Chapter 40 Frostwolf City
The natural elf tribe dares to establish a settlement near the Hengduan Mountains near the wilderness, and they are not afraid of hardship.
Li Ge transformed into a human form and escorted the team forward. Luvia was responsible for maintaining order. Lucia followed Li Ge. In her words, Li Ge was the master and she had to be by her side to obey orders at all times. Regarding this elf girl, Li Ge felt a little bit like a daughter. The image of the little girl who begged him to save her sister was still fresh in his memory.
There are many elven tribes in the elven empire. The high elves have the smallest number but the noblest blood. They are the royal family appointed by the elven god Corellon. Other moon elves and sun elves are also nobles.
Nature elves are the middle class. Most of them are soldiers and rangers. They are not as good as those above, but more than below. Their life span is more than five hundred years, which is far less than the two thousand years of high elves. Their strength after adulthood is also very different.
"Lucia, why don't your tribe live in the Elf Empire?" Li Ge was a little curious. Most of the elves on the mainland live in the super forest in the west.
"Sir, this is related to the system of the Elf Empire. High elves and other nobles have great power. In their eyes, ordinary elves like us are not compatriots at all, but like servants. An ordinary high elf can commandeer us at will. "Such a small tribe."
Lucia's face was a little solemn. "Some high elf nobles treat us ordinary elves as playthings. To put it bluntly, the elven gods also look down on ordinary elves like us. The ancestors of our tribe originally wanted to protect The tribe offended the great nobles, so they had no choice but to move all the way here. Although the conditions are harsh, with the protection of the silver dragon, they are still more comfortable than in the Elf Empire."
It seems that the world is all the same. Humans, orcs, and elves who claim to be noble and elegant are all controlled by a small number of people, and most of the lower class are reduced to cattle and horses.
"Lucia, now you have become my people. Apart from fulfilling your obligations, I will not interfere with you excessively, as long as you can remain loyal." "Thank you, sir. We elves value our promises more than humans." Lucia was filled with heart
. Rejoice, with the protection of a powerful and kind-hearted dragon like Li Ge, the Elf tribe can live a stable life for a long time.
Apart from eating and replenishing their strength, the team did not stop along the way. Li Ge simply applied the levitation technique to the reindeer carts, and the speed of the journey was greatly accelerated.
Finally, when most of the elves were exhausted, the Mage Tower came into view. Selina, who received the magic communication, quickly arranged for Mayor Carman to lead the guards to respond.
The Elf tribe has its own people responsible for the resettlement. Now in the state of war, they can only squeeze in first. The Elf tribe also understands this.
Li Ge returned to the mage tower, and the four core members, Liya, Xilia, Yilin, and Selena, sat together and listened to Li Ge's story.
"This war is no less impressive than the one a hundred years ago. The Five-Colored Dragon and the Dragon Worship Cult are a big trouble, but we have our own Dragon Gods and the elders of each Metal Dragon clan to deal with it. We ourselves should not blindly participate and mess up the situation." Leia is very serious, and among the dragons, she is the only one with the most experience.
In the vast northern province, countless civilians were slaughtered by the orcs, and some were even used as military rations. The brutality of the orcs is not just talk.
The power of the Rhine Empire in the northern provinces retreated to the castles and cities of various great nobles. The central government of the empire has issued a mobilization order, and a large number of nobles in the south have assembled troops to go north to support.
At present, the army of the Northern Province, which accounts for one-third of the military strength of the Rhine Empire, can barely sustain itself for a few days under the command of the Frostwolf Archduke. If there is no more support, once Frostwolf City falls, the northern portal of the Rhine Empire will be completely opened, and the most prosperous hinterland of mankind will be exposed to the iron hoof of the orcs.
The major churches of the human gods, the Mage Kingdom, and the Business Alliance have organized reinforcements. If the Rhine Empire, the eldest brother of human forces, is defeated, they will be finished.
Under Frostwolf City, among the several major orc royal families, the Frostwolf tribe is the main attacker. This Frostwolf City is the shame of the Frostwolf tribe. In the heart of tribal chief Talon, only by completely destroying this city can the tribe's century-old shame be washed away.
In the orc king's tent, the chiefs of the orc tribe were sitting around below. At the top was the orc emperor Meng Ge, who was nearly three meters tall and his long fangs added to his majesty.
"Talon, within three days, we must capture Frostwolf City. If you can't, then let me, Behemoth, come down." The orc emperor Meng Ge slapped his hand on the seat.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if only one warrior from our Frostwolf tribe dies, we will still capture Frostwolf City." Talon, who was wearing a wolf-headed hat, was so angry that he picked up his battle ax and left the king's tent.
Most of the orcs have hot tempers, and Meng Ge doesn't take it seriously. "Your Majesty, His Highness the Pope has sent a messenger," a tall orc guard announced.
The pope he was talking about was naturally the pope of the church of the orc god Gruumsh. "Please come in, messenger," Meng Ge said in a deep voice. Although he had some troubles with the pope, he still had to give him some face, and the orc army was also indispensable for the orcs. Priest of the Gods.
The messenger came in. He was a senior priest of Gruush. After bowing, the messenger loudly said, "Your Majesty, the ancient warlord has died, and his soul has not returned to the Kingdom of God. The Pope asks your Majesty to be careful, there may be other forces. Intervene”.
Meng Ge was indifferent and even a little happy. This bastard, Wa Gu, had taken refuge in the church and often did not listen to the orders of the emperor. With the support of the Pope, Meng Ge had nothing to do with Wa Gu, so it was just right that he was dead now.
But even the soul has not escaped. This opponent should not be underestimated. "Please reply to the Pope, and I will arrange for someone to investigate." Meng Ge replied, giving a perfunctory explanation first.
On the Frostwolf city wall, Talon personally led the elite of the Frostwolf tribe to attack the city wall. Together with Talon, the Frostwolf tribe has six legendary warriors and one legendary shaman, who are very powerful.
The Frostwolf Duke in the city, also a legendary warrior, led several legion commanders to intercept Talon and launched a desperate fight.
The Rhine Empire had a standing army of three million, and the northern provinces had about one million. In the Hengduan Mountains, the human checkpoint was lost and nearly 300,000 troops were lost in the battle.
Other cities in the northern province also account for half of the remaining troops. At this moment, there are only more than 300,000 troops left in Frostwolf City.
In more than ten days of fighting, more than 100,000 people were killed or injured. In addition to being slightly better equipped than orcs, human warriors are far inferior in combat effectiveness. Faced with the Frostwolf Tribe's overwhelming force, they really couldn't hold on any longer.
Duke Frostwolf just wanted to scold his mother. Normally, the emperor was afraid of the military power in his hands and would resort to various tricks. But now that the war had been going on for so long, reinforcements were still being assembled. This was forcing him to die.
