Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 344 The world is full of ups and downs

The city of Dorabi, the bridgehead of the Marino Line.

In the second half of the night, the dense dark clouds began to disperse a little, revealing the light of the stars and the moon that were about to set.

The starlight from the sky fell into the spacious bedroom, illuminating the white velvet bed sheet that was as light as a feather.

Perhaps it was because the light of the stars and the moon was particularly heavy tonight that Grand Duke Lorne of Marino was unexpectedly awakened from his nightmare.

When Grand Duke Lorne of Marino sat up from his warm bed, panting, his entire body's underwear had already been completely soaked with cold sweat.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" The maid who was also awakened by Loen came over from the end of the bed, rubbing her sleepy eyes. She touched the cold underwear of Grand Duke Loen and was startled.

She didn't even care about her two big white rabbits that were half-naked in the cold air. She slipped out of bed, turned on the lights in the room, and began to change Grand Duke Loen into new soft underwear.

The continuous rainfall in recent days has made the still warm climate in the city of Dorabi seem to have entered the winter season early.

The damp and cold weather not only greatly reduced the fighting desire and morale of the defenders in the City of Dorabi and the entire Marino Line, but also caused serious problems in the transportation of logistical supplies for the first vital line of defense of the Southern Noble Alliance.

Because this is not an ordinary natural plum rain weather, but an unnatural man-made disaster.

The coalition forces of the Northern Golden Empire and the other seven kings were not yet in sight, but the enemy's means had already hit the Southern Noble Alliance head-on.

In war, logistics is the most important thing.

Even if you are the strongest army in the world, without sufficient supplies of materials and food, morale will decline and the military will no longer be able to fight.

In Kalon Gogmora's cognition, among the countless memories and knowledge records, there is only one army that can maintain a high degree of determination and will to fight under extremely scarce supplies, and that is very difficult to replicate.

Even for the legionnaires of the Golden Empire, with their just excuses and reasons for the greater good, Kallon could not guarantee that all the legions would be able to overcome such difficulties, let alone those legionnaires of the southern nobles.

The Eight Kings' Alliance dispatched a large number of air knights and flying alchemy corps, using the mobility and flexibility of the air knights to wreak havoc throughout the Marino defense line and the rear.

Although the breath attacks and magic attacks of flying dragons, magic dragons and even giant dragons cannot exceed the air defense line of the Marino Line, once they land slightly, they will be attacked by the air defense force.

But the combination of strength and wise thinking is the correct way to use strength.

Spells that seem to control the weather have no obvious targeting effect in battle, but tactically they can cause serious damage to the enemy. Such spells do not even need to be cast close to the enemy's defense line. Rain falling from high altitudes becomes an important weapon in this war.

Grand Duke Lorne of Marino felt upset whenever he thought of the difficulties he was facing. He let the maid change his clothes and subconsciously wanted to get up, but he felt that he seemed to have no strength in his whole body.

"You go down and let Lalo come over,"

Loen waved away the maid who was warming his bed, and looked at the distorted shadows of the patrolling guards outside the window under the light. The occasional footsteps made him feel particularly anxious.

It was not until the heavy rhythmic footsteps sounded that Loen let out a deep breath, stood up from the bed, walked to the armor rack, put on a calm look, and stood with his hands behind his back.

Although Laro is the captain of the personal guard of Grand Duke Lorne of Marino and is Lorne's absolute confidant and close subordinate, Lorne will never show his weak side.

This has nothing to do with the relationship between each other, but is a mask that the nobles in power are born to wear. The unknown mystery is one of the powerful reins that these nobles use to hold power.

"Grand Duke!" The middle-aged warrior in gorgeous light armor turned his sword behind him, knelt on one knee to salute, and then stood up and spoke.

"Lalo, is there any news from yesterday?" Loen asked softly as he signaled his captain of the guard to come up and help him put on armor.

