Chapter 297: Bad News!
After the war, it is to collect the corpses and count the battle damage.
There are special personnel in charge of these things, and there is no Rollin business for the time being, and he returns to Bishui City with the surviving cavalry and warriors.
As soon as I entered the city gate, I saw that the roads in the city were already crowded with people who had come to welcome them, and everyone was happy.
"Count Maple Leaf!"
"Hero!"
"Long live the warriors!"
"Maple Leaf King" didn't know who shouted like this, and then everyone shouted like this, and finally, everyone shouted like this.
"Maple Leaf King! Maple Leaf King! The whole street echoed like this, and many soldiers shouted along, and the faces of the lords changed a little, especially Angela and Zacquero.
The two of them followed Rollin, in their eyes, Rollin didn't have any special expression, his face was still faint, and he didn't have any joy, it seemed that he didn't feel anything about the title of Maple Leaf King, and even this victory didn't have much joy.
But this was no longer a matter of Rollin, and the reaction of the common people and soldiers was a good indication of the great prestige that Rollin had gained because of this victory.
It can be said that in Bishui City, even if Archduke Lehman comes, his prestige is not as good as Luo Lin at this moment.
"Your Highness?" Zacrow looked at Angela.
"Don't worry too much, the southeast front is not stable yet." Angela said softly, there are more undead in the lakeside fortress, more terrifying, there may be more demons among them, and if you think about it, it must be a hard battle.
At this time, Rollin's prestige was in full swing, and even many of the kingdom soldiers brought by Zacrow were backwater, looking at the warriors who chanted the Maple Leaf King, Zaquero's soldiers shouted as cheerfully.
Change the commander on the spot, don't say that they don't have this ability, even if they have, they can't do this, otherwise the people's hearts will be unstable, and the southeastern front of the principality will be rotten nine times out of ten.
The other noble lords present also had their own thoughts, and in their senses, it seemed that the principality was about to change, and even if they were lucky enough to repel the undead, the principality might have to be divided.
So, who are they supposed to support?
Several of the noble lords present exchanged glances at each other, and they all saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.
The Grand Duke was wise, but he was old and had no strong heirs. And Earl Maple Leaf is in his prime, his strength is unparalleled, and his ability to govern the territory is not bad, and after the split, it is clear who will become the ultimate master of this land.
What made these lords even more acquiescing in their hearts was that the count was said to have a very generous personality, which can be seen from his cousin Xiàn in governing the two counties of Maple Leaf Levin.
After a short eye contact, the lords had a tacit understanding in their hearts, and if that day really came, they would be right behind Count Maple Leaf.
The lords had different thoughts, but Rollin didn't think much about these power matters, he was thinking about the lakeside fortress, and he didn't know if the fortress could hold it.
The army marched all the way, and finally the soldiers entered the barracks, while Rollin and the lords of the duchy went to rest in the castle.
This time, Luo Lin did not refuse, and under the arrangement of the city lord of Bishui, he lived in the best room in the castle. In fact, as long as he enters the castle, this room is his, otherwise no one else will dare to live in it, even if it is empty.
Under the service of the servants, he washed off the blood stains on his body and battle armor, changed into a new set of clothes, and then put on the battle armor again.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still more than two hours before dinner, so it was conceivable that there would be no leisure at the table, and everyone would definitely take advantage of the meal to discuss the next battle.
These two hours have become a rare free time, and Rollin does not plan to find something for himself, so he is busy and relaxes himself.
This room is spacious, exquisitely and luxuriously decorated, and also has a large balcony with a chaise longue on which you can recline and have a great view of the whole city of clear water.
Naturally, Rollin would not let go of this enjoyment, sat on the chair, asked the servant to bring some snacks and wine, and enjoyed this rare comfort.
While he was drinking, the balcony door was pushed open, and he turned his head to see that it was Angela, who, like Rollin, was still dressed in military uniform.
"You're so laid-back." Angela snorted coldly, very dissatisfied with Rollin's lazy behavior, she handed a piece of parchment to Rollin: "The approximate battle damage has come out, this time, 18,000 people were killed in the battle, and 2,000 were seriously wounded, and I can't go to the battlefield in this life." So, we have 11,000 left. The only consolation is that these fighters are elite. ”
Luo Lin took the parchment and looked at it, the situation of the three thousand ironclad cavalry he brought was not bad, and there were more than 2,000 people who retained their combat strength, and the heavy losses were mainly the ordinary soldiers brought by those noble lords, some lords not only died themselves, but the soldiers under them were basically finished, such as the Marquis of Mullen, the sacrifice of this lord really made Luo Lin a little regretful.
