The name of the continent was " Rostocker ". In the language of the ancient continent, Rostocker meant " blessed by God ". The continent was about 7,000 kilometers long and 9,000 kilometers wide. The entire continent was rectangular, and outside the continent was an endless sea.
The westernmost part of the Rostocker Continent was the boundless desert and swamps. This was the only territory of the orcs on the continent. The northern part of the continent was extremely bitter and cold. Like all other places of extreme cold, this place was vast and sparsely populated. The entire north had less than a million people and no country. The eastern part of the continent was mainly plains and highlands, with a small number of mountains. Most of the humans and countries on the continent were located here. The southern part of the continent was mostly forested and mountainous. The main residents here were elves and dwarves, with a small number of humans and some hermits. There were only three human countries in the southern part of the continent. Due to the steep mountain terrain, there were only sporadic conflicts between the three countries. In these three countries, large-scale group wars involving more than 10,000 people had already existed in historical records from a hundred years ago.
The Arthurs Empire was the most powerful country in the eastern part of the Rostocker Continent. It had a population of about 210 million and a regular army of about 4.4 million. The most famous one was the "Heaven Executioner Legion", which was formed by about ten thousand blue Dou Qi warriors. Because of the barrier between the Beckers Mountain Range and the Krug Prairie, the Arthurs Empire temporarily shifted its attention from the west to the southeast.
On the Rostocker Continent, the only empire that could compete with the Arthurs Empire was the Ter Empire, which was close to the territory of the orcs. Although the Ter Empire had the largest land area on the Rostocker Continent, the long years of war with the orcs had consumed too much of the Ter Empire's energy. Because of the long years of war with the orcs, the entire country's population was less than 180 million, and the regular army was about 4 million.
In the Ter language, the distance between the Bakers Mountain Range and the Kuge Prairie, which meant " the hometown of dragons ", prevented the Ter Empire from facing the threat of the Arsus Empire directly. This was the only thing that made King Ter feel gratified.
However, the drought in the eastern part of the continent had caused a severe famine this year. About ten million people in the Arthurs Empire had been displaced, and millions had died of hunger. In order to shift the disaster of his own country to other countries and to minimize the losses of the country, King Arthur wisely launched an invasion war called " Salvation " against the surrounding small countries.
The flames of war were first ignited in Caine, east of the Arthurs Empire.
Caine's land area was only about the size of an administrative province of the Arthurs Empire. The population of the entire country did not exceed three million, and the regular army was only about two hundred thousand. It was obvious that the war had ended before it had even begun. The King of Caine had already surrendered before Arthurs '140,000-strong army entered the territory of Caine. When the most elite Heaven's Executioner Army of the Arsus Empire was still thirty miles away from Caine City, the King of Caine was already holding the scepter that symbolized his royal power and was kneeling three miles away from the capital to welcome them.
The flames of war spread eastward with the victory of the Arthurs Empire's army. When the 140,000-strong army set foot on the territory of the Croelid Duchy, they finally stopped for the first time since the beginning of the war.
The Croelid Duchy was originally a small country that belonged to the Isis Empire. The population of the entire country was about 16 million, and the regular army was 500,000. In the early stages of the war, the Iz Empire had helped the Croelid Duchy in various ways for the sake of the country's dignity and prestige. However, victory on the battlefield wasn't everything. War was just a method, and benefits were the goal of this method. However, politics was the ultimate weapon to obtain benefits.
When an empire with the most powerful army invaded a small country that was not related to its fundamental interests, in order to prevent the flames of war from burning its own territory and not offend the big country, the Iz Empire cleverly gave up all support to the Croelid Duchy. However, because of this concession, the Iz Empire finally received sufficient compensation from the spoils of war of the Arsus Empire.
When the 140,000 soldiers of the Arthurs Empire withdrew from Croelid, they left behind three million corpses and tens of millions of people who had lost their ability to survive.
140,000 soldiers had set off from the Empire, but nearly 2 million soldiers had returned, along with countless wealth and beauties. The profits of war were vividly reflected in this expedition. The negligible casualty rate and the huge benefits made every warrior go crazy, to the point that they longed for the next expedition because they could obtain even greater benefits next time. The usually cautious King Arthur was also mesmerized by the unimaginable benefits and wealth in front of him. After the Twelve Eastern Duchies were included in the territory, the Arthurs Empire, which was known as the most powerful empire in the Eastern Continent, set its sights on the Krug Prairie, which had always been a disappointment.
