Chapter 2: Phoenix Nirvana

Wrapped in black armor, Baron Akabui was a man of about thirty years old, with gray hair and gray eyes, medium build, a sharp face, and a fair complexion, but his abdomen was slightly bulging. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Akabuyi was not a popular figure among the Dotir nobility, and under the protection of his uncle, Duke Shaduff, he was arrogant, unscrupulous, and bullied, although the princes and ministers of the Dottier kingdom were submissive to him on the surface, and dared not speak out, but in private they cursed and complained.

He was even less rated among the common people, the people of his territory lived a life of pemininess inferior to pigs and dogs, and under his rule the number of poor people was growing by ten percent a year, so that people called him the gray wolf from the gutter behind his back.

Akabuyi's greatest hobby in life was famous paintings and beautiful women, and he claimed to have a much higher taste than the king of Meinster, but he was known for his brutal cruelty in the killing of beautiful women and the killing of painters - the torture of beautiful women gave him the greatest pleasure, but the killing of painters increased the value of his paintings, and in his lord's mansion, each room was used to store the so-called works of art made from the dried corpses of beautiful women and the bones of painters.

He sent people to take them back from all over the world, some of them were the daughters of princes and ministers, and then brutally tortured them with various self-made torture instruments, using tyrannical methods to increase their lust, and finally made the women die in agony after every drop of blood was shed.

Therefore, Akabuyi is essentially a demon whose personality is completely distorted, whose humanity is annihilated, and whose conscience has been lost.

He also boasted in front of people that he was a baron of a hundred battles, experienced countless battles, won a hundred battles, rarely lost, and preferred to be a marshal when leading troops.

But what he achieved was nothing more than the slaughter of unarmed villagers who were overwhelmed by the burden of taxes and the so-called bandits who had gathered on the mountains to avoid the exorbitant tax posts.

The generals of the Kingdom of Dotir, who had been tortured by accompanying him on this expedition, all gritted their teeth and cursed the moody baron in their hearts.

After receiving the news of a rebellion in his territory, Akabui wanted to withdraw his troops and return to quell the rebellion, but when he learned that Libinglan and Alexander were the commanders and lieutenants of the Faradis army, and that his coalition forces were overwhelmingly superior under the command of Carlos, he immediately changed his mind and became more determined than General Pirisnan.

When Carlos, who had gained popularity and prestige on both sides of the coalition forces, left, it was difficult for Pirisnan to restrain his fanatical paranoia and arrogance.

Because his biggest regret is that he failed to obtain the peerless beauty of Li Binglan, he has an inexplicable resentment and deep jealousy towards Alexander (of course, as the object of resentment, it may be difficult for the person concerned Alexander to have this sense of consciousness and identity), and vows to kill Alex and take all the beauties around him as his own prison.

Now, the god of luck seems to be offering him just that opportunity.

Give me the order to smash Alexander's tortoise shell with trebuchets and siege engines! Baron Akabui raised his hand and ordered through gritted teeth.

Lord Baron! There was a word from the coalition that we were to hold off the offensive and wait until the coalition forces arrived...... A handsome-faced, slender Dotir general stepped forward to report.

Syllable! Baron Akabuyi slapped the speaking general hard before he said coldly: "General Xiu Belmont, do you know why I beat you? How many times have I said that you want to call me marshal! Pirisnan, that old man who can't eat the old, what does he do! We can take the fortress of Fengrong Valley by ourselves, and we don't need them to meddle with things!

Yes, Marshal! Hugh Belmont, who had been slapped in the face, looked at his boss who claimed to be the marshal with an unchanged expression, and said calmly: The last general thinks that it is better not to act alone!

Did Ben Shuai ask your opinion? Akabuyi slapped him again and said angrily: "Why did Ben Shuai let Pirisnan's waste share my credit!" These two slaps are meant to make you remember your duty and understand who is the manager!

You just have to obey my orders, and you don't have to question them! Don't forget that you are the oldest just because you have made a few small achievements and saved the life of Ben Shuai! I'll spare you this time! Go down and do your job! If there is a recidivism, Ben Shuai will not be spared!

Hugh Belmont was beaten twice in a row by Akabuyi in front of the generals, although his face did not change, but a cold light flashed in his brown eyes, he clenched his fist, stared at his coach coldly, and finally released his fist, did not return the salute, and retreated silently.

Looking at Xiu Belmont's back, Akabuyi couldn't help but be indignant, and said hatefully: "Arrogant and rude guy! What a lame! It's just a brute who has been in the army for a few more days! So unruly! If it weren't for my uncle's repeated reminders to make good use of the talents and experienced veterans in the army...... Hmph, look what I do to you after the war!

