Chapter 40

Leiden's army can be said to be in chaos now. Although the officers and generals were trying hard to maintain order, saying that the attack on the Sariya Fort in the rear was just a rumor, but the subsequent supply materials were not transported was a fact. The Dias entered their mainland, burned, killed and looted everywhere, and they were foolishly confronting the enemy on the front line.

The Dia people started again!

The Leidens have long since taken Dia's daily array seriously, but now the front line is very chaotic. Some people who have been recruited from the near Fort Sariya have begun to make trouble with the commander to go home, and they are even more unintentional to fight.

What are they going to do?

They are driving our civilians to fill the pit, they are really going to attack the city!

Before the formation, Mandel arranged a batch of magic circles with the help of Shirley. The mages who had just joined Dia are already familiar with basic offensive magic recently. After all, they can get exercise every day, and then summarize experience and explain skills. No one forces them to go to the front line to fight against the enemy's bow and arrow, and no one forces them to overload their magic again and again. There is no other place to do this kind of good life.

As for the magic circle, these new mages burst out with great enthusiasm

As a fire explosion technique hit the gate of the pass, the gate with metal was still burned red, and some places were melted, and then another shot was released. By the third shot, the city gate was directly blown open.

In fact, Andy had no hope for these front-line passes at the beginning, but he planned to use this to snipe Diazer from layer to layer. The confrontation and training made the Leidens think that they could really hide behind the pass and rest assured. Now the Diagans are really here. In order to reduce casualties, they have not put many soldiers on the city wall except for a small number of unlucky guys. Even if the other party blasted the city gate, there were no further actions. The Leidens who were pushed over by them rushed into the pass. They thought this was a life path, but in fact it was a dead end. Although the city gate was broken, the flames ignited by the spell were still there. There were various obstacles and traps in the city gate, and now they were all used on civilians.

Dia's army slowly began to press forward under the war songs and prayers of the military sacrifices. The already chaotic Leidens people just put the archer onto the city wall and were stunned by Dia's stone thrower. A large number of gravels were smashed down like raindrops, which were completely different from the past that was blessed by magic but soft and weak. Some sharp-eyed soldiers discovered that when they were in chaos, the other party's siege equipment had moved forward long ago. In addition to attacking the city gate, the other party's sinner began to clear the siege equipment on the wall at a fixed point. The commander of the pass stood at the city heading at the head of the city looking at the army under the city, murmured, "It's over, it's all over." Then he raised his head and saw a huge fireball hitting him.

********************

Emergency report, the Dias attacked in full swing!

As one messenger after another ran in and out, Andy held his forehead and his defense was broken through by the opponent in one day.

The opponent has been waiting for the opportunity. If they continue to stick to the defensive restructuring front now, they can stop the Dias. Their grand duke Elino Dia is not here. The Dias lacks elites to attack. As long as they stick to the Dias' spirit begins to fade and casualties begin to grow, their mages and siege equipment cannot always maintain a good condition.

Dia's Knights should be in Sariya Fort. They are not familiar with the land in Leiden, and even if some maps pose a limited threat, if the remaining noble organizations are directly summoned, even if they cannot regain Sariya Fort, they can at least trap the Dia people in Sariya Fort.

Now a large number of nobles are panicked. They no longer respond to the king's call. The first thing they think about is how to preserve their territory. This is not a simple question of the selfishness of the nobles, but a legacy of the long-term internal division of Leiden. The royal family and the nobles of the two previous principalities have many conflicts with each other, so they cannot unite when encountering difficulties. They both hope that the other two factions will be unlucky and take advantage of themselves. They all understand this kind of thing, but no one dares to let go of prejudice. After all, people are terrifying. How do you know that after you are loyal to the country, will your opponent give you glorious and due benefits, or will you take advantage of your weakness to hang your whole family on the gallows when you are weak.

So now the country cannot gather reserves to deal with this accident. Before going out, King Leiden gave him all the troops he could give to Andy. That's what he meant.

Sir, we must make a decision

If we retreat, it will become a retreat...

If we don't go, even if we win, we will die

How many people can Elino Dia have and how many people he can lead, this little person cannot destroy Leiden! If he really has entered the country, he can completely join forces and join us to eat or attack Leiden's Royal City directly!

Sir, you've lost your word...

Andy was silent. He knew he had lost his word, but the current situation was completely different from what he expected. He expected Dia's invasion, but he did not expect the process. He was good at coordinating and the method he used to seek stability in the war. In fact, Dia's troops were relatively small and did not use any additional operations. Seeking stability was the best way to deal with it.

And now the situation exceeded his expectations, he himself panicked

You seem to have forgotten that he didn't bring many people when Green started to make his fortune...

What defeated Andy was the edict of King Leiden, who asked Andy to return to the country to rescue and quell the chaos. This was the death penalty for Andy. Even if he could really return to the army to stabilize the front line and keep Leiden from perishing, he had lost so many people, lost land and dead nobles were enough to judge him ten thousand times, even if he was the king's son-in-law.

At this point, Andy was no longer impatient. During the few days of Dia's crazy attack, the defense line was lost one after another. Of course, there were some reasons why Andy deliberately gave up some defense lines.

He hummed a small song, used his strengths, and arranged one army after another to go to the rear. This is what he is good at

Sir, aren't you ready yet?

What are you preparing? Have the civilians nearby sent orders to take refuge? Please hide. The Dias will not be so crazy that they killed all the civilians. No matter who laughs the last, they will have to rule something, right?

As much as possible, we have not enough staff, and there are no troops, many villages and towns will not listen to us... Sir, you should pack up and prepare to retreat

I'm ready

Andy packed the things that King Leiden gave him and took them out

Bring it back to His Majesty

What about you?

I can't go back anymore. Let me do my last loyalty for Your Majesty. Thank you for lifting me out of the crowd of civilians and giving me a dreamlike life. Now the dream is about to wake up.

********************

Jacob was a little confused about the recent progress so fast, thinking that the Leidens were probably preparing to lure them, but sent a large number of scouts and the mages didn't find anything. Jacob didn't understand strategy, so he is now more conservative than the nobles.

Now that the Leidens are retreating in full swing, we should step up our pursuit!

The Grand Duke is surrounded now. If there is something wrong with the Grand Duke, can you bear the responsibility?

I just hope to not act rashly before getting enough information...

In the past, Jacob wanted to force the nobles to send troops, but now the nobles said they were too conservative and they would miss this opportunity.

There is naturally a reason for this transformation. This time, the nobles who supported Elinor had the right to pioneer, but the premise was that they had to defeat the main force of Leiden to eliminate the Leiden royal family and could develop safely, otherwise they would not be able to become their own. So what they thought now was to advance as soon as possible, catch up with Leiden's retreating army, and eat as much as possible.

Jacob is surrounded by nobles every day and his mind is almost blown up. He is the prime minister. He doesn't understand military affairs and can't suppress these hungry nobles. Now Jacob feels that he is holding a beast that stands taller than a human. There is a plate of meat in front of the beast. He can't hold it. Who knows if this meat is poisonous.

Everyone, quiet, quiet, let me talk to Prime Minister Jacob, I will persuade him

The nobles saw Bishop Ritchie from the Temple of War and knew that although the bishop looked bad, he was mainly obese, so he looked a little vulgar and had nothing to do with the sacred, he was considered a celebrity in front of Elinor, and he said he would rather let him try it, so he left the conference room one after another.

Thank you for your hard work, Prime Minister

Looking at the water handed over by Ritchie, Jacob felt that this person was really a bit of that, but he still didn't show it.

I have a great headache. You know I don’t understand military affairs. When I encounter such a thing, it’s hard for me to make a judgment. The Grand Duke handed over the army to me, and I’m very scared...

I understand, many people cannot become generals because they are afraid of the unknown. They do not know whether it is the divine realm or the demon realm. After all, they will not be as confident and heartless as the grand duke.

Jacob laughed out loud when he heard it, but he coughed twice

Well, he can occasionally... Forget it, if you want to convince me, you have to come up with something that is enough to convince me.

Prime Minister, it has been more than a month since we invaded Leiden. The temple of Leiden did not take us seriously at first, but in the past few days, they have found us and are willing to cooperate.

Jacob looked up at Ritchie and stared for a while

Don't look at me like this, we won't betray you. Do you know what life we ​​lived in the past?

Speaking of which, I am a bishop, and I always ask for donations in a low voice. Every day, I open my eyes and eat, drink, defecate and urinate the temple. I tear the east walls and repair the west walls everywhere, and sell our things everywhere. I am born with such fatness, and I can only drink water... You know, I am just a little lustful, because most women look down on fat people like me. Even if I have the title of bishop, I am really not greedy...

