The camp was completely in disarray, and it seemed that there were enemies everywhere. Fear hurts more than a sword, and Baron Brown stands by Siegel's side and watches as he keeps casting spells.

He rubbed his chin, finally understanding the role of the mage in the truth. If the family had a mage to help them in the Star Kingdom, they would not have lost their main force in the war, resulting in a collapse and could only go to the New World to find an opportunity to rise again.

The priest of the god of warriors, while good, can only strengthen the soldier's hand-to-hand combat ability and heal his wounds after being wounded. No fireballs, no lightning, no vicious dogs scurrying around.

Fireballs are much more powerful than trebuchets and are very accurate. As long as you see an enemy gathering, you can release it from a distance. The thought of when the Confederate siege was bombarded by fireballs made Brown twitch in his heart. But it's a great feeling to be on the side of the fireball releaser and watch it explode in the midst of the enemy's dazzling fire.

Manna commanded the cavalry, constantly weaving through the enemy lines, not seeking to inflict as much damage each time, but to drive the enemy as far as possible and cause chaos. Elinth, the dwarf, led his people and marched around the heights in elite squads, striking at soldiers who tried to approach.

The Orc forces were released by Siegel, and their orders were simple: stay alive and grab the horses. With their keen sense of smell, they could quickly find the stables as long as the Brown family pointed in a general direction. Orcs also don't need to use torches, and their ability to see dark makes them better suited to night battles than the Southern Alliance. They rushed into the stables, and the disobedient horses were killed with an axe, and the meek and obedient were taken away.

Many good warhorses obey only the orders of their masters. Now they are all lying in pools of blood. The tyrannical element of the orc bloodline is triggered. Combat effectiveness has reached a new level. Many shouted Long live the lord. With a long string of horses behind him, he rampaged through the camp.

Siegel is casting a large spell, using temporary rune stones as nodes to construct a battlefield magic circle. If used by some archmages, it can constantly release fireballs or rain acid. However, Siegel can only control simpler spells such as silent phantoms in this way.

He constantly creates scenes of human soldiers dying tragically and increases the number of corpses on the ground. Just like a lie, if repeated many times, it can be taken as the truth. The number of casualties of the Southern coalition was thus exaggerated. One by one, the fleeing soldiers, with rumors, with fear, with a crumbling morale, formed a chain reaction.

"It's been a failure, so fast. Baron Brown looked at the rout of the Southern Alliance, only the flags of the three families were still flying, barely holding up in the chaos. Many soldiers fled in a hurry, gathering under those flags of their own accord. Seeing that the situation was not good, they fled south along the ore avenue with their rout.

The nobles threw away their armor. However, the peasant soldiers were in much better shape. Since they were self-armed, the equipment was their entire property. Participate in battles in order to earn additional income. You can't afford to lose your money. They had been sleeping in light armor, so they were armed to escape. Therefore, these people still have a certain amount of combat effectiveness, and they occupy a numerical advantage, which may cause accidents if they are pressed.

There were still many places in the camp that were still resisting, and some knights formed battle formations to fight friendly forces that were chaotic because of the bombing of the camp. They shouted and cheered for each other. Siegel ordered Mana to blow the horn and rally the team. These fighters who are still holding out don't need to go toe-to-toe with them, they will seem too inefficient.

Baron Brown came to Siegel, congratulated him in advance, and asked, "What are your plans next?"

"Pursue along the Ore Boulevard. Siegel said, "Are you coming?"

"Isn't it okay to pursue the rout?" Baron Brown frowned: "After this battle, you can already become one of the powerful nobles in the southern part of the New World, and some small lords will defect to you, so it would be better to show mercy at this time." ”

Siegel thought for a moment, then said, "There is some truth in what you say, but since they dare to come to my territory, they should pay the price. It's easy to come, but it's not so easy to go. ”

He turned to Manna and said, "Lead the cavalry in pursuit along the way, leave him alone if he lays down his arms and surrenders, and leave nothing to the rest." You will have to start your journey back after dawn, and if you can take the prisoners with you, it doesn't matter if you don't. Your safety comes first. ”

"If there are nobles who demand the treatment of prisoners?"

Siegel looked at Baron Brown and said, "Waste of time." The labor of mining still has some value, so what is the purpose of keeping the nobles?"

Manna nodded, she was always very loyal and meticulous in carrying out Siegel's orders.

Baron Brown naturally did not open his mouth to stop this order, and the nobles who were close to him received the message at the same time as the battle began, and honestly hid in the corner of the camp, avoiding the chaos. The other nobles didn't care whether they were dead or alive, and the ransom seemed good, but it was never as affordable as the land.

He thought about it carefully and said, "Baron Siegel, there is a presumptuous request. I wonder if I could please introduce you to the mages of the Federation. It would be a pleasure to have one or two advisors to the territory. ”

"As a resident mage, I'm afraid your current territory isn't very attractive. However, if you invite a spellcaster to cast a spell for you, then it is negotiable. ”

"I see, if you were to cast a fireball on the battlefield for a day, how much would it cost?"