The transmission of information is delayed. Even though the twenty-one countries of the Southern Noble Alliance are deeply connected with each other, there will be delays in the communication system.

Being able to know the news conveyed yesterday was an effect that the nobles could only achieve by using magical powers at all costs.

"Grand Duke, yesterday, the United Giant Eagle Guard and the Griffin Knights each lost two hundred warriors. The heads of those Griffin Knights and Giant Eagle Guard warriors were also cut off and taken away by the Eighth King's Air Knights."

Lalo's words were like a damp and cold breath that made Grand Duke Loen feel a little cold. "Three of the main transportation routes leading to Dorabi and the entire Marino Defense Line were destroyed by those dragons. The supplies and food transported by various countries were also burned by those dragons."

"Although the logistics corps is driving the civilians to repair the road as quickly as possible, it is difficult to guarantee that the logistics supplies will arrive on time. After all, those flying dragons and giant dragons are difficult to contain!"

"Grand Duke, those nobles are not willing to spend too much on food and military supplies. After all, the losses along the way are too great."

"We cannot completely guarantee the safe arrival of the transported materials, but if we cannot get timely replenishment of materials, we can only cut the logistics supply. Perhaps the joint reinforcements sent by the nobles will start to make trouble."

"These damn guys," Grand Duke Marino could not help but get angry, "Don't they know that once Marino is breached by those ambitious monsters, they will be the next to face it?"

"At this point, these short-sighted guys are still thinking about retaining their own strength?"

Dragons are very powerful, especially in large-scale battles, where groups of dragons are enough to destroy legions and breach cities.

Even in plane wars, dragons can become the main force and be invincible on most battlefields.

However, in the hands of Karon Gogmora, the powerful city-breaking weapon and war weapon completely changed its role.

The giant dragons of the Golden Empire, led by the Dragon Kings of the Empire in batches, galloped across the sky, turning the entire Marino Line of Defense and the main transportation routes of other cities upside down.

When the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy retreats, I attack. I never use the dragon's flesh and blood to confront the city's defensive military equipment head-on, but perfectly utilize the dragon's unique comprehensive advantages.

The combined Aerial Eagle Knights and Griffin Knights sent by various countries have been trained since childhood and are capable of resisting the might of most dragons in a fierce battle. With the power of magic, they are no longer afraid of the majesty of the Dragon King of the Golden Empire.

But even though the dragons that the Golden Empire later subdued could not have the same strict military discipline as the soldiers of the Imperial Legion, the dragons were still the undisputed overlords of the sky.

These Giant Eagle Knights and Griffin Knights, who were originally intended to restrain the giant dragons and the dragon army, were not even able to perform their duties. They were completely crushed by the dragon army led by the Dragon King in the aerial battlefield guarding the rear.

Moreover, the Chimera Legion and the Wyvern Legion secretly nurtured by the noble alliance were besieged and killed in the first confrontation by the six red dragons led by the Red King Clenaya of the Golden Empire and the three hundred dragon knights led by the Dragon Captain Bartoli, thus disbanding the entire legion.

Among them, the young red dragon Caedilos, a male red dragon known as the "Crimson Roar", fought to the point of madness. He chased the remaining air combat corps that had fled back to the Marino defense line to the outskirts of the city, and with a single breath he burned twenty griffin knights into ashes in front of the gazes of the crowd.

If this male red dragon, which was approaching maturity, had not had one of its wings shot off by the Fang of Amat, an alchemical weapon that was eventually praised as plucking the light of the stars, perhaps this crazy red dragon would have tried to attack the city of Dorabi alone.

The southern nobles once sent legendary warriors to lure and kill these rampaging dragons, but although the Dragon King of the Golden Empire could not fight against the real legendary warriors, he was able to deal with the legendary warriors with his treacherous and changeable spells and flexible maneuverability and clamp down on them.

