The shopkeeper behind the counter came over immediately when he saw that things were not going well. He separated the men and offered to appease the soldiers for free today. Of course, business is based on harmony, not to mention that these men are all soldiers. Both groups knew that it was good to have a way out, so they stopped fighting. The one who was beaten could only think that he was unlucky. The two guys did not dare to go up and hit the soldier who had fought with the wolf man.

At this time, a messenger arrived at the tavern and said, "Everyone, gather outside the two worlds formation in an hour and return to your team. The lord will come soon to give a speech in person and have important things to announce." The messenger's words made all the careful soldiers sober up instantly. They immediately put their clothes in order and walked towards their camp.

An hour passed quickly, and nearly 2000 imperial knights gathered on a flat grassland. The captains of each team kept patrolling on both sides of the team, trying their best to pick out those in their team who were in disheveled and let them tidy up their clothes. The lord's personal lecture was not something that could be encountered once or twice a year. Usually, the lord would not meet with all the soldiers unless there was nothing wrong.

After everyone had gathered, a middle-aged man riding a black horse and wearing exquisite armor came to the front of the 2000 cavalry. This man was none other than Richard, the lord of Holy Light City and Holy Light Territory. Today, Lord Richard was wearing silver armor, a beautiful helmet, a long sword at his waist, leather boots on his feet, and a bunch of red feathers on his helmet, which was particularly eye-catching. His eyes were sharp and his expression was serious. The beard on the corner of his mouth showed that Richard was no longer young.

Behind Richard, there was a team of nearly 100 elite knights. Each knight was wearing iron armor and was over meters tall. They all rode snow-white two-headed magic horses. However, the two-headed magic horses these people rode were a little different from those of other cavalrymen. These two-headed magic horses were much stronger than those ridden by others.

"Welcome, Lord. Welcome, Lord. Welcome, Lord." Seeing the Lord coming, a team officer waved his hand, and everyone shouted loudly. This was practiced in advance, and it also showed respect for the Lord.

"Okay, okay, my most loyal soldiers, you are the pillars of the empire, you are the cornerstone of the country, and you are my private soldiers. This time the gnolls invaded our territory, and the captain of the third squad hit them head-on, killing more than a hundred gnolls. This also let the gnolls know how powerful our imperial soldiers are, but it is not polite to return the favor. This group of damn gnolls actually came to our territory and plundered nearly 20,000 people. This is simply intolerable. If we let people bully us at our doorstep and don't show any reaction, then we are not men, not gentlemen. Should we kill these hateful gnolls?" Richard shouted loudly

"Deserve to be killed, deserve to be killed, deserve to be killed," the soldiers said in unison. Everyone who heard the news had a strong desire to kill. No one knew that the Jackals had plundered nearly 20,000 people. Those were 20,000 young and strong people, not the elderly, weak, women and children. They were the backbone of the family! As soldiers, if they did not show any reaction, they would be unworthy of being the defenders of the empire.

"Okay, to commend the soldiers for their heroic fighting. I promote the captain of the third squad to the rank of squadron leader. The team will recruit soldiers nearby to join the cavalry. In addition, each surviving soldier of the three teams will be rewarded with ten silver coins, and the captain of the third squad will be rewarded with one gold coin as a reward for their bravery in killing the enemy. I hope that all the soldiers present here can get this honor and reward. In addition to rewarding the brave warriors, we will also avenge our fellow countrymen. This time we will not stay in the territory of the empire, but will fight to the territory of the orcs and to the hometown of the gnolls, and make them pay for what they have done. Okay, for the people, for our fellow countrymen, and for the civilians in all the territories, I declare that all the soldiers will pack their equipment immediately and set out early tomorrow morning to head towards the gnoll territory. We are going to kill all these hateful gnolls and avenge our fellow countrymen!" Richard made the final decision, and the brief award ceremony ended. A bigger war awaited the soldiers of the empire.

Outside the original camp of the Minotaur tribe, a large number of tents surrounded the entire camp. In the distance, a group of cavalrymen were running towards the camp at high speed. The leader of the cavalrymen was the Gnoll leader. Then came a group of Gnoll cavalrymen, each riding a lizard-like mount, with four short and strong legs, which were as flat as the ground on the snow. They looked very similar to six-legged electric lizards, but they only had four legs, and there were no strange horns on their heads. The sharp teeth were like dense saw teeth embedded in their mouths, and they did not look like good people. Soon, nearly a thousand cavalrymen arrived at the largest tent in the middle of the Minotaur camp.

"Call all the squadron leaders here. I need to make a plan." After the chief arrived at the tent, he gave the order without taking a rest.

The messenger who received the order quickly passed it on, and the four captains who arrived nearby quickly rushed into the tent.

"Greetings, Chief." Well, the captain saluted respectfully in front of the chief.

"Several teams of our gnolls have arrived. Let me tell you about our plan. We will first attack the tribe of the pig-headed people, and then turn our guns into the Holy Light Territory of the Longwei Empire to rob the people and their property, women and various foods, in order to avenge the Holy Light Lord's attack on our gnoll team. This guy really doesn't know what's good for him. We gnolls just robbed him of some people, but he dared to attack our team. It seems that he hasn't launched a large-scale robbery for a long time, making these humans think that we orcs are easy to bully. The purpose of the action is this. What I want to say is that this time don't use your hands. "Show mercy, including killing that annoying pig-headed man. Let all the orcs in the central area of ​​the Whitehead Mountains know how terrible we gnolls are. Let no race dare to easily touch the power of us gnolls. All gnolls, get ready and set off immediately." Four squadron leaders led 2000 gnoll warriors. These 2000 gnoll warriors were basically the main force of all gnolls. In addition, there was a nearly 1000 dog-headed servant army following behind. It was not so fast for such a large team to set off. They had to prepare some food, weapons and some consumables. All the gnoll warriors, including the dog-headed man, felt that they had a sure win this time. Not only was the leader a third-level warrior, but such a large team was simply an unstoppable force in front of the small tribe. So no one believed that the pig-headed man could resist. Everyone was imagining how many treasures and various novelties they could rob when they rushed into the Holy Light Ridge. Compared with the orcs, the human world has more novelties, so what? No matter how many toys there are, if they are not protected by the power, they will become the spoils of the orcs. At noon, the entire gnoll army was ready to go. At the order of the commander-in-chief, 3000 orcs set off in a long line. The dog-headed man had already scouted the station of the Tianye tribe.

