Section 257, Paladin Ferdin
In the interrogation in the middle of the night, all the more than 3,000 Crusader soldiers surrendered. Dante figured out everything about them.
The vast majority of these soldiers come from poor families. When the undead army attacked the griffon kingdom in a big way, many civilians who did not have time to retreat were besieged in villages and towns, and were quickly killed. Many of them were family members of these Crusaders.
To put it bluntly, the Scarlet Crusaders are nothing more than using their hatred of the undead to attract recruiters. For these soldiers, killing the Necrophoc is the best way for them to get pleasure.
When Herold, Sarnos, and Whitemane were revealed for what they were, the soldiers' worldview collapsed. They may have thought that they were doing a very noble cause, fighting for a bright future for themselves and others, and now they ......
Since they can fight the undead, and the griffin kingdom itself no longer exists, why bother with the so-called way of the paladin? Join the Demon King's Army.
After joining the Demon King's Army, the soldiers were immediately given a full meal and a clean place to rest. They can recover their strength very well.
Dante was not going to use them to fight the Scarlet Crusaders of the Hand of Tyr, but to stay and recuperate, which would be more appropriate to use to fight the undead.
His plan was to defeat the Mograine army on the other side of the Hand of Tyr, and take it if it could, and kill everything that could not. Those who received it merged with these Scarlet Crusaders who had surrendered. In this way, the entire Scarlet Crusader was swallowed by the Demon King Army.
In the small living room on the second floor......
"Master......" said Gade to Dante, holding the magic map. The latest information has been marked on the map, so please take a look. With that, it laid the map on the table. Show Dante.
Dante took a look at it and asked Gade, "How many reinforcements from the Kingdom of Light you are talking about?" ”
"There were more than 30,000 of them. It should be noted that these are all elite troops, led by the chief general of the Holy Light Kingdom, Paladin Fuding. ”
"Fordin?" When Dante heard the name, he felt very unusual. Then he asked, "This paladin Ferdin, is actually the chief general of the Holy Light Kingdom. It looks special. Do you have any information about him? ”
Gade said: "There is not enough information about this Ferdin. However, what is certain is that the Kingdom of Light sent Ferding to fight this time. The way forward is the griffon kingdom. But their route, passing by our side. I don't know if they're coming towards us. ”
"Hehe, coming at us?" Dante smiled and said disapprovingly, "Did he only bring a mere 30,000 men to beat us?" We now have more than 70,000 troops. Waiting for work with leisure can also consume them. ”
Then he thought of something. Continue to ask Gad: "What other troops does the Ferdin's army have besides the Paladin?" How many heavy weapons did you bring? What is the size of the logistics fleet? ”
Gade said: "Their class mix is still very reasonable. But. They did not carry heavy weapons such as artillery this time, and the logistics convoy was relatively small. I think it's very strange, looking at their team mixing, it seems that they are mainly fighting quickly with light soldiers, not like they are here to attack the city? What the hell is going on? ”
Dante also felt a little strange when he heard Gade say this. Indeed, if Fordin's troops were to attack the Demon King's Castle, they would definitely have to carry siege cannons and enough logistical supplies, and in this way, they would not be able to rely only on long swords, bows and arrows, and magic to attack the city.
Could it be that they have extremely strong magic and can even destroy the Demon King's castle?
No way, there hasn't been such magic yet. There may be this kind of magic in this world that can destroy the world, but it is by no means something that a creature of human size can grasp. That kind of magic, the fluctuations generated when it is cast alone, far exceed the limits of the human body, and will instantly tear the human body to pieces.
In addition to governing the territory of the Demon King's army, Gad is also very good at running an intelligence network. Since Dante descended on the Star Ocean, it has been paying attention to using various channels and relationships to find out information by various means. If there was such a magic that could destroy the city walls, it would have heard of it a long time ago.
Dante is convinced of Gade's abilities.
"In that case......," Dante said to Gade, looking at the map, "what should we do now?" Did you say that this Fodin, did he lead the troops to reinforce Uther and Antonidas? Or, the Hand of Tyr? He's gone to reinforce the Scarlet Crusaders? ”
Then, remembering something, he asked, "The Scarlet Crusaders are now mainly concentrated in the hands of Tyr, right?" How many troops do they still have? ”
Gad helped the pumpkin head and said, "The Scarlet Crusade led by Mograine still has about 30,000 people. They were the best of the best, stationed at the Hand of Tyr. ”
Dante asked, "What kind of place is this Hand of Tyr?" ”
Ged replied, "The origin of the name Hand of Tyr is unknown. However, it has always been a major food producing area in the Griffon Kingdom, and there are several larger farms in the area. Among the Scarlet Crusaders, Mograine is a relatively financially savvy person. He stubbornly guarded those big farms, and it worked. The Hand of Tyr is the most important supply base for the Scarlet Crusaders. ”
"Hmm." Dante continued, "So, the stronghold built by the Scarlet Crusaders there must have been very well defended, right?" We're going to take it, maybe not as easy as the Scarlet Monastery? ”
Gade nodded and said, "Yes." Master, don't know what your plans are right now? We also need to pay attention to the movements of the undead army. Now, the remnants of the Griffon Kingdom are holding the capital, forming a stalemate with the undead army. The main command base of the Undead Army in the Griffon Kingdom is the Psychic Academy. The Psychic Academy is located on an island in Lake Griffon. ”
"Fordin's Paladin's Army, the Undead Psychic Academy, the Scarlet Crusaders' Hand of Tyr, the remnants of the Griffin Kingdom......" Dante muttered as he looked at the colorful markings on the map, "Although we have wiped out the Crusaders of the Scarlet Abbey, there are still many strong enemies. ”
Seeing Dante's hesitation, Gade couldn't think of a plan for a moment, so he said, "Master, I have a plan, would you like to hear it?" I think that our Demon King Army is about to usher in a series of big battles. This series of battles may be very tragic, but as long as we get through it, we can go to the next level. ”
Dante nodded and said, "Tell me about it!" (To be continued......)
