Chapter 602: Hope in Despair
Chapter 602: Hope in Despair
Hart didn't realize that a tragedy was going to happen to him, and the Death Knight was roaring and organizing people to surround and intercept the enemies who jumped out of his encirclement day and night.
Of course, Hart was annoyed, he never thought that Mlak would be able to use such a trick to break the trap he had set, but anger was anger, and Hart clearly knew that this battle, from a strategic level, was still won by himself.
The Emperor's supply lines have been cut off by the undead army, and now, most of the eastern part of the Tetalia Marsh is under the control of the undead army, and the Emperor's previous gains have been ruined, they have lost a lot of supplies, and they have suffered heavy casualties, and it is not so easy to regroup and make a comeback.
And although Mrak's expeditionary force jumped out of the encirclement, it did not mean that there was no danger, this expeditionary force did not have enough supplies, and the long march and breakthrough battles, coupled with the undead army never stopped harassing the battle, so the soldiers of the expeditionary force were already hungry and tired, and their morale was low to the bottom, and after entering the Titalia region, the combat effectiveness of this imperial army has never been as weak as it is now.
So of course, Hart will not miss such a good opportunity to beat the water dogs.
Even if this emperor cannot be completely annihilated as originally planned, if it continues to be pursued all the way, this emperor will inevitably suffer heavy losses from broken bones and bones.
The bloody corpses of the Emperor soldiers, chopped down by the undead creatures, will extend from here all the way to the border through this large-scale hunt, showing everyone for a long time the serious consequences of daring to go against the undead army.
This will still be the greatest victory in Hart's life, he successfully defeated the elite army of the strongest country on the mainland, and made the famous imperial army suffer the worst defeat since the last war, the famous imperial general Mrak fled in front of him, what countless generals of the major forces have always wanted to do but have not done, he has successfully done it, what glory is this?
It's just that this glory didn't last long on Hart, and the defeat after the big victory made him completely in this melee in the swamp, and it became a helpless tragedy.
The Bracada army finally moved, and the magicians' general, Trosa, the big yellow finch from Bracada, began to prey on his prey, and he gave Hart a heavy blow with lightning speed.
In the northwest of the Titalia region, Trossa commanded the army of Bracada, taking advantage of the great opportunity of most of the undead army gathering in the east, divided the army into three routes, and in one day and one night, successively captured five castles that were originally controlled by the undead army, but now the defense is seriously insufficient, cutting off the land communication between Hart's undead army in the swamp and Dia proper, and when the frightened Hart came to his senses, gave up the pursuit of the emperor, and hurriedly led the main army to use the magic teleportation array to rush back to the northwest, Trossa had already put up a heavy army in these five castles, and it was already very difficult for Hart to retake these castles and reopen land communication with Diya.
The news spread, and the continent shook again.
On the continent of Erathia, although the kingdom of the mages of Bracada is powerful, it has always given people the impression that it is the type of person who does not offend me, and I do not offend people.
Except for the war with the sworn enemy Krurod barbarians, the magicians rarely take the initiative to provoke foreign wars, or it can be said that they do not at all, although the army of this kingdom will appear in large battles from time to time, but basically, they are passive in the war.
And the ruler of the kingdom of the mages of Bracada, Magnus, the Immortal King, has always given the appearance of Mr. Yes, at least in the eyes of those who do not know, this Immortal King has a neutral attitude many times, except for the Krurod and necromancers.
So when the news of the appearance of Bracada's army in the Tetalia swamp broke, many people were surprised.
Kendal, the regent of the Erathia Empire, was also very surprised by the actions of the Bracada army, but the reason why he had this idea was not that he thought that the Bracada Mage Kingdom was a peace-loving country, and the immortal king Magnus was a good old man who didn't like to fight, as an old and qualified imperial minister, Kendal was well aware of the ambitions of the Bracada Kingdom and Magnus hidden beneath the surface, and he also knew that the reason why the empire chose to ally with the Bracada Kingdom back then, It was because the empire did not want to be an enemy of the kingdom of Bracada.
What Kendall was really shocked by was the hidden true strength of the Bracada Kingdom, the front line of the Bracada army was fighting with the Krurod people, and the sea had just suffered a crushing defeat, and there was even a spare force to divide the troops of Titalia, and the intelligence from the border also showed that the Bracada army had increased its troops at the border between its own country and the empire.
