Chapter 75: Snare

Black smoke enveloped the land of the Danube Principality like a demon, and countless houses were burned. The Kuanglong soldiers deliberately covered the fire with those green and succulent tree branches, making the smoke even thicker, as if they were ugly. The caterpillars were biting the sky as pure as blue crystal wantonly. The people of the Danube Principality looked at their homes being burnt down with ashen faces. The middle-aged men clenched their fists tightly, but In front of the neat queue of the mad dragon soldiers and the forest of swords and guns, they did not dare to act rashly; the girls huddled timidly behind their parents, looking at the mad dragons holding torches with the eyes of a lamb peeping at a liger. Soldier.

After Kalub killed more than 600 archers led by Sauter, Sauter wisely chose to surrender. He and his remaining subordinates were imprisoned in the Blue Water Castle, while Kalub led the remaining The soldiers of the Mad Dragon Legion all crossed the Bama Canal within three days and joined Lei's former army. The 180,000 troops ignored the tax collectors and other nobles hiding in the castle, and just moved the towns outside the castle and The villages were looted, and even the villagers' seeds, cattle and other supplies were taken away.

For four consecutive days, black smoke enveloped most of the villages and towns in the Danube Principality. Under the joint action of 180,000 Mad Dragon Legion and 170,000 Jaguar Legion, no village escaped the fate of being ravaged and looted. For four days, During the looting, thirty-seven Jaguar soldiers and twenty-nine Mad Dragon soldiers were beheaded in public because they hid some money and had evil thoughts about several beautiful ladies. Lei's order It is very clear: "Anyone who dares to harass the people privately will be cut off."

One hundred and seventy thousand Jaguars, this is all the troops received by the officers sent by Lei. The other 130,000 troops seemed to have just disappeared. Everyone knew that they were probably all killed because of Bicart. The coalition forces were surrounded and annihilated, but no one wanted to believe this. Although the 130,000 elite soldiers who had gone through extremely arduous training lacked some combat experience, they should not be what the alliance of the three principalities could defeat. It fell.

Lei stood on a small earthen bag, crushed a thick tree trunk with his big hands, and said in a deep voice: "Damn Bikater...Have you sent someone to the imperial capital to inform about this matter?"

Lomat, who looked weak, gently shook the blond hair on his forehead, looked at the burning village in front of him, and the dull-faced villagers, and said slowly: "Yes, sir, the security department has been sent to us. The spies in the army went to inform Your Majesty. I asked them to report it to the military headquarters secretly. After all, if this matter spreads, it will be a fatal blow to the national prestige and military power of our Fante Empire. Even except for the Jaguar Legion and our Central Senior generals, no one knows about Bikart's rebellion."

Lei licked the corners of his dry mouth, grabbed a skin bag and poured a sip of water. Letting the water droplets drip down his smooth breastplate, he let out a long sigh and said: "If you do it well, you really can't let too many people go." People know this. Humph, back to the imperial capital, Bikart must pay the price for what he has done... Karub, send someone to contact Master Crete and ask him to lead the army to approach the capital of the Principality of Fort Carson. , but don’t occupy him, I want to see if Rockart, this damn Carson Tiger can sit back and watch his nest be wiped out.”

Karub nodded silently and strode away. Lomat looked around a hundred feet in front of him. Two resisting villagers were beaten to the ground by the hilts of knives. He sighed: "Sir, our spies found that than

Meng's army of 150,000 has gathered at the Purple Gold Castle, should we mobilize the army to eat him first and then search for the armies of Rockart and the others?"

Lei waved his hand and shook his head heavily and said: "No, absolutely not. I believe that even if the coalition forces led by Rockart and Inger killed 130,000 Jaguar soldiers because of Bikart's conspiracy, their losses must be huge. They are sure

There are many wounded people in the queue, and their strength is already very weak. We must eat them first, and then deal with that stupid Behemoth. After we eat Rockart, we are not afraid that Behemoth will not come out and fight.

Let's fight to the death. Hum, I have no interest in letting my soldiers attack a castle garrisoned by 150,000 troops, even if those troops are just rubbish soldiers."

