Arad's Sword

Chapter 43
With a crisp sound of "snap", the exquisite porcelain wine glass was forcefully dropped to the floor and shattered into countless pieces, just like the mood of the owner.

"How did this happen, that damned Midi? Asrex! And that little girl, Fina!" In the large tent, Red Fox General Potter Seth roared, while Fenrir's His expression was not much better, "Two thousand elves, including archers, clerics, mages, and nightsaber cavalry, where did this group come from? Are those elves crazy? The human kingdom is looking for trouble!"

After the attack on Yorkshire, General Red Fox changed his previous aggressive style and always focused on stability.He integrated [-] soldiers from the Joseph family, and the [-]-strong army pushed forward to the territory of the Asrex family all the way, eradicated all the enemy strongholds along the way, and left enough defenders to ensure the rear and supplies. aisle.

Intermittently, he also intended to curry favor with the future Patriarch Fenrir, and also asked the young master to lead a few teams of thousands of people out for a raid, and nothing went wrong.

It took a whole week to go all the way, and finally arrived under the main city of Earl Asrex, which can be described as an extremely kingly and positive way of using troops, completely impeccable.

However, just as General Chihu was ready to attack the city with great contentment, bad news came from several places that the occupying forces had been raided.

An army of elves with terrifying combat effectiveness and an average level above level 15 appeared.This army completely defeated the thousand-man team in Chishi County and the 500-man team in Lanshui Village, and the blood wolf thousand-man team that was split out by the Joseph family and claimed to be the most attacking force, was completely wiped out by it. It is said that not even a single person escaped.

Although the main force did not suffer any losses, General Chihu would not allow any loss of a thousand-man team. 1 people are just ten teams of thousands of people. If you lose one today, you will lose one tomorrow. If this continues, won't it be a complete failure soon?

The current situation must not be allowed to continue, and that Midi must not be given any chance!

General Chihu secretly made a decision.And at this time, the curtain of the Chinese military tent was lifted.

One of the two uninvited guests was Quinine Joseph, an ambitious man who took advantage of his father's serious illness and designed traps to kill his brothers and sisters. His face was also extremely ugly.

The loss of a thousand-man team may be just a pain for the Seth family.But for the Joseph family whose total strength is only 2000, and only [-] people were brought out this time, this is a full half of the strength, and Quining has devoted a lot of effort to the Blood Wolf Brigade, which is known as the number one attack force!
Of course, Quinine couldn't sit still, so he immediately ran to Fenrir, wanting to ask for help.

The other guest, however, maintained a calm expression.

"I heard that the young master of the Asrex family found an army of elves and caused a lot of trouble. The famous Red Fox General is also troubled, right? I don't know if there is anything I can do to help place?" the visitor said.

The guest was about forty years old, dressed in an ordinary gray robe, and an ancient staff. He was tall, with a calm expression. He always squinted his eyes and looked like a nice gentleman. It's almost like those court scholars who get into the library and never come out.

His external identity is also a visiting scholar who lives in no fixed place. Now he acts as the alchemy consultant of the Seth family and acts with the army.

But General Chihu knew that if he underestimated the person in front of him, he might not even know that he was betrayed.

Because this person's true identity is one of the cadres of the famous Delos Empire Alchemist Guild.

"Nightmare Hand" Wiseman Newton.

Just as Midi speculated, the clutches of the empire have already penetrated into the Principality of Bel Mare, and it is still such a terrifying and ruthless "nightmare hand".

Seeing Wiseman coming uninvited, General Red Fox naturally cheered up.He smiled slightly, completely gone from the panic-stricken look just now, but showed a well-thought-out general demeanor, and said lightly: "Thank you Mr. Wiseman for your concern, but these are just some minor situations. Some unpredictable accidents, rather, it is precisely because of these accidents that we can distinguish who is a famous player and who is a mediocre person."

"Then I want to boldly ask the general, how do you plan to deal with it?" Naturally, Wiseman will not be dismissed with a single sentence, and the empire's investment in the Seth family also makes him indeed qualified to ask Ask, the next military policy.

"It's very simple. To deal with Midi's harassment, you only need one move. Gather your troops!" General Chihu replied without hesitation, "We can occupy the resources later, and first collect all the thousand-man teams placed outside. Come back, with an army of 3000 people, directly capture the lord's castle where [-] people are stationed, and hang Midi's father, the incompetent Earl Engelman, on the gallows! This way, this war will be over!"

There was nothing wrong with Chihu's answer.

