The Plantagenet family pioneered the agricultural area of the castle.

Aria waved her hand.

The summoned knight armament slashed a demon wolf in two.

The leader of the monster that had reached the orange quality was in front of her, and she was killed without even blocking a move.

After killing the wolf, Aria picked up the wolf's body and found half of the leg bone.

This is the material produced by the monster.

In the Foggy World.

The probability of a monster lair in the wild directly producing equipment is very low.

Most of them are various materials.

If you want to produce equipment, you have to attack the lair of subhuman monsters such as goblins and jackals.

It's just compared to ordinary monster nests.

The monster nests of subhuman civilizations in the Old World were often concentrated in tribes.

The lair of a subhuman civilization belongs to a tribe.

Many nests of various colors will form around the tribe.

Attacking one will immediately attract a bunch of monsters.

And this kind of tribal monster lair is often easy to give birth to monster lords.

Extremely difficult to attack.

However, the monster lair that Aria attacked was a very pure demon wolf lair.

And there are no tribes.

This is due to the fact that this area was the direct domain of the Plantagenet family in the Old World to pioneer the castle.

Later, the fog invaded, and the agricultural area was turned into a resource territory.

Source crystals were born in the resource realm, and then monster lairs appeared.

At this time.

Aria, who had picked up the wolf's leg bone, looked at the material.

Accurate judgments were made quickly.

"Monster materials, which can be used to forge high-level weapons."

"It's a good harvest."

"However, the unit that can be forged under the lord is the gray dwarf of Blackwater City."

"These grey dwarves are not fit for a heroic commander."

"It's a waste to forge them with high-grade materials."

"It seems that it can only be thrown away in the warehouse and eaten in ashes like the previous loot."

Aria put away the demon wolf's leg bone with some regret.

The reason why it is regrettable is because if this monster material is handed over to a high-level craftsman to make it.

But you can make high-level magic weapons.

Now she can only put it in the warehouse or sell it, and she naturally feels sorry for Fang Yuan.

And at this very moment.

As Aria slays the highest-ranking Demon Wolf Boss in the farming area.

Behind them, the Guardian Knights began to attack the wolf's lair.

With Aria as the leader.

The Guardian Knights' combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

has already become the second most powerful knight legion under Fang Yuan.

With the sound of the "boom" war horse charging, it sounded.

The orange demon wolf legions gathered in front of the wolf's lair were easily sliced like cream.

The Guardian Order was then split in two.

A turn on the battlefield held the panicked Demon Wolf Legion in its arms.

on the battlefield.

The horses neighed.

With the sound of each charge.

Thousands of demon wolves were killed.

And at the same time.

With a large number of demon wolves outside killed.

The source crystals in the demon wolf's lair are also constantly producing new demon wolves and even mutated demon wolves to protect the lair.

But they are facing a legion of Guardian Knights with a high fighting spirit.

These are enough to be regarded as a great threat by the eighth-order lords.

At this moment, in front of the guardian knight.

It was easily slaughtered.

When there are no more packs of demon wolves in front of the demon wolf's lair.

More than a dozen guardian knights jumped off their horses and rushed into the demon wolf's lair, finding the source crystal inside.

The Guardian Knight drew his greatsword.

Dozens of hard swings.

A moment later.

The huge orange source crystal turned into piles of debris.

Among these fragments, there is also a portion of the finished orange source crystal.

The Guardian Knight picks up all the source crystals and fragments.

Then quickly left the lair.

And the demon wolf's lair, which had lost its source crystal, began to collapse.

A moment later.

The lair of the demon wolf, which occupies the entire agricultural area, is shattered inch by inch.

Reduced to a puddle of dirt.

At this time, the agricultural area also showed its original face.

Uniform farmland, farmhouses.

meantime

With the collapse of the demon wolf's lair.

On the edge of the battlefield, some demon wolves that had not yet died began to scatter and flee.

These escaped demon wolves should have been hunted down to the end.

Because after they escaped, they would soon be able to reunite as a new demon wolf tribe.

And they have the memory of the war, once their strength is restored.

will organize the Demon Wolf Legion to counterattack.

When the Blue Star Lord first pioneered, he suffered this kind of loss.

The monsters that were released returned with a tide of beasts three years later.

Destroy an entire alliance.