Especially Liam, the Eternal Punishment Dragon, who was originally unknown, used space-like spells such as the Eternal Punishment Realm and the Magic Labyrinth to restrain two legends at the same time.

Although this adult Eternal Punishment Dragon was beaten almost to death by a legendary strongman, it also became famous from then on.

From then on, the air force of the Southern Noble Alliance rarely dared to step out of the surrounding area of the entire defense line to face the air legions of the Eight Northern Kings alone, and only dared to hover around the city and over the Marino Defense Line.

The aerial reconnaissance scouts originally sent out by the southern nobles were almost completely wiped out, and it was difficult to learn the situation of the Eight Kings' Allied Forces through their own reconnaissance capabilities.

Although the legendary warriors under the command of these nobles caused the Eight Kings' air coalition to lose some strength, it also made the Eight Kings' air knights more mature and cunning. They came and went like the wind, and if they missed a strike, they would flee thousands of miles away, making the noble coalition miserable.

Grand Duke Lorne of Malino also knew the difficulty of the situation and was just venting his anger just now.

These southern nobles had never expected the Golden Empire's style of warfare. In their eyes, the dragon would only rely on its own strength and powerful body like a wild beast to recklessly attack the city's defenses.

The lack of advance preparations caused the war situation to fall into a quagmire before these noble armies officially saw the coalition forces of the Eight Kings.

But with tactics like Karon Gogmora's, even with advance precautions, the consequences would not be much better than they are now.

These countries with many aristocrats have never had a unified cultural recognition and spiritual cohesion due to their ancient systems and civilizations.

But from the moment the Eight Kings Alliance gathered and sent troops, these nobles were forced to shift from superficial economic and political union to real deep military and political integration.

Ekania: There are many people in power in many countries in the world who fight internal battles, suppress and exploit their people, but are willing to compromise and communicate with the outside world.

But Kalon Gogmora was not such a ruler, nor such a dragon.

Kalon Gogmora's temper of saying what he means was also vividly revealed in the eyes of these southern nobles at this moment.

As the first victim, Grand Duke Lorne of Marino felt it most deeply.

If Loen had not been specifically named as a target to be eliminated by the Golden Empire, perhaps under such pressure the Grand Duke would have inevitably considered surrendering to the Eight Kings Alliance.

With each passing day, the pressure in Grand Duke Marino's heart became heavier than the day before. The Golden Empire's strategy of killing people and destroying their hearts had already achieved half of its expected goal.

Grand Duke Marino is even worried that if the Golden Empire and the legions of the kings intend to delay the pace of this war into a long-term war, the entire Principality of Marino may be dragged down.

Fortunately, this consumption was the same for both sides of the war. The wealth and resources of the nobles were being consumed, and the strength of the Golden Empire and the kings was also being consumed.

It was not until he put on his armor that Grand Duke Loen suppressed his anger and asked, "What is the situation at various parts of the Marino Line these two days? Has anything happened?"

Lalo showed an embarrassment on his face and said softly, "Grand Duke, because supplies are given priority to the Principality's legions and the rest of the nobles' coalition forces, the civilians and laborers have been reduced from two meals a day to one meal a day, which has caused many civilians to complain."

"Just before nightfall tonight, two hundred slaves in the labor camp attempted to escape under the cover of darkness and flee to the territory of the Hobis Empire, but they were all captured by the soldiers of the patrol corps!"

"According to the confessions of these slaves, many slaves in the labor camp are planning to unite and revolt, and want to surrender to the Hobis Empire!"

"Many people in Dorabi City have seen the notice posted by the Golden Empire and have begun to secretly hide their food. Even if the patrol corps hangs those people, it will be difficult to collect much food!"

"Untouchables, what a bunch of untouchables," Grand Duke Loen turned around with a grim face, no longer able to control his emotions and was furious.

He had also read the numerous notices scattered by the Golden Empire Air Knights, which not only announced the conspiracy and misdeeds of the southern nobles, but also stated the attitude of the coalition of kings to only punish the main culprits and wipe out those nobles.

