Chapter 573 [To the South, To the North]

The city of Gilliat.

One hundred and forty years ago, the city had another identity: the capital city.

It was once the capital of a province in the northwest of the Empire. It's just that after that magical man got the title of Duke of Tulip and the northwestern province was classified as the territory of the Tulip family, the city of Gilliat, the original capital city, was quickly abandoned.

The newly built Loulan City became the base camp of the Tulip family. And the city of Gilliat has almost withdrawn from the stage of history.

Of course, its original geographical location, as well as inconvenient transportation and many other factors, are the reasons why the Tulip family gave up on it and chose another nest.

However, for a hundred and forty years, the city of Gilliat was shrouded in a veil of mystery.

This abandoned city...... In fact, it has become a ...... Huge factory!

This is the base camp of the Tulip Family Workshop!

Blockades began to be set up in areas close to thirty miles from the city, and the cavalry of the Tulip family in strange black armor would use a callous attitude to expel a Qiē who tried to get close to it.

The only things that come and go every day are the horses and carts with the tulip family badges. Besides...... There is hardly a single civilian in the city.

No one from the outside world knows what is hidden in the city of Gilliat - only that it must be hiding many important secrets.

Moreover, the army guarding the city of Gilliat seems to have no record in the official list of Tulip private troops.

For more than 100 years, only a few words have been circulated about this city, which has been designated as a forbidden place by the Tulip family.

For example, eighty years ago, the then president of the Magic Academy, a magician with a strong tulip family faction, was invited to enter the city.

And after returning to the Academy of Magic, the dean was at a certain time. After the real yàn room of the college invested a huge amount of resources and the project failed, the dean couldn't help but sigh, and two of them were: maybe...... We should move the real room of this project to the city of Gilliat......

No one knew what this meant, and the dean seemed to be aware of his gaffe, and never said anything on the subject.

Twenty years later, there was a time when the then Emperor personally visited the Northwest and visited the Tulip Family Castle. As an important political signal of good relations between the royal family and the tulip family. It is said that the emperor also privately asked to visit the city of Gilliat, which is known as the base camp of the tulip family's workshop.

However, this request was rejected by the then Duke of Tulip.

The reason for the refusal was that the city of Gilliat, which was only open to the Tulip family.

The Magic Guild once suspected that the Tulip Family probably had a secret magical organization in Gilliat, similar to the School of Magic, maybe not that large, but it must have several very important magical rooms in operation, and there must be a group of top geniuses in the field of magic working for the Tulip Family.

After all. The Tulip family has gathered so many talents, but they have never heard of any particularly powerful family magicians in Tulip Castle.

Also, the tulip workshop is almost every once in a while. There will be several amazing new products or technologies launched, and these things must be from the city of Gilliat!

The most curious thing is one that has disappeared into more than 140 years of history...... Army!

That branch has been there for a brief time in history. But it shines brightly......

Knights of the Air!

Although both the Empire and Tulip still retain the formation of the Air Force today, they ...... Today's air force uses more airships -- airships that have been improved from generation to generation with hot balls.

This airship is good at long-distance transportation. reconnaissance, or the completion of a bombing-like military mission. But the power in air combat has never been satisfactory.

At least, when facing the elven warriors of the elves, the bulky airship and its lack of air-to-air combat power are often criticized.

And the Tulip Family, one hundred and forty years ago, once had a powerful air force!

Griffin Knights!

Although many years ago, the Tulip family had publicly announced that because the cost of artificial cultivation of griffins was too high, and there were many difficulties that could not be overcome, they finally abandoned the project of artificial cultivation of griffins, and the Griffin Knights officially became history......

However, everyone has doubts in their hearts.

Such a powerful force, who would be willing to give up?

When did the Tulip family run out of money?!

......

In the evening of this day, this ancient city seemed to be awakened suddenly.

A group of black-armored cavalry streamed out of the city, and they galloped towards the city in all directions, breaking into pieces, as if a carpet search had begun!

In one night, dozens of miles around the city of Gilliat were indeed swept fiercely!

In the words of a mysterious unknown Tulip Family officer who carried out the order: "Within a radius of thirty miles, even every rabbit has been inspected by us!"

As if to welcome some mysterious big move......

In the middle of the night, the gates of the city of Gilliat were wide open.

Then one after another huge carriages sped out of the city.

The huge number of Cheng dù in the convoy is enough to make people jaw-dropping.

It wasn't until the middle of the night approaching dawn that the huge convoy seemed to be out of the city at last.

The huge carriages of these qualities were covered with a thick tarpaulin, and then, like a torrent, the convoy headed in a certain direction to the north.

Under the night, in the sky, there is a group of dense shadows, silently following......

......

"I really hate the night. ”

Du Wei sat on the horse and looked at the stars in the sky boredly.

It was twenty miles south of the Northwest Fortress.

In the wilderness, behind Du Weiwei was a neat queue of guards cavalry regiments, dense cavalry queues, standing quietly behind her, in the cold wind. The whole army was solemn and there was no noise.

The silence was broken by the sound of horses' hooves coming from the north.

A small group of scout cavalry galloped in, immediately the cavalry of the Tulip family. The face was young and stern, the sweat on his forehead wet his hat, and his hair was already glued into a lump.

They came to Du Weiwei without hindrance, and after dismounting and saluting, they sent the latest news.

Du Weiwei silently listened to the scout captain's report, she suddenly turned over, stood up on horseback, put her hand on her eyebrows, and looked at the north......

