It took only one day for the barbarians to reduce the bustling commercial and manufacturing city of Waitreid to ruins. All the workshops were destroyed, and the gold, jewelry, equipment stripped from the corpses, cloth, and all the useful supplies that could be collected were gathered and loaded into the looted carts, which were carried north with cattle and lizards, ready to be transported back to Tytalia.

There were still a lot of ordinary people who didn't have time to escape, but fortunately, the barbarians didn't slaughter them en masse as they imagined, but just gathered them and drove them in the direction of the royal city. The wanton slaughter of defenceless civilians is a shameful act in the eyes of these self-proclaimed warriors. But they were looking for the nobles who were mixed in, and when they found it, they immediately tied up and threw them into the pile of goods, which were hostages that could be exchanged for a considerable amount of gold coins.

The streets were littered with corpses left over from the battle, many large lizards were gnawing on them, and dragonflies were congregating in groups on some of the corpses that had begun to decompose. After the battle, the barbarians searched for the tavern like crazy, slammed open the door of the dimple in the ground, and brought out a large barrel of wine, screaming and drinking.

In the tent outside the city, King Tezer was listening to the report of the two barbarian leaders who were in charge of attacking the area. It was he who led a large army of animal trainers and lizardmen to hold off three reinforcements that were rushing here, and then arrived and routed dozens of griffon knights. If it weren't for the king's extraordinary military prowess, Tytalia would never have gone so far and won so thoroughly this time.

Next to him, in addition to the lizardmen patriarch, there were several young staff members who were not dressed as barbarians, and a middle-aged man who looked honest and was completely a grocery store owner. These people were all helpers from Ofora, and in a short period of time, they had been completely trusted by King Taize and followed him closely.

"Your Majesty, the warriors of the swamp have completely conquered this place, and there is no invincible opponent under the courage and fury of the warriors of the north. This is the greatest victory Tethalia has ever achieved against Elasil, and your bravery and leadership have covered the sky and the sun. Like the wind on Mount Sandfish, it is unparalleled in the world. Now we are less than three hundred miles from the royal city of Erathia, and we can attack it in a few days with all our strength. You will become the first king of Tytaria to conquer Erathia. The leader of the barbarians who reported the situation was red, and it seemed that he had drunk on the way here, and he was dancing with emotion a little too much. These warriors, who had lived in swamps and wastelands for many years, had adopted this method of complete land conquest when they first saw the richness of the Erathian Plains, which seemed a little too much of an incentive for them to have no control over them.

"The royal city of Erathia is right in front of us, and the culprit who has humiliated us for so many years trembles there. Your Majesty, give the order to attack. The axes and blood of the warriors of the North are enough to destroy them, so let's stand at the top of those teachings and burn those church pigs to death, and let Catherine's mother-in-law moan and beg for mercy under your body. "The other barbarian leader even had red eyes. The voice was hoarse, too, as if the Queen of Erathiadi was already under him. "All the warriors are thirsting for the blood of their enemies, and I promise that their bravery will not disappoint you, Your Majesty. ”

The young barbarian king nodded, and with an expression of admiration on his face, he said to the two chieftains, "All right. Stand down, all of you. I tell you all to have a good rest today. As for our next move, I will make a decision after consulting with a few staff officers. ”

As soon as the two barbarian leaders left, a golden shadow flew into the tent at great speed, and suddenly stopped on the middle-aged man beside the king. This is an adult dragon fly, with a slender body that is a few feet long. It spread its transparent wings, about two feet long, like an enlarged dragonfly. The speed and mobility of this large insect are no different from that of dragonflies, and cannot be reached by any bird.

The middle-aged man carefully untied the dragon fly and folded the small note, unfolded it, looked at it, and said to King Taize: "The 10,000 cavalry on the high ground have taken the lead in withdrawing and are galloping towards here with all their might. It has now reached Pinsburg. It is expected to arrive in two days. ”

King Taize looked at the middle-aged man and smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Thanks to the presence of Mr. Anderson and his fellow students, we can understand the battle situation so clearly and anticipate the enemy's opportunities. I can't imagine that the dragon flies that we have raised for hundreds of years will only be able to play such a great role in the hands of the druids. I promise that the Druid's faith will flourish in the swamp country. ”

The middle-aged man did not appear happy or grateful for the king's respect. Just a little wooden nodded.

This is already the third dragon fly with news today, the dragon fly is faster than most birds, and the long distance is a strong point, half a day can fly thousands of miles away, although the barbarians and animal trainers of Tytalia have a history of breeding this insect for hundreds of years, but they have never thought of using this to transmit information, after all, the intelligence of insects is much lower than that of birds. Even the commander is able to carry out only the simplest orders. With the help of Drew's legal skills, he has made great progress in communicating with these insects, which has allowed the dragon flies to really play a role on the battlefield in a short period of time.

