Wizard From Afar

Outside Silverhelm Mountain, Byrne Barracks.

Sitting on the bed, the black hair wizard, who was squinting at the castle of Fury and Count Eckert, said nothing from beginning to end, listening carefully to the news about the decisive battle.

Until Eckert stopped speaking, and a full minute later, Loren lightly sighed:

"How is the situation now-not just the Boyi army, And the safety of Grand Duke Varna."

Count of Fury Castle shook his head.

"Very bad."

"Very bad." He emphasized again:

"Phoi's army was killed more than half of the time, the most core silver armored cavalry They were strangled to death; all the remaining troops were also surrounded by the enemy on that pasture, and they would be swallowed at any time—even if the enemy didn’t do anything, the supplies they brought were not very abundant..."

Eckert’s tone is extremely heavy: "The enemy has set up blockades around the battlefield, hunting and killing the lonely horsebackers and the delivery of supplies... They don’t know that the front line has been surrounded, but it won’t be long before they should. You can detect it."

"The army on the back line discovered that it would withdraw to Thousand Tent City without a commander; in this way, the probability of the besieged Boi army breaking through the siege It’s even lower."

"As for Grand Duke Laszlo Varna..." Eckert sighed, his eyes blinking: "The messenger who sent the information said very vaguely, but from his Looks like-either dead or missing; I would rather believe in the latter, but it should be the former."

"The man who is commanding the entire Boi army at the moment is Harinfan A Master Shamai and Seth Braha count; Count was seriously injured, so most of the time it was Master Shamai who was in charge of the leadership. It is difficult to say whether they still have the morale and determination to continue fighting."

"I'm not a person who likes to be alarmist, Duke; but now Boye's battle...has reached a critical moment at the crucial moment!"

"It sounds like it should be." Loren raised calmly. Eyes:

"But listening to your tone, it seems that you don't want me to rescue the Boyi?"

"From the perspective of morality and the relationship between the two duchy, we must save them; Otherwise, Boye will be over, and Byrne and Boye’s blood-than-water friendship is also over!"

Ackert’s expression was tense: "But it’s a trap... The centaur left the Boye and didn’t cut it immediately. To kill them all is to hope that there will be reinforcements to rescue them."

"On the battlefield, doing what the enemy wants us to do is the most stupid behavior!"

black hair wizard nodded, understands the argument of Fury Castle count.

If you immediately led the Byrne army that had just experienced a bloody battle and returned to the grassland battlefield to rescue Laszlo Varna, what to do without talking about morale and casualties... The only end of a battlefield that is unobstructed and still dominated by the enemy is to be encircled and wiped out.

After all, according to the Poi’s messenger, the total number of half-man Ma Dajun is about 100,000; even if there are some casualties and the need to encircle Poi’s army, his force is still much more than his own.

Not only that, Eckert’s thoughts also represent the attitude of Byrne counts to a certain extent...I can’t help but don’t want to take the initiative to die, which is very contradictory.

At this moment, Sarika Jonah is probably also in the same dilemma-from the heart, she absolutely wished that Grand Duke Varna would be broken into pieces by a centaur, but Many of the besieged Boi army were horseback people led by the Great Boi, and they were all her people.

When she inherited the title and became the Grand Duke of Boye, all the losses in this war will also become her losses; once these 100,000 elites are exhausted, Boye under her rule , Will also become the weakest and helpless boy in hundreds of years.

She will never do it!

After thinking for a moment, Loren looked towards Eckert again: "Then what is your opinion... Retreat to the west, and stand firm with Grand Duke Varna’s grandson and the retreated horseback people. The tent?"

"No, it's not a thousand tents."

Wei shook the head, Ackert’s expression is extremely calm at the moment, and his eyes are extremely unrelenting: "We We must retreat to the territory of Byrne as soon as possible, and guard the frontiers of Byrne with Awaited Peak as the core, waiting for reinforcements from the empire or gathering troops to prepare for the counterattack."

"What did you say?!"

Loren eyelids twitched, the expression is as shocking as shocking.

