In the wee hours of the morning, the stars fade in the west, and a scarlet halo shines through the misty morning light, lighting up the world and revealing its most truly terrifying side to the eyes of all observers.

That was the battlefield after the battle.

After a night of precipitation, the blood, which had been the most red and dazzling, had turned into black dust, and the broken weapons and armor, tattered flags and the corpses of the war dead were overlapped, and in the morning light, a strange and quiet, doomsday-like scene was constructed......

The victors have already done their job, and no one will have any extra mercy for the corpses of the vanquished, the desolate battlefield is destined to be the graveyard of the losers, the lone wolves who wander among them are the guests of the loser's funeral, and the crows are the presiding officers of the ceremony, and after they have jumped over the corpses and twisted the most tender and fat meals with their long hard beaks, they will naturally give them a smug, tomb-song ah-ah or two.

The defeat of the empire may have been predestined long ago.

The three Elector Legions, who were supposed to rely on them, were drawn to another place...... The only remaining advantage of the Imperials on the frontal battlefield was that they had nearly 10,000 more soldiers than their opponents.

Of course, the commanders of the empire will not be discouraged by this, because they believe that they still have at least the advantage of Su zhì, although the Lin Lulan family has always been on the edge of the circle of great nobles in Illyria, but after all, it is also a great nobleman with hundreds of years of accumulation, even if it is limited by the production capacity of horses, the cavalry unit has not been fully developed, but the equipment and training of the infantry, but has its own unique tradition. This is how they were able to rise to prominence after the barbarian Urdu family,

Moreover, former opponents. Now that they have become allies, the three thousand heavily armed knights of the Urdu family have added a thick layer of protection like heavy armor to their confidence.

It's a pity that they didn't know that in just two days, their opponent was quietly accumulating strength, and a group of national mages numbering more than 100 people quietly returned from the direction of Cui Fandi City. Converging with the army - after all, some other bad news is reaching the emperor's camp one by one at the same time, attracting all their nerves.

Starting from Cui Fandi, several cities have changed their flags one after another, marking that the entire Duke of Lin Lulan has completely entered chaos. Even half of the territory of the neighboring Urdu family was in chaos. The possibility of the supply lines being cut off weighed on the minds of the Empire like a lump of lead, forcing them to start a campaign as hard as they could. Victory in exchange for the stability of the army's heart.

And Tumenis. It seems to give them a chance.

At this critical moment, they were the first to break the stalemate and leave the battlefield which was more advantageous to them, and they marched another thirty miles to the east of the empire, re-encamped at the Machenle Mountains, and the generals were fully deployed on the flat ground at the foot of the mountains. An offensive formation was made.

This action undoubtedly made the imperial side ecstatic.

Although the name of Mount Macille carries the word mountain, in reality, it is nothing more than outside the Mango Basin. A large hill of less than two hundred feet, one high and one low, formed a short, flat slope at the foot of the mountain, which had a slight topographical advantage over the Tumenians who advanced eastward, but it was far inferior to the original condescending battlefield.

Therefore, the Empire almost immediately made the decision to face the battle.

The beginning of the war was not much different from the pattern that had lasted for hundreds of years in this plane - when the sun banished the morning fog, the two sides lined up their soldiers on the battlefield...... Forwards, left and right wings spread out slowly forward, first detecting the battle of the rangers, then the striker.

The only difference was that at the beginning of the temptation, the Empire had noticed that in front of the northern right flank of the Tumenes, on a small hill, the mages of the Tumenes had set up a large illusion - not sophisticated, even crude, and the only effect was to make the thousands of peasant soldiers with them appear to be elite soldiers.

Or, it's a good way to boost your morale, so that the difference in strength between the two sides doesn't seem to be noticeable, but unfortunately, it doesn't have any deceptive effect on any spellcaster - it doesn't even need to be aided by magic, and the discerning person can notice the false light and the almost identical soldier's face.

So this seemingly self-deceptive tactic has rightly attracted ridicule from the Empire...... Even Earl Nickson, who is in charge of the command of the Imperial Coalition and has always been known for his prudence, did not pay much attention to this information, and the direction of the hill would not be selected as the main target by the emperor who was good at cavalry combat, so he paid more attention to the heavy knights that Tumenis focused on on the other side, which was the most elite main cavalry that was cobbled together by integrating most of the military forces of their two largest territories, Blackhawk, Rytg and the other three smaller territories.