Jacob waved his hand

OK, let's talk about the key points

Since the Grand Duke changed its policy, we finally began to receive enough donations and large-scale improvements in life. Do we know that we have money? Compared with our colleagues in the south, we have money and are well-fed and well-dressed Prime Minister Jacob, you may be able to question their beliefs. After all, some people join the temple are not really crazy believers, but you should believe that some of them have a desire for money. They long for themselves and can be like us. They hope that Leiden can be the same as Dia. Leiden can not give it to Dia, so they are willing to cooperate with us to protect the nobles this time. We have negotiated the benefits of protecting the nobles. They can get at least 70%! I gave them 70% in order to support the Grand Duke's cause. You really should not question us.

Jacob closed his eyes, tangled for a while and then slapped the table

Then let them provide detailed information, we will attack, so that the nobles will be better prepared

Prime Minister wise

Dia began to pursue the Leiden army in full swing, but because he lost the best time to pursue and Andy made preparations in advance, he did not cause a large-scale collapse.

Dia's troops caught up with Leiden's rear troops in a basin. This was an unappreciative battle for later generations, because the commanders of both sides were not a serious soldier or not. This was a battle commanded by two civil servants.

Are there only these people left on the other side?

Jacob's deputy general knew that the prime minister was still cautious. Although he was dissatisfied with his delay in the war, he was not easy to say anything. He did have his own considerations. If something really happened to such a war, no one could afford it.

The opponent only had three thousand infantrymen behind the palace. The cavalry had long evacuated. We arranged sentry detectives around us, and with the help of mages, our troops were far more powerful than the opponent, which was enough for all the situation.

Jacob thought to himself what if the opponent's main force comes back?

But I didn't ask for this

This time Dia sent fewer troops than Leiden. After all, one was a principality and the other was a kingdom. Moreover, Dia was not stable within it and had to defend against the invasion of the north. It can be said that Dia was only a little more than one-third of the opponent's total force, which was also a reason for Jacob's lack of confidence.

The deputy general on the side seemed to see Jacob's question and took the initiative to explain to him.

The battle is not something you want to fight. Everyone will not attack the opponent's military formations like adults, even if they are raiding, it takes a certain amount of time to arrange the array to have enough power. Moreover, the cavalry's charge distance cannot be too far. Our opponents cannot come over from thousands of meters away in full armed manner, and then charge directly without resting. It seems that we have the advantage now, but we do not take the initiative to attack immediately, but stop the array and speed up the rest.

Oh, since that's the case, I'll leave it to you. Let's persuade you to surrender again. If the grand duke is not here, I'll guarantee it in my name. As long as they put down their weapons, they won't kill innocent people indiscriminately and ensure their safety.

The deputy general nodded. Although the prime minister was a little pedantic, he could still listen to advice and did not interfere in specific matters. Fortunately,

As the flag verb was played, the soldiers guarded in front began to retreat. The soldiers who had already rested for a while began to line up. The soldiers in the front row began to put on their armor and shields. The entire military formation began with the horn and flag verb. If a awakened beast

A cavalry held a white flag and went to the other party's military formation. His side was in an advantage. If he could persuade him to surrender, it would be better than a war. War does not mean that the advantage had to start a war. It was just that the other party, as the troops behind the palace, was mostly futile. As a result, the cavalry came back soon.

The Prime Minister has already made a statement to the other party, and the other party refuses

Who is the other party?

Andy Leiden, who is said to be the son-in-law of King Leiden, thanks for your kindness, but he says that he has the duty of defending the land as a member of the royal family and cannot surrender.

Then let's just follow his wishes. Three thousand pure infantry soldiers

Prime Minister, sometimes the troops are not so much compared. Those are the three thousand infantry soldiers, but what are they doing here alone...

Both wings are protected by cavalry, and Dia's military formation begins to move forward, and the battlefield is selected by the other party, so it is naturally more beneficial to the other party.

Andy is not proficient in specific battles, and he allocates tasks to his subordinates for processing.

After Dia's forward passed the first line of defense, Leiden's archers began to shoot, with the target of the armor-free infantry in the back row. Of course, the idea was good, but Dia's mage disrupted the wind direction, and the distance of the arrow was calculated. Coupled with the protection spell of the military priest, this tentative attack can be said to be a failure.

Seeing that the other party had already started shooting archers, Dia's archers mixed in the army also began to shoot. This design generally only threatens or disrupts morale, but Dia's arrows did not cause much substantial damage to the Leiden people. Leiden's soldiers were heavy infantry. According to the observations of the scouts, about one hundred people were full plate armor. Even if they were not knights, these human-shaped cans were not easy to deal with.

About a thousand soldiers were wearing breastplates, carrying large shields, armored pieces tied to their arms and legs, and carrying helmets.

The remaining soldiers are only mail and helmets and shields, while leather or cloth armor are added in other places.

Such infantry is a relatively difficult bone to crack. Also, because there are many mines in the Eastern Kingdoms, it is possible to extract such weapons at this scale.

As both sides began their first round of battle, it should be said that they were not able to decide any victory or defeat, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Dia had an absolute advantage in military strength and did not immediately defeat the opponent, which was a poor performance.

The equipment of the Dias cannot be said to be poor, but Jacob led the noble coalition. The coalition has a problem. Their coordination is a little problem. Even if they have been together for a while, they cannot eliminate the barriers between them, because they are affiliated with the nobles of each family. Once the main force of Leiden is eliminated, they will immediately disperse and follow their respective masters to start seizing the territory. Therefore, there will always be some dissonance in command, so even outsiders like Jacob can see clearly.

The other party is so handsome that he is so handsome. I really should kill a few people to sacrifice the flag.

Prime Minister, please be careful not to be impatient. The other party's heavy infantry is also elite, and the fighting will to perform the mission behind the palace is tenacious enough. As long as you eat this army, it will be a heavy blow to Leiden.

Then why did they stay behind the palace?

I don't know, if the other party intends to use this force to consume us and fight back, there will be no troops around. We have asked the mage to help detect that there is no large-scale Leiden army gathering around, and there are no small-scale ones. If you rush to the battlefield beyond the distance, you will be unable to exert your normal combat effectiveness due to fatigue. So I concluded that this force is seeking death.

Want to die...

So, the Prime Minister, the other party is a battle of trapped beasts. If we directly press our people up, we can end the battle faster, but the losses will be greater. The dissatisfaction of the nobles will intensify. Now this is indeed a bit... The fight is not very good, but the losses will be smaller. Heavy equipment is also a burden for infantrymen. It won't take long to get tired of the heavy armor, and our people can keep rotating.

Jacob nodded and agreed to the deputy general's opinion. The other party made a reasonable and well-founded statement. If you don't understand military affairs, don't interfere too much.

The battle lasted from morning to afternoon, and seeing that it was almost sunset, Jacob finally lost his patience

Mandel, let the mages destroy the enemy's resistance

My mages have been maintaining detection, they have...

Mandel chose to shut up when he saw Jacob's eyes

You seem to have started to shirk some responsibility Mandel. We have been stuck here for a long time. You seem to have forgotten how they were driven by others before. If Dia doesn't exist, whether you can still exist? This is a question. Even this is your own suggestion. If the mage under your command does not listen to you, then I will suggest that the grand duke change his person to manage it. Now it is wartime, and I will use wartime methods to deal with it.

It was me who made a mistake, but this time the mages are all newcomers and they voluntarily join us, so I hope they can feel the difference between us and other forces and give me some time

If you can't convince them, I'll use my method

I see

Mandel saluted and left in a hurry

********************

The Leidens suffered serious losses. In addition to the large number of personnel losses, the rest of the people were also in a state of overdrawn physical strength. Except for the soldiers who were like knights fighting in armor, they would soon fall into a state of fatigue. Dia could keep the army rotated continuously, but they did not have it.

Today, the whole day of fighting, Andy was magically uninjured. He was not wearing armor. Many people around him were shot, but he was just fine.

Commander, the Dias have lost patience, and their mages have begun to attack us

Ah, I saw it

Commander, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet...

I asked them to go around in a circle and raid them from behind Dia, perhaps because the road was difficult to walk, or maybe they were dragged down by the Dia's army.

We will win, right? We will drive the Dias back, right?

Ah, we will win, we can not only drive the other party back, we can also score into Dia

Then I might be able to steal a wife...

Andy felt that the hand he was holding lost strength and let go. The child lying beside him was still very young. Because he was running errands for him, he would occasionally talk to him.

This child is the son of the blacksmith family. Because blacksmiths need strength, he is quite strong and has such a little blacksmith's skills. He almost forced him into the army during the recruitment. The young man is simple and obedient, and he knows a few words, so I don't know why I got to Andy to run errands.

