Once the number of jackals increases, the orcs cannot control them. They will go looking for food on their own and even attack the orcs when they are hungry.
So when the jackal pack broke out that year, the orcs themselves suffered, and several neighboring countries were also affected to varying degrees.
at this time.
After Amabel was attacked by jackals, an army of orcs soon appeared from the other side of the canyon.
Ash clicked on the army information and found that it was a team led by a group of lion-men. He couldn’t see the number and attributes of the troops, but their strength was definitely not weak because there were also minotaurs in the army.
In the Orc Kingdom, the Tauren are a very special type of soldier. Judging from strength alone, the Tauren are even stronger than the Lionmen. However, this race is not very smart, so they are destined not to become the king.
[In mid-July 1782, the beastman commander Bata led his troops into the Grand Canyon to stop Amabel.]
In the interface, the lion orc Bata is nearly two meters tall, with a broad back and strong arms, and his body is covered with extremely lush hair.
[‘Warriors of the beast tribe, tear apart these hypocritical humans and tell them who is the true king of this continent! ‘]
Bata roared.
[The orc commander uses the famous skill ‘Beast Blood Boils.’]
i
Immediately afterwards, pieces of blood-red halos fell, and behind the orc army stood a row of shamans who were granting buffs.
The power released by the shaman can activate the bloodline power of the orcs and greatly enhance their strength.
In addition, Ash also saw a special pattern appearing on the orc army – a circle with a ball of fire burning in the middle and some messy stripes covering the edges.
[The Orc Commander uses the power of the totem. Within five action rounds, all Orc soldiers’ attack power increases by 20%. ]
Fire Totem, a totemic power commonly used in the Orc Kingdom.
It is not the strongest among all totems, but the 20% attack increase is real, which is particularly effective for the Orc army.
But Amabel, the Iron-blooded Grand Duke, was not at all weak. He was invincible and rushed to the front, leading the Iron-blooded Legion to attack.
In addition to being able to unleash powerful power through sacrifice, the relic of the Edels Blade can also give the user an additional ability – bloodsucking. Of course, it is not directly drinking the opponent’s blood, but gaining abilities through killing to make up for physical consumption, which is similar to Ash’s understanding of the blood-sucking knife.
The side effect is that one is easily affected by bloodthirsty killing. The more one kills, the crazier one becomes, and the crazier one becomes, the more one kills. This is why Amabel has the potential to become the Chosen One of Khorne.
This woman was born to kill!
Amabel’s fighting style is different from Margarian’s. She seems more wild and domineering. At this time, she rushed into the orc army and slashed wildly. The Edels blade swung quickly in her hand. Every slash could easily take the life of an orc soldier. The smile on Amabel’s face became more arrogant under the stimulation of the splattering blood. In just a few minutes, she rushed from the front line to the back of the orc army.
Edels’s battle blade ignited the red blood mist. Amabel jumped high with the battle axe in her hand and threw it from the air. The battle axe turned into a red burning meteor and fell, bombarding the group of shamans in the orc army, causing a shocking explosion!
With one strike, almost all the Orc Shamans were wiped out!
Then Amabel landed, reached out to pull out the battle axe that was stuck in the ground, and rushed towards the orc commander Bata without hesitation.
The beastmen around Bata rushed up one after another, but were killed by Amabel one after another. Hundreds of troops besieged her alone, but they couldn’t stop her at all! With the blood-sucking effect, Amabel could almost keep fighting.
[Phyllis: This is… too crazy, right? The battlefield commander rushed to the front. If she died, wouldn’t the team be doomed? ]
[Irelia: The premise is that the orcs can kill her, otherwise her tactics are the most direct and effective. ]
[Phyllis: The people in the Ice Kingdom are all crazy. ]
Phyllis had to admit that Amabel’s tactics were effective. Her heroic performance greatly boosted the morale of the army. Later, she killed Bata while surrounded by hundreds of elite orc guards.
Immediately afterwards, the orc totem was cut off with an axe.
Without the support of various buffs, the strength of the Orc Legion suddenly dropped sharply, and Bata’s death brought the morale of the Orcs to a low point.
[In mid-July 1782, Amabel led his army to defeat the orcs, beheaded the orc commander Bata, and killed 7 orc soldiers.]
[‘An orc is nothing more than a creeping thing standing up.’ – Amabel]
“Not bad, not bad. It’s not in vain that I spent so much time on teaching.”
Seeing this, Ash smiled.
But the good times didn’t last long, and the Ice Kingdom, which was flourishing in all directions, finally encountered an obstacle.
【At the end of July 1782, Queen Esde was defeated and led more than 7 remaining troops to retreat to the city of Skada.】⑸
“Defeated?”
Ash raised his eyebrows.
