Chapter 492: Pursuit
After the end of the Battle of the Dragons and the crushing defeat of the Combined Fleet, Dane undoubtedly won the entire war. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
On the ocean, now the two sides have completely switched directions, and the three 'aircraft carriers' of the Schindlaire people are roaming around the sea unscrupulously, and each aircraft carrier is loaded with two or three dragons.
The strength of an adult dragon can generally reach about level fourteen to fifteen. Perhaps, on land, many strong men are able to pose a threat to adult dragons, but at sea, the gathering of seven dragons is almost unmatched.
The Duchy of Puldry and Florence has only one legend, Admiral Prodmoor, but this admiral is still awaiting trial in the Silver and White Capital. Although, this so-called trial is probably just a formality, and it is impossible for the Pudri people to do this kind of self-destruction of the Great Wall and what to do with their god of war, but they must give an explanation to the Florentines who have lost even the flagship.
The process of going through it has to be done all over again.
But, then again, even if Prodmore is there, what can it be? He was at sea, relying on warships, and it was another story to say that he could not defeat the seven-headed dragon, not to mention that Dane was personally guarding the Yellow Dragon.
And this victory is not limited to the sea.
The plan of the Triple Alliance on the border between Florence and Hindlaire was meaningless after the destruction of the Combined Fleet. There was no need for Pehince to take the initiative to attack, and when the news of the dissolution of the Combined Fleet came, the coalition forces withdrew from the border and returned to the territory of the Duchy of Florence within three days.
Perkins led the army in pursuit and pursued into the principality.
Still, she was sensible. The enemy retreated on his own initiative, and the army's position was far from being chaotic. It is more risky to jump on it directly, so you have to take some smart measures.
For example, let the highly mobile Komyrya regiment bite the butt of the retreating enemy troops, and do not hit hard, it is to constantly harass and tear. Like a pack of wolves chasing away their prey, they constantly put pressure on each other, causing the enemy to panic and make them lose their ground.
This can only cause some trouble to the large forces of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, but many small units have been torn apart from the ranks because of the continuous pursuit of the Komyr Legion.
Lone squads and squadrons, naturally, become the best targets.
This chase lasted almost a week. The entire Bull County was full of smoke, and it wasn't until the coalition returned to Bull City that Pehin was blocked again.
However, in the course of a week, the coalition forces lost almost 600 fighters. At the same time, the Bull County was plundered by the Perkins Syndicate.
It was autumn, and it was harvest season, and Count Waterman really suffered a big loss.
The total number of villages and towns attacked may have exceeded thirty. The grain that had just been harvested back into the warehouse was plundered by Pehinsi.
It is said that Count Waterman was in Bull City, and he was so angry that he even strongly demanded that Count Sade, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, send troops to stop Percinth's plunder.
Sade didn't pay attention to him at all, but only further strengthened the defense situation on the front line of Bulls.
Although the county of Bull is a well-known granary in Florence, after all, the duchy is not short of food, and it is not unacceptable to lose half of the county's grain production.
As for Waterman's own damage...... Count Sade said there was nothing he could do.
Thad sat idly by, and Waterman couldn't afford to watch his territory be ruined.
He did not heed Taud's dissuasion, and personally led more than 5,000 soldiers directly under him in his own territory, pinpointed the actions of two wings of the Pehinsy group, and launched a surprise attack.
Outcome...... Didn't win.
After half an hour of fighting, Waterman's army was routed, with more than a thousand casualties on the spot, while others fled in all directions.
As for Count Bull Waterman himself, he was even more unlucky to be captured.
The news came back to Bull City, and this time it was Sade who jumped to his feet and scolded.
Waterman's private army really didn't belong to the coalition - at least not to Thad to command. However, after all, it was five thousand people, and the level of training and equipment of Waterman's army was also quite good, and the combat effectiveness was not bad, which was a very good supplement to the somewhat tight defense line.
As a result, the reckless Waterman himself was buried.
But he didn't have the means to say anything, after all, it was the private soldier of the Bull family, so he didn't have to listen to his command.
So, he could only jump around the city and scold while wiping Waterman's ass.
He had to send an envoy to the enemy's camp to ascertain the status of Count Waterman, who was a great nobleman in the principality, not a prisoner.
Pehins, on the other hand, didn't take Waterman any way.
In the past two years, before the conflict between Florence and Hindlaire intensified, there was a fairly frequent trade between the Counts of Bull and Hindlaire.
The grain merchants of the Earls of Bulls, carrying large quantities of grain, passed through the barren passes, where the trade conditions had improved very well, and transported the grain to Sindelair for sale. At the same time, Dane also issued a special instruction to grant a special mineral quota to Count Bull.
In other words, there was a period of trade honeymoon between the two sides.
It's just that this honeymoon period quickly ended as relations between the two countries became strained, and even a direct war broke out.
To be honest, at first Waterman was not in favor of fighting the Sindelaretes. The interests of the principality are one thing, his own interests are another.
The Duchy suffered from trading with the Hindlaires, and the trade quotas for minerals and magical materials were controlled by the two guilds. But he was not affected too much, on the contrary, he was happy to do business with the Schindlaires with the increase in trade quotas approved by Dain.
In this war, the business cannot be done, and his interests will be damaged, so he will naturally not support it.
If it weren't for the invasion of Pehin this time and the looting of his territory, he would not have led people to kill him on impulse.
When he became a prisoner, Pehin was kind to the count. In addition to the lack of personal freedom, good food and drink are offered, and servants are served.
And Waterman, except for being very irritable when he was just captured, his mood slowly calmed down after that.
Then, he met with Dane's envoy.