But when he came into contact with the uncertain expression on the faces of the generals, he couldn't help but be shocked, swallowed his saliva and said: Forget it...... This handsome man is broad-minded, and he doesn't bother with such a vulgar guy who doesn't know the slightest etiquette... What are you all doing here? Don't give me a siege yet!

At this time, the Dotir army, under the command of Hugh Belmont, began to launch a fierce attack on the fortress of Fengrong, and launched a huge siege battle.

The Ettiri Runner's Army, which had made the advance deployment, slowly entered the valley, and the heavy cavalry of the Imperial Tiger Legion, under the leadership of General Pirisnan, began to join the Dotir army.

General Pirisnan, who witnessed the siege, stroked his beard, nodded to Sophie Kaiser and said: The Dotir army has done a good job! Adjutant Sophie, do you know who the leader is?

It should be the general of Xiu Belmont!

Hugh Belmont? Well, he was the only one in Dotil's army who had this kind of means.

In the thunderous drums of war, I saw siege engines crashing into the gates of the fortress in waves, and trebuchets kept throwing stones at the city walls and the city, and the rain of stones fell from the air to the fortress, mixed with the brilliant fireballs of the magicians......

Behind the siege engines, a large number of heavy infantry slammed the city gate again and again with huge wooden tsubakis and neat drums, while the light infantry climbed up the city without fear of death under the cover of archers......

Inspired by the spearhead Hugh Belmont, the soldiers of Dotir used their blood and lives to try to open a gap in the solid fortress of Grace Valley.

The siege of the Dotir soldiers was carried out in a well-organized manner, and the coordination of various arms and tools was flawless, and in the rhythm of the drums, every wave of offensive was launched!

In the siege battle, which lasted for more than an hour, the spirit of the Dotir army did not diminish in the slightest, as if the soldiers had a steady stream of inexhaustible energy.

It can be seen that Hugh Belmont has mastered the rhythm of the attack quite well, and the combat command is remarkable, especially because he has taken into account every detail of the siege, and has fully integrated every point of the soldier's combat strength in a meticulous and continuous manner, giving full play to the combat strength of one plus one more than two - Hugh Belmont can only use this ingenious method of using troops if he fully understands the physical condition of his own soldiers, and it is no wonder that even a veteran general like Pirisnan admires him.

In contrast, the defense of the soldiers of Faratis in the fortress of Grace Valley was obviously much more passive, neither opening the city to meet it, nor putting enough strength into the defense, although they successfully repelled waves of enemy attacks, they appeared very reluctant and passive, as if they had lost the will to die, just waiting for the moment of the city break.

Standing on the tower and watching the battle, Alex and Li Binglan faced the increasingly severe situation, but the expressions on their faces were not wavering, but Alex's cold face was slightly paler than usual.

When he saw the tireless and seemingly endless offensive of the enemy soldiers, he only said lightly: meticulous and meticulous - the army of Dotir has the talent of integration.

Hearing Alec's words, Li Binglan showed a clear and cold smile on her face, and said: A good fighter has no outstanding achievements, and it is rare to see such a simple but practical use of troops, and his deep thinking and sophistication can be compared with Marshal Tsykov, but even Qi Shuai is inferior to Zhou in detail.

Alex, it's time to reach the limit - after all, the fortress of Fengrong Valley is only a temporary fortification, and it can't prevent the enemy's fierce attack, so it can't be delayed any longer! If Pirisnan is allowed to seize the opportunity to throw the heavy cavalry into battle, all our thoughts and arrangements will not be carried out in time, and everything will be in vain! Command the whole army, the division to withdraw from the Fengrong Valley Fortress!

Yes, Generalissimo! When Alep spoke, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and August was like fire, and summer was like fire; The battle situation is like chess, and success or failure is like an illusion; Don't fight for an inch of grass, gain and loss float; At the end of the long laugh, I am crazy! Put all the dead and come back to life, reborn like the flame of the phoenix! The Battle of Phoenix Nirvana began......

Then he made a retreat gesture to the generals.

Boss, things don't seem right...... Beads of sweat oozed from Sophie Cather's flower-like face, nervously following the battle.

Well, something is wrong, the enemy defense is too lax...... In the face of his own advantage, Pirisnan frowned slightly, but his resolute face did not show joy, but showed a certain anxiety.

Could it be that the enemy has some kind of conspiracy? After all, the other party's coach is Li Binglan...... Sophie Cather hesitated and said, even when victory was imminent, no one would dare to take the reputation of Libinglan lightly.

