Highland.
This stretch of highland stretches for thousands of miles in the northeastern part of the Gallic Empire, overlooking the northern provinces of the Gallic Empire across the Seine River.
The highlands are barren, and most of the area is made of rocky mountains, and the living environment is extremely difficult.
The highlanders who live here have also developed a strong and tenacious character, and their adult men are all qualified warriors, while the highlanders who have cultivated their fighting spirit can generally get a good position in the teams of the Western Continent as long as they are willing to leave their homeland.
Densely packed tents were scattered on the western edge of the highlands, separated by a few small hills, across the mighty Seine River, and thirty miles away was the northern territory of the Gallic Empire.
From here, if enough pontoon bridges can be erected over the Sein, more than 400,000 elites can cross the Seine in two hours, suddenly appear on the flank of the orc legions, and give them a hard blow.
The last four and a half elite legions under Arthur's command are now stationed here to recuperate.
Lin Qi knew that relying only on the human elite of these four and a half legions, he would not be able to compete with the huge orc legion.
And he was in the highlands, a rocky desert plateau rich in powerful warriors, who were not weaker than the barbarian warriors So the messengers sent by Linzi haunted the tribes in the highlands, and they sent valuable gifts to the leaders of those tribes, and sent large quantities of grain and gold coins to those tribes.
The poor highlanders could not resist the temptation of Lin Qi's gold coins, and just after the army was recuperating in the past few days, groups of highland soldiers had gathered from all directions and joined Lin Qi's army.
In just a few days, 50,000 highlanders gathered under Lin Qi's command, and Lin Qi was already ambitiously preparing to organize them into a pure highland army.
The generous Arthur had set Linzi free to go to his baggage depot and take the heavy ordnance he needed, and the fine armor and ordnance were now used by Linzi to arm the highlanders.
These impoverished highlanders were able to defeat several times the number of human warriors with sticks and rudimentary swords, and when they put on their finely crafted armor and picked up sophisticated weapons, a team of 1,000 highlanders even killed a 10,000-strong light cavalry in a head-on simulated confrontation And these highland people are simple.
They are all straightforward people with one intestine, Lin Qi gave them money, and they worked hard for Lin Qi.
They will not have any intrigues, and the fierce and brave highlanders will not escape.
These 50,000 highlanders were even more powerful than the human soldiers of the two legions on the frontal battlefield.
"Isn't it just a little bit of gold, with these highlanders, they will earn me more gold?"
Lin Qi smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a line, he spilled a lot of gold coins, and sent a large number of precious gifts continuously, and this is what he wanted.
These Highland warriors will become a sharp sword in his hands, earning him more profits in the future.
In particular, more highlanders are still coming this way.
Lin Qi made a preliminary estimate that as long as he took out enough chips, he should be able to raise nearly two legions of highlanders here Neither the Gallic Empire nor the Caesar Empire dared to arm the highlanders in such a big way, lest they form a posture that would not fall off and pose a threat to the rule of the Empire.
But Lin Qi didn't have this concern, if possible, he even considered raising a highland kingdom to come out, what loss would this have for him Standing on the top of a mountain.
Below you are a lush black pine forest, a few miles ahead of you is the roaring and tumbling Seine River, and on the other side of the river is also a black pine forest.
Large forests of black pines cascade down the gentle hills and into the vicinity of New Dunker and other cities in the North Sea.
The black pine forests of the northern part of the Gallic Empire were famous for producing high-quality timber on the western continent.
"The materials for building the pontoon bridge are ready," Lin Qi asked Legion Commander Haring, who was standing beside him, playing with a gold coin.
Haring, who had sworn allegiance to Lin Qi, nodded solemnly and began to report to Lin Qi the results of his work and that of several other legion commanders these days.
Tens of thousands of soldiers rested during the day and went into the black pine forests below the mountains at night to cut timber, and they had accumulated enough timber for several days.
With the help of magicians, it only took a few hours to build a hundred strong pontoon bridges over the Seine.
The soldiers that Lin Qi now had in his hands, plus those newly surrendered highlanders, were the strength of the five legions.
If properly organized, the river crossing could be completed in a few hours, and in two hours at most, the vanguard cavalry brigade would be in front of the orcs.
"I don't know what it's like," Lin Qi took a deep breath.
Alda told him about his plan to use succubi to seduce the orc legions, drain their physical strength, and strive for a great victory.
The plan is shameless, lewd, and full of demonic evil.
Linzi, on the other hand, decisively agreed to Alda's suggestion.
