Chapter 318: To add insult to injury
The Divine Comedy shaman didn't say anything big at all.
This time, the Fei Leng Cui Territory dispatched two wings of the God of War Summer Palace Guards to assist the regular army to participate in the war against the desert bandits, according to the custom of the nobles of the kingdom to send troops, the heavy supplies needed by more than 2,000 people were paid by the nobles themselves. Therefore, since the beginning of the fight to help Helen and Maple Leaf Village take revenge, Liu Zhenzhen has already made advance preparations.
The staff officers of the military department believed that this desert battle would be fought for at least three months, and when planning the military budget, Liu Zhenzhen followed the trend and prepared four months' provisions.
A large number of Fei Leng Cui's men and horses were not officially dispatched until the Yale Oasis Campaign, which invisibly saved a month's time, and now Fei Leng Cui's supplies are almost all lying in Mo'er's seventh-degree gold ring.
There is a lack of fire-inducing plants in the desert, Elder Andulan prepared for Liu Zhenzhen with a large puffet of underground white holy ash and a large clay jar with double layers, using the principle of lime boiling in water for cooking, the real thing in the battlefield is mainly fried bamboo rice and fatty bacon, salted dried fish and dried wild vegetables, all of which are easy to cook, you can make a mess with a little water, and the forage required for the mount is also prepared, in addition to a large number of alder bananas, tea bricks, tapioca wine and fat antelope. These casual snacks are all made of ice beads, one wooden box after another.
Since the Qingshui Lake in the Yale Oasis was polluted by arsenic, Liu Zhenzhen rested in the oasis for three days, mobilized all the people, and threw all the tens of thousands of mercenary kettles that Fei Lengcui had obtained over the years into the Taigan River water, and threw them all into the space ring, plus the original two hundred giant iron buckets, which were enough to hit Kalimantan and take a bath, and counting the fruits from the loot, the supplies were already sufficient.
It's called a magical advantage! It's useless for others to envy them, who let the dark elves have a seventh-degree golden crown since ancient times, and they just got it for Liu Zhenzhen.
At present, Bi Ying has seen a desperate situation, but the food for 5,000 people, Liu Zhenzhen has no problem at all for two months.
At present, Liu Zhenzhen is not in a hurry to leave at all, he must let these Mulan people have a good taste!
He now regrets why he only brought 500 oil melons, and he knew that he should have thrown off all the remaining fountains of life and created another 500 oil melons to bring them out!
That night, all the Beamon warriors who escaped from the sea of Yihai finally stabilized their mood after being treated by the praying mantis monks and the steppe elf priests, and enjoyed a rich feast with peace of mind.
There are many things to win battles, and it is the same when they are defeated, Liu Zhenzhen is thinking about the bones of the earth-based dragon, although the ants don't know each other, but Liu Zhenzhen asked Duncan to carry the little giant Iverson and Master Ortega. took a few air forces and ran away, smashed several "meteor meteors" all over the ground, and let a few bullet people fly down with a rope and dragged it back.
In addition to remembering the dragon crystal and dragon ball, Liu Zhenzhen also wants to absorb a little bloodline magic in the dragon's blood, for the wonderful bloodline magic, as long as it is the object of his own slaughter, dip it in a little blood is also absorbed, a giant dragon! Such a good opportunity, as long as it is not a stupid B who has been thundered, of course, will not miss it in vain!
It's a pity that this dragon ball taken out of the dragon's jaw, what kind of origin power it contains, and what kind of wonderful effect it has, with Liu Zhenzhen's knowledge, there is no way to know, and when will this meet Master Puska or Elder Andulan to get the answer.
Prince Karn was not idle, he led his staff to make the most detailed statistics of casualties.
This battle was simply the most devastating battle of the Beamon Kingdom since the Battle of Hyjal, and the heaviest casualties were the "MiG Corps" in the southeastern province, and all five wolf cavalry wings were killed, from the golden wolf General Guti to the small soldier leprosy. There is not even a corpse left.
