In this crusade against the legendary ogre, Richard personally led 6,000 soldiers to the north, and Soros led an army of 12,000 to the south.

Because there was no ready-made road for the march in the jungle, the Harland leader did not carry a heavy magic crystal cannon this time.

The magic crystal cannon can also be pulled by iron horns on the official road, but in the mountainous area of the Eagle Mountains, it can only be carried by officers and soldiers.

Even if the professional officer has a lot of strength and stamina, and it takes at least thirty professional officers to rotate when he carries a magic crystal cannon and marches, plus the soldiers who carry the cannonballs, the transportation pressure Harland and the army can't bear it at all.

Although the artillery could not accompany the army, the armies of the north and south were drawn from elite soldiers.

The 1st Infantry Brigade, the 2nd Brigade, the 3rd Brigade, the Guard Brigade, the 1st and 2nd Monster Cavalry Brigades, the 1st, 3rd, and 6th Squadrons of Magic Hot Air Balloon Reconnaissance, the Lion Flying Squadron, the Bipedal Wyvern Squadron, the Second Squadron of the Witchers, the Special Squadron, the Territory Mage Regiment and other elites of the Harland Collar Leader, almost all poured out of their nests to participate in this crusade against ogres.

Wherever the army passed, the ogre tribe had nothing to hide, after all, the sky was densely packed with flying troops, the ogre target was very large, and the smell was very strong, and there was no way to hide in the forest.

Richard from Martins Castle, led his troops to the west, through the two baronies of Levine and Sox, and approached the lair of the legendary ogre, in a short distance of more than 100 kilometers, searched more than 5,000 square kilometers of land, and found nine ogre gathering places, in just 20 days, the Northern Route Army killed more than 400 ogres.

Because of the huge advantage in the course of the battle, his own losses were less than three hundred people. Fighting the ogre, this exchange ratio is already a rare victory.

Before Richard sent his troops to attack, the number of ogres was less than 2,000, and now he has lost 400 again, and the number of ogres has been reduced by about one-fifth, leaving only about 1,600 heads.

Ogres are intelligent races, and although they have the disadvantage of having difficulty giving birth, they are actually the same as dragons, and they are very difficult to deal with in small-scale conflicts.

There are more than two thousand ogres, and their combat effectiveness is more than that of a regular legion.

For more than 100 years, the legendary ogre Greso has cultivated spies in the northern Xinjiang region, and has formed a tight spy network, and he is clear about the changes in the situation of various forces in northern Xinjiang.

The news that Haaland has legendary fourth-order magic props can't be hidden from the legendary ogre, after all, Richard and Sophia have publicly released the starlight bomb many times, and the number of people in the northern Xinjiang who have seen the starlight bomb explode may exceed tens of thousands.

Tens of thousands of people spread the word, and the news could not be covered at all.

The spy controlled by Greso also witnessed the explosion of the Starlight Bomb. With the starlight bomb deterrent, Graysor did not dare to concentrate his forces at all and confronted the army led by Haaland.

Since a few years ago, the ogre tribe has basically dispersed its operations, using elite ogre squads to raid, striking at the soft belly of Martins County, destroying Martins County's production, farming, killing, and capturing indentured slaves working in the wild.

At that time, in order to avoid a full-scale conflict with the ogre, Richard gave up a buffer zone of 20,000 square kilometers on the one hand, and on the other hand, sent a special squadron, and the demon hunter squadron with the elite to attack the ogre tribe and barely maintain the situation in the buffer zone.

Normally, this buffer can last for many years, once formed.

In just a few years, Haaland's territory has expanded five or six times, the number of troops has doubled, the population has increased to more than seven million, and the number of professionals has increased by more than six thousand. Silph, Sophia, Richard, Wendy, Soros, Jennings, and Wilde have all been promoted to the professional ranks, and the high-level combat power has taken a step forward.

In less than five years, Haaland led the north to defeat the orcs, and the south to severely damage the coalition forces of Delong and the East Coast, and in the blink of an eye, it has developed into a behemoth.

In fact, since the Haaland family exchanged territories with the two dukes of Edward and Fox last winter, the legendary ogre Greso has been planning to withdraw.

Like Richard, the legendary ogre has awakened a talent for danger perception, and Graysor has been vaguely aware of danger since last year. But ogres

There is no good place around the lair now.

The north is the Orc Empire, and although the Eastern Front of the Orc Empire Grassland Governor District was hurt by the Harland leader, it is still a skinny camel, and its strength is far superior to that of the ogre. If you want to occupy a place in the northern savannah, the power of the ogre is far from enough.

