Chapter 250: The Blood Clan's Counterattack

The legions in the confrontation with the enemy on the northern border of the Duchy of Virginy were somewhat unstable, and although the knights with swords tried to track down the source of the rumors and brought many innocent soldiers to the court-martial, as long as the letters exchanged with the family in the rear were interrupted and not resumed, some people could not help but be afraid.

Grumbling, gossiping, and then irresponsible rumors, the order of the army gradually deteriorated unconsciously, especially the enemy in the opposite Principality of Maryland, who had changed their clothes on a small scale, and took advantage of the concentrated use of new weapons to take away several passes on the front line with dogs.

The strategic advantage is tilting towards the other side little by little, and as for the supreme military leader of the Duchy of Virginy, he has not come up with relevant countermeasures, and will only keep writing to the Grand Duke of Summer, complaining to him and asking for the transfer of a group of blood spell casters.

Unfortunately, the expeditionary legion led by the orc chieftain Kruren Shixin, under the banner of rescuing the enslaved people, created large-scale chaos in the country of Virgini, launched orc hard labor and slave uprisings, and the flames of rebellion gradually became one, quickly destroying the cornerstones of the ruling order - villages, farms, and plantations - at the speed of wildfire, and indirectly helping the Duchy of Maryland to gain strategic advantages.

Behind the scenes of the Duchy of Virgini, the real powerful man, the ruler of the night, and the Mellon family, which ranks fifth in the sequence of vampire titles, can no longer bear the fact that the territory they have been operating for many years is messed up by filthy and lowly beasts.

At the third closed-door meeting of the family this year, all eligible members, after several rounds of bargaining and arguing, unanimously agreed to send a hunting party led by the baron and composed of senior blood knights to carry out a bloody suppression of the rebellious slaves.

The rewards are quite abundant, and the resources for the promotion of the blood barons include pure blood sources, vast desert territories, 20,000 slaves under the patriarch's name that can be divided and transferred at any time, and blood secret arts that only the viscount can access.

As for the large number of blood knights, the Mellon family provides titles for promotion, and the qualifications for entering the noble rank are fully twenty-three, ten times more than in previous years.

After the promulgation of the generous reward order, the low-level blood clans who were originally hiding in the coffin of the cemetery and were unwilling to mix with them were irritated to their eyes reddened, and they actually formed a hunter team on their own and began to strangle the lone orcs.

This cold wave originating from the Mellon's family residence, the Spruce Mountains, announced the arrival of winter in advance. The flames of resistance ignited by the orc expeditionary legion with blood and death were mostly extinguished by this countercurrent.

The most cherished honor of the orc warriors became a very obvious mark, and as these veterans of many wars died in battle and quietly disappeared in the cold and unforgiving storm, the orc uprising, which once occupied a small part of the Duchy of Virginie, fell into a low ebb.

As for the expeditionary corps, whose territory has shrunk seriously and can only be replenished a little, life is becoming more and more difficult. The morale of the growing number of wounded was gradually low, and the lack of medical care and the lack of sufficient reserves of medicinal herbs made the generals watch as the young men under their command were exhausted and died of their wounds.

Although Kruren Stoneheart had been mentally prepared, he did not expect the counterattack of humans and bloods to be so fierce, and he did not intend to let the orcs live at all.

Overseer Krum Roar concentrated his superior forces, and about 5,000 mortal-minded mourning troops forcibly captured the main city of Count Fair-Munster, the most senior Count of Virginie.

The Double Musket Regiment and the Mortar Squad led by Ian McCallane made a remarkable contribution to this battle, not only blowing up a dozen gaps in the front wall of the long Lish, but also harvesting the lives of more than 100 invading Blood Knights.

The blood knight, who held his own bats and wings like steel, was hit into a leaky sieve on the spot by the lead bullets fired by the flintlock pistol, and even the body of the undead was full of holes, and the blood in his body gushed out, and he couldn't stop it with his hands.

Aldrich Tris, who has a body of steel, does not dare to act recklessly on the battlefield, and the children of the blood clan are so arrogant that they suffer death at their own expense.

For the vampire nobles who have the secret art of the blood clan, the alchemy magic bullet that has been developed has long been developed, and the three-edged spiral warhead is cast in one piece, which is extremely penetrating, and at the same time, the gun bullet that deliberately opens the blood groove will make the undead with amazing self-healing power lose more blood before the wound is completely healed, resulting in excessive physical wear and tear of their physical strength, and they have to withdraw from the battlefield in advance.

Vonibel, a druid master who was supported by Count Fair-Munster, has a high affinity for the earth element, and through the talent of an animal companion, he has the ability to transform into a giant bear.

This three-bladed tall Storm Bear Lord, clad in palm-thick rock armor, has repeatedly rescued in the line of fire at critical moments, not only blocking the gaps in the wall that have been blown down by artillery, but also using his burly body, unrivaled brute strength, and extremely keen wild instincts for danger to block the orc warriors' advances.

Unfortunately, due to his over-active presence on the battlefield, Druid Master Vonibel was targeted by Ian McCallane, who commanded a mortar squad aimed at the Tyrant Bear Lord's newly repaired wall, firing fragmentation projectiles with stinking cloud runes inside.

Dozens of black fish-marked cannonballs, sliding across the near-perfect parabola, fell on the giant bear in rock armor, keenly catching the thick malice, he originally wanted to roll and dodge, but the guards who were still fighting around him, rushed from not far away to replenish the troops, the soldiers who reorganized the defense line, and the invisible sense of responsibility made his feet firmly stick to the place.

