Lord of War

  There are no traces of scorched black magic bombardment, and there is no wood forest piled up with countless arrows.

  But the tragic on the battlefield is not inferior to any battlefield on the Marvel Continent.

  The whole land was completely stained red with blood.

Although there are no corpses stabbed by countless arrows, there are corpses stabbed to the ground by several or even dozens of spears. Although there are no corpses bombed by magic, there are also black bodies that are completely charred. se unknown mass; although there are countless corpses here, there is not even one wounded.

  As long as it falls on the ground, it will only become a corpse, not just wound but not die.

  The blood has become black on this land, and the rammed land has also become a piece of mud.

  It is not muddy water that splashes after stepping on it, but **** blood.

  Many of the soldiers of the Thunder Lion couldn't stand firm for a while, just slipped and fell, and the heavy blue armor on his body was almost dyed dark red.

  Thunder Lion and Mountain Lion Corps left more than four thousand corpses on this land.

  Basically, the main force of the Mountain Lion Corps has been completely wiped out.

   is just Alfred’s face, without the slightest excitement.

  For outsiders, a one-to-three loss ratio is almost a perfect record, but for Alfred, it is still an extremely heavy price. Because the Thunder Lion is different from the Mountain Lion Legion, the destruction of the Mountain Lion Legion may be a heavy loss for the Howard family, but for the southern aristocracy of the entire Kingdom of Darbion, it is only a drop in the bucket, but Sean’s subordinate. There are only so many troops, and the greater the damage in the early stage of the battle, the more unfavorable it is for the next battle.

  Although the Thunder Lion still has five thousand reserves, even if thousands of people have been killed at the moment, the equipment of these fallen soldiers is hardly damaged and can be used by the reserve soldiers behind. The establishment of 5,000 people was immediately restored. But Alfred knew very well that these soldiers who were originally intended to use as cannon fodder would not be able to truly exert the power of the Thunder Lion. On the contrary, it might even affect the performance of the Thunder Lion.

  This is not a good thing for a corps at all.

  But war has always been so cruel.

  So Alfred had no choice.

  His mission this time is to sweep the entire Suoan collar and develop a base here to catch up with the enemy forces that may retreat from the Dayi collar and at the same time confront the enemy forces that are also likely to pursue. Of course, a more important task is to become a springboard for Asuna's army to cut straight to the base camp of the nobles in the south of Bion. So in any case, Suoan's control rights must be firmly grasped by him.

  This is war.

   Soon, the battlefield will be cleaned.

  The armaments of the 1,000 dead Thunder Lion soldiers have been unloaded, and they were replaced by reserve soldiers to formally join the Thunder Lion. Alfred ordered the corpses of the 1,000 dead soldiers to be cremated. Because he didn't have time to bury these soldiers properly, and he couldn't let them be exposed to the sun. So it can only be done. As for the corpses of nearly three thousand mountain lion soldiers. Alfred also ordered the cremation, after all, they still want to occupy after Suoan takes it. Of course, it is impossible to cause plague or other troubles at this knot.

  After finishing all this, Alfred did not hesitate anymore, and immediately swung his army to continue chasing in the direction where Rowell Howard had fled before.

  There is not even a moment to rest.

  He must solve the trouble of the Mountain Lion Legion in the shortest time. Then send a message to William and Sean who are still waiting for his message. Of course, the news of the main force of the Mountain Lion Army was completely wiped out, and Alfred had already ordered to pass it back when the battle was officially over. If there is no accident, it can be transmitted to Yi Ling in about five days, and then directly fed back to Shaun via Da Yi Ling’s magic communication.

  The pursuit continues.

  And the next battle is the real key.

  ……

  At the same moment that Alfred annihilated the main force of the Mountain Lion Legion, it was located in Void City, and Thain, who had just concluded the military meeting, also left the lord’s mansion.

  The second step of William’s strategic plan, he will be the core, so he naturally needs to prepare in advance.

  Like Alfred’s resolute behavior, Thain did not stay or rest in the slightest. After leaving the lord’s mansion, he immediately rode out of the void city and rushed to Dayi. Because he was in a hurry to report the news to Sean before, Thain brought only one entourage. At this time, he left Void City, and naturally only this entourage would travel with him.

  The original rule of Void City was that no horses were allowed to enter the city. It was only because of the emergency that Thain and his followers were able to ride out of the city.

  After exiting the city gate, the respectful se on Thain’s face disappeared without a trace, replaced by a face of indifference.

  He glanced at Thain coldly, and then said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency Thain, I hope you haven't let us down."

   Thain looked ahead without squinting his eyes, his face se was as calm as water, but if you look closely, you can find the excitement hidden in the depths of his eyes. He just drove the horses and galloped continuously, and didn't seem to answer the meaning of the follower's words beside him, until the other party couldn't help but yelled his name again, Thain finally said in a slightly lazy tone: " Sean allowed me to increase troops."

