Dust of History Chapter 71: Flying straight down (down)

It took only a day for the barbarians to reduce Westerly, a thriving city of commerce and manufacturing, to ruins. All the manufacturing workshops were destroyed, gold coins, jewelry, equipment stripped from corpses, cloth, etc. All useful materials that could be collected were gathered and loaded on looted carts, pulled by animals and lizards Heading north, ready to be transported back to Tatalia.

West got a lot of ordinary people who were too late to escape, but fortunately, the barbarians didn't massacre them and devour them alive as they imagined, but gathered them and drove them towards the royal city. In the eyes of these self-proclaimed warriors, the wanton massacre of civilians who are unable to resist is an extremely shameful act. But they were looking for the nobles among them. Once they found them, they would immediately tie them up and throw them into the pile of goods. They would be hostages who could be exchanged for quite a few gold coins.

The streets are full of corpses left after the battle, many large lizards are gnawing on them, and groups of dragonflies gather on some corpses that have begun to rot. After the battle, the barbarians frantically searched for the tavern, knocked open the door of the underground dimple, and took out a large barrel of wine, howling and drinking.

In the camp outside the city, King Taize was listening to the report of the two barbarian leaders who were in charge of attacking here. It was he who led a large number of beast trainers and lizardman troops to block the reinforcements coming from three places, and then rushed to defeat dozens of Griffon riders. If it weren't for the king's extraordinary military talent, Taitalia would never have gone so far this time and won so thoroughly.

Besides the lizardman patriarch, there are several young staff who are not dressed as barbarians, and a middle-aged man who looks honest and is completely a grocery store owner. These people are all helpers from Oufulai, and they have been completely trusted by King Taize in a short period of time, and they follow him closely.

"Your Majesty, the warriors of the Marshlands have completely conquered this place, and there is no opponent that cannot be defeated under the courage and fury of the warriors of the north. This is the biggest victory Tatalia has ever achieved against Elasi The result of the battle, your bravery and leadership have covered the sky and the sun. It is as unparalleled in the world as the wind on Sandefis Mountain. Now we are less than three hundred miles away from the royal city of Erasia, and we can attack in the next few days with all our strength Get there. You will become the first King of Tatalia to conquer Erathia." The leader of the barbarians who reported the situation was flushed, as if he drank alcohol on the way here, and danced and danced so emotionally that he couldn't control himself . These warriors who lived in swamps and wasteland all the year round adopted this method of complete conquest when they saw the richness of the Erasia Plain for the first time. This kind of stimulation seemed too great for them who originally lacked control. A little bit.

"The royal city of Erathia is just around the corner, and the culprit who has bullied us for many years is trembling there. Your Majesty, please order an attack. The axes and blood of the warriors of the north are enough to destroy them, let us stand Burn those church pigs at the top of those teachings, and let that **** Catherine moan and beg for mercy under your body." Another barbarian chief had red eyes. The voice was also hoarse, it seemed that the queen of Erasia was already under him. "All warriors are thirsting for the blood of the enemy, and I guarantee that their bravery will not disappoint you, Your Majesty."

The young barbarian king nodded, with an appreciative expression on his face, he said to the two chiefs: "Okay. You all step back. I tell you to rest well today. As for our For the next move, I will discuss with several staff officers before making a decision."

Just as the two barbarian leaders left, a golden shadow flew into the camp at an extremely fast speed, and suddenly landed on the middle-aged man beside the king. This is an adult dragonfly, with a slender body about a foot long. Spread out the transparent wings of about two feet, like an enlarged dragonfly. The speed and maneuverability of this large insect are no different from that of a dragonfly, which is beyond the reach of any bird.

The middle-aged man carefully unwrapped a folded note from the dragonfly, unfolded it, looked at it, and said to King Taize: "The ten thousand cavalry on the high ground have already withdrawn first, and they are heading towards the dragon fly with all their strength." Coming here at a gallop. It has now arrived in Pinsburg. It is expected to arrive in two days."

King Taize looked at the middle-aged man with a satisfied smile, and said: "Thanks to the presence of Mr. Anderson and his companions and students, we can understand the situation of the battle so clearly and anticipate the enemy's opportunities. Unexpectedly, we raised The dragonfly that has been around for hundreds of years can only play such a big role in the hands of druids. I guarantee that the faith of druids will flourish in the swamp country in the future."

The middle-aged man looked neither happy nor grateful for the king's regard. Just nodded a little stiffly.

This is already the third dragon fly that has received news today. The flying speed of the dragon fly is higher than that of most birds, and long-distance trekking is its strength. It can fly thousands of miles in half a day. Although the barbarians and animal trainers in Tatalia had a history of raising this insect for hundreds of years, they never thought of using it to transmit information. After all, the intelligence of insects was much lower than that of birds. Even the commander can only execute the simplest orders. And with the help of Drew's spells, the communication with these insects has improved by leaps and bounds, and this has allowed the dragonfly to truly play a role on the battlefield in a short period of time.