No matter! It is a foregone conclusion that our troops will occupy the fortress, and we will not be able to hold back at the moment when victory is within reach, because of the enemy's unusual performance! Prysnan finally made up his mind and said.

Yes, marshal! I can't think of any reason to stop the pace of our army's victory! As an adjutant and staff officer, Sophie Cather can only see the present at this time, and cannot care about the further future.

At this point, a gap was finally opened in the gates of the fortress of Grace Valley, and Pirisnan immediately ordered the messengers to convey the order to give way to the Dotil army to give way to an attack route.

Akabuyi, who received the order, sneered and said: Is it a fool to be Ben Shuai? How can you, an old fox, sit back and enjoy the success of the country that I have worked so hard for? Order the repairing generals, no matter under any circumstances, you can't give way to the passage! I had to get into the fortress first!

Hugh Belmont ignored Akabuyi's orders and offered to make way for the Etmira runner-ups.

So the Imperial Tiger Heavy Cavalry, under the leadership of Pirisnan, tore the gate of the Fengrong Valley Fortress to pieces like a sharp sword, and successfully attacked the fortress - the heavy hammer pointed at it, like a bamboo!

Some of the Faradis hoplites left behind the fortress were slaughtered in one fell swoop!

The fortress of Fengrong Valley was declared easy to hold.

When Hugh Belmont reported the battle to the Akabuyi Society, the baron was so angry that he took off his sword and threw it at the disobedient general.

In the face of the flying sword light, Xiu Belmont just stood coldly, motionless, not even his eyelids flashed, the cold sword body grazed his left cheek, cut an inch-long wound and plunged into the ground behind him.

From beginning to end, Hugh Belmont stood as motionless as a rock, and the blood from the wound on his face continued to ooze out, and he just stood in silence and waited for his manager to speak.

Hugh Belmont, you! You are so daring, you dare to disobey the order of this commander, let me fail! Akabuyi said furiously, the green tendons on his forehead bulging, and he gritted Bai Sensen's teeth even harder.

At that time, the last general only chose to win with the least cost and the right means. The sharpness of the Imperial Tiger Heavy Cavalry could easily tear through the enemy's last defenses and avoid heavy casualties among our soldiers. Moreover, Pirisnan is the commander of the coalition forces, and according to the covenant, we must follow the orders of the commander of the coalition forces. Hugh Belmont replied calmly.

Hello guts! Dare to refute the will of the marshal and disobey the marshal! Hugh Belmont, don't think that Ben Shuai won't dare to kill you! You kneel down for me and wait for Ben Shuai to punish you!

Xiu Belmont knelt down and said: The last general will not dare to refute the marshal, and he has no intention of disobedience! The end will only be a matter of facts. The last general knew that he was in front of the order, but he did not dare to complain with the disposition of the marshal.

Marshal! Lord Baron! Although General Xiu has made mistakes, he is also starting from the overall situation, and General Xiu has also contributed to this victory, and he also asked the marshal to offset his merits and demerits, and spare General Xiu once!

The generals knelt down and pleaded.

You guys...... Good! Akabui was extremely angry, but he was not able to attack in the face of the pressure of the generals, and walked away in a fit of anger.

The generals went over to help Xiu Belmont, and someone said: "Xiu Bi General, I really apologize for you!" Thou art a great warrior, a hero of the kingdom, and he used his body to block an arrow for the baron, and yet he did so to you......

Xiu Belmont just said coldly: This is our life as soldiers! If you meet the Lord, it is the mercy of the gods; If you don't know the Lord, you are practicing heaven and earth! Our fate is not up to us, and there is no room for complaint!

At this time, Xiu Belmont's face was silent.

Pirisnan's brow furrowed when it was determined that the Fort of Grace Valley had finally fallen into the bag, but the battle-hardened veteran still had a dreamy feeling in his heart about winning easily again. After all, all this came too easily, and it became unreal.

Victory is already a living fact, so why can't I be relaxed or happy?

What am I afraid of, what am I worried about?

Is it fear of the hidden unknown, or is it worried about the victory in the palm of your hand, but in fact it is just something beyond your grasp?

Thinking of this, Pirisnan shook his head vigorously, trying to shake off the heavy anxiety hidden behind the joy of victory......

In contrast, Akabuyi's joy is much more substantial and real, with an undisguised high-spirited and triumphant appearance.

Now no one dares to say that I, Akabuyi, am not a genius of war! When I return to Dotyre, I will surely be made a marshal! I, Akabuyi, will be a veritable marshal!

