Chapter 13 - First Triumph and Doubt
After chatting with Kate for a while, Lu Ming handed Kate over to Miral and Raman Rath to discipline, and he came to the conference room to watch the battle on Tourres's side with the commanders of various armies. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As soon as he entered the room and sat in his room, Lu Ming saw Lothric and Edsol also walk in.
"How? Did you ask anything? After Lothric sat down next to him, Lu Ming asked him.
"No, that guy's mouth is very hard, and he won't say anything about torture." Lo Slick shook his head slightly, and then asked Lu Ming rhetorically, "What about you?" Did you get anything out of the mouth of the elf? ā
"Huh!" Lu Ming smiled, then shook his head and said, "She didn't say anything except a name." The verbal curse in her is too powerful for even me to unravel. ā
"Why, we should get a pastor?" At this time, Edsall, who was on the side, couldn't help but propose.
"If you want to die, just say it. Don't drag a few of us into the water! Lothric glared at Edthor angrily, then looked at the magic device and stopped talking.
And Lu Ming explained to him: "If you let a priest participate in the interrogation, then the Church of Light will most likely think that you are insulting them, and the final result will be that you will be beaten to death by the people of the Church of Light!" ā
"......" Hearing Lu Ming's explanation, Edsor was instantly stunned, after all, he didn't have any good relationship with the Church of Light, and once the people in the church knew about it, he would die!
After Edthor realized his mistake, Lu Ming and Lothric began to look intently at the scene in the magic device.
The image on the magic device was taken by the elemental birds summoned by the magicians of Yugsotus with a special device, so Lu Ming and the others could only look at it roughly, and there was no sound. However, such a thing was already an artifact in wartime. After all, there are several such devices in the fortress now, monitoring the movements of the elven army and the possible attack on several places on this side of the Mordred fortress, lest the Duchy of Erepos lose to one of the three large armies of the Alpha Empire attacking the kingdom of Mirakesa.
Excitingly, Turess led Deucalion easily defeated the 5,000 light cavalry of the Alpha Empire. Although the battle was forced back by the 10,000 heavy cavalry that followed suit, this was the first victory since the armies of Erebos and Alpha began to fight. And the previous time, it was just a lose-lose situation.
Seeing that Touris led the heavy cavalry of Diocalion in the magic device, easily tore through the formation of the elven light cavalry, killed most of them, and then evacuated there without any damage and returned smoothly, Lu Ming and the others couldn't help cheering.
Compared to being pressed and beaten by the elves in a small city, there is no way to repel other people's armies, this small victory is very inspiring! Moreover, this also proves to the commanders of ordinary armies who are not elite armies that the elves are not invincible, they also have flesh and blood, living lives, and the sword in their hands can easily take their lives, protect their families, land, and glory!
After making sure that Toures and her Diocalion cavalry were safely returned, and that the heavy cavalry of the angry elves were lured to run towards the Mordred Fortress, Lu Ming and Lothric glanced at each other, and then without hesitation, they began to command the several commanders present, asking them to prepare for battle with their own troops.
Of course, Lu Ming and Raman Lace's Yugsotus will also face each other.
Walking towards the gate of the fortress step by step, Lu Ming commanded his knights to call Raman Rasi and asked another knight to mobilize the army.
In a few moments, Raman Lass came to the gate with the knight.
It's just that Raman is a little angry, and it seems that he is angry with Lu Ming about Kate's affairs. However, after getting on the horse and holding the reins, all the anger disappeared. After all, at this moment, they are on the battlefield and cannot act rashly.
But a bickering of words is inevitable.
Between the two of them, where others couldn't hear it, Lu Ming and Raman Lace whispered, but Raman Lace's words were a little unkind.
