Chapter 549 "Divine Retribution"
If one doesn't take what the heavens give, they will be punished by the heavens.
This was Du Wei's point of view. Of course, this wasn't superstition, but Du Wei believed that opportunities were only given to those who were prepared. Moreover, this kind of opportunity that was bestowed by the heavens wouldn't appear often. If one missed this opportunity, who knows how long it would take to wait for the next one.
Moreover, in the document, Du Wei wrote it very clearly: "As a new type of army, the Air Force is still far from perfect in terms of absolute lethality. Its role in war is to cause panic and alarm to the enemy. It uses a completely unfamiliar method of attacking from the air to cause chaos to the enemy. However, this chaos is caused by the enemy's ignorance of the Air Force. Once this new army is used many times, it will no longer be able to give the enemy a psychological blow! This time, the enemy's camp will be in chaos. Next time, when they get used to it, they won't be so afraid anymore! "
In the document, Du Wei didn't hesitate to repeat all the tactics he knew about the Air Force. In fact, Du Wei was very clear that although he scolded Rostock for missing the opportunity, in the end, this couldn't be blamed on the old general.
The only thing to blame was that in this world, the Air Force was too advanced. Rostock was able to command the Tempest Legion for so many years, he was definitely not an idiot. Moreover, he was a good friend of his father, the late Earl Raymond. With his father's ability, to be qualified to be friends with his father, Old Rostock definitely had some skills.
The problem was that most of the Imperial Generals in this era had never fought in a war!
The reason why the Empire's most elite Tempest Legion was able to retain a certain amount of combat power was because they were stationed at the northern border all year round. Occasionally, they would exterminate some monsters or engage in small scale battles with small groups of smugglers and poachers. The soldiers of the Tempest Legion had more or less seen blood before, so their quality was relatively higher compared to the other Imperial Army troops.
Moreover, some of the generals of the Tempest Legion, starting from Old Rostok, had participated in the war against the grasslands thirty years ago. But that was the only experience they had.
After not fighting for a long time, even the most outstanding generals would gradually lose their keen sense of smell. They would lose their grasp of opportunities and become mediocre and conservative.
What's more, Rostock had never seen or used an air force before! Although the general had some experience in leading troops, he did not understand the Air Force at all — no one in this era did. From a conservative point of view, he was not willing to take the risk of sending ground troops for a surprise attack at night. This was because he did not trust the combat effectiveness of the air force. He needed to test whether this air force was worth the risk of sending his cavalry.
In the end … he lost such a good opportunity.
Du Wei knew that he couldn't blame Rostock.
However, he still chose to publicly criticize the commander of the Northern Alliance. At the same time, he also knew that if he were to write a letter attacking the commander of the Tempest Legion, who was also a good friend of his father, it would be easy to offend him.
But Du Wei had no choice! He had to do this! Du Wei had already guessed Rostock's thoughts. He was worried that this old general would still not pay attention to the Air Force in future wars. Then the army that he spent a lot of money to build would be completely wasted!
Since he personally went to the front line last time and told him, he didn't listen. Then Du Wei could only use this method to directly write a letter to the Regent! Then from the top, he would put pressure on Rostock and force this conservative old general to pay attention to the Air Force!
He had no choice but to do this.
In Du Wei's opinion, such a good opportunity would be hard to come by unless one was extremely lucky.
What a pity … what a pity …
— — —
Unfortunately, Du Wei's guess came true!
Missing such a good opportunity would indeed be punished by the heavens.
After missing that opportunity, it seemed that the good luck that the Empire had accumulated for a long time was all used up! Luck seemed to be gradually leaving the human army …
September.
According to the season of the Roland Empire, it was autumn.
But at the Kabaski Line of Defense in the north of the continent, the weather should be colder. According to the records of previous years, after October every year, the south of the Frozen Forest would start to frost. Occasionally, during particularly cold years, it would even start to snow at the end of October.
But this year … it seemed that even the heavens had started to take revenge on the humans!
"So strange. The weather this year doesn't seem to be as cold as before. "
Standing on the city wall, Reuenthal strictly completed the last round of inspection. Then he climbed up the tower and looked at the camp of the orcs from afar.
