At this time, the entire southern part of the continent was at war, including the war between the humans and the Demons, and the humans and the Dwarves. But surprisingly, on the first day of the war, the two sides didn't break out at all. The 4th and 1st human corps didn't take the initiative to attack. Interestingly, the Demons and the Dwarves didn't attack either, because everyone was watching the situation of the 2nd human corps.
On the first day of the war, Li Huailin's 2nd human corps and the Undead army attacked Morakan City. Then, they massacred the entire city. At the same time, Li Huailin sent out five squads of 10,000 soldiers to massacre the small cities near Morakan City. Of course, these small cities didn't have many soldiers to defend them, so it didn't take long for the 10,000 soldiers to attack them. Then, they massacred the Dwarves on a large scale.
On the first night, not a single Dwarf could be found within a hundred miles of Morakan City. Those who could run had fled, while those who couldn't could only lie on the ground.
The 2nd human corps and the Undead army rested in Morakan City for a night. The next day, they continued to march toward the second city in the west, Kamla City. At this time, the governor of Kamla City received the news. Looking at the 800 guards in his city, the governor packed up and left without a second thought.
Some civilians in the city also received the news from the Dwarves who fled from Morakan City. Of course, they knew that the city couldn't withstand the crushing of 100,000 soldiers, so they immediately packed up and fled. Of course, most of the Dwarves fled to their main city, Molten Iron City, because they believed that it was the strongest and safest city. Therefore, almost everyone fled to the west.
By the time Li Huailin's army arrived at Kamla City, most of the people in the city had already left. The rich ran the fastest and had long fled with their money. Basically, the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled were the ones who couldn't run away.
"Kill them quickly and chase after them in the west." Li Huailin had no intention of letting these people go. Wherever he went, he would leave no survivors. The soldiers of the 2nd human corps poured into the city in one go. After finishing everything in an hour, they continued to advance to the west. The next target was a city further west, Moxep City.
At this time, a group of refugees had already gathered at the entrance of Moksep City. It wasn't that the city lord didn't want them to go in, but Moksep City itself was too small. It couldn't fit so many people at all. By the way, the city lord of Moksep City had already disappeared. The guards couldn't find him at all.
At this time, the refugees were also very tired. They had been rushing all the way from morning until now. Now that they had finally arrived at a city, they wanted to rest for a while. However, the problem was that they couldn't even enter the city. Because they hadn't even had a sip of water, the refugees were already on the verge of rioting. At this time, the latest news came. The refugees who had just arrived said that the human army had caught up.
After a moment of panic, the refugees on this side began to run again. Of course, their numbers had increased a lot this time. People from Moksep City had also begun to join them.
Li Huailin didn't intend to chase after them. He just marched slowly and drove all the Dwarven refugees towards the west. Of course, the physical strength of ordinary civilians couldn't compare to that of soldiers. Along the way, Li Huailin was able to catch up with a few groups of refugees. Of course, without a doubt, Li Huailin would take care of them and loot them clean. However, most of the refugees still exerted physical strength that they couldn't normally do. They were very diligent in running towards the west.
The war quickly progressed to the third day. The joint army of the second legion and the undead didn't encounter any obstructions. They swept through about 7 medium-sized cities and more than 10 small cities. However, they didn't manage to loot a lot of things. This was because most of the things were taken away by the refugees. However, they did manage to loot a lot of rations. After all, they couldn't take anything from the granaries.
During these three days, the undead army on this side worked very hard. Because of the continuous supply of corpses, the Undead Priests continued to work. In these three days, the undead army had increased by another 4000 people. Now, it had reached 27000 people. At the same time, they received a report from the rear that the undead's reinforcements, namely Maxim's 10,000 undead army, were about to arrive. This time, not only did the number of humans and undead not decrease, it actually increased to nearly 120,000.
When Li Huailin returned to the front line, it was already close to afternoon. Because today was the day of the S-rank tournament, Li Huailin also had a few matches today. Apart from Jiang Xueyi, who was in the same company as him, he didn't know anyone else. While his army was still sweeping through the cities, Li Huailin went to participate in the S-rank tournament. Of course, he didn't encounter any obstructions. Basically, all the battles were one-on-one. Jiang Xueyi's performance was also good. Apart from losing to Li Huailin, he won the other three matches.
