Twenty Sided Dice

Chapter 238: battlefield resources

The camp was in complete chaos, and there seemed to be enemies everywhere. ●⌒, Fear hurts more than a sword, Baron Brown stood beside Siegel, watching him continue to cast spells.

He rubbed his chin and finally understood the role of the mage in the real world. If the family had a mage to assist in the Star Kingdom, it would not have lost the main force in the war, resulting in a collapse, and they could only go to the new continent to find an opportunity to re-emerge.

Although the priest of the warrior **** is good, it can only strengthen the melee ability of soldiers and heal the wounds after they are injured. No fireballs, no lightning, no dogs running around.

Fireballs are far more powerful than trebuchets and are very accurate. As long as you see an enemy gathering, you can release it from a distance. Thinking of when the Southern Allied Forces attacked the city and was bombarded by fireballs, that scene made Brown's heart twitch. But standing on the side of the fireball releaser, watching the dazzling flames explode among the enemies, it feels really good.

Mana commanded the cavalry, constantly interspersed in the enemy's line, not asking for much damage each time, but driving the enemy as much as possible, causing chaos. Erint the dwarf marched around the heights in elite squads with his people, striking at the soldiers who tried to approach.

The half-orc troops were released by Siegel, and their orders were simple: stay alive and rush the horse. With their keen sense of smell, as long as the Brown family points to a general direction, they can quickly find the stables. Orcs also don't need torches, and their darkvision abilities make them more suitable for night combat than the Confederates. They rushed into the stables, and the disobedient horses were chopped to death with an axe, and the docile and obedient were taken away.

Many fine warhorses only obeyed the orders of their masters and are now in a pool of blood. The tyrannical factor in the blood of the orcs was triggered, and the combat power was raised to a higher level. Many shouted long live the lord, and with a long line of horses behind them, they rampaged through the camp.

Siegel is casting a large-scale spell, using temporary runestones as nodes to construct a battlefield magic circle. If some archmages come to use it, they can continuously release fireballs or rain acid rain. But Siegel can only control relatively simple spells in this way. Such as Silent Phantom.

He kept creating scenes of the tragic death of human soldiers and increasing the number of corpses on the ground. Like a lie, if repeated many times, it may be taken as the truth. The Confederate casualties were thus exaggerated, one by one the fleeing soldiers. With rumors, with fear, with broken morale, a chain reaction was formed.

"It's lost, really fast." Baron Brown looked at the rout of the southern coalition. Only the flags of the three families were still flying, barely holding on in the chaos. Many soldiers fled in a panic, automatically gathering under those flags. Seeing that the situation was not good, they fled south along the Ore Avenue with the defeated soldiers.

The nobles threw away their armor, but the peasant soldiers were in much better shape. Since they brought their own weapons, this equipment was their entire property. Participating in battles is for extra income, but you can't lose your capital. They have been sleeping in light armor, so they can escape armed. Therefore, these people still have a certain fighting power, and they occupy the advantage in numbers. If they are pressed, they may cause accidents.

There is still much resistance in the camp. Some knights formed battle formations to fight friendly forces that were chaotic because of the bombing of the camp. They shouted and shouted, supporting each other. Siegel ordered Mana to blow the horn and assemble the party. These warriors who are still insisting do not need to confront them head-on, it will appear too inefficient.

Baron Brown came to Siegel, congratulated him in advance, and asked, "What's your plan next?"

"Pursue along the Ore Avenue," Siegel said. "Are you coming?"

"It's not good to chase the routed army, isn't it?" Baron Brown frowned: "After this battle, you can already become a powerful noble in the southern part of the New World, and some small lords will defect to you. So it would be better to show kindness at this time. ."

Siegel thought for a moment, then said, "You have some truth in what you say, but since they dare to come to my territory, they should pay the price. It's easy to come. It can't be that easy to go."

He turned his head and said to Mana: "Lead the cavalry to chase along the way. If you put down your weapons and surrender, leave him alone, and don't be merciful to others. After dawn, you must start your return journey. If you can bring prisoners, it doesn't matter if you don't. Your safety Put it first."

"What if there are nobles who demand prisoner treatment?"

Siegel looked at Baron Brown, then said, "A waste of time. Mining labor has some value. Why keep the nobles?"

Mana nodded. She was always loyal and carried out Siegel's orders meticulously.

Naturally, Baron Brown would not open his mouth to stop this order. Those nobles who were closely related to him received the message at the same time as the battle began, and they hid in the corner of the camp to avoid the chaotic scene. Whether the other nobles live or die, Baron Brown does not care, the ransom looks good, but it is never as affordable as the land.

He thought about it carefully and said, "Baron Siegel, I have a bold request. I don't know if I can invite you to introduce the mages of the Federation. If I can invite one or two as advisors to the territory, I will be very honored. "

"As a resident mage, I'm afraid your current territory is not very attractive. But if you invite a spellcaster to cast spells for you, it can be negotiated."