After the night of the air raid, the orcs hadn't attacked for many days. But these days, the orcs' army had been moving around, cutting down a large number of trees and rebuilding the camp that was destroyed in the air raid.
After many days of repair, the battle seemed to be in a stalemate.
It was already October, and the army had already distributed winter clothes … But now, on the city wall, most of the soldiers were still wearing their autumn clothes … It wasn't because of anything else, but because the winter seemed to have come especially late.
Obviously, it was already October. If it was in the past, in the north, the bone-chilling north wind would have been blowing day and night! The soldiers had already put on thick fur coats.
But now, not only did the weather not turn cold, but it was also slightly humid and hot … This was simply incredible!
The soldiers threw the winter clothes that were distributed to them in the barracks. The army that had already prepared for winter had also finished storing the food for winter. And the supply team at the rear had even prepared for the frost in advance … But the weather didn't seem to be turning cold at all!
Boring!
Very boring!
The clouds in the sky seemed to be getting thicker day by day. Standing on the city wall and looking up at the sky, it was as if the thick clouds in the sky were about to press down on the people's heads!
Such thick clouds … Was it going to snow?
But the weather wasn't cold, and it didn't seem like it was going to snow … In the past, there would be strong winds for many days before it snowed, but this year …
The slight cool wind blowing on the body was very comfortable. It didn't seem cold at all.
Reuenthal was faintly uneasy, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. He could only urge the soldiers to get ready for battle. The construction team also came up to repair the damaged parts of the city wall. At the same time, a large number of arrows and weapons were mobilized by the logistics officer.
Finally, on this night, when the sky was about to turn dark, the wind started to blow!
After a burst of wind, Reuenthal, who was on the city wall, felt relieved … It seemed that it was going to snow! It was good to snow! It was good to freeze those monsters who camped out in the open!
But after a while, Reuenthal immediately felt that something was wrong!
Why? The direction of the wind … didn't seem to be from the north?!
Standing in the wind, Reuenthal couldn't help but look up at the flag fluttering on the city wall. The direction of the flag fluttering … Reuenthal's eyes widened!
What the hell!!
South wind! It was actually the south wind!!!
Before the sky was completely dark, the sky was already covered with dark clouds! Then there was a clap of thunder. The first bolt of lightning in the clouds illuminated the sky and the earth!
Then there was more thunder and lightning in the clouds.
"What the hell … I've never seen thunder in winter." The soldiers on the city wall curiously looked up at the sky.
The clouds seemed to be getting thicker and lower …
Finally, after the first bolt of lightning and the sound of thunder, raindrops the size of soybeans suddenly fell from the sky!!
Then, rain began to fall from the sky, pouring onto the ground like a torrential downpour!!
The raindrops became denser and denser, falling on the armor of the soldiers, producing crisp and pleasant tinkling sounds. From afar, it was as if a thick curtain had been laid over the world, making everything look so gray and hazy.
The heavy rain soon blinded the eyes of the soldiers. They fiercely wiped their eyes, but the rain continued to fall. The air was so humid that they could hardly open their eyes!
What a heavy rain!!!
"It's raining? It … It's raining?!! " Reuenthal opened his eyes wide and muttered to himself. Then, his expression suddenly changed!
Not good!!!
— — —
The pitter-patter of heavy rain continued for an entire night. Throughout the night, the thunder above their heads boomed one after another. Waves of lightning also flashed without any signs of stopping!
The soldiers on the city wall were all soaked. Many of them fell sick the next day. Then, under the orders of the officers, the soldiers were given a chance to rest. Most of them were ordered to retreat to the tower to take shelter from the rain.
However, the rain continued to fall until dawn and did not seem to have any intention of stopping!
Fortunately, the Stronghold was built on high ground, so there was no water in the city. However, after a night of heavy rain, there was almost no dry place in the city.
On the second day … the rain seemed to have lessened, but it still continued to fall.
On the third day … the rain continued.
On the fourth day … the rain continued …
The rain continued on and off for a total of six days.
