Chapter 340: War in the North
As Roland mobilized the stone road network, the members of the War Council naturally sensed this huge force.

Civilians from all over the War Council looked at the shining cobblestone roads and various public works, and various emotions began to emerge.

Whether it is positive emotions such as awe and worship, or negative emotions such as fear and panic, they are all captured by the spell runes and transformed into new positive and negative energies that flow into it.

The city defense troops and militiamen who were patrolling the cobblestone road also stopped and stood beside the cobblestone road. They saluted in Roland's direction tacitly.

More and more positive and negative energies continue to pour in from the western territories.

On the northern wall of the eastern territory, soldiers and extraordinary people also stood on the city wall and in the military camp, saluting in the direction of Roland.

Outside the northern wall, on the distant horizon, a huge green tide had appeared before their eyes.

After several months of ignoring the cost and pouring in madly, the green-skinned orcs also drowned and polluted the land with endless corpses and blood.

The dead land was forcibly transformed into a strange dark green land by endless green skins.

Of course, in addition to the Dead Land, the black soil defense line built by the Northern Wall on the Dead Land also played an important role in combating the Green Tide.

Groups of elite legionnaires and extraordinary beings moved into these black earth fortresses surrounded by death zones with no way of retreat. They maintained the scale of the death zones and resisted the invasion and infection of the green tide. At the same time, they served as outposts of the northern wall and fought against the green tide when the green tide reached them.

As a defense line arranged on the black soil and cooperating with the Death Zone, the soldiers and extraordinary people stationed in the Black Soil Fortress naturally have no restrictions. As long as they can cause casualties to the green-skinned orcs, any means are allowed to be used.

On the front lines, the restrictions on necromancy have been almost completely lifted.

On the Black Earth Defense Line, all corpses, whether friendly or green-skinned orcs, must be utilized. Summon as many undead as possible. Once the undead are killed and cannot be awakened again, the corpse explosion spell will be activated directly, even the corpses of friendly ones will be blown up.

In addition, once the defense line is about to be breached by the green tide, the fortress's self-destruct function will be immediately activated, turning the entire black soil into a bomb, setting off continuous horrific explosions and filth.

While blowing up a large number of green-skinned orcs, a permanent land of the dead will be left on the earth. Although the permanent land of the dead is not as lethal as the land of death, it is more durable.

Different from the dead land which is empty and easily polluted, the dead land has extremely rich dark elements. Even if many green-skinned orcs die in the dead land, it is difficult to pollute the dead land.

Moreover, the corpses of the green-skinned orcs who died in the Land of the Dead will become the helpers of the Land of the Dead, generating a large number of orc undead to disgust the green tide.

This will undoubtedly force the green-skinned orcs to pay a higher price to pass through the land of the dead.

Thanks to the joint defense line built by the Death Land and the Black Earth Defense Line, the War Council was able to delay the Green Tide for several months. At the same time, thanks to the Black Earth Fortresses scattered around the Death Land, the War Council was also able to clearly understand the situation of the greenskin orcs.

Every soldier who died in battle would be quickly resurrected at the fountain of life beside the northern wall and bring accurate intelligence.

However, after being polluted by the green-skinned orcs, this joint defense line has become increasingly weird and disgusting, and has undoubtedly become a cesspool.

Even after defeating the green tide, this joint defense line used to fight the green tide will be destined to become a major governance problem.

As for what to do with this joint defense line that has turned into a huge scar on Donnar, that is not something the current war committee should consider.

Let’s survive first. As long as we can survive, this joint defense line can be slowly built over dozens or even hundreds of years.

And if they don't survive, it's none of the War Council's business.

Hela looked in Roland's direction. All the emotions that had just been born in her body were taken away, and her emotions were forced to calm down.

And so did the others on the northern side of the wall.

Unlike the civilians who only extract their floating emotions, the soldiers of the North Wall and the extraordinary people, as those who are aware of the war plan, are forced to extract all positive and negative emotions.

After their positive and negative emotions were extracted, the soldiers and extraordinary people on the northern wall were all forced into a state of absolute calm.

They calmly looked at the green frenzy surging from the distant ground line and the black light that suddenly exploded in it.

As the soldiers of the Fountain of Life were resurrected and continued to report the latest intelligence on the Green Tide, the people of the Northern Wall also began to move.

The orders from Tula were passed down layer by layer, and all the soldiers began to move.

The artificer technicians climbed up the high wall and carried out the final pre-war inspection of all the artifice machines on the wall. At the same time, they opened the safety and activated the artifice machines into combat readiness.

According to the previous arrangement, the legion soldiers quickly entered various positions on the northern wall, holding weapons and calmly watching the incoming green tide.

A large number of extraordinary people also shuttled among the legion soldiers and arrived at the window specially prepared for the extraordinary people according to Tula's orders.

At the same time, some legion soldiers and extraordinary people also entered the reserve area.

Once there are casualties on the northern wall, these legion soldiers and extraordinary people will immediately fill in.

In the military camp behind the city, there were a large number of soldiers and extraordinary people who had just been resurrected from the Fountain of Life. They seized every minute and tried hard to restore their combat effectiveness.

