From pioneer lord to king

"Woooooo-"

On the boundless snowy ground, a tall animal-shaped metal statue stood, and in front of it was an altar burning with green flames.

Tens of thousands of orc soldiers surrounded the statue, kneeling on their knees, their faces full of piety and awe.

On the edge of the altar, hundreds of powerful and respected orc shamans surrounded them, holding up their white bone staffs, and their mouths were full of obscure incantations.

The shaman in the middle is more than three meters long, but he is as thin as a bamboo pole. He is covered with all kinds of teeth, skulls, eyeballs and other things. The deep-set eye sockets are not eyeballs, but burning The ghostly flame.

He stood above the flames of the altar, singing ancient songs in a low voice.

He suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "The beast god lives forever!"

"The beast god lives forever!" All the orc warriors shouted frantically, and the snowflakes floating in the sky seemed to be shattered by them.

"Great and supreme beast god, please give us strength and guide us!" The shaman knelt down devoutly to the beast god.

Immediately, a group of heavily armed orc soldiers came over a large group of captives, about thousands of them, including not only humans, gnolls, goblins, but also dwarves and orcs.

They knelt down beside the altar with numb expressions, and the raging flames inside couldn't cause any fluctuations in their hearts.

"Beast God, please enjoy your sacrifice."

As soon as the shaman finished speaking, the orc soldiers pushed the captured captives into the altar one by one, and the green flames instantly devoured their flesh and blood.

But their souls were stripped out individually, and they all converged on the metal statue of the beast god, and finally merged into it.

For a moment, the situation above the altar suddenly changed, and a blood cloud enveloped the lower part. The strong smell of blood inside was disgusting, and the loud cries inside were even more chilling.

As the captives were thrown into it one by one, the scale of the blood cloud became larger and larger, but the degree of sacrifice was far more than that. Soon another group of captives were escorted over and thrown into the altar one after another.

Nine waves of sacrifices have been made, and the blood cloud is boundless. This time the sacrifice is considered to be over.

"bye--"

With the shaman taking the lead, all the orcs present kowtowed their heads into the snow again.

The originally ordinary metal sculpture suddenly erupted with a gloomy light, and the blood cloud in the air suddenly formed a vortex with the sculpture as the center.

The blood cloud was quickly absorbed, and after the absorption, the entire sculpture turned scarlet, filled with bloody evil aura.

"buzzing"

The flames in the altar immediately began to shake extremely fast, and soon these flames actually formed a flat mirror surface, if it weren't for the flames dancing, it would really be exactly like a glazed mirror.

"Om-"

A small point suddenly protruded from the center of the mirror, and then the protruding part became longer and larger, and finally gradually formed the shape of a battle axe.

With fanaticism on his face, the orc shaman came to it step by step, and reached out to pick it up.

It was a slightly broken battle axe, the overall color was crimson red, and the lines on the surface of the ax seemed to be like blood flowing in it.

This is the battle artifact bestowed upon them by the Beast God, [Bloodthirsty Tomahawk], which represents the will of violence and killing. It is the most powerful killing weapon in the entire continent, and every appearance represents countless bloody storms.

"The Beast God has given us infinite power, now, send troops to attack!" The orc shaman waved his battle ax and pointed at the human fortress in the distance.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu of-" The low-pitching horn sounded, and the snow curtain was dispersed, revealing a huge army of orcs.

Ferocious wargs, tall chariots, and endless orc soldiers, they are like a green torrent, rumbling forward in the direction pointed by the battle axe.

At the beginning of March, an army of 30 orcs came to the kingdom of Tistan, and the war between humans and orcs officially started.

In just one week, the human kingdoms on the front line in the east were all violently attacked by the orc army. For a while, rivers of blood flowed and smoke filled the ground.

Although the preparations had been made long ago, the 30 orc army still put the pressure on the frontal battlefield. The garrison in the western and southern borders added up to less than 18, and a part of them was transferred to the north, and the number was even smaller.

Adding the two Grand Dukes, dozens of marquises, earls and other nobles' private army, the total strength is less than 50. This is a very large number, but for powerful orcs, this number is not safe.

