Chapter 1392: Bloodbath
Although since the beginning of the war, especially after the ownership of several demigod creatures and those powerful legions was determined, everyone knew that this Prince of Terreth was powerful.
However, in the eyes of the people, this prince was not a brutal man, because it is not difficult to see from the results of his previous battles that compared to the battlefield that Fortonmar was in charge of, in addition to stubborn resistance, his side rarely carried out bloody massacres, including the treatment of prisoners, and mostly pacified and persuaded to surrender.
So for this massacre, people only regarded it as an accident, after all, judging from the information collected, people also knew that the lord of the medium-sized city was indeed a relatively stubborn guy.
But when this kind of thing appeared one after another, and the city captured by the prince, people realized that something was wrong, but for such a terrifying flying legion, even the Rebecca Empire was helpless for a while.
And as time passed, many more cities were successively washed in blood, and the flying army commanded by Prince Terris was also like a dark cloud, shrouded in everyone's hearts.
If before that, most of the attention was focused on the two legendary figures, that is, the army of Fortonmar and Celia, after all, compared to the other auxiliary legions, the legions under the command of these two were the main force, and each of them reached more than 500,000.
But as the war situation here continues to escalate, people are gradually turning their attention to Li Ran, and with the successive fall of so many small and medium-sized territories, even the lords of some large cities have begun to worry about their situation.
As for this kind of worry, it seems normal to people, after all, from the current information, although all major cities have air defense barriers, but the flying legion commanded by Prince Terris is different from other flying legions, and it is wrapped in nearly 100,000 high-level troops above the legendary level, and it does have the ability to directly attack such cities.
What's more, in people's eyes, in addition to these bright faces, there are also those demigod-level powerhouses who have never appeared on the battlefield, and everyone believes that it is very likely that they are also by this prince's side at this time!
And for those noble lords of the Rebecca Empire, they may never have thought that the sky above their empire would one day be controlled by the enemy, so whether it was for the sake of sub-dignity or self-preservation, they also actively responded to the call of the capital, and after gathering their respective air forces, the Duke of Gonannis was in charge of commanding a large-scale blockade of Prince Terris's air legion.
But what made them depressed was that in the face of the flying legion they had formed, including tens of thousands of griffins, as well as a large number of dragon eagles and angel legions, they finally blocked their opponents in the field, but this prince not only did not have the slightest intention of fighting in the air, but should have already thought of countermeasures.
As the opponent's nearly 100,000 warriors above the legendary rank stepped down from the back of the flying giant ray to the land, the shield array formed tightly protected the Venserb elven marksman among them, plus other flying arms such as the giant dragon and the Valkyrie riding Pegasus, they also suddenly adopted low-altitude tactics, and wiped out nearly half of their air legion in just the first battle.
After this battle, people were even more depressed to find that Prince Terris had sent more men here, and this time from the city of dawn was the retrained Barranca Spear Air Cavalry Legion, numbering 12,000 people, all of whom were above the super rank!
Although these Barranca spear air cavalry are of a lower rank than the dragons and Valkyries above the Legend of the Movement rank, in addition to their anti-air ability, their most powerful role is reflected in the attack on ground targets.
Because of this, people later discovered that the Prince of Terres, who had lost control, seemed to have become even more crazy than before, not only speeding up the attack on the territory of large, medium and small towns, but even the number of bloodbaths was increasing.
To be able to become the overlord of a region, the Rebecca Empire does have extraordinary troops and a vast territory, but even if it is a vast territory, its town territory is not infinite, and if you calculate carefully, the entire Rebecca Empire has only more than 300 territories above the city level.
Of course, this does not include knights and lords who have not yet become official nobles, and if you add in the town-level realms they have established, this number is too much.
But even if you don't count these town-level territories, just the small and medium-sized city territories, in less than two months, more than 20 cities have fallen one after another, it can be said that every other day a city is lost, and even if you add those town-level territories, it can almost be said that it has reached one a day, this number is a bit terrifying.
