All the contract girls want to marry me

This magic with no lethality is a seventh-level magic that consumes a lot of mana. In the past, no one would use it unless it was for show.

However, it was this kind of magic that dumbfounded the forward troops of the Hoffenhager family army.

They saw the heavy cavalry arrayed outside the mountain road,

Although there are only a few hundred people, such heavy cavalry running on the plains is like a heavy tank in the cold weapon era, and its damage to infantry is simply a reduced-dimensional blow.

The forward troops didn't even have time to cry before they faced the impact of this group of heavy tanks.

Debray was right in front of this group of heavy cavalry, and he wanted to lead the charge himself.

In his opinion, this battle is actually over now.

Next comes the harvesting stage.

The troops led by Debray charged forward and pushed back the troops leaving the valley, while a thousand light cavalry detoured to block the other end of the valley.

But they are not the main force of killing.

The real killer weapon is the archers ambushing on both sides of the mountain road.

These archers were camouflaged with leaves and branches and hid in several caves on the mountain wall.

Although the reconnaissance captain of Hoffenhage's army was very dedicated, the time given to him was too short after all. He could only make a general exploration, but did not find the thousands of archers ambushing on both sides.

It would take three to five days to completely explore both sides of the ten-kilometer mountain road.

From this simple order, it can be seen that Didier is completely ignorant of soldiers.

In the face of leaders who don't know how to fight, anything you say is in vain.

The investigation captain can only make judgments based on his own experience.

He believed that the probability of an ambush on this mountain road was less than 1%, but unfortunately this 1% was 100% tonight.

The investigation captain understood one thing instantly, Matthew was not dead.Not only did he not die, he also set a trap here for Didier to fall into.

Didier was dead, and there was no need for him to be buried with this willful fool.

He didn't want to take the side roads instead of taking the main road just to save a few hours. He didn't want to serve such a fool.

The reconnaissance captain made a wise choice. He foresaw the final outcome of the battle at the beginning of the battle and chose to fly out of the mountain road.

He had a good idea. He took advantage of the night and ran in disguise. Unless the Lundebel archers had night vision, he would be safe.

He ran wildly for hundreds of meters, watching the shouts of death getting farther and farther on the battlefield, and finally let out a sigh of relief.

Just when he was lucky to have escaped, he felt a pain in his chest. He lowered his head with difficulty and saw a javelin inserted from his back and out of his chest.

Although he was wearing chainmail, it was in vain in front of the magic javelin that had an armor-breaking effect.

He tried to turn around, only to see the lizard man carrying a dozen javelins slowly disappearing under the moonlight.

Why are there lizardmen?

The investigation captain was a little confused.

But these things have nothing to do with him.

He is already a dead person, and dead people don't need to know that much.He also knew that the outcome of the willful Didier would be even worse.

If you don't listen to what others say, you deserve this defeat!

Chapter 089 Burning

Didier, standing in the center of the battlefield, was stunned.

He watched helplessly as arrows flew past him, killing the chaotic soldiers and generals under his command.

He was dumbfounded.

He has never suffered any setbacks since he was a child.

Although Baron Fran is just a baron, because he controls the trading port, he can make a lot of money just by collecting tolls.

Didier grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth and never suffered any grievances, until his father provoked Matthew and attracted death.

Because the old baron obstructed the trade policy and was disrespectful to the new Earl Matthew, Matthew killed him for any reason and then tore his family into pieces.

Of course, Master Didier did not dare to confront the notorious Heartless Demon King. He escaped overnight and ran into the imperial capital.

Fortunately, he still has a group of old subordinates who are loyal to his father and the family's property in the imperial capital, so his life is quite comfortable, but the rich clothes and food of the past are impossible to come by.

Just when he thought his life would end like this, a stranger came to his door and told him a shocking secret.

His real father was Jessica Christensen Hoffenhager, King of Crythia.

In this way, the second spring of his life began.

In the past three years, he has been holding back and showing low-key humility in front of his new father, which has won his love. He finally waited for the opportunity to return to Lundebel.

He thought this was the moment when his life took off, but he didn't expect it was just a dream.

Compared with a cruel and cunning guy like Matthew, he is simply like a little sheep.

He stared blankly at the rain of arrows in the sky and the steep cliffs on both sides, closing his eyes and waiting for death.

Just when he gave up treatment, Adjutant Schwein rushed over.

If he had a choice, Adjutant Schwein would certainly hope that Master Didier would die soon. He did not want to be buried with such a person.

But he had no choice, this was the illegitimate son of His Majesty the King.

Didier becoming the new Earl of Rundebel is part of His Majesty the King's grand plan. Anyone who messes up this matter will definitely be punished by His Majesty the King.

Thinking of his family members who stayed in the royal city, Schwein could only curse and rush up to drag Didier off his horse.

They have only one way now, find a way to gather the troops.

On such a long mountain road, there is always a place to hide.

The Lundebell Army's combat effectiveness is indeed impressive, but they have a fatal flaw: they have a small number of people.

Due to insufficient numbers, the total number of troops they can mobilize tonight is only more than 3000.

Archery at night is all done blindly, and the damage that can be caused is not much. As long as they can calm down, they will have a chance at dawn.

The adjutant saw that Didier had lost his independent judgment and was like a walking zombie. He sighed inwardly and directly took over the command of the army.

Allowing this dandy to continue to command will only cause irreparable damage to the army.

He must find a way to bring the family's elite troops back.

