Chapter 162: I'm Wu Sangui

The victory came completely by surprise......

For the multinational coalition army, although Rohan has changed from the "country of hussars" to the "god of war", ninety percent of their armies are made up of refugees...... If a large group of beggars together can be called an army.

For any of the generals of the Multinational Alliance, this is their favorite war, think of it, after several great battles, the casualties of the army are minimal, but in the notes of the field recorder, everyone can leave a mark that is enough to be proud of for a lifetime, boasting of the great achievements of several generations......

"On March 18, 3018, the Generalissimo of the Duchy of Cavanagh, Lord Marquis Brooken, personally led 381 elite knights to participate in the crusade war, and met the regular army of Rohan in the Wind-Breathed Meadows, and annihilated the enemy army in a battle, killing 1,568 people, no prisoners, and only 45 casualties on his side......"

"On March 21, 3018, the Principality of Montenegro allied forces with a total of 987 hoplites, 558 archers, and 154 knights, and encountered 5,213 Rohan's army in the gravel canyon, and annihilated the enemy army in a battle, without prisoners, and suffered a total of 356 casualties on their side......"

"Middle-earth, Tertiary 3018, April 2, Forest Alliance ......"

……

Illustrious figures, heart-warming sounding feats, valuable military exploits at their fingertips, all they had to pay for was when the scouts found a horde of ragged, almost unarmed refugees rushing towards them like madness, and then they could leisurely set up their formation, and after the archers had wiped out most of the beggar army on the opposite side, they would send their cavalry to charge and trample on them, and finally the infantry would finish...... That's right, it's that simple, you don't need to mobilize before the war, you don't need to arrange troops, you don't need to worry about traps. There is no need to fear ambushes...... The commanders of the coalition forces don't even need to use their brains. All you need is a child's playful order, and the troops to which you belong are slashed with a knife.

It is not surprising that these fanatical believers are almost always made up of refugees who have lost their loved ones. It can be said that there is truly nothing, but everyone is not afraid of death, and it can even be said that almost everyone is looking forward to death.

Under such a strange mentality, they deliberately put themselves in a disadvantageous situation almost masochistically, and even actively refused assistance from Rohan's regular military. And as soon as the whereabouts of the coalition forces are discovered, these "suicides" will rush forward desperately, waiting to be killed with joy, and then the soul can leave this painful world and go to the heavenly kingdom full of joy. The Kingdom of Heaven in Ririn.

Although the results were brilliant, the killing was extremely happy, and the battle line was advancing steadily, the multinational coalition did not really think about destroying Rohan and occupying this land...... It's not that they don't have the ambition, it's because there's no need for it.

Although the land of Rohan is vast. But most of the area is highland and mountainous, and the land is barren. It is impossible to grow crops, but what is worse is that Rohan has never had true peace since ancient times...... The barbarians who had been driven out of their homes by Rohan's ancestral forerunners, the orcs of Mordo to the southeast, and the now betrayed the light.

The war between Rohan and them never stopped, in other words. In fact, Rohan has always been like a great wall, guarding the safety of these small and medium-sized principalities, the lords of those principalities. No matter how stupid he was, he wouldn't have bothered with Rohan's idea.

In their original plan, the coalition forces only had to fight all the way to Rohan's capital of Edoras, completely destroy the foundations of the Temple of the God of War, capture the largest Pope Lilin, and if possible, plunder a small amount of wealth and capture a few Ente shepherd slave girls...... That's enough. When the time comes, they will be able to openly support a descendant of the royal family with Rohan's royal blood to succeed the king, so that Rohan can fully restore the way Rihan was before he came here, continue to be their umbrella, and then the coalition army will calmly withdraw amid applause and flowers. Of course, from now on, there will never be a Lilin, and there will be a "Temple of the God of War". …,***************************************************************************************

Considering that Rohan's main force was all dragged across the border by Issinger's army of strong orcs, unable to get out, such a strategic goal did not seem difficult to achieve at all.

In fact, the supreme commander of this multinational coalition is actually the long-missing former prince of the Rohan Kingdom, His Royal Highness Xiyude, who once committed the crime of killing his father.

And this unprecedented intervention against the Temple of the God of War started with the bizarre riot in the original Principality of Lowe, and then to the consensus of more than a dozen principality leaders to jointly form a multinational coalition to conquest...... The black hands behind all this are all pointed to His Royal Highness the Prince.

It was he who was the first to be keenly aware of the threat posed by the extraordinary expansion speed of the Temple of War to the surrounding royal nobles, and it was he who showed extraordinary eloquence and united to persuade every short-sighted, timid and stubborn principality leader one by one, telling them that if they did not take action, then their subjects would eventually only have the Pope in their eyes, and there would be no Lord...... If it weren't for Prince Hiyud, even if the Temple of War would eventually stand on the opposite side of these royal nobles, it would never be so fast.

*****************************************************************************

But...... Everything went so well......

Among the commanders of the coalition army, handsome and tall, but already dyed with a bit of vicissitudes and a little melancholy, Prince Xiyud, who looked more mature, was silently in a daze in front of a map in the dim light of a few candles.

Today, a team of Zealots from the Temple of War was successfully annihilated, and the coalition forces were only one step away from the final strategic goal, Rohan's capital of Idoras. Victory, it seems, is within reach.