He had no ideals, just thinking that when the war was over, he went home and continued to make a blacksmith shop. If he could make some money, he could buy down the house next to his home, and living with his parents. Being able to marry an ordinary woman as a wife and having a few children is his biggest dream.

Now one of his arms was burned to carbon by fireball techniques, and there were still several arrows on his body, and his eyes had lost their spirits.

Sorry... I lied to you, I lied to everyone...

As the Diaman mage joined the battle, Leiden's final beast-hiding fight also collapsed. Fireball is the most basic skill of a mage, but for ordinary people, being hit is death. Even knights are difficult to resist with fighting spirit, and it consumes a lot. The best way to deal with it is to avoid it by virtue of body skills.

The Dias had already squeezed the Leidens into a very small area, and there was no place for them to dodge. Even the knight's fighting spirit had been exhausted, and the archer had already shot all the arrows or was shot to death by the opponent. He could only watch the opponent's mage killing them at close range without any help. At this point, it was completely over, and Andy still did not order surrender. The Dias who had been killing the red-eyed all day were not ready to let these people surrender.

In the afterglow of the sunset, a Dia's knight passed by Andy and cut off his handsome flag. Andy raised his head and looked around. He was the only one of the Leidens in the entire battlefield.

It's over

The Knight next to him was stunned for a moment, and replied politely

Yes, you guys are brave, but we won

Andy stood up and dragged his body forward. The Dias who cleaned the battlefield along the way seemed to care about him. He, a civil servant with no power, looked like a big shot. He walked to the front of Jacob before he was stopped.

Andy looked at Jacob and then smiled

How I hope I can change my position with you...

Jacob laughed, too

Everyone likes to be a winner

Andy shook his head

My family was very poor since childhood, but even if ordinary people still can't afford to pay for my study, so my study journey was very hard. In order to be able to study, I tried all kinds of ways and gave up a lot of things, including my dignity and the knights who wanted to change their own destiny. I also hoped to change my own destiny. However, the more I read, the more desperate I became. Books give people knowledge and wisdom, allowing me to see the world clearly. But sometimes, the clearer I saw, the more I saw it.The more desperate I was, until I was attracted by King Leiden, he promoted me in an extraordinary way. When the so-called Grand Duke Dia was a small knight of Valen, I had already mobilized 100,000 coalition forces to attack the Williams Empire. When you are just a small adviser around the city lord, King Leiden was already thinking about how to win over me when I heard your rising voice. I would sigh, Ah, there are also lucky people in this world. I thought I was the chosen son of God. You will only be a contribution to my merits, but unfortunately I was wrong.

Things are unpredictable

For Jacob, his youth was the most ridiculous day. At that time, he was a royal family, and had some money at home. He had read a lot of books. He was often praised for his cleverness. His favorite thing was art, and of course he also had food, drink, and whore. He ate and drank with rich people every day. Then he woke up every day and lay on the bed with different women. He didn't bet, and his life was comfortable.

Of course, Hongye faked his identity and was also a pedan who was born in poor families who were not satisfied with talent, so he did have some resonance with talent but did not feel anything about life.

And he felt that Andy had posted these words too much. Although Andy did participate in the invasion of Williams by the Eastern Kingdoms coalition and was indeed the general dispatcher, he was not qualified to decide on the specific battles and battlefields, so he just comforted him with perfunctory words out of politeness.

This is not my failure, it is Leiden's failure. Even if such a thing happens in another country, your grand duke will not be able to reach this point. What you are occupying is just a material storage place in the rear. Although I don't know how he did it, it is indeed amazing that Leiden doesn't have the power at this time. He can raise more materials and pull the domestic garrison troops over to siege. Your grand duke has not many troops. As long as he is limited to one range, he will not be able to make a fortune.

You underestimate him too much...

Elino is best at fighting the garbage force. It is probably not possible for the domestic garrison troops in Leiden to stop that person.

Maybe, what I said is just a way, of course, I mobilized some elite infantry from the front line to go back, for example, I led the rear of the temple or gave up the front line and set up a pocket to lure you into traps. As long as you knock you down and clean him up, it would not be difficult to change the country. I also have the confidence to save half of the country and then make plans. Unfortunately, this is Leiden... After knowing that Sariya Fort was seized, the local nobles were in chaos, and some nobles even disobeyed and went back directly, while the other nobles transferred all the cavalry, of course you wouldAsk the cavalry to rush back, what's the use? The cavalry can't siege, but after hearing that your grand duke began to burn, kill and loot everywhere, they hurriedly transferred the cavalry back to protect their territory from harassment. The three factions split into checks and balances between the three factions. It's good to balance it. Once there is a problem, it's like this. They all looked at their own. They couldn't imagine that the front line would collapse sooner or later, or they thought about it, but they were unwilling to pay such a price now. As for whether they would pay more in the future, hoho...

I'm not easier than you

Perhaps there was too much talk and Andy was a little dry-mouthed, so he took off the water bag on the waist of the soldier who stopped him and fed it.

I know, we are not relaxed... I guess you have two questions, why I brought people here in the palace, and I came over to tell you why these are, right

Jacob nodded

Leiden is finished. From the breaking of the border, Leiden is finished. The nobles began to take care of their own. Maybe they formed a small alliance. They will be quickly defeated in front of you. These idiots, hoho, my king, may not be willing to accept their fate. So I helped him accept his fate and let me give me a sentence. The capital of the royal family of Elino Dia was already paid for me. They had no capital for rebellion. Please let them go. If the country was lost, there would be a bloody seizure of power within the royal family. But I left some troops for my king, which was enough for him to suppress the rebellion. If the royal family of Dia was killed, then the rest would beEven if I am not happy, I will form an alliance to deal with him. So I ask the Grand Duke Dia to be compassionate and let the Leiden royal family have a way of life. My king promoted me. I lost and I can't repay him. I am not sure he will listen to my advice. So I can only leave a way for him with my own way. Or, I am forcing him to surrender. I hope Grand Duke Dia will carefully consider a former royal family that has lost its country and has been eyed by other nobles after civil strife. In the future, I can only survive and cannot threaten his worship. I worshiped the Grand Duke. He is not here. Please give me a word for me.

Andy knelt down and bowed to Jacob devoutly, then stood up and patted the ashes on his legs.

Why don't you say these words to him by yourself

King Leiden, I was so kind to know that I was not able to repay him, and I also let him lose the kingdom. I deceived my soldiers and told them that there were reinforcements and they would win, so they fought here until they died, a defeated general, a liar, and what face should I have to continue to live. I am proud in my heart. I claim to be chosen by God, but in the end I will be just a stepping stone for you.

Andy returned the water bag to the soldiers, then pulled out the soldiers' sword and was immediately restrained. The soldiers around him raised their spears nervously and looked at Andy. Jacob said to him, and the soldiers stood back to their positions.

Andy held the sword and said thank you. Then, using the afterglow of the setting sun, she cut her neck with her sword, fell down on her back, and looked at the sky with her eyes blankly.

The sky is so beautiful...

********************

Jacob watched the other party fall silently, and after a while, a soldier went over and pasted him with his fingers on Andy's nose.

Prime Minister, he is dead

Burial, also a loyal minister

Today's day's battle was a bit embarrassing for Dia, but it was not a loss. He ate one of the heavy infantry behind the hall and lost not much. He could use the seized armor quickly and killed the opponent's commander. The battle behind should be much easier.

But Jacob was not at ease with his worries now. The decisive battle was also taking place in the north of the empire, and the Saria Fort in the south was also being besieged. It can only be said that they won by chance today, that's all.

Elino was just running underground at this time. This march was a severe test for Elino's initial guards.

Grand Duke, we must rest. The cavalry without fighting can't stand it like this, and the horses must rest.

How many people are behind?

Dozens, or hundreds, you have to count them to know

Forget it, what can I do if I know, don't worry about it

They'll catch up

Along the underground passage, the dwarves were simply repaired, some supply points were set up, and there were even horses to prevent the knights from changing horses. Even if they were left behind, it was very dangerous, because although there was nothing on the road in the underground passage, you didn't know what was in some branches. They might not dare to do anything when passing by, but if they were alone, it would be difficult to guarantee that they were attacked by something.

The team stopped at the supply point. Here were several dwarves who helped them guard the supplies. The remaining knights began to set up pots to cook. No one expected that the knights who were fighting angrily were cooking. Some of the cavalry who were not fighting angrily came down from the horse and found a place to fall asleep.