Moreover, orcs have rough skin and thick meat, which is far less delicious than humans, and does not fit the recipes of ogres.

If the ogre can beat the Duke of Haaland, there is no need to withdraw at all, after all, the legendary ogre's lair is a natural magic well bred by the Eagle Mountain Range, and controlling the natural magic well is of great benefit to cultivating ogre mages and awakening ogre blood.

Now that Haaland is leading the forces is getting stronger day by day, once he is ready, he will inevitably not give the ogre a way to live, and on the whole, going east and south is obviously a dead end.

The only way to survive now in front of Grayso was to flee west.

From the ogre's lair all the way to the west, three hundred kilometers away is the Silver Wolf Mountain Range area, although the Silver Wolf Mountain Range also has powerful legendary creatures, Graysor knows in his heart that only by entering the Silver Wolf Mountain Area can the ogre tribe have a way to live.

But now that Haaland has a large number of aerial scouts and thousands of Warcraft cavalry following behind, it is also very difficult for the ogre tribe to escape to the Silver Wolf Mountain Range area three hundred kilometers away.

By the time Richard led his troops to approach the legendary ogre's lair, the Southern Route Army also walked to the Valle de Vera, about thirty kilometers away from the convergence with the Northern Route Army.

The Vila Mountains are a branch of the Eagle Mountains, located to the west of the Eagle Mountains.

The Eagle Mountains run east-west, with a length of about 1,000 kilometers, and have a large branch vein in the east, middle, and west, of which the Annis Mountains in the east, the Pratos Mountains in the middle, and the Vera Mountains in the west.

The Edward family built the castle of Villa in the south of the entrance to the valley with the best access conditions in the Villa Mountains, because the area was destroyed by the orcs, and the defenders of the castle were only about two or three thousand.

The Castle of Vera has a weak foundation and very little food stock, so it simply cannot support Soros to stay for too long.

The army of more than 10,000 people under Soros's command, plus Warcraft war horses, pack horses and other livestock, consumes about 100,000 catties of grain every day, and produces more than 100,000 catties of grain, which requires more than 1,000 acres of land.

Consuming more than 1,000 acres of grain output a day, with the foundation of Villa Castle, it can't be sustained for too long.

Because of the lack of food in the castle of Vera, Soros did not stay here for long, rested for a day, and led his troops into the depths of the Vila Mountains.

Soros's army swept over, searching nearly 10,000 square kilometers of land, killing about 300 ogres during this time.

Richard had killed more than 400 ogres in the northern part of the Villa Mountains, and the Thoros division had also killed more than 300 in the southern part of the Villa Mountains, leaving only 1,300 ogres gathered around Graysor.

Seeing that the two enemy armies in the north and south were about to converge, Greso thought hard for a long time, and finally made up his mind to fight a battle first, only by inflicting heavy losses on the pursuers, biting off a few pieces of flesh, so that the enemy did not dare to chase too hard, and retreating to the west could he have a way to live. Otherwise, the 300-kilometer-long retreat road would have no way to withdraw under the harassment and pursuit of air scouts and Warcraft cavalry.

Seeing that there were few soldiers on the human northern route, Greso thought that the legendary fourth-order magic props must be in the hands of the enemy on the northern front, so he prepared to concentrate his forces and attack the southern route first.

Despite the fact that the Southern Route Army had 12,000 soldiers, Graysor thought the odds were still good. After all, ogres are powerful and can defeat ten in battle. Even if there is no awakening bloodline and there is no promotion to the professional ogre, the strength is more than ten points, which is even more than the second-order professional of the human race.

Ogres are generally three or four meters tall, and the wooden sticks they hold in their hands are generally about fifty or sixty pounds, plus the skin on their bodies is as hard as iron, which is usually more difficult to deal with than a heavily armed second-order warrior.

The ogre who has grown to the sixth order is more powerful than a ninth-order warrior like Soros in hand-to-hand combat.

Although Grayso's men were small, they were confident of victory.

Unexpectedly, just halfway through, a strong palpitation came, and Greso awakened a sense of danger

Knowing the talent, I knew in my heart in an instant that if I continued to move forward, my life would also be in danger.

Sensing that something was wrong, Greso immediately ordered to turn around and head north.

As soon as the ogre finished assembling, he was immediately noticed by the Wyvern Knight and reported to the Soros Ministry.

