Chapter 331 Prelude
As the intensity of the war between the United Army and the Green Tide continues to escalate, the War Council can no longer just sit there and watch.
Since Kan'ozu mobilized a large number of greenskin tribes, even after filling the battle line, he still had a large number of greenskin orcs on hand to mobilize.
Therefore, with the idea that since he was already here, Kan'ozu threw the green-skinned orcs in his hands to invade and attack the War Committee.
Fortunately, the War Committee had been well prepared and had built a series of defense lines in front of the northern wall. Relying on a large number of soldiers and simple defensive measures, they were able to resist the invasion and attack of the green tide and did not expose the situation of the northern wall.
The elite legion soldiers relied on the established defense line to easily intercept the oncoming greenskin army.
At the same time, in order to prevent Kan'ozu from discovering something was wrong, the War Council began to consciously transfer the sealed greenskin vitality, one by one, to the outside of the northern wall some time ago.
The greenskin tribes disguised as inside the Northern Wall are being wiped out one by one by the War Council. The reason why the War Council has troops appearing near the Northern Wall is to intercept the support of the greenskin orcs and kill all the greenskin orcs in the Northern Wall.
Kan'ozu seemed to have really believed the War Council's disguise and acting, as his total vitality had not decreased. He didn't care at all about the green-skinned orcs who might be wiped out within the northern wall, and was too lazy to save them.
As for not being able to push the War Council's front line, or even being pushed back, he didn't really care.
Whether it was the United Forces or the War Council pushing back on the front, Kan'ozu didn't care at all.
It doesn't matter whether the Green Tide controls a lot of land or not. Kanaozu doesn't care about the land. The only thing he cares about is himself.
All he needed to fill the gaps in his legendary status was a large amount of vitality.
The amount of land and the outcome of the war are issues that only the green-skinned orcs would think about. What do they have to do with Kan'ozu?
The green tide is just a tool for him to plunder vitality. As long as the total amount of the green tide's vitality is increasing, it is good.
Otherwise, as long as Kan'ozu goes all out and kills Eleanor, the entire Donnar will collapse instantly and fall under the control of the Green Tide.
But this means nothing to Kanaozu.
Once Eleanor dies, the coalition forces will fall apart, and everyone will run away. Who will replenish his missing vitality?
In fact, Kan'aozu regretted defeating the Donnar coalition.
He defeated the Donar coalition, causing the collapse of the entire Donar. A large number of civilians died on the way to escape famine. He didn't suck any vitality out of them. What a loss.
If Kanaozu had not discovered the problem in time and planned to support a Donar to unite the remaining Donars.
Eleanor didn't even have the chance to be promoted to a legend with the sacrifice of a high-level knight. Kan'ozu could have killed Eleanor, who was trying to sacrifice and was still being promoted, with a slap.
Not to mention retreating voluntarily.
However, his plan was successful. Eleanor successfully stabilized the fleeing people of Donnar and prevented them from continuing to flee to Sinnar.
She successfully united the remaining Donnar people and even took the initiative to send people to deliver vitality continuously.
Although later, when Kan'ozu met Eleanor, he did not grasp Eleanor's situation and almost beat her to death, resulting in Eleanor not actively giving away her vitality for several years. Only the resistance forces in the north would give away a little every year.
Although the amount was much less, he still managed to hold it in.
And now, it was finally time for him to reap the rewards. Eleanor had almost brought the vitality of the entire coalition army to his mouth, and there was also a large amount of vitality from Sinar.
On the long front line, the more intense the battle, the more people died, and the more vitality was plundered by the green-skinned orcs. As he watched the total life force of the green tide continue to rise, Kan Ozu became happier and more excited.
However, although he was very happy and excited, considering that he almost beat Eleanor to death before, he was still very cautious to maintain an equal strength with Eleanor.
And because the total amount of vitality is increasing, even though the War Council has less, it is still there.
Therefore, Kan'ozu just mindlessly let the greenskin tribe attack the war council. He didn't care much about it. As long as his vitality increased, it would be fine.
Moreover, Kan'ozu was an orc after all, and as a legend, he did not go out of his way to inquire about the situation of the remnant forces of Donnar, because he did not quite understand the difference between the United Army and the War Council.
In his opinion, the War Council and the United Army are similar, they are just tool forces used to increase vitality.
As long as they can explode their vitality, Kanaozu doesn't care what they are doing inside.
As the War Council was dragged into the issue, the Allied Forces softened their attitude towards the War Council a little.
However, when the Allied Forces discussed with the War Council about launching a sneak attack on the Green Tide from the direction of the War Council, the War Council flatly rejected their suggestion.
Even though the coalition forces expressed their willingness to exchange Sinar's aid for military access, the War Council ruthlessly rejected it.
As a result, the relationship that had just eased a little deteriorated again. Eleanor even wanted to change direction and kill the war committee, which she thought had no spirit of unity and only knew how to drag its feet.
