Chapter 143: Sinan Pasha and His Old Buddies
It's midnight, and the desert, which should have been calm, is now in full swing.
The battle between the Knights Hospitaller and the Armin Orc tribe has come to an end.
"Armin the Brain Drinker is dead!"
"Whoever kneels will not die! Regardless of race, kneel down to avoid death! β
The situation was better than Wu Xin expected, most of the half-ogres had very limited dim vision due to the thickness of the non-human bloodline, but the Knights Hospitaller's flag bearers were very experienced, and they tied torches to the flagpole, and illuminated Amin's head on the other flagpole as clearly as the day.
Amin, a brain-drinker who once roamed the banks of the Nile for more than ten years and did many evils, has now become a tattered watermelon.
Now his brain was running wild, and his long tongue had been tied into a bow tie by the knight de Vrerich.
It was the knightess's revenge for his bad tastes, and there was not much demonic power in his blood, and the knight de Vrerich took a sip and regretted it.
She hopes to get strength and longevity from Amin, but it backfires, Amin is a demon, but not the pure demon that can give her strength, which makes her extremely manic.
Kessler's first attempt to soothe the knight of Deverrich was unable to calm her down: "This power is ............... I can't control her without my Lord's help. β
In the end, Wu Xin could only let her toss Ah Ming's corpse at will as revenge, and finally appeased the demon hunter.
Wu Xin didn't like her to be so vindictive, and the reason why Wu Xin allowed her to do so was because it was important for a creature like an ogre to feel fear.
His tragic death is a clear indication that the beast has been subdued and can no longer be evil.
The morale of the half-ogre was greatly damaged.
Wu Xin and the soldiers of the Knights Hospitaller chanted slogans together, shaking the morale of the half-ogre, which was already on the verge of collapse, and at the same time, the magic aura in his hands continued to light up, from high to low, and all his spell slots were cleared in turn.
After Amin's death, the half-ogres also had a brief bloody fight. An ogre with a high status, relying on his elite-level strength and his status as Amin's deputy, organized a wave of resistance, and withdrew from the battlefield in an organized manner with most of the ogres.
Then find a way to survive in southern Tunisia.
Wu Xin's remaining "Fireball Technique" played a decisive role, when the bright fireball exploded in the half-ogre horde. They disintegrated.
Wu Xin then continued to use the "Secondary Flame Ball" that did not require spell casting materials, and together besieged the elite-level half-ogre who shouted.
With Cassano's cooperation, this guy who wanted to get ahead was soon finished.
Cassano then no longer had to fight to the death, he only needed to protect the flag bearer with Amin's head.
After losing the "Fireball Technique" and the "Secondary Flame Ball", Wu Xin also has other magical attack abilities.
He danced with a fiery serpent on his hands. From time to time, the Half-Ogre warriors attacked him with axes and javelins, but none of them were able to break through the Grimace's protections.
Wu Xin unscrupulously exerted his ability in front of the half-ogre array, although his agility was still only at the level of ordinary people, but this attack method directly linked to the hand was much better than a light crossbow in any case.
Less than ten minutes after Amin's death, the half-ogres were completely defeated.
They want to escape, just like last time.
The nomads, too, had the same losses and values as last time, and this time they were less interested in pursuing their captives than they were last time.
This is also unavoidable. The spoils that Wu Xin gave them were so limited.
However, the difference from the last time is that this time, their numbers are too small and the state of the camel beast is even worse.
The Knights Hospitaller's horses were in much better condition, and the large amount of bean and eggs seized from Amin kept them very well, although only a few days' good food was enough to keep most of the half-ogres out of the battle.
Their horses and camels had been herbivored for days and could no longer run.
Wu Xin commanded his troops to spread out in formation, spreading out across the entire front of the battlefield, catching as many fleeing captives as possible.
Soon after the chase began, Wu Xin received an unexpected reinforcement.
Although the nomads of the Godafi tribe because of resentment. And there was no effort to pursue.
