The autumn wind is bleak, and the northern geese fly south!
As the war continues, the season has entered late autumn, and animals storing food for the winter can be seen everywhere in the forest.
Downton led the light cavalry to advance, and the report of the capture of Elsingburg in the First World War came back, and the whole country celebrated in Delankfurt. It was a castle that had not fallen for hundreds of years, and it was one of the most symbolic buildings in Samos.
But now, it has surrendered under the iron heel of the Duke of Downton!
After the first war mobilization order was issued, although no deserters appeared, the recruitment efficiency was average. Until the news of this battle came back, all the soldiers couldn't wait to go to the battlefield, even those old men and those who were not under the mobilization order.
Young people also ran to recruitment points in various places, clamoring to join the army.
You can tell whether a country is strong or not by looking at the attitude of its citizens. The boiling of war is a sign of its rise.
The Songen people did not have a strong idea of joining the army. They always believed that Downton's last victory was a temporary fluke and that Samos would definitely come back. However, since the news came back, the number of people joining the army has increased immediately.
The feelings of the Red Scarf Army were the most complicated. As traitors, they naturally did not want to see Samos win and then liquidate them, but after all, it was their motherland, and everyone felt uncomfortable watching it being constantly defeated.
"No matter what, at least you can't run away, work hard to kill the enemy, and earn a meal for your family!"
The Red Scarf Army will also compare. Even with the national strength of Samosa, it is normal to exploit and lose. There is no way. A kingdom with a thousand years of history cannot avoid those old bad habits, but the Delankfurt Army will not, any supplies and
Not only were military expenditures paid on time, even if the soldiers did not dare to report, the inspection team would always wander around to detect any deductions. The first time they were whipped, the corrupt generals were demoted to slaves, and the second time they were hanged directly!
The officers here are still strict, but they no longer dare to treat soldiers as slaves, beating, scolding and using them wantonly, because this is clearly stipulated in military regulations.
In the Downton Army, the Red Scarf Army experienced what respect is, and for the first time they felt that they were human beings. A sense of belonging gradually grew.
It is said that before the troops and horses are moved, food and grass must go first. To maintain the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line, huge military expenditures are spent every day.
Downton made a promise to be tax-free for three years. No matter how difficult it is, he cannot go back on it, but the current reserves can still last for another year.
Not to mention Downton's huge treasury, simply conquering the Principality of Sogn completely was a huge harvest. Its wartime reserves were all advantageous to him, and if the war went unfavorably and reached a stalemate, the first to be unlucky would be
He is also a Songen person.
Of course, food and soldiers were recruited from these areas, and they encountered vicious commanders. They even forced women to be sent to the military camps, but Downton had already issued strict orders. Not only the women of Song En, but also the women in the imperial war zones.
Inside, if a soldier commits violence, he will be directly demoted to a slave without even having to go to a military court.
This was done not only because Downton was kind-hearted and had a bottom line as a human being, but also because what he wanted was the territory and population of this country. Once the trauma was too severe, it might take hundreds of years or several generations to ease the relationship.
Abagon and his goblin subordinates managed everything in an orderly manner, so Downton didn't have to worry about logistics.
It can be said that the ones who have made the greatest contribution to this battle so far are not the drow rangers or the hilly natives, but the goblins. They used the knowledge they learned to make the entire Delankfurt logistics system like a sophisticated machine.
It seems to be operating.
Sometimes I think about it, Downton is also proud of his original decision to accept Abagon and redeem the goblins. This unintentional move brought huge rewards.
There are no useless races in this world, only useless kings. Downton turned the goblins into treasures and discovered their potential, which has stunned the ruling class of the entire continent. Many forces have sent businessmen to Lombardy, ready to redeem them.
Some goblins.
The autumn rain is slightly cool, soaking the skin!
After wiping the rain off his face, Downton stood on the top floor of the mage tower, overlooking the castle that had been burning for two days and was still emitting thick smoke. Downton didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He never thought that the enemy would abandon the city and flee.
"I would have known better and would not have set fire to it. The supplies of hundreds of thousands of troops were just burned to the ground!"
Downton was extremely distressed. Although he had ordered to put out the fire, he still had to send troops to chase the remaining soldiers, and there were not many people available.
Homer built a magic circle and cast a large-scale heavy rain spell, which finally prevented this grand pass from completely turning into ruins.
"Be content, if you don't set fire to it, you won't be able to take it down!"
Homer comforted him, there is no perfect good thing in this world, as long as the war is won, it is the greatest gain!
"I know!"
Downton just sighed.
"Have you really decided to implement that plan? If it fails, you can still leave on the Ancient Spear, but if these soldiers are surrounded, they will be dead!"
Homer reiterated.
"Yes, if we win this battle, those neighboring countries will definitely send troops to invade. By then, Samosa will be completely over!"
