From the West, Giant Dragon is coming.
Sand City The defenders initially saw only a group of scattered gray dots, but after a while, those gray dots quickly gathered into black clouds that flooded the wasteland, overwhelmingly pressing in from the west.
Accompanied by the dull drum beat, tens of thousands of Wildland Warriors crushed the rock shells and rose and fell across the sandy swamp.
During the two-month mobilization, Ashmark Lineage has completed mobilization throughout the territory, and the main force was divided into two parts after multiple army reorganizations.
One is the Zane Legion composed of Adult Dragons, which governs the three clans of Black Lake, Streamlands and Steelspine Plains.
The other part is Ferrum Legion, which is composed of Juvenile Dragon. The soldiers come from Gray Mountain, Red Fort platform and Red Tide Shoal.
Although the top combat power of the Zane legion is obviously stronger than that of the Ferrum Legion, Ferrum Legion also has twenty strong Juvenile Dragon, plus the guards of the lords, it can mobilize more space, and its power cannot be underestimated.
Both legions have a strength of about 30,000, totaling 60,000. In addition, there is a newly recruited reserve team of 10,000 people, and a similar number of laborers responsible for supplies.
This is all the power that Ashmark Lineage can unleash after Dragon Blood War. It can be called a desperate move.
If this war succeeds, the family will grow faster through the proceeds from plunder, but if it fails, there may be no chance of recovery in the future.
"We will destroy Sand City's defense within one day. After breaking through Sand City, Young Dragon Diluns will lead the reserve force to carry out the subsequent clearing and occupation."
Zane concluded in War Council: "The main force of the family will never stop. After attacking the city, they will abandon redundant supplies and advance at full speed from the north and south directions."
"The sentry towers and inns along the way are facilities that must be destroyed. The villages and settlements can be plundered and self-supported. All fortresses and military camps should be avoided as much as possible. These strategic locations are marked on the terrain map in your hand."
"The two armies will use a pincer-shaped offensive to penetrate into the enemy's heartland. Deepstone City in the north and Agate City in the south are our first-stage targets."
"If completed, one-third of the land of Tagoma will fall under the wings of Giant Dragon."
"At this time we can go back, digest and rest, and redeploy the strategy for the second phase according to the enemy's reaction."
One day.
Destroy Sand City in one day!
The plan was repeatedly confirmed after War Council. The family's attack will be launched in the afternoon. Wilderness Races, who has dark vision, is fully capable of night operations.
When the sun reaches midheaven on the second day, the two main Vanguard Army must set off and leave.
"Quick! Quick! Get into the predetermined position immediately, the attack is about to begin!"
Countless Wyvern Cavalry were rising and falling in the legion, waving their long whips and shouting, "Keep the formation! Keep the formation!"
Before launching the attack, Ferrum had obtained comprehensive intelligence. In fact, what Giant Dragon was really worried about was not Short-lived Species itself, but the human Gods who gained faith through them.
Tagoma Kingdom believes in War Gods, which are the seven gods headed by Gallagath. However, most of their Apostle are not in Westerlands now, but are located in the east and Royal Domain Holy Temple.
At this moment, there is only one Apostle among Sand City, and his god is Dor Rahn, God of Mockery and Guardianship.
Great Dragons will kill this target.
"The troops have entered the predetermined position, the encirclement is completed, and they are preparing to attack. Zane is calling us."
Afterglow came to Ferrum and spoke quickly and clearly.
"Follow the plan."
Ferrum looked around, checked the troops again, and then took off with wings.
Following Legendary Dragon's call, Juvenile Dragons who had already led their troops to various locations took off one after another.
When they were in the wilderness, they would play and talk about wild fantasies and gossip, but after entering the war, every dragon became cold-blooded. Even Moqi put on a hard mask at this time, and it was like the light of a leaping sword when it flew through the air.
The yellow sand filled the air, and the sentries at various frontline positions did not dare to withstand such an attack. The retreating soldiers had already retreated one after another Sand City.
"To think that a large army would be dispatched in such weather."
Olysia climbed onto the city wall again and stared at the advancing wilderness army.
The enemy came sweeping in the dust waves, and their battle flags as red as blood swirled in the dust waves. Those Wildland Warriorss carried heavy broad-bladed iron axes on their backs. Although they wore simple breastplates and iron helmets, they didn't even have a pair of shoes on their feet. Many Bearfolks and Gnolls simply ran on all fours on the ground.
Their image is somewhere between a beast and a butcher. The roar of the dragon inspires their bloody nature, so that each of them looks ferocious, as if they don't care about life or death.
"This battle will be difficult."
Even though some of the immortal species' blood flows in the body, Olysia has to admit that compared with these Wildland Warriors, the human body is still too weak.
The dragon army advanced rapidly. Under the leadership of Wyvern, a large number of soldiers stretched out from both wings and surrounded Sand City, completely surrounding the border city.
"General."
Sand City Viscount stood next to her, looking uneasy. "In this situation... should we send an envoy to ask to talk to the other party?"
According to the current Etiquette in the civilized world, when the two lords meet, they should send envoys to each other to talk and express their positions and requirements. If communication fails, they will officially start a war. But now Giant Dragon does not seem to give them such an opportunity.
"Don't have any illusions, this is a racial war, and the other side is here to kill."
Olysia held the hilt of the sword. "Sand City How many soldiers can be mobilized now?"
Sand City Viscount shook his head blankly.
"Including the new recruits who are being trained, the current total is 20,000."
The garrison commander on one side said quickly.
Olysia glanced at him. "How many people are there actually?"
The commander hesitated for a moment, but now was obviously not the time to make false reports and conceal things, so he could only honestly say, "About... about 12,000 people,"
"Twelve thousand people."
Olysia has no intention of investigating the garrison issue for Warden of the Western Marches, he is just thinking for himself.
Giant Dragon Lineage I won't be able to tell for a while how many soldiers were sent to fight this time, but based on what I saw and estimated, I also know that it is far more than this number. Even if there are layers of city walls to rely on for defense, I'm afraid they won't be able to sustain it for too long.
Fortunately for Olysia, she had already sent out the news of the enemy's attack in advance. At that time, she had not seen the cloud-like army, but just by seeing those dragons with different scales, she knew that the situation was not trivial.
Now that the enemy has completed the encirclement, and the wilderness spellcasters have used spell interference, it is already difficult to communicate with the hinterland of the kingdom.
"We will get reinforcements soon."
Olysia turned around and loudly encouraged the shocked soldiers. "The news has been sent. If Sand City falls, all the land of Westerlands will be ravaged, so Warden of the Western Marches will never sit back and relax, and will definitely summon the nobles from all over the world to help as soon as possible. The kingdom and Holy Temple should also immediately assess the situation and take action."
"The enemy has obviously planned this attack for a long time. Next Sand City will be bombarded by magic. Everyone immediately enters the fortress to take shelter. When the enemy officially attacks the city, we will do our best to kick them off the city wall."
"Ten days, we only need to hold on for ten days."
"In ten days at the latest, the first batch of reinforcements will arrive at the border. By then, you will all become warriors fighting against Giant Dragon. This resume will be forever engraved in your family history. All soldiers can become Lords. No matter Warden of the Western Marches or Royal Family, they will never be stingy with rewards."
"General."
Before Olysia finished the pre-war encouragement, he heard the horrified voice of Viscount Sand City: "They... what are they going to do?"