The originally dry and cold North became humid, and the air seemed to be filled with moisture. The soldiers of the Tempest Legion who lived in the North all year round were not used to such humid weather. The wet feeling made them feel as if water had entered their bodies. Their wet clothes stuck to their bodies, making them feel very uncomfortable.
Finally, on the morning of the sixth day, the Orcs attacked again!
The rain continued to fall. The soldiers of the Empire who heard the Orcs' attack horn immediately stood on the city wall and waited for the attack!
Raindrops fell on the people's bodies, armors, and weapons, creating countless fine water droplets. Raindrops flowed down from their foreheads, blurring their vision.
But at this time, the Orcs' phalanxes had reopened their camps.
The drums rapidly sounded, and the dense Beastmen formation followed the sound of horns. The Beastmen in the front row raised their shields and started charging towards the trenches under the city walls!
Originally, the trenches had been filled last time. After the fire, most of the fillings had been burned to ashes, so the trenches could be used again.
But now …
"Archers! Forty-five degrees! Shoot!! "
The observer gave the order. Behind the city wall, thousands of archers stood in the rain and tried their best to draw their longbows.
But this time, the vibration of the bowstring seemed so weak and powerless!
After a round of shooting, the arrows in the sky seemed so loose and weak. They fell crookedly to the ground, and most of them even deviated from their original directions!!
It could not be helped!
The continuous rain, the humid weather, and the soaking of the rainwater were the natural enemies of the archers!!
In rainy days, the corrosion of the rainwater and the damp weather would cause most of the bowstrings to become weak! It could be said that in the era of cold weapons, the rainy season was the natural killer of the archers!
In rainy days, the power of the archers would be reduced by at least 70%!
The originally strong bowstrings were still so weak under the control of the soldiers. Although many of the archers had changed to dry backup longbows, under the constant erosion of the rain, the bowstrings quickly became wet and soft …
The arrows that were shot crookedly could not cause any effective damage to the Orcs!
"Shoot!! Shoot!!! "Reuenthal roared angrily.
Under the loose rain of arrows, the Orcs easily ran to the front of the trenches. They did not suffer much damage, and in less than the time it took to eat a meal, they had already filled up the first trench!
Bags of sand were thrown into the trenches. After noticing that the arrows of the humans had lost most of their power in the rain, the second wave of Orc soldiers who came to fill up the trenches simply took off their heavy armor! Many Orcs even went bare-chested!!
More than 80% of the arrows had their shooting range reduced by a lot. The few arrows that could still hit the heads of the Orcs were scattered and weak. They could not form an effective area of effect at all.
At this moment, only the powerful ballistas in the towers on the city wall were still shooting, trying their best to cause sporadic damage to the Orcs.
The ballistas were shot using nooses, and the humidity of the rain did not affect the nooses too much. But the problem was that these powerful ballistas were more effective in penetrating the enemy rather than causing damage in a large area. The Orcs who rushed up to fill up the trenches were very efficient. Each arrow shot out would at most kill one or two Orcs. But … the number of ballistas was limited!!
Dozens of ballistas kept shooting, but the trenches were quickly filled up by the Orcs!
In the first battle, the Orcs had sacrificed thousands of lives to fill up the trenches under the cover of the sharp arrows of the humans!
But this time, they only suffered less than a hundred damage! In just one morning, the trenches that were 100 meters wide under the city wall had been filled up with sand!!
But the humans could do nothing about this situation!
In this kind of weather, even gunpowder attacks were useless! In such a bad rainy day, the air force hot air balloons at the back could not launch an effective attack on the enemy.
After the trenches were successfully filled up, the area that was once a death zone for the orcs had become a flat road! Shouts and cheers erupted from the Beastmen's camp!
Then, the bugle horn sounded, and the war drums beat. One by one, the Orc armored phalanxes slowly moved forward!!
"Get on the siege chariots!"
Bistin stood at the front of the formation and watched as the trenches were filled up. He could not help but praise the Orc God's blessing! This rain was too good!!
At the back, the Orcs shouted with all their might. Siege chariots that were tens of meters tall were pushed out!