Sighing, handing the parchment back to Angela, Rollin said: "The losses are great, but the battle is not over yet." Tonight give all the warriors a share of meat, rest for the night, and tomorrow get on the ship and prepare to go south. ”
"It's up to you to say that. I have been preparing for a long time, and I have already killed three hundred sheep and a hundred cattle. Angela glanced at Rollin: "We're all busy." ”
Rollin didn't care at all, waved his hand at Angela and said, "Then you can go and get busy." I'm going to get some rest. ”
What else can Angela say, this is the prerogative of the commander. The other party gave an eviction order, and she could only exit the room.
"Don't forget the two hundred barrels of Necronebusis Elixir in the Valley of Arryn, that thing will also be brought to the south." Voices came from the room again.
"I've already let people move!" Angela was speechless, how could they forget such an important thing!
In the room, Rollin took a sip of wine, then set the glass aside, squinting his eyes, and savoring the changes in his body.
After winning the battle and killing the demon lord Aksu, Rollin felt that his legendary bottleneck seemed to loosen somewhat.
Feel the legendary heart in the body, more condensed than before, faintly, has begun to emit light, feel carefully, you can find that there are streams of energy flowing into the heart of the legend, and at the same time there are streams of energy flowing out of it, the energy flowing in comes from his body, and the energy flowing out is more pure and pure, this energy is constantly nourishing his body, improving his strength all the time.
This speed is not slow, but quite fast, and Rollin estimates that in a month, his body will usher in a similar metamorphosis-like improvement.
At that time, he will truly become a legendary powerhouse, and when he fights against Morovogen, he will no longer have to worry about his power suppression.
A month later, he will truly become the pinnacle powerhouse of this continent!
Squinting his eyes, slowly clenching his fists, and feeling the power flowing in his body, Luo Lin's heart rose, jumped up from the chaise longue, the moire sword was unsheathed, and began to slowly practice his vortex strength.
One move, one style, simple and concise, the power is as clear as a pearl and jade, and the feeling is wonderful. After only a moment, Rollin was immersed in it.
He didn't know how long it was, but suddenly he heard hurried footsteps, and someone was rushing towards his room. From the messy footsteps, Luo Lin clearly felt the anxiety in the heart of the comer, and also recognized the identity of the other party.
"It's Angela, she was fine just now, what's wrong with her?" Rollin felt strange.
In the midst of her doubts, the door was pushed open, and Angela rushed in, her eyes red and tears on her face, obviously just crying. As soon as she entered, she handed a teleportation scroll to Rollin, and her voice was hoarse: "The Davik Fortress has fallen. ”
Luo Lin was taken aback, and then suddenly realized in his heart: "No wonder the undead want to raid Baiyun City, it turns out that they want to drag the Grand Duke to fight on two fronts and reduce the strength of Davik Fortress." ”
To be honest, this was not a surprise to Rollin, he had long known that Davik's fortress would definitely fall in the near future, especially after seeing the demon, he had this feeling, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
After a pause, Luo Lin said, "Who else knows this news?" ”
"I'm the only one who knows for now. I came over as soon as I got the letter. Angela's voice was a little choked, she knew very well the consequences of the fall of the fortress, the fortress fell, and the army of the undead went all the way north, and it would take half a month to reach the Fire Lion City.
This means that most of the elite areas of the Duchy of Lehman have fallen into the hands of the undead legions, and even the capital will fall. The letter said that the elite of the principality had been lost, and less than 20,000 warriors had withdrawn from the fortress, and that they had fled to the north like lost dogs, and that they had completely lost the courage to fight against the army of the undead.
In a word, the Principality has gone, the Lehman family has completely lost its power, and she is no longer the noble princess.
Angela doesn't care about herself, she's at least safe now, she's worried about her father.
Luo Lin already had a plan in his heart, his face was still calm as usual, and his voice was still calm: "In this way, we don't have to go south. Immediately go north and build a new line of defense in the north! ”
The southern part of the duchy has been completely eroded, and it is useless to go any further, but it is possible to be flanked left and right by the army of the undead from the fortress of Davik, and it will be a complete tragedy to annihilate the whole army at that time.
The most important thing now is to preserve the strength. As for the lakeside fortress and Swan Castle in the south, spread the news that the defenders should abandon their defense and immediately go north along the lake, and how much they could escape.
"But my father?"
"Your father will be fine! If I didn't expect it to be bad, he should be on his way to the kingdom of Aoraki by now. King Aoraki must have gotten the news, and I think the Frost Crusade must have been preparing to head south. ”
Rollin paced back and forth on the balcony, and after more than ten seconds, he paused: "Time is pressing, we will leave tonight!" You go, gather all the lords, I'm going to announce the news! ”R1152