But along with Wu Xin, the Zuwara refugees actively participated in the pursuit.
From the beginning of the battle, most of the immigrants were scattered by the Half-ogres, and many of the old, weak, sick and disabled died in the chaos.
The rest of the young adults. They had put behind their minor differences with the Wu Xin group, and most of their locations were scattered, many of them on the ogre's escape route.
They all shouted the names of their families and the slogans of revenge, thwarted the fleeing ogres, and won a chance for the pursuers of the Knights Hospitaller.
Compared with ogres, Wu Xin's attitude towards them is not a problem at all. What really builds ethnic identity is never limited preferential treatment, but shared hatred.
The only thing that worried Wu Xin was that many of those half-ogres were beaten badly by angry immigrants.
Wu Xin will not stop them at this time, he values money very much, but recognition is more important than money.
Anyway, even if the ogre is dead, it has value, and the corpse is originally a source of spell casting materials.
After taking control of the battlefield, Wu Xin gave her efforts to Cormona's apprenticeship, and her whip would teach them their first lessons as slaves.
Wu Xin, on the other hand, found an opportunity to show Odd Kessler a large bag of paste that the female knight Devlich had copied from Amin.
This chief fire priest is also very knowledgeable.
"Hmm......... This feeling of richness and fullness must be some kind of core-level nutrient Yes, Ode Kessler was very unhappy that he was not as good as Sazastan, but he really couldn't say more about this nutrient, so he had to reluctantly add. "Sazastan should be recognizable."
At this moment, Wu Xin suddenly saw Ah Ming's broken head move, and then burrowed under the sand at an alarming speed.
Wu Xin shouted: "Chase!" β
However, just as Amin couldn't catch Sazastan at that time, Wu Xin and the others couldn't catch up with Amin.
Ah Ming shuttled like the wind under the sand, and he sighed in his heart, these three thousand fate points are really worth it.
His body will also recover, and the price is not too great, anyway, meat is always everywhere.
It's just that the other half-ogres are finished, and listening to the screams of his subordinates, he can't do anything.
'Hmph. I'm going to make you pay. As he ran towards Tunisia, Amin swore in his heart.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦.
The sun rises over the coastline and dawn is coming.
The port of Tripoli was filled with jubilation, and the residents were excited to watch the half-ogre slaves being escorted into the city.
Wu Xin rode on a white horse that had just been captured. Wave to the townspeople.
Everyone was delighted, but Father Erlan was especially happy.
The spoils of this victory were sure to attract the merchant fleets of Tunisia and Liguria.
It doesn't matter if the Ottoman Empire was sending troops to the Sultanate of Tunisia, it was impossible for the naval military operations of this era to completely block the sea trade routes, and the merchants were doing it for profit. Definitely dare to take risks.
For him, these half-ogres are labor, money, much-needed textiles and fuel for the coming winter, seeds and ploughing cattle for the coming spring.
Even though there was a loss of prices due to the crisis on the routes, the overall situation has improved dramatically.
This victory undoubtedly lifted the great crisis in the port of Tripoli, and this is the advantage of victory.
Wu Xin not only got the core-level nutrients that Cassano desperately needed, but also ate a tentacle of the Ottoman Empire into his stomach, and the nutrition of this tentacle was far more than a large packet of nutrients.
But even so. Father Erlan was still determined to take some eye medicine with Sazastan in front of Wu Xin, he was really fed up.
Even if the other party is a demigod lich, you can't treat him so arrogantly.
He said a few words to Wu Xin, and Wu Xin's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly took all the strong hands around him and went to the cliff where Sazastan was located.
"Hermit Bulsa, don't care about this small loss, it's just that you lost a few hundred ogres, the Ottoman Empire has a great cause, and this little chip is nothing at all."
