Lords go left, Emperors go right

On the eve of the war, the intelligence gathering work of the border guards of the Principality of Dennis was misleading. They thought that the attacking Obelisk Empire Army and Blomfield Alliance had not solved the supply and transportation problem, and that the food and supplies could not keep up, so they could not fight a long-term war of attrition. If that was the case, the soldiers starving to death would be more costly than the casualties in the war. As long as the garrison dragged on, they would win. Little did they know that Osta had already relied on the high-tech support provided by the "Mechanical Angel" Salia to use the hyperspace compression capsule, a special space storage ring black technology, to perfectly solve the problem of carrying and transporting supplies.

After Osta gave specific instructions and made arrangements, "Mechanical Angel" Salia and "Black Dragon" Onitana took off almost at the same time. Both beauties had the ability to fly, but their flying methods were slightly different. Salia relied on mechanical wings and propulsion devices, while Onitana used dragon wings. After the two of them flew to high altitudes, Salia conducted navigation and positioning in the air, allowing the special launch device on the ground to launch several special snow-melting missiles. The snow-melting missiles exploded over the Alps and Volgaron Mountains. With the help of the explosion, a large amount of special snow-melting agents spread directly to a large area around them, and began to play a special effect of rapidly melting snow.

It is not winter in the Central Continent right now. This sudden and strange snowfall has no climate basis and is easy to melt. The scene of the snow covering the entire mountain melting rapidly is quite spectacular. The defenders were in a panic for a while. All the snow in the barracks melted and turned into a flood in an instant. At the Bain Fortress at the forefront of the Alps Mountain Defense Zone, the defenders were dealing with the flooding of the fortress. Many arrows and defense equipment were flooded and could not be used after being wet.

"What's wrong with the weather? It changes so suddenly. The snow melted so quickly."

"Who knows! It's not right to snow at this time of year. The timing is wrong, which is a big problem. It wouldn't be surprising if something strange happened next time!"

"What are you fussing about? It's just the snow melting. What's the point of making such a fuss?"

"Lord Kemal, a suspicious flying target was spotted in the sky."

"Archers, get ready and shoot any suspicious targets."

"Sir Kemal, most of our arrows are soaked with water. I'm afraid we can't accomplish our mission of shooting."

"Bring up the spare arrows, idiot."

General Kemal, the commander of Bain Fortress, is one of the "five generals" under the supreme commander Rebel. This old general is an excellent archer and is good at bow and arrow shooting. After hearing that the snow had melted, Kemal came to the outskirts of Bain Fortress as soon as possible. After hearing the report from the soldiers, Kemal looked up and found the "mechanical angel" Salia and the "black dragon" Onitana stagnant in the sky. Kemal assumed that these two beauties flying in the air were members of the Blomfield coalition and did not care about gentlemanly manners. He issued a shooting order and asked his archers to prepare to shoot. After all, on the battlefield, there is no gentlemanly manner of giving priority to ladies.

The archers around Kemal quickly prepared, using their bows to aim at Salia and Onitana in the air. After a round of volleys, hundreds of arrows were shot almost simultaneously at the enemy. Salia's early warning system had already noticed it, but she didn't care. This level of attack could not break her defense at all. Whether it was a long-range bow or a close-range crossbow, it was impossible to penetrate Salia's mechanical armor. Of course, out of respect, Salia planned to act a little and take a defensive posture. When she was about to activate the defense field, Onitana gestured to Salia not to do anything.

The dragon wings behind Onitana waved slightly, and after the dragon flapped its wings, it stirred up a hurricane, knocking down all the arrows that were shot at it. Hundreds of arrows were fired at once, but they were destroyed before they could reach the target. Some arrows even returned the same way, and some archers were caught off guard and hit by their own arrows. The Bain Fortress was in chaos, and the archers screamed in agony. Some unlucky people were shot in the head by their own or friendly arrows after they were rebounded, and were killed instantly.

This one easily dispelled the rain of arrows from the defenders with a single strike. Onitana only used the pair of dragon wings behind her to gently flap and instantly killed several unprepared archers. With a single strike, she broke the defenders' attack. This time it was the opponent's turn to be embarrassed. Hundreds of elite archers and experienced archers could not handle one or two women sent by the opponent. The gap was too big.

"Why are you panicking? It's just some witchcraft. There's nothing to be afraid of. Bring me the bow."

"Lord Kemal, those two women may have bad intentions. We need to be careful."

