Cultivation of the Elf Continent

Chapter 279 Arrival at Clay City

Prince Regent Philip sent troops to snipe Earl Alexander. After Earl Alexander accepted the surrender of the city of Adelaide, he did not go on a killing spree. He only went into the city to replenish supplies. Of course, looting the nobles' belongings was only to prevent These nobles gathered their forces to fight back. At the same time, Earl Alexander also searched for the presence of alchemists in the city. The army led by Earl Alexander did not stay in Yade City for more. After looting some treasures, they recruited most of the remaining soldiers. After working with young and middle-aged peasants as logistics transport personnel, Count Alexander's army marched to another city. Count Alexander knew that the garrison force in this city was also empty. Most of the nobles and their guards responded to Prince Philip's call. , Prince Regent Philip did this to seduce, or paralyze Earl Alexander. After all, Earl Alexander had a very high reputation in the north, and Count Alexander had never announced his independence from the empire. Prince Regent Philip needed a perfect excuse to treat the North The perfect excuse to send troops to the border area, summoning the strength of several cities near the northern border, is to lure Earl Alexander to attack, and make the illusion of a shortage of troops to paralyze Earl Alexander. As for the wealth that was captured and plundered, Prince Regent Philip said that the wealth of those nobles was not his wealth. Moreover, most of the nobles' forces were recruited by themselves and their wealth was plundered. These patriarchal guards would only attack Count Alexander more crazily. Of course, even if Alexander If the Earl can calm down and not attack these cities, he will not suffer any losses, and he can also dispatch the gathered forces to the southern battlefield. Therefore, this has long been a strategy arranged by Prince Regent Philip, and he will wait for Earl Alexander He took the bait, and Count Alexander himself knew that since he had decided to enter the war, he naturally could not let go of the bait that was offered to him. The entire army moved forward at a high speed, and soon they dared to reach the second city. The same , in the face of absolute superiority, the garrison of this city basically did not resist. They looted the nobles' belongings, and searched for alchemists throughout the city to recruit farmers and soldiers as logistics personnel. After some rest, they moved forward at full speed. , go to the next city, after all, the opportunity cannot be missed. Perhaps Prince Regent Philip is already deploying troops. In fact, the reason why Prince Regent Philip reduced the garrison strength of these three cities is because he did not know that Count Alexander would attack first. That city simply left all three cities empty. No matter which city Earl Alexander attacked first, the other cities had time to gather soldiers to defend the city. But what Prince Regent Philip did not expect was that these cities did not resist. They surrendered directly and Count Alexander did not waste too much time in the city. This allowed Count Alexander to directly attack the two cities. When Count Alexander rushed to the third city, Prince Regent Philip also completed the deployment. This city In the city, the private soldiers of several surrounding nobles have gathered. Of course, the Thorn Flower Guards from the imperial capital are also on their way, as well as the private armies of nobles gathered from those cities. Prince Regent Philip's purpose is very clear, in one fell swoop After annihilating Count Alexander's effective force, after this period of integration, Regent Philip has already grasped the power of the territory in his hands. Regent Philip occupies more than half of the territory of the Odins Empire. The power in his hands can be said to be very powerful. For a period of time, the stalemate on the southern battlefield was just the means of Prince Philip. Now that the integration of forces was completed, Prince Philip also began to show his fangs. With the strength of Prince Philip, he fought against King William, King Charles, and Count Alexander at the same time. , it can be seen that the strength of Prince Philip Regent is strong. The city of Cleric is located at the junction of the Northern Territory. At this time, the city is full of soldiers and is filled with a murderous atmosphere. On the city wall, there are crowds of people and flags fluttering. They have already prepared their defense. The city was ready, but after Count Alexander led the army to the city and saw the heavily guarded garrison, he ordered the entire army to rest and build a camp on the spot and cut down trees to make ladders. It was obvious that he wanted to storm the city of Kelli. With camps stretching for several miles, the defenders in Kelley City are also extremely nervous. After all, anyone who looks at the dark enemy will be nervous. Moreover, the current garrison in Kelley City is the private army of the nobles. For All the noble clan leaders who were still a little frightened by such a large-scale war scene gathered on the city wall and looked at Count Alexander's army in the distance. They whispered, "This is the Zhenbei Army, the elite army of the empire." "Look at them." Armor and weapons," "Can we defend such a team?" "Look at the trees they cut down today, they are making siege ladders, but they are not expected to be ready until tomorrow, and then a fierce battle will inevitably happen." All the nobles looked confused. Fear and worry, after all, the reputation of the Zhenbei Army cannot be compared with the private armies of nobles in these places. Fortunately, according to reliable information, Prince Regent Philip has sent the Thorn Flower Guards. They only need to hold on to the city and defend it. Just thinking of this while waiting for the reinforcements to arrive, the mood of the nobles improved a little. They stopped looking at the enemy troops that stretched for miles and walked down the city wall. Sure enough, out of sight, out of mind. After walking down the city wall, they felt much better. Some people even boldly speculated, "If Earl Alexander is defeated this time, then Prince Regent Philip will give us a new territory as big as the Northern Territory." "The Northern Territory, such a large territory How many nobles can the place be divided into? If you are lucky enough to get a piece of it," these nobles responded to the call and naturally had plans. Prince Regent Philip promised to defeat Earl Alexander, with titles, gold coins, and various land rewards, including human and financial rewards, including birds. Eating death is a true portrayal of the garrison of Kelley City at this time. The sun sets and night falls. Count Alexander's military camp is silent, and the city of Kelley is also silent. It is obvious that Count Alexander's army is recuperating. Accumulating energy, tomorrow is likely to be a fierce battle. The nobles of Cleric City also think so, so the defenders rest peacefully and wait for tomorrow's battle. The night is deep and quiet, and the cold moon is also shrouded in clouds and mist. There are only a few stars. Under the dim starlight, I could barely see some things. At this time, soldiers one after another carried out the ladders that had been made overnight. After all, the soldiers and farmers captured in the two cities had sufficient logistics. It seemed that they only cut down a little bit. Trees were used to build several ladders, but where the defenders of Kelley City could not see them, ladders were being driven out. It was very late at night, and rows of ladders were quietly moved to the bottom of the city, one by one. The light black shadow, like a civet cat, climbed up the city wall on the ladder. "Enemy attack, poof, Peng" the night attack began.
