Chapter 527, Conqueror of the Desert!
Clusters of Cormier coins fell on the sand, but they didn't order the knights to take a second look.
Also, whose knight of the edict who came to the war could see this yellow and white thing? Who is not of aristocratic origin? How many gold coins are missing at home?
What they wanted was land, military merit, glory, and status in the new Salian shogunate.
The land of Green Weilong, everyone who has seen it says it is good!
Meritorious service for the shogunate, shed blood for the shogunate, and when the time comes, the land after the greening of the Enoch Desert will naturally have our share!
So the knights of the edict acquiesced to Edward Teach's operation.
How can we accept the surrender of the barbarians, Harold surrendered, where can we make up for the lack of military merit?
Fiorina, the acting head of the Imperial Order Knights, the Guards Knight, who had been idle for ten years, drew his long sword and pointed towards the location of Lake Elazad: "Order the whole regiment, the whole army to assault, no matter what the Bedai barbarians, as long as they dare to stop my shogunate army, kill them all, and leave no one behind!"
「Aye!」 The whole army responded with a bang, and the army on the right and Aaron's reinforcements quickly started and killed Harold's rear.
Looking at this scene, Aaron, who was holding the little auspicious grass king Buyer, looked calm: "The Great Desert of Enoch belongs to me."
At the same time, the Left and Central Armies were also slowly approaching Lake Elazade.
"Boom!"
The Chaos Hell Cannon was poured on the sand-made city gate, and the gate, which was not very strong, was immediately blasted open by the flames of the Chaos Hell Cannon, and the scattered Bedai barbarian defenders on it were directly melted in the cannon fire, and there were no bones left.
Harold was stunned by the blow, but he didn't have a chance to react, the chasing Edict Knights and Edward Tić's pirate marines had already arrived, and the dense volley of fire was followed by a group charge of infantry cavalry, led by several Edict Knights with machetes in their mouths, grenades raining down.
On the sands wall of the Bedai Sanctuary, a handful of defenders went mad, shooting out all the few arrows and the scattered ammunition they had received from the Santarim Society, and the Knights of the Edict and the pirate marines who rushed to the front were shot and fell from time to time.
But there are too many enemies, there are more than 1,000 knights in the Imperial Decree Knights alone, counting all the attendants, there are more than 5,000 Imperial Knights, and all the main forces of the Bedai Barbarians are in the civil war, where can they stop this group of Cormier nobles who are eager for military merit and madness?
In the blink of an eye, the knights of the edict burst into the city of Elazade, which had no decent buildings, most of them were just earthen houses or tents, and a few remnants of Nessera could be seen, and the largest building in the city was a domed temple dedicated to Idath, the goddess of springs.
The knights of the edict immediately fought layer after layer along the walls, tents, blocks, and temples.
Hmmm~mph~
From time to time, there was the sound of sharp blades slicing through tents and clothes, and the defenseless guards of the Holy Land were immediately slaughtered, and their bodies fell to the ground in the yellow sand.
Eleanor, the commander of the Right Army, was anxious when he saw this scene, and Miss Priest hurriedly ordered not to kill innocents indiscriminately, but the knights of the edict who killed the red eyes only said that they knew, in fact, except for the Bedai people who knelt on the ground and clearly surrendered, the other Bedai barbarians who showed any signs of resistance could not escape the butcher's knife.
Along the way, the sacred land of the Bedai barbarians has been stained red with the blood of corpses, and even the wells and rivers in the city have been bloody.
Within two or three hours, the city of Elazad was captured.
Along the way, because the main force of the Bedai barbarians was all in the civil war, the city's defenses were at its lowest point, and Harold, Harald, and Ivar all mobilized all their forces to fight to the outskirts of the city, so when the right army and Aaron's reinforcements arrived at the city, the defenders were only a few hundred men, and the battle was easy or even easy to win.
It was only when they reached the entrance of the main hall of the Grand Temple, the goddess of the springs, that the Bedai barbarians put up an effective resistance, and a yellow-skinned old priest Edas bravely stopped in front of the temple, holding a pendant with the emblem of the goddess of spring water, warning the shogunate not to pass.
Aaron and the others then ordered to stop the attack, and he signaled that the army should not make a mistake, but he himself pushed away arrogantly
The old priest, who was guarding the door, strode into the Great Temple of Adas.
The Grand Temple of the Goddess of Springs is not much different from the days of Nase, a thousand years ago, and thanks to the protection of Adas, this tiny fixed oasis has been preserved in the Great Desert of Enoch.
The temple was not large, the entrance was only about five hundred square meters, and there were several clear springs on both sides of the hall, and a large group of women and children in black robes curled up in horror, staring at Aaron with fear.
The spring reflects the light and shadow on the ceiling in the reflection of the bright sunlight outside the temple, and there is a row of statues behind the spring on each side.