These were the siege chariots that the dwarven craftsmen had rushed out recently.
The siege chariots that were tens of meters tall were at least 7 to 8 meters wide! Some were 20 meters tall, and the tallest one was over 30 meters tall! They were even slightly taller than the human city wall!
The wooden siege chariots were like towers. There was a chassis installed below, and round wooden wheels rolling. Under each siege chariot, there were hundreds of strong Orcs in tough armor pushing them. The siege chariots were covered with thick beast skins – this was originally to prevent the humans from using fire arrows. After all, wooden things were the most vulnerable to fire.
But looking at this rainy day … it seemed that there was no need to worry about fire!
Roar!
Roar!!
Roar!!!
Roar!!!!
Heavy shouts rang out one after another. Amidst the creaking sounds of rolling wooden wheels, dozens of towering siege chariots were slowly pushed to the front of the formation, pressing towards the human city walls!
Reuenthal, who was on the city wall, immediately sensed the threat of these huge moving towers!
From within the siege chariots, there were faint cries of Orcs, and from the gaps between the wooden wheels, there seemed to be a metallic glow!!
"Concentrate the ballistae!! Shoot down those moving wooden towers!! Quick!! "
Reuenthal struggled to throw off his helmet and personally ran down from the city wall!
"Ballistae! Quick! Order all the ballistae to concentrate their aim!! Shoot those wooden towers first! Quick!! "
Under his command, the ballistae operators in the human towers gave up on attacking the ground phalanxes and concentrated their firepower on the huge black moving wooden towers.
The ballistae fired powerful bolts one after another. The bolts were accurate enough to hit the slow-moving and huge wooden towers!
After a round of volley, the two siege chariots at the front had already been hit by three or four bolts. The ballistae's huge penetrating power had successfully pierced through the wooden towers! But the siege chariots of the orcs were huge and meticulously built by the dwarves. Although they were pierced in many places, their internal structure was still very strong! They did not collapse!
"Continue! Continue to shoot! What are you waiting for!! "
Seeing that the huge siege chariots were still standing firm and slowly moving toward the city wall, Reuenthal suddenly realized something. "Shoot at the chassis!!" he shouted. "Shoot at the chassis!!" he shouted. Shoot their chassis!! "
The ballistae on the city wall kept roaring. Amidst the noises of the nooses, the ballistae on the city wall fired with all their might.
Finally, after a while, the chassis of the first orc siege chariot was hit several times. The wooden wheels on the ground were destroyed and the wooden frame collapsed. After a while, the siege chariot finally collapsed!
Seeing the 20-meter-tall behemoth fall to the ground, the orc soldiers hiding in the huge wooden towers suddenly screamed. Most of the orcs inside had fallen to their deaths. However, there was only one damaged siege chariot on the battlefield. Most of the siege chariots had successfully forced their way to the city walls!
"Damn it! Once this battle was over, the logistics officer had to get a batch of catapults as soon as possible! Although they are primitive, they are much better than the ballistae against the moving wooden towers. "
Reuenthal fiercely wiped the rain on his face. He struggled to pull out his long sword, jumped out of the tower, and rushed towards the nearest siege chariot!!
These huge siege chariots could not be pushed to the city wall because of the 100-meter-wide trenches.
However, due to the rain, the humans' bows and arrows could not be used effectively. The enemy easily filled up the trenches, and this huge siege weapon was easily pushed to the front. This made the humans very passive when it came to their reactions!
Boom!!
When the siege chariots were close to the city wall, they fell towards the wooden wall on the city wall! There were huge metal hooks on the edges of the chariots, which hung heavily on the edge of the city wall!
The wooden wall suddenly turned into a wooden bridge!
Then, the orc soldiers hiding in the siege chariots roared and rushed out like a swarm of bees! They fiercely rushed towards the human soldiers on the city wall!!
The two groups of soldiers quickly collided with each other! The Orc warrior at the very front charged into the swords of the Humans with a fearless aura. With a final roar, he used his huge body and weight to smash holes in the Humans' defensive formation, one after another! The orc soldiers at the back immediately swarmed forward and tangled with the human defenders!