"They are just two women, what are you afraid of? I have fought in many battlefields and have seen many storms. Do I need you to teach me how to do things?"

"Master Kemal, I dare not."

"Don't panic, I will decide the outcome with one arrow."

"Master Kemal is mighty. This time, we will definitely win the battle."

General Kemal saw that the morale of the soldiers around him was unstable. This old general always had a bad temper. He ignored the advice of his subordinates and ordered his subordinates to bring his special longbow, a black longbow with ancient patterns on it. This "Sky-shaking Bow" is also a famous weapon. All previous users are archery masters who can shoot through the target at a hundred steps. Kemal used this Sky-shaking Bow before and shot many enemy generals at a distance. It was famous for a while. This time, he didn't think too much. He bent his bow and aimed at the opponent, the "mechanical angel" Salia.

Coincidentally, Salia also noticed General Kemal among the other archers. The old general was wearing special armor. The armor of the commander was obviously different from that of ordinary soldiers and was easy to distinguish. When Kemal was about to shoot, Salia casually raised the pink and white special sniper rifle in her hand, quickly aimed, and pulled the trigger in one go. The arrow shot by Kemal collided head-on with the pink laser shot by Salia while flying in the air. After a brief encounter between the two sides, the arrow was directly melted by the laser.

Before Kemal could react, he was hit in the head by the opponent's beam. The defense of the general's helmet was useless against the laser, and it was almost as good as paper. After the beam, General Kemal's entire head was pierced, and he became a headless general. His body stood in the same place, still maintaining the posture of shooting arrows. The scene was quite weird. The weapon used by Salia was as powerful as an anti-material sniper. It was easy to shoot off a head with a heavy sniper firearm. Salia just aimed casually and used the locking device for ordinary shooting. It was not a real sniper. If she wanted to snipe, the power of the beam would be even greater than this time. At that time, let alone the head, even the body would be gone. This time, she showed mercy and left most of the body to the opponent.

General Kemal met with the enemy and was killed by the "mechanical angel" Salia when they were sniping at the middle gate. Affected by this unexpected change, the entire Bain Fortress defenders soon became chaotic and all members lost their composure. For a time, they fell into a terrible state of being leaderless. Although there were adjutants in command, the fact that the supreme commander was killed by the opponent before the war really affected the morale and the will to fight. Kemal failed in the sniping duel with Salia. The times have changed. The longbow cannot compare to the sniper rifle. The weapon in Salia's hand is still a product of super high-tech civilization, a laser rifle, which is more powerful than a sniper rifle. Even if Kemal's weapon is a longbow, a famous weapon such as the Thunder Bow, it still cannot change the situation. The gap is too big.

When the Bain Fortress was in chaos, Rebes, the sister of the supreme commander Rebel, was inspecting the defense of the fortress of Gorenz, the frontline fortress on the second highest peak of Volgaron Mountain next door. After the ice and snow suddenly melted, the defenders here were also busy dealing with the flood of melted ice and snow. Rebes had a worried expression on her face. The melting of snow was not a good thing for the defenders. It meant that the weather would improve. Without the special environment bonus of heavy snow, the defenders lost the weather and could only rely on the terrain to block the attack of the Blomfield coalition. At that time, I am afraid they would not be able to hold on for long. There were only about 20,000 defenders on Volgaron Mountain. When the war started, there would definitely not be enough people.

Accompanying Rebes on the inspection was Ivan, the commander of the Golenz Fortress and also one of the five generals. This young general was very talented in military affairs and good at strategy. He was eager to show off in front of his boss Rebes. Ivan did not pay too much attention to the abnormal situation of the sudden change in weather, and felt that it had little impact on the military. Rebes looked at Ivan, who was standing next to her with a confident expression. She hesitated for a moment and did not say anything to him. This handsome man with short blue hair, blue eyes, and a height of about 170cm, had a background of a famous military school. It was inevitable that he was a little overconfident. Ivan was a little dissatisfied with the arrangement of this war. He felt that with his personal ability, he should be able to be the commander of an important military fortress on the main battlefield, the Alps, but he did not expect to be transferred to the secondary battlefield, the Volgaron Mountains.

