"Five thousand? The supply troops of the Human Empire? Is the information reliable? "
Somewhere on the border between Maple Moon Free Territory and the Western Territory, All-Star Can looked at the player who delivered the information and asked cautiously.
Behind him, nearly fifteen thousand players were stationed in a hidden forest, waiting for orders at any time.
This was the main force of All-Star Can's army, as well as one of the core troops of the All-Star Guild.
After the start of the war, apart from the fifty thousand players left behind to help defend the city, the remaining hundred thousand players were divided into small troops like this, scattered all over the place, and entered the Empire.
"Brother Can, it's true. The first person to provide the information was the innkeeper of Black Date Town. There are players from our guild who preached in the villages near Black Date Town. The innkeeper had long been developed into a believer of Life by him. He was also the first to discover the enemy's presence and came to report."
The innkeeper said.
All-Star Can raised his eyebrows.
"So … there's a second person who provided the information?"
"That's right. About half a day after the innkeeper provided the information, there were also people who saw the Empire's army in the towns south of Black Date Town. The believer of Life that we developed there reported that there were thousands of Empire's soldiers moving south. It's almost the same as what the innkeeper of Black Date Town said."
The innkeeper continued.
Hearing this, All-Star Ah Can grinned.
"Then it seems to be true."
Saying so, he looked at the newbie Guild players behind him and smiled.
"See, this is the benefit of developing companions in the Human Empire. It's time for us to teach the nobles of the Holy Mania Empire a lesson about the vastness of the people's war."
"Brother Can, if you plan to attack, you have to be quick. This information is no longer a secret. The troops of the other nearby guilds probably already know about it. I heard that Demacia of Nature's Heart also knows. If we're late, it might be too late!"
The innkeeper reminded.
All-Star Can's expression turned solemn as he nodded in agreement.
Nature's Heart had the Amway Chamber of Commerce, which had subordinates all over the Human Empire.
And this time, it was said that the president of the Amway Chamber of Commerce, Demacia, had also brought the army behind the enemy lines. There were more than 20,000 people and they were strolling around the east side of the Maple Moon Free Territory.
The distance wasn't too far, and Nature's Heart's cavalry unit was made up of Magic Beasts that had great endurance. If they were too late, they might be able to snatch the Magic Beasts first.
This won't do. I have to hurry up. After all, the northern war zone is the responsibility of the All Stars!
With this thought in mind, All-Star Ah Can's gaze became even more resolute.
He took a deep breath, logged into the army's battlefield command channel, and then pulled out his magnificent command sword, pointed it to the sky, and shouted, "Everyone, get ready!"
"Brothers! It was time for work! Everyone, follow me! I'll take you guys to do something big! "
Then, he looked at the player who delivered the message.
"Inform the brother who reported the news to quickly join the army and keep an eye on the enemy's movements!"
…
In the south of the Western Territory, on the main road leading to the Maple Moon Free Territory.
The majestic army of the Empire was slowly advancing while escorting the heavy equipment.
It was the army of the Wagner family.
Viscount Wagner was sitting in a magnificent carriage.
He looked through the window at the gradually darkening sky and lightly knocked on the carriage door.
"Sir, what orders do you have?"
Outside the carriage, the personal guard hurriedly came over and respectfully asked.
"How long until we reach Augus City?"
Viscount Wagner asked elegantly as he took out his gorgeous pocket watch and looked at it.
"A day and a half at most. If we don't rest tonight, we can go even earlier."
The personal guard respectfully replied.
Viscount Wagner slightly nodded.
"How long until we reach the next town?"
He asked again.
"Sir, the closest town to here should be Little Rock Town on the border, but during the rebellion of the Maple Moon Free Territory, that town was already slaughtered by the Evil Cultists. It should be a dead town now."
The personal guard replied.
Viscount Wagner slightly frowned.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "Don't rest.
"Then let's not rest anymore. Let's go around the town at full speed and meet up with the duke first. I've heard that undead often appear in towns that have been massacred. Although it's not a big problem, it will still be troublesome."