The notice also "kindly" reminded countless residents in the city of Dorabi to store up their food and close the doors and windows of their homes when war comes.

Although Kalon Gogmora did not promise the coalition of kings not to kill civilians in the war, after all, in Kalon's eyes, only the people of the Golden Empire were his own people.

And every loyal warrior of the empire is far more valuable than any other person, and he will not ask the warriors of the empire to have any concerns on the battlefield just to gain a good reputation.

However, these notices also stated that as long as the civilians did not actively participate in the war, the warriors of the Golden Empire would not actively harm these civilians.

Most people did not care about the struggle between the southern nobles and the northern kings. They only cared about their own safety. Therefore, the announcement of the Golden Empire also caused a lot of trouble for Grand Duke Marino in collecting grain and civilian labor.

“Why are these untouchables rebelling against me?”

"I let these untouchables live and feed them, but they turned against me?" Grand Duke Marino roared, "Kill them all, not one will be spared!"

Lalo looked embarrassed and whispered, "Grand Duke, if this happens, the whole city of Dorabi will be in chaos."

Loen angrily glanced at his confidant in front of him, and after a long while he said feebly: "Forget it, all the slaves who intend to defect will be executed, and those who want to lead the riot will also be hanged as a punishment!"

"Come on, Lalo, come with me and check out the city's defenses."

The city of Dorabi is not the hinterland city of the Principality of Marino, but it is the most important pass in the Marino Line of Defense. Therefore, Grand Duke Marino personally guards this city.

The city of Dorabi is built on the mountain, in the pass of the Dorabi Mountains, and is surrounded by mountains on almost all sides.

The mountain on the left rises from the plain with an altitude of 980 meters, and the mountain on the right has an altitude of 870 meters.

The city of Dorabi is located in a large basin between two mountains, about 20 kilometers long and 42 kilometers wide.

A tall wall was built along the dangerous peaks and cliffs. The wall is eleven meters high and three meters wide.

There are three city gates on the south, north and east sides.

The South Gate is a naturally formed pass in the mountain basin, and outside the gate is a large urn city.

The North Gate is located at the bottom of the hillside and is also designed as a barbican, but on a smaller scale.

The East Gate is a secret gate, which is very small and is mainly used for small legions to launch surprise attacks using the road.

There are multiple watchtowers and fire defense points around the mountain city, including the commanding heights of the peaks on both sides and the highest points of the outer peaks.

As vegetation is sparse in this section of the mountain, the surroundings of the mountain city can be seen at a glance.

In the Dorabi Mountains that stretch from east to west on both sides of the mountain city, the rest of the mountain range is even more dangerous than the area around the mountain city. It is difficult for flying monkeys to cross, and it is almost impossible for the enemy to attack by detours.

Just in terms of the defensive strength of the city of Dorabi, it is almost unsolvable in the mortal world.

Moreover, as a pass city connecting the Principality of Marino and the Hobis Empire, Dorabi City has relatively complete living facilities. The usable land in the city exceeds 20 square kilometers, and a river flows from north to south through Dorabi City.

Several wide reservoirs were built beside the river to provide for the daily life and production of the city’s residents.

In addition, there are houses, wells, markets, warehouses, barracks, workshops, quarrying camps, cattle and sheep pens, and a large amount of arable land reclaimed on the gentle slopes within the city.

This is a medium-to-large city with complete facilities that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people for long-term production and living.

In addition to the facilities within the city, a large expanse of plains outside the city has also been reclaimed into fertile farmland. When war is not coming, the city gates can be opened and people can go out to farm to replenish the city's food and fodder supplies.

In times of war, they would fortify their walls and retreat back to the city to hold their ground. Even the Hobis Empire, which was across the plain from the other side of the mountain pass, could not easily think of attacking the Principality of Marino.

