The sound of flying flags, the earth-shattering drums, the fierce winds, and the sound of neat footsteps shook the earth, and the sound of the soldiers' shields and weapons clashing was incessant.

The captains of the soldiers, holding their respective flags and emblems, shouted to the soldiers to enter the formation with angry roars. On the cloudless sky, the sun was shining, and the army was clothed in golden robes.

The melodious sound of the horn sounded, as if it were a beacon tower, passing from the very center of the army to the edge of the left and right flank lines. The Radiant Cross Banner and the Golden Laurel Banner in the center served as a guide for all the soldiers.

"All ready—march into formation, be reviewed!" roared the centurions, and squad after squad of centurion soldiers stomped vigorously and turned to stand. The shield was placed in front of him, and his left hand held it, and his right hand grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, raising his head high. There is no joy, no fear, Chen Jing's is like a pool of stagnant water.

These are the veterans—they know when to keep their composure and set an example to the recruits, and when to lift their spirits and raise the morale of the brethren behind them, who are the most indispensable people in an army, and who deserve to be the vanguard of the whole army.

In the bleak sky, vultures were circling, knowing that a delicious meal would soon await them. Looking down from the sky, the neat phalanx of coalition infantry consisted of four colours – the white Laria, the red Roman, the brown Salion, and the gray at the rear of the army - the Mistemaeus guerrillas.

This is not all the liliang in the north, but it is an absolute elite division, and it is the heroes who are ready to declare the will of the northerners to the orcs who are frantically plundering in the south - pour their essence to crush all the orc tribes that migrate northward to smigrate, expressing the determination and action of the northerners to defend the territory to the death!

The terrain of Severcro was destined to be extremely unfavorable for the attacking side - it was difficult to deploy it all, and there was only one side to attack. But Theodore was determined to fight from the front, at the rising of this dawn, and to fight with his mighty army against the brave savage orcs, without any stratagem—there was nothing more confident than a frontal crushing of the enemy!

Theodore riding Weber. Wearing his own purple horsehair helmet and wearing a dark purple coat, he patrolled in front of the army. It was conspicuous enough for all the soldiers to see him, and he wanted them to know that he was with them.

As Theodore approached the Roman ranks, a familiar figure made him pause his horse, Weber, who stood at the forefront with his head raised and shield in hand.

"Military Tribune Ustan Konstantin, you are a combat hero and a good commander. Theodore smiled: "How are you going to fight?"

"I'm going to fight for you! Caesar. For Rome, for the north!" Ustan cried out so loudly for the first time: "I will stand on the first front and fight bloodily for your victory!"

"I'm sure you'll live up to the name of the Konstantin family. Theodore nodded, and then looked in the direction of the entire army: "You! are all children of the northerners. Will you be ashamed of your family and your homeland?!Will you let them endure humiliation?!"

"The castle of the northerners has been invaded by the orcs, and the warriors who fought bloodily have been humiliated! Theodore roared, "It was a dark day, even the moon was shrouded in shadows, and our friends, our brothers, were beaten to death by the enemy, and what could be more resentful?

"Revenge - !!! Revenge - !! Revenge - !! Revenge - !!!"

"Our glory has been trampled on by brutes. Our land is insulted by them, and our homeland is threatened by them. Theodore roared angrily, "Tell me what you are going to do, northerners!"

"Revenge - !!! Revenge - !! Revenge - !! Revenge - !!!"

"We will fight to the end and wash away this glory with blood. It's not a Larian thing, it's not a Roman thing. This is not a matter for the people of Salion, nor for the people of Mistermai...... This is the business of the northerners, this is the business of all mankind!" Theodore cried, "The sun of the sky will remember this day, and we are in Severcro. The roar of shouting and fighting in the Broken Mountain is the first clarion call for human shijie to fight back!"

"Bloody War - !!! Bloody War - !!! Bloody War - !!! Bloody War - !!!"

"Remember all this. Theodore gasped for air, and the emotionally charged coalition soldiers shouted loudly. Excited, even Theodore was attracted by this emotion, pulled out the glorious cross from his waist, held it high above the top, and the white light bloomed, and the dazzling brilliance was reflected in the eyes of all the soldiers with Theodor galloping on horseback.

