67 losing streak

"What are you kidding? The generals of the Holy Demon Empire didn't go north? Sitting on his throne, His Majesty Hook looked at his eldest brother Zorn in front of him with a shocked face, and gritted his teeth and scolded: "How do you do things? ”

Hearing the reprimand, Zorn could only lower his head, he lowered his voice, and said, "At that time, the generals of the Holy Demon Empire were very dissatisfied with our move to the south...... So, in order to discourage the other party......"

"Humph!" Hearing that Zorn brought out the people from the Holy Demon Empire to come out as a shield, Hook was also helpless - although he always felt that the Holy Demon Empire should give him an explanation, but when he really faced the Holy Demon Empire, he was also very weak-hearted.

He'd been suppressed for so long that he had forgotten what it was like to stand up. As the monarch of a mortal empire, he had always knelt on the ground, and he didn't even dare to look up at the people of the Holy Demon Empire......

"So what do we do now? Yes? I won't say anything about ceding the territory to the south, and I'll lose the city of Naru to the north! My territory! That's all my territory! Hook tapped on the armrest of the throne and shouted to Zorn.

"Your Majesty! I am willing to personally lead an army of 100,000 to the north and raze Iran Hill! Vent your hatred for Your Majesty! Zorn felt that he should take the blame and make a meritorious contribution to his image.

His proposal was very much in line with His Majesty Hook's thoughts, and it was not impossible to recover the losses that could not be recovered on the Dorson side, and it was not impossible to recover them in the northβ€”after the defeat of Iran Hill, the Arrant, who had the advantage of artillery, might also be able to reap some benefits on the side of the Steppe Empire.

Once he had this thought, Hook had more things to think about: "There are already 100,000 soldiers going north, and you will take the main army back to the north, 200,000 troops...... Defeating Iran Hill isn't that hard, right? ”

"Of course it's not that hard! We have 80 cannons in red clothes, and there are so many elite soldiers in a hundred battles, it is not difficult to defeat an Iran Hill at all! Zorn said confidently.

Just kidding, it's a matter of course that you can't beat the Holy Demon Empire, but if you can't beat Iran Hill, it's really incompetent. Zorn knew that he couldn't lose again, and it was still a trivial matter for him to lose out of favor again, and it was estimated that he would have to affect the sister who was the queen.

Just as he was swearing that he would be able to defeat Iran Hill, an officer rushed into the hall and knelt behind Zorn: "Your Majesty! News has just come from the front that Volavo has been broken by Elanhill! ”

"What?" Before Arrant Hook could speak in shock, General Zorn, who was kneeling in front of the officer, was so frightened that he subconsciously asked: "What are you kidding?" Isn't Woravona a long way east of the city of Naru? ”

"Yes! When the city was broken, the old general Frankie sent people back to the royal city with news, saying that the army of Ellanhill had breached the city wall one day, and Wallavo would not be able to protect it...... The lower officials didn't dare to delay, they just got the news of arriving in the royal city, and they immediately came to report! The officer bowed his head, his tone already choked up.

"Impossible! General French, that's one of the best generals in our army! Strong-willed and capable, the city of Volava has many soldiers, how can it be breached in one day? General Zorn retorted, still unconvinced.

He was the military commander of the Arrant Empire, and he knew the defense of the entire empire all too well. Because he was going south to launch a strategy against the Dosen Empire, he deliberately left some powerful characters in the north who could fight tough battles.

Although Adam who defended Naru was greedy, he was still very capable, and there were at least 3,000 capable soldiers in Naru City, plus the castles on the periphery, it was definitely more than enough to withstand the sneak attack of Elanhill.

Guarding in the direction of Bude is the imperial uncle Arrant Lombuck, who is a famous general in the world and holds 50,000 elites in his hands, and has also supplemented some improved versions of the giant red-coated cannon, which is quite powerful in combat.

Although the general stationed in Maricha is not famous, he is also an old and serious choice, and he is not expected to create any miracles, but he is still very sure of defending a city.

In the east, Wallavo guards the magic concentrate, so Zon arranges a trustworthy old general, the well-known and capable Frankie - with such a veteran guard, Zon is relieved to go south.

It's good now, Adam of Naru City is Prime Minister Clark's henchman, and losing it is also losing the face of the Prime Minister, looking back, Prime Minister Clark seems to be responsible for losing Naru.

But now, with the loss of Volavo, it's a big deal: not only is the loss of a city, but even the magic concentrate further east has gone wrong, which is shaking the capital of the Arante!