The "Toulon Corps" in the northeastern provinces was the second worst, with a total of 267 men remaining, and the Toulon Corps was in a poor position, and the porcupine spear-throwers were on the outermost flank of the right flank, and the whole army was annihilated. The prisoner charge regiment was in the front line, the whole army was exhausted, all ten zebra gendarmes were killed, the warthog infantry wing was in the middle of the formation, and finally escaped a little blood, of which one escaped with the army sacrifice, and three of the Orephine officers escaped, General Reyes survived, and the military flag was saved.
The "Wrestling Regiment with the Dragon" in the southern province is also bleak and cold, and there are now a total of 423 people left in the Haus Archer Wing of the Boer United, including 121 Minotaurs, 287 House archers, 13 Pier officers, and two of the soldiers who sacrificed to the army.
The situation of the "Whip of the God of War" is a little better, because most of the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard are in the position of the middle army, which is somewhat advantageous, and the trump card is the trump card in the end, even if there are heavy casualties, most of the military flags of the Praetorian Guard are still well preserved, and none of the most precious altar sacrifices, steppe elf magicians and elven shamans have been lost, but the three Wolf Hussar Wings have been permanently eliminated from the Praetorian Guard sequence. Among them was a hussar wing that even gave the glorious wing of the "Light of the Holy Mountain" at the time of the Battle of Hyjal, and now this supreme honorary title is forever stripped away by the damned ants!
The only heavy cavalry wing in the country, originally as a strong reserve, was arranged by His Royal Highness the Prince with a weak right wing, and in the end, these oxen heavy cavalry only rushed back to the ancient city of one hundred and seventy-five people, that is, these incomplete heavy cavalry, Leng is to use his own iron hooves, to follow the Bimeng soldiers to open a flesh and blood road to the ruins of the ancient city!
The three wings of House archers and the heavy cavalry of the oxen were each other, and because they were also arranged on the flanks, and they were a horizontal array suitable for archers to attack, their casualties were really heart-wrenching, and only three hundred and thirty-two of the three elite archers escaped, and the three wings were left with only one "Biga Wind" Ronaldo who resisted the military flag and rushed back to the ancient ruins.
The two Boer hoplites were at the forefront of the phalanx, and only one hundred and thirty-seven people returned, including eight Rhino officers, and the Lion and Tiger mixed wing in the heart of the Chinese army suffered the smallest casualties, eight hundred and fifty-two people fled back with five hundred and seventy-four people, and the Tygo private army in the same position, the "Zuo Legion", five hundred soldiers finally fled back two hundred and ninety Tygo warriors.
The commando team directly under the Command, composed of 500 Taylorphine Heavy Hammer Warriors and Pierre Giant Axe Warriors, was relatively intact, and a total of 332 people returned, and the forty-two animal trainers protected by them were intact, and the air scouts directly under the Command were all in battle.
The 500 vicuΓ±a archers who were in charge of supervising the baggage were all wiped out, and the nobles of Shakbak fought with them, and the private army of more than 1,000 people was indeed a rabble, and only 33 people fled back to the ancient city in total.
In addition to the five sacrifices in the ruins of the ancient city, there are now only two main priests and one hundred and twenty-six sacrifices left, and only two hundred and seventeen followers have returned, almost one follower is left for each sacrifice, and only four of the ten lion and tiger princes remain, including Liu Zhenzhen's long-time enemy Prince Richard.
Look at the thin piece of paper in front of you. Liu Zhenzhen couldn't help but sigh.
The dispute with His Royal Highness the Prince seemed to be a night ago, and today he actually died alive in front of him.
