Chapter 131: Advancing to capitulate

Just after half of the night, before the light of the sun god Pelor arrived, Osfir's warriors began to move out.

According to the plan designed by Valcke and a group of officers, the entire army entered the southern part of the Xilan Mountains in three waves: front, middle and back.

The first wave was naturally the scouts exploring the road. In the darkness, they were the first to set off, and they were almost silent.

Hundreds of scout cavalry continue to move forward according to the path they have explored before. After entering the central city, the road to Hammer City will become unfamiliar. Their task is to verify various information and then report it to Valk.

In the darkness, each of these cavalry teams had about ten people, all riding wargs. Only wargs could move quickly in this environment with almost no light.

The second wave is the serious combat troops, including goblins, gnolls, lizardmen, etc. They are responsible for eliminating some dangers and stationed along the route that the subsequent army will pass.

The third wave followed the siege troops and baggage transport troops. Most of them were the Nuggets Legion and the recruited citizens. Their marching speed was very slow. Although they were assigned a considerable number of mules, horses and oxen, they still

Can't get up quickly.

Gemu was among the second wave of marchers. In fact, he was urgently summoned shortly after he solved the internal emergency.

He was assigned to a goblin troop of a thousand men and therefore moved with this troop.

There were about thirty carriages in the team, which pulled a lot of supplies, so that the soldiers did not have to carry too many things with them. However, the soldiers could only walk on their own legs during the march.

Although Gemu has the task of being a guide, he has nothing to do at first.

That was it until a few days passed.

At this time, the Thousand-Man Corps had already deviated from the main route of the main force and entered one of the branch lines.

Clay used the dim light of dawn to open the map and observed it carefully to make sure that the team did not go the wrong way.

In this operation, he was also mobilized into the battle order and served as a captain of thousands. Under his command were eight hundred goblins, one hundred giant goblins, and one hundred bugbears. The occupations of these one thousand people were also different, and they had

There are swordsmen, skull crushers, black killers, etc.

It can be said that it is very rare for him to sit in this position as a goblin. Even though he has many warriors with better conditions under him, no one is dissatisfied.

The white scale medal on his chest alone is enough to overwhelm all objections.

"Sir, can we take a break?" Next to him, the hobgoblin adjutant came forward to ask for instructions.

Clay thought for a while and said, "Go forward another five miles and rest at the mouth of the valley."

After receiving the instruction, the adjutant conveyed the order, and the troops marched for a while before settling down at the predetermined location.

The view here is wide and there is a stream not far away. It is a good location.

Soon, the Thousand-Man Team skillfully arranged their formation according to the previous training, leaving enough warning personnel and reaction distance before they could rest.

This was just a temporary repair, so there was no need to set up camp. The soldiers each took out their own breakfast and started eating.

Gray saw a Goblin warrior holding a wooden box. After opening the seal, he took out pieces of strange things and distributed them to everyone.

He also got a share. When he took the thing in his hand, he discovered that the square piece was actually bread.

Gemu didn't know if his description was accurate, because this thing was very solid, not like bread with many holes, as if it had been compacted.

He put it in his mouth and took a bite. Gemu gnawed off a piece without any effort. The texture was a bit crispy and it actually tasted pretty good in his mouth. However, it made him thirsty easily and he had to drink it with water before he could eat it.

After finishing a piece of bread, Gemu actually felt almost full.

While they were eating here, there were also soldiers on guard in the team spreading out and looking around.

Just when Gemu was thinking about how he could make his own bread so hungry, something unexpected happened.

"Enemy attack!"

Suddenly, the soldiers who were standing on the periphery and on alert suddenly noticed something and shouted, and then he quickly squatted down and used his shield to protect himself.

In an instant, the soldiers who had just been resting and eating each other stood up with a roar, picked up their equipment as quickly as possible, and leaned together.

There was a clanging sound, and the warriors had already built a shield wall with shields on the outside. The spearmen and crossbowmen behind had also taken their positions.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow flew out of the woods beside a stream not far away, but fell to the ground in front of the military formation without hitting anyone.

A group of figures emerged from the woods. They were actually a group of halflings. There were about a hundred people.

They didn't have any armor worth mentioning, and at most they had some simple leather armor made of prey fur. At this time, these halflings were aiming their bows and arrows at this direction.

"Don't even think about destroying our home, you villains!"

When Clay saw the other party's condition, he first breathed a sigh of relief.

