146. The winner has been decided
The allure of equipment is even stronger than the money beauties of the soldiers of Nightshade Town.
These warriors have suffered too much from poor equipment, and if they could have had a burst of heavy armor, they might have been able to calm down when the ogres invaded, and they would not have suffered heavy casualties in the face of the Defia bandits.
So they robbed like crazy, some knights were still alive, they just picked up other people's equipment, those knights begged them to save his life, they basically just kicked the girl, kicked the girl and fainted and then still left there.
The chubby infantry also stopped charging, the screams of those cavalry masters just now were too terrifying, the army in the feudal era was the most morale-oriented, and when the morale fell to the bottom, it was not far from the rout.
Little Chubby was actually frightened, stupidly watching this scene, he didn't give the order to attack, everyone stopped moving, they watched people finish picking up equipment, and went back with dozens of horses whose legs were not broken.
"How about Lord Duke, is this thing worth four thousand soldiers?" After the airship fell, Althea walked up to the Duke with a grin, and Duke Solomon pouted noncommittally: "This thing is just a one-time item, and if there is a mage priest present, I am afraid it can be easily handled." He was still surprised just now.
"It's true that even a barrier that shatters at the touch of a finger can protect against these dusts, but in our human realm, there are only a few spellcasters, and they can't take care of everyone. ”
"Even so, this thing is too dependent on airships, if they sink your airship......"
"There are only a dozen griffons in the Stormwind Kingdom, and with a musket on each of our airships, they can't threaten us at all. ”
"Hmph, you're a little too confident......"
..................
"How could it be!How could this be!?How did he command!How did he command it!Actually lost all the heavy cavalry in a single look!Is he a pig!?Pigs are not as stupid as him!" Anthony roared angrily, constantly insulting the fat family.
"Father, dissipate your anger, the top priority now is to solve them as soon as possible. ”
"Solve it, how to solve it!?Bolval is like a stinky plaster nailed here, no matter what we do, we will be held back by him!" Although I don't want to admit it, Bolval is indeed a bit strong, since he gradually regained the hollowed out body by the black dragon MM, there is no one in his army who is his enemy, if he can't be suppressed by numbers, he may really be easily defeated by Bolval.
"It seems that we can only pay to hire adventurers to fight for us...... Anthony quickly made up his mind, and he said to his son: "Go and spread the word to the people in the territory, let them hire as many adventurers as possible, just take out 100,000 gold first, and give them the most rudimentary equipment." ”
The huge sum of 100,000 yuan was said to be taken, and just when he was scolding the local tyrant, a group of scouts rushed in.
"Lord Duke, something is wrong, those gnolls! they have suddenly attacked your territory!"
"And the Fish-Man ......"
..................
"It's much easier to convince the fish-men than it is to convince the gnolls. Zhang Li was riding on the back of Rubos at this time, watching the fishmen attack the territory of the Makoren family.
That's right, it's easier to convince the Fishmen than the Gnolls, and to convince the Gnolls is to count in Hogg's ear how much they can gain by attacking Spiegel, and to convince the Fishmen to tell them that the humans are underguarded, and that you can grab the vegetable patches at will.
The IQ of the fishmen is definitely the lowest among all intelligent races, they don't need clothes, they don't need money, they just grab some food, and they can only play a role in adding to the chaos, but it doesn't matter, Anthony's territory is threatened.
In feudal society, the city walled by the city wall is basically a small piece, and most people will definitely not be able to live in it, such as the Forbidden City.
If they are surrounded, the leaders inside will not want to interact with the people outside, and it is unlikely that they will immediately replenish the army from the people, so Anthony will not want to hire adventurers now.
Not only don't you want to hire adventurers, but if he doesn't come back quickly, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep his foundation.
The gnolls have no mercy for the human race, they are besieging the city and burning and looting at the same time, I don't know how many unarmed civilians will be killed, if the free man is better to say, he has no obligation to protect them, if the subjects are slaughtered, I am afraid that his soldiers will bomb the camp.
Reinforcement is inevitable, and their reinforcement means that Stormwind will be handed over to Bolval, and the five thousand untrained Imperial troops in it alone will not be able to stop him, and these people may even be rebelled.
So far, Zhang Li has done everything he can, and then it depends on whether the two grand dukes and Anduin's grandmother have the ability to bring public opinion back.
However, no matter what, everyone is acting according to his plan, and as long as they can win him, the credit is the greatest.
Presumably, he should be able to get a lot of rewards for this military exploit, and he doesn't pray that he can become a big lord, as long as he can rightfully control the internal affairs of the Storm Kingdom......
..................
A few days passed, and reality went more smoothly than Zhang Li expected, Anthony came back to help, but after he drove away the gnolls, he never returned to that battlefield, he fled directly into the western wilderness with his loyal men, because he had already learned when he fought the gnolls that Arthas had teleported with the knights of the Silver Hand with the help of the warlocks.
Arthas and Varian are brothers, and during the time when Varian fled, Tyrenus took him in, and the two grew up together for many years, and he was like an older brother to Arthas.
Mecatok, the king of the dwarves, told him about Anduin's situation, and with Anduin's grandmother's guarantee, the situation should not be wrong, and Arthas was furious.
His father hated the unfaithful and unrighteous the most, and Arthas inherited this, so he temporarily held the line and teleported to the cathedral as the Lord of the Alliance.
Lordaeron has always been the lord of the Alliance, the original alliance was set up by Arthas's father, although now Lordaeron's national strength has dropped significantly, but humans are an inertial race after all, and Lordaeron will always be the lord of the Alliance until the remnants of Terenus are gone.
The result can be imagined, the kings of Lordaeron have come out to testify, Anthony and their subordinates can no longer reverse the trend of public opinion, and finally the imperial army under the little chubby under the confrontation with the two dukes' armies also betrayed, from this moment on, who wins and who loses.
Anthony obviously didn't want to accept the sanction he deserved, and I was afraid that no one would want to accept this sanction, so he fled to the western wilderness with wealth and loyal men, and the other two councillor families were not so lucky, because the territory was near the avenue, Bolval immediately led troops to surround them, and they were now stubbornly resisting for a while at most.
The dust had settled, and on this day, under the leadership of Alsace, people gathered at Varian's tomb to prepare for a solemn funeral for him.
