"Those half-orcs have won a beautiful victory. This winter, the price of fur here will probably increase a lot."

While joking, Tempus looked directly into the old general's eyes.

"In any case, it is the land of Marconia after all, and the people who died are also citizens of Marconia. Our invincible legion must show its performance at this time."

"Yes Your Majesty, our boys are always on call."

The old general's statement made Tempus smile with satisfaction.

"So, tell me, how many lads does it take to go to that shitty place to fix the problem?"

Maximian smiled slightly contemptuously.

"Those beasts? A thousand men is enough."

Tempus nodded, and then asked:

"Do you need the assistance of the church, or the help of the Dawn Knight?"

"Absolutely unnecessary."

The old general first stated his position firmly, and then explained in detail.

"On that kind of terrain, the Dawn Knight's performance will be greatly affected, and it is likely to encounter completely unnecessary losses."

"As for the church...with all due respect, their priest team is more likely to be dragged down on the battlefield over there."

"In that kind of complicated terrain, our young man might not be very happy to use his life to protect a group of masters who can hardly be said to be of much help while carefully tracking down the enemy."

Tempus nodded, and then asked with a little worry:

"However, the plague and poisonous insects there..."

"We already have better drugs, more targeted devices, don't we?"

Maximian smiled confidently.

"Let those priests reserve their strength and use it on a bigger battlefield in the future. The Kingdom's army can handle this small situation by itself!"

After that, the two discussed the specific details.

Three days later, Andy Mien was appointed as the commander of the Crusade Army and dispatched troops to the southern border.

Chapter 32 The Sudden Flame of War

"Rocket! A pair of three, I win!"

A burst of excited shouts broke the soothing rhythm of the pattering rain.

Serena looked at Meredith, who was full of joy, and casually rubbed Elaine's white and smooth fur beside her, pushing the last chip in front of her.

"Okay, I lost everything again, so let's end here."

She stood up, looked out the window a little irritably, and then walked towards Moira who was biting the tip of her pen and thinking hard.

"Have you finished your homework? Let me have a look."

"Ah, it's still a little bit... ah! Sorry!"

Moira panicked and stood up to attention, but accidentally knocked over her own ink bottle, causing a mess.

This made Serena show a rare smile.

They had been trapped in Crow Harbor for more than a month.

The reason is quite simple - the mudslides caused by the heavy rain washed away the straight road going north, and the soaring river made the waterway unsafe.

Therefore, during this period of time, Serena and the others could only stay in this small town called "the southernmost tip of human civilization", living a life like a holiday.

Have to say, it wasn't a fun experience.

There are not many nobles in Raven Harbor, so banquets and dances are rare.

As for the church stationed here, there are only a few elderly priests barely maintaining the scene, which also makes Serena and the others unable to find any peers to communicate with.

Although Serena can still conduct free medical consultations in the name of the saint, but in this place, human beings seem to have become indifferent due to the excessively rich products and slow-paced life.

Neither disease nor life and death seemed to be enough to move the people who lived here.

Most of the people just lived and died randomly. It seems that something as grand as the saint's free clinic cannot enter the eyes of the people here.

In short, within a few days, Serena lost interest and became bored.

Of course, she can also tease her assistant and play cats.

But now Phyllis seems to have resigned to her fate, and it's not so interesting to flirt;

Moira is so obsessed with studying that Serena is too embarrassed to disturb her;

After all, Elaine is not a real cat, and she keeps hugging and pawing, even Serena, who is thick-skinned, feels sorry for it.

As for Meredith...

Serena can only say, sorry, I am not a necrophilia.

After all, Meredith is an old ghost, and her research on magic is not inferior to that of Serena, a young devil.

At some point, this vampire found a way to bypass the interference of the magic pattern, and was able to cut off the connection between his upper body and lower body with a method that Serena couldn't understand.

Now, even with such a stimulating little mechanism, Meredith can put on a dead fish face if she is prepared.

Even if her lower body trembles like a fresh fish about to be slaughtered, her upper half can quietly play the role of a corpse.

If there are too many times, it will be too boring.

In contrast, discussing the history of this place, the rise and fall of the race with Meredith is more to Serena's appetite.

In terms of music and art, Meredith is more than enough to be Serena's teacher.

Therefore, during this time, Serena actually spent half of her time studying.

But for a salted fish determined to lie flat, learning and so on will only have 3 minutes of enthusiasm.

