Chapter 114: Clearing

"Mance, I believe in you. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" James smiled with satisfaction and encouraged, "You will always be the bravest and most trustworthy warrior under my command!" he pointed to Marven beside him, "Well, I'm quite satisfied with the adjutant I assigned to you, this guy has been rewarded by Marshal Rocherio." ”

"He's the best young man I've ever met. Mance did not hesitate to praise Marven, "With all due respect, he is much better than the previous knight of the Guardian of Utantown, who was favored by you but refused to enlist in the army. ”

"The two chiefs have an overreputation, I just did what a believer of the Father God should do, the God of Light is with the Empire, and the omnipotent God of God will bless us to achieve the final victory!" Marven quickly pretended to be sincerely afraid, and kissed the cross borrowed from Rogge by the way, full of divine sticks.

Seemingly moved by Marven's "piety", James looked at Marven as if he had picked up a treasure.

"Hehe, Your Excellency the Deputy Pioneer Officer is humble, now young man, people with such insight and strength as you are rare, even in the territory of the St. John Empire!" James walked up to him and asked with a smile: "The Deputy Pioneer Officer is firm in faith and resourceful, I would like to hear it too, what do you think of the situation in the Iliad Kingdom?"

Marven took two steps forward and thought for a moment, "Your Excellency Commander, I think that although this elite rebel army is experienced and tenacious, the Iliad Kingdom is poor in resources and weak in national strength after all, not to mention that their royal family has already surrendered to the empire and converted to the Illuminati Sect, in this case, the rebel army's ability to mobilize for war is extremely limited......

"The number of warriors and magicians in the Iliad Kingdom is extremely rare, compared to the Principality of Morowing, and provoking the powerful St. John's Empire is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, those heretics can't withstand the attrition of war at all, it's really not a matter of concern, but ......" Marven frowned and glanced at James, and stopped talking.

"But what, you don't need to scruple about it, go on!" the commander's eyes were extremely appreciative, and almost all the statements of the deputy vanguard officer in front of him were the facts of the Iliad Kingdom.

Marven took a deep breath and said with a serious face: "With all due respect, our army is killing too much, which may provoke a popular uprising, although the Iliad is a small country, it also has a population of nearly a million, if they have a large-scale riot, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of trouble to the empire." ”

"Hehe......" James smiled disappreciatively, "you want us to stop purging the infidels?"

Marven nodded nondeniably, "I really don't see any benefit to killing these old and weak women and children. ”

James snorted coldly and paced to the edge of the tower, overlooking the bloody and dead town. "What if the situation in the Iliad Kingdom is complicated, but the real threat to us is from the outside......"

James coughed lightly, his face was quite solemn, "As we all know, the supply lines of the empire have a crucial impact on the situation of the holy war, and it is not only the Iliad rebels who want to destroy the supply in our rear, but other powerful Moses countries have long been ready to move. ”

"They can't get through. Mance disagreed, "The kingdom of the Iliad has long been blocked, and there is an enchantment set up by the Magus together. ”

"You're thinking too simply, Mance. James snorted slightly, "You should know that for this holy war, the main force of the empire has been dispatched, except for the royal guards, there is almost only one elite division left in the rear of the empire, a few years ago, the night elves defeated the human coalition army, and once invaded the empire itself, and the empire's military strength has not been able to recover so far, to assist our iron shield legion fourth, fifth, seventh, The Eighth Division was once crippled by the elven army in the local defensive battle, and although the personnel were replenished in time later, their combat effectiveness was no different from that of ordinary miscellaneous armies, and they alone could not guarantee a complete blockade of the Iliad Kingdom!"

"As for the enchantment...... James shook his head with a wry smile, "Although the enchantment laid by the Magister is indeed powerful, the Moses Sect led by the Saracen Empire is also full of talents, and the masters are like clouds, you know, the top masters of the continent who have cultivated to the top of the continent can still shuttle freely in the enchantment laid by the Magister, therefore, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, we must end the battle here as soon as possible and execute all the heretics in the Iliad Kingdom!"

Marven was shocked when he heard this, James's move is not ruthless, although the empire has laid a heavy blockade in order to ensure the safety of the supply line, but after all, the Iliad kingdom through which the supply passes is a Mosesian country, so as long as even one super strong person in the Moses coalition army appears in the territory of the Iliad, it will inevitably respond and quickly form a powerful force, so that they can give a fatal blow to the rear of the empire at any time.

And taking advantage of the fact that the opponent's super strong man is unable to completely slaughter the Moses of the entire Iliad Kingdom, the risk of being robbed can be minimized, and even if the opponent's super strong break through the blockade, he will have to face the joint pursuit of the top masters and elite troops of the St. John Empire alone.

Marven recalled Hypatia's war book, remembering that it had been mentioned that super strong people, such as magic masters, phantom beast knights, etc., although they were strong in cultivation and had superb combat power, if they fought alone, it was difficult for these peerless masters to play a decisive role in a major battle. War emphasizes the coordination of arms and the confrontation of systems, and it is by no means possible to determine victory or defeat by relying solely on the courage of an individual.

In other words, one or two super-strong people who are strong in cultivation but lack the cooperation of the army may be able to pose a certain threat to the Empire's supply lines, but it is almost impossible to completely cut off the Empire's supply on their own. Not only that, but if they are careless and fall into an ambush by the Imperial army, they may end up with hatred.

While he was pondering, suddenly there were bursts of dog barking from all over the city, and listening to the sound, I was afraid that there were thousands of them. Marven looked carefully under the city wall, and saw a large group of giant dogs half a man tall under the escort of the soldiers into the city.

"Is Your Excellency the Commander planning to raise dogs here?" Marven pointed to the group of dogs and asked James, "What's the use of us having so many military dogs?"

"Of course they work, they can help us clean up the bodies. James sneered and pointed to the crumbling walls and blood-soaked streets, "The corpses of these heretics are really a problem to deal with, it rains heavily during the day, and the city is very wet, and there is no fire at all, so it can only be disposed of like this." ”

As they spoke, the group of dogs let out a wild bark of excitement, and they quickly pounced on the pile of bloody corpses in the blood and water under the command of the soldiers.

Soon, there was a scalp-numbing chewing sound around them, and the huge dogs began to enjoy their feast, fighting for a tender thigh or a bloody internal organ, and occasionally biting each other. The soldiers of the 9th Division let out bursts of laughter from the sidelines, as if they were watching a funny performance.

Marven gritted his teeth, his clenched fists trembling.

The inhabitants of Iru who died in the massacre were pitiful enough, but the soldiers of the Empire did not forget to humiliate their corpses with such a method that was inferior to that of a beast.

"Your Excellency, Commander, can't you just take a moment to bury these corpses?" Marven endured the discomfort in his heart.

"Bury so much, where am I going to bury it? I might as well kill a few more heretics when I have that time. James looked relaxed, as if the farmer was dealing with his own unwanted livestock, "The military dogs we raise are all wolf greens with dire wolf blood, fierce and abnormal, and eat a lot of food, rest assured, they clean up quickly, in a few days, every piece of blood here will be licked clean by them with their tongues." ”

"Your Excellency, although the residents of the city do not believe in the God of Light, they are also human beings after all!" Marven forcibly suppressed the anger gushing in his chest, "Even if it is an enemy, their corpses should not be wantonly insulted by brutes!"

"Hah...... ......After hearing this, James looked up to the sky and laughed, and joked: "My deputy vanguard, you can be regarded as an imperial soldier, you should know that there is no humanity in war, and it is always unscrupulous. ”

He slowly took out a golden badge with the bald eagle emblem from his chest, and said proudly: "See? This is the Holy Eagle badge, which Marshal Rocherio personally awarded me." ”

"That's ...... An honor that is difficult for Imperial soldiers to obtain in their lifetime!" Mance on the side widened his eyes and respectfully saluted the badge, "Your Excellency, you are actually an officer personally promoted by Marshal Rocherio!"

James didn't answer, Mance's reaction was all he expected, Marshal Rocherio was a famous imperial military god, and he had not tasted defeat before the War of the Roses, and it was undoubtedly a great honor for an imperial soldier to be appreciated and promoted by him.

"Marshal Rocherio has built a vast territory for the empire throughout his life, and the famous generals of the entire continent are all fearful, do you know how he did it?"

"The Marshal is known as the 'Massacre', and he has killed many enemy soldiers. Marven frowned, "I don't know about the rest." ”

"Then I'll tell you!" James said, standing with his hands in his hands, and sighed, "I had the privilege of following him in the Battle of Aizaro, don't you ...... The city is now in the Empire and has been renamed the Holy City of Light. The war was fought in a very dangerous way, the Imperial army was cut off, the food and grass were exhausted, and the casualties were heavy...... But do you know how we got through it and won?"

Looking at James's cruel and weird smile, this answer was already coming out, but Marven felt that his lips seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and it took a long time to spit out two words tremblingly, "Eat...... People!"

"Hehe, so, on the battlefield, you'd better think of yourself as a devil, only in this way, you can get the final victory!" James patted Marven on the shoulder, and found that the latter's face turned pale.

"Look at what scares you, boy, you haven't eaten human flesh yet!"

"Eaten ......" Marven closed his eyes, remembering those horrific memories of his time in the Duchy of Morowing.

"Oh?" said James, surprised, "how does that feel, it's not bad." ”

"I vomited it all...... Marven turned his head away, really not wanting to think about that bloody and disgusting experience.

"Then you're so unlucky. James shrugged his shoulders with regret, "Cruel as it may be, I have to say that the bodies of those maidens are so seductive that they are the best trophies, and their flesh is tender, fat, and juicy, and a hundred times more delicious than the best lamb......s! )