Currently, in the S-rank tournament rankings, Jade Emperor Summoner was in first place with a 7-0 record. Li Huailin was in second place with a 6-1 record. Heaven's End had one less match, so he was in third place with a 3-0 record. However, Li Huailin believed that after tomorrow's match, he would soon return to first place.
Since the army's encampment was in the Dwarf's city, the teleportation circle was still usable. When Li Huailin returned to the front line, Maccon had been waiting for a long time. Since the clean-up work was already over, he was just waiting for Li Huailin's order to set off.
"Marshal, we have received some bad news," Maccon immediately said when he saw Li Huailin walking out of the teleportation circle.
"Oh, bad news?" Li Huailin asked. "What's the situation?"
"According to the route you have planned, the next city we are going to attack is Loggerland City. This is the largest and strongest city in the eastern part of the Dwarf Kingdom. It can be said to be the last barrier of the Dwarf Kingdom in the eastern part. However, we have just received news that the Dwarf Kingdom seems to have gathered the last of their forces to defend this city, "Maccon said.
"Oh, the last of their forces?" Li Huailin asked. "How many are there?"
"It is said that the Royal Guards of Molten Iron City have arrived. Together with the guards from the surrounding cities, the total number is estimated to be more than 20,000," Maccon said. "And I heard that the highest commander in the city is actually the second son of the Dwarf Kingdom's King, Oli. He is also the second prince of the Dwarf Kingdom, Vensare. It is said that he is also a prince who is good at fighting."
"Hehe, the prince is here?" Li Huailin said. "It seems that the Dwarf Kingdom has been forced into a corner. I guess this is their last bet."
"Yes, we have also just received news that the Dwarf Kingdom's army in the north has given up on attacking. Instead, they have switched to defense. The army has been divided into two halves, and 70,000 soldiers are left to defend the First Legion. The remaining 70,000 soldiers have begun to return. The target of the Dwarf Kingdom's members is here, Loggerland City. According to their marching speed, I estimate that they will arrive here within three days." Maccon said, "Loggerland City is high and deep. It is extremely difficult to attack. If they have 20,000 soldiers, we still have a chance to take it down. However, if their 70,000 reinforcements arrive, no matter how many of us we have, it will be extremely difficult to take down the city. Basically, we have to deplete their supplies before we can take it down."
"You mean that we have to take down Loggerland City within three days, or else we will have no chance, right?" Li Huailin said.
"Yes, Marshal." Maccon nodded. "If we can't take down Loggerland City within three days, I suggest we turn north and join the First Legion to eliminate the Dwarf Kingdom's army. After that, we will return to reinforce the main city."
"I just went to the main city to take a look. It doesn't seem to be a big problem." Li Huailin said. "Taking down this city in three days? From what you said, it doesn't sound like it will be that easy."
"Yes, Marshal. To be honest, I don't have much confidence. Although they only have 20,000 soldiers, I still have to say that the city is too strong," Maccon said.
"Then let me see what kind of city it is," Li Huailin said. "Let's begin the march."
Following Li Huailin's command, the allied army immediately set off and marched west. It didn't take long for them to reach the vicinity of Loggerland City. Li Huailin looked forward and saw a huge city in front of him.
This was an exceptionally magnificent city, because this city was not built on flat land. Its south and north sides were both high mountains. The entire city seemed to be stuck between two mountains. Although it was called a city, it was more like a checkpoint. It just happened to be located on the main road between the east and the west.
The city was completely surrounded by a towering wall, and from where Li Huailin was facing, he could see a huge city gate. And this was the only gate that Li Huailin could see. Li Huailin guessed that because the north and south sides were both mountains, there were only gates on the east and west sides of the city. Naturally, Li Huailin couldn't go around the west gate, so he could only attack the east gate. This made the attack much more difficult.
"Marshal, there are so many people down there …" Maccon suddenly said as he pointed to the front.
Li Huailin looked forward and saw that the east gate of Loggerland City was now filled with people. Li Huailin took a closer look and saw that these people weren't Dwarven soldiers, but refugees that he had chased all over the place. They were probably preparing to enter the city.
"Oh, it seems like there's a chance. Prepare to attack," Li Huailin immediately said with a wave of his hand.
