We are in Terra and there is no book to read.

Of course, this does not mean that the Letanians will not fight.With their race's physical fitness being weaker than that of Sakaz, Letania's knights were able to fight Sakaz one-on-one, or even one-on-two.Letania's comprehensive national strength, which is stronger than Kazdare, has been demonstrated to a certain extent.

Unfortunately, there are too few.Facing the mass charge of Sakaz infantry, they were lost in the crowd and disappeared.

On the battlefield, Sakaz was harvesting life like he was chopping melons and vegetables. Moreover, Sakaz's magicians rushed in along with the infantry. Letania's magicians suffered a double blow in the face.

There are fewer and fewer familiar people, and the companions I know are lying on the ground lifeless.The miserable death scene made the living people tremble, and there were constant shouts of killing from the side...

Seeing Sakaz rushing towards him with blood all over his body and a ferocious face, fear began to accumulate in his heart, and finally overcame his obedience to the order.

The soldiers who had not yet engaged the enemy dropped their weapons, turned around and rushed to the rear.With the first deserter, there will naturally be a second one, and a snowballing rout begins.

The collapse of the left wing affected the center responsible for the front, which in turn affected the right wing.With one move, the whole body was affected, and the entire Leitania front began to retreat.

Letania's front-line command has not been able to issue any effective instructions so far. Everything happened too fast, and it was overwhelmed just after the fight with Sakaz.

Grand Duke Duden, who was in charge of commanding the entire army, ordered the soldiers in the rear to kill the defeated troops directly to prevent the formation from being overwhelmed.As long as the formation remains, the troops will still be able to fight.Moreover, the casualties of the troops were relatively small when they fought against each other. The real heavy bleeding often occurred when they retreated. If they did not block Sakaz, the 25 people would be finished.

But the army here does not belong to Letania, but to the elector and various nobles, and they do not agree with this order.

'If my men kill the Elector's soldiers, won't they be retaliated against? '

'This guy wants to kill us! '

Thoughts like this were fermenting in their minds, and Grand Duke Duden's order was tampered with by them.Become a soldier in the rear and maintain the formation, waiting for combat orders.

As soon as the order was issued, the soldiers had to pull up the front with a strong attitude, but how could they stop the surge of defeated troops?As a result, someone fell to the ground during the pushing, while the people behind him moved forward desperately, and a tens of thousands of people trampled on each other began...

"Your Majesty, our infantry suffered more than 3000 casualties and more than 5000 were lightly or seriously wounded. The cavalry suffered more than 500 casualties and 107 were lightly or seriously wounded."

"Ah."

Teresica responded. He didn't know what happened. He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eyes and was now being examined by a military doctor.

"Go on, how's it going over there in Letania?"

"It's unclear how many people we killed on the Letania side. We only know that 11 of them died and we captured 14 prisoners."

Manfred checked the file, "On the battlefield, there were 2500 gramophones left by the Letanians, and preliminary inspections found more than 1000 intact. Also, it was confirmed that the top commander of Letania was Du The Grand Duke."

"Where are the people? How many nobles have been captured?"

"Your Majesty, the Grand Duke Duden led his troops back to the military camp in Leitania to prepare for defense. When we attacked, he was killed by an infantry cannon. As for the other nobles... they all ran away in land vehicles. , we can’t catch up.”

Manfred asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

"Wait, either continue fighting or start negotiating."

After the military doctor rinsed him with saline for a while, Teresica felt that the pain had subsided a lot. He stood up and said: "We have burned the entire eastern part of Leitania, and there are no supplies at all. We can't defeat it. We can wait for Letania’s next move.”

.........

That night, the battle report from the front line was sent back to Letania. Looking at the numbers on it, the electors suddenly felt dizzy.

25 people, all lost in one battle?What should I do now?

'Grand Duke Duden acted recklessly, causing the war to fail and all titles and titles to be wiped out. '

After urgently issuing a statement to all walks of life in Leitania, they gathered together to discuss what to do next.

But a group of nobles could not come up with any results after discussing. After wasting a while, they finally remembered a person beside them who did have some military skills-Snitz.

After helping Letania clear out the Sakaz forces in the country, this Kuranta immediately resigned from the position of military advisor, and now he was once again invited into the tower by the selected emperors.

"...Mr. Snits, the current situation in Letania is like this. Is there a high risk of Sakaz calling?"

This is the most worrying issue for the electors. In their eyes, even 25 people can't stop Sakaz, and there are currently 5 people on the border. Wouldn't it be easy for Sakaz to come in?

"The eastern part of Leitania has been burned by Sakaz. If they attack, they will have to transport supplies here from Kazdaele. Sakaz does not have this ability."

