Chapter 615: Smart people make up their own interpretations
The battle between the traversers and the Thracian army was not visited by a third party. But the news can't be concealed. There is strategic magic in this world. Although you can't really see the situation on the scene, at least the movement of the army can be seen.
Under the observation of strategic magic, the Thracian army was divided into two parts, one slowly entered Tarakhan and then dispersed, the other hurriedly retreated, and after returning to the Marquis of Drake's territory, it stood still, which looked really strange.
All countries in the world have sent espionage personnel, some sneaked into the Marquis of Drake to inquire about news, and some came to this battlefield to see what happened. But all these spies returned without success-the traversers had already cleaned the battlefield, not to mention leaving no physical traces, even the magic traces were destroyed by their use of spells . Those spies tried to use spells to trace the scene of the battle, but they could only see a chaotic color, and could not see any valuable information; on the other hand, the Thracians also did a good job of keeping secrets, that After the defeated cavalry returned to the Marquis of Drake's territory, they never went out in the barracks.
King Richard of Thrace learned the news of the defeat for the first time, probably because he was used to it, he was not shocked, not even a big emotional fluctuation, but calmly asked about the situation of the cavalry troops. When he learned that the cavalry troops had retreated safely without damage, he smiled and issued an order to block the news.
That group of Thracian cavalry, who suffered a heavy mental blow, needed at least one or two years of training in the barracks in the Marquis of Drake before they could gradually walk out of the shadows and regain their former combat effectiveness. Before that, no outsiders would want to get even the slightest bit of news from them.
The Marquis of Drake has issued a death order, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to talk about this battle, and anyone who violates it will be killed.
Under this kind of strict control, spies from various countries have hit a wall one after another, and no one has received specific information. As for those who went through official channels and inquired through formal channels, the answers they got were uniformly "The Thracian army conducted a rapid marching exercise on the border, that's all."
Emergency marching drills? You are such a liar! Is it true that strategic magic doesn't exist? When we went, there were tens of thousands of troops, and when we came back, there were only 2,000. The entire infantry unit was sent outside... Is there such an exercise in the world?
But the Thracians insisted, and the messengers of various countries were helpless.
They had to turn to the other side to track down the situation.
On the other side, it is naturally Tara Khan.
However, Tarakhan is also very slick. Anthony said: "Although I received the news that the Thracians are coming to invade, and I am preparing to fight, in fact, our Tarakhan army has not had time to dispatch."
He really didn't lie, the Tarakhan Army did not dispatch at all, it was the traversers who dispatched.
Originally, according to Anthony's plan, it was the traversers who made the first battle, and the Tara Khan army attacked and ended. Who knows that he is still preparing here - there are not many Tarakhan troops, and they add up to about 2,000. This battle is difficult to fight, and he has no plans to let the subordinate lords mobilize the army - the battle is over there.
So to the outside world, that is—Count Tarahan really doesn’t know.
Really, truer than 24K gold.
The intelligence personnel of all parties are not fools, but smart people are easily fooled by themselves. It is a well-known news that Earl Tarakhan has reorganized his army and intends to fight; it is also a well-known fact that the Tarrahan army has not had time to dispatch.
Combining these two points, it is easy to come to the conclusion that "there is someone else who is fighting this battle, and it is really not the official Tarakhan".
However, in the Tarakhan region, apart from the official, what other forces can fight such a big battle?
Coincidentally, there really is such a force.
Northern barbarians.
The northern barbarians of Tarakhan are not powerful, but in the dense virgin forest, no one knows how many barbarians there are. And the barbarians often migrate inexplicably, maybe a large tribe has migrated...
Although the relationship between the northern barbarians and Tara Khan is not good, and there have been more than one battles in history, since the "Northern Demon King" appeared and ruled the northern territory by violence, more than once people have seen barbarians enter the northern territory to discuss business. , They buy metal equipment, wine and various daily necessities from the north, and exchange the specialties of the forest. Both buyers and sellers are very fair and reasonable - it is not reasonable to be unreasonable. Every time such a trade fair, the devil will Looking at it in person, who dares to make trouble in front of him?
Therefore, many people believe that the Demon King of the North has integrated the barbarians and the northern mob into an army. This army can be said to be all soldiers, God knows how many people can be drawn!
Since Tara Khan was not officially dispatched, it was dispatched to fight this battle, repelled the Thracian army, and ate the entire Thracian infantry force of at least six or seven thousand people. Demon king.
What's more, it wasn't long before the parties got about six thousand Thracian infantry captives divided in two, half sent to work in Tarakhan's mines, lumber mills, etc., and half taken to In the north, settled and became the news of the farmer.
This news further confirms the speculation of "the devil's shot" - other than the big devil, who else will bring a large number of people to the north to farm?
And he only brought half of them, and the remaining half must have been sold to Earl Tarakhan... Just look at the treatment of these people.
I have to say that when a person is prejudiced, he doesn't even need to fool around, he will try his best to make up his mind, come up with various reasons and various explanations, and explain some originally ridiculous things to look like the same thing .
The spies of all parties naturally found the captured Thracian infantry, and they came to a similar conclusion—unknown masters, terrifying beasts, and most importantly, the handsome demon king with white hair, It did happen.
In the traverser, Locke's appearance can be ranked in the top few. When Wang Tuhao closes the skin of the saint, he may be the most eye-catching among men.
Therefore, many of the Thracian infantry captives thought, "Ah, there is such a person, very handsome, with white hair, and a few swords floating around him."
Alright, that's right, totally right!
For example, this time, the final conclusion of the various forces was that the Demon King of the North was invincible, and led a group of barbarians and mob to defeat the Thracian army of 10,000 people, and captured more than 6,000 of them. He sold half of it to Count Tarahan and brought the remaining half back to the North.
In a few years, the army he can bring out will increase by at least 3,000 people!
