When the chanting was over, a thick dark green cloud that seemed to drip juice completely enveloped about fifty Aldrich cavalry.

First there was a series of coughs, then an undulating howl of pain. In the dark green fog, there were constantly figures falling to the ground and dying.

Royanst looked at the scene in front of him, and his eyes were about to split. He wanted to do something, but now he had nothing to do but watch his soldiers being stubble after stubble by the Death Cloud Technique, harvested like autumn wheat.

Taking advantage of the enemy's surprise attack, Gordon once again cast four death cloud spells, enveloping all 500 Aldrich cavalry.

With the strength of his strong body, Rojest continued to resist the effects of the spell and was the first to break out of the area where the Death Cloud was located. Although he kept his mouth tightly closed, afraid to inhale a little bit of the terrifying magic poison cloud, he was screaming wildly in his heart.

"Impossible! Why is a five-ring mage able to instantly five death cloud techniques at once? Isn't this something that only the Eighth Ring or even the Nine Ring Mages can do? Could it be that we misjudged that Gordon from the beginning? Freeman's strength? ”

Rogenst, who doesn't have a deep understanding of magic, misjudges two things.

For one, Gordon didn't use the magic specialty of "Spell Instant" to unleash the Death Cloud. It's just because he learned "Akhorsia Quick Cast" that his casting degree has increased a lot, in the eyes of outsiders. It's almost instantaneous.

In addition, the average five-ring mage generally only has two or three five-ring spell slots. Even if all of them were prepared, it would be impossible to cast five five-ring spells at once without the help of any magic items. But Gordon is different. Although a five-ring spell costs up to twenty mana points, he now has two hundred and sixty mana points, which is more than enough.

After the initial mass deaths, the cavalry remained that were relatively stronger and were not immediately killed by the Death Cloud Technique. Led by Royancest, they stumbled away from the green fog that symbolized death. They had no choice but to carry the siege ladder that had been thrown on the ground again. Attack the front.

Defeating the enemy in front of you now is the only way to turn defeat into victory. And if the two sides were mixed up, the terrifying mage with seemingly endless spells would not dare to use a large-scale lethal spell like the Death Cloud Technique.

See the actions of the Aldrich cavalry on the battlefield below. Gordon though felt that they were trying to do anything these days. It was just a useless struggle, but he still admired a little that under such an unfavorable situation, the commander of the other party was able to integrate this team all the time without collapsing and escaping.

However, this did not prevent Gordon from continuing his efforts to drive all the enemies to hell.

He didn't use any powerful spells this time, just cast a few "Darson's Cool Breeze". Blow all the poisonous clouds that had been stagnant and motionless towards the cavalry on foot who were charging forward.

Gordon has already calculated. When the poison cloud is blown by the breeze and arrives under the earthen wall built by Sheona, that is, when the spell duration ends, it will not cause accidental damage.

Seeing the dark green clouds behind them, which had been standing still, suddenly moved under the agitation of the wind, and floated towards them, the cavalry showed a shocked look on their faces. Although these warriors are experienced in a hundred battles, they can be regarded as elite, but the continuous blows have already worn down their morale to a critical point. Now facing the threat of a poisonous cloud that can kill people in an instant, the fear of death makes these cavalrymen involuntarily speed up.

Although Rojance tried his best to maintain the formation, he was powerless in this situation. In the battle just now, the cavalry was equipped with large square shields, and advanced in a dense turtle formation, which could effectively defend against the long-range attacks of the redstone guards. But now, after being unable to maintain the formation because of panic, these soldiers who rushed over loosely were the best targets.

YANG Qi. Sharp-eared whistled excitedly and shouted, "Free fire!" Then he took the longbow from his back and shot his arrow.

Theodore, who was short and sturdy, and was also good at projecting weapons, also took one throwing axe after another from his waist with a red face.

Among the five retainers, the other three men who used melee weapons looked at each other, and then shook their heads: "It seems that in this battle, in the end, there is still nothing to do with us." It was impossible for those enemies to climb the walls. In the end, perhaps only the work of collecting the body can be done. ”

At this stage, there is no suspense at all.

The elite cavalry of the Aldrich family, which was completely blocked by two earthen walls in a narrow area of the Isthmus of Cork, had no place to escape. The fastest of them did not survive the moment they climbed the city wall before they were killed by a torrential rain of arrows. And those who ran behind because of their lack of body ended up even more miserable. They were swallowed by the rapidly moving cloud of poison, then put their hands around their necks and let out a groan of pain, and then fell to the ground like mud, dying with a hideous, twisted expression.

In addition to throwing a few rounds of javelins to attack Gordon flying in the sky, after the battle was over and the entire army was annihilated, the elite cavalry of the Aldrich family did not even have a chance to draw their weapons and fight the enemy head-on.