Another piece of good news that came before the battle was that the Black Hawk family did not send their world-famous Giant Eagle Knight into the war—it was rumored that the head of the Blackhawk family had some friction with His Royal Highness the Prince who had just taken over the power of Tuminis, so he refused to allow such elite troops to enter the war for some reason.

This news made the Imperial side, especially the commander-in-chief, Earl Nickerson particularly excited - after all, this not only meant that he did not need to deal with those terrible special forces that were best at sneaking up on the opponent's command group, but also that the opponent's main cavalry would have very big holes in the battle spirit, coordination, and even the way of fighting.

It's Fight to Fame. The best chance to go down in history...... After careful consideration, the commander decided to put all the cavalry on his right flank and strive to confront the opponent head-on, and allocated more than half of their battle mages and 1,000 archers to ensure the superiority of this knightly battle.

No matter how powerful magic is, in this battlefield of iron and blood, the main body of war is still cavalry, and controlling cavalry is equivalent to controlling the war......

It should be said that the subsequent battle situation did not meet the commander's expectations.

Some situations even appeared very quickly, after half an hourglass after the start of the battle. It has already appeared.

Under the onslaught of the Imperial Knights, the left flank of the entire Tumenes Legion began to retreat, and the capital invested by your family cavalry was rewarded, even if the magic blessing obtained was inferior to that of the opponent, but after the first two rounds of charge, it had already caused twice as much damage as the opponent!

As a result, the balance of war began to tilt to one end.

The retreat of the enemy boosted the morale of the Empire's side. But it also made their pride skyrocket...... When the heavy cavalry of Tumenes began to retreat, the knights of the House of Urdu immediately began a round of rout, and the left flank of Tumenes was simply vulnerable at this time, and kept retreating. In the end, the footsteps of these knights were close to rout, and even the Chinese army began to fluctuate. If it weren't for the fact that the mage regiment began to bombard the Imperial formation with the Tour of France ceremony at this time. Then the war really almost entered the end of a total collapse.

But is that really the case?

In fact. Change is happening very quickly.

The retreat of Tumenis's left flank and the linkage of the central army made the entire army formation begin to rotate, and the entire battlefield has been completely involved, only the side that is not equipped by either side - Tumenis's right flank and the left flank of the empire are still holding each other, so unconsciously, the entire battlefield has tilted, and the armies of the two countries are like fierce snakes fighting at two ends. Entangled every inch and every point of yourself, trying to press down on the opponent's head and end this war.

However, the snake of Tumenis was at this time. Another head is revealed.

The peasants and soldiers arranged on the left flank moved, and they actually began to charge actively, and countless arrows rushed from several of their trailers like a torrential rain! And the more than 100 Tumenes mages hidden among them finally suddenly became difficult at this time, and a large area of poisonous cloud magic was urged by the wind creation technique, and the left wing of the empire on the opposite side suddenly suffered heavy losses!

The addition of this new force caused a catastrophe for the Empire, and when they finally mobilized mages to blow away the terrible poisonous cloud, it was now clear that the enemy army was no longer on the left flank...... In the advance and retreat, the rotating military formation sent them to the rear position of the emperor.

And the Tuminis cavalry, which had been rested, had already detoured to the flank of the emperor and almost turned into the back, and the addition of these three thousand soldiers turned the battle into a massacre. Within only one and a half hourglasses, the empire had collapsed, with nearly 3,000 casualties! Nearly 5,000 people were captured, and even Duke Lin Lulan, who was one of the brains of the coalition army, was captured, and Earl Nexon was killed in battle, and the entire Lin Lulan family's territory was basically occupied.

“...... And our losses were only 633 knights and 1,376 warriors killed, and more than 2,300 wounded. ”

With a heavy exhalation as the end of his sentence, little Count Ryan frowned, his little face already flushed...... Although the process of this battle was not complicated, it was not easy for such a teenager to describe it in a simple and concise way, but also clearly and meticulously—especially if it was limited to the short journey from the gate of the camp to the middle, which was less than a mile away.

But the guy who demanded so much of him didn't feel the slightest bit guilty about it—the Psychic Warlock didn't even have the concentration necessary for a good listener, and when the little count described the appearance of the hidden mage and the repeater, his gaze was already wandering, and he didn't know where to go.

After all, the victory was somewhat unexpected, but somewhat reasonable.

If, after creating so many favorable conditions for himself, the generals of Tuminis, plus the mage who planned this qiē behind his back, and so on, could not make a beautiful victory, then Edward would probably have to consider whether he should turn his back on these pig teammates and lead a country himself.

