Elwyn Line.

The Caesar's Empire's massive fortress on the outskirts of the Gran Forest was brightly lit even at night, and although the number of soldiers patrolling was slightly smaller than during the day, it was far superior in quality to daytime patrols.

The patrol team at night is mostly composed of mages from the Magic Guild and soldiers who have cultivated their fighting spirit in the garrison of the Caesar Empire, and their strength and physical strength are far superior to the ordinary soldier patrols during the day. The reason for this arrangement is also to take into account that the combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers will be reduced a lot at night, and after sufficient rest, these ordinary soldiers can burst out with stronger combat effectiveness.

It was nearly midnight when a team patrolling outside the Elwin Line suddenly noticed a sudden sound in the jungle not far away. From the sound, they could tell that there were at least a dozen people approaching the Elwyn Line at the same time.

"Stop, everyone be on guard, someone is approaching!"

The leader of the patrol team raised his hand and signaled.

As his words fell, the members of the patrol team quickly formed a formation of seven warriors and three magicians outside.

Boom

The sound of breaking through the air sounded, and figures jumped out of the jungle and landed in front of the Elwin Line. When these people saw the patrol team guarding them, they couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then a middle-aged man with a strength that had reached the middle level of the fifth order came forward and said, "Misunderstanding, brother, misunderstanding, we are our own people. ”

Own?

The patrol team leader was stunned when he heard this, but instead of letting him go immediately, he asked, "Since it's your own person, then please say the password tonight." ”

Because there was a garrison on the Elwin Line, Olaf, the supreme commander of the garrison, also changed the password every night according to the rules of the army. Once someone approaches the fortress at night and can't answer the password, then they will be treated as spies and killed on the spot.

"The password is the king of heaven and the tiger. ”

"Well, the river demon of Pagoda Town, the password is correct, the brothers are their own people, let them go!" The patrol team leader waved his hand, and the members behind him immediately withdrew their fighting energy and magic power, but they still maintained the necessary vigilance in their eyes.

"Hoo ......"

Seeing that the password was matched, the fifth-order middle-aged man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he spoke: "Where is General Olaf again? I have information about Lord Sharan here." ”

As soon as he heard the information about Shalan, the patrol leader didn't say anything, and the three magicians behind him said excitedly: "Where is Lord Shalan? Do you need us to help? As long as it is Lord Shalan's order, even if we die, we will not hesitate to die." ”

I have long heard that the authority of the magic guild leader Fa Saint Sharan in his guild is extremely high, but I didn't expect to see it today. The middle-aged man said in his heart.

"I'm sorry, but Master Sharan has already given me this information, and I can only let General Olaf know about it. The middle-aged man directly refused.

"Okay, please here, I'll send someone to inform the general. ”

"Thank you. ”

With that, the middle-aged man led a group of more than a dozen people and walked quickly into the Elwin defense line.

The dozen or so people, led by the middle-aged man, were also members of the patrol team that had followed Sharan before, and after fighting the pretenders left behind by the violent search group, they withdrew to the Elwyn line on Shalan's orders, and also brought Shalan's latest instructions.

In the middle of the fortress, inside a giant tent.

Olaf, the Caesar Empire's supreme commander in the Elwin Line, was looking at the latest information from the depths of the Glen Forest that came from the Imperial Intelligence Department during the day with an oil lamp.

According to the intelligence, at present, in the depths of the Gran Forest, there are more than 150,000 goblins and more than 10,000 minotaurs whose strength is comparable to that of third-order demonic beasts, plus those seven or eight thousand various demonic beasts that are eyeing from the sidelines, all of which add up to enough to give Olaf a headache.

"Report to the General, Lord Samir and they have returned, and have brought with them the latest instructions from Lord Sharan. An announcement came from outside the tent.

"Well, I see, let Samir in. ”

"Yes, General. ”

Not long after the answer fell, a middle-aged man walked into the tent quickly, and it was the middle-aged man who led the team before.

"Samir see the general. ”

"Get up, what instructions do you have, Lord Sharan?" asked Olaf looking up.

Samir stood up and said, "Lord Sharan has already traveled to the depths of the Gran Forest, waiting for an opportunity to break into the Cave of Sorrow, so she hopes that the general will act accordingly to cooperate with her plan." ”

"I see, thank you Samir, go down and rest, after dawn we can free our hands and feet. Olaf said.

"What does the general mean?" said Samir with a hint of excitement.

