Volume Six, Chapter 28, The World Invites a Battle
At the end of the summer of the eighth year of the Magic Calendar, the Eastern and Western Magic Empires, which were in a semi-hostile state, reactivated the magic teleportation arrays spread across three continents in order to show favor to neutral forces such as the Mercenary Guild and the Thieves Guild. At the same time, the two empires sent magisters
and the great magician, began to build new teleportation arrays based on other magic systems on various continents.
By the end of the eighth year of the Magical Calendar, a full 20,000 years later, several major cities on the continent once again had large magic circles that could teleport people.
——"King of Kings; Queen of Blue Rose"
It is said that after His Royal Highness, the head of the Pirate King family, received the bad news that the Pirate Skeleton Army had been wiped out, he was so angry that he smashed over a priceless gold dining table on the spot.
For the Pirate King family, this is indeed an unbearable shame and humiliation!
First Han Han, then Grand Duke Catalina. In just over half a year, two dragon knights in the family died at the hands of a small mercenary group.
If this was just a duel between warriors, that would be fine. What is even more intolerable to His Royal Highness is: first the Sweat-blooded Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group, then nearly half of the pirate skeleton army, and the 20,000-strong armored army turned out to be an organized group that was destroyed.
Tragedy! What’s more, what’s even more outrageous is that in these two massacres, the enemy, the small mercenary group, actually maintained almost zero casualties!
The battle at Fanshui River was nothing more than a fire. After all, water and fire were incompatible. After all, the Pirate King family had only been proud of the lake and the sea for 20,000 years. However, this time in the Jia Shui ambush battle, they only used a fire.
The flood easily wiped out the pirate skeleton army. When such news spread, the head of the Pirate King family didn't even know what color his face should be in order to express his shame and the shame of his family.
Not only the head of the family, but also other important figures in the Pirate King family were dumbfounded. At the same time, they all wanted to crush their steel teeth in their mouths.
At the end of summer and March of the eighth year of the Magic Calendar, the Thieves Guild announced the latest news to the entire world: The head of the Pirate King Family has ordered that the Sweat-Blooded Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group in the Flower Language Plain, the Black Crocodile Mercenary Group in the southeastern swamps of the Eminor Continent, and the Pirates
The remaining three armies of the Skeleton Army will all take sea ships to meet at the Sanggan River, and their total strength will exceed 30,000.
At the same time as this news was sent out, there was also an ancient gentleman's invitation to war from the Pirate King family. The full text is as follows:
Amy; Captain of the small mercenary group: Haber:
I have heard for a long time that Amy, Da Qingshan, Horns, and Chi Aotian of the Little Mercenary Group are all outstanding soldiers in the world. Their popularity is unprecedented, and in just a few years, they built the Little Mercenary Group from scratch and established an unparalleled business.
, truly unprecedented.
In the war with your regiment, my family suffered three consecutive defeats without winning a single victory. It is really a shame for the family. However, the ancients said: know shame and then be brave.
Therefore, it is planned that on the first day of the third month in the autumn of the eighth year of the Magic Calendar, the ancient gentleman and the warriors of the small mercenary group will hunt in the fields on the north bank of the Sangqian River.
I hope that Your Excellency will fulfill this matter and do not refuse.
Pirate King of the Southern Cross Doug; Feng; Saint
This letter of engagement was not just sent to the headquarters of the small mercenary group. In the summer of the eighth year of the Magic Calendar, almost every person in power in the Pan-Continent saw the magical photocopy of this letter of engagement. Moreover, at the end of the letter of engagement,
It is also specifically stated that this battle is a private matter. All warring parties are requested not to intervene for any reason, otherwise, the Pirate King family will impose direct sanctions after the war. For a time, relatives will be in pain and enemies will be in pain.
When receiving this letter of engagement, Amy Haber, the leader of the small mercenary group, had already restored his true colors, but the price was astonishing - Amy had to drink two drops of magic well water every day, which was enough.
In 30 days, after drinking all the water in a double-threaded snail, the transformation from an old man to a young man was completed.
