The next day, an officer from the Republic of Vosfita arrived in the town where Leonard and the others were stationed. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Then, in the name of the Elf King, the officer gathered more than 3,000 mercenaries to the square and read out the animal skin paper scroll he held in both hands: "By the order of His Majesty the Elf King Cleos: Leonard, the former captain of the First Army, the Second Swordsman Regiment, and the First Brigade, is hereby appointed as the head of the First Army and the Second Swordsman Regiment. Bran, the son of Andy, the president of the Mercenary Association, is the deputy head of the First Army and the Second Swordsman Regiment.

Private Kevin, the former First Army and the First Swordsman Regiment, was the captain of the First Army, the Second Swordsman Regiment and the First Brigade. Private Mel, the former First Army and the First Swordsman Regiment, was the captain of the First Army, the Second Swordsman Regiment, and the Second Brigade. Leonard and his more than 3,000 mercenaries under Bran were all regular sergeants of the First Army and the Second Swordsmen. He hereby ordered the Second Swordsman Regiment to set off immediately and take Mandolia, the capital of the Lars Empire, which was extremely empty in the rear, in order to lift the siege of Bagram by the Lars Imperial Army. ”

As soon as the officer finished reading the edict. Many of the mercenaries present complained: "What!? Why should we accept the appointment of the Elven King? Why obey His will? "Also, why isn't Bran the head of the regiment?" "Yes, why?" ... Although these mercenaries knew very well in their hearts that they could only rely on the rescue of the Vosfita Republic to deal with the army of the Lars Empire, they could not accept this kind of position arrangement on their face, and they seemed very unconvinced.

Seeing this, Bran took Leonard's wrist and stood in front of more than 3,000 mercenaries, raised the right arm of the Great Swordsman with his left hand, and loudly declared: "That's because Leonard, Kevin and Mel were originally the best soldiers in the Republic of Vosfita." We're not. As the son of President Andy, I also think that Leonard is more suitable than himself to serve as the head of the First Army and the Second Swordsmen of the Republic of Vosfitta.

As a mercenary, I only temporarily served as the deputy head of the First Army and the Second Swordsmen Regiment of the Republic of Vosfitta. Once the Principality of Bagram won liberation, peace was restored. I will resign from this position and return to the Mercenary Society. If any of you are not satisfied with this arrangement, you can stand up now and declare yourself out of the Second Swordsmen. I will never keep it. ”

When the mercenaries saw this situation, you look at me, I look at you, looking left and right, stunned, none of them dared to stand up and announce that they had left the Second Swordsman Regiment.

Seeing this, Leonard continued to raise his right hand and admonished all the members as the head of the regiment: "Okay. It looks like you've all made your decision. From today onwards, everyone will be a part of the Second Swordsman Regiment. So let's have a feast before we go on the expedition and have a good drink. Early tomorrow morning, everyone will set off and go straight to the lair of the Lars Empire. ”

Although at this time, Leonard's heart was actually very anxious, and he wanted to rush to Mandoria immediately to rescue Tina from Frank's clutches. But I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. He also profoundly understands that war is an extremely cruel matter that is related to life and death, and that one wrong step will lead to no return, and must be carried out cautiously.

As for the officer of the Republic of Vosfitta, after reading the edict of the Elven King; He set out and returned to the Republic of Vosfita the same way he came, and did not stay to participate in any military operations of the Second Swordsman Regiment.

When Hanks escorted Tina back to the palace in the city of Mandolia, the capital of the Lars Empire. The female mage was still at ease with her imperial brother, and said to the middle-aged uncle with great worry: "Hanks, please return to the Duchy of Bagram immediately, and persuade the imperial brother not to do stupid things again, insist on doing things alone, and make mistakes again and again." ”

When Hanks heard this, he remembered the extremely despicable nature of the crown prince, so he looked embarrassed and said that he was very embarrassed: "But, Your Highness. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't listen to anyone's advice at all. ”

Tina is very worried about her country and the fate that Hanks will face next, and she is very emotionally entrusted: "Although he can't listen to others. But if there is someone by his side to remind him from time to time, it is better than nothing. What's more, this is also related to the life and death of our country's 50,000 soldiers! Admittedly, they did many unforgivable things.

But anyway, the Lars Empire could not be without them. Finally, please remember that I did not command you to fight to the death. No matter what happens, you have to come back alive to see me. ”

As the successor of the Lars Empire, the crown prince was self-righteous and arrogant, and his staff was full of treacherous courtiers who were good at flattery, and there was almost no place for the virtuous ministers who dared to speak out. That's why Tina was very worried.