Druid Anderson came to Tatalia through Oufu's introduction. The druid was originally a heretic in Erathia and other religious countries, and some accidental incidents made him involved in Oufu's plan, and he is now wanted by Erathia. After completing the mission promised to Asa, he has no intention of participating in the war between Oufu and the coalition forces. He led some druid companions to Taitalia, but he did not expect that through the arrangement and recommendation of Sedros, he and his companions have now become popular in the eyes of King Taize.

After the death of the former court magician and shadow sage, these druids became the only group of spellcasters in Tatalia. Although their spell level is not as good as that of the previous shadow sage masters and apprentices, their effect on Taitalia is a hundred times that of the two magicians. Not only did they increase the production of dragon flies and swamp lizards in a short period of time, but they also used secret methods to make a kind of swamp vine tougher, so that the barbarians who had always been accustomed to fighting barebacked had a Armor for regular troops.

Druids have been suppressed by the church for many years, and it was only at this time that they really found a place to show their talents. Although Anderson himself is not interested in this fame and fortune, most of the druids under him They were young people, and their sudden exhalation and brow raising made them devote themselves wholeheartedly to their enthusiasm for contributing to Taitalia.

The news was transmitted flexibly through the dragon fly, and the barbarians even had the upper hand in the distribution of strategies and tactics, so that they could flexibly defeat Erasia's troops individually when they were not assembled. And the three news that came today. It also allows them to understand the current situation more clearly.

In addition to the news just received, the previous two troops from the west are also rushing here for news. King Taize asked the young man next to him: "You heard what the two leaders said just now. The morale of our swamp warriors is extremely high, and we are eagerly looking forward to my order to continue attacking. What do you think we should do?"

A young man immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, you must not rush forward. In fact, it is very lucky to be able to capture Westerly. Erasia's army was unable to gather in a hurry and was defeated by us one by one. Now In the royal city is the most elite Knights of the Kingdom, and if the situation is urgent, Celeste will definitely have reinforcements."

"There are two army divisions in the middle, and the situation will be reversed. Although our dragonfly has a huge advantage when dealing with ordinary soldiers, especially archers, it is invincible in the face of any large-scale high-level magic. Vulnerable."

"There are no spellcasters in our team. Although the combat effectiveness of the fighters is unquestionable, this defect will become a fatal injury in the case of fighting against the elite of Erasia. And the Kingdom Knights did not attack to rescue Huai. The reason for Stryde is also obvious. They just want to wait for the reinforcements withdrawn from the highlands in the east and the troops on the Nigan border in the west. "

"And in terms of military strength, we are also at an absolute disadvantage. If Erasia's army is fully assembled, there will be 60,000 people. Now is our last good chance to retreat. , If they don’t repair and assemble, they will never dare to pursue it without authorization. And as long as our army retreats to the swamp area, Erasia’s cavalry troops will not be able to pursue it.”

The words of the young people seemed a little anxious. From the two barbarian leaders just now, they could see how strong the desire of these soldiers to continue attacking now is, but it is definitely not the time to attack now. . It's time to retreat.

"Everyone, don't worry, I know that we should retreat and this war has brought unprecedented gains to Taitalia." King Taize nodded, stood up and looked at the young men around him. The staff officer said: "Do you know what the biggest gain of our Taitalia in this war is?"

"Naturally, so many materials have been seized. The materials plundered along the way and sent back to Tatalia are equivalent to the income of the whole country of Taitalia for ten years."

"The attack on Erasia was also an unprecedented achievement, even though Erasia's army did not suffer any fatal blows. But regardless of commercial agriculture, it was severely damaged along the way. Counting their waste of air force this time I am afraid that the food and human affairs that have been adjusted will not be recovered in a few years."

"The Beast Trainer Troop also got a good chance to actually fight. The dragonfly and lizard's fighting methods can be used more skillfully. They will definitely play a greater role in future battles."

King Taize shook his head and said: "No, everyone is wrong. These are the unprecedented achievements since the founding of Taitalia, but they are not the biggest gains." The man and druid Anderson's face swept across. Shen Sheng said: "The biggest gain is you. You are my biggest gain in Taitalia."

A few young people were a little flattered and said: "Your Majesty has praised you, and we are only doing our duty."