Ivan had been looking forward to the position of commander of Bain Fortress, but Rebel arranged it for the old general Kemal, who was also a five-time general, saying that he was a veteran, had more battlefield experience than young people, and was more stable. Ivan was not convinced, but he couldn't show it in person. General Kemal joined the Principality of Dennis when he was young, and followed the previous two lords of the principality. He was a veteran of three dynasties, and his seniority was too obvious to be able to hold an important position. Ivan had objections to this qualification. If his superiors were not all beautiful girls, and if the highest command position of the sisters Rebel and Rebes was replaced by someone else, a male general, Ivan would probably not be so easy to talk to. He would not care about gentlemanly manners and would directly curse, with the intention of overthrowing his superiors.

"Sir Ivan, my sister must have her own considerations in making such arrangements. You don't have to worry too much."

"Ms. Rebes, I have no objection to Lady Rebel's arrangement, I just feel bored. We can't fight here. If I can switch positions with Kemal who is on the front line, the new tactics I have researched will definitely play a greater role."

"Sir Ivan, what you learn from books is definitely different from what you actually do on the battlefield. It is not advisable to talk about war on paper."

"Ms. Rebecca, I understand this. Don't worry, with me here, the Gorenz Fortress will be impregnable and will not allow any enemy to pass through here."

"Well, Your Excellency Ivan, please be careful. I still have to go to the Truk Fortress behind to check the situation."

"No problem, Ms. Rebecca. Regarding the transfer, I hope you can say a few good words for me in front of Lady Rebecca."

"I understand, Your Excellency Ivan. I will do my best."

Rebes nodded slightly to show her understanding of Ivan's request, but did not make a clear promise. The fortress commander's dispatch was the responsibility of her sister Rebel. Rebes herself had no real power and had no right to interfere, so she could not give any guarantee to others. The garrison defense bases on Volga Mountain were mainly divided into three places. The base camp Volgano Castle had more than 10,000 garrisons, which were directly commanded by Rebes. The other two defense bases were the Golenz Fortress at the forefront and the Truk Fortress in the middle. The former had more than 4,000 garrisons, which were directly commanded by General Ivan, one of the five generals, and the latter had more than 6,000 garrisons, and the commander was also one of the five generals, "Blue Dragon" Ingrit. Compared with "wise general" Ivan, Ingrit, who also came from a famous military school, was not so conceited. She was quite pragmatic, steady, and calm, and not impetuous. Most importantly, Ingrit had a good relationship with Beileisi, and they were close girlfriends.

At this time, Beleis didn't know that Kemal, one of the five generals, had been killed instantly by the opponent. After failing to snipe, she led her men to leave the Golenz Fortress and head to the Truk Fortress in the middle. The Truk Fortress was also busy dealing with the problem of melting snow. The arrows and many defensive equipment of the defenders were soaked by the snow, which seriously affected their use. If the enemy took advantage of this special opportunity to launch a direct attack, the defenders would appear to be in a passive position.

Ingrid came out to greet Beless in person. This beautiful general became the commander of the fortress at a young age and was one of the five generals. She was about the same age as the sisters Rebel and Rebeth, and she was really capable. Ingrid looked solemn, and it was hard to see a relaxed expression on her beautiful face. All kinds of omens showed that the Blomfield coalition was about to start the attack. Ivan, the "wise general" who served as the vanguard in the front, still underestimated the enemy and was obviously unreliable. There were only more than 20,000 defenders in the Volgaron Mountains. If the enemy commander General Omley was not a fool, he would definitely give priority to picking the weak persimmons. It was impossible for him to leave the place with 20,000 defenders alone and concentrate his forces to attack the Alps where more than 60,000 defenders were stationed. For the time being, regardless of the highest peak, the priority is to attack here. If Ingrid were the commander of the attacking side, she would also command in this way.

"Senior Ingrid, you look so nervous, and the battle hasn't even started yet? We have three days to prepare."

"Rebecca, do you really think the other side will be so punctual and keep to this time? I don't think Lady Rebel would think so either."

"Senior Ingrid, can you relax a little? Why are you as tense as my sister? Life has to go on."

"Okay, Rebecca, I was overthinking it. Please follow me. The private room and dessert are ready."

"Senior Ingrid, you don't have to worry too much. I have met the enemy's supreme commander as a special envoy before. Prince Osta gave me a very good impression. That gentleman should not make things difficult for a lady. Even if we lose the war, we will..."

"Rebecca, why is your face red? What are you thinking about... Forget it. Even if I die in battle, I will not surrender. I don't believe he can..."

"Senior Ingrid, I am just telling the truth. Although I did not meet General Omlai during that visit, Prince Osta is the highest decision maker."