Thus, the largest army battle in the past hundred years began under such circumstances…
The Krug Prairie was located between the Arthurs Empire and the Ter Empire, at the foot of the Beckers Mountain Range. It was the most fertile area on the Rostocker Continent. There were groups of animals, flowers all over the prairie, precious herbs in the depths of the prairie, and the Becker Ulun Grass that grew in the depths of the Becker Mountain Range. It was an immortal treasure that everyone on the Rostocker Continent dreamed of.
In the Ter language, Bekulun meant " Blessing of the Dragon God." The Bekulun Grass, like other rare herbs, had the effect of curing illnesses and prolonging life. It could also allow a person who did not understand battle energy or magic to instantly have the cultivation of intermediate battle energy or intermediate magic. For warriors and mages who could already stimulate their battle energy, they only needed a small amount of Bekulun Grass to achieve the cultivation of both magic and martial arts that all warriors and mages dreamed of. According to the legends, one only needed to consume two complete Bekulun Grass to become a god-like existence and become immortal.
About 500 years ago, when Yarsus was still a small country in the middle, the Ter Empire already had a large territory in the east and south. By chance, King Ter learned that the forest of the Kuge Prairie, the territory of Arthurs, was rich in magic crystals, and that the Becker Mountains on the prairie contained a large number of mineral deposits. Therefore, he did not hesitate to mobilize the entire country's strength and give up on defending against the orcs. He led an army of four million to attack Arthurs, wanting to include the Kug Prairie into the territory of the Tell Empire. Although the war to invade the Arthurs Empire failed under the interference of several other countries, King Ter got the entire Krug Prairie as he wished. This war also allowed the orcs, who had been holed up in the southern part of the continent, to occupy the bridgehead to march into the eastern part of the continent.
Although after Yassers became powerful, he used various means to break away from the rule of the Ter Empire, but he could not make it return to the embrace of Yassers. Until now, the Krug Prairie had always existed as a free existence between two powerful empires. Due to various reasons, there had never been an army of more than 10,000 people in this free land.
It wasn't until the year 7322 of the Rostocker Calendar, when the 200,000-strong army of the Arthurs Empire set foot on this free and peaceful grassland, that everything changed.
On April 12th, year 7322 of the Rostocker Calendar, the first army of the Arthurs Empire, with a total of 30,000 scouts, entered the Krug Prairie.
On April 27th, year 7322 of the Rostocker Calendar, King Arthurs announced that the Krug Prairie was officially incorporated into the territory of the Arthurs Empire. From then on, the Krug Prairie became an administrative province of the Arthurs Empire again, and he announced it to the world on the same day. On the fourth day of the fifth month, year 7322 of the Rostocker calendar, the news reached the capital of the Tell Empire. The king was furious.
On the same day, King Ter withdrew his diplomatic envoy from the Arthurs Empire and denounced the naked aggression of the Arthurs Empire to the world. He then called on all the people of Ter to fight to save their compatriots on the Kug Prairie and immediately began a national mobilization. He raised 170,000 troops and vowed to live and die with the Kug Prairie. In addition, there were about a million new recruits still in training, ready to go to the front line of the Kuge Prairie at any time.
On the 24th day of May, year 7322 of the Rostocker Calendar, the army of the Arsus Empire and the army of the Ter Empire had their first brief contact. Both sides suffered losses.
On June 1st, year 7322 of the Rostocker Calendar, the Arthurs Empire sent 400,000 soldiers from the 1st and 2nd legions to sneak along the foot of the Beckers Mountain Range. On the third day, they met 300,000 soldiers from the 2nd and 5th legions of the Tell Empire who were also sneaking along the foot of the mountain range. The two sides fought fiercely for two days and one night. In the end, the army of the Tell Empire was defeated. After leaving behind 40,000 corpses, the remaining 260,000 soldiers all retreated. The remaining 340,000 Arthurs continued to chase after the retreating Ter army. In the end, 120,000 Arthurs forced back 600,000 of the Ter army, winning the initiative in the war.
On the 28th of June, year 7322 of the Rostocker Calendar, both armies arrived at the front line at the same time. At this moment, a total of 300,000 to 300,000 soldiers from both sides were gathered on the Krug Prairie. On the same day, the commanders of the Arthurs and Ter empires tacitly issued a truce order. The battle between the Arthurs Empire and the Ter Empire for the Kuge Prairie entered a stalemate.