Swords and sabers collided. Screams and blood splattered everywhere!!
A Beastman relied on his valiant strength and smashed the helmet of a human soldier in front of him. The human soldier's head immediately burst open and he died miserably. But before the Beastman could turn around, a long sword had already pierced his throat!
Reuenthal fiercely pulled back his sword, and with a backhand slash, the edge of the sword glowed with fighting power. He chopped an Orc next to him from the head to the neck. Reuenthal's sword was so powerful that it almost split the Orc in half from head to neck. Then he kicked the corpse away and rushed toward the Orcs in front of him with a roar.
Chop! Chop! Chop! Chop!
Reuenthal was indeed a fierce general in the army. Under his leadership, the hundreds of orcs in the siege chariots were quickly annihilated!
But at this time, more and more siege chariots had reached the city wall! Wooden bridges were set up one after another, and teams of orcs rushed up the city wall!
At the same time, the square formation of the orcs below also erected ladder after ladder!
"Reserves!!!"
Reuenthal grabbed a shield and fiercely blocked a blow from a tall orc who was swinging an iron hammer. The powerful force caused him to take a few steps back. He bent his body and made full use of his advantage of being shorter than the orc. He threw himself into the orc's arms and at the same time, stabbed his long sword into the orc's heart!
He turned around and shouted behind him, "Let the reserves come up!! Quick!!! "
Killing was everywhere on the city wall! Every inch of land, every entry point, every wall, the human soldiers and the orc warriors were entangled with each other, fighting for every inch of land!!
Team after team of human reserve soldiers rushed up and quickly joined the battle. The chaotic battle on the city walls made the humans busy defending. As for the orcs, they took advantage of the positions occupied by the orcs in the siege chariots and used scaling ladders to quickly rush up the city walls!
The defensive order of the defenders had begun to become chaotic. The soldiers did not have time to care about the scaling ladders. The fierce fighting made it impossible for them to use stones and nails to deal with the orcs who were climbing the scaling ladders. In front, behind, left, and right, there were enemies everywhere. They were crowded together and swords were swinging at each other …
Soon, the city wall had become a huge meat grinder!!!
"Fourth infantry battalion, go to the left side of the city wall! Reuenthal needs support!! Sixth infantry battalion, reinforce the city gate! They will attack the city gate soon!! "
General Rostock had personally come to the frontlines. After the order of the city was disrupted, teams of reserve troops rushed up. There were massacres everywhere. The generals led their direct subordinates and worked hard to extinguish the dangerous flames on the city walls like firefighters.
Although there was a fierce battle on the city wall, Rostock didn't panic. The old general was still calm. It was far from the most dangerous time!
On the battlefield, a square formation of armored soldiers marched with heavy and orderly steps. They raised their shields and slowly advanced towards the city gate!
The city gate of the Stronghold was designed on a high slope. The slope was only a few meters wide and 50 meters long! Under normal circumstances, such a narrow slope would have become a path of death for the Orcs under the cover of the arrows of the human defenders!
But today, the scattered arrows could no longer cause any damage.
The square formation covered the armored shields and smoothly advanced to the city gate along the slope! Soon, after the shields were removed, the orcs hiding below pushed out their sharp weapons!
A battering ram revealed its ferocious appearance! On both sides of the wooden frame, iron chains were hooked to large, sharp wooden stakes. One end of the wooden stakes had been sharpened and covered with a layer of iron. The orcs pushed the wooden stakes with all their might. The powerful force and inertia caused the wooden stakes to be swung up high by the iron chains. Then, it slammed heavily against the city gate!
* Bang!
Bang!
Bang!!! *
The sound of the impact was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of the soldiers!
Although the city gate of the Stronghold was covered with a thick layer of iron with wooden planks that were two meters thick, the sound of the impact was enough to make one's heart tremble! Dust and wood shavings were shaken off!
"Attack!!!"
The imperial general in charge of guarding the city gate immediately gave the order!
The imperial soldiers who were guarding the city gate immediately poured down barrels of kerosene that they had prepared through the gap left on the arched city gate!