"Sinan Hermit. I am not grieving for the small losses of the Ottoman Empire, but I am worried about the big plans of the mountains, the eldest son of the Great won great battles in the East, and it is said that the blood of the Persian warriors was dyed red from the Tigris. There can be no surprises in the battle of Tunisia, and it is a matter of life and death whether to attack the Habsburgs in the west or the Persian Empire in the east. β
"Amin is just a cautious means of containment, His Highness Hareddin's power is overwhelming, even if there is no means of containment, he will win. Unless the two Tunisian factions suddenly put aside all their contradictions and work together, they will have no other way but to perish. β
"I'm not worried about the Tunisians, it's the reaction from Spain, and if this round can't be won neatly, ............... later"
Bulsha and Sinam Pasha were talking in a small boat, so small that the two dignified hermits had to row on their own, but only in such a small boat could sneak into the port of Tripoli.
The defense system of the port of Tripoli was quite tight, and even more so after the "lighthouse" was lit in Sazastan, and it was impossible to approach the cliff where the "lighthouse" was located from the land, and it was only possible to dive in from the sea.
This is how Bulsa and Meredi approached Sazastan yesterday, but the demigod lich not only did not leak a drop of water on his own, did not give them any chance, but also provided Wu Xin with enough powerful reinforcements.
An elite-level priest, in a battle where the two sides put in a total of less than a thousand troops, is definitely enough to change the balance of the scales.
"That priest, judging from what you said about the ability of the flame to transform and shift, the most likely is Odd Kessler, the former head of the Flame Lord's church." Sinam Pasha also had a small black notebook with many priceless texts recorded on it. "At the time of the Lord of Flames, he had been building a large rear in Prague and never participated in the Battle of Buda."
"They never realized the true state of Buda, but the voter herself was to blame for this, and her wild words, haha, don't think about breaking the city before piling up the corpses of soldiers as high as the city walls? Hehe. "Speaking of which, Bulsha has a trace of smugness that cannot be concealed, and the Battle of Buda is also her proud work." The regent of Vienna, I would have liked to see the face they had when they learned that the Flame Elect was dead. β
"This time, we will let the emperor of Madrid also taste regret." Sinan Pasha said confidently. Hayreddin was extremely defensive of him, but he did want Hayreddin to win. "With Tunisia as a base, His Highness Hareddin will turn the entire east coast of Spain upside down, and you don't have to worry about Spanish retaliation. It would have been best to contain Spain's material resources in the Mediterranean, so that the emperor would not be able to send a large army to Vienna. β
Austria wanted to reclaim Buda, while the Ottomans wanted to take Vienna again.
They had reached the bottom of the cliff, and Meredi was still hiding in a slightly recessed hideout, watching their boat.
Seeing Meredi waving to them. Bulsha waved her hand as well, but said strange things. "Are you sure she's not your match in the water? I can't really help, she doesn't need to speak. β
"Okay, it's almost fine, if you get too close, it's terrible for her to jump into the boat all at once." Sinan Pasha said cautiously in the first paragraph, but he was very relaxed in the back, and he was absolutely confident in his ability to fight in water. "Today, unless His Highness Hareddin or Marshal Doria wants to save her, she will not have a way to live. Others, even if the Marquis of Bazin or Amerigo came, there was only a dead end. β
Khareddin was the number one powerhouse in the sea on the Ottoman side. And Marshal Doria, speaking of the consul of the Republic of Liguria, Generalissimo Andrei Doria.
Sinam Pasha thought that he was inferior to them, and he was determined by the two Spanish generals behind.
Sinan Pasha added: "Don't be presumptuous, Bulsha hermit, although your abilities are more threatening to the caster, you are not the only one. β
"Anyway, in the water, I really don't have enough weight, you be careful, anyway, she is a dark voter after all, maybe a little worse than the real election of the pope. It's not legendary, but there are definitely legendary tricks. Bulsa still felt uneasy, she knew that Sinan Pasha was only very good at fighting on ships as a ranger, and not like the great druid of Hayreddin. Take the sea as the home field. "We've lost the ogre detachment, and there can be no more surprises. It would be better if she had killed her from the Flame Church, anyway, it would have been better if Sazastan and Cassano had been killed or severely injured by her, and if she had been allowed to escape from our side again, it would be difficult to explain in front of the mountain. β
Sinan Pasha raised his eyes. Looking at Bursha, I wondered if the new hermit was deliberately showing that she was not very close to the leader's status, or if she was indeed under a lot of pressure.
