Great Nobleman

Through the smoke and ashes that are rising under the high temperature and heat wave.

Mr. Cecil vaguely saw a vast boiling lava lake.

The charred and melted ruins of the fortress are like an isolated island!

It can be seen from some scattered building remains in the ruins:

That should be an orc fortress that was destroyed not long ago!

After realizing this fact.

Mr. Cecil quickly guessed:

This fortress should have been baptized by the high temperature of a "volcanic eruption".

A lava lake so big below should be a "crater"!

The ground shaking they felt before should be a side effect of the eruption of the volcano below!

After coming to this conclusion.

Mr. Cecil began to think again about why this fortress was built in the "crater" location?

Could it be that this place, like the Furnace Volcano, is a military forging place for the Tauren clan?

As soon as this idea came up, Mr. Cecil quickly rejected it.

——How can the military casting place be placed on the front line?

Then, he speculated that this might be the orcs' plan.

The orcs may want to detonate the volcano when nothing can be done, and deal a natural disaster to the invading enemies!

but.

How did this fortress become what it is now?

Their army was clearly still at Spruce Castle, and Brand and the library were only there to gather information.

When the volcano erupts, are there not a few big orcs in this fortress to prevent the volcano from erupting and destroying the fortress?

Or maybe Brand did something to make those big orcs have no time to care?

After a quick brainstorming session, I finally came up with a bunch of questions.

Mr. Cecil took out a map and started looking for volcanoes around here.

At this moment, through the screen of the empty screen, it was discovered that Mr. Cecil was leading a group of mages to move quickly.

Brand asked:

“Have our scouts reached the banks of the Yone?

Uncle Cecil is heading my way now? "

While looking at the map, Mr. Cecil responded:

"Yes, it's what you think!

Now tell me about the situation there.

The orc fortress closest to Spruce Castle doesn't seem to be inside the crater, right?

There aren't even volcanoes around there!

So the orcs specially modified the terrain and camouflaged the crater so that outsiders couldn't tell it was a crater?

Or maybe this is not that fortress and you went somewhere else? "

At the end of the sentence, Mr. Cecil raised his head and looked at Brand, who was facing the light curtain.

What makes him a little strange is:

The same look of confusion appeared on Brand's face!

Immediately afterwards, Brand looked back at the large lava lake below that was shrouded in smoke and could not be seen clearly.

He shook his head and explained:

"The lava lake below is not a lava lake formed by a volcanic eruption. It was caused by us using a special attack method.

In addition, below is the orc fortress that we were planning to attack in two days.

We originally just wanted to test the quality of this fortress, but unexpectedly we just dumped it!

But what is more regrettable is:

The big orcs in the fortress survived by relying on the defense facilities of the fortress, and then ran away with some orcs! "

After hearing Brand's explanation, Mr. Cecil frowned unconsciously.

Was such a large lava field caused by the attack on the library?

That ruin in the middle of the lava lake is the fortress they will attack?

real or fake?

in addition……

——What does it mean to try their quality? And then just take down the fortress?

——Is the library already so powerful?

Just as Mr. Cecil's thoughts fell into chaos.

Brand added:

“I contacted Uncle Cecil mainly to ask what should be done next?

Although many orcs ran away, this fortress can be considered to have been taken down by our library, right?

According to previous intelligence, this should be a medium-sized orc fortress with extremely powerful defense capabilities and numerous garrison troops..."

Speaking of this, Brand suddenly paused for a moment.

Then, he suddenly continued with a righteous expression:

“There are even several top powerhouses above the big orcs and adult Beamon stationed in it!

They want to stop our Northern Expedition!

Our library, on the other hand, seized the opportunity when these superpowers went out to party and launched a fearless charge against this fortress!

After an extremely arduous battle, this orc super fortress was destroyed in one fell swoop by us using our supreme trump card!

Only a few powerful orcs escaped from here while we were catching our breath!

This is an extremely brilliant victory! "

At the end of the sentence, Brand began to feel uplifted unconsciously.

Mr. Cecil, on the other hand, looked confused and confused.

After sorting through the known information, he asked hesitantly:

"Let's not talk about anything else. This top orc is going out to party with adult Beamon..."

Halfway through his words, Brand, who was on the opposite side of the light screen, seemed to suddenly think of something important and interrupted:

"By the way! The Chesil Mage Group also made important contributions in the process of gathering intelligence!"

Hearing this, Mr. Cecil subconsciously felt a sense of approval!

——They did get "a lot of useful information" during their outing this time!

After the detailed process of this outing flashed in my mind.

Mr. Cecil suddenly coughed heavily.

Then, he said with a troubled face:

"Anyway, let's wait until I arrive at your place first!"

…

Spruce Castle, the combat conference room of the Pioneer Legion.

Several elders were looking at the war map and chatting.

At this point in time, on the war map of the entire northern border of the empire, the main coalition forces in the three regions of east, west, and center are slowly moving northward.

Large swaths of blue stars representing the imperial legion and the noble pioneering legion were mixed in.

——A war is brewing!

Looking at the picture on the empty screen in front of him, Mr. Mesa shared the latest information with everyone:

"Since His Majesty the Emperor issued a declaration of war this morning, the main forces of the various coalition forces have begun to move north.

Although war was declared in advance, some things were done hastily.

But at the latest the day after tomorrow, our main force will officially cross the border and launch an attack on the orcs! "

After hearing this, while wiping the lance in his hand, Mr. Holland suggested:

"If this is the case, we will also launch an attack the day after tomorrow, right?

The north side is just a medium-sized fortress, and its location is not special.

If there weren't someone stronger than the big orcs, I don't think we would have expended much effort. "

While eating berries, Master Claude nodded and responded:

“I think it’s okay!

In the early stages of the war, being appropriately aggressive will help improve and maintain morale!

If we act quickly, we might even become the first pioneering army to attack the city. "
