A few days later, the coalition forces from the imperial capital finally arrived in the territory of Chiyou-1-

The news of the surprise defeat of the Demon Shadow Cavalry Legion undoubtedly gave the Supreme Commander of the coalition army, Obsidian, a resounding slap in the face, and the worse news was still to come, Dark Moon actually took the initiative to attack the territory of Chiyou, besiege the Blood Mist Valley where the Demon Shadow Legion was located, and took advantage of the situation to occupy the town of Mordor, a major land in the north of the Blood Mist Valley.

This battle report surprised the coalition forces, but they didn't expect that in the face of the arrival of millions of coalition troops, Dark Moon was still so "ferocious".

The coalition forces were stationed in a temporary military camp outside Chiyou City, and Obsidian did not accept Zhuo Che's request to enter the City Lord's Mansion, but set up a temporary command center in the military camp and summoned all the lords and lords to participate in the battle meeting.

"Everyone, this time we have only one goal, to conquer the Dark Moon Territory and destroy all the rebels!" Obsidian said, a huge sand table of magic mimicry appeared in the center of the big tent, it was the map of Red Shadow and Dark Moon, and there were words marking various important locations, "The rebels are very arrogant, after ambushing the Demon Shadow Legion, they dared to counterattack into the Red Shadow Territory and occupy the town of Mordor, what do you think?"

"Destroy these arrogant guys!"

"Let them know what will happen if they disobey His Royal Highness the Regent!"

"Kill all the rebels!"

“......”

The voices of the lords came and went, and Heng Zhu had already come here, even if it was to follow the main force of the imperial capital to play soy sauce, at least in terms of determination.

Of course, Obsidian understood the thoughts of these lords, and there was still a satisfied look on his face: "I have seen your determination and fighting spirit, Zhuo Che, what do you think?"

For the Red Shadow Lord Zhuo Che, Obsidian is still more trusting, and besides, this is the "home field" of Red Shadow, so we must listen to his opinion first.

Zhuo Che stood up, bowed slightly, and said, "Your Highness, although we have an absolute advantage in military strength, we should not underestimate the enemy. With the Liliang of the coalition army, there is no suspense in destroying the Dark Moon, the key is how to maximize victory on the premise of reducing its own losses. ”

These words were deeply approved by Obsidian and the various lords, especially the lords. Obsidian promised in advance that everyone has a share in the benefits of the Dark Moon, although this "share" must be the leftover soup of Obsidian, but judging from the financial resources of the Dark Moon, even the "cup of the pie" is quite considerable. Everyone wants the benefits, but if the hard-working army (in fact, it is also a lot of Black Crystal coins) becomes cannon fodder, the gains outweigh the losses.

"I've got the latest information that Darkmoon has sent a large number of troops into the Red Nether Territory, at least the number of a legion. But not all of them are concentrated in the town of Mordor, a considerable part of them are attacking the Bloodmist Valley, and the ones who are defending the Bloodmist Valley are General Nesta of the Imperial Shadow Legion and my son and heir to the realm, Canita. ”

As he spoke, a wisp of ice crystals appeared in Zhuo Che's hand and pointed to the corresponding position in the sand table: "The Blood Mist Valley is located in the Black Mountain Forest, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Back in the last failed battle of the lords, I asked Kanita to build fortifications in the Valley of the Bloodmist, stockpiling military supplies and preparing to use it as an important strategic base to counterattack Darkmoon. After General Nesta's surprise attack failed, Kanita went to meet him and retreated from Darkmoon's territory to the Valley of the Blood Mist, but he didn't expect Darkmoon to attack the Red Shadows, and now he is in a bitter battle. I have sent reinforcements twice, but due to a miscalculation of the number of Darkmoon's troops, and a lack of my own troops, I have suffered defeat. Now is the most critical time, and I implore His Highness to send troops to rescue him. ”

"Geraint, I'd like to hear your opinion. Obsidian didn't reply, and his gaze fell on the deputy commander of the coalition forces, Geraint, who was on the side.

The Demon Empire implements the traditional three-general system, that is, the three most outstanding generals of the empire hold the heavy power of the military. The first general of the Fallen Angel Empire is George Wells, who was appointed by the White Night Emperor, Athena's father, not only can strategize and win a thousand miles, but also has high morality and respect, and is deeply loved by the army, even after Obsidian came to power, he could not shake General George's position. ...,

The second general, Duolun Ruth, the third general of the original empire, was the first military representative to fall to Obsidian, the former second general followed the White Night Emperor to die in the human world, and was promoted to the second general by Obsidian, in comparison, his military talent and prestige are much inferior, and he is currently staying in the imperial capital.

The Geraint Brann in front of him is a newcomer promoted by Obsidian, and he has been guarding the Tekula Fortress in the northwest of the empire, which is adjacent to the Shadow Empire, and this time he was appointed by Obsidian as the deputy commander of the rebel coalition.

