Spellcasting Heavens

Just as many Northlanders turned their attention to the increasingly tense relations between Luskan and Waterdeep, as well as the various small-scale fierce conflicts and frictions, no one noticed that a large and well-equipped army had already formed. The path across the Spine of the World reaches a tributary of the Mirar River.

After a whole winter of battles, the orc Gar is no longer the tribal chief with only one or two thousand troops and five thousand old and weak women and children, but a king who controls more than 13,000 bloodthirsty warriors.

Of the thirteen thousand warriors, four thousand five hundred were goblins, fifteen hundred kobolds, two thousand and a half orcs, one thousand orcs, eight hundred gnolls, and one thousand two hundred barbarians. The next is the overseer team composed of hobgoblins, bear goblins, ogres, trolls and giants.

Even the hegemonic creatures of the extreme north, the frost giants and two younger white dragons, were forced to join them.

The reason is simple, even they can't resist the evil army that swept across Icewind Dale, so after a little tentative engagement, a wise choice was quickly made.

Especially the young white dragon, whose intelligence is not much better than that of beasts. After being beaten, he resolutely lowered his noble head, and one of them even volunteered to be the mount of the orc chief.

In addition, Gar also took advantage of the number of people to capture more than 30 rare mammoths, and transformed these huge herbivores into terrifying weapons of war, whether it was sieging a city or launching a charge on the plain. , can play the role of finalizing the sound.

Combined with the scouts made up of Winterwolves and Wargs, it can be said that once Gar decides to start a war, the entire Northland may be conquered in a very short time.

Unfortunately, Zhang Cheng did not issue such an order, so the orc chief only brought about half of his troops on this trip, and the rest were still hidden in the depths of the endless frozen wasteland.

Although he did not understand why his inscrutable master was so careful, he still did not dare to resist in the slightest.

Because he could never forget the opponent's huge body that covered the sky and the sun, the fiery flames that spewed from the dragon's mouth, and the blood-colored spring water that was indispensable for casting this army.

Feeling the biting cold wind blowing down from the high mountain, Gar took a deep breath and turned to ask the moon elf who was following behind him: How long will it take to reach Luskan? Besides, you'd better tell me what my master needs. what are we going to do?

Six days! Sorry, I was ordered to take you to Luskan, and I don't know the rest. Valindra squinted at the monsters who were camping, with an inexplicable smile on her face.

As an elf far from home, she never thought that Icewind Dale, which is worthless in the eyes of many people, would hide such a large army, and she also realized that when this army appeared on the outskirts of Luskan What a violent shock it will cause.

war!

The only way to change the distribution of existing benefits!

The reason why Luskan fears Waterdeep stems from his inability to outsmart the opponent on the frontal battlefield, but with this army of monsters, the situation will be reversed immediately.

Perhaps Gar didn't realize how powerful he was, but Valindra did.

There is no doubt that this is an army that can change the situation in the North, a force that can truly make Waterdeep feel fear and fear.

You must know that the Faerun continent is not the earth, and any city has a population of millions or even tens of millions.

Restricted by transportation routes, most so-called big cities have a population of no more than 20,000 people, and they must be built on rivers to transport the massive amounts of grain, vegetables, fruits, cloth, iron products, etc. that the city consumes every day. Wait.

Cities with more than 100,000 people like Waterdeep City and Port Karin are a handful in the entire continent. Each one has a long history and is protected by powerful magical power. Otherwise, it will not be long before all kinds of disasters occur. Decay, perish.

How many troops can a city of about 20,000 support?

Taking the fully militarized Luskan as an example, there are five generals in charge of daily affairs. There was a team of seventy sailors.

In general, excluding the pirates, mercenaries and mages who are not in the establishment, Luskan's standing military force is only 1,350!

And relying on these 1,350 people, they firmly suppressed the southern city of Neverwinter.

In contrast, Waterdeep City has a larger army due to its larger population, but it does not exceed four or five hundred people. Two thousand of them must stay in the city. On the one hand, in order to suppress possible riots, on the other hand, it is also In order to defend against the monsters that suddenly ran out of the huge underground labyrinth.

This means that even if Waterdeep and Neverwinter join forces, the number of troops that can be called will not exceed 3,000, plus Luskan's own soldiers, a total of just over 4,000.

But now this army of monsters, which has only been mobilized by half, is already more than 6,000, especially the goblins who have drank the blood-red spring water. Their strength, agility, and physique are far beyond that of ordinary human soldiers. The fear of pain and death is definitely a nightmare for any enemy.

Six more days to go? The jerky we carry can last up to two weeks. What will happen after two weeks? Gar touched the scar on the left side of his face and frowned.

Food is always the most troublesome problem for an army. The larger the army, the more food it consumes.

Although he has been hunting whales and smoking jerky for the whole winter, his carrying capacity is limited, and after crossing the ridge of the world, there is not much left.

Don't worry, the master will prepare everything for you. In addition, I suggest that you should separate your army and let the barbarians and orcs go to Luskan as the vanguard, and hide in the forest. The female elf reminded calmly.

Hehe! I understand! Gar cracked his mouth and revealed a sinister smile.

He is not the same kind of people who are full of fighting and killing thoughts, and understands the importance of tactics.

Barbarians and half humans, though seen as a race on the fringes of civilization, can at least be accepted by some humans.

But goblins, kobolds, orcs, ogres, trolls, and giants are different. The latter are regarded as monsters. Soldiers and adventurers don't even need a reason, and they can draw their swords to kill them without needing a reason. take any blame.

After a short rest, early the next morning, the monster army continued its march south along the empty wilderness.

In order to hide, they did not choose to take the road, but crossed the newly thawed floodplain.

A few unlucky hunters and rangers who accidentally bumped into each other eventually became the food in the belly of Warg and Winter Wolf...
