Chapter 429: Battle Situation
Six days later, Mien received his first battle report from the front. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The 7th Army Corps and the 13th Infantry Regiment led by Scudder, as well as the 30,000 Kingdom Army led by Hogg, were trapped by the 200,000 troops of Enomosen in the southeast direction of Highland City, three kilometers away!
Heavy casualties!
It will take at least two days for the main force to reach Highland City, which has been driven for four days.
The latest news also came back from Rhodes' side, just as Samiyah expected, they encountered a surprise attack of 30,000 people on the side of the Golden Corridor, and after a bloody battle between the two sides, they did not move.
This narrow corridor area that can penetrate the hinterland of the other side will not be easily abandoned by either side.
And the focus of attention Chloe, according to Rod's description, is like a 'bloodthirsty madman'!
Standing in front of the window, holding the battle report that had just come and had a large stain of blood on it, and looking into the distance, a black-robed man was standing behind Mien respectfully at this time.
After a moment of silence, Mine's voice was calm, "Determine the supreme commander of Ainomosen in command of this war, and other heretics who hold power in important joints... Pick five of them, purify one every two days, and leave none behind. ā
The voice was hoarse, and the pitch-black mask with the blood cross was gloomy at this time, exuding a terrifying aura.
"I see. ā
As if all the animals who had just been sentenced to death were livestock, there was no emotion in the eyes under the mask, and they were extremely cold.
Slowly retreat into the corner and into a hidden, dark walkway.
With the sound of stones grinding, everything returned to calm, as if the black-robed man had never existed.
Looking to the far south, if those people learned that their families were all dead, how many would be willing to pay for this war, and how many would choose to quit out of fear?
Not only can he drive straight into the frontal battlefield with an overwhelming advantage, but Mien also has to minimize all losses!
At this time, the Holy See did not have to pay much to deal with Enomosen.
Walked over to the table and put down the war report, pulled the bell, and from time to time Domina came to the study.
Write down a warrant and hand it to the girl, "Take it to the Archbishop of the Sunnah, and ask him to select a hundred of the strongest clergy in the 'Holy Convent of Michel' and rush to the front." ā
Looking at the back of Domina who walked out of the room, Mien slowly put down the pen and stopped his eyes on the battle report, did he have to go into battle himself when the war had just begun?
...
And on the front line, Highland City.
Scudder and Hogg were standing in the tent at this time, their faces were extremely solemn!
Surrounding the plain area with a radius of six kilometers near Highland City, in just three days, day and night, the bloody battle and encirclement and suppression that made people feel suffocating and oppressive were like an incomparably huge meat grinder!
The 13th Infantry Regiment has almost been crippled, and the 7th Legion is no better, and the 30,000 Kingdom troops brought with it have also suffered more than 8,000 casualties!
The corpses of the soldiers killed in the battle have even been piled up all over the Highland City!
A river of blood!
In three days, the total number of casualties on both sides has exceeded 60,000!
For Hogg and Scudder, who had only fought in the north, the situation was far more tragic than they had expected!
Enomosen's army also seemed to have gone mad, and attacked for three days and three nights at all costs!
If this continues, it is a big question whether they will be able to hold out until the arrival of the main forces!
This time, they brought less than 70,000 people in total, and more than half of them were killed or injured in a short period of time!
And the most terrifying thing is that in Ainomosen's army, they saw the banner of the Vulcan Cult, and there were many low-level mystics among them!
From the mouths of the captured prisoners of war, what made matters worse was love.
A large number of court mages and Vulcan priests are still on the way!
It simply doesn't get any worse than that!
What kind of people are the mysteries, Hogg, who has been in contact with evil mages for a long time in the north, has lingering palpitations!
He still can't forget why the Roland people fell in the first place.
The heart is like a rock, and he regards mortals as mustard.
If they intervene in the war, if nothing else, it is very likely that those people will get rid of themselves as soon as they come!
And an army that has lost its leader simply cannot have any combat effectiveness.
Seeing Hogg's solemn expression, Scudder took a deep breath, "Your Royal Highness, we already have a cavalry squad that has successfully broken through, and if the Pope gets this news, he will definitely send reinforcements as soon as possible." ā
Hogg took away his hands from the table and straightened up, his face slightly haggard, "I hope so...... It seems that times have changed, as the Pope said. ā
"It's not just the number of people who are growing, but the adventurers... Even in the war, the shadow of the mysterious person can be seen. ā
Those beings with powerful mystical powers are not something ordinary soldiers can deal with, and although they can't slaughter an army yet, it is extremely difficult to keep them.
Yesterday on the battlefield, a Vulcan priest tried to sneak attack him, if it wasn't for the personal guards who sacrificed their lives to save him, I'm afraid he would have fallen by now.
A strong soldier covered in blood ran into the tent and knelt on one knee, "Your Royal Highness!
Scudder and Hogg looked at each other, and each picked up their weapons and walked out.
...
At the same time, the Golden Corridor.
Inside a makeshift barracks.
Rod was sweating profusely at this time, and he tried his best to suppress the crazy teenager under him!
"Chloe! Damn, don't you know me?!"
The young man who was suppressed by him let out a wild laugh like a beast, his skin exploded, and the surging spirit made all the holy knights and soldiers gathered here feel a chill in their hearts!
It's a monster!
The same drama happens every day, and many people are wondering who this young man of unknown origin is?!
At this time, a soldier came running up to Rhodes and said, "Lord Rhodes, those heretics have sent another cavalry force of three hundred men to provoke ......."
Before the words were finished, the soldiers already knew what was going to happen.
From fifty to two hundred, to ten knights!
Every time he was killed by this crazy teenager alone, how could the commander of such a shame be swallowed!
Today, in addition to the three hundred, there is one more silver knight!
Rod snorted coldly, "That's right, let this kid go out to vent his anger." ā
Then he said to the onlookers, "Open the gate, you guys disperse quickly, it's better to find a place to hide and don't show your head!"
Needless to say, all the onlookers dispersed.
When only Rod and Chloe were left, Rod instantly let go of Chloe's arm, reflexively ran out of the gate!
And Chloe, who lost his restraints, was like a hyena that smelled meat, roaring and chasing after him!