Esde brought a full 50,000 troops with her. With her ability, even if she couldn’t defeat the Holy See Army, she should be able to defend it.
He clicked on the battle information and took a look.
It was discovered that among the 60,000 troops attacking the Holy See, there were 20,000 Punishment Knights, in addition to two powerful arms – Holy Inquisitors and Protectors. ⑵
The Inquisitor is an advanced priest class. In addition to recovery and buffs, it also has powerful magic attack capabilities.
The Vindicator is an advanced version of the Sword and Shield Infantry. Like the Tomahawk Soldier, they are all heavily armored infantry, but they still wield a sword and shield, and their attack and defense capabilities have been greatly increased.
These two types of troops are extremely suitable for fighting in the Beast Realm. It is obvious that the Holy Court had thrown these troops into the Beast Realm before.
[In early August, Cardinal Orff led his army to attack the city of Skadar.]
[‘You heretics have no idea how much the Holy See has paid to protect the stability of the continent. Since you cannot understand our actions, then under the iron armor and the flames of war, you will become rootless undead souls in hell! ‘——Orff]:
[In early August, the city of Skada was captured, and Esde retreated to the city of Char.]
The kingdom’s border was lost and the army was defeated!
After Esde’s defeat, noble forces from all over the territory of Shaya City led their troops to block the Holy See. However, these local armies were only good enough to fight against nomads and orcs, but they were far from being able to fight against the elite troops of the Holy See.
In less than three rounds of operations, the casualties of the troops in various places exceeded 10,000.
[Phyllis: @Acede, how come you are not even as good as Vene? You can’t even defend the city. ]
[Irelia: It’s not all your fault, His Highness Esde. The army sent by the Holy See this time is a little too strong… But now that the southern defense line of the Arctic Ice has been lost, the Holy See will definitely head straight for the Royal City. Queen Margarian and Grand Duke Amabel didn’t have time to withdraw their defenses, and the same goes for the others.]
Among the attacking army of the Arctic Ice Kingdom, there are 60,000 troops from Magarian, 60,000 from Amabel, 30,000 from Lacras and other three armies, plus the 30,000 garrison troops stationed in the Principality of Amus, which makes a total of 240,000 troops.
Esde had previously brought 50,000 men to stop the Holy See. These men together accounted for almost all the troops that the Arctic Ice Kingdom could mobilize. Right now, apart from the armies in the hands of local nobles, there were only 20,000 troops left in the entire kingdom to defend the royal city.
The private armies of nobles in various places cannot move. Firstly, it is difficult to stop the Holy See. Secondly, once there are no soldiers inside the territory, the nomadic peoples will immediately disperse their combat forces to attack this side.
“asshole!”
Esde stared at the simulation interface with a grim face.
Among several armies, she was the only one who was defeated!
If she loses here, the kingdom’s border will be lost, which will affect the entire war situation.
She is going to become a sinner of the Arctic Ice Kingdom!
“How could I be… so embarrassed!”
Esde clenched her fists tightly. This was not a simulation, but a manifestation of her ability. As ‘Esde Ice Emperor Elkovic’ herself, the her in the simulation was exactly herself… no, she should even be much stronger than she is now.
With so many attributes improved, she should be invincible leading the kingdom’s army, but the reality is that her defeat has put the Arctic Ice Kingdom into an embarrassing situation.
Looking at the Holy See army advancing all the way, Esde felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Damn it, why couldn’t she be as good as her mother Margarion and become a hero of the kingdom?
[In August 1782, Queen Venet led an army of 8 to attack the Holy See.]
On the strategic map, the Benician army crossed the border in a mighty force and headed towards the city of Saint Ino, which was under the name of the Holy See.
[Felice: Hey, hey, hey! Vene, do you want to end the game? Your own country is not stable yet, and you just bring 100,000 people out. Don’t you want the kingdom anymore?]
[Vene: Ash, my prince, I am here!!]
【Phyllis: …】
No, you are in a simulation, not reality. Ash is now Ace’s man, and he doesn’t know you. Are you just having fun here?
If you have this energy, you might as well stabilize Benicia. Maybe you can take advantage of the chaos to build an empire!
Right now, both the East Continent and the North are in chaos, but the chaos in the North is obviously much greater. Since the Holy See withdrew its troops in the East Continent, Weine led the remaining troops to strike back and took back all the lands previously occupied by various countries.
But the situation was not stable yet, and people’s livelihood and economy in various places had not recovered. At a command from Wei Nei, she led an army of 100,000 to attack again.
You know, in order to increase the number of troops, Wei Nei maintained all the data of the kingdom at a relatively low level. If there was no stability, she would increase the stability and then increase the number of troops. If there was no economy, she would develop the economy and then increase the number of troops… This situation is actually very dangerous.