Elino inspected the tour, and could not get any news underground, and did not know the current time and the situation outside, so he was not in a good mood. Such troops were not combat-capable, and even if they arrived, they had to rest. Although the arrangements were made, the nobles were fence-bearers. They promised you what they had promised, and they would sell you when they saw your decline. This time they were really playing with fire. If they win, they would win thoroughly. The north would no longer have the power to go south, and the south would be conquered by themselves.

In the past, I had nothing but a bad life, so I was not afraid of anything, and I didn’t care about the more I had, the more I couldn’t bear it, and the more I was afraid…

Ophelia never urged him anything, but the lines showed her difficulty and anxiety. Elinor knew that Ophelia was actually urging him, but she was just tactful in this way, and she took this set again

Elinor didn't look at the food handed over by his subordinates and ate it without looking at it. A bowl of soup, a piece of bread and a little bacon. I can only say that I can be full, that's enough.

Grand Duke, take a break for a while, the dwarf will help us alert

You guys go to bed, I can't sleep

Ellino was walking aimlessly near the station, not knowing what he was thinking, but just simple and unable to sleep

More than one Elino can't sleep, and Loga Barron can't sleep now. Green's field army was staying on the northern border at that time to resist the magic disaster. Although the losses were heavy, these field army had been in a state of combat readiness over the years and had absorbed some extraordinary people who escaped from the northern wasteland. The number of this army was not large, but it was much more people under his command, and its combat power was stronger.

Elino handed over all the garrison troops that could be drawn in Dia and the troops that were mobilized from the nobles, and he could only rely on the defense of the pass to barely resist.

Moreover, the nobles behind them have begun to take action. There are two outposts they have arranged behind them and have not sent reports on time. Under the reflection of the candlelight, the veteran's brows are getting tighter and tighter.

Go and contact the sin... Bah, I can't change my mouth, please help me contact the lady

Now?

Just now, go now!

As a mage, Nanni can actually be regarded as a night owl. After all, the day is too noisy for her. Even with soundproof barriers, many mages prefer night and can be alone quietly. But now she looks up right and looks out the door, frowning.

There is no battle outside tonight

Nanni whispered. As a genuine mage of the Magic Empire, Nanniko is not only proficient in magic. She was indeed a research-oriented mage at the beginning, but later she was trained by the Magic Legion and was transferred to the intelligence department. Of course, excellent punishment does not mean that her future actions are excellent enough... So Nanni's room is surrounded by detecting sentry magic traps, and there are also some detecting sentries outside and inside the pass. To be precise, although she has not done everything at the control level, anyone who is approaching her room will definitely know.

With the knock on the door, Nanni still asked who it was, even though she knew who it was.

Miss,

Lord Luo Jia has urgent matters, please go and discuss it now

good

Nanni put on a hooded robe, picked up her staff and wore a sword and opened the door. The people here were used to her outfit. Until now, everyone here only knew that the mage was a woman, her name was, and she didn't know what she looked like.

Nannie wore a hood and a little magic that affects her vision, so that even if she wanted to stare at her, she could not see her face clearly. The few people who could see her face clearly did not dare to stare at her for some reason.

Madam, I'm sorry to bother you so late

Loga waved his hand, and the servant who was running errands consciously left the room and closed the door.

To be precise, I can't even keep the present without you

Luo Jia dared not look down on the woman in front of him. In the education he received since childhood, the mages were despicable and timid, and only knew how to attack. Once they were close to the warrior, they would be killed.

For Grand Duke Dia to come here, it was completely unnecessary, but in fact, Nanni's performance made Luoga know that she was outrageously wrong.

Green was directly disrupted by her first siege by an ice storm in a range. The magic of range attack really means lethality. A mage has limited damage, but it disrupts the opponent's deployment and route.

Then he was countered by Green's mage. Phelps also had a very strong mage around him. At least Loga knew about this before. As for how strong that mage was, Loga had no idea. He only knew that the royal family could be said to be three generations.

The result was shocking. The mage overestimated his ability to fight against Nanni. Nanni was too lazy to use magic, and also Fukun directly slaughtered the opponent with a sword. It turned out that the mage would also use a sword. Luo Jia had a new understanding of the mage. He could float. Elemental damage was applied to the sword. The mage who used protection techniques and various enhancement techniques on his body was not inferior to the knight in melee combat.

That's why I'm here

Elino sent Nanny over to know that it would be difficult for Loga to face Phelps even if it was difficult to defend.

What a pity, I can't hold on anymore, lady, come and check out the map

Nanni's eyes followed Luoga's finger and looked at the map

The Grand Duke had long told me that some nobles in the Duke would rebel, so I left a large number of guard posts in the rear. After all, the cavalry was useless for defending the city...

Since it is inevitable, why not deal with it in advance?

Luo Jia smiled at Nanni's interruption. The mage's way of thinking was the same as the rumors. In the past, they were powerful and could do whatever they wanted. In fact, the world is different from the past. There is no legitimate reason. If you deal with a noble family, it will cause other nobles to fear you. With more people like this, the country will not be able to maintain it.

If you have time, you can ask the Grand Duke for advice. I will only talk about the result. Today I did not receive a fixed contact here. If the post here is removed, it means that they should be here at least now.

Nanni looked at the map and estimated for a while

You said at least

Yes, we don’t have much time left, can we help?

What do you need me to do

People with your status will definitely not be able to live and die with me, the old guy. Take my son out. I think you have a way.

It is naturally impossible for Nanni to live and die with Luoga. Ellino asked Nanni to help him. Naturally, he could leave when it was critical. Moreover, Ellino wanted Nanni to leave. Never do anything self-sacrifice. Nanni does have her own way to leave the battlefield, of course she is just herself.

Why did you take your son with me? I remember Ellino gave you a choice you can not bring.

This question is complicated. What would I think with the soldiers under my son? Although they don’t know so many things, when they see me bringing my son, they will think that if the adults even carry their own son, then this time it will probably not be so dangerous. After all, who will take risks with their children? They will feel more relaxed psychologically and have more confidence. Adults will also feel that I will even bring my son with me. That must be very confident and more at ease with me. Even my opponent will think that this guy can still take his son in such a dangerous place. He must be careful.

After thinking a little, Nanni accepted the answer

It’s okay for me to leave. Will you continue to fulfill your mission after I leave?

Look, I handed my son to you. Do you think I am trustworthy?

Nanni was a little speechless, but she nodded and admitted, while the old man smiled

I want to say a few words to my son. Please wait a little while. If you want to pack up your things, you can go pack now. Let's leave tonight. Secretly, don't let people notice it.

Nanni didn't have much to pack, but in order to leave some space for Loka, she still made an excuse to pack her luggage and leave. Loga called her son over.

How are my grandson and great-grandson doing recently?

Have been properly placed, and the letter said it was good

That's good

After a moment of silence, Luo Jia saw that his son's hair began to turn white. As an extraordinary person, he was over seventy years old. Although he was almost thirty, he had his first son. Now his son is over forty years old, and his son has held his grandson.

Think about it occasionally, I am still sitting in this position today. You should be a little resentful towards me. Don’t rush to deny it. I am also your grandfather’s son. Every father has been a son. Look at the map.

Loga's son soon saw the problem

I saw it? It’s not in vain to be by my side over the years. It’s no problem to be a successful head of the family.

You have to walk your own way, I can only give you some advice. Even if the continent is unified, the dynasty will eventually decline. Don’t forget the family-born food guys, don’t raise them as pigs.

Father, I don’t understand why you came here to take this appointment! You, you want to go now...

Yes, I'm going to die

Loga pressed his son back onto the chair

I have lived long enough, but in fact you have complained about me a long time ago, and the other families have not been much better. Since the separation of the family, they have made more and more small moves, and they are constantly trying to resist the family's big. This is the case, internal and external troubles, so when Elino came to me, I decided to take advantage of his weakness and trick him into making a fuss.

Even if the family's territory is doubled, it will not be worth your life, and these places are not managed by us. Reintegration will take a lot of time and manpower.

Loga took a key from his neck, opened a box in the room, and took out a letter

If there was only a little fief, how could I be satisfied? The other party paid enough price, so I chose to devote my loyalty to this so-called Dia, this Elino was the princess of the Williams Empire. In the future, the Eastern Kingdoms will be incorporated into Williams, and he will eventually return to Williams. The area here is remote, so I have to leave some trustworthy loyal ministers as the nobles who are the loyal ministers who are stable and surveillance places. Whoever contributes more is this is the appointment letter of the royal family of the Williams Empire, with the royal seal and the princess' signature

Loga looks at his son

Your father lives too long, sometimes he has a stubborn temper, and ignores your thoughts. Maybe I should hand over the position as early as other old men, as someone who occasionally comes out to clean up the mess when you can't solve the problem

Father

Loga's son stood up again, his eyes were a little wet. His father generally would not talk to him about these things. Today he was talking to him, and that was to explain his affairs.