As they were deployed on the black soil defense line, they became the first soldiers and extraordinary people to die in this battlefield.

In addition, a large number of logistical personnel were also running in an orderly manner, and countless magical plants and undead were awakened, ready to provide all logistical assistance to the northern wall at any time.

Standing on the northern wall, Hela turned her gaze from Roland back to the green tide in front of her.

As the last black earth defense line was destroyed, black light flashed in front of everyone's eyes. A large number of green-skinned orcs were blown to death, and another permanent land of the dead appeared in front of them. The last extraordinary person who was defending the defense line also entered the fountain of life and waited for resurrection.

Due to the special nature of the northern wall, in order to prevent the land of the dead from affecting the northern wall, although the green tide is still a considerable distance away from the northern wall, within this distance, there is only the land of the dead.

Hela watched as countless green-skinned orcs madly rushed into the death zone. After running less than a hundred meters, they were drained dry by the death zone and turned into fine sand and fell down.

As more and more fine sand fell to the ground, the dead land began to change, and a strange dark green color quietly covered the dead land.

As the dark green color gradually infected the dead land, the dead land transformed into dark green land became less and less lethal to the green-skinned orcs, until it was completely harmless.

Hela watched as the dead zone disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, while the dark green land continued to occupy the dead zone and spread toward the northern wall.

After seeing the green tide reach the cordon, Hela issued an order through the communication device.

Inside the northern wall, the spellcasters who had been paying attention to the communication devices in their hands also immediately received orders from Hela.

In the small house on the inner side of the northern wall, two spellcasters calmly unlocked the door of the strange device in front of them, and then opened the energy valve.

After the energy valve was opened, the energy stored in advance quickly flowed into the large rune array inside the northern wall along the spell nodes in front of him.

As the huge amount of energy was injected, the spellcasters scattered in various sections of the northern wall also stretched out their perceptions, paying close attention to the flow of energy. At the same time, they also manually activated the spell runes of their section.

Fortunately, the worst outcome did not happen.

After all, the northern wall had been checked repeatedly by spellcasters, and Roland had also checked it himself, so it was unlikely that there would be any major problems.

And in fact, it was true. The huge amount of energy was smoothly injected into the entire magic circle, and the spellcasters who had been sensing the large spell rune magic circle did not encounter any trouble.

At most, a few spellcasters discovered that some nodes had energy accumulation and they simply cleared it up.

In fact, this is not a big problem. Even if the spellcasters do not clear the blockage, these minor troubles can be solved by the self-maintenance of the magic circle after it is fully activated.

Under the gaze of the spellcasters, huge amounts of energy flowed throughout the entire large rune array.

Then, the various sections of the rune array resonated with each other.

A large number of spell runes began to appear on the northern wall, and the elements of the surrounding environment began to gather towards the northern wall frantically. The influx of elements floated around the northern wall, and under the influence of the rune array, these elements began to autonomously form bright spell runes.

As a large number of spell runes formed, a transparent and slightly bright shield started from the top of the northern wall, spread out and fell in all directions, wrapping up the northern wall.

As the shield took effect, bright elemental light pillars rose from the seven holes reserved on the northern wall. Elemental light pillars of different colors rose from the northern wall and connected with the shield.

Then, above the shield, spherical elemental light balls appeared in the sky.

A large number of scattered elements floated out from the shield and merged into these elemental light balls.

As the green tide approached and was about to reach the attack range, the elemental light balls on the shield flickered slightly, and then huge beams of light shot out from them.

A dazzling beam of light cut through the sky, sweeping across the green-skinned orcs that entered the attack range.

Under the attack of the light beam, the ordinary green-skinned orcs in front of the army were quickly evaporated in the light beam, causing huge casualties to the green-skin army.

However, this amount of casualties is really insignificant to the Green Tide. In order to pass through the death zone, the Green Tide has no idea how many green-skinned orcs died. How could they stop because of this amount of casualties?

Without any pause, countless green-skinned orcs continued to rush towards the northern wall madly.

Even though the light beams continued to sweep and kill a large number of green-skinned orcs, they only slowed down the speed of the green tide's advance a little, and the distance between the green tide and the northern wall was still getting shorter and shorter.

As the green tide got closer, more and more attacks were launched from the northern wall.

The artificers controlled the elemental cannons on the city walls and began to frantically bombard the green tide with firepower.

Since there were so many green-skinned orcs, the artificers didn't need to aim at all. They could simply aim at the green tide and then fire wildly.

After the Artificial Intelligence Division opened fire crazily, the Undead in charge of logistics also became busy, continuously carrying various artillery shells and supplies for the Artificial Intelligence Division.

Under the firepower of elemental light balls and elemental cannons, the density of the green-skinned orcs finally showed a significant decrease.

Although there was no end in sight to the green tide before us, and the entire land seemed to be densely packed with green-skinned orcs, the density of green-skinned orcs decreased significantly as we approached the northern wall.

The crazy fire coverage killed a large number of green-skinned orcs. Although these green-skinned orcs were insignificant in the entire green tide, they were not a small number if they were in the green-skinned army charging in the front.