Then, torches were thrown on the heads of the orcs, and the flames immediately soared into the sky!
The orcs screamed miserably as they were burned. Some struggled with all their might and rolled down from the sides of the slope.
However, the orcs behind them immediately rushed forward to replace their companions and continued to push the battering ram!
Short crossbows! Spears!
The city gate had an advanced design. The arched city gate had a gap on top that allowed the defenders to attack. The soldiers took out their short crossbows and used the gap to wildly fire at the orcs below the city gate. Although it was raining and most of the short crossbows had lost their power, the human soldiers still stubbornly resisted!
If the short crossbows did not work, then they would use spears! The spears were fiercely thrust out from the opening, piercing through the orcs' bodies one by one. There were also rolling nails that fell down from above!
The orcs screamed miserably as team after team of orc warriors were swallowed up by the city gate. Behind them, large groups of orcs continued to advance … the humans were lucky that the design of the slope was only a few meters wide. This made it so that the orcs were unable to send too many soldiers to attack the city gate at once. They could only be strangled to death by the city gate!
"Mobilize the ballistae!" The general in charge of guarding the city gate gave the order! Have the ballistae on the city wall aim at the battering ram and fire! "
The battle continued all the way until evening. The beastmen had sent in over 20 armoured square formations to attack. There were a few times when danger appeared on the city walls, but the brave soldiers of the Tempest Legion risked their lives to reclaim the lost areas of the city walls!
From the fierce battle until evening, more than six infantry battalions (the empire's army had a total of 3,000 soldiers) had been used as reserves to attack the battering ram. Blood flowed like a river on the city wall! Broken corpses and flesh were everywhere. Under the washing of the rain, the puddles and blood on the ground of the city wall had mixed together! Stepping on the muddy ground still gave one goosebumps! Broken branches and broken arms were everywhere, as well as mangled flesh! Life after life was swallowed up, and team after team of warriors went up to defend the city wall.
The top of the city wall had once been lost. A few orcs had activated their berserk skill and repelled the defenders on the city wall, cutting down the Thorned Flower flag on the city wall! But soon, Reuenthal, a fierce general, led a few of his Intermediate Knight to charge back and recapture the city wall! They once again raised the Thorned Flower flag!
Reuenthal was injured. He had been stabbed in the shoulder by a high-level orc warrior who had gone berserk. His shoulder blade had been cut off. If it were not for the fact that the armor worn by the Imperial Generals was of the highest quality, Reuenthal would have lost his life there and then.
Although he had lost a lot of blood and could barely stand, he still firmly held onto the Thorned Flower flag on the city wall! The Thorned Flower Flag didn't fall even once beside his majestic body!
When the sky was getting dark, the humans finally recaptured all the city walls. However, they had paid a heavy price: three infantry battalions had been wiped out and two infantry battalions had been completely destroyed!
After the orcs lost their stronghold on the city wall, their reinforcements could not successfully climb up the city wall, so they finally chose to retreat!
On the high slope below the city gate, the rain had washed away the bloodstains on the ground over and over again! The battering ram had been destroyed by the ballista, and there were still flames on the wreckage. The raging fire could not be extinguished even by the rain.
When the horn sounded, the orc general Bistine, who was standing at the front of the formation, had a gloomy expression. He had lost several of his armoured square formations, and a few rhinoceros warriors had also died on the city wall. Due to the weather, the trolls could not be sent to the battlefield. (The trolls raised by the orcs had a natural weakness, which was that they were very afraid of thunder. In this kind of rainy and thunderous weather, the trolls were unwilling to move forward. This made Bistine feel very helpless.)
This battle could be said to be tragic. The humans had suffered great losses, but the orcs did not have it easy either. More than 8,000 orc warriors had died, and countless more were injured. On this day, 20 armoured square formations were sent in, but less than 5 of them were barely intact.
Night fell. On the city wall, the defenders were nervously cleaning up the battlefield. Corpses were carried down one by one. As for the orcs' corpses, they were pushed down the city wall. The rain washed over the city wall repeatedly, but it still seemed to be covered in a layer of miserable blood red!
"This damn rain!" Rostock gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.
