"Does he want to fight us here" Looking at the solid defense line that stretched for dozens of miles in front of him, and the Bright Emperor Camp that seemed to be endless behind that defense line, Tiger Tiger, the commander of the Roland Alliance, looked a little dignified Of course, in the solemnity, with a little doubt.
In fact, Tiger's doubts never subsided.
The fact of seizing Thundering City has always made Tiger very strange, that Duke Tulip actually gave up Thundering City and gave up the gate that guarded the southward path of the Bright Continent After holding out for so many days, he actually withdrew from the strong military fortress of Thunder City with his mighty army, and on the day of the breach, Tiger witnessed the last remaining flame warrior regiment of the Empire of Light die in battle, although in the eyes of the Rolanders, those people were heretics, but they had to admit that those people were very brave and extremely loyal to their beliefs, although in the eyes of the Rolanders, they believed in the devil.
The entire 30,000 flame warrior regiment was like the tail of a gecko, which Duke Tulip did not hesitate to abandon and use as a barrier for the safe retreat of his main army.
The 30,000 Flame Warriors resisted the Roland people for a day and a half, withstood wave after wave of attacks from the Rolands, and when the Holy Knights finally broke through the gates of Thundering City, Tiger was so excited that he almost cried, he had already lost 100,000 people under this Thundering City But when he entered the city, he realized that something was wrong.
Duke Tulip's main army had already retreated, leaving only those flame warriors in the city, although those people were also very brave to fight to the end, but 30,000 people against hundreds of thousands of people would be tantamount to a massacre.
And Duke Tulip did it very thoroughly.
The inside of Thundering City was almost in ruins.
Most of the buildings in the city have been demolished, most of them resembling building stones, which had been used in previous battles to stop the Roland siege of the city, and most of the stones were smashed on the heads of the Rolanders.
And all the supplies in the city, what could be taken away were taken away by Duke Tulip's army.
Food, weapons that could not be taken away, or that were too late to be taken away, were all destroyed.
Looking at the heavy catapults under the city, which had been turned into a pile of broken wood, Tiger didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
And in the city, there are still many places where there are raging fires, and there are still some corners where the remnants of the Flame Samurai Regiment are still desperately making the last resistance.
No matter what, no matter how much doubts were in his heart, Tiger finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It doesn't matter so much, whether Duke Tulip deliberately gave up Thundering City, or if he really couldn't hold on to retreating, in short, Thundering City was taken.
The gateway to the south to conquer the Bright Continent has been opened.
No matter what, the Roland people's conquest will not stop After two days of repairs in Thundering City, Tiger gave the order to go south Tiger was undoubtedly cautious, and he sent two thousand men as the vanguard to guide the path of the army behind.
And one by one the news came back, which made Tiger's brows tighten more and more.
The vanguard of 20,000 people searched and probed everywhere, but found nothing.
Along the way south from Thundering City, there were no more people in towns, villages, and everywhere they went.
How could it be that despite the pre-war intelligence, Tiger also knew that the northern provinces of the Bright Empire were barren and sparsely populated, and they were only used as military theaters.
But no matter how sparse the population is, there should always be someone Facing the towns and villages that had long been emptied, and facing the empty streets, the soldiers of the Roland people were a little dazed, they had been holding back their murderous anger for a long time, and suddenly found that there was no place to vent.
You know, they were ready to teach the infidels well.
The purpose of the temple is well understood: The joint announcement of the temple and the more than a dozen kingdoms of the Roland Continent is: All the warriors who participated in the holy war, the land and property of the pagans conquered in the war on the Bright Continent can be divided into a part and slaves Although this order is not so in line with the spirit of chivalry, it seems to call on everyone to go to the Bright Continent to rob, but considering that the holy war requires the mobilization of a large number of manpower and military forces, and the other party is a heretic, they are all sinners who rebel against the gods, so it can't be controlled so much.
But all the way south, the Roland people found that the people of the Empire of Light were gone.
Of course, it's not that nothing is left, the heretics of the Empire of Light, the criminals.
It seems that they left behind their houses, their homes, and even their property, as well as a lot of valuable gold, silver and jewelry, which made many officers and soldiers of the army very excited, and they really made a lot of money.
Who said that the northern provinces of the Empire of Light are barren, it seems that these heretics are still very rich, many officers and soldiers have made a fortune, and many people can't wait to start dreaming of being rich, well, maybe after the war is over, you can use this money to buy a good piece of land, and then build a small manor, it is better to get a few more beautiful maids of the infidels, but only one thing, those people of the Empire of Light, there is not a single grain left, not a penny In the originally barren land in the north, the meager grain crops in the fields have long been harvested, and those that have not been harvested have long been burned, leaving behind patches of scorched earth.
Faced with this situation, a sentence immediately flashed in Tiger's mind: Solid wall clearing Tiger was well aware of his current situation, and he headed south with an army of hundreds of thousands.
