Chapter 571 Fall
It’s late January, 618 years of the New Calendar.

The Royal Army stormed the northern city, and two thousand magician troops jointly performed the fireball technique, just like stars falling from the night sky. Such a large-scale joint chanting, basically only humans have this level of organization and coordination ability. From the effect point of view, the power has already been It is extremely close to the super-level magic Meteor and Fire Rain.

The flames lit up the night, and the southern wall of the northern city collapsed. Various troops rushed into the city. Since the main components of the royal army were nobles, few people could resist the temptation to loot the city, even if a few nobles were unwilling to do so. Soldiers and knights who act rudely and can't stand the almost madness.

Even warrior captain Gazef was helpless.

However, the First Prince's think tank soon discovered anomalies. The number of Asians in the city was far less than expected. Weapons, daily supplies and food had all disappeared. The fire in the city was spreading at a rapid rate. It was obvious that this was a trap. .

The demi-humans learned enough lessons from the War of Watch, and like the bloody earl, they placed an extremely heavy weight on one end of the scale.

The Northern City is an important defense node for the future Asian Empire, but in the face of a hundred thousand troops, forcibly garrisoning it is like letting people slaughter and bleed. Instead of dying slowly, it is better to give the enemy a head-on attack at the cost. This city should be fought over by both sides. The focal point of the bridgehead suddenly became a bomb that killed countless soldiers.

After being reminded by the think tank, the first prince immediately ordered the entire army to shrink their battle formations.

Unfortunately, the demi-humans learned the essence of the Scarlet Earl, and all weapons and materials were transferred, leaving only the gold, silver, jewelry and valuable antique scrolls. In addition, there were also a large number of human women captured during the sweep. , a scroll of ancient paintings can turn ordinary soldiers into small landowners. Under the stimulation of war, human desires are infinitely magnified.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were trapped in the sweet trap woven by the demi-humans. Even if death was imminent, they would not wake up from their sweet dreams.

The ambush came as a matter of course. More than 10,000 six-legged beasts rushed out from the bushes at the side and rear to attack the magician troops of the Royal Army. They were not hidden in advance. They could not be hidden from the magic detection. The main force of this cavalry had just arrived and was planned. The manipulator has full confidence in people's greed and does not care whether it will cause deviations in actual execution, thereby affecting the results.

Hundreds of fireballs rose into the sky again. Not only was the number cut in half, but what was even more frightening was that there was no command at all when casting the spell. The fireballs were unable to form a clustering effect and were naturally unable to compete with super magic.

The six-legged beast cavalry rushed into the magician battle formation and brutally trampled the bodies of these precious talents. The chaotic release of magic was like a self-inflicted blow, exacerbating the chaotic scene.

Half an hour later, the resistance of the Royal Army completely collapsed, and the battlefield was cut into large and small areas. One of the two real main forces of the demihumans, the Snake Infantry, completed the encirclement.

The situation collapsed. The Royal Army successfully recaptured the target city and achieved its tactical goal, but it suffered a complete strategic defeat.

The warrior captain carrying a heavy treasure was as strong as an abnormal one, but after killing hundreds of snakes and six-legged beasts, he ran out of mana in his body and could only reorganize the warrior group to protect the first prince and break out.

The battle continued until dawn. Warrior Captain Gazef knocked out the first prince, took away the command, and set up an interception line in the southern part of the battlefield, not only to collect the defeated troops, but also to prevent the demihumans from going straight south to sweep into the royal territory and attack the royal capital.

It was winter, and the warrior captain ordered the warriors and magicians to fetch water and build the city. Only then could the disastrous consequences of the entire army being annihilated be saved.

But the defeat is already an indisputable fact.

In this battle, the Royal Army suffered 60,000 casualties, and gathered more than 30,000 remaining troops. Nearly 10,000 people disappeared or became refugees and thieves.

The demi-human combat commander [Snake King] destroyed the kingdom's room for interference in the buffer zone. As for the northern city, it was completely irrelevant because the kingdom's army lost the aggressiveness and courage to start a war with the demi-humans.

The king urgently ordered that the knights from the east and west immediately support the "Frozen City" and must stop the enemy from moving south. However, at this time, the demihuman army had already turned its spearhead and headed straight for the Lord's City. By capturing the north and then the northeastern region, from an overall perspective, we can achieve a sweeping trend and annex at least two-fifths of the Yestije Kingdom in one fell swoop.

……

Early February.

The plan to attack Anna was temporarily shelved, because neither Priscilla nor someone expected that the Royal Army could not even break out of the border. It should not have been like this anyway, and the defeat was almost to the point of losing logic.

The price of a defeat on the main battlefield is that the flanks have to face unimaginable pressure.

Twenty thousand snake-men troops and ten thousand six-legged beasts surrounded the Lord's City. Due to the success of the battle, the demi-humans adopted a defensive posture in the border area of ​​the Great Wall. If they can sweep the kingdom and have enough strategic depth, the Holy Kingdom will It is very likely that they will choose to give up on retrieving the target. After all, demihumans with both mobility and endurance are better in fighting in the wild.

In short, 30,000 snakemen troops and 40,000 bearmen troops are on their way, just like a coyote trying to bite off a lamb. The demi-humans obviously discovered the weakness and weakness of the kingdom and turned their attention to delicious food. But not on the thorny fat.

Lord's City, City Wall.

In the gatehouse made of refined steel at the rear, Priscilla was holding a meeting with the officers of the Knights.

As one of the six nobles, Ulowar has 50,000 troops, but 30 to 40% of them are semi-professional soldiers who lack training. They are usually responsible for local security and the arrest of thieves.

At this moment, there are 13,000 people guarding the city, so there is no problem in maintaining a stalemate. However, the enemy's army is already on the way, and the situation must be broken within a short period of time in order to maintain the territory.

Someone was half-leaning on the battlement, occasionally picking up a hunting bow and killing several demi-human leaders. At his feet were a dozen quivers specially prepared for him. Since one person can stand up to a group of hundreds of archers, he deserves this treatment. Not surprising either.

"Why don't you go down and try?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Under the battlements, the Vicious Man was slowly biting the steak. He was a transcendent with a comprehensive level of LV73. He was almost invincible in the kingdom. The premise was that he was fighting one-on-one. The reason why he couldn't say it absolutely was because of a certain person in the kingdom. The adventurer has a set of level mobile armor.

"You can't get out if you're stuck. The more spacious and crowded the place, the weaker I am. I can only kill a few important leaders at night." The Vicious Man replied helplessly. He killed the adamantium-level adventurer with one blow. Killing an ordinary demi-human is just one blow. This is the limitation of an assassin who is too biased, especially as the strongest assassin in the original empire. When faced with a siege, the accumulation of countless minor injuries is very unfriendly to the elderly. For him, it would not be wrong to exaggerate the current situation into tens of thousands of fine steel.

"Your Excellency should be able to do something about it."

"No." Jiang Yuan replied. He didn't think about the issues that consumed his energy now. The main tone of the trip was set from the beginning, just swordsmen.

The Vicious Man: "..."

Okay, okay (palms)