When drinking the magic well water, Amy was so distressed that she wanted to shed tears dozens of times. After returning to the headquarters of the small mercenary group, Amy carefully checked the relevant information again and learned that the annual output of the magic well water was only a hundred drops.
Right and left, this is not drinking water, it is simply drinking diamond, agate, emerald and white jade soup. Even if this magic well water is converted into purple gold coins, it is estimated to be one hundred thousand.
Originally, in the next plan of the small mercenary group, they were still planning to concentrate all their efforts on the soft persimmon - the Sanggan River War Zone.
At this time, the combat strength of the elite troops of the small mercenary group once again reached 40,000, and there were many dragon knights. Sanggan River is currently the only war zone in the major spheres of influence that does not have dragon knights to assist. For Sanggan River
All senior officers and cadres in the northern theater unanimously believe that the area can be fully occupied within two to three months - this is still a conservative estimate. If the attack force is large enough, after attacking General Clay Barton's main army in one fell swoop,
Maybe other cities along the Sanggan River will follow suit.
This invitation to challenge that suddenly fell from the sky is undoubtedly the beginning of new troubles. What's worse is that whether Amy accepts this invitation to challenge or not, the three armies of the Pirate King will meet at the Sanggan River, and they will definitely
A battle will be forcibly launched.
If this is the case, it is better to accept this war happily.
Amy walked around the hall and said what was on her mind.
Everyone in the hall was looking at Amy, including Chi Aotian, whose eyes were still somewhat bruised. Da Qingshan and Horns looked at each other, with a smile on their faces.
"This...if there is no chance of winning, it's better not to accept the challenge. The worst is, we will dig a bigger swamp area." Amy rubbed her nose and muttered.
It sounds like he wants to avoid fighting, but if he tastes it carefully, he has a different feeling: if there is a lottery, Your Excellency Amy is still full of confidence in letting the Pirate King family see what it means to be greedy for money.
"It's just..." Horns made a mental calculation of his combat power and felt a little unsure: "We are mercenaries after all. We have never participated in any frontal battles before."
"His Royal Highness Horns is right." Lan Tian stood up and saluted Amy very respectfully. As an old soldier, the Grand Duke still admired the three major battles that Amy quietly launched after returning - although he had always been confused.
In the drum.
In terms of strategy alone, even without the glorious result of the Jia Shui Ambush and the annihilation of the Pirate Skeleton Legion, it was just the application of two unprecedented tactics, the swamp defense on the southern front and the mountain siege on the northern front, regardless of the final success or failure.
Whether it is or not, it is enough to make Lord Chi Hanfeng's adopted son famous all over the world: "General, as a theater commander, I must point out that in frontal battles, the ministries under the jurisdiction of the small mercenary group are far from the regular army of the empire in terms of cohesion and cooperation.
It’s very far away, so I’m not optimistic about this battle.”
Amy's eyes showed a look of sudden realization: "Thank you very much for your suggestion. I have also discovered this, but there have been frequent wars before and no measures have been taken. In this way, I asked the Grand Duke to mobilize outstanding legions from the regular army of the empire.
Serve as the deputy captain of each battalion of the small mercenary group. In the next two months, we will strengthen the training of the mercenaries in this area, and we can also arrange two to three military exercises. Please take care of this matter."
The Grand Duke of Lantian nodded sadly, and it seemed as if he was still ready to accept this challenge.
Sure enough, not long after, the Mercenary Guild exclusively released Amy; Mr. Haber’s words were concise and concise:
In fact, the small mercenary group does not mind giving the Pirate King family a lively war observation lesson. However, as a mercenary, especially a mercenary group, any service is paid at any time.
, if the Pirate King is willing to pay the following remuneration, or more accurately, it is gambling money, the small mercenary group will definitely be happy to accept the appointment.
1. If the Pirate King family loses in this battle, the Sweat-Blooded Iron Cavalry mercenary regiment will be disbanded on the spot, and the remaining two legions will completely withdraw from the Eminor continental war. In the next 20 years, when they see the banner of the small mercenary regiment, they will retreat.
