"Hey, did you hear? The Elves have launched an all-out attack. It seems like they're going to attack the Beastmen's main city, Durostan. " In the civilian district of the human city, a few patrolling soldiers and a few hooligan-looking civilians were sitting together. They seemed to be chatting. The one who spoke was one of the city guards.
"Yeah, I've heard about it. I heard that the Beastmen slaughtered 150,000 elves in the Northern War three months ago. That's why the Elves refused to stop the war. Now that winter is almost over, the Beastmen must be running out of food. The Elves will definitely launch an all-out attack," another soldier said.
"I didn't expect them to launch an all-out attack so soon," a civilian youth said. "Then aren't the Beastmen doomed this time? The Empire hasn't even sent troops yet, and the Beastmen are already on the verge of collapsing. "
"That's not all." Next to him, a man who looked like a squad leader stealthily took out a small metal flask from his bosom, unscrewed the lid, and took a small sip. Of course, they weren't allowed to drink while patrolling, but they couldn't stop themselves from drinking. They were afraid of being discovered if they took even a small sip. Gently sipping the wine in his mouth, the squad leader continued, "You know what? According to the latest news, the Dragons have declared war on the Beastmen. "
"Dragons? What's that? "the civilian immediately asked." Are they the Dragons? "
"Yeah, squad leader. What's going on? The Dragons are declaring war? " The other soldiers looked at the squad leader in surprise. They didn't know what was going on, and they were curious.
"You guys don't know yet, right?" The squad leader said with a smile. "I heard that the Dragon Valley is to the east of the Beastmen's territory. That's where the Dragons' base is. That place used to be isolated from the rest of the world. Normally, the Dragons wouldn't show up unless someone went there to seek death. But … I don't know what's going on, but it seems like the Dragons are preparing to establish a new country. I heard that they declared war on the Beastmen this afternoon. "
"No way. The Dragons are declaring war? Are they going to hand in a declaration of war like us? "the soldier immediately asked.
"I think they really did. The Beastmen have already received it," the squad leader said with a smile.
"What did they write? What does it say? " Everyone's curiosity was piqued. The Dragon Race actually knew how to build a country and even sent out a declaration of war. This was simply too curious. It was simply unheard of.
"How would I know what's written? I'm not Dilba." The squad leader roared. "The document was submitted to the Orc Parliament. I only heard about it, okay?"
"Oh …" Everyone nodded. Then, a soldier at the side thought for a moment and said, "Does that mean that the Dragon Clan is going to attack the Beast Clan? Then, the Elves would attack from the west to the east, and the Dragons would attack from the east to the west. Wouldn't that be like wrapping the Orcs up like a dumpling? The Beast Race is really going to suffer this time. "
"That's right, I heard that those dragons … eat humans. The Beastmen can't possibly stop them at all."
"Shouldn't the Saint-tier bosses usually deal with the appearance of a giant dragon?" a soldier at the side said.
"That depends on His Majesty the Continent's Emperor." The squad leader said with a smile, "The Saint-tier Alliance is different from before. It is currently split into two factions. One is a new faction controlled by His Majesty the Continent's Emperor. The other is the original Saint-tier Alliance. However, two of the original Saint-tier Alliance's elders have been killed. One of them was killed by His Majesty the Continent's Emperor himself."
"What? His Majesty the Continent's Emperor is so powerful that he could kill an elder of the Saint-tier Alliance? Then isn't his strength … "a few people at the side said in surprise.
"Of course. His Majesty the Continent's Emperor is invincible." When the squad leader talked about Li Huailin, a look of admiration appeared on his face. It was no wonder. With Li Huailin's current reputation, there were people who admired him everywhere.
"What did His Majesty the Continent's Emperor say about the Beastmen?" a commoner at the side asked.
"He hasn't said anything yet," the squad leader said with a smile. "But His Majesty is a human after all. Humans and Beastmen have always been at odds with each other. Last year, a war broke out. Even His Majesty the Continent's Emperor's father died in the war. His corpse was only returned this year. If it weren't for the Demons, we would have already gone to the Beastmen for revenge. Now that we have defeated the Demons, the Beastmen are next. So, it should be impossible for the Beastmen to get His Majesty the Continent's Emperor to take action. "
"That's great. Those Beastmen should have been punished a long time ago." A few people at the side nodded. The relationship between the Humans and the Beastmen was very bad. Who asked the Beastmen to come and take advantage of the Humans when they had nothing better to do?