Immediately, the call-up orders were scattered like snowflakes, and more than half of the minor nobles received the call-up orders and immediately led their troops to the battlefield.

Fortunately, the Kanna Territory belongs to the border territory and has the task of guarding the border, so it has not received a call-up order, which is rare good news.

The whole Kingdom of Tistan is like a machine, it has been rumbled into motion, and most of the country is going all out for the orc battlefield.

At the same time, the northern border is also full of troops. There are more than 15 troops in the Shuofeng Fortress, and they are sharpening their swords, and there are still a steady stream of soldiers coming over.

Constantine II can be described as ambitious. This time he plans to invest about 30 troops on the northern battlefield, preparing to take the Kuwait region in one fell swoop.

There were more than [-] orcs attacking the Kingdom of Andes, and the border with the orcs was already in chaos, but even so, they did not ignore the defense of the border.

On the front line of Kuwait's snow field, the Kingdom of Andes deployed a huge army of more than 20 people, just to prevent the Kingdom of Tistan from taking advantage of the fire.

This battle is destined not to be easy...

In early April, the weather was fine and the spring plowing had just ended.

The "Tiankeng" battle is about to start.

A large number of materials were transported to Linshan City, and more than 2 hired migrant workers inside were also evacuated in batches.

Three thousand heavily armed soldiers were waiting for the final order from Commander-in-Chief Drey.

The road to the "tiankeng" has already been opened. They set off in the early morning and reach the edge of the tiankeng in the afternoon.

This time, it can be said that De Lai spent a lot of money. A large number of crystal bombs and shells were delivered in advance, and the battle was a thunderous blow.

He even disassembled and transported a heavy cannon, which is a sharp weapon against big targets, not to mention those crispy monsters, even monsters with rough skin and thick flesh below level [-] will lose at least half their lives in one shot.

"Mr. Sterling, you know the devil best. Do you have anything to explain before you act?" Drey asked, looking at the chief consultant Sterling beside him.

Hearing this, Sterling stood up and said: "Demon species often lack the means of long-range attack, but they move quickly and in large numbers.

Therefore, from the very beginning, we must concentrate all our firepower, try to kill their vital forces as much as possible, and try to avoid close combat.

If you don't wear rune plate armor, ordinary plate armor is difficult to play a defensive role, so I suggest not to wear ordinary armor, it will affect the agility of soldiers.

Also, on this map, most of the important facilities in the tiankeng are marked. Once the war starts, please attack these places first.

Moreover, the fog in the tiankeng is slightly corrosive to creatures, so we'd better stay on the ground and let the monsters come out of the tiankeng to fight us, and we can use this to consume a lot of their vitality.

In the end, we only need to gather a capable force to go deep into the sinkhole and destroy the fog-making tower. As long as we succeed, the battle is basically won.

Because neither the devil nor the devil can survive in an environment without gray fog for a long time. "

"Well, Mr. Sterling has already said in detail, order the troops to move out!" Drey gave the order, and the heavily armed soldiers stepped into the Warcraft Mountains one after another.

This time, De Lai used all his strength. As soon as they started the attack, the only defensive force left in Kanarling was the third battalion led by Hans, so they had to make a quick decision.

After the troops reached the periphery of the "tiankeng", they began to quickly build fortifications, and temporary warehouses, barracks, and command posts sprang up.

As Sterling said, they currently do not have the conditions to confront the devil head-on in the "tiankeng", so they can only continue to erode their vitality.

This time they brought a lot of equipment, including one [Magic Crystal Heavy Cannon], thirty field cannons from the Artillery Battalion, and six rapid-fire cannons.

There are ten trebuchets, but what they fire is not a stone bomb, but a [crystal bomb] composed of fifty chaotic crystals, which is very powerful.

[Thousand Machine Crossbows] Equipped with three full brigades, that is, three hundred handles, all of which are improved versions, and can be fired five times in a row. If they take turns shooting, this number of times will be extended.

In addition, thanks to the excavation of white crystal veins, [Crystal Bomb] is no longer a weapon that is equipped with a small amount. As long as the quantity is reduced, it can be transformed into a powerful grenade.

