Chapter 20 - Variables

"Now that the magic cannon on the fortress of Mordred has been overloaded with six runes, it is indeed possible to break through the first wall of the fortress if we attack the fortress with all our strength now. Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info but! We don't have many Cursed Souls left, and if we force ourselves to attack the city under the fire of magic cannons, we will probably lose both the battle with the Mirakesars, and finally we will not be able to continue to break into the interior of the Duchy of Erepos! ”

"The opportunity on the battlefield is fleeting, we must seize this opportunity, take advantage of this opportunity, otherwise when their magic cannon recovers, we will have to pay an unknown number of casualties if we want to capture Fort Mordred!"

"But such a strong attack will not help us in any way!"

"I don't think so! After all, time is of the essence on the battlefield, and once the capture of the fortress is delayed, it is likely that the armies of the other principalities of Miracaisa will arrive here to support the defenders in the fortress. At that time, all our efforts will be in vain! ”

Sitting at the makeshift command post on the front line, Duchess Taftière watched coldly, where Medivin Arms and Rickart Wendersland were arguing. However, none of their goals were to capture the fortress of Mordred, and the reason why they quarreled was only to give the Duchess of Taftière a false impression that she was very loyal, so that her plan could succeed.

Of course, this point has already been broken by Hyaldton, so no matter how much they jump, Tafertier will not trust the two of them. Otherwise, they may not know the time, and they were fed to Eldridge by the two of them.

After hearing that the two of them were arguing there for a long time, gradually Tafertiel got a little bored, and immediately slapped the table and said, "You two are enough!" I want the allegiance of the two of you to do things for me, not for the two of you to quarrel here! ”

In an instant, Lycutt and Medivan fell silent, and stood respectfully to the side, as if the person who had just quarreled was not the two of them.

Seeing this, the Duchess of Taftière couldn't help but be a little angry, pointed at the two of them, and said angrily: "Now, you two will give me to take your troops to assist the troops of Cus Medigadis, and attack the fortress of Mordred!" ”

"Yes, Lord Duke!" "Yes, Lord Duke!"

As soon as they heard Tafertiel's order, the two Lichards bowed very obediently, and then left there quickly, taking the rest of their troops and the Cursed Ones with them to attack the fortress of Mordred with the army brought by Tafertiel.

It's just that when they left here, the two monsters who were neither human nor ghostly cursed showed a sarcastic smile. It was clear that they were very dismissive of Taftiel, the Duchess of the Elven Race. I also disagree with the series of commands she made.

However, if they make a show and help the elves, they will still do it, after all, their purpose is not to defeat the elves.

The gloomy hope is that the Elves will take the kingdom of Mirakaisa at the cost of heavy casualties, so that Eldridge can capture both kingdoms by eating the Elven Empress. After all, if Eldridge wants to survive the deep sea age of his dreams, he needs one thing that only the kingdom of Mirakaisa has!

Therefore, Mira Kaisa must be captured by the elves, otherwise after the civil strife, if Eldridge wants to use the elven army to attack Mira Kaisa, it will be completely impossible.

In other words, the Elves need the Elves to capture Mirakaisa, but under this premise, they like to consume as much of the Elven army as possible, so that they can seize the control of the Elven royal family over the Alpha Empire in the future!

Of course, Lycart, Medivan and others are not really secluded cultists, they are all opportunistic elements, and the reason why they joined the secluded church is to fulfill some of their ulterior ambitions.

For this reason, the two of them, after taking their own troops and the elven troops who were besieging the city to start an attack on Mordred, secretly came behind the two field commanders of the elven army, that is, the adjutants of Highardton and Taftiel.

Looking at the lieutenants of Hyraldon and Taftiel, who were commanding the army and letting them erect the ladder and storm the first layer of the walls of the Mordred Fortress under the bombardment of the magic cannons of the Miracaisers, Lycart and Medivan each sneaked up to a short distance from them, and then, under the cover of the sound of magic cannon fire, they inserted the dagger into the bodies of the two Hyalddons, and after killing several officers in the vicinity, they used the disguise masks that had been prepared long ago, Transformed himself into the form of an adjutant to Highardton and Tafertier.

But when they burned the two corpses with special powder, they were surprised to find that the two elves they killed were not Hyalddon and the adjutant himself, but two stand-ins!

This made the two of them startled, and they couldn't help but immediately hand over the command of the troops to the elven officers who didn't know what was happening, and they themselves began to look for the real bodies of the two elves in the army, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble because of the sudden appearance of the two of them.

However, in the end, Likat did not know the trace of Tafertiel's adjutant, and couldn't help but look at the elven soldiers who were besieging the city on the edge of the battlefield, and said to himself with some doubts: "Where did the female elf go?" Could it be that she's already found out about my impostor and reported it to Tarfertière? ”

Thinking of this, Lickat felt that it was really possible that Tafertier's lieutenant had already found out what he had done, and had already returned to the command post to report to Tafertiel.

"In that case, then Lord Duke, you can't blame me!" The thought of the possibility of dying at the hands of Taftiel made Lichardt terrified, and when the fear reached a certain level, he had a bad thought in his heart!

Standing in place and gritting his teeth, Lickat rode his horse and hurried towards the command post without saying a word.

At the same time, Medivin Arms made the same decision and began to rush towards the command post.

-----------------------------------

Lu Ming and the others, who were constantly fighting with the elven army, suddenly found that the elven offensive had become a little chaotic when the sunset was about to completely sink into the horizon.

Suddenly, Touris and Raman Lath knew that there was a problem with the command staff of the elves, and the officers at the bottom did not have a unified order, so they could only rely on their own command and lead the soldiers under their command to continue the siege.

