#1110 - Changes in the south - Lord: Start with the Pioneer Knight

On the early morning of March 1st, 9772 of the Glorious Calendar, Loska Highground City, the royal capital of the Coles United Kingdom, was shrouded in an atmosphere of solemnity and awe.

As dawn broke, faint light spilled onto the vast plains outside the city, reflecting the cold glint of countless iron armors.

Over 300,000 Black Orcs were arrayed in neat formations, clad in heavy iron armor, wielding sharp greatswords, with fervent flames burning in their eyes, their gazes fixed intently on the figure upon the altar.

The altar stood thirty meters tall, towering in the center of the plain.

Upon the altar, the Black Orc High Priest, Godfather of the Seven Kings, Apostle of the Black Orc God, Orc Prophet, Dark Monarch, Legendary High-ranking Orc Archbishop – Aldrick Crofts Audiss knelt before the Black Orc God statue, chanting the 《Jamus Scripture》. His deep and majestic voice emanated from his mouth, echoing between heaven and earth, penetrating the hearts of every Black Orc warrior.

Under the baptism of this voice, the distractions in the hearts of the 300,000-strong army were completely purified, their faith became more devout and fanatical, ready to dedicate themselves to their faith at any time, fight for their god, and witness their devotion to the Black Orc God.

Below the altar steps, eighteen legendary Black Orcs knelt on one knee, heads bowed, their eyes full of respect and awe, listening to the Jamus Scripture while awaiting the High Priest's command.

"…The glory of our God shall be cleansed with the blood of traitors."

Aldrick's chanting came to an abrupt halt as he slowly stood up, turning to face the 300,000-strong army below the altar, his black robes billowing in the wind.

The eighteen legendary Black Orcs followed closely behind, rising to their feet and descending the altar to stand before the army.

"Three thousand two hundred and forty-five years ago," Aldrick's voice rang out once more, deep and full of power, "the traitors split the tribe, abandoned our God, and sided with humans, an unforgivable crime."

His words were like a sharp blade, piercing the hearts of every warrior, awakening the hatred and anger towards the traitors deep within their bloodline.

"For thousands of years, countless warriors have dedicated themselves to the cause of eradicating the unforgivable sinners, using the blood of traitors to prove their devout faith in our God."

"Today, the Holy War begins anew."

The voice was like a war drum, shaking the hearts of every warrior.

The breathing of the 300,000 Black Orc warriors grew rapid, the flames in their eyes almost erupting.

"To slaughter the traitorous clan is my mission, your mission, the mission of the Black Orc clan."

"If it cannot be done in one day, then dedicate ten."

"If it cannot be done in a thousand years, then dedicate ten thousand."

"If it cannot be done in ten generations, then dedicate a hundred."

"Southward!"

The 300,000 Black Orc warriors roared in unison, their eyes bloodshot.

The wind howled, yellow sand filled the sky, and the military flags fluttered in the wind.

Aldrick looked at the 300,000-strong army and waved his hand, "Advance."

Upon hearing this, the Legendary Mid-Rank Black Orc standing on the right side of the army formation waved his hand and pulled a black dragon from a demiplane, throwing it onto the ground.

The black dragon lay prostrate in the sand, its eyes filled with resentment, but upon seeing the cold expression of the Black Orc, its body began to tremble, and it quickly lowered its head, not daring to meet his gaze.

Arriving at the black dragon's head, the Legendary Mid-Rank Black Orc raised his hand and grasped, and an illusory iron chain appeared in his hand.

Driven by the Chain of Souls, the black dragon flew into the air, but its altitude did not dare to exceed that of the extremely terrifying old Black Orc.

Arriving in the air, the transmitting mid-level Black Orc solemnly saluted High Priest Aldrick, and then faced the army, saying: "King Aysia."

A Legendary Low-Rank Black Orc warrior stepped forward a few steps and saluted Regis Aldrick, the head of the Seven Kings, who was standing on the black dragon's head.

"King Garolian."

A Legendary Low-Rank Black Orc Orc Prophet stepped forward and saluted Regis Aldrick.

"Bartley, Rabha, Leroyah."

As the words fell, three Legendary Black Orcs stepped out of the formation and stood behind King Aysia and King Garolian.

"In the name of the Apostle of God, the Black Orc High Priest, I appoint King Aysia as the commander of the Northern Army, King Garolian as the deputy commander of the Northern Army, and Bartley, Rabha, and Leroyah as marshals, to command the 50,000 legion warriors to march north, conscripting tribal warriors along the way to expand the army, and to attack the Belfast Kingdom in mid-October."

"Yes."

The five legendary figures solemnly saluted Aldrick on the altar, and then saluted Regis Aldrick to show their obedience to his orders.

"King Xavicado."

A Legendary Mid-Rank Black Orc Bloodboil Warrior came before Regis Aldrick, awaiting orders.

"…"

"…I appoint King Xavicado as the commander of the Eastern Army, King Kerilin and King Heshengnai as the deputy commanders of the Eastern Army, and Chinbis, Toressa, Gedart, and Mirar as marshals, to command 100,000 legion warriors, dividing the western and eastern regions as conscription areas, conscripting tribal warriors to attack the Dawn Principality, in order to divert the attention of the Dawn Church."

"Yes."

The seven legendary figures saluted the High Priest and Regis Aldrick.

"King Bomas, King Avas."

Upon hearing their names, two legendary Black Orcs came before Regis Aldrick.

"Dunsinbi, Nonter, Buheita."

Three Legendary Low-Rank Black Orcs came behind King Bomas and King Avas, saluted the High Priest on the altar, and then waited for orders.

"…I will be the commander of the Southern Army, appointing King Bomas and King Avas as the deputy commanders of the Southern Army, and Dunsinbi, Nonter, and Buheita as marshals, to command 180,000 legion warriors to march south to attack the Holy Shia Kingdom, using the blood of traitors to prove our faith to myself."

"Yes."

With the army divisions completed, Regis Aldrick turned to face High Priest Aldrick and saluted, "Please give your instructions."

Upon hearing this, High Priest Aldrick grasped the scepter made from the skull of a legendary creature with both hands and cast the shamanic spell [Beast Soul Protection].

Crimson light enveloped the 300,000 Black Orc legion warriors, and beast souls emerged, flying into their souls, enhancing their power, and, if necessary, dying in their place once.

After a moment, the crimson light dissipated, and High Priest Aldrick's power was largely depleted.

The 330,000 legion warriors, the lowest in strength being High Bronze Rank and the highest being High Soul Intent Rank, were the essence of the Coles United Kingdom.

"I watch over you and protect you."

"Depart."

Upon hearing this, Regis Aldrick pounded his chest in salute, then turned to face the army and said, "Divide the army."

In just two hours, the 300,000-strong army was divided into three parts, and under the leadership of their respective commanders, they marched towards the borders of the Belfast Kingdom, the Dawn Principality, and the Holy Shia Kingdom.
