……
When Dempsey's last team was completely defeated by Dane at a distance of sixty kilometers south of Nail Height, and surrendered unconditionally under the leadership of Hamer, Dane also received a hint that the battle was over in the "Dynasty Heart" system.
Seven thousand two hundred Imperial Points, the most Dane has ever earned in a single campaign. And now, the Imperial Points in his hand are actually a lot, and they have even reached more than 10,000.
These Imperial Points were useful, but he didn't think about using them now. Whether it's a variety of campaign skills, exchange for war treasures, or accelerated territorial upgrades and construction, these empire points can help. But after all, it is a precious consumable, and good steel needs to be used on the cutting edge. For the time being, he hadn't immediately used up such a large amount of Imperial Points.
Accumulate and give his enemies a huge surprise when it counts, that's the best use of something like Imperial Points.
Having won an important battle, Dane's mood is actually quite good. Not only him, but the entire army was in a good mood.
After winning the battle, Dain dismantled the treasury of the city of Iron Nail Gang, and the materials in it were not much converted into money, only more than 10,000 gold coins, which was quite inconsistent with the scale of the city of Iron Nail Gang - although Iron Nail Hill was not a rich place, but after all, the population size was here, which could be called the second largest city in the south of Sindelare, and it was impossible that there were only more than 10,000 gold coins in the city treasury.
It must have been before the start of the war that Dempsey had transferred the city's resources to the rear in advance.
Didn't make any money, and it didn't make Dane feel bad. He didn't look at the more than 10,000 gold coins very much, so he directly waved his hand and allocated them all as bonuses for the soldiers. In order to pay this war dividend to his soldiers, Dane himself also posted an additional 10,000 gold coins. These expenses were only for the soldiers who fought the battle alive. As for the bereavement of soldiers killed or wounded in battle, they are paid for by military expenses. Anyway, most of the money Dane makes now is thrown into the military fee.
After taking Nail Hill, Dane now basically controls the gateway to the south of Hindlaire. Holding on to this fortress city would be tantamount to holding out a possible attack from the north by the governor of Conriy. And this means that Dane's preemptive offensive has achieved its goal, and now, it depends on how Conry responds.
……
It has actually been more than a week since the troops were sent to the end of the Battle of Iron Nail Gang. During the week, Conry was not without a response to the situation in the South. First, he halted the northern offensive, and the troops that were marching towards Ice Cave City slowed down their advance, as if waiting for the outcome of the Battle of Iron Nail Height. In addition, the rescue force he mobilized for the Iron Nail Gang was not only Arnold, but also a force of about five or six thousand men, led by the high-ranking warlock Hekatim, set out from Cinderella and pressed south.
As a high-level warlock, the fourteenth rank of Hekatim not only has considerable personal strength, but is also a famous general. His original mission was to lead an army to further strengthen the power of the Southern Bloc after Arnold and Dempsey held the Iron Nail Post, and to form a counter-suppression of the powerful Dane.
But now the results are somewhat bad. No one could have imagined that Dane's offensive would be so fierce, and in a week's time, Dempsey and Arnold, the two legions that had been deployed in the south, were defeated by Dane. The position of the greeting katim, who was still halfway there, suddenly became awkward. He couldn't have attacked the Dain's legion on his own, which had just taken the Iron Nail Post, but he couldn't have made it halfway and then returned to Cinderella, where he was halfway there, awaiting further orders.
And at this moment, on the throne of Cinderella, Governor Conri, wearing a dark purple robe and a scarlet shawl, was looking indifferent. His skin looked very fair under a curl of black wavy shawl hair, and his bloodless lips never showed half a bit of ruddy even if he took a sip of red wine.
Anyone familiar with the Governor could tell that Conry was in a rather bad mood at the moment.
Beneath his throne, three of the six square tables were empty, and in front of the other three sat three high-ranking warlocks dressed in the style of the Doge of Conrie, but without their shawls. The High Warlocks, who had been waiting for silence, were urgently summoned for the sake of the current situation.
"The situation in the South is eroding." The first to speak was a skinhead warlock, who gave a definition.
"Arkady brothers, it's too early to say this, although the situation in the south is bad, it can't be called erosion, right?" The other man spoke, and this man looked fat, and he was very ugly, and the fat on his face was piled up, like a fat pig dying of old age.
The bald warlock known as Arcadi said: "Brother Hackett, don't be blindly optimistic, isn't this erosion?" The Dempsey Legion was destroyed, the Arnold Legion was destroyed, and the forces we had deployed south of Sindelair were almost swept away. The losses of the corps of nearly 10,000 people were not so easy to compensate. If Dane had been more daring, he could have gone north directly, or in less than two weeks, he would have been able to reach Cinderella's city. ”
"It's alarmist." The obese Hackett said, "Cinderella still has 10,000 warriors, and our Shadoworcer Regiment is here, and that fellow Dane will definitely not be able to return if he dares to come." ”
"But we can't attack it." Arcadi said: "Cinderella's troops cannot move, and the combat effectiveness of Hekatim's legions is worrying, and after failing to merge with the armies of Dempsey and Arnold, it may be difficult for him to deal with the advance of the Dane legion on his own." I wouldn't even advise Greekatim to move on, otherwise, if he gets too far away from Cinderella, he might suffer the same fate as Dempsey. ”
Hackett shook his head, sneered, and said, "Brother Arcade, if we hadn't worked together for so long, I would have wondered if you were a spy from the South, why did you keep talking to Dane?" (To be continued.) )