In the fortress, priests and doctors were anxiously treating the wounded soldiers. Screams of agony could be heard everywhere. Rostock forcefully supported his tired body and went to the wounded barracks to take a look. Looking at the soldiers who were crying out in pain, his heart sank.
"We need the magicians to help us." He sighed. "Send someone to meet the magicians. Since they came to the frontline, they can't always be masters there! And Holy Order … "
"General, Holy Order is cavalry … Defending the city is the job of the infantry. Cavalry should be reserved for field battles, "a general reminded.
"We need advanced warriors to form a sharp blade." Rostock gritted his teeth. "Those monsters are too strong!"
The old general was very angry. Today, in order to save several dangerous situations, he even sent out a sharp knife team formed by officers. This was because only officers with the strength of mid-ranked warriors could fight against the high-level orc warriors head-on.
As a result, he lost six senior commanders and two deputy commanders!
After saying that, Rostock looked at the sky. The disgusting rain continued.
"Damn God … When will this rain stop?!"
— — —
It was raining …
Du Wei stood in front of the window. His face was very gloomy.
Most of the northern regions of the empire were covered by the rain! The rain had even spread to two hundred miles to the south of the imperial capital!
In the history of the empire, it was rare to see such a large area of rain in cold weather … It had almost never happened before!
"God's wrath?" Du Wei smiled bitterly in his heart.
However, the human continent should be the territory of the Goddess of Light!
Du Wei was very clear that this kind of rainy season would bring a lot of trouble to the frontline! In the design of the Kaspersky Defense Line, there were many designs that could make use of fire to attack the city. Moreover, in the north, the annual rain season was very short! Only between April and May every year would there be a few days of light rain!
For most of the seasons, the north was cold and dry!
Du Wei also knew that once it rained, one of the sharpest weapons of the humans, the elite bows and arrows, would lose most of its power! Moreover, the Kaspersky Defense Line that had many fire attack facilities would also lose a lot of its functions.
There was also the hot air balloon, which could not be used in this kind of bad weather …
However … the Goddess of Light … the Goddess of Light, the Goddess of Light, shouldn't she do something?
From the beginning of the war until now, whether it was preparing for war or fighting, it was done by the humans themselves … many of the things were done by Du Wei!
Then, what was that bitch, the Goddess of Light, doing? Was she just sitting on the sidelines and watching?
No matter what, this was still "her territory"!
The sinners had destroyed the Dragons, occupied the Holy Mountain, and killed their way into the human world. Was this Goddess of Light not doing anything?
Ten days later, a war report arrived in Du Wei's hands!
The north had been raining non-stop for more than ten days!
The orcs had launched a large-scale attack. The frontline army had resisted with their lives. In six days, they had repelled more than ten attacks! The Tempest Legion had lost a total of more than 36,000 soldiers. The number of wounded had reached more than 9,000 – this number did not even include minor injuries! The number of wounded in the war report was those who had lost their ability to fight after being seriously injured!
"I will be leaving for a few days."
Finally, on this night, Du Wei came looking for Gabriel. He gave him some instructions regarding the matters of the academy and left behind a training plan.
That night, the Duke of the Tulip Family quietly left the Imperial Capital. No one in the academy knew where he was going.
Facing the night wind, Du Wei's figure flew through the air. His direction was … east!
"The Demon Horn will allow you to use magic. The Eyes of Charm will allow you to become the natural enemy of women … naturally, this is just a small gift from me. In exchange, you must complete the conditions I have stated. This is only the first part of our deal. After you complete the first part of the deal, if you are interested, you can come find me. I will give you more things. "
A few years ago, on the island outside the East Sea, the old man who claimed to be the Demon Servant had said those words to Du Wei.
No one knew about that deal.
Even after Du Wei left the island, he had already made up his mind to not think about that ridiculous deal.
In the end, what did Du Wei use to exchange for the Demon Horn and the Eyes of Charm from the Demon Servant?
This secret had always been hidden deep in Du Wei's heart. Because he had always regarded that deal as a joke!
It was really … a very, very funny joke!
That condition … was too absurd.
