Chapter 216: The One Who Defected
Although there are three or four million troops around Sacred Heart City, in fact, only Yingjim's 1.2 million troops can really be mobilized, and there are nearly two million troops around Sacred Heart City.
It's really that these nobles have been frightened by Chu Nan's ghostly spirit, just ask if a million troops suddenly and quietly appeared around you, who can bear this feeling? Not to mention that there are two million troops left, even if it is doubled, they will not think it is much.
When he knew that the army of 1.2 million was about to invade, Chu Nan did not panic, but was quite straightforward, and directly made the army form a formation and stationed it in a place with a back to the swamp. With his back to the swamp, which avoided the possibility of being attacked from behind by the enemy, Chu Nan originally planned to have his back against the river, but gave up this idea considering the naval army.
Cannons, muskets, formations...... Under Chu Nan's design, the soldiers are like units in a game, everyone stands still and waits for the battle to come, and only the undead army has such high discipline. You let the human army try to stand still in the same place without moving, and try it before the war starts.
Chu Nan had already put up a posture for the enemy to attack, but Chu Nan would not be stupid enough not to take any precautions, and Chu Nan had already arranged a reconnaissance magic array around the battlefield, like a hidden camera. And these cameras are directly connected to Chu Nan's brain, it can be said that once there is any abnormal movement within a radius of ten kilometers, Chu Nan can get the news in the fastest time, which is much more useful than any reconnaissance scout.
Now that the entire region already knows that the undead army is stationed here, Chu Nan did not deliberately hide the whereabouts of the army. Not afraid of others knowing at all. What he meant was to make a break with Ingim's army, and settle the cause and effect of almost being assassinated that year.
Chu Nan, who was making a weapon, suddenly stood up from the ground. Look at the forest in the distance.
The forests near the Great Army have been cut down by the undead army, not just to make zuò musket artillery. Instead, it prevented the enemy from using fire to burn the entire forest, forcing Chu Nan's army to drill out of the forest and then be beheaded by the enemy forces who were on standby.
There is no reason for humans to cut down forests when the army is stationed, and the surrounding forests when the city is being built, so as not to be used by the enemy to make siege equipment.
In the image that came, a group of hundreds of people in black were shuttling rapidly.
Could it be that the enemy army sent an assassin unit specially for assassination? Chu Nan's first thought was like this.
But Chu Nan soon overturned this conclusion, because Chu Nan felt the breath of the same kind in this group of people! a thick, deep aura of dark magic.
The identities of these men in black are also cultivators of dark magic!
On the road that this group of people must pass, Chu Nan sent dozens of cavalry to rush over.
"You say. Is it really effective for us to run around like this?" asked a man in black as he asked his companion.
"What do you want? Our identity on the continent is the same as it was hundreds of years ago, and everyone wants to wipe us out. From a few months ago to now, how many of our innocent companions have been burned at the stake, and how many have been hanged just for learning some dark knowledge......" The man in black shuddered as he spoke about the manner in which his companion died.
"If you don't make an effort, the next person to die may be you, or I ......"
This group of men in black is the dark mage that everyone on the Roland continent spurns, and after the outbreak of the incident about dark mages on the border between the Valois dynasty and the HRE empire, the frenzied wave of persecution began. Countless innocent people have been killed. One after another dark mages have fled.
But there is no tomorrow in this kind of confused days, no one can predict what will happen in the future, from a third-class apprentice to a ninth-rank great magician, every dark magician is full of confusion in his heart.
But in the midst of this confusion and darkness. A glimmer of light has appeared in the eastern part of the continent! Like a whirlwind, the Shalama dynasty has braved the world's condemnation to use the undead army to wage war!
Although it is separate from the human army, it also proves that the Shalama dynasty is tolerant of dark mages! not only do they not persecute them, but they also use them. This is a great temptation for dark mages who have always been on the edge.
A few of those who had escaped persecution simply gathered a few hundred companions. Among them are powerful great magicians, and there are also small apprentices. A group of 100 people boarded the road to Roland in the east.
And along the way, they also met a lot of people with such a purpose. Therefore, for the sake of safety, everyone will simply get together and run towards the Shalama Dynasty together.
I believe that the new monarch of the Salama Dynasty will definitely welcome their arrival, after all, although a group of them are dark magicians, but with hundreds of magicians joining at once, no matter which force can not have the idea of refusing. And after this storage, it is equivalent to releasing a friendly signal to other dark mages on the Roland Continent, and there will definitely be more dark mages who will come to defect at that time.
And it just so happened that at this time, the news that Ingim was preparing to march into the undead army was also spreading, and the eyes of the entire continent were focused on this battle. The group simply chose to join this army of the undead with the mentality of surrendering. It is believed that after a war victory as a vote, their value will definitely be further affirmed by Salamma.
What they didn't know was that this army of the undead was only in the hands of Chu Nan, and it was another thing to say whether their existence would be accommodated by the rest of the Shalama dynasty.
"Stride, stride!!" Just as the group began to talk in a whisper, a group of horsemen suddenly burst out, but they did not have weapons in their hands.
The people who had been frightened and alerted relaxed when they saw that it was the undead cavalry, and that they were not holding weapons.
It seems that the dark magicians in this jungle know their existence, and in that case, it is easy to say anything, and it also saves them the pain of explaining too much.
The undead cavalry made a follow-up movement under Chu Nan's control, and the dark mages glanced at each other and followed.
When about half an hour later, when they saw the clearing in the middle of the forest, the group was dumbfounded. (To be continued......)
