Chapter 133: Asking for Help from the Night Race

The commander frowned and looked at the man next to him, "You say." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Sir, the garrison left an hour ago, heading north, and now the rest of the town are civilians. I sell fruit for a living, and this is my wife, who also sells fruit. We're all good people! ”

The commander told the scouts to search the road to the north to see if there were any traces of the procession passing, and soon came a positive reply.

Immediately afterwards, the commander carefully looked at the man for a short moment, and then waved his hand: "You guys go back." The man who was in a cold sweat immediately picked up the woman and ran away.

Behind the commander, a staff officer whispered, "My lord, should we continue to search?" ”

"It's too late today, forget it."

The commander turned his horse's head: "Let's go and camp outside the city." Tell the warriors to put away their primal wildness. I know what you're thinking. Want to slaughter the city to vent your resentment? Don't forget that this is the territory of the Half Moon Alliance, and it's best not to go too far, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that the alliance will not have any direct action. ”

After thinking about it, the commander added: "Tell the herald to have the Fourteenth Army stationed at the border come over." Those guys are the best fit to stay here, and our Thirteenth Legion has only one mission, to fight. ”

After the invaders had bloodlessly captured three empty garrisons, General Walter of the Banner Corps was leading his men in a major retreat. The general also gave encouragement to his subordinates.

"What is the best tactic? An old-timer once said that if you win, you will fight, and if you can't win, you will run the fuck! The Thirteenth Legion is the sharp sword force of the Alpha Kingdom, and we are no match at all. Since their purpose is to want territory, let them eat some sweetness first. As long as we are still there, the territory will be taken back sooner or later! ”

This encouragement was quickly conveyed to the entire legion, and the effect was very obvious, and the whole team retreated faster.

General Walter of the Banner Corps has always been known for his sword and not following common sense. As a legendary mid-level warrior, the fierce characteristics of the military general are not shown in this person, but there is more insidious cunning.

No one knew that the reason why the top general of the corps ordered all the men to sleep in their clothes was not only to be able to attack at any time, but also to facilitate a faster retreat.

As for the civilians of the principality who were abandoned at the border, it was also a small trap. The Half Moon Alliance has a strict rule that no war can cause unwarranted harm to civilians. There are more than 10,000 people in the small town on the border of the Duchy, and if the guys of the 13th Legion are angry and slaughter the city, then the Duchy of Finnir will have enough reason to ask for the assistance of the Half-Moon Alliance.

Several light horsemen broke out of the ranks and galloped away in the direction of the Ontares. They were sent to Ontaret to ask for help.

At present, the Principality of Finier is not peaceful, and many surrounding forces have formed different factions under the banner of the former Grand Duke of Efe, so they are all unreliable.

But General Walter knew that there was still a mysterious contingent in the Duchy that had not been used. And the light cavalry he sent did not seek ordinary military assistance, but directly "begged" this mysterious team from the Grand Duke of Baria.

The cavalry rushed all the way to the Andari, and it took two days before they finally came to the outside of the Grand Duke's Palace. By this time, General Walter had already retreated to the nearest city with his army of nearly 20,000 men, and joined forces with the defenders of the city to wait for help.

When the Grand Duke of Baria hastily met with the man sent by Walter, the messenger handed him the letter he was carrying. The letter, written by the general himself, was concise and clear, and he did not hide his desires too much.

"The Banner Corps was attacked by the elite forces of the Alpha Kingdom, losing a quarter of its strength and losing a large area of fertile land. The Principality is currently surrounded by rebels and aggression from outside, and I hope that His Majesty the Grand Duke will send the forces used in the counterattack against General Posado, so that I can regain the land and population of the Principality of Finir"

Grand Duke Barria frowned thoughtfully.

He knew exactly what General Walter meant. As early as the time of the Grand Duke of Efe, he had already developed a strong interest in this general, who could be called a feudal official. Not because of the great military exploits, but because of some interesting stories that have been circulated in the market.

It is said that when Walter was young, he fell in love with a woman at the same time as another nobleman. The knight and Walter agreed to a duel, and the latter pretended to agree, but secretly arranged a large number of men at the duel site.

When it was time for the duel to be agreed upon, Walter left empty-handed, saying that he could defeat him with only his hands. The knight was furious and rushed with his sword raised, but was surrounded by those who were secretly ambushing and hacked to death. Walter made all this plausible by charging him with "attempted murder of a nobleman". And in the end, the woman was rightfully taken in by Walter.

In addition, one of the general's aphorisms was also widely circulated in the circles of conspirators in the principality of Fennel: "Hero? Hahaha! This phrase, which at first glance does not seem nutritious, is regarded as a classic, full of contempt for the countless people who carry the seemingly righteous banner and shout, as well as respect for true strategy.

For such a conspiracy theorist, it was not surprising that Archduke Barria would know about his alliance with the Night Race in the first place, nor was it surprised that he made such a condition. In a way, Barria even appreciated him, but of course this appreciation was accompanied by some guardingness.

At present, the regular army of the principality, which has declared allegiance to the new Grand Duke, is busy quelling the rebellion, and the strength is tightly absorbed from all sides, and it is difficult to detach a part of it to help the banner corps. But if you don't let it go, if you let the Alpha Kingdom take a city, your side will really lose a lot.

So, after some deliberation, the Grand Duke of Barria decided to consider Walter's suggestion, and sent someone to consult with Anne.

When Davidson exchanged Archduke Barria's opinion with Anne, the latter freed his hand to feed the cats and looked at Pije, who was squatting on the ground.

"It's a very simple thing." The Vicious Dog replied, "As long as the Night Legion stationed in the underground abyss there comes out, it will be done." For us, a neutral race that uses vindictive energy is much easier to deal with than a light race that uses the Light. ”

Anne then raised her head, frowned slightly, and said, "I heard that the Thirteenth Legion of the Alpha Kingdom is difficult to deal with. If we get rid of them for you, there will be a lot of consumption. What is there on the Duchy's side to compensate for the Night Race? "To be continued.