At this moment, the order of their siege can only be maintained by the tacit understanding of the low-level officers, and once there is a problem, it will cause a large area to fall into chaos, resulting in the inability of this area to continue the siege for a long time.

In this way, after Touris cut down the city wall of the two elven soldiers, he shouted to Lu Ming and the others: "The commander of the elven clan has an accident!" Now is a good opportunity for us to counterattack! ”

And after Lu Ming and Loslick heard Tourres's shout, they immediately replied: "That's right! Now it's time for us to fight back! ”

"Let's knock these elves back first, and then we can attack their headquarters!"

As soon as he heard this, Edsor and other commanders who had been very depressed by this aggrieved battle situation immediately became excited, roared loudly, and together with the soldiers under their command, they threw down the city wall one after another with fewer and fewer elven soldiers who could attack the city wall, and gradually restored the safety on the city wall.

However, what made Edsol and the others depressed was that even though the elven soldiers knew that it would be impossible for them to capture Mordred Fortress without unified command, they were still desperately climbing the ladder and attacking like crazy, without any signs of retreating.

Because of the madness of the elven soldiers, soon the puppet soldiers of Miral Henes were overwhelmed and collapsed after several hours of fierce battles with the elven soldiers, turning into a large pile of dragon scale powder and fine iron sand, which made the two of them feel distressed for a while.

But at this time, Lu Ming suddenly said to Raman Lass: "Raman Rath, let those two holy women come out and treat us with a miracle!" ”

Hearing this, Raman Rath immediately used the power of the contract to summon two holy women with two-tailed bodies and tentacle monsters with heads similar to octopuses from her shadows.

Many of the soldiers were startled at the sight of the two of them, but because they were from their own side, none of them attacked them.

"Two holy women, please treat us." Ramanrath gave the wounds on his four arms to the little tentacles of the saint and said.

"Good!" It was found that there were many, many soldiers on the city wall who were injured to varying degrees like Raman Lass, and the two holy women who had been transformed by the white dragon Hiss immediately used the sun to moisturize and heal the sun, and treated Raman Rath and the others and the soldiers.

Under the glow of the miracle as warm as the sun, the injuries of all the people in this area were healed, and the wounds healed quickly under the light, and even the physical strength was recovering little by little, which surprised many people.

After all, none of them thought that those two weird-looking things would be able to perform such a powerful miracle.

However, in the eyes of Touris and others, this does not seem to be so unreasonable, no matter what people say, they are all saints!

"These two don't seem to be like this, huh?" Frowning at the two serpentine saints who were on their way to other areas of the city wall to treat the soldiers, Losric asked with some confusion.

"They were originally human, but they were transformed into this way by the White Dragon Heath." Lu Ming glanced at the wound on his arm that healed quickly under the miraculous healing, and then explained it to Lothric.

"White Dragon Heath? That's a familiar name! ”

"Doesn't that sound familiar? What your father researched is what White Dragon Hiss researched back then! ”

"What!?" Upon hearing this, Lo Slick was taken aback, and couldn't help but look at Lu Ming in disbelief.

But before he could ask anything, he heard a sudden shout from the elven soldiers under the city walls.

Because the elven soldiers spoke their own language, most of them couldn't understand what the elven soldiers were yelling about, but Lu Ming and Lothric could understand what they were yelling about.

After listening carefully to the words shouted by those elven saintesses, Lu Ming and Lothric glanced at each other, and shouted loudly to their commanders: "Everyone is ready to leave the city, there is a civil war within the elf army!" ”

As soon as they heard this, Edsol and the others immediately came to their senses, and began to ask the guards to get the logistics personnel to prepare the war horses.

At this time, the soldiers of the elven clan gradually began to show signs of defeat, and there was a civil war in the rear, and it was impossible to continue attacking the Mordred fortress, so they were just sending them to death if they fought like this. Now these elven soldiers have only one idea, and that is to rescue the Duchess of Taftiel and suppress the rebellion. When everything is settled, continue the assault on Fort Mordred.

However, Lu Ming and the others did not intend to give the elven army this opportunity, after the elven army began to retreat, they did not hesitate to open the city gate and sent a heavy cavalry team, with a total of 30,000 people, to cover up and kill the remnants of the elven clan's defeated army.

Suddenly, the elven soldiers, who had no intention of continuing to fight because of problems in the rear, were charged by these heavy cavalry, and their morale was scattered in an instant, and they fled in all directions, and there was no way to launch a counterattack against the heavy cavalry of the Principality of Erebos.

Lu Ming and others, who followed the heavy cavalry corps out of the city gate, saw this scene, and immediately led the remaining cavalry, and also killed the defeated soldiers of the elf clan, slaughtering nearly 20,000 of these tens of thousands of elves at once, and capturing more than 10,000 elves.

Then, Lu Ming and the others left 20,000 soldiers to stay in Mordred Fortress, and the other soldiers were all taken away by them to surprise the elves who were in the midst of the civil war!

Soon, they reached the temporary headquarters of the elves and saw the elven army still fighting.

According to the information obtained by the spies, the reason why there was a civil war among the elves was because the commander-in-chief of the elven army, Duchess Tafertiel Kasranka, and her husband, the commander of the auxiliary front command, Heraldton Bilal, had a conflict, which led to Hyalddon Bilal killing Duchess Taftiel's double!

Although I don't know if it's true, the spies still told Lu Ming and the others a suspicious point.

"For some reason, Helarton Bilal, who is now in a civil war with Taftiel Kasranka, is not the same as before. Whether it is the front-line commander or the attitude towards the dark forces, it has become completely different, as if it has been replaced! ”

Hearing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but think of the incident he encountered before going to the imperial capital last year.

"Rickard Wendersland?"