No, she soon, like other traveler seniors, created the card game, the source of evil, and dragged everyone into the water.

Then, it's time to witness how bad the saint's luck can be.

"Forget it, don't wipe it."

A few minutes later, Serena looked at Moira who was trying to wipe off the ink marks on the floor, and waved her hand boredly.

"Get up and go out with me for a walk. Walking in the rain or something is quite romantic once in a while."

Seeing that Your Excellency the Holy Maiden said so, the other people present looked at each other and stood up to prepare.

After a while, a few people held umbrellas and walked in the rain.

"It's really scary here in a sense."

Phyllis complained in a low voice as she walked.

"Day after day, the scene on the street doesn't change at all, vendors don't care about their business, even thieves are lazy..."

While Phyllis was chattering, Serena suddenly saw several panicked figures appearing on the avenue ahead.

"What's going on here?"

This unusual sight naturally attracted the attention of several other people.

After several people looked at each other, they all quickened their pace and greeted them.

When the figures were close in front of them, they finally saw clearly the clothes on these people.

"Are you soldiers of the Mustang Legion?"

Phyllis, who was most familiar with these, was the first to exclaim.

And the soldiers in front of them didn't even pay attention to Phyllis, just ran forward on their own.

Serena frowned, reached out and grabbed a soldier, and asked loudly.

"What's going on? Why are you here? Why are you in such a panic?"

Seeing that the soldier's eyes were still blank, Serena had no choice but to perform a magic spell to appease the guy's spirit.

"We lost, we failed!"

Then, they heard such disturbing news from the soldiers.

"What the hell is going on? How did you lose? Who are you fighting with!"

A few minutes later, Serena and the others finally figured out the situation.

It turned out that the thousand-man team commanded by Andy had already arrived in the southern region a week ago and started the punitive action against the half-orc tribe.

Everything was going well.

Regardless of the quality of personnel, weapons and equipment, and supply capabilities, the regular army is far superior to the stragglers of the half-orcs. This is why Andy, a young man, can be assured of such a task of leading a team.

But just one day ago, the situation suddenly reversed.

"...It's magic! Well-organized magician troops ambushed us!"

"Our array was completely shattered. The equipment used to deal with orcs is completely unsuitable for fighting against the legion led by the magician."

"Lord Andy ordered everyone to disperse and retreat. But what choice do we have? The nearest human settlement is here. We can only abandon our heavy equipment and run desperately, desperately..."

"The enemy has been behind us. Orcs keep jumping out of the bushes. Our efforts have all failed. We can no longer hold the formation..."

"It's over, everything is over. This place will fall soon. Everyone, it's over..."

Serena left the distraught soldier and looked at the people around her.

Now, everyone's faces were as pale as Meredith's.

Obviously, these people are just some of the fastest runners in the defeated army.

It won't be long before more defeated soldiers and their pursuers will come here, igniting this peaceful town with flames of war.

And at this moment, Yagang was completely unaware of this, and the gates of the city were still wide open!

"Phyllis, go and inform Baron Dewar to prepare for the siege."

"The others come with me. We must close the city gate first, and then pull a few people up the city wall."

Chapter 33 If you want to survive, follow orders!

When Serena and her party arrived at the city gate, more defeated soldiers had already appeared outside the gate.

But the soldiers who were supposed to be guarding here were nowhere to be seen.

"Really, there should be a limit to laxity, right? Did these guys miss work because of the rain?"

Moira complained angrily.

"No, I'm afraid they saw that the situation was not good, so they fled back to their home first."

Meredith pointed to the ground near the gate.

Sure enough, a few spears were abandoned there casually, letting the rain flow by.

"We must take over here immediately, reorganize the defense, and close the city gate before the orc warriors appear here!"

Serena, who had been commanding the army in battle, immediately issued instructions in a stern tone.

Meredith nodded, picked up a spear with quick movements, and threw one to Serena casually.

"Elaine should also use this, right?"

Serena caught the spear casually and looked at Catwoman at the same time.

"Well, but..."

Before Elaine could say her but, another spear was thrown over.

Elaine grasped the spear nimbly, and continued.

"If there were half-orc warriors, I might be able to convince them..."

Her words were interrupted again.

"Don't be stupid, look at the surrounding situation, look at your attire, it's useless for you to say anything at this time. Save your life first!"