"Rebecca, don't be fooled by appearances. They are all members of the royal family of the Obelisk Empire. Maybe Osta is a warmongerer like the second prince Oster."

Rebeth's heart was already shaken, but she couldn't say it out loud. If she said something wrong, it would shake the morale of the army. Then, she might be locked up by her sister Rebecca and reflect on herself. As for Osta's character, this lady still believed in her own directness and judgment. When they met, the happy expressions on the faces of the other sisters present were not fake. Unfortunately, now that the war has begun, Rebecca can only put away these little thoughts for the time being. Praising the enemy's high-ranking officers may be regarded as a treasonous act of collaborating with the enemy before the war.

When Ingrid was talking to Rebes, she didn't notice that there were several small snakes nearby secretly observing the two beauties. Those small snakes shared everything they saw through their bond with the "snake witches" Samadiya sisters who were remotely commanding everything in the rear. Samadiyas and Samadiyara locked their targets at the same time. As the leaders of the Sarahanim people, their own combat effectiveness was stronger than the three beautiful tribal chieftains under their command. They could control the snakes in a certain range to help them do things and share the observation vision of the group of snakes. Although Osta didn't say it explicitly, with their understanding of their master, they already knew how to deal with the prisoners of war. The gentleman prince would definitely not kill beautiful girls. At that time, try to capture them alive. Ingrid and Rebes didn't realize that they had been targeted by the opponent and arranged the relevant aftermath of the war in advance.

When the snow on the mountain melted halfway, the "Mechanical Angel" Salia launched missiles with fast refrigerants. The refrigerants spread to the surroundings with the air explosion of these special missiles, causing the snow and water to freeze quickly. This caught the defenders in the fortress off guard. The snow quickly recovered, and many of these defenders were frozen before they could retreat to higher ground, turning into ice sculptures on the spot. The water on their uniforms was extremely deadly at this time.

The garrisons on the Alps and the Volgaron Mountains, as well as all the military fortresses, were affected by the melting and condensation of the snow. The temperature dropped sharply, even lower than before. The bonfires were dimmed and could not provide any warmth. Many of the garrisons' equipment had been stained by the snow, and after the temperature dropped rapidly, they were frozen to death on the spot. Even worse, many fortifications and various equipment were destroyed by the ice formed by the snow and could not be used. The garrisons were shivering and could not even stand steadily, let alone fight.

The vanguard of the Blomfield coalition went out at this time, taking advantage of the opportunity that the archers on the other side were too cold to draw the bowstrings of their longbows, and launched a direct attack. The vanguard's target was the Alps, and the target was directly aimed at the Bain Fortress at the forefront of the defenders. The highest commander of the Bain Fortress, Skybow Kemal, one of the five generals, had failed in a super-long-range sniping match with the "Mechanical Angel" Salia and was killed instantly. The fortress was in a state of chaos without a leader, and the morale of the army was scattered. Even if the remaining deputy generals wanted to command, they could not stop the chaotic morale of the army.

The leader of the Bloomfield coalition's vanguard was "Mad Axe" Katrina, a brown-skinned beauty with light leather armor, dark green twin ponytails, and blood-red eyes. She carried a heavy-looking double-edged battle axe in her right hand, and stood at the front with her left hand on her waist. The axe in Katrina's hand was shaking all the time, and it seemed that she was impatient for the battle, waiting for the "Black Dragon" Onitana in the sky to send her a signal to attack, waiting for the gesture to start the attack. The Sarahanim people were martial and liked war, and this problem was difficult to change. It couldn't be changed in a short time, and Osta didn't plan to make relevant corrections.

"Finally, we can start the battle. Follow me and charge forward. It's time to show our bravery to the Lord."

"Lord Commander, the enemy has moved out. The enemy is attacking. We..."

"At this time... Where are the archers? Prepare to meet the enemy."

"No, Lord Commander, the arrow is covered in ice and cannot be strung."

"Damn it, where's the kerosene!"

"Sir, the equipment is almost frozen and cannot be used at all."

The defenders of Bain Fortress numbered about 10,000. As the commander of the front line, Kemal, one of the five generals, was an old general with rich combat experience. If he was in charge, there would have been no problem. However, the defenders probably didn't expect that General Kemal was killed by the enemy before the battle. The defenders of Bain Fortress lacked a backbone at this time, and their morale had collapsed. They had no way to organize an effective resistance. Some soldiers left the front line without authorization, deserted, and fled to the Bellant Fortress in the rear.