The personal guard nodded.
"Yes, Sir."
After the order was given, there was a slight disturbance in the army.
But after the noble knights took care of a few people who stood out, the disturbance quickly calmed down.
The five-thousand-strong army continued to move south.
The sun set in the west and night gradually fell.
The main road gradually fell into darkness, but the soldiers lit torches and continued forward.
From a distance, the five-thousand-strong army looked like a long fire dragon crawling in the darkness.
The road gradually wound, and the wheat fields on both sides gradually turned into hills and forests.
The Wagner family's army was already close to the border of the Western Territory.
But at this time, there was a sudden disturbance in front of the army. The entire army paused and slowly came to a stop.
The heavily protected carriage came to a sudden stop, and Viscount Wagner, who was resting on his plush bed, was startled awake.
Hearing the commotion outside the carriage, he frowned and opened the curtains.
"What happened?"
"Sir, the road ahead is blocked by some large rocks. Knights have already been arranged to clean them up."
The personal guard came over and reported.
"Rocks?"
Viscount Wagner was taken aback.
He instantly sobered up. His expression suddenly became vigilant as he muttered, "That's right.
"Why are there rocks here?"
He put on his overcoat and got out of the carriage with the help of his attendants.
It was late spring in the Segers World. The night wind was cool and the moon was bright.
Viscount Wagner frowned as he looked at the ten-odd rocks in front of the army.
This was a hilly area, and the main road was in a depression between the hills. On both sides were lush forests.
Birdsong came from the forest, accompanied by the rustling of leaves in the night wind. It was a little creepy in the deep night.
Viscount Wagner's gaze wandered between the rocks and the forest on both sides, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Not good! There's an ambush here! "
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp whistle came from the forest on both sides.
Accompanied by a furious roar, arrows shot out from the forest on both sides, forming a dense rain of arrows that slanted downwards.
Screams rang out one after another, and the Wagner Family's army fell into a panic.
Then, excited shouts came from both sides, accompanied by the roars of beasts. Scarlet eyes like red lanterns slowly lit up.
One after another, black figures leaped out. They were ferocious demonic beasts.
On their backs, fully armed elves brandished their weapons and quickly charged into the panicked imperial army.
"Cavalry! It's the cavalry of the elves! "
An imperial noble cried out in panic.
But then, he let out a mournful scream as he was cleaved in two by an elven warrior.
The sounds of battle could be heard everywhere, and a bitter fight broke out on the narrow path.
Viscount Wagner watched in shock and fear as more and more elves emerged from the forest on both sides.
He knew that he couldn't completely hide his whereabouts, and that the elves would find out sooner or later.
But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand. He had clearly been rushing the entire time, and he had deliberately avoided the villages near the Vimur River. Even if the elves knew his whereabouts, he should have already met up with the Duke by then. How could he have been ambushed by the elves in advance?
Of course, he didn't know that players with the game system didn't need time to send messages.
After discovering the enemy, a message from a friend was enough.
More and more elves emerged from the forest on both sides and killed their way into the imperial army.
Flames lit up everywhere, caused by magic and fire arrows. Some unlucky soldiers had their clothes set ablaze and turned into flaming men. They screamed as they struggled, but their struggles only caused more chaos, and the fire spread even more.
Gradually, the long supply line was engulfed in a sea of fire.
Viscount Wagner's body trembled in anger as he looked at the countless tall figures in the army, his expression turning nastier and nastier.
"Lord Viscount! We can't hold on! Elves! There are elves everywhere! I'll cover you, quickly run! "
In order to protect the viscount, the knight who had already been hit by several arrows cried out in alarm.
But in the next moment, a sharp sword pierced through his chest, accompanied by the sound of a longsword piercing through flesh.
Blood splattered all over Viscount Wagner's face. Looking at the knight who had been killed by the sword of an elf, his expression finally revealed a trace of fear.
His personal knight had the strength of a Lower Gold rank.
To be able to kill his personal knight in one strike, it meant that the other party was even stronger!