"The latest news, Lord Priest, the latest news." Tian Ye was flipping through the elementary magic encyclopedia when Rig's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Come in and talk." Hearing Rui Ge's tone, Tian Ye knew that it might be the werewolf team that had arrived.

"Reporting to the priest, the people I sent out brought back the latest news, that is, the chief of the gnolls personally led an army of nearly 3000 people to our tribe." Rig, with anxious eyes, looked at the calm eyes of the priest, and seemed to have gained confidence in his heart, and slowly softened his tone.

"3000 people. The leader of the Chailan people really thinks highly of us. He actually sent so many troops. The Jackals really have some hidden cards. They sent such a large tribal army."

"Your Excellency blames me for not telling the whole story. Among them, 2000 are gnolls, and another 1000 are ogre servants," Rig immediately added.

"Oh, so that's how it is, but it seems that our chances of winning are slim." Currently, Tian Ye's men only have a few hundred orc troops. In the past few days, Levin has also formed a 500-man human patrol team. Although it is called a patrol team, Tian Ye actually built it according to the regular army. However, since it has just been recruited, it has no combat effectiveness.

"Sir, there is still a glimmer of hope. In addition to this news, I also received another piece of news. That is, a human team was found near the direction of the orcs in the Baitou River. There are also 2000 people heading towards us." Rig also told the other news.

"Humans, what are they doing here? How dare they cross the Baitou River? This is a violation of the bottom line of the Orc Empire!"

"I've also learned about this. I also got some information by bribing some dog-headed men. That is, the gnolls have been entering the Holy Light Territory in small groups over the past year and have plundered a large number of people in the Holy Light Territory, including the group we took back from the gnolls. So this move may have completely angered the Lord of Holy Light City. I think this team must be coming for the gnolls."

"Haha, I didn't expect that the Jackal would really be defeated this time. So, we still have a chance. If we can contact humans and attack from both sides, the Jackal is not invincible. But we can't think too much about this matter. The Jackal will definitely target me first, and humans may just watch the fun and reap the benefits. There is no other way now. Let's prepare for the battle. Go down and tell all the combat units to prepare for the battle, including the newly formed human servant army. Let them make more arrows and crossbows, so that we can hit the Jackal effectively on the city wall. If he wants to kill us all, he has to bite us off. "We just want a few pieces of meat. We can't let him succeed easily. As children of the great Beast God, we must annihilate all invading enemies under the towering city walls." When talking about the son of the Beast God, Tian Ye stood up with high morale and shouted loudly in the tent. Even the orcs outside the tent heard the passionate voice. The originally timid ogre Rig seemed a little excited. It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid, but seeing the eyes of the priest full of confidence, he seemed to have found his direction. The man in front of him was the guiding light of their tribe. Wherever the light points, they have never failed. Maybe this time, he can still continue his godly record.

At noon the next day, the sound of the warning horn came from the huge wall to the south of the sheep-headed tribe that had just been built and had not been cleaned up. Hearing the horn, Tian Ye jumped off the bed and rushed out of the tent, calling all the bear warriors to rush to the distant wall. After walking about 500 meters, they rushed to the top of the wall. Iron Hammer Rigsam, Niu Da Niu Er Tiedan also appeared on the wall, and Levin led the newly formed 3000 human soldiers to run hurriedly behind. Tian Ye raised his head and looked at the -man team in the distance. There was no formation, but no one could underestimate the combat power of the jackals. The vanguard had just arrived, and the follow-up was still gathering continuously. After an hour, all the troops arrived at the scene and slowly formed a large square. They did not attack at the first time, but stood still. They might be replenishing energy. The long trek was still a consumption of the physical strength of the jackals. Relatively speaking, orcs had more endurance than humans.

"This group of damn guys finally arrived. There are quite a lot of them. But this huge wall seems to be an insurmountable gap. Do they think they can fight up with only 3000 people?" Tian Ye praised himself for his foresight. The huge wall he built was only seen in the main castle of humans. At a height of nearly 20 meters, even ordinary low-level or even third-level warriors could not easily climb over it. The wall was also Tian Ye's biggest confidence. The wall was densely covered with watchtowers. Various wooden watchtowers were filled on the wall. Arrows were scattered in an orderly manner. The wall was straight, and there was only one gate in the center of the wall. Both ends of the wall extended into the mountain. It was difficult to climb the steep mountain wall. If someone climbed up the ridge and wanted to cross the wall, then after reaching the ridge, no matter it was the biting cold wind or the two-meter-deep snow, it was simply unimaginable, not to mention that at the bottom of the ridge, it became extremely steep due to quarrying.

"I think this group of gnolls may really be in trouble this time. Who could have imagined that our tribe has such a magnificent city wall?" When the city wall was not completed, the workers might not have any direct feeling, but when this nearly 20-meter-high wall stood there, everyone looking down at the ground was impressed by this great project and admired the foresight of the high priest.

"My lord, I think the leader of the gnolls is also scratching his head, thinking about strategy." Rigna, a talkative guy, certainly couldn't remain silent.