He couldn't believe his ears, he believed that this would be what Ackert said.

"If we don’t rescue Grand Duke Varna and sit and watch the 100,000 army collapse, then Boye will be completely over." Castle of Fury count coldly said:

"This is the situation. , It is meaningless to stick to the Thousand Tent City; the strength of the Thousand Tent City in the past was based on its special geographical location and the two strong and mutually supportive territories of the East and the West. The two are indispensable."

"Nowadays, the big Boyi collar has been destroyed, and the little Boyi collar has hollowed out the family property, an isolated city...Except for sitting and watching Boyi's destruction, and finally being completely trapped by the enemy, it will not have any impact on the situation of the battle."

Looking at the complexion of the black hair wizard, Ackert continued to explain: "During the ten days that you...we besieged Silver Helmet Mountain, your affiliate Chamber of Commerce sent a piece of information about The empire."

"The three empires Legion and its auxiliary regiments that were supposed to take a break for rectification, did not disband but went northward-nominally to help defend the fortress of Duanjieshan, but they were placed in The border between Boe and East Sackland."

"Obviously, the Empire is ready to send troops...Three Legions, even without the power of Byrne and Boe, are enough to compete with the Centaur. War."

"Empire Legion..." Loren looked thoughtful: "Do you know who the commander is?"

"I don't know, but there is a very bad rumor...this Time, His Majesty Eckhart II seems to be planning to lead his own troops and conquer the Great Green Sea."

After that, Eckert couldn’t help but sighed heavily.

The Centaur War, which originally had high hopes and was prepared to revive Byrne’s reputation; in the end, it turned into the end of the fall of Boi and the emperor’s rescue of the empire...

Rika Jonah was no longer happy and had to accept the "assistance" from His Majesty the Emperor to revive Boy Duchy, because she had no choice.

even more how even if she is unwilling, there are also people who are willing to; the emperor can put her aside and support Grand Duke Varna's grandson...Salika can't take this risk.

The atmosphere of the two people who looked at each other speechlessly became a little bit depressed.

"So... this is over." With a difficult sigh, Loren leaned on the bed behind him, clasping his hands together: "After so many sacrifices, so many difficult battles, it's going to happen in the end. Give the greatest credit to others?"

The frowning Eckert slightly nodded, his eyes drooped: "This is... the most reasonable choice; even more how you have proven yourself, I got my own spoils of war."

"spoils of war?" Loren chewed the word.

"You have taken the Silverhelm Mountain Fortress; no matter what, for what, what is hidden... the facts will not change." Eckert said softly, but it sounded more like comforting: "This is a great cause that all the Duke of Byrne have not been able to accomplish for the twelve generations."

"Even the Black Duke could not do it."

But his Comforting, it sounds more like irony to Loren.

The capture of the Silverhelm Mountain Fortress, a more glorious cause than Roland Torino...but it was a trap set by the "Black Cross" Seror, a complete trap.

Then what's next, "Black Cross" Seror... What would he want himself to do?

Fleeing far, watching Boy Duchy and the dwarf’s Yunling Kingdom being destroyed step by step by him, the power of the empire is weakened again, isn’t it?

Yes, this is definitely a very reasonable decision. Any decision-maker who stays calm and sensible will think so... It’s crazy and extremely to take risks when the strength is damaged and the enemy is far weaker. Irresponsible.

Any "sensible" and "calm" decision maker will have the idea...

That must also be the idea that the "Black Cross" hopes they will have.

For whatever purpose, he desperately weakened the strength of the empire itself and even Duchy and important allies must be for some purpose; today is the kingdom of Boyi and Yunling, tomorrow will be Wouldn't it be Byrne's turn?

Is it possible...Is it impossible?

"Thank you, Eckert, thank you for taking such pains to enlighten me." Loren turned his head, and stared at Castle of Fury, "But I still want to do something."

p>

"I don't want to bring the living and dead warriors back to Byrne in such a desperate manner; I want them to stand tall and triumph proudly!"

