no such thing as their presence in Artria.

The inheritance of the fire of civilization is as fragile as bathing in the winter sun, and the ice under the eaves is crystal bright and dangerous!

"Arteria will forget you, history will forget you, but time will not forget, and I will not forget, that there were several races on this continent that struggled desperately and were finally abandoned by the times."

"From now on, this is the ...... Forgotten Valley! ”