Osta adopted the tactic of simultaneous attack, secretly commanding the Blomfield coalition to attack the Alps and the Volgarian Mountains at the same time, not giving the opposite side time to support each other. Osta had thought about the tactic of separate attacks before, but later felt that it was not safe and that the opposite side could not be wiped out in one fell swoop, so he adopted the tactic of simultaneous attack.

When the Dranges Mountain Line was officially attacked by the Obelisk Empire Army, the capital of the Principality of Dennis was still peaceful, and was completely unaware of the threat of war. Baron Breda and Viscount Kuros, important and trusted subordinates of Lord Denfort, who had grown up with the other party and were obviously good friends, were busy enjoying themselves. Baron Breda was in charge of finances and served as the treasurer, in charge of the financial power of the Principality of Dennis, while Viscount Kuros served as the Knight Commander of the Principality and was responsible for the dispatch of all the garrisons in the capital of the Principality, the city of Danpila.

The personal abilities of Baron Breda and Viscount Kuros are far inferior to those of the female general Rebel stationed at the border. They are truly useless teammates. Not only do they not help, they also secretly trip them up. The dozens of military expedited documents sent by Rebel were secretly withheld by this pair of idiots, deliberately not letting the lord, Count Denfort, know. When the "Night Witch" Kavna was around, she could still restrain these two incompetent ministers a little and balance the delicate relationship between the three ministers. Now, after Kavna mysteriously lost contact and disappeared completely and was kidnapped by a gentleman prince, no one came to take care of Baron Breda and Viscount Kuros. They just started to act. After Kavna resigned, the supervisory position was vacant, and she was unable to stop the useless teammates from playing badly and selling out their teammates.

"That bitch Rebel is really causing trouble. They are just a bunch of barbarians. Even if they have more people, they are still scum. They have the nerve to ask us for reinforcements and take the opportunity to ask for more military funds."

"Breda, the treasury should still have a lot of military funds. How much did you take?"

"Kuros, don't say anything nonsense. If the Earl finds out, then..."

"What are you afraid of, Breda, you coward. My elder brother has a new love recently and is completely obsessed with her. Why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to get some benefits? That housekeeper Kavna left without even saying goodbye. This is a rare God-given opportunity."

"Kuros, actually, I already...Don't get excited yet."

"Damn it, Breda, you are worthy of it. You have already taken so much, it would be unreasonable if you don't share some with your brothers!"

"Kuros, that's easy. Let's get rich together."

Baron Breda and Viscount Kuros were secretly discussing how to steal from the national treasury. The war on the front seemed to have nothing to do with them. The lord, Earl Denfort, had been kept in the dark until this moment and was still unaware that the other side had already begun the attack. There were no reinforcements from the Dranges Mountains, and the outcome of the isolated army defending to the death was doomed from the beginning before the two sides went to war.

Chapter 82: The Border Guards of the Principality Are Defeaten (Part 2)

————This chapter (9K)————

In the eastern border area of ​​the Blomfield region of the Central Continent, on the Dranges Mountains, the highest peak in the region, the Alps, and the second highest peak, the Volgaron Mountains, fierce battles broke out between the attacking Obelisk Empire Army and the defending Dennis Principality garrison. The total strength of the Blomfield coalition forces secretly commanded by Lord Osta reached 600,000. With the advantage of strength and the leading position in numbers, the Gentleman Prince took advantage of the situation and launched a full-scale attack on the two areas at the same time. The total number of troops stationed by the Dennis Principality border garrison was only about 80,000, and the difference in strength between the two sides was more than six times. The highest commanders of the Dennis Principality border garrison, the sisters Lady Rebel and Rebes, had no way to launch a counterattack. They could only delay as much as possible to block the opponent's advance speed.

As the full-scale offensive began, the military fortresses located at the forefront bore the brunt of the attack and became the target of the Blomfield coalition. The Bain Fortress in the Alps and the Golenz Fortress in Volgaron soon became the front lines of the battle. The commanders stationed at these two military fortresses were one of the five generals under Rebel, the old general "Sky Bow" Kemal and the "Wise General" Ivan. There were more than 10,000 defenders at Bain Fortress and more than 4,000 defenders at Golenz Fortress.

