472 The largest and most anticlimactic battle in history

"Hey...... Hey hey ......"

When Theresia personally sent the order to Roydas, the boss slumped in his chair, his eyes glazed and he let out an unconscious laugh.

The assistant came over, and Roydas pulled himself together and said something that made the latter almost collapse on the ground: "Retreat!"

Retire!?

There are still more than thirty legions in front of the Northern Alliance!

Before the commanders and generals at all levels had time to think deeply, cheers rang out on the opposite position, banners were waving, and trumpets were in the sky, but they were not a signal for battle.

Watching the enemy troops on the opposite side pour out of the trenches and ramparts, hugging each other and crying, as if it was impossible to escape, Offlyn let out a long breath.

It's great to have a win without having to fight......

Those soldiers on the other side actually agreed with His Majesty, but they were forced by the king and nobles to go to the battlefield, and now they can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and they can not die in this kind of meaningless battle, of course they will be so happy that they want to cry.

But...... Why did it turn out this way?

Why did the two sides quietly look at each other for two or three hours, and then the battle was over?

"Duke Prell has captured the Lion King City! captured a large number of nobles, their legend surrendered on the spot, and now the entire coalition army has surrendered!"

Jon relayed the news he had just received, and his little face was flushed with excitement: "The stepmother allowed the Northern Alliance to keep their weapons and return directly to the Lion King City, and the battle is over!"

He said to Overlynd, "Look, I'm right, the Duke won't wait for us to fight!"

It turned out to be a secret plan between the Duke and His Majesty......

Offlyn let out a cloudy breath, and was faintly uncomfortable. His Majesty kept the rest of his subordinates in the dark and planned such a surprise attack with the Duke, was her relationship with the Duke so close?

It's not just Offlyn who thinks so, but when the Northern Alliance forces turn back and retreat north, the Order Alliance camp in the south is silent.

Of course, most of the low-level soldiers were happy to win without a fight, but many soldiers were still annoyed that they had lost the opportunity to receive rewards for meritorious service. And the generals, regardless of whether they are high or low, feel full of depression and can't wait to spit out a mouthful of old blood. They still can't accept the reality that the battle is over, and they haven't even fired a bullet yet!

"I won!"

The "hourly man" proudly spread his hands to his colleagues, and all he got was a series of resentful or disdainful glances.

On the day of October 1227, the largest battle of the Lord Plane in the Fourth Age came to an end, and it was a piece of black history that the commanders and generals of both sides did not want to mention. From the beginning to the end of this battle, they only acted as a foil in the background.

In the "Coalition Command Headquarters" in Lion King City, a large number of nobles knelt down to Teresia and asked for surrender, and these people were all wounded on their faces and bodies, although they didn't matter, they looked quite embarrassed.

When they got up, they all looked at Theresia with relief and expectation, and when they turned to the black-haired and gray-eyed young man beside the queen, they subconsciously shuddered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't forget your ransom," Richie reminded them casually, but the queen got a roll of the eye.

"I'll give it to you, I'll give you half of the military budget saved in this battle, okay?"

The queen whispered: "Don't let your soldiers stop and withdraw!"

Listening to her cold tone, Li Qi couldn't help but ask how many there were. The queen can tolerate him for a while, which is already extremely forgiving.

Looking at the legends led by Numan El next to him, his eyes met a gloomy middle-aged magician, the other party smiled and nodded in greeting, and Li Qi smiled coldly.

That is the legendary magician Simberner, one of the legends sent by the High Council to help the Queen.

Feeling that both the enemy and the enemy were very unfriendly to him, Li Qi withdrew from the hall and issued an assembly order to his subordinates.

Tina said dissatisfiedly: "Withdraw now, what a loss! There is still a whole wool warehouse that has not been robbed, the snow bear skin there is really amazing! enough to make a scarf for everyone!"

Richie thought for a moment and said to Tina, "You don't care, I'll let Catherine lead the team to grab ......"

While Theresia was negotiating with the leaders of the Northern Alliance, the looting in the Lion King continued. Because the leader of the team was the Archduchess of Transasia, who looked exactly like Theresia, the guards did not dare to resist or report to the top.

Truckloads of golden bushels, spars, magic materials, and rare materials, and even several litters of cubs of snow-walled griffons, just like that, arrived in the hands of Li Qi.

The magic convoy that rushed into the city quickly turned into a material convoy, and then transported to a temporary assembly place outside the city, where the teleportation team organized by the little dragon girl was instantly teleported to Tangus, and the teleportation team of the Fei Gong took over and sent back to Beta City.

"So far, in addition to the gold bushels, the other materials are estimated at about seven million gold bushels," Xiaolongnu sent a message, and did not forget to add a sentence at the end: "Ten percent of the transmission and valuation services! This is the lowest preferential price in history!"

