"Look at me, everybody! Laugh one! ”

Ofina adjusted the angle, took a "family photo" of the whole team with a photo device, and then quickly took the largest piece of meat while everyone looked up.

There was good food and wine, and there were strong and reliable teammates, and the players had a good conversation and got to know each other quickly.

"Wind Demon" Fiennes jumped onto the table and gave an impassioned speech. Renata, the "Dumb Bird", took out her bagpipes and played a melodious and motivating song.

The uneasiness and nervousness in the hearts of the team members slowly dissipated in the song, replaced by the excitement of doing things behind the millions of enemies, and the passion to serve the country. They kind of can't wait.

"Captain Rogge, when are we leaving? Hands are so itchy! Simmons seemed to have drunk a little too much, and he stretched out his arms to hug Melifa like a good brother.

Melifa kicked Simmons' knee with enough force, even if Simmons was a martial king, he was kicked to his knees without defense, "Heh, Captain Rog has passed, he will notify us when you leave, what are you crazy about here?" ”

"Haha, I'm happy that there are so many new brothers! Cheers! Simmons didn't bother with the kick, just knelt on the ground, took the flask, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it down.

"Captain Melly's right, don't worry, get ready and wait." Loria said.

"Rogge, now that everyone is here and the atmosphere is so good, it's time for the goal, right?" Kawaju asked, holding a toothpick in his mouth, raising an eyebrow.

"You'll find out when you go." Rogge said lightly.

"You!" Kawaju stood up, but was shocked by a fierce gaze, only to feel as if he was locked by a giant dragon, and he couldn't move.

Rogge stared at Kawaju with an expressionless face, and said word by word: "Captain Kawaju, what is your opinion?" ”

Kavaju struggled hard, finally breaking free from the dragon's shock, and sat down in his chair panting in a cold sweat.

The second-in-command of the Vengeance Flame Team, a newly promoted Martial King, saw that his captain was not in good shape, and hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Captain Rogge, our captain just wants to know that the target can make some targeted preparations in the future, and there is no other meaning." ”

"Well, Geraint, you've got to be right." Rogge remembered this name when they first met a few years ago, "But the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is no war yet, how to determine the target?" And I've already done the preparation for you. ”

Rogge took out the remaining space ring containing supplies and handed it to the three captains, "Distribute it to the team members, the supplies inside are the same, and the warrior and the magician can exchange the potion." ”

Gerante took the space ring in Cavaju's place.

"Captain Kawaju, are there any more questions?"

Kawaju was silent.

Rogge is gone, kill them all", rubbed Cuiyu's head standing on his shoulder, closed his eyes and pondered.

Whispers gradually came from the quiet tavern, and the people of Roo Soma gathered together to discuss.

"Avar, do you see that? Captain Rogge's eyes are really terrifying, is he really only advanced? Fiennes said.

"That's it, the head of the regiment is so powerful, I've only heard his biography before, and I've never seen him shoot, but now it seems that he is even better than the cross." Renata patted her chest.

Alvarez pressed his trembling arm and said stiffly: "Hmph, it's okay, it's not too scary." ”

Alva was very proud of the strength of his leader: "Heh, there is also a gap between the senior ranks, believe it or not, he can beat us all by himself!" The kind of Flame Magister that I can step on in Kavaju is not worthy of lifting shoes for the regimental leader! ”

"Shhhh Ferns smiled, "The head of the group is really unusual, even the pet bird is so cute, it just looks so melancholy......

Rogge did not receive any communication from Thea.

……

It's been a few days since Charles issued the summoning order, and there are large troops arriving from all over the country, and there are many more to come.

Under the careful planning of Filia and other generals, the garrison of each unit was orderly and efficient, and they were all in the most suitable position for themselves.

Holke City has become the largest logistics base on the front line, like a second heart, constantly sending fresh blood to the northwest front.

And the first heart was undoubtedly the capital of the empire, Oldens, where countless troops were assembled and then marched to the northwest frontier.

The empire has mobilized all its blood, except for ...... The Eagle Family of the Northeast. The Eagle family is like a piece of necrotic flesh and blood, and the main knights only symbolically sent a team, and the others are all levies.

Rogge thought that Philia was walking around the city when he could hear Charles's yelling in the conference room.

As the saying goes, if you go outside, you must first settle inside, and why the Eagle family, or the Grand Duke of Ranster, did this, everyone does not know.

But the "inside" of the Eagle Family is too big, and the orc vanguard is about to enter the city, so there is no time to rest.

As long as he doesn't stab him in the back.

Charles just scolded and didn't take any other action, so it was clear that he knew it and didn't need to worry about Rogge.

