In the early morning, the starry sky shines in the west, and a scarlet halo is revealed in the foggy morning light, illuminating the world and presenting its most realistic and terrifying side to all observers.
That is the battlefield after the battle.
After a night of precipitation, the brightest red blood had turned into black dust and mud, overlapping with broken weapons and armor, broken flags and the bodies of the dead, and in the morning light, they formed.
Extraordinary and quiet, doomsday and dusk-like scenes...
The team that won the battlefield has already completed their work, and no one will give extra mercy to the bodies of the losers. The desolate battlefield is destined to be the cemetery of the losers, and the lonely wild wolf walking there is
The guests and friends at the funeral of the loser, and the group of crows are the hosts of the ceremony. They jump on the corpse and twist the freshest and most plump meal with their hard beaks. They will naturally give them a few words of complacent and fulfilled.
, the tomb song sounds like a tomb.
The failure of the empire may have been destined.
The three imperial electoral legions that should be relied on were attracted to another place... The only remaining advantage of the imperial people on the front battlefield was that they had nearly 10,000 more soldiers than their opponents.
Of course, the commanders of the imperial people would not be frustrated because they believed that they had at least a quality advantage. Although the Linlulan family has always been on the edge of the great noble circle in Illyria, they are also
The great nobles who have accumulated over hundreds of years have not yet developed sufficiently even due to the horse's production capacity. However, the infantry's equipment and training have their own unique traditions. This is why they can be in the barbarians.
After the Erdu family emerged,
Moreover, the former opponent has now become an ally, and the three thousand heavy-armed knights of the Urdu family have added a thick protective layer like heavy armor.
Unfortunately, they didn't know that in just two days, their opponents were quietly accumulating strength. A national mage with more than a hundred people quietly returned from the direction of Cuifandi City. They joined the army—
—After all, other bad news was spreading into the Emperor's camp one by one, attracting all their nerves.
Starting from Cui Fandi, several cities have changed their flags and changed their flags one after another, indicating that the entire Duke of Linlulan has completely entered chaos. Even half of the territory of the adjacent Urdu family was in chaos. The possibility of the supply line being cut off is like
A lump of lead was like a crush on the hearts of the imperial people, forcing them to start a battle as soon as possible, and use victory to exchange for stability in the morale of the army.
And Tuminis seemed to give them a chance.
At this critical moment, they took the lead in breaking the original stalemate and left the battlefield that was more favorable to them. They advanced thirty miles to the east of the empire, and re-camped in the Machenle Mountains, and the generals were in power.
The plains of the foothills were fully unfolded and an attacking formation was made.
This action undoubtedly made the empire ecstatic.
Although the name of Maqinle Mountain contains the word mountain, it is actually just outside the Mango Basin. A large hill less than 200 feet, two hills, one tall and one short, form a piece at the foot of the mountain.
The short and flat slopes have a little terrain advantage over the Tuminis who are moving eastward, but they are far less than the original condescending battlefield.
So, the Imperials almost immediately made the decision to fight.
The beginning of the war is not much different from the pattern that has lasted for hundreds of years. When the sun drove away the morning mist, the two sides arranged their soldiers on the battlefield... The forward, the left and right wings were slowly moving.
Going forward slowly, first detecting the Ranger's battle, then the forward.
The only difference is that when the temptation began, the Empire had noticed that the Tuminisians set up a large illusion in front of the right wing of the north of the front, on a small hill, and
Not profound or even a bit crude, but the only function is to make the thousands of peasant soldiers they accompany them look like they become elite soldiers.
Or, this is a good way to boost your morale, which can make the difference between the two sides seem to have no obvious difference. Unfortunately, that kind of thing has no deception to any spellcaster - it doesn't even need to be used.
As aided by magic, a discerning person can notice the false light and the faces of almost identical soldiers.
So this seemingly self-deception tactic naturally attracted ridicule from the empire... Even the Count Nixon, who is in charge of the Imperial coalition command and is always known for his prudence, did not pay special attention to this intelligence, and the direction of the hills will not be skilled.
The Emperor of Cavalry War was chosen as the main target, so what he paid more attention to was the heavy-armed knights placed on the other side of Tuminis, which was the integration of their two largest territories, Blake and Reit
The majority of the military forces of Ge and the other three small territories were pieced together to form their most elite main cavalry.
Another glorious news that came before the war was that the Black Hawk family did not send their famous Giant Eagle Knight to the battle. It is rumored that it was the head of the Blake family, who had just taken charge of the picture.
