Chapter 2 The Era is complete

After seeing Mora off, Rog took a short rest and set off for the Tikton warriors' camp. The first thirty sets of heavy armor created specifically for the warriors of Tikton have been shipped from the City of Oracles. He wanted to see for himself how effective this batch of heavy armor would be, and if it would be suitable for the warriors of Tikton.

It is time-consuming, laborious and expensive to build. There is a kung fu to fight this set of heavy armor, and ten sets of ordinary knights' high-grade armor have been created.

The Tikton warriors have been fighting beasts in the mountains for many years, and they have always worn light and short armor. The weapons and armor production techniques of the Tikton people, who have lived in the mountains for a long time, are very crude, not to mention that they cannot be compared with the dwarves and elves, and even the manufacturing level of the average human country cannot be compared. Zagul's giant bow is extremely powerful, but in terms of craftsmanship and magic, not only is it far from being able to compare to weapons close to artifacts such as the Elven King's Bow, but even several of the elven clan's high-quality magic longbows are much stronger than it. It's such a longbow, and it doesn't look like it was made by the Tiktonites themselves.

In Rogge's eyes, the lack of equipment of the Ticton warriors could not be compensated for by superior force. Equipment can be bought, but elite warriors can't. Like the dark side of the moon, any injury to the strong and fierce Ticton warrior would have been painful to him. With these elven equipment, the Tikton warriors will greatly increase their combat effectiveness and survival rate.

When he stepped into the Tikton barracks, the thirty Tikton warriors inside had already put on their full body armor that shone with a faint blue light, and were experimenting with various movements. They screamed and were extremely unaccustomed to this kind of armor. The armor was accompanied by several Elven Craftsmen, who were constantly adjusting the position of the armor and recording the requirements of the Tikton warriors. It's just that these elven craftsmen treat the Tikton warriors with extreme indifference, as if they have some kind of hatred.

Although they are uncomfortable with the heavy armor of the whole body, they are very fond of the steel battle axes that are brought with them. These tomahawks were extremely heavy, and even the thick axe handles were made of stainless steel, and their entire body shone with blue light. The edge of the tomahawk was faintly glowing with blue light, apparently tempered by magical flames and initially reinforced. The weight of nearly 100 catties is not a problem at all for a Tikton warrior, but for an ordinary human warrior, being carried by such a battle axe is a fatal blow.

The heavy arrow-throwing spear favored by the Ticton warriors was also sent to the City of Oracle for study. Each Tikton warrior has a different spear throwing weight and throwing skills. In Charlie's view, this unit still has great potential to be tapped, and the power of the spear can only be maximized if the spear throwing action is uniform. In Rogge's eyes, the difference in the weight and length of the spear was a great waste, and he decided to use the standard spear throwing for all ordinary Tikton warriors, except for those with special skills. In this way, it is easy to produce, and the cost is not much.

Zagur was also on the field. Seeing that Rogge was also coming, he put down the heavy armor in his hand and greeted him.

"How's it going, Lord Zagur, are you still used to these heavy armors?"

"It's a little awkward to put on, and it's not so flexible. But these full-body armors are really not ordinarily strong!We Tikton craftsmen will never be able to make such good armor and battle axes!" Zagul's voice was heroic, and he did not shy away from the weaknesses of the Tikton tribe at all, "In my opinion, this thing will be of great use on the battlefield! When I faced the Principality of the Snow Falcon, I used to have a headache with one of their hoplite units, their armor was very thick, and it was difficult to cut and pierce. And these heavy armors, I think, are twice as thick as those worn by the heavy infantry. Don't worry, Lord Rogge, these children of mine can carry this turtle shell!"

Rogge nodded and said, "If only Lord Zagul could understand my painstaking efforts. One more thing, I've heard recently that something unpleasant happened to a couple of Ticton warriors and my elves, and I wonder what's going on?"

Zagul was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Is there such a thing?"