So when Grand Duke Lorne of Marino and his personal guards stepped onto the towering city wall, he finally felt some rare confidence.

The shadow of the dragon in the sky had long disappeared, and the continuous raindrops had stopped, leaving only the water still flowing in the drainage channels on the city wall. Many soldiers guarding the city wall hid in the pass watchtowers on the city wall, huddled together to keep each other warm.

Even with continuous rain it wouldn't be this cold, but the Golden Empire has many giant dragons, especially the white dragons among the five-colored dragons.

These white dragons cooperated with the blue dragons that controlled the storm to forcibly rewrite the weather in the entire surrounding area. The summer rain was colder than the winter rain, and many soldiers of the noble legion were frozen in just half a month.

The change in weather has caused these legion soldiers to have greater demands for supplies, especially warm cotton-padded clothes, which are extremely scarce without advance preparation.

Moreover, the weather is unpredictable, with changes from hot to cold, which further challenges the soldiers' adaptability.

However, these legion soldiers were fine. The most serious ones were the civilian servants and craftsmen who maintained the entire defense line and dug the mountain fortress lookout towers.

The long-term cold weather and stagnant water forced many laborers and craftsmen to work in the stagnant water, causing their skin to ulcerate and abscesses and maggots to grow below the knees.

Among the slaves, three or four out of ten died.

It can be said that the entire defense line of the Principality of Marino was built on the corpses of these slaves and laborers.

Grand Duke Lorn stood at the pass that led past the city wall, inspecting the defense line he had built with his own hands. The griffin knights in the sky took turns on duty, patrolling over the entire defense mountain range day and night, investigating all the movements around them.

Standing at the highest point of the eastern mountain, he could see the twinkling lights on the distant mountains, which made him feel at ease.

The southern nobles' tactical conception for the entire Marino Line was to rely on solid fortifications and powerful defensive facilities to crush the enemy's frontal attack and look for opportunities to launch a counterattack.

As long as the city of Dorabi is stable, even if the defense line is broken through by the enemy with blood and bodies, the fortifications on both sides of the breakthrough can block the retreat of the invading coalition of the Eight Kings, and cooperate with the reserve corps of each city behind the defense line to disperse and annihilate the invading coalition of the Eight Kings one by one.

Therefore, in addition to the garrison troops stationed in various permanent fortifications on the Marino Line, there are also mobile defense zone troops deployed in the rear, such as the Rose Knights sent by the Rose Principality and various comprehensive cavalry regiments dispatched by various countries.

"Huh, I wonder where those guys are now and what kind of attack preparations they will make. Have those merchants and spies sent any news recently?"

Grand Duke Lorne of Marino turned and asked his personal guards.

"Grand Duke, the only news from the spies recently was that the Frost Giants, as the last corps of the Eight Kings' coalition, entered the God-Forsaken Mountains. Apart from that, there was no other news that could be conveyed."

A guard replied cautiously: "Almost the entire sky is blocked by the coalition forces of the Eight Kings. It is difficult for the spies to find out where the monsters are going."

"Moreover, many spies have not made any moves since they sent back the news. According to those merchants, when they left the Golden Empire, they saw many people being hanged outside the city by the Inquisition. Those merchants did not dare to inquire about the Golden Empire's movements at this time!"

Grand Duke Loen let out a breath of cold air. As a powerful man at the top of the Holy Land, relying on the treasures passed down from generation to generation in his family, he even dared to fight against ordinary legends, but now he couldn't help feeling a little cold in his heart.

In war, logistics and intelligence are of paramount importance, but the nobles nowadays are almost completely in the dark about the movements of the northern kings. Even the prophecy spells cannot clearly detect the movements of the other side.

However, the northern kings used their unrivaled air force advantage to discover the entire Marino Line's defense situation with great clarity.

This caused the little confidence that Grand Duke Marino had just gained to fall back to the bottom of the abyss.