Needless to say, they are none other than the Seven Gods of Ness.
Aaron walked to the idol of Suren Mama, and he stopped for a while, and then let the women and children go, and brought food and water to take care of them for a while, first at the statue of Suren Mama, and then at Sister Shar beside him, and for a moment was silent.
I don't know what it means that you two have been fighting for so many years?
Then Aaron looked back at the only unlucky man in the Seven Gods who had really fallen.
Amanata, the sun god.
The establishment of the Heavenly Divine System is up to you, Father-in-law.
"His Highness the General!" At that moment, Edward Titch came to tell him that the little pirate's eyes were red, and his armor and belt around his waist were stained red with blood, and he was very excited.
Aaron opened his eyes and turned around, "What's the matter?"
"His Excellency Maximian, the Left Army, is leading the main force of the Left Army, and the Shepherds' Army has defeated the armies of Harold and Ivar."
"Understood, tell him to push faster!"
To the east of Lake Elazad, the site of the Bedean Barbarians' civil war.
The shepherd legion under the command of Maximian, the cousin of the Left Army, especially the Orc Great Sword Battalion, was like a mudslide that opened the floodgates, rolling up a devastating tsunami that swept away the Bedai barbarians who were in the midst of a civil war.
At first, Harold the Great and Terrible thought that reinforcements had arrived, and shouted happily and announced "ininin", but just as he was thinking about how to negotiate with Aaron, the barbarian leader realized that the Nankees had actually fought with them!
At this time, whether it was Ivar the Boneless, Harold the Great and Terrible, or Harald the Ruthless who was surrounded and in a desperate situation, where was their tired army the opponent of the Left Route Army, like a group of sheep breaking into a group of tigers and wolves, the will of the army was instantly crushed, and they fled north in a hurry.
At this moment, Maximian was still giving the order to surrender and not kill, and his cousin Robert, who was dressed in a white robe and wearing a choir white hat, had already begun to give the order.
"Leave the civilians of the Bedet alone, and kill the Bedai cavalry! A head appreciates an acre of land!"
"Aim for the nobles of Bedai! Especially the heads of Ivar and Harold the Boneless! Whoever takes their head, I have a reward!"
"Cormier's soldiers, rush me!"
Robert showed unimaginable ruthlessness at this time, where did his cousin at this time look like a believer of the Silver Virgin Suren, and he was clearly a tyrant of the Santarin Society!
With Robert's permission, the Shepherds' Legion let go of their hands and feet, scrambling to seize the head, and Doherty's greatsword camp slanted down like a landslide, these two-handed swordsmen didn't even care about the head, the two-handed greatsword swept down the neck of the Bedeon, and in the blink of an eye, a fountain of blood gushed out.
The Bedai barbarians fell to the ground one by one like slices of wheat under the butcher's knives of the Cormiers.
Maximian couldn't stand it anymore, and the commander of the Left Army couldn't help but say, "Enough, Robert, the Bedeaux have been defeated, we are here to conquer, not to be butchers!"
My cousin was silent for a while, and then said softly, "Mark, do you really not understand, or do you not understand? Is this a war of subjugation, or a war of conquest? Shall we withdraw when we are done, or shall we settle down here and become the masters of the desert?"
The cousin was silent, and Maximian could only swallow his saliva and whispered, "But I am afraid that killing too much will bring a bad reputation, and besides, there are some people among the Bedei who believe in the Lord of Suren......
Robert smiled slightly when he heard this, and shook his head: "If you are willing to surrender, then of course
It is our siblings, but the Bedai people are used to the desert, used to plundering, and if they are not killed here, these people will not really surrender, and the first king Yasan IV has put down many rebellions in the country, and you have forgotten the means of the first king? Don't you know how many nobles have been killed, sentenced to change, confiscated their territories, and exiled to Guangze? How many of the Salian clan died in the snowstorm of Guangze, and died there, and no one thought of us as brothers and sisters at that time."
Maximian was momentarily speechless.
After Robert finished speaking, he also felt that it was a bit excessive, and his cousin was the commander appointed by His Royal Highness the General, he thought about it, but still gritted his teeth and said: "Mark, it's not your fault, if you want to blame this damn world, we have no other choice, everything I do is for the sake of the nascent shogunate, for this war of conquest, for the service of His Royal Highness the general!"
The cousin patted his cousin on the shoulder: "I will bear the responsibility!"
"Alright, that's it." Maximian compromised: "I didn't care before, but now I can't!"
Robert looked at the battlefield in front of him, but his gaze remained calm.
Gradually, the Bedeads were completely defeated, Ivar the Boneless and Harold the Great and the Terrible could no longer support them, and fled in a northeast direction, facing the relentless pursuit of the orcs, Harold's army of more than 8,000 people withdrew from the battlefield with less than 900 men, and Ivar the Boneless only had more than 1,000 people left, fleeing in a hurry.
