On an early morning when the sun was obscured by clouds, Heim's army, consisting of a thousand infantry and three hundred cavalry, set out on the mid-mountain trade route to the north.

This was the second group of soldiers who had set out in recent days, and the tips of their spears blinked in the pale yellow morning light, shaking with their neat steps. Siegel watched them away, and watched their surroundings alertly. Fortunately, it was not yet time for the falcon to appear, and the elves could not see this direction.

To the east of the elven camp, another attack by the Nameless Resistance Group distracted them. However, for the sake of safety, the team is still to be as quiet as possible. Every forty or so people, a soldier is responsible for holding the Silence Rune Stone to silence the sound of the march as much as possible. The Runestone is placed on a device similar to the Elemental Scepter, and can be powered by an energy-focused lens circle within the Heim realm.

Siegel stood in an arrow tower on the outer city wall, looking through the shooting hole and using a telescope to observe the elven camp. The astute creatures seemed unaware of what was happening in Myr. They were still tending to plants, tending to their weapons, or praying, exactly as they had every day.

He saw Leah, who got up early in the morning and went to the shooting range to practice archery. That's not right!Siegel wanted to tell her. As a general, you should try to defeat your opponent, take great pains to find the enemy's weaknesses, and strike mercilessly. Instead of holding on to the advantage, as is the case now, you think you can wait until victory.

The white feathered arrows hit the bullseye accurately, just like the previous six arrows - Leah relied on such things to relax. She understands Siegel's character, and since he has not surrendered, there must be action. There's always the sound of training coming from Myr. But the druid's falcons have scouted. Those knights used to defend the city were okay. Attacks can also be successful, but they will eventually be destroyed.

Recently, the number of rune stones has risen again, and his energy must be completely occupied by these things, right?According to the Luna priest, Siegel's runes have reached the level of elite craftsmen, and the quality is stable and fast. Although a lot of gems are paid for it, it is still worth it to tie up a mage lord's hands and feet, and also to benefit the elves on the battlefield.

Leah knew that this peace wouldn't last long, and that the decisive battle for Waterdeep was about to begin. Knox will have the time to remove this cancer. The largest human city in the New World will be overrun by the Elves. After the Tripeaks, there will be the Hub Fort and Creek Town, and then the Heim Territory.

So she planned to secretly visit Siegel after the victory in the Battle of Waterdeep, persuade him to surrender, and leave the New World in a dignified manner. He wanted to learn magic, and the Mage Guild was a better place. As for the funds needed for learning, he can take as much as he can, and the elves will not stop him.

With these thoughts in mind, the arrow in his hand finally missed—hitting the first nine every day. The tenth is off the bull's-eye. "If you hit them all, there's no room for improvement. She smiled and explained to the elf beside her. Then I finished my warm-up and walked towards the Temple of the Moon, where it was time to pray.

By this time, Siegel had already adjusted his telescope and looked at his army. Ser Manna himself led the way, and Hum and the orc Deva brothers rode alongside him. They wore off-white magical cuirasses, and their helmets were deliberately unpolished to reduce the danger of detection.

The orcs made up more than half of the Heim-led army and never came out to train during the day, so the elves didn't know their true number. They are born with superior strength and physique, and with enough food and rigorous training, they have long been able to unleash their physical potential. In the binoculars, they were tall and fierce, with strong muscles underneath their thick body hair, and their robes were propped up to the brim.

The cavalry that followed was mostly human - horses did not like the aura of orcs, and it was very difficult to train, and only a few orc generals had docile mounts. It is still unknown how much of a role this cavalry can play in the north, and Siegel's main purpose is for them to learn from the cavalry of the Jackdaw tribe, and to be responsible for reconnaissance, cover, and other roles on the battlefield.

In order to cover the march, the Mid-Levels trade route suspended all cargo transportation and cleared the road a week ago. Siegel's messenger visited all the castle lords and delivered a handwritten letter.

Heim is to support the battle in Waterdeep, and Siegel is to do the duty of a baron. The good partnership allowed the lords to accede to Heim's request to allow his troops to pass.

The entire march took twenty days, and supplies were already ready at the destination and along the way, so there was no need for too many servants to follow. Siegel is not involved in the march, and he can use teleportation to meet them directly at their destination.

"I will stay in Myr and continue to paralyze the spirits of the elves. He explained to Manna and Humm, "You set out first, set up camp, get information, and get in touch with the Raven tribe as soon as possible to act together. Their goal is Waterdeep, and you have another mission. ”

"Are we not going to Waterdeep?" Hum asked, puzzled.

"Will go, but first make sure the back road is safe. Siegel said, "The wraith has gone south and forced its way through the forbidden barrier of the Walled Mountains, and you have to go and reconnoiter the situation there." If there's a first, there's a second, and think about who else is on the north side of the mountains?"

Manna had already known about Siegel's plans when she was in the Raven Tribe. After their last victory, there's no reason why the orcs shouldn't come and raid while Waterdeep is weak. And through the Dragon Knights, the Knox Guild can also mobilize this huge army. Siegel deduced that in a bad situation, the common would likely lure the orcs into the walled mountains and use their power against the elves, turning the war between the two clans into a three-race melee.

If Siegel wants to win, he has to stop that from happening. Therefore, Waterdeep City is going to go, but first it is necessary to ensure that the city wall mountain range is not in trouble.

