Chapter 614: The Battle of the Two Powers
Benjamin, who had more than 500 unicorn beasts to join, took control of Madeya City within two days, bleeding like a river, and countless corpses, and the people of Madea City were panicked and completely surrendered to Benjamin's coercion.
Benjamin finally got his wish and sat on the throne of the king, in the palace of his father Carlos, to be worshiped by hundreds of officials and the people of the city. This is the throne of the elf king that he needs, and this is the honor he should enjoy.
Then, led by Dacomar and Mozari, the army of mythical beasts and phantom archers slaughtered their own territory in the northeast, and launched a fierce attack on Auguston's main army assembled on their borders with the two armies of Pantony and Josephine.
Originally, the three forces checked and balanced each other, and now Benjamin's forces have sprung up again, and his army's sudden action against Auguston's forces naturally attracted the attention of the northern Smecta forces, Smecta, Marisa and Bols immediately reacted and put pressure on Benjamin to the south, Benjamin's military operations had caused his northern defense line to be relatively empty, so Smectah's forces quickly occupied most of Benjamin's territory.
Faced with two common enemies, Benjamin learned to be obedient this time, and despite the army of unicorn beasts, he also learned to be obedient. Regardless of Smecta's army going south and the loss of most of his territory, he launched an encirclement and suppression of Auguston with all his might, ignoring Smecta at all, and only chasing and attacking Auguston, exchanging space for time.
In fact, Benjamin is facing, in addition to the forces of Auguston and Smecta, there is also a force in action, that is, the joint forces of the seventh prince Hofton and the eleventh prince Zaragoza, who divided the territory of the forest country with Auguston, but Hofton's territory is small and the power is not large, and it has always belonged to the side that depends on Auguston's forces. Now that Auguston is being chased and beaten by Benjamin, he wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait until the two of them lose and lose both of them, and then reap the benefits. But the momentum of Benjamin made Auguston retreat, so that Hofton was on pins and needles, he hesitated, if he helped Auguston deal with Benjamin, he could still save half of the country; If you sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, in the end Auguston will be defeated, and he will inevitably suffer from the fish in the pond, because Benjamin will not let himself go; He still has a way, that is, before the two sides divide the victory and defeat, he can still keep his own power, but Benjamin will settle accounts after the fall, and whether he will use his army as cannon fodder, he has no bottom in his heart.
As a result, Hofton secretly supported Auguston, but openly sent an envoy to negotiate terms with Benjamin. Secretly supporting Augustine can make Augustine last longer, and it will be more difficult for Benjamin to eliminate Auguston, so that he will have an advantage in the negotiations, and Benjamin can only win himself over, otherwise the situation will be one-sided, and Benjamin probably won't bother to pay attention to his envoy.
"Brother Eleven, I didn't expect that it was you who came!" Benjamin, who was sitting on the throne of the palace, smiled at Zaragoza, the eleventh prince of Hofton's messenger, and said, "The first to admit that this king is the king of the elves is actually the eleventh brother, which really surprises this king!" ”
"The fifteenth brother has an army of divine beasts, and his qi runs through Changhong, and sooner or later he will be able to recover the entire territory of the Forest Country!" Zaragoza smiled, "However, it's not yet time for the situation to be completely clear, is it that the fifteenth brother is in a hurry?" ”
"You refuse to bow down to this king, it seems that you are not here to surrender!" Benjamin smiled coldly, "It's okay, this king will spend some time to let you see the power of the army of divine beasts!" Hmph, what is Hoffton thinking in his heart, what is he doing secretly, this king is not blind, what conditions does he have, can't he tell this king, after all, they are all brothers, just above this hall, the heroic spirit of my father is still looking at us, do you have to force this king to bear some more responsibility for killing his brothers? ”
"It's all about survival, whether Augustine is king, or whether the fifteenth brother is in the dynasty, we just want to live! Brother Qi and I are also forced by the situation! Zaragoza said.
"You are already competing with the three forces of Hoftton and Auguston, how can you be in cahoots with them?" Benjamin asked, "Although the battle between you is disgusting to this king, but Brother Eleven, you use Qingliu as your team to fight against Auguston's clan forces and Hofton's relatives forces, this king admires this courage and courage from the bottom of his heart!" It's a pity that time has smoothed out your sharpness Brother Eleven! ”
"Back then, I was in alliance with Seventh Brother Hofton, and it was the eldest brother Auguston who was pressing step by step, and we could only combine in order to survive! Later, the alliance with Auguston was also to unite with the outside world, to deal with the druids, and to deal with the invasion of the fifth war zone of Arad, for which the ninth brother has died! Today, I am willing to follow in the footsteps of Brother Jiu and resolve the hatred between brothers! ”
"For Auguston, for Hofton, are you worth it?" Benjamin asked, puzzled.
"No, it's for my brothers, it's for the Forest Country, it's for the vitality of the elves!" Zaragoza said with great righteousness.
"What conditions do you have?" Benjamin said.