He still had no doubts about ultimate victory.

As long as they survive tonight, leave this damn mountain road, and join General Karl's troops landing from another port, victory still belongs to them.

When the two sides join together, the total number of troops participating in the battle is close to [-] and several thousand.

With several fighting one by one, and coupled with General Karl's wise command, can this battle still be won?

Tonight's defeat is not meaningless. It can at least let Master Didier know the cruelty of the battlefield.After tonight's fiasco, this incompetent young master probably won't fight for command anymore.

Marching to fight is a very serious matter. Anyone who does not take war seriously will pay a heavy price on the battlefield.

An amateur commanding an army is a disaster.

The adjutant took Master Didier to a hidden place.

He settled Master Didier, who was very lucky and was not shot to death by random arrows, and then issued an order to the troops, asking them to choose boulders and big trees and hide on the spot to reduce casualties.

At the same time, he continued to gather troops.

Because the number of Lundebel Army soldiers was seriously insufficient, they could only ambush near the exit and were unable to cover the entire mountain road. The combat effectiveness of the rear army led by Adjutant Schwein remained very intact.

He ordered this unit to remain intact in the rear and wait for the front troops to retreat together.

Schwein's commanding ability was indeed far superior to that of the playboy Didier. After he accepted the command, he quickly stabilized the situation and even began to use bows and arrows to launch a counterattack on the cliff.

Although these aimless counterattacks resulted in only a few casualties, they were a dangerous sign that Hoffenhage's forces were regaining their fighting strength.

The archers on the mountain wall began to restrain themselves when shooting arrows, and the shooting speed became slower and slower. They often chose to hide after hearing the sound of bowstrings below instead of fighting hard.

Sistini, who was commanding on the mountain wall, was a little anxious. She wanted to lead the guards down to break up the enemy's formation, but she knew that it would be in vain, so she had to resist the desire to charge.

Surante, who was beside her, was not in a hurry. She lowered her voice and asked, "Should we activate the emergency plan?"

"Do you really want to do this?" Sistini hesitated.

Water and fire are merciless, and using water and fire attacks is one of the commonly used methods in war.But if the mountain road is set on fire, it will cause huge economic losses.

The heavily trafficked highway will also be shut down for a long time.

If a fire is set, only a few of the tens of thousands of Hoffenhager soldiers will be able to escape, but there will be no room for reconciliation between them and the Hoffenhager family in the future.

Seeing Histini's troubled expression, Surant persuaded her categorically: "Don't forget that they were the ones who made the move first! If we hadn't seen through their conspiracy in advance, the master might have..."

"Stop talking, do it!"

As long as Matthew's life safety and core interests were involved, Sistini would not hesitate at all.

It is indeed inhumane to burn tens of thousands of people to death at once, and will definitely be condemned, but so what, Lord Matthew is still recuperating in the castle. She is commanding this battle, and even if there is a curse, she will bear it.

Histini sent signals to the opposite sides of the troops and issued the order to execute the [Red Cliff Plan].

Although I don’t know why the name of the plan is called Red Cliff, at least it fits the situation now.

When the fire ignites, the mountain walls on both sides will be reflected in red. It is indeed Red Cliff.

Down in the valley, Schwein was busy giving instructions, but he was horrified to smell the smell of fuel in the air.

Damn it, they're going to set it on fire!

Schwein raised his head in despair, only to see hundreds of blazing fire bombs falling from the sky.

Landing together with the fire bombs were various combustion aids that had been laid in advance.

Fuel barrels were thrown into the valley by catapults and powerful hurlers.

The flames burned fiercely, turning the Bell Valley into a flaming hell.

Chapter 090: Who will explain to whom?

When Matthew arrived on the battlefield, the battle was already over.

Standing in front of Matthew were Debray, who had a dark face and said nothing, and Sistine, who held her head high.

Debray received a professional education as a knight and was unwilling to kill his compatriots after the war was decided.

According to his vision, the enemy's surrender could be accepted.

When formulating the battle plan, Matthew also promised not to kill prisoners indiscriminately.

According to his vision, this was a battle of defeat or small-scale annihilation.As long as Didier is captured alive, he can negotiate with the Hoffenhage family.

With Didier in hand, are they still afraid that the Hoffenhage family will not give in?

If the conditions proposed are that the other party publicly recognizes Matthew's status and pays war reparations, the negotiation should not be too difficult.

Matthew agreed in principle with his suggestion.

However, what he didn't expect was that Histini and Surant secretly launched a backup plan, changing from defeating the enemy to annihilating them completely.

When Matthew arrived, the fire was still burning, and the flames lit up most of the sky.

Of the 2000 troops in the mountain pass, less than [-] escaped, and most of them suffered from burns and arrow wounds.

Debray gathered his emotions and reported loudly to Matthew: "My lord, the enemy's main force of 5000 people, only 2000 came out to surrender, and the rest are in the valley."

"If nothing else happens, these people should be burned to death."

"Where is Didier?" Matthew asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know, probably burned to death."

Just as Debray was answering the question emotionally, a deep voice sounded from the side, "No need to look for him, I guarantee he is dead."

The speaker was the dragon lizard Melda.

Her eyes shone with a strange light in the night, looking particularly strange.

She licked her lips and said with a very firm attitude: "I shot Didier in the heart, and then he was drowned in the sea of ​​fire."

Debray looked at Melda in shock and asked in confusion: "Miss Melda, do you know who Didier is?"
