Chapter 615: North-South Hegemony
Needless to say, the battle between the two powers is on the same footing. When the three-legged tripod is established, it can also check and balance each other, and now there are only two feet left, and it is impossible to balance, and a full-scale war between the north and the south is about to break out.
"Auguston, what is your intention in coming to us in desperation?" Smecta was very disdainful of Auguston, who was down-and-out and came to take refuge, and said, "You know that I have no kings or nobles here, and you can't get anything if you are here with me!" ”
"It doesn't matter what aristocratic status or what king!" Auguston said, "Benjamin has taken my throne and killed Ranardad, and I have nothing to ask for, just defeat him and let out this evil breath!" ”
"Your hatred for Benjamin has nothing to do with us!" Smecta said, "We're not fighting for hatred! My army cannot be a tool for your brothers to fight! ”
"Hmph, you wouldn't have been able to defeat Benjamin without me!" Auguston said, "It is said that the advance army is benevolent and virtuous, and is willing to accept any force that is willing to serve the country, even a force like the druid, can accept it, and you look down on me like this?" ”
"We can accept any force that is willing to serve the country, but how can you be said to be for the country if you kill the king and kill your father, and bully the people to seek the country?" Smecta said, "We're here, you're not welcome!" ”
"Hehe, it turns out that the advance army is just in vain, controlled by people who can't tolerate people!" Auguston laughed, "Then let's wait and see how you can resist Benjamin's army of divine beasts!" ”
Smecta angrily slapped the case: "Auguston, you come to Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai doesn't kill you, it's already benevolent enough, you dare to speak wildly, do you really think that Ben Shuai has no temper and doesn't dare to kill you?" ”
"Come on, Smecta, since you don't want to accept me, I won't say anything!" Auguston said, "I want to meet General Marisa, and you won't fail to introduce that, will you?" ”
"What are you going to see General Marissa for?" Smecta asked, "Do you think that when I meet Marisa, I will change my original intention and accept you?" ”
"You're as short-sighted as your father, and it's not interesting to tell you!" Auguston said, "Since you can't tolerate me, how can I wag my tail here and beg for mercy, seeing General Marisa, naturally there is something important to discuss, but it will never be for her to intercede for me!" ”
……
"Auguston, Marshal Smecta said that he would not keep you, and it is useless for you to look for me!" Marissa said, "Although I don't approve of his approach, I won't disobey him and forcibly keep you, the unity and integration between me and him is much more important than your little power to join!" ”
"General Marisa, you're mistaken!" Auguston laughed, "I know what I've done is intolerable, Smecta I don't hate him, but my heart hurts the situation in the Forest Country!" Benjamin is already crazy, and if he is allowed to regain and complete the authority of the Forest Country, it will definitely cause a catastrophe to the Forest Country! Now the forest country he occupies, the lives are devastated, the atrocities are abundant, the people's livelihood is grieving, regardless of the aristocratic forces, the common people all hate it, but they are powerless to fight, in the long run, the forest country will definitely brew a bigger storm! ”
"It's not easy for a bad person to become a good person, but if a good person wants to become a bad person, it's too simple and too fast!" Marissa sighed, "I can't imagine that Benjamin will become like this, it is power and desire that have burned his brain and occupied his soul!" ”
"The only person who can save the Forest Country now is General Marisa!" Auguston said.
"Me?" Marissa laughed, "Auguston, you think too highly of me!" ”
"No, it's you who look down on yourself!" Auguston said, "Although I have done despicable things, after I came to power, I have at least not done anything that is sorry for my people and the country, and my subjects within my territory have also been stable and prosperous!" There are strong enemies outside, and there are princes and forces who covet the throne inside, although I can't do it, but I still stick to the bottom line for the forest country and the elf clan! General Marisa, Smecta's power seems to be based on the power of his army and accepted the Druid's forces, which has only grown, but in fact, it is General Marisa's benevolent policy towards the management of the entire Druid's territory, your angelic compassion, and the new Elven Codex, so that Smecta's forces can be overtaken by the latecomers......"
"Shut up!" Marissa said angrily, "Auguston, are you driving a wedge between me and Smecta and Bols?" The three of us are in charge of the division of labor, Smecta is in charge of the army, Bols is in charge of the parliament, and I am in charge of logistics and money. Auguston, what do you want to do if you die unrepentant? ”
"Hehe, if I, Auguston, have the idea of dividing you, there will be five thunders in the sky!" Auguston laughed, "When is it now, when am I separating you?" You can only give Benjamin a better chance of winning, I say this, in addition to respecting you, I still hope that you will take more responsibility and destroy Benjamin's army of divine beasts! ”
"Alright! I'm sure you don't have that in mind! Marissa said, "Is the army of unicorn beasts really so powerful? You're too alarmist, aren't you? ”
"I've worked hard for nearly ten years to operate, and three or two months have been ruined, how much stronger is your strength than me, I'm afraid it's also between the best, right? I can only support it for two or three months, how long can you hold it out? The horror of the army of divine beasts, unless you see it with your own eyes, you can't experience it yourself, you can only exist in fantasy, and you can never imagine what kind of horror it is! ”
"Do you have a way to deal with the army of divine beasts?" Marissa asked.
