Chapter 118: The Demigods Who Participated in the War
Actually, Liuhuo Er's cheeks are really unjust and unlucky.
In fact, the story in it is not something that Tengrfagen, a small and small leader, can know under normal circumstances, because in addition to being a scandal, it can barely be said to be a secret. If it weren't for Liuhuo'er's concern for his career, it could even be said that he would be the biggest reason for him to go to the next level and become a nobleman in the future. Tenforgan would never have gone out of such a strenuous or even risky attempt to inquire.
Liuhuo'er was captured, and it really had nothing to do with him.
Although he is the supreme commander, due to the late appointment and the snow closure on the road, this commander arrived a little late. At that time, the six main army corps under his command had already been deployed in the war zone. Combined with the five corps in the occupied zone that could be used as reserves, even without taking into account the other garrisons, he could directly command more than 160,000 troops, while the strength of the Kingdom army in the war zone at that time was reported to be only 4 to 50,000. With such a huge disparity in troops, with Liuhuoer's ability, even if he does not use reserves, he is confident that he will complete the goal of occupying at least half of the theater of operations before winter.
However, Lord Si Shuai didn't expect that before his men and horses arrived at the camp, the sentry horse in front of him galloped back to report - the camp in front had been broken!
At that time, the six legions were not joint battalions, but divided into formations, so the breaking of one battalion did not mean that the other battalions were also broken, but the situation ahead was unclear, and the commander was entrusted by the emperor's grace, so he naturally could not take risks lightly, so he ordered to return to the imperial military camp in the occupied area, and wait until dawn to grasp the situation before deciding to stop.
Until this time, Lord Si Shuai did not realize the terrible situation of the battle, far beyond his imagination, and he never imagined that he would be captured alive, because by his side, in addition to the two attendants, there were also his own personal guards, as well as the twelve cavalry emperor's side guards specially drawn to him by Emperor Chalin. This emperor's side guard, but the close guards guarding the emperor's body within a hundred whips, each of them is the elite of the imperial soldiers. With these people alone, he can withstand hundreds of Kingdom troops, plus the Sui Wei Ling, then even if he encounters thousands of Kingdom troops, it will be difficult to get close to him.
What's more, there were three mages with him, two of them were high-ranking leading mages assigned by the Ministry of Military Affairs, which were standard spell advisors for the commander, and the really powerful one was the third, the robe mage from the imperial court eunuch - this was a special gift from Emperor Chalin, and Emperor Chalin's favor to Liuhuo Er's stinging was really envious of the other squirrels.
It can be said that these people around Lord Si Shuai are worthy of an entire army in combat power, and whoever wants to fight him will inevitably die miserably.
However, someone really had the idea of beating the boss.
Well, there are always people who don't know whether to live or die, so come on, even if you let the other party take the lead, it doesn't matter.
However, the opponent's first wave of attacks completely divided the team of 700 people into two parts—seven wind pillars three or four people high, plus a large number of wind blades, and caused quite serious casualties in just one blow.
Such a powerful spell attack, the wind pillar and the wind blade are two kinds of spells, and looking at the power of this spell, the other party has at least two leading mages! So the two leading mages of the military and political department immediately left the team and rushed over. And Lord Si Shuai didn't dare to retreat slowly, speeding up!
However, after running away for less than a moment, the second wave of attacks came again, still spell attacks, or wind spells.
In less than a short time for a fast horse to run, he managed to solve two leading mages? This is not a battle between equal mages at all.
Therefore, the robed mage of the Imperial Court Eunuch must have to make a move, and at the same time, Lord Si Shuai also urged the famous horse of the Northern Kingdom to sit down as fast as possible, even if it would drive the horse to death.
As a commander, you must always have the sobriety of knowing the importance and knowing how to make trade-offs.
After that, no one knew, until some of the commanders who escaped death fled to the imperial barracks, and everyone knew that the commanders who were supposed to arrive but were nowhere to be found had been attacked, and this news almost scared several regiment commanders who were barely able to catch their breath. Immediately, desperately sent people to find the whereabouts of the commander, and even ventured to sneak into the place where the commander was attacked, but naturally found nothing. Several legion commanders had no choice but to report to the imperial court, saying that Liuhuo Er might have been martyred in battle.
As soon as the news was reported, the envoy of the king of Huberi came with the news of Liuhuo'er's disobedience, and several army commanders were eager to hang the envoy up and whip a hundred lashes - couldn't your mother come earlier? But no matter how much they hated, they hurried to report the news to the imperial court, and while guarding the border, as for whether it was war or peace, it was not their turn to put their beaks at all, and everything was left to the imperial court.
Therefore, the current western border is heavily guarded, not to mention the convoy of more than 20 women, even if one person wants to get out of the customs, it is almost impossible. On the other hand, on the side of the Kekesha allies, Teng Erfagen said that there was still a way to think about it. ”
The Kekesha Allies are located in the southern part of the kingdom of Miredan, which also borders the Empire, and was attacked by the Imperial Army a few months ago, but now the fighting has ceased and can be cleared normally. However, from the borders of the empire, to return to the county of Central Gagawa, even if there is at least two or three days to ride the trench, with the customs of the people in the borders of the alliance, this road is only afraid that there is a lot of risk.
