Chapter 105: The New Hero, the Astrologer
The ring of sand dunes.
This is a sandy area of the Blood Plains.
It is also the frontline military camp where the Orc vanguard is stationed.
"The Dark Orcs' legion has been annihilated."
"The scout legions of the faithless have been discovered here and in this direction."
"Without alerting them, we followed them and discovered their city."
"in addition."
"When our legion went out to scout."
"An orc swordsman skilled in stealth approached to scout."
"I killed him."
Simon bowed and reported the intelligence he had gathered to the orc duke.
The two guards quickly marked the location on the map.
"What type of unit is responsible for reconnaissance?"
"The Duke asked."
"First, wolf riders."
"The other one is a griffin."
Wolf riders?
This is an orc unit.
"It's our dire wolf."
"It has been tamed."
"The hippogriff is a unit of the Elven race."
"These alien races, just like before, are able to train legions of different races."
"And it can summon heroic spirits to fight."
Duke Ironbone once experienced a divine war.
In the midst of war.
Those alien lords could summon millions of troops to fight with a wave of their hand.
If it weren't for divine intervention...
A lord who has reached the pinnacle of development.
He could easily wipe out an entire orc kingdom all by himself.
However, they faced the powerful Prayer Legion and Angel Legion within the Divine Realm.
These lords' legions were easily defeated.
Even so.
We must not allow these faithless lords from other races to rise to power.
This would disrupt the gods' plans.
Especially this battle of the gods.
Rumors have it that a Creation Crystal has appeared!
Just one is enough to advance from a weak divine power to a powerful divine power.
If we could seize all the Creation Crystals.
There is even a chance to glimpse the supreme and unparalleled position of the creator god.
Powerful gods are all preparing to vie for this divine crystal.
This battle of gods will be extremely brutal.
Weaker gods, even if they don't want to join.
They may also be forced to participate in the war by powerful gods, becoming expendable resources in the divine war.
In order to ensure that he could survive the war of gods.
The gods are now frantically accumulating power.
These foreign lords are an unstable factor.
We must absolutely not allow them to rise to power.
It must be suppressed.
Such top-secret information was only known to high-ranking nobles.
After hearing more accurate information.
He rubbed his fingers together for a moment.
What are your thoughts?
He looked at his trusted confidant.
His gaze swept over the crowd before settling on Simon.
"You go first."
Simon was the only one with whom he had direct contact.
After receiving the instruction, he pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"I sent people to check on the surrounding dark orc tribes."
Clear everything.
"We've found the natives of the Crimson Plains again to ask them questions."
"They say there are over ten thousand dark orc tribes here."
"And there is a powerful golden orc leader."
"This level of strength is something even my vanguard could not match."
"It's unlikely that they'll gain much advantage; they might even have to temporarily avoid the limelight."
"But, sir, they are all dead!"
Simon's tone was filled with shock and solemnity.
"They were all killed in battle!"
"Including that golden-race orc leader."
"I have to be careful when I encounter his strength."
"But he's dead."
"He died in the territory of this alien lord."
"Therefore, Your Excellency, his strength is probably far beyond our imagination."
Therefore, my advice is not to launch a hasty and reckless attack.
"Mobilize a large force, build fortifications, and prepare for a protracted war of attrition."
"Ideally, we should have ten times the enemy's strength, and then deploy the priest legion to launch a series of attacks in rotation."
"Tear this alien lord to death."
Simon truly deserves to be called one of the most outstanding descendants of the Ironbone family.
He has his own unique insights into war.
This plan would work perfectly well for other races.
But this doesn't apply to foreign lords.
"We are at a disadvantage in a war of attrition."
Duke Ironbone spoke.
Having experienced the War of the Gods, he knew what the advantages of being a lord were.
They can mobilize tens of thousands of troops in a short period of time.
After one batch is dealt with, another batch immediately follows.
Even the undead scourge couldn't outlast them.
He had witnessed firsthand how the undead empire was utterly crushed by a lord's legion.
Compared to the lord's vast army, those endless undead were nothing.
It's the difference between a dwarf and a giant.
"No, no, no."
Duke Ironbone shook his head.
"When fighting a lord, remember there is only one way to win."
"After the lord is killed, his legion is of no use."
"If you fight a war of attrition with him."
"The consequences would be disastrous."
"After the legions of the Crimson Plains are wiped out, the enemy can immediately pull out tens of thousands of elite troops to continue fighting."
Then the Ironbone Duke recounted his experiences in the War of the Gods.
When these younger generations heard that the undead had been wiped out by the lord's massive army, they were shocked.
Everyone stared wide-eyed.
"them!"
"More terrifying than a natural disaster!!!"
Duke Ironbone nodded.
That's just how it is.
"The gods called it the Fourth Calamity."
Fortunately, this natural disaster has a fatal weakness.
"When the lord dies, the calamity ends."
"Therefore, deal with them."
"The method is simple: find the lord's location and gather all the golden-type monsters to behead him."
"Simon."
"Revise the plan accordingly."
Simon opened the map and pondered for a moment.
Several markers were quickly placed on the map.
"Lure the enemy deep into our territory, surround them without attacking, and draw out their reinforcements!"
"In this place, we should adopt a strategic posture for a decisive battle."
Simon pointed to an area not far from the Alliance's city walls.
It's not far from the city wall, but it's not exactly close either.
According to Simon's calculations.
This should be at the point of psychological distance in the other person's mind.
Here, the other side is more likely to send troops.
"Next, we'll set up observers here."
Simon pointed to a high point.
"From here, we can observe the battlefield and the enemy's city walls."
"At this crucial moment, I bet the lord will personally come to the battlefield."
"As long as he shows up then."
Simon slashed out with his palm.
"Gather five Gold-type and ten Silver-type warriors to launch a surprise attack on the city walls aboard two-legged dragons."
"Decapitation complete!"
The moment this plan was mentioned, it immediately caught the eye of the Ironbone Duke.
"it is good."
The decision was made on the spot.
"Simon."
"Truly worthy of being a genius of my family."
"If this plan succeeds."
"I will then send you to the capital to receive baptism at the altar."
"To give you control of the Behemoth bloodline."
Those who possess Behemoth blood will become the next patriarch of the clan.
Simon was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Duke."
Get up.
"You will be in command of this battle."
"You are in charge of mobilizing the family's resources."
"We must behead the alien lord as quickly as possible."
"Soon will be the day of sacrifice for the last rays of my Sunset Empire."
"The will of the Beast God will be directed towards the imperial capital."
"If only we could present this gift at this time."
"My Iron Bone family will be favored by the gods."
"You should know what this means for the family."
Simon felt a chill run down his spine.
"Yes, I will kill the enemy as quickly as possible."
.......
at the same time.
On Lin Chuan's territory.
"bite."
"You used the Golden Seed Summoning Scroll."
"Summon the new hero unit, Astrologer Sirin."