"But they also have transport ships!"

"That will form a fragile supply line. I don't think Sakaz would behave so irrationally."

Snits asserted, much to the relief of the Electors.

It seems that their safety is no longer a problem.

"Then what can Sakaz do to deal with it?"

An elector looked at Snits, but he shook his head, "I am not a military personnel in Letania, and I don't know the situation in Letania, so I can't give any advice. Should we continue fighting or negotiate for peace? , it depends on your own thoughts.”

The lights in the tower were not extinguished all night long, and people kept arriving and leaving in a hurry. Two groups of people left Letania, going all the way to Casimir and all the way to Victoria.

Chapter 151

Casimir, Grand Knight.

Russell stood in the office of the Supervisory Commission building, looking down at the scene of the Grand Knights through the clean floor-to-ceiling windows.

High-rise buildings are rising all over the place. It is already late at night, but the lights on the streets are still in working condition, and entertainment venues are dotted at every crowded street intersection.

There are also huge billboards erected on the road that read.

'Want to be a knight?Come and participate in the knight competition, become a competitive knight, and earn money that belongs to you. '

Since the last battle with Sakaz, the Knights of War have lost control of the city.Now how Casimir's city is built and developed depends entirely on the wishes of his followers.

The retinues were not satisfied with gaining control of the city. In order to further undermine the status of the war knights, they started a gladiatorial sport and named the participants athletic knights.

Although they all have the word knight, everyone can participate in competitive knights.The followers are using this method to erase the awe of ordinary people towards knights.

Of course, in order to prevent the knights from fighting from rising up directly, the servants also gave some comfort and feedback.

They strongly supported the military expenditures of the Conquest Knights. From a national level, Casimir was becoming more powerful, but from the perspective of the Conquest Knights, Russell felt that they were losing their future bit by bit.

'If you can take money, no one will think about making money. '

Russell sighed helplessly. Maybe if he was a little confused, his life would be easier?

"Grand Knight Commander, the messenger outside has not left yet."

"I see."

The gloom on Russell's face deepened. Last time, the subordinates were unwilling to start a war, but today the subordinates took the initiative to find her side and asked her to send war knights to help Letania deal with Sakaz.

Because an envoy from Letania came over and promised to provide tariff concessions to Casimir's Chamber of Commerce, these money-minded guys couldn't bear it anymore and completely ignored the defeat that Letania had just suffered. .

"The Great Knight Commander..."

"I see, let them in."

Russell glanced at his adjutant and sighed helplessly, how much did he pay you for working so hard?

"Dear Grand Knight, I am the special envoy of the Elector of Letania, and I am delivering the Elector's letter to you..."

"I know all the agreements to be signed. Let's get started. The battle situation is changing rapidly."

After hearing this, the special envoy quickly took out the document, and Russell signed his name.

Although Duden took the blame, Letania still summarized the reasons for the failure.They believe that the army in the central region has been disconnected from actual combat for a long time, so it lacks combat effectiveness.

It just so happened that the Sakaz operation caused the population of Leitania to gather in the city, and they also had a lot of money in their hands.So the administrators of Leitania levied a war tax on them and conscripted them into new troops to replace the border troops defending Casimir.

These troops are truly elite and have sufficient practical experience.

In order to prevent problems on the border, the electors signed a treaty of friendship with Casimir and requested an army of 2 beast-controlling knights in the form of volunteers.

But this was not enough for Letania, who had a rich wallet. They approached Victoria and signed a friendship agreement with him, and Victoria also sent a 1-strong parliamentary force as a countermeasure to Letania. support.

After receiving the troops, the electors also secretly replaced the garrison stationed at the Villers border with new troops. The two withdrawn border troops merged with Victoria and Casimir's dispatched troops to reorganize a 30-strong army. An army of men.

The commander of this legion was Snitz. Originally, he did not want to get involved in this muddy water, but the Elector took out a letter of appointment signed by Russell.

There was no choice now, Snitz could only lead this army and march towards Kazdaele.

.........

After the battle with Leitania, there is no need for Sarkaz's troops to stay in the desert anymore. There will be losses in the delivery of supplies.After cleaning up the various scraps that could be used on the battlefield, Sarkaz returned to Kazdale with the harvested gramophone and the captured prisoners.

These 14 captive Kazdel will not be returned to Letania, because Kazdel's special factory still needs a lot of labor machines.

As for Kazdaele's military factory, many research groups' development studios are here, and they are dividing up the spoils from Leitania.

Letania's spell-casting unit, knight's armor, and cold weapons that can cause spell damage, once they master the technology, they will become Sakaz's help in the future.

