It only took one day for the barbarians to turn Westlead, a bustling commercial and manufacturing city, into ruins. All the manufacturing workshops were destroyed, including gold coins, jewelry, equipment stripped from corpses, cloth, and so on.
All the useful supplies collected were put into the stolen cars and carried by animals and lizards towards the north, ready to be transported back to Taitalia.
West dealt with a lot of ordinary people who had no time to escape, but fortunately the barbarians did not massacre them and eat them alive as they had imagined. They just gathered them and drove them towards the royal city, killing civilians who had no ability to resist.
In the eyes of these barbarians who call themselves warriors, it is an extremely shameful behavior. However, they are looking for nobles among them. Once they find them, they immediately tie them up and throw them into the cargo pile. They are hostages who can be exchanged for quite a lot of gold coins.
The streets were littered with corpses left after the battle, with many large lizards munching on them, and dragonflies gathering in groups on some of the corpses that had begun to rot. After the battle, the barbarians were frantically looking for the tavern.
He broke open the door of the underground tavern, brought out large barrels of wine, and began to howl and drink.
In the camp outside the city, King Taizé was listening to the reports of the two barbarian leaders responsible for attacking here. He led a large number of animal trainers and lizardman troops to block three reinforcements coming towards here, and then
He arrived and defeated dozens of gryphon knights. If it weren't for the king's extraordinary military talent, Taitalia would never have gone so far this time and won so completely.
In addition to the lizard man clan leader, there were several young staff members who were not dressed as barbarians, and a middle-aged man who looked like an honest and honest man who looked exactly like a grocery store owner. These people were all from Oufu.
The helper, in a short period of time, has been completely trusted by the King of Taizé and follows him closely.
"Your Majesty, the warriors of the Swamp Land have completely captured this place. There is no opponent that cannot be defeated by the courage and fury of the warriors of the north. This is the greatest victory Taitalia has ever achieved against Erathilai. You
His bravery and leadership have covered the sky and the sun. They are as unparalleled as the strong wind on Sandfes Mountain. Now we are less than three hundred miles away from the royal city of Erathia. We can attack there in a few days with all our strength.
You will become the first King of Taitalia to conquer Erathia. "The barbarian leader who reported the situation was blushing. He seemed to have drank on the way here and was dancing so excited that he couldn't control himself. These people have been doing this all year round.
The warriors living in swamps and wastelands used this method of complete conquest when they first saw the richness of the Erathia Plain. For them who originally lacked control, such stimulation seemed to be too much.
.
"The royal city of Erathia is right in front of us, and the culprit who has bullied us for many years is trembling there. Your Majesty the King, please order the attack. The axes and blood of the warriors in the north are enough to destroy them, and let us stand at the top of those teachings.
Burn those church pigs to death, and let that bitch Catherine moan and beg for mercy under your body." Another barbarian leader's eyes were red and his voice was hoarse, as if Queen Erathia was already under him.
"All warriors are thirsty for the blood of their enemies. I guarantee that their bravery will not disappoint you, Your Majesty."
The young barbarian king nodded, with an expression of appreciation on his face. He said to the two leaders: "Okay. You all retreat. I tell you all to have a good rest today. As for our next move,
I will make a decision after discussing with several staff members."
Just as the two barbarian leaders left, a golden shadow flew into the camp at an extremely fast speed and suddenly stopped on the middle-aged man next to the king. This was an adult dragonfly with a slender body that was about a foot long.
It spreads its transparent wings about two feet long, like an enlarged dragonfly. The speed and maneuverability of this large insect are the same as those of a dragonfly, and are beyond the reach of any bird.
The middle-aged man carefully untied a small folded piece of paper from the dragon fly, unfolded it, looked at it, and said to the King of Taize: "The ten thousand cavalry on the highlands have withdrawn first and are galloping towards here with all their strength."
Come on. We have arrived at Pinsburg now. We expect to arrive in two days."
King Taize looked at the middle-aged man and smiled with satisfaction, and said: "Thanks to Mr. Anderson and his fellow students, we can understand the battle situation so clearly and predict the enemy's opportunities. Unexpectedly, we have raised hundreds of
Only in the hands of a druid can the old dragon fly be of such great use. I guarantee that the faith of the druid will be carried forward in the swamp country in the future."
The middle-aged man neither looked happy nor expressed gratitude for the king's respect. He just nodded dully.
This is the third dragon fly that has received news today. The flying speed of the dragon fly is higher than that of most birds, and its strength is in traveling long distances. It can fly thousands of miles away in half a day, although Taitali
Although the savages and animal trainers in Asia have raised this insect for hundreds of years, they have never thought of using it to transmit messages. After all, the intelligence of insects is much lower than that of birds. Even the commanders can only execute the simplest orders.
.With the help of druid spells, communication with these insects has improved by leaps and bounds, and only then can the dragon flies really play a role on the battlefield in a short period of time.
