Tie Lun's team walked back in silence. Although the knights were cursing in low voices, their morale was not as low as before.
The fire accumulated in the rugged mountain roads and annoying jungles made everyone hold a fire in their chests, wishing to see those Solan knights right now and tear them into pieces.
Tie Lun is happy to see this happen.
The army is a tool for killing. As a soldier, killing is your profession!
Appropriate anger will make knights more aggressive and ferocious, while also being able to ignore the impact of everything before.
Whether it's this damn mountain road or the setbacks suffered in this originally easy battle.
Tie Lun has never doubted the power of Fei Lie's empire.
This war will eventually end with the victory of the empire. Solan will become a name swept into the garbage dump of history, and this vast and fertile land will become the possession of Fei Lie Empire.
Countless imperial nobles will benefit from this war. Their territories will double and they will have more slaves and more wealth.
There are many more people who will become emerging nobles by virtue of their military exploits in war.
They will rule this land, become its masters, and use the food produced here to consolidate the foundation of Fei Lie's empire.
Yes, foundation! Tie Lun took a deep breath.
Few people know that the current Philip Empire is on the verge of collapse.
The Ferret Empire, which is located to the west of the Solan Empire, has 70% of its territory consisting of barren deserts and Gobis. The climate is also two extremes, either unbearably hot or extremely cold. In many places, except for Warcraft, there is no climate at all.
Suitable for human habitation.
Even the most adaptable barbarians, as well as the orcs who can happily eat rats, bugs and grass roots, cannot survive.
On the surface, Fei Lie's empire is fierce, with the largest army in the continent and world-famous cavalry.
However, no one knew that this country was already terminally ill.
The Land of Redemption is barren and cold. Hundreds of years ago, no one would have come here.
At that time, only the strongest humans used this place as a paradise for traveling, hunting monsters here and letting the harsh natural environment sharpen their will.
After the final battle, human beings were desperate and came to this place, which was countless times smaller than the God-given continent, and regarded it as their last refuge.
Relying on the Broken Sky Mountain Range, humans blocked the pursuit of the demons.
In order to survive, humans and monsters fight for every inch of land that can grow food.
No one knows how difficult it is. The food in the Land of Redemption can only be harvested once a year. And for this little food, which is only enough for subsistence, people must guard it carefully for nine months.
They fight against wind disasters, droughts, blizzards, and monsters.
day to day.
And in these long days, if one day encounters an irresistible disaster, then all the hard work will be in vain and all the previous efforts will be wasted.
No one has enough food to last until the third year.
Therefore, if there is no harvest in the second year, then people can only endure hunger. Only a few relatively strong people can survive until the next harvest through hunting and plundering, while most ordinary people can only
Waiting to die.
A natural disaster every year is a disaster.
Two consecutive years of natural disasters mean destruction.
If a large-scale natural disaster occurs for three consecutive years, then even the top nobles of the empire will become refugees with sallow faces and skinny faces. They or their hands that are not wet with spring water will be farming in the mud, because by that time, they will have
There is no one to work for them.
Being able to survive is already a matter of luck.
This is the current situation of human beings living in the Land of Redemption. As for the Fei Lie Empire, located in the southwest of the Redemption Continent, the environment is even worse.
Three hundred years of peace allowed the humans of the Redemption Continent to recuperate and recuperate.
The increase in population is not a good thing for the Philip Empire, which is short of food. The reason why the empire maintains such a large army is simply that the empire needs troops to expand its territory and find more food and resources.
To feed the empire's growing population, or rather, to let them die.
Dead people don't waste food.
And war is the best way to consume the population.
This is another kind of survival of the fittest in nature. It is a means to maintain the balance of nature. At the same time, it is also a necessary measure to maintain the rule of the empire and the luxurious enjoyment of the nobles.
The nobles don't need too many people. They only need the necessary people to cultivate the land. If eight people can do all the work, they won't feed ten people. If one person can do it, that's better.
Now. They will have more wealth for themselves to spend and enjoy.
And the excess population was used to launch wars.
This is the tradition of the Fei Lie Empire. Whether it is internal or external, a necessary war is like a game of cards between nobles.
If you can win money at the card table - for example, by annexing a nearby small noble, no one will say anything. Everyone will just use it as a talking point, just like analyzing the right and wrong of the last card played at the card table. They may
You will envy the winner and how much he got, but you will never think about the cards that were played.
In other words, those who died.
Now, the domestic problems in Fei Lie's empire have become more and more serious.
After conquering the barbarians in the northwest, there was no place in the country where war could be waged, and no land could be found for cultivation.
Therefore, Peter I exported the war to the Soran Empire.
Compared with the barren Feile Empire, the Solan Empire has more arable land. Especially the southern province of Lulian, which is close to the ocean and has several grain-producing areas, is like a paradise.