Lei paused and said firmly: "Finding Rockart and Inger, our main target is them. After we eat them, will Beamon's army still have morale? I don't believe that at that time, Beamon will

You can still stay in the Purple Gold Castle. Yasuo, Mis, you lead 50,000 mad dragon soldiers and station near the Purple Gold Castle to intimidate Behemoth’s army. If his troops dare to leave the city, annihilate them, but I will never

You are allowed to attack their castle, do you understand?"

Yasuo, the excited leader of Mis, hurried away with his generals. Lei looked at the fireworks-filled village in front of him and suddenly sneered: "If Rockart and the others can endure the Danube Principality being ravaged by us, then

, let me see if they can still stay in the mountains when the Principality of Fort Carson is also covered in smoke. I sent an order to Crete, asking him to be the same soldiers as we are when possible, and spread the word.

, asking Rockart and the others to either surrender or come out for a decisive battle... Well, remind Crete, maybe he can go see if Rockart's relatives are still in Greenleaf Castle."

Several messengers got on their horses and hurried away. Lei looked at the village in front of him that was almost burned to the ground, looked at the tearful faces of the people, gritted his teeth, and punched to break them.

After grabbing an oak tree, he led the army and continued to move forward amidst the loud noise of the giant tree falling to the ground.

In a mountainous area covered with dense ravines, the blood-stained Inger stared blankly at the black smoke covering half of the sky in the north, and suddenly cursed angrily: "These damn Vant people, what do they want to do, they

Do you want to kill all our people? Damn it, damn it, Rockart, let’s, let’s rush out and fight them.”

Rockart wiped his spear heavily and shouted angrily: "Inger, where are your calmness and your resourcefulness? We only have more than 50,000 remaining soldiers, including more than 20,000 wounded soldiers.

How to fight them? Wait, wait calmly, do you understand? I believe that the losses of their Jaguar Legion have been reported to their emperor. We only need to wait for orders from their imperial capital. Don't forget, we have not arranged for spies to be here

Are rumors spreading in their imperial capital? As long as their people know that their army commanders have surrendered to us, and let them understand that we are still capable of causing them greater losses, what else can they do except retreat?"

Rockart's spear swung up and passed over the head of the defeated Bikart, and suddenly smiled: "Lord Bikart, what do you think? I'm sorry, we don't have the ability to meet your request. You asked for it. We killed all the Jaguar Legion soldiers, but we are not strong enough. Therefore, we can only retain our principality by betraying you. Hmm? You won't be angry, right?"

Bikater jumped up crazily and howled desperately: "You bastards, you..."

The sharp sword energy from 'God of Slaughter' forced Bicart to swallow his words. Inger said coldly: "Anyway, you are still alive now, aren't you? You are our enemy, we don't need to consider one." The enemy's life and death, so you should try to find a way to live well with us now, or dear, the noble Lord Bikart wants to suffer a little more before he dies? I will be happy to help."

The sword energy shot out fifty feet, piercing a deep hole in the nearby cliff as hard as an iron plate. Bicart shivered and sat on the ground weakly. Inger looked at it coldly. Picart sighed and said: "This is the only way, Rockart, my old friend, this is the only way we can do it. In the territories of the three principalities, we have to fight for a protracted war. We have to delay time. As long as we can delay, we may be able to force them to retreat."

Rocart smiled dryly: "Yes, according to what our commander of the Bicart Army said, the Vant Empire wants to use our three principalities to train troops, and their ultimate goal is the entire continent. If we can survive and retain a certain If they delay a group of their troops here, then they can only sue for peace with us. Time is the most powerful weapon we use to deal with them. The public anger within their empire is what we use to deal with them. Their strongest shield, hum."

Inger looked at the smoke-filled sky and suddenly sighed: "Then, we have to retreat and leave the land of the Danube Principality. If a large number of troops from the Mad Dragon Legion come here, then the territory of Fort Carson , it can give us more space for activities. If we can take the opportunity to eat a few small troops of the Mad Dragon Legion, it will have a greater impact on the heart of Emperor Fante, right?"

Rockart nodded slowly, and stood up gloomily: "Yes, this is our only choice. We must continue to fight, but not now, but after we recover a certain amount of strength. Fort Carson I am very familiar with every inch of this land. Let me figure it out. I will make them understand that invading our territory is their biggest mistake... Send someone to notify Beamon and ask him to cooperate with our actions and abandon his batch. Useless new army, lead the elite to retreat."