Okay, okay, your father, I have been a warrior all my life, I can't stand it. It's not easy for me to get this appointment. This is equivalent to admitting in disguise that you will be a duke in the future. For this reason, it is worth pushing everything onto the gambling table. Of course, the premise is to live. You have to follow that lady tonight. For the sake of your family, you have to survive well. Even if you win, it will take a lot of time and energy to reign on your new territory. The contact with those families is broken. Your uncles are more or less dissatisfied with me in charge of this family back then. As for your cousins, I don't have much affection for you over the years. I always feel that you have made a profit. Since they all think so, I might as well make a profit.

Loga locked the appointment book back into the box, then hung the key around his son's neck, and stuffed the appointment book into his hand.

Don’t take anything, just take this with you. This Elino Grand Duke. Don’t hold a grudge against him. If a family wants to develop, it will always pay some price. It doesn’t mean that you can just enjoy it if you become the head of the family. You must understand that sitting in the position of the head of the family, your responsibilities are heavier and you have to pay more, rather than simply enjoy it.

Yes, father

Go, I want to say a lot. I haven't had a good chat with you over the years. It's my mistake, but I think you are an adult and don't need to explain so much. It's boring. Don't let the surname Barron go, you know what to do.

After sending his son away, Luoga made up his mind. When he took on this task, he thought that he would probably die. If he really gave him away, he was over seventy years old and could still earn the best development opportunity for the family. It would not be a loss.

********************

Phelps Green was very angry after siege repeatedly and failed to win any results.

This old guy, Loga, wanted to deal with it before, but this guy is located on the border and has control over the army. He is considered a real power aristocrat. He is not a nobleman in the mainland who has some money and only has private soldiers. It is difficult to deal with. At that time, I didn't think that guy was a loyal minister.

When Green split, his attitude was not obvious, he had no obvious agreement or objection. If he sent troops, Vien would be trapped in the royal city. At that time, he wrote one letter after another and fell into the sea, and the other party ignored him at all.

What a shit Dia suddenly rose and beat Vien to the ground to find teeth. If he could bring his troops back then, he could have cleaned up them all, but was dragged down by the tide of monsters in the north.

Now the snowfield can finally be said to be no longer making noise. Although there are monsters, they will not go south to attack the border after they die. Phelps can finally let go and prepare to deal with this Dia. After all, the country was established for a short time, the nobles' loyalty is very low, and the Grand Duke Dia really thought he had the ability to defeat half of Green, but he was just a fool who had lost his luck. He didn't stabilize the country first and instead fought against Leiden in the south. Is there a better opportunity than this?

No more

So Phelps drew all Green's field troops and a large number of garrison troops to prepare to fight back

All the ideas were very good. He thought he could easily get the lost back without any resistance along the way, but the first battle went wrong.

Is there something wrong with this Loga? He has been a traitor all his life and is almost buried in the land. He has to be a loyal minister of Dia who has only been established for a few months. Since he is seeking death, he will help you!

Phelps looked at the city wall that was a little broken but still stood in his sight and cursed fiercely. A knight quickly stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and handed a letter to Phelps. Phelps opened the letter impatiently, glanced and snorted coldly.

Those bastards have finally arrived. Now, even if you want to talk, wait until my army really comes in, and then deal with you.

The rebel nobles inside Dia gathered their own private soldiers and surrounded them from the rear of the pass.

It’s not that there are no walls behind the pass, but that the rear is not as strong and dangerous as the front. And once the pass is surrounded from the rear, even if the commander wants to continue to hold on, the morale of the soldiers will drop significantly, and more places needing defense means that the defensive forces are short of

Take down the city tomorrow

Yes, Your Majesty

Today is an extremely bloody day. The Greens, who failed repeatedly in siege, have put all their might into the attack today. They know that the rear of the pass has been surrounded, and Loga has also sent his guards to the front line. The repeated struggles between the two sides for the city wall have not stopped. Even if there are extraordinary people, most of the soldiers are still mortals. Blood dyed the city wall red, and a small section of the city wall collapsed. The two sides surrounded the gap and fought each other until the body blocked the gap.

Why haven't you conquered it yet?

Phelps kept walking around the place, like an anxious wolf

Your Majesty, we will win in the end

I fucking know! I have more army than him, stronger combat power than him, and more strong people than him, what does he have?

A city wall, a city wall will stump you? I thought I was leading a strong army that could gallop across this continent. As a result, if you fight a pass like this, you will definitely win? You have failed to capture this pass for the first time and threw my face in. What would those nobles think of me, but that!

The subordinates who were squirted by Phelps looked bad, they were better than each other, and they didn't want to live, and they didn't understand why the other party could live, and they had encountered such things as never to fight to the death, but they were elites. What are the elites here?

Those who would rather use their own body to block the opponent's sword than create opportunities for their companions. Those who jumped off the city wall with their opponents, even if they were a wounded soldier lying on the ground, looked almost dead. No matter how hard they might even stab their calves with a dagger, it seemed unreasonable to the Greens. At least they remembered that their army, even the army on the southern border, had not reached this level of fighting will.

********************

In fact, at the beginning, Loga's subordinates did not have a strong fighting will. At the beginning, he placed his guard on the city wall to block the first wave of siege. This was very important for defending the city. The first attack was crucial. After blocking the first time, he slowly filled the garrison troops into the front line, so that they could adapt, so that they felt that the enemy was just like this. With the city wall and terrain, they could win.

After the pass was completely besieged, Luoga summoned all the soldiers.

Soldiers, I have bad news to tell you, we were surrounded, those despicable nobles betrayed us, surrounded by the rear of the pass, and this place became a Jedi

The soldiers were in an uproar, including Loga's own guard, which was not spared. This was also the normal reaction of the soldiers. When facing death, few people can guarantee calmness.

I gathered everyone together and wanted to discuss with you and see what to do next. I hope everyone can listen to me quietly.

The soldiers slowly calmed down and wanted to hear what their commander wanted to say

In fact, there are only two ways, either to die in battle or surrender. If there is one, no one should want to die.

That's right, so are you going to take us to surrender?

I don't know where a voice came out. Luo Jia didn't see where anyone dared to ask this question, because it's meaningless to do such a thing, but someone just expressed the thoughts of many people.

I don't plan to do it because we have resisted here for many days. We are traitors and thieves to the Greens, so they want to kill us to declare the consequences of the resistance. The noble coalition behind us will take us as a letter of fame and declare our loyalty to our old masters, and will not let us go. Therefore, even if we surrender, it will be difficult for us to survive. Maybe I, the old man, are afraid of it because of the status of a nobleman, and it is hard for you to say

Since it's all dead end, it's no different from surrendering and being hanged at the last moment, right?

It seems that there is no difference, but when we come to this world and walk around, even if this world is a bit fucked, we have to leave something, right

Loga's beard waved and asked his personal soldiers to carry out several boxes. After opening it, there was no gold, silver and jewelry inside, but the list

I have recorded every soldier in this pass, the name of the knight, including your family, and the address is literate, you can read it yourself. It's okay, this is a copy, I'm not here, I'm not going to record your name, and I'll turn the blame to you or settle the score with you, but I want to tell you, every soldier here, your family doesn't have to worry about your future life, every knight, fiefdom and inherit at least three generations, unless I'll pay for the heir, buy your life, buy today, fight here and shed the last drop of blood, the roster will be left in the mainland, I will die here with you, my son will fulfill my promise and let your family live a carefree life

When Loga chose manpower, he did not choose the kind of person who had nothing, but chose the kind of person who had a family, had a better relationship with his family, and was more family-oriented. When the superior was willing to live and die together, the soldiers would feel better.

Even if we resist negatively here, we will die anyway, isn't it the same...

Yes, anyway, if everyone dies in the end, my son will fulfill his promise, but you think clearly, if you put down your weapons and stop resisting, will my promise still take effect after Green's army march straight in? I am a traitor to Green. My offspring will be killed and the fiefdom will be divided. What will happen to the people on the fiefdom? What will your family be like? Can the promise be fulfilled? We are fighting here today and delaying Green's footsteps here to create an opportunity for the Grand Duke.The opportunity to turn defeat into victory. Only when the Grand Duke wins can your family live well and enjoy everything. I am not asking you to die. If possible, I hope everyone can live. I just hope you will fight and do your best to fight for the final victory and for your family. I ask you to die here with me. I use myself and your life to earn a bright future for my descendants. You use your life to earn your family for your whole life without worries. If you are willing, please stay. If you are unwilling, you can leave.

