Riding on the excitement and returning from the defeat is what Mantein is like now.

With tens of thousands of kingdom troops, he was ambitious and wanted to settle the battle in one battle, but he didn't expect that before the war started, he was beaten twice in a row. His Majesty, the king of the Kingdom of Virgil, was both surprised by Maltan's cunning methods and resentful of the low combat effectiveness of the kingdom's army, which made him feel that so much military expenditure every year was simply a waste, no, even if it was, it could still be heard, but now, the loss of nearly 8,000 people made the morale of the kingdom army plummet, and at the same time, it also provided a new force for those evil undead.

Mantein didn't even bother to listen to Dorman's explanation, so he turned around and walked off the lookout and headed towards the camp.

Dorman's face was full of bitterness, and he knew that it would be impossible to launch a third attack this morning. Until a suitable solution is found, a certain number of alert troops can only be left behind and the soldiers can be temporarily returned to the camp. Wait for the afternoon to fight again, if at that time, he can think of a way to defuse the undead's tricks.

His first thought was to use the priest, a priest who practiced the power of light could use some light spells to purify the undead, or dispel the power of death under the walls, but the priest's fragile body made it difficult for them to get close to the walls. And the kingdom of Virgil did not have enough priests to provide protection for every attack.

Just as Dalaran almost monopolized the human mage group, the Holy See of Light also monopolized almost all the Light Priests and Paladins, and Dalaran's monopoly may also be able to use various methods to exploit loopholes, after all, those mages are just learning magic under the command of those Dalaran archmages, not selling themselves to Dalaran. But the monopoly of the Holy See of Light is much stronger. All Priests of Light and Paladins are almost all followers of the Holy See of Light, and under the guidance of religious beliefs, few kingdoms have the ability to mobilize them.

If the priest doesn't work this way, he will have to settle for the next best thing, using potions and items that carry the power of light to fight those evil necromantic spells. The holy water blessed by the power of light can effectively dispel the power of death and prevent the corpse from being contaminated. Soldiers only need to drink a small bottle of light holy water with a concentration of about 5%, and they can ensure that their corpses will not be resurrected by the power of death within six hours. This is also the main means of fighting against the undead in the camp war, and every time there is a war, it has always been a tried and tested way to deal with the undead army.

But the problem is that the Virgil Kingdom's reserves of light holy water are not abundant, this thing cannot be stored for a long time, and the light power in it will slowly escape over time, and eventually become an ordinary bottle of well water. And in order to prevent the next attack, not a single soldier will be used by those evil undead to replenish the army, and a large amount of holy water will be required.

Even if the Virgil Kingdom is willing to pay this money to buy it from the Holy See of Light, it is far from quenching its thirst. On the one hand, most of the current working Bright Priests of the Holy See are helping the expeditionary force in Nanhai Town, on the other hand, even if the Light Holy Water is temporarily prepared, the time required is not a day or two to complete, and the longer the Battle of Radre lasts, the greater the risk that the Virgil Kingdom needs to take, and no one knows how long the pass fortresses in various places can hold back those undead for how long.

Back at the camp, several corps commanders were already waiting there. In order to ensure an advantage over Maltan, Mantein mobilized the kingdom's only two legendary combat powers, the old Duke Gimmonry, and his uncle, the former kingdom's political minister, Swift Virgil, both of whom are over two hundred years old, and are the only two legendary combat forces left in the Virgil Kingdom after the last faction war.

In addition, the commander of the Second Legion, Sethra, the commander of the Third Legion, Ninli, the commander of the Fifth Legion, Karva Sbein, and the commander-in-chief of the Kingdom Army, Dorman Watson, are all strong men who have stepped into the heroic realm. There are only a few heroes in the entire Virgil Kingdom, and this time Mantein can be said to have made a bloody investment.

"Sethra, what kind of shit you've got under your hands! Send a whole ten thousand people, but you can't even touch the battlements on the wall once! What a disgrace to the kingdom! Before Dorman could lift the curtain, a sneer from inside the tent could be heard.

Sethra sat on the side of the tent without saying a word, but Ningli, who had a good relationship with him, said: "I think the responsibility for the setback of the attack in the morning is not on Sethra. The soldiers had never fought on such a large scale and did not know much about the methods of the undead. Sethra's command made no mistakes and retreated in time. ”

"Hehe, so this idiot is not only right, but also a credit?"

"That's not what I meant! I just thought that instead of pointing fingers at each other here, I should think about what to do with the undead. ”

While both Sethra and Ninri were commoners or fallen nobles, Calva came from the Sbein family of Virgil, and his father was the Marquis of Lester Sbein, administrator of the province of Barria.

But now, the Sbein family is about to be removed from the kingdom of Virgil. When Martan infiltrated the kingdom of Virgil, the first target was the Marquis of Sbein, who only had heroic strength and was not Martan's opponent at all, and was ambushed by the undead when he was inspecting the province of Baria, not only killed on the spot, but also the body was controlled by Martan, deceived everyone, and slaughtered the entire Sbein family.

Only Calva and his cousin Canning escaped because they were in the barracks and did not return home. But the Sbein family, which has a glorious history, quickly declined due to the death of all its members. The family's land and property were robbed of by other nobles little by little, and if it weren't for Mantein's protection, I'm afraid the Speuin family would have been removed from nobility.

So Calva hated Maltan so much, he was even more radical than Mantein. At one point, he publicly stated that if he could kill the lich Martan with his own hands, he would not hesitate to pay the entire province of Baria for it.

Therefore, the failure of Saisra's attack this morning naturally made Calva can't help but sneer at him.

