Throne of the North

In the mountains, on the slopes, the sound of dead branches being stepped on was piercing, and humans rushed out from the shadows around and attacked the orcs.

"Kill them! Take back the land of the Viscount!"

The knight roared, his eyes bloodshot, and he didn't know how long he hadn't slept. The knight's long sword in his hand chopped at the black goat man.

After more than ten minutes of fighting, the seven or eight black goat men who appeared here were killed. Of course, two human corpses were left on the ground, and the rest of the people were also injured.

"These damn orcs, why can't they be killed?"

One person panted and said, the life and death of the war brought ordinary people and knights closer, and couldn't help asking.

This is the territory of Viscount Rhodes, but it is not surprising that because it is too close to Hanshan City and Jinmaishui City, this Viscount's territory was also invaded by orcs. At the beginning, when a large number of orcs appeared, the Viscount's territory had no ability to resist at all.

Later, after the nobles' reinforcements, especially the dragon blood warriors of Earl Sauron, came through, the number of orcs decreased, but it was still a heavy pressure for the Viscount.

More than once, Viscount Rhodes was suppressed and hid in his castle. Every time he wanted to rush out to rob food and land, he would be beaten back. There were many orcs wandering here.

Finally, the Viscount had to summon all the soldiers, take out his treasured swords and armor, and promise that a knight with outstanding performance could marry a daughter of the Rhodes family and obtain the title of lord.

Not only did he draw cakes, but he also took out a lot of food and gave money. He learned this from Ryan. Each soldier was given two silver coins. Killing five orcs would get a silver coin reward, which made the soldiers crazy.

In this situation, the war in the territory was finally stabilized. Humans and orcs went back and forth, and the Viscount finally didn't have to hide in the castle in fear.

"The nobles' reinforcements will not come. Lord Sauron's dragonblood warrior army has come once. They will only appear in other noble territories, and it seems that they are also held back by the orc army."

"My family, the honor and dignity of Rhodes, can only be maintained by Rhodes' blood."

In the castle, with the arrival of the war, the viscount finally woke up from his enjoyment and said to his wife.

"I will lead the army to take back the land belonging to the Rhodes family. Those damn orcs dare to plunder my wealth, and they must use death to atone for their sins."

Viscount Rhodes said firmly, and his voice, which was originally a little frightened, gradually became louder. He himself believed his words and put them into action.

Nobles receive education, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that nobles have never been one person or one family, but an entire family.

When Viscount Rhodes made a decision and was extremely firm, the entire Rhodes family, the viscount's brothers, descendants, uncles and elders, and those knights who got the surname Rhodes, will act around his will.

This is a huge number for the Viscount's territory, because these "Rods" also have slaves around them.

At this time, Viscount Rod suddenly realized that he was so powerful.

"Kill those orcs and take back Rod's land. The honor of the family cannot be desecrated by evil orcs!"

Viscount Rod was excited. He was excited. Any noble yearned for the battlefield. He commanded the army of his territory to attack the orcs continuously.

Maybe his command was not good, but as soldiers and knights in action, they had to consider their own lives.

Somehow, they prevented the large-scale gathering of orcs. One or two thousand orcs did not form a scale to attack the Viscount's castle, and were killed by humans in various geographical locations.

Viscount Rod regained his farmland, and this achievement made him extremely excited.

"The mine, the next is the mine. There won't be too many orcs there. We will easily recapture it."

The soldiers moved towards the mine. Indeed, there were no orcs here. Orcs looked down on metal lumps.

Viscount Rhodes continued to give orders, and the number of soldiers under his command strangely increased. It was unknown whether they were the people from his own territory who had fled or the people of other nobles who had fled here. Anyway, they were all his people now.

When Viscount Rhodes announced that he had completely recovered his land and wealth, it was not himself who was shocked, but the other nobles around him.

They asked Viscount Rhodes for support. Viscount Rhodes, who was immersed in victory, joy and glory, was particularly generous and sent his soldiers to support the nobles around him, bringing his joy at the same time.

"The glory of Rhodes once bloomed in blood and fire. We will practice the glory of our ancestors!"

Viscount Rhodes felt that his name needed to be more prominent in the family tree, because he really did what his father and grandfather could not do.

Even this excitement made him not stay in the maid's arms for several days, but walked in the army to feel the awe-inspiring eyes and the majesty of the Rhodes family.

Compared to this, those women were simply weak.

Viscount Rhodes was the first to do it, and when the second noble, and the third noble, began to talk about the glory and past of their families, the nobles of the North Wind Province were completely excited.

