Section 337 revealed

When Bayral gave these orders, he was in a relaxed mood.

He's a seasoned veteran, and he doesn't get nervous even in the worst of times - but it's not just learned, it's a talent, a talent that belongs only to generals. But in the current situation, he really doesn't need to be nervous.

On the surface, he had roughly equal the number of troops under his command, but he knew exactly how much of an advantage he had. In fact, all the advantages that a general could have had were now in the hands of Bayer.

......

Now Marvin has seen that the attack is coming from the flank, to be specific, from the left. There was a hillside over there, and the slope was overgrown with rocks and bushes. A whole group of musketeers had come out of their hiding places and formed a horizontal formation of firing. It was these musketeers who fired the rain of bullets.

Although Marven was aware of what was happening, he couldn't figure out why he was premeditated in an ambush.

It's easy to spot that the place under attack is not just around Marven. If he was not mistaken, the entire Chaos Legion was under attack at this moment. The enemy came out of hiding and fired with ferocity and brazenly opened fire on the marching Chaos Legions. This is also the old rule of ambush warfare: ranged first, then melee troops attack.

If it was the cavalry that attacked at this time, then Marven would at least know that it was because Ashrufat had caught up. Maybe it was some trick played by Ashrufat that made Marven's subordinates mistakenly think that there was no pursuit, but in fact it was the starry night pursuit. But it was the musketeers who were in a good position to attack.

And the roar of those cannons. Even if Ashrufat is capable, it is impossible for him to catch up with a cannon, right?

But he couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't figure it out, Tzeentch's wizard lord was not the type with insufficient intelligence. Seeing that the rain of bullets shooting around him was not concentrating in this direction by accident, he immediately drove the magic disk to fly high.

Normally, this kind of detachment is tantamount to turning oneself into a live target, but the first is that the opposing musketeers have just finished firing, and it will take a little time to reload the gunpowder and load the bullets, and the second is that the sun is shining today.

As long as Marvin can fly a short distance and grab the high position in time with his back to the sun, then the threat of the musketeers will be low. In a world without sunglasses, human eyes can't look directly at the sun. In this case, if the bullet wants to hit Marven, it will not take a little luck or two.

The other Chaos wizards quickly understood Marven's approach. They immediately followed the example of their lord and flew into the sky with the magic disk.

Marvin's gamble won. When the musketeers were ready to fire, they couldn't aim at him (of course, they didn't know that this was the biggest prey). However, the other Chaos Wizards were unlucky because of their slow movements, and a wave of bullets came and knocked them down like birds. Even if the bullet is not fatal, falling from such a high position is not saved.

Two rows of crisp gunfire, seven or eight Tzeentch Chaos wizards were settled.

Of course, Marven flew into the sky, half to avoid bullets, and the other half to be able to see the whole shape clearly. But what he saw in front of him made him gasp.

I don't know where the soldiers came from, they are outflanking from all directions. And it was evident that the soldiers were not tired from the fierce fighting and the night march - they looked well-formed, energetic, and most importantly, their armor showed no signs of battle.

This is a new force. It can be considered at least that this is an army that has not yet undergone any combat attrition, is highly motivated, well-equipped, and in addition occupies the advantage of the terrain. They've cut the Chaos Legion into several sections, and the difference between victory and defeat is so obvious that it's impossible to leave anything to chance.

But that's not possible. This should not be Eshurufat's troops...... Their flag......

Then he recognized that it was the banner of the kingdom of Tiberius. This is a Tiberius army...... It's Bayer!

Marven quickly remembered that in the previous battle, this flag did not appear. But he didn't think much of it at the time, and now he knows it's too late.

Tiberius's Legion...... Bayral's troops did not take part in the previous battle. They took a detour to set up an ambush circle here, waiting for the defeated Chaos Legion to come and catch them all.

Is that so? Marven's face was pale. Now, Ashrufat's entire calculation is clear. Not only did he want to defeat the Chaos Legion in a head-to-head battle, but he also wanted to annihilate the Chaos Legion here......! That kind of set-up...... It's not because he doesn't trust the information Marven revealed, but it's completely intentional. The purpose is not to allow any formed Chaos Legion to leave the battlefield safely. He's really bold to say...... No, it should be said that he was bold! He arrogantly thought that he could defeat the Chaos Legion head-on with roughly equal strength (not combat power)!

So at that time...... Marven thinks that Ashrufat has left a large reserve army, but in fact, Ashrufat, like the Bloodfang Lord, does not have any reserves left at all. It's crazy...... Arrogant to madness!

But he did. And it was Marven himself who helped him achieve this goal.

At this moment, there is actually no huge difference in the strength of the two armies at war. The strength of the ambushed Bayrell is only about 30,000 people, which is similar to the number of Chaos Legions under Marven's command. If he was now an ordinary Chaos Army, Marven really didn't mind fighting with Bayor, and he couldn't tell who would win and who would lose.

But the current Chaos Legion is not normal, they are a newly defeated army. In fact, they are not so much an army as a collection of defeated soldiers. The reason why they are gathered here is simply because they identify with Marven as their new commander.

For any army, a large-scale defeat is a complete disaster, a great blow to the army's combat strength. The obvious logic is that when an army is defeated, the cowardly always flees the battlefield first, while the brave are able to hold out longer. So in a defeat, the brave and strong soldiers always suffer more severe losses, while the timid and cowardly soldiers have a much greater chance of escaping than the brave.

Of course, that's not all. When the army is defeated, it is not only the casualties of the brave and the survival of the cowardly, but also the loss of junior officers. Some units lost officers, others lost units. This makes them no longer a monolith. The commander's orders could not be conveyed below, and there was no way for the chaotic ordinary soldiers to gather...... If there is a fight, then it will immediately turn into a disaster.