However, under the threat of Kanaozu, she had no choice but to grit her teeth, endure it, and in her heart, she made another note of the War Council.
Eleanor and Kan'ozu fought many times, but the winner was never determined. Although the troops on the ground were also fighting, their losses were also extremely heavy.
Every inch of recovered land was gained with the lives and blood of countless soldiers.
Although both the Allied Forces and the War Council were advancing continuously, everyone could see that the situation in Donnar had gradually become stalemate and had fallen into a war of attrition with no end in sight.
In this war of attrition with no end in sight, the Allied Forces are the most vulnerable side with the least ability to sustain.
He was able to maintain the consumption of the front line by relying on the continuous exploitation of the coalition forces, as well as the transfusion of assistance from the War Council and the Sinnar countries.
If any of these three factors goes wrong, the coalition forces may collapse.
Compared to the United Army, the War Council and the Green Tide don't have so many problems.
The War Committee has established a complete military system. The widespread use of the Fountain of Life has ensured that every loss of military personnel can be quickly replenished. Even for extraordinary people, as long as they are low-level extraordinary people, replenishment only takes one or two months.
As for the Green Tide, as long as the vitality does not decrease, every time a green-skinned orc dies on the front line, a new green-skinned orc will be born in the rear. Moreover, the vitality plundered from the enemy will also give birth to new green-skinned orcs in the rear.
Therefore, the number of ordinary green-skinned orcs will only increase as the fight goes on, while the green-skinned extraordinary ones are dead and cannot be replenished quickly.
But the Green Tide controls two-thirds of the land in Donnar. There are simply too many green-skinned orcs living on these lands. The accumulated green-skinned orc superhumans are enough to fill the gaps on these battlefields before new green-skinned superhumans are born.
Although the connection with the Scarlet Furnace was cut, resulting in a decline in the Green Tide's weapons and equipment, the green-skinned orcs did not win by quality but by quantity.
The fact that there are fewer weapons and equipment is just a little less, and the impact is not that big.
In short, compared to the United Army, the War Council and the Green Tide both have the ability to keep on fighting with consumption, but the United Army does not.
If the stalemate continues, even with Eleanor's presence, the coalition forces will sooner or later completely collapse because everything is burned out.
Although the War Council was not afraid of attrition at all, Eleanor didn't know that.
Therefore, in her opinion, although both the War Council and the United Army have been advancing, who knows when the War Council will collapse.
You know, the coalition forces are under so much pressure even with the support of the Sinnar countries, not to mention the War Council.
Therefore, although the coalition forces could still hold out for a while, Eleanor had already begun to worry about the possibility that the War Council would be overwhelmed by the green tide.
If the War Council were to collapse, then the battle line between the United Army and the Green Tide would likely be longer, and the pressure on the United Army would be greater.
So, Eleanor, thinking that the stalemate could not continue any longer, began to look for a way out.
She gradually reduced the frequency of going off the field and was no longer keen on going off the field to relieve the pressure on the front line.
Unless Kan Ozu leaves the field, she will never leave the field unless it is necessary.
Kanaozu was also happy to see the change in Eleanor. He even thought acting was too tiring.
Of course, Kanaozu also knew that Eleanor might be preparing some conspiracy, but Kanaozu didn't care.
Even the Donnar coalition couldn't do anything to him, let alone Eleanor.
Any conspiracy is useless in the face of absolute strength.
Although the two legends have calmed down, the soldiers on the front lines cannot calm down and continue to struggle and fight on the front lines.
There is a constant fight over meaningless land.
However, while the battle between the United Army and the Green Tide was fierce and the entire United Army was filled with the atmosphere of war, the War Council remained peaceful and harmonious.
Although the War Council currently controls territory from the east to the border of Sinnar to the northern wall, the majority of the population of the War Council is actually concentrated in the west, mainly in the territory that was once the rebels. In the east to the northern wall, the newly conquered land of the War Council only has staff serving the war preparation plan and the army, and there are no permanent civilians.
However, although there were no civilians, no villages, and no cities, a stone road was built from the west to the east, densely covering all the territories controlled in the east, greatly facilitating the movement of personnel and troops.
Due to the separation of the east and west sides, although a fight has broken out with the Green Tide outside the northern wall, the eastern territory of the War Council is still peaceful.
Even though the war council had already begun laying the groundwork, with reports of battle coming in from the front from time to time, beginning to build up an atmosphere, overall, the civilians in the war council were peaceful and had not yet realized that a war was underway that could decide the outcome of Donnar.
Of course, this is limited to civilians. All members of the War Committee, middle and senior level members, executors of the combat readiness plan, and the entire army have already smelled the scent of war.
Most of the members here have already prepared for a full-scale war, and the army has already entered a state of war.
According to the final expansion, the War Council currently has a standing force of 750,000 men, including 34 regular legions and 9 primarch legions.
Among them, the regular legion has a strength of about 20,000 people, while the Primarch legion currently has a strength of about 8,000 people.