Some people have the intention mainly because of the private soldiers of the nobles, or the garrison troops. Their will is not so firm. They want to leave, but seeing that no one stops them, they gather together. When they walk to the door, one of them returns.

Sir, why are you sure that the grand duke can win?

I have to say that I am not sure, but I think he can win. There is a lot of information that he can win, and there is a lot of information that he will lose. In the end, I decided to take a gamble and use my whole family to win. That's all

Then I also want to take a gamble. I can't read, I can't understand the list, or what if I understand it? How do you guarantee that my family will have no worries about food and clothing in the future? If you can earn food and clothing for your family for a lifetime, I think my life is worth it. I just want to know, how do you guarantee...

I can't give you certain guarantees, just like I can't guarantee that the grand duke will win, and I don't know whether he will fulfill his promise if he wins. I can't even guarantee that my son will fulfill my promise, yes, who can guarantee that, if any of you survives, it is said that no matter how fierce the war is, there will always be people who survive. Such people are probably merciful of the gods. Those who survive can testify with their own eyes. If my son does not fulfill his promise, you can kill him. Just teach me an unfilial son. If the grand duke fails to fulfill his promise, you can avenge the grand duke and revenge me.

When the sun rose the next day, the soldiers on the wall saw the fate of those who left, either hanging on the gallows or skulls on spears.

Fortunately, I just left a dozen, and I thought I could escape at least a few hundred... People are in the crowd. When they see others not leaving, they will wonder if it is right to leave by themselves. No one will leave. I really should thank these idiots. I thought I had won firmly and started to be unscrupulous. You little bastard, don't lose for me. I'm fucking stumbling. You can't let me lose all my underwear.

Loga stood on the wall, muttering to himself, and then pointed to the distance

If you see it, you are still lucky, you can give it a try

The soldiers also watched the escaped people's fate and were silent, holding their weapons tightly. Since there was no choice, it would be better to fight for their families until they died.

********************

Phelps was furious in front of his commander's tent, and waved his hand despite his subordinate's pleading, and asked the soldiers to drag an officer down and chop him down.

Both sides were unable to capture the pass at the same time. What's the use of this kind of waste to contact the opposite side? I haven't captured the pass tomorrow. I have to consider whether they still have to fulfill their conditions. I didn't capture the pass tomorrow morning. The commander beheaded. I didn't capture it in the afternoon. The commander of a team was beheaded. If he still couldn't capture it in the evening, the team leader was beheaded. I'm not afraid of no one. I'll lead my troops in person. You heard that

Phelps' men were already trembling at this time. After the meeting, some officers gathered together.

Your Majesty is crazy...

Who said it was not

Speaking of which, why can't we fight? It's obvious that everything is superior

There are different explanations for strength and weakness

Hearing a gloomy voice in the corner, many people turned their heads over

Talk

If you want to be strong, everyone knows that we are strong. The troops below are all field troops. They have just experienced the battle with Williams and are withdrawn from the country. Whether it is morale, experience, or individual combat effectiveness, they are much stronger than those garrison troops. However, these people are veterans and have become relatively slicker.

Many people nodded. Everyone knows that veterans are better than new recruits. Everyone knows that veterans are harder than new recruits.

After winning, they hope to enjoy it. They robbed enough and got a lot of money. It was time to go home and enjoy life. As a result, we were trapped in the north by the demon disaster. It was equivalent to going directly to the next battle before we could rest. For such a long time, our soldiers were forced to fight with the monsters. In fact, they had no intention of fighting. Many people's homes were in the so-called Dia. As a result, they came back from the war and could not go home. They made money and had no place to spend it. They even had to fight with the monsters. Remember how many soldiers secretly injured themselves on the northern border at the beginning and wanted to rest in the rear? Later, a batch of them was cut off.

I was dragged down in the north for almost a year. After finally the magic disaster was over, I could breathe a sigh of relief. Our Majesty is going to fight again. Of course, most soldiers still support it because they are going home. They think that the south is also their own people, or it is easy to fight. This battle should be very easy. But the result is that our opponents are desperate now. Why don’t I know, but they just don’t want to live. Our own soldiers have been staying on the battlefield for a long time. They are exhausted physically and mentally, and have money. They have been holding back for a long time. They are still at home. If it were you, would you still be willing to fight to the death?

Many staff officers and officers nodded in agreement

Didn't anyone make any comments to His Majesty?

Will Your Majesty listen? He has long been immersed in the obsession of regaining his hometown. Fortunately, this time the enemy was attacked from both sides. We may suffer a greater loss, but we will eventually win. It's just that how many people will die before we win this victory. I don't know how far we can go. I'm also pessimistic

The officers fell into depression again, and then prayed that they would not be elected as commander-in-chief tomorrow.

********************

As a veteran, Luoga knew that the pass was about to be broken, and he had to carry it for two days. He thought he could scare away the opponent through a day of bloody battle, but the opponent became even more crazy. Also, he was used to seeing the bloody soldiers in the north and could not stop him from going crazy. Moreover, the force of the elbows had become less than enough due to casualties. The city wall had been occupied. Green's soldiers kept climbing the city wall through the siege tower. The soldiers who defended the city gate locked themselves inside. The narrow passage and iron gate temporarily stopped the other party, that is, the pass had fallen. Whether in the north or south, he had done enough

Blow the trumpet, sitting here and waiting to die is not my style

As the deputy general sounded the horn, the last few cavalrymen in the pass gathered together. The suspension bridge on the city gate fell directly and killed several enemy troops. The city gate opened, which surprised the Green Army, who had been filling the soil for a long time, and was a little depressed. He had climbed halfway through the wall... Loga led the last cavalry and rushed out of the city gate facing the sunset until the height of Phelps Station.

********************

How dare he wave his sword at his monarch for this old dog!

Phelps felt completely angry at Loga's last blow. What could only twenty or thirty cavalry do?

Do you really want to rush to his formation and cut him down?

This is a statement, which shows that the Barron family and Green are incompatible. Speaking of which, I was going to fight back but not to keep the Barron family. Now it's just right

Luoga's counterattack and could make any waves? The pass was broken, but the pass was lit up again. It seemed that the remaining soldiers inside burned the entire pass together with themselves, looking at the flames and smoke that soared into the sky.

Phelps laughed

Can you tell me what makes you do to this point? Even if you delay me for a day or two, what changes can you make?

When Loga was dragged in front of Phelps, he was almost out of reach.

It can be delayed for about three days. As for why... others give so much, so many that I am willing to sacrifice my life for it. Phelps, you know that the throne is yours sooner or later. Your former king has never considered the second prince, but you have been bullying your brothers. Are you so unwavering to kill your father and usurp the throne? Are you really good to the nobles in China? When you were the prince, you started to interfere in the affairs of the nobles and try to replace your own people. Do you know how bad your jesters are? Do you not know what they are doing when they are in the place? You don't care, as long as it's a mess, you'll be happy when we are uncomfortable. Do you know what the poor's attitude towards the royal family has become? You don't know, and you don't care that you are spoiled. The biggest mistake of the old emperor is that you are spoiled you, making you so impatient and greedy

Shut up, you traitor! No matter what your new monarch promises to you, it's useless, he's finished!

Your family will be eradicated by me, you will get nothing, you will get nothing!

Phelps felt surprisingly angry when he looked at Logan's disdainful eyes, and walked forward and pushed away his subordinate's block.

You are so confident in your new monarch, so please tell me what he can do for you now and fly over to save you!

He... is here...

ha?

Some powerful men felt the tremor on the ground and looked at the rear of the army. Phelps opened his eyes wide and could not believe that all the information he had received was that Elino Dia had been dragged in the war between the south and Leiden, how could it be in the rear of him.

In the sky!

Oh my God! Dragon!

Even when the sun sets, the sun is still dazzling. Most people cannot raise their heads to observe. Only a few strong people look around the light and follow the sound. There seems to be a black shadow in the sun.

how so……

********************

Elino rode on Heidi's back and asked his cavalry to go first. Heidi flew faster, and he planned to arrive at the scene with the cavalry at the same time.

Green's army was siegeing the city. Although there were a few guards left, they were not large in number and of poor quality. They never thought they would be attacked from behind.

There are not many people in them, so hold on!

The Greens officer shouted while whipping the soldiers with his whip and scabbard, pushing the chaotic infantry forward to block Dia's cavalry

Heidi took a deep breath in the air, sprayed her with a mouthful of dragon breath, destroying most of the siege weapons that threatened her. A few strong men tried to use their bows to threaten Heidi, but Elinor's sensitivity to fighting spirit and his direct attack helped Heidi avoid some extremely injured attacks. As for ordinary bows and arrows, Heidi didn't care.

