Chapter 1080
While the ruins of Duanjieshan are still struggling at the end of the severe cold, the melting pot town closer to the south has ushered in the first green sprout of the new year; once covered by snow and ice The Sifang Avenue finally revealed its original appearance.
This is the first stop of Loren's army heading south. Leaving Furnace Town and continuing south, you will find the ferry of the Gem River, bypassing the Elman Mountains and Western Sacrament, and heading directly to the Imperial Capital Golovin.
Along with him was the Byrne Knight Legion who had evacuated from the Battle of the Blood Skeleton Valley with 1,500 people. Hundreds of people are the only remaining elite troops that can continue to fight.
The remaining remnants all followed Charlotte and Isaac and returned to Byrne. Of course, it was also mixed with the reluctance of a certain arrogant and the little wizard. Reluctant to give up, but was brought back to Scarlet Blood Castle by Charlotte's coax and pester.
Although there are only 1,500 people left, but fortunately, it is almost impossible to encounter any enemies during the whole journey. There are villages, castles and towns everywhere along the way, not to worry about supplies and rest. It's a lot of comfort.
It’s okay even if you encounter the enemy—the entire army is full of cavalry, Loren can withdraw from the battlefield at any time, and at the same time ask for help from Brandon, who is heading south, and the Legion soldiers of the 30,000 Empire can rush at any time. battlefield.
Fighting the Azores head-to-head in the open plains, and fighting in the local area, the "hillies" of East Sackland are not at all intimidated.
What's more, Loren's task is to arrive at Imperial Capital as soon as possible, and meet the 80,000 byrne Legion that is already garrisoned there-even if he encounters an enemy, it is what he should do to evacuate as soon as possible.
One thousand and five hundred Byrne Knights are enough to deal with the encounter of the overwhelming majority.
As for why you should choose Furnace Town as your last stop-because Loren is greedy.
As the largest ordnance logistics supply place in East Sackland, Loren, who has visited once, was very impressed here-hundreds of workshops, the empire’s premier alchemist Academy, Cream of the crop equipment, as well as piles of various weapons and equipment.
Although I don’t have to think about it, I can guess that those materials overwhelming majority must have been swept away by Brandon, otherwise he would be impossible to arm his 30,000 Legion anyway; but Loren’s trip The purpose is not those materials, but the craftsmen and wizards of Forgetown.
After the fall of Eboden, Byrne has retreated from Loren himself to the nine-pointed star wizard tower of the Scarlet Blood Castle, and has obtained a very complete wizard theory system, which is matched with a batch of qualified As a craftsman, he can truly bring out the power of this system and become an important help for Byrne.
These people are all the most skilled weapon artisans and wizards, and they are as good as the Empire Peak, even if they are not inferior to the dwarves-Loren would certainly not beat them in peacetime. Note, but now the situation is special, and there is a chance to dig into the corner of the empire.
It doesn’t matter even if Brandon asks himself for these people afterwards-the advantage of the system and organization is that as long as the system and organization are well constructed, there is no need to worry about the loss of personnel. Byrne can be in the vacant position. To rebuild their own team.
The idea is very good, and Loren also knows that things will not be that simple; but what he didn't expect is that the problem is more troublesome than he thought.
"Occupied?"
Looking at the gasping for breath and rushed back to send information to Hunter Fiend, the black hair wizard's expression was slightly surprised: "This is East Sackland. How could the hinterland of the prince’s collar be occupied by the enemy?"
"Not the long ears of the Azores, Lord Duke." Fiend Hunter's complexion is also ugly, and his shoulders and chest are affected a bit. Minor injuries:
"It's the rebels."
"The rebels?"
"That's right, it's the gang of hillbillies from East Sackland. "Fiend gnashing teeth said: "This group of dregs who fled from the battlefield of Eboden joined forces with the landlords of East Sackland who rebelled against Imperial Capital's orders. They occupied Furnace Town while Legion went north to rescue the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain. !"
"It's not just them-when we retreated, we also found the bodies of a few Azorean elves outside the Forge Town." Lusien on the side glanced at the hunter Fiend , Added:
"At least a small number of Azorean elves have crossed the Eboden line and entered the hinterland of East Sacrament-the number is unknown, because no large-scale Legion has been seen. Traces of action."
