Upon hearing this, Emperor Juss was furious and immediately ordered the veteran general Campbell to lead an army to conquer, and sent a team of more than two dozen magicians to assist the army.

The white-haired old general Campbell had fought with the barbarians when he was young, and he knew the barbarians very well, and he took advantage of the characteristics of the barbarians' simple mind and rough character, and at the beginning of the battle, he deliberately dispatched a small force of troops, and lost successive battles, so that the barbarians underestimated the enemy and were arrogant, and finally poured out to attack his main force. The old general showed his true strength at this time, and the barbarians he killed were defeated.

After the defeat of the barbarians, the old general was busy recovering the city of Baris, while sending troops to hunt down the remnants of the barbarians, the defeated barbarians under the leadership of Prince Badutura panicked, did not flee back to the cottage located in the western mountains, but all the way south, were surrounded and intercepted by the Yuss army, and finally cornered, they simply fled into the no-man's land of the Brussels Marshes, and the pursuers also rushed into it with meritorious service.

The Brussels Everglades is a high-risk area on the continent second only to the Cullen Mountains, not only full of pits, but also rampant water monsters, the rotting plants in the swamp nourished a large number of poisons, adventurers generally only dare to enter the edge of the swamp, even then it is easy to pay the price of life, as for the core area of the swamp is called the death zone, which is shrouded in thick fog all year round, and legend has it that the king of the water - Hydra lives there, but no one has ever seen its true face.

A total of more than 2,000 pursuers disappeared in the water town of Zeguo, and the army guarding outside did not see them come out, and the right waited for nothing to hear, and sent several groups of people to look for them, but the result was that even the people who went in to look for them disappeared together. Later, the veteran general Campbell received a report and directly ordered the abandonment of the team.

The fate of the barbarians and the Yuss army lost in the Swamp became a mystery that was revealed many years later, and once again brought great turmoil to the human world.

Leaving his missing men behind, Campbell continued to concentrate on the Barbarians, reclaiming the towns they had occupied through a series of skirmishes.

The barbarians' invasion of Yus was dealt a heavy blow, and the remnants were all withdrawn to the stockade in the mountains, but the barbarians were not completely defeated, when Yus's army passed through the dense forests and canyons, and stepped on the thick rotten leaves towards the cottage, they made full use of the time and place, and under the cover of the deep mountains and dense forests, from time to time jumped out from behind the rocks to give Yuss soldiers a knife in the back, or hid among the trees to release cold arrows, and the ground and sky were full of traps, so that Yus's army could not be defended.

In addition, the damp poisonous miasma in the mountains is pervasive, and poisonous insects, snakes and ants are rampant, although with the assistance of magicians, some of the effects of the miasma can be expelled, but many soldiers still fall ill, and the number even exceeds the attrition caused by casualties.

The war lasted for two months, and the Yuss army was not only fighting the enemy, but also fighting against the harsh environment, and even more so against their own perseverance, until the New Year approached, and the old General Campbell's army was still trapped in the mountains and entangled with the barbarians.

Both warring sides were somewhat exhausted, and in the end they had to sit down and negotiate, a truce was reached, Yuss withdrew his troops from the mountains, and peace was again achieved in the southwest.

In the eyes of Wittels, the barbarians are just annoying, and they can't do a lot of harm, and the Orcs have not done their best to attack, and Bernard, a victorious general known as the "Northern Rock" of the Empire, has been firmly blocking the orcs on the north bank of the Capra River over the years.

In the past year, the troubled times that Hollanster was looking forward to had not yet arrived, and the opportunity for the revival of the Gothas had not yet appeared, which both disappointed him and relieved him, after all, the ancient city of Otoku-gu was not fully prepared to deal with the troubled times.

"My lord, I have a suggestion, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

After the military meeting in the castle of Ogu, the participants hurried down the mountain to go home, but Alan stayed.

"Just say anything. ”

Hollanster said with a smile that he had been in a good mood lately.

"My lord, I suggest that the city-state join forces with Yus, attack the Holy See in the south and reject the orcs in the north. ”

Alan waited for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to say what Reinhardt had proposed at the beginning.

"Alan, you're not kidding, are you?"

A smile froze across Horanster's face.

"My lord, now Yuss is worried about internal and external troubles, even the barbarians have come out to make trouble, if the Holy See and Higg want to make a move on Yus, and then the enemy will be on the back of the enemy, I think Yuss is very likely to give up the defense of the north, and then the orcs will drive straight in, and even accelerate the rout of Yus, so that Yus will not only not play the role of consuming the Holy See, but the territory of half of the continent will fall into the hands of the orcs again, and human society will once again face the disaster of life. ”

Alan had been wondering how to be tactful, at least not to make Hollanster feel like he was on Yuss's side, so he had to think about it from the perspective of humanity as a whole.

"Alan, you're confused. The war will be bloody, and the blood of the innocent victims under the Holy See has been shed less? Has the blood of our mercenaries been shed less? and most importantly, if there were no troubled times, the blood of the Gothas would have continued. ”

"My lord, the strategy of taking advantage of the chaos is correct, but you can't risk letting the entire orc army go south. We are not afraid of bloodshed, but the shame of 300 years ago cannot be repeated, it must be changed. ”

"What about the orcs going south? The orcs have never been in my eyes, and we can just drive them out after we have gained dominance of the continent, our real enemies are Yus and the Holy See. ”

Hollanster's tone was arrogant, and he didn't even take the orcs in his eyes at all.

"My lord, I am worried that the orcs going south will only lead to endless wars, and then we will have no chance to take the lead in the continent at all, and in the end, no one will benefit except for the dire situation of life. ”

"So you want to give up the reins to Yous, and do you think Vettels will be more merciful to the humans of the continent than Hepburn?"

Holland's eyebrows furrowed, and the anger on his face flickered.

"My lord, don't forget that the Capra Pass is still in the hands of Yus, and there are still Yus's legions stationed there, do you think about it, if Yus is really in danger of losing his country, will their legions continue to hold on to the Capra Pass? Once they give up the Capra Pass, the orcs will inevitably take advantage of the situation to go south, and the entire ancient city of Ao will not be exposed to the orcs' spears and arrows. Rather than that, it would be better for us to take over the defense of Capra Pass from Yus. ”

"Take over Capra's defense?" The muscles in Holland's face shook violently, and then he said with a sneer:

"To put it simply, use your dragon bard mercenary group?"

"My lord, that's not what I meant. I want to ....."

"I know you didn't mean that. Hollanster interrupted Allen's words, his tone softened, and continued: "The strategy of the ancient city of Aogu is in the south, and the north has no practical meaning for us, you are still young and don't understand these things, I don't blame you, what you have to do now is to train your mercenaries, and one day we will be strong and strong, and we will fully support you if you want to fight to Hulamur Pass." ”

Speaking of which, Alan understands that the views of the two people are fundamentally different, he wants to keep Juss, but Holland wants to consume or even destroy Juss, and if he continues to talk, it will only make Holland even more angry, so he can only leave in disappointment.