Ha ha...... Akabuyi thought so, the expression on his face even more smug, and he let out a nervous maniac.

And in his words, he did not forget to attribute all the achievements of this capture of the fortress to his wise leadership, correct command and extraordinary genius, and inflated his own value by cursing Alex for his incompetence and belittling the role of others.

With the exception of Hugh Belmont, the Dotir generals under his command blindly flattered and agreed, and vaguely did not even take Pirisnan and his Imperial Tiger Legion in their eyes.

Therefore, the generals of the Imperial Tiger Legion were all angry, but they didn't dare to attack when they saw their boss with a poker face that didn't care about themselves.

What a simple person! I only know how to blindly open my teeth and claws, but I don't know that I am just a fox hiding behind a tiger...... Hehe, the fox is still shrewd and cunning, I shouldn't be so demeaning about animals. Sophie Cather's sighed.

Pirisnan knew that the innocence in Sophie Kaiser's mouth was actually synonymous with idiocy, so he smiled and said: Your Excellency Qi Yin, you should be more virtuous! Mean women are not likable to men. In fact, if you look closely, the baron is also a very handsome man, and he is quite compatible with you.

Sophie Cather gagsed, and then laughed coquettishly: "My lord, you are really bad-hearted! No matter how sorry the old lady looks like, she won't be hungry to this extent, right? The old lady has a bad stomach and can't digest coarse food, so she barely puts rotten food in her mouth, but she will have diarrhea!

What a disgusting metaphor......

At this time, Akabuyi, who heard Sophie Kaiser's silver bell-like laughter in the distance, glanced back at her, and his face instantly changed to a shocked expression, and the ever-dilating pupils did not hide the light of urgency and lust.

Sophie Kaiser immediately replied to him with a charming smile, which made Akabuyi stunned for a while, and forgot to close his open mouth for a long time, until his subordinates toasted and came back to their senses, and they still couldn't help muttering to themselves: This woman is really delicious! I can't imagine that there are such outstanding beauties in the Imperial Tiger! Putting it next to that old guy who doesn't know how to appreciate is tantamount to a violent thing...... It's a pity, it's a pity!

Sophie Cather immediately restrained her smile and scolded: "Shrimp toad!

This is called a grandmother meeting a fat fan - hit it off! Pirisnan chuckled.

But before the lively and festive toast party reached its climax, it suddenly cooled down - a loud explosion woke everyone from their sweet dreams.

What's going on? Has the enemy counterattacked? Fast! Give me a ride! A panicked Akabuyi asked as he grabbed a soldier with a pale face.

After a period of panic, the coalition soldiers finally found out the truth: the ZHA medicine that was buried in a certain residence in the fortress was suddenly detonated, and after preliminary investigation, a large number of strong ZHA drugs were buried everywhere in the fortress, and it is believed that many ZHA drugs were buried and concealed and were not found.

The news was poured like a basin of cold water on the generals and soldiers of the coalition forces, who were scorched by the passion and alcohol of victory, and all the temperatures seemed to drop suddenly, and everyone suddenly felt cold in their palms.

Sky! What kind of ghost fortress did we get! This is simply a fire depot that can be detonated at any time, a tomb tailor-made for us!

Manager...... Hit the trick! Sophie Cather looked at Pirisnan and said weakly.

Yes, that's a big deal! This is Alexander's usual trick, and I didn't notice it...... Pirisnan sighed, finally identifying his anxiety, but a weak sense of frustration ran through him.

General Pirisnan! You're thinking about it! As the commander of the coalition forces, you should take the responsibility of commanding the whole army! Your predicament is your own, and you must come up with a solution! I'm still young, and I don't want to die in this place where birds don't...... Baron Akabuyi, who had lost his composure completely, saw Pirisnan like a drowning man trying to grasp a life-saving straw, and instinctively put all the blame on others.

That's when you think about who is the manager...... Sophie Cather sarcastically.

Akabuyi, who was distraught, was stunned, but didn't know how to refute it.

Pirisnan, on the other hand, frowned and pondered the way of self-fulfillment, and no longer had the heart to discuss the question of who was responsible with Akabui, and after a long time, he said solemnly: It seems that there is only one way to withdraw the army......

Withdrawal...... A flash of paranoid fanaticism flashed in Akabuyi's eyes. No! I can't afford to lose someone of this size! My dignity and identity do not tolerate such an insult! There may be another solution......

Your Excellency, do you have any other way? Pirisnan asked coldly, but thought in his heart: What a lovely aristocratic dignity, afraid of death, and dead to face......

