Chapter 202: Ruthless (II)
"Aini, you don't have to shake your head. What would you do if more than a hundred of your cronies were killed?" Salin asked rhetorically when he saw Ani's unwilling look.
"But this is the battlefield, and death is inevitable. ”
Salin looked as usual, and said, "Although the age of knights has passed, if they capture those swordsmen, I am willing to pay for them." But they have stripped my people and killed them cleanly, do I still have to calculate the gains and losses? They must pay the price, and no one wants to live. ”
Salin had seen the corpses for himself, and many of the swordsmen had not resisted, apparently surrendered, but were still killed, which he could not bear.
Saleen had given these swordsmen orders to lay down their arms if the enemy was too strong to escape. In Qinyin, basically no one would kill a captive, because a captive was a fortune, and until the end of the war, the captives could be used as free coolies. Even if the war is over, the captives may not be free, and the most likely thing is that they will be absorbed into the new family and become the lords of the new nobility.
As for the swordsmen with combat skills, they can be added to the army to carry out dangerous missions. However, because of his own orders, these swordsmen were killed by the enemy without a fight, and the anger in Saleen's heart could not be calmed down.
Slaughtering those who do not resist is not only disdainful of Qin Yinren, but even the people of the Tanggulas Empire will not do this. At most, they give the captives to the Holy See so that the Holy See can reform them. As for the method of probation, it is still up for debate.
Since studying magic, Saleen has killed many enemies, but he doesn't like it very much, and if it weren't for the persecution of the enemy, he wouldn't have taken the lives of others. Although the magician is high, after all, he also starts from ordinary people. Even necromancers don't take pleasure in killing.
Those who died themselves were slaughtered, like livestock.
Saleen's impression of the people of the East China Sea Island Country was even worse, but all the captives captured by Credian were dead, and he couldn't ask more questions. How did these people come to their own city? If they were to target their own city, it would be almost impossible, after all, their city was far to the north, and the current season was not suitable for attacking. But the enemy's armed merchant ships were full of infantry, and they were definitely not out for fun. It's purposeful.
It seems that this fleet is still a little weaker, although Lianyun City is not as good as Alchemy City, it can be regarded as a huge port city in the north of the empire. Yunliu people's business, Alchemy City accounted for ninety percent, and one percent was eaten by Lian Yuncheng. This is also a huge wealth, and the city lord of Lianyun is enough to feed the elite army.
Salin's calculation was correct, the fleet composed of these twelve ships would definitely not be able to defeat Lianyun City, but he didn't expect that this time, it was the twelve kingdoms in the Eastern Sea that gathered more small countries and organized a huge fleet to come to the Myers continent to conquer. For this purpose, the island nation of the East China Sea has been planning for an unknown number of years, and Fillet, who Salin killed, has actually been collecting intelligence on the Myers continent.
Saleen was too young to figure out what Fillet's true purpose was. Otherwise, he would have paid attention to this matter a long time ago. Rex hadn't thought about it, but the distance between the island nation of the East China Sea and the continent of Myers was too far, and she didn't think there would be any war between the two.
"Lord Saleen, the enemy has sent a messenger. ”
"Nope. ”
The man refused to go. ”
"Then kill. Salin replied crisply.
"Yes. "The messenger of the swordsman went, very quickly. Outside, there was a scream in the square. The swordsman was also so hated that Salin asked him to kill the messenger, first cutting off the limbs of the deceased before cutting off the other's head with a single sword.
This swordsman was also born on Srig Island, which is not a big place, and several of the swordsmen who died on the island were his friends.
"Why don't you listen to what the other party has to say?" Elaine was a little puzzled.
"The enemy is already in my grasp, so there is no need to talk about it. The other side lost its warships, and without the replenishment of food and weapons, there was no chance to turn the capital at all. The other party just wants to surrender, or come to assassinate me. Either way, I don't want to accept it. ”
"My lord, we found this!" the swordsman in charge of the execution quickly sent something, and Salin took it in his hand, but it was a magic cylinder. At the end of the magic cylinder, a seventh-level magic core was inlaid with it. Saleen carefully removed the core and handed it to Aini.
Ani checked it for a moment, and then was surprised: "Sure enough, it's here to assassinate! This thing can release a seventh-level magic!"
This magic cylinder is a suicidal magic equipment, there is no level limit, it will explode after use, and the dozens of magic cores hidden inside are stimulated, and the power is equivalent to seventh-level magic. However, it is not easy for this thing to hide from Salin and Ani, and even if the messenger enters the temple, he will immediately find that he has such a thing hidden on his body.
This magic cylinder is extremely unstable and cannot even be stored. Except for natural excitation, this thing doesn't even know when it will explode on its own, and no magician dares to take this thing with him.
