The Grand Duke of Nicholas was a real military family in the Northern Red Dragon Empire, and his subordinates were also one of the most powerful military forces in various human countries.

The territory of the Grand Duke of Nicholas was the only passage for the northern orcs to move south for the entire human empire. It traveled through the Heihe River Valley in the Hengduan Mountains for more than 300 years. During this period, the entire family never participated in the many palace conspiracies and political turmoils of the royal family of the Red Dragon Empire, and devoted themselves to defending the northern gate for the entire human world.

The army controlled by the Nicholas family is a real elite soldier. Its significance is not only limited to the Red Dragon Empire, but also protects the safety of the entire human race. Although the orcs have no power in recent years and no longer have the ability to ravage the human world like they used to destroy, the orcs' powerful military threat to humans is firmly engraved in the history books of each country and deeply remembered by humans on the entire continent.

Every year, countless young knights and magicians from other countries of mankind sing the legend of heroes circulating in history, and traveled thousands of miles to join the Hengduan Mountains to share the glory of resisting orcs. Hundreds of years of rough training and fighting with orcs have made the Northern Legion under the jurisdiction of the Northern Grand Duke the largest and most elite military group in the Red Dragon Empire.

In the territory of the Northern Grand Duke, every child who grew up here was instilled with blood memory and national hatred for orc invasions since childhood. When they grew up, they would have to receive the official reserve military training for orc invasions. Everyone here had a knight dream of killing the northern wasteland and eliminating orcs.

The people here, the tradition of military training and family training passed down for hundreds of years, transformed every leader here like a professional soldier. Even the children were brave, obedient and strict when they were having fun. They had the strongest body, the most warlike personality, and the most greedy temperament among the mainland humans!

They all exuded a primitive vulgarity in their bones, a rude and rudeness like orcs, as irritable as orcs. They were the best warriors, but they were also the most primitive nations among the mainland human race. Apart from gold coins, magic crystals and beauties, almost nothing could arouse their interest.

Humans from other parts of the mainland are collectively called northerners.

The current Lord Nicholas Stanwich III is a typical northerner.

He looked at the businessman who looked flattering under his living room, rubbed the huge gems on the ring in his hand, and said to the businessman with contempt:

"That's all, what your Thorn Flower Consortium is going to provide me with this news?"

"Yes, Lord Honorable Duke!" the merchant replied cautiously.

When he came, he knew that these northern military nobles were all unreasonable guys, and the one in front of him was the most terrifying one of all unreasonable guys. In front of him, if he spoke a little unsatisfied, he would be able to bring a bolt from the blue. In an instant, his family was destroyed and even dragged down the entire business group, so he had to be careful.

He said:

"Although our business group is not lucky enough to establish a transaction relationship with you, the great Lord of the Lord, we have this sincerity. When we heard that the Northern Elf Court was preparing to mobilize all to the wasteland, we immediately thought that this news might be useful to you. We immediately used the family's communication, Feibird relay to send the message to you, and several birds were broken along the way. They were all trained for many years. Our Thorn Flower Merchants..."

He was so nagging here that he wanted to continue talking and earn some sympathy. Unexpectedly, the grand duke suddenly reached out and interrupted him: "Stop!"

He immediately shut up, and was in a panic and didn't know where he offended you.

The big public said:

"You go back and tell you the Lord Duke of Thorn Flower, saying that I really can't see what the elves sent troops to the wasteland has to do with our Red Dragon Empire. The wasteland is so big, the forest elves are so far away from us, and what happens in the elves forest is at most related to your Kingdom of Solva. If you tell him, just say: I have taken his mind, but I mean, don't stretch his hands so long! The northern territory has nothing to do with their Solva merchants!"

The poor businessman was scolded by the grand duke with a stern voice. He came with joy, but in the end he had to go back in disappointment.

After the guards took the merchant down, the young warrior who had been standing beside the grand duke stood up immediately.

"My father! The elves sent troops to the wasteland is indeed good news for us. And behind this thorny flower merchant group is the nephew of His Majesty Kasardin, the king of the Kingdom of Solva, as the backing. The friendship from him should be valuable to us. Why did you... choose to deal with it like this?"

This warrior is Charles, the eldest son of Grand Duke Nicholas. Listening to Grand Duke’s handling of business will help him cultivate his successor to the status of Grand Duke faster. Today, Grand Duke’s handling of this matter really put him in doubt.

The grandfather explained to his son with a sarcasm on his face.

"You don't understand, son! This matter is not that simple. In recent years, our human countries have been peaceful for too long, and there has been no war with the orc elves around us. Although all countries have developed well in recent years, especially in the past century, the royal families of all countries have been stable and there has been no major turmoil.

Such long-term peace has made some people dissatisfied. They are very quiet and always want to jump out and make trouble. Is this time the elves sent troops, is it really the oracle of the elves? Humph! We northerners don’t believe in these, there must be something behind this. The royal family of the Solva kingdom has always had a tradition of intermarrying elves, and the elves’ actions may not have no intention of theirs.”

