Chapter 80 - The Invisible Shadow
As time passed, the main armies of the three principalities, Erepos, Tartarus, and Styx, began to plan their battle against Yaru, marching from three directions, towards the capital of Yaru. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 No matter which army of the Principality of Yalu is encountered on the way, it will always hit them to the surrender position.
This oppressive force made the people of the Principality of Yalu feel unimaginable fear, and they couldn't help but migrate from the outer villages and towns to the capitals of the various counties from the outside to the inside, or simply to the capitals of the Principality of Yalu, in order to seek the protection of the armies of the counties and the strongest army in the hands of the Grand Duke, the 'Pan Field Legion'.
Contrary to the thoughts of these people, the puppet Grand Duke who was propped up by the Evil Spirit Church and the illegitimate son of the previous Grand Duke of Yalu, Edsotuf Hakz, knew that Yalu's main army could no longer protect himself and the people. Now he desperately wants to escape from the capital, lest he be swallowed up by the flames along with the city under the combined attack of the three principalities.
It's a pity that the people of the Evil Spirit Church are watching him and his brothers and sisters all the time, so that neither he nor they can escape from this city that is destined to be destroyed!
Sitting in the huge mansion of his own nominal Grand Duke's mansion, but in fact a prison, the Grand Duke of Hakz learned for the first time the helplessness and bitterness of his father's reign.
The army was corrupted by the evil church, the nobles were controlled, and only a few were loyal, but they could not do anything to change it, but they could only secretly send their heirs out of Yalu before the villains staged a coup d'état, so that they could live incognito. It wasn't until the Evil Spirit Church jumped out, caused public outrage, and was exterminated by the other principalities that it was able to return to the dilapidated Yalu and lead the people to rebuild the principality......
Just as Archduke Hakz was thinking about how he would die and how he would be insulted by the historians, several people from the Cult of Evil Spirits suddenly pushed open the door and entered the room.
Looking at these villains with fierce eyes, Grand Duke Hakz laughed, laughing at his mistake for nostalgia for the beauty of the capital, and did not flee from here earlier and go to Styx......
"Are you here to end my life?" If death was inevitable, then Archduke Hakz chose to accept it gladly. So he smiled and asked the villains.
"No, no, no, Grand Duke, you can't die right now. After all, Pan's general was the only one in Yaru who could lead the army and Deucarion of Erepos, Persephone of Tartarus, and Nyarlathotep of Styx. If you die, you, who can compete with the main armies of the three principalities, will not hesitate to defect. That's terrible for us in the Church of Demons! One of the cultists of the Evil Spirit Church said with a wicked smile.
Immediately afterward, another cultist added, "If you want to choose suicide or rebellion, think of your brothers and sisters!" They are life or death, but in your thoughts! ”
Looking at the cultists who were dying, but still dreaming, Grand Duke Hakz suddenly asked, "I don't understand why things should have turned out like this, but you still don't plan to give up. What do you, who are enemies of the three principalities, rely on to keep you from fearing defeat? ”
"Hahahahaha~!!" When the cultists heard Archduke Haqz's question, they burst out laughing, as if they had heard the funniest thing!
Just when Archduke Hakz was puzzled by these madmen, one of them suddenly said: "We don't know if this action can change the world. But as long as you can change Yalu and make Yaru fall into pain and suffering, it is enough! ”
"You lunatics!"
"That's right, we're crazy. But now, aren't you, a normal person, in the hands of us lunatics? The leader of the Evil Spirit Church laughed and said to Archduke Hakz.
Then, he took out a document from his clothes, slammed it on the table, and said viciously: "Now, our normal people hurry up and sign it, and let our evil spirit church become the only church that can be believed in in the Principality of Yalu!" ”
Seeing the man's fierce eyes, Grand Duke Hakz thought about his sister who was only a few years old, and finally signed helplessly.
As soon as he had finished writing the last word, the Cult of Demons snatched the document and left the room with the rest of the Cult of Demons with them, locking the door so that Archduke Hakz would not escape.
"Father, do you say that it is right or wrong to exchange Yalu's pain for a new life?" When he was once again the only one left in the room, Grand Duke Hakz looked at the empty room and muttered to himself.