"One day?" Siegel shook his head, "The Mage Federation once had a guide, or for internal mages, about asking other mages to assist in spell experiments. In a secure lab, if someone asks me to cast a fireball, the fee set by the association is 200 gold coins. Considering the danger of the battlefield and the delay in traveling back and forth, you need to prepare about three hundred and fifty gold coins to get to you for a fireball. Of course, if the quantity is large and the time is more concentrated, the price can be reduced a little. ”

Baron Brown smiled bitterly twice and never brought up the subject again. He suddenly felt that the charges of the priest of the god of warriors were not too outrageous. It's no wonder that the Southern Coalition will fail, if they can call in six mages, one of them will continue to cast spells. He calculated it inwardly. A whole day down. Every spell counts as a fireball. The amount of gold - the results were staggering.

"Mr. Baron, your soldiers are chasing the enemy on the Ore Avenue, and I wonder what to do with these people in the camp?" said Baron Brown, "It is better to hand it over to my soldiers and see if they have any intention of surrendering." ”

Siegel understood his intentions, so he said, "You can take half of all the loot." As for the knights......" the mage thought for a moment, "I only need craftsmen, all craftsmen, ordinary peasants. ”

"Deal. You are a very generous lord. Baron Brown said.

"Don't be in a hurry to compliment me just yet. There's one thing I need to tell you. The mage had a serious expression and stared into Brown's eyes: "Your brother Patrick, he came into contact with the mages of the Knox Society, and was cast a spell that affected his thinking. While he came up with a plan to attack the catapult camp, he also helped my enemies set a trap to kill me. That's not what he intended, and I won't do anything to him. As long as he is sure that he is completely free from the spell, he can leave Myr City. You can send someone at any time, whether it's a servant or a guard, it's up to you. ”

"How long will it take?"

"If it works. A month or two or so. ”

"You're cautious, but I understand it. Sir Brown said: "I want my brother to be the best he can be. ”

"There's nothing wrong with that. ”

Brown stretched. Moved his muscles for a moment, then patted his cheek. Finally, he didn't have to play the clown among the Southern Lords, and he turned back into the confident, courageous, young and promising lord. Although he is slightly inferior to Siegel, he believes that he can catch up after understanding what he is missing.

What kind of organization is the Knox Commons? Seems to have a hostile relationship with Siegel. They are too dangerous, and although they may be powerful, it is better not to touch them. The Mage Federation is in Waterdeep, so it might be better to consult the situation of the mage, even if there is no mage, it is not bad to make some apprentices, cultivate a good relationship, and plan for the future. No wonder Waterdeep City was able to become the largest city in the New World, knowing that a group of merchants could not have such great ability, it turned out to be the credit of the mage.

While thinking about establishing contact with the Mage Federation, he led his men to persuade the remaining knights to surrender, and maybe they could find good talents. Artisans and peasants brought in income, but now the south was in chaos, and with knights and troops there was territory. In terms of the distribution of the loot, it must be no problem to take more weapons and armor yourself, and leave the rest of the things in the Heim Collar, it will be too troublesome to carry them back.

Seeing Sir Brown leave, Siegel immediately ordered the army to return. Everyone was on guard and did not breathe a sigh of relief until they returned to the walls. Manna had been waiting for them here, and after a circle of her cavalry, she returned to the city of Myr along the passage of the Zebra Mountains.

"According to the pre-determined secret language, the first thing to do is to defend and avoid the emptiness of the city wall. Manna reported to Siegel: "We pursued only ten miles on the road, breaking up the ranks on the Ore Avenue, making it difficult for them to organize. Several noble guards shot arrows at us, and some were wounded, but fortunately there were no attritions. ”

"Well, if these soldiers can go back, the south will be chaotic for a while, so as to leave enough time for our Heim territory to develop. Siegel turned to face the warriors and exclaimed, "We have won this battle! Let us remember those who died and be forever grateful for the sacrifices they made. ”

"Once again, the Heim Lords are invincible even in the face of the combined forces of the Southern Lords! Without the combined efforts of humans, orcs, elves, gnomes, and dwarves, there is no point in having even the strongest walls. It was we who defended our homeland with both hands, and each of you should be proud!"

"All soldiers, whether city guards or militia, will be rewarded, and the families of those who died will be paid. At the same time, I decree that this year all the inhabitants of the territory will be exempted from the poll tax, and the forests and rivers will be opened for three days, so that the hunters can go hunting and bring back meat to improve their lives!"

The soldiers cheered loudly, and even the dwarves who helped the fist joined the group. Only Elint had a sad face, and he still had to explain the war mobilization order. Those who go out of the city with Siegel to fight can go to the hall of Myr to eat, where good food and wine are prepared. However, the other soldiers must also stand guard until there are no enemies in sight before they can really rest. (To be continued......)