"The gods of heaven are with us—!!!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

With a roar, a huge ballista was dragged by eight bullocks, and dozens of infantry in simple leather armor shouted slogans to push the huge wooden wheel and transport the behemoth to the forefront of the army - at the same time, eight trebuchets were pushed closer than the ballistas - this counterweight trebuchet was not very accurate, and most of them were disposable weapons, but it was better than simplicity.

"Battering ram - !!!battering ram - !!!battering ram - !!!"

The soldiers who saw the giant ballista shouted feverishly, constantly striking the shield with the spear and sword in their hands, making a wave-like cry, as if welcoming the appearance of a warrior.

"Are we really going to do this? This is Severcro, the strongest castle in the North, and with it, we can fight even if the enemy is in full force. Bran had a slight pity in his tone, as if he was lamenting the loss of a warrior: "Wouldn't it be better to keep it?"

"Yes, with it, the whole north can sit back and relax, and don't have to worry about the flames of war burning to their doorstep. Theodore's face was grim, and there was a hint of determination in his eyes: "But with it, the northerners will never understand that the enemy has arrived at their doorstep, don't you think this kind of leisure has been too long?!" ”

"I see what you mean. Bran said calmly, "It's just that I'm sorry for the Best family - they didn't wait until they died." ”

Theodore looked at him, and did not say anything more, but resolutely raised the glorious cross in his hand, and slashed a white sword downward, and the herald who received the order lowered the banner, as if the battering rams of the ancient beasts had finally begun to operate, and the eight trebuchets also lowered their throwing arms, slowly accumulating their strength.

From the very beginning, Theodore's goal was not to recapture the castle of Severcro, but to destroy it completely, to destroy the "gates" and "barriers" of the north - even if he took it back? Even if he could defend it, what could he do? Wouldn't the orcs come again? Impossible!

Theodore, who had fought once in the defense of Severcro, did not want to fight a second time, and the northerners who did not have a sense of crisis would never understand the horror of the orcs, and did not know the severity of the problem, and the castle of Severcro was a barrier for them to deceive themselves - in that case, then completely smash Severcro, so that they no longer had a choice.

Either follow him and fight on his back, or wait for death - Theodore is not going to give them more choices, he needs the liliang of all the northerners, but it is too difficult for them to support him wholeheartedly - then he can only use victory, and use victory to establish absolute authority, use the threat of the orcs to unite them, and firmly hold the north in his own hands - only in this way can he have the liliang who fights the orcs to the death.

The Rome of the past was able to defeat the enemy, not because the Roman legions were so strong that they were invincible - Rome was defeated many times in history, but Rome could be defeated countless times, as long as it won the victory of Zuihou, and the enemy could not afford to lose even once, and if he lost once, he would lose everything.

The reason for this is that Rome has the support of the entire Roman Empire, and the enemy is often just a new liliang born because of the rise of a certain strongman. The same is true of Theodore, he needs the population, food, minerals, cloth, and many other resources of the north to train ten or even a dozen excellent elite legions, and then make the entire north the reserve army of the legions, only a war machine that serves the war wholeheartedly can confront another war machine.

This is also the reason why Theodore insisted on supporting the Kwyn River without dividing his troops - even if he tried his best to block the eastern attack of the Orcs, the gentry of the Kwyn River would only consider it their duty, let them fight the enemy once, they would understand how much Theodore had paid, and they would serve Rome wholeheartedly - only after being beaten did they know what it felt like, and only after going to the battlefield did they understand the preciousness of life.

Even so, he sent his most trusted generals and the elite First Wing to help the Kwyn River, and looked around for reinforcements - if these people's army really couldn't stop it, it wouldn't be a matter of a year or two for a scorched Kwyn River to recover.

"Report to you, honorable Caesar. All the catapults are ready!"

"Then what are you waiting for?!" Theodore said with a smile, "Open the gates of the Broken Mountains for me, battering rams!"

With a screaming sound that tore through the air, the black boulder flew towards the Boundary Mountain that supported the heavens and the earth with a long afterimage!

"History will be written. Theodore chuckled and whispered to himself.
