Chapter 215: Charm
After a few days, Richard knew what Freya wanted to do.
In this war, there is a large gap in the number of people on both sides, but in terms of quality, Richard's soldiers are superior, and they may be able to rely on buildings to resist in the city, and they are completely slaughtered in the wild. Freya knew this, so she used the same tricks she used to create chaos everywhere.
The trick I used at the beginning was to confuse. Recently there have been betrayals by soldiers in various regiments. It is understandable that only the newly formed soldiers recruited from the occupied areas have defected, but it is very incomprehensible that the main army that has been following Richard from the beginning to the whole has also defected, and even some male Naga have launched attacks on their own people, which is even more difficult to understand. After being tossed for a few days, the army was panicked, thinking that Freya had instantly confused Richard's guards during the meeting, and it was already clear who did it.
But what kind of method did she use to make these soldiers turn against each other? Neither the original guards nor the new soldiers could tell, the memories of these people during the defection were very vague, they couldn't ask why, there were no wounds on their bodies, and the only thing in common was that they were all males. Richard has a headache now, and he can't use his divine power to protect every soldier?
"Lord Richard. I found something very interesting today. ”
Primatis approached with a clear bag, and Richard saw that the bag had an object that resembled a needle.
"What's that?"
Plimatis, holding the needle through the bag, said, "This was found in the back of an officer." When I was on patrol today, I noticed an officer with a reflection of the light behind his back, so I walked over and found that he had these two needles stuck in his back. I pinched one, and the needle melted in my hand, and I was in a state of confusion, thanks to the crystal made by Diluka, which cleared my mind. After that, I removed the other needle with tweezers. Based on my condition, I surmise that this needle is the culprit that is causing the internal disturbance of our army. ”
Richard took the bag, and energy floated out between his fingers and wrapped around the long needle through the mouth of the bag, and after a short while, Richard said with certainty: "It seems that your speculation is correct, and it contains Freya's divine power." This is supposed to be one of her attacks, or a god outfit trait. She must have used this to control my guards during the meeting. How could she have used this skill in such an instant? By the way, this needle was stuck in an officer's body, but what about that officer?"
Primatis replied, "The officer was wearing dragon scale armor, and the long needle did not penetrate the armor and enter the body, so the long needle did not melt away, and we successfully saved it." ”
"Can this defense be mass-produced?"
"Yes. Primatis nodded heavily, "Although we don't have that many dragon scales, we have enough hides, which can be added to the existing soldier's armor and can be picked up to have a certain resistance to shooting." ”
"Then as soon as possible. ”
"Yes, I will mobilize all the officers and soldiers to sew new armor for themselves. ”
Richard nodded, his soldiers not only performed well in battle, but also in life, each of them was an excellent tailor, builder, repairman.
"Also, disrupt the Naga and send the female Nagas to the various units, since the charms are all male, then we will use more female soldiers!"
Primatis took the order, and Richard always had a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart, could the goddess's attack be prevented like this?
Richard and the others moved quickly, the soldiers and officers of the various legions added animal skins to the armor, and Freya, who had been secretly causing disturbances, did not appear so far, and Richard decided not to be beaten passively, but to take the initiative. The main army went straight to the capital of Fluk, and several new regiments were also assigned to be responsible for reinforcements.
And that's where the unexpected happens.
Richard and the others have been pushed to the vicinity of the capital in the past few days, and there is only a medium-sized city in front of the first time, and if they break through her, the capital will be lying naked in front of them. So Richard increased his offensive forces, however, the unexpected happened.
Freya, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, returned, and standing in front of her was the mercenary who had been coming from Grayz and belonging to Richard's new formation. Freya's body is now constantly overflowing with divine power, and under the light of divine power, these mercenaries are incomparably singing forever. Looking at Freya's continuous release of divine power, Richard knew that this mercenary was finished. Unless Freya is hit, this group of mercenaries will not get out of control.
"Assault the whole army! Rush through in one go! Don't show mercy!"
Having come to this conclusion, Richard ordered the troops to attack. And Richard's troops were unrelenting, showing no mercy to the fact that they had once been his comrades. It also deterred the recruits who were about to move, and Richard was never soft on those who betrayed, for whatever reason.
In this assault battle, Richard personally led the team to attack, and Richard's whole body was also filled with the divine power he had snatched, protecting the soldiers behind him. On Freya's side, it is difficult to launch an offensive with divine power, and launching a counterattack may bring these controlled warriors back to their senses. I can only choose to go toe-to-toe with Richard. The outcome of the battle was obvious, as Richard once again drove Freya away, and the army was one step closer to victory.
Fix the last stronghold before attacking the capital in a moment. Plymatis walked over with another clear bag.
"Lord Richard, there's a new discovery. ”
Richard looked at the bag, "This time it's an arrow?"
Primatis nodded and said, "That's right, this arrow was found on the mercenary who just fought with us. Unlike the Silver Needle, this arrow does not melt, which is Freya's improvement against our increased protection. As a result, it is difficult to have armor that can protect against Freya's attacks except for high-level armor. And the power of the arrows is even greater, and each of the mercenaries we captured has no memory of that time, and there are still vague memories of being pierced by long needles, and those who have been pierced by arrows don't even remember some of the previous things. ”
Richard frowned, it has reached this point, retreat is categorical, only attack, but Freya's new trick is very disgusting. Richard hesitated for a moment, and summoned Onexia.
"Primatis, now we only have to attack, I will personally do the reconnaissance, you will command the ground forces, and the stronghold in front will be taken down no matter how big the price of the comeback!"
