The West Spring Fortress, with its towering walls stretching over a hundred kilometers and standing five meters high, was built from thick, hard rock.
But now, the once impregnable walls had been toppled. Groups of Barbarian Warriors, riding fierce beasts, surged over the fallen ramparts and charged into the human world.
Compared to them, ordinary humans seemed like children next to adults, a stark contrast in height and size.
They rode massive wolves with blood-red fur, each beast measuring over four meters long, larger and more imposing than a Siberian Tiger. Their Blood-Red Maw could easily snap a warhorse's throat in one bite.
Inside the West Spring Fortress, chaos reigned. Groups of Barbarian Warriors stormed into the residential areas of the fortress, slaughtering hundreds and thousands of soldiers and civilians alike.
Even worse, they were looting women and children, binding them to their mounts as trophies of war.
On the back of a giant Blood Wolf with two horns sat a massive Barbarian, over three meters tall. He wielded a black bone knife and wore a necklace made of beast bones around his neck.
His upper body was bare, while his lower half was wrapped in fur. He gazed at the distant scene of burning and killing without joining in.
At that moment, another giant Barbarian on a black wolf approached him with a hint of confusion. "Kuch, aren't you Blood Wolf Clan warriors participating in this hunt?"
The burly Barbarian Warrior named Kuch glanced at the mother and child captured by the other warrior and snorted coldly. "Our enemies should be armed warriors, not these women holding infants!"
"Kuch, this is the High Priest's order! We must massacre all humans without leaving any survivors to avenge the blood feud for the millions of our kin they slaughtered!" the Black Wolf Warrior grinned.
Kuch turned away. "You go ahead; I will focus on massacring those who dare to resist."
"Haha, as expected of the Blood Wolf Chieftain, so committed to the honor of traditional warriors. Surely there will be formidable warriors on this land who can match you; just don't die in battle!" The Black Wolf Warrior laughed heartily before turning his mount away.
"To die on the battlefield is the ultimate honor for us warriors!" Kuch replied coldly.
He too mounted his steed and galloped toward the core area of the legion, where the High Priest was located.
As one of the ten major clans among Barbarians, the Blood Wolf Clan boasted two hundred thousand members. This time, two-thirds of their warriors had come for the raid, amounting to one-fifth of their total population, leaving only a portion behind to protect the elderly and children.
This campaign mobilized most of the Barbarians' strength to form a super legion nearing one million in number. Their targets were not just Farn County but also all surrounding human cities that lay in their path for plunder and slaughter!
Kuch looked at the increasingly massive High Priest with some concern. "High Priest, isn't this operation going too smoothly? I can't shake off this feeling of unease!"
He hadn't forgotten that during the ten-year war, the Human Legion had pursued them for thousands of miles, annihilating one tribe after another in a massacre, only leaving the Wogul Wasteland after their supplies ran out.
In that battle, the Death Barbarians numbered over a million and had shaken the very foundations of the Barbarians.
Yet now, merely ten years later, the Barbarians had reassembled their legions. The High Priest, wielding the power of their ancestors, had summoned many tribes from the Depths of the Wasteland to form such a vast army, vowing to go to war with the Empire!
Perhaps due to the sheer size of their legion, they had traversed the Twilight Forest without suffering significant losses.
It was known that the Twilight Forest was an absolute forbidden zone, having swallowed countless lives. But as they passed through, not even mythical creatures appeared, and various poisonous insects and snakes were hard to find.
This could only be attributed to the protection of their ancestors and the mysterious powers wielded by the High Priest and others.
The fall of West Spring Fortress was even more absurd; they faced no substantial resistance and encountered none of the city defense weapons commonly used by humans.
In the last war, humans possessed terrifying siege crossbows that could pierce through several of the fiercest warriors with a single shot. Hundreds or even thousands were set up on a single wall, causing heavy casualties for the Barbarians without allowing them to capture Storm Harbor!
The High Priest's white hair had been braided into strands, and a necklace made of white bones around his neck emitted a faint glow. In his hand was a staff as black as ink, topped with a human skull embedded with two large purple gemstones in its eye sockets.
The High Priest's voice was steady and powerful. "Blood Wolf Chieftain, your worries are unfounded. Under the protection of our ancestors, we shall be invincible in battle!"
"Yes, High Priest!" Kuch replied with his head bowed.
The High Priest commanded the power of their ancestors and could summon legendary creatures. The Three-Headed Thunderquake Beast that had cleared their path was one such summon, possessing terrifying strength capable of crushing thick trees!
However, he glanced at the three slender figures behind the High Priest. These figures were cloaked in black robes, obscuring their faces.
From their physique, they seemed no different from humans; however, they were enveloped in an aura of terror that made even Kuch, the mightiest Barbarian Warrior, feel a sense of deadly danger.
Kuch buried this suspicion deep within himself and refrained from voicing it. He realized that this war was not merely an act of revenge; it likely involved other motives as well.
But he didn't mind. After ten years of recuperation, the Blood Wolf Tribe had regained its prosperity, and an excess population required more food.
The Wogul Wasteland could not grow crops, and the Barbarians could only survive by herding livestock, but the sheep could not satisfy all their consumption.
Therefore, even if it wasn't for revenge, they had to wage war to plunder enough food.
Or perhaps, to reduce their excessive population!
Driving them from fertile lands all the way to the desolate wasteland was their most bitter enemy!
Woo!!!
The mournful and prolonged sound of a horn echoed as hundreds of thousands of Barbarian Army gathered on the plains southwest of Storm Harbor. Elite Cavalry units and massive war beasts formed a torrent of troops charging toward the human formations.
At this moment, the Human Legion did not choose to close the city for defense; instead, they organized their own legion and fiercely charged against the Barbarian Army.
This legion was the same one that had previously massacred countless Barbarians, composed of the most elite warriors who had survived numerous battles, representing the finest defense line in the southwestern part of the empire.
Most strikingly, leading the charge at the front of the Human Legion were Iron Behemoths belching white smoke.
These Iron Behemoths rumbled forward, crushing each Barbarian Cavalry unit that stood in their way, instantly turning this place into a slaughterhouse!
