Chapter 744: An Unexpected Situation

Jian Chen used to be the lord of Hammondale for a while, and this matter was well known, and Inheim naturally knew about it.

As an outstanding imperial general, Inheim also wondered if Jian Chen would let Tren leave a magical mark in Hammondale before leaving Hammondal, just in case he needed it.

After all, with the magic mark, Jian Chen could counterattack Hammondale through a one-way magic portal at any time, and Inheim thought that with Jian Chen's style, it was impossible not to leave such a hand.

So Inheim has actually been guarding against the Ntagrean Army for giving him such a hand, and sneaking up on him when he is unprepared.

For this reason, Inheim's monitoring of the two Entagri armies attacking Hammondale this time can be said to be extremely strict, and at the same time, he also asked Kendal to help him monitor the movements of the Ntagrean Empire's troops distributed in the Negan, Baildes and Ofer regions, so as to prevent the pre-burning, with these arrangements, although he is not 100% sure, he is also confident that according to the movements of the enemy's army, he can judge in advance whether the Entagri army has the intention of using magic portals to sneak attack his back route.

The reason why he chose to fight today was because he had prepared everything, and because the Entagrui army had just used the doomsday judgment magic, but on the other hand, it also had a lot to do with the fact that the Entagrui army in various places did not have any abnormal actions, and he felt that the Entagri army should have no plans in this regard, at least not today.

Therefore, he was very bold and exerted, leaving only a very small army to garrison the large battalion, in order to complete the battle.

But he didn't expect at all that the matter he had been worried about was actually the one thing that Jian Chen had been planning.

From the very beginning, Jian Chen had been planning to encircle the Erathian army on three sides.

It is precisely for this reason that when the offensive of the Erathia army was far beyond imagination, and even almost broke through the defense line he had set, Chen Jian never had the idea of temporarily retreating to avoid the sharp edge of the Erathia army, because he had no need to retreat at all, as long as he held back for a while, he could let the enemy completely get into the trap he had laid.

At the same time, Chen Jian also expected that the enemy might take precautions against this, so he did not mobilize those troops that might be monitored by the enemy's spies, but let an army that the enemy had not even thought of to take on the surprise mission.

That is, after a period of reorganization and expansion, the total strength of the army has reached more than 200,000 at this time, and the Tatalia Liberation Army is composed of a large number of soldiers of the Tetalia swamp race and the local unique beast army.

When Inheim commanded the elite main force of the Erathian army to storm Chen Jian's camp, the former famous general of the Erathian Empire, who left Bruce to deal with the follow-up matters, the beautiful sorceress Edred, but together with the fire witch Edney, personally led the main force of the Taylasian Liberation Army, through the magic portal opened by Tren, using the magic mark left back then, suddenly appeared in the hinterland of the Hammondale region, and then rushed and broke through the empty Elasia army camp with lightning speed. Copied Inheim's back path.

Because Haim's strong camp built to prevent the enemy's sneak attack, it was quickly lost due to insufficient troops, and the Taylaria Liberation Army used bipedal wyverns to suppress the opponent from the air, and then used the crystal dragon and the hydra dragon to knock on the opponent's defense, and finally, countless wolf-headed monsters, lizardmen, six-legged monitor lizards and brute bulls, like a tide, poured into this enemy camp that was not easy to capture, drowning the few Elasia soldiers among them, and seizing countless supplies from the enemy army.

"It's a boring battle."

Adridrid watched his troops sweep through the Erathian Army, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart, once upon a time, she was also a member of the Erathian Army, one of the famous generals of the Erathia Empire, but now that things have changed, she has turned to attack the Erathia Army, which makes her sigh that the world is changing.

And this battle really didn't have much technology to speak of, and the huge advantage made her easily win without any command at all, which made her feel very bored.

But soon, Edride, who remembered something, had a meaningful smile on his face.

"Chen Jian, this guy, if you don't make a move, it's just that, if you make a move, it's such a large-scale hundreds of thousands of Erathian troops, or because of the famous guy in Haim, if it is wiped out in Hammondale, the Erathia Empire is really going to break its muscles and bones, first the Elven Kingdom lost most of the territory, and then let the Erathia Empire defeat so miserably, this time, the limelight of the Entagri Empire is really full of momentum, it is not good"

"I didn't expect that Jian Chen usually doesn't look very eye-catching, but he has such an amazing strategic vision, obviously it was originally a rather unfavorable situation, but he made it like this, but instead he achieved the Ntagri Empire, and made the prestige of the empire to a higher level, and it is indeed worthy of being a figure that even Catherine wants to woo, but unfortunately, if he hadn't been forced by the empire to rebel, Catherine was forced to abdicate again, and the two joined forces, how could the Erathia Empire end up where it is now?"