As a result of the hard resistance, the thick rock armor was directly blown away by the metal storm, and the body of the thick-haired master druid was full of wounds, although there was no blood flowing everywhere, but because his physical strength was almost exhausted, Vonebel could only regretfully withdraw from the battlefield early.

The stink clouds triggered one after another tomeled many city wall guards and family warriors, and the master used the few sources of spell casting to call for a natural storm, which simply changed the wind direction in the local area, turning the deadly hazard into a sharp weapon for retreating the enemy.

However, this is the end of his wonderful performance, the defenders who have lost their master casters, after holding out for half an hour, the city wall is finally bombarded by artillery.

Without the help of the druid masters, the sand, rubble, and rock blocks were piled up and filled, but it was difficult to merge into a part of the city wall, and was forcibly pushed away by the orc warriors, and finally attacked the main city of Count Munster.

The morale of the defenders suddenly dropped, but the orcs, who had become mourning soldiers, suddenly became a great momentum, and the warriors who rushed in continued to rush in did not rush to retaliate and kill, but formed an array to stabilize the situation, tearing the small wounds and making them larger.

According to the judgment of the situation, the commander of the Munster family must not shrink his forces to defend, so he can only send reserves and throw into the gap like a grinding disc of flesh and blood, and fight the orc warriors head-on.

The addition of this new force almost turned the tide again, but the musket regiment led by Ian McCallane began to advance, occupying the high ground of the city wall and pouring a large amount of ordinary lead bullet on the last hole card of the Munster family.

In the face of gunpowder-propelled bullets, the killing skills were honed, and the knights in strong armor were no different from ordinary guards, and they burst into blood-soaked and muddy ground with no value.

Aldrich Triss continued to watch with a blank face, as the hot weapons were gradually put into use on the battlefield, the knight group that had once decided the outcome of the war was already at the end of the day.

There may still be a way ahead, in the new armies of the great powers that have changed the military system, they will act as the backbone of the grassroots and the component of the command system, and receive a good salary to get by, instead of maintaining the dignity of knights by relying on the income of the territory.

As for personal force, unless you reach the current level of Aldrich Triss, you can't play much role in a large-scale war, and the best place to go is to transfer to special forces such as elite scouts and jungle rangers, which must be able to reflect their value in the field of secret fronts such as infiltration and counterintelligence.

Aldrich Tris secretly guards the orc overseer Krum Roar, at least to ensure that the blood-colored banner adorned with the Horde's insignia stands.

The person who can kill and capture the flag under the nose of the Virtuous Knight, at least in the main city of Count Munster, is certainly not! Even the most likely Druid master Vonebel has withdrawn from the battlefield, who can destroy the morale of the orc legion in the shortest time?

After the orc warriors broke through the city wall and entered, the morale of the defenders fell rapidly, perhaps they felt that they had fulfilled their obligations, or perhaps they could not see the dawn of victory, and the hope of turning defeat into victory suddenly collapsed during the fight, and turned around and became a shameful deserter.

Some of the people with bad personalities and extreme selfishness even brandished their weapons to kill those who stood in their way, regardless of whether they were enemies or enemies, trying to escape from this huge flesh millstone.

The countdown to the fall of the Munster family's home city is predictable, and it is predictable that the next step will be a revenge killing, after all, Overseer Krum roared and raised the blood-colored battle flag, and entered the city without sealing the silent ******.

"It's just a reflection of the sunset!" Aldrich Triss's face did not change in the slightest, and he recounted the embarrassing situation facing the Orc Expeditionary Legion today.

"The Duchy of Virginy, whose terrain is mainly mountainous and hilly, seems to be very strong in terms of land size, aristocratic groups, number of plantations, commoners, slaves, and economic power, but in fact it is not at all the same grade as its neighbors. Don't look at our capture of the transit supply lines along the river such as Cambert Territory and Black Castle, the war supplies on the northern border of the Duchy of Virginy are only slightly affected, and the neighboring allies will support them by sea, and they will definitely not ignore him falling first. ”

"Therefore, when the flame of resistance is gradually extinguished by the counterattack of the Bloodline, the Expeditionary Legion should abandon unnecessary honor and make a strategic detour at the appropriate time. ”

The Orc Overseer Krum snorted as he roared, "Where else can we go? There are enemies everywhere! Human rangers, bloodline hunters, hide in meadows, jungles, swamps, where murderous motives hide. ”

He shook his head vigorously, if it weren't for the chieftain himself, he would definitely be the first to rush to the vanguard position and fight the human slave masters.

"Listen to me, save part of the fire, go where they are needed more, and rescue more of their enslaved compatriots, instead of clinging to the Duchy of Virginy. Do you want to see a multitude of people suffering under the whips and shackles of the slave owners? ”

No matter how stubborn Krum Roar's straight mind was, he was finally persuaded by Aldrich Triss, and he nodded his head a little helplessly, but also a little with joy.

"Virginy's neighbour, Lotrun, with its blue pastures, had a large number of farmers, and the life of the slaves was very difficult, and perhaps it was a fertile land. ”

"The flame of rebellion against the tyrannical rule of the slave owners is temporarily silent in Virginie, and some of the fire that has not been divided will be kindled in the steppes where there is dry wood everywhere. Crossing the barrier of distance, uniting the oppressed orc laborers and slaves everywhere, we will eventually overthrow the corrupt and depraved slave masters. ”

"I'm convinced!"
