vs 4 Hatred and anger
The battle of the Hoko Islands was a disaster for the human army.
In the early stages of the war, the magic forces of the Dark Elves caused Grand Duke Acre's forces to retreat.
The second largest island in the Hocco archipelago, Cervis, fell on the third day after Walter, the chief consul of the Kingdom of Misha, declared war.
Although Grand Duke Ake did not make too many mistakes, his soldiers also fought hard.
However, the Kingdom of Misha was very well prepared, and Kenben did not have a chance for Grand Duke Acre to react.
Next, there was the cleansing of the entire island of Severs by the Kingdom of Misha, and under the cruel and cold orders one after another, countless human civilians fell under the scimitars of the werewolves.
In just half a day, the streets of the city of Cerves were littered with corpses lying in pools of blood, and blood infected the whole city.
Even years later, when people dig up the surface of the island, they can smell a faint smell of blood.
This day is April 11th.
This day is destined to be remembered by the kingdom of men.
Because, hundreds of thousands of human civilians in the city of Sevis were almost slaughtered by the troops who called themselves the Kingdom of Misha.
-----------
To prevent disease and plague, or to demoralize the troops of Grand Duke Acre on the island of Harvey.
The high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Misha ordered that the corpses that could be found everywhere in the city be transported to the coastline closest to the main island of Harvey, and piled up to form a 'wall' composed of corpses.
This wall of flesh, which has been called the "wall of hatred" by later generations, has been surrounded by an inner island along a ten-kilometer coastline, and there is no end in sight.
Of course, these works are also done by humans themselves.
The poor 'survivors' who carry the corpses of their fellow citizens under the whips of werewolf soldiers.
Their fate was destined to be the same as that of the people they transported, and they themselves knew their fate, but the instinct to survive made them wish they could survive a little longer.
At this time, the hatred between the two races could not be resolved.
It's a never-ending situation.
All the high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Misha witnessed the completion of what they called the "Wall of Vengeance".
Wouldn't it be too much?
These wise rulers can't help but question themselves in their hearts.
They are not cold-blooded animals, they know their sins.
But the fire of hatred has been burning in their hearts for hundreds of years.
Now, they're just freeing up a fraction.
"Don't be soft-hearted, child, humans killed us hundreds of years ago and did much more than that!"
Walter said as he looked at Ian, who was frowning next to him.
Ian turned his head to look at him, looking at his mentor, and it was hard for him to imagine that an old man who was originally kind in his heart would make such a decision.
The commander of the werewolf vanguard army, who was known for his cold-bloodedness, felt his scalp tingle when he looked at the endless wall of flesh.
He also asked himself in his heart: whether we are doing this right or wrong.
However, his mentor's words made the commander's question only flash through his mind, and then his mind was filled with hatred for humanity.
Ian's eyes became firm again, and he was no longer confused.
He looked left and right, and the soldiers were also a little confused at the moment.
Even when the last humans were executed, the soldiers subconsciously turned their heads away.
And the soldiers who were in charge of the execution also hesitated.
"Brothers of the same kind, fellow Dark Elves!"
Ian roared loudly: "Don't be afraid, don't be confused, think about what humans did to us hundreds of years ago, these humans are the embodiment of the devil, for them, put away your conscience, it will make you weak!"
"Soldiers, think of our ancestors, think of their tragic fate, think of everything we have paid for survival for hundreds of years!"
"I command you, look at them, look at these corpses, this is only the beginning of our revenge!"
"Soldiers, think about your oath, for the future of the Misha Kingdom, even if the end and hell await us in front of us, we will fight to the death!"
Ian's words reminded the soldiers of their mentor's teachings from childhood, and awakened the hatred and anger in their hearts!
Hatred and lust are at the root of all killing.
Hatred makes the soldiers no longer confused.
"For the kingdom of Misha!"
In the end, the soldiers, with all their might, shouted this sentence.
Ian looked at his lovely men, they were not cold-blooded animals, they were simple, but it was this simplicity that led to the slaughter of their people hundreds of years ago.
Now, Ian wants them to put away this simplicity and kindness, and he wants to make these soldiers cold-blooded and ruthless, so that he can avenge his ancestors.
---------
The power of hatred is terrifying and terrifying.
This originally prosperous city, under the orders of the werewolf officer, became a dead city.
As early as the initial stage of the opponent's construction of the "meat wall", Grand Duke Akke gave the order to storm the opponent's coastline.
But the opponent's garrison force, with the help of a large group of magicians, is like an iron wall, and there is no way to start at all.
Grand Duke Ak's army had difficulty even connecting the coastline near the island of Sevis, and the naval forces of the Kingdom of Misha, with the help of their mage troops, were simply invincible in this sea.
Although the Grand Duke was determined to break through the blockade of the Misha Kingdom, the disparity in naval strength was too great, and a team of magicians he temporarily recruited was completely wiped out by the opponent in his first appearance.
The enemy's magical energy is seemingly endless, never exhausted.
The overwhelming power of the Kingdom of Misha intimidated the magicians on Harvey Island, and they began to refuse the call of Grand Duke Ac.
Duke Ake's intention was to forcibly recruit these magicians.
Thankfully, his prime minister prevented him from making this risky decision in time.
When the 'wall of flesh' made of human corpses was built, the flames of hatred spread in the hearts of human soldiers.
The massacre of the Kingdom of Misha did not dampen the morale of these soldiers, but instead stimulated their blood in their hearts that did not know how long it had cooled.
They train harder.
Even when the ordinary people of Harvey City learned of this, they spontaneously donated what little property they had left.
The young nobles in the city also spontaneously organized a knight brigade, and they volunteered to go to the frontline of the coastline to fight to the death against the army of the Misha Kingdom.
...
Grand Duke Acre was silent from his forward position.
He knew very well that if he didn't find a way to deal with the enemy's magic brigade, this war would be very difficult, and Harvey City's demon-breaking equipment had already been consumed in the early battle.
It will take a little time for the new demon-breaking equipment to take shape.
If the army that calls itself the Kingdom of Misha launches a general attack at this time, the island of Harvey will be very dangerous.
In fact, when the local army stopped attacking and instead built what the soldiers called the "Wall of Hatred", this made Duke Ake breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
He needs this short time, his troops are not ready!
But the price of this time is undoubtedly huge.
"When will the magician of the secret magic society that Viscount Cage over there in the south say arrive?"
Duke Ake asked his prime minister.
The court prime minister of the Hoko Islands was Count Ellie of House Delmar, a middle-aged noblewoman who was no less intelligent than any man.