"But this guy is very cunning, knowing that I am interested in him, but deliberately transferred me far away to Tytalia, so that I have no chance to get close to him, but now that I am back, I have to find a way to grasp the opportunity, for so many years, the man who makes my heart flutter is this guy, he is not responsible, but he can't, this position of the fourth queen of the Entagri Empire, I am going to decide"

Thinking of these thoughts in his heart, thinking of Jian Chen's appearance of always behaving in front of him because of his own flirtation, the smile on Adride's face became even stronger.

"Lord Adride, you seem to be happy?"

Seeing the strange smile of Edri, Edney beside her couldn't help but be curious.

After Edney returned to Negan with Tanan, she didn't stay in Negan for long, as the Witch of Fire, the signature figure of the Tytaria Resistance, she had to assist Eldrite in many affairs, and it was precisely because of her fame that Edrid was able to completely control the Tytaria Liberation Army during this time, and commanded it like an arm.

Hearing Edney's question, Adri's smile became even brighter: "Aren't you happy?" ”

Realizing from Adrid's rhetorical question, Edney wisely did not follow the question, and replied to the other party's words: "Of course I'm happy, I've been waiting for this day, I've been waiting for a long time."

This sentence is a real truth, all the soldiers of the Taylasian Liberation Army, including Edney, and the refugees in the swamp, who is not thinking day and night about teaching the necromancer, the Erathian Empire, and the Kingdom of Bracada, the invaders who do whatever they want in the swamp and bring them countless suffering.

It's just that the invaders are strong, but the Titarians have never had such a chance, and the rebels have repeatedly failed, and the swamp has become more and more chaotic.

But now it's different, because they have the help of the Ntagri Empire, with the Liberation Army of Tetaria.

The same outsiders, the necromancer, the Erathian Empire, and the Bracada Mage Kingdom have brought war and destruction, despair and hatred to the inhabitants of the swamp; What the Entagri Empire has brought to the inhabitants of the swamps is peace and protection, hopes and dreams.

In this case, the rearmed Tytarians quickly recognized the existence of the Ntagri Empire and the idea of the Ntagri Empire.

Today's battle is not only a battle of revenge for the Erathian Empire, but also the first battle for them to officially join the Entagri Empire and participate in the construction of their ideal country.

They abandoned the battle flag of the former Kingdom of Tytaria, and instead erected the battle flag of the Entagri Empire, and through the magic portal, they swept into the hinterland of Hammondal, and the battle horn unique to the swamp was sounded.

Today will be the day when they begin to move towards glory.

So how could they not be happy, would not be excited.

"The enemy has been dispersed, it seems that the mission on this side has been completed, and the next thing is to encircle the Erathian army"

After a while, seeing that most of the small number of Erathia troops had been annihilated, and the remnants had completely collapsed and fled, Adride immediately ordered the battle to stop, and the army from the swamp began to turn and move, heading towards the intended sniper location.

A huge encirclement net was formed.

But the prey in the net didn't intend to sit still, it wasn't Inheim's style, and it wasn't the style of the Erathian Army.

Inheim, with his army, once again launched a fierce attack on Chen Jian's camp.

"There's no going back"

Inheim stood on a high ground and said to the generals and officers who had been summoned.

"We have lost air supremacy, and we are surrounded by the enemy on three sides, if we have the idea of breaking through and returning to the empire, it will be just the enemy's appetite, the enemy wants us to do this, think about it, we have been fighting fiercely for most of the day, at this time, the hasty retreat will only increase the fatigue of the soldiers, the enemy has laid a long-recuperated army on our retreat, they are waiting for work, and they can also use the flying troops to constantly harass us"

"We can't break through their blockade quickly, they just surround without fighting, or fight and leave, we will be dragged alive by them, the camp has been lost, we are now a lone army without supplies, we will only fight weaker and weaker, we can't afford to drag on like this, only to die, we might as well fight to the death with the enemy here, the enemy in front of us is also tired, their strength is not as good as ours, as long as we break through their defense line in the melee their magician, Their flying units will all be useless, and more importantly, their emperor is there"

Hoarse, Inheim emphasized word by word: "The emperor of the Entagri Empire, Jian Chen, is there in front of us."

"As long as you capture him, or kill him, the Entagri army will be crushed without a fight, and the Entagri empire will be torn apart, the enemy's strength is not as good as ours, they are as tired as us, their magicians have not yet recovered their magic, their flying units have not yet recovered their strength, and they think we are going to retreat, they must be busy deploying forces to form a pursuit force at this time, their line of defense will no longer be invulnerable, they will start to be careless, our chance is coming, we still have a chance to win"

"Now, it's time for us to go all out and fight to the death with our lives."

Inheim raised his arms and shouted.

"Fight to the Death"

The officers responded to Inheim with the same raises their arms and shouted.

"Fight to the Death"

The Erathian Army, which had just retreated some distance, turned around and made a comeback.

Inheim departed a part of his forces to snipe at Morriel's army and Eldrid's army, which were being killed from the other two directions, but he personally commanded the main force and pounced on the Entagri army camp in front of him, which was guarded by the enemy emperor.

Once again, fierce battles unfolded.