If …
If time was described as a long river, then let's temporarily turn back the river.
Let's take a screenshot of the time period from a few years ago …
At that time, the young boy who claimed to be the Demon Servant had his mouth wide open after hearing the contents of the deal. He could not say a word for a long time.
"After you complete this deal, you can come find me again. Then, I will give you more things. "
"But how can you guarantee that the things you give are what I need?" At that time, Du Wei had looked at the old man with some disdain.
"Hehe, boy, you have to understand that in many legendary stories, there are some pitiful people who are tempted by demons … Do you know why? Because most of the time, gods are stingy. Gods will not satisfy the needs of people … But demons will! As long as you pay enough, you can. And … as my only customer now, you will get my preferential conditions. Believe me, you will come to me again. "
What gods could not give to humans, demons could!
"To be honest, I really hate your sneaky tone."
At that time, Du Wei said this to the Demon Servant very presumptuously.
"Hehe, you will like me, and you will like the deal with me … I even know that you must have made up your mind to break the contract once you leave this island. You will not come to me again to fulfill the deal … But I am sure, even if you think so now, you will still come here!" At that time, the wrinkled Old Chris had looked at Du Wei with a sinister smile.
"Hmm, how do you know?"
"Because I just know." Old Chris's answer was like the clouds and the sea. "Everything is predestined! Aragon came here a thousand years ago, and you came here now! But unfortunately, Aragon made a mistake. He broke the contract and did not come to me again, so he failed. But I believe that you will not make such a mistake again. "
At that time, Du Wei was at a loss. "Aragon broke the contract, but I can't? Are you so sure? "
"I am sure."
…
…
What was the answer?
It wasn't until Du-Wei confirmed his identity that he finally understood the meaning of old Chris's words: Aragon's mistake, he won't make the same mistake again! Aragon had failed to break the contract, so he would not break the contract again.
Because Aragon was him, and he was Aragon! A smart person wouldn't make the same mistake twice!
In that case, it was even more obvious that Old Chris knew that he was Aragon's!
He had known!
But why did Du Wei not go to Chris?
Because …
He did not want to be Aragon! He did not want to shoulder that bullshit mission and destiny! He had always been running away and trying to get rid of it!
Now, after the Dragons were destroyed, Du Wei did not go to see Chris. Because he believed that this world belonged to the Goddess, and the Goddess would stand up to protect her territory!
When the sinners attacked the human world, Du Wei remained silent. He even took the initiative to hand over his military power and quietly stayed in the rear, training the rookie officers and living a leisurely life. Because he still believed that the Goddess would not allow the sinners to come back! She was a Goddess, and these matters should be under her control. When the time comes, the Goddess would stand up.
But when the war began and the humans were in a bitter struggle, Du Wei remained silent …
And now, it was raining continuously in the North!
Du Wei could no longer sit still!
What a joke! Could it be that the change in climate was a coincidence?
The climate of the continent had been stable for hundreds of years, and now it was raining in the North! Continuous rainy weather in winter … this was definitely not a natural occurrence!
Goddess, what kind of game is this bitch playing?
"What Gods cannot give to humans, demons can," Du Wei harrumphed and said, "Chris, you old prisoner, you better not be messing with me!"
A figure flashed through the sky like a meteor and flew toward the vast sea …

Fragment: A few years ago, inside the mysterious island.
The youngster stroked the short horn on his forehead in surprise. Then, he cast a peculiar look at the old man who was as thin as a skeleton before him and asked, "What do you want me to give you?"
"I only have two conditions. First, I want a creature with a pair of holy wings and a pure soul. This kind of creature is very difficult to find in this world … But I know that you will definitely encounter it one day in the future. Second … I need a badge. Don't ask me what badge it is. When the time comes, you will know what badge it is. You will know that it is the one I want. As for the third … "
The old man suddenly revealed a wicked smile and said, "When you come back, you must complete one thing."
"What is it?"
"You must get rid of your virginity, kid!"
Without a doubt, the last condition was simply absurd! However, when he said the last condition, the old man's expression became particularly serious! It was even filled with a sacred aura …
What the hell!