Zaragoza said: "I have no other requirements with Seventh Brother, we will rule by dividing the river and never offending each other!" ”
"Hahaha!" Benjamin laughed and said, "This king is determined to recover the entire territory of the Forest Country, how can he promise you to divide the river and rule the Forest Country?" You are dividing the territory and breaking the soil, which really makes the forest country and the elf clan hurt their vitality, and you are so righteous and awe-inspiring by Brother Eleven, this king almost believes it! To tell you the truth, this king can pretend to agree to your request first, and then find a reason to deal with you after this king has cleaned up Auguston, which is much safer! But now, since you want to divide the river and rule, you are the enemy of this king, and this king respects your decision, so please go back and prepare for war! ”
"Since the fifteenth brother has no room for negotiation, he can only meet each other in arms!" Zaragoza sneered and said, "Although Auguston's position is quite criticized by the world, at least he is fighting against strong enemies inside, and the matter of fratricidal cannibalism has never happened since Brother Jiu!" But the fifteenth brother, you are cruel and unkind, causing rivers of blood to flow in the city of Madeya and the forest country, and the souls are all over the wilderness, and there is no brotherly affection, the righteousness of the same clan, repeatedly killing the same room and the same clan, and destroying the conscience! I'd like to see how far you have gone than Auguston! ”
With that, Zaragoza turned and strode out of Benjamin's palace.
Benjamin looked at Zaragoza in the distance, with a look of doubt in his eyes, but then he was full of murder again and gritted his teeth......
Benjamin has arrogant capital, because the army of divine beasts is really invincible. Alasia is strong enough, the sixth-level soldier paladin Arad was only more than 400 horses in his heyday, and the fifth legion was 100 horses, Catherine's other legions couldn't even be formed, because it was too expensive, the conditions were too harsh, to put it simply, the cost performance was too low, no matter how powerful it was, it couldn't afford to raise it. And the unicorn beasts that are also sixth-level soldiers, Benjamin has five hundred and eighty-six, although the unicorn beasts are slightly inferior to the paladins in terms of combat power, but this whole guy basically has no cost, just like a strong wind blowing, and you don't need to provide them with equipment, nor do you need to prepare any food and grass, and they don't spend military salaries, and there is basically no maintenance cost! The strength of the Ancient Forest Empire is precisely because it has an army of divine beasts that others can't have, and it has a divine beast fence! After the mysterious disappearance of the mythical beast fence thousands of years ago, the forest empire declined rapidly, and the elf king was even driven out of the territory of the forest country by the druids.
Benjamin, who has regained possession of the Divine Beast Fence and regained the help of the Divine Beast Army, dreams of a powerful Elven Empire, and he wants to let the glory of the Elven Empire shine again throughout Middle-earth.
More than two months later, Auguston's main army, Benjamin's army, was attacked from the north and south, and was routed without suspense, Marshal Lanaridd was killed in battle, and Auguston was nowhere to be found.
Benjamin ordered Pantony to go north to defend against Smecta's troops, and he himself had to settle his worries first, that is, the forces of Hoftton and Zaragoza, which had crossed the river. Although their power is not to be feared, it makes Benjamin like a man, and only by eliminating the small forces will his rear be stable, and he will be able to concentrate all his strength on the more powerful Smecta forces in the north. In fact, this is also a lesson learned from the last two-front battle and the defeat of both fronts, so that he knows that he has to eat bite by bite and do things one by one.
The southern conquest of Hofton and Zaragoza made Benjamin still suffer a lot of obstacles, Auguston's powerful force, the reason why it was so easy to get it, the first reason is, of course, because Augustine was caught off guard, and the army of divine beasts suddenly fell from the sky, so he had no time to prepare to mobilize the army, and the other reason was that his territory was originally connected to Benjamin's territory, and Auguston formed an offensive and defensive posture against Benjamin to the north and northeast, And Benjamin's army of divine beasts was indeed killed from the rear of his army, Madeya City, and if he wanted to redeploy, there was too late, and the two armies of Pantony and Josephine, who were confronting Auguston's army, would not make it so easy for Augustine to adjust his strategy. Of course, there are other factors, but these two main reasons are enough to make Auguststone unable to recover.
But Hofton, unlike Zaragoza, has a small force, but has time to prepare. The army of the unicorn beast adapts to all kinds of terrain and various tactics, but there is nothing to be done about the fortified city, the armies of Hoftton and Zaragoza take advantage of the conditions of the rivers and rivers on their own territory, and hundreds of thousands of troops are deployed layer by layer, using the fortified fortress to fight steadily, not giving up an inch of land, and even harassing the water army everywhere, just to force Benjamin to retreat or agree to their conditions, even if it is to submit to Benjamin, but also to keep their own territory.
Benjamin didn't eat this at all, although he lost his troops and lost his generals, but now he was strong, and he no longer cared about these casualties, but because of the stubborn resistance of the enemy, he aroused his anger, and even ordered which city dared to assist in the resistance, and the day the city was broken, it was the time of the slaughter.
Despite this, it took Benjamin more than half a year to completely recover this small place, and at this time, the army of Pantony and Josephine had been defeated by Smecta's army, and the territory occupied by Benjamin when the original tripod was basically completely occupied by Smecta.
Since then, the three-legged situation of the forest country has been completely broken and has become a battle between the two powers!
