Chapter 477: The Duke of Sartoras's Disposition
Duke Sartorias nervously commanded the battle on the front line, and after investing the last elite troops, he finally stabilized the situation on the front line, and the 10 cavalry regiments under his command finally became on par with the opponent's undead army, although the show was not as long as expected, but it was also the most basic layout, and there was no big difference from what Archebad explained, the current battle situation has basically stabilized, and Duke Sartoras's heart is no longer here, He was always concerned about the situation on the other side, and Archibald's movements were his main focus. He knew that the main reason why the situation in front of him was troublesome was because Count Cecil and the necromancer, as long as they killed the two of them, Sartorias believed that the current situation would naturally ease.
When Duke Sartoas was anxious, he suddenly saw a black man appear in front of him, and the Duke recognized the person in front of him at a glance, this is the uncle of the current Emperor Roland of the Erruk Empire, Lord Archibald. Seeing that this lord no longer had the calmness and calmness to leave here, the anger and vicissitudes on his face made Sartoas extremely afraid, looking at the emperor's uncle, now the most wanted criminal in the empire, and a dangerous person who temporarily cooperated, Sartoas felt a trembling even though he was a duke.
When Archibald returned here, he did not say anything, but walked straight back to his big tent, and he did not say anything, and Duke Sartolas did not dare to ask, but quietly walked to Archibald's big tent and listened to his orders.
"I'm sorry, Sartorias, I failed." Archibald only said a few words, but in the ears of the duke, it was a bolt from the blue. The Duke of Cecil on the opposite side has almost become a piece of the heart of the Elok Empire, in order to solve this heart disease, His Majesty the Emperor even did not hesitate to cooperate with the Blasphemy Sect, this cooperation is not without a backlash within the empire, the Grand Prince of Monshua and the Empress Catherine have a particularly serious backlash against this behavior, but Emperor Roland resisted the pressure, treacherously fought this small war with King Rex to a great extent, and let the blasphemy sect help kill Cecil from it. It can be said that it paid a great price, in order to win the support of the Grand Prince of Monshua, and even promised that the newly defeated kingdom of Soloran would be owned by the nobles of the Monshua family, so as to obtain their support to launch this war, and now I never expected that the team of the Blasphemy Sect, which has almost never missed for thousands of years, would miss this time, which made Duke Sartoas a little panicked.
"Withdraw your forces, the necromancer's power has reached its end tonight." Archibald's voice had lost the momentum of the beginning to be arrogant, and it seemed that the defeat was a deep blow to his prestige and morale.
Although Archibald's attitude was good to him, Sartoraz did not dare to be disrespectful to him, and hurriedly saluted him, according to his words, Mingjin withdrew his troops, and sure enough, the other party's necromancer did not drive the undead to chase after him, and after discovering that the Duke of Sartolas had withdrawn his troops, he also ordered the undead to stop the attack. For a moment, the noise of weapons on the battlefield only stopped, and there was silence on the black battlefield.
"This time it's our problem, you and Roland, I say goodbye for the time being, his commission to us is still valid, we died two people this time, we won't just forget it, we will definitely come back." After saying that, Archibald disappeared directly into the big tent.
Duke Sartorias knew that the emperor's uncle had left here, and the people of the blasphemous sect naturally had no affection for each other, but the killing of the elder meant that the authority of the blasphemous sect had been challenged, which the entire blasphemous sect could not bear. 200 years ago, the crown prince of the Elok Empire once killed the elders of the Blasphemy Sect, but was hunted down by the Blasphemy Sect, and the future emperor of the empire could only be handed over by his father, and since then no one dares to fight the idea of the elders of the Blasphemy Sect. The Blasphemy Sect also fought among itself during this period, and there were constantly elders dying from the power of the sect, but no one from outsiders dared to make the Blasphemy Sect's elders think about it, and after that incident, this was the first time that the Blasphemy Sect's elders were killed by outsiders, and Sartoas knew that this matter was not just a matter of the Elok Empire, and I am afraid that the Blasphemy Sect itself would not let Cecil go.
At this time, the Duke of Sartoras's subordinates reported that the men sent to raid the north of the border city were beaten back by the army of the Count of Cecil, which was not surprising at all for the Duke of Sartoras, there was not a single regular soldier of the Count of Cecil on the frontal battlefield, and of course all the soldiers would gather on the back battlefield to attack their own troops. So it's not surprising that this army was beaten so badly, the duke's mood at this time was extremely bad, the empire was divided into three kingdoms to launch a full-scale attack on the kingdom of Soroland, and the progress of the other two roads was very smooth, I am afraid that only I was blocked by a necromancer to block the way of the army, it makes people angry to think about it, I am afraid that I will inevitably be ridiculed by them when I see my peers in the future.
But in the future, there is no face in the second, the current losses are serious, after the troops are withdrawn, when the number of people is counted, they find that their 50,000 troops have lost a total of more than 10,000 people, this casualty ratio in the era of cold weapons is enough to make a well-trained army collapse, especially the last elite troops on Andean war horses, because these elites are not responsible for the role of breaking down the opponent's defense line, so they took the lead and fought with the opponent's strongest bone dragon, at the forefront of the battlefield, Having suffered the greatest casualties in almost the dog-tooth duel between friend and foe, this is an absolutely formidable force even in the entire Arrow Empire. They belonged to the elite troops cobbled together by the direct guards of the various dukes and princes, and they should have been used in the most important battlefield in the middle, but Emperor Roland attached great importance to Cecil, so he transferred this force to the eastern front, and as a result, he lost nearly half of his troops as soon as he came up, and Duke Sartolas could already imagine the anger of those nobles of the empire against him. The duke did not dare to be careless in the face of this loss, and hurriedly changed his tactics, the main activity in the past was mainly to attack, and now the duke hurriedly adjusted his strategy, and ordered to focus on defense, and hung up the battle card against Cecil, and the weak forces of the other party definitely did not dare to take the initiative to attack him, which was the way to death.