But the most important thing is Letania's gramophone. Its ability to continuously release Originium skills without relying on additional power is still very useful.It's not that Kazdel, the mechanical structure in it, can't produce, it's just that it can't convert the inspired form of Originium technology into sound.

Leitania has adopted a policy of comprehensive compulsory education in Originium skills. There are many captives who know how to use sound to stimulate Originium skills, and there are also many technicians who maintain gramophones.Teresica has ordered the Pardoner to prepare for large-scale interrogation of the Letanians, or to directly extract the knowledge from some people's brains to obtain the method for sound-activated Source Stone skills.

Then Banshee was responsible for trying to change the source stone skill's activation form from characters to sounds.Because for now, only the banshee family has some people who are familiar with music.

As for Teresica herself, he was taken away by Warfarin as soon as he entered the city. She had prepared various medical equipment at the royal residence and began to conduct various examinations.

"Eyes, look at the camera! Hold on...don't close your eyes!"

A general physical examination was fine for him, but the fundus examination he was undergoing now was too painful, as his eyes had to look directly at the camera's flash.

"what's the result?"

Teresica asked curiously. When it first started to hurt, it was really a bit painful.

"The crystal density of the blood origin stone has not increased...the blood test is basically fine, but the intraocular pressure is a bit high."

Warfarin flipped through the checklist and asked, "Did you not sleep well these past few nights? Or maybe you didn't sleep at all."

"Uh... I stayed up late for a while and need to revise the battle plan."

Looking at Warfarin's scrutinizing look, Teresica smiled sheepishly.

"It doesn't hurt anymore. Warfarin, are you okay? It's okay... Then I'll leave first."

"...Hey! Get the eye drops! Don't stay up late!"

Warfarin chased him out with a medicine bottle. No problem could be found on the examination, so she could only prescribe some eye drops.

"Don't worry, I will pay attention."

Teresica responded, and as soon as she took a step out, she turned back and said, "We still have several thousand wounded soldiers who will be sent back by the transport ship. Warfarin, you must make preparations."

"Don't worry, I know it well. You don't need to worry about such small things. Just take good care of yourself."

"I will, I will..."

Like a child who couldn't wait to go out to play, Teresica ran away and disappeared without a trace.

He quickly came to the meeting hall, where the leader of the shapeshifters was already waiting for him.

"Your Majesty, the situation is not good."

The leader of the Transformers took out two small notes and said, "There are two groups of people going out from the border in Letania. One group is heading towards Victoria, and the other group is probably going to Casimir. Today , there are a large number of troops here in Leitania, entering the eastern region of Leitania, basically border defenders, including Philin and Kuranta people."

Teresica took the note and looked at it. He didn't speak but raised his eyes slightly, and then saw the same worry as him in the expression of the leader of the Transformers.

"This Letania wants to sell her blood to fight with us again."

Chapter 152 Ballista

It is still unclear what type of troops Victoria reinforced to Letania, but Casimir must be a beast-controlling knight, so Kazdaele's cavalry advantage disappeared.At the same time, Leitania still has a numerical advantage, and field operations have become an undesirable option. Kazdel must prepare for a defensive operation.

Teresica sighed helplessly. This Letania is really a big business. It just lost 25 troops, and then changed hands to free up 30 troops, and they were not new recruits. Eggs.

'The feeling of having so many cards in your hand is really enviable! '

An impromptu royal court meeting was held urgently, and Teresica summoned the heads of various departments, but before he could speak, the banshee took the lead and sent a letter.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter from Russell, the Grand Knight of Casimir."

Teresica reached out and took it, and after opening it, she found that it was indeed Russell's handwritten letter, with the meaning written in it.

The [-] beast-controlling knights participating in the Letanian War this time were all volunteers and did not represent Casimir's position.It was her fault for failing to manage her subordinates well, so no matter what kind of losses the twenty thousand beast master knights suffered, the Casimir Supervisory Committee would not interfere.

It was just her request in a private form that Snitz Linguang's life must be preserved and that Casimir would provide a ransom if he was captured.

"Did anyone in the files of the Casimir nobles we kept previously participate in the war in Leitania?"

Teresica looked at the shapeshifter patriarch aside, and he shook his head regretfully.

"No."

Several years later, the memories of those Casimir nobles who were caught by Sakaz with dirty information were still very clear in their minds, and they did not overestimate their capabilities and come to be Sakaz's opponents.

"It's really a pity."

Teresica said that the intelligence was sent a little late this time, otherwise they could use the black information as a threat to ask the Casimir nobles to join the volunteer force and act as internal agents for them in the Letania army.