Two later, the soldiers led by Karonde arrived on time, led by Mellaud, along with an elite light cavalry of the Red Flame Knights.

At the front of the team was the Frostwind Knights, the knights that Filia had created for Rogge were already quite imposing, not much weaker than the Red Flame Knights not far away.

Behind the Frostwind Knights was a standing army of 50,000 led by Caronde, neat and disciplined, but not as murderous as the defenders who defended the Northwest Frontier all year round.

At the end were 80,000 conscripts, who were armed with brand-new weapons and equipment, and they were obviously of different ages, but they all exuded a "vigorous".

But vitality can't let them live longer on the battlefield, and they can only transform when they really experience the baptism of war.

And that seems to be coming soon.

……

Thea's Missing Twelfth.

"Woo......"

The sharp sound of the horn resounded in the sky, making the hot afternoon air a little more burning

Rog took the aerial technique and flew into the air, only to see a black shadow appear on the horizon on the side of the Orc Alliance, surging towards the defense line of the fortress group without hurry.

In the air, large herds of giant vultures, bipedal wyverns, and manticores hovered, not to the extent of obscuring the sun, but they were staggering enough.

The Orc Vanguard is finally here.

"Fearns, inform the captains, and be ready to go." Rogge said to Fiennes, who was beside him.

"Roger!" Fiennes flew away like a gust of wind.

……

Head of Fort Hofra.

Rog drops down and finds Filia, who is giving orders.

Filia temporarily handed over the command to the adjutant and squeezed out a smile at him, "Going?" ”

"Not yet, it's coming, I'll leave when the fight starts. I'm afraid I won't have time to see you if the fight starts, so ......"

Philia took two steps forward and hugged Rogge in full view.

Regardless of his gaze, Rog cupped the face of his beloved girl and printed his lips.

With a painful kiss, Felia gently bit Rog's lip at the end, her tender tongue pressed heavily on him, and then pushed him away.

"Let's go, take care of Nana." The girl smiled softly.

"Hmm."

The two of them didn't talk much, Pitts already knew what he wanted, so there was no need for more.

Finally, after taking a few deep glances at the heroic and beautiful girl, Rogge flew down the city and went straight to the meeting point of the team.

Filia watched her lover leave, and turned her head to look out of the city.

"How many enemies are coming?" Filia asked.

"At least 200,000!" Adjutant Yu reported.

"Two hundred thousand...... It's not too much, so let's practice knives with them first. ”

……

The Northwest Defense Line of the Empire, the full name of which is the Northwest Fortress Group Defense Line.

The so-called fortress group is centered on the three super-large main forts of Hofra, Hosiran and Hogaka, and there are high and thick walls between the main forts, and large castles are distributed on both sides of the inner and outer walls.

After advancing at a constant speed to the outermost castle, the vanguard did not stop for a moment, and the vanguard suddenly accelerated, roaring and attacking.

I had to cry out loud, and there was such a long distance, and the levies on the imperial side unconsciously clenched their weapons, and they were in excessive mental tension

However, when the trebuchets of the fortress group began to throw stones, the mental tension eased.

The sound of heavy trebuchets operating and the "whoosh" of boulders whizzing out became the main theme of the various fortresses for a while, and the boulders fell and shattered, and the large group of orcs were smashed into pulp before they could scream.

The activation of the trebuchet gave the warriors a full sense of security, except for the outermost fortress.

Because orcs also have trebuchets and giants that can throw stones.

"Boom!"

The rough boulders smashed into the walls of the outer fortress, and the seemingly sturdy walls cracked several cracks in an instant.

The captain of the fortress guard yelled and ordered the warriors to adjust the angle of the trebuchets and prioritize attacking enemy trebuchets and giants.

But before the warriors could do it, the orc army crawled into the city through the cracks of the boulders, with rolling stones and trees, and hot oil from arrows.

"Kill! Swear to live and die with the fortress! The captain didn't have time to give any orders, and took the lead and rushed towards the orcs.

The outer fortresses were not large, and the largest could hold 500 men.

They exist to deplete the enemy's vital forces with a high battle loss ratio, while at the same time buying more time for the rear fortresses to output.

Their fate was certain from the outbreak of the Great War, only destruction.

And the defenders of the fortress know this, they are the bravest warriors in the whole empire, they are not afraid of death, and they defend the sacred territory of the empire and defend their homeland with their lives.

The outermost fortress was quickly destroyed, and the vast corpses on the land between the fortresses and in the ruins proved the determination of the orcs to invade.

The orcs did not stay and continued to attack the second fortress.

The strong smell of blood pervades the air, and it must not dissipate for a long time.
