Chapter 164: No Way Back
This was not good news for Herbert, as there were only a hundred of his troops in the town, and many more had been sent to other places as emissaries. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As for those top masters, they are in the hinterland of the Demon Domain Forest, and there is no way to get in touch with them anymore.
If you want to fight these more than 200 people, you must mobilize the forces that have just surrendered.
"My lord, why don't we go to the Demon Forest to hide in the Demon Forest this time like last time?" Eric next to him asked. The young paladin had now become a confidant of Palazzo Herbert, assisting Herbert in some important decisions.
Herbert was silent, as if weighing something.
Some of the paladins who also heard these words were very dissatisfied. A burly paladin said loudly, "Eric, don't give the Holy Bishop any bad ideas. Hide? Where do we hide? Those bastards are Harvey's lackeys, and we're enemies. If we can't even put these guys on the table, why will we attack Ontario in the future? A mere 200 people is nothing, as long as we mobilize the Light Races who have surrendered from these nearby settlements, we can defeat these guys. ”
Eric's face flushed, "Do you think I don't want to give them some color?" That's right, if you gather the nearby surrendered Light Races, you can indeed defeat them. But in that case, it is equivalent to telling others that our power has developed to a certain extent. Isn't this a clear plan for Harvey to send more men to besiege us? ”
"They dare to come? When they came, Lao Tzu did it with them. Brothers, do you say no? ”
This kind of agitative discourse always works surprisingly well. After his provocation, many paladins also began to make loud noises. Among them, most of them originally belonged to Gad's camp, who had been imprisoned in the Holy Light Inquisition for so many years, and they had already held back their strength to settle accounts with Bishop Harvey, so when it came to fighting, it was easy for there to be a scene of excitement.
"Why did we join the Holy Bishop's side, not so that we could fight Harvey's lackeys well? Now let's tolerate it everywhere, we don't do it! ”
“……”
The scene became more and more chaotic. Originally, Eric was still pulling his neck to tell these people a few words, but later found that his words did not work at all, so he could only look at St. Bishop Herbert.
Obviously, Herbert also weighed it in his mind for a long time. Psychologically, he was indeed inclined to Eric's suggestion, because he knew that it was too early to reveal his true energy too much, and the most likely thing was that after defeating these two hundred people, he would provoke another three hundred or four hundred people, because it was absolutely impossible for Harvey's side to sit idly by and watch their growing strength.
But looking at the current situation, it seems that all these people under his command are holding back their energy, just waiting for a few battles with Harvey's team. If he continues to endure one by one, he will discourage the enthusiasm of these paladins and question his authority. It is likely that many will think that their refusal to confront Harvey's army head-on is due to cowardice, rather than strategic considerations.
Moreover, if the priests who had already surrendered heard that every time the Holy Bishop came across Harvey's team, they would run to the Demon Forest in fright, what would they think of this? Do you think you're on the wrong side?
What worries Herbert the most is that Gad's forces have just merged into his own forces, and if the current incident shakes everyone's confidence in himself as a holy bishop, and throws himself back into Gade's arms, it will really be worth the loss.
Thinking of this, Herbert looked at everyone: "I have decided to send our liaison officer to get in touch with the priests who have surrendered from the surrounding settlements, and ask them to rush to the town to join us and prepare for the first battle with the Harvey forces." ”
"Oh"
A cheer erupted from below, and only a few paladins, including Eric, looked ugly. They didn't think as much as Herbert thought, but purely from a strategic and tactical point of view, and thought it was never a wise decision.
"The truth is always in the hands of a few." Eric suddenly remembered what a certain sage had said and shook his head slightly.
……
When Kyle meets Piger again, he tells him that he doesn't need to arrange for the Night Race to hold down Love's team. Now that the artifact fragment is in hand, there is no point in doing anything more.
"How many more of them are?" Pije asked.
Kyle bowed his head and said, "According to your orders, we just sent the Night Team to make trouble from time to time, and it didn't have much impact on their overall strength, the number is still about two hundred, and all of them maintain sufficient combat effectiveness. ”
The vicious dog nodded, and suddenly turned to another topic: "Recently, you don't need to contact the Night Race in other regions on behalf of me, there are many of our forces stationed in the underground abyss of Ontariel, and the Chaos Lord over there can't take care of some things, you go and help him do something." ”
Kyle had a look of surprise on his face as he looked at the vicious dog in front of him. Obviously, such an arrangement would reduce his weight in the Night Legion. Although Pijie, the Night ** Master, is nominally equal to the Chaos Lord, everyone knows that Pijie's power is much greater, and now Kyle has become the Chaos Lord's assistant, which is no different from demotion.
The moment the two made eye contact, Kyle immediately lowered his head, "Everything is at the behest of Master Piger." ”
After Kyle leaves, the vicious dog turns around and runs through a long underground passage to Annie's side.
"How about a taste of the white wolf's meat." Anne didn't look up.
Little Nizi seems to be very interested in white wolves these days, and often asks Pijie to catch a few of them, sometimes even taking matters into her own hands. Perhaps she didn't notice that the vicious dog was a little repulsive to this food. The white wolf and the husky are very similar in form, and every time the skin goes to hunt the white wolf, it feels like he is killing his own kind.
"It's settled." Pije said, turning and lying on the ground, "Looks like I'm going to have to find a few guys to be my spokesperson again." ”
Anne flipped the roast wolf meat and said as she carefully grasped the heat, "Actually, I think you can think about the light races we captured. Once the light race is darkened, there is no way back, and it will definitely follow you with all its heart. "To be continued.