On the 13th day of the 8th month of the 7322nd year of the Rostocker calendar, when King Arthurs was about to lose his patience, the Arthurs army dispatched 800,000 men to attack the army of the Ter Empire.
On the 7th day of the 9th month of the 7322nd year of the Rostocker calendar, the Arthurs army defeated the central army of the Tell Empire at the cost of 400,000 soldiers. When the general of the Ter army retreated with the remaining 900,000 soldiers, the high-spirited 60-year-old general of the Arthurs Empire, Duke Rolick, led the remaining one million soldiers to pursue.
On October 2nd, Year 7322 of the Rostocker Calendar, the remnants of the Ter army retreated to the border of the Ter Empire. Duke Rolick led the army in pursuit. On the 13th day of the 10th month of the 7322nd year of the Rostocker Calendar, when Duke Rolick's army was approaching the border of the Tell Empire, and the army was resting, a troop of about 800,000 soldiers suddenly charged out from the direction of the Beckers Mountains of the Tell Empire. After a night of fierce battle, although the Ter Army suffered heavy losses, they still fought to the death.
On the afternoon of October 14th, year 7322, about 700,000 remnants of the defeated Ter army turned around and fought back, joining the remaining 380,000 soldiers. The pincer attack from the front and back of the Ter Army caused the Arthurs Army to suffer a crushing defeat, and Duke Rolick also died from serious injuries. King Arthurs was furious when he heard the news of Duke Rolick's death. He ordered an emergency mobilization of the entire country, recruiting 100,000 to 200,000 new soldiers and sending an additional one million troops to the front line. During the court hearing that day, King Arthur swore to the heavens that he would not stop until he took down the entire Tell Empire to avenge Duke Rolick! Even if they had to use the entire country's strength, they would fight to the end!
Duke Rolick's granddaughter, Rolina, decided to go with the army after learning of King Arthur's decision.
On the 30th day of the 10th month of the 7322nd year of the Rostocker Calendar, the 200,000 soldiers of Arthurs '17th legion led by Rolina met the 300,000 soldiers of the 10th and 11th legion of the Tell Empire outside the forest at the foot of the Beckers Mountain Range. The two sides spread out into battle formations, and a great battle was about to break out!!
"Teacher, I'll have to leave it to you in a while.”Luo Lina's melodious voice was still so pleasant to the ears even in the battlefield where the sounds of battle shook the heavens.
Beside her, a person wearing a traditional magic robe and hiding his body under a large cloak had been floating in the air and guarding her since the beginning of the battle. When he heard Rolina's respectful request, an old and loving voice came out from the cloak."Hehe, don't worry! When has your teacher ever disappointed you?”He paused, and his tone was full of regret and helplessness." This time, I wonder how many people will never be able to see the Arthur Flower outside Cullen City again…"
Rolina was the granddaughter of Duke Rolick, the former highest commander of the Arthurs Empire. Luo Lina's mother died during childbirth. Luo Lina spent her childhood with her father and grandfather. Due to her long exposure to knowledge about war, Luo Lina did not become a dignified and virtuous lady like her father had expected. Instead, she devoted all her energy to the battlefield command technique that was like a game in her eyes.
The thirteen-year-old Rolina was already famous for her beauty in Cullen City. She had inherited her long golden hair from her mother. Coupled with her peerless appearance and a little wildness, she had a unique appeal. When Luo Lina was 16 years old, her father was imprisoned by King Arthur due to the power struggle in the officialdom. Luo Lina was protected by her grandfather. From then on, the innocent and lively Luo Lina seemed to have changed into a different person. She began to crazily learn all the knowledge related to war. It was also from this moment that Luo Lina had a unique thought in her heart. She wanted to avenge her father, so she had to have enough power. If one wanted to have enough power, they had to have enough military power. The most direct way to obtain military power was to make enough military achievements on the battlefield. In order to make enough military achievements, one had to first learn how to fight.