Li Qi sent out a rising tone, and the little dragon girl quickly changed her words: "One percent! I have the courage to set a new record!"

The team all had to leave the Lion King City, and Li Qi tasted the harvest, thinking about Simberner's "missed hit", and said in his heart that when he arrived at Valentine Cathedral, the accounts in the small book should also be settled.

..................

"Prell defeated the Lion King, and the Three Northern Kingdoms surrendered. According to the terms currently negotiated, the Three Kingdoms will clear the forces of the Divine Court, join the Order Alliance, and contribute ten legends, hundreds of magic cannons, and thousands of high-level professionals. ”

"The Valentine Cathedral, which will be taken in a month at most, is the most pessimistic estimate without counting the variable of Prell. ”

Somewhere in a corner of the Lion King, a gloomy-looking mage is talking to an being through a teleportation ring.

There was a languid woman's voice, "Do you believe it now, Simberner? I said a long time ago that once Richie comes, the situation will change drastically. You've traveled in the outer planes before, and you haven't been in contact with him, so you don't know how capable he really is. ”

Simberner's tone was rather disdainful: "When you talk about him, your tone is always so ambiguous. Your relationship with him is so stiff that you don't even dare to face the queen next to him, is it all a personal vendetta?"

"I'm different, Hathaway. To the High Council...... No, for all magicians, Prell is a mortal enemy that must be eliminated!

"Ordinary people just stare at the magic guide gun and magic guide cannon, and this battle has a magic guide chariot, an automatic magic guide gun, and a magic guide machine gun, which are actually details. What really shook the foundation of the mage's interests was the Law of Source Stone Induction, the Law of Artur's Circle, and the new Magic Metal Smelting Technology!"

"The revival of magic technology is a good thing for magicians, but the dominance shouldn't be an outsider! You are still immersed in the dream of leading magicians to dominate the world through the High Council, and don't you see that the trend promoted by Prell is to turn magic into something that everyone can touch, learn, and use it for profit, and there is no longer a need for the High Council?"

"What's even more terrifying is that I even sensed the fluctuation of abnormal divine power in the magic net, like which god has made an agreement with the goddess of magic to use the magic net to develop new magic, which is absolutely intolerable!"

Hathaway was silent for a moment, and then said quietly: "That's why you can't help but attack Richie's team, aren't you afraid to expose yourself and let him turn against you?"

"No one can accuse me of intentional attack," Simberner said disapprerovingly, "Besides, I'm a legend, if it weren't for the big picture, I wouldn't have just made a little bit of a move, and it was Prell who should be careful." ”

"Your actions have nothing to do with me, or the High Council," Hathaway's tone changed to stern, "I will tell Theresia that your grandfather was killed in the Chaos Void by the Crimson Lady during the previous turmoil in the Storm Isles. ”

"Hehe, are you really scared?"

Simberner was a little indignant: "How can we magicians care so much about blood and kinship? There is indeed that factor, but the main thing is what I just said! Is the Supreme Council going to continue to sit idly by and let Prell dominate the situation?"

"Of course not," Hathaway said, "The High Council has sent a message to Theresia just now, telling her that the High Council has prepared ten Legends, ten legions of Demon Warriors, ten floating ships, and three hundred of the latest magic cannons, and she can join the attack on Valentine Cathedral at the first order." ”

"It's really ugly", Simberner said hatefully: "I have been procrastinating before, and when Prell forced the Northern Coalition to surrender, I quickly took out the old book." From Theresia to creeps and even civilians, I'm afraid they're all laughing at and despising us magicians. ”

Hathaway sighed: "The High Council just doesn't believe me, thinking that the battle of Valentine will drag on for a year or two." ”

Simberner added: "I ask to command a team independently, you know what it should be, and you know what I am going to do. ”

Hathaway was hesitant: "I have to find a lot of excuses to cover up such a secret proposal in order to do it in the council." And, do you really understand what enemy you're facing?"

"Richie isn't just a pope, he's not just a hero, and if I'm right, Catherine will always be by his side. ”

"On top of that, Lady Crimson has been given the Styx priesthood, and he's about to be promoted to a middle deity. Give Him enough time and he will surely become a powerful deity in the future. ”

Simberner chuckled: "Styx priesthood, that can only frighten people who have no knowledge, what is the use of the power of Styx in the main plane? It is only where the cycle of life and the Nether plane are connected, and the power of Styx can be regarded as powerful." ”

"Do you know why Prell has come to this point? It is because you are always indulging him that he and his gods are getting stronger. ”

"Now, I will let you know what a true magician should do at this juncture in history!"

Hathaway's tone changed to admiration: "Simberner, it's the first time I've seen such a sacrificial magician, you have touched me very much, and I will do my best to help you." ”