In the past, Liu Zhenzhen didn't feel that he hated this prince extremely much, but now when he thinks back on the past, he doesn't know why, but he has a kind of confusion.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the ants have retreated, and we still can't get out of this desert, according to the information obtained from the captives, the cavalry of the Mulan Flying Camel Legion is all one person and three camels, not counting your guard, our cavalry is now only one hundred and seventy-five people, and the rest are all infantry, this time ......" Prince Karn threw a poplar chopping wood into the fire, and let out a long sigh.
The remaining generals and wing commanders were also silent for a while.
Liu Zhenzhen dropped the statistical data table in his hand and looked left and right vigilantly.
The Beamon warriors seemed to have fallen asleep, snoring, and the ancient city was a desert of about one hectare, with nothing but a citron tree, and there were many people sleeping in the cave, which looked dry and lonely.
The frost-like fog gradually became bigger, and the coughing sound of the sentry could be faintly heard from the city tower, Liu Zhenzhen did not have so many leather jackets and bedding on his hands, so now most of the Beamon soldiers could only bury their bodies in the sand, and by the residual temperature to keep out the cold, the gendarmes who patrolled the night gathered around the small pile of poplar wood, whispering, and the sound of humming and chirping came, which was the painful howl of the queen ant cowering in the meat pile of giant aphids.
"In fact, even if the ants retreat, I would like to fight with the Mulan people, but unfortunately they may not be willing to come." Liu Zhenzhen picked up the citron tree and made it in half, squeezed the juice into two glasses of water, and handed it to Hai Lun and Golini, who rolled her eyes at him angrily.
"Does the crown mean to defend the city to the death and fight to the last soldier?" Prince Karn was really an old soldier, and he suddenly understood what Liu Zhenzhen meant.
"No matter what kind of defensive battle, as long as you occupy a favorable position, it is always a little cheaper to take advantage of, and the best thing for the warriors of Fei Lengcui is not to pursue, but to defend!" Liu Zhenzhen inspected the officers one by one.
Everyone is nodding, and everyone has heard of several battles in Fei Lengcui.
"The Mulan people have almost nothing to lose, their air force and our air force have caught a hide, and only less than thirty people have died, although in the end they still killed one of their dragon knights, but I still think it is not enough!" Liu Zhenzhen gritted his teeth and said: "How much we lose than Meng, the Mulan people will have to pay the same price at least." β
"It's a way!" Prince Karn blushed and slapped his thigh fiercely: "If I go back like this, a great shame will accompany me for the rest of my life, and it is better to die here and pull me down." β
The officers also all nodded yes, the expeditionary force suffered huge casualties this time, and if they returned to the kingdom in disgrace, no matter who they were, they would definitely not be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives! For the Beamon warriors, the humiliation of defeat was not only unbearable for themselves, but even for their families and descendants! What's more, is going home as simple as moving your mouth? After the forty thousand Mulan horsemen, they said that they would not let go of a remnant army composed of infantry! Hengzhi is a death, it is better to occupy this ancient city and fight to the death.
Liu Zhenzhen didn't speak, he still has oil melons, he still has Blue Shadow Gaocen, but there is no need to say this, anyway, if he doesn't kill 18,000 people from Mulan this time, he won't leave.
"I am also in favor of this decision! The Mulan people don't know that you have a space ring under the crown, and they don't know that we are short of baggage, so we can give it a go! The chief of staff, General Pinto, out of caution as a staff officer, weighed it up and confirmed the suggestion.
Liu Zhenzhen smiled and looked back at the two hundred large iron buckets glued to the wall.
"Forty thousand Mulan cavalry charged in the wilderness! If we strike from all sides at the same time, it will be difficult for us to resist 5,000 people! Defending the city is one way. Ronaldo, the captain of the "Bigafeng" wing, was excited, and his younger brother was more urgent than anyone else when it came to revenge.
"That's right! How long can Mulan Ayu's domain power last? When the time comes, we'll take our weapons and armor, and five thousand Beamon warriors will be enough to make the Mulan people suffer! Maybe the ants will smell blood, and they will eat the Mulan people cleanly, and when the time comes, maybe we will be able to capture "Kalimantan"! General Reyes was obviously greatly stimulated, and the more he said it, the more exaggerated it became, causing several staff officers to frown on the side.