"If you want her, aren't you afraid of being hacked to death by Sham and Lily? That female elf is a problem for the territory, and the Grand Duke and the royal family will be suspicious of you! So you should listen to me and Miral, and give her to an officer casually! ā
"Why? Why should I give away the loot I caught myself? Besides, she doesn't threaten you, she's just a servant of an elf. ā
"I don't care so much, you have to listen to me! Otherwise, you're dead! ā
"......" looked at Raman who was angry with him for the first time, Lu Ming was slightly silent, and then said: "I have my own considerations in this matter, you don't have to worry about anything." She won't hurt us. ā
"However, she will threaten my children!" However, Raman Rath said angrily.
"Wait a minute, are you worried that she and I might have a child, and then threaten the status of me and your children? Are you doubting that I will favor one over the other? ā
"You may not favor one over the other, but Lisa said that in the future, you will have two elven wives, one is Chimera, and the other should be the female elf you captured. The two of them and the two sons born to you took away the Odysseus Collar and drove me and my children out of the Odysseus Collar! ā
"But both of them are also the only ones who want revenge on Eldridge for me, and the others either choose to leave or submit to Eldridge's rule!" Hearing Raman Lasi's words, Lu Ming said angrily.
ā......āā......ā
As soon as Lu Ming's words came out, the two of them fell into a long silence. It wasn't until he could already see the smoke and dust of the running war horse of Diacalion that Lu Ming was the first to speak: "Raman Lasi, you should believe me, I won't let the children suffer!" They are your children and my children! ā
After speaking, Lu Ming led the knights to rush to the room where Diocalion came, preparing to fight those elven chasers by surprise with Diocalion!
Looking at Lu Ming's back, Raman Rasi gritted his teeth, and then followed closely.
As the distance got closer and closer, Lu Ming, Raman Lath, and the soldiers of Yugsotus all took out their talismans, and the moment they passed by Diocalion, under the leadership of Raman Lath, they threw a large rain of thunder and spears, knocking down a piece of the elven cavalry that was chasing after Diocalion from their horses.
At the same time, the rest of Erepos' armies also began to attack the elven cavalry. However, they don't know any miracles or magic, so they can only attack elven soldiers with bows and flintlock pistols.
In the face of such a counterattack, the elven army was suddenly plunged into a riot, and could only engage ordinary troops for a moment or two, and there was no way to fight the soldiers of Yugosotus who had experienced the most terrible things.
The bombardment of thunder spears, the slashing of blades, and the miraculous dodging skills are all the strengths of the soldiers of Yugsotus.
The elven race, which had always had a contemptuous attitude towards the troops of humans and beast-eared tribes in the past, encountered such a powerful army mixed with humans and beast-eared tribes, and they were suddenly blindsided, and they didn't know how to fight at all!
And when Diocalion, who had been chasing them all the way, suddenly turned around and gave them a return shot, they were even more unable to fight back against Diocalion and Yugsotus.
After almost ten minutes of fighting, the commander of this cavalry regiment of the elven clan, seeing that his side had suffered heavy losses, had to choose to order a retreat.
Seeing the signal from their commander's side, all the mid- and lower-level officers of the elves were shouting in the elves' own language: "Retreat! Fall back! Everyone retreats~!! ā
Soon, almost all the elven soldiers who had not been captured or slashed by the army of the Principality of Errepos ran away, and as for those elves who were captured by the soldiers under the command of Lu Ming and others, they simply didn't care. Don't say save, even a look, they don't!
Seeing that the elven soldiers had fled, many commanders of ordinary armies came to the side of Raman Rath and Tourres, and admonished them to pursue the elven soldiers.
"What do you think?" But Touris didn't speak, and Raman Lass looked at her husband, Lu Ming.
In this regard, Lu Ming gave his own answer without thinking about it.
"Don't chase after the poor."
Hearing Lu Ming's answer, many commanders couldn't help but be a little unhappy, but no one dared to question Lu Ming's decision, after all, although Lu Ming didn't know how to fight, he was good at calculation. Now the number of troops of the Duchy of Erepos on the side of the fortress of Mordred is 70,000, and the number of soldiers of the army of the Elves who have split from the large army to attack the Duchy of Erepolis is about 200,000.