Auguston laughed: "Of course I have, and I am here specifically for this matter!" ”
"Why didn't you tell Smectham, but you came to me, I'm not very familiar with military affairs!" Marissa smiled, "Besides, you have the method of breaking the army of divine beasts, why didn't you break it yourself, but made it so downcast?" ”
"My method of cracking was obtained in exchange for the lives of countless soldiers and my downfall!" "Even if I knew how to crack it now, I couldn't do anything about it!" And General Marisa, you are the key person to crack the army of divine beasts, I don't tell you, who to tell? I'm afraid that General Marisa is unwilling to make your own sacrifice and eradicate the scourge for the Forest Country! ”
"You don't have to provoke me!" Marissa said, "Didn't you take advantage of my weakness that I couldn't bear to see the destruction of life? Tell me what the method is, as long as I can break the army of divine beasts, I am willing to do any sacrifice! But if you're just using me for your own personal gain, hehe, although I never kill anyone, it's okay to make an exception once! ”
"Then after listening to it, it's not too late to kill me!"
……
The cold wind is bleak, and the winter jungle is a silent scene.
The border between the Forest Nation and the former Druid Territory is the place where the two major forces of Benjamin and Smecta fought each other, and both sides have completed the assembly of their armies here, regardless of the cold of the ice and snow, and are still sharpening their knives.
Benjamin's camp, an army of half a million people, divided into three routes.
The Chinese army is naturally led by Benjamin himself, although the strength is only 150,000, but there is an army of divine beasts, and there are two thousand phantom archers as guards, the most elite, the general Da Comar is the vanguard of the Chinese army, commanding the army of divine beasts, and the general Mozari is the marshal of the Chinese army, commanding the main force of the Chinese army to be responsible for covering up after Da Kemal.
The left flank army, the Western Route Army, was Marshal Pantony, with dwarves and elven archers as the main force, with a total strength of 200,000;
The right army, that is, the eastern route army, was Marshal Josephine, with the Pegasus cavalry as the vanguard, and the elven archers and dwarven legions as the main force, with a total strength of 150,000.
Benjamin had complete trust in the Divine Beast Army, so the Mid Lane Army didn't need too many soldiers and horses, but its wings were bloated.
The advance army of the Smecta camp, with a total strength of 800,000 troops, was on the defensive, relying on the Lloris River and the towns and countryside on the north bank to arrange the defensive line, and it was also divided into three main armies, but it was not as clearly divided as Benjamin's camp.
Marshal Smecta naturally sat in the middle lane, and the legion was dominated by centaurs, dwarven warriors, and elven misses, with some druid warriors, and the base camp was Hollis City;
The left army is General Marisa, the commander of the East Route Army, and the legion is mainly composed of Pegasus patrol horses, elven archers, and dwarves, relying on Thanaro City as the city defense, and there are troops inside and outside the city;
The right army is the Western Route Army, the main general Bols, in addition to the centaurs, dwarven warriors and river elf archers, there are also druid warriors, with Bania City as the center of the defense.
In terms of troops, the Smecta camp has the advantage, and it is on the defending side, and the terrain is favorable; In terms of morale, the two sides are equal, and they are both imposing and victorious; In terms of the degree of elite, it is needless to say that Benjamin has an absolute advantage whether he is a phantom archer or an army of divine beasts, and the army of divine beasts is unquestionable in their ability to break through the defensive line, and the phantom archers can not only be used as a regular army, but also as a special forces to sneak attack the enemy's rear, without such an overwhelming advantage in elite, Benjamin dared to launch an active attack in the case of such a disparity in strength, and his brain was in water.
Another point is the logistical strength, I have to say that the druid territory in charge of Marisa is now well governed, although Marissa's series of reforms offended many powerful people, but it was supported by the vast majority of the people, which made Marisa in the Druid's territory, won a very high popularity, the people loved, the army supported, the prestige is not under the Smecta, there is a Pegasus Angel, Lady Liberty reputation. And Benjamin's rear was the territory of Auguston's and Hofton's forces that he had just obtained, and he did not have time to digest and settle his rear management. Therefore, compared with the logistical strength, this point should be added to Smecta's advance army.
On the north and south banks of the Lohris River, the battle flag hunted in the cold wind, and after the Augustine forces basically disappeared and the three-legged situation became a situation of hegemony between the north and the south, the first official battle between the two sides was a decisive battle, which was today.