And the most worrying thing is that after the defeat of the air legion that was finally formed, it is conceivable that for a long time in the future, Prince Terrys's flying legion will continue to kill, and many lords below the small and medium-sized cities are already a little panicked.
At this moment, these nobles and nobles who owned territories couldn't help but think of transferring their elite forces to the nearby acropolis and even the capital, after all, in this way, they might still have some opportunities to turn over in the future.
However, at this time, people were depressed to find that those huge dragons, including the Valkyries who habitually marched in formation, were all right, but those Barranca spear air cavalry who came later had become everyone's nightmare at the moment.
Twelve thousand Barranca spear cavalry, although they could not cover all areas of the empire, were able to spot most of the local forces trying to enter these large cities after they suddenly dispersed in small groups.
And once discovered, these guys with extraordinary eyesight as Warclan will gather the surrounding flying legions, and even ask for help from Prince Terryth on top of the king-level flying giant ray, and then wait for them only to be completely annihilated in the wilderness without shelter.
Staying within the territory is certainly terrifying, but before that, after all, there are still many city lords and citizens who have survived, but if it is found outside the city, people will never leave any of the princes alive, including the nobles who have surrendered, this prince will only be slaughtered.
Therefore, for a while, many nobles did not dare to lead their troops out, especially when they found that as the taste of this Prince of Terres increased, they seemed to have begun to focus on the territory of those large cities, and they stayed within their own territory.
A few days later, with the fall of the first large city, although embarrassed to speak, the lords of these small and medium-sized cities couldn't help but feel relieved, especially when they saw this terrifying flying legion resting here and flying to another large empire, they consciously guarded their territory.
At the same time, on the side of the Rebecca Empire, it seemed that Li Ran's intentions were also discovered, but firstly, the main army, including several major dukes, was at war with Vertonmar and Celia, and secondly, the capital was also too busy to take care of itself, although some orders were also issued for this assembly, but at this time it was obviously a little too late.
Not to mention the large and small nobles in the territory of small and medium-sized cities, they dare not go out at this time, and even those counts who have established large cities are desperately strengthening the defense of their territory at this moment, hoping that the Prince of Territh will not dare to attack the city after seeing all this, and he will also cater to others.
After all, in their opinion, if they drive their so-called elite troops to the Acropolis or even the capital, not to mention the huge risks along the way, even if they are lucky enough to arrive, they will definitely be consumed as cannon fodder in the war.
And now guarding his territory, not only does he not need to risk his life, but even if he is captured, according to the first earl to survive the loss of the city, this Prince of Terreth is not a master who can only kill completely.
On the other hand, if at the beginning of the war, when the flying legion, including Prince Terryth, did not appear, once the capital gave the order, no one would have dared to resist.
But at this time, not only the imperial coalition army was defeated, but the capital was also in the midst of a war, and the most important thing was that it was a matter of life and death, even if the capital did not issue a death order, they, the small lords below the earl, naturally had to plan for themselves.
And by then observing the movements of this flying legion, including what the Prince of Terryth had done, these lords below the earl were also more relieved.
Although I don't know if this prince was afraid of arousing the anger of the public, so in the subsequent siege of the city, although there were also bloody or even slaughtered actions, but it was mostly against some stubborn people who tried to lead troops into the acropolis and the capital, but for the nobles who surrendered, even if the initial resistance was strong, this Prince Terryth finally showed mercy to his subordinates and spared the lives of those former colleagues.
Seeing this situation, these small and medium-sized lords and nobles also made up various reasons to refuse the invitations of those nearby nobles above the marquis level and stayed in their own territories.
The war is still in full swing, it can be said that every moment, every battle that happens here will affect everyone's hearts, but compared to this cruel and lively scene, what Zhao Lanlan never expected was that Li Ran took advantage of this time to accompany her very seriously for a few days.
