Chapter 584 Black Hawk of Temeria

This night attack, planned and operated by Lu Qi, lasted for several hours and achieved brilliant results.

Six thousand cavalrymen in all kinds of armor and with white belts on their arms plowed the entire Nilfgaardian camp back and forth. The target of the sword.

The Nilfgaardian army was defeated and fled, and was hunted down by the Temerian army, causing heavy casualties.

According to post-war statistics, under the thick night of Maribau, more than 2000 people were killed or trampled to death, [-] were captured, and only [-] people fled majesticly without a trace.

This battle not only broke the siege of Maribor, but under the leadership of [-] cavalry, the infantry unit, not to be outdone, went all the way south and regained the two fortresses of Mayena and Ameria in the south of Maribor, greatly expanding the The depth of the defense line.

Moreover, this victory broke the myth that the Nilfgaardians were invincible and greatly boosted the morale of the northern countries.

An advertisement, the book chasing app I've been using recently, !

Queen Mivi, who played hide-and-seek with the Nilfgaardians in the Anglin area, and the guerrillas in the Aden area took the opportunity to attack the Nilfgaardians one after another, and achieved some results.

Two days later, the Emperor of the Empire, who was far away in the city of the Golden Tower, the capital of Nilfgaard, received news of the defeat of the Third Army and the news of various occupied areas, and then stayed alone in the palace for an hour before leaving the palace.

After summoning the group of ministers, the first instruction issued by Emperor Emhyr, the "white flame dancing on the enemy's grave", was to order all the troops in southern Temeria to retreat to the fortress in the Sodden area!

Obviously, Emhyr's move has only one purpose: a strategic retreat!

Winter is approaching, and Temeria cannot be captured in one fell swoop. Even if you continue to invest in troops, it will only consume supplies and morale. It is better to wait until the spring is warm and the flowers are fully prepared before launching a general attack on Temeria.

"At that time, wouldn't it be wonderful to concentrate our superior forces and conquer the entire territory of Temeria in one fell swoop!" These were the original words of His Majesty Emperor Emhyr.

Indeed, Emhyr did not care about this small defeat at all.

The Nilfgaardian Empire has a vast territory and a large population. Coupled with the implementation of the provincial system, the number of troops that can be mobilized throughout the country has reached a terrifying [-].

You know, Foltest, who ruled the entire Temeria, can mobilize an army of at most 5.Including the army of vassals and vassals, about [-] people can be assembled.

Of course, this is the difference between centralization and feudal fiefdoms.

This is why Lu Qi did not choose the Nilfgaard camp, but the reason why he chose the northern camp:

In the Southern Empire, even if he made great military exploits, he would be promoted at the military level at most, and he would not be able to get a fief of his own to develop his own power.

But in the north, in Temeria, he could obtain titles and territories by virtue of his military exploits.

That's what he wanted!

Although, the difficulty of helping Temeria resist the Nilfgaardian invasion can be called hell...

After all, no matter in terms of military strength or system, the unified southern empire is much stronger than the northern states with many forces and each with their own minds.

Historically, only the entire northern countries united could barely compete with the southern empire.

However, now with him joining, everything will become different...

. . .

Under the special publicity of Temeria's intelligence department, this classic night attack battle, which was called the "Battle of Maribor" by later historians, quickly spread throughout the north.

All the northern countries know that Temeria has produced such a talented and resourceful young general.

Because he moves like the wind on the battlefield, his swordsmanship is as sharp as a falcon, and he wears a black soft armor, Lu Qi won the title of "Black Eagle of Temeria".

This battle completely established Lu Qi's position and prestige in the Temerian army, and won the favor of King Foltest.

For this young man with explosive combat power and a sense of honor, Foltest became more and more pleasing to the eye.

If his only daughter hadn't been married to Prince Radovid of Redania, he would definitely recruit her as his son-in-law. In this way, his ruling position would be more stable, and it would be easier to resist the invasion of the southerners. confident.