The food consumption of hundreds of thousands of people and the forage consumption of horses are extremely amazing, no, it is no longer amazing, it is simply "scary" It turned out that when Thundering City went to the seaside, supply was not a problem at all.
Relying on the strong sea power of the Rolands, all supplies can be continuously transported from the sea, and the Bright Empire has no strength to rob their fleets at sea.
But that's no longer the case.
Now it is in people's homes, gradually extending to the inner belly of the mainland, and no matter how strong the navy is, it will never be able to sail warships to land to send supplies to the army.
All supplies were to be transported to Thundering City, and then escorted all the way south by the army.
The pace of going south was unusually smooth, and the southward movement of the army, including the two 10,000 troops walking in front, did not encounter any decent resistance, and occasionally encountered some small local garrisons of the Bright Empire, and they all easily repelled the other party, or not repelled it, but the other party saw him from a distance and took the initiative to run away.
It seems that the rumors are true, many of the armies of the Empire of Light have been loosely armed, and they are no longer the empire with a large elite army, the current Empire of Light, the army may still be very large, but the word elite may not be true, of course, except for the whip of Thor, the whip of Thor commanded by Duke Tulip and their northern legion also seem to be very powerful.
At least, they currently have an advantage in terms of troops, and the Northwest Legion of the Bright Empire is dragged to the northwest by Rochenthal's ally, and their Southern Legion needs to defend the South and Yanjing.
And the combined strength of the Northern Legion and Thor's Whip is less than the current Tiger army, and what is needed is an opportunity.
As long as the main force can defeat the main army of Duke Tulip in one fell swoop, then finally on the Pamir plain, the Rolands' pace of victory is stopped The Roland people looked in surprise at the military camp of the Bright Empire that appeared in front of them on the flat Pamir plains, which was dozens of miles long I really don't know how these heretics do it The huge barracks on the plains could hold at least 300,000 troops.
The entire barracks is surrounded by a sturdy fence wood, and in front of the camp is a deep trench to hell, and there are dense horse-repellent fortifications around a trench that is dozens of miles long, which is used to block the iron hooves of the Roland knights, which is no longer a barracks at all, it is a solid line of defense Look at the strong camp walls, the deep trenches, the horses with sharp blades hanging upside down, and the archers in the barracks.
Tiger couldn't help but sigh, such a deep trench, I don't know how many corpses it will take to fill it, no matter what, it must be a lot, a lot No matter what, Tiger breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, no matter what, he finally found the main army of the other party.
The pace of going south was too smooth, and the smoothness was a little unsettling.
Now although it is facing a solid defense line that makes people's scalps tingle, it can finally be fought with real guns Hmph, no matter how strong their camp is, can they have the walls of Thundering City to be strong, but they came to the plain to get a military camp, I really don't know what the Duke Tulip thinks After the first day of temptation, the two sides began to fight in real time on the second day.
This time the Duke of Tulip did not seem to retain any strength, and on the Pamir Plain, on a battlefield vacated between the camps of the two armies, each side committed tens of thousands of men to the first field battle.
The army of the Bright Empire taught the Roland people a hard lesson: no matter how powerful the navy is, but on land, it is still the Bright Empire that wins the world The dense phalanx composed of more than 30,000 heavy armored infantry of the Bright Empire stubbornly resisted the tide of attacks of the Rolands, and with the long-range strikes of the archers behind them, the losses of the Rolanders were great.

The new commander of the Royal Knights of the Sauron Kingdom of the Roland Alliance was ordered to charge, and the new commander of the Royal Knights was very eager to sweep away the shame of the defeat under the Thundering City, and the brave Roland Knights shouted the slogan of fighting for honor and rushed towards the heavy infantry regiment of the Empire of Light.
They were greeted by three-meter-long spears, those spears were raised like a forest, and the first wave of cavalry crashed into the spear array of the Empire of Light so fiercely, except for those who were pierced and killed, and occasionally fell off their horses, and were immediately beheaded by the imperial soldiers guarding behind the forward infantry.
The knights of the Royal Order of the Roland people immediately discovered the fact that even if they did not face Thor's Whip, the other armies of the other side were not as weak as they imagined.
The opponent's heavy infantry regiment was obviously strictly trained, and in the face of the charge of the cavalry of his own knight regiment, the morale of the opponent's infantry was very high, and there was no panic or retreat, and the soldiers in the front row still bravely raised their spears, and the entire phalanx stood together densely, facing the spears protruding from the shield walls, it really made my scalp tingle when I saw it.
Seeing that the Royal Knights could not successfully break through the opponent's phalanx, Tiger immediately ordered two infantry regiments to rush forward.
In any case, although the cavalry did not break through the opponent's infantry phalanx, at least it caused a certain amount of confusion to the opponent.
Taking a step back, Tiger didn't want the precious Royal Knights to be exhausted in such a battle On the first day of the field battle, seeing the sun setting in the west, both sides ended the fight.
The Empire of Light lost 10,000 brave soldiers, while the Roland losses figure ranged from 20,000 to 30,000.