2. Pay two million war compensation, of course in gold coins.
3. Leave all large warships as war compensation materials.
If the small mercenary group is defeated, His Highness Amy promised that the small mercenary group will be disbanded on the spot, and all senior cadres will return to the frozen continent immediately, and return the Landa Dragon Magic Cannon captured in the Battle of Jiashui.
The Pirate King family will compensate the Pirate King family with another two million gold coins, and at the same time release more than 1,000 prisoners from the Battle of Jia Shui. If His Excellency the King of the Southern Cross agrees, please be sure to prepare enough gold coins before the war, and find enough
The average portion.
After this reply was published, all the major forces in the world were shocked again. Is this really the reply from Mr. Amy, the golden brain, who is famous for his wisdom, pragmatism and shrewdness?
The Sweat-blooded Iron Cavalry was almost completely wiped out in the Battle of Fanshui River. Only a few senior cadres managed to escape with the help of the power of the giant dragon and the phantom beast. The current Sweat-blooded Iron Cavalry mercenary group was reorganized in the past six months.
, there is a huge difference in strength from its heyday. Even if it is disbanded, it will not have much impact on the Pirate King family, but the small mercenary group is completely different. It can only be described in four words: like the sun in the sky.
In the entire Eminor Continent, the small mercenary group is now the number one war group. Once disbanded, the original forces in the Eminor Continent will lose at least 30% of their combat power.
However, after careful consideration of these words, most of the attentive people laughed: "Amy, this guy is really a typical businessman..."
In large-scale battles, calculated based on the battle damage rate, the losing side will suffer at least 60% battle losses. It is not new to have battle losses of 100%. The winning side's battle damage rate will generally not be less than 3%.
10. The battle loss rate exceeds 80%... It means nothing if it is not disbanded. Even if the Pirate King's family is well-off and suffers a major defeat in a row, it must withdraw from this war as soon as possible. Otherwise, the war that lasts for 20,000 years will
The ancient family may end completely after this battle. The same goes for the small mercenary group. This upstart has been established for less than 10 years. All its strength is on the table. Once it fails, there is no chance of making a comeback and it cannot be disbanded.
There is no difference.
If you think about it this way, both the Western Emperor's forces and the original forces of Eminor Continent are breaking out in a cold sweat. It's okay if the enemy loses, but what if it's our own side?
After this battle, there was no longer any suspense about the entire Eminor continent's war situation - all those in power understood this.
However, no one knows how to stop this battle. In the Pan-Continental War, the small mercenary group and the Pirate King family are all guest armies, including Amy's position as the general of the northern theater, which is just an agent. No one can give
He gave orders.
Even so, the small mercenary group headquarters in Moyada City still received a lot of well-intentioned advice. His Excellency Chi Changyun personally drove the slave dragon to Moyada, and the chief priest of the Vulcan Cult, Adam; His Highness Ping also sent
The two flying fantasy beast knights, His Highness Hongshi, sent His Excellency Bai Shaoling back to the continent of Eminore overnight after learning the news... Almost everyone said the same thing, and it was recommended that Your Excellency Amy not act out of emotion!
"Am I frustrated?" Amy looked at His Highness Hongshi's handwritten letter, shook her head helplessly, and asked several friends beside her in a low voice.
"Of course not." Horns Tongling rolled his big eyes, "I swear by the sun, a miser can never be equated with such a heroic word as loyalty."
"It's about spirit, not loyalty!" Amy patted Horns's animal-headed helmet, handed the letter to the dwarf, and sighed, "Alas... the world is so big, no one can understand me.
A lot of hard work."
"No, look..." The small mercenary group recently bought a lot of information from the Thieves Guild. In addition, the Thieves Guild also sent a lot of information for free. Da Qingshan sat at the table and rummaged through it carefully, "There are also
There is really a person who is your best friend and thinks about everything for you."
"Really?" Amy's eyes smiled like a pair of crescent moons, "Read it to me quickly. It's not easy. It's hard to find a true friend even though you're thousands of miles away."
