Not every sneak attack was successful, and a handful of Crusaders in Hearthvale managed to escape or fought to the end...... Fortunately, there were no casualties or serious injuries on their side, except for a few elite squads to undertake the sneak attack mission, the rest of the battle was handed over to the main force, rushing up to crush the patrol team composed of a dozen people in the area, and by the way, it also destroyed a defensive line in the southwest of the Hearthvale, and the other three blocking the undead in the south were ignored by Loria, they were far away from the castle, and it was almost difficult to support the enemy, and in the face of the threat of the undead, it is unknown whether they would abandon their positions for a civil war, and they could not take a long detour to use their current strength to consume the power that would belong to her。

The main force led by Clement had already arrived at the gathering of Diǎn, which was only twenty miles from the castle of the Hearthvale, and was full of bare-chested Nord men, who were not able to confront the Scarlet Crusader soldiers head-on, but were qualified as auxiliaries to build defenses or escort prisoners.

The three trenches surrounding the camp have been dug up, the warriors have been reorganized, and the vampire scouts are on their way, and once the escaped Hearthvale soldiers return to the castle or the enemies in the castle notice an anomaly, they will leave the fortifications in droves and go into the field, while Loria, along with her warriors, will meet the enemy's main force head-on.

Anne sent three reinforcements in succession, and the number of soldiers available to Clement was raised to four hundred and fifty men, and it was their advantage to be well prepared and ready to work, and they knew well what was going on in the Valley of the Hearth, but the enemy did not know what was going on with them...... Luckily, war isn't a simple matter of addition and subtraction, and with the blessings of the pink-haired mage and a certain unexpectedly popular tentacle girl, they should be able to take on thousands of enemies in the castle...... bar.

Of course, it is impossible for the other party to come out of the nest in one go, and they can still rely on their intelligence advantage to defeat the enemy one by one.

However, even if they have the advantage, the huge numerical disadvantage will not be easily consumed, it will be a tough battle, and many people may die here, but no matter what the cost, they must win the final victory...... Fallen sinners who have betrayed the Light and faith are more hateful than the dead. As to where the Crusaders in the Valley of the Hearth fell more than the Crusaders of the Monastery, no one can say, but since the commanders and officers said so, it must be. The priests who accompanied the army also spread ∝↘dǐng∝↘diǎn∝ ↘ small ∝ ↘ saying, [email protected]≌s_(); There are many small stories of righteous indignation, such as the enemies in the castle sneaking hundreds of miles away at night to deliver messages to the undead and conspire with the undead to contribute to the Scarlet Abbey, the low-level warriors and people of the entire Hearthvale are living in dire straits, and they sneak into the kitchens of the Scarlet Abbey to steal food...... As for the last story, it has been corroborated by the chef that his kitchen does often lose food.

The constant internal propaganda campaign has given the warriors an inexplicable sense of superiority, so much so that they are completely blind to the rich land of Hearthvale, not even thinking about how they lived before Loria discovered Xue Man, and also making them feel that they are on the side of justice, and must use their long sword and even their lives to save those who have been deceived, oppressed and enslaved.

The propaganda image of the enemy of depravity and ferocity has been ingrained, and these words may have been a joke in the Stormwind Kingdom, but they are only slightly exaggerated when applied to the Scarlet Crusaders.

Most importantly, the Valley of the Hearth is led by Attorney General Ethan Lien, and the prosecutor is far more powerful here than the rest of the Scarlet Strongholds, and who wouldn't want to seek revenge on those parasites who specialize in mutilating their fellow citizens?

All in all, the equipment, tactics, intelligence, and hearts were ready, and they only waited for the moment of decisive battle.

However, the wait lasted for a whole day, and the enemy strangely ignored them completely, and Loria even thought she had fallen into some kind of trap...... A small army had left the castle the night before, but they had gone straight south, and the scouts had fallen behind them, and this army was not able to attack the main force of the monastery in terms of numbers and strength.

Confused, Loria paced back and forth in her tent, her plan to lure the enemy out of the castle was completely disrupted, and it would be a little more risky to stay here for a second...... However, if you take the initiative, with this diǎn people to besiege the castle guarded by high walls?

What a joke! What a great victory!

Just as she could not help but scratch her hair, a panting female warrior was brought in, Loria knew her, she was Ragnes' subordinate, and it seemed that she had infiltrated with him this time.

"Miss Commander. The female warrior pointed at her diǎndiǎn head and said the information briefly and clearly, "The enemy is really in civil strife, please do your best to surround it." ”

"Huh, don't tell me that I'm the kind of late-night civil strife that two people are doing alone...... Well, maybe three people will do the same. ”

"No, it's not...... Tyran Ferdin, Duke of Hearthvale, has fled, Ethanrien has gone after with his men, and they are now in chaos, those close to Tyran are planning to seize power from the procurator's group, and the enemy has lost command and is in chaos. ”

"I see...... I know. ”

"We'll open the gates for you when you see fit, and what kind of poison would you like to put in the city? Kill instantly, or will you die a painful death full of abscesses?"

"Ordinary ones that make people incapacitated and not life-threatening!" Loria called out to Clement as she told the female warrior, "Ordinary!

"Hmm......" the female warrior pondered, "is it okay to mix ordinary laxatives with ordinary sleeping pills and then mix them with a diǎn ordinary kitsch?"

"I don't know how you're going to get back to the castle or where you're going to find them...... But you're so bad......"

Loria acquiesced to the plan to poison her.

……

In the evening, Eli spotted an army marching straight towards the castle on the hill, and just as he was about to blow his horn, his fellow sentinel Hank Sr. climbed the wall, sweating profusely and looking so tired that even slipping to get a drink could not solve the problem.

"What's that?"

"I don't know, it's like the outfit of the Scarlet Crusaders, but we don't have such a large force to move freely outside. Eli squinted his eyes for a moment, a little confused, perhaps it was a temporary transfer he didn't understand, which line of soldiers had been redeployed......? He stared at the group that continued to approach, touched his stubble, and decided to blow the horn to alert everyone of the danger, casually asking, "How are you?" ”

"I don't know, I must have eaten something wrong. Old Hank's wheezing voice became heavier, "You...... Have you always looked so good before?"

"Wait! What are you going to do!"

The horn rolled to the side.

If there really is a hell in this world, it is here at this moment. (To be continued.) )
