Chapter 109: Sixty thousand

Time passed little by little, and the group walked around the valley floor, carefully looking at the terrain here.

Zachar and Everea were still talking about the two gods.

"For those reasons, the Empire's research on shadow and phantom magic is extremely poor. Eveleia sighed.

"For example, the temple priests that the provincial temple has equipped for our legions, even if they use phantom magic, the estimated power is very small. ”

"In this respect, we are far inferior to the countries around us. A trace of sadness appeared on Evereya's beautiful face, "These barbarians have a very low level of civilization, slash and burn, lead beasts to eat people, and all kinds of bloody sacrifices emerge in an endless stream. ”

"Although because of this reason, their national strength cannot keep up with their land and population, but the development of extraordinary power alone really makes them go out of the other way. ”

With deep disdain on his face, Saga said, "Don't be afraid of crooked ways. ”

"It is indeed a crooked and heretical way, and it cannot be sustained without a foundation. Everea nodded approvingly.

"But when it comes to weirdness, these crooked ways are connoisseurs. Sometimes it's really unnoticeable for a while, and they fall for their tricks. ”

Regarding the extraordinary power of these barbarians, the Emerald Empire has always been very disdainful.

Because it is so crooked, basically those who cast this kind of spell will not live to be forty years old, and will die violently in the prime of life.

You must know that in the world of Labral, human beings and other life forms have very strong physical fitness.

This means a longer lifespan, although the medical conditions of this era are not good, and they are far from comparable to those of the twenty-first century.

However, the average life expectancy was only slightly lower than in modern times. This is also because of the continuous war, which caused a large number of soldiers to die, which lowered the average life expectancy.

For the human beings of the Lablar World, at the age of forty, although it is already on the downhill road, it is still very good in terms of physical health, and it will definitely not die suddenly.

This kind of evil art, the nobles of the empire naturally will not learn it.

Besides, what if you study?

Could it be that he could still be the opponent of the regular transcendents of the Empire?

The barbarian evil arts, there is only one word "trick" left!

In addition to this, there is nothing to praise for the barbarian's sorcery, which is why Zachar is so disdainful.

Moreover, Saga is still practicing the top secret books in the entire empire, and there are many secret techniques in the family, as well as a lot of technical combat skills.

Everea certainly understood why Zachar said that, because she thought so herself.

"This canyon is a place where natural negative energy gathers, and if you want to set up a magic circle here, you need at least five hundred priests, as well as some regular priests, and a high priest to preside over it. ”

"According to my estimates, it should be enough to hide more than 60,000 troops. Everea came to this conclusion by carefully observing the surrounding terrain and its special properties.

"Sixty thousand troops. Saga groaned, he didn't think it was enough.

After all, when the Governor of Chels set out on the expedition, the military strength of the provincial army group was still very strong.

At that time, the 40,000 troops, in fact, the most elite 10,000 people were naturally the regular legions of the empire, and they were also two regular legions carrying the imperial flag.

The four auxiliary legions with very combat experience are recruited by veterans who have participated in the war, and there is no result of low combat experience.

Even if the skills and tactics are lower, the problem is that the armies of the five kingdoms are very low in skills and tactics, and they are not much stronger than the soldiers of the Empire's auxiliary legions.

Even the remaining 10,000 people are small vassals or mercenaries who are active on various battlefields.

Although these cannot be said to be all soldiers, in fact, the auxiliary legions will bear the problem of food and grass supply.

However, the Auxiliary Corps is not a pure farmer after all.

Their duty is still to help the main army of the empire fight, and they will definitely not drag the main force of the empire back.

Under such circumstances, the armies of the Empire were completely annihilated.

Saga looked up and saw that the Imperial army had not been able to escape, and the terrain took up four layers of credit.

In all directions, there are only two roads in the north and south that can break through in this canyon.

The provincial army knows it, and the enemy knows it, and it will definitely set up many obstacles.

But as long as you can break through, it is absolutely impossible to be stopped again.

The River of Tanatos, such a complex terrain, the cave road with hundreds of turns.

As long as the soldiers escaped into it, it was really harder to find it than to climb to the sky.

However, until the final battle report came, no soldiers at that time were seen alive.

Then there is only one reason - all the soldiers who participated in the battle died in that battle!

There can only be one reason for this result. That is, the provincial group army did not succeed in breaking through the encirclement at all, and they were directly surrounded and killed.

The reason why Sagar came to this conclusion was because of one reason - in this battle, the Imperial army carried the Imperial flag!

If the provincial army group did not carry the Imperial flag, then even the regular legions of the Empire, the 34th Army and the 37th Army Corps, would collapse when a large number of comrades died.

Once an army collapses, it is the result of a rush to disperse, and the next process is the slaughter.

But Sagar could be sure that the provincial army would not be defeated for this reason.

Because whether it is the commander-in-chief Governor of Chels, or ordinary Imperial soldiers, they know one thing very well.

Even if he dies on the battlefield, the imperial flag must not be lost!

Otherwise, even if you can survive, you will suffer a worse end than death.

Entire families were deprived of the status of citizens of the Empire, and even entire families were reduced to slavery!

As soon as the soldiers perceive that the Imperial flag may be taken away, they will definitely fight with red eyes.

By that time, the fearless Imperial soldiers would be able to fight even to the last man.

Only death can keep one's family from disgrace.

Therefore, Sachar felt that only 60,000 troops of the five kingdoms were not enough.

Such a number of people will not make it impossible for the desperate Imperial army to even escort the Imperial Army flag.

But Evereya, a professional, has already said that it is about 60,000 people.

Sachar was not good at this, and could only choose to believe what Everea said.

Since there were only 60,000 men, Sachar estimated in his heart, so the quality of this army was much stronger than his previous estimates.

Are the Five Kingdoms already so strong?

Then he shook his head and denied the speculation.

"It seems that this time it's not just the alliance of the five kingdoms. Sagar was so amused that he thought, "Looks like this battle can be fun." ”