Druid Anderson came to Taitalia through Eufor's introduction. Druid was originally a heretic in religious countries such as Erathia, and some accidental incidents caused him to get involved in Eufor's plan. Now he has
Wanted by Erathia everywhere. After completing the mission promised to Asa, he had no intention of participating in the war between Eufor and the coalition forces. He led some druid companions to Taitalia, but he did not expect to pass Cedros's
Arrangements and recommendations, he and his companions are now popular in the eyes of the King of Taizé.
After the death of the former court magician and shadow sage, these druids became the only group of spellcasters in Taitalia. Although their spells were not as good as those of the previous shadow sage masters and apprentices, they had a strong influence on Taitalia.
The effect is a hundred times that of the two magicians. Not only did they increase the production of dragon flies and swamp lizards in a short period of time, but they also used secret methods to make a kind of swamp vine tougher, allowing those who have always been used to fighting shirtless.
The barbarians have protective gear that is not inferior to Erathia's regular troops...
Druids have been suppressed by the church for many years, and it was only at this time that they really found a place to show their skills. Although Anderson himself was not interested in fame and fortune, the vast majority of his druids were young people.
, the sudden sigh of relief and raised eyebrows made them devote themselves wholeheartedly to their enthusiasm for contributing to Taitalia.
The messages were flexibly conveyed through the dragonflies, and the barbarians even had the upper hand in terms of strategic and tactical distribution. Only then could they flexibly defeat Erathia's troops one by one when they were not assembled. And the three messages that came today also made it possible for them to defeat each other flexibly.
They understand the current situation more clearly.
In addition to the news just received, the previous two troops from the west are also rushing here to get the news. King Taizé asked the young man next to him: "You have also heard what the two leaders just said, we swamp warriors
Our morale is extremely high, and we are eagerly waiting for my order to continue the attack. What do you think we should do?"
A young man immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, you must not advance rashly. In fact, we are very lucky to be able to capture Westlead. Erathia's army was unable to gather in a hurry and was defeated by us one by one. Now the troops in the royal city are
But the most elite Kingdom Knights are ready to go, and if the situation is urgent, Celeste will definitely have reinforcements coming."
"We need two magicians in the army, and the situation will be reversed. Although our dragonflies have a huge advantage when dealing with ordinary soldiers, especially archers, they are vulnerable to any large-scale high-level magic.
of."
"There are no spellcasters in our team at all. Although the combat effectiveness of the warriors is undoubted, this flaw will turn into serious injuries when fighting against the elites of Erathia. Moreover, the Kingdom Knights did not attack to rescue Westrid.
The reason is also obvious. They are just waiting for the reinforcements to withdraw from the highlands to the east and the troops to the Negan border to the west. As long as the reinforcements from both sides arrive and they attack together, we will definitely be in an unfavorable situation of being attacked on three sides."
"And in terms of military strength, we are also at an absolute disadvantage. If Erathia's army is fully assembled, there will be 60,000 people. Now is our last good chance to retreat. Reinforcements from both the east and west are coming from afar. If not
They will never dare to pursue without permission even after they have regrouped. As long as our army retreats to the swamp area, Erathia's cavalry troops will not be able to pursue it."
The words of several young people seemed a little anxious. From the two barbarian leaders just now, they could see how strong the desire of these warriors to continue attacking was. However, it happened that it was definitely not the time to attack. It was the time to attack.
retreat.
"Don't worry, everyone. I know that we really need to retreat, and this war has brought Taitalia unprecedented gains." King Taize nodded, stood up and looked at the young staff around him and said:
"Do you know what our biggest gain from this war in Taitalia is?"
"Of course, so much material has been seized. The materials looted along the way and sent back to Taitalia are equivalent to the income of the whole country of Taitalia for ten years."
"The attack on Erathia was also an unprecedented result. Even though Erathia's army did not suffer any fatal blows, commercial agriculture was severely damaged along the way. Counting the food they wasted on wasting their troops this time,
and human affairs, I’m afraid it won’t recover in a few years.”
"The animal tamer unit has also received a good opportunity for actual combat. The dragon fly and lizard combat methods can be used more skillfully. They will definitely play a greater role in future battles."
King Taize shook his head and said: "No, you are all wrong. Although these are unprecedented achievements since the founding of Taize, they are not the biggest gains." His vision impressed these young people and Germany.
Rui Anderson's face swept over and he said in a deep voice: "The biggest gain is you. You are the biggest gain for me, Taitalia."
Several young people were a little flattered and said: "Your Majesty, thank you for the award. We just fulfilled our duties."
"It's not an award. If it weren't for the tactics you planned and the strategies you arranged, this battle would never have been able to achieve such a complete victory. The most important thing is for me to truly understand. Fearless warriors are certainly very useful on the battlefield.