If there is a choice, no one wants to be just a parasite. At this moment, the opportunity is right in front of them. No matter whether they are capable or incapable, the nobles only see the glory of the nobles in themselves. They are completely excited to eliminate the nobles in the territory and let a war that can be recorded in the book appear under their command.

Let their names shine together with the dazzling names of their ancestors in the family.

Do the nobles want it? They want it, not to mention the nobles, even the slaves want it, this is their chance to get rid of their slave status.

Some nobles died in incompetence, but people are the same. They only see those successful people, especially when there are many successful people, so they think they are one of them.

And if someone can see the situation of the entire North Wind Province, they can understand that this is actually the awakening of the nobles under the general trend. The real key is that the noble army from Yinchuan County and the large number of troops under the two earls poured into the battlefield, blocking the large number of orc legions, which led to the general success of the small nobles below.

The two earls were strong, and Yinchuan County was far away from the war, so the orcs did not reach their doorsteps at all, so the nobles had the strength to support these nobles.

The orcs, who were not organized and disciplined, faced the assembled human army, and although they would still cause casualties to humans, from a macro-numerical perspective, the nobles were fighting back.

"Take back the land, take back the food!"

The slogans were loud, and the army stepped on the corpses to advance. Gradually, the orcs began to find in horror that there were fewer orc companions around, and humans began to hide.

The orcs finally realized that something was wrong. They were now well-fed and well-drinked, and they were not as wild as when they were hungry. Just like the southward march a few years ago, when they robbed enough food and tools, the orcs' aggressiveness would be epically weakened. The well-fed and lazy orcs did not have much combat power.

Humans were also surprised to find that the orcs were not that scary.

The orcs began to be suppressed. Under the counterattack of the human army, they began to retreat, carrying pots and pans, and carrying food sacks, and were about to retreat to the north where they originally lived.

In the Xiangshan Plain, tens of thousands of soldiers were stationed in the fortress. This was what the nobles had to gather. Facing the arrival of the orcs, they resisted nervously, and then found that the orcs could not break through the fortress where they were.

This time, it was the orcs' turn to be afraid. They walked towards the mountains and forests on both sides, but it was impossible to advance on a large scale in the mountains and forests.

The orcs only felt that there were enemies on all sides. There were powerful black goat people who organized some orc legions, and tens of thousands of orcs launched an attack on the human army.

They won the first victory, but found that when the war broke out, the surrounding human army had surrounded and supported them. The orcs also had another problem here. They couldn't count, didn't know the number of humans, and only felt that they were densely packed in front of them.

This was enough to scare them. They couldn't face their own numbers and couldn't judge the number of enemies. So should they fight or run?

Looking at the good things on their backs, the orcs chose the latter.

A large number of orcs were killed and captured, a small number of orcs fled to the wilderness, and only some orcs who still had a sense of direction fled to the direction of the north.

The nobles were immersed in joy. Although there were still scattered orcs living around the territory and wandering on their land, it did not prevent the nobles from holding a banquet.

However, within two days, the nobles found that the champagne was opened too early.

They did defeat the orcs and regain their land, but the price was terrible.

The territory was sparsely populated, with broken houses everywhere. The ruined territory made the nobles unable to raise any mood. After the joy of victory in the war faded away, they began to tremble at the number of casualties.

Perhaps, with more deaths and a large reduction in food, this winter... can the survivors survive?

This is a cold joke. Without population, the expressions of the nobles also became gloomy.

When they learned that other nobles also suffered heavy losses, and the loss of population and food was huge, they felt much more balanced.

"The Xiangshan Plain Fortress must not be lost again."

The nobles realized this, and at the same time they were even more angry that the previous army had lost the fortress. If it hadn't been for the loss of the fortress, how could their territory have fallen to such a point!

Responsibilities need to be taken, and anger needs to be vented, but the nobles can't find a target to vent. The Xiangshan Plain Fortress fell, and most of the people in charge have become corpses.

"I will personally inspect the Xiangshan Plain!"

It was still Viscount Landa. He was unlucky. His territory and city were patronized by orcs. Most of the nobles around him died, and he could only rely on selling pity in the empire to maintain his status.

This time, the decision he made surprised the nobles. Why did Viscount Landa get closer to the orcs the more he was defeated?

However, the nobles did not object. The nobles took the initiative to bear this burden, which saved their energy and effort.

And Viscount Landa also had his own considerations. Baron Ryan wrote him a letter, telling him that there was a lot of wealth hidden in the Xiangshan Plain, and his chance to restore his family might be there.

However, Baron Ryan did not tell him what it was, he only mentioned the spices.

Viscount Spice Landa also knew that they had relied on this wealth to make profits before, but he didn't understand what the relationship between the large amount of wealth mentioned by Ryan was.

But he has no choice now. Too many people have died in Hanshan City. There are not many people under his command, so he needs to find other directions.

Ryan didn't have time to pay attention to the news from the nobles. After returning to the Tundra Territory, countless things came to him, and the most troublesome thing was that the werewolves of the 'Gage' clan began to enter the forest he circled on a large scale. range.

Tens of thousands of werewolves, that's tens of thousands of werewolves. Each werewolf is an elite warrior. Their sharp claws, agile limbs, ferocious heads and terrifying fangs, and even the thick hair on their bodies can... Humanity poses a dire threat.

The Tundra Territory faced such a huge enemy alone. Ryan had already appeared on the front line, and soldiers around him were born one by one. With his blessing, a group of strong soldiers would appear in just fifteen days. Human soldiers, they have the physique of a trainee knight, and can lift more than a hundred kilograms of stone above their heads for tens of seconds.

The key is that the Knight's Breathing Technique will let them understand it with the blessing, saving the time of learning and groping, just like instinct.

In the following days, these fledgling soldiers may have the seeds of life born in their bodies at any time and move towards official knights.

Ryan helped them get started, and what followed was persistence and patience, as well as the intake of life energy.

Ryan has almost seen the resource gap that he will urgently need after the war is over, but if the immediate threat cannot be eliminated, what will he use to discuss the future.

"We must build a good defense line for the military fortress."

Ryan said this, and the soldiers left his side and headed to the front line to fight with the werewolves in the rugged environment.

"These damn humans must be stopped from building their defenses."

Weiss, the leader of Garg, said with cruel eyes. He had scars on his body. Originally, he wanted to use his powerful power to defeat these humans just like he had broken the human city before, but he didn't understand why such a place would appear like him. Powerful sanctuary combat capability.

The key thing is that he was injured by the other party. If it weren't for the help of other werewolves in the Jiage clan, he might have left more things in front of the human alchemist.

Since it cannot be crushed, all we can rely on is the wisdom of the soldiers on both sides and the commanders.

There was cunning in Weiss's eyes, and he thought of a way to deal with those humans.

How do wolves hunt prey?

They can't compare with cows in strength, speed with cheetahs, or lethality with tigers and lions, but in the food chain, wolves are often the ones who won't go hungry.

They hunt in wolf packs and hunt their prey in the unique hunting style of wolves.

…

"Be careful, the werewolf is coming!"

Fenrir's people shouted, and then ran out with spears in hand. Soon, they were fighting with a werewolf in the mud. Their claws scratched his hide, and the spears also stabbed the werewolf. He was injured, and the blood stained the muddy water under his feet. The surrounding construction workers panicked and hid in the ravine.

Soon, the werewolves disappeared one after another, and the fighting Fenrir hunters did not pursue them. In such a rugged environment, the werewolves were as good at hunting and sneak attacks as they were.

After being blessed, the difference between Fenrir's hunters and werewolves is who is more proactive and has the upper hand.

"They didn't leave."

A Fenrir hunter stroked the white wolf next to him. The hair on the latter's neck was still taut, telling him that the werewolf had not left.

Half an hour later, the werewolf quietly appeared again and bit at several construction workers. The hunter quickly rushed over and fought with the werewolf again.

This time, the werewolf left a corpse behind, but they still did not give up. They hid around and stared fiercely.

Now everyone knew that the werewolf was watching. Not only the hearts of the construction workers tensed up, but also the hunters did not dare to relax.

The werewolf's way of not going far away and not attacking is familiar to the people of Fenrir who have been dealing with wolves and hunting all their lives.

"This is the hunting method they are good at. They continuously inflict wounds on the prey, and then force the prey to be unable to escape. Until the prey becomes weak, the wolves will swarm up and bite the weak prey to death."

"They're trying little by little, watching when we're weak enough to kill us with one bite."

Fenrir's people are patient, but there's one problem: this isn't a pure hunt.

They are the defensive side, while the wolves are the offensive side. The hunters cannot move or set traps, and can only passively fight with the werewolves.

Because they had to guard these builders and alchemists to build strong military fortresses.

"Ask for support."

On the other side of the foothills, Bogeld received news that required her support in more than one place.

The constant calls for help made the arrogant girl a little irritable, and at a certain moment she threw away all the news.

"These disgusting werewolves, brothers, charge with me and kill them all!"

The girl with cold and ruthless eyes screamed angrily, and rushed towards the north with the violent war bear army. She didn't want to save those battles that could be solved with just a few armored bears. She wanted to kill thousands of them. Werewolf.

Thousands of armored bears are the toughest bone to chew for werewolves. Hearing the roar of the armored bears, the werewolf leader Weiss couldn't help but have a headache.