"I understand, if you were asked to cast a fireball on the battlefield for a day, how much would it cost?"

"One day?" Siegel shook his head: "The Mages Association once had a guide, or it was used by internal mages, about asking other mages to assist in spell testing. In a safe laboratory, if someone asks me to cast a fireball, the association will The prescribed fee is 200 gold coins. Considering the danger of the battlefield and the delay in traveling back and forth, you need to prepare about 350 gold coins for a fireball to reach you. Of course, if the number is large, the time will be more concentrated , the price can be lowered a little bit.”

Baron Brown smiled wryly and never brought up the subject again. He suddenly felt that the charge of the priest of the warrior **** was not too outrageous. It is no wonder that the southern coalition will fail. If six mages can be hired, one of them will continue to cast spells. He calculated it in his heart. After a whole day, if every spell was counted as a fireball, the amount of gold coins made him stunned.

"Mr. Baron, your soldiers are chasing the enemy on Ore Avenue. I don't know what to do with these people in the camp?" Baron Brown said: "It's better to hand it over to my soldiers and see if they have any intention of surrendering."

Siegel understood his intention, so he said: "All the spoils. You can take half. As for those knights..." The mage thought for a while: "I only need artisans, all craftsmen, ordinary farmers."

"Deal. You are a very generous lord," said Baron Brown.

"Don't be in a hurry to praise me, there is one thing I need to tell you." The mage looked serious. Staring into Brown's eyes: "Your brother Patrick, he was in contact with the mages of the Knox Common Order and was cast with mind-affecting spells. While he came up with the plan to attack the catapult camp, he also helped my enemy set up Trap with intent to kill me. It wasn't his intent. I'll do nothing to him. As long as you're sure he's completely free from the spell, you can leave Myr. You can send someone over at any time, whether it's a servant or a Guard, everything is up to you."

"How long will it take?"

"If the effect is good, it will take about a month or two."

"You are being cautious, but I understand the matter," Sir Brown said. "I want the best care for my brother."

"There's nothing wrong with that."

Brown stretched, moved his muscles and bones, and patted his cheek. Finally, he can no longer play the clown among the southern lords, and he has changed back to the confident, courageous, young and promising lord. Although compared with Siegel, he is slightly inferior. But after realizing what he was missing, he believed he could catch up.

What is the Knox Commons? Seems like a hostile relationship with Siegel. They are too dangerous, and while they may be powerful, it is better not to touch them. The Mages Association is in Waterdeep City. It may be better to consult the Mages. Even if there are no Mages, it is also good to make some apprentices, cultivate a good relationship, and plan for the future. No wonder that Waterdeep City can become the largest city in the New World, knowing that a group of businessmen cannot have such great ability. It was all the work of the mages.

While thinking about establishing contact with the Mages Association, he led his men to persuade the remaining knights to surrender, maybe he could find a good talent. Artisans and farmers, while bringing in income, are now in chaos in the South. With knights and troops there is territory. As for the distribution of the spoils, it would be no problem to get more weapons and armor by yourself. Leave other things in Heim's collar, and it would be too troublesome to carry them back.

Watching Sir Brown leave, Siegel immediately ordered the army to return. Everyone was on guard, and they didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they returned to the city wall. Mana had been waiting for them here. After her cavalry made a circle, they returned to Myr along the passage of Zebra Mountain.

"According to the pre-determined secret language, safety first is to return to the defense and avoid the city wall being empty." Mana reported to Siegel: "We only chased ten miles on the road, and the team on the Ore Avenue was scattered, making it difficult for them to organize. Get up. Several noble guards shot arrows at us, and some were injured, but thankfully there were no attritions."

"Well~www.readwn.com~ If these soldiers can go back, the south will be in chaos for a while, which will leave enough time for our Heim Territory to develop." Siegel turned to face the soldiers on the expedition and said loudly: "This battle, we have won! Peace will be restored to Heimland. Let us remember those soldiers who died and be forever grateful for their sacrifices."

"Facts once again prove that even against the combined forces of the southern lords, Heimland is invincible! Without the concerted efforts of humans, orcs, elves, gnomes and dwarves, there is no point in having strong walls. We use You have defended your homeland with both hands, and each of you should be proud!"

"All soldiers, city guards and militiamen, will be rewarded, and the families of those who died will also receive a pension. At the same time, I order that this year all the inhabitants of the territory will be exempted from the poll tax, and that the forests and rivers will be opened for three days, so that the hunters can Go hunt and bring back meat to improve life!"

The soldiers cheered loudly, and even the dwarves who helped the fists joined the ranks. Only Erinte frowned, and he had to explain the mobilization order. Anyone who goes out to fight with Siegel can dine in the Hall of Myr City, where delicious food and wine are prepared. However, the other soldiers still have to stand guard and can really rest until there are no enemies in sight. (To be continued.)
