Chapter 266 The Raid of the Gnolls
The Kingdom of Beshilik, one of the most powerful kingdoms in the northern continent of Kaladimos, has military power that can match the empire.
Unlike the Kingdom of Stoke, which is dominated by humans, the Kingdom of Beshilik is a lizard man kingdom, which implements a tribal system. The kingdom law also clearly states that the top of the kingdom is the lizard man, followed by the vassal racial gnolls, while other races are mostly slaves in the kingdom.
The racial talent of the lizard man is far stronger than that of humans. From birth, the lizard man has a strong body that is several times that of humans. With its strong hard skin, an ordinary lizard man soldier can easily defeat an ordinary five-man team of humans. In addition, each lizard man will have a certain number of nerd soldiers to follow him, very much like the knight attendant under the extraordinary knights in the human kingdom.
However, it is also the natural physical reason for the lizard people. The spell casters born in their race are very rare, so rare that some small and medium-sized tribes only have one or two spell casters, or even none.
The warlike Beshilik Kingdom conquered nearby countries everywhere. Over the past thousand years, these lizardmen and werewolves absorbed rich foreign knowledge and formed their own unique culture. Even their powerful neighbors, the Ailanfaluo Empire was often plundered by the lizardmen.
Not to mention the Kingdom of Stock, this weak kingdom is still in the cultivation and resting place.
The Kuromu Province in its northwest region has been invaded by the Beshilik Kingdom for many years, resulting in the economic sluggishness of the entire province and its basic development is quite backward. Except for a few cities, most of them are villages and towns.
It is also a province where even the traveling merchants and wandering merchant groups rarely return. Occasionally, some mercenaries will take on the employment tasks of villages and towns, resist the plunder of some small-scale werewolves, and earn silver ropes to support their families. (Currency: amethyst-gold shield-silver ropes-copper tin)

The dark twilight is like mud and sand floating in the turbid current, gradually settled down when the night sky is still, and there is a clear distinction like sand and soil. The quiet and heavy silence covers the sky above the Black Wood Province. Going further away, there is a clear and clear color, flashing a few stars.
Fortress Fortress, the most important point of the northwest defense line of the Blackwood Province, is also the front line to resist the invasion of the Beshilik Kingdom.
"Sir, will the Royal Capital Military Office have any reply?" In the brightly lit guardhouse, there were more than a dozen figures, with heavy armor and sharp soldiers.
"Let's wait for support! The chaos in the kingdom has not yet ended, and I don't know when the support will arrive." Earl Nikita looked at the dark night, as if hungry beasts were devouring everything, and even the dark starlight had not fallen.
Nikitanaku, the Count of the Kingdom, the commander of the Black Wood Legion, and the commander of the entire northwest defense line of the Kingdom.
"Wait? Damn, have those big men sitting in the military experienced the invasion of the lizardmen? How do you wait?"
Oppa couldn't help but curse and said, his angry temper was undoubtedly revealed at this moment, and there was no way to do so. As the administrator of Kuroki Province, he had been in this land for decades, had experienced countless entry and plunders of lizardmen and werewolves, and had also seen countless people tragically die on the roadside.
He knew very well that once the war began, every day's waiting would be the sacrifice of countless soldiers and the death of civilians in the kingdom.
"Old guy, then what good will you do? Do you directly kill the 20,000 Lizardman Legion and 50,000 Gnoll soldiers stationed on the border of the Kingdom?" Earl Nikita turned his head and looked at Oppa beside him and said dullly. He did not expect that the magical messenger of the Royal Capital Military Office would be so slow and delayed.
In previous years, when Beshilik's Kingdom invaded, the king would mobilize some legions from the Yinsong Province and Moricho Province to help with the garrison, but the magical message sent this time made him a little uneasy, and something was brewing in the seemingly peaceful kingdom.
Hopefully, it will not affect the situation of Kuroki Province at this moment! Earl Nikita stared at the cold night, and his face showed a hint of worry.
The Kingdom of Beshilik was eyeing the kingdom. If chaos and infighting occurred within the kingdom, then he could not imagine what the Heiki Province, which was trapped in war, would become.
"Notify all soldiers to strengthen their vigilance and defend the city walls without any relaxation." Earl Nikita said to the guard on his left.
"Wait, send scouts to issue alert orders to all cities and towns in the Northeast Line."
"Yes, Lord Earl!" The guards took the order and rushed to the military camp with the most elite scout brigade in Forsbailo Fortress.
................
The night was getting darker and the stars disappeared. The deep darkness enveloped the entire Lizardman tribe. This was the famous Kokel tribe in the Beshilik Kingdom. It was stationed in the eastern part of the kingdom and plundered the Black Wood Province all year round.
Coker represents the meaning of the killer in the lizardman culture, and the Coker tribe reflects this to the fullest. The wealth it plunders every year makes countless tribes in the kingdom envious and coveted.
The magic glow disappeared in his hands. Northcockel, the strong lizardman, took a breath, and excitement and killing appeared in his upright red pupils. He waved his hand to light the candles in the tent, and the dim light illuminated the surrounding environment.
"Habakak, come in."
A heavy curtain was lifted up, and a zodiac with gray fur walked in. The fangs were gray and yellow, stained with blood, and the scarred face was filled with respect.
"Mr. North, what are your instructions?"
"The warm wind of the Endless Sea has blown to the Kingdom of Stoke, and order the zombies under your command to enter the attack state. I hope to see a zombies longing for blood and killing before dawn." North said to the zombies chief in front of him, his scarlet tongue licking his dry mouth.
Endless Sea? Isn't that the westernmost part of the kingdom? When will the sea breeze cross the kingdom and float to this plain hilly area? Habakak showed a puzzled look, but it did not prevent him from hearing the next order.
Desire for blood and killing! Does that mean that a new plunder war has arrived?
"Willing to serve you, the Gnolls will tear all the human soldiers who blocked them." Habakak split his mouth, his hideous smile was particularly terrifying against the gray and yellow fangs, and he immediately left the tent.
The candlelight flashed, reflected on the peaceful face of the lizardman. The dark green face filled with an inexplicable look, as if thinking, or thinking.
"Humans are really interesting races!"
"Is this a piece of fat meat chopped off and sent it to me? Then we will accept it without hesitation. Haha, maybe you will spend an extremely high price to redeem it in the future, right?"
A low and cold smile echoed in the rough tent, like a hungry beast releasing the sentiment of killing, causing glory to tremble.
