Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage
Chapter 216 Battle of Brittany (4)
Pushing forward half a month, the demons who captured Brest Castle began to march towards the Viscount of Brieux after a bloody and carnival.
The fleeing citizens of Brest brought news of the devil. Viscount Brieux began to assemble his troops. At the same time, in order to reduce casualties, he ordered the citizens of the border villages to withdraw.
After the army arrived at the junction of the two territories, refugees continued to bring new news. There were very, very many demons. As for how many there were, it was not clear to these ordinary people who were panicking at the time.
The knight in charge ordered the reinforcement of defenses and sent out scouts to investigate.
After going back and forth like this for about a week, I finally found out the situation of the demon army, including more than ten large demons of level 7 or above and more than 3,000 small demons.
This force was not something that the current army could withstand. The knight leading the team sent someone to report to Viscount Brieuc and ordered a quick retreat. Not only the soldiers, but also the residents of the villages along the way must be evacuated.
After receiving the news, Viscount Brieux hurriedly mobilized his troops overnight. He now has one eighth-level, two seventh-level, five sixth-level knights, a second-level mage, and more than 2,000 soldiers. There is a tenth-level bishop of the Church of the God of Order and a fifth-level temple knight in the town, as well as more than thirty low-level priests who have been evacuated from various villages.
With so many soldiers stationed in the castle, it could no longer accommodate the people. Viscount Brieux could only arrange for the people in the town and the withdrawn people to continue to take refuge eastward.
The demon soldiers who entered the Brieux territory were divided into three groups. The main force marched directly towards the castle. The remaining two groups were each led by a big demon and two hundred small demons to capture humans in the village.
Fortunately, they retreated in time. Wherever the demon went, people and houses were empty. The demon that failed to capture humans could only set fire to houses and fields to vent its anger.
The devil is cunning, so how could he let human scouts easily detect his own strength? In fact, after receiving the blood sacrifice in Brest and opening the portal, not only a large number of little devils were sent, but also several fifth-level demon mages and above.
On the night when the army arrived at Brieux Castle, the demon mage cast "invisibility", "lightness", "spider walking" and other buffing spells on the big demon, allowing them to climb up without anyone noticing. city wall.
Although the soldiers on night duty immediately discovered and issued an early warning, and although the knights who were ready rushed to the city wall to resist the invasion, it was already too late.
The level of human knights is generally lower than that of big demons, and they rely on nothing more than solid city walls and priest-blessed buffing spells and healing spells. But now that the defense of the city wall is gone, and the priest is suppressed by the demon mage, the human side is immediately at a disadvantage.
The human side can only fight and retreat, retreating to the interior of the castle to defend itself. But the devils are not fools. They opened the city gate and let the little devils outside in. It is only a matter of time before mankind fails.
Under this situation, the knight stayed to stop the demon, and dozens of soldiers escorted Viscount Brieuc to escape from the secret passage of the castle. But they were unlucky, because there was a demon mage on the devil's side, so they were discovered. During the chase, Viscount Brieux was injured by the aftermath of the fireball.
If it hadn't been for the thief Tam who came to investigate, this group of people might have been wiped out. Viscount Brieuc was seriously injured and died after explaining the incident, and his body was brought back.
After listening to the knight's attendant's story, everyone could only sigh in their hearts. The battlefield is often full of accidents. Viscount Brieux's death in battle can only be said to be bad luck.
On the mainland, it is not unreasonable for legal professions to have a high status and for fifth-level mages to be granted the title of Lord if they are loyal to the nobility. Just like this time, a few fifth-level demon mages can change the outcome of a battle.
Christine immediately made arrangements: "Everyone, the matter is urgent and we need to set off overnight. If the demon catches up with the retreating people and holds another blood sacrifice, it will be difficult to deal with."
After hearing this, everyone also agreed: "Your Majesty the Earl is right."
"We'll leave overnight."
She ordered: "Tam."
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
"Take the people and continue to explore the movements of the demon army."
"As ordered!"
Tam didn't waste any time after receiving the order, turned around and left with the others.
"Bella."
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
"Send someone to notify the villages adjacent to the Brieux Territory and organize a retreat."
"As ordered!"
"Elena."
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
"Notify the territory and prepare to receive refugees."
Then an order was given, and the army set out overnight to rush to the Brieux Territory to intercept the demon.
If you look at the entire Brieux Territory from the air, you will find that countless fleeing people are pouring into the Stewart Territory from all over like a stream of ants.
The granaries previously established in various villages were now put to use. The village chief and priest provided a meal for the fleeing people and then arranged for them to proceed to the next village. Under such a relay, these refugees will eventually be arranged to towns such as Dominaria City.
The project to expand the town includes building a large number of new houses, and these refugees will be accommodated as soon as they arrive. Of course, everything including food and drinks along the way is not free. In the future, the new Viscount Brieux will need to pay for this money.
In contrast, Stewart led the evacuation of his village in an orderly manner.
Many people in the territory own cattle and horses, and they can take out the family's belongings after being hitched to the vehicle. Due to the development of the handicraft industry, every household has a one-wheeled or two-wheeled cart, which can at least carry more things than a shoulder bag.
The most important thing is that every five villages have a garrison of two hundred soldiers. They have nearly thirty horse-drawn carriages, which is a considerable transport capacity and can transport all the grain stored in the border villages.
But in fact, after the demon captured Brieuc Castle, in addition to still holding blood sacrifices, he did not chase the fleeing refugees, but headed directly eastward, preparing to leave Brittany.
Compared to the Barony of Brest, the Viscounty of Brieux is closer to the Stuart Territory and has a better understanding of Christine's strength. Especially after the demons learned from the captured servants that Earl Stewart had an elf warrior with strength close to the master level, their idea was to run as far as they could.
There are so many villages and towns in the entire Farland Kingdom that there is no need to stay here and seek death. A master is not something they can deal with. This demon has already understood the situation in the human world. The nobles on the ground are defending their own territories. As long as they leave Brittany County, the Earl of Stewart will not chase them out again.