"Yes." When Hanks heard this, he didn't say any nonsense, turned around and left the palace; He mounted a horse and headed straight for the Duchy of Bagram.

After Frank listened to Tina's report on the situation on the front line, he immediately felt extreme disappointment and despair. I saw that the emperor knelt in the bedroom in tears, in front of the bronze statue of the goddess of light; With his hands folded and his attitude was unusually devout, he prayed and repented: "He is really still a non-obsessed thing. It's all my fault. The appointment of him as military commander and the leading of the army against the Principality of Bagram was the greatest mistake I made in my life.

The future of the Lars Empire is uncertain. O Goddess of Light—if possible. I am willing to make amends for this unpardonable sin with my life. As long as you can let the people of the Lars Empire escape this..."

Other news that came back to Mandolia from the front was that only a small number of stragglers from the Lars Empire had privately and spontaneously committed some acts of burning and looting, and had been severely punished; There has been no massacre of the so-called large-scale, organized massacres that the Republic of Vosfita has slandered.

Back to the Duchy of Bagram. Soon after, the Second Swordsmen led by Leonard headed north. Hanks, who returned to Bagram alone, was detained in anger because he failed to persuade the crown prince. After setting up dozens of trebuchets, the Lars Imperial Army launched a general assault on the city of Bagram. Thousands of Imperial mages have applied their mana to the stone balls that the trebuchet is about to throw.

All of a sudden, huge fireballs, ice balls, lightning balls, sulfuric acid balls, etc., smashed fiercely on the walls and towers of the north side of Bagram City. Rumble! - Boom! - Boom! ――... Comparison of the strength of the two sides: The main force of the Lars Imperial Army is 50,000, including thousands of powerful Imperial mages. The garrison of Bagram was 15,000 men, including 10,000 regular troops and 5,000 mercenaries. A considerable part of the mercenaries are elite. However, due to the long-term neglect of training, the combat effectiveness of the regular army is very low.

The Bagram soldiers stationed on the city walls suffered hundreds of casualties and withdrew from the city. In the palace in the southern part of Bagram, the Grand Duke, who was lying in bed with a sad face, who had been unable to sleep for many days, and who was anxious in his heart, heard so many loud bangs coming from far and near; I couldn't help but tremble in horror, and hurriedly rolled off my couch, prostrate on the ground, and burrowed under the bed. Then, in the middle of the attack, the crown prince of the Lars Empire adopted the tactics of a junior officer.

As a result, the Lars Imperial Army sent one of the loudest generals and began to shout inside the city of Bagram. He claimed that the Imperial Army had only entered the Duchy of Bagram to defeat the Mercenary Society. As long as the soldiers and civilians in the city can hand over all the mercenaries led by Andy to the Lars Empire. The Imperial army will soon withdraw from Bagram. As soon as the officers and soldiers at the head of Bagram heard these words, they exploded and began to talk about each other.

Standing on the walls of Bagram, Andy, who was commanding on the spot, heard this, but said that this was a trick taken by the enemy to drive a wedge between us. At the head of the city, the morale of the soldiers of Bagram was settled again. Seeing this, the crown prince of the Lars Empire immediately ordered the Imperial Army to launch an even more violent round of stone-throwing strikes. Soon, the content of the Lars Imperial Army's shouting and Andy's reaction to it reached the ears of the Grand Duke of Bagram.

The Grand Duke of Bagram then immediately issued an order, and Andy entered his palace in a hurry. Andy was ordered to enter the palace. The Grand Duke demanded that Andy: either the mercenaries who led the association should leave Bagram immediately, so as not to harm the people in the city; Either go out of the city immediately by yourself, take all the blame, and let the Lars Empire deal with it. When Andy heard this, he retorted with reason: Bagram City can hold out for a long time, and there is no need to be afraid at all. I'm leading my troops out of the city now, just to die.

Andy also said that he would not go out of the city alone and make unnecessary sacrifices. It is even more unlikely that the Lars Imperial Army will obediently withdraw and return home because their demands have been met. When the Grand Duke of Bagram heard Andy's words, he immediately became furious, and repeatedly shouted at Andy for the selfish interests of the Mercenary Association, and disregarded the safety of the entire people of Bagram City.

