Chapter 526, Blood and Sand! King of the Desert!
Just as the three-way army approached the holy land of the Bedai barbarians one after another, beyond Aaron's expectations, the Bedai barbarians not only did not organize a decent resistance, but even the barbarian cavalry who came to meet them did not have much.
The Left Army marched quickly, and after receiving little resistance for several days, it reached the established area, under the Scimitar Peak, and prepared to camp.
The Middle Route Army has some gains, the big dragon dragon Egil continued to rob the caravan of the Santalin Society, which can be called a violent robbery that made the Middle Route Army make a lot of money, and even Egil also captured a large number of Moradin series that had just been produced from Hextech Military Industry, according to the prisoner news of the Santalin Society, this batch of Moradin series was ordered by the Santalin Society from Sunset Collar, traveled to Zambia next door to Cormier, and then sent from Longhu to Sword Bay through Trader's Avenue, intending to send goods to the Sea of the Moon.
Now that the thing was back to its rightful owner, Egil naturally laughed at it.
The Great Dragon Dragon learned from the Santarim captives that it seemed that the Santarim had been plotting something lately.
What is it exactly?
Egil reported all the news to Aaron, and the Great Dragon pointed out that one of the "Sky Lords" mages of the Santarim Society had escaped from the chaos.
Aaron was noncommittal.
The right army also advanced, and near the edge of Lake Elazad, they finally encountered stubborn resistance from a group of Bedai barbarian cavalry, led by the leader of the moose tribe, Araric, who and his brother Sigurd led hundreds of Bedai barbarians to stubbornly snipe, and the two sides fought fiercely for a day, and the Bedai barbarians were crushed.
Later, Aaron's rear army gradually approached, and the heraldic banner of the Salian family, the heraldic banner of the green veron and the banner of General Cormier's conquest were displayed, and the current Aaron army has surpassed the heyday of Cormier, which shocked the northern and central parts of the country, which shows that Aaron's prestige is in full swing.
Many small tribes, even those north of Enoch, asked Aaron for submission.
1368 A.D., April.
The rear of the Salian shogunate army, the backup army led by Aaron himself.
On this day, the desert of Enoch was still surrounded by yellow sand, smoke and dust, a sea of sand and gravel covered all the sight, invisible hurricanes and powerful legendary magic sucking magic were still raging in the desert, and the half-human sandstorm stood up and slammed into the army in the desert.
"Jingle Bell ~ Jingle Bell ~ "
The sound waves of the sandstorm slapping the Nurgle bells suddenly cut their bodies into a cloud of powder, and they fell one after another, but they were very unwilling to gather again, ready to come again next time.
The gale wind whistled across the banners of the four gods of chaos, the banner of the Golden Law, and the banner of the Salian coat of arms in Aaron's headquarters.
It was in this extremely harsh environment that Aaron's army continued to traverse the Great Desert.
The Sacred Tree Knights and Forge Knights clinged to each other to protect themselves from being blown away by the sandstorm, the little Lucky Grass King's float gurgled through the sea of sand, the half-griffons pulled the sand stalks, and the druids watched the female dry compass, taking in the news while carefully checking the movements of the legendary magic sucker.
For Aaron, this is the first time he has entered the Enoch Desert, and Aaron also yearns for the ruins of Nase, and has heard the story of the Great Desert since he was a child.
But when he entered the desert this time, he felt that time had passed, and the former hellish place of death was just a slightly more difficult terrain for Aaron, with the scorching sun and high temperature being fought by the Nurgle Bells, the legendary magic sucking magic had a female dry compass detection, and there was no way to release magic in the dead magic area...... My chaotic magic doesn't belong to you.
The Great Desert, known as the Great Desert where death can come at any time, Aaron's army marched all the way unimpeded.
Occasionally, the leader of a small tribe of the Bedean barbarians came to surrender, and Aaron learned what had happened.
The Bedai barbarians are in a civil war.
Harald the Ruthless, Ivar the Boneless, and Harold the Great and Terrible are fighting for the title of King of Post-Bede, and the two sides are fighting frantically around the Holy Land, ignoring the Shogunate army of Salian.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Bedai barbarians, only outsiders with problems with their brains would try to conquer the Great Desert, and by far the most important
Or a civil war.
If you go outside, you must first settle inside!
But there wasn't even a barbarian leader who came to inquire, which was really too slack.
All the way to the march, Aaron still couldn't help but sigh, there is no one in the Naese Empire, since the fall of Naise, this former regional hegemon-level force, completely wiped out the power of hundreds of thousands of orcs in one go, once built a large number of space fleets to go to sea to fight the Elven Empire Navy, and once made the Naese civilization shine like their floating city like a star in the great empire of the universe, and now only sand, barbarians, and ruins remain.
Even if Karthas were able to come back to life, it would be difficult to regain the heyday of the former Chromian Empire.
