The southern army led by Hayley quickly engaged the orc forces scattered across the Yak Plateau, and entered a sweeping situation from the very beginning of the battle.

The current Demon Hunter Knights have matured after many battles in the Atlas. The cooperation between the various arms is also increasing day by day, and it has been perfected, and it is already a top-level existence in the land of the Eastern Continent.

Moreover, the orc troops on the Wild Plateau were scattered, most of them were not the top troops of the Orc Empire, and they were about to collapse at the first touch, and Edward shook his head when he saw it, and he didn't even have the interest to participate in the war.

From the battle of the Yak Mountains, Edward could see that the most elite part of the Demon Hunter Knights was still the Crossing Legion on the Demon Hunter. There are these soldiers in the two armies, whether it is a blitzkrieg or a tough battle, the combat effectiveness they show surpasses the troops in the free city, and truly reaches the top level.

After looking at it for a while, Edward couldn't stand it anymore, and spread his wings of light and flew to the rear. The pacification regiment led by Shante and the skeleton is in a town in the southern part of the Yak Plateau.

From the air, there are not many traces of battle in the small town, only a large number of messy footprints on the surrounding snow, confirming that many people have passed here. The town was peaceful, and some orcs gathered around the bones, smiling and asking about the bones, and some even wept with joy and knelt down in public.

"How's the work going?" said Edward as he landed beside Shante outside the crowd, looking at the orcs gathered around the skeleton.

"Sir, it's going well. Shante bowed slightly to Edward and said with a smile, "The Orc Empire's methods are simply inhumane, and there is no trouble at all in convincing these people to join me Ondore." Our system is a gift from heaven to these people who have long been oppressed by the law of the jungle. ”

"Are you using the name of the Kingdom of Ondore?" asked Edward, frowning.

"It's a matter of time, and we've all agreed. Shante shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't understand why Sir is so disgusted with the state, but using the name of the Papal State of Ondore will help to end this war as soon as possible." ”

"What does Hayley mean?" Edward sighed.

"Yes, she is the commander-in-chief of the Southern Route Army, and her orders we must obey. ”

"Forget it, just go ahead. Edward smiled wryly, "How many towns have we occupied so far?"

"With the addition of the East Road Army, we have already occupied seventeen towns, thirteen of which I have managed with the skeleton's pacification group, and four are border cities, the number of people is relatively small, and we have not sent people over yet. ”

"Haven't you met with resistance?"

"Of course there is resistance. "So far, we've met with a lot of resistance. Most of the rebels were town leaders, with werewolves, tigers, and bears in the majority. However, there were no casualties, and all those who resisted were defeated and captured by Lady Nataya's scout forces, and taken to Free City for reflection. ”

Edward had been in the Free City lately, moving between Ondashir and Ozrem, and had not paid much attention to the Northern Expedition, so he asked Shanter some questions. After a brief conversation, the skeleton finally finished explaining to the people, walked over to this side, and bowed deeply to Edward.

"Thank you, Edward...... Your Majesty. The skeleton thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for treating us orcs in such a gentle way. ”

"No thanks, bones. Edward smiled, "This is the purpose of our Demon Hunter Knights, and we are forgiving to those dark creatures who live underground, not to mention you ordinary civilians who have been oppressed for a long time. ”

"That's the most precious thing, Your Majesty. ”

"Don't call me Your Majesty yet, you can call me lord or regimental leader. Edward interrupted.

"This ...... All right, my lord. The skeleton glanced at Shante suspiciously, and changed his words, "We fox people don't live long, but we are one of the few orc races that have their own written history. ”

"We have seen many forces rise and fall in our history, but we have never seen anything like the Knights of the Demon Hunters. ”

"Isn't that bad?"

"No, that's great. "The rise of a powerful nation is accompanied by disaster and death. When this power reaches unprecedented strength, the leaders will be confused by this power, so there are many more conquests and demises after major battles in the historical record. ”

"There has never been a country in history that can accommodate so many different races at the same time, and it is also a few different races with completely different living habits. ”

"What are you trying to say? Mr. Bones. Edward asked with a smile as he looked at the bones.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little excited. The skeleton was a little incoherent, calmed down, and half-knelt down, "I want to say that from the moment I joined Free City, I actually didn't really want to. But living in Free City and coming into contact with several high-ranking members of the Demon Hunter Order changed my mind. ”

"Now, on behalf of all the oppressed orc races, I formally pledge my allegiance to the Lord. For the glory of the Papal States of Ondore, we will give everything we have. ”

Edward and Shante looked at each other, both smiling. Edward picked up the skeleton and said, "Don't give everything so terrible, just live well." ”

The skeleton wiped his eyes and continued, "Actually, before the Knights set out on the expedition, I had already secretly contacted some resistance groups, and now that the capture of the Divine Claws is imminent, it is time to activate them. ”

"Resistance, you mean ......"

"No, it's not like the rebels outside the capital, which are made up of refugees. "Skeleton Dao, "They are all old subordinates who originally supported the old lion king, and after being persecuted by Lacey, they lurked in the Divine Claw Capital to carry out a rebellion. I will infiltrate the Divine Claw and rebel against them to assist the Knights. ”

"There's no need for that anymore, is it?" Edward frowned, "The Orc Empire won't be our opponent, and it's only a matter of time before the claws fall." ”

"You're underestimating the Orc Empire, my lord. The skeleton said, "Although the history of the orc empire is not long, there are still many hidden powers in it. In particular, the legends circulating among the top brass about the ancient mammoth troops need special attention. ”

"Mammoth?" Edward and Sander couldn't help but think of the mammoth behemoth of the Mother Continent plane, the top class of orcs. If there are many of them, they will indeed cause some trouble.

"Yes, it's not just the Mammoths. "Legend has it that long before the establishment of the Orc Empire, the Divine Claw was just a wilderness, there was no city there, only a huge Divine Beast Claw, grasping at that pathogenic cause. And under this giant claw, there are many corpses of huge strange beasts. Later, the orcs who worshiped this god's claw settled there, built houses and city walls, and only then did they have the current god's claw. ”