"Enough! Calva! What the kingdom needs now is unity, not division! Dorman lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Humph! Then please tell me, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, how to deal with the evil methods of the undead. As long as what you said works, my Fifth Army will take on the attack in the afternoon! Those sons of mine aren't anyone's waste, and even if I wipe out the entire Fifth Legion, I'll give that damned lich the punishment he deserves! ”

Dorman shook his head, he was not optimistic about Kalva's state, which was why he was reluctant to send the Fifth Legion into battle in the morning, but directly let the Second Legion attack, if he let Kalva attack, I am afraid it would not be the price of losing only eight thousand men, "Do you have any good ideas?" ”

At the same time, Mantein was also receiving a special guest in his tent.

"Haha, I didn't expect me to come just in time, but I watched a good show!" As the king of the kingdom of Minus, Laclaus did not look like a king at all, he looked exactly like a lowly butcher, his armor was crooked, and he even wore only an armed harness to hold the two-handed axe in place on his upper body, and he was more of a barbarian than a king.

Mantein frowned fiercely: "You're also a king anyway, can't you have a little grace?" ”

"Manners? What's that? Can you eat or drink? How much is a pound? Laclaus scoffed at Mantein's words, and said without hesitation, "You don't have to beat around the bush, I know what you call me behind your back." Butcher, rough man, disgrace to Minus! Hey, that's okay! I don't care! I'm a cattle killer, and I still have half barbarian blood in my veins. ”

"You! No wonder the queen of Almeria always looks like she wants to cut you down. ”

"That woman supports those nobles behind her back, doesn't she just want to oust me from power!" Laclaus threw a large amount of food on the table into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it in one gulp, "But I still live a good life now, I can eat, drink, sleep, and let my wife have children!" Unlike you, you are about to lose your country, and you have to pretend that everything is not alarmed. Tired or not? ”

Mantein smiled bitterly, too lazy to argue with this guy: "Now I'm glad that you weren't ousted, I still know a little bit about the faces of those nobles." I thought the first one to help me would be Ginas, but I didn't expect it to be you. ”

"Don't count on that old slippery head of Guilinas. You don't know yet, do you? The long-eared Whispering Forest has been torn off, and it is said that a secret realm from the First Age has been opened, and a large number of monsters have emerged from it, almost occupying half of the Whispering Forest. The long ears are going crazy, and the army under his command is sent by Gilinas to help the old man's house clean the house, where can I care about you. Sometimes I don't even know which side he's on. "It can be seen that Laclaus is in a hurry, from Minas City, the capital of the king of Minas, even if he uses the teleportation array, he needs to make at least several trips, and as a king, Laclaus can't use the teleportation array to hurry, that is simply to tell Martan that someone is going to stab his chrysanthemum. So after leaving the royal capital, Laclaus rode all the way over on a war horse.

"You're in such a hurry, your army is fine, right?"

"Don't worry, my stupid son will lead the team and move in batches, and in the name of the outside world, it will be with the Kingdom Army guarding the border. Coupled with the fact that those archmages with Dalaran took action to cover up, they would be able to arrive the night after tomorrow at the latest. ”

Mantein showed a rare smile and reached out to pour a glass of wine for Laclaus: "No matter what, I will accept your favor." ”

"! What a favor! That's a business. Antonidas promised to come forward for me to convince Fiona that woman to give up supporting those nobles, and I didn't want to see the day when I opened my eyes and found that my kingdom was surrounded by either undead or barbarians, so I came to help you! Alas, that's it! All the supplies are provided by your Virgil Kingdom, and you have to give me a sum of money when you're done, and now I'm full of holes, and I've been dreaming about how to find money. Sometimes I can't wait to give those nobles a click, and the vacant titles are ready to be auctioned! ”

"It's indispensable for your hard work."

"That's good! A big dog like you, I don't want to get a good handful, and I can't even care about it. But then again, I think the main reason for this is your own. Laclaus poured down the glass of wine in two or three sips, and said in a blank manner, "It's like a robber came to the house, and your approach was to take a sum of money out and try to persuade the robber to leave, but the robber not only didn't leave after receiving the money, but also smashed your house to pieces, trying to find more money." But if it were us, give him an axe first! ”

Mante was full of regret, as Laclaus said, when he first sensed the threat of Maltan, he wanted to give the miser a little favor and make Maltan give up revenge, but it was precisely because of his own connivance that it all turned out to be what it is now.

"That's because the situation at home is different. You don't have anything of value in your home, and of course you can face it. Mantein regretted it, but he still wanted to defend himself.

"I'm afraid there's another reason why you're doing that, right? There was not even a sharp knife in the house, and there was really no confidence to drive the robbers out. ”

That's a bit of an exaggeration, but Mantein doesn't have a good seizure, because that's what happened. The two previous disappointing attacks are the best proof of this.

The atmosphere in the tent fell silent for a moment.

"That's it! I ate and I ate, I drank, and I said what I had to say! I've got to rush back at once, or my stupid son won't know where he's going to take the army. I give you a word of advice, Mantein, don't be blinded by hatred and anger. As long as my army arrives, no matter what means that lich has, it won't be able to turn the sky upside down! ”

"I know!"

Laclaus had great doubts about whether Manteine really understood, but the other party was also a king after all, and he must have his own considerations.

"Also, what Dalaran is up to this time, I think you can guess. Although Fiona and that woman always hacked me, and Gilinus and Minuman's elbows were often turned outward, after all, our twelve kingdoms were all inherited from the Griffon Dynasty, so it can be said that they are naturally one, and you must not make any bad decisions for the sake of immediate interests! ”

Mantein looked up, and there was still a hint of nonchalance in Laclaus at this time, and the light in his eyes made him feel that this butcher was indeed worthy of the status of king.

"I see! Do not worry! As long as the Kingdom of Virgil is okay, the Virgil family will not betray the Twelve Nations Alliance. ”