There are many ways to end an aristocratic war, such as negotiation, such as attachment, such as surrender, such as compensation, and so on.The death of the lord is the most terrifying of them all.

Relying on an army of ten thousand people to surround the castle, and then capture the castle in a short period of time, capture Earl Engelman and execute him. , still needs to go through a series of complicated rituals, and there is no doubt that the Seth family will not allow this ritual to continue.

Therefore, Midi can only be an empty earl, and naturally he can't get any territory. In the end, this war will end no matter in reality, legally, or even morally.

It is the most correct, the most logical, and the most domineering way to use force to overcome ingenuity.

But because of such a reasonable approach, of course, when Midi went to look for reinforcements from the very beginning, he had already made arrangements in advance for the assumption that "the enemy suddenly started to attack".

"My lord, the Scarlet Flame Legion seems to be about to launch a general attack. Judging from this posture, the first wave of attack must be very violent." The chief knight Bartram stood on the tower of the castle and reported to Earl Engman.

Looking down from the castle, the surrounding scenery is clear at a glance.The Scarlet Flame Legion was so dense that they had already surrounded the entire castle. At this moment, they separated a team of thousands of people and marched towards the forest. Obviously, they were going to cut wood and make large-scale equipment for attacking the city.

It is undoubtedly a very strong signal to use siege equipment to attack directly without any consumption or temptation.

However, with an army of 3000 fighting against a castle guarded by only [-] people, the Red Flame Legion is not too big.

"Looks like it's time to use that." Earl Engelman nodded, Bartram understood, and immediately went down to arrange it.

In the early morning of the next day, when the first batch of siege machines of the Scarlet Flame Legion was completed, they suddenly discovered that the castle of Lord Asrex in front of them had changed beyond recognition.

Countless green and thick vines drilled out of the soil, climbed up the towering city wall, and covered the entire periphery of the castle with a layer of emerald green clothes.

"The vine of the demon world!" General Red Fox recognized this plant at a glance.

"Come on, you sons of the Seth family!" Bartram shouted loudly while standing on the top of the wall, slowly.

The Demon Vine is not just a summoned beast that Alice uses to attack, but more often than not, it is the best choice for castle defense.

Its magic resistance is very high, which makes the big magic that magicians have finally released ineffective.

Its torso was extremely elastic and resilient, wrapped outside the city wall like a layer of leather armor, making the effect of catapults and siege vehicles very poor.

If you want to climb up along the vine, the countless barbs protruding from it and the venom in the barbs will make the soldiers who are besieging the city miserable.

Even a fire attack has no effect.

Unless a targeted withering technique is used, or alchemy is used to bring down a large area of ​​acid rain, it is difficult to produce any effective results during the growth of the vines of the demon world. Sluggish.

This is undoubtedly an extremely powerful plant.

But of course, everything has advantages and disadvantages.

Feeding the vines of the demon world requires a complete demon vein, at least a hundred kilometers long.Or like Alice, first concentrate a large number of scattered magic veins, and then integrate them together for magic power delivery.

Under the castle of the Asrex family, of course there is no magic vein, otherwise this piece of land would not be the value of the Earldom, but the Dukedom.But an earl has a rich family after all. Although he doesn't have a magic vein, he can also maintain the growth of the demon vine by providing a large number of expensive magic crystals.

With the current reserve of magic crystals in stock, Earl Engelmann can support it for a whole week. During this period, the castle can be regarded as almost invincible.

"My son, what's next is up to you!" Earl Engelmann stood on the tower, looking at the distant western horizon, whispering to himself.Even though this was a last stand, and even though the Earl himself had never been on a real battlefield in his life, there was no anxiety or uneasiness in his eyes. On the contrary, it was a father's pride and expectation for his son.

The battlefield situation is ever-changing, even if it is a rebirth, Midi cannot make accurate predictions about things that have not happened in the previous life.However, his strategic vision can accurately make the most accurate arrangements for those situations that can be changed without change.

For example, it was arranged in advance for Bartram to use the vines of the demon world to delay time while preserving the strength of his own [-] defenders.

For the current Midi, that precious week can just be used to start the second phase of the offensive after the blitz, and it is also the most important part of the reversal.

"Finally entered the second stage." Midi took a deep breath, and then walked out from the hidden hill.

Behind him, there are two thousand elf warriors who are full of energy, high-spirited all the way, and full of fighting spirit.

But in front of his eyes was a magnificent castle that was carefully constructed.

The lord's castle of the Joseph family.