Ike The frowning brows grew deeper and deeper, and his eyes became more hesitant and complicated.

"Then, as a member of your round table council, and also one of the members with the highest qualifications, I must remind you that doing so will have very dangerous consequences." He opened the mouth and said softly:

"This is a very unwise and emotional decision. You may also ruin the entire expeditionary army, sacrifice more people and even your own life; by doing so, you are destroying the whole of Byrne’s Fate is in danger."

"Besides, even if you do this, it will not necessarily make the situation better, it may even get worse."

Looking at his duke so quietly, his eyes recalled the scene when he and everyone crowned him that day.

"But...what does it matter?"

Eckert's voice trembled slightly:

"Ed Torino was besieging the dwarven castle , He didn’t think for another second;

On the day Roland Torino died in the Fortress of Duanjieshan, he saw the existence that we can’t see;"

"Bye The Duke of Eun will never be swayed by the will of her subjects; Byrne’s wine and Knight have made her strong, but she has become great because of the Duke who led her forward!"

"So, If this is your will..." Eckert slowly got up, and fell on Loren’s bed with a somewhat laborious one-knee kneels:

"Ackert of Fury Castle, will be dedicated I'll be there for you, until you die!"

With a sigh of relief, the black hair wizard showed a slight smile on his pale face.

"Of course, we are still at a disadvantage right now."

Sitting back on his seat, Ackert calmly analyzed: "After the Battle of Silverhelm Mountain, our army The casualties exceed one third, and the wounded alone will drag a lot; besides, the main force of Boye is surrounded, we are almost isolated and helpless, we must face the half-man Ma Dajun alone."

"Internally, we Without the aid of his country for the time being, Boye has already lost his last capital;

Externally, we don’t know what kind of attitude the dwarf Yunling Kingdom has, especially the Centaur. We have completely blocked the battlefield and we can’t get around.

So from a common sense, we have no chance of winning."

"So, we must break common sense, or...change it. Ideas." Shrugging, Loren took his words: "This war Centaur has won the most critical battle, and is about to win all the victories. This is a fact."

" But the other fact is... they just occupy a larger advantage, and even have to be dragged down because of this advantage."

After thinking about it for a while, Eckert’s expression became clear. "You want to say..."

"You mentioned that while besieging the main force of Boye, they are also frantically plundering and killing the surrounding squads and people on horseback." Loren lightly saying:

"Why is this?"

"Because their supply line has been cut off by us, there is not much logistics left." Without even thinking about it, Eckert blurted out directly. "So they must not hold on for too long!"

"At the moment, what is the most important thing for the half-man Ma Dajun?" Loren seemed to ask a question, but it seemed to be muttering to himself: "It is the main force that completely wiped out the Boi army and killed them all."

"Only in this way can they come to occupy the entire green sea and even Boi Duchy, instead of being always by this force. The army is holding a huge force unable to move, and even has to be on guard at all times against the army’s counterattacks and outside rescues."

"This is the real situation right now... The Centaur is about to win, and even has the upper hand, but It does not mean that they have won, but they are in the most fragile edge balance between victory and defeat. Any little movement can immediately break this balance."

Loren's face showed a faint smile. : "And if we leave, retreat to Thousand Tent City or even the Peak of Await, hand over victory to them... that is the basis for their victory."

"So, you think we should join This battle has become the variable in it?" Eckert looked thoughtful and asked: "To break the balance in this battle?"

"No, not only that." The corners of his mouth were raised. Loren's eyes show off There was a flash of cunning.

"en?"

"If we want the centaur to be afraid and break the balance, our own strength is not enough." The black hair wizard shook his head: "So...we have to use other people's pieces by the way."

Other people's pieces?

"Boy reinforcements of Thousand Tent City, Legion of East Sackland, and...the dwarves of Silverhelm Mountain." Loren opened the mouth and said faintly:

"Do you think if they attacked the half-man Ma Dajun at the same time, what would be the result?"

"This is impossible!"

Ackert asserted, but then smiled. Came out:

"But we can try to make it look really possible."