Fortunately, the dwarven forbidden rune barrier still covers most of the mountainous area, and there are not many places for orcs to pass. Siegelgaker's soldiers should be able to establish defensive positions and take advantage of the terrain to resist.

Counting these people who set out today, Heim led an army of 5,000 men. Compared to elves and orcs, the number is inconspicuous. However, their level of training is very high. Unlike other lords, the peasant soldiers only hastily took up arms at the beginning of the war. The Heim Men were trained to the standards of the Hum, and in some ways were more demanding than the knights. They practiced two types of equipment very intently: spears and crossbows, and became familiar with the use of shields and armor. Hum did not require them to master various weapons like knights, and they were not even taught the use of swords, but made harsh demands on spears and crossbows.

Hopefully, this will help them get through this war, Siegel thought to himself.

"Mercenaries and caravans will be armed with equipment to help you build fortifications, so your goal is to find out the situation of the walled mountains and orcs as quickly as possible. Siegel patted Hulk on the shoulder. He said to him, "The orcs on the other side of the mountain, if you can still get in touch, you might as well let them get involved." There are still plenty of places to place them in Heim Territory, and the Ghost Mist Swamp is very fertile. ”

The soldiers marched silently like a torrent of steel. By the time the sun had dispelled the morning fog and finally illuminated the world, Haim's army had disappeared into the col.

Wanting to leave with them, Siegel put away his binoculars and touched the raven's feathers. During his time in Myr, Baron had gained weight due to his lack of activity. Although the feathers on the body are still bright. But when you press it with your hand, you can feel a soft body. The ravens quacked in dissatisfaction, but did not resist. It has long learned to speak. But never used in front of Siegel. The two beings are one, and the verbal communication seems too slow.

"Remember the mercenary leaders you saw the day before yesterday?" Siegel said to himself, "I don't know what kind of people Janis found. ”

The Heim Territory was only two years old, and it was only a newborn child in the New World. Despite winning several wars and gaining some fame, it has never been a favorite place for mercenaries. There are half-orcs, gnomes, and many wandering half-elves, and is seen as a place of savage and chaos. The lord was so young, only twenty years old, with only the experience of seafarers and mages.

Those who can become the leader of the mercenaries are either cunning or smart, and it is not just that the prestige of martial arts is high. They tested him with their own methods. Lu Po of the Golden Blade Regiment only sent his second lieutenant to the meeting, claiming that he would not participate in anything but just listen to the fun; Rogfo, the big fat man of the Rock Sheep Brigade, although he talked and laughed, always used others to express his position, but did not mention anything useful himself; Mei Mo, the female leader of the Cloak Dart Team, had silver hair, tried to seduce Siegel during the meeting, and hinted that the beautiful female swordsmen around her could join the game; and the strong man Luo Qiong nodded his head in agreement, and kept showing his loyalty, like the vanguard army led by Heim.

Siegel is very calm and polite, but equally with the majesty of a lord. Two large fire elementals walked in and slammed the door of the hall shut. Except for the blink of sunlight streaming in through the windows, all that was left of the room was the dazzling red flame of the fire elemental.

Under this obvious threat, some calmed down, some croaked even more, but none of them were stupid enough to actually draw their weapons. Siegel waited for a moment, swept his gaze over the crowd in turn, tapped the ground with his staff, and then heard the sound in everyone's ears.

"I don't talk nonsense, just ask, do you want to make money?"

The sound of the clinking of gold coins is more effective than any words.

"Your Excellency, we eat in your territory, so we will naturally serve you with all our hearts. ”

"I ask you all to pack your bags and go to one place. Siegel said, "Sir Manna will give you a task. ”

A simple sentence certainly wouldn't reassure them, but it was impossible to explain the detailed plan to these people - Siegel experienced the impact of the change in identity. As a sailor, he had also seen serious, demanding, and even fastidious cargo owners, who always commanded them to do their work in a commanding tone—a role he had to play now.

Whether it was the proud Lupo or the flattering Rogfo, the pretty Memo or the strong Roqiong, they all had only three days to pack up and leave Myr. Or follow the caravan with the gold to find Mana, or go outside the city walls yourself to find the elves. The fire elementals will search the entire territory, and there is no place for them to hide.

Naturally, everyone was talking about it, and they secretly looked at Siegel with their own thoughtful eyes. The movement of troops in the castle had long been brought to their attention, so these people couldn't help but worry that all the actions would be a trap set for them?

"You only have three days, don't waste it. As soon as Siegel raised his hand, the fire elemental's body shook, turning from two to four. The room was even hotter, and sweat was pouring down their foreheads. For adventurers and mercenary teams, elementals, necromancy, constructs, mud monsters, and plants are known as the Black Five types, and they are the last types they want to encounter, but there are many of them in Heim Territory. The four elemental creatures patrol the walls of Myr every day, showcasing the power of this realm like no other. Some teams with Warlocks felt it even more obviously: the power emanating from the elemental creatures and the entire Energy Focused Lens circle was stressing down the natural casters on the team.

It was also the first time they had seen elemental creatures split, without changing their size or strength at the same time. Those who want to oppose the lord's orders seem to be prepared for the total annihilation of the army.

The situation is unforgiving, no matter whether the front is a trap or not, you can only bite the gold coin and jump down. The regiment commanders looked at each other, and no one had the courage to take the lead in opposition, so they had no choice but to accept it.

They all then went through hard wars and became rich men. (To be continued.) )