"Ahem..." Da Qingshan cleared his throat, "I am shocked to learn that the little mercenary group, Golden Brain Amy, will have a decisive battle with His Highness the Southern Cross King in the north of the Sangqian River. I deeply regret it. The gentlemen of the small mercenary group and the pirate king
Generals are all the top elites in human society, and they should not start disputes just because of their own whims..."
Amy touched Da Qingshan's forehead: "Did you...did you eat something bad? This is my soulmate?"
"Don't worry, there are still a lot of words below." A slight smile appeared at the corner of Da Qingshan's mouth.
"However, if you guys are determined to imitate the ancient customs and open up the world's horizons, how happy it is! At that time, we will go to the scene in person to support you, and we are willing to maintain peace and order outside the scene for you. If you need an inch, we will
People, protectors and other things, I am willing to do my best..."
Ah? At this juncture, someone actually sent something like this. All the mercenaries and soldiers in the entire hall stared at Daqingshan with wide eyes.
"At the end of this letter... is there no name written on it?" Amy could only show a wry smile. It seems that the ancients said it well. The only sins in the world are villains and women, neither killing their fathers.
He doesn't have the hatred to take away his wife. This villain looks like he won't stop fighting. He really has no choice but to force Amy to say dirty things...
"Is there any?" Da Qingshan muttered, turning to the end of the scroll very carefully, rubbing his eyes and looking at it carefully, and told Amy seriously: "Where can there be such a thing? It is clearly written about the Demon Commander Yi Hailan..."
Looking at Da Qingshan's unusually innocent and lovely big eyes, Amy could not wait to pick up the scroll and pull the first deputy captain out of the window like a magic ball.
Now, Amy thought about the very polite Alcatraz Island patrol team she met on the south bank of the Sanggan River not long ago, and couldn't help but secretly sighed: The Jia Shui ambush seemed to have been used as a gun by this blond boy again, and this
The guy was obviously getting smoother and smoother, as if he was the ancient gun in his hand. He jumped out in a hurry this time, and he must have bad intentions. It wouldn't work like this all the time. Amy muttered in her heart, but she didn't show it at all on her face.
Come.
…
In the early stages of the War of the Gods, the Alcatraz Army led by Yi Hailan had always played a disgraceful role.
The Xidijun Group and the original forces of Eminol Continent are like a pair of evenly matched players in the boxing ring. Yi Hailan is the referee jumping up and down next to him. When either player makes a major mistake and is about to be completely beaten by a few punches.
, Yi Hailan will step forward and shout "stop", and then continue to cheer for the loser, such as drinking some water or something. If one party's power is too far apart, Yi Hailan can always make a small move.
, let both sides get back to the same starting line.
There are too many such examples, but only those who are truly attentive will discover the vague rules here.
For example, during the Battle of Lion River under the command of Viscount Fan, he was only one step away from annihilating the Western Expedition of Fanos in one fell swoop. The appearance of the Alcatraz Army forced Viscount Fan to return with a tragic victory.
For another example, after the Bloody Night in the Imperial Capital, the power of the Eminor Continent declined sharply. Chi Hantong had to lead the Western Army back to Tongyunguan, giving up the empire's largest grain production area. If it was occupied by Fanos, the consequences would be disastrous.
It was Yi Hailan who jumped out again, led the Alcatraz army to six battles and six victories, and took this fertile soil as his own. It was just like this that Chi Aotian's expeditionary army had the opportunity to wear down the Western Emperor Group;
Chi Aotian had a smooth fight on the Huayu Plain. When the small mercenary group captured seven cities in the Sanggan River, the dragon knights of Alcatraz Island visited the iron capital again and easily defeated the Amy Empire.
The same country tore a big crack from the inside...
There are many such examples.
It is a pity that Amy, Chi Aotian, Daqingshan, and Horns in the early stage of the War of the Gods were too young and did not think about these things carefully. In the eyes of young people like the Little Mercenary Group, apart from war,
, they rarely see anything else.
"Amy, the content of this information is not good for us, you must read it!" Chi Aotian smashed several very thick scrolls on the table. Under the reflection of the sun, bright yellow dust rose upward...