"There is a huge difference in the strength of the Dark Moon and our army, according to common sense, we should retreat in the Moonlight Fortress to hold on, this time it is definitely not so simple to take the initiative to attack in the opposite direction. I think there are three purposes, first, to take advantage of the victory and annihilate the Demon Shadow Legion, it is likely that some kind of trick has been set up to ambush our reinforcements. I want to use some victories to boost the army and civilians of Darkmoon, and at the same time break our morale. Second, pull the battlefield to the Red Shadow Territory to reduce the attrition of the Dark Moon local's defenses. Third, use tactics such as harassment warfare to disrupt the layout of our army, delay the pace of our army, and further gain time for the stubborn defense of the dark moon. ”

This analysis was very incisive, and many lords nodded their heads, and Obsidian showed appreciation: "So what do you think we should do now?"

"Dark Moon's greatest purpose is to delay time and temporarily divert our attention, we should not be fooled by this method, we should crush the enemy's conspiracy with absolute strength. At present, the coalition army has traveled a long distance and is physically exhausted, so I suggest that the army rest for a while, arrange all kinds of resources and supplies, adjust the state to the best, and then the whole army will go out and attack the Moonlight Fortress with a thunderous force, and take the Dark Moon in one go! As for the enemy entrenched in the town of Mordor, for our million-strong army, it is nothing more than dust along the way, and it will disappear without a trace with a blow, and there is no fear at all. ”

The Red Shadow Lord, Zhuo Che, immediately objected: "General Gerante means to abandon General Nesta and Canita? The Imperial Capital Legion and my Red Shadow soldiers are currently gritting their teeth and struggling to support in the Blood Mist Valley, and we have a million troops that dare not go to the rescue? Where is the prestige of the Regent? Where is the morale of the coalition army? Is the blood of the soldiers all in vain?"

Geraint looked at Zhuo Che's excited appearance and replied lightly: "The ultimate goal of war is to win. ”

The lord below whispered for a while, obsidian's brows furrowed slightly, Nesta is his direct cronies, and the failure of the raid on Jihua is certainly annoying, but being able to hold on to it under the onslaught of the dark moon until now, it has somewhat shown tenacious fighting spirit, especially with the heir of the Red Shadow Lord inside. If left unattended, it will chill the lords below.

As the controller of an empire, in addition to the military, politics is also a factor that cannot be ignored, Obsidian pondered for a long time and said: "Who is willing to lead the army to Mordor Town, subdue the lost land of Chiyu, rescue Nesta in the Valley of Blood Mist, and make this first contribution?"

A tall royal family immediately stood up: "Your Highness!

Seeing that the Imperial Capital Legion took the lead, the lords of the two medium-sized territories also expressed their willingness to go, anyway, with the Snake Legion as the main force, it should not be a problem to share the first merit easily.

Obsidian nodded, and ordered Samoel to lead the Snake Legion and the soldiers and horses of the two territories, totaling more than 90,000 people, led by Samoel and supplemented by two lords, to immediately set out to rescue the Demon Shadow Legion in the Blood Mist Valley and crusade against the Dark Moon rebels in the Red Shadow Territory. The rest of the army is fully rested and ready to attack Darkmoon.

Seeing Obsidian's decision, Geraint was silent for a moment, and did not raise any further objections, but only suggested sending the Demon Emperor of the Patriarchal Family to escort Samoel with his army.

Soon, Samoel led an army of 90,000 from the Red Shadow City and marched south. ..., "General, two adults, there are two ways to get to Magic Bell Town from this location. One was the main road, which took about five days at our speed, and the other was a mountain road, which crossed the Tarot Mountains and could be reached in about three days, but it was more dangerous, and the reinforcements of Lord Droche had been ambushed on this road and forced to retreat. "The one who opened his mouth was the guide who accompanied the Red Shadow Territory.

Samuel opened the map, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "Take the mountain road! I will be the first to appear in front of those rebels!"

One of the lords, Rudy, advised: "General, we must take into account possible ambushes set up by the enemy. ”

"Don't worry!" Samoel said confidently: "That kind of terrain can only fight for a small number of troops to set up an ambush, in the face of our army, the enemy's ambush is just to send them to death, I also wish to encounter the Dark Moon Army head-on to get more credit, just let them see, what is the real strength of the Imperial Capital Army! Lao Tzu's Dark Snake Legion is not those self-righteous cavalry!"

Samuel and Nesta have always been at odds, and this initiative to ask for the war is not only for the first credit, but also for the intention of taking the opportunity to elevate himself and humiliate Nesta. The two lords originally came to make merit, and seeing that Samoel was so sure, he had no objections.

The army began to turn to the mountain road to advance, and sure enough, it encountered the ambush of the dark moon along the way, facing an army of nearly 100,000, without an absolute geographical advantage, the ambush of about 1,000 people could only flee.

The two lords praised Samoel like a god, and Samuel was proud, and led his army across the Tarot Mountains, and finally came to the boundary of Mordor Town.

