The horn sounded.
The wind blew in his face, and there was a hint of killing intent in the coldness.
Woodrick couldn't help but recall when he had just joined the army when he was young. He had fought his way to the position of general of the Giant Dragon Army under the sound of the bugle horn like today. He was also once in the prime of his youth, but all of that might become a thing of the past today.
The general looked up into the distance.
The sky was just beginning to brighten. At the end of the vast land, a row of black silhouettes appeared, and then they gradually came over.
Just yesterday, Woodrick, who was in charge of the imperial capital's safety, received news that a monster army was quietly gathering near the old Great Wall. Woodrick did not dare to be negligent. He informed the eastern army, which had temporarily stopped fighting, and gathered the troops of the imperial capital. After a night of deployment, Woodrick arranged for an army of more than 100,000 people to use the new Great Wall as a line of defense. But even so, he was still not confident because there were more than 100,000 monsters gathered outside the old Great Wall.
At this moment, the horn changed again. Woodrick knew that it was a signal for the eastern army to arrive.
The army of the Coiling Dragon Empire did not violate the conditions of cooperation in the agreement at this critical moment.
The general of the Giant Dragon Army squeezed his horse's abdomen and the warhorse began to gallop along the new Great Wall. Behind Woodrick, inside and outside the new Great Wall were the 100,000 soldiers of the Bailey Empire. After experiencing the betrayal of the Sword Lord, the battle between the two princes in the northern and southern territories, and the invasion of the Eastern Empire, the Bailey Empire's army was no longer as strong as before. Many young faces could be seen in this defending army. These boys should be staying at home with their fathers, not standing on the battlefield. But now, the empire needed these young faces to protect them. Not long after, it was unknown how many of these people would have to lie on this battlefield forever, outside the Great Wall of the imperial capital. Thinking of this, Woodrick felt sad.
He pulled himself together and began to mobilize for the upcoming battle. "Once upon a time, our ancestors built the Great Wall to block the army of the Shadow Duchy outside. Today, we have a new Great Wall, and we will meet new enemies here. "
"Soldiers, I know that many people will die today. You may be fathers, husbands, or sons, but today, you are first and foremost soldiers of the empire! The gate of the empire needs you to protect it. If the gate falls, the monsters on the other side will rush into our homes without fear and tear your children, your wife, or your parents and brothers to pieces! For the empire, for our loved ones, I, Woodrick, beg you to die here! "
"I can't guarantee that every single one of you will be able to return. I can only guarantee that I will be one of those corpses!"
Woodrick raised his greatsword, Frost, and pointed it at the incoming Dark Tide. "Kill them all!"
Everyone inside and outside the Great Wall immediately responded, "Kill them all!"
On the left side of the battlefield, the Eastern army that had entered the battlefield began to get into formation. Right at the center of the battle formation, a war horse draped in bright red armor was especially eye-catching. Riding on the horse was a slightly plump man who looked to be in his middle age. His face was round, which made the armor on his body look tight and ridiculous. However, those who knew him wouldn't be able to laugh. This was because this man was the ever-victorious general of the Coiling Dragon Empire. He had the title of the Great Victory King!
Beside the Grand Victor Monarch, an imperial general whispered, "Your Highness, the monster army over there is coming with great ferocity. Do you think we should bide our time and see how the barbarians deal with them before making any further plans? "
The plump middle-aged Grand Victor Monarch laughed. Instead of answering, he asked, "Chang Gui, what do you think of the barbarians' momentum?"
The general named Chang Gui shook his head and said, "Even their generals know that they will definitely die in this battle. Don't be fooled by their imposing manner. Don't be fooled by their momentum, but if more than a third of them die, the army will lose their will to fight. At that time, they won't even have time to escape. How will they be able to stop this tidal wave of enemies? "
"I don't think so." The Grand Victor Monarch shook his head. "That General Woodrick, I can see the determination to die for his country in his eyes."
"So what?"
"If he is willing to die here, this army will not run away. Because the soul of the army is here." The Grand Victor Monarch continued, "Pass down my order. Later on, we will move together with the allied army. No one is to disobey this order. Anyone who disobeys will be executed on the spot!"
General Chang Gui was shocked.
The Grand Victor Monarch said indifferently, "If the allied army is finished, do you think we will be spared? Moreover, if the allied army is wiped out, we will have no chance of returning to the empire. Without the lips, the teeth will be cold, General Chang Gui. "
The general beside him lowered his head and replied, "Yes."
All of a sudden, the Grand Victor Monarch's expression changed.
Following which, General Chang Gui also sensed a peculiar aura rising from the battlefield. Three abnormally powerful auras soared into the sky, which were clearly released by the experts on the other side. The Grand Victor Monarch said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect there to be such ferocious existences among those monsters. This battle won't be easy."
The general's heart sank after hearing this. It was rare for the Grand Victor Monarch to speak so solemnly. If he said it wasn't easy, then it definitely wasn't. The general couldn't help but look toward the battlefield, and a giant dragon suddenly appeared in his line of sight. Despite the great distance, he could still see every detail of the dragon's body. From this, it could be seen how huge this creature was. This giant dragon appeared on the horizon, and moments later, a series of huge shadows appeared on its left and right. Although the giant beasts behind weren't as big as the dragon, they weren't small either. The flaming giant beasts were like moving hills as they entered the battlefield.
Following that, a giant with flaming wings appeared in the sky. It flew in midair, holding a flaming whip in its hand from time to time, drawing a circle pattern in the air.
Finally, there was a woman surrounded by flames. Wherever she went, there was a raging fire. It was impossible to ignore her.
The aura on the three of them was powerful and dense. When they released their aura together, the sky above the battlefield was suddenly covered in dark clouds.
Woodrick, who had also seen the three of them, sucked in a breath of cold air. The dragon, the giant, and the fire lady each had an aura comparable to that of the previous emperor, Tangerio, or even stronger than Tangerio.
How was he going to fight such a battle?
Thinking about it, Woodrick didn't hesitate. He raised his greatsword high and slashed down, "Charge!"
"Charge!"
The imperial cavalry followed Woodrick and began to charge, followed by the infantry and other types of troops. On the battlefield, the two sides' weapons met in the middle, clashing with each other like canine teeth. However, from the sky, the empire's army seemed somewhat weak.