Under her grandfather's careful guidance and personal hard work, the talented Luo Lina won the title of " Battle Rose " in the Arthurs Empire at the age of 18. It was as beautiful as a rose, but behind this beautiful rose, there was a terrifying spine…
"The first reserve team, get ready! The 10th Brigade stepped forward to replace the 4th Brigade, while the 1st Brigade of the reserve team was prepared to take over the defense of the 10th Brigade. All warriors of the Arthurs Empire, pay attention to prevent Ter's trash from taking the opportunity to attack!”As the situation on the battlefield changed, Luo Lina continued to adjust the formation and personnel of the troops. Other than the flag bearer waving the command flag to convey the commander's orders, Luo Lina's beautiful voice was also transmitted to the ears of every warrior on the battlefield with the help of wind magic.
Calm and accurate judgment, keen observation, quick and decisive decision-making, the ability to command soldiers with their lives, and the ability to be approachable. Luo Lina had all the qualities that an excellent commander should have. Coupled with her grandfather's influence in the Arthurs army, Luo Lina, who was only 21 years old, had become synonymous with " victory " in the Arthurs army.
From the moment her grandfather's body was sent back to Cullen, Luo Lina knew that she was the only one who could protect her from now on. The best way to protect oneself was not only to have an extraordinary martial arts cultivation, but also to have power and control an army. Luo Lina had requested King Arthur to let her lead the army to the front line of the Kuge Prairie. Other than wanting to avenge her grandfather, she had also made this decision.
Although it was a battle of 200,000 against 300,000, with only 50,000 cavalrymen on her side and the Ter Army having 100,000 cavalry, Luo Lina was still calm and composed, watching the battlefield with full confidence. Luo Lina's confidence stemmed from the mage in the large cloak who had been guarding her the entire time.
There was a fundamental difference between magic and martial arts. To become a powerful mage, one did not need to work hard or work hard. If one wanted to become a powerful mage, one had to possess extraordinary talent. Other than that, to become a powerful mage, one must also have great luck.
Magic power was different from martial arts. As long as one worked hard, one would be able to learn high-level martial arts one day. The amount of magic power was determined at birth. When a person's body could hold up to the maximum amount of magic power, they could only use meditation to change the quality of the magic power absorbed by the body. Finding a place with dense magical elements could make the change twice as effective. Otherwise, it would never reach the level of " qualitative change " if he only relied on ordinary meditation absorption. The other method was to find a tool that contained powerful magic power or a pure top-grade magic crystal to increase his strength. However, these methods were more difficult than the first method. Therefore, on the continent, mages who could reach the level of sages were very rare. Mages with the title of " archmage " could only be found in historical records from a hundred years ago.
Fahuri Karen, a fire mage, one of the ten sages. He was one of the very few top-notch mages who could skillfully use three types of Nature Magic. It took Fasiris Karen forty years to create a thermal power compound spell that was no weaker than forbidden spells. Because of this, he was known as the sage who was closest to the Archmage on the continent, and his current identity was Lolina's magic teacher.
Fahuri and the late Duke Rolick were best friends when they were young. When Rolick successfully established himself in the Arthurs military, Fahuri, who was already fascinated by magic, suddenly decided to travel far to find the true meaning of magic. It wasn't until Lolina was 17 years old that Fassuri secretly returned to Cullen, the capital of Arthurs, and became Lolina's magic teacher at the request of his good friend Duke Rolick. Luo Lina, who had long thought of having power and obtaining military power as her greatest wish, did not become a qualified student. In her opinion, only a general with a strong physique and peerless martial arts skills could become a good general and lead his soldiers to achieve meritorious service on the battlefield. Those weak mages who always stood behind the soldiers could not take on this heavy responsibility.
Although Lolina did not learn much magic from Fasuri, she had an extremely deep understanding and comprehensive understanding of Fasuri's magic cultivation. Luo Lina knew that this battle would give her more power and military power. On the battlefield, the destructive power of a powerful fire mage with the title of Sage was difficult to estimate. Thus, before leaving, Rolina had requested for Fasiuri to go with her.
Fahuri couldn't find any reason to refuse, so when Lolina led her army out of Cullen City, Fahuri had been wearing a loose magic robe and following her.
"Teacher, please!" Luo Lina looked at the battlefield calmly, but there was a hint of uneasiness hidden under her face. Although she had absolute trust in her teacher's strength, she still could not restrain the nervousness in her heart when things came to a head.
"Believe in your teacher. Soon, we will celebrate today's victory in the camp.”Perhaps hearing the uneasiness in Lolina's words, Fasurite said this in surprise.
After dispelling the Levitation spell on himself, Fasuri slowly landed on the ground. As Luo Lina nodded firmly, he turned around and walked to the back.