Loen couldn't help but stomp hard on the heavy rock under his feet with his expensive animal leather boots, as if this could give him some confidence.

They were standing on a solid observation platform, the entire platform was made of the surrounding mountains, and was built purely with gray-brown granite.

A heavy artillery piece covered with intricate spell patterns and inlaid with huge magic crystals and gems as a quick-reaction energy source.

In addition to the magic cannons, there are also many "Moradin's Wrath" heavy cannons purchased from the Chamber of Commerce in the Central Continent and produced and cast by the dwarves on the pass of the city wall.

Moradin is the main god of the dwarves worshipped by many branches of the dwarves. The power of the heavy artillery known as the "Wrath of Moradin" should not be underestimated.

However, although the shells used by "Moradin's Wrath" seem to be similar to the high-energy gunpowder used in the Golden Empire's artillery and have the same ingredients as high-energy gunpowder, they are not the black technology developed by the dwarves.

The shells of 'Moradin's Wrath' are the fruits of a magical plant planted by the dwarves in volcanic and heavy metal areas. They are naturally endowed with both physical and magical explosion effects.

Because the output is not as sufficient as that of artificial research and development, the price is relatively expensive. Just the configuration of this batch of "Moradin's Wrath" heavy artillery cost the southern nobles hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

Although hundreds of thousands of gold coins seem to be a large amount, they are only the basic unit of measurement for the construction cost of the entire Marino Line.

There are also batches of huge armor-piercing crossbows and alchemical crossbows as powerful weapons against giants and dragons, which are installed in various outposts along the entire defense line.

The entire Marino Line, built along the Dholabi Mountains, is up to 300 kilometers long, extending from the Principality of Marino to the neighboring Principality of Rosetta and the Principality of Damietta.

At the commanding heights of the mountains and at the nodes of magic source, there are thousands of defensive fortifications built with the combined efforts of the southern countries, although most of them are regular observation sentry posts.

Some permanent fortifications were first equipped with heavy artillery and giant crossbows, and then fortifications were dug according to the mountain, but this also showed the determination of these nobles.

There were as many as 300,000 legionnaires deployed in these fortifications alone.

Including the civilian laborers who provided logistics support and the slave laborers who built the defense line, the population of the entire Marino Line of Defense reached over one million. This number was close to a quarter of the total population of a high principality like Marino.

This shows the southern nobles' fear of the coalition forces of the kings.

As a pass for advancing to the south, once the coalition forces of the kings attacked this line of defense head-on, they would be attacked from the flanks of the Principality of Rosetta and the Principality of Damietta on the east and west.

However, it would be more difficult for the coalition forces of those kings to break through from the sea. The overall terrain of the Principality of Damietta in the west belongs to the highland hilly area. The joint defense line relying on various cities is not necessarily easier to break than the Marino Line.

The Principality of Rosetta in the east is located by the sea and has a powerful naval fleet and a joint fleet sent by the Alliance of Aristocrats as the city's maritime defense line.

Once the army's offensive is blocked, the strong logistical supply pressure will be enough to overwhelm the coalition forces of the kings.

Thinking of this, Grand Duke Loen's expression became solemn.

He watched the sky gradually brighten, with the sun already faintly visible on the horizon. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I hope those monsters come later so that we can build a more complete defense line. But I also hope they come earlier. Otherwise, the nobles won't suffer much loss, but the duchy will suffer heavy losses."

"With all this ups and downs, it's still unknown whether Marino can still become a high principality in the future!" Loen raised his head and sighed deeply.

……

After the discussion among the eight kings, they decided to send troops together to march south to wipe out the aristocratic alliance and occupy the territories of the southern countries.

The Golden Empire dispatched two reorganized legions and several independent regiments totaling 100,000 warriors, with each reorganized legion having about 30,000 soldiers.

After the reform of the military system of the Golden Empire, the legions were basically organized into corps, battle groups, battalions, companies, platoons and squadrons.

