"How's the battle going?"
After Acoste and Ling left, Mavi was inevitably in charge of the entire Starry Night Realm, although the Warden had little experience in this area, but she had been educated as a princess of Eternal Gathering Island for a few years before being banished again, and had studied many courses of High Elf Administrators, so she didn't know how to do anything now.
"Returning to the Master Mother, we have killed and wounded more than 100 warriors in this battle, but we have eliminated about 500 orcs and demons on the other side."
A middle-aged man whose armor was stained with unthirsty blood, but his expression was extremely resolute, came out of the crowd and said, according to his words, the number of wars in this war is 1 to 5, if the opponents are orcs and demons, this kind of record is enough to be proud of the major kingdoms, but if you know that the standing army of the Starry Night Leader is only a few thousand, and in the Meteorite Fortress, it is just a thousand if you count the dwarves and elves, and the combined army of orcs and demons is measured in the unit of 10,000, This casualty ratio was far from enough for Starry Night to win the war.
"Okay, I see, what about the situation at Baldur's Gate? Will they be able to hold on? ”
The Sun Elf obviously knew this, and she frowned, and then asked another very important question.
It is also thanks to the fact that West Hartland also has an old strength, Baldur's Gate, which burdens the pressure of the nascent Starry Night Leader and restrains the enemy's forces, otherwise the Meteorite Fortress will not face the number of tens of thousands of enemies, but the number of hundreds of thousands of orcs after the rage........
"That." The garrison officer who came out of the crowd obviously had a heavy look between his eyebrows, but he pondered for a moment and still said truthfully. "According to the latest information from our [Earl of Darkness], all the areas of Baldur's Gate near the outer city wall near the city gate have all fallen, and now Baldur's Gate is engaged in a hard-fought street battle with those damn red-skinned orcs, but the results achieved are not good, according to the latest intelligence analysis, Baldur's Gate can hold out until the last day of the year at most, and in the next two weeks, their demise is already a sure thing!"
"Really?"
Hearing the news, Mavi showed an unexpected calmness of the little leader, she did not become angry and angry as the other party imagined, but looked very calm, as if she had known about this for a long time.
In fact, Mavi knew the fall of Baldur's Gate, and a month earlier, in a secret room, Acoster had told the Watchers a surprisingly similar prophecy and told her to plan ahead of time. 【】
It is not difficult for the half-elf Sword Saint to make such a prediction, because the current Baldur's Gate is too weak, and the orc's southward movement is an accident that Acoste did not expect, but even if it is not disturbed by people, this out-of-control Baldur's Gate is unlikely to survive the Sage's Rebellion and survive the most turbulent year to continue to exist........
The reason is simple, that is, this plane is completely chaotic, and it is not the point in time that Acoste remembers at all........
The early destruction of Yuanwang Town, the lightning of destruction that should have befallen the Sea of Glory but landed in West Hartland, this kind of sign undoubtedly indicates this theory, and at the same time it is also sounding the alarm bell for the half-elf Sword Saint, the old city of Baldur's Gate was originally able to survive the Sage Rebellion safely, and the biggest contributor to the turmoil encountered in the West Hartland region was the narrowest in scope, but when all the omens happened, Acoste had a clear premonition, I must no longer use my memory fragments to judge the direction of this area......
Before the appearance of the Starry Night Lord, the strength of Baldur's Gate was undoubtedly a first-class overlord in the entire West Hartland region, but compared to those true top forces in Faerun, it was obviously still more than one level behind......
After all, it is also a city in Niuqiao, and no matter how weak those top forces are, they are also a kingdom.
Just the various resource crises brought about by the advent of the winter solstice have already made the four Grand Dukes of Bode Gate a little anxious.
Now with the sudden addition of the active attack of orcs and demons, Baldur's Gate has obviously reached a limit, in order to maintain the number of the army, they recruit mercenaries notices all over the streets, all adult men are forced to conscript into the army, but what can these civilians who have never held a sword do? Undoubtedly, it is just to give the head of the murderous ** orc opposite.......
Even in this situation where Baldur's Gate has already exhausted its full war potential, they can still only maintain a stalemate with the orcs and demons, so once this war potential is exhausted, their demise will naturally become inevitable.......
"Send a signal for the two black dragons to come back, and let all of us stationed in the outer strongholds withdraw, this order is valid for everyone, including the mage group and the thieves of the [Earl of Darkness], I need to see them all this afternoon, do you understand?"
"Yes, Mistress, I see." To be honest, this little leader was very confused about Mavi's order in his heart, because now anyone can see that Baldur's Gate is now the only force in the West Hartland region that can help the Starry Night Leader share the pressure, if he withdraws all the help to the other party now, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to a stab in the back of the Baldur's Gate, even if this kind of thing will not spread afterwards, but his lips are cold, if the Baldur's Gate hits the street, the pressure that the Starry Night Leader will face will undoubtedly be three or four grades higher!
Moreover, it is even more incomprehensible to withdraw the secret agents who are all arranged outside by the Starry Night Collar, which is equivalent to poking blind their own eyes, pricking their ears, and plugging their noses, so that they will not receive the latest information from the outside at all.
You must know that although this is an era of magic, there are no satellites and no telephones, and the information exchange physique of this era is still in a relatively backward state as a whole, especially in the context of the current crisis, which gives people a feeling of peeling off their cocoons and being bound.