At the time of the Wasteland.

Fang Yuan had told his heroes more than once.

Attack the monster's lair in the wild, and no one is allowed to let go.

The grass must be cut down and the roots must be eradicated.

But at this time!

Arya watched the wolves flee and did not order the guardian knights to chase them down.

That's why she did it.

It's because before cleaning up here.

Aria has set up a large group of guardian knights around her, just to wipe out all the demon wolves.

These demon wolves!

Not a single one can get out.

And it turns out that Aria was right.

Soon.

There was a guardian knight who was responsible for intercepting the fleeing demon wolf and came on horseback.

"Your Excellency."

"All the demon wolves that escaped were killed."

"None survived."

"This wolf lair is the last monster lair."

"With this being breached."

"Plantagenet Fortress has been reclaimed by us?"

There was a faint hint of excitement in the voice of the guardian knight of the report.

But Aria shook her head.

"It's right and it's not right."

"The reason for the wrong is that the Plantagenet Fortress is very large, and taking the outer fort is only the main part of it, and in the heyday of the Plantagenet Frontier Fortress, the outer guard walls are all over the entire border."

"The extent enclosed by the walls of the Alert Wall is ten times larger than the Plantagenet family in the dukedom of Gondor."

"There are thousands of knightly lords in it."

"These knight leaders used to be the source of the Plantagenet family's strength to open up the grasslands."

"The territory we have won now is less than one-tenth of what it was in its heyday."

But soon, Iria's tone changed.

"But you're right, the main body of Plantagenet Fortress has been recovered."

"The main fort, the inner fort, the outer fort, and the core part of the guard city wall are all under your command."

"This is actually the core part of Plantagenet Fortress."

"After all, in the Old World era, when I left Plantagenet Fortress for the dungeon, this was all that was left at that time."

Aria recounted the past, and there was a faint loneliness in her words.

The guardian knight beside him seemed to feel this emotion.

His head hung down unconsciously.

But Aria was quick to adjust her mood.

Just now, I just remembered some of the past.

"Memories are always sad."

Arya whispered.

"But what is gone is forever gone."

"Civilization is all gone, and it's useless to talk about it."

"We still have to stand in the moment and fight for the wasteland territory."

Aria's tone changed, and she began to give her own orders.

"Now the Plantagenet family's fortress has been taken."

"Send someone back to the main city where your lordship is located."

"Tell your lordship."

"The main part of the fortress has been fully occupied."

"Forts can be upgraded."

"And tell your lord, be quick!"

"It's best to upgrade the fortress within a day."

"The legions of the orcs have entered the Dark Forest."

"Now the fortress is not only a base for us to counterattack the orcs to replenish our troops."

"And keep the orcs from going deep into the dark forest, in case they find their way to the main city."

"The second is more important than the first."

"The lord must be urged to complete the upgrade as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

With the herald returning to the main city, he left.

Aria then asked.

"How's Brayney going?"

Originally, the task of recovering the Plantagenet stronghold was completed by Aria and Brennie.

But after they came here from the main city.

It soon became clear that the orcs of the steppe had sent an army of 30,000 troops to march towards the dark forest.

According to information from reconnaissance soldiers.

The goal of this orc legion march is clear.

It was for the Plantagenet Fortress in the dark forest.

And at this time, it will take some time to regain the fortress.

Once the orc army is allowed to enter the dark forest, they will inevitably be affected by their own plan to reclaim the fortress.

The orcs will definitely attack them.

And this will certainly slow down the progress of recovering the fortress.

In order to ensure that the fortress can be recovered in the shortest possible time.

Aria consulted with Breney.

Decide to divide the troops!

The stronger Aria leads the Guardian Knights Legion to quickly clear out the monsters in various areas of the Pioneer Territory.

Complete the capture of Plantagenet Fortress.

Brennie led the Demon Knights to stop the orcs who tried to enter the dark forest.

Slow down their march.

In order to ensure the safety of the Demon Knight Legion.

They also received support from the Bloodline Castle.

Christian made an offensive gesture over there.

Draw the main force of the orcs to the vicinity of the castle.

At the same time, Yasis was sent to lead griffin knights and dragon hunters as air support forces to assist in the battle.

In case Brennie's demon knights are surrounded by the main orc force.