Salin glanced at Elaine and said lightly, "See." Sometimes there is no need to be merciful to the enemy. ”
Elaine was silent, although she had seen a lot of intrigues, but she had never seen such a madness. Even if those invaders could kill Saleen, it would not bring them victory, but more brutal revenge. With this incident, even if they really wanted to surrender, Salin would not agree.
An hour passed quickly, and the mages on the ice began to cover the magic array with snow, and Daniel's army of the undead set off towards the edge of the ice. Three thousand undead troops, more than two hundred barbarians, and Daniel, the great magician.
Daniel stood above Pisius's head, and as long as the enemy did not have a magician, on this ice, the war horse could not outrun the undead creatures at his feet.
At the edge of the ice, a gray-robed mage said to the general with a sad face, "Your Excellency, the assassin I sent has failed. ”
The general seemed to have foreseen this outcome a long time ago, but nodded and said, "Have you failed? Pass my orders, and the magicians will bless all the generals with magic, and we. Advance. ”
"Master Yuxi Marceau hasn't come back yet. The gray-robed mage reminded the General.
"I shouldn't be able to come back, I can't imagine that I have been spanning for more than 30 years, destroying the country for 35 years, and I am going to die here today. The general sighed.
"Your Excellency, you can't say such a discouraged thing!" the magician reassured. The general is also a fierce general in the countries of the East China Sea, but what he said is not boasting, destroying thirty-five countries, but the largest population of these countries does not exceed 50,000. In the Myers Continent, a population of less than 50,000 cannot be called a city. It can only be called a fort. The magician cried out in his heart, you have given up, what do you let those soldiers take to fight?
"Don't persuade me, now, there is only one death. The general's mount had sunk with the battleship, and he tried to stand up and said to the people around him: "If anyone survives and can see Your Majesty, convey to me that I have not surrendered, but died on the battlefield, please treat my children kindly." ”
With that, the general drew his sword and walked westward with a blank face.
The general's personal soldiers had to keep up, and the battles of the East China Sea countries were like this, and the generals often had to take the lead, and the safety was completely in the hands of the personal soldiers, otherwise the arrows would be shot indiscriminately, and no matter how good the martial arts were, they would die on the battlefield. These soldiers carried iron shields, but they could not exceed twenty or so.
There was a loud shaking sound from the ice in the distance, and the general stopped, and saw that the ice in the distance was white and miserable, and thousands of skeletons suddenly went crazy, running, and rushed towards their own battle formation.
These skeletons are just low-level undead, forcibly recruited by the Three Kings to do coolies, and their combat effectiveness is really not very good. It's just that the coalition forces of the East China Sea countries have long lost confidence, and Salin's two rounds of blows made them realize that this expedition seems to be about to fail.
What's worse is that the necromancers of the East China Sea countries are extremely rare, and ordinary soldiers have no concept of skeletons, seeing so many white bones moving, and a red flame in their eyes, the coalition soldiers are immediately panicked. No matter how the officers scolded, they couldn't stand in formation.
Those generals are naturally brave and not afraid of skeletons, but at this time, it is too late to publicize the fragility of skeletons to the soldiers. The soldiers don't know the generals, this is something that Qin Yin doesn't have. In Qin Yin, no matter how mediocre the nobles were, they would be very close to their private soldiers, sparing money to increase equipment and teach knowledge to the soldiers.
"Huh?" Daniel, who was standing above Pisius's head, saw the leader of the other party from a distance, a guy in colorful armor with bells and whistles. The guy's equipment, though flashy, gave him the impression that it was dangerous.
Now that Daniel is a fifth-level magician, the one who can make him feel dangerous is at least a junior sword master. Daniel was no Saleen, and he would not have dared to approach the enemy ranks without the protection of the skeletons. At least Salin can fly and escape the range of his crossbow.
Daniel, who was already in high spirits, slowed down, and he remembered Saleen's warning. With such a large number of enemies, there must be a Juggernaut, you don't get too close to the enemy battle formation, let the skeletons go to their deaths, and torture the morale of the other party. Almost, let the barbarians protect you and retreat, and I will deal with them together when the time comes.
Salin's plan was simple, let the skeletons kill and wound the enemy's ordinary soldiers, even if they could change one by one. When Daniel retreated, the enemy would inevitably pursue him in order to boost morale. And they can't afford to spend time on the ice, and most of them may have to take advantage of the situation.
As long as the enemy's generals have not lost their brains, they should know that this is the only chance.
Saleen has prepared a large magic circle at the harbor, and as long as the enemy chases Daniel, he will fall into his trap. If the enemy doesn't chase after him, there is no loss for Saleen. After a burst of killing, the enemy will have a large number of wounded, and then he will not even be able to survive this night.