His Highness, the prince of Minnis, had some friction, so he refused to participate in the war with certain reasons.
This news made the empire side, especially the commander-in-chief Earl Nixon, particularly - after all, this not only means that he does not need to deal with those terrible special forces that are best at sneak attacking opponents' command groups, but also means that the opponent's main force
Cavalry will have very big loopholes in combat intention, cooperation and even combat methods.
This is the best opportunity to become famous in one battle and be famous in history... After careful consideration, the commander decided to place all the cavalry on his right wing, striving to face the opponent head-on, and quoting more than half of their combat mages and
One thousand archers are here to ensure the advantage of this knight battle.
Even if the magic is so powerful, on this iron and blood battlefield, the main body of the war is still the cavalry. If you control the cavalry, it is equivalent to controlling the war...
The subsequent battle situation did not exceed the commander's expectations.
Some situations even happened very quickly, after half an hourglass after the battle began.
Under the fierce attack of the Imperial Knights, the entire Tuminis Legion's left wing began to retract and retreat. Urdu's capital invested in the family cavalry was rewarded. Even though the magic blessings obtained were inferior to those of the opponent, they were in the first two rounds.
After the charge, it caused twice the damage to the opponent! The loss also caused the Tuminis knights to be frustrated and confusing. The problems of cooperation and fighting spirit were highlighted. Four thousand knights had to charge at the three thousand knights.
Go down and back!
So the balance of war began to tilt to one end.
The enemy's retreat greatly increased the morale of the empire. But it also increased their pride... When Tuminis' heavy cavalry began to retreat, the Urdu family knights immediately began a round of defeat without waiting for the command of the central army, and
Tuminis' left wing was simply vulnerable at this time and kept retreating. Finally, the steps of these knights were approaching the storm! Even the central army began to fluctuate. The formation began to shatter! If the mage had not started to bombard the Tour de France at this time.
The Empire Formation. Then the battle situation has almost entered a complete collapse.
But is this really the case?
In fact, the changes come extremely rapidly.
The retreat of Tuminis' left wing and the coordination of the Central Army made the entire army start to rotate. The entire battlefield has been completely affected, but the side that neither side has been arranged - Tuminis' right wing and the left wing of the empire are still in stalemate.
So unknowingly, the entire battlefield had tilted, and the army of the two countries was like a fierce snake duel between two ends. They entangled every inch and every minute of themselves, trying to suppress the opponent's head and end the war
.
However, the Tuminis snake showed another head at this time.
The peasant soldiers arranged on the left wing moved, and they actually started to charge. Countless arrows were excited from several trailers among them like heavy rain! And the more than a hundred Tuminis mages hidden among them finally came to an end.
Suddenly, the large-scale poison cloud technique was activated by the wind creation technique, and the left wing of the empire, which was opposite, suddenly suffered heavy losses!
The joining of this new force caused disaster for the imperial people. When they finally mobilized the mage to completely blow away the terrifying poisonous cloud, they found that the enemy was no longer the left wing... advancing and retreating,
The rotating army sent them to the back of the Emperor**.
After resting, the Tuminis cavalry had already detoured to the emperor's flank that almost turned the battle behind him. The joining of these three thousand soldiers turned the battle into a massacre. Within just one and a half hourglass, the empire had already
The army was defeated, with nearly three thousand casualties! Nearly five thousand captured people, and even Duke Lin Lulan, one of the leaders of the coalition forces, was captured, and Count Nixon was killed in battle. The entire Lin Lulan family territory was basically occupied.
"... and our losses were only six hundred and thirty-three knights and one thousand three hundred and seventy-six soldiers killed, and more than two thousand three hundred injured."
He let out a heavy breath as the end of his sentence. Little Count Ryan frowned, and his little face was already red... Although the process of this battle was not complicated, he wanted to make it simple and concise, but
It is not easy for such a teenage child to describe it clearly and in detail, especially to say that it is less than a mile from the gate of the camp to the middle.
over.
But the guy who asked him so wouldn't feel any guilty about it - the psychic warlock didn't even achieve the necessary concentration for a qualified listener, when the little Count described the hidden mage and crossbow cart appearing
, His eyes were already distracted, and he didn't know where he was distracted.
After all, this victory was indeed a bit unexpected, but it was somewhat reasonable.