Viscount Wagner let out a strange cry and hurriedly rolled to the ground, fleeing toward the rear of the army.
But he didn't escape too far before he felt a pain in his neck.
In the next second, he felt as if he was flying.
He seemed to have seen a body wearing the same clothes as him, but that body didn't have a head, and blood was gushing out from the neck.
"Ah …"
"This is … me?"
Viscount Wagner was stunned, and his vision fell into darkness.
…
When the first ray of sunlight pierced through the darkness and illuminated the earth through the gaps in the forest, the ambush on the western border was completely over.
On the main road between the hills, broken supply wagons were still burning with black smoke, and some had fallen to the ground. Dark red blood dyed the ground red, and scattered corpses, armor, and equipment could be seen everywhere.
Tall figures shuttled back and forth between the hills, either excitedly picking up equipment or inscribing magic formations in a corner, silently chanting something.
The five thousand troops belonging to the Wagner Family had been completely annihilated.
When All-Star Ah Can arrived with his guild's army, this was the scene that greeted him.
He stared blankly for a moment, and his gaze paused on the Iris Flower flag fluttering among the elves, and a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Can, it's Nature's Heart's army. It's probably Demacia. We seem to have arrived a step too late."
The player next to All-Star Ah Can bitterly smiled as he passed on the information.
All-Star Ah Can nodded. His gaze continued to wander around the battlefield, and he quickly discovered a very recognizable figure with a red afro.
When he saw the other party, the other party also saw him. Bursts of laughter could be heard, and this heavily armored elven warrior with a mischievous smile walked in front of him.
"Hahahaha, isn't this All-Star Can? Sorry, sorry, we were a step too early, so we swallowed this army! "
"Demacia, you're really fast."
All-Star Ah Can bitterly smiled.
"Heh, of course. When these bastards left Morning Star City, our Amway Chamber of Commerce had their eyes on them."
Demacia had a smug expression.
"How's the harvest? I heard this is a supply army? "
All-Star Ah Can enviously asked.
"Hehehe, we were lucky and got quite a few Magic Crystal Cannons."
Demacia had a smug expression on his face.
"F * ck! Then didn't you guys get rich? Speaking of which, everyone has a share. Brother Mu said this area belongs to us All-Stars. Aren't you going to show some appreciation? "
All-Star Ah Can stretched out his hand and rubbed his thumb.
Demacia laughed as he scolded.
"In your dreams. First come, first served. However, we can sell you some things at a low price. With so many Magic Crystal Cannons, we won't be able to take them all away in a short time."
"Bah, profiteer!"
"Hahaha, just tell us if you want it or not!"
The commanders of the two large guilds were haggling.
At this moment, an excited voice came from the direction of the battlefield.
"Demacia, Demacia! Quick, look at what I found! "
It was a player from Nature's Heart.
He ran over excitedly with something in his hand.
"Hm?"
Demacia and All-Star Ah Can's gazes were filled with curiosity.
The excited player quickly ran over and handed over a piece of parchment. On it was written in the common language of the Segers Continent.
Demacia took it and read it.
With the help of the game system, he could read the words on it. After reading the contents, his eyes gradually lit up.
"The list of nobles participating in the Northern Army and the size of the army? Eh? And the map of the nobles' territories? Wow — this is good stuff! "
Demacia rolled his eyes, then suddenly turned his head and looked at the All Star Ah Can.
He suddenly laughed mischievously and asked:
"Mr. Can, how many people did you bring this time?"
"Fifteen thousand. After running all the way here, there are still fourteen thousand left … What, what do you want?"
All-Star Ah Can asked suspiciously.
Demacia let out a perverted laugh and winked at him.
"Mr. Can, I heard that the pressure on your side is quite high. Do you want to make some big news to ease the situation?"
… …
Two days later, outside Augus City.
The army was pressing down on the city walls.
The commander of the Empire's Northern Army, the current Duke Rosen, Joseph, looked at the numerous Magic Crystal Cannons on the city walls. He then looked at the sky and frowned.
"It's been two days … That guy Wagner still hasn't arrived?"