Elino jumped directly from the air, jumping down at such a high place, even if many strong people would fall to death, but Elino's body could already be separated from the category of ordinary people, and there was nothing to do when he jumped down from the air.

Phelps, we meet again

Elino jumped directly close to Phelps, and several powerful men around him surrounded him at the moment when Elino landed. This was the best time to attack, but he was instantly killed by Elino.

After being beaten by Mochubi last time, he kept trying to train his speed. As long as the speed is fast enough, his opponent will not be able to react.

You're afraid you won't remember me, but you should know some information about me, right? I'm from Valen. I was there when you sneaked into Williams' granary.

Elinor walked towards Phelps slowly, which caused great fear and pressure on Phelps

What are you doing? He is alone, kill him! Kill him!

The guards around Phelps are even more nervous now. I have always heard that Dia's Grand Duke has extraordinary combat power, but no one knows how he is. He heard that he defeated a principality alone and many people think it is a joke. He heard that he is a brave man. Many people laughed happily, and he is so awesome.

When they saw the real person, these people realized that their imagination was too poor before. They could not understand why the same fighting spirit was easily torn apart by the other party just like paper, nor could they understand why the other party's sword cut off their sword and armor so easily. The opponent's speed was so fast that even the strong man could barely keep up. He could only resist with his combat instinct, and even if he was killed, he would have to react after a while.

As all the strong men around Phelps were killed, ordinary soldiers fled because of horror. They could not face an existence that rode a dragon and jumped from the sky without any injuries and killed so many strong men.

Perhaps even Elino would be surrounded and killed if he fought to the death, but Green's soldiers' morale collapsed. He could not capture a pass for a long time and was attacked by enemy cavalry behind him. There was a dragon in the sky without restraint.

Phelps knew at this time that it was impossible to escape. His speed was not as fast as the other party. His personal soldiers were killed by the other party at the beginning. The remaining soldiers could not block the knife for him. Perhaps they had the last courage to draw out the sword.

Then his hand was cut off by Elinor's sword, then he kicked to the ground and stepped on his chest with one foot

You probably forgot this scene in that granary, I was trampled under my feet. I want to thank you, I saved my life.

It's you!

Phelps remembered that when he was sneaking into Williams' granary, there were two knights in the granary. Maybe he praised the other party's courage, or maybe he felt it was not important, so he wanted to keep them and sell them for money, so he saved their lives.

If you let me go, I will be the one I am today, so I will also let you go today. Just remember, your head will be temporarily placed on your shoulders. When I am empty, I will go get out.

Phelps covered his wound, his arm was cut off, and blood was going out. If he didn't stop bleeding, he would be dead, but now he has been rolling and creeping around.

Ellino raised his sword, accompanied by the cheers of the cavalry and a dragon roar, ended Green's invasion, and was still the best general he was at.

Elino's knights and cavalry went to hunt down Green's deserters, and some Green's soldiers surrendered to Elino under the leadership of some officers, while Elino himself stood beside Loga and looked at the old man.

Grand Duke, his soul has already gone to the divine realm

Seeing Ellino's eyes remained in Loga's tight hand, a knight spread out Loga's hand and it was a necklace that looked quite valuable. After opening it, it was a portrait of his wife and son.

For you, the most cherished thing is your family, so you are willing to give your life for them... I will fulfill my contract with you and sleep with peace of mind

Elino puts the necklace back into Loga's hand

Thick funeral

Yes, Grand Duke

I'm going to the south, my brothers are still there, and you'll end up as planned here.

yes

Elino re-riding Shanghai Di's back, Heidi spreads her wings, takes off again, and flies over the pass. Because she is not flying high, the noble coalition can see Elino on the dragon's back

In the horrified gaze of the noble coalition, Elinor said coldly, and then Heidi flew to the south highway

Many noble coalition forces did not understand what it meant to do, and after hearing this, some families issued some instructions, either horns, flags, or drums. Then many noble troops put a white belt on their left arms and attacked the enemy without the signs.

You! You deceived us! You were the lackeys of the great commoners from the beginning! You clearly deceived us into rebelling!

There is no way, he gave too much, so please die

When the noble coalition forces quelled the rebellion, the remaining families looked at each other. Although they knew that the Grand Duke had arranged more than one person, they did not expect that there would be so many. Their eyes were complicated, but their expressions were much more relaxed. Both sides hugged each other or held each other's hands tightly.

From now on, we will be loyal ministers of the Grand Duke. Let's get along well with each other.

That's of course

Several nobles looked kind and looked at each other, but their eyes showed a different meaning.

It would be strange if you can get along well. When you asked me to rebel together, you didn’t mention that you were an insider. You clearly wanted to kill me together!

But now that the battle is over, don't go into these details

The loyalty of these nobles is still a problem. If Elino did not repel Green's invasion in time, they would go from fake surrender to real surrender. If Elino wins now, they would restrain themselves and become a loyal minister.

********************

The suspects Elinor assigned were only one hundred cavalrymen, or a little, or a little, and they did not record their specific number. The number of people in this team was very small, and it was very funny. Of course, they were also at their limit.

In a farm near Leiden City, the farm manager greeted the farmers on the farm with a manure fork and carefully approached the barn. According to a servant, it seemed that they saw a thief or something hiding in.

Stop surrendering you villains!

As the door was opened, the manager who had just shouted turned around and ran away. He heard a few screams and ran faster. Then he felt like he was hit by something. He saw that something seemed to have poked out of his chest, and then fell to the ground. He heard footsteps in a daze and the voice of a man.

Actually, it has nothing to do with you. If you don't come here, you won't have to die.

Pulling out the weapon, the knight wiped the sweat from his head, then carried the foot of the manager in one hand and dragged him back to the barn

Being discovered, all of them must be killed

Don't leave to take care of us, or what's the point of taking care of us? Let's go together

The man from a farm was killed, and even the children were not spared. The two knights helped their companions into the room from the barn and placed them on the ground.

Look, I knew there was something good, and dinner was ready for us, hahahahahaha...

Stop laughing, you're dying

Anyway, I'm going to die, I'm still crying if I don't laugh. I'm looking for some wine. I want to have a few sips

After searching for a while, the Knight rummaged through the cabinet.

It's really a fucking found me. I'm definitely a talent. Hey, your wine

Put the wine bottle into the hand of the companion, but the companion did not respond. He shook the other person, grabbed his hair and looked at the other person's face.

Dead... I don't laugh so much, maybe I can take a sip, idiot...

I took the bottle back from the other party's hand, but I felt it was inappropriate, so I stuffed the wine into the other party's arms.

You greedy, this bottle is buried with you

After taking a bottle of wine and drinking a few sips, the Knight seemed a little moved and distributed the food on the table to his companions. If he couldn't do it manually, he would feed it to the other party.

Where have you been?

Seeing another moving companion coming in, the Knight asked casually

Why do you say you have killed them? Isn’t that a pity?

The other party dragged the young woman's body over, put it on the dining table, and stripped her clothes.

You won't attack the corpse...

Hehe, it's good to kill it, now I can only look at it. If I can't fuck it, it's very uncomfortable... The ketone body of a young woman, is it almost the same when she covers her head? Look, it seems that there is no difference between it and the lady from the noble family we played last time

The knight looked up at the woman on the table. It should be the daughter of this family. She was still very young and killed her without caring about it.

Women are not like that, their breasts, butts, legs, and pussy is still used to fuck them, can you still lick them

I thought, if I were a soldier, the daughter of a noble family, I would never touch the hand of the place in my life. As a result, the woman knelt on the ground and begged me to spare her life. She put my cock in her mouth and sucked her face so deformed. She rode on me and twisted her hair and flew around. I suddenly felt that woman was so sad and disgusting. She looked so sad and disgusting.

You said it, you pushed her away and then slapped her twice. I remember that you fucked someone for the whole night last time, and never let her go from her pussy to her asshole.

Hahahahahaha, yes, I gave her a knife when it's over... Isn't this the fuck clearly that the so-called noble lady is no different from a bitch? If she has some courage to stand in front of me and reveal a disgusting and unyielding face, I can still respect her a little. That's a bitch face. It's a pity. I probably won't have such a good experience in this life. I really want to do it again.

You have experienced it once along the way...

After a while of silence, people fell into silence, occasionally with a few coughs and moans. They were too tired and fell into a deep sleep.

Early in the morning, the knight woke up and looked around.

Also, are you alive?

After a while, a voice came

I

The two of them got together and looked at the bodies of several companions, and felt that it was better to die like this.

Leiden City is right in front of me, I want to go there

I think you're missing a deputy

The knight looked at his companion with a cynical face and dirty look. His eyes were firm.