The waters of Lake Elazad are soaked in blood.
By the lake, a group of Bedai barbarians found themselves surrounded, front and back, left and right, all heavily armed shogunate troops, a row of black holes of guns aimed at their bodies, such as the spears of the forest rising into the sky, and the half-griffins with minced meat in their mouths staring at them fiercely.
Harald the Ruthless and White-robed Hafdan gasped in despair, most of their men were scattered, and now there were no more than 500 people guarding the lake, and all of them were wounded.
But Harald did not sit still, the Heartless puffed out his chest, supported his body with a pair of battle axes, his long gray hair was braided into many small pigtails, and his amber pupils were full of anger, Harald's men were the warriors of the hundred battles who had crawled out of the sand in the Great Desert of Enoch, most of them from the last vestiges of the Nexus Empire, the ancient belief in the Seven Gods made them bloodthirsty, and the desire to enter the Temple of Ardas to drink with the gods made them fight selflessly, And although Harald believed in Amanata, the ancient sun god of the cold of the Seven Gods, he still fought bravely with the blood of his violent ancestors in his body, just like his ancestors.
He is ready, ready to invoke the name of the god of Amanata for the last battle.
Harald's warriors also lined up with him, and many of them once mocked Harald, saying that your god had fallen.
Harald replied that maybe what you said is true, but we still have each other.
As the desert dusk approached, the blood-colored sunset stained the sky red, but the Salian shogunate army stopped attacking, and they were merely besieging the remnants of Harald, and the soldiers of the Shepherd's Legion quickly made way through the formation.
Aaron Salian, Grand Duke of Cormier's Expedition and Grand Duke of Green Vilon, stepped out of the crowd.
"Get on your knees! Get down on your knees!"
"Bow deeply to Cormier's dragon!"
"Bedean, you're defeated!"
There was a cheer all around, and Harald the Heartless looked ashen, he knew it was all over.
But he still puffed out his chest proudly, and when he saw Aaron, Harald scolded, "Shameless Nankees, you dare to go deep into my Bedai Holy Land, you *** wild species, uncivilized beasts, the test subjects under Eolem, the inferior slaves conquered by Tilaihir, the scum of the gravity reversal of Kronommansel, the ashes of the sunburst of Thornrest, how dare you talk to us like that?"
"You're right, but you seem to have been defeated." Aaron smiled and said, "According to the rules of your Bedai barbarians, the victor has the right to deal with the vanquished, right?"
"That's right! I'm ruthless Harald, and I'm afraid you won't make it? I'm a barbarian
There is only a beheaded king, and there is no one who bends his knees!" Harald the Ruthless sneered and nodded, "You have already defeated a king, and now you can execute another king, the Great Desert is yours, but do you have the ability to defend it?" Nankey!"
With that, Harald motioned for Aaron to do it.
However, Aaron still smiled, and he remembered the letter from Miss Charlotte.
The ruthless have affection, and Harald is indeed a man.
"Wait, Harald, don't you want to know why I suddenly attacked the Great Desert, why I found your holy land, why I resolutely destroyed Harold and Ivar, and left you alone?" Aaron said.
Sure enough, Harald had a confused look on his face, he really couldn't figure it out, but he still said stiffly: "If you want to kill or chop casually, if you want me to surrender, it's impossible!"
"Because this is the wish of the sun god Amanata!" Aaron took out a thin test tube from behind him, and in the test tube, a drop of Amanata's divine blood glowed with a scorching light like the sun, and Aaron pointed to the banner of Harald: "This is also the fate of your faith in Suren my lord, I know that my lord Suren is also respected by you as much as the sun god, am I right?"
"You ......" Harald's eyes widened, he really felt Amanata's divine power, he wouldn't admit his mistake, how could he admit his mistake?
Could it be that Amanata is really back?
Is it really my Lord's wish?
"I have always known your loyalty to the Sun God, and I have seen it today, and I have greatly admired it, and I have decided after consulting with my lord, His Excellency the Sun God, and the Seven Gods of Naise, that you will be the king of Pedeh, and I ask you not to refuse." Aaron immediately stepped forward and held Harald's hands tightly: "I know that the people of the Santarim Society once looked for you, but you resolutely refused, just for this matter, I want to say to you, thank you!"
After we discussed it, we decided, you will be the king of Bedai?
Harald was stunned by the flatbread falling from the sky.
A lifelong pursuit was actually achieved through defeat?
However, Amanata's divine blood was not fake, and Aaron's belief in Suren was not fake.
The barbarian king's mouth was open for a long time, his knees weakened, and he knelt in front of Aaron.
"I, Harald the Heartless, and my son, Hafdan in the white robe, on behalf of my Bedai barbarians, am willing to submit to His Highness the General!"