Druid Anderson came to Titalia through an introduction from Orfo. The Druid was originally a heretic in Erathia and other religious countries, and some fortuitous incidents involved him in Orf's plans, and now he is wanted by Erathia everywhere. Having fulfilled the mission promised to Asa, he had no intention of participating in the war between Oufu and the coalition forces. He led some of his druid companions to Tytaria, but he didn't expect that through Cedros's arrangement and recommendation, he and his companions were now the red men in the eyes of King Teze.

After the death of the previous court mages and shadow sages, these druids became the only group of spellcasters in Tytalia. Although their spell level is not as good as that of the previous Shadow Sage master and apprentice, they are a hundred times more effective against Tytaria than the two magicians. Not only did they increase the production of dragon flies and swamp lizards in a short period of time, but they also used the secret method to make a swamp vine tougher, giving the barbarians, who had always been accustomed to fighting shirtless, a protective gear that was not inferior to the regular forces of Erathia.

The druids had been suppressed by the church for many years, and it was only at this time that they really found a place to show their talents, and although Anderson himself was not interested in this fame and fortune, the vast majority of the druids under his command were young people, and the sudden exhalation and raising of eyebrows made them devote themselves wholeheartedly to their enthusiasm for Tytaria's efforts.

Through the dragon flies flexibly transmitting news, the barbarians even had the upper hand in the strategic and tactical distribution, so that they could flexibly break through each of Erathia's troops when they were not assembled. And three pieces of news came today. It also gives them a clearer understanding of the current situation.

In addition to the news just received, the previous two Western Frontier troops are also rushing to rush here. King Teze asked the young man next to him, "You have heard what the two leaders have just said, and the morale of our swamp warriors is very high, and they are eagerly waiting for me to give the order to continue the attack. What do you think we should do?"

A young man immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you must not rush in." In fact, it was fortunate to be able to capture Wiserid, and Erathia's army was not able to gather in a hurry before we were all defeated. Now the royal city is full of the most elite Knights of the Kingdom, and if the situation is urgent, Celeste will definitely have reinforcements coming. ”

"There need to be two * divisions, and the situation will be reversed. Although our Earth Dragonflies have a huge advantage against ordinary soldiers, especially archers, they are vulnerable to any large-scale high-level magic. ”

"There are no spellcasters in our ranks, and while the warrior's combat effectiveness is unquestionable, this flaw can turn into damage when fighting against the elite of Erathia. And the reason why the Knights of the Kingdom did not come to the rescue of Wiseridr is obvious, they just have to wait for reinforcements from the eastern high ground and the troops on the Negan border to the west, as long as the reinforcements from both sides arrive, and they attack together, we will definitely be in a disadvantageous situation with the enemy on three sides. ”

"And in terms of troops, we are also at an absolute disadvantage, and the army of Erathia would be 60,000 if fully assembled. Now it is the last good opportunity for us to retreat, and the reinforcements from the east and west are coming from afar, and they will never dare to pursue them without repairing and gathering. And as long as our troops withdrew to the swampy area, the cavalry units of Erathia could not pursue. ”

Several young men looked a little anxious between their words, and they could see from the two barbarian leaders just now how strong the desire of these warriors was to continue attacking, but it was definitely not the right time to attack. It's time to retreat.

"Don't worry, I know it's time for us to retreat, and this war has given Tytalia an unprecedented gain. King Teze nodded, stood up and looked at the young staff officers around him, and said, "Do you know what our greatest gain from this war is Taylalia?"

"Naturally, so much material has been seized. The looted materials sent back to Titaria along the way are equivalent to ten years of income in the whole of Titalia. ”

"The blow to Erathia was unprecedented, even if Erathia's army did not suffer any fatal blows. But both commercial agriculture was badly damaged along the way. Counting the food and personnel they wasted this time, I am afraid that they will not be able to recover in a few years. ”

"The Beast Trainer unit has also been given a good opportunity to fight, and the combat effectiveness of the dragon flies and lizards can be used more skillfully. It will definitely play a greater role in future battles. ”

King Teze shook his head and said, "No, you are all wrong. These are of course unprecedented achievements since the founding of Tytalia, but they are not the biggest gains. His eyes swept across the faces of the young men and druids Anderson. Shen Sheng said: "The biggest gain is everyone. You are my greatest takeaway from Titalia. ”

A few young people were a little flattered and said, "Your Majesty has won the award, and we have only fulfilled our duty." ”