"It's okay to get to the Kaisa allies, and we'll figure out the rest of the way. Before Ao Zongheng could speak, Ti Yan spoke first.
Let's talk, why are you a woman in a hurry to interject?" Teng Erfagen glanced at Ti Yan, but didn't bother with her, because Ao Zheng finally spoke.
"What happened to that robed mage?" Unexpectedly, Ao Zongheng's first concern was actually this.
"There is no news, it should be killed in battle, and the most optimistic estimate is that he was injured and hid to recuperate. Tengfegg replied crisply
"Two robed mages fighting, even if there is a level gap, if you defend and resist with all your strength, you won't be defeated so quickly. Arrogant asked a question as if asking himself.
Teng Erfagen subconsciously glanced around, as if to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, before he lowered his voice and said, "It is said that the one who attacked the temple may be a demigod. ”
The arrogant eyebrows twitched in a barely visible way.
"Demigods, the kingdom of Miredang can actually persuade demigods to join the war?" said Ao Zongheng was surprised.
Demigods are the descendants of the union of pure-blooded gods and humans, and they are the lowest godheads among the gods, although the bloodline is not pure, and the godhead is the lowest, but the demigods also have a godhead, although they are by no means immortal, but they are comparable to powerful ancient beings known for their physique. Possessing the divine talents of a father or mother, using quasi-divine spells that are more powerful than spells and not requiring chanting, the demigods are undoubtedly the strongest of the human race in terms of average quality, if they are considered human. The strength of the demigods is by no means something that the robed mages can compete with, and it is generally believed that any demigod can easily defeat an army of tens of thousands of people if he takes the lead.
Since the demigods are so strong, why do countries still work so hard to reorganize so many armies? Wouldn't it be enough to just win over a few demigods? No matter how high the price is, it will not be higher than the maintenance cost of the army.
That's a good idea, but it's not feasible.
Demigods are not allowed to participate in secular human struggles except for self-defense, which has been decreed since time immemorial. Demigods who disobey the will of the gods will be exiled from the gods and deprived of their godhead.
Therefore, in the long history of human civilization and warfare, there are almost no demigods, and they are occasionally seen in classical history, starting with the army inadvertently encountering unrecorded demigods, and ending with the army taking a detour to avoid it.
The above can be said to be the common sense of the world of Ploz, and even a "new immigrant" like Ao Zongheng knows it, which is why he is so surprised.
"No one can prove it, but there is intelligence to confirm it: the two purple-robed mages who belong to the kingdom of Miredang, one is in another military camp battlefield, and the other is in the royal capital. And the one who was in charge was a blue-robed mage. Tengfegg replied.
This is very clear, it is impossible for a third purple-robed mage to suddenly appear in the kingdom of Miredang, so ......
Of course, there is another possibility, and that is that Mireel was the hand of the Ministry of Law, but the possibility that the Ministry of Justice participated in the war in the secular war...... Well, you've never thought about it.
"If the kingdom of Miredang really has the help of demigods, then what they are seeking should not be a peace treaty, but a counterattack on the empire, and the current military strength on the border cannot be stronger than before the defeat. Arrogant asked.
"If that man really is a demigod, he should be deprived of his godhead by now, and there can be no more threat. ”
Arrogant eyebrows twitched in a barely visible way, for the second time.
"Surely I will be stripped of my godhead?"
"This is true according to classical history, thousands of years ago. Tengelfgen replied confidently.
"Do you think the Imperial Court will agree to sign a peace treaty because of Liuhuo'er's admiration?"
"I really can't predict, it's true that Huo Er's status is very high in the emperor's heart, but compared to the vast territory, I think that even if the Emperor wants to choose to change back, there will be a lot of resistance in the imperial court. It is difficult for Ternfegen to answer this question with confidence.
Concern is chaos, like Liuhuo Er's top relatives, like Tengerfagen, whose fate directly depends on him, I am afraid that there are thousands of people, of course, they want to get rid of this kind of uneasy torment as soon as possible, but they are even more afraid that after the torment, they will usher in a complete sinking.
Uneasy to restless, Töhlfgen did not take the promise of arrogance lightly.
To escort twenty-two women of good shape across several Sakai distances, it is necessary to assemble a very reliable team, which is definitely not a task that can be done in a day. So Tengerfagen arranged for Ao Zongheng and the others to stay, and went to work by himself.
Proud and Tiyan in the same room, Proud room.
Ti Yan didn't understand why Aozong let her in, but she wasn't puzzled, but she wasn't uneasy, she wasn't wary of Aozong now, and her attention wasn't here.
"Worried about your husband, or is it a lover?" Ao Zongheng glanced at the absent-minded Ti Yan, and suddenly threw out an inexplicable question.
