Autumn passes quickly with the falling leaves flying.
Dragon City has entered a state of combat readiness in advance, and all the soldiers are on standby. The training of the 50th Army has also ended, and the battle has begun. After experiencing the blood, they can become Dragon City's new help!
Due to the closure of Dragon City, Seth City has become a transit point for trade. Every day, a large number of foreign merchants come with gold coins to buy goods. The prosperity of commerce has also made the previously unknown small town suddenly become a
It has become one of the few commercial centers in the mainland. For this, the residents of Seth City are grateful. Coupled with the assimilation effect of Yandi Temple, it can produce nearly a hundred citizens every month.
Autumn is coming to an end. The total population of Dragon City, Longgang, Acropolis, and Seth City has exceeded 100,000, and the number of citizens has increased to 50,000!
The number of troops in Longcheng remained at 45,000.
Among them, the First Army has about 10,000 people. The Second Army has the largest number, about 20,000. The 50th Army has 10,000 people. Plus the city defenders in the four places and the fortress army at Yamaguchi, the total is about 40,000.
About a thousand people.
After Zhou Yunfei spent a busy autumn, he was waiting for the cold snap from the north and the civil war in the empire!
After the death of the old emperor of the empire, the eldest prince prepared to ascend the throne as emperor, while the other three princes were gearing up to prepare for a crusade. Out of interests, the various big families in the empire lined up to support their respective princes. Of course, there were also some who were neutral like Zhou Yunfei.
Attitude. For example, the largest fortress in the north, the Far North Fortress.
The Far North Fortress was established in the second year after the founding of the Byvost Empire. It has been repaired eight times since then! It is the northernmost barrier of the entire human society! At that time, Saint Emperor Thors Byvost once issued the ancestral precepts
, sealed the Far North Fortress as a permanent fortified area, and any prince who is not a prince must remain anonymous and become a member of the fortress army! Therefore, in the past three hundred years, the entire Far North Fortress has gradually become another gathering place for royal blood. In addition,
Emperor Thors also issued an edict that the troops in the Far North Fortress can never leave the city and go south! Even if the empire is destroyed! The northernmost barrier of mankind must be guarded!
In this way, generations of princes have silently implemented the legacy of their ancestors. Of course, there are also some frustrated princes who have thought about using this army to fight for the throne, but their consequences have been tragic. You are not the only one here.
It's the royal bloodline! It's precisely because of these royal bloodlines that they silently guard the empire, the humans they protect, and the orcs in the north, so they don't dare to go south easily!
However, last winter, the orcs found a new passage to bypass the Far North Fortress. Because of this, the eldest prince ordered the Far North Fortress army to go south to annihilate the orcs who penetrated deep into the empire, but they were dismissed as ancestors.
The vengeful eldest prince withheld all the food and military pay that should be supplemented this year. As a result, the current Far North Fortress is very passive. Seeing that winter is coming, they have to endure the danger of insufficient food and grass, and the possibility of fighting against the orcs.
attack.
In fact, it is not that no one thought that the orcs would attack on a large scale this winter. The commander of the Far North Fortress, Ian Sale, had guessed that he would face the orcs this winter since the orcs’ unusual behavior last year.
Crazy attack! However, he had no choice. Now the struggle for several princes was about to begin, especially the two major forces in the north, Claire and Cantero, who respectively supported the third prince and the eldest prince. Suddenly, the strength of the northern part of the empire was reduced.
Ninth! What can he do in this way? It is already extremely difficult to ensure that the Far North Fortress does not fall! What troops are left to save the people of the empire behind him! What's more, whether the food and grass in the fortress can survive this winter is questionable.
Hard to say!
No matter what their current situation is, Zhou Yunfei is only worried about his own Dragon City.
If you want to punch, you must retract your fist. If you want to be able to punch, you must first be able to be beaten.
Therefore, the most important thing is whether we can ensure that Dragon City will not suffer any losses in the upcoming war, or that the losses will be minimal!
From the intelligence, it can be predicted that whether it is a civil war in the empire or a cold wave in the north, the entire human north will be plunged into chaos. If it is a civil war, it is okay to say that it is at least humanity's own business, but if the orcs move south in large numbers, then
It’s hard to say. If it’s not right, the foundation of the entire human society will be shaken. The elves in the East, who have been ready to move, always want to regain their glory, and now the war between humans and centaurs in the south has touched the people even more.
