A cannonball the size of a basketball fell into the army of living corpses of the Delos Empire, exploding flesh and blood, and although the living corpses did not listen to death, their bodies were blown to pieces, no different from dead. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
The living corpses that were blown to pieces were still not dead, they were swaying on the ground, but they had lost the ability to fight, on the contrary, their presence greatly hindered the speed of the living corpses in the rear.
The artillery fire continued, and the living corpse army stubbornly advanced more than 3,000 meters to the Elwin defense line, and the gunner troops fought and retreated again and again until the living corpse army of more than 50,000 people was wiped out.
The number of casualties on the side is zero, and the living corpse legion of the Delos Empire is completely annihilated.
Without Lasio's newly developed equipment enhancement, the outcome of this battle would never have been like this.
The gunmen raised their weapons and shouted in bursts of cheer.
In the past, when attacked by the Delos Empire, the principality deliberately tolerated it, and would fight back unless it was forced to do so, and such a feat of annihilating the enemy without casualties had never been done before.
Kelly stood on a high spot and shouted, "It's just a small victory, I ask you, what do you want to do now?"
The gunmen stopped shouting and looked at Kelly in unison.
Kelly raised her arms and shouted, "We're going to kill back, let Delos taste the power of the Principality's gunslingers!"
Kill back?
Hearing this, many gunner soldiers had surprised looks on their faces.
All along, it was the Delos Empire that was invading the Duchy of Belmar, and the Duchy had never had the idea of actively attacking the territory of the Delos Empire.
This...... Can it really be?
The gunmen looked at Kelly excitedly.
"Kill back!"
"Kill back!"
Kelly shouted, leading the gunmen out of the Elwyn Line.
Lando, the commander of the Living Corpse Legion, who was hiding from a distance to watch the battle, saw this scene. Scared out of the guts. Turn around and run.
The counterattack of the gunners' units began.
For the first time in history. Duchy forces defended against the invasion of the Imperial Legion and took advantage of the situation to counterattack the Imperial territory.
Bang! Bang!
When the gunfire rang out in the territory of the Delos Empire, the ill-prepared Imperial legions had no choice but to flee.
The counterattack was fought beautifully, with Kelly, the commander of the Gunslinger unit, capturing the border defense line of the Delos Empire and using it as a new stronghold.
For the first time in hundreds of years, the territory of the principality expanded into the Delos Empire.
Lando, the commander of the Living Legion, fled all the way back to the Golden City and rushed to the palace to report to Emperor Leon.
"Your Majesty. The legion of the living corpses was wiped out. β
Lando fell to his knees, not even daring to lift his head.
Leon looked at Lando with a blank face, drew his sword, and cut off his head.
Lando's head rolled on the ground a few times, his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe it was real.
Without even asking the reason for the defeat, he was directly beheaded, and if this scene was seen by the imperial ministers, they would definitely be shocked, although the emperor Leon was a warmonger. But he has always had respect for his courtiers, just like Lando's last failed invasion of the Duchy of Belmar. became a prisoner, and he only demoted Lando's official position, but did not behead him.
"Waste, damn it. β
Leon, who was expressionless, said coldly, and arrogantly hugged the emaciated and thin Queen Rukia in his arms, pinched her face and asked, "You said yes, my dear queen?"
Lu Yaqi didn't answer, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.
"I'm disappointed that the Legion of Living Corpses has failed, but that's okay, I still have stronger weapons, smile at me, my dear queen, do you hear that?"
Leon sneered and slapped Rukia a few times on the cheek, and Rukia barely managed to squeeze out a smile.
"That's right. Leon carried his blood-stained sword and shouted, "Come, Commander Landu committed suicide in front of the palace for his failure to attack the Elwyn Line, and ordered him to be buried thickly." β
The two soldiers ran over and saw the blood-stained sword in Leon's hand, and at the same time were startled and stunned for a moment, before they panicked and carried Lando's body and head out.
"Stop!"
Leon let out a soft snort, and the two soldiers stopped.
"Stick your tongue out. β
The two soldiers did not dare to disobey the emperor's order, and honestly stuck out their tongues, and Leon, carrying a long sword, cut off their tongues.
"Let's go. β
With their mouths covered in blood, the two soldiers carried Lando's body away in pain.
"Even if the news of Lando's killing gets out, it doesn't matter to me, but in that case, I'll have one less warrior. β
Leon walked up to Rucia, reached out and stroked her pretty face, and said softly: "Although Lando is a waste, his fiancΓ©e Margaret is an outstanding talent, her husband committed suicide in defeat, if this matter reaches her mouth, she will definitely be angry and regard the principality as a lifelong enemy, hahahaha, my dear queen, I am so smart, why don't you laugh?"
Leon pinched Rukia's face hard.
Rukia squeezed a smile out of her face, but with desperation.
The news of Lando's defeat and suicide quickly spread, and Margaret, the goddess of war of the empire, hurried to hear the news, and fainted on the spot when she saw Lando's body.
"Raymond, I swear in the name of the gods, I will kill all your relatives and friends, and I will torture you for the rest of your life!"
Margaret, who came to her senses, screamed.
Things were as Leon expected, the tragic death of her fiancΓ© Lando made Margaret hate the Duchy of Belmar to the core, and took the initiative to ask for help and attack the Duchy of Belmar.
"Margaret, I can understand your feelings, don't be impatient, within half a month, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. β
This is Lyon's promise to Marguerite.
At the thought of Raymond, Margaret gritted her teeth in hatred.
Half a year ago, after she stole the strengthening furnace and returned to the Golden City, she was rewarded handsomely by Leon, but the good times did not last long, and the strengthening furnace failed to produce even a finished product, so it broke down, and Margaret looked around for craftsmen to repair it, but never repaired the strengthening furnace.
It was a matter of the strengthening furnace that it was broken, but outsiders did not understand it that way at all, and almost everyone in the know believed that the empire was deliberately concealing it.
Because of this, she lost Leon's trust and was sent to the border of Terry as a commander.
Margaret was very angry, so she naturally knew the responsibility and blamed Raymond.
In the middle of the night, Emperor Leon quietly left the palace alone and appeared in the palace of Estor.
The person who was waiting for him was none other than that strange old man, Madoul.
Mardoll sat in front of the test bench and said without looking back: "I said a long time ago, the defects of the living corpse potion are too big, you don't listen, now you know the bitterness, right?"
"What is my suffering? It's not me who died. β
"You are indeed a cold-blooded person. β
"Hehe, you're not the same. β
Mardoll snorted heavily, "I'm not like you. β
"Using human bodies for experiments, the real person in charge of the Bilmark Proving Ground project, Mentor Mardole, who took millions of lives in a single experiment, is really not cold-blooded?"
Mardal glanced back at Leon: "I did that, I have my reasons, it's different from you. β
"But the result is the same. β
"Whatever you want. β
"How's the development of the new drug?"
"It can be put into mass production in half a month at most. β
"Yay. β
"Don't be too happy, the efficacy of this batch of potions is not very stable, if it is according to my opinion, it is better to wait until I have perfected the efficacy before putting it into mass production. β
"No, it's too long, I can't wait. β
Leon turned to leave, but suddenly he thought of something, and turned back and asked, "When will those children give it to me?"
"Those children are my greatest treasure, the most perfect test subjects, and they are still in the experimental growth stage, and you don't have to fight their ideas in a short time. β
"You're always striving for perfection, there's no point in that, can you just use it?"
"An idiot will not understand the idea of a genius. β
Leon's face changed, and he threw up his sleeves and left. (To be continued.) )