Northern...... At night, the place that had been pitch black. Suddenly, there was a little bit of fire, and then the fire became brighter and brighter, and more and more, and finally merged into one, and appeared at the end of the northern sky, flickering, and even the stars in the sky seemed to lose their color.

It's a fire.

Du sighed softly.

That was the direction of the Northwest Fortress.

"Those orcs, they must be excited right now. ”

......

One night in the early spring of the year.

The Northwest Fortress, which once stood in the northwest of the Roland Empire for more than 140 years, officially declared its fall.

A vanguard army of orcs marching south entered the Northwest Fortress. There was no resistance. Not even a single defender or civilian has ever been encountered.

And the excited orcs, as if they were crazy all of a sudden, did not know who started the fire first in the middle of the night. Then the firelight stimulated the beastliness of the orcs, and overnight, the flames were everywhere!

It's as if the orcs want to vent their anger, which has been suppressed for more than 140 years, in one go!

Northwest Fortress. This military town built by the Roland Empire with countless financial resources has been burned to the ground!

The fire burned for seven days.

......

As the commander of the advance army trusted by His Majesty the Great Orc King, the Bronze Tiger. Stone Del's mood at the moment is mixed.

Stone is from the Hoof Clan. Honorable status. Its pedigree can be traced back to the legendary king of the Hoof Clan, who was once listed as one of the three giants of the orcs along with the Bronze Tiger Majesty. Its great-grandfather was a distant brother of Lord Rock.

led the 20,000 elite orc king army as the vanguard of the south, when he really saw this Xiongguan, which gave the orcs a headache more than a hundred years ago, unguarded in front of him......

To tell the truth, at the beginning, I looked at the wide open city gates and the empty darkness on the city walls...... Stone even thought he was dreaming.

It did not even dare to send troops into the city for the first hour.

It thought it was some kind of human conspiracy.

But when it was finally determined that the north-western fortress was indeed undefended, it was like the large and small fortress group that I had seen all the way south.

Stone was excited, and all the orc warriors were excited!

They frantically stormed the Northwest Fortress.

They traveled everywhere, in the barracks, in the commander's mansion...... Playgrounds, and warehouses!

What makes the orcs crazy with excitement is that there are still a lot of supplies in the warehouse!

The ordnance, weapons, armor, blades, bows and arrows made by the best of the man......

Arm thousands of orc warriors!

You must know that in the Orc Kingdom, which is severely lacking in resources, only the most elite Beast King's personal guards are eligible to enjoy the treatment of having a full set of combat equipment!

An ordinary orc warrior is an eldew, and if he distributes an axe and a shield, he is considered an elite.

The orcs began to wreak havoc in the Northwest Fortress with excitement.

Who did the arson first, Stone is completely impossible to investigate.

But...... That doesn't matter.

Anyway, such a Xiongguan is definitely going to be destroyed! This Xiongguan has made orcs hit their heads countless times and bleed, what are you doing with it?! Of course it will be destroyed!

Then burn it!

Only men were sent to guard the warehouse, and in other places, Stone did not send anyone to put out the fire at all, or even to calm and suppress the overly excited soldiers.

After dawn, the fire was out of control.

I don't know which fool found a warehouse left by humans to store tung oil, and hundreds of tung oil were all used as weapons to set fire.

For the first time in his life, Stone understood what a spectacular scene it is to "add fuel to the fire"!

Burn it! Burn it!!

Then there will be nothing left to stop the brave orc warriors from moving south!!

Stone, who was overly excited, overlooked a detail.

In the warehouse left by the human defenders, there are many sophisticated weapons and equipment, and even tung oil ......

However, not a single grain of grain was left!!

"Leave five hundred people behind and clean up here. Send someone back to tell the news to His Royal Highness the Beast King Bronze Tiger...... And then ......" Stone yelled, "We're going south!!"

"Go South!!Go South!!"

The red-eyed orc warriors roared and shouted frantically, raising their weapons, and some orcs were draped in fabrics, leather jackets, and even silk looted from the warehouse.

"Going South!!

......

When the steppe cavalry looked at the empty line of defense in front of them with unenforceable eyes, the only thought on everyone's mind at this moment was ......

They adore their great steppe king!

His Majesty the Prairie King is simply an omnipotent god!!

What kind of miraculous method did he use to wipe out all the Roland defenders on this defensive line?

Don't...... Is it really witchcraft? Is it the gods of the snowy mountains who are blessing the brave steppe warriors?!

To the north, three military fortresses in a row, and a small city, were all empty.

The army of Thor's Whip, which was originally stationed here and maintained the northern military defense line, has withdrawn.

The northwest defense line built by Panin seems to be deliberate...... In the direction of the north, there is a gap that is not too big or small.

This generation, which is dozens of miles long and more than ten miles wide, has been completely abandoned by Panin.

Previously, Rova City, the Northwest Fortress and other areas were blocked by this line of defense.

And at this moment, this barrier is gone.

"Let's continue north!!"

This is a command that comes out of the king's tent.

At this time, no one dared to question the order of the Prairie King.

Everyone thought that after breaking through the defense line of the one-armed general named Panin, behind the defense line, maybe it was the city where the Roland people were so rich! It was the granary! It was the mountain of gold!

"To the north!!to the north!!"

Countless steppe warriors raised their scimitars and shouted wildly on horseback.

"To the north!!"
