Green Monster Epic

"… … A sudden avalanche, forming a massive mudslide disaster, impacted the battlefield where the Elves and Dwarves were engaged in a decisive battle on the northern front, completely submerging the main force of both armies who were in the midst of fierce combat… …"

"After this disaster, the main force of the Elven army invading the northern front of the Dwarven Kingdom was almost completely annihilated. The Dwarven army stationed at the Ironforge City defense line of the Dwarven capital seized the opportunity to recover the lost territory in one fell swoop. Moreover, taking advantage of the Elven northern front's power vacuum, they launched an aggressive counterattack over ten days, penetrating into the original border of the Elven Kingdom. It is now estimated that they have reclaimed the land occupied by the Elven Kingdom hundreds of years ago."

"Of course, the Dwarven Kingdom also paid a heavy price. More than a million Dwarven soldiers on the northern front, engaged in a decisive battle with the Elves, suffered heavy casualties, with less than one in ten surviving. At the same time, the raging floodwaters wreaked havoc on several Dwarven provinces, extending all the way to the southern basin before being brought under control."

"It is estimated that this flood alone has destroyed two-thirds of the arable land in the northern Dwarven provinces, displacing tens of millions of Dwarven civilians. The cost for the Dwarven Kingdom to rebuild, cultivate manors, towns, and land in the future will also be very high."

"And… …"

In Cinderwind Fortress, Allen and Alvaad, along with the important generals and leaders of the Northern Coalition on the front lines, listened intently to the latest war report from the distant northern regions regarding the crucial war between the two major civilizations. Many were stunned, unable to process or absorb this shocking news for a long time.

Who could have imagined that a natural disaster would devour a massive army of over two million, instantly reversing the offensive and defensive positions? Even if all the Northern tribes were mobilized, the total number of people on the Cinderwind Fortress front lines, including various laborers and slaves with low combat power, had not reached one million.

Allen turned his gaze to the young strategist Alvaad beside him and asked with some hesitation, "Could this event be a scheme by the Dwarven Kingdom?"

Allen couldn't help but have this suspicion. After all, in this disaster, the Dwarven Kingdom, seemingly the biggest victim, was actually the relatively greater beneficiary in terms of practical results and associated effects.

Even though a natural disaster had affected a small half of the Dwarven Kingdom's territory, involving tens of millions of Dwarven families.

"It is very likely to be the case!!"

Alvaad nodded solemnly. Although they only had some fragmented information about the distant northern battlefield, the rational mind of the Halfling Demi-God mage never believed that such a natural disaster could happen so coincidentally.

However, his heart was also filled with too many doubts. For example, how did the Dwarves who designed this disaster manage to deceive the Elves, even their own one million soldiers on the northern front, without anyone noticing the slightest abnormality? And how was the outbreak of this disaster achieved without being discovered by the scouts responsible for guarding, or sensed by the keen Legendary-level experts… …

"If that's the case, then the determination of the Dwarven Kingdom's high-level power struggle, as well as their ferocious methods, are beyond our expectations!!"

Seeing that Alvaad also agreed with his suspicion, Allen not only did not show any complacency, but instead had a thoughtful expression on his face.

Allen put himself in the position of the Dwarven schemer. He would never have such great courage, nor would he have such a willingness to sacrifice a million elite warriors and displace tens of millions of his people.

In the past hundreds of years of conflict between the Dwarves and Elves, the Dwarven Kingdom's high-level leaders were clearly weaker than the Elven Kingdom's rulers in terms of strategy and decision-making. Therefore, they were gradually eroded by the Elves, losing large swaths of border land and more troops and population.

But this time, the Dwarves' earth-shattering move directly changed Allen's perception of them, although this change was somewhat mixed with negative emotions.

"Indeed!!"

Not only Alvaad agreed with Allen's opinion, but even the Northern Territory commanders and leaders on the front lines nodded in agreement.

"Your Excellency!!!"

After a silent exchange of glances, Nelson, who came from Green Field, seemed to have become the spokesperson for the coalition commanders as a whole, and said excitedly, "Now is a great opportunity for our Northern Coalition to launch an attack on the Elven Kingdom's southern territory!!"

"Please allow the coalition to prepare for the Northern Expedition!!!"

The annihilation of the Elven Kingdom's entire army on the northern front, coupled with the Dwarven Kingdom's sudden counterattack, made it inevitable that the Elves would place all their focus on the northern border and the Dwarven Kingdom's army. Even if they did not neglect the defense of the southern border, it was certainly impossible to obtain support from the kingdom's headquarters.

The Dwarves have achieved a major breakthrough on the northern front and are about to recover their lost homeland, giving the Elves a heavy blow. As long as the Dwarven Kingdom's high-level leaders are as clear-headed and wise as they are on the northern front, they will inevitably take corresponding actions on the southern front, creating great pressure on the Elven Kingdom on the southern front.

If the Northern Coalition seizes the opportunity at this time and cooperates with the Dwarven Kingdom's southern army to launch a fierce offensive against the Elven defense line, then it can definitely annex and occupy several provinces on the southern border of the Elven Kingdom.

Moreover, according to the current situation, even if the Elves lose several border provinces in the south, they may not be able to free up their hands to deal with the Northern Coalition in a short time. The North will have more time to prepare and manage the occupied land, building solid defense lines to lay a good foundation for completely occupying it.

As soldiers, they only consider military achievements, while as leaders and strategists of a force, they need to consider more than just these.

Alvaad felt a headache, but he didn't show it. He had finally persuaded the patriarch to give up his coveting of the Elven southern land, but unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, his various assumptions had failed one by one. The perfect opportunity was once again placed in front of Allen and the others, making it impossible for Alvaad to find a reason to stop Allen.

"Alvaad, what do you think?"

Just as he was feeling a headache, Allen's voice suddenly rang in his ears. Obviously, the wise patriarch had also seen the opportunity and was moved again.

"It is indeed a good opportunity, but I think we can wait a little longer!!"

With a wry smile, Alvaad exchanged glances with Allen, his eyes flashing with a determined plan: "If this northern disaster was really designed by the Dwarven Kingdom, then their southern front line will inevitably cooperate with the northern war."

"As long as their southern front also launches a large-scale counterattack, attracting the Elven Kingdom's defensive forces, then it will verify our speculation. When we send troops again, not only will the risk be lower, but the resistance we encounter will also be weaker, and the results we obtain will be greater."

"It's just that if we really want to send troops to counterattack the Elven Kingdom and occupy its southern border provinces, we still need to send someone to Mansa City in advance to inform the pillars and the Temple of Nature."

"After all, if we really want to capture and seize the Elven border lands, we will have to rely on the power of the alliance to achieve its management and defense against the Elven counterattacks."
