Chapter 108: How a Fire Burns (Ask for Recommendation Tickets, Ask for Monthly Tickets)
Reis Empire, City of Melbe.
It is a very large city, and the walls alone are one hundred and fifty meters high.
And such a wall does not exist only in this city, but extends to the left and right from this center, connecting with different mountain ranges, from Mount Recher in the east to the Ottoman Empire in the west.
It's over 30,000 kilometers long!
Such a huge wall cannot be completed by a single country.
It's built by generations working together and countries working together.
The purpose is to stop the invasion of the orcs.
In peacetime, there were also many people living outside the city walls.
And now, those outside have either retreated back to the walls, or have been killed or eaten.
Therefore, the city wall is the first line of defense against the orcs.
The Great Wall did not belong to the Lacey Empire.
It was cast again and again with the blood of the people of the glorious southern continent.
Such a tall wall is not to defend against the orcs, but to prevent the demonic beasts they control.
Orcs are very good at taming magical beasts, and the most famous is the wolf cavalry.
The wolf cavalry is a cavalry composed of werewolves and wolf-type monsters, known for its rapid movements and strong combat ability.
The wolf-type demon ** is cruel and cruel, and mainly attacks in groups.
Werewolves, on the other hand, are the same as these monsters, they will not be as naΓ―ve as the Boar People in battle, nor will they be as brave as the Minotaurs, they will constantly entangle, consume the opponent's physical strength, and then rush up to quickly resolve the battle.
Like hyena people, they also like to huddle.
The difference is that in terms of single combat effectiveness, they are not as good as most of the orcs, and they are basically crushing the humans.
But they just don't go it alone.
Or a group fight.
10,000 wolf cavalry and 10,000 golden epiphany knights in their heyday battle, and the winner must be the wolf cavalry.
This is the suppression of the class, and the only way to win is to rely on tactics, numbers, and the help of external forces such as magicians.
Compared to the boars and hyenas, the wolf cavalry is somewhat less numerous.
But on the huge population base of the Orc Empire, it has also produced an army of two million.
Of course, some of these wolf cavalry will need to fight in the north and east and west, and not all of them will invade south.
The policy of the Orc Empire towards the army is based on the tuntian system.
Several times a year, the state does not pay salaries.
In fact, orcs are not very good at farming, and most of them are safaris or robbery.
Before the war, a summoning order is issued, the army is assembled, and the troops are simply arranged.
Most of the orc armies have no order to speak of.
The city of Melbey is a very famous city.
Many legends have been born here, and these legends that belong to humans are based on the corpses of orcs.
In the same way, humanity does not know how many lives have been lost here.
But it doesn't matter who dies, it's the people who are remembered, the people who are sung, and their names are what the city represents.
Orcs don't know what a sense of honor is, or few people will know, but they know it, even shame.
The last Beastmaster was killed in the city of Melbe, and the person who killed him was none other than the Pope of the Holy See of Light.
The Pope of Light pursued the Beastmaster all the way, from the Northern Continent to the Southern Continent, and finally beheaded the previous Beastmaster in Melbay City.
This is an absolute disgrace, a disgrace to the entire orc empire.
It is precisely because of this great shame that the orc royal family has changed from the light tiger clan to the nether black lion clan today.
Now, the Light Tiger Clan is still the nobility of the Orc Empire, but it has been reduced to a marginal race, and has been guarding the west.
All in all, Melbey City is the main attack of the Orc Empire, both in the historical sense and in the military and strategic sense, and it is also the place where it must be attacked.
On the city wall, Blake looked at the orc plains in the distance, a white landscape.
It's not snowing, it's the color of a plant that is very common in the orc plains, with a simple name, white grass.
This kind of thing can be eaten, and people can eat it.
Leaves, stems, and roots are all things that can satisfy hunger.
They grow quickly, can adapt to most environments, and have a good ability to resist high and low temperatures.
This is a very popular forage for the peasants in the village, and it is also one of the main rations for the orc Empire's half-orcs.
"You say, if a fire burns the steppe and then closes the gates of the city, will all these orcs starve to death?" Blake said to Joddle on the side.
Joddle's face remained unchanged, maintaining a modest smile, and said: "The destruction of the grassland will lead to climate change in the entire southern continent and cause natural disasters. The God of Light is merciful and will not allow us to do such a thing. β
"But the orcs are evil heretics, and for heretics, we must do everything possible to exterminate them, otherwise it will only bring greater disaster. For this, it is worth making a little sacrifice. Blake laughed.
On the day the Pope of Light killed the Beastmaster, he had already declared an irreconcilable contradiction between the Orc Empire and the Holy See of Light.
Therefore, there is no logical error in uniformly calling orcs heretics, and heretics need to be eliminated.
"It's not just half-orcs living on the orc plain, there are many demonic beasts among them, if the entire plain is burned, tens of billions of demonic beasts will pour into human cities, which will be a disaster for humans on the entire continent.
In addition, white grass is rich in water and contains flame-retardant substances, otherwise it would have been burned out long ago. Even if we were to burn the grass, it would not be easy. β
Robert on the side spoke.
Blake smiled and said, "I just said it casually, and I didn't really have any plans to do so." After all, the God of Light is merciful, and light belongs to every creature whose heart is towards light.
Well, this time His Majesty has asked me to be the commander of this war. But it is not very easy to convince people from other countries. So, we need to prepare well for the arrival of our friends. Now, where are the teams on all sides? β
"The first wave of arrivals will arrive in five days, and if nothing else, the first to arrive is a million Ottoman troops, including 100,000 Ottoman ace troops, the Thunderhawk Cavalry, which is expected to arrive tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, the 1.2 million coalition of the three southern kingdoms arrived, and the 700,000 troops of the Xiling Empire would also arrive in three or four days, carrying sixty magic crystal cannons. β
Robert was in charge of the intelligence and was very clear about the information.
Blake was surprised when he heard this: "The Xiling Empire actually sent troops, and it also brought sixty magic crystal cannons. I thought they were just trying to respond to our call, but I didn't expect them to send so many troops. β
Joddell spoke: "After all, the orc invasion is a matter for the human race in the whole continent, and the Xiling Empire is still carrying which one is more important, what should be done." β