So, he immediately ordered the guards on the scene to take Andy down and imprison him. Then, this guy quietly sent messengers out of the city, intending to make peace with the crown prince of the Lars Empire, plotting to discuss how to deal with Andy, and jointly suppress the mercenary association to protect his own plan.

Andy's achievements in the Principality of Bagram have always been regarded as the greatest threat by the Grand Duke. Take advantage of this opportunity to kill this person, cut off his henchmen, destroy the power of the Mercenary Association, and save his own life; Under the rule of the Lars Empire, like Liu Chan, he sought a comfortable and comfortable housekeeping job; This is the only thing that Grand Duke Bagram, a coward whose abilities are extremely mediocre and has been stripped of power by the Mercenary Association, is now the only thing he can do, want to do, and dare to do.

However, the messenger sent by the Grand Duke of Bagram was intercepted by the Crimson Flame mercenary group before he could leave the city. When Andy is gone, the members of the Crimson Flame Mercenary Regiment become alarmed. Soon, all the mercenaries in Bagram knew that the Grand Duke wanted to betray them. So, the Crimson Flame mercenary group led all the mercenaries in the city to fight in Nancheng that night and rescued their leader Andy.

After being rescued, Andy believes that the current infighting in the city has caused the most basic trust between the mercenaries and the regular army, and they can no longer work together to fight together. The Grand Duke would inevitably deprive himself of command and order his regular army to fight back. The Lars Imperial Army outside the city will also take advantage of the situation. So Andy made a resolute decision and led all the mercenaries in the city to break through the siege overnight.

Next, after paying an extremely heavy price in casualties, the mercenaries finally fought their way through the night and broke through the siege of the Lars Imperial Army. After that, the few remaining elite mercenaries, such as Andy and Crimson Flame, began to fight the Lars Imperial Army in Bagram, constantly waging guerrilla warfare. As for the city of Bagram, due to the loss of Andy's on-the-spot command and the bloody battles of the mercenaries, it was breached by the Lars Imperial Army the next day.

After Andy and the others left. The Grand Duke of Bagram sent men out of the city again, intending to make peace with the Lars Imperial Army. However, the Grand Duke learned from the mouth of the messenger who had his ear and nose cut off and returned that the crown prince of the Lars Empire did not want to let him go at all, and also wanted the Grand Duke to suffer the humiliation of torture in order to relieve the hatred in his heart. As a result, in despair, the Grand Duke set fire to his palace and burned himself to his death. Subsequently, the Lars Imperial Army entered the city of Bagram and began to burn and loot on a large scale.

The crown prince of the Lars Empire first ordered someone to burn down the Colosseum of the Mercenary Association, and then sent troops to burn down all the civilian buildings in the northern city, and then stationed in the southern city with his subordinates, and lived in the luxurious mansion owned by the nobles of Bagram.

The nobles in Bagram City, except for the Archduke of Bagram, Count Andy, and Viscount Angeline's family, had already moved their families to other places for refuge before the arrival of the Lars Imperial Army. In the end, the children of Grand Duke Bagram, the harem Fandel, and the slave guards were all slaughtered by the Lars Imperial Army. The Duchy of Bagram was thus completely destroyed and withdrew from the stage of history.

Around the same time period. On the territory of the Republic of Vosfita, inside the barracks of the First Army. Armed with a brilliant Thor's sword. Ming, the half-human, half-elf Marshal of Memphis, dressed in glittering golden Xuanshen armor, with eyes like torches, majestic demeanor, white beard, and half-human, half-elf, was sitting on the rostrum on the edge of a makeshift circled dueling arena.

"Uhhhh - "With a loud scream. Memphis saw the giant rock demons composed of five rock demons collapsing in response. Ho/Ke pressed his right palm against his brother's chest. Hawk/Ke's brother is the man in the tawny robe who once competed with Leonard for the championship of the Arena team competition. Senior Brother's entire body instantly turned into a special silvery-white limestone. The man's petrified body then burst, crumbled, and fell to the ground. Poof...

In this life-and-death duel, with the praise of Field Marshal Memphis, Hawk finally won the title of Captain of the First Army's intelligence. This position was originally reserved for his senior brother. However, due to the fact that the senior brother did not win the championship of the arena team competition, the gutter capsized and did not do his job effectively. Hock, however, did his job brilliantly. The marshal of the Republic of Vosfita deliberately arranged such a duel.