"Brother Leon, thank you for the news. I'm so happy today. I'll treat you guys to a meal after work. Let's go to Uncle Loranson's place and have a few drinks?" a commoner hooligan at the side immediately said.
"That … No, I really can't leave today. I can only come out and rest for a while." Captain Leon was about to agree, but after thinking about it, he immediately shook his head. "You know that the Continent's Emperor is now dealing with the believers of the Goddess of Harvest. They are still demolishing the temple. Now, the so-called city guards are in a state of martial law. By the way, we are going to patrol soon. Are you guys done resting?"
"Yes, yes." The soldier next to him immediately stood up.
"How do you think these believers of the Goddess of Harvest offended His Majesty the Continent's Emperor? Why are they so miserable?"
"Who knows. It is said that these people have been brainwashed by the Goddess of Harvest. Now, they can't even tell right from wrong. His Majesty the Continent's Emperor ordered them to be killed, but they still have a happy face. You guys didn't see it just now. Each and every one of them lined up like idiots to die. That scene … Just thinking about it makes me a little scared." Captain Leon said while shivering. He couldn't help but take another sip of wine. "Now that I think about it, what His Majesty the Continent's Emperor said is right. If this cult continues to spread, our human race will be brainwashed into idiots."
"So that's how it is. I was wondering why His Majesty the Continent's Emperor wanted to kill the believers of the Goddess of Harvest. So it is a cult." The people around him nodded. Yes, this statement had been recognized by many people. Not only because Li Huailin had a very high favorability rating in everyone's heart, but most importantly, these believers indeed looked like idiots. Why would they support the Goddess of Harvest when she was about to be killed? If that wasn't stupid, then what was?
"In short, His Majesty the Continent's Emperor's order is definitely correct. In my opinion, rather than worshipping that so-called evil god, they should worship His Majesty the Continent's Emperor." Leon said with a smile. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. There are still a lot of things to do. You guys, get up and get to work."
"Yes, Captain." A few city guards immediately stood up and began to patrol.
Just like what they said, the Beastmen were indeed in a miserable state. Li Huailin had just spoken with the Elf Queen, Rachel. Rachel immediately announced the start of an all-out attack. After all, they hadn't stopped fighting with the Beastmen, so they could attack at any time.
After receiving the Queen's order, the frontline troops immediately assembled and began to march towards the Beastmen's border. Indeed, the Elven troops were already prepared. Previously, the Beastmen had won a few battles against the Beastmen, but now that the Beastmen's rations were gradually running out, the Beastmen's attacks were no longer as fierce. On the other hand, the Elves held their ground and refused to attack. Even if the Beastmen's General Colbart knew how to fight, there was nothing he could do. As time went on, the Beastmen really ran out of rations. It had been a few days since the Beastmen's rations had been delivered to the frontline. Colbart was very anxious, but he knew that the main city was in a difficult situation. He couldn't retreat here either, so he was considering stealing rations from the civilians.
Of course, this was very hurtful to the Beastmen, so Colbart couldn't make up his mind. In the end, before he could make a decision, the Elves had taken the initiative to attack. This was a critical moment. A few days ago, he still had a way to set up an ambush. Maybe they could even fight back and steal the Elves' rations. But now, it was impossible. The soldiers hadn't eaten for a few days, and they were so hungry that they couldn't even walk properly. What kind of tactic would they use?
Even so, Colbart was still a General, so he still had the ability to make a prompt decision. The Elven army still needed some time to arrive, so Colbart thought for a while and immediately made a decision.
"Give up on Dratwa?" The Deputy General was stunned, "General, what are you talking about? This is the Beastmen's gateway. If we leave, the Elves will definitely attack. "
"I know, but there's nothing we can do." Colbart said in a deep voice, "And we have to leave immediately. If we wait for them to arrive, we won't be able to leave."
"But … but …" The Deputy General hesitated, "What about the 200,000 civilians in the city? Bring them along? "
"How is that possible? We don't even have rations. If we bring them along, they will start a riot." Colbart immediately said, "Order the soldiers to search the city for rations in half an hour. Then, gather at the east gate in half an hour."
"This … General! These civilians … "
"Alright, I know." Colbart directly interrupted the Deputy General, "Of course I know what this means. You don't need to say anything more. This is my order, execute it immediately!"
"Yes …" The Deputy General looked at Colbart's tightly clenched hands. In the end, he didn't say anything and just nodded before leaving the tent.