"It's not a compliment. If it weren't for the tactics you planned and the strategies you arranged, this battle would never have been able to achieve such a complete victory. The most important thing is to let me really understand. Fearless warriors are certainly on the battlefield It is very useful, but the more important thing is always outside the battlefield, it is the brain, not the muscles and bravery. This is probably the reason why Tatalia has been suppressed by Erasia for many years. .And now with your help, as long as I have more than ten years, Taitalia will definitely become a powerful country that can compete with the Erasia Tribunal." King Taize's appearance is certainly a bit ridiculous, but at this moment he The kind of spirit exuded by his face and voice is something that only true kings and leaders can have. "You will all be the hope for the rise of Tatalia. I know that you are all cultivated by Mr. Sedros. But I assure you that Tatalia will definitely be the best place for you to display your talents. Yours will never let you down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust." These young people were a little moved. The inherent concept of the people of Tatalia is extremely xenophobic, and some people have long been dissatisfied with these outsiders who have gained the trust of their king as soon as they came, but this is actually just that they follow Sedros's haha, It is only to assist King Taize in the military strategy. There are not many barbarians who are mentally developed, and none of them can become a staff who can analyze the situation in that kind of brave and arrogant folk style. And now King Taize's words are a formal acknowledgment of their importance and their status in Taitalia.

"Leave the order to take a day off today. The whole army will retreat tomorrow. By the way, let them prepare more forage. We can only leave Erasia with a real ruin."

At the same time, Celeste.

Pope Magnus was listening to the report of the priest who rushed back from the wild highlands. When he heard that one of the most elite heavy cavalry was wiped out under a forbidden spell, he just frowned, oh Just a sound.

"According to what we and several healers later found out, the scroll of the forbidden spell may have come from Dijagu, and the wanted criminal who can use necromantic magic is also in the Oufudi camp. If in Oufudi Behind them are the group of evil necromancers. Everything is unpredictable, so I came to ask His Majesty to make a decision..."

"Probably not." His Majesty the Pope said lightly. His voice was not loud, but "Oufu shouldn't be behind Deago. As for the scroll with the forbidden spell..." His Majesty the Pope slightly turned his head, and looked at Adela standing next to him bishop. "What do you think is going on?"

"Maybe...maybe they...came here from somewhere..." When asked suddenly, the cardinal's expression and voice were a little unnatural.

Her Majesty the Pope nodded, and said calmly: "Oh? It seems that Sedros and the others are really lucky, even this kind of thing can be obtained by chance."

The cardinal standing beside him had a few cold sweats on his face, but he also thought about it, and then said: "Your Majesty, according to their description of this forbidden curse, I can tell that it should be Taita The shadow magic of Nimbas, the great shadow sage of Lia, is a mutant offshoot of necromancer magic. It is said that Oufu's general Gru helped Prince Taize kill the shadow sage during the usurpation of the throne. This may be the time I got this forbidden scroll."

"So that's the case. Then, Di Yagu should have nothing to do with Oufu?"

"Yes. It must be like His Majesty. It is impossible for Oufu to have anything to do with Di Yagu."

"Well, that is to say. The scroll of the forbidden curse is the only one of Oufu's?"

"Maybe?" His Majesty's eyes were not cold, but the cardinal felt a layer of goose bumps on Xi's skin.

"Eh...maybe...there are still more." Adela hesitated, with a cloudy expression on his face, and finally said: "I heard that among the five towers of the Tower of Fangs, the tower master of the Tower of Flame, Asri* The division has been missing for some time. It is said that he was last seen near the Karondo Basin, and General Gechenlu of Ofo was there at that time. And it is said that the master Asri* wears a forbidden spell for many years The scroll...seems to be the Fire and Earth Forbidden Curse 'Meteor Fire Rain'."

His Majesty the Pope finally changed his face when he heard the word 'meteor fire shower'. Then he sighed, shook his head and said to himself: "These guys, if you don't have the ability to use them, don't make these things indiscriminately. How can a real strong man need these."

Bishop Adela quickly said: "This should be Oufu's last trump card~IndoMTL.com~ Although the power of this forbidden spell is huge, it lasts for a long time and is not suitable for dealing with mobile troops."

"The last trump card? Since you can even think of it, then this cannot be the last trump card. A good tactician will never easily reveal his last trump card. How could Cedros not know this Reasonable?" The pope sighed and lowered his head to think.

Adela and the priest kneeling below did not dare to make a sound, waiting quietly for His Majesty the Pope.

Finally the pope raised his head, sighed again, and for the first time showed the fatigue of an old man on his face, and said to the priest: "Elasia also sent people this morning to ask for reinforcements. , It seems that the situation is not very good. After you go back, tell the generals of the coalition army to let them withdraw temporarily this time."

"Yes." The priest withdrew, although he could feel that there seemed to be something strange in the words of His Majesty the Pope and the Cardinal, but he did not dare, and would not guess without authorization. A man in his position always knows what to know.

After the **** withdrew, the pope was stunned for a while, and then said to Adela: "You call the templar who rescued Will Skye last time and then submitted tactical suggestions."
