Chapter 972 - 133: The Majestic and Mighty Fantasy Army Launches the Offensive Immediately
Seeing Hilude’s serious expression as she traversed surrounded by attendants approaching, Su Li knew something significant must have happened.
So he halted his steps of visiting Flash Spear City with Speaker Rong’en and looked at Hilude asking, "What happened?"
Hilude’s heroic eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, she replied with a firm battle spirit, "Lord, Marshal Oerstein has sent news from the frontline; just two hours ago, Blue Mirror Territory officially deployed heavy troops to seal the border, imposing tariffs exceeding 150% on all passing trade caravans!"
Su Li let out a deep humph; for this moment, the territory had been preparing for war since last winter!
He tightened his grip on his sword, stood tall with a determined spirit, and swung his fist heavily, raising his voice passionately, "Our army is righteous and brave, any treacherous foe, strong though they may be, will be slaughtered! Command all three forces, assemble immediately, and break through this Baron’s Territory at once!"
"War!"
"War!"
"War!"
Following Su Li’s rallying call, the Black Forest Guard Knights and high-level directly affiliated attendants around him were all spirited, their morale surged, raising their weapons high and shouting.
The Empire’s people have never feared the battlefield, true knights have always been eager to fight and earn glory!
Moreover, this battle is of extraordinary significance for the territory; if they can defeat Baron Grant’s Territory and directly annex it, it undeniably means that Hesse Territory will possess the power of a barony. No one can question it.
Come year-end, the Empire’s assessment will undoubtedly pass smoothly, and the lord will have the formal title of a baron. With this baron’s title, he can rightfully appoint other knights as Kingdom Knights!
This is the essential reason that countless knights followed Su Li to Hesse Territory, loyally fighting and shedding blood for him.
They all hope to follow Su Li and obtain noble titles!
In this battle, Su Li’s prestige is simply sky-high.
With a grand aura, he pointed on the map; thousands of the most elite, fiercest warriors and troops immediately set out from all directions to fight fiercely and shed blood for him.
After he announced the order, in less than two hours, the troops stationed around Flash Spear City started moving out from their camps, beginning to assemble on the plains in front of the city.
As Hesse Territory’s power increases, Su Li’s army has become more and more fantastical.
Here, the first to deploy were undoubtedly the Griffin Knights in the sky; four knights shining all over with a golden light rode tiger-striped Griffins appearing in the sky, their Griffins flapping large wings, crossing Flash Spear City’s huge towers and fortresses with noble and elegant postures, flying out from high towers holding the vermilion banner of Hesse Territory with the banner flying vigorously in the sunlight.
Their armor banners, cloaked in Fiery Sun gold brilliance, illuminating the sun and moon.
Eagles hovered in the sky, eyes sweeping past these flying Griffin Knights and their high-raised banners, clearly spotting below a massive, well-organized elite force.
Only to see a warband of Half-Lion Griffin Knights leading with two Divine Chosen Knights at the forefront of the team, such a large number of Monster Cavalry charging ahead, wherever they appear, they are a formidable and terrifying force.
Behind the galloping Half-Griffins, hundreds of Black Forest Guard Knights and high-tier directly affiliated Knights, holding gold lances high, banners flying, armor gleaming, marched forward.
They were all adorned in Vibranium Rune Armor and Star Iron Armor, and when they charged, even the Dwarf’s cannon couldn’t slow their charging momentum.
Behind them were large Ogre troops, carrying large clubs and cleavers, their big bellies moving forward in strides, their height not much less than the knights riding tall horses up front.
Strong ogre mages carrying fiery Molten Fire Staffs, the signature equipment of Fire Stomach Mages, not only a staff but also a heavy close-combat weapon, its staff head usually inlaid or infused with hot lava, burning embers, or even some confined Fire Elemental Core, making the entire staff head emit high temperatures and dark red glow constantly.
Behind these massive figures was a large-scale Half-Elf mechanical legion, Combat Ram War Chariots and Half-Elf Harvesters, usually used for production but also able to reap heads on the battlefield.
Behind the Half-Elf machinery, it’s Hesse Territory’s most powerful artillery forces, including 4 Hot Pot Cannons, 18 cannons, and 2 cannons.
If Blue Mirror Territory’s knights really decide to engage in a decisive battle on the plains with Hesse’s main forces, these massive artillery forces will deal heavy damage to them.
Behind the artillery forces are fully equipped Dwarf Legions, including Dwarf Thundering Musketeers, Dwarf Rangers, Dwarf Butchers, and Dwarf Mountain Shield Array.
The entire warband, from strong Monster Cavalry to tall Ogres, to heavy combat machinery, and the massive human Cavalry, Half-Elf Legions, and Dwarf Legions, truly showed the fantastical colors to the fullest.
What truly makes one’s heart excited, ambition soaring, is that all the legions are well-trained, wearing fine armor, with neat formations and banners flying.
Just as this legion marched forward with echoing steps and enthusiasm, a massive, dignified dragon roar suddenly rang from the rear of the army, followed by overwhelming pressure like Fiery Sun suddenly rising from the city!