He had already heard something special from Olaf's mouth, and to be honest, the battle had really upset Samir. There is no other reason, those pretenders are not like people and ghosts, they are too difficult to kill. And Samir, who was born in the army, naturally likes the feeling of real knives and real guns, so he has long wanted to take his brother into the Gran Forest to fight the goblins, minotaurs and monsters.

"I have already agreed with Lord Sharan that as soon as she goes to the depths of the Gran Forest, my side will attack accordingly to match her actions, so take a good rest, there are only a few hours before dawn, and there is a tough battle waiting for us at that time. Olaf said.

"Yes, General!" Samir, who had learned the exact information, replied excitedly.

Then he walked briskly out of the tent.

After Samir had left, Olaf shouted outside the tent: "Tell me to go down and let all the brothers on patrol withdraw and rest, and after dawn we will attack the Gran Forest." ”

"Yes!"

......

Six continent hours later

It was already dark, and Olaf, who had not slept all night, blew out the oil lamp on the table in one breath, strode out of the tent and shouted: "Herald, blow the assembly trumpet!"

Woo~~~

The sound of loud trumpets roamed through the Elwin Line in the early morning, and groups of soldiers who had already been dressed ran out of their tents and assembled in the open space inside the fortress.

At the same time, one by one, the magicians also came out of the specific tent and stood in groups of three or five next to the military formation.

Glancing at the sparse magicians in the team, Olaf couldn't help frowning, but his brows loosened after only a moment, because he knew that these magicians from the Magic Guild were usually like lords, and now it was obviously impossible for them to line up like soldiers.

"Brothers, the army of our Caesar Empire has always been invincible, and the orcs are very powerful, and they can't even raise their heads when they fight the Blazing Empire, but what happened when they met us Caesar? And today, instead of tall and strong orcs, we are standing in front of us, but a bunch of lowly goblins and minotaurs, tell me out loud, what are we going to do?" Olaf said loudly as he stood on the podium.

"Tear them apart, tear them apart, tear them apart!"

After three neat roars, Olaf glanced at the dense soldiers in the audience with satisfaction, and said loudly: "Very good, this is my Caesar's good boy, I order, the army will be pulled out, and the target is the monster defense line of the Gran Forest!"

"Yes!"

With a roar, columns of soldiers, led by their respective centurions, began to advance towards the depths of the Glen Forest, each team of centurions was equipped with three to five magicians, fully solving the problem of the lack of long-range firepower of the centurions.

And this time, the 100,000 legions of the Caesar Empire in the entire Elwyn Line, Olaf directly mobilized 60,000 plus 1,500 magicians whose strength was above the fourth order, and divided into three ways to approach the depths of the Gran Forest. The remaining 40,000 men were stationed in the fortress as a reserve for quick support in case the battle reached a stalemate.

......

The early morning of the Gran Forest was originally a good place for birds and flowers, but with the sudden change of Shylock and the gathering of a large number of demonic beasts and humans, this tranquility of the Gran Forest was completely destroyed.

The approach of the 60,000 human army naturally attracted the attention of the goblin army and the minotaurs in the depths of the Glen Forest, and under the encouragement of some unknown force, the goblins and minotaurs also began to slowly rush towards the direction of the human army.

At the same time, as the goblins and minotaurs moved, the thousands of demonic beasts that used them as food also began to move in groups. Only a few demonic beasts whose strength had reached the fifth order or above were still waiting in place, while their eyes were fixed in the direction of the Screaming Cave in the distance.

Because these demonic beasts with completed minds know very well that there seems to be something very beneficial to their growth in that direction, but the powerful momentum that accompanies that thing makes them hesitate to act.

......

"Tell the general, the spies from the front have reported that a small force of hundreds of goblins has encountered our front army, and is now in a fierce battle. ”

"yes, I see. ”

Olaf replied, then asked, "Are there any variants in this group of goblins?"

"Back to the general, there are two fifth-order variants of Luo Lei Kailuo inside. ”

It's not going to be easy to do now.

Olaf frowned, and then said, "Summons, let Samir lead two fifth-order sword sects to support, be sure to deal with those two variants before we arrive." ”

"Yes. ”

The herald hurriedly retreated.

After a while, the four men and four horsemen separated from the group in front of them, and the prancing horses whipped up and hurried towards the depths of the Gran.

Olaf immediately closed his eyes and pondered, there were already two fifth-order variants in just a few hundred goblins, and it was hard to imagine how many variants existed among the more than 150,000 goblins.

"Let's hope things don't get as bad as I expected. Olaf slowly opened his eyes and muttered.