However, some halflings are stragglers, so there is nothing to worry about. If there were the same number of dwarves, a fierce battle would be inevitable. At the moment, this situation can only be regarded as a small scene.

"Gem, ask your compatriots to put down their weapons and explain things clearly to them. We will not harm them." Clay called the halfling guide over and said to him.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Centurion, and please don't hurt them." Gemu thanked them.

He knew very well that if there were repeated outbreaks, those of the same race would undoubtedly be destroyed immediately, and they would not even be able to cause any decent impact here.

So, this group of halflings who were angry with their enemies saw a crack in the iron hedgehog on the opposite side. They nervously aimed their bows and arrows, but then they discovered that a halfling actually walked out of the crack?

"Don't be nervous, comrades!" Gemu shouted.

His appearance was indeed very effective, and the situation became less tense in an instant.

From Clay's perspective, he saw that Grim had gone to the group of halflings without any effort and was talking hard, and he was immediately relieved.

Although more and more halflings in the south know that the north is taking them in, there are still some halflings who are unwilling to leave.

Some of them live in the mountains and make a living by hunting, and cannot encounter shark lizards. Some of them live in too remote places and don't know about Osfir at all.

These remaining halflings may become obstacles to Osfir's advance, or even lead to conflicts. Therefore, it is necessary to select some halflings to do the pacification work.

On this side, Clay's experience was just a microcosm. In fact, as the army continued to expand, more and more troops encountered this situation. Fortunately, due to the existence of the halfling guides, there were basically no conflicts.

Among them, some halflings were even willing to join Osfir on the spot.

For all this, according to Theos's order, all comers are welcome. Halflings who are unwilling to leave can also be arranged in the south, and they do not necessarily have to go to the north.

In fact, after conquering the south, Theos will definitely let many halflings move back south.

In this way, various situations continued to occur in the south, and the ensuing information was continuously passed to the rear, carried by the Harpy.

But at this time, Theos was not in his office.

The army went out for battle. Although he didn't have to go out before the siege of Molten Hammer City, there was still one thing that needed to be dealt with first - the shark lizard beast.

Not long ago, the ferocious species of shark-lizard beasts that Theos deliberately rushed to the south did not exceed his expectations, and really caused a bloody storm in the south.

At this point, Theos will definitely not be able to let him cause trouble here anymore, and he must be arrested and brought to justice immediately.

This is not only to reduce the casualties of the halflings, but also to ensure the safety of Osfir's army.

The wings flew through the clouds. In late autumn, the humid water was very cold, but it only made Theos feel a little comfortable.

According to the murder records provided by the gathered halflings, Robbie and others have roughly figured out the action route and general location of this violent species.

After patrolling this area, Theos was not found, so he had no choice but to expand the scope.

After about half a day, Theos came close to his goal - a fairly flat valley.

Theos was flying in the air and could see the whole valley. At this moment, a rolling wave of earth was raging continuously.

The low-rise houses originally built on the valley were already in shambles. Theos's vision could even see the halflings running away underneath, as well as some halflings who had fled to the mountains.

"Finally found you." Theos spent a lot of effort.

Without any further hesitation, Theos folded his wings and swooped down. While in mid-air, he released his dragon power and accurately targeted the shark lizard beast below.

Terrifying majesty.

Almost instantly, the shark lizard beast felt a burst of instinctive fear and turned around to leave.

In this way, the halflings who were being chased like a cat chasing a mouse finally escaped and saved a small life.

Theos also did this deliberately, wanting to minimize casualties.

After driving the shark lizard beast into the mountains for a while, and after making sure that the surrounding area was empty, Theos opened his mouth wide, and strong fire element energy gathered in his mouth.

The shark-lizard beast in the ground instinctively sensed that something was not good, but before running far, Theos lowered his head and vomited.

Rolling flames covered the ground, and in just a few breaths, the entire ground was heated into an oven by Theos's breath.

"roar!"

The parched ground suddenly shattered, and the shark lizard beast's big head broke out of the ground, and it was struggling to crawl out.

"Hide, why don't you hide underground?" Theos said in amusement.

The natural advantage of burrowing into the ground gives the Shark-Lizard a certain advantage when facing many creatures. In other words, it will not be too badly restrained.

After all, he can hide, and even if he is injured, he can use his expertise to restore blood and heal his injuries underground.

With similar levels, the Shark Lizard is undoubtedly a heavyweight monster.

However, it can only be unlucky when it encounters Theos. After all, Theos is a heavyweight.