Turn back to Leonard's side. The Great Swordsman with more than 3,000 mercenaries has arrived in Sida Town. They found that the Lars Imperial Army stationed in this important town was very weak, with only a few hundred men. As a result, the enemy, seeing more than 3,000 mercenaries coming, fled without making any decent resistance. So Leonard and the others replenished the town of Sida with food, water, and other military supplies; The whole army changed into weapons and armor in the Republic of Vosfita and was stationed.

After ordering the whole army to be stationed in the town of Sida, Leonard, who looked tired, explained to Bran alone the reason for his decision: "I often can't sleep at night these days, and I have thought about it repeatedly. If we just go into the territory of the Lars Empire without hesitation, it is very likely that we will never return, and we may not be able to complete the set mission and successfully rescue Tina. ”

When Bran heard this, he asked anxiously: "Then you say, what should we do next?" "The president's son does not know at this moment that the city of Bagram has been captured by the Lars Imperial Army.

Leonard only spat out one word: "Wait-"

Bran couldn't agree with Leonard's thoughts at all, and asked repeatedly, "Why wait?" Waiting to die? Wait until everything is irreparable? ”

Leonard replied very calmly: "No." Wait until the Republic of Vosfitta gives us a clear explanation, a promise that will guarantee everyone's peace of mind. Let's say, when will reinforcements come to reinforce us. We just need to stand still, and we expect to have results soon. When Bran heard this, he was persuaded by the words of the Great Swordsman. As a result, this mercenary force of more than 3,000 people was stuck in Sida Town and wasted time.

A few days later, one of the guards who had delivered the news ran straight into the main hall of a palace in Cleos, knelt down on one knee in front of the elven king, and announced: "Report! - His Majesty the Elven King. The Second Swordsman Regiment led by Leonard did not leave for the Lars Empire as planned, but stayed in the town of Sida. ”

When Cleos heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, he couldn't believe his ears, and he couldn't understand a series of questions at all: "What!?" Didn't those mercenaries hate the Lars Empire to the core? Don't you want to immediately lift the siege of Bagram? ”

Cleos thinks he's succeeding in the ploy of Leonard and the others. As a result, he and the emperors of Jiluo and Nakonaru bargained and argued over how many troops to send and how much to share with each other, which led to a significant delay in the date of the coalition's expedition. But as the self-proclaimed leader of the Farusion Continent, the Elven King can't speak for the sake of his own face and prestige, and must send troops to fight against the atrocities of the Lars Empire now.

The herald who was squatting on the ground couldn't answer the Elf King's question at all, and his tongue was suddenly knotted, and his head was so anxious that cold sweat oozed from his head: "This... Seeing this, Cleos immediately waved his hand at him and made a gesture to retreat.

Seeing this, the herald immediately stood up and withdrew from the hall: "Yes." ”

After the herald left. I saw a tall and majestic man with silver-white, full-covered heavy armor from the head down, brown hair, a heroic appearance, and a broad-bladed long sword made of unknown silver-gray metal pinned to his left and right waists, and a pair of swordsmen with elegant demeanor came forward from a dark corner of the main hall; With his right hand pressed on his chest, he bowed to Cleos and asked:

"Your Majesty, the reason why they did not enter the territory of the Lars Empire. It's just that I'm not sure about my future. All you need to do is promise: once the Second Swordsmen enter the territory of the Lars Empire, reinforcements will arrive soon. And it is enough to send someone of status and status to convey your will and convince them. ”

Hearing this, Cleos twisted his slender white beard, thought for a while, and then agreed with the Twin Swordsman's statement, and asked, "Hmm... You have a point. Chances are, that's what they think. But who should the king send to convince them of this purpose? ”

The Twin Swordsmen then came up with a very suitable candidate: "The younger brother of the Duke of White, the Marquis of Alonso, who is very wealthy." His fiefdom bordered the Lars Empire. You can appoint Alonso as the overseer of the Second Swordsmen, and promise to add the town of Sida to the Marquis's domain if this is done. And all the possessions looted by the Second Swordsmen in the Lars Empire went to Alonso. This person will surely go with pleasure. ”

When Cleos heard this, he agreed with the other party very much, touched his long beard with satisfaction, and nodded yes: "Yes." Very good. Then it was decided. Someone is coming, this king wants a letter of resignation..."When the swordsman heard this, he immediately bent down and bowed his head, his right hand still pressed on his chest, and politely retreated behind the scenes.