It was nearly dusk, and considering the fatigue of the long march, Samuel did not give the order to attack recklessly, but set up camp on the spot to rest, and sent scouts to investigate the situation in the town of Mordor.

At night, most of the lights in the barracks were extinguished, and only the torches of the camp sentry posts remained.

Suddenly, a scream rang out, and then the sound of enemy sirens woke the soldiers who had just fallen asleep.

Rows of rockets flew, the tents on the outer edge were already on fire, and thick smoke rose from the sky above the barracks.

Samoel and the two lords hurriedly got up, and while organizing the extinguishing of the fire, they sent their lieutenants to lead their troops to meet them.

However, what made Samuel depressed was that the enemy's purpose was not to rob the camp or set it on fire, but to harass it, and before the lieutenant general approached with his troops, he had already withdrawn far away, and the only thing worth paying attention to was the kind of bow that shot rockets, the range was far better than that of ordinary bows and crossbows, which should have been specially modified.

After the pursuit was fruitless, Samoel, who returned, doubled his guard and expanded the range of his defense.

Not long after the sneak attack subsided, the soldiers who had just let down their guard and slept were once again awakened by a series of earth-shattering noises, this time using magic bombs, and they were actually thrown from the sky on flying monsters. Since Samoel's army was temporarily stationed, with only a certain amount of protective magic near the main tent, the rest of the tents could not resist this "airborne bomb", and after dozens of thunderbolts burst open, the damage caused was secondary, and the deafening sound made all the soldiers frightened again.

What's even more hateful is that those throwing sneak attackers are very cunning and not greedy for merit, throwing a round and riding a monster and running, not giving Samuel a chance to chase at all.

Soon after, harassment returned......

All night, the soldiers did not get a good night's sleep, even Samoel's eyes were full of red hair, those sneak attackers were not only cunning but also not afraid of death, although they were killed, they still carried out all kinds of incursions one after another.

"Soldiers, I know that everyone didn't have a good rest last night, and the enemy's methods are quite despicable, but at the same time, it also reflects the cowardice of the enemy, and only dares to interfere with us with this kind of trick!" "Samoel was able to command a legion, not a mediocre talent, and spared no effort to encourage loudly: "The enemy is in Mordor Town ahead, let those bitches raised by Dark Moon experience for themselves, the anger from the strongest legion in the imperial capital!" The encouragement was effective, and despite the mental and physical exhaustion of the soldiers, they showed a high level of fighting spirit, and under the command of Samoel, they marched towards the town of Mordor.

As Samore expected, there were some harassments and ambushes along the way, but none of them could stop the army.

Soon, the army arrived in Mordor Town, and this time Darkmoon seemed to concentrate Liliang on the town of Mordor, especially those fully opened magic arrays and defensive facilities, so that the Stygian Snake Legion encountered stubborn resistance. This is thanks to Joseph, the operator of the original Mordor Town, but Joseph, who has always secretly defected to the imperial capital, would never have imagined that after his death, all these painstaking equipment would be used to deal with the imperial capital army.

The soldiers of the Snake Legion also breathed a sigh of relief, under the fierce attack, the magic array and defensive facilities were broken one by one, and the Dark Moon Army finally couldn't hold on, so they had to fully evacuate Mordor Town.

Listening to the cheers of the soldiers, Samoel, who had successfully recovered Mordor Town, only felt that he was full of spirit, and while quickly ordering the soldiers to occupy all the key points of Mordor Town, he sent someone to report the battle situation to Obsidian, which was actually a show of merit.

The next step is to support the Bloodmist Valley, but now the soldiers are in high morale after the victory, but they are already quite tired physically and mentally, and they must rest immediately.

Samoel's idea was to "recuperate" here for a few days, so that he didn't want to sacrifice himself to rescue Nesta's opponent, and now that he had the credit for recovering Mordor Town, it was an important first achievement in boosting morale, and even if it was "too late" to rescue, he would not be blamed.

After agreeing with the two lords, Samuel settled down and arranged for soldiers to be stationed in Mordor Town, and repaired the defense towers and other facilities to set up the defenses.

Tonight, you should be able to get a good night's sleep.

ps: After my wife has a cold in a row, she has been sneezing, her nose is very uncomfortable, and she went to the central hospital for treatment today. The doctor diagnosed rhinitis and prescribed two kinds of medicines, but it was not until he spent nearly 200 yuan on the medicine that he found out that one of them had to be taken for more than 70 days!

Not long ago, I took the child to see the eyes like this, and the general outpatient clinic said how to see the eyes, and prescribed a terrible dose of medicine, and then I was not at ease, and spent a little more registration fee to see a specialist another day, but it was diagnosed as an ordinary minor problem, and it was cured with only a few medicines...... This is a regular tertiary hospital!

I don't understand, is it really necessary to take so many pills or is some kind of kickback type of interest at work?

If it is the latter, then it can only be said that some doctors, driven by profits, have lost even some of the most basic virtues, which is more odious than misdiagnosis!