"General, if the Mulan people come to attack us, they will have something to rely on, remember the anti-snake guards distributed to us by the military headquarters? The Mulan desert natives, it is not impossible to invent ant repellent by then. They have catapults and steam chariots, and our walls are only ten meters high, and we don't even have a gate! So, I advise you not to be so optimistic first! General Pinto, chief of staff, sighed: "We just have to give all our strength to the kingdom!" To tell the truth, this defeat is not a crime of war! β
"The supreme master of our Aegean magicians, it is said that he can keep his forbidden demon realm forever!" Liu Zhenzhen quietly reminded everyone of the Beamon God of War.
When all the Beamon commanders heard this, their faces seemed to be brushed with a layer of chalk lime in an instant.
Prince Karn didn't dare to think about it, if it was really as Richard said, if the Mulan people really retreated in the ant colony and suddenly came to attack the ancient city, what would the Beamon warriors* fight them for? Teeth or fists? * Slightly get two thousand bronze swords in the hands of Desert Beamon? Because of the metal texture, the length of the bronze weapon cannot exceed one meter two, how can it fight with the opponent's iron and clay treasure knife?
"Rest assured, everyone! Mulan Ayu definitely doesn't have this ability, I can feel that this magnetic mountain continues to provide elemental power to maintain this realm, but it has shown a slow downward trend! Liu Zhenzhen laughed: "Look at your frightening, even Master Cash, the general master, definitely does not have the ability to maintain the forbidden demon realm permanently!" β
"Your Majesty, you're so good at joking!" Prince Karn let out a long breath.
"Your Royal Highness, you should be able to tell me by now what kind of class our beast tamer is, right?" Liu Zhenzhen picked up a piece of firewood in the fire, put his face up and lit a cigar, and slowly took a puff of smoke.
"Actually, it's not a secret weapon, it's just a double badge." His Royal Highness the Prince smiled bitterly: "This strategic goal is mainly aimed at human bed technology and catapults, and our animal trainers have now domesticated the overlord porcupine after years of research, plus the brown bear that was domesticated before, and now it has made up a double badge." β
"Two hibernation badges? Isn't that more powerful than our sacrifice! Liu Zhenzhen raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"This time the animal trainers did not carry brown bears, all their adult overlord porcupines were brought out, although it is a double badge, but it is not as powerful as the sacrificial pet, this is even a last resort, the military department and His Royal Highness the King have long wanted to increase Beamon's long-range fire support, especially heavy fire support, the human set on the top is difficult to learn, the operation of the catapult requires a scholar who is proficient in geometry to shoot accurately, and the bed crossbow human will never sell it to us, occasionally smuggled over a set, Even if we imitate the crude manufacturing process of Beamon, it is far from the level of human beings, and it is said that humans have now developed a ten-round ballista...... Ten giant crossbows were fired at the same time...... The range is up to nine hundred yards, which is unimaginable. His Royal Highness smiled bitterly and lowered his head: "Our beast trainer's years of research and domestication have not been in vain, and now the newly bred Overlord Porcupine weighs one ton, and it can spray the thorns on its body at a speed of ten breaths and five hundred yards away, which is a standard long-range heavy spray gun, but the number is still too small, and the firing interval is too long, far from reaching the continuous and instantaneous speed of the magic pet!" β
"The Overlord Porcupine is originally a very bad Qi Demonic Beast." Liu Zhenzhen smiled bitterly: "If you want to change, you can only solve it fundamentally, but the fine manufacturing process, without long-term edification and cultivation, is impossible to do, go back this time." I have to persuade Your Majesty that it is time to pay close attention to the education of the common people. β
"Ah......h
Before His Royal Highness could reply, a loud scream suddenly interrupted the conversation, and all the Bimon warriors jumped up from the ground as if they were conditioned, and looked left and right, and under the light of the night pearl and the fire, one after another screams could be heard coming from the huge cave in the city.