As for the so-called Yin Soul City, under the Nine Rings, the highest limit of the Demon Net, and the current atmosphere of everyone shouting and beating the Grand Arcanist, no one would really see the Floating City and their legs would go limp, and they would bow their heads.
Aaron glanced at the ruins in the desert for a moment, as if the stone pillar that had recorded something but had been completely erased, and thought to himself that this was Nesser, forgetting that Nesser had no conscience, and wanted to return to Nesser without a brain.
The little auspicious grass king Buyer sat in Aaron's arms, chatting with Aaron about his father Oberon and his mother Queen of the Joy Court, and the elven mischief god who especially likes to visit the fairy wilderness, and Bouiller is dreaming of transforming the great desert into another fairy wilderness, so that everyone can live happily in this land.
There was a burst of singing ahead.
"Your Highness the General, what is fluttering in front of your horse?"
"Knock knock knock ~ Ya le dong ~ Ya le na ~ "
"That's the Purple Dragon Imperial Banner to conquer the Color-resistant people, don't you know~"
"Knock knock knock ~ Ya le dong ~ Ya le na ~ "
The little pirate Edward Titch sang the loudest.
"His Royal Highness the General, who rides ten thousand times a day, hurry up to those Pedai people~"
"Knock knock knock ~ Ya le dong ~ Ya le na ~ "
"Keep shooting, don't miss, warriors of the Wyvern Water Lake Fleet."
"Knock knock~"
Aaron couldn't help but smile as he listened.
The general will be in front of the royal horse, but you Shirek is the enemy!
"Command the three-way army, pass the order to Maximian, Egir and Eleanor, whoever you encounter in the desert is allowed to attack directly, and you must advance to the bottom of Lake Elazad and block the Scimitar Peak!"
"Yes!" Anna, the herald's cousin, responded immediately.
"The Seven Gods of Color." Aaron muttered to himself, and he opened the letter from Miss Charlotte.
Amanata, the sun god, is resurrecting, and this is what Suren Mama and himself hope, but also what Shar wants.
What will the resurgence of the Seven Gods of Color-resistant represent? Also, how do you deal with the relationship with Losanda?
Shar must be plotting something behind the scenes.
This time to attack the Enoch Desert, all of Aaron's elites came out for this moment.
Bedean Sacred Land, Lake Elazad.
An unimaginable scene is taking place at this time, as two armies of the Bedean barbarians are fighting to the death near Lake Elazad.
The two sides involved in the war were 5,000 men of Harald the Ruthless and 8,000 men led by Harold the Great and the Terrible, and both leaders of the Bedeh claimed to be the most orthodox heir of the Sickness, the King of the Bedeh.
The circumference of Lake Erazad is no more than three kilometers in total, and the area of the oasis is extremely limited, and in order to fight for this land, the Bedai barbarians have had to fight each other, and they have been fighting around the Bedai Sanctuary for a month, with many casualties on both sides, and thousands of dead in each battle.
Harold eventually had more people, and he got the support of some outside forces, got some firearms, and gradually gained the upper hand.
Under the yellow sand, only the flowers watered by blood bloomed beside the holy place, and as the war became more and more unfavorable, both Harald the Ruthless and his son Bjorn the White showed signs of despair.
But there are so many oases in the desert, and there are only so many people who can feed, and the Bedai barbarians have been in this way for thousands of years in the Great Desert of Enoch, where sand and blood are the eternal lords
Title.
Harald the Ruthless couldn't help but think of Doherty's invitation from the orc, and he deeply regretted why he hadn't heeded Doherty's advice to stay in the desert instead of fleeing to the rocks and making a comeback, when it was not too late to mobilize the army to make a comeback.
But at this point, it's too late to regret it.
Unlike Harald the Heartless, the desperate at the moment.
Harold, the great and terrible man who was dressed in black robes and silver armor and commanded the cavalry to charge and kill on his camel, did not dare to slack off, he had already received the news that the army of the Komyl Salian shogunate in the south was coming towards the desert.
Although Harold secretly reached a tacit agreement with Santarim and Serge, in order to stabilize the interior as soon as possible and stabilize his title of King of Bedeh, the Great and Fearful, he must kill Harald the Ruthless as soon as possible.
In this way, he can be regarded as truly mastering the Great Desert.
However, even though Harold had been overpowered, another Bedai barbarian, Ivar the Boneless, would always appear behind him at critical moments, which was why the war with a total of more than 10,000 people had not ended for more than a month.
Harald the Ruthless was indeed a peerless warrior, and when the battle went badly, he and his son Bjorn the White Robe went mad and led a small number of cavalry to slaughter, and the pair of axes terrified even the bravest of the Barbarians of the Bede.
But that's it, Harald and Bjorn's bravery can't save the defeat, and he's not a Grand Arcanist, and defeat is only a matter of time.
Just as Harald's army was defeated, and only a few hundred men were left around his father and son, and they were about to be surrounded by Harold, a sharp whistle came from the hill on the left.
The army of Ivar the Boneless is here!