At present, according to the rotation, 750,000 soldiers have been rotated several times and have fought with the green tide on the front line.
December 1451, 9.
In Tianqi City, Roland met Siqi in the study.
As the leader of the younger generation, Siqi has outstanding talents in magic and magical devices.
Since the Dwarf Autonomous Region had few resources to offer him, he could only rely on his own talent and hard work to accumulate resources on his own.
Siqi often goes out and works for various human countries. Apart from spending the money on himself, he also often subsidizes the autonomous region. The younger generation of the autonomous region has basically developed thanks to his assistance.
While working to earn money and subsidizing the autonomous region, and only able to work hard occasionally in his spare time, Si Qidu managed to become a second-ring prophecy spellcaster and a fourth-ring artificer.
It is precisely because of all this that Siqi can basically be said to be the representative figure of the Dominion. Both the old and young generations believe in him.
Otherwise, the representative who led the entire Dwarf Autonomous Region to join the War Council was not Siqi.
It's impossible to let Siqi be the representative just because he has met Roland once.
After joining Roland, Siqi was completely freed from the constraints of insufficient resources and time, and his strength improved by leaps and bounds.
In terms of prophecy, relying on the rich spell knowledge provided by Roland, Siqi finally got rid of the embarrassing situation of having less than ten prophecy spells.
The prophecy spells he now possesses are not only numerous but also comprehensive. Regardless of whether they are ones that Siqi has heard of or not, Roland basically has them all.
Moreover, in addition to enriching his own spell system, with the resources and various alchemical potions provided by Roland, Siqi was successfully promoted to a third-ring prophecy spellcaster. Moreover, after Roland took the time to help him sort out the remaining problems in his body from his previous incomplete promotion, Siqi was only one step away from becoming a fourth-ring prophecy spellcaster.
Although it is difficult to take this step, with the ideas provided by Roland, Siqi will take this step sooner or later in ten years at most.
As for strange machines, the rich theories and knowledge about strange machines provided by Roland also greatly increased Siqi's knowledge in strange machines and helped him to be promoted to a five-ring strange machine master.
At the same time, with the materials provided by the War Committee, Si Qi also created a complete set of magical equipment suitable for himself, allowing him to truly possess the combat power of a five-ring magical equipment master.
Moreover, except for Siqi, other dwarf artificers have basically created corresponding artificer equipment according to their own levels, and can exert the corresponding artificer combat power.
In the past, due to insufficient resources, the combat effectiveness of the dwarf artificer was always one level lower than its rank.
And now, with sufficient resources, the combat effectiveness of the dwarf artificer is not bad.
Although there was no big movement, the dwarf machinists were still a strong military force in Roland's hands, a hidden trump card.
"Bang bang."
Hearing the knock on the door, Roland put down the government affairs in his hands and spoke.
"come in."
Hearing Roland's words, Siqi opened the door and walked into the study.
In his right hand he held an old, worn metal box with carvings of gnome art.
Looking at the metal box in Siqi's hand, Roland raised his eyebrows slightly.
Although it looked ordinary, Roland saw an extremely strong power of destiny from it.
Siqi saluted Roland, then placed the metal box on the table.
Roland glanced at the metal box, then looked up at Siqi and said.
"This is?"
Siqi opened the metal box and took out a golden dice from the box.
As the golden dice was exposed, Roland also saw the enormous power of destiny contained in it.
A dwarf autonomous region has such good things?
Looking at the metal dice in front of him, Roland was surprised.
If such a strong and powerful force of destiny were used as material for prophecy spells, it could do a lot of things.
"Chairman, this is the power of destiny that our autonomous region has been storing until now. Please accept it."
Siqi took a last reluctant look at the golden dice that had been passed down from the establishment of the autonomous region to the present day, pushed it towards Roland, and spoke.
Roland glanced at the golden dice in front of him, then looked up at Siqi, shook his head slightly, and said.
"This is your heritage, keep it for yourself, it will be useful to you in the future."
As he spoke, Roland pushed the box back again.
Si Qi raised his head and looked at Roland. Seeing his eyes that were free of greed and full of the breath of death, as well as the constraints and oaths wrapped around Roland's body, he spoke solemnly.
"Chairman, this is a joint decision made by all of us dwarves. If it will be useful to you in your future battles, please accept it."
Facing Siqi's gaze, Roland hesitated.
After a moment of silence, Roland opened his mouth and spoke.
"Aren't you afraid that I will fail? If I fail, your investment will be gone."
"Take it back."
Siqi shook his head and said.
"Chairman, you have already prepared a way out for us in case of failure, and you have also pointed out the future of the dwarfs for us."
"We all really hope that you will win."
"Please accept it. We will fight with you until the last moment."
Looking at Siqi's serious gaze, Roland closed his eyes and said.
"I understand. Then I'll take it."
Si Qi bowed and quietly left the study.
After Siqi left, Roland opened his eyes again and looked at the golden dice on the table.
"Ugh"