When Mayila, a female warrior who had tried with Rogby, replied, "Uncle Zagur, that's right. Yesterday Tate met a few elven warriors, and he thought that he could be a magician or any other profession in the form of an elf, but to be a warrior was too delicate. Afterward...... Later, he had some clashes with the elven warriors, and Tate wounded several elves. But I've apologized to the elves on behalf of Tattat afterwards. ”

Rog looked at Zagur calmly. Zagul's face became more and more ugly, and he cursed in a low voice, "Fuck, this Tat knows to cause trouble for me! Mayila, he will never be allowed to step out of the barracks without you watching in the future!"

Mayila agreed, and just as she wanted to leave, she was called down by Rogge.

"Wait!Mayila, you just said that you apologized, not Tate himself?and," Rogge frowned, looked at Zagul, and said, "Lord Zagul, you have also been a leader for so many years, you should know that justice is the most important quality of a leader. Wouldn't it help the prestige of the Tikton warriors that Tate had wounded a few ordinary elven archers?and that he himself was not willing to apologize, and he dared to do something wrong but did not dare to admit it, and was that what a warrior should do?

"Lord Rogge," Mayila's tone was very respectful, "The Tikton warriors only respect the truly strong, and the elves are not suitable for cooperative warriors, this sentence is not wrong." Tate was grumpy, but he was still restrained, and the elves were not seriously injured. This is really because the elf's physique is too weak, so it will be injured by Tate's not very powerful attack. ”

Since she was almost killed by Rog in battle, Mayila's attitude towards Rog has completely changed, and as she says, the warriors of Ticton only respect the strong.

"Mayila, shut up, go and hang Tate up for me, and whip him fifty lashes until he can't get up! and then don't let him leave the barracks for a month!" exclaimed Zagul.

Rog smiled, "Lord Zagur, this can't be entirely to blame for Tate. If you want to blame, you should blame me for canceling the last two games. Do you remember Andre the swordsman who ended the first battle of the day?"

Zagul's face was ugly, but he nodded anyway. He knew very well that with Androni's sword to defeat Voltat, even if he ended up on his own, he would just be able to support it for a while.

"All I can say is that there are more powerful warriors in my elven clan than Andrei. Rogge said with a smile.

"It can't be!" cried Mayila.

"Mayila, why are you so rude!, does Lord Rogge lie?" Zagur snorted. He turned to Rogge again and said, "Lord Rogge, I'm really sorry! My children are not used to the peaceful life in front of them, and they are not used to getting along with outsiders, and I will restrain them well in the future." ”

"It's all right, Lord Zagul. The calm at this moment is only temporary, and soon I will send someone to explain the specialized tactics of the hoplites. Rest assured, Lord Zagur, that the Tikton warriors will soon have the opportunity to prove their bravery and worth on the battlefield. ”

Rog thought for a moment, and then said, "Lord Zagur, I don't know much about the fighting style of the Tikton warriors, if you think there is anything that our hoplite tactics could be improved, just put it forward." ”

After returning to the Grand Duke's Mansion, Rog stayed alone in his study, pondering the affairs of the Tikton warriors. These warriors are accustomed to being at ease and arrogant, and there is almost no military discipline at all. As a result, their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced. Tate's injury to the elves is not a big deal, but it is not to be neglected. Although he is an envoy of the elves, he has supreme authority in the elven race, and he can easily suppress the voice of dissatisfaction, but if this kind of thing happens again in the army of the human race in the future, it will not be so easy to settle down. It seems that military discipline should be the most important part of training Tikton fighters in the future.

He was deep in thought when the door opened softly and Floya walked in. She walked straight up to Rogge and sat down on his large desk, looking at him defiantly.

"Your Highness, why are you here? Seeing you like this, there must be some good news for me, right?"

"Yes, there's good news and there's bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Rogge smiled slightly, patted Floya's little hand lightly, and said, "Whatever you want, see if you like it." ”

The little goblin smiled and said, "Dead fat, don't forget to take advantage of it at any time." Okay, let me tell you, the good news is that the dragon poison has been successfully refined! It should be effective against the silver dragon, but unfortunately I can't try it. It has special effects for other dragons. ”

Rogge was overjoyed, picked up Floya, spun around twice in place, and then kissed her heavily.