Seeing this, Harold's face distorted.
He still doesn't understand how this boneless man came to prominence, obviously just a crippled middle-aged man, unable to walk on his legs and needs to be lifted, but he suddenly said one day that he had learned the secret art of color resistance, knew how to release some magic, and knew how to prophesy, so he was revered as the leader of the tribe and wanted to become the king of Beidai.
If it weren't for Ivar's men repeatedly interfering at critical moments, Harold would have won long ago.
The Great and Terrible gritted his teeth: "When I become the true King of Bedai, I will skin these two and fill them with grass, and use their skulls as bowls!"
Just as he was waiting for this, a black-clad cavalry on a camel arrived at a rapid pace: "My king, the army of Aaron Salion, the great general of the Cormier Expedition, is approaching our holy land!"
Harold was stunned, and strange thoughts flooded the hearts of the great and terrible.
Damn, Nanyan is really here? Are they watered in their brains or chest?
Hey, there it is.
Isn't Aaron Sarian the favorite child of the Suren Electorate, Lady Silvermoon?
We Beidai barbarians also worship Lady Silvermoon, one of the Seven Gods of Naise, and we are dear relatives and friends, siblings!
"Great, our reinforcements have arrived." Harold was quick to look overjoyed, "Call Stones."
Harold called his son, talked for a while, and then instructed, "Tell His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Salian that I will become the King of Bedeh in the future, and I will not forget His Royal Highness's kindness!"
Stones answered, and Harold couldn't help but sneer.
That being said, he was very dismissive of Aaron in his heart, and he was full of jealousy.
The Great Desert, the Great Desert of a thousand years, who wants this rotten land, you Cormiers really have a problem with your brains.
Now that you are useful, use you first, and when I become the king of Bedai, do you think I will still ignore you?
Harold quickly decided that he would pretend to surrender first, and then tear up the agreement in the future, and let Aaron make himself an earl, and wait for the Salian army to retreat and the situation stabilized.
Hearing that Cormier is now rich, he will surely get back what he has lost.
After some time.
The messenger of the Barbarians of Bede, the son of Harold the Great and the Terrible, arrived.
Above the sand dunes, in the middle of the desert, the size of the Salian shogunate army was like a huge one
Blanket-like, completely covering the line of sight.
From afar, the mountains are full of golden golden law banners, Suren silver moon and silver star double eye banners, endless chaos warriors and steel forests, and galloping half-griffin cavalry, terrifying war equipment.
The might of the Salian Shogunate was truly formidable.
Stones was quick to say what he meant.
He was received by the young pirate Edward Titch, as well as several Knights of the Edict Order, the three sons of Duke Kerryth.
Stones explained, and behind him, several black-clad warriors of the Bedai Barbarians each held a bag of coins.
Harold the Great and Fearful is willing to surrender to the Salian Shogunate Army, hoping that the Shogunate Army can help His Majesty Harold suppress the rebellion, and if it happens, Harold is willing to lead the Bedai barbarians to submit to Cormier, and form an alliance forever.
Edward Titch quietly gave the knight of the edict next to him a look.
As if this was the case, Lady Eleanor said that as long as the barbarians were willing to submit, they should be given a chance to surrender.
But......
But if the barbarians surrender, then what are we people doing here? If the barbarians surrender, where will we find our military exploits and fiefdoms?
Sorry, brother, lend your head for a reward!
The knights of the edict next to him, the sons of the Duke of Kerrys, suddenly drew their swords and stabbed them into the sack without warning, and with a bang, clumps of gold and silver coins fell to the ground.
Most of them are coins from the Moon Sea, and many of them are Cormier's currency, after all, Cormier is in the south of the Great Desert.
Stones' face changed slightly: "Cormiers, what do you mean by that?"
Sure enough, Edward Tich smiled slightly, and he suddenly shouted around, "Oh no, Harold of the Barbarians of Bedeon has declared war on us! Behold, they have humiliated us with our currency!"
The surrounding knights quietly rested their hands on the hilt of their swords, and none of them wanted to accept surrender.
Stones suddenly realized something when Titch said this, and he was about to explain, when the Chaos Handcuff in Titch's hand pulled the trigger, and a Chaos projectile hit Stones in the forehead accurately.
"Poof~"
"You...... You guys...... Actually...... Shameless!" Stones covered his head and pointed at the little pirate, the look in his eyes almost like eating him, blood spilling from between his fingers.
And as Tich fired, the knights of the edict next to him had unsheathed their weapons and hacked to death the unsuspecting black-clothed warriors of the Bedai barbarians.
Harold's son, Stones, and his retinue fell to the ground in a daze.
The yellow sand is once again stained with blood, as if in response to the eternal and unchanging subject for thousands of years.
Blood and sand.
The news of the Bedai barbarians' declaration of war on the entire Shogunate Army soon spread throughout the army.
"Since the Bedai barbarians have taken the initiative to declare war on us, there is no way."
"All the troops are attacking!"