After all, Vene is not like Ash, who has a plan and purpose for storing troops and food.
Fortunately, Benicia had won the war before, which improved the domestic situation, but no matter what, it could not withstand such turmoil from Venetian.
You brought out almost all the troops, and you don’t want the kingdom anymore?
By the way, Weine didn’t plan to have a kingdom.
In the final analysis, the mess was too big for her to clean up. Anyway, she made money this time. Building an empire? I can’t even see the slightest bit of this kind of thing! It’s better to go crazy in the end and take a hundred thousand troops to fight against the Holy See.
As a result, Orff’s progress came to a halt immediately.
Although there are still troops from the Holy See arriving at Benicia to attack, the Queen of Benicia is a lunatic. Who knows what she will do with these 100,000 troops?
And looking at the direction, she is obviously heading towards Saint Ino City. She might even want to massacre the city!
The Holy See is located in the center of the continent. In addition to the largest city, Saint Ino, south of the Holy See headquarters, there are several small cities around it that are under the direct jurisdiction of the Holy See. If Weine does not attack the Holy See but goes to attack these cities, it will be unacceptable to the Holy See.
Then–
Weiner divided her troops into three groups. She personally led 60,000 troops to attack Saint-Inno City, and the remaining two groups, each with 20,000 troops, attacked the other cities.
[‘Queen of Benicia, you have fallen into heresy, and you will be punished by the Mother Goddess of Life! ‘——Orff]
[‘If there is a God in the world, please let Him appear. I want to see Him. If there is no God, then what are you talking about? ‘]
[‘Warriors of the Kingdom, use the weapons in your hands to uncover the hypocritical mask of the Holy See. I am with you! ‘]
[In August 1782, Queen Venetian launched an attack on Saint-Ino and other cities, and engaged in a fierce battle with the 8 Holy Court defenders. Three days later, she marched eastward and joined up with siege troops at Xingyao City, and launched an attack on Xingyao City.]
[On the same day, Xingyao City was captured, and Wei Nei ordered a massacre in the city. ]
【Phyllis: Crazy, crazy! 】
[Irelia: Your Highness Venetian… is indeed a little crazy. ]
To be honest, Irelia didn’t know where Vine’s madness came from. If she remembered correctly, although the latter had recruited Ash in the simulation, the battle for the throne was over and it didn’t last long at all. Besides, Khorne hadn’t appeared during that time, right?
Even if the memories are synchronized, Irelia believes what you said about her loving Ash to death, but where did she learn such iron-blooded methods?
Irelia didn’t mean to say that there was a problem with Vene’s action plan… Well, there was still a problem. If Benicia and the Arctic Ice Kingdom were on the same side, it would be understandable that she would attack the Holy See without leaving any room to rescue Arctic Ice. Because if it were her, and she could help Ash at this time, she would act without hesitation, not to mention massacring a city, she would even massacre several cities!
The problem is, as the queen of Benicia, there is no reason for Vene to do this. If it is a case of the lips and the teeth being in danger, then… you should look back at Benicia first, the surrounding countries are about to attack!
So, apart from the word “crazy”, Irelia couldn’t think of any other way to explain Vene’s behavior.
[Weinei: What are you talking about? Isn’t this how games should be played? It’s just a simulation, so what’s wrong with me doing what I like?]
[Phyllis: So you are sure that you are incapable of building an empire, right?]
【Weine: Yes, Khorne.】
[Phyllis: You admitted it quite straightforwardly.]
[Weinei: Well, I feel happy. Do you guys have to cry just to play a simulation?]
Esde really wanted to cry, especially when she saw Venetian having fun with the simulation. The problem was that she had received favors from others, so she felt… aggrieved and uncomfortable, you know?
This made Esde wonder – Am I not even as good as Vene?
Just then, a simulated message popped up, and Ash asked her to return to the royal city.
On the strategic map, there is a new purple card commander in Xia City – Marquis Scindia. Esde knows him and he is a noble with quite good command ability.
With her here, and with the help of Xia City’s defenses, they should be able to hold off the Holy See for a while.
After hesitating for a moment, Esde chose to go back first.
After all, she is the queen of the Arctic Ice Kingdom, and she cannot stay here and compete with her subordinates for the right to defend the city.
The scene changes.
[‘Acede, welcome back.’]
A portrait of Ash pops up on the interface.
She was wearing a brocade robe with gilded trim, looking very noble.
This is the skin that Ash unlocked after becoming the regent and having complete control over the discourse power – ‘Under One Person’.
The effect of the skin is to increase the target’s probability of surrendering to him. It’s definitely a good skin for the ruling class.
[‘I’m sorry, I failed.’ Esde said with a frustrated look on his face.]