"The soldier sent the order of the old general, and Volavo did...... Lost. "Because the handwriting and seal were repeatedly confirmed, the officer who sent the message had to repeat the report again.

"Damn! Your Majesty! I'm going north! Take back Volavo! "Zorn, who realized that the situation was serious, really moved his liver this time. He really didn't expect that Iran Hill, who he despised so much and wanted to go back and clean up after this summer, would cause himself such a big trouble at this time.

Therefore, Zorn, who has already moved to kill, is now full of thoughts about the idea of destroying Iran Hill.

"Your Majesty!" At this time, another officer broke into the main hall, which few people usually entered, knelt beside the previous herald, raised his head and reported in a loud voice: "The news just arrived...... Maricha, lost! ”

"This!" Arrant Hook has been shocked by two consecutive messages. He just wanted to agree to let Zon lead his troops north, but at this time, such news came, and he was really angry, and he had clenched his fists unconsciously.

His fingernails had sunk into the flesh of his palm, and he didn't even realize that the emperor of the Arrant Empire was really on the verge of breaking out at this moment. Laughing angrily, he gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely: "Okay!" Very good! They are all my good courtiers! Good courtier! ”

"Your Majesty is angry!" Zorn knew that his brother-in-law was really angry now, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and advised: "Your Majesty, let's lead the troops north and raze Iran Hill!" Don't miss a moment! ”

"Hah! Frankie, Adam...... So many generals have swept away my empire by Iran Hill as if they were in a no-man's land! The news came back only a few days ago that the other side has limited troops! The result? Maricha and Volavo have fallen one after another, which is the so-called limited strength of the other side? If the other party has sufficient troops, will my royal city also be occupied by others? Yes? ”

An enraged Hook shouted in rage as he banged on the armrest of his throne. He no longer cared about the monarch's appearance, and his face was full of anger: "I am doing my best for this country!" What about the results? It's just that Clark is greedy, he's an outsider after all, what about you? Yes? Failed to live up to my expectations again and again? ”

"Your Majesty is angry!" Zorn didn't know what to say. He had expected his southward offensive to stabilize the southern frontier for the Empire. Go back and go north to teach Ellen Hill a lesson, and make immortal feats - but now, he can only swallow the bitter fruit of defeat.

If it weren't for the erratic attitude of the Holy Demon Empire...... Thinking of this, Zon secretly clenched his fists. He remembered Ildo's commanding face, and remembered the soldiers who died tragically near the Abyss River, and his heart was even more angry.

He wants to take revenge, even if he doesn't want to fight for the position of the general of the Arantite Empire, he will be ashamed! So he endured the insults of his brother-in-law, the emperor, with his head down, waiting for the other party to send him north to kill the mysterious Iran Hill.

At this moment, a familiar figure stumbled into the hall, this time, not a mourning officer, but a man with dusty armor on his body.

As soon as he entered, he knocked over a candlestick, and with the help of several guards, he finally staggered to Zorn's side, and it was then that Zorn realized that the person who had entered was none other than the guard in the direction of Bud, General Arrant Lombuck.

"Prince Lombuck?" General Zorn looked at the man beside him, his eyes widened and exclaimed, "Why do you look like this?" Also, aren't you in Boud? ”

"Uncle!" Arrant Hook was also surprised to see his uncle suddenly appear in the royal city, he rose from his throne, took two steps forward before he stopped, and asked, "What is going on?" ”

"Your Majesty! General Zorn! I'm defeated! Defeat is a mess! Bude defenders, 50,000 border troops were annihilated...... I have a burden, and I deserve death! Rumbark, who had not rested much along the way, and fled frantically to the royal city, said angrily.

His words made Zorn stunned on the spot: the guards in the three directions were all defeated! These famous generals and veteran generals whom he had high hopes for have not completed their tasks without exception!

Where did Iran Hill get so many generals? And where did they conjure up so many "elite soldiers"? It is possible to defeat the Arrant army in three directions in one fell swoop?

Zorn, who was full of question marks, looked at His Majesty the Emperor in the direction of the throne, and Arrant Hook's face at this time was already difficult to see the extreme. In just a few dozen days, his empire lost 4 major cities and large territories. His army suffered heavy casualties, and even the defense line seemed to be stretched thin.

Just as he was about to explode again, Lombback shouted something he didn't expect: "They have a new cannon!" It is farther than the redcoat cannon that was given to us, and even more powerful than the 'second-generation redcoat cannon' that we have improved. ”
