Tauren Overlord

But if you send a real army across the desert, the cost of supplies along the way must be very high.

Maybe they finally defeated the gnolls and ogres along the way, only to find that the cost of escorting the caravan was higher than the profit.

Besides, since a large army has been sent out, why should we still do business honestly?

Wouldn’t it be nice to just conquer the Tomb King’s territory?

Even if the Evil Eye Tyrant doesn't find it fragrant, wouldn't the Tomb King, a thousand-year-old ghost, doubt his purpose?

Although the Evil Eye Tyrant is not as old as the Tomb King, he is also a century-old man who has worked hard to rise to the top.

He is not an innocent person. If he really wants to send a large army, he will have to deal with the ambush of the Tomb King...

In short, the chain of suspicion is endless.

The reason why the Divine Emperor took this step was obviously to destroy the relationship between the two countries sooner or later.

Lu Heng also realized that the Divine Emperor didn't just want to use the Kingdom of Luna to deal with him.

When the God-Emperor needs to conquer the Tomb Kings, he wants to use the Kingdom of Luna-kun again. He really has far-sighted ambitions.

As for the Tomb King of the South, Lu Heng had also thought about establishing some diplomatic relations with him.

But the Tomb King seems to have a strong sense of pride.

Not to mention forming an alliance with other living people, he even looked down on the Volachians who were also dead.

Lu Heng also sent messengers several times, but to no avail.

As for opening the illusion directly, firstly, the Tomb King is also protected by the magic defense barrier and cannot be dragged in directly.

The bigger problem is, who knows what the mental state of a dead person who has "lived" for 1000 years is like.

If he were to be forcibly dragged into the illusion, it might be considered a serious offense.

In addition, Lu Heng was very tense on all fronts, so he simply left the Tomb King alone for the time being.

After all, the Alliance of the Living led by the Divine Emperor is obviously hostile to him, and Lu Heng is not afraid that the Tomb King will stand on the enemy's side.

What Lu Heng must prioritize is the imperial army that is constantly gathering on the Imperial Fuguang Island.

As time came to the end of September 1204 in the Kuzhu calendar, the first batch of imperial reinforcements began to board the ship.

The only one who can stop them is Lu Heng’s only naval battleship, the Golden Hope.

The carrier had a crew of 30, who had received only brief tactical training, but they were the only ones left.

During these few days, the situation on other fronts has also deteriorated.

After wreaking havoc outside New Luna City, the Imperial Demons have joined up with the main force on the northern border.

Lu Heng already felt that the other party had a better tactical judgment and had indeed made the most unfavorable tactical choice for him.

For Lu Heng, the most ideal situation is that the Fierce Demon attacks the New Luna City.

Then when their spiritual energy was exhausted, he would wipe them out.

The worse option is that Lie Mo uses his limited spiritual energy to destroy his industrial system, but Lu Heng can also take the opportunity to destroy them.

Just like how he eliminated Ruby whose psychic energy was exhausted.

As a result, the group of fierce demons chose to join the main force, which replenished their spiritual energy and made them very difficult to destroy.

This also has a chain effect, which is that the pressure on the northern border has become even greater.

In just a few days, the defense line fought and retreated all the way to the area of ​​​​Kongwu Monastery in the mountains.

If we retreat here, we will have to fight a positional war. This is not a place that can be given up easily.

On the southern front, the Luna-kun Kingdom also launched a full-scale attack on the Luna-in Kingdom.

The first to bear the brunt was naturally the southern continental part of the Luna Academy - the Balgaron tribe.

Faced with Balgaron's request for help, Lu Heng did not intend to stand by and watch him die, but he still needed to accumulate more strength.

The mineral veins in the north must continue to be mined and psychic batteries must continue to be produced in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the elite troops.

If the weapons team is allowed to rush in without weapons and ammunition, it is likely to resort to the tactic of adding fuel to the fire.

Not only will it fail to have a decisive effect, it will also cause elite troops to be dragged onto the southern battlefield.

If problems arise on other fronts at that time, should Lu Heng's elite troops withdraw or not?

To withdraw would be to abandon our comrades, causing a collapse in morale on the southern front, and then we would have to withdraw troops to guard against the Evil Eye Tyrant.

If we don’t withdraw, the Divine Emperor’s goal has been achieved, and it will be difficult for the northern front to withstand the heavy troops of the empire.

On the Taimenia front, the Succubus Marshal has led the succubi to suppress the rebels.

The first to be wiped out were the rebels in the city of Paris.

They spontaneously responded to the uprising in the territory of Breos, but unfortunately the Succubus Marshal also had a heavy garrison here.

Hundreds were killed and thousands more captured, but the former capital of the human kingdom was still under the control of the Empire.

Ordinary people with a passion for their lives will ultimately find it difficult to compete with the empire's regular army.

The Succubus Marshal Greymori alone was enough to make the rebels suffer.

With the addition of imperial reinforcements, the uprising seemed easy to put down.

In this desperate moment, Admiral Aurelia aboard the Golden Hope truly had a heavy burden on her shoulders.

To stop the empire's reinforcements of more than 10, it basically depends on the 30 people on this ship.

30 people against 10, that means on average each person, or more than 333 people are needed to fight each dragon.