So with the ambush of others, it is better to go back like this!
Everyone understands this, so everyone is ready to go back.
However, there were a few well-wishers who happened to hear the unpleasant conversation between Lu Ming and Raman Lace when they came out, and wanted to see what would happen to Lu Ming and Raman Lace next. Is one party disagreeing with one party's idea, and then the two say goodbye, or is one party going back to the fortress, and the other party insisting on chasing the elven troops, and finally the two people have a big fight......
"Oh, good."
But what those people didn't expect was that Raman Lass actually agreed with Lu Ming's idea of going back with a smile, and didn't quarrel with him, and even on the way back to the fortress, he still acted like a young couple who were you and me, not at all like they had just quarreled. I don't know if they were lying to people before, or if they are lying now. It's just that these have nothing to do with them, they just watch the fun.
-----------------------------------
"What!? You've been ambushed by the Mirakesa, and you've even been defeated by monkeys and beasts!? After hearing that his subordinates had lost to the army of Lu Ming and others, General Monska of the Elven Clan was immediately furious, and couldn't help glaring at his three staff officers viciously, and said angrily: "Not only did the three of you not chase Her Royal Highness the princess back, but also let so many soldiers die at the hands of those monkeys and beasts, it's really waste!" ā
Hearing General Monska's roar, the three staff officers couldn't help but be very aggrieved, and one of them also said: "General, when the three of us went to find Her Royal Highness the Princess, the troops of Erepos wanted to take the soldiers to use mobility to bypass the enemy army, but a few of the five thousand light cavalry jumped out, and the elves were invincible and rushed towards the troops of the principality of Erebos, which were more than twice as many as us, and the three of us shouted for daytime, and the soldiers ignored us. ā
Immediately afterwards, another staff officer said: "And the commander of the 10,000 heavy cavalry you sent to support us, after seeing the retreat of the army of Erebos, did not listen to us at all, did not believe that the army of the Duchy of Erebos was pretending to be invincible, leading us to a trap, and forcibly tied the three of us with ropes, and took us with them to chase the army of the Duchy of Erebos, only to encounter an ambush by the other troops of Erebos, and was defeated by the damned Miracaizas. ā
Hearing this, Monska couldn't help frowning, because he hated people who made excuses the most. Whether what the man said was true or not......
However, because of the fact that the Forest Arrow forcibly consumed its own soldiers in the first place, if those middle and low-level officers and some adjutant generals were really secluded people, it was still very possible to do this kind of thing to consume the soldiers of the loyal emperor faction!
Moreover, he also understands that his staff officers are some cautious elves, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a soldier to fight to the death with the enemy! And what happened today is also very suspicious.
First, Her Royal Highness the Princess inexplicably took Captain Wingliser to Mordred, the fortress of the Duchy of Erepos, and then the two armies she sent to find them both, but they did not listen to the orders of their staff, and fought to the death with the troops of the Duchy of Erebos on their own, until the officers who resisted the staff officers were killed.
No matter how you look at these things, they are a bit strange.
First, Her Royal Highness has no friends in the enemy country of Mirakesa, and has left the army, and once she encounters the enemy army, her tragic fate can already be seen.
Second, the officers under his command did not obey orders and led the army to fight the enemy to the death without authorization, which is unlikely to happen if there is no one in the middle.
In other words, if it weren't for the conspiracy of the nobles, who was regarded as a savior by the nobles and a poisonous snake by the royal family, none of this might have happened!
It's a pity that even if he knows this, General Monska can't prevent these things from happening again, because Yu Yu is the savior of the nobles, and he is just a nobleman. Although he doesn't like the gloom very much, and he also hates the nobles who fall into the gloom, he is already loyal enough to the empress and princess, and there is no need to pay for a princess who is sure to die and an empress who doesn't know if he can successfully defeat the gloom!