A total of 500 cavalrymen, 498 of whom were killed, including the commander Royancest.

The only two remaining survivors were ordered by Gordon to be captured alive by the Redstone Guards.

Two horsemen, with frightened faces and crossbows in their armor, were brought to Gordon.

Gordon duly showed his belly as the lord of the Haiwen Peninsula, let the two of them rest for a while, and drank a glass of liquor to suppress the shock.

Seeing that the two of them had recovered enough, Gordon said slowly: "Do you know why I left the two of you dead? ”

The two horsemen glanced at each other, and one of them, a warrior with an older face, said with a sad face, "Your Excellency." You need someone to get back to the Black Iron City and ...... to the King of the Black Stripes No, to Ebel. Aldrich reports on the outcome of the battle. ”

"That's right." Gordon said slightly. "Also, as you may know, that Simon. Master Aldrich, it's right in my hands. ”

"Yes. This time, our cavalry team set out to pursue in order to save Master Simon, who was deeply loved by Lord Abel. I thought it would be a very easy thing, who knew ......" the surviving cavalry smiled bitterly.

Now that the victory has been achieved, there is no need for Gordon to further humiliate these losers. Because there is no other use in doing so than to vent the anger in the heart. And he was now very happy in his heart, the one who was infinitely angry. I'm afraid it's the King of Haiwen who is far away in Black Iron City.

Gordon continued, "You go back to Black Iron City and have two missions. One is to tell the king of Hayven the ins and outs of this battle. Not. Let Mr. Able use this title to his heart's content. Because he doesn't have many days left. ”

Gordon snapped his fingers. Hearing the crisp sound, Woodlaw approached with his spear on his shoulder.

The warrior, who always had a gloomy complexion, flicked the tip of his spear, and a large head hanging from it landed at the feet of the two captives.

Looking at the expression of anger and despair on his face, his eyes widening wide, the cavalrymen involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Captain Royancest, who was once invincible in their hearts and was as powerful as a god, is now in a different place.

"Take this head back. Also, sue the king of SΓΉ Hywen. If you want to redeem Master Simon, then you can only let him within one month. Two hundred tons of grain were raised and sent to the Isthmus of Cork. The section of the wall I made with my spell will soon be strengthened into a pass. ”

"This Gordon. Freeman, do you want to divide your territory with the King of Hyven on the Isthmus of Cork as a boundary? ”

The two cavalrymen were shocked.

Ignoring the shocked expressions of the two men, Gordon continued: "In addition, I need the raw materials to be able to make ten five-hundred-ton ships, as well as five hundred shipbuilders. ”

The captive didn't expect Gordon's appetite to be so great, and his face showed hesitation: "This...... Lord Earl Hyperven......"

Gordon shook his head, stopped the two of them from speaking, and then said in a meaningful tone: "In terms of the life of the young master of the competition, I don't think my asking price is too much. And, the two of you should remember who you are. You just need to bring the news to the king of Hyperven, how to bargain is not your business. ”

The two cavalrymen were furious by the black mage's smiling expression, and they had to nod their heads constantly.

"Okay, now that you understand, let's go back to Black Iron City as soon as possible. Remember to take off your armor before leaving...... Even if these cold irons are recast, they are also a lot of wealth. Now that I'm just starting out, I have to be careful about my calculations......"

The two horsemen no longer cared about Gordon's almost miser-like style. They just wanted to leave immediately, even if they had to return to Black Iron City to bear the wrath of the King of Hyven, it would be better than staying here.

This battle of the Isthmus of Cork ended with Gordon. Freeman's resounding victory came to an end. Although the balance of strength between the two sides has not changed substantially, at least for a month or two, Gordon has the advantage.

Although the army under the command of the King of Hyperven is relatively large, after losing the most elite family cavalry, it is not easy for the other rabble to quickly integrate and form a usable combat force. What's more, Gordon now has an absolute geographical advantage, and controls the only passage for the enemy to the south, the Isthmus of Cork.

The city of Cloud Scales is less than a day's journey from the Isthmus of Cork, and it is extremely convenient to build a pass here for supplies and support. This narrow terrain with an isthmus of steep cliffs on both sides makes it an excellent defensive terrain.

However, Gordon has not forgotten that the land where he is now located is a peninsula. If the enemy has the advantage at sea, he can completely ignore the fortifications he has painstakingly managed on the 6 lands and launch the 6 offensive from any location he wants.

However, after the destruction of the six warships in the Black Iron City, the Aldrich family's original sea superiority will no longer exist. A month and a half at the earliest, or more than two months at the latest, when the other two fleets of the Aldrich family returned overseas, the other side would be able to regain control of the entire coast of the Haiwen Peninsula. And until then. The control of the sea on both sides is exactly the same: zero.

