Chapter 155: Grand Duke
The Herodian army, which had the advantage on the battlefield, encountered *** trouble this time.
With more than 30,000 troops, the three classes of infantry, cavalry, and demons form a fully functional synthetic force, and the griffon army that dominates the sky to help, it should have been the main force that would have won the battle and destroyed the Primorsky Territory in a single battle.
Unexpectedly, Vincent von Steyakad, the lord of the Coastal Territory, not only had a tough attitude, but also was insidious and despicable, and if he couldn't beat him, he directly shook people, not only brought in the plateau mercenaries, but also pulled the strongest combat power of the demons on the continent to the battlefield.
Grand Duke Xia De is the only surviving brother of the Demon King Salintas, this three hundred and fifty-year-old Chaos Demon is powerful, and has experienced many civil strife and magnificent Demon Land Wars of the Demon Clan, and is still standing today, which can be called the Demon of the Demon Race.
Because of his strong strength, he can be a maverick, Grand Duke Xia De has always stayed away from the political strife in the Demon Domain, and in a way similar to self-exile, he chose to live in the territory of the continent and became the mainstay of the power of the Demon Continent.
With his noble bloodline and strong strength, Grand Duke Xia De has been maintaining the balance of power between the demons and the human race through diplomatic and military means in the mainland for thirty years.
In Vincent's view, this is a very generous and patterned thing.
Whether it is the three kingdoms or the demon lords, no matter who makes a risky move to violate the peace treaty of Wind Castle, Grand Duke Xia De, who personally participated in the signing of the peace treaty back then, will stop it, which can be called an example of taking the overall situation into account.
Whatever the Archduke's own motives for defending the peace treaty, the fact that he was personally opposed to the war was extremely appetizing to Vincent.
Maintaining peace is to create conditions for one's own development, isn't such a demon elder worthy of respect and praise?
In fact, the sixth prince himself had not seen Grand Duke Xia De for many years, let alone Teacher Wen who had traveled through time, and his understanding of this legendary figure was only limited to the memories of the sixth prince in the past and other people's evaluations of Grand Duke Xia De.
Although politically, Grand Duke Xia De is a traditional moderate demon clan who is not interested in waging war and expanding his territory, he also has his own fetish, which is the breathtaking desire to collect.
No matter where they come from, what they are used for, and how much they are worth, Grand Duke Xia De only collects treasures that are unique to the world.
The family affection between the demons, even between brothers and sisters, is not intimate, let alone the relationship between uncles and nephews of the next generation, Grand Duke Xia De will not personally bring the precious bone dragon army to him because Vincent is his nephew, he values Vincent's promise.
"I have the best treasure in the world, and I would like to give it to my uncle. As long as my territory is protected from war, I am willing to continue to present my esteemed uncle with unparalleled treasures, so that your treasure house will be admired by the world forever."
With the protection of the god of craftsmanship and art, Vincent dared to speak out loud on the letter of help.
In order to convince this discerning collector, Vincent also took a bit of magic to send the letter not only through the extremely magic-intensive portal, but also on the gift he had made to the Grand Duke of Xia De.
Giving gifts to this elder, who is the head of the four princes of the demon clan, is not an easy task, and it is even a risky thing.
Because Grand Duke Xia De is a person of insight and taste, more than two hundred years of collecting career, so that he is extremely familiar with all kinds of rare treasures in this world, just find something to fool him, not only will not be appreciated, but may also be disgusted by the Grand Duke.
There were once a few nobles in the demon clan who couldn't shoot the horse, but were severely punished by the angry Grand Duke, and even lost their lives.
In the position of Grand Duke Xia De, he didn't care at all because of his eccentricity, and he was worried that he couldn't prove his beliefs with a maverick style.
The Grand Duke personally participated in the war and swept away Herodes' army, which shows that the Grand Duke must be satisfied with the gift he gave last time.
Otherwise, even if Vincent sacrificed more blood today and made the summoning circle bigger, Grand Duke Xia De would not be tempted when he got the signal.
If he is still satisfied with his toys, then Vincent is sure to get closer to his uncle and find a place for his territory
The thighs of the heroic man.
This matter is not only related to the current crisis of the territory, but also closely related to Vincent's status in the demon clan, after all, as a small lord, someone assassinates him, and he kills so accurately and efficiently, it is difficult to say who is behind the ghost.
The Demon King Salintas has not fully recovered his strength for thirty years, which is not good news, and the demon princes who respect the strong must also have their own ideas.
In case it is his own group of cheap brothers and sisters who are hacked, then finding more supporters of a stronger family is a matter of life.
Seeing Grand Duke Xia De chasing the Herod army with a bone dragon, and also generously performing the undead resurrection technique for his own army, bringing a third of the skeletons back to life in place, Vincent was simply overjoyed - you must know that Grand Duke Xia De is not a good man and a woman, he will only show a good impression of those who can satisfy his desires.
At the moment, this is not only a good feeling, but it is almost about to drive the Herodians to a dead end.
Seeing that the Herodian army was so embarrassed, Vincent decisively ordered that while he was sick and wanted his life, the whole army pressed up and surrounded and annihilated the remaining Herodians.
Only death can make the enemy realize his stupidity, so that he can think from the bottom of his heart about submission, and any wishful mercy is superfluous on the battlefield.
After a big battle, there are less than 5,000 territorial troops left, and it must be even more difficult to surround the enemy who is five times as strong as you, but with the help of the bone dragon, whether it is a four-legged knight or a two-legged infantry, there is no way to escape, and can only keep retreating under the threat of the bone dragon.
Whoever dares to resist will immediately be torn to pieces by the upright bone dragon, and it will also affect all the people around him.
The Grand Duke of Hade did what he said and allowed the Herodians to stop, but did not allow them to escape.
Originally, the large group of griffons wanted to test it, but Grand Duke Xia De was furious and summoned ten black bone dragons to kill the griffin group, killing more than forty griffons on the spot, and also killing the same number of griffin knights.
The remaining griffons saw that the situation was not good, and they scattered as birds and beasts - birds and beasts in the literal sense of the word.
Although the griffon king Quibich was not reconciled, considering the griffin's poor fertility rate and his own status, he still left a string of terrifying sorrows and fled against the wind.
It is certainly not stupid to be the griffon king, and like all smart people, it knows the truth that "the weak are afraid of the strong, the strong are afraid of the horizontal, the horizontal are afraid of the stunned, and the stunned are afraid of dying".
Bone dragons are not only dead, they have no life to die at all, they are killing machines without intelligence, they do not think about the consequences, nor do they calculate the gains and losses.
Fight these rotten and filthy skeletons, in case the strength of the injury decreases, and after returning to the White Rock Canyon, if the other griffins have the illusion of "I seem to be able to do it", it will inevitably be a battle of life and death.
Anyway, there is only a relationship of interest between himself and the Terrans, and this intervention has already lost a lot of members, and it is not a noble lord who is sorry for Herode.
Thirty-six plans are the best plan, and as soon as the griffin is gone, the Herodians on the earth are completely desperate.