"But there should be a lot of them. Almost all of the villages around Furnace Town were destroyed; some were robbed by the rebels, some were not-there was no property at all. However, the whole village was wiped out by the whole village, and there was almost no sign of obvious resistance. It should have been attacked by a small group of Azorean elves."
"Desert, rebels, and trailing Pursuing them, the Azores who rushed into the hinterland of East Sacland... Now all along the Gem River are large and small, and there are battle groups running around, fighting everywhere!"
paused, gray Hitomi boy continued: "This rebel army that currently occupies Furnace Town should be the biggest'power' around it. It can even withstand the attacks of the Azores by relying on the city wall and materials in Furnace Town."
"Now that we are going to take down Furnace, it will almost certainly cause a reaction around us-we will not only kill the rebels in Furnace, but maybe even the deserters and elves to fight; there are not many of them, but all of them There should also be thousands of people."
"If that happens, we may be ready to stand in the Forge Town and wait for rescue, Your Royal Highness Brandon."
black hair wizard frowns.
I originally thought that the breakthrough Eboden line of defense was only the 30,000 elves warrior army that besieged the Imperial Capital along the gem Henan. At least the overwhelming majority Legion system should be considered complete.
As for the rebels in East Sacrament... Two or three months, even if Brandon has not been able to completely put down the rebellion, at least the overwhelming majority area, especially the hinterland near the Gem River, should have been Yu stable.
It now appears that the situation is far more complicated than he at first predicted.
As Lu Sien continued to add, a series of images flooded into the black hair wizard's mind.
The Azorean elves assembled in Eboden-or the "Little Elf Prince" gradually found the gaps and weaknesses in Eboden's defense line after many attempted raids, and then launched Fierce attack;
The extraordinary fierce offensive greatly exceeded the imagination of the empire. The originally tight defense line gradually collapsed and collapsed; The river, water and land advance side by side, completely breakthrough the line of defense, and march towards Imperial Capital Golovin.
At this time, the two Legion commanders of Eboden's line of defense-Secretary of War Servelin and Grand Duke Uli Wiertz of Allermans, had differences.
The Secretary of Military Affairs insisted on continuing to stick to the Eboden line of defense, but Grand Duke Yuli Wertz believed that the line of defense should be abandoned, chasing the 30,000 pioneers of the Azores, and defending the Imperial Capital.
The result of the contradiction between the two sides is that the Eboden line of defense is severely lacking, and it finally collapsed under the tide of the Azores offensive.
So, a certain "coincidence" that no one expected, just started as a matter of course.
The reloading of the empire, Legion didn't expect, the elves’ offensive was so fierce that they were defeated all the way and the establishment was scattered, deserters mixed with rebels and retreated into the hinterland of the empire;
The feint spirit didn't expect that the empire collapsed so fast, so he could only pursue it all the way, but also rushed into the Prince of East Sackland with the deserters;
All the way to the south to attack the spirit of Imperial Capital Little Prince, I am afraid that he has no time to gather the scattered troops; and as the vanguard like a hot knife through butter breaks down the defense of the empire, unable to keep up with the large troops, more and more troops are scattered.
The two sides just fought and ran like this. In the end, the establishment of both sides completely collapsed, and they were scattered everywhere like beans. No one could contact each other, and eventually became one Hundred Men after another. The Squad-scale battle group has fallen into a situation where it is fighting on its own.
Those who flee can't become an army, and those who chase can't become an army...it's almost the real scene of the battlefield in East Sackland right now.
Since one minute of silence, Loren couldn't help but sighed.
"Can you find a way to get around?"
Since the situation is completely out of control, Loren does not intend to stay here too much; he has to go to Imperial Capital and worship as soon as possible Well, Legion converges, no more time can be wasted here.
As for the mess in front of me, I will leave it to Brandon.
"Duke, I’m afraid I can’t."
White Horse Peak count Rigeler said solemnly, with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "The location of Furnace Town is very important-although the terrain around here is still It’s flat, but it also means that our whereabouts are fully exposed in front of them."