The vanguard troops attacking Bain Fortress numbered about 50,000 people, and the vanguard commander was "Crazy Axe" Katrina. When the coalition forces attacked, the supreme commander of Bain Fortress, the old general Kemal, who served as the commander of the fortress, was gone. He failed in a super-long-range sniping match with the "mechanical angel" Salia who was scouting in the sky using the "Zhentian Bow", and was shot in the head by Salia with the plasma laser sniper rifle in her hand, killing the general in advance. The morale of the Bain Fortress defenders who lost their main general was in chaos, like a pile of loose sand, and their fighting spirit was greatly reduced. There was no way to organize a decent resistance. In addition to some archers who returned to the fortress wall and held their posts, many defenders became deserters, left their guards without authorization, and chose to evacuate to the Bellant Fortress in the rear. As the number of deserters increased, the front line could no longer maintain stability.

Katrina charged at the front of the team, ignoring the long-range bows and arrows of the Bain Fortress defenders. After being baptized by snow and water, most of the defenders' arrows were unusable and could only pose a limited threat. Katrina raised the giant double-edged battle axe in her hand and cleared the way ahead. Behind her were the most elite and brave warriors among the Orc tribe clan members. The weapons used by these warriors were all battle axes. They were like the ancient Viking berserkers on Earth, following their family leaders and charging. The defenders of Bain Fortress, those archers, had just emerged from the city wall and had no time to shoot a few arrows before they were directly attacked by the flying axes thrown by the attacking warriors.

The tribal warriors behind Katrina all carried two battle axes, two battle axes crossed behind their backs, and several throwing axes with them. The accuracy of these thrown axes was quite high. Many archers on the walls of Bain Fortress were hit by flying axes and killed on the spot. The weapons and equipment of the defenders were all light armor such as leather armor, which could not defend against the throwing of flying axes. After a few rounds of flying axes, no archer dared to show up. The city walls were suppressed. The originally built fortifications and archer towers were temporarily unusable due to the snow. They were of no use at all. This directly led to a severe output environment for the defenders' archers, and they could not output relatively safely.

Katrina quickly charged to the main gate of Bain Fortress. This beautiful berserker always disdained the tactics of sneak attacks from behind. She always attacked head-on and fought to the death. Katrina swung the double-edged battle axe in her hand and chopped it down several times. The heavy gate of Bain Fortress was directly split open. The gate was broken by chopping down from the middle of the door. With the gate of the fortress broken open, the last defense of Bain Fortress was breached. Several soldiers guarding the gate had just picked up their weapons and had no time to fight back. They were cut in half by the double-edged battle axe wielded by Katrina. The scene was quite bloody and stunned the other nearby defenders.

"Quick...quickly stop her, the gate has been breached."

"That woman is a monster! With such great strength, she's coming...coming here, hurry...run..."

"What a bunch of cowards! Can't you fight like men? How boring."

"Don't retreat, hold on till the end. We will live and die with Bain Fortress. You are being disrespectful to the old general. Lord Kemal's body is still warm. You..."

"It seems that there are still capable fighters here. Little girl, you are much better than those losers. At least you have some courage."

"Hmph, thank you for the compliment, sister. You are so ungraceful to attack during the peace talks."

"You guys are serious? There is no such thing as peace talks."

Katrina was almost unstoppable. She swept the giant double-edged battle axe all the way across. The defenders in front of her were like paper. All of them were killed by the battle axe without any resistance. Inspired by Katrina's strong power, the berserkers behind her quickly followed up and fought their way out. The vanguard troops quickly broke through and devoured the defenders' positions like a whirlwind. The defenders threw away their armor and wailed and retreated one after another. When the battle was about to be completely one-sided, someone from the defenders finally came out to take charge of the situation and stabilize the morale of the army.

A beautiful woman wearing a snow-white swordsman suit fell from the sky and blocked Katrina. The weapon she used was an exquisite rapier. The moment she landed, she quickly swung a few beautiful sword flowers and repelled the approaching vanguard of the Blomfield coalition. The real name of this beautiful swordsman is Kelly, nicknamed "Pure White Sword Shadow". Although she is not one of the five generals, her personal strength and combat effectiveness have reached the level of the five generals. She failed to be selected mainly because of her background and qualifications.