In the end, he smiled and stopped thinking about the problem, after all, he had arranged everything, and he raised his hand and pointed: "Did you see it?" β
Bulsha looked in the direction he was pointing, but couldn't see anything.
"Can't see? It doesn't matter, I know that the voters of the dark day will definitely see the old fellows down there. "Sinam Pasha is confident, but also cautious enough, of course he is prepared, and underneath this small boat, there is an absolute master of water warfare." Don't worry, she won't jump down to die, only by climbing the cliff can she have a chance of survival, she is the strongest wanderer in the world after all, isn't she? Maybe you can kill three in and three out, and kill those warlocks and mages. β
Sinam Pasha was actually joking, he didn't see Meladyi at all, and even if she was a voter, it was impossible for her to take advantage of the stronghold guarded by Sazastan.
But this was their plan, as long as Meladyi broke through, then Tripoli's defenses would be severely damaged, and he and his fleet would reap everything regardless of victory or defeat.
The key is to make sure that Meredi chooses to break through upwards rather than downwards.
Bulsha tried to look at it for a long time, and finally saw a faint shadow, Bulsha could not see the whole picture of the thing clearly, but could roughly see an outline.
She looked up in surprise.
"Is this your animal buddy?" Bulsa couldn't name the thing, but she could feel its power. "But how can you afford to keep this? How did you raise enough sacrifices for your summoning? β
Sinam Pasha smiled but did not speak.
But Bursa suddenly understood something, she looked at Sinam Pasha, and said clearly: "This is the hand of Suleiman the Magnificent who controls His Highness Hayreddin, holding the reins of the shark............"
"Control is a word that doesn't fit the word, and I think guarantee is a better word." Sinan Pasha triumphantly said that of course Hayreddin would not like him, but he did not need the other party's liking.
Hayreddin was the strongest druid in the world, and Suleiman the Magnificent's relationship with him, of course, could not rely only on trust and the like, but also needed a "guarantee".
"But my real concern is whether this will hinder the plans of Suleiman the Magnificent, who valued the alliance with the French." The order to deal with Melaidi came from the Sultan of Xurem, and Sinam Pasha could carry out the order of the mountain without hesitation, but there were still some doubts.
Bursa relaxed Sinan Pasha said: "Rest assured, the French King FranΓ§ois's repeated requests to talk to the Emperor on an equal footing have annoyed the Emperor, Suleiman the Magnificent needs the French to contain part of the strength of the Spaniards, but he will never accept this equal alliance, he is the Sultan of Sultans, and FranΓ§ois is only worthy of dealing with His Highness Hareddin." β
In order to avoid equality with the French king, and to avoid accusations of alliance with the infidels by religious conservatives in the country, Suleiman did not have any direct diplomatic relations with the French king, and it was Hayreddin who contacted the French king.
As a result, Hayreddin received the title "King of Algiers".
Of course, Suleiman the Great's demand for equality upset Suleiman the Magnificent, who refused to even call Ferdinand I emperor, and in his opinion he alone was the only successor to the ancient Roman Empire, the Holy Roman Empire founded by the Germans, unworthy of being called alongside him.
This was the natural reaction of the Ottoman Empire to the overwhelming superiority of the European countries.
At this time, Bursa saw Wu Xin leading a large group of men and horses up the cliff, as if shouting to Sazastan.
She nodded in satisfaction, then yelled at the cliff, "Little Warlock, are you there?" I'm sending you a Christmas present in advance, come and catch the elect of the dark day, Meredi is at the bottom of the cliff, she killed your mother, burn her to death, please your god of fire.