Peter I had long coveted the land of neighboring countries. But when he saw the Lanlith people trying to use the method of marrying Princess Alessia to seize control of the Solan Empire without bloodshed, he knew that if he didn't take action, he would have no chance.
.
If he delays it any longer, he will not only have to face a more powerful opponent, but more and more rebellions in the country will cause the crater under his throne to completely erupt.
Peter I was an iron-blooded emperor.
He relied on bloodshed to ascend to the throne, and he also relied on bloodshed to rule the empire. I am afraid that even if he dies, he will hold his own funeral with bloodshed.
Therefore, he issued an order for a full-scale attack on Saint-Soulan.
After Feili's army invaded Solan, they went on a killing spree without any scruples. This was the order of Peter I. The reason was simple. Because he didn't need these Solan people at all. He only wanted this land and its population.
There are so many people in the Lie Empire, we just need to immigrate them here.
Already heard the sound of water.
Tie Lun stood on the cliff, looking at the waterfall he passed before.
Compared with Fei Lie, this place was very beautiful. It was so beautiful that he was filled with a desire to conquer. As long as the fjord was captured, the empire's pace of conquering Lulian would be unstoppable.
In a few years, Sir Tielun will become Earl Tielun, Marquis, or even Duke. Become one of the rulers of this land!
All stumbling blocks that stand in front of you will be kicked away by yourself.
I have killed many people, and now I don't mind killing a few more. I don't mind continuing to kill like this. On the road to pursuing status, power and wealth, blood and bones are just embellishments.
Even the horn of the wronged soul is so beautiful.
At the steep path, Tie Lun got off his horse and walked down. He had always wanted to know how powerful the mysterious Solan army was that could make Nazi and Buz fall into a fight. Where did they come from and what did they do?
It is composed of people, who is the leader?
And now, the answer lies ahead.
……………………
……………………
In the Red Scorpion Corridor, the two armies were one kilometer apart and facing each other quietly.
On both wings, small groups of cavalry were running back and forth, sometimes approaching, sometimes detouring, sometimes crossing, and occasionally throwing rain of arrows at each other with bows and arrows, looking for opportunities to attack.
Both sides are waiting for their opponent to make a mistake.
"Something's wrong," Muye stared at the Solan troops in front of him, frowning slightly, "the other party's commander has been replaced, and it's not the same one just now."
Zi Sen stood beside Mu Ye and nodded when he heard the words.
He also discovered that in just one hour of prayer after leaving the battle, the Solan reinforcements in Munich seemed to have been completely transformed.
Their actions have become faster and more aggressive. The movement of the team is strict and thorough, and it is difficult to find flaws and flaws.
In their previous contacts, Zisen and Makuya once played the Solan army in circles.
In front of the elite Black Lightning Knights, the enemy simply cannot keep up. Muye can easily find their flaws, trick them into making mistakes, and plunge them into chaos.
Although the military strength is not as good as that of his opponent, Zi Sen believes that as long as there is enough time, even if Tie Lun does not come, Mu Ye and himself can still defeat this Solan army.
But now, the opponent that was once riddled with holes and loopholes has suddenly become elusive.
During the period when the two sides were confronting each other and testing each other, Makuya's several attacks were easily defused by his opponent. However, all the traps that were originally certain that the opponent would jump into were ineffective.
Especially just now, a small team on the left side feigned defeat and tried to induce the opponent to pursue them. However, when the opponent was barely able to catch up to the edge of the dangerous area, they turned their horses' heads and passed over the edge of the trap, calmly turning back to their own formation.
Zi Sen's feeling at that time was like seeing the fish bite the bait, and when he pulled the hook, he realized that the bait had been eaten but the fish had not been caught.
Such impeccable command skills were definitely not possessed by Commander Solan they faced before.
This guy is awesome!
Because of the existence of this person, the army in front of him has become difficult to deal with. If the current situation continues, it will be difficult for Zisen to guarantee that he and Mu Ye can stop the opponent's progress.
Staring at Solan's military formation in the distance, Zi Sen frowned slightly and murmured: "Solan's military has always been weak. Not only is the combat effectiveness of the soldiers low, but there are also few outstanding figures who can command in battle.
The only ones who deserve the title are Safin and his gang..."
He said, turning to look at Mu Ye, "Who could this person in front of us be?"
"It won't be Solan who becomes a famous general," Muye shook his head and said. "Those people are the treasures of the Solan Empire. If any one of them makes a mistake, it will be a huge blow to this weak empire. They are reluctant to give up.
These people come to take risks in the midst of a reinforcement army that only numbers a few thousand..."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Mu Ye's mouth, "And in Lulian, there is no opponent worth mentioning at all. If I guessed correctly, there is only one person who will appear here at this time..."
Zi Sen rolled his eyes and said suddenly: "You mean, Adolf's little daughter..."