Ying Geer added viciously to the soldiers wearing local mountain folk costumes: "Ask Beamon to order the new troops to take the initiative to attack the soldiers of the Mad Dragon Legion and cover their retreat. Those useless recruits , it can only be used for this purpose. Ask him to join us in the Dark Prison Forest of Fort Carson. If he finds the enemy's army there, he will go to the secret training camp in the Thor Mountains to find us. We need to work hard It’s time to renovate the army.”

Rockart nodded gently: "The situation is not too bad. Together we have about 90,000 elite troops. Ninety thousand people within the three principalities can allow us to march and attack at will.

..Bikat’s use value has been exhausted, and there will no longer be an opportunity to annihilate their legions on a large scale.” Rockart glanced at Bikart with extreme disdain. If it weren’t for his status being too high, Rockart would

I already want to throw away this useless piece of trash.

Quietly, before the arrival of the mountain-searching troops of the Mad Dragon Legion, more than 50,000 coalition soldiers retreated in the direction of the Principality of Fort Carson. As long as they crossed the Bama Canal along a few secret ferries that only they knew, they

You can enter the largest mountain forest area of ​​Fort Carson, where you can restore your strength, accumulate strength, and then give continuous blows to the Vant army.

Before the order from the Vante Imperial Capital was sent, the Vante Dukes, whose territory was close to the three principalities, had already dispatched the most powerful legions in their territories and began to occupy the three principalities. They seized the richest

towns, occupied the most fertile land, occupied the mines with the richest reserves, and began to recruit local people for production. Lei gave all the financial, living materials, and production materials that he had robbed to the leaders of these legions for them to use

These supplies threaten local people and force them to resume production.

Therefore, before Rokart and his army were annihilated, the entire Principality of Danube and Duke of Luke, and a small part of the Principality of Fort Carson, had begun to transport the rich local minerals to the Vant Empire, and countless wealth entered

into the hands of the lords of the Vante Empire.

In the 'Turquoise' Castle of the Dunau Principality, in the meeting hall of the city lord, the majestic swords and shield family emblems of the past have been trampled to the ground by the soldiers of the Mad Dragon Legion. What is now hanging is a golden one that symbolizes Lei's identity.

The shield has the heraldry of a black dragon with teeth and claws. Lei stood beside the sand table in the hall, and pointed at several mountain passes with the spear in his hand: "Behemoth's elite army has escaped, and he has taken his relatives with him.

Escaped, good, Lomart, I think you should understand what to do."

Lomat nodded: "Yes, sir, I have sent spies from the Security Department to spread rumors, saying that Beamon and the others have abandoned their people, and our action of burning the village was also because Beamon sent people to mix in."

The villagers launched an attack on us, and it was all the fault of Beamon and the others, and we were all forced to make such a decision."

Karub licked his lips, glanced at the sinisterly smiling Loma, and laughed strangely: "Loma, your methods are too vicious. We originally ordered the village to be burned down. Why are you doing so now?"

Are you putting it on their heads?"

Lei tilted his head, squatted down with his huge body, pointed his spear at the Bama Canal on the sand table, and said: "If we don't pass the responsibility to them, do we have to shoulder the blame ourselves? Hey, Lomat.

Well done, no matter what the rumor is, as long as it is repeated a hundred times, those people will believe that what we are telling is the truth... Look, I judge that they have crossed the Bama Canal and entered Fort Carson.

Territory, what do you think?"

Karub shook his head and scratched his forehead. He took a step back and pondered. Lomat quickly replied: "However, this is just our judgment. If we want to be sure that they have left for a long time,

Nau Principality, we must conduct a dragnet search of the entire Danube Principality, sir, what do you think?"

Lei was silent for a moment, and Karub stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "I think Rockart and the others are very smart people, and they won't wait stupidly for us to hunt them down. If I were them,

What we have to do now is to go to the place where our strength is most vulnerable, repair our army, and then launch a guerrilla war against us, delaying our troops in the territory of the Principality Alliance, and forcing our imperial capital to make a decision to withdraw... That Bikart

The bastard has fallen into their hands, so they know our intention of sending troops. Delaying time will be the most fatal blow to us."