There are many shadows hidden in the hearts of aliens. If you are not careful, the Holy War three hundred years ago may happen again!
In this way, time passed by step by step. When the second crop of grain in Longcheng was about to be harvested, the first snow in the north also fell.
"Phew, it's so cold! The civil war didn't start after all. It seems that the orcs arrived first. Fortunately, otherwise, it's really hard to imagine how the situation would have evolved!" He rubbed his slightly cold hair vigorously.
With red cheeks, Zhou Yunfei sighed.
Diao Chan approached and put the slipped coat back on him. Zhou Yunfei turned around and held the beauty's hand and said, "Sister Chan, can you play a song for me? I really want to hear it now."
"Master, please close the window first, don't catch a cold. I will go get the piano now."
Listening to the beautiful lady playing the strings with her fingertips, and bursts of wonderful sounds floated out, she closed her eyes slightly to calm down the slightly anxious mood in her heart.
Miss Yuna of Claire's family was holding a letter from Dragon City in her hand, which was a secret letter written by Zhou Yunfei to her.
"There may be changes in the north. I hope you and others will be careful and postpone the fight for the throne." These few words can reveal a trace of concern. Of course, who is this concern for? Is it a commoner? Is it the third prince? Or maybe it is
She? Yuna looked at the falling snow outside the window, and couldn't help but think of that thin body and that annoying domineering attitude.
After receiving Zhou Yunfei's message, Yuna immediately informed the third prince to come to discuss.
The third prince took Yuna's letter doubtfully, looked at it, and said solemnly: "Is this from Dragon City?"
"Exactly, I received it earlier today." Yuna answered affirmatively.
The third prince pondered for a while and then said: "It seems that Zhou Yunfei has obtained some information, so he came to this conclusion. Anyway, we are not ready to attack the army. As he said, we must be careful to guard against the orc catastrophe this year."
Loot it."
Yuna nodded and indicated that she had the same idea. After the two reached a consensus, they quickly sent people to notify the residents scattered outside the city and moved them into the city. At the same time, they strengthened security in various places to prevent the attacks of the orcs.
With the series of actions of the third prince, the eldest prince breathed a sigh of relief. Faced with the squeeze from the three forces, the eldest prince was now having a hard time. He also did not dare to transfer the northern garrison to the south, especially when winter came. And the rest
Several princes understood his situation and stepped up their preparations for a battle in the coming spring.
Now that the actions of the third prince and the Claire family have shared the defense of the north, it has really relieved the tense eldest prince. Otherwise, once all the troops at hand are used up this winter, how can he protect his throne?
!
...
Time goes like this, with the arrival of the first snow, Zhou Yunfei spent his first year after time travel. Thinking of all the things he has done this year, Zhou Yunfei is still very proud. The increase in strength in his hands has made that goal become
Not so far away.
However, now Zhou Yunfei, like everyone else, is waiting for the cold wave from the north to the south.
No one knows when, where, or how the orcs and humans will have their biggest, and probably the last, confrontation in recent years!
...
The far north region, north of Hengduan Mountain.
Looking at the huge army in front of him, Thor Draka, the great orc leader, stood in front of the army and shouted loudly: "Warriors! Today, we will pick up the weapons in our hands! Walk out of the Hengduan Mountains! Take the
Return to the land that belongs to us! Those weak humans in the south have occupied the fertile land for more than three hundred years! For today, our families endured hunger! We even gave our own lives in exchange for the hope of a better future! We cannot let it down.
Their hope! If we cannot win, we will starve to death! The great orc family will also perish! Warriors! Answer me! What should we do!"
"For the tribe! For the tribe! For the tribe!" The sound echoed through the sky.
"Lok-tarogar! For the tribe!" Thor raised the battle ax in his hand and roared loudly!
"Lok-tarogar! For the tribe!" Looking at the army with high morale, Thor waved his hand, and groups of orc warriors, wearing thick fur clothes, walked towards the south. They would use the weapons in their hands and their own
Blood paves a way to the future for the orcs, whether it is death or life.
