154th Sula Battle Situation
While in Tyre, Muhathir saw portraits of Rikas, who were paraded through the streets chanting his and Shatiri's names and holding their heads. But to be honest, the portrait doesn't look like a real person at all. The real Rikas was a tall, muscular man with a burning look on his face, but a gentle smile. He was dressed only in crude leather, his bare skin was covered in dust and sweat, and he had several visible scars. The real Rikas and the guy with the halo behind his head in the portrait are like two people.
Several of the central figures of the Tyre Revolution - the former Templar Tysian, the leader of the Guardian Mage, Shatiri, the self-proclaimed great merchant from the future, Fovard, and the aristocratic great psychic Warlock Ekis, whom Muhati had all met before. Although these people have different temperaments and different ideals, they are all handsome for a while, and none of them are mediocre and incompetent. Mediocre and incompetent people can't survive in Attas.
Rikas was the last revolutionary leader the boy ever met, and he had heard a lot about the other party. Rikas used to be an ordinary slave gladiator, but he was lucky and good at learning. He survived the life-and-death struggles, growing stronger and stronger, but also accumulating dissatisfaction with the slave owners. He was the undisputed champion of the Colosseum of Tyre several times in a row, and had an unrivalled reputation among gladiators. After he met Shatiri, who had infiltrated the gladiator training ground disguised as a slave girl, the revolution came naturally.
Muhadi chose to say in a somewhat agitated tone, "You have always been one of the objects of my admiration, and it is a pleasure to meet the greatest hero of Tyre here." ”
"I'm not a hero, but I've had the privilege of fighting with heroes. Rikas listened to Muhadi's compliment and just smiled, "I guess you're looking for me to report on the military situation?"
"That's true. The young man nodded solemnly, and then told the news of the Witch King's coalition that he had seen in the depths of the desert, and Fahd listened to it, adding a few words from time to time. When he heard Muhati say that the Crazy Horse tribe had also joined the Witch King's coalition, a sneer appeared on the corner of Rikas's resolute mouth.
Muhati is good at words, so he quickly explained what happened on the road in a clear way. Of course, their original plan was to hunt down the Crazy Horse tribe, which of course was omitted.
After listening to the description of the two, Rikas nodded, and said, "I understand the current situation, but the Witch King coalition is walking slowly, and it will take some time for them to come here, so you can take a rest." ”
He raised his voice, "Nadal!
A soldier who was on guard heard Rikas's order and rushed over. Muhati asked, as if something had suddenly occurred to him. "Senior Ricas, when you first asked me, 'Who do you want to report?' Are there other high-ranking officers here besides you?"
Rikas looked at Muhadi curiously and explained, "Salafiste, don't you know?"
A trumpet sounded not far away, and the Murs, hearing this, immediately took their leave, leaving no further explanation. The soldier named Nadal took the boy and the elf to a building in the iron ore mining area, and although he spoke upside down and had no clue, he still understood what was going on after repeating it several times.
It turned out that after the revolution, because there was no slavery anymore, the dwarves, elves, praying mantises, and some human slave miners in the iron mine fled one after another. For a time, the output of iron ore was sharply reduced, which not only caused the income of the nascent ruling council to drop sharply, but also failed to equip the weapons of the new army. In order to solve this problem, it is said that Shatiri's teacher, Master Cotander, came up with the idea of creating an internal guard force to punish counter-revolutionaries and saboteurs. This particular internal guard has a large number of Guardian Mages, and its name is known as Salafiste.
Salafist sent back all the original miners, and many more, including many former slave owners who had been stripped of their property and status. They allowed the iron ore to flourish again, even beyond the time of the Witch King. Unlike the overseers who had been loyal to Karak in the past, Salafist not only used torture and torture to make the miners willing to descend into the dark red darkness underground, but they also used propaganda and promises to make the miners less desperate. Sometimes they even use enchanted magic to influence the minds of some people, which is known as the process of removing weakness.
Salafist also punished rebels by digging dungeons deep in the mines, the smallest of which were said to be the size of armor. After being locked in, the person is completely unable to move, and can only slowly feel steamed.
"The Cotander ** division is also here, but he is so busy that he can hardly be seen in front of people. Moreover, the people of Salafist are mute and do not communicate with outsiders. ”
Muhati thought to himself that this must be prejudice, since there are many Guardian mages who are members of this internal guard force, then they must not be mute, otherwise they will not even be able to recite spells.
"Forgive me for my curiosity," Fahd said to the soldier named Nadal, "but my friend and I are wondering why you are stationed here, and from what we've heard, aren't you supposed to be fighting guerrilla warfare against the Witch King's coalition in the outer deserts?"
Although he believed that Tyr would be able to thwart the Witch King's coalition, the situation did not seem to be very rosy now, so Muhati also pricked up his ears to listen carefully to what the gladiator soldier had to say about the battle.
"We have been harassing the flanks of the Witch King's coalition forces, and with our familiarity with the terrain, we have carried out many night raids, and we did slaughter a lot of the Witch King's lackeys at the beginning. ”
"But right now, it's a lot more difficult. The Witch Kings have sent wizards on magic carpets as the eyes of the army, and it will be difficult for us to gain a surprise advantage. Moreover, the witch kings activated the magic arrays in those giant siege towers, which greatly reduced their logistical pressure. We can no longer rob the Witch King's lackeys as easily as we used to. ”
The young man was a little curious, "Those giant siege towers have magic arrays in them, why do they reduce the pressure on logistics? Doesn't such a behemoth passing through the desert slow down the march?"
"I once heard Big Brother Rikas say that the magic circle inside those behemoths is used to open portals to the water elemental plane. You see that the witch king's lackeys always bring a lot of slaves with them when they fight, and those slaves are both miscellaneous servants for the army and consumables for logistics. Magic circles can drain people's lives, and portals can only last for a short time, enough to get a lot of water. The soldier bit his lip in disgust, and it was then that Muhadi noticed that he was not very old, only in his teens.
"A few days ago, we were ambushed in a canyon to ambush the lackey. At first, we fought very smoothly, and the enemy scouts and aerial eyeliners did not show us. We were in the middle of the opposing team, and many of them were head-struck, and blood soaked the sand in that area, and it was all theirs. ”
The slaves began to flee, followed by the mercenaries and vassals that the witch kings had paid for. The Witch King's descendants tried to stop them, but they were too few in number, and they were scattered by a large group of fleeing slaves. There was no way to organize a strong resistance, and at that moment I thought we had won. ”
But in the next moment, the tide was turned, and the Templars under the Witch King were engaged in battle. Most of the most powerful Templars from the three city-states had some magic in their hands, and they worked together to cast spells. The battlefield was immediately transformed, and I felt like even nature itself had come to life and joined the Witch Kings. ”
"After that battle, we had to retreat here to get supplies. And the Witch King's cubs don't dare to pursue us alone, so we're here now. The soldier said with some resentment, "But soon, we will fight back." No witch king can set foot on the land of Tyre alive!"
