Section 938: Stop Loss II.
Nearly one-third of the territory of the province of Kuchit changed hands in a single day, and the aborigines of the Eastern Continent countries were stunned by the deep meaning of this news- The 70,000-strong army of the Outlanders took only one day from the beginning to the end, starting from the northernmost point of the Kucht Province and marching south for nearly 60 kilometers, attacking and advancing the whole way, and defeated nearly 100,000 Ashbee troops in the front of the attack of nearly 30 kilometers, including the first group of the Western Front of the Ashubi Kingdom, this 60,000-strong army was completely annihilated in the field battle, and in this case, the army of the steppe elves Outlanders still had the strength to besiege the Steelhammer Fortress, and in a few hours the entire fortress was scorched earth, and forced the fortress city to surrenderγ
Therefore, the Western Front of the Kingdom of Ashbee retreated, it seems that through reconnaissance and the ventilation of the big players, as the commander of the Front, Duke Morgen Doyle chose to retreat after knowing that the steppe elves had gathered at least 250,000 ground troops - just his 100,000 people, he was afraid that the 50,000 big cat people would not be enough to kill.
What's more, the Steppe Elves' Battle Mage Wing has now confirmed as many as one hundred and seventy-two, and the Battle Boat Wing has broken through forty- Although the combat boats made by these players themselves are not as good as the official models produced by Mogus, they are better than the imagination and various magic modifications, and can carry heavy bombers with close to ten tons of bombs and high-speed combat boats with red sterns, not to mention the heavy destroyers with a total of six 20MM walnut cannons on the belly and wings, which is a monster model that even ordinary dragon creatures have to shy away.
As if an order was received, over the next two days, the vast majority of towns and cities surrendered, and some towns handed over slave traders.
As a forgiveness for non-resistance, the steppe elves did not expand the punishment too much, but under the large-scale detection of lies, some fish were still caught slipping through the net, and the guys who wore the same pants as the slave owners were invited to the gallows by the steppe elf players.
Then early in the morning of the fourth day, the legions of the steppe elves stopped outside the city of Kuchtmani.
"It looks like they're still trying to get back on the field. Marx was not too surprised by the 300,000 Ashupi Kingdom Front troops who appeared outside Kuchtmani - they had information, and the steppe elves also had a tip, and the information that the Ashupi Southern Front had arrived in the starry night had reached the headquarters of the steppe elves on the first night.
"Or that fool in the city of Kuchtmani deserves the blood of civilians and warriors shed for him. Penny looked at it and sighed.
"If they think so, why are we not willing to fight for our fellow man, I see their messenger. Through the binoculars in his hand, Eleuk saw a small group of light horsemen rushing out of the enemy line, led by knights holding a crown banner of Ashbee on a white background, which indicated that the commander of the legion was a royal family, and the white background represented the meaning of negotiations.
The light cavalry of the squad stopped as they approached the side of the steppe elves, and the knight at the head was led into the line with his banner.
"Distinguished Highnesses, I have brought to you the terms of my king's peace talks. The messenger handed the wooden cylinder containing the letter to the director of the think tank, and the old lady took it out and looked at it, and then laid it out in front of Marx: "My Highness, the new king wants us not to hold the Grand Lord of Kuchtmani accountable, and in return, all the captured steppe elves will be rescued at the new king's expense, and then returned to us." β
"We have given peace a chance, it was the guy who Kucht Manniri did not cherish, and now he is the number one war criminal in our eyes, and we will never forgive him. Although Marx is the youngest, he is very clear in dealing with people, and what he means is basically the meaning of everyone present.
"There's nothing to talk about, sir, tell your Majesty what we meant to you, tell him to hand over the group of high lords and administrators of Kuchtmani, and agree that we should enter Kuchtmani to arrest all those involved in the trade in steppe elves, or else face the war." Eleuk picked up the topic.
The director of the think tank wrote down the opinions of His Highnesses in a scroll, loaded them into a wooden cylinder, and handed them to the messenger.
"I am sorry, and while I deeply regret the unequal treatment of your fellow citizens, I am first and foremost a knight of the kingdom of Ashbee. With that, the messenger turned and departed.
Seeing his figure fade away, Aeryk nodded: "Like a warrior, it's a pity, the warriors will always shed blood on this day." β
"Deliver my orders!Spread the formation!The long-range musket wings enter the first line, and the dragon muskets begin to armour!" Marx jumped out of his chair, and the little thing walked to the front: "Tell the battle mage wings that the time has come to perform freely." β
"Yes, Your Highness. β
The young highness came down to the front line, looked at the human legion in the distance, watched the light cavalry enter the legion, and watched the human legion finally begin to spread the front, the young heir of the Longerxi family shook his head: "Just like my great-grandfather said, war, war has never changed. β
"Sacrifice hundreds of thousands of people for the benefit of one person...... And with what that man did, was it really worth sacrificing so many people for it?" Aeryk clasped his hands on his chest, a little incomprehensible.
"So, there are wise sages and stupid people among the earthlings, and I am very proud of my blood, and my great-grandfather taught me when I was a child to trust my fellow man, because some of them will be my most reliable comrades in the face of the tide of death. Marx glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist: "It's a pity that this time we are facing a stupid fellow, the ultimatum to the province of Kucht has not been answered, and the enemy's front is still unfolding...... There's more blood to be shed. β
"Endless heroic blood, endless enemy heads. After saying that, he buckled the helmet in his hand to his head: "I'm leaving." β
"Are you going to Mr. Marceau's? Marx asked, tilting his head.
"Yes, since I said that I want to breathe together and share a common fate, then I naturally can't do the evil thing of being alone in the back...... Really, I was going to climb the mountain to play, but it's really annoying. While complaining, he picked up the musket and glanced at his eldest nephew: "Okay, I'm leaving, don't you have a little blessing to give to your elders." β
Marx laughed: "Don't play the lead charge this time, no matter how face-saving Mr. Marceau is, there is no way to fish you out." β
"Evil obstacles!" stuck out his tongue angrily: "I'm going to tell grandpa to go!"
Watching Chang Chang walk away, Aeryk turned his head to look at Marx: "You are also big-eyed." β
"I just don't want my sister-in-law to stupidize herself. To this, Marx shrugged his shoulders.