Under the continuous bombardment, more than three-fifths of the green-skinned orcs would die tragically on the way to the charge.

After reaching the shield of the northern wall, the green-skinned orcs passed through the shield unhindered, rushing forward one by one, holding their tattered weapons and howling loudly.

Without any siege preparation, these green-skinned orcs ran to the foot of the northern wall and used their broken weapons to hit the northern wall that was blessed by magic circles.

This behavior is naturally useless. No matter how many ordinary orcs there are or how many times they knock, they cannot cause any substantial damage to the northern wall.

After seventy or eighty years of knocking, the damage done to the northern wall is probably not as fast as the northern wall can repair itself.

However, despite this, the northern wall did not just let them attack.

Under Hela's control, spell runes emerged from the places where the northern wall was hit by the green-skinned orcs, and then a large number of arrows made of elements shot out from them.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With the sound of flesh being torn apart and corpses falling to the ground, the first batch of green-skinned orcs who rushed to the northern wall were like leeks being harvested with a sickle. One cut and the whole row fell down.

However, although the green-skinned orcs in the first few rows were all killed, the green-skinned orcs behind them still rushed up madly, stepping on the corpses.

Then, he was ruthlessly shot to death under the wall by elemental arrows shot from the northern wall.

Under the frenzied attack of the green-skinned orcs, a pile of corpses soon piled up under the northern wall.

After the mountain of corpses was piled up, Hela made another adjustment. Some of the spell runes under the northern wall were hidden inside the wall, and new spell runes reappeared.

Then, flames burst out from the newly appeared spell runes, setting the bodies of the green orcs on fire.

The pile of corpses was soon set on fire, and a wall of fire appeared in front of the northern wall.

Of course, the fire wall had no blocking effect. The green-skinned orcs coming from behind directly crossed the fire wall and rushed towards the northern wall.

However, although it did not have a blocking effect, it still had some effect if it was just about burning the bodies.

Apart from the North Wall's autonomous counterattack mechanism and the firing of some elemental cannons, the North Wall's large rune array and the soldier transcendents have not yet taken action.

They did not look at these ordinary orcs who were easily killed, but all focused their eyes on the distance.

Ordinary green-skinned orcs are just tools used to pollute the dead land. The real combat power of the green tide has not yet been released.

Ordinary greenskin warriors, elite greenskin soldiers, greenskin extraordinary people, and even greenskin warlords all followed behind the ordinary greenskin orcs. They drove the ordinary greenskin orcs into the death zone to die.

And they themselves walked slowly on the dark green land that was safe after being infected.

Except for the fact that they didn't know about the death zone at the beginning and a group of greenskin warriors and greenskin transcendents died, when they knew about the death zone and advanced all the way here, if only the death zone was counted, they had almost no losses.

After all, the dead places are basically filled with ordinary green-skinned slaves or green-skinned orcs.

However, if we take into account the black soil defense line surrounded by the dead zone, it is hard to say.

As the death squad responsible for hindering the advance of the Green Tide and destroying it as much as possible, the soldiers and extraordinary people who are qualified to enter the Black Soil Defense Line are among the most elite.

Ordinary greenskin orcs are basically helpless against them under their unscrupulous tactics. Therefore, if the Green Tide wants to break through the Black Earth Defense Line, they must send out truly powerful greenskin warriors and greenskin transcendents to attack.

Even if greenskin warriors and greenskin superhumans were sent out, the cost of each step in breaking through the Black Soil Defense Line would be extremely high.

Especially at the end of the battle, the Black Soil Defense Line will self-destruct, taking away all the greenskin warriors and greenskin transcendents in the nearby area in one wave.

Moreover, not every fortress on the Black Earth Defense Line will self-destruct until the last person is killed. Once there are enough greenskin warriors and extraordinary people within the self-destruction range, they may directly self-destruct again.

However, if fewer warriors and extraordinary people are sent, the Black Soil Fortress cannot be broken through.

In this situation, the simple-minded Green Tide couldn't think of any good way to solve it, so he could only fight hard.

Anyway, the Green Tide has plenty of warriors and extraordinary people, so it doesn’t matter how many die.

Therefore, as long as the Green Tide encounters the Black Soil Defense Line, a large number of greenskin warriors and extraordinary people will rush forward, and then a large number of them will be killed in the fighting.

Afterwards, when the Green Tide is replenished with soldiers, the Black Earth Fortress will self-destruct, sending all the new green-skinned soldiers and transcendents into the sky.

Therefore, in order to break through one black soil defense line after another, the Green Tide's greenskin soldiers and extraordinary people suffered heavy losses.

As for why the greenskin warriors and the extraordinary people can remain rational and have not rushed up, the main reason is that there is still a small dead zone between them and the northern wall that has not been completely contaminated.

Therefore, they will suppress the rage in their hearts.

However, as another group of ordinary greenskins died on the ground and turned into particles, the last obstacle between the green tide and the northern wall completely disappeared. The greenskin warriors and extraordinary people roared and rushed up.

On the northern wall, the legion soldiers and the extraordinary people also gripped their weapons tightly.
