Great Nobleman

When the sun gradually sets and dusk is approaching.

Brand follows the map and leads everyone to a small town.

Seeing such a large golden bird approaching.

The soldiers on guard all shouted nervously to alert people.

But the next moment, the phoenix disappeared in the flying.

Replaced.

Brand took Catherine and the library people and slowly landed at the city gate.

Under the effect of the spell, his voice was clearly heard by the defenders:

"Kaya Empire, North Holland Family, Library Mage Corps is invited to go north to help."

After hearing this, he was stunned for a moment.

The garrison captain suddenly recalled a message that was just sent to him this afternoon.

Although he was shocked, he immediately gave a loud order:

"Open the city gate! Welcome our guests!"

...

At night.

The northern front of the Kingdom of Mosal.

After a whole day of hard fighting.

The defeated army that lost the fortress and fortifications tiredly went south along the road.

Finally, they entered a large fortress called [Steel Shield Castle] to rest temporarily.

After arranging for his subordinates to settle down and swallowing the food hastily.

The old marshal of the Northern Army and many noble families who went north to participate in the war gathered together without stopping.

They gathered information, checked the war damage, and discussed the next delaying action with a solemn look.

Finally, looking at the map in front of them, the existing troops, material supplies, inventory statistics of war weapons, and the movements of the orcs...

Under the extremely severe reality.

A middle-aged noble suddenly said angrily:

"Damn it! According to the current situation, the entire northern defense line will be completely broken by the orcs in a few days!

And what are those cowards in the south doing now?

Waiting for all of us to die in battle, most of the country to be lost, and the national strength to decline.

Waiting to be held in the hands of the Bruns Empire and let it flatten and twist it?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became a little depressed!

- Although these words are a bit extreme, they are also what many people think in their hearts!

——They were unwilling to give up the many territories and towns north of the capital, so they led their troops north, while the nobles in the south did the opposite!

Of course, no matter what.

With the enemy in front of them, they could not lose their composure.

So the old marshal quickly comforted:

"It's not the last moment yet, don't give up easily.

Yesterday, the first batch of strong reinforcements from the Kaya Empire had already arrived in the royal city using the teleportation array, you should have heard about it.

According to the news from His Majesty the King, more strong men from the Kaya Empire will be teleported in the next few days.

The reinforcements they sent by land will also arrive at the southeastern border of our kingdom in the next few days.

At the latest, they will go north to the front line and join us in a week.

So there is a chance of turning around!

It's just that we need to survive the most difficult time!

In addition, it doesn't matter even if we don't survive.

At worst, we can fight and retreat, and finally defend the royal city!

It doesn't matter if the territory is lost, at worst, we can take it back!

We certainly have differences with the nobles in the south on local strategies.

But in the general direction of the entire kingdom, our goals are extremely consistent!"

Hearing this, the atmosphere on the scene quickly eased a little.

Of course, they all knew:

The reinforcements from the Bruns Empire have also arrived in the royal city.

But they all tacitly didn't mention it.

After all, if something is exposed.

Whether the reinforcements from the Bruns Empire are "reinforcements" or not is still a question!

Seeing that everyone has calmed down a lot, the old marshal is about to discuss tomorrow's arrangements.

But just at this moment, a soldier ran into the meeting room and brought an urgent intelligence.

When the old marshal opened the intelligence under the gaze of everyone.

His expression was visibly excited.

Then, he passed the intelligence and said with a smile:

"His Majesty the King used the magic communication device to send a message:

The first batch of reinforcements from the Kaya Empire has arrived at the border town not far behind us.

They are about to ask us about the latest battle situation, the movements of the orcs, and our battle plan for tomorrow morning."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's mood was also lifted!

- Although they didn't know the strength of the reinforcements, they did see a ray of light that broke through the long night!

...

The next morning, it was dawn.

After checking the equipment, potions, and spell scrolls for the last time.

Brand led everyone to wave goodbye to the defenders of this border town.

The next moment, the golden phoenix soared up and then flew quickly to the north.

As he moved forward along the map.

Brand also spoke:

"The Northern Legion of the Kingdom of Mosal lost a lot of fortresses and strongholds yesterday, and the situation in various areas is very bad.

So everyone should be mentally prepared, our battle today may be longer."

At about the same time.

[Steel Shield Fort] Operations Meeting Room.

The old marshal received the intelligence sent by the scout:

The orc army has moved south, and the main force is approaching [Steel Shield Fort]!

Without any hesitation, the old marshal passed the news with a heavy heart.

Then he went out to personally inspect the defenses of various parts of the fortress.

Since the defeat of [Heavy Rock Castle], which lost many top war weapons and many trump cards.

They have lost the ability to directly resist the attack of the orc army.

The orc army is attacking cities every day.

The only thing they can do now is to delay time.

Now that they have seen hope, the old marshal just wants to do his best to do this.

——But their reinforcements don't think so!

After the communication last night, the young mage leader named Brand Holland rejected their battle plan, recklessly wanted to take the initiative to attack the orc army, and asked them to cooperate according to the situation.

——It must be said that young people are full of energy!

The old marshal admitted that the advanced military forces of the Kaya Empire must be much stronger than them.

But wouldn't it be better to delay for a few more days, wait for more reinforcements to arrive, and then take such action when they are stronger and more confident?

Why do they have to be brave for a moment?

——But there is no way, they don't have the command of this advanced military force.

So he could only rack his brains to coordinate the troops to see if he could find an opportunity to cooperate and assist, or try to rescue the other party when they were in danger.

Unknowingly, the old marshal patrolled all the way to the outer perimeter of the fortress, an area with dense spires.

—— Twelve small knight groups full of iron and blood are ready here.

As one of the countries located in the northern border of the human alliance, responsible for resisting the orcs from the south.

The Kingdom of Mosal is at the top of the many kingdoms in the human alliance.

So they also have such power as advanced military armed forces.

Of course, whether in quantity or quality, they can't be compared with the advanced military armed forces of the four empires of the human alliance.

However, despite this, these twelve advanced military armed forces are also the pride of the entire northern noble alliance of their Kingdom of Mosal, and have repeatedly restrained the top powerhouses of the orcs.

After some encouragement, the old marshal came to the north side of the fortress to wait.

Not long after, the plains north of the fortress were filled with smoke and dust, and the orc army approached.

After some observation, the old marshal was about to give an order to let everyone prepare for battle.

But at this moment, a strong breath suddenly approached from a distance in the sky on the right, and the whole land and sky became bright!

When the old marshal looked over, he saw the golden phoenix in the intelligence last night flying over at a high speed.

The brilliant and terrifying breath suddenly roared down from a certain moment, drawing a long path of destruction on the ground and sweeping towards the orc army!