One team has about ten soldiers, some more and some less, and one platoon has three teams.

A company is composed of three platoons, a battalion is composed of three companies, and a combat regiment is composed of three battalions.

At the regiment level, in addition to the three infantry battalions, it sometimes also has long-range artillery battalions, long-range archery battalions, medium-range musket battalions and golem armored companies, etc. according to the configuration of the legion.

Therefore, the number of soldiers in the entire legion is not fixed, but such a slightly complicated military system does not mean chaos.

On the contrary, with a reserve of basic quality warriors, the more regular subdivisions of military reform are, the easier it is to manage and mobilize.

An officer who can lead a thousand men without causing chaos is a talent; an officer who can lead ten thousand soldiers without causing chaos is a general; an officer who can lead one hundred thousand soldiers is a famous general rarely seen in the history.

Although the Golden Empire did not have rare generals in history, relying on long-term basic quality education and training, as well as familiarity with large-scale military systems, the 100,000-strong army was almost well-organized.

Under the command of the legion commander, they had already set out to contact the legion of the Hobis Empire.

The four elite legions led by the Dark Elves King subsequently had a total of more than 40,000 people, while the two alchemical legions of the Dark Nest Lord Sharos had only 12,000 soldiers and were the second batch to set off.

The three thousand elite Frost Giants led by Ragnar Hagrid, the King of Frost Giants, plus the Frostfield Mixed Legion, totaling 60,000 soldiers, set out one after another to join the front army.

After the armies of these kings join together, they will attack towards the Duchy of Damietta with the Frost Giant Legion, Dark Elves and Darknest Legion, and serve as the main force on the front battlefield to clamp down on Damietta.

And maintain communication to find an opportunity to quickly break through the joint defense line of the nobles of the three countries.

The orc king Poseidon Ryan mobilized the elite troops of the orc kingdom, with the main fleet of the Golden Empire's "Imperial Glory" as the flagship, and led an orc army of 200,000 directly to the southern waters of the Principality of Rosetta.

The orc king Poseidon Lion personally commanded the army, waiting for news from the Golden Empire. He was ambitious to personally conquer the Principality of Rosetta and was determined to win the first battle in the Alliance of Eight Kings.

The Elf Kingdom is currently dealing with internal chaos and is unable to send out more legion soldiers. It only sent out two thousand mixed legions of magic archers and sword dancers, and sent a legendary sun elf warrior as the main general to cooperate with the elven princess Ajani Isabelle to follow the army of the multi-armed giant Mogyes in the God-Forsaken Mountains.

On the one hand, these elves of order can support the giant legions that are still in the chaotic stage. On the other hand, they also assist the low-level generals of the Golden Empire to help the multi-armed giant Moges to reorganize those giant and monster legions.

The legions of these kings have been more or less influenced by the Golden Empire, not only in the joint reorganization, but also in the establishment of communication and liaison systems.

Mogyes, the king of the many-armed giants, sat slumped on a stone seat made of rocks with a gloomy face. He looked at the reorganized army of frost giants disappearing from his sight, and at the giants, giant subspecies and various monsters in the river valley plains who were being reorganized and trained by low-level officers of the Golden Empire. He couldn't help spitting.

"Pah, before the comparison, I didn't feel any difference, but after the comparison, I want to twist the heads of these idiots off."

"I will let your warrior instructors reorganize. You should ask them to be more ruthless and chop off the heads of those who dare to disobey."

Moges muffled his words, "With me in charge, I will kill any giant who dares to resist!"

As the first multi-armed giant to be prepared, Mogyes's legion was the last to set out, and the reason was convincing to him.

Because once these giants and monsters cannot be restrained and fall into chaos, the impact of the errors they cause will be greater than their contribution on the battlefield.

The White Dragon King, Gmot, has now entered the peak of his teenage years and has reached a height of twenty meters. However, compared to the mountain-high, multi-armed giant, Moges, his size is no different from that of a young dragon.