After hearing his father's words, Charlie frowned. This overly large-scale national politics was a bit complicated for him.

"What my father meant was, don't want to be involved in their muddy waters?"

"Well, I am not like wading into this muddy water." The Grand Duke nodded and explained to his son: "Our northern leaders have our own politics. Do whatever we should do, and do not be influenced by the greedy southerners. Entering the wasteland is their business. If they have the ability to occupy the wasteland, just do it. The wasteland is very big, enough for everyone to break in and gallop. But if they want to use this, they can use this to motivate our northern leaders to march towards the grassland and help them attract firepower, that is a delusion. Our northern leaders will not be buried with other people's ambitions!"

"But, my dear father! What if those elves really entered the wasteland? Let's think about it," Charlie asked, "the orcs on the wasteland are born good slaves, and they can all sell at high prices. Moreover, there are rich minerals on the wasteland, especially the gold mines near the Hengduan Mountains and the North Sea, as well as the magical cores and magic crystals, which is a sky-high wealth! Every year, the merchants passing by our passers-by to the wasteland, all of them make a fortune, and each one is rich."

The Lord Grand Duke laughed to the sky for his son's childish greed,

"Haha, my son! He is also at the age of trying to seize gold. However, there are so many good things in this world, but more importantly, he has to live to spend it!"

"There are indeed many good things on the wasteland, but those orcs are not easy to mess with. Our family has been guarding this north for generations. It has been hundreds of years. How many times have they fought with the orcs? There are not a million evil spirits that died outside the Hailar Castle wall. Can bury corpses together fill the entire Heihe River Valley. Do you think we have entered the wasteland?"

Charlie shook his head,

"Then that's it, no! Look! My son! Orcs are not that easy to deal with. Those troublesome gods of war priests, even the red-clothed priests of our God of Truth, the God of Justice, are hard to deal with. Just the elves want to invade the wasteland? Huh! Don't think about it?"

"But! Haha!" The Grand Duke continued: "We have not fought with the orcs on a large scale for many years. We are not very clear about the changes in the power of the wasteland in recent decades. The elves are willing to go to war themselves. We also welcome them with both hands and let them test. Let's follow and see if the combat power of the orcs on the wasteland has changed in recent years!"

They are our pathfinding stones.

Hahaha! The father and son smiled at each other without saying a word.

...

Although the elves' Northern Expedition was not large for the entire human world, the battle between the two of the three major forces on the mainland also attracted the attention of the human world. In addition to the Kingdom of Solva, which is closely related to the Northern Elf Court and the territory of Nicholas, which guards the Hengduan Mountains, other human forces also received news one after another through their own channels.

In the magic capital of Mistra, the core of the human kingdom, the tower of the sky that soared straight into the sky. Several great magicians surrounded each other and cast spells on the top of the tower. Under the shining of the wands of the great magicians, the dazzling magical light ignited from the top of the furnace of the tower tower among the crowd, and went upwards, and penetrated straight into the sky along the spire of the tower tower.

With a loud bang, the Mana power core of Tongtian Tower was driven by the forbidden spell jointly cast by the great magicians, and the entire tower body of Tongtian Tower shone at the same time.

The huge Mana energy attacked along the energy circuit of the tower. Countless magic materials along the way were activated one after another. The huge magic crystals and magic cores emitted bright magic brilliance at the same time, making the tower body dazzling like a galaxy leading straight to the sky. Inlaid on the top of the magic furnace, the precious ancient dragon dragon crystal that was enough to buy the entire Mistera City also shines, emitting a bright light as bright as day, just like the most dazzling sun in the Milky Way.

All the magicians, knights and nobles in the city of Mistera felt the glory of this great magic at this moment! At this moment, countless free mana silent in the space were tilted by this epic torrent of Mana, forming a hurricane surrounding the entire tower of heaven, stirring up a dreamlike dazzling light in the air, spewing hundreds of kilometers away, and the whole world was bright!

Everyone in the city stopped the work being performed solemnly at the same time, quietly feeling the magical glory in the void and the riot of Liberty Mana. At this moment, the great mystery of the true essence of magic became extremely clear in the feelings of every magic apprentice. This is the enlightenment from the highest-level great magicians.

After a while, the strange movement caused by the forbidden spell on the Tower of Heaven gradually faded into the void. Everything returned to normal. Only then did everyone in the city recover from it, looked around in confusion, and realized what had just happened.

In the Tower of Heaven, Noah, the great magician who had just finished casting the forbidden spell, replied from the casting process, looked at the other great magicians around him, and said, "The Mana force field in the Northern Continent has not changed abnormally, and Hao Dixiu has not moved abnormally. The elves of this war will not receive the help from their masters directly."

Another great wizard then asked,

"That means that the elves' war is likely to be a failure?"

There was no answer to this question.