There might be other giant squids from the empire beneath the water, attacking this isolated ship.

The biggest difficulty is that Lu Heng’s other battle fronts are also very tense.

He would also keep an eye on the battle in the Longsleeve Strait, but he certainly wouldn't take care of Aurelia and her sailors like a nanny.

Aurelia also needs to judge and solve various accidents encountered during the battle on her own.

The author says:

Author's words: Thanks to [Super Godzilla] for the reward and monthly ticket ww

402. Thunderstrike

For Aurelia, who only has one ship of soldiers but has to deal with a strait, the pressure she is under cannot be great.

But for soldiers, knowing that their mission is heavy is not a big deal.

What is really dangerous is falling into a naive fantasy.

For example, only I can develop other people’s land and slaughter other people’s lives.

As for the day when I would be burned to death or struck by lightning, I would never even think about it.

This is exactly the state of the Imperial reinforcements in recent days.

They had finally escaped from the bitter battle on Fukumitsu Island and were feeling very happy.

Suppressing those abyss insects at the imperial headquarters all day long is a really arduous and hopeless task.

Even though the God-Emperor became the most powerful leader they had ever seen, he never managed to deal with the abyss creatures on the island.

Therefore, many of "God's chosen people" actually don't want to stay in the "Island of God's Choice, Shining with Blessings".

They also wanted to enter the provinces of Taimenia and start a happy life of harnessing the cattle and horses of the human race.

In the Empire's propaganda, humans have always been a very weak race that loves to be enslaved.

It is much easier to suppress human rebels than to suppress abyss creatures.

The Empire has also used methods such as recruiting adventurers to consume human strength and make humans even weaker.

This will allow the gods and demons to make room for humans.

Therefore, this fleet not only carried reinforcements, but also a large number of pioneers who were preparing to settle in Taimenia.

The gods and demons of these empires would occupy a large amount of fertile land and then drive humans into desert areas where it was difficult to survive.

In this way, even if "God's chosen people" did not take the trouble to kill all humans one by one, humans would inevitably go extinct.

They can even say that it was not us, the chosen people of God, who killed all the humans.

It was clearly the harsh natural environment that killed all the humans, so how can we say it was us who did it?

Just like that, Changxiu Strait welcomed another bright morning.

The soldiers and civilians from the Holy Blessing Empire were sitting on their large ships, sailing towards the new settlement.

The cloudless weather made them feel particularly happy.

I always feel that by eating delicious food and dreaming, I can reach the other side of happiness.

It was not until a few golden rays flashed in the blue sky that they felt something was wrong.

Is that an enemy?

That's not right. Whether it's the Sea Alliance or the Lunain State, they shouldn't have any military power in the Changxiu Strait.

But whether it should happen is one thing, and whether the electricity comes from a clear blue sky is another.

With one bolt from the blue after another, more and more imperial ships were struck by lightning and caught fire.

The ability used by the Golden Dragon Army is naturally a simulation of Vivian's fourth-level Thunderbolt Lightning ability.

Why don't dragons use their signature dragon breath, instead of thunderbolts?

This was of course a tactical arrangement Lu Heng made specifically for Aurelia and the others.

The first thing he considered was the consumption of the golden dragon's spiritual energy.

Dragon flame is not an ordinary flame. It consumes a lot of spiritual energy, and it is a bit of a waste to use it to burn the empire's wooden ships.

For the crew of the Golden Hope who need to engage in a protracted battle, the fake Thunderbolt is obviously more suitable.

Thunderbolt has a second advantage, which is that it has a longer range.

As long as the golden dragon flies over the imperial fleet or close to it, it will give the imperial soldiers a shocking experience.

The Imperial transport ships were basically made of wood, and soon they were electrocuted and caught fire one after another.

The wail of the burning ship and the roar of the waves intertwined together, like the god of death's favorite symphony.

Even Aurelia, who was carrying out the killing mission, felt that if there really was a hell on earth, it would probably look like this.

Indeed, Lu Heng's Golden Hope did not always bring hope.

At least to the invaders of the empire, she was simply a disaster that brought destruction and death.

But doesn’t this despair brought to the enemy also bring golden hope to the rebels in Taimenia?

While being struck by lightning, the imperial people certainly wanted to resist, but they had no means of fighting back.

Because Lu Heng's Golden Hope completely exceeded their expectations.

If they had received intelligence in advance, they might have deployed some fire monkeys or crossbows on the deck.

However, both of these means of air defense come at a cost.

The problem with the Fire Monkey is that it is not very intelligent and particularly likes to play with fire.

If they were allowed to take the boat, they might burn the boat, so the Imperial Army would rather not take them.

Even if this kind of creature is to be used, the Empire prefers to transport the colonized demons directly. At worst, they can go ashore and regenerate.

The main problem with crossbows is that they are expensive, heavy, difficult to deploy and limited in number.

However, Lu Heng had already tactically guarded against both the fire monkey and the crossbow.

After replacing the dragon's breath with thunder and lightning, the golden dragon can fly higher.

Even if the Empire really deployed anti-aircraft firepower, the Golden Dragon would have enough space to maneuver.

In short, Lu Heng has made clear arrangements for the empire's reinforcements.