, but the more important thing is always outside the battlefield, in the mind, rather than muscles and bravery. This is probably the reason why Taitalia has been suppressed by Erathia for many years and can't even breathe. And now
With your help, as long as you give me more than ten years, Taitalia will definitely become a powerful country that can compete with Erathia." King Taize's appearance is admittedly a bit ridiculous, but at this moment, his expression and
The kind of majesty that the voice exudes can only be possessed by true kings and leaders. "You will all be the hope for the rise of Taitalia. I know that you are all cultivated by Mr. Cedros. But I express my gratitude to you."
I guarantee that Taitalia will definitely be the best place for you to display your talents, and what he gives you will never let you down."
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty." These young people were a little moved. The people of Taitalia have an inherent concept of being extremely xenophobic. Some people have already expressed their disapproval of the outsiders who gained the trust of their king as soon as they arrived.
They are dissatisfied, but this is actually just that they follow Cedros's instructions and assist King Taizé in military strategy. Not many barbarians are mentally developed, and they can become analyzable in that kind of brave and arrogant folk customs.
There is no place to advise on the situation. And now the words of the King of Taizé are officially acknowledging their importance and recognizing their status in Tatalia.
"Give me the order to take a day off today. The entire army will retreat tomorrow. By the way, let them prepare more fodder. We can only leave Erathia with a real ruin."
At the same time, Celeste.
Pope Magnus was listening to the report of the priest who had returned from the wild highlands. When he heard that one of the most elite heavy cavalry was wiped out under a forbidden curse, he just frowned and said "oh"
.
"According to what we and several magicians later said, the scroll of the forbidden curse may have come from the Diya Valley, and the wanted criminal who can use necromancy magic is also in the Oufu camp. If there is that behind Oufu
A group of evil necromancers. Everything is unpredictable, so I came to ask Your Majesty to decide..."
"Probably not." His Majesty the Pope said calmly. His voice was not loud, but "There shouldn't be Diya Gu behind Oufu. As for the scroll with the forbidden curse..." His Majesty the Pope turned slightly.
He turned his head and looked at Bishop Adela standing next to him. "What do you think this is going on?"
"Maybe... maybe they... accidentally got it from somewhere..." When asked suddenly, the cardinal's look and voice were a little unnatural.
His Majesty the Pope nodded and said calmly: "Oh? It seems that Cedros and the others are really lucky. They can even get this kind of thing by chance."
The cardinal standing next to him had a few cold sweats on his face, but he thought about it and said immediately: "Your Majesty, based on their description of this forbidden curse, I can tell that it should be Taitalia's." The shadow magic of the great shadow sage Nimbas is a mutated branch of necromantic magic. It is said that Eufor's general Gru helped Prince Taize kill the shadow sage when he usurped the throne. This may be what he got at that time. Forbidden Curse Scroll."
"I see. So, Diya Valley should have nothing to do with Oufu?"
"Yes. Your Majesty must be so angry. There is no way that Ou Fu is related to Diya Valley."
"Well, that means that the scroll of the forbidden curse is the only one owned by Oufu?"
"Maybe?" His Majesty the Pope's eyes were not cold, but the cardinal felt goosebumps rising on his skin.
"Uh... maybe... there's more." Adela faltered, with an uncertain look on her face, and finally said: "I heard that Master Esri, the master of the Tower of Flame among the five towers of the Tower of Fang, is missing. It has been a while. It is said that someone once saw him last appearing near the Kalendo Basin. General Geqianlu of Ofu was also there at that time. And it is said that Master Asri has been wearing a scroll of forbidden spells for many years... It seems to be the forbidden curse of fire and earth, meteor and fire rain."
His Majesty the Pope's expression finally changed when he heard the word "Meteor of Fire". Then he sighed, shook his head and said to himself: "These guys, if you don't have the ability to use them, don't make these things randomly. Ah. How can a truly strong person need this?"
Bishop Adela quickly said: "This should be Ofu's last trump card. Although the power of this forbidden spell magic is huge, it lasts for a long time and is not suitable for dealing with mobile troops."
"The final trump card? Since even you can think of it, this cannot be the final trump card. A good tactician will never reveal his final trump card easily. How could Cedros not know this truth?" The Pope let out a long sigh and lowered his head to think.
Adela and the kneeling priests below did not dare to make a sound and waited quietly for His Majesty the Pope.
Finally, the Pope raised his head and sighed again. For the first time, his face showed the fatigue of an old man. He said to the priest: "Erasia also sent people to ask for reinforcements this morning. It seems that The situation is not good either. When you go back, tell the coalition generals to temporarily withdraw their troops this time."
"Yes." The priest withdrew. Although he could feel that there seemed to be something strange in the words of His Majesty the Pope and the Cardinal, he did not dare and would not guess without permission. A person in his position would never Know what to know.
After the god withdrew, the pope was stunned for a while, and then said to Adela: "Call the templar who saved Welsky last time and submitted tactical suggestions."