After seeing the terrain near the castle mapped out by scouts and airmen, Downton made a bold plan.
The country still has a long way to go, and Downton doesn't want to exhaust the country's strength in one battle and spend decades recovering, so since he won't be able to occupy Samosa, he might as well give it out generously.
The Second Emperor sent someone privately, saying that they could provide supplies and even military assistance, but any help was not free, so Downton refused.
When the Second Emperor heard the envoy's reply, he was not angry. Instead, he glanced at Downton. If he was willing to make such a decision, he would definitely achieve something great.
"Then put aside other things first and absorb the sixth level of the Titan Finger Bone Impact Scepter as soon as possible. After this battle, Samosai will probably send out high-end combat power to snipe you. The more strength you have, the more protection you will have!"
Homer is very worried that everything in Frankfort is based on Downton's prestige. Once he dies, the country will collapse immediately.
"Um!"
Downton did not leave the castle, but rushed to the ruined square, asked the guards to leave, and called the Bone Dragon and the Twin Angels to take charge of the watch. He sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate.
Homer took out Taita's phalanx and placed it in front of Downton.
As the meditation entered a deep state, the two fruits produced by the twin soul trees rotated and overflowed with a large amount of soul power. They transformed into soul angels. After a while, there were more than two thousand of them, spread across the square.
These fist-sized angels exuding a holy aura are like elemental elves, with their wings spread out, arms folded across their chests, and singing ethereal and melodious chants.
"Turn your will into flames, burn soul power as fuel, ignite the Titan's finger bones, activate its power, and then absorb it!"
Seeing that preparations were complete, Homer woke Downton.
Will is ethereal, but it does exist. It is an existence between energy and non-energy. Downton, as a scepter, does not yet understand how to mobilize will, but he knows that as long as he has an urgent desire, he can maximize his power.
The will to improve.
"Let it burn!"
Downton's soul is screaming.
boom!
There was an explosion, and Titan's finger bones were instantly engulfed by orange-red flames. It was so blazing, so hot, and they burned as if they were going to burn the world!
"I am Dipolo!"
The usually calm Cheap God couldn't help but curse when he saw this scene, "Am I right? His words just now actually had a ray of law effect?"
The history is unknown, but it is generally said that it was the ancient Titans who opened up the Western Continent and built this world. They are known as the Lords of Creation and the Ancient Gods.
The bodies of Titans are condensed from all kinds of elements of heaven and earth, and are connected by the laws of the world. Their will is supreme, their souls are unparalleled, and they are the most powerful existences in this plane.
Even though it was just a small finger bone, it had even been weathered by the sand and stones of the years for tens of billions of years. However, the cheap god speculated that with Downton's soul power, it would probably take several days to ignite it. However, he did not expect that in just a moment, it would ignite.
It worked.
"Yeah, but it's not a complete divine word. It should have been spoken unconsciously!"
Homer lamented that it was really thanks to Queen Rose that Downton's divine words were incomplete, but their power was not weak.
"Is this the skeleton of the ancient Titan?"
Even if they are angels from a higher plane, the twins have never seen this phalanx, but with their keen souls, they can sense a vague will from it, majestic, domineering, and supreme, which makes them endure it.
I couldn't help but tremble.
"If it were still alive, how powerful would it be?"
Edith was speechless. She probably couldn't even defeat the Seraph Archangel at full power.
The fire of the soul was ignited, and then it incinerated the Titan's finger bones, swallowing the laws of the world, the elements of heaven and earth, and the energy of the Titan that it separated to temper itself.
The chants of the Soul Angel became louder and louder, and the surging soul power surged toward the Titan's knuckles like a tsunami, but it was like a black hole, swallowing everything.
The entire square was already overflowing with holy white light, making it difficult for people to look directly at it. The soul power formed a vortex near the finger bones, and then grew larger and larger, gradually turning into a tornado shape.
Some masonry began to blow away.
The fire of the soul is getting weaker and weaker, as if a blow from the autumnal equinox can blow it out.
"Oops, we are too impatient. Downton's soul power is not enough, and his energy level is not high enough!"
Seeing Downton sweating on his forehead and looking pale, Homer blamed himself. The improvement of the level of a magic user is not a simple numerical change, but a change in the form of energy, which includes the soul, will, and even the body.
.
Why does life expectancy increase after reaching the Dragon Slayer level? It’s because the body’s internal organs are gradually strengthening. A peerless strong man above the legend can cut off his limbs and regenerate at will. As long as his soul is intact, he can remain immortal!
"Think of a way quickly, his soul is weakening!"
Fiona's expression changed and she screamed, causing even the firebird to fly out of Downton's body.
The Titan Fingerbone is an ancient divine object, not something that mortals can covet. Downton can't cut off his soul power now even if he wants to. In a few minutes, he will be squeezed into a mummy and weathered in the air. (To be continued.)
