Chapter 32: Destruction
The invasion of the Orcs has left the kingdom of St. Olofe in absolute diplomatic isolation, and at the same time, the country has fallen into a desperate predicament militarily
Fighting alone with the Pole Kingdom is enough for the St. Auluffie Kingdom to drink a pot, not to mention that there is now an additional orc tribe, and the orc army drove straight into the occupied area to avoid the Pole Kingdom, invaded a large piece of St. Auluffy's land, robbed a lot of food and money, and plundered a large number of St. Auluffie prisoners of war back to Shamania as slaves, and the St. Auluffie Kingdom was on the verge of life and death
After weighing the pros and cons, the authorities of the kingdom of St. Auluffie decided to temporarily suspend their troops with the kingdom of Pouler, which was originally an enemy, and they sent emissaries to meet with Duris I
However, King Duris I had no intention of meeting with the emissaries of the Kingdom of St. Auluffy, and he handed over the meeting to officials of the same rank to deal with it, and the arrogance of Duris angered the authorities of the Kingdom of St. Auluffy, but they had no choice but to knock out their front teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, after all, they now needed the powerful military power of the Kingdom of Pole to appear on their soil as allies rather than enemies
Of course, the negotiators of the Pole Kingdom also put forward a lot of rather excessive conditions in a timely manner, which made the negotiators of the St. Auluffie side gnash their teeth, but they were helpless, so the negotiations have been maintained in a very stalemate
In this way, the two sides fought and talked, and the marathon negotiations lasted for more than a month, and the Pole Kingdom was not in a hurry, anyway, they had a lot of time to spend, but it was different for the Saint Oluffi Kingdom, each extra day they took, the more difficult it became, and now less than one-third of the Saint Oluffie territory was left in the hands of the Saint Oluffi authorities, and the rest were divided between the Pole Kingdom and the Orc Clan
Although the army of the Pole Kingdom and the orc army occasionally fought on the territory of St. Auluffy, there were no large-scale battles, and some people believed that this was the result of the collusion between the Pole Kingdom and the Orcs, but most people thought that it was because the Orcs had been scared by the Pole King, so they did not dare to confront the army of the Pole Kingdom, and this statement soon became internationally dominant
Until the death of Duris I, no one knew that this was a secret agreement between the Pole Kingdom and the Orc Kingdom, otherwise the situation would have changed 180 degrees, and St. Auluffie would be able to escape the predetermined fate of sinking, but there was no such thing in the world, and if King Duris's absolute secrecy in intelligence work left St. Auluffie without the only chance to avoid complete decline
On September 9, 1686, the Age of Light was established in several vassal principalities, After the Houguo and the city-states publicly announced the dissolution of their suzerainty with St. Auluffy, the authorities of St. Auluffie realized that they could no longer drag out the negotiations, and after an afternoon of haggling to determine that it was no longer possible to get a piece of fat from the representative of the Pole Kingdom, St. Auluffy's representatives accepted the unequal treaty that humiliated them - ceding the coastal territories bordering the Fayele Empire in the north to the Pole Kingdom as war reparations - in exchange for military assistance from the Pole Kingdom to strike at the orc army deep into the territory of St. Auluffy
On the afternoon of September 10, more than 3,000 soldiers of the Shield of Honor, one of the legions of the Pole Kingdom in the northern route army of St. Auluffy, happily entered the town of Ipolodin, a small town ceded to the northern territory of the Pole Kingdom by the St. Auluffie Kingdom
This town is not large in size and has a small population, with only more than 800 permanent residents, but the town of Epolodine is in the center of the new land, and the Pole Kingdom has stationed a legion of troops here, with the town of Ipolodin as the core, and quickly radiates its influence into the new land, so as to consolidate its control over the new land more quickly
Trainee knight Toby is a small team leader in the Shield of Honor Legion, only 18 years old to join the army, only half a year after joining the army, has followed the king of Duris from Shamania to St. OluffiToby was born in a typical small aristocratic family in the southwest of the Pole Kingdom, although some people with the plot of restoration have a lot of complaints about Toby joining the new Pole army, but Toby disdains it, he joined the army in order to make a contribution, and after King Duris took power, the army was greatly expanded, and it gave Toby a golden opportunity
Toby feels honored to be a member of the vanguard of the nation's development
Toby and his squad were ordered by the top brass of the Poeller Army to patrol outside the western outskirts of the town, and although he knew that he would not be stationed in Epoledine for long, he was very conscientious in his mission, because in the New Bole Army, iron discipline was very strict
As Toby and the other five members of his squad were patrolling a small hill, they suddenly heard a soldier shouting, "Squad leader, look at this is a big tower."
The place was full of stones, and Tatobi thought it was a prank by the soldiers, and replied angrily
No, you see, it's really a tower, and it's big, and the soldier said with great certainty
So Toby looked in the direction the soldier was pointing
Oh my God, there was a tower 100 meters in front of him, very tall
However, there is no such tower on the map, and how can such a huge building not be marked on the map
Toby thought it was very strange, could it be an illusion, Toby hurriedly planned to go back and report the matter to Shangfeng, but before Toby could give the order to return to the city, the huge tower suddenly disappeared out of thin air, as if it had never appeared
What happened in the next second didn't give Toby any room to think, because just as the giant tower disappeared, an incomparably huge ball of light suddenly appeared, as if another sun suddenly appeared on the ground
In a hundredth of a second, the ball of light emits thousands of degrees...... It's not tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions of degrees Celsius that Toby and his squad members have been vaporized into molecular states by unimaginably terrible heat in the space of a billionth of a second......
For the next 100,000th of a second, the ball of light rapidly expanded, enveloping the town of Hipodin and the area around it, and then forming a circle of unimaginably powerful shockwaves that spread outward......
Boom - at this moment, a loud sound that shook the mountains was made in the location of the town of Hipoptin, and even the inhabitants of St. Pope's Island, far away on the other side of the sea, heard the terrible loud noise...... After the Great Ball of Light disappeared, however, where the Great Ball of Light had originally appeared, an incomparably large mushroom-shaped cloud of smoke rose into the sky
The town of Epolodin, with its 3,000 Poyler troops and 800 civilians shrouded in a mushroom cloud, knew that they had already turned to dust with everything in the town the moment the ball of light appeared.
