Chapter Seventy-Two: See the Holy Maiden
After the retreat of the Seven and the Bloody Knife, the army successfully withdrew to Ostachia. At this time www.biquge.info there were less than 2,000 people left in the Salvation Army, and more than half of them were disabled, so it can be said that they suffered heavy losses.
The casualties of the combined forces of Ordesia and Kelzenos were not small, although they only broke through the line and left the battle for such a short time, but the number of casualties was more than a thousand. The wars of this world are attended by elves, which are very unfriendly to ordinary people.
On the other hand, the casualties of the Demon King Army are not few. Although the coalition forces can't be counted, the preliminary estimate is more than 5,000, including many of the main elites.
In this rescue battle, if you look at the side of Ars Town, the coalition can be said to have won a considerable victory.
However, the Kingdom of Holy Lukia suffered a big loss.
Their original plan was to feint to withdraw their troops after a little fight under the city of Celal, but what they didn't expect was that the spies of the Demon King Army found them almost as soon as they set foot on the road to Celal and reported to the town of Ars, and the Demon King Army immediately drew reinforcements to come back, and when they arrived in Celal City, they were greeted by Celal City's own army and the reinforcements of the Demon King Army, which were almost defeated, if they hadn't seen the opportunity to withdraw quickly, maybe they would have been wiped out.
The Salvation Army was rescued, and the army of the Holy Lukia Kingdom was defeated again, and the coalition army still suffered a loss in general, which made the coalition army not laugh very much.
But fortunately, the saint has returned, so everything is possible.
In the Duke Lauren Frost's Palace, Lin Yuedong and Li Qinglan were planning their next move.
"The Holy Maiden has returned, and the army of the Kingdom of Nokia has been defeated, and now the coalition forces on the Western Front should be in charge of the Kingdom of Aldesia. This is a good thing, but the current strength of the coalition will be much worse than before, and it may be difficult for us to act next. Li Qinglan said with some concern.
"It's not in the way, we have suffered a lot of losses, which can be used as a premise for pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger." Lin Yuedong thought for a while and said, "Showing the enemy weakness is also a very important art of war. β
"It's one thing to show weakness to the enemy, it's another thing to be really weak. Although the Lauren Frost army has gone south, we all know that there are not too many of them, if the Demon King Army does not know that they have gone south, it will be fine, and now that the Demon King Army's troops going north have been completely annihilated, fools know that the Lauren Frost Army is going out of the mountain, and they will definitely be prepared. Li Qinglan said disappreciatively.
"That's not necessarily, although the coalition is weak, I may have another hole card in my hand." Lin Yuedong said confidently.
"What do you mean? Do you have any hole cards yourself, and you don't know yourself? Li Qinglan said strangely.
"Oh, senior, I mean, I don't have this hole card yet, but if I keep trying, I might be able to do it." Lin Yuedong explained.
"Well, I'm looking forward to it, where are your hole cards. Just in case, I'll start by saying that although that Shamandar is a very powerful elf, there is no way for a single elf to reverse this war, not even the holy sword in the hand of the saint. Li Qinglan reminded.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to bet everything on that second goods." Lin Yuedong felt speechless when he thought of this Shamandal, he really wanted to knock her on the head seventy or eighty times and knock her smarter.
"Speaking of which, the Holy Lukia Kingdom was obviously very careful when it set out, why was it discovered so early?" Vivica, who had been listening to the side, suddenly asked.
"What about this......" Li Qinglan and Lin Yuedong smiled when they met, but neither answered.
Whoever benefits is the mastermind, the Holy Lukia Kingdom has lost so badly, the first beneficiary is the Demon King Army, and the second beneficiary is the Aldesia Kingdom. Then it is clear who did this.
Rather than having such an alliance that drags its feet, it is better to rely on your own efforts, at least without worrying about the knife from the back.
It can only be said that he is worthy of being a man with the name of a blood lion, Lin Yuedong and Li Qinglan only made a few suggestions to use the Demon King Army in their original plan, and Duke Elsstein did not hesitate to turn them into reality, regardless of the threat he was still facing the Demon King Army, which was really courageous.
As he was talking, a herald suddenly came to report that the Holy Maiden had been invited, and specifically named the four guests who had come to the Duke of Lauren's Frost Mansion two days before.
Li Qinglan and Lin Yuedong looked at each other. They were completely sure that the saint was not looking for Ysera and Vivica, but for herself.
Who told them to fight with Seven and the Blood Knife in full view of everyone before? There was suddenly such a powerful elven envoy in the coalition army, and the fool knew that he had just arrived, and there were only four of them in the entire Aldesia.
If it were someone else, maybe she would think that the saint was planning to find the four of them to be rewarded. But Lin Yuedong and Li Qinglan will not be so naΓ―ve. They are now nominally subordinates of Duke Lauren Frost, and the reward should also be from the Kingdom of Aldesia, and the saint summoned him directly, most likely for other reasons.
For example...... Male elves make something.
This identity is really inconvenient in this world......
However, it was impossible not to go to the summons of the Holy Maiden, so the four of them simply cleaned up and followed the herald straight to the command post of the coalition army.
In the conference room of the command post, the four of them met with the Holy Maiden Alessia Idoris, and next to them were several powerful figures such as the Duke of Elstein, the Duke of Farlangerto, and the Grand Duke of Kelzenos. It is worth noting that the cardinals and generals of the Holy Lukia Kingdom are not here, and it seems that they have been ruled out.
"Duke Lauren Frost's subordinate knights Ysera, Vivica, subordinate soldiers Jonas, Yannick, see the Holy Maiden, participate in Duke Elsten, see ......"
As soon as Ysera entered the room, she made a knightly salute and said aloud.
But as soon as she was halfway through speaking, the holy woman on the throne had already stretched out her hand to stop her: "Okay, let's skip all this red tape." I know all four of you, so I don't need to introduce myself. β
"Yes." Isera answered, and glanced back at Lin Yuedong and Li Qinglan with some concern. The daughter of the Duke of Franker knew that Lin Yuedong and Li Qinglan were male elf envoys, and the saint said that she knew the four of them, most of them just knew their appearances.
Sure enough, the holy woman said in the next sentence: "Those two male elf envoys, please explain your intentions from the beginning. β