The little goblin grinned, put a small hand on Rogge's mouth, and said, "Don't worry, there's bad news!"

Rogge was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the bad news?"

"This poison is not only effective against the silver dragon, but also against other creatures, and it has a miraculous effect. Do you think, even the silver dragon, which is basically immune to poison, is so poisonous, what else can resist it?"

When Rogge heard this, he couldn't help frowning. The dragon slayer spear is too fierce and vicious, and with this huge poison, it can't be touched by a little bit. In the future, it seems that there will be no living mouth left under this gun. In that case, the dragon slayer will become a weapon that cannot be used at will.

Floya hooked Rogge's neck with both hands and looked deeply into his eyes: "Little Rogge, why do you want me to study this poison? Could it really be that a silver dragon will come to you to take revenge? Who is the 'Silver Miracle' Nicholas that day that the Grim Reaper class said? Could it be the silver dragon that is just going to take revenge? We were very secret when we killed the silver dragon that day, how could the news leak out?"

Rogge smiled bitterly and said, "You ask me, where did I know? God knows why that silver dragon would definitely find me." But the kind of people in the Reaper class shouldn't be idle enough to run around to scare me. He still has a layer of hidden worries that he hasn't said, even Xiusi won't get him such a dragon slaying gun for no reason.

"Dead fat! That Grim Reaper class offered to send you a chick to the door, and you didn't accept it, it's really strange. Have you become a good person? Also, you secretly have a few women behind my back?"

Rogge snorted and said, "That chick is so easy to accept? Do you think I don't want to have the Grim Reaper class on my side? But this kind of person is not so easy to deceive." I really don't have any feelings for that chick, and it's a complete lie to insist on how sincere I will treat her. When the Reaper class finds out the truth, this anger, didn't I really invite a Reaper back?"

Floya stared deeply into Rogge's eyes, hooked his arms around his neck and slowly retracted, and said softly and charmingly: "Little Rogge, no need to please, there are a lot of deaths around you! For example, I ......"

Her red lips were round and soft, like they were about to drip water, and they seemed to open and close, and they continued to expand in front of Rogge's eyes. Immediately, a cold and slippery feeling came from his lips, and a wisp of hot fragrance poked into his lips flexibly. Rog's hands tightened, with such force that Floya let a soft moan roll in her throat.

Rog was cautious at first, keeping an eye on Floya's reaction. Her eyes were half-closed, her arms were hooked tighter and tighter, and her breathing was like a burst, without any discomfort.

His eyes were also closed, and he was concentrating on enjoying the rare warmth of this moment.

With a bang, the door was slammed open!

"Lord Rogge, something ...... big" Charlie suddenly noticed this fragrant scene, and couldn't help but swallow back the following words.

The leprechaun and Rogge were separated, and the thickness of their skin was far from what Charlie could imagine. Floya was still sitting on Rogge's lap, hooking his neck tightly, without the slightest intention of coming down, posing as if Charlie was going to continue as soon as he left. Seeing that she refused to come down, Rogge naturally wouldn't take the initiative to drive her down, a big hand still wrapped around her slender waist, and kept stroking her up and down.

Charlie coughed, hiding his slight embarrassment, and returned to his usual calmness: "Lord Rogge, this news is also a little related to Her Royal Highness Floya. News had just come from the south that the Duchy of Bavaria had captured Rothschel in one day, and that the Magister Hierro and the Grand Karcist Lhasa had been seriously wounded and had barely fled back to the Rhine. ”

"What!" exclaimed Rog and Floya in unison!

Rothschel, who had two archmages to help defend him, was defeated, and he was defeated so badly and so completely!

Rogge calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Charlie, is there a detailed battle report for this battle?"

Floya also lost her usual composure, jumped off Rogge, and asked urgently, "Is my master's injury serious? How could he be injured, I have already returned the 'kingdom of sin' to him when I left!

Charlie smiled bitterly and said, "This is the news brought by a business traveler from the south, and it must have been out of shape a long time ago." However, the news said that Prosis did not make a move in this siege battle at all. We don't know the number of casualties on both sides or the movement of troops, so we don't know what the battle will be about. Maybe we'll have to wait a few more days for more detailed news from the south. Don't worry, Princess Floya, I have received information from several sources that the two masters, Hiero and Lhasa, did not die, but managed to escape back to the Rhine when the city was broken. ”

Floya put down her snack a little and said, "It's possible." My master has a teleportation magic wand, although the number of times it can be used is not much, but after arranging the magic array at both ends in advance, it should be no problem to teleport two people. ”

Rogge paced the room repeatedly, and he really couldn't suppress the shock in his heart!

For a long time, the Grand Magus was a more feared existence than a warrior who received the Holy Name. The magic that the ten magisters are good at is different, but to ordinary people, the power is the same terrifying. On the battlefield, a cloud of fire in Hierro could easily take the lives of a hundred soldiers. A single alien creature summoned by Lhasa, who was able to communicate with the Otherworld, was enough to tear dozens of knights to pieces. However, this is without taking into account their endless magical equipment, a large number of low-level magic casting abilities, and so on. And once the Grand Magus successfully activates high-level magic, even the same level of Sacred Domain Martial Artists often have to flee.

For many years, the Grand Magister was a symbol of invincibility.

Only the strong in the Sacred Realm can deal with the strong in the Sacred Realm, this is a deep-rooted belief of the people. The Dro Empire dared to confront the Church of Light and wanted to marry the Rhine League, in addition to its own national strength, another important reason was to recruit the two archmages of Hiero and Lhasa. And the Rhine Alliance has been between the two empires of Austria-Hungary and Droz in many places, but it still dares to start wars everywhere, and it does not take the Church of Light seriously, an important reason is because it has three Sanctuary powerhouses. No country's royal family is willing to offend multiple people in the Sanctuary at the same time, even if they can resist the attack of an army of 100,000, but destroying a royal palace only requires a sneaking in the Great Magister.

Thus, although Rothschel's garrison was only 10,000, the Duchy's besieging force was 100,000. However, with the help of two archmages to defend the city, no matter how many troops are besieging the city, the best strategy is still to besiege but not attack. This was the last time Marshal Rocherio used this strategy, besieging only the fortress where the two archmages were stationed, and at the same time dividing his forces to march into the heart of the Rhine League, and finally forcing the two magisters to withdraw to Rothschel.

This time, the coalition forces of the Duchy of Bavaria besieged Roschel, and everyone still thought that Marshal Rocherio would use the same tactic, dividing his troops to bypass Rothschel and fight to the death with the Rhine League under the Rhine. After all, under the protection of the city defense, the archmage can attack the opponent with all his might without worrying about his own safety, and his power will be increased exponentially.

But to everyone's surprise, this time Marshal Rocherio actually waved his army to attack Rothschel, and the battle went down, forcing the two archmages to be injured and escape!

The myth of an era has finally been shattered.

Rogge thought for a long time, looked up, and glanced at Charlie. Although the two did not speak, they both understood what they meant each other. With 1 out of 10, Rothschel will definitely not be able to hold it. So the key now is how many people Rocherio has lost. In the past, it was accepted that the best strategy for attacking a city with the help of the Grand Magus was to besiege but not attack, mainly because of the fear of excessive casualties among the troops. An attack on a small city like Rothschel would be a failure if Marshal Rocherio lost more than 30,000 soldiers.

"Charlie, do you remember the terrain around Rothschel?"

Charlie nodded.

Rogge said: "Okay, you get someone to make a Rothschel sand table as soon as possible, and let's study what this battle is going on tonight." Floya, come along. After all, you know better than any of us about the magical power of Master Hiero and Master Lhasa. By the way, call Andrei too. ”

It was finally dawn.

Rog, Charlie, Floya, and Androni walked out of the study. The sleepless night made their eyes a little dark.

The results of this night's repeated deduction were astounding.

Following the steps and tactics of a normal siege, the two archmaguses can appear in time for the most critical part of the attack and use their magic to deal a fatal blow to the besiegers. Especially in the battle for the city, Rothschel, who had two archmages, was almost invincible. Combined with the results of various siege tactics, the losses of the attacking side will be more than 30,000 men.

With Androni and Floya's knowledge of the two archmages and the Rhine Alliance's army, no matter what strategy and tactics the besiegers use, the defenders will always find the right tactics to break up the attackers' attacks.

Rogge frowned, if Rothcel was captured with more than 30,000 casualties, then the victory would be meaningless, it would be better to force the two great magicians to leave Rothschel according to the original tactics, and then capture this poorly defended city. Then fight to the death with the Alliance under the Rhine.

Charlie, who is good at military strategy, presided over the deduction, and when it was almost dawn, several people in the room had already understood that the key to defending the city was that the magic of the two great magisters had the ability to instantly destroy hundreds of the most elite soldiers of the besieging side, thereby disintegrating the offensive of the besieging side. This is equivalent to magnifying the combat effectiveness of the soldiers defending the city several times. Because of this, a city defended by a great magician, even if it is a small city, will become an unbreakable fortress. Even if the attacker has ten times the strength of the army, only with endless flesh and blood can a road to the city be supplemented.

Floya was already very tired, and said, "It seems that before the magic power of my teacher and the Grand Karcist of Lhasa is exhausted, the casualties in the capture of Rothschel will not be small. ”

Rogge frowned, and suddenly said, "Anyway, these soldiers look like they have to die." Why don't you give them to the two archmages to kill from the beginning?

Charlie was stunned and said, "Lord Rogge, do you mean that the first soldiers to attack are sent to death?"

"Yes, even the archmage's magic is limited. Anyway, so many people would have to die, and if they were to die in the first place, the besieging side would have killed much fewer soldiers in the next battle! What's more, if we asked Mr. Prosis to mix in with the ordinary soldiers and attack the city, the two archmages would probably be killed by a single blow without being on guard. So, I think they're going to have some of their mana left for emergency use, which means that the number of soldiers we use to send them to death will be much smaller than normal. Let's do it again. This time, we will first use the elite soldiers to divide the troops into several ways to attack at the same time, and after the attack on the city, once the location of the two archmages is determined, we will send a steady stream of ordinary soldiers and recruits to the death, and send them to the two archmages to kill!"

Death is inevitable in war, but dying in battle and having soldiers die are completely different things. This kind of magical behavior of seeking to consume the magic of the Great Magister with the lives of soldiers is simply not tolerated by chivalry. In the Knights of the Lionheart, the Lion's Tooth Battalion, which is dedicated to charging to the death, is made up of warriors who have committed capital crimes. And after participating in a certain number of battles, they will be exempted from capital crimes and transferred out of the Lion's Tooth Battalion.

The deliberate act of sending soldiers to their deaths is, to put it mildly, murder. Charlie, who has been in the military for a long time, knows that once this intention is leaked, it will not only be condemned by the world, but also often provoke a strong backlash among the soldiers, even causing a mutiny, which is not unusual.

Except for Rogge, the other three people in the room all knew a little about Prosis, and they knew that this high-minded sword master would never pretend to be an ordinary soldier to sneak attack.

Charlie readjusted the siege strategy according to the strategy proposed by Rogge, and simulated four more sieges. After these results, Floya and Androni's faces were very ugly. Of the four sieges, the attackers lost the most of 16,000 men, and after Charles launched a full-scale onslaught in six places at the same time, the attackers lost only 13,000 men.

Charlie's face was also extremely ugly, and he said, "That's right, it should be this tactic." ”

Androni suddenly exclaimed, "My father is not such a man!" She suddenly shook the sand table and rushed out of the study.

The remaining three looked at each other and sighed secretly, Rocherio used this tactic, and it couldn't be wrong. The point is, who came up with this tactic? Rogge and Charlie only deduced the possible tactics after they knew the outcome of the battle. Even with Rogge's ruthlessness, it was only after the unthinkable that he came up with the idea of sending the soldiers to death.

A great shadow slowly passed through Rog's mind, and he only felt that in the whirlpool of the south, the undercurrent was far more turbulent than he had expected.

In any case, the mythical era of the undefeated Great Demon Guide has passed.