"It's not an award. If it weren't for the tactics you planned and arranged, this battle would never have been able to achieve such a complete victory. The most important thing is that I really understand. Fearless warriors are certainly useful on the battlefield, but what is more important is always outside the battlefield, in the mind, rather than muscle and bravery. This is probably the reason why Tytaria has been suppressed by Erathia for many years, and he can't even get out of his breath. And now, with your help, as long as I give me more than ten years, Tytaria will definitely become a powerful country that can compete with Erathia. "King Taize's appearance is certainly a little ridiculous, but the kind of aura that his expression and voice exude at this moment is something that only a true king and leader can have. "You will all be the hope of the rise of Titalia. I know you've all been cultivated by Mr. Cedlos. But I assure you that Tytaria will be the best place for you to display your talents, and what he has given you will not disappoint you. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust. These young people were a little moved. The stereotypes of the people of Tytaria are extremely xenophobic, and there are already people who are dissatisfied with the trust of their kings as soon as these outsiders come, but this is actually just that they follow Cedros's haha and assist King Teze in military strategy. There are not many barbarians who are mentally developed, and even less can become a counselor who can analyze the situation in that kind of arrogant and arrogant folk style. And now King Tayze's words are an official recognition of their importance and their status in Taylia.

"The order goes down and has a day off today. Tomorrow the whole army will retreat. By the way, let them prepare some more forage, and we'll only be left with a real ruin of Erathia. ”

At the same time, Celeste.

Pope Magnus was listening to the report of the priest who had returned from the Wild Highlands, and when he heard that one of the most elite hoplites had been wiped out under a forbidden spell, he only frowned and sighed.

"According to what we and several *masters later came from, it is possible that the scroll of this forbidden spell came from the Valley of Diya, and that wanted criminal who can use necromancy is also in the camp of Ofudi. If behind Oufu are the evil necromancers. It's hard to predict, that's why I've come to ask Your Majesty to decide......"

"Probably not. His Majesty the Pope said lightly. His voice wasn't loud, but "Behind Oufu shouldn't be Deya Valley." To that Forbidden Scroll......" His Majesty the Pope tilted his head slightly and looked at Bishop Adela standing next to him. "What do you think is going on?"

"Perhaps...... Maybe it's them...... Where did you get it by chance......" Suddenly asked, the cardinal's look and voice were a little unnatural.

His Majesty the Pope nodded, and said quietly: "Oh? It seems that Cedros and their luck are really good, and even this kind of thing can be obtained by chance." ”

There were a few cold sweats on the face of the cardinal standing beside him, but he also thought about it for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, according to their description of this forbidden spell. I could tell it was the shadow magic of Nimbas, the shadow sage of Tytaria, a mutated side of necromantic magic. It is said that Oufu's general, Gru, helped Prince Taize usurp the throne and kill the Shadow Sage, which may have been the forbidden spell scroll he obtained at that time. ”

"I see. So, Deya Valley should have nothing to do with Oufu?"

"Yes. It must be as angry as Your Majesty, and it is impossible for Oufu to have anything to do with the Valley of Deya. ”

"Well, that's it. That forbidden scroll is the only one of Orfu?"

"Maybe?" His Majesty's eyes weren't cold, but the cardinal felt goosebumps on his skin.

"Doom...... Maybe...... And also. Adrazhi's face was cloudy, and finally he said, "I heard that the Lord of the Flame Tower, the Lord of the Five Towers of the Tooth Tower, Master Acere*, has been missing for a while. He is said to have been seen last seen near the Calondo Basin, and that General Gchanru of Orfo was also there at that time. And it is said that Master Ace has been wearing a forbidden spell scroll for many years...... It seems to be the fire and earth forbidden spell 'Meteor Shower'. ”

His Majesty's face finally changed when he heard the word 'meteor shower'. Then he let out a long sigh, shook his head and said to himself, "These guys, if they don't have the ability to use them, don't make these things indiscriminately." Where do the really strong need these? ”

Bishop Adela hurriedly said, "This should be Oufu's last trump card." Although the power of this forbidden spell was enormous, it lasted for a long time, and was not suitable for dealing with mobile troops. ”

"The last trump card? Since you can even think of it, this can't be the last trump card. A good tactician would never give away his last hole card easily, how could Cedros not know that?" the Pope sighed and thought about it.

Neither Adela nor the priests kneeling below dared to make a sound, waiting for His Majesty the Pope.

At last the Pope raised his head, let out another long sigh, and for the first time showed the tiredness of an old man on his face, and said to the priest: "Erathia also sent someone to ask for reinforcements this morning, and it seems that the situation is not very good. When you get back, tell the generals of the coalition forces to withdraw their troops for the time being. ”

"Yes. The priest withdrew, and although he could sense that there seemed to be something strange in the words of His Majesty the Pope and the cardinal, he did not dare, nor would he speculate. A man in his position always knows what to know.

After the god withdrew, the Pope was stunned for a moment, and then said to Adra, "Call the Templar who rescued Welskai last time and submitted a tactical proposal." ”