Gmot looked at the stupid giants who were somewhat panicked under the command of the instructors of the Golden Empire, and couldn't help but curl his fangs and laughed: "King Moges, this is very normal. Those giants and monsters are not used to being bound by order."

"Killing is only a means, not an end. Those giants and monsters that cannot be taught will be reorganized by the Empire's instructors. When the time comes, let those giants and monsters launch the first wave of attack. This way, they can be put to good use!"

The multi-armed giant nodded, raised his four arms at the same time, and looked at him coldly.

The Golden Empire did not expect these giants and monsters to form an army-like order in a short period of time, but the smarter giants selected by the imperial instructors were granted the title and power to command various organized teams in the name of the Giant King Moges.

With these smarter giants in charge, most giants and monsters will know to advance when they hear orders and retreat when they hear slogans in war.

Should we attack to the left or to the right? That's enough.

In addition to these giants and subspecies monsters that are being reorganized, there are also many weak monsters who are cutting down trees under the guidance of the Elf Legion and using the wood to make simple shields.

These shields were made so crudely that they only needed to be coated with a layer of grease and allowed to dry slightly in the shade, and then one or more layers of tough animal hides tied together with ancient vines growing in the mountains and forests, to create a heavy wooden shield that could be used in battle.

Even with the productivity of the Golden Empire, it was not enough to fully arm the legions of frost giants and the legions of the multi-armed giant Moges.

Even if the multi-armed giant Moges paid a large amount of wealth plundered from the cloud giant's palace, he could only buy weapons to arm a legion of 3,000 elite giants.

The multi-armed giant Mogyes went to the territories of the evil giants and the death giants to extort money on the pretext of forming an alliance with the Golden Empire, but he could only gather enough weapons and equipment for two hundred elite giant warriors. This shows how backward the civilized races in the God-Forsaken Mountains are.

If there was not much time left to prepare for the war, Mogyes would even want to conquer all the evil giants and death giants and drive these high-level giants south.

And with the weapons and equipment in the hands of the cloud giants, Mogyes can also arm a total of 7,000 "elites" for display. The rest of the giant warriors can only use homemade weapons and defensive equipment.

But when he saw the neat military appearance of the Golden Empire, the multi-armed giant Moges felt that something was wrong when he looked at his own legion again. The usually heroic giant felt a rare feeling of annoyance.

So Mogyes always felt that the upturned corner of the white dragon Gemot's mouth carried a hint of sarcasm.

“Liam has never worked so hard under me.” The multi-armed giant looked forward with one head, and squinted at the ancestor white dragon with the other head. “You, the Golden Empire, are really good at buying off dragons!”

The white dragon Gmot shook his head that looked like it was carved from frost, and his long dragon horns shone with rainbow light under the sunlight.

He smiled and said, "Dragons should be together with other dragons, just like King Mogayes should lead all the giants in the God-Forsaken Mountains."

Mogyes was very happy to be flattered. After all, Gemot was also a famous dragon king in the Golden Empire.

So the giant asked, "How is Gogmora? Although he didn't show it, I can tell that he's not in a good condition."

"If he needs help, I can help him, as long as you give me a discount next time!"

It would certainly not be so easy for Moges to become a friend of the dragon, even though they currently have the same goal and may become friends with the same ambitions in the future.

Instead, as the advocates and leaders of the Alliance of Kings, only Kalon Gogmora and the Golden Empire can serve as the bridge and lubricant for trust and cooperation among the kings.

Every king knows that the universe outside of Ekania's world is almost infinite, but they have been trapped in the swamp of Ekania for too long.

Only Kalon Gogmora has the amazing courage to unite the kings and get out of this muddy swamp.

White Dragon Gmot shook his head and said softly, "Karon is a guy who always has his own plans, but he didn't tell us, so it must be irrelevant."