What does all this mean? Kendall couldn't think of it without being shocked.
What made Kendall even more annoyed was that before he could ask Magnus what it meant for the other party to launch a military operation against Tytaria after succeeding the emperor, Magnus first sent him a letter, saying that his military operation in the Tytalia region was to help the besieged emperor, and secondly, to complete the previous agreement of the three kingdoms of the Holy Alliance to help the elven kingdom prepare for the recapture of the Diya region from the necromancer. But for a while, there was no reason to refute it, because because due to the actions of the Bracada army, the Empire's expeditionary force in the Tetalia region did benefit.
At the same time, Magnus also said in the letter that as a member of the Holy Alliance, the Bracada Mage Kingdom will work hard to help the Emperor defeat the necromancer in the Tytalia region, and even proposed that in the future, after the situation in the Tytalia region is stable, he can send troops from the Tytalia region to assist the Emperor's military operations against the Hammondale region, and help the Elven Kingdom deal with the Farouk army, etc., in short, Magnus behaves like a good person who does his best for his allies.
Kendall, who was already angry because of the war, found that he was so overshadowed by his allies, he was furious, and he lost his temper again and slapped the table, but after calming down, he didn't want to turn his face with the magicians for the time being, but he still had to pinch his nose and write to Magnus, saying that he was grateful to the Bracada Army for their help to the Imperial Expeditionary Force, but he also said that the emperor had the ability to deal with everything by himself, including recovering the Empire's former territory of Titalia, and he hoped that the Bracada Army could withdraw from Tytalia, In order not to suffer unnecessary losses in the battle with the necromancer, he would be uneasy, and said that Hammondal's affairs did not have to worry about Bracada's side, and questioned the increase of troops on the border of the Bracada Kingdom.
"This kind of action is likely to lead to some unnecessary misunderstandings, and I am worried that it will have some very serious and bad consequences."
In the letter, Kendall wrote.
After that, frequent exchanges of letters and verbal wars began between the two countries, and the already delicate relationship deteriorated day by day.
And the situation in the Tetalia swamp has also become confusing again with the intervention of the Bracada army, no one knows who this swamp will end up into, and no one knows what kind of earth-shattering events will happen in this land where so many powerful forces are gathered in the next moment.
But in any case, the ultimate victims of the competition for the Tetalya region by the major forces are the inhabitants of the swamps, in this unprecedented melee in the swamps, the Taylians have suffered from the war, the tragedy of family destruction and displacement is staged every moment, the once prosperous big cities are empty, the remote villages are not spared, the fields are no longer cultivated, wild plants replace the crops to thrive in the fields, and all kinds of commercial activities are completely stopped, The caravans walking on the road were nowhere to be seen, some were only armies armed with various blades, and the Titarians could only escape this unprecedented catastrophe by hiding in the depths of the swamps, dense forests, and deep mountains that were difficult for the invaders to reach, and barely survived by wild vegetables and fruits, and those who could not bear all this rose up to join the rebels under different banners, and fought to the death on the battlefield with the enemy's well-equipped soldiers with primitive weapons. There is definitely a tragic battle with more losses and fewer wins.
There are no words to describe all the suffering of the Titarians in this man-made disaster, people desperately hope that the war will end, at the beginning, people put their hopes on those rebels, but with the defeat of one rebel after another, the number of invaders is increasing, people begin to lose faith in the rebels, but they do not know what else they can expect except the Tytarians themselves, they are increasingly confused and overwhelmed.
Some people remembered the barbarian hero who appeared and helped the Tethalians build a country, and there were also rumors that this barbarian hero appeared again, but not many people want to believe such words, hundreds of years have passed, how can the barbarian hero who once helped the Tethalians still be alive? What's more, according to legend, the barbarian died in the battle that year, and to this day, in various parts of the swamp, you can still see those totem poles in the middle of nowhere to commemorate this hero
At this time, a poem that had been circulating in the local area for about half a year and had been unnoticed by people spread again, and the beautiful descriptions and prophecies about the ideal country and the savior in the poem began to make many people yearn for it in despair.
However, is there really a savior in this world? In this world, does an ideal country really exist?
No one knows.
But it is precisely because I don't know, because I can't verify it, that it is easy for people to keep the last hope, and it is easy to become people's spiritual sustenance.
Then, an army unlike any other, in this most difficult moment, appeared in the sight of the Tytarians.