Tens of thousands of such grenades have been prepared this time, and all the white crystal stocks in the territory have been used for more than half a year. Moreover, just in case, the Rune Laboratory has sent a group of researchers to the arsenal to specialize in the production of shells, grenades, Rune arrows and other consumables.

As much as the white crystal veins are mined, they will be sent to them, and they are fully prepared for a protracted war!

In the temporary command post, the commanders of various troops gathered together, as well as high-end combat forces invited to sit in the command post - Sterling, Xiyue, Mei Lan, Bo Lei.

Each of them has high-level and above strength, the purpose is to prevent powerful devils from beheading.

Drey spread out the drawings provided by Sterling, looked around and said: "Everyone, the battle will start on time at sunrise tomorrow, and when we make a move, it must be a thunderous blow!
Artillery Battalion! "

"Here." A young-looking officer stood up and said.

"You are the main force. I need you to deploy artillery positions on both sides and the front of the tiankeng. When the heavy artillery on my side is fired, your field artillery and trebuchets will attack immediately.

Your targets are these points. Without my order, the attack cannot be stopped. "De Lai outlined several target areas on the drawing.

"As ordered."

"Koron, Shia, and Mias, the mission of your three infantry battalions is to build fortifications around the three artillery positions, and the demons will attack with crossbows, spears and other weapons as soon as they emerge.

If you encounter a large monster, use the [Thousand Machine Crossbow] for precise strikes. When the attack is fierce, you can use the [Rapid Fire Cannon] and grenades, and try to avoid close combat.

But, without my order, you must be firmly nailed there, even if the demons enter the fortifications, you can't take a step back, understand? "

De Lai looked at them seriously. Although he wanted to avoid casualties as much as possible, he had to be prepared to make huge sacrifices when necessary!
They can't lose this battle, and they can't afford to lose!
"Understood, as long as we have breath, we will never take a step back." The three battalion commanders led the task with a heavy heart.

Their pressure is the greatest. Once they start a frontal conflict, they have very limited weapons that can cause damage to the monsters, and close combat is unavoidable.

"Very well, Levi's, the troops under your command will serve as a reserve team, waiting for my orders at any time."

"Obey." Levi's calmly accepted the order.

"The security of the rear and the safety of the transportation line will be handed over to your reloading brigade." De Lai looked at a strong man in the corner. The reloading brigade has undergone another round of expansion since Peter was transferred, and currently has 300 people. People, led by Omor, Peter's adjutant.

Although this place is on the edge of the monster mountain range, there are often monsters appearing and appearing. After the battle starts, there must be a lot of movement. Maybe there will be a spy from the monsters. Their task is to guard the rear of the army and meet the supply team of the territory.

"I will not disgrace my order." Omor got up and obeyed.

After everything was arranged properly, De Lai announced the dissolution and asked them to go down and prepare separately.

But for some reason, De Lai always felt a little uneasy in his heart, because these monsters were so quiet that they were allowed to dig fortifications and build positions.

Not to mention large-scale attacks, even harassment, it is a bit abnormal.

"General Drey, what are you thinking?" Sterling walked to Drey and asked.

"Mr. Sterling, I'm wondering if these guys are too quiet." Drey expressed his doubts.

"It's really abnormal. Tonight may be a sleepless night."

"You mean they will carry out night raids?" Dreyer's eyes lit up, and he knew where his uneasiness came from. Night battles were their major shortcoming.

Once the enemy takes the initiative to attack in the middle of the night, his arrangement will be completely disrupted, and the outcome will be hard to say.

"It seems that there is only a pre-emptive strike, and the initiative must be in our hands!"

At present, the fortifications are not very perfect, and De Lai originally planned to launch the attack after the preparations are complete tomorrow, which is also in line with his consistent style of seeking stability.

But adaptability is also a must-have trait for a commander.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon that day, with the roar of the muzzle of the [Magic Crystal Heavy Cannon], the "Tiankeng" war started immediately.

The three artillery positions began to pour firepower on their respective predetermined targets at the first time.

"Boom"

"boom--"

All of a sudden, various explosions could be heard, and the strong light from the explosions surged under the gray fog in the "Tiankeng", which never stopped for a moment.

I don't know how many years later, the battle between humans and devils started again...