There were two circles on the sides and a hexagram in the center of the circle. The space between the two circles and the hexagram represented the nature, power, duration, casting range, and other necessary factors of the magic. A huge magic array was drawn on the ground behind the battle formation. A large number of mages were surrounding the magic array and injecting magic power into it. Most of the mages saluted Fahuri when he arrived.
On the Rostocker Continent, the strong were always respected. Even if he was the ruler of a country, he would show some courtesy when facing a peerless expert. Although the mages did not know who the Ten Great Wise Ones were, the powerful magic power that Faxiury unintentionally revealed and the dense fire magic elements that were attracted to him made everyone who was proficient in magic truly feel his strength.
After being told to fully cooperate with Fassuri, the captain of the magic brigade quickly commanded the Magicians of Arsus to infuse their mana into the magic array as Fassuri chanted. This was to allow Fahuri to cast powerful large-scale offensive spells with the help of the mages 'magic power through magic arrays.
" A radiance more dazzling than the starry sky, a flame more fiery than the sun…" Faxiu's old but powerful voice spread far and wide from the center of the magic array. As he chanted, the runes on the magic array gradually became brighter and more dazzling. Under the command of the incantation, the fire elemental magic quickly gathered around Fasiuri, who was standing in the center of the magic array, causing the air around him to turn a faint red.
The violent magical wave made everyone on the battlefield clearly feel the immense power it contained. The few mages in the army of the Tell Empire gathered their magical power together in panic and spread out a large magical barrier, hoping to block the enemy's magical attack.
Compared to the magic brigade of the Arsus Empire, the number of mages in the army of the Ter Empire was pitifully small. The Ter Empire was a country that specialized in cavalry. In the eastern continent of Rostocke, the cavalry of the Ter Empire was the best and most elite. However, the mages in the Arcus Empire's army made up for the lack of quality and quantity of cavalry.
" Flames that have fallen from the sky, please follow my guidance and burn the flames before my eyes…" Fassuri's recitation stopped abruptly. He raised his eyes that were hidden under his cloak and stared blankly at the sky. The faint red fire elements around him also disappeared.
Slowly, the mages and warriors on the battlefield raised their heads at the same time. They all felt a huge pressure from the sky above them. The magic elements in the air seemed to be attracted by this strange object in the sky. They left the ground and quickly flew up. The pressure was getting stronger and stronger. The weaker mages and low-level warriors could no longer withstand the unimaginable pressure and fell to the ground.
All of a sudden, the entire sky darkened, and the light seemed to have disappeared without a trace in an instant.
In the darkness, a dazzling red ball of light fell from the sky, dyeing the entire sky red. The soldiers of the two countries stopped fighting at the same time. Everyone's eyes were focused on the huge red ball of light. At this moment, it was as if the entire space was collapsing along with the red ball of light. From the trajectory of the ball of light, one could even see the traces of the air caving in...
"Teacher, is this…is this the magic you cast?”From the moment the ball of light appeared, Luo Lina instinctively sensed that things had gone beyond her expectations.
"What? " Let's go, child..." Fasiuri was still staring blankly at the rapidly falling red ball of light in the sky. In his eyes, the immense magic power contained in this ball of light had far exceeded the ultimate forbidden spell he knew. "Child…let's go! This isn't magic power that I can control…It's very powerful, very powerful, unimaginable…Let's leave this place quickly, or it'll be too late.”
As one of the ten great sages of the Rostocker Continent, Fahuri had a very accurate feeling of the immense power contained in this ball of light, or fireball. It was not difficult for him to deduce the damage range and attack direction from the fire elements he could sense, which was why he urged his students to leave. Meanwhile, Fahuri himself decided to stay behind and observe this spell that he had never seen before. According to his estimation, with his current strength, it was not a problem for him to protect himself.
Luo Lina didn't listen to her teacher's suggestion. Instead, she rushed to the center of the army. She wanted to wake up the commanders who were still in a daze and order the troops to retreat. She couldn't abandon her soldiers and run away alone. When she first learned about the battlefield, her father and grandfather had constantly warned her to cherish the lives of soldiers as much as she cherished her own life. Only by truly caring about the soldiers could she win their hearts and make them fight for her will.
While Rolina was desperately trying to command the troops to retreat, a fireball containing immense magic power was rapidly falling towards the battlefield between the Arthurs and Ter armies... Daguan Time:1024201811:10AM