I don't know how Alda's fragrant plan is going, 25,000 succubi from the sixth abyss, this guy really dares to do this In the past two days, Lin Qi has been busy taking care of the affairs of the highlanders, and he didn't bother to contact Alda, but Alda didn't take the initiative to summon Lin Qi, presumably the situation on his side is not much worse.
Just as Lin Qi lowered his head and thought about it, the people around Haring and Lin Qi all exclaimed loudly, and they pointed to the black pine forest on the other side of the Seine River, and their faces were as if they had seen a ghost.
Lin Qi raised his head, and his eyes almost jumped out of their sockets.
A line of red light appeared in the far distance, from south to north, and that line of red light was almost endless.
The cold wind was howling, and the red light was getting stronger and stronger, and it seemed to spread slowly to this side.
After more than two hours, the red light had turned into a visible flame, rising dozens of meters high flames and quietly devouring the black pine forests along the way, burning one mountain after another into a patch of red.
The black pine forests here are all centuries-old pine trees, and the bark of the trees has accumulated a rich amount of pine resin, which is a good thing to fuel combustion.
The continuous fire had become a prairie fire, and with the terrible sound of tree trunks bursting, the overwhelming fire slowly burned over.
Lin Qi was covered in a cold sweat, which bastard set the fire even an orc wouldn't do it Although the orcs are ferocious and vicious, the orcs are worshippers of nature, they worship all mountains, rivers and mountains, all forests and grasslands, worship all natural spirits, they respect the forest, respect the animals and birds in the forest, they are cruel and cruel when dealing with humans, but they will never use such atrocities in the forest Look at the momentum of this fire, from the far north to the south where the line of sight is not visible, there are fires slowly burning this way, this fire actually has the posture of burning the entire northern provinces of the Gallic Empire to the ground, which is a good thing done by a bastard who killed a thousand knives The fire was still about a hundred miles away from Lin Qi's side, but standing on the top of the mountain, Lin Qi and the others could already see how much of a scope this devastating fire covered.
The heavens and the earth have been overwhelming, as if they are going to burn the whole world to ashes.

The fire slowly spread, and a fierce roar like a dragon's roar came from afar.
A strong and abnormal fighting spirit rose into the sky, and a tall figure flew up hundreds of meters from the dense forest, suspended in mid-air and stared blankly at the fire spreading in the distance.
"Damn, who set fire to such a good forest, such a big forest, who set fire" The strong man, who was two heads taller than normal, roared angrily, and the demigod-level fighting qi spread out like a sea tide.
Lin Qi's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle, it was a barbarian, his tall stature, and the dense magic patterns under his skin all revealed his bloodline.
With only a single animal skin wrapped around his crotch, and a large round shield on his back, and three spears made of unknown animal bones hanging from the shield, the brute cursed at the fire in a rage.
Dozens more figures scurried up from the dense forest, and they all stepped on the branches of the trees on the heights, watching in amazement as the fire was getting closer and closer.
The demigod barbarian roared angrily, then beckoned the men to retreat in the direction of the Seine.
Even if he was a demigod, in the face of this forest fire that had become a prairie fire, this barbarian could only shake his head helplessly.
If it is a water system magic god who is proficient in various forbidden spells, it is possible to save this fire tribulation, but a barbarian demigod, he is powerless against such a fire.
The barbarians crossed the Seine with ease, and then they jumped onto the trees on this side of the river, and stood on a high place and watched helplessly at the fire in the distance.
Lin Qi stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the barbarian demigod a few miles away, his face full of incredulity.
Why is there a barbarian demigod here, or in the barbarians' own words, a warrior god?
Moreover, of the thirty or so barbarian strong men accompanying him, the weakest one was a warrior at the lower level of the Holy Master.
Although the equipment on their bodies looks inconspicuous, it looks very rough and ancient, but the materials of those equipment are very amazing, for example, the round shield behind the Valkyrie God is made of the skull of a giant dragon, which is a real dragon bone shield.
As for the three javelins, Lin Qi couldn't recognize what kind of material they were, but the looming runes on the javelins made Lin Qi feel palpitations.
Alda reported to Lin Qi that the two demigods of the Temple of Odin and the Temple of the Prairie broke into the Holy Mountain to provoke and declare a divine war.
But after such a long battle, whether it is a foreign race or a human race, the strongest combat force dispatched is only a saint, and the demigods that Asenbils and Hami Galdi threatened to dispatch have not appeared until now Now, a barbarian martial god suddenly appeared here