Marven is facing this problem right now. His army was temporarily put together, and Marven's original goal was to withdraw his troops to the base camp under Gaohua City, where the soldiers would be reorganized and at least partially restored to combat effectiveness.

But right now, the Chaos Legion is a rabble with no discipline at all. Marven hadn't even had time to appoint a mid-level officer—and even if he did, the soldiers below wouldn't have had a chance to get to know him. In this case, this army is completely unable to convey the orders of the commander and fulfill the commander's combat intentions, in fact, such an army can only fight on its own.

Moreover, among the Chaos Legions, the most brave and combative warriors have been basically wiped out. Except for the Bloodfang Lord, who had a bloody path to kill, the other warriors were quite decent - they all shouted the name of the Blood God and died on the battlefield.

Marven clearly saw the battles breaking out everywhere. The number of troops is not equal to the combat power of the army, and the whole battle is completely one-sided. On one side, well-prepared, and advantageous terrain for a surprise attack, on the other side was a defeated army that had not yet been reorganized and was in disarray—the spontaneous resistance of the Chaos Legions was weak and worthless under the tight formation of the Tiberius.

Marven was so angry that he saw it! As a Chaos Lord, he didn't really care about the casualties of the Chaos Warriors, but this was the result of his painstaking planning! It was also an important force for him to implement his future plans! His stage, his chess game, and his chess pieces...... His plans, his flawless plans, are now all gone!

If he retreats intact on the battlefield under the left flank of the Chaos Legion, then at this time he can at least try to break through - of course, he will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, but he is not so helpless as he is now, and can only watch his army gradually divided and surrounded, and finally annihilated.

What the hell is going on, where did I miscalculate? By the way, it's Ashrufat! Ashrufat's side...... That guy planned it? He must have planned it......

He continued to fly high with the magic disk until he couldn't fly any higher. It's safe here. So Marven closed his eyes and embraced the wind of magic.

The difficulty of casting this spell is actually tied to distance. In order to go to Eagle Falcon City, Marven had to have a large group of subordinates to assist in casting spells (and one of his subordinates was exhausted). By the time Aerufat went to Neustria City, the distance between the two sides was much closer, and Marven could handle it alone. As for now, the two sides are only separated by half a day, and the difficulty of this magic is even lower.

Ashrufat was sitting in his tent, pen and paper, as if calculating something. At least when Marven's virtual image appeared, Ashrufat didn't show any surprise, as if he had known that Marven would appear.

"Ashrufat!" Although it was an illusion, the angry and corrupt look on Marven's face was very clear. "You...... What do you want to do?!Do you know what you're doing?"

"Yes. Ashrufat grinned.

"You actually broke our agreement......"

"Do you think it's a serious debt, and what if I break it?" said Ashrufat, who was in a good mood and not angry at all. Marven's appearance here has already explained all the problems. This time, the Chaos Legion will be wiped out. Then there will be a brief vacuum of defensive power at the White Castle - a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Don't forget your Crimson Spot, I'm the only one in this world who can save you...... I'm warning you...... Even if you get some kind of Nurgle's secret art, it won't work...... Remember the ...... in you that connects to the life force."

Marven's voice stopped abruptly as he saw Ashruphat stand up, take off his coat, and pull his clothes up. On him, it was the characteristic symptom of the Scarlet Spots, a magical disease that eroded Eshurufat's body, leaving large red spots on his skin. Several of the muscles underneath the erythema have eroded, giving the skin a translucent blood blister-like shape.

Ashruphat stretched out a finger and rubbed it vigorously on his abdomen, removing the large chunk of paint.

"What are you ......," Marven let out a hoarse exclamation. "Crimson ......"

Ashrufat's fingers continued to rub together, removing more of the paint. Now even a fool can see that the scarlet spots on his body were not diseases at all, but pictures—directly on his skin. It must be said that the painter is definitely a master's level, so much so that if it weren't for Eshurufat's initiative to expose it, Marven would have looked away for a while.

Eshurufat's skin is smooth and fair, and there are no signs of disease in sight.

"How could it be ......," Marven muttered softly. Didn't Luo Jin blow himself up? Didn't he use all his life force to cast the last curse? In this case, how could Ashrufat be safe? Could it be that things in this world are so coincidental, but Luo Jin, the last magic curse that poured all his life force, did not succeed?

Speaking of which...... At least in theory, this is indeed possible. No magician can boast of the success of his magic, even if it drains all his life force. Among other things, even if it is detached from the human factor (humans are always prone to making mistakes, and the same is true in any state), it is normal for the winds of magic to flow in flux, and it is normal for certain fluctuations - such as the kind of magic wind disorder that happened to be encountered on the battlefield yesterday - to occur suddenly.

So, Rogin made a mistake? So Ashrufat didn't fall under any magic curse in the first place? So, ...... From the very beginning, Ashrufat was not in any danger to his life. On the surface, it was Marven who coerced and coerced and accused Ashrufat, but in fact, it was Ashrufat who used disguise and lies to skillfully take advantage of this misunderstanding of thinking and play Marven on applause! He swallowed the incense bait sent by Marven, but avoided the hook. No, not only did he avoid the hook, but he fished Marven up!

"Huh...... Scold...... Hehehehehehe......" Marven suddenly let out a cold laugh. "Ashrufat, don't forget the badge on your chest. You know, if I tell someone else about this...... What will happen to you?!!Will you be ......" his voice stopped abruptly again.

Ashrufat pulled his clothes a little higher, exposing his chest. Of course, his chest was white and smooth, and there was nothing on it.