Kellys was not from a famous military school. She was originally a wandering adventurer. Because of her superb swordsmanship and extraordinary talent, she accepted Rebel's recruitment and joined the border guards of the Principality of Dennis. Rebel specially arranged for her to learn from Kemal, the "Sky Bow", one of the five generals. The original plan was to accumulate experience and wait for the old general to retire so that she could smoothly take over the position of the five generals. However, plans often cannot keep up with changes. Kemal, the commander of Bain Fortress and one of the five generals, died early, and Kellys was forced to take office early. Looking at the "Mad Axe" Katrina in front of her who was much taller than herself, Kellys did not have much confidence that she could win. The first impression of her opponent was that she was a berserker, and her strength was obviously much stronger than her.

High in the sky, "Mechanical Angel" Salia had already started long-range sniping and secretly locked onto "Pure White Sword Shadow" Carlis. After seeing that the other party was a girl, Salia manually adjusted it and turned off the beam firing mode of the plasma laser sniper rifle in her hand, switching it to ballistic mode, and then replaced a few tranquilizer bullets. "Black Dragon" Onitana was watching from the side. After she came forward to stop it, Salia did not shoot coldly, but chose to watch the battle secretly and see how the situation changed. Katrina over there wanted to fight Carlis openly, so she could not sneak attack before the battle.

"Onitana, you are..."

"Saria, just let Katrina take action, don't interfere."

"Onitana, I just want to capture that girl alive. You know that our Lord's hobby is always to collect beautiful girls."

"Sallya, of course I know. Don't worry, Katrina knows all this just like I do, and I promise I won't let the Lord down."

"Well, Onitana, I'll leave it to you this time. If you can't hold it, I'll help."

"Saliya, you can rest now. It won't be difficult for Katrina to capture that girl alive."

Salia's original intention was to anesthetize Kellys directly, then capture her alive and bring her back to Osta. Before the war, the gentleman prince specifically told his beautiful clan leaders many relevant matters to pay attention to. The treatment of prisoners of war is different according to the gender of the enemy, and the difference is quite obvious. Since Onitana personally came forward to stop it, Salia had to give up the original plan and let the other party do it. The two sides are now in a coalition relationship, not in opposition to each other as before, so this kind of face should still be given.

The soldiers on both sides of the battle retreated consciously, leaving a wider arena for the two of them. The members of the Sarahanim tribe were martial and highly respected the duel between the generals in front of the two armies. At least in this regard, they valued martial ethics and would not launch sneak attacks when the generals were dueling. Of course, the "mechanical angel" Salia who was supporting from a distance was not a Sarahanim. She was the beautiful tribe leader of the primitive Lonosbil tribe. She only cared about efficiency and did not consider martial ethics. The unspoken rule had no binding force on her.

Kellys knew that the Bellant Fortress behind Bain Fortress was not fully prepared for the battle at this time. If most of the defenders of Bain Fortress retreated without a fight, the Bellant Fortress behind would be even more passive. If they received a batch of deserters and did not solve the resettlement problem, they would have to go to war. At that time, both fortresses would be quickly breached by the other side. In that case, it would be better to fight to the death in Bain Fortress. It would be a gain if they could hold on for a while longer, at least buying some time for the rear to prepare for the battle.

Kaelis was agile and took the initiative. She quickly swung her sword and attacked Katrina. Katrina used a double-edged battle axe to fight back. Although the weapon she used was a huge axe, Katrina was good at using this weapon. She had enough strength to control the huge axe and blocked it easily. Kaelis seemed to have the initiative, but in fact she didn't get any advantage. All her attacks were perfectly blocked by the opponent. Katrina was not in a hurry to counterattack. While blocking, she secretly observed the opponent's sword pattern and waited until she understood the routine before launching a targeted counterattack.

"Lord Ivan, the enemy is attacking!"

"The enemy is coming to attack at this time. It seems that everything is as I expected. They will attack us first. Be prepared to fight. There are so many enemies coming."

"Sir Ivan, according to the scouts' estimation, the enemy force is over 50,000 strong, and the commander seems to be a woman."

"The enemy commander is a woman? This is too much of a disrespect to me. How much fighting power can a mere woman have?"

"Master Ivan, do you want to report this to Master Rebecca?"

"No need. We are capable of handling it. We need to fight a good blocking battle this time and impress Lady Rebel and Lady Rebes."