"Sofia!" Muye nodded, "This is the youngest daughter of Grand Duke Lurian, the Flower of Lurian. It is said that she is naturally intelligent and has extremely high military wisdom. She is the mainstay of the Lulian family with declining talents. The empire attacks Lulian.
He fought repeatedly without success, and even suffered a disastrous defeat in Meiding City, all thanks to this woman."
He tapped his palm lightly with his horsewhip and said with narrowed eyes: "Now, Your Excellency Benson has broken through the dragon gate defense line of the Solan Empire, and is invincible wherever his troops point. Even though he knows that the direction of attack of Your Excellency Benson's army is to the south,
The Solan Empire can only hold on to Atlan, the central gateway.
Coupled with the teacher's strategizing, the unexpected troops attacked Adolf and besieged him. The situation in Lulian was out of control. Now it is just an abyss, and no matter how much resources are invested, it will be a waste. Under such circumstances, no one is willing to come.
This pool of muddy water..."
After saying that, Muye raised his eyebrows and said: "Except Sophia!"
"It's her?!" Zi Sen murmured, his brows slowly frowning.
If it is really Sophia, then this battle will be difficult to win.
Zi Sen once heard his teacher analyze the battle in Meiding City.
It is said that the main force of Lulian at that time originally agreed with the Fifth Army of Solan's Frontier Army to fight Fei Lie's Southern Army under the city of Meiding. However, at the critical moment when Fei Lie's army was approaching the city, Solan's Fifth Army passed the Xi'an Army.
Laihe left Adolf to Philip's army as a check, but he took the opportunity to attack Philip's retreat and gain merit.
But under such circumstances, Solan's army, under the command of Sophia, achieved a great victory.
Although the Battle of Meiding City was a contingency due to the extraordinary performance of the ragtag army, according to Minai's analysis, in this battle, whether it was the decisive retreat of Solan's main force before or the ability to capture the fighter jets later, Sophia's
The conductors are all excellent.
When retreating, the troops retreated slowly without any panic. When attacking, they were like tigers coming out of the gate, as fast as lightning. They broke through, pursued, divided, surrounded, pressed step by step, fierce and ruthless. Even Minai asked himself where he was.
Sophia's position at the time could only do so.
But now, after encountering and fighting in person, Zi Sen gained another level of personal understanding of Sophia's power.
Facing such an opponent, even with his confidence in Mu Ye, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, his own forces were at a disadvantage. If Sophia broke through, the consequences would be...
While they were talking, the knights on both sides had already fought for several rounds.
It is clear that the strength of the Black Lightning Knight is much higher than that of the opponent, and the battle formation is coordinated, and the team is more well-trained and has a more rigorous and tacit understanding. However, it cannot take the slightest advantage. Solan's army is quite organized whether it is advancing or retreating.
, watertight, not giving our own side the slightest chance.
If the fight continues like this for a long time, it will be quite disadvantageous for Fei Lie's army, which is at a disadvantage in terms of strength.
After all, the Solan knights can rotate back and forth, but the Felie knights cannot rest. Even if both sides lose in the end, the five important places in the fjord are still under the control of the Solan people.
"Are you worried?" Seeing Zi Sen's brows furrowed, Mu Ye asked.
Zi Sen nodded.
To be honest, his premonition was not very good.
Originally, in the eyes of the five heroes, seizing the fjord was a piece of cake. But they didn't expect that the situation would evolve to this point.
Not only were none of the five strategic locations requested by Minai captured, but even Nazi and Buz had lost their traces, and their lives were uncertain.
If Sophia in front of him was still an obvious threat, then the mysterious Solan army on the western front made Zi Sen even more uneasy.
"Is there going to be any problem with Tie Lun?" Zi Sen calmed down and asked.
"Naqi is careless, but Buz is reckless," Muye said calmly, "It's only a matter of time before the two of them run into problems. However, if the other party thinks that Tie Lun is so easy to deal with, then he may have made the wrong idea."
With that said, Muye turned to look at Zi Sen, "If it were you, how sure would you be to attack Tie Lun when he was already alert?"
Zi Sen was silent for a while. He shook his head and said, "I'm not sure! If I want to attack him forcefully, I might be swallowed by him!"
"Among us, Tie Lun's military style is the most staunch and brutal. Even if he is forced into a desperate situation, he will bite back before he dies," Mu Ye said, "Even I have no need to fight against him.
Guaranteed victory. The other party wants to kill Tie Lun, which is just a fool’s errand!”
As he spoke, he looked into the distance. "As long as Tie Lun can arrive in time, we will win this battle."
"Then let's..." Zi Sen asked.
"Wait!" Mu Ye sneered, "It will take at least five prayer hours for him to get here. The Solan people are in a hurry, but we are not in a hurry."
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked behind him.
There, a peak like a bamboo hat stands quietly under the blue sky and white clouds. It is the south side of the Red Scorpion Canyon and is a natural pass.