"A famous general is a famous general after all, because Heim really deserves his reputation and underestimated him, it's my fault" Seeing the Erathian army on the magic screen rushing towards the defense line again like mercury, Chen Jian couldn't help but be shocked by the opponent's extraordinary courage and calm judgment.

He really didn't expect the Erathian army to dare to fight back and try to reverse the defeat, he had expected that the enemy would retreat and then manage to break out of Hammondal.

Therefore, just as Inheim estimated, seeing the Elassian army retreating in a hurry, and feeling that the overall situation had been decided, Chen Jian did begin to mobilize his troops, preparing to form a pursuit force, and cooperate with the other two armies to encircle and annihilate the Erathia army, but he didn't expect the enemy to give him a return rifle.

This caught him off guard once again by Inheim.

The sudden attack inevitably caused some confusion among the mobilized Ntagrean army.

The troops, who had just withdrawn from the defensive line, began to hurriedly turn around and return to the defense again.

Unfortunately, although these troops returned to the line before the enemy attacked, it was too late to make further defensive preparations.

The two sides were strangled together again.

Both the Erathian army and the Entagre army had a reason to fight to the end, so the battle was fierce as soon as it began.

But in contrast, the Erathia Army, which had the advantage of numbers in the last battle, overwhelmed the Entagre Army in terms of momentum, and the battle situation began to change in favor of the Erathia Army, and many places on the defense line showed signs of collapse.

This situation made Vikna, who hurriedly returned to Chen Jian's side with the royal guards after the enemy retreated, greatly worried.

"Your Majesty, are you ...... temporarily?"

She wanted to persuade Chen Jian to go to a safer place, but as soon as the words came out, Chen Jian raised his hand to stop her.

"Vikna, I understand what you have to say, but that's impossible, you know, if I retreat, this battle, we will definitely lose"

Looking at the female elf with a worried face, Jian Chen said lightly: "At the critical moment, if I leave the battlefield, what will the soldiers think?" What I need to do now is to try to cheer up the soldiers and stop the enemy's offensive, and only in this way can I ensure the safety of my army and remain undefeated, how can I be okay? ”

"Having said that, but Your Majesty ......" From Jian Chen's words, Vikna sensed a certain possibility, and couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly spoke again to try to dissuade her, but before she could finish speaking, Jian Chen interrupted her words again.

"Esreina is here, my safety, and the command of the guard, all of it is up to you"

After saying this with a smile, Jian Chen turned his head and no longer paid attention to the anxious female elf, but looked at Katarina, who was sitting on the side: "Your Highness Katarina, I don't know if you would like to go closer with me to watch this battle?" I will do my best to protect you, you just need to stay by my side, of course, I can also send His Highness to a safe place to watch the battle, after all, pulling guests into the battlefield is not hospitality"

Although the words sounded good, Jian Chen didn't really plan to bring this pirate princess to the battlefield, but he had already invited the other party to come over to watch the battle, and it was not a matter to leave the other party here like this at this time, so Jian Chen's idea was to send the other party to a safe place.

Of course, in order to take care of the other party's face, he couldn't just ask the other party to take refuge so directly, so he had the above arguments, but what Chen Jian never expected was that his polite words were answered unexpectedly.

"It is Katarina's greatest honor to be invited by His Majesty to go to the battlefield with His Majesty"

Without thinking about it, Katarina replied.

Jian Chen was stunned.

Katarina's personal guard was stunned.

On the other hand, Vikna, who didn't know how to be good, was also stunned.

Everyone in the tent who heard the conversation between the two was stunned.

"Isn't it?"

Secretly slandering such a sentence, Chen Jian couldn't help but wonder if his ears had heard it wrong.

"Your Highness, how can this be?"

Several female pirates standing behind Katarina were in a hurry, and hurriedly spoke out to dissuade them, but they were reprimanded by Katarina, so they could only shut up helplessly.

"Your Majesty has made an invitation now, naturally there are ways to protect my safety, what do you have to worry about? I don't know anything about etiquette."

Then Katarina looked at Jian Chen with a smile.

"Your Majesty, my side can leave at any time, and I look forward to seeing you on the battlefield."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, Jian Chen couldn't help but feel weird, he really couldn't figure out why this woman wanted to go to the dangerous place with him.

In fact, even Katarina herself couldn't understand why she had to make such a risky decision, which was really not in line with her usual style of acting, she only knew that she really wanted to go with Jian Chen.

However, although the authorities were fascinated, the onlookers were very sober, and several female pirates who had long noticed that their princess seemed to have unusual feelings for Chen Jian all sighed secretly, and Vikna also knew it.

It's just that Vikna doesn't know what to say about this situation, and now is not the time for her to worry about this, because at this time, Chen Jian saw that Katarina had made up her mind, and she didn't persuade her more, waved her hand, and made a gesture of invitation to Catarina, and then strode out of the tent first.

Vikna had no choice but to follow.

"Your Majesty goes to the Imperial Guard to protect Your Majesty"