If after he created so many favorable conditions, these generals of Tuminis, plus the mage who planned all this behind him, and others, could not make a beautiful victory, then Edward would probably not have a beautiful victory.
Everyone has to consider whether they should betray these pig teammates and command the country by themselves.
"Hey...that, well, dear Viscount, what kind of brilliant achievements have you achieved in the past few days?"
The casual performance of the psychic warlock made Miss Ryan roll her eyes very unlady... In fact, if it weren't for a large group of people around her, she would have to take care of her younger brother's identity as an earl, and the prince's military tent was already close to her.
She had already grabbed the hateful guy's collar and let him understand what true etiquette was.
Of course, given the absolute strength gap between the two, this kind of thing can only exist in the delusion of the young lady. So after changing the subject, she simply started to provoke a verbal confrontation with malicious intentions:
I don't seem to have all of your subordinates back. I remember you took out three thousand soldiers, right?"
"Well... the battle is half damaged." Edward responded absent-mindedly, then frowned.
This time, his losses can be said to be quite heavy. The soldiers originally planned to be taken over by him actually lost more than half of them - most of them were consumed in the battle against the Ice Wind Demon Bear, but the ** teacher's magic,
But it was undoubtedly a bit painful. After all, the remaining guys had already been given the ability of the Emperor's electoral lord by him. That kind of gift consumed Edward's power... although that power came from
King Power, but Edward knew that the only one who could promote such an effect was probably the only one he had absorbed in the previous battles.
Although the corresponding gains were indeed quite a lot - most of them were left by the master. They included a full scroll box, a few magic props, a staff, a robe, two magic books, and that one.
The floating platform...but the most important gain among them is the strange changes caused by the power of Isgandal.
Unfortunately, the harvest is not necessarily good...
For example, when he touched the emperor's election, the voice he felt - the agreement with the Fei Yan Knight was just a two-sided stop, so the night of his journey left him still not inquiring about the symbol representative
What. The only thing more certain is that this power definitely does not belong to a kind force - no kind god can be born with four corners, let alone use darkness and flame as symbols.
Maybe it is an existence like an evil demon... If it is related to the fact that that guy can give these nine kinds of power, I'm afraid that ordinary evil demons cannot accurately summarize this existence, and maybe a word 'big' is added.
Only do it.
But there are also many famous evil demons.
Maybe the rest was too poor, so the idea was a little difficult to concentrate. He thought about these things randomly until the ritual officer at the door sang his name, he realized a little and led a group of people into the tent.
What happened next was not good.
"... Then, keep the Lord Baron, and the original fiefs and subjects, and add an additional title to the title..." Prince Stran's eyes flashed with joy: "As for Edward, your achievements are outstanding
But for a moment, I could not think of any reward I should give you. Let's do this, and I will be promoted to Earl first..."
The six city lords, including the Marquis, swore allegiance to Tuminis. This achievement made the prince overjoyed, but for a moment, it seemed difficult for him to decide what appropriate reward to Edward.
Being able to verbally raise his title two levels - this is probably the highest decision he can make without asking for instructions.
But what's interesting is that this decision is still with the Minnis who are here... The psychic warlock keenly captures many unhappiness in it.
Obviously, in the eyes of these people, what he did was nothing more than just taking advantage of the main force's battle with the enemy's army and running behind the enemy to harass the enemy. It was not a credit, even if it was brought back.
After several teams of imperial prisoners, most of them were empty because of excessive recruitment in the rear of the empire, and they picked up the advantage.
Moreover, battles such as siege are definitely much larger than field battles. Even if you defeat the main force of the empire, the rewards you get from ordinary soldiers are just some military merits and a few gold coins. Where can you run into the enemy's territory?
What's more hateful is that once these lords surrender, they become their colleagues. It is completely impossible to harass and do anything else.
Such ideas do not require any guidance. Jealousy is already their best catalyst. Between mind or not, there may be rumors spreading?
But Edward was too lazy to care.
The reason why he met with the main force of the army was just because he needed enough healers to take some rest of the damage to his team and to take the army at the same time. And next, he might have to act alone for a period of time, and now he has not teleported magic help, he wants to
It is not realistic to send this unit back to the territory. It can only be temporarily merged with the large team and then consider slowly transporting it back.
Now, he no longer has any interest in fighting for these so-called merits - he does not want to become a guardian prince, and ordinary human power cannot provide much help to his battle, so in the battle between humans, he
There is no longer much interest in participating in it, and what needs to be cared about now is the battle against a god.
