Chapter 755: A Great Uproar

~7 min read 1,283 words

Mad Lion Fortress has fallen; this news reached the ears of the various high-ranking figures across the Continent in just one day.

"This, this is impossible. How could a formidable stronghold like Mad Lion Fortress fall in such a short amount of time?" The eyes of the supreme commander of the Norton Empire's Northern Army were filled with disbelief.

The general who led the army to attack Mad Lion Fortress hundreds of years ago was his ancestor. From the notes left behind by his ancestor, he already understood how well-deserved the title of Iron Wall was for Mad Lion Fortress. Yet now, this fortress had completely fallen after resisting the Elf Kingdom for less than a day. The intelligence officer who delivered this information to him was simply joking.

But when he saw the subsequent content in the report, he could not help but fall into silence. In this battle to capture Mad Lion Fortress, the Elf Kingdom once again displayed its powerful strength as an ancient race before everyone on the Continent.

An ultra-long-distance, ultra-large-scale group Teleportation Magic Array—this was something the Mages' Guild had always been exploring. Even now, the Mages' Guild had only developed a superficial understanding, with huge limitations in both distance and the number of people. But looking at the Elf Kingdom's Teleportation Array, which transported a massive army directly from the Elf Kingdom to the front of Mad Lion Fortress all at once, it was simply jaw-dropping.

At the same time, the Elf Kingdom also dispatched a massive number of Airships. Airships had always been the weapon the Human race was most proud of; whether it was the Dwarf Race, who were skilled in forging, or the Gnomes, who were skilled in mechanics, neither seemed to have a talent for Airships—only the Human race had developed this to its peak. But this time, the Elf Kingdom made the people on the Continent realize what a true Airship was.

The largest Airship currently known to the Human race was barely close to two hundred meters in length. However, the largest Airship dispatched by the Elf Kingdom this time was a full three hundred meters long, crushing the Human Airships in size alone. Not to mention that the Elf Kingdom's Airships possessed main-city-level Magic Arrays for barriers, with defensive power that reached a point of despair.

Looking again at the personnel the Elf Kingdom sent to battle, although there were only thirty thousand, these thirty thousand were all elites of the Elf Kingdom, and the weakest among them had reached the Ninth Rank. With the experience and abilities accumulated over their long lives, the Elf Kingdom's Ninth-Rank Warriors could fight on equal footing even when facing a Sanctuary Powerhouse.

Furthermore, the leader of the Elf Kingdom's forces this time was also a renowned figure on the Continent. Andiya, the High Priest of the Elf Kingdom, was known as the most powerful woman on the Continent. Just by herself, destroying Mad Lion Fortress would be nothing more than a flick of the wrist. As Andiya's deputies, the Wind Great Elf Envoy Jienuo and the Fire Great Elf Envoy Kuchuer were the two sharpest swords of the Elf Kingdom, rarely meeting their match within the God Domain.

Finally, the Orc Empire's powerful Blood Demon Beasts were suppressed to death by the Elf Holy Spear developed by the Elf Kingdom, with no strength left to fight back. This matter had already been verified by the Three Great Empires during their engagements with the Orc Empire.

Synthesizing all this intelligence, the fact that Mad Lion Fortress was able to resist the Elf Kingdom's offensive for nearly a day was already an extraordinary feat.

After breaking through Mad Lion Fortress, the Elf Kingdom's army did not occupy it, but instead razed the entire Mad Lion Fortress to the ground. Afterward, they crossed the plains behind Mad Lion Fortress and established a fortress of their own in front of the city behind the plains.

"Your Excellency High Priest, do we not need to advance any further?" Jienuo looked at Andiya, who was sitting at the head of the military tent, and asked with some confusion.

"No need. We will guard here, and the people of the Orc Empire will come looking for us themselves," Andiya said while looking at the map in front of her.

"Why?" Kuchuer asked with some confusion.

"Do you know? The plain behind us is the plain with the largest grain production in the Orc Empire. The harvest from this plain has an extraordinary significance for the entire Orc Empire. And now, the harvest season is approaching. Do you understand?" Andiya pointed to the plain on the map and said.

"According to the High Priest, we are now choking the entrance to this plain, and if the Orc Empire cannot obtain the harvest from this plain, it will inevitably cause a huge impact on the entire Orc Empire," Jienuo said, looking at the map. "And this is a situation the Orc Empire absolutely cannot tolerate. In order to break through our blockade, the Orc Empire will inevitably take action against us here. High Priest, are you forcing Dimolin?"

"That's right. If the Elf Kingdom truly goes to full-scale war with the Orc Empire, even if we eventually win, we will inevitably have to pay a huge price. But now, our army is stuck in this place like a nail, like a sharp sword aimed at the Orc Empire's vitals. I want to see what choice Dimolin will make when faced with this situation. The time I've given him is not much!" Andiya's fingers tapped lightly on the table.

Beast God City, Beast God Altar.

"Your Excellency Great Shaman, it's bad! The Elf Kingdom's army has broken through Mad Lion Fortress. Now they have built a fortress in front of Kasaier City, and this fortress has cut off our road to the Punu Plain. If this continues, most of the Orc Empire will face the threat of hunger in the coming year!" A fox-kin priest reported to Dimolin, who stood with his hands behind his back, with a panicked expression.

"What?" Hearing this news, Dimolin turned around abruptly and looked toward the fox-kin priest, a trace of horror appearing on his face. "Impossible, the trajectory of fate is not like this!"

The reason he dared to take action against the Half-Elf Auction House in Beast God City at the beginning was because he had glimpsed a corner of the trajectory of fate. In the scene he saw, the Elf Kingdom's army suffered heavy losses under the surprise attack of the Blood Demon Beasts, and Andiya had to retreat in a panic to preserve the remaining Elf warriors. And the matter of the Half-Elf Auction House ultimately came to nothing.

But how could he have known that there was now a Lingyun among the Elf Kingdom who was not in the fate of this world? He not only exposed the Blood Demon Beasts' hidden skill, Blood Boiling, in advance, but also designed the Elf Holy Spear to counter the Blood Demon Beasts, directly shattering Dimolin's entire plan. And Dimolin, who had not anticipated this situation, was forced to the point where he had to make a choice.

"You go notify His Majesty first. This matter will not end so simply!" Dimolin waved his hand at the fox-kin priest and said.

After the fox-kin priest left, Dimolin stood with his hands behind his back, his hollow eyes looking toward the sky: "Andiya, is it? This time, let me see whether you, the High Priest of the Elf Kingdom, are a move ahead, or if I, the Great Shaman of the Orc Empire, am better!"
