Chapter 417: Threat or Negotiation?
According to the news from Tulle, who was staying in Beasley, the movement of the human alliance was so great that both Saint-Germain and Baya had made a request to him and were ready to fight.
A cold winter has worn away not only the patience of the human coalition army, but also the attrition of hundreds of thousands of troops. If it weren't for the dozens of second-level space rings provided by the Magic Empire, the transportation of logistical supplies alone would have been troublesome.
Moreover, hundreds of thousands of soldiers ate for a winter, but did not bring any gain, and the discordant voices of the human alliance began to grow stronger and stronger.
Attack, plunder, and rich rewards are the basis for the stability of the human alliance, as for the so-called "holy war...... All the big people know that this is just a cover to deceive the common people, and the purpose is just to let the common people in the country produce materials with peace of mind, and not to rebel against the nobles.
But even so, the small principalities that participated in the war were already in trouble, and the lives of the common people were also difficult, but they had not yet reached the point of resisting.
There are also some small principalities, although there is no big abnormality in the country for the time being, but looking at the current situation of those small principalities that are not very stable, their hearts are also full of worry, and the two together almost account for the success of the small principalities, and they all made a suggestion to the supreme commander of the coalition army, Caesar's third legion, Fried, asking for an attack in the shortest possible time, otherwise they can only withdraw from the coalition because of supply problems. The commanders of these small principality forces were respectful and resolute, and even if Caesar was the first power, they could not be asked to continue fighting in the face of internal turmoil. These commanders' demands are simple. Unless Caesar was able to solve their supply problems, they would have to command soldiers who were too hungry to take up arms if they died. Then they will lead their own soldiers back to the country.
Fred could only smile wryly.
The maximum number of troops sent by these small principalities is only one or two hundred thousand, and most of them were lost in the early battle, and at this moment, most of the troops of the small principalities have only a few hundred to a few thousand soldiers left, and the commanders of these troops are all hung with the title of general, and it is normal for a big general to have one or two thousand personal soldiers.
In Oslo, the pro-soldiers were the general's private soldiers, who were supported by the generals at their own expense, so they were not part of the regular army.
Fred believed that if he did not meet the requirements of the generals of these small principalities to attack as soon as possible, then they would definitely divide the remaining troops of their principalities into their own private troops. This hand must have been discussed with those grand dukes before leaving.
The world of aristocrats has basic rules. And even Caesar did not dare to blatantly violate this rule.
Therefore. There was nothing Fred could use to drive the troops that were nominally private troops of the generals, as the private soldiers were the personal property of the generals. Personal property is sacred and inviolable, a rule that even Constantine V did not dare to violate. At least Caesar's nobles didn't want to have an emperor who would intrude on their private property, which would make them feel very insecure.
The aristocracy is the cornerstone of the emperors and grand dukes ruling the country, and if they infringe on the basic interests of the nobles, it is tantamount to putting themselves on the opposite side of the aristocracy, and even Konstantin V would never want to try.
Therefore. When spring arrives. As soon as the ice and snow had basically melted, the human coalition forces immediately launched a massive attack.
Beasley City after a winter of silence. Finally it became a place of hustle and bustle again, plus the thick smell of blood day by day.
While the battle on the walls was raging, Tulle was distracted by the camp of the general in Saint-Germain.
His squinting posture on the top of the tent angered the general Jean of Saint-Germain in front of him even more. Rael, the marquis who is said to have the noble ancient noble blood of Saint-Germain, roared three points louder: "You damned fellow, I am the supreme commander of this army, and you must obey my orders unconditionally." Don't think you can fool yourself by pretending to be stupid, and if you don't hand over your 15,000 warriors to me today, you won't want to get out of this camp. ”
Thule was finally let go. Rael's last words were intrigued, and his gaze moved down from the roof of the gilded tent to Jean. A helpless smile appeared on Rael's face: "Let." General Rael, your command is limited to the 50,000 Saint-Germain soldiers under your command, and my warriors have been granted permission by your noble Majesty Calles to fight as they see fit, before they appear. In addition, if you want to consider my martial arts, then please find a few more people, you are now only eighty high-level, twenty gold-level soldiers on standby, and you want my life, then this ambush is too shabby. Let. General Rael, do you despise a descendant of the great god Augin? Especially since this descendant is still a berserker, should I take it as an insult to me?! ”
As soon as Thule's words came out, let. Rael was immediately deflated.