At this point, it was already more than half a day.

Analyze it from the perspective of time.

Now Brennie has either defeated the orc legions that are preparing to enter the forest, or has been defeated.

It's just that there is no news yet.

Aria didn't know what was going on over there for the time being.

And the Plantagenet Fortress has just finished capturing it.

Now it's a little longer until the lord finishes leveling up.

Aria was able to leave.

Because if you bring troops to support Brennie now.

Once the orcs invade, they will once again take away the outer fortress or the core of the guard wall.

Then it will take time and troops to recapture it in the future.

In the midst of this repeated contention.

Orcs can easily see the strategic role of Plantagenet Fortress.

At that time, in order to cut off the defense of the fortress and the bloodline castle as horns of each other.

There will inevitably be additional troops to support.

And so it goes.

It's easy for both sides to get bogged down in a repeated tug-of-war.

Not to mention the consumption of troops in tug-of-war, there is another crucial point.

At a time when the fortress was not completely occupied.

It is difficult to shade the passage from the grassland to the dark forest.

With the sheer number of orc legions, they could have sent a scouting legion to find their way to the wasteland.

This leads the flames of war from the grasslands to the forests, and even to the lords of the wastelands.

At that time, the orcs will have a large army.

And there are few soldiers on his side.

Orcs can choose to fight on two sides, or even three.

Attack the Bloodline Castle, the Plantagenet Pioneer Territory, and the Wasteland Territory respectively.

The direction of the Bloodline Castle will lose the ability to attack because there is no cover from the side.

You can only choose to defend the city.

The Plantagenet Pioneer Lord only has the main fort, and it can't be upgraded, so it can't produce troops to replenish the consumption nearby.

If you can't replenish nearby, it means that in a war of attrition, your own forces will inevitably fall into a disadvantage.

The front line did not dare to fight a war of attrition with the enemy.

The momentum is down.

The Wasteland Territory is attacked, and the problem is even more serious.

With the cautious character of the lord, in order to protect the main city, it is very likely that he will directly order the troops to retreat, give up the outer territories, and protect the main city to the death.

It doesn't matter which of the above three situations happens.

All mean that their side will lose the initiative to attack because of this.

And after the orcs have the right to take the initiative to attack.

You can choose to storm the Bloodline Castle or use the Plantagenet Stronghold as your main battlefield.

Burn the flames of war from the outside to the inside.

Your side will immediately fall into a disadvantage.

So at this critical juncture.

Aria must first send troops to defend the territory she has taken.

As long as you can wait for the lord to raise the Plantagenet Fortress to it.

Then the battle situation on this battlefield will be revitalized.

With Plantagenet Fortress, not only does the Bloodline Castle have a defensive support point, but it can support the Bloodline Castle from the land and teleportation array at any time.

Even the entire border between the dark jungle and the grassland is a point that can be used as an active attack.

This means that the initiative in the war is in hand.

I can play wherever I want, and I can attack whenever I want.

The orcs even had an army of nearly half a million men.

They can only shrink their forces and evacuate the junction between the grassland and the forest.

In this way, there is no need to spend a single soldier to ensure the safety of the side of the Bloodline Castle.

The bloodline castle can also put the power of the defensive side into the frontal battlefield and the battlefield behind enemy lines.

At the same time, there was a perimeter guard wall of the Plantagenet Fortress.

Enough to block the passage from the Dark Forest to the Wasteland.

When the time comes, as long as the guard array is opened.

Even if the orcs sent Beamon to attack, they could only retreat in the face of the guardian array.

And this keeps the Wasteland Realm safe.

As long as the main realm is safe.

Then the lord will be able to mobilize all his forces to support the war on the front line.

So.

A key turning point in the war against the Orcs was at Plantagenet Fortress.

Hold on and wait until the lord completes the upgrade.

The entire eastern battlefield could shift from strategic defense to strategic offensive.

Now.

Iria's gaze strove through the jungle.

I looked at the junction of the jungle and the grassland.

That's where Brayney chose.

She whispered.

"Brainey!"

"It's up to you and the Demon Knights."

Just when Aria was worried about Breney.

At this moment.

The junction of grassland and forest.

Breney and Assis chose the battlefield to block.

The war has entered the final decisive moment.

Victory or defeat is only in the blink of an eye.