Suddenly, a sharp sword stabbed out from behind the chair he was sitting on, piercing all of him.
A mouthful of blood erupted from his mouth, and Grand Duke Hakz lowered his head, looking at the sword body stabbed out of his chest, revealing a look of relief and worry, and finally as the sword pulled out of his body, he collapsed on the desk, slowly losing his life.
-----------------------------------
On the border of a county in Yaru, the cavalry regiment of Touris is confronting the army of the county.
Like most of the army's encounter with a pure cavalry regiment like Diocalion, which was mostly heavy cavalry and light cavalry, the Earl's army was only frightened by the pressure at the sight of the knights of Diocalion.
Looking at the banner painted with a fire-breathing black dragon with four horns on the side of Deucalion, the lord of the county, an earl who had joined the Church of the Evil Spirits, began to wonder for the first time whether it was right for him to choose to join the Church of the Evil Spirits and assassinate the previous Grand Duke.
But at this moment, there is no point in thinking about it. In such a confrontation between the two armies, there is only one way left to be charged except to charge.
After all, along the way, I don't know how many people from the Evil Spirit Church have been slaughtered. Moreover, they are all creatures who feed them to the world of shadows or other elemental creatures, so that their souls are forever enslaved by the goddesses of the shadow world or the gods of other elemental creatures.
So it was useless to surrender, and the Diocalion cavalry regiment never accepted surrender.
Helplessly, the earl could only grit his teeth, raise his weapon aloft, and shout at his army, which was mostly from the Evil Spirit Church: "Charge!!" ”
This is woodland, and the cavalry can't charge well, so it's important to get ahead of the curve. As long as the infantry with the spear can be killed in front of the cavalry, then the cavalry that can't charge is far less useful than the infantry!
Unfortunately, Deucalion was no ordinary cavalry regiment, it was the most elite army in Erebos. Both horses and armor are the best, and even the weapons are the best weapons that the Hunters have ever built. One of the long swords named 'Ilusil Cold Wind' was a sword made by the Beast Ear Blacksmith of the (Hunter) Organization, using the remnant of Lu Ming's previous Ilusil straight sword, plus a pair of Blue Flame Swords and one hundred and eight dragon scales. It can tear through the last of Puru's armor with a single blow effortlessly, and like Priscilla's short sword, it can inflict a powerful chill on the user's sword slash!
Now this sword was given to Touris Hedist by Lu Ming. Because of this sword, he is not used to it. Others don't need such a sword either.
Holding the cold sword, Touris looked coldly at those fools who dared to charge his cavalry regiment of 15,000 men without knowing whether they were alive or dead, and only 5,000 infantry, and ordered his adjutant Haimir: "Let Cocodora use the rock block, and let the Yongjira use spiritual power!" ”
Immediately, Haimir gave this order, and in an instant a huge row of rocks was created by the Cocodoras, and smashed into the army of the Yaru side from mid-air, killing countless soldiers of the Duchy of Yaru. The boulders also formed a high wall separating Yaru's army from front to back. So that the soldiers in front cannot retreat, and the soldiers behind cannot continue to attack.
Then, just behind the boulder wall, the soldiers of the Duchy of Yalu heard the screams of the soldiers in front of the boulder wall and the sound of their bones being squeezed and broken by something. I didn't know what was going on for a while, and I was shrouded in fear.
However, in the next moment, the boulder wall suddenly shattered and collapsed, stirring up a cloud of dust that obscured Yalufang's vision.
Nothing was invited, nothing was seen, which made the Yalu side fall into fear and confusion.
Suddenly, the earth began to shake, and the roar continued.
Looking at the smoke and dust, the Earl of Yarufang couldn't believe that the heavy cavalry of Decalion was still charging at them in this wood, as if they were on flat ground!
"When you meet Diocalion, death in battle is the best ending!" The Count muttered to himself, then took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and joined the battle with his own personal guard.
Whether it is captured or surrendered, the outcome is the same, it is better than a vigorous battle!
As the only cavalry in the army, the Count and his guards soon rushed into the battle, colliding with the knights of Decalion who had burst out of the dust.