The battlefield was covered with mutilated corpses, and the sunset on the horizon seemed to be stained red with blood.
Seeing the bright red sun on the horizon gradually disappear from the horizon, Tiger couldn't help but sigh: a soldier of the Empire of Light can be worth two or even three Roland soldiers.
This fact made him feel a little depressed.
If you encounter the whip of Thor, that may be further increased, and one whip of Thor can withstand more than four Roland people, Tiger is a little dazed in his heart.
The other side has such a powerful army, so why should this holy war be set off Where did those people in the temple get nervous, and they actually started a war that they were not sure to win With the cobbled together army of hundreds of thousands of ten countries in his hand, he can conquer the powerful empire in front of him If he thought of this if he had Thor's Whip in his hand, Tiger immediately dispelled this thought in his mind, because it was impossible.
He was well aware that the cost of feeding and maintaining such a strong army was staggering.
There are more than a dozen countries on the Roland Continent, each with limited national strength, and no country has the ability to support such an expensive army on its own.
It is simply impossible to pick out so many good warriors.
"Perhaps, only the Roland Continent can be unified, relying on the strength of the entire continent, such an army can be established" Tiger shook his head, trying to dissipate this thought in his mind, and then thought that the Thunder God's whip was impossible.
The Holy Knights of the Temple could barely compete head-on with Thor's Whip.
But the Holy Knights belong to the Temple.
The power of the temple in the Roland continent is huge, and every knight has the highest honor to be able to enter the Holy Knights.
This situation has caused the Holy Knights to gather the best combat power of the Roland Continent.
And the temple has all kinds of taxes in the entire Roland Continent, and the huge financial resources can support them to establish such a powerful cavalry regiment.
Both in terms of manpower and material resources and the quality of the knights, the highest level is guaranteed.
This kind of advantage is incomparable to any country in the Roland Continent.
Tiger smiled bitterly and could only take one more step back.
If these hundreds of thousands of people under his command have the level of the Royal Knights, if the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command can reach the level of the Royal Knights, Tiger is also confident that he can defeat Duke Tulip, after all, he has a great advantage in numbers But Tiger thought of this and still smiled bitterly.
The Royal Order belonged to the Kingdom of Sauron.
The Kingdom of Sauron owns a small half of the entire Roland continent and population.
Only then did they have enough capital to build such a cavalry army that claimed to be the only one in the Holy Knights.
But this is already the limit of the kingdom of Sauron.
Because it is located at the southernmost point of the Roland Continent, the Kingdom of Sauron has spent most of its energy on maintaining a strong naval force, and everyone knows the important surname of the navy, without a strong navy, the heretics of the Bright Empire crossed the sea two hundred years ago In this way, the two sides confronted each other on the Pamir Plain, during which the two sides fought several fierce battles, and after several field battles, although the quality of the army of the Bright Empire was much higher than that of the Rolands, the Rolands relied on their numerical superiority to maintain the situation.
That night, seeing that both sides sent hundreds of people to clean up the battlefield, this moment was a tacit understanding between the two warring sides in peacetime, the people sent by both sides carefully searched for the wounded soldiers who had not yet died on the battlefield, carried them back, and then cleaned up the corpses, gathered them together and ignited the flames on the edge of the battlefield, and the bodies of the soldiers who died in the battle turned into ashes in the flames.
At this moment, the Roland people are still reminiscing about the amazing scene of today's field battle Today, both sides have invested their full capital, the Empire of Light has sent out their trump card, the Whip of Thor, and the Roland people are the Holy Knights.
Facing the scene of thousands of horses galloping on both sides, it was as if the whole earth was shaking and even the clouds on the horizon were scattered.
Hundreds of thousands of people witnessed the frontal defense of the strongest cavalry legions on both continents Roland's expectations for the Holy Knights are very high in their hearts, and in their hearts, they have already recognized the terrifying nature of Thor's whip, and they have also witnessed the power of Thor's whip.
And the Roland people also believe that the only one who can defend the Thunder God's whip on the battlefield is the Holy Knights.
But the truth surprised them at one point.
Perhaps, in an ordinary state, the Holy Knights could resist Thor's Whip, but if it was under the leadership of that terrifying Duke Tulip, Thor's Whip's charge could crush any enemy in front of them Since the only paladin in the army who could confront Duke Tulip head-on at the moment was seriously injured and had not recovered, the attack of the Holy Knights was launched under the leadership of the three great knights.
Then hundreds of thousands of people also witnessed Duke Tulip personally kill the three big knights on the battlefield, one of the big knights died particularly miserably, Duke Tulip's amazing sword hit his horse fiercely, and then saw the big knight and the horse flew out, fell in the chaos of ten thousand horses, and finally the people who cleaned up the battlefield at night could not even find his body, all of them had been trampled into meat by tens of thousands of horses' hooves "What the hell are we here for, is it true that the temple has let our soldiers come here to die," Tiger pondered To be continued:
