Beneath Dreadmaul Rock, Marshal Windsor led fifty thousand troops from the Third Legion and Redridge Mountains defense forces in besieging the Firegut Ogres of Dreadmaul Rock.

Although the Firegut Ogres at Dreadmaul Rock numbered only a little over ten thousand, they relied on the terrain, their Firegut Ogre mages, and their ability to breathe fire. For a time, even Marshal Windsor could not take Dreadmaul Rock.

In truth, Marshal Windsor was in no hurry to launch a fierce assault on Dreadmaul Rock. He knew that with the ogres' appetites, they could not hold out for long in a place without any water source or food supplies. The Firegut Ogres would collapse without a fight.

At the same time, Marshal Windsor knew that the Blackrock Clan was short on troops in the Burning Steppes. Another purpose of besieging Dreadmaul Rock was to besiege one point and draw in reinforcements, luring the remaining main force of the Blackrock Clan in the Burning Steppes to come to him.

"Report, Marshal Windsor! Around ten thousand demons are charging toward us." The human scout relayed the news from the front to Marshal Windsor.

Demons were individually powerful. Hearing that ten thousand demons were attacking, Marshal Windsor was not worried at all. Instead, he was overjoyed. "Excellent. If they are using demons as cannon fodder, that means the Blackrock Clan is severely short on troops. Otherwise, they would not do this. The Trifarix Legion must not have made it back in time, or only part of it did."

Marshal Windsor swiftly analyzed the Blackrock Clan's troop situation in the Burning Steppes from the intelligence. If it had been ten thousand elite Blackrock Clan troops, Marshal Windsor would have had reservations, because that would have meant the Blackrock Clan still had other forces.
