Chapter 162: Conquer

Time goes back to the day before.

Norton Principality, near the Fallen Leaf Trail.

"Go, the master is watching you!"

"This is the will of the great red dragon!"

"For the Kingdom of Burning Embers!"

Doro is leading hundreds of hobgoblins and bear goblins to march rapidly, traveling along a special path. Their mission is to capture the capital of the Principality of Norton, the city of Kenyaza, as quickly as possible.

Although it is called a principality, the territory of the Principality of Norton is not even comparable to some powerful marquisates. There are only three cities in the country, and three-quarters of the population in the country are concentrated in the city that the Principality of Bosk helped them build, the city of Kenyaza. This name means "the place of rise" in Scandinavian, which contains the eager expectations of the Principality of Norton.

There are nearly 20,000 people in this city. Once it is captured, the entire Principality of Norton will basically be declared extinct. The strategy of the Kingdom of Burning Embers is to use "blitzkrieg" to blitz the capital of the Principality of Norton and capture it directly.

To this end, they brought a full ten artillery pieces, which were siege weapons built by the players of the Storm Armory overtime.

Fortunately, the power of the Dragon Vein Hobgoblins was strong enough to allow them to march quickly even with artillery, without being dragged down by it.

The bear goblins following Doro were a little confused:

"Sir, are these broken iron pipes really useful? Why do I feel that they are not as good as the big sticks in my hands?"

"You ignorant guy."

"Hehe, you will see it soon."

"This is the real symbol of blood and fire."

Dolo grinned and his tone was quite excited.

After experiencing many large-scale wars and tasting the sweetness of firearms, this hobgoblin who is well versed in war has become a thorough "reformist", and even became friends with the president of the Mechanicus, Iron Frenzy.

The defenders who had not experienced this kind of war did not realize the arrival of danger at all, and had not even discovered the well-hidden and blind-spotted army of the Kingdom of Burning Ashes.

The well-trained hobgoblin soldiers set up the gun positions, calibrated them, and quickly completed their preparations.

The hobgoblin skirmishers waited for the opportunity to march.

Doro wiped the blood and fire battle axe in his hand, tore off a piece of meat stuck on it, and then shouted loudly:

"Fire!"

The hobgoblins obeyed the order and put the shells in.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The cannons whistled, setting off thunders on the ground.

The bear goblin just now was so scared that he covered his ears and collapsed on the ground, muttering: "What a powerful iron pipe."

"Humph, coward."

"Don't be a valet in the future."

Doro glanced at him disdainfully, with a contemptuous tone.

The bear goblin who was afraid of even artillery fire was not worthy of being the guard of his general of the Burning Kingdom!

"Hahahaha!"

"That's it! Blow them up!"

Doro laughed loudly, feeling the wonderful smell of gunpowder in the air, and even the loud gunfire could not cover up his laughter.

The Principality of Norton had previously sent most of its troops to join the coalition, and now there were only less than a thousand defenders on the city wall.

The defenders on the tower had never seen such a battle, with cannons roaring and flames flying everywhere.

They only saw a series of vague shadows passing through the sky, and then their vision was occupied by the explosions and flames.

Many soldiers on the city wall were blown to death, and most of the remaining ones were still in a state of panic, not even realizing the arrival of the war.

"Gods... Is this divine punishment?"

"What on earth is this?"

"Ah!"

"Where is the enemy?"

After hundreds of years of "assimilation" and "taming" by the Principality of Bosk, these former barbarians have lost the bravery and fearlessness of their ancestors.

The shells poured down on the city wall wantonly, and under the baptism of artillery fire, the city wall that had stood for hundreds of years collapsed with a bang, and a gap several meters wide appeared.

This is enough.

"Charge!"

Dolo picked up the blood-fire battle axe with one hand and shouted: "Follow me to attack the city! Crush them!"

He rushed to the front of the team and jumped into the gap with a big jump. He just swung the giant axe and turned it around, and the more than ten defenders blocking there were cut in half.

"Monster!"

"Help!"

"Oh my God, it's the jealous war madman Dolo!"

"It's the army of the Burning Kingdom!"

Dolo was even more angry when he heard this nonsense title. He jumped more than ten meters to chase after him and directly beat the rude human into a meat pie with the axe.

"I am Dolo!"

"The most powerful general under the great red dragon!"

"It will also be your eternal nightmare!"

Dolo waved the battle axe and roared in exasperation.

The earth elf sword and shield soldiers followed closely behind, hacking and killing the defenders on the city wall, wantonly venting their long-suppressed desire for killing.

"Damn, these monsters!"

"I can't kill them at all!"

"Is that a scale?"

Under the lightning attack of the Kingdom of Burning Ashes, the defenders on the city wall collapsed and fled in panic.

The earth elves behind them raised their spears, and following the order of the skirmisher sergeant "free fire", they opened fire, shooting at the heads exposed on the city wall, causing many defenders to fall off the wall.

Soon, the nearly 1,000 defenders were wiped out.

Until now, this battle can no longer be called a battle, it is simply a one-sided massacre.

And it only took an hour.

To put it in a more popular way, it might take more than an hour to kill a thousand pigs, but the army of the Burning Kingdom managed to kill all the defenders in an hour.

Among them, Duo Luo turned into a killing machine and killed at least a hundred people with his own hands.

"There is a problem on the city wall!"

"What happened outside?"

"It seems there is an enemy!"

"I seem to hear thunder."

"Damn it, what happened?"

The residents in the city did not even realize what happened, and were still in panic. They did not know that the city had been broken.

However, soon, they understood this.

A loud dragon roar came from the sky.

"Roar——"

The ferocious flame phantom of the red dragon appeared above the city, his golden pupils overlooking the earth, and his wings seemed like a leaping sea of ​​flames, burning the entire city to ashes.

"Gods above..."

"What kind of monster is this!"

"I, I know what it is..."

"Is that the legendary Purgatory Calamity?

People were frightened by the phantom of the giant dragon in the sky, and fell into panic and fear, and the crowd was in an uproar.

"Hello, residents of Kenyaza."

The monster in the sky actually spoke slowly, with a heavy and majestic voice, which was extremely oppressive.

"I am here to inform you."

"From now on, there is no so-called Principality of Norton, only the Kingdom of Burning Embers."

"Everyone, welcome to join the Kingdom of Burning Embers."