"Hey...... Well, your Excellency the Viscount, what kind of brilliant results have you achieved in the last few days?"

The psychic warlock's casual expression made Miss Ryan on the side roll her eyes...... In fact, if it weren't for the fact that she had to take care of her brother's status as an earl with a large group of people around, and that His Royal Highness the Prince's military tent was already close at hand, she would have grabbed this hateful fellow by the collar and made him understand what true etiquette was.

Of course, given the absolute difference in strength between the two, this kind of thing can only exist in the delusion of this eldest lady. So as soon as the conversation changed, she simply began to provoke a verbal confrontation with bad intentions: "I don't think all of your subordinates have returned, I remember that you brought out 3,000 soldiers, right?"

"Hmm...... Half of the battle was lost. Edward replied casually absentmindedly, and then couldn't help frowning.

This time, his losses can be said to be quite heavy, and the soldiers who were originally planned to be collected under his command have lost more than half of them - most of them were consumed in the battle against the Ice Wind Demon Bear, but the few magic spells of that ** division are undoubtedly a little painful, after all, the remaining guys have been endowed with the ability of the Emperor Elector by him. That kind of endowment consumes Edward's power...... Although that power came from royal power, Edward knew that the only thing that could drive such an effect was the divine power he had absorbed in the previous battles.

Although there are indeed a lot of corresponding gains-most of them are left by the ** master. These include a full scroll case, and several magic items. Staffs. A robe, two spell books, and the floating platform...... But perhaps the most important takeaways were the strange changes that were induced by the power of Isgandar.

Unfortunately, the harvest is not always good......

For example, when he touched the Elector, he felt the voice - the agreement with the Scarlet Knight was just a two-sided strike, so this night's rush made him still not check what the symbol represented. The only thing that is more certain is that this power certainly does not belong to any good force - no good god can have four horns in his head, let alone use darkness and fire as a symbol.

Maybe it's some kind of evil spirit...... If you tie in to the fact that guy can give these nine powers. I'm afraid that the usual demons can't accurately summarize this kind of existence, and they may have to add a 'big' word to do it.

But there are also a lot of well-known demons.

It may have been that the rest was too poor, so it was a little difficult to concentrate his thoughts, and he thought about these things haphazardly, until the ceremonial officer at the door sang his name, and he reacted slightly, and led a group of people into the tent.

What happened next was lackluster.

“...... Then, keep Your Excellency the Ladyess, as well as your original fiefs and subjects, and add an additional rank of knighthood......" Prince Strand's eyes flashed with joy: "As for Edward, your merits are outstanding, but for a while, I can't even think of what kind of reward should be given to you, so let's be promoted to His Excellency the Earl first......"

The six lords of the city, including the Marquisess, swore allegiance to Tumenis, a result that overjoyed the prince, but for a moment it seemed difficult for him to decide what appropriate reward to give Edward, and he could only verbally raise his title by two levels—the highest decision he could have made without asking for advice.

Interestingly, though, this decision was made in the minds of all of you, the Tumenes...... The psychic warlock keenly catches a lot of unhappiness in it.

Obviously, in the eyes of this group, what he did was nothing more than to take advantage of the main force to fight with the enemy's army, and ran behind the enemy to harass him, which was not a merit, even if he brought back a few teams of imperial prisoners, most of them were empty because of the excessive requisition in the rear of the empire, so they picked it up.

Moreover, battles such as sieges are certainly much greater than field battles, and even if the main force of the empire is defeated, the reward for ordinary soldiers is only some military exploits plus a few gold coins, where is there more benefit in running into the enemy's territory and plundering?

Such ideas don't need any guidance, jealousy is already their best catalyst, and there may be rumors that spread between them and unintentionally, right?

But Edward didn't bother to care.

The reason why he joined up with the main force of the army was only because he needed enough healers to rest the damage of his own team, and by the way, the army was to rest and recuperate. And in the future, he may have to act alone for a while, and without the help of teleportation magic, it is not realistic to send this force back to the territory, so he can only temporarily merge with the large team, and then consider slowly transporting it back.

Now, he no longer has much interest in fighting for these so-called feats - he doesn't want to be a prince of the town, and ordinary manpower can't help him much in battle, so he doesn't have much interest in participating in the battle between humans, and now he needs to care about the battle for a god.

Guannard, the god of ooze monsters—