The spear in Lei's hand gently struck a small mountain peak on the sand table. Gradually, the heavy spear shaft was shattered by the clay mountain peak. After letting out a long breath, Lei stood up.

, put the spear behind his back and took a few steps back and forth: "Well, I think a certain search is still necessary. But in the mountains and forests, it is impossible for our scouts to escape their sharpshooters.

Attack... Therefore, we need a steady and steady search method. Have the 20,000 soldiers who transported the baggage arrived? We now have a total of 370,000 troops, which can completely form a front across the territory of the Danube Principality.

And there is no need to fear their ambush. Within four days, I will confirm that they have left the Danube Principality."

Lomat sighed: "If that's the case, I don't know if Lord Crete can withstand their harassment attack."

Lei laughed: "If Crete were alone, he might not be a match for Rockart and the others, but don't forget Jerry. Jerry will not just sit back and watch our lively battle here. He will definitely come to join in the fun. Order

Crete will follow Jerry's instructions then. Ha, here I am forcing Rockart and the others to withdraw from the Danube Principality, and Jerry has conquered the entire Luke Principality. They can only fight us in Fort Carson.

Already."

Karub sighed: "I'm just afraid now. The loss of 130,000 Jaguars will have such a serious blow to our morale. I'm afraid the imperial capital will issue some orders that are not good for us in order to conquer the south.

.”

Lei said gloomily: "How could those soldiers know the losses of the Jaguar Legion? Even if they knew, what would it matter? Anyway, it is the Walters family who are unlucky. Hum, the morale of the soldiers, as long as it is used properly

, it was easy to pick it up... Damn it, I really want to see what kind of characters Rockart and Inger are, even if they are idiots than Carter, they can annihilate Thirteen with soldiers of that quality.

An army of ten thousand Jaguars, they are really powerful."

In the Principality of Luke, Jerry handed over the power of occupying the place to the Province of Carlos. After the private army sent by the two Dukes of the Province of Buban, he led his own army towards the Principality of Fort Carson.

He left 50,000 troops to assist the private armies in those two provinces to occupy the Principality of Luke. After all, the local people were likely to provoke and attack the garrison. Jerry did not trust the combat effectiveness of these private armies. At 250,000

After the army entered the Principality of Fort Carson, Jerry's army seemed to disappear and dispersed into the mountains and forests of the Principality of Fort Carson.

In the imperial capital of Vant, Military Minister Sidok received Lei's secret battle report, but he had other plans in mind. Together with Shax, he quietly killed the spies who sent the message and burned the secret report. Station

In his spacious and luxurious office, Sidok looked coldly at the solemn middle-aged man in front of him, and suddenly sighed: "Butters, my son, this is all for you...Bikater

That bastard caused 130,000 imperial warriors to die in the Principality of Danube. If this battle report is given to His Majesty, I'm afraid our army will have to withdraw... In order for you to successfully take over my position in the future, I must let us

After the army has completely conquered the Principality Alliance, send them back."

Butters, who looked resolute, bowed slightly: "Father, your decision is naturally correct... The two generals Ray and Jerry have a good relationship with our family. If they have made great contributions, than Carter, Walters,

If the idiot in the family is convicted, the power of the Walters family will be completely suppressed, right?"

Sidok smiled sinisterly: "Of course, this is natural. So, I can't let anyone know what happened to Bikart now, absolutely not. I can't let the Walters family prepare in advance. I

We want them to feel that Bikart is fighting bravely on the front line."

Butters smiled: "Then what we need to be careful about are the spies sent by the principality. If they leak these battle reports, the Walters family will definitely become suspicious, right? Father, Lord Shax will help

Are we busy? It is not an easy task to kill so many spies."

Sidok picked up a delicate crystal cup, took a sip of the water in the cup, and said lightly: "Shakes, you owe me a lot of favors, and he will handle this matter well. As for you,

When the time is right, I will send you to the southeast, and you can win over Ray and Jerry. Although I can control the old guys in the Knights Elders Association, they are the new ones on the imperial side now.

, you must win them over so that your status can be recognized in the future."