Soros was just about to wait for work and fight an honest battle with the ogre, but he didn't expect the ogre to decisively choose to escape.

In desperation, Soros could only give an order to attack and chase the Grayso Department with flying troops and Warcraft cavalry.

Although the Warcraft cavalry can march in the mountains, there are no ready-made roads, and in fact, the marching speed is not fast, and they can only barely keep up with the speed of the ogre's march.

However, the flying class in the air greatly slowed down the Ogre's marching speed.

Whether it's a lion horseman, a wyvern knight, or a magical hot air balloon team, you can drop alchemy bombs in the air, or you can land at altitude and use bows and arrows to kill your opponents.

The ogre, on the other hand, had no means to deal with the flying class, so he could only throw stones at the flying class with all his might.

There are flying classes to contain the enemy, and the ogre army can't go fast at all, and Graysor uses a few ogres to stay behind the break, but they are easily eaten by the bipedal wyvern knight, and it can't be used at all.

After all, an adult bipedal wyvern is also a dragon-descended demonic beast with a professional level of more than the seventh order, and its combat effectiveness is very outstanding.

With the flying class holding them back, Soros and Sophia finally led the Warcraft cavalry ahead of the ogre team.

The two sides met in the northern part of the Vera Mountains, and Sophia very decisively unleashed a starlight bomb on Greso, and a thick starlight slammed towards Greso. Starlight fell extremely fast, and Greso estimated it slightly, feeling that he couldn't escape at his own speed, so he could only open the dimensional door and hide inside the other dimensional space.

Graysor is a two-headed cannibal mage, and his profession is the same as Richard's dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, but the two-headed cannibal mage does not master many spell models, and his spell power is much worse than that of legendary mages, but Grayso's physical strength is more than a step stronger than that of the ninth-order knights.

Greso can become a Tiger of the Eagle Mountain Range, occupying the Natural Magic Well for many years, and his strength is actually as difficult to deal with as the legendary black dragon Ramoos.

The starlight bomb fell beside Greso, and in an instant, tens of thousands of square meters of ogres near Greso were blown into dust, and even the extradimensional space opened by Greso was annihilated by this huge energy.

The furious energy shattered the dimensional space, and hit Greso from all directions, seeing that the dimensional gate did not block the enemy's attack, Greso hurriedly used the Seven Rings Magic High Force Field Protection, and then released the powerful magic rainbow orb.

In an instant, there were two more protections around Grayso, although these two protections still did not block the Starlight Bomb, but they also allowed the thick-skinned Grayso to save his life and successfully escape under the attack of the Starlight Bomb.

Surviving the Starlight Bomb Attack, Grayso's vitality was reduced by nearly a third, and his magic power was reduced by eight or nine times out of ten.

He didn't care about his children and grandchildren, and chose to flee very decisively, and by the time Sophia was about to release the second starlight bomb, Greso had already fled far away.

Although Greso fled, the ogres around him suffered heavy casualties under the blow of the Starlight Bomb, and more than 100 people were directly killed by the Starlight Bomb, and nearly 200 people were injured.

The team of ogres is relatively scattered, and if they are all concentrated in one place, I am afraid that a single starlight bomb can take away more than a thousand ogres.

After suffering the starlight bomb attack, the ogre team chose to withdraw very decisively, and about 200 wounded ogre soldiers took the initiative to stay behind and were killed by the army led by Haaland.

Greso gathered his team five kilometers away and found that the number of ogres was less than a thousand.

The battle on the southern front failed, and Greso did not dare to continue to provoke Richard's Northern Route Army, and hurriedly fled to the west with the ogre.

After walking fifty kilometers, he was blocked by Sawyer's Castle in front of him.

Sawyer Castle was built on a natural hill at the intersection of two ridges

Fork.

To get around Sawyer's Castle, you have to turn around and go around about fifty kilometers to the north.

The ogres under Greso's command have been on the road for a day, and this day they have been attacked and bombed by flying troops, and there have been more than 100 casualties, and they really don't want to walk for two more days.

Despite the presence of human defenders in the castle, Greso gave the order to storm it. More than 900 ogres tried their best to defeat Sawyer's Castle, annihilating 3,000 auxiliaries, and also suffering more than 200 casualties, and delaying for most of the day.

As soon as the ogre had eaten a full meal, Richard led the Northern Route Army to surround Grayso.

At this moment, there are only more than 700 ogres left under Grayso's command, and Greso's injuries have not recovered, and he is actually at the end of his rope.