In the end, these secret strongholds were not easy for them to build before, they were established with huge manpower and material resources, and they fought with the local local bandit organizations and those other gray area organizations.....
But even with these so many suspicions, the little boss who got the order still didn't dare to let go of one and left, he had just taken office to this position two days ago, maybe his experience and talent in all aspects were not as strong as his predecessor's little leader, but from the other party's still cold body, he learned an extremely important thing, that is, don't doubt the orders issued by his new master mother at any time.......
"Well, if you know, go ahead and do it." The watchman waved his hand, but the little leader did not leave, but looked at him with an embarrassed face, as if he had something unspeakable.
"What's wrong? If you have anything else to report to me, just say it, I still have a lot of things to deal with. ”
"That's right. Mother, there are hundreds of refugees outside the city gate today, you see, are we .......?"
"Humph!" The watchman's face turned cold, and a half-moon-shaped wrist chakra suddenly appeared out of thin air on his empty left hand, "Why, what do you mean by telling me about this, do you want to put them all in according to your meaning?" ”
"No, no." The little leader felt the almost condensed murderous aura of the watcher, his face was frightened and bloodless for a moment, he quickly shook his head and explained, "I'm just worried that if we reject these refugees, it may have an impact on the reputation of our territory, and if those priests of the Temple of Justice or the Temple of Dawn know about these things, I'm afraid ....."
"What are you afraid of? We've fallen out with those temples for a long time, why aren't you afraid of it before, but now you're starting to be afraid? Mavi sneered, she was in a good mood at first, but as soon as she heard the names of these two temples, the watchman's pretty face immediately turned cold.
It is said that although Acoste fell out with those temples for the sake of Vier, it was actually because of her own relationship, because if it weren't for Vier's attempt to save herself from being attacked by the assassination demon, she would not have revealed her vampire identity at all, and there would be no thing behind it.......
Therefore, if you want to say who among the people of the Half-Elf Sword Saint is the most disobedient to the people of the two major temples, Ma Wei is estimated to be the one with the greatest hatred......
"And since those hypocrites claim to be good, where did they die now when the demons appeared? So why didn't those civilians go to them and come to us instead? If they were really that energetic, the world would not be full of evil, intrigue, cunning and deceit. ”
Mavi's body moved, and suddenly the whole person disappeared from the spot, and when she reappeared, she was already in front of the little leader's face.
She grabbed the collar of the little leader, who was nearly a head taller than herself, and warned him in a cold voice, "I know why you ask that, among the refugees below, there may be any person closest to you, but I don't allow you to open the city gate, and none of you are allowed to take it in, so I now give you two choices, first, either take off your armor and take your wife and children out of the Meteorite Fortress, and second, obediently follow my orders, which one do you choose?" ”
Mavi didn't exude any legendary professional momentum to oppress the other party, but it was those pair of fluorescent green eyes that made the cold sweat behind the little boss who looked at him soak his clothes.
"I.... I..... I'll listen to your orders, Mistress, don't worry, I won't let it go.... Let anyone in. ”
"Hmph, it's good that you know!"
Seeing the other party's chilling appearance, the watchman shook his hand and threw the other party on the city wall like garbage on the side of the road, "Look at the corpses around, there are many robes that you died in battle, and if you all die in battle, then it will be your family who will die again, you all know why this is the case, I hope you are not stupid enough to make this mistake a second time!" ”
Mavi coldly dropped a sentence and turned to leave, and the soldiers who were still on the city wall couldn't help but look ashamed, and none of them dared to stand up and refute the watchman's words.
Identity aside, what the other party said was indeed a fact, after the disaster, a large number of refugees from all over the city would gather at the gates of the four major cities of the Starry Night Command almost every day, and they knelt on the ground and begged the guards in the city to open the door and let them in, and some soldiers really did so.
They may have taken pity on the ragged wanderers, some of them because their family and friends were in them, and some of them were bribed by gold and silver treasures, because many of the refugees were "nobles" whose homes had been usurped.
However, at first, no one cared about it, and everyone turned a blind eye until last night, when disaster struck the Meteorite Fortress.
Dozens of demon believers were among the refugees, and they spent a few days planning before seizing the opportunity to invade a place where the Meteorite Fortress was stockpiling food, killing the guards and burning the grain in the granary.....
At the same time, another group of people sneaked to the city gate, they killed the guards and opened the gate, almost sending in the orcs and demons who were ready to attack outside, if it wasn't for a few patrols who discovered the situation in time and sounded the alarm in time, the Meteorite Fortress might have fallen into the hands of the berserk orcs earlier than Baldur's Gate!
But even so, the garrison of the Meteorite Fortress also paid a heavy price, and their casualties were not many, but because they wanted to rush out the orcs who had entered the city wall again, the Swift Dragon Knights were duty-bound to be on the front line, so those who died were almost all the elite warriors in the Swift Dragon Knights and dozens of precious velociraptors.
And on the defensive equipment, the Meteor Fortress has lost a lot, those orcs are not as stupid as rumored, and after merging with the demons, their IQ has risen rapidly, and the guys who can only dance with knives and swords actually began to talk about tactics, knowing that if they are detected again, they will not be able to defeat the Starry Night Collar, these orcs actually know how to dismantle all the city defense tools first, paving the way for the next general attack........