Maybe...... We can find out all the zha drugs ruined ...... The fortress was heavily defended, and they should not be able to infiltrate and ignite the ZHA medicine...... The previous explosion should have been accidentally ignited by a soldier, not by the enemy, so we don't need to mess with ourselves. A look of hope flashed in Akabuyi's eyes, and he said excitedly, and his confidence began to return to his face, and he was complacent that he could calmly think of a good solution.

Pirisnan shook his head and said with a wry smile: Let's not deceive ourselves! The enemy is far more familiar with the fortress than we are, and there is no guarantee that there will be no secret passage to the outside of the city! And don't forget that according to intelligence, the enemy has an elven army that comes and goes! Therefore, whether it is using the secret path or the elven warriors, although it is impossible for the enemy to retake the fortress head-on, it is easy to set fire to it everywhere!

Won't the victory of our army be handed over to others......

The excitement and confidence that had just sprung up in Akabuyi's heart were suddenly sunk, but he still licked his lips and said unwillingly, wouldn't that make us a big joke...... Hugh Belmont, you are the best at it...... You think about it, Ben Shuai can't afford to lose this person......

There is no such thing as a victory, so why lose? If you don't withdraw immediately, 150,000 soldiers will be burned into roast pigs, that will be the real joke! Hugh Belmont said coldly.

Akabuyi's knees weakened, he fell to his knees, and said in great frustration: Why...... I would have been the winner...... but fell into this kind of frustration...... It's not my fault! I've always been successful!

Sophie Kaiser unceremoniously intercepted and said: Your Excellency, the reason why our army has come to this point, you cannot escape the blame! Can't you just stand up like a man and bear your mistakes? It's disgusting that you look like this!

Akabuyi stared blankly at the beautiful woman who had been charming before, but now he was as cold as frost and repeatedly and unceremoniously counted down his beautiful woman, and he didn't react for a while.

Pirisnan and the others decided not to bother with Baron Akabuyi.

After exchanging glances with each other, Pirisnan calmly issued an order: order the whole army, prepare to retreat! I hope it's still too late......

It's too late. The expressionless Hugh Belmont said as if prophecy, his brown pupils flickering with a cold glow in the light of the bonfire.

General Hugh Belmont, don't you know that those who predict defeat in the army are not welcome? Sophie Cather, who happened to come into contact with Hugh Belmont's cold gaze, and was about to play a poor mouth, shuddered for no reason, forgetting what he was going to say next.

As Hugh Belmont had predicted, it was too late for the Ettiria-Dotirtier coalition to retreat at this point!

The 40,000 light cavalry and 30,000 pikemen led by Memphis, who were originally hidden in the mountains and forests hundreds of miles away, had already taken advantage of the ample time when the coalition army entered the main fortress to easily detour to the mouth of Fengrong Valley and block all the retreat routes in the southern part of Fengrong Valley Fortress.

Of course, 70,000 light cavalry and infantry were not enough to stop the progress of the coalition army. However, Memphis ordered people to fill the roads between the valleys of the wind with medicine, the trenches that were originally used for defense have become death traps, and the narrow passage of the valley of the wind is used as a natural barrier, Memphis can calmly contain the enemy's army with a small number of troops.

On the other hand, the army of Faradis, led by Libinglan and Alex, was cruising in the grasslands north of the fortress of Fengrong Valley, assuming a posture of war.

Faced with this situation, where there was a heavy army in front of him and no way back, Pirisnan sighed and said: The king of Meinster has decisively put himself to death, and sought to survive in death, thus leading our army into a cage - this strategy is clever and ruthless, bold and crazy! When we think we have stripped the enemy of their shells, we have let ourselves fall into the dead......

t.m.d! What's so great about Alexander? He's just a madman! Since he challenged us, we will lead our army to the steppes to level his troops!" The soldiers of Dotil obey the order! Let's go with Ben Shuai to kill Alexander's turtle bastard and his turtle troops!

Wearing armor and red eyes, Baron Akabuyi waved his sword and shouted at his men, and then stepped out of the tent, with a certain momentum of death, and many of the generals of the Tyre Kingdom instinctively obeyed the orders of the commander out of their military duties, and followed the stream.

This command is correct. Hugh Belmont muttered, a rare smile on his face, and without speaking, silently following the baron's background.

Pirisnan and Sophie Cather looked at each other for a while, and no one expected that Akabuyi, who was on the verge of collapse, would suddenly develop the fighting spirit and courage to fight.

Boss, are we moving forward or backward? Sophie Cather asked.

General Pirisnan paced back and forth in the tent for a while, and suddenly grabbed a handful of his beard and said, "Forward!"