Why do you want to die with me? I think it's good to change your outfit and find a place to hide.

Then why do you want to die again?

The Knight was silent for a while, as if he was organizing the language

Speaking of which, I had no dreams before. I was a family. My ancestors were said to have been a great nobleman. By my generation, I was a little knight. My father would talk nonsense when he was drunk, and what was the glory of revitalizing the family. I scoffed at it. I had no dreams to have a fiefdom, marry a village girl, have a child, and teach the child to learn swords. I hope he can inherit my fiefdom. It's over. When the adults came here, I saw some hope and followed the adults. He was so optimistic and brave. He could ride a horse and rush towards the enemy's army formation alone.

Adults are very strong

I know, but no matter how strong a person is, he will be injured and his physical strength will be exhausted. How many times have adults been covered in scars? How many times have adults been sleeping after the battle ended? It is a fact. It is also an exaggeration. But following him, I feel that I can be fearless, even if there are thousands of troops on the other side, I will not be afraid.

so what?

I want to see if I will continue to turn back to the cowardly me if the adult is not here. I want to prove that I am no longer the same person in the past. I think I can do what the adult can do, so can I do it.

You can't conquer Leiden City by yourself

I know, I want to make it once

Will die

I know, I just want to do it once

idiot

I know……

Let's go, go and rush once like a general. You need a flag-holding official, just right

idiot

The two looked at each other and smiled like a child, then pulled the horse out of the barn, found two horses that seemed to be able to run, removed the saddles of the other horses, and then whipped a few whips to let them go, but the war horses were a little overwhelmed. They were trained to adapt to the battlefield, and they didn't know why the knights don't want them now.

In fact, his companions helped each other put their armor on. The continuous battles made the armor ragged. Even if they gathered together the dead companions or the captured ones, they would make a bunch of ragged ones.

Two people rode on horses and raised the battle flag

Speaking of which, I don't know what your name is

Then why are you following me?

I thought it was like before and I was going to grab a game

Bad, I said this is a journey of death!

Officials say so, do you remember what my name is?

Forehead……

Hoho...

The two of them fought together for many days, and they didn't even know what the other party was called, but sometimes it was like this, without communication, and even just a look.

Alas, do you think I will be recorded in the history books of later generations?

No, who cares about the lives of small soldiers like us, even if we write, there are two foolish scepters running to the capital of the empire and intend to sneak into the city. But they were found to be slaughtered. They advised the scepters behind to do some stupid things.

Hahaha……

Both of them did not say their names in a tacit understanding. They didn't remember them before, so they didn't need to remember them anymore. A torch was thrown at the farm. As the two of them went further and further, the fire became more and more prosperous. Only a few injured war horses were left. They wandered around the farm, and they seemed a little uncomfortable with the saddle. They gnawed this and that everywhere.

I saw the city gate, we were only two of us. What were they running along the way? We have to explain to each other a pair of infantry.

Hoho, those who have lost their courage are not worthy of calling warriors anymore. Are you ready?

Less dick nonsense

The knight took off the horn at his waist. It was originally a messenger. He was dead. The horn may have been used to smash the enemy in the battle, so it was a little deformed, and there was blood stain on it. The sound of the blowing was also distorted.

Two people, one holding this rifle, the other carrying a broken battle flag, launched the last charge towards the royal city wall of a kingdom

********************

King Leiden was so angry that he was no longer in the government hall. There were many people missing in the other two factions of nobles finally stopped arguing, and they did not come anymore. Now they were holding themselves together and obeying the orders of the leaders of their respective camps. Fortunately, he, the king, still has some basic positions in his hands, otherwise he would have become a lonely person.

His Majesty...

King Leiden heard his subordinates call him many times before he came to his senses and gently patted the chair.

OK, OK

The subordinates don't know what their king is saying. Isn't it a mess now? There is no clue in everything. How to deal with the nobles who have become rebellious, how to deal with Dia's invasion, how to end Andy's failure, etc.

Your Majesty, do you agree with our opinion?

Let the other two companies go to consume Dia and wait until they have almost fought before they can clean up together?

Yes, Your Majesty, Diao Jun came from afar, and their supply line was threatened by the other two companies. As long as we provoke the melee between the three parties, we will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory.

King Leiden laughed out loud

What's the point of turning defeat into victory? The city gate was closed for several hours today. Why? Two Dia's men ran outside the city gate and closed the city gate as if they were facing a great enemy. The city gate was stuck on the other party's spear. In this way, they dare to use it to seek credit. If you rely on such an army to turn defeat into victory? Do you think I am an idiot?

Your Majesty, although there are only two people, we cannot guarantee whether there are any surroundings... The city gate is closed for insurance...

My Knights have no damage to the border, do they even have the courage to leave the city! Do they even have the courage to face two remaining soldiers? Key One tenth of my soldiers can be like the two Dias, why did I fall to where I am today!

Listening to King Leiden's roar, his subordinates can only deal with silence. You can only command your Knights. What can we do if they don't want to leave the city?

The city defense force has never been on the battlefield, so it is no problem to rely on equipment to kill the enemy?

Besides, you have handed over all the troops that the kingdom can fight to Andy. He is the one you promoted. He is now responsible for defeat. He died on the front line. Even if he passes, no one will say it, but you think you will not take the blame?

Let's talk, surrender to Dia

ah?

The subordinate thought he had heard it wrong, but King Leiden was not angry, but just said it again calmly

I said that you surrender to Dia. You are still dreaming of using the other two to consume Dia. Have you ever thought that with Dia's current military strength, there is no need to think about these things anymore. They just fight directly. The other two families are still fighting in the middle and even fighting each other. You really think that you can count on them. Surrender requires capital. While there is still capital now, you can still leave a way out for survival. When Dia really fights, you will even surrender becomes a luxury.

King Leiden dispersed his subordinates, sat alone on the throne, took Andy's letters from his arms, and looked over and over again. He saw a lot of things, resentment, unwillingness, helplessness, and a glimmer of vitality that Andy left him in the end.

Andy ruined his heavy army, indeed, with a heavy blow, and then left behind the Knights and some secrets. Perhaps these people will be out of their control in a few generations, but there is still a chance in everything. As long as the royal family survives, maybe they can still wait for an opportunity, that is, Grand Duke Dia will unify the Eastern Kingdom and incorporate it into Williams. At that time, some chaos will definitely occur, so he has to persevere, retain some living forces, surrender before everyone and hand over the righteousness, let Dia eliminate the other two families, then lie dormant, and wait quietly for the opportunity.

You are right. If I had changed the country, I would not have done so. I was just paying off my debts. The debts left by my ancestors... This is not my failure...

********************

Elinor rode Heidi and passed by a battlefield, frowned

How did Jacob get here? It's too slow, Heidi, go down

Heidi lowered the altitude of the flight. The battlefield changed some changes due to the appearance of Elinor. The Leidens were frightened. Why did a dragon suddenly appear here? The Dias were motivated and began to shout long old man.

I've calmed down the north, you've just arrived here, it's too slow

Leave only one sentence without any brainstorms, the dragon flew away from the battlefield quickly and continued to fly south

You all heard that the great master had pacified the north and was dissatisfied with the current progress

Jacob's heart finally let go. Even if he still had some doubts, he had to firmly believe that Elinor had settled the north. Under Jacob's urging, the nobles of Dia also put aside some small thoughts and began to order their subordinates to step up their attacks.

The offensive and defensive battles at Fort Sariya were also bloody. With the strong city defense and dangerous terrain of Fort Sariya, the guards of Elino remained persistent with very few troops. They were waiting for their grand duke to come back.

One afternoon, the soldiers defending the city wall suddenly began to get excited when they looked at the sky, and started to scream and jump, so that the Leiden people felt a little strange. What were they excited about? Their reinforcements were still far away. They had already died before they could be called. Until a giant dragon descended from the sky, flapping its wings, and sprayed a dragon breath into Leiden's military camp.

Dragon Controller, this is Elinor's new title

In early October, two months after the war with Leiden, Leiden was not completely conquered, but the Leiden royal family had submitted a surrender letter to Elinor.

Under the conditions of ensuring the lives of the members of the Leiden royal family and allowing the preservation of certain property and fiefdoms, Leiden has become a past tense. Although Leiden's nobles still split into several factions and insisted on resisting, no one felt that they could resist for a long time. Elinodia once again created a miracle, eliminated a kingdom through a war, resolved the border troubles in the north, and suppressed the domestic resistance forces.

Many people put away their unjust intentions and believed in the legends that Elino Dia was a chosen son, the darling of the gods, the Gods' Choice, and even the dragon surrendered to his feet.