This was the main reason why Mu Ye chose this place as the place to intercept Solan's reinforcements.
With this mountain at their back and a commanding position, no matter how fierce the Solan people's offensive was, they would never be able to break through without paying a huge price.
Now, the fighting area is still far to the north, far from the top of the mountain, and there is still a lot of space behind it that can be used. As long as you retreat slowly and maintain your strength for more than ten prayer hours, it is not a problem, even for a day or two.
.
When Tie Lun arrives, he will not only block Sophia here, but even Solan's main force will not even think of overstepping the limit!
And who can stop me?!
………………………
………………………
Among the rolling mountains in the southern part of the fjord, groups of Fei Lie's armies were marching on winding mountain roads like long dragons.
"quick!"
A Fei Lie officer yelled, urging his soldiers, and then rode his horse and rushed to the front of the queue.
"Speed up!"
The officers' roars echoed in the valley. Looking at their ice-like expressions, the soldiers gritted their teeth and quickened their pace.
In the center of the team, a huge silver elephant walked slowly.
Each step it takes is equivalent to an ordinary soldier running at full strength for a dozen steps. Therefore, although it seems to move slowly, it can move extremely fast. Even on narrow mountain roads, it is stable and runs like flying.
Minai's tall body stood quietly on the head of the silver elephant. As the giant elephant moved, the mountain wind blew in his face, blowing his long hair. Behind him, several Fei Lie generals stood with their hands tied and held their breath.
Everyone looked at Minai with eyes full of deep awe.
Everyone who knows Minai knows that although this gentle and famous general Fei Lie looks calm, in fact he is already furious!
Ever since he was appointed by Peter I to take over the command of Philip's Southern Army, Minnai could be said to be the master of everything.
He first defeated the main force of Lulian with a textbook night attack, forcing Adolf, who was Lulian's soul, to trap the camel pass. Then, he used Adolf as bait and made repeated designs to divert the main force of Solan's army.
Heading towards the Night Canyon, a surprise attack was launched into the fjord, completely opening the door to the north of Lulian.
In terms of strategy and tactics, even the most unconvinced people have to admit that Minai is more than one step ahead of his opponents, and he has completely manipulated the Solan people into his hands.
After Fano's army passed the White Horse Slope, this battle has completely entered the steps of Minai - dragging Fano, capturing Adolf, leading the troops out of the fjord to the Hillai River, dividing Lulian into two parts.
2. After this battle, the entire Lulian will become the possession of the empire and is under its control.
But no one expected that at this moment, two pieces of unbelievable news came.
The first news is that Adolf, who was already a turtle in the urn, successfully jumped out of the encirclement with the rescue of an army of Fei Lie knights and disappeared without a trace!
After being besieged for such a long time and heavily guarded, Adolf actually allowed Adolf to escape and all his previous efforts were wasted. It must be said that this was a heavy blow to the proud and conceited Minai.
However, what made Minay even more angry was not that Adolf slipped through the net, but the fjord!
Nazi and Buz disappeared, and at night, Zi Sen and Tie Lun were forced to enter!
None of the five important places were captured, they were all under the control of the Solan people!
This can no longer be described as incompetent.
Two small castles, two military strongholds, and a sentry tower. Such a goal, let alone the five heroes who are the direct disciples of Minai, have outstanding talents and have experienced hundreds of battles. Even if they randomly send some ordinary legions, they will have long been defeated.
Got it.
However, just before midnight, a few of them failed.
Not only did they miss, but even Nazi and Buz's lives were uncertain.
The generals were completely silent.
Looking at Minai's back, they didn't even dare to express their anger.
After a long time, Minai turned her head. There was no expression on that handsome and elegant face.
He sat down on the large wooden chair and said slowly: "It seems that I still underestimated the Solan people. I originally thought that there were few worthy opponents in a place like Lulian, even Adolf. But. But
I didn’t expect that at the end of the game, I would be given such a big surprise!”
The generals lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word.
"Our opponents seem to have suddenly become smarter," Minai tapped his fingers on the armrest and said thoughtfully, "If you can see through my plan, you can make Makuya and the others eat like this."
What a big loss... I'm very curious as to which famous general from Solan came to Lulian to compete with me without hesitation!"
The generals remained silent.
Minai looked up at the sky, lost his mind for a while, then lowered his eyes and scanned everyone's faces.
"Give me the order!" Minai said calmly.
The generals solemnly held their chests high and stood erect.
"The troops are speeding up. The main force must arrive at the fjord within fifteen prayer hours," Minai said coldly, "Order the knights to leave the group and follow me to the fjord in advance."
As he spoke, Minai's fingers exerted force and crushed the solid wooden handrail to pieces.
A cold light flickered in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "I want to see who this gentleman is who is blocking our way!"
