The reason why Edward did not lead the troops himself was that he felt that he did not need to deal with the Orc Empire, and on the other hand, he thought that the Demon Hunter Knights could take advantage of this opportunity to train without him.

When he returned from Solidaxia, he brought his daughter Nia Salis with him, and placed her in a hut in the canopy of Ondashir, where his doppelganger accompanied her.

After Edward had finished planning for the Northern Expedition, he took Ania to the hut with her.

When the two arrived, the canopy-built hut was surrounded by elves, and Edward's clone was casting a pair of hands of light, holding Nia to play with them among the branches.

The little ones were very happy, giggling and waving their little hands in an attempt to catch the mischievous elves.

"I really envy the fool to be able to have such a cute little guy with you. Annia looked at little Nia and said, "We don't know when we can have such a child." ”

"I'm sorry for wronging you. Edward smiled bitterly and hugged Aniah's shoulder.

"There's no way around it. Annia smiled reluctantly, "It's all because our strength has developed too fast, and by the time we know this rule, it's already too late." ”

"However, I am sure that little Nia will live a very happy life, at least she will be loved by many people, this little guy is so cute. Anya wiped her eyes, flew up, took little Nia, and held her in her arms.

Little Nia didn't seem to know that she was afraid, and she was hugged by someone else, still giggling, and grabbed Aniah's blonde hair hanging down her chest with her little hands.

"Charlie, how many planes do I need to devour to heal little Nia's weakness?" Edward smiled as he watched the two fly and frolic in the air.

"Since the previous plane was a rare fusion plane, your achievements are also ideal, and you have gained a lot of achievement points. Charlie's voice appeared in Edward's mind, "If the next time you cross, you still experience this world, then you only need to devour two more." ”

"It's okay, it won't be too long. Edward said with a sigh of relief.

"However, if you want to be faster, I suggest you go to the planes that haven't been devoured before. Charlie suggested, "Especially the Azeroth plane, which is close to the High Devil, and devouring it rewards two to three times as many achievement points as the fantasy plane. ”

"Moreover, your layout and foundation in Azeroth are already strong enough to allow you to put a lot less thought into it. ”

"You mean I'm just going to devour the Azeroth plane?" Edward asked, impressed.

"That's right, that's what it means. Charlie affirmed, "If you accumulate achievement points." ”

"Is there a way, then, to shorten the interval between the days?" thought Edward, "I feel very uncomfortable looking at little Nia's weak body, and I hope to heal her soon." ”

"There's no way around this, not even if you spend achievement points. Charlie sighed, "This kind of extravagant effort to cross the plane barrier of the plane cluster is not something I can do, even among the nine main gods, only a few people can do it. And to be able to give this ability to a ring, it is estimated that only the deity can do it. ”

"So, unless you have a lot of achievement points and ask the deity to cast a spell, you can shorten the period. ”

Edward sighed, reluctantly giving up the idea, and could only wait anxiously for the next time travel day.

In order to alleviate this anxiety, Edward frequently used the portal in the following period, appearing in the two armies of the Northern Expedition, but did not make a move, just watched from the sidelines.

The Demon Hunter Knights' northern expedition was going very well, and their sudden declaration of war caught them off guard, even if the Orc Empire had already taken precautions.

Legolas's southeastern forces were particularly quick to attack with the help of the behemoth the Demon Hunter.

From the declaration of war to the dispatch of troops, and then to the siege of the city, it took only seven days for the army of the southeast road to penetrate almost the entire eastern part of the orc empire. In the face of the Demon Hunter with black clouds overwhelming, several towns in the eastern region of the Orc Empire, far from the center, had already opened their gates and surrendered before the battle began-most of the troops on the southeast road were air troops, and no matter how tall the walls of the Orc Empire were, they were useless.

Ten days later, the Demon Hunter Knights officially declared their occupation of the eastern region of the Orc Empire, and together with the three biospheres that had been built in the north of the Free City, they were combined into a single province, called the Sea Ice Province.

Completed the capture of the eastern part of the Orc Empire

After that, the Demon Hunter did not repair at all, and continued to march westward, until the battle line was pushed to the north-central part of the empire before stopping its advance, and eyeing the Divine Claw in a state of coercion, cooperating with Hayley's southern army to go north.

Compared with the speed of the march of the army on the southeast road, the army on the south route was obviously much more difficult. After all, the road north from the Yak Fortress was the only way for the Okaslei Kingdom to reach the Divine Claw Capital, and the resistance encountered was relatively strong.

But it was only a little stronger, facing the elite troops of the Demon Hunter Knights, the outlying towns of the Orc Empire were not a threat at all, and although the offensive was a little slow, it was very steady. The captured towns were all defended and portals were built, and the populace did not resist fiercely, but welcomed the arrival of the Demon Hunter Knights.

I have to mention the orcs who have long since surrendered to the Demon Hunter Knights. It was precisely with the appearance and persuasion of the bones and others that the offensive of the army on the southern route would not lag behind the southeast road by a lot, and the front line would be pushed to the central and southern parts of the country in ten days.

When the Southern Route army passed through the branches of the Yak Mountains and officially entered the core area of the Orc Empire, the Southern Route Army could be regarded as having really encountered a little decent resistance. From the mountains to the sacred claw, there is an endless grassland, and now this season, the grassland has turned into a white snowfield. It is densely packed with troops of various orc tribes, as well as many abyssal empire demonic beasts hidden under the snowy plains.

As a result, the first tough battle after the Demon Hunter Knights declared war on the Orc Empire, and the second battle after the rise of the Demon Hunter Knights, officially began, known as the Battle of the Wild Plateau.

Edward landed far away on a mountain rock and watched as the Knights of the Demon Hunters in the distance lined up in a neat array, fearlessly heading north.