In the Diocalion cavalry regiment, 10,000 men were heavy cavalry, while the knights on the Earl's side of Yaru were all light cavalry, and with the Count himself, there were only 400 men.
So just a face, there are not many people left in the earl's personal guard.
And the hapless Count of the Duchy of Yaru also encountered Touris Hedis, who was armed with the sword of Irusil's Chill Wind.
With a single sword, Touris severed the long sword in the earl's hand and ended his life.
The last thing the count saw was a faint blue cold light passing by......
Ten minutes later, the Diocalion cavalry regiment directly routed the Count's army and began to rush towards the Count's capital with its captives.
Of the 5,000 Yaru soldiers, only seventy-two remained after the battle with Diocalion. It can be said that Deucalion, the most elite cavalry regiment in Erepos, is a powerful meat grinder on the battlefield! Not to mention how terrifying Cocodora and Yongjira are after they join Deucalion!
-----------------------------------
With Deucarion taking the lead in conquering one of the three counties of Yaru, the people of the Cult of Evil Spirits in the capital panicked.
Compared to Tartarus and Styx, the Diocalion cavalry regiment of Erepos is definitely the enemy of the Cult of the Evil Spirits. They are absolutely unrelenting to the people of the Evil Spirit Church, and even to the point of chasing after them to the death, and every time they attack villages, towns, and cities, they will inevitably start to slaughter the believers of the Evil Spirit Church. It was as if he wanted to completely kill the power of the Evil Spirit Church in Yalu, which made the people of the Evil Spirit Church terrified.
In desperation, they plan to send Yalu's elite, Pan.
But the problem is that Pan is an army that refuses orders from the Evil Spirit Church. If it weren't for the fact that many of the children of the previous Grand Duke were in the hands of the Evil Spirit Church, maybe Pan would not hesitate to launch an attack on the capital of Yalu.
Therefore, the people of the Evil Spirit Church had no choice but to go to Archduke Hakz once again and ask him to write an order to Pan's general, asking him to take Pan's army to stop Dioculion.
But when they pushed open the door that had not been opened for several days, they saw the cold and stiff corpse of Grand Duke Hakz!
Suddenly, they all fell into fear and panic.
Just when the people of the Evil Spirit Church were panicking, one person suddenly shouted, "Don't panic!" ”
In an instant, the other people of the Evil Spirit Church looked at him. Then I heard him say, "This kid is dead, but don't we still keep his sister?" Wouldn't it be nice to let her succeed to the throne! ”
"That's right!!"
"Ernis, you're still smart enough to keep those stinky girls, unlike others who only know how to torture those stinky boys to death."
Hearing the praise of his companions, Ernis did not become complacent, but said to the people: "Let's hurry up and let that girl write orders, or the madmen of Decalion will be on their way to this city!" ”
Hearing this, those people immediately reacted, and now is not the time to praise each other. Immediately, he walked with Ernis to a small room in the Grand Duke's Mansion. Roughly wake a thin little girl from her sleep, and then force her to write down an order to Pan's general.
Maybe they knew that those people came to write orders for their own brother and died, just like other brothers and sisters. The poor little girl, while writing the order, silently shed tears.
Seeing the little girl's tears falling on the paper, one of those members of the Cult of Evil Spirits flew up and tried to kick the child in the head, but was kicked to the ground by Ernis instead!
"You want to be enslaved by other gods, don't hurt the entire Evil Spirit Church to accompany you!!" Ernis stepped on the demon church man and shouted a loud accusation.
And the person from the evil spirit church who was trampled on the ground by Ernis, after being accused by Ernis, yelled angrily: "Ernis, you have never tortured other people's souls, what right do you have to accuse me!?" ”
Hearing the man's words, Ernis sneered, pulled out his long sword, and stuck it directly into the man's thigh, and said coldly: "Unlike you, a guy who only knows himself, I have to think about this evil spirit church, and I can't indulge myself at will." Also, how do you know that I haven't tormented anyone? ”
Watching his companions scream under Ernis's sword, the rest of the Cult of Evil Spirits were frightened. No one dared to save their companion.
Also, they think Ulness is right, after all, how do you know I haven't tormented anyone? Aren't I torturing you right now? (To be continued.) )