With a series of plans to take the initiative, Gordon bought himself what he needed most: time.

Just do your best to stand firm and stretch out. Cleaning up the Aldrich family is nothing more than a matter of casting a Zero Ring spell.

And with the batch of materials that were exchanged for the use of Young Master Simon, Gordon believed that even in this situation where all sides were blocked and he could not trade with the outside world, he would not have to worry about it for the time being.

Of course, Master Simon and that beast man Larry have another purpose.

"Clean up the battlefield as much as you can, and bring me the corpses and armor of those cavalrymen." Gordon ordered. "Also, Chuck. I will give you a hundred soldiers and two hundred workers to stay on the Isthmus of Cork. Strengthen the fortifications I have made, and be wary of those who go south. ”

"Yes, my lord." Chuck bowed.

Today this battle, although he did not personally participate. A little regret. But after witnessing such a brilliant victory. He is more confident about the Freeman family's future exhibitions, and he is more certain that his choice in High Rock was not wrong.

As the Freeman siblings left the Isthmus of Cork and continued south, the two freed captives also carried the head of the cavalry commander Roxest and returned to Black Iron City.

Looking at the head on the desk, which was already a little smelly because of the sweltering climate. Abel. Aldrich finally realized that he relied on the officer the most. I'm already in a different place.

The anger that had been accumulating in his heart for a long time exploded in an instant, and the king of Haiwen clenched his fists with both hands and slammed it violently.

A violent force was released in an instant, making the entire room feel as if it was in the middle of a storm.

By the time the two horsemen who had survived the death and the twin siblings who had been with their father had recovered from the terrible feeling of storm, the entire large desk, and the objects on it, including the horrific head, had been reduced to powder.

"I wanted to err on the side of caution and try to avoid conflict with the new lord. Unexpectedly, that young man actually took the lead ......" The King of Haiwen had a gloomy face.

His highest goal was not limited to ruling the peninsula. He wants to wear the crown, he wants to be the one who can really be equal to the many kings on this big 6, and he wants the Aldrich family to get rid of the shadow of pirates and become a real nobleman.

It is precisely because of such ambitious goals that Abel . Aldrich didn't want to provoke the Empire and cause unnecessary trouble. But what he didn't expect was that the young man who had just arrived was the first to break the apparent calm.

"Father." Hensel stepped forward, "You don't have to be too angry. Maybe relying on a vile and shameless sneak attack, Gordon. Freeman won for the time being. But he is still a stranger who is unfamiliar with the environment, and his strength is very different from that of our Aldrich family. What's more, he has now fled to the south of the peninsula, and has nowhere to go at all, and can only be trapped there without foreign aid. ”

Grida added, "Yes, father. Now we just need to wait quietly and recover the losses of this battle, which is enough. When the two fleets in the far sea return, they can bypass the Isthmus of Cork and attack the territory of the other party6. ”

The King of Hyven looked at the twin siblings and sneered, expressing his displeasure at the two of them for not being able to stop Gordon outside the village. But he glanced at Hensel's bloodied face, which had lost its color from injury, but he didn't want to be too harsh.

"Don't forget, that Gordon is very smart, and he actually asked me to exchange the materials and craftsmen of the shipbuilding for your big brother." "Perhaps," said the King of Hayven, "it may not be long before the maritime superiority of the entire peninsula is in the hands of Gordon. Freeman's hand. ”

Hensel said, "Father, why do you test our intelligence with such a subject? You have lived at sea for more than ten years, and it should be well known how difficult it is to build a fleet with combat effectiveness. Even if Gordon owned the ship, so what? Where did he get trained sailors? Without a sailor, his ship would have to be parked in the harbor as a decoration. ”

"And father, even so, I don't agree with agreeing to Gordon's request to send him food, supplies, and manpower." Greda added, "There are many ways to bring Big Brother back. The other party has just arrived in Cloud Scale City, and their foothold is unstable, so we can take the opportunity to send an elite night attack to rescue the eldest brother. Gordon. Freeman must not be underestimated. We can't provide him with any nutrients for his growth. Grida added.

Although she put on an attitude of considering the overall situation. But the true thoughts of this female mage may only be known to Hensel, who is completely on the same front as her. The siblings were enraged by their father's refusal of Gordon's request and killed Simon.

However, the choice of the King of Hyven disappointed the twin siblings.

"There's no need. Simon's safety is now more important than anything else. As you said, now that Gordon is cowering in the south of the peninsula, he has no fleet, and the passage to the north is blocked, which means that he is in a state of complete isolation, and even if he meets his requirements, it will only be enough to support him for a month or two. When my fleet comes back, I will get back what I sent out today! (To be continued......)