  When the name "Sean" was mentioned, Thain's tone was only indifferent, without the respect he had shown in the meeting room before.

  "How much?" There was a touch of excitement on the face of this name.

"There is no upper limit." Thain said lightly, "but according to the situation of Dayi, and taking into account my ability and funds, I estimate that expanding the size of the troop to 20,000 will be the limit. If it exceeds this number, it will be the limit. Aroused the suspicion of Sean and William.... These two people are not stupid, don't think that your little tricks can be concealed from them."

   "Twenty thousand?" The excitement on the face of the name Hu Cong did not subside, "Ten thousand more than expected, not bad."

"Up to fifteen thousand." Thain directly rejected the follower's words without looking back. "Twenty thousand is the limit. Do you think it is so easy to reach the limit? Do you know the probability? ...I can only accept the size of 15,000 troops at most. If we exceed this number, we will even fail our negotiations."

"Five thousand and five is not bad." This Hu Cong originally wanted to say something, but when he heard Thain's firm tone, he could only choose to nod his head, but there was a little bit of hatred towards Thain in his heart, "I The Lord Duke will be notified, and everything will be done according to your instructions."

"Don't think I don't know what you are thinking." This time, Thain finally glanced sideways at the squire, but the slight sneer at the corner of his mouth made the other party's hatred even more, "If you dare to sneak in Send people in, so don’t blame me for directly ordering the clearance.... I would rather spend more time designing the killing. I don’t want to ruin my plan because of your chaos.... You need to know, even without you. , I also have the ability to kill Sean, so this time it is you who come to beg me for cooperation, not me to look for your cooperation. Remember to set the attitude for me."

   "I...I know." The servant gritted his teeth a little bit resentfully, but in the end he chose to give in.

  Because this time he secretly went to contact with Thain. Just received special emphasis from Hela Nugus. No matter what conditions Thain made or what harsh words he uttered, he had to endure it. If he can't reach an agreement with Thain, then he doesn't have to go back to the Nugus family, and just find a place to commit suicide.

  Because of this, even in the process of negotiation. He was so angry at Thain that he did not dare to refute Thain's words.

   "Let me ask one more question."

"Please say."

   "On the Soan collar side, what is the hole card you are hiding?"

  Hearing these words from Thain, the face of the Nugus family member who pretended to be Thain's resignation suddenly changed. Looking at Thain's face se immediately became a little frightened: "You... how can you..."

"It's not how I knew it, but it was inferred by Sean and William." Thain said in a deep voice, "They even concluded that the trump card you hide in the Soan collar is an army, and this army is not Howard. The mountain lion legion of the family is the Fourth Legion of Darbion in the Kingdom of Darbion.... So I am curious whether the card you are hiding is going to be used for a sneak attack or is it used to kill Sean by surprise. "

  "Is there a difference?" the Nugus family member asked rhetorically.

"Of course there is a difference." Thain said of course, "Thunder Lion has entered the Soan collar.... If you are hiding there is the Fourth Legion of Darbion, then you can definitely give Sean one. It’s a great surprise to leave the Thunder Lion on that land. This is absolutely good news for you. But if you hide there is a mountain lion army, then I’m afraid you will receive the surprise. You guys."

"Huh! The Howard family's mountain lion army is a Jing sharp army comparable to the Boulder family's agave army. How can the thunder lion be the opponent of the mountain lion army." This Nugus family The members snorted in disdain, "If it were the steel wings of the strongest army under Sean's command, it might still cause some trouble for the mountain lion army, but the ultimate victory would definitely be the mountain lion army! ... And as long as Xiao Xiao If you dare send out steel wings, then he will wait to be invaded by our coalition forces."

   "Haha!" Hearing the man's arrogant words, Thain couldn't help laughing.

"why are you laughing?"

   "I am laughing at your ignorance."

  "If you knew the record of the Mountain Lions, then you would not laugh like this."

"Do you think I'm laughing at the Mountain Lion Army?" Thain glanced at the member of the Nugus family coldly, and the ridicule on the corners of his mouth became more intense, "I am laughing at your underestimated enemy! You really Do you think that Sean’s first strong army is Steel Wings?... I might as well tell you the truth, the real strongest army under Sean’s command is Alfred’s Thunder Lion, followed by Clover’s Cesi Leah Guards, and then it's Anno's steel wings in the third turn!"

  "Make some trouble? Haha! If the Soan leader is really a mountain lion army, then I am afraid that the whole army is annihilated waiting for them."

  The eyes of this nobleman opened wide, obviously unbelievable.

  Looking at the other person's proud **** se suddenly turned into this, the smile on Thain's face became even stronger: Don't worry, I have a bigger surprise for you. . )