"Calm down!" Liu Zhenzhen stood up abruptly and roared, signaling the Beamon soldiers not to be so nervous.
This large cave was full of bat-like droppings, and the smell was so bad that the only people willing to sleep in it were the Warthog warriors and the Minotaur warriors, more than 500 people in all.
One by one, the Emerald warriors stood up from their sleeping belts, picked up their bronzes and shields, and looked nervously at their bosses.
"Don't worry! The Mulan people don't come out of the stones. Liu Zhenzhen snorted coldly and spit out the cigar in his mouth.
As he spoke, a large group of Pyg warriors and minotaur warriors galloped out of the cave, shouting as they went, "Bats, bats." β
"What exactly?" An Orephine officer angrily twisted a warthog warrior who had rushed out of a cave and lifted him off the ground.
"It's a blood-sucking bat, only the size of a fist, rushing from the top of the black cave, sucking Appia into a human at once, God of War!" The warthog warrior danced desperately in the commander's powerful hand.
More and more barefoot Pyg and Boer warriors burst out of the cave, their panic contagious, turning all the unarmed Beamon warriors into frightened birds, ants by day and vampire bats by night, which was enough for everyone.
A large swarm of bats as black as a dark cloud rushed out of the cave, these bats were small in size, and they were not scattered at all, and the black pressed the ground and swarmed up, enveloping one of the Beamon warriors and throwing him to the ground, and in an instant, he flew up and knocked down another, and each of the Beamon warriors they pounced on was instantly shrunk by one size, and his face was as shrivelled as a dried radish.
The illuminated night pearls placed in two rows in the cave projected a large pile of black bat flying shadows about to rush out of the cave!
Liu Zhen was completely furious.
"Whew! With a wild roar, Liu shook his hands and summoned a huge piece of yellow sand sharply, and covered the cave with a bang, just colliding with the black bat swarm, and the sound of "crackling" suddenly came to the ears.
Liu Zhenzhen used his blood-based power to pull the yellow sand seven times in a row, and no more bats flew out of the cave, and the first batch of bats that flew out were also pulled to the ground by the Beamon warriors with their own clothes.
Prince Karn and all the generals stared with their mouths open like a basket, and looked at the mouth of the cave, where a swarm of bats at least a meter thick fell on the ground sixty yards square, and they could see the bats struggling from leap and jump, and the dense sand was embedded in the heads, wings, and bodies of these ugly creatures.
The surrounding Beamon warriors stepped on their feet violently, and some of them rammed with wooden sticks, splashing blood and rotten flesh everywhere.
Liu Zhenzhen looked at his hands thoughtfully, he felt a little strange, his bloodline imperial power seemed to have become more and more powerful with the increase in the number of uses and the increase in the control area.
For his own incomparable magic power, the bloodline imperial power he uses now can only be said to have moved the sea, and this large piece of sand can't penetrate the bat's body is a good explanation.
But what if you use your magic to the fullest?
Liu Zhenzhen has this self-confidence, just by virtue of absorbing such a large amount of blood magic power, just by relying on his own dignified Saint Qiao, if he really exerts ten percent of the magic power in the bloodline imperial power, let alone penetrating bats with sand, even penetrating hoplites!
In that case, if I can catch a stone with a stone, and use a soil with a dirt, and use a leaf if I catch a leaf, wouldn't my bloodline magic become a universal magic? With the activation method of the bloodline royal power, it is still instantaneous without the need for magic chanting.
"Fuck me!" The more Liu Zhenzhen thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and suddenly let out a strange laugh like a night.
"What's wrong Richard?" Helen asked nervously.
"It's okay, I'm going to practice my bloodline spells! Just tonight, I happened to use ants as rakes. Liu Zhenzhen walked out of the city without looking back.