His 100 personal soldiers were just normal and responsible for their own safety, and they were not arranged to deal with Tulle at all.
But Tulle's words reminded him of one thing: this damned barbarian in front of him was a berserker! And the strength has reached the golden level before it goes berserk, and it is a terrifying monster. A berserker who is usually a high-level strength will reach the gold level after his combat power becomes berserk, so what kind of strength will Tulle, who was originally a gold-level warrior, have after he becomes berserk?
Even if it's not a holy rank, it's the pinnacle of the golden rank!
A berserker at the pinnacle of the Golden Order is enough to kill a hundred of his own soldiers without leaving a single piece of armor, and what is even more terrifying is that he heard that the barbarian berserker will not recognize him after he goes berserk, as long as it is a creature that he touches, it will all turn into corpses without exception, and most of them are still broken corpses divided into several pieces.
Let. Although Rael is already a great knight of the Golden Rank, he still lacks enough courage to face the terrifying battlefield killing machine of the Berserker.
The horizontal is afraid of being stunned, and the stunned are afraid of dying, and the berserkers of the Aojin clan are notoriously deadly! As soon as he went wild, he dared to pick up his axe even when facing a dragon.
The anger that was originally burning was suddenly extinguished by Thule's words, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty, let. Rael said, "Your Excellency, I am not threatening you, I am just telling a fact. Your warriors can't just sit idle, and if they still want to eat, ask them to do my bidding. The recent supplies seem to be very scarce, and our soldiers have begun to reduce the amount of food they eat, and in two days, they may be reduced. ”
Thule smiled: "Let." General Rael, are you threatening me? You want to cut off the food of my warriors? ”
Let. Rael smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency Thule, this decision was not made by me, but an order just given by General Fred. If we can't break through the city in front of us in a week, then we won't have enough food. ”
Thule pouted: "That's your problem. According to the agreement, if you cannot provide us with sufficient food, my warriors can refuse to participate in the battle, and besides, the hungry Ogin warriors cannot exert even half of their own strength, do you want this to happen? ”
Let. Rael took a deep breath: "That's why I came to Your Excellency, hoping that Your Excellency can use your warriors to conquer the walls of Beasley City in one fell swoop. It's just about conquering the walls, we'll take care of the rest. “
Thule sneered: "Your Excellency, you don't have the habit of talking in your dreams, do you?" Conquer the walls of Beasley? That's a lot harder than it would be to defeat Beasley, do you want my warriors to be sacrificed? ”
Let. Rael said with a bitter face: "Your Excellency Thule, I definitely didn't mean that. So let's take the lead with my troops when the siege begins tomorrow, so that your warriors won't suffer too many losses. ”
Thule chuckled: "Okay, that's a good idea." By the way, what about the supplies we have today? My warriors are still waiting for the rice to be put in the pot! ”
Let. Rael couldn't help but laugh: "I'll send someone to your camp right away, okay?" Lord Tulle. ”
Thule nodded with a big spike: "Clever! Then I'll take my leave. "He had come to ask for supplies, and now that the supplies were coming, he could naturally leave, but it was a bit of a surprise that he could get food so easily.
Tomorrow's battle, it seems that it is really going to help. Thule thought to himself.
The order of invincibility had already reached Tulle, and it had allowed him to act cheaply and devote a small number of troops to fight, but the berserker brigade could not move.
Tulle didn't ask Invincible why the Berserker Brigade couldn't move, because he knew very well in his heart that if he really let the Berserker Brigade rush up, even if Bimon's situation was better, he would definitely not be able to withstand this level of attack.
The city of Beasley was broken, that is, in an instant. But the order given to him by Invincible was, delay as much as possible, and don't do your best.