Although he couldn't buy Lu Qi right away, the king still found other ways to express his appreciation for Lu Qi.

He very generously granted Lu Qi the Barony of Brunner in the northern part of Maribor, including Brunner Castle and Zawada Village, directly changing him from a knight at the bottom of the nobility to Brunner baron.

Not only that, Foltest also specially built a new elite army composed of knights, and appointed Lu Qi as the commander of the army, who can independently recruit and command 1000 troops.

The name of this unit is the Black Hawk Knights!

The backbone of the Black Eagle Knights are the mercenaries hired by Lu Qi from Vizima.

Although during the battle, more than half of the casualties occurred.However, the remaining 47 people were all awarded knight titles and became the famous 47 knights of Temeria's Black Hawk Knights.

Led 47 knights, Lu Qi came to his fief Brenner Castle, full of ambitions...

. . .

At the end of December, winter finally came.

As the Nilfgaardians retreated and retreated into various fortresses and castles, the entire continent entered a brief period of peace.

And this period of biting cold wind is extremely important to the northern countries.

Not only did Temeria gain a precious respite, but the rulers of the northern countries also sat together again and began to discuss matters of joint resistance against the enemy.

Among them, the most exciting news for the northern people is that Redania, one of the northern powers, has finally stabilized the political situation in the country and can free up its hands to join the war!

As early as the beginning of July, when the war started, the entire Redania fell into chaos due to the assassination of King Vizmir II, unable to send troops to support Aedirn or Temeria.

After a series of arrests, killings, and hangings, Queen Hedwig, with the help of two important ministers, the intelligence chief Dijkstra and the sorcerer consultant Philippa Erhardt, cleaned up the rebels in the country and restored the order of the past .

After understanding the precarious situation of the war, both of them understood that the northern countries must unite in order not to be defeated one by one.

People with lofty ideals in the north understand this truth.

Therefore, the two jointly spoke to the Queen of Redania and decided to send the Redanian Royal Army to support Temeria.

The entire army has a total of [-] soldiers, including [-] famous Redanian heavy cavalry.

The king of Kaedwen, who remained neutral, also sent an envoy of cooperation.

The North, finally starting to unite...

Chapter 585 Do You Desire Power【Please subscribe and ask for a monthly pass】

Snowflakes are flying, and the biting cold wind is constantly washing the entire area of ​​Maribo.

The breath of war also lurks temporarily under the white snow.

In Brenner Castle, which is about ten miles away from Maribau City, it is as warm as spring.

The fireworks in the fireplace crackled, and sparks splashed from time to time, spreading the temperature to every corner of the room.

Lu Qi, who was wearing a black top, was sitting at the desk, holding a quill in his hand, and was writing something on paper.

Half a month has passed since the Battle of Maribau.

As the Nilfgaardians retreated back to the Soden region, the Temerian king, who had personally conquered, was finally able to lead his royal guards back to Vizima to meet the upcoming Redanian Royal Army.

Due to the convening of the vassal troops, Field Marshal John Natalis, who arrived belatedly, took over the defense work in the Maribo area and the Soden area, began to build fortifications, repaired the city walls, and prepared for the big war after the spring .

Lu Qi, who came to Brenner, also began to adapt to the life of a noble lord in the Middle Ages.

When the elders of towns and villages came to see the new lord, he issued his first decree - exempting all people in Baron Brenner from taxes for one year!

This act of kindness won him the support of the people in the territory immediately.

The reason for doing this is not because he is a philanthropist, but for a reason.

Over the past few months, the people of the Maribor region have been levied a war tax due to the Nilfgaardian invasion.

If it is imposed again now, the people will definitely suffer.

Anyway, the money in his hand, plus the gold rewarded by the king, is enough for him for a while,

Therefore, he pushed the boat along the way and exempted taxes. On the one hand, the people can recuperate, and on the other hand, they can also gain a wave of popular support, killing two birds with one stone!