When the Bain Fortress was in a tough battle, the first line of defense of the Volgaron Mountains next door, the Golenz Fortress, was also attacked by the Blomfield coalition at the same time. The vanguard of the attack also had more than 50,000 people. The commander of the Golenz Fortress, the "wise general" Ivan, heard that the commander of the invading enemy was a woman, and he underestimated the enemy and thought that the female general had little combat effectiveness. This young general was originally a graduate of a famous military school. He was born in a special background and had a special status. Ivan himself was very talented in military command and strategy, and he had a high opinion of himself. Therefore, he finally found an opportunity to show his ability and wanted to prove himself.

The total strength of the Golenz Fortress was only over 4,000 soldiers. Facing a powerful enemy attack, they could have asked for military support from the Truk Fortress in the rear. The latter had over 6,000 soldiers, and was commanded by one of the five generals, Ingrid, the "Blue Dragon". However, Ingrid herself was a graduate of a prestigious military school, and Ivan was not from the same school. If he asked her for support, Ivan would feel embarrassed and would be lowering his status and appearing inferior. Therefore, he did not ask for help, and planned to rely on the over 4,000 soldiers in his hands to fight a beautiful defensive counterattack.

The fortifications in the Golenz Fortress were also affected by the snow to a certain extent, but the impact was not great. In addition to archers, Ivan's army also had a corps of hundreds of combat magicians. Long-range combat units such as magicians were limited by the weather environment, and their normal performance would not be reduced much. The corps of combat magicians was the real trump card in the hands of the "wise general" Ivan. Relying on this killer, as long as there was a magic tower, one against ten, or even one against a hundred was not a problem. Many of the defense towers in the Golenz Fortress were dual-purpose. Relevant issues had been considered when they were built. These defense towers could be used as both arrow towers and magic towers. The appearance adopted the mainstream shape of arrow towers, giving the enemy the illusion that they were just arrow towers.

Ivan miscalculated this time. The commander of the vanguard of the Blomfield coalition forces that attacked the Golenz Fortress was the "black witch" Natasha, who had soft, dark blue hair, a standard long straight hairstyle, and a pair of dark green magic eyes. This beautiful patriarch was dressed in a cool witch outfit. She held a witch's staff in her right hand, and on top of the staff was a blue crystal ball held by several claws. On the palm of her left hand, there was a dark blue nether fire. Her brown skin was particularly conspicuous in the ice and snow.

Behind Natasha followed a group of wizards who were dressed in similar styles and wearing all kinds of strange accessories. These were all clan members of the witch tribe. There were more female believers and fewer male believers who followed Natasha to practice witchcraft. In the field of witchcraft, women have more innate advantages in practice. The number of witches is generally more than that of male wizards. The base number is there. Although there are fewer male wizards, the upper limit of practice is higher than that of witches. Among the more famous wizards, male and female wizards are equal.

Natasha was not like Katrina, who charged directly. She stood at the front of the team, looking thoughtfully at the fortifications outside the Golenz Fortress in the distance and the arrow tower. Long before the battle, Natasha had noticed that there might be magic units in the enemy's army, so she was not in a hurry to attack. The male and female believers behind her were making some witchcraft scarecrows that were about the size of small dolls on the spot according to Natasha's instructions. The number of scarecrows has reached more than 3,000. The total number of male and female believers and witches on Natasha's side is close to 3,000. There is no doubt that the magic combat units will crush the defenders of the Golenz Fortress. The black witch mainly wants to avoid casualties among her believers as much as possible. She did a lot of preparation before the battle.

At Natasha's signal, these witchcraft scarecrows, after being cast by her followers, the witches and witches, grew larger one by one, and soon they were life-size, looking no different from real legion soldiers. The puppet army composed of scarecrows lined up in front of the army as a test force to scout the area. This group of puppet army looked almost the same as the real soldiers of the Obelisk Empire Army, almost to the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing. Unless there was a close-range battle, it would be difficult to see the difference. Natasha planned to use the puppet army as bait to lure the battle magician army in the opposite Gorenz Fortress to take action. When the position was exposed, Natasha's believers, the witches and witches, could launch long-range magic attacks and catch the opponent off guard.

"Lady Natasha, the puppet army is ready and can set off at any time."

"Follow the plan, put out the bait, and wait for the big fish to take the bait, then we'll make our move."

"Lady Natasha, do you need to ask Lady Onitana for air support and cooperate with us in the battle?"

"Don't bother Black Dragon. The rear of those guys, by now, Mistress Samadias and Mistress Samadiara have probably already started to act."

"Everyone listen up, we just need to attack head-on and help Samadias and Samadiara to attract the enemy's attention."
