The war in the southern continent, like a sudden storm, broke out suddenly without anyone expecting it.

In other words, no one expected Sean's determination - perhaps this statement is not true, it should mean that most people did not expect Sean to really have the determination to go to war, even most of the nobles of the fascist kingdom. The only ones ready for war were the Wyles family and some of the garrison nobles on the border of the fascist kingdom.

As for the others, with the exception of the other three regions outside of the Savage Lands that the surrounding kingdoms were all showing signs of being on the verge of moving, many believed that Sean's war posture would eventually be abandoned as a result. After all, with the retreat of the Equiri Kingdom, the Erlisen region has completely fallen into the hands of the Void Duchy, along with the Millennium Covenant Zone, which most people have not yet known and inexplicably fallen into Sean's hands, and the Great Rift Valley Zone, which has been occupied from the beginning, Sean now controls the normal import and export of the three wild lands.

Many lords, nobles, and even powerful ministers and those sitting on thrones did not think that the Void Duchy would start a war at this time.

Stabilizing the rear first is the top priority.

But this is not the case.

After William led his army to occupy the Erlisen Zone, leaving a force to garrison and build fortifications here, William directly sent the vanguard army to cooperate with the shortcut route left by the Void Realm and directly killed the fascist kingdom.

This vanguard army is composed of leopard people, werewolves, and centaurs as the main fighting force, and a small number of cat people, rabbit people, and highland elves as the cooperation.

The size of the army was not large, only about 30,000 people. Among them, there are about 15,000 centaurs, 5,000 cat people, highland elves, and rabbit people, and 10,000 leopards and werewolves. Except for the Highland Elves and Cat People. Whether it is a centaur or a werewolf, the leopard people are all proficient in the race of rush combat: in the short-distance rush battle, the leopard people have a unique combat advantage, their rapid reaction ability and combat response are one of the strongest groups in the orc race; In terms of long-distance running, werewolves have a greater advantage than leopard people, coupled with strong enough strength and good reflexes, this group has always been one of the strongest war races in the orc race.

As for the centaurs, these guys are well-deserved bugs.

Strong arm strength. The ability to move like the wind, the ability to strike accurately in medium and long ranges, and the ability to endure for a long time. All of these conditions have made the centaur tribe always on the list of the strongest groups of the orc tribe all year round. If you can't kill the centaur army in a sudden attack, once you are pulled away enough, not to mention orcs like werewolves and leopard people, even races like lion people and tiger people that can be compared to centaurs will not want to go to war with centaurs.

That's just one-sided torture!

Fortunately. The Centaurs' extremely low fertility limits the development of this tribe - all the tribes of the Savage Lands are united. The number of centaurs does not exceed 200,000, and only 100,000 of them can actually go to war.

This time, William brought 50,000 centaur warriors, and in the vanguard army alone, there were 15,000 centaurs, so you can imagine how strong the real combat power of this vanguard force is. For this reason, William also had to assign 1,000 Catwomen and 1,000 Rabbit Girls and 3,000 Highland Elves to join the vanguard army, and be responsible for the melee safety of the Centaur clan - the centaurs have strong arms. But their melee combat is nothing short of disastrous.

Catwoman, that is, the cat people. It was a matriarchal society, and basically all the people who could act as warriors were women. Although they have very low personal combat ability, Catwoman is usually used as a guard and patrol class, and it is difficult for enemy troops to launch surprise and night attacks in the presence of Catwoman, because they can smell smells from several kilometers away, and are especially sensitive to human odors.

And the Rabbit Woman, or commonly known as the Rabbit Girl, is the same social group as the Catwoman. However, compared to Catwoman, they have no sense of combat and combat ability at all, and they are not even qualified to serve as patrol troops, but in the orc army, Rabbit Girl has always been with Catwoman as a vigilant partner, with Catwoman can smell the smell of a few kilometers away, and the Rabbit Girl can hear movements a few kilometers away, and can prevent sneak attacks from all tactics.

As for the highland elves, they are best at swordsmanship, so they act as personal protectors of the centaur troops, preventing them from being dragged into the quagmire of melee combat. Although the scale of three thousand is very small, as long as it is not besieged by a large army, three thousand highland elves are enough to block a round of charge of about ten thousand human warriors, giving the centaur troops enough time to open up the distance.

Once you've been pulled away enough by the centaur troops, it's a bloody feast.

This vanguard army is not only well-matched, not only has excellent short-distance running and long-distance running and chasing capabilities, but also has extremely comprehensive medium and long-range strike methods, and also has sufficient response standards in the ability to prevent sneak attacks, night attacks and close combat.

William has already fully brought into full play the excellent ability of the race in the Savage Lands - this is still the level of less than half a month after he took over the 300,000 Savage Land troops, if William is given more time to train and understand the troops of these Savage Lands, then the strength he can exert will probably be even more terrifying. After all, in terms of tactics and adaptability, William can definitely rank in the top five of the top ten.

When this vanguard force officially entered the border of the fascist kingdom after three days and two nights, it also meant that a real bloody storm had arrived.

……

Van Gesburg was a fortress of the Fascist Kingdom on the edge of the Rios Forest, and was also the first border guard point on the border with the Duchy of Ökiri. Under normal circumstances, the fascist kingdom will also enter the wilderness through the Erisian region, and will make the final supply in this border fortress, and once the slave catcher team belonging to the fascist kingdom leaves the Erisian region and returns to the fascist kingdom, they will also carry out subsequent supplies here, so it can be said that this fortress is the last and initial supply station for the fascist kingdom to go to the wilderness, even if it is a team going to the Principality of Erkiri. They will also rest here.

Therefore, the importance of Van Gesberg can be imagined.

A fourth-class army of up to 50,000 is stationed here all year round. In addition to the day-to-day border patrol work, there are other tasks such as protection, sweeping, defending against enemies, and so on. And if it is an invasion war, the invading side must also take this fortress to ensure the safety of the logistics line.

Therefore, this fortress naturally became the front line used by the fascist kingdom to defend against the army of the Void Duchy.

Facing the vanguard of 30,000 orc troops, the defenders of Fangersburg naturally received the news at the first time and prepared for defense.

But. What the defenders of Van Gesberg did not expect was that the vanguard army sent by William had no intention of attacking the fortress at all.

Lu Xiu'an, who served as the commander of the Vanguard Army. Bloody Hoof, the choice to bypass this fortress - the location of the fortress is very important. It's like a nail nailed to a necessary route. However, this does not mean that the fortress cannot be bypassed, and the value of the fortress is greatly diminished without regard for logistical security and harassment.

If William arrives with a large army, then this fortress is naturally in an important strategic position that must be conquered. Even to wipe the entire fortress off the map. Because of this. Therefore, the high-level order from the military headquarters of the fascist kingdom was to let the defenders of Fangesburg hold on to wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the rear, and never let Fangersburg fall under the vanguard army of the Void Duchy.

It's just that the generals of the military headquarters of the fascist kingdom obviously didn't realize that the form of the war had changed significantly this time.

"Lu Xiu'an, what are we going to do?" Sit in Luxiuan. Bloody hooves on their backs. is a Highland Elf who is the deputy commander of this vanguard force. Sagchi Lottel. Snow Wind, from the surname, it is not difficult to see that he was born in the Snow Wind Tribe, but few people know him and the current Eye of the Storm Tribal Patriarch Saloki. Xue Feng also has some indirect blood relationship, "Why do you want to bypass that fortress?" ”

"Master William said that our strength is simply not enough to take that fortress, so there is no need to ask for trouble." Lu Xiuan. "Our mission is to get around this fortress and plunder everything we can see, including villages, towns, outposts, camps, etc., but we must retreat far from human settlements such as cities, fortresses, and fortresses. ”

"Hey! I love this work! "It used to be the damned humans who plundered our tribe, and now it's finally our turn to trouble them. …… Hey, Lord William is such a good man! ”

Three thousand Highland Elves, a thousand Catwomen, and a thousand Rabbit Girls, all sat on the backs of centaurs, and they carried them on the run. However, due to the weight of one more person on their backs, the centaurs' marching speed is naturally not much faster, and it will even accelerate their stamina consumption. However, fortunately, there are only 5,000 people who need to carry the transport, while the centaurs have 15,000 people, which means that every three centaurs are responsible for transporting one person, so the burden is not large.

"Lord William said, what is this called harassment and panic behind enemy lines." "As long as the damage we cause is great enough, those humans who are hiding in the gathering place of powerful walls and buildings will definitely run out to find us, and when the time comes, we will fight them on the battlefield in the field, and Lord William said that as long as we play the way we fought in the past, we will definitely be able to win." …… However, the only thing to pay attention to is the number of friends and enemies. ”

"Hey, we've got Rollo and Eunice, and they can't hide it from us!" The Highland Elf Sagechirotl exclaimed excitedly, as he turned to the other two young women sitting on the back of the centaurs and smiled, "You're right? ”

Rollo is a rabbit girl with an enlarged rabbit head, but she's about the same size as a human - if you cover your head and ignore the white velvet on her body, she's a fiery woman. After hearing Sagechirotl's inquiry, she smiled and said, "Wrap it around us, as long as the enemy makes any movement, it will definitely not be able to hide our ears!" ”

As he said this, Rollo's ears twitched a few times, and he looked extremely lively.

However, compared to Rollo's timid style that doesn't look like a rabbit, Catwoman named Eunice is much more silent.

Younis looks like a woman wearing a cat-shaped helmet, but compared to Rollo's fiery figure, Younis is more ordinary. But her pupils were blue and green, and the tight leather suit she was wearing added a lot of wild charm. At this time, hearing Sagchi Rottel's words, Younis only nodded slightly, and did not say anything actively, but licked the back of his hand, and then combed his hair, which was a little messy by the wind.

Looking at Younis's actions, several people next to him laughed heartily, only Younis looked around blankly, not understanding what his companions were laughing at. On the contrary, those Catwomen who are Eunice's subordinates are all miserable, and they don't look away at all, and they don't look at their leaders at all.

"Sister Eunice, you can't do this." Luo Luo next to him saw Younis's appearance, and he also smiled helplessly, "You have to be more active, how can you be quieter than us rabbit girls as a catwoman." ”

"Oh." Younis replied simply, and then there was no more.

As a result, everyone laughed even more heartily.

Only Younis didn't understand what was wrong with everyone, only his eyes were full of curiosity.

"Hey, Eunice, you might as well marry me!" A werewolf on all fours with a long knife on his back grinned.

"Don't." This time, the expression on Younis's face was a little more vivid, revealing a look of disgust.

In this way, the people around him laughed even louder, especially a leopard man who was running side by side with the werewolf, and even laughed: "It's rejected!" Karfins, haha, little sister Eunice is not something like you can climb! ”

"Cut, Atram, didn't you get rejected your proposal to my sister last month! When have you laughed at me! The werewolf known as Karphins recoiled mercilessly, causing the entire team to burst into even greater laughter.

"I smell human beings." Younis snorted suddenly, then abruptly stood up from the centaur carrying her, "It's a strong smell!" ”

The laughter of the team soon stopped.

"Where?" Lu Xiuan. Bloodhoof asked in a deep voice.

Younis pointed in a direction.

Luo Luo next to him also spoke: "The voice is a little mixed, it's hard to judge the specific number of people, but it should be a small village, probably less than a thousand people." ”

Lu Xiuan. Bloodhoof's face showed a bit of hideousness: "Very good, that's our first hunting area!" …… Karphins, Atram, take your men first! Be careful, don't let anyone go, Lord William's order is to create as much confusion and fear as possible! ”

"Oh!"

The werewolves and leopards quickly let out a cheer, then picked up speed, and soon overtook the entire group and ran in the direction that Younis had pointed out earlier! (To be continued.) )