But this is not a good thing for Prince Hiyud, he has faced Lilin before, he has faced that demon, so he knows very well in his heart how evil that guy really is. How terrible, though his plan was always going well, to reclaim Rohan himself...... The day of recapture of Catherine is approaching day by day, but ...... Where does this uneasiness come from?

At this moment, the curtain of the handsome tent was lifted, and a middle-aged fat man with a rough face and luxurious armor walked in, without the slightest regard for the status of the supreme commander of Prince Xiyude's coalition army. He slapped him on the shoulder a few times and laughed loudly, "It's amazing! The army of our Principality of Montenegro has successfully invaded Idoras, and occupied there, occupying the Temple of Plum Plating ~~~! We're finally victorious~! Hahahahahaha......ha Siyud, you wait to sit back on the throne, but when the time comes, you must not forget the 1,000 best highland horses promised to the Principality of Montenegro. Oh, this time my army is fighting and going straight to Idoras. I forgot to say hello to you, the commander of the coalition forces, but it's not too late, is it? Hahahahahaha......ha

Although he was angry at the fat man's rude behavior. Although he is nominally the supreme commander of the coalition forces, in fact, His Royal Highness the Prince, who does not even have a loyal army of his cronies, is just a veritable "commander of the light pole", just a vase, and he really fights. No one will listen to him.

But now Xiyud was shocked by this new news and couldn't say a word......

"Captured...... How is this possible? Just with the army of the Principality of Montenegro? His Royal Highness's muttering fell on the ears of the middle-aged fat man, instantly darkening his face. He snorted heavily, squeezed out an unpleasant voice from his nose and said, "What? Could it be that the 'Marshal' looks down on our Principality of Montenegro like this? Don't forget who you can return to Rohan thanks to. But the current Prince Hiyud didn't have the time to pay attention to this guy, his mind was almost confused, his brows furrowed tightly, and he kept muttering to himself: "This is impossible! Even if the main army is all pressed on the border, Idoras still has at least one of the most elite legions of about a thousand men defending, and that is Rohan's iron cavalry...... How could it be so easy to be captured? Lord Marquis Bardo, didn't you meet any decent resistance when you attacked Idoras? Is there a god of war handmaiden there? ”

"Arrive ...... Resist? Yes? Why didn't I meet decent resistance? That's the capital of Idoras after all......"

This Marquis of Bardo, although he was so happy and had no one in his eyes, was not hopelessly stupid, and if he hadn't come all the way, victory would have come too easily, and he wouldn't have discovered the problem until this time.

In the long history, Idoras fell into the situation of besieging the city and destroying the country several times, but in the end he was able to turn defeat into victory.

It is not known how many corpses of invaders were buried under the city walls, and how much blood was spilled. It is by no means comparable to those refugees who are desperate and can only pin their souls on religion, even if there is no regular army without a single soldier, even if the civilians in the city spontaneously organize themselves and can hold out for a while with the help of strong city walls, not to mention that the headquarters of the Temple of the God of War is here, not to mention, there should always be one or two of the goddess of war maidens who are all composed of giantesses. But in fact, this time, they did not meet any decent resistance, except for the slaughter of many ecstatic fanatics, as they had done in the past.

This is so counterintuitive......

Just when Prince Xiyud's heart was surging with strong unease, he heard a sudden commotion outside the tent, as if the guards in charge of security had suddenly discovered the assassin and were rounding him up, as soon as His Royal Highness walked out of the camp, he saw a black shadow flash in front of his eyes, and in the next second, a flying knife shot at him.

How can you say that Xi Youde is also the leader of the small boss-level camp, if you don't count weapons, although the swordsmanship skills are not as good as the human emperor Aragorn, but the difference is not too much, especially after a series of huge blows, after the ups and downs in his life, his strength has increased by leaps and bounds, and the level has risen all the way, and he has reached the peak of the former King Rohan, the great hero King Xiyouton. Even if Lilin wanted to kill him now, I'm afraid it wouldn't be too easy.

Xiyude's face was calm, and he stretched out his left hand to catch the flying knife easily, and was about to throw it back, when suddenly he found that there was a strip of cloth tied to the flying knife.

Silyod's eyes lit up, and when he looked more closely at the assassin who was already getting farther and farther away, he only felt that the graceful back was so familiar, so kind.

"Everyone, go back to your posts, keep the camp safe, don't chase anymore!"

After making an excuse to break up the Marquis of the Duchy of Montenegro and be alone, Xiyude opened the cloth strip excitedly like a young man who received a love letter, and began to check, sure enough...... Catherine's graceful handwriting leaped up, but just the first two words of the secret letter that the swordswoman had sent to her at the risk of her life made Siyude's heart chill to the end.

"Run~~~!"

******************************************************************************************

In the marshal's tent of the coalition forces, all the generals of the principality who could be put on the table were all gathered together, but the atmosphere of idleness and cheerfulness of the past was gone, and in its place was a kind of panic and despair, as if the end was coming......

"What's going on? Where did Rohan's regular army, border guards, and elite knights die? How did you let the evil monster of Isenger go straight in? ”

A dignified-looking and dignified man had no temperament at this time, and almost hysterically slapped the table and scolded: "That Lilin, that group of crazy people! They were able to do such a thing~~~! Give up all the levels and let those zombie orcs drive straight in, oh my god ~~~! Is he going to abandon the country completely? Isn't our country about to be overwhelmed by these ugly zombies? ”

That's right, as Rielin said before...... "Don't they just want this country, they want to drive out my believers?" In that case, wouldn't it be nice to satisfy them......"