Immediately afterwards, Lu Qi took advantage of the opportunity to issue a recruitment notice and began recruiting troops.

The title of "Black Eagle of Temeria", coupled with generous treatment, attracted mercenaries from Temeria, Redania, Kaedwen and other places.

In just one week, the [-] establishment of the Black Eagle Knights was quickly recruited.

The next step is rigorous training to combine these mercenaries who are used to fighting in small groups into an army that obeys orders.

For Lu Qi, mercenaries with rich combat experience are more useful than recruits who need to grow up.

Anyway, once the battle starts, the formation and tactics are not important at all. They just need to follow him closely, charge the enemy, and then harvest the heads.

You know, Lu Qi at this time has become much stronger than when he first came to the wizard world.

He can be 100% sure that without the participation of warlocks, no army can resist his long sword!

Of course, he will not stop at this point to become stronger.

That's why he's going to write to Kayla and invite her to come and visit Brenner

Shaking his head, Lu Qi pressed down the thoughts in his mind, folded the written paper casually, put it in the envelope, and sealed it with wax paint, when there was a knock at the door suddenly.

"Your Excellency the Baron, it is me."

"Come in."

As soon as the words were finished, a bald man in brown light armor with a black falcon emblem embroidered on his chest pushed the door open and entered.

The person who came was Jilian, the former captain of the Yellow Thorn mercenary team, the current knight of Temeria and the deputy head of the Black Hawk Knights!

When he came to the desk, he paused and bowed to Lu Qi. Then the deputy head looked at the black-haired man ten years younger than himself with eyes full of respect:

"Your Excellency, what can you do with me?"

"Yes, a very important thing"

While muttering, Lu Qi casually put down the quill, raised his head slowly, and stared directly at the man's eyes with those deep black eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"Tell me, Gillian, do you desire power?"

As soon as these words came out, the bald deputy head was stunned for a moment, with a look of doubt on his face:

"Your Excellency, what do you mean? I don't quite understand."

"You should know that I can use magic, right?"

While speaking, Lu Qi snapped his fingers, and an orange flame suddenly appeared on the fingertips, dancing nimbly.

Seeing this, Gillian couldn't help swallowing, then nodded and said:

"I know."

Getting up from the seat, Lu Qi left the desk, walked slowly, and continued without forgetting:

"Not long ago, I developed a very precious magic potion. Just one dose can cause great changes in ordinary people, and thus gain more powerful power."

After a pause, Lu Qi's hand changed suddenly, and he took out a transparent red potion from the [item space].

In the last time [passing lottery draw], besides a useless thing, he also drew a box of A virus.

There are five A viruses stored in it, which can turn five people into biochemical warriors whose strength and speed exceed the limits of human beings.

Taking out the A virus to create biochemical warriors was an idea that Lu Qi had long since he came to the wizarding world.

It's just that I haven't found a suitable candidate, so I put it on hold.

Today, he has become the baron of Temeria, and has his own fief, as well as his army.

The power has begun to take shape, and it is time to cultivate one's own lineage.

After all, as the boss of a powerful force, he can't do everything by himself

Most importantly, after a close look, he finally found the right person he could trust.

That is the bald man in front of him who knows how to repay, is capable and responsible, and obeys his words!

"So, I want to ask you, do you want to have the invincible power on the battlefield like me?"

Hearing that, having seen Lu Qi's invincible heroic posture on the battlefield, Ji Lian almost became overwhelmed, and immediately agreed.

However, reason still made him calm down a little, and then asked:

"Your Excellency, I dare to ask, does this medicine have any side effects?"

After waving his hands, Lu Qi responded casually:

"I understand your concerns, but don't worry, it won't turn you into a monster, nor will it make your brain stupid, it will only make your body stronger. As for the side effects?"

Touching his smooth chin, Lu Qi continued: "In a sense, you are no longer an ordinary human, but a mutant."

"Mutants, do you mean existences like demon hunters?"