"If we can’t ensure safety behind us, it means that when we board the ship in the port, it’s very likely Suffered from a sneak attack from behind."
"Unless detours, from the east into the Eileman Mountains, turn into Western Sacrament, and then go north to the Imperial Capital Golovin, you must secure the furnace town At least under the control of the empire-but in that case..."
Rigrel was still talking, but Loren knew what he wanted to say.
Once you choose to take a detour, you may not be able to meet the 80,000 byrne Legion that has already entered the city before the Imperial Capital Golovin is completely surrounded by the Azores army.
Unlucky, you may have to fight the enemy under the city.
"I said Regrel, are you exaggerating too much?" Lake City count Lanmalos was a bit disapproving: "This town is so big, we have a full 1,500 people. Cavalry, as long as the gang of East Sackland hillbillies dared to go out of the city, they came to take the initiative to die."
"Even if it's the same as you said, what's the point-we only have one thousand and five hundred People can’t defend this town at all; if you really go to war with them, it will inevitably alarm the surrounding large and small battle groups." The task is to get out of this quagmire, and avoid unnecessary battles!"
"I understand what you mean, but there is no need to make a fuss about nothing—even if they What if they see it, do they dare to attack a group of fully armed knights?"
"Who knows, if they are really so afraid of death, what if they have projectile weapons in their hands— —Have you ever thought about when dozens of hundreds of stone cannons and alchemy bombs fell from the sky when we boarded the ship, what was it like?!"
"How is it possible?!"
"Is it impossible?!"
The two of the giving tit for tat plus the black hair wizard, the three turned their heads "tacitly", looking towards the hunter Fiend who just came back from the investigation.
"Duke, and...two count adults..." Hunter Fiend twitched his throat, as if he didn't know how to explain:
"In fact, before we came, we just News has been received that in order to put down the rebellion as soon as possible, His Royal Highness Brandon Desalion has ordered a batch of heavy trebuchets and ballistas in Furnace Town for strikes in the castles of the lords of East Sacrament; but when they arrive at Duanjie Mountain At the time, he did not have these equipment in his Legion."
"It seems that all these siege weapons are left in Forge Town and fall into the hands of the rebels."
>
"..."Loren ·Torino.
"..." Lan Malos.
"..." Regrel.
"..." Lucien.
The solidified atmosphere lasted for one minute.
Well, it’s not the first time I have encountered such a bad thing, and it’s not the first time I was scammed by Brandon. It’s nothing at worst...Loren is so "comforting" himself.
Although if Brandon were here now, he might not be able to help but blow this guy up.
"Organize a raid-style feint to see if it can attract the attention of the rebels and keep them hiding in the town from coming out."
Indulge in a moment, Loren Make a decision: "Rigrel is right. We are wasting time in this kind of place, but we can't be worried because these guys are retreating-Lucien!"
"Yes! "
The leader of Skywing's body was shocked, and his expression was a bit excited in his determination.
"Led three hundred hunters Fiend, and waited until the evening to launch a raid from the city gates north and south of Furnace Town at the same time-there is no need to attack the city, let alone attack the city, but try to organize the momentum as much as possible. Some, make them feel safe to hide in the city."
"As you bid!"
"The rest of the Byrne Knights are ready to cover and hunt Fiend feint— —In the evening, take the squad as a unit and withdraw towards the port..."
Before the black hair wizard finished speaking, Lan Malos, who was a little frustrated, suddenly changed his expression, as if he lifted up subconsciously right hand, point behind the black hair wizard.
"Duke, forgive me for being rude...but I don't think you need to organize any feints." The cavalry commander who has always been carefree has a very interesting expression.
In the direction he was pointing, large swaths of smoke were rolling, and hitting in their direction-the skilful battlefield Lan Malos could judge the enemy's approximate strength from the smoke and dust at a glance Condition.
It is dominated by light and heavy infantry, probably without cavalry, the number is twice as many as the Byrne Knights, and it is a fast-moving force marching formation.
At the moment, there is only one enemy who can organize such a force and attack them...
"The rebels in Forgetown, they came up and died."
