Chapter 13: The Aftermath of the War
Eighty miles away from Huyaqiu Fortress, Chishuixi Village.
It is a small village in the middle of nowhere, between two mountains, with only a dozen or so households.
That afternoon, this secluded village suddenly flooded with nearly a thousand heavily armed warriors. This is the place where Arthur and his family have chosen for a long time after the war, and the village between the two mountains has only two exits from the north and south, and the favorable terrain is conducive to vigilance and rapid relocation.
From the moment the mercenaries entered the village and set up camp, an atmosphere of joy began to permeate the camp. Last night's battle was a hearty victory, almost annihilating the Sea Clan's garrison, and the price paid by the Blue Enchantress's side was only a dozen mercenaries killed and fifty or sixty wounded. Such a brutal battle, such low casualties are almost incredible.
The harvest after the battle made the mercenaries ecstatic, and the military supplies and weapons and equipment of the entire fortress were all the trophies of the Blue Enchantress. The four pieces of space equipment with a lot of loot were almost filled and not completely loaded, and some things that were not too valuable had to be thrown away.
The extra piece of space equipment was the red coral ring on the slain Sea Clan General, which was now worn by Huey.
Although the value of these loot has not yet been finally counted, not counting the honorarium and space ring of the Sea Clan General's A-class mission, the rest of those things are roughly estimated, and there is still a surplus after each mercenary pays off the money for the enchanted equipment.
The joyful atmosphere reached a climax after the night fell, and the mercenaries, except for the mercenaries who were on guard duty outside the village, began to celebrate with a big feast.
The leaders of several small mercenary groups in the team came over to toast Arthur and Joan. There is another layer of significance in this battle, the Blue Enchantress Mercenary Group has completed the last A-class mission, and only after the mercenary union confirms, the Blue Enchantress will become the first A-class mercenary group in Huaorez.
Arthur and Joan, who have always been cautious and calm, were also infected by the atmosphere and drank glass after glass of wine.
Unbeknownst to the celebratory mercenaries, a great crisis is about to engulf......
......
Hanshan Town, the camp of the Sea Clan.
Unlike the Terran tents, the Sea Clan's tents are cylindrical and look like clusters of coral reefs from a distance.
Outside the tent of the Chinese army, the handsome shark tiger of the sea clan was pacing back and forth looking at the red and blue double moon above his head with his hands behind his back.
The shark loves the moonlight on land, and the red and blue moonlight moves away from time to time with the movement of the planets, sometimes overlapping each other, interweaving brilliant and charming colors.
During the long years of the Azure Crystal Palace, there was no moonlight at all, and the outside of the Crystal Palace was almost completely shrouded in darkness, except for the various glowing hedrons.
It was late at night, and the shark tiger still didn't feel the slightest sleep. As one of the first commanders of the Sea Clan army to land, Shark Tiger is the best general in the Sea Clan army, known as one of the "Four Heroes of the Sea Clan".
At the beginning of the Sea Clan's landing, the Shark Tiger led the Sea Clan army all the way to a breakthrough, occupying tens of millions of square kilometers of land of the Terran in just over two months. According to the original intention of the Shark Tiger, he wanted to sweep away the Terran countries in one go, but the above meaning was to let him stay on the spot and wait for the second batch of Sea Clan reinforcements to land.
Since the pace of the attack was stopped, it was equivalent to giving the Terrans a chance to breathe. Sure enough, it didn't take long for those Terran cavalry to fly over like flies, and they didn't dare to get close to the main force of the Sea Clan army, but they buzzed around non-stop, making the shark tiger unbearable.
Although the Shark Tiger's countermeasures have received good results these days, the Shark Tiger still hates this kind of see-saw and entanglement, and it is the fighting style that the Shark Tiger likes to go all the way to the heart of the enemy.
A Sea Clan warrior hurriedly ran over, "Great Marshal, urgent military situation!"
Shark Tiger's mood became inexplicably more irritable, "Read." ”
"The fortress of Huyaqiu fell last night, except for a few soldiers who escaped, the rest of the garrison was completely wiped out. ”
Shark Tiger was stunned for a moment, and then roared angrily: "How many people are on the other side? Where is that bastard Shark Scorpion? Why is he still captured by the Terrans in the Tiger Tooth Hill Fortress?"
The Sea Clan warrior who reported the news hesitated, "According to the report of the escaped warriors, the Terran army besieging the city has two cavalry regiments and an infantry regiment, and they saw the Shark Scorpion General being blasted to the ground from the sky and never reappeared again, so it is likely that something happened to them. ”
"Impossible, that kid from the shark scorpion is not so easy to die!" "The shark tiger gritted his teeth and roared, "Pass the commander's order, order all the sea clan troops near the tiger tooth mound to immediately conduct a dragnet search, and never let go of those few Terran troops!"
The Sea Clan warrior turned around to give the order, and the Shark Tiger nodded and summoned his own guard captain, "The Terran army can't always hide behind and pick up the spoils, you go to Sumuna City to find the Captain of the Kailan Legion of the Manno Kingdom, and ask the Norman to send troops to help clear out all the Terran troops in the Huyaqiu Fortress area!"
......
The Great Tent of the Town Navy Regiment.
Hardy's face was pale and he put the military information he had just received on the case of the Marquis of Gu Luolan.
The Marquis of Gu Luolan hurriedly swept it and pointed at Hadi and laughed, "The battlefield is unpredictable, you want to design a praying mantis to catch cicadas, but you can't imagine that the cicadas will eat the praying mantis, you yellow finch just wait for a while!"
Hardy stepped forward with a face full of shame and asked for guilt, "It's my mistake in strategy, please punish the legion commander." ”
The Marquis of Gu Luolan's face was blank, and he said with a straight face: "Although you and I are close, you have made mistakes and omissions in this battle! You said that what was used as bait this time was just a ragtag private army put together by the little nobles, how could Count Jiayong's cavalry regiment also be among them? Count Arthur took five hundred cavalry to break through the orc wasteland and assassinate the son of the lion king a few years ago, and it is normal for you to let him go as a bait and overturn. Do you have an explanation for this?"
Hardy hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly, "Lord Marquis, do you know what Arthur calls his private army?"
The Marquis of Gu Luolan was stunned.
Hardy asked himself, "Blue Enchantress Cavalry." ”
The Marquis of Ancient Lorland sounded familiar.
Hardy took the initiative to remind: "Before they officially entered the battlefield, they were called the Blue Enchantress Mercenary Group, which was the mercenary group founded by my second uncle Keynes back then. ”
Marquis Gu Luolan's face immediately sank, "Don't mention this person in front of me. ”
Hardy plucked up the courage to continue, "If you don't want to hear it, I won't talk about the relationship between Arthur and my second uncle. But don't you have the slightest doubt about this battle?"
"What's the doubt? The Huyaqiu Fortress has been destroyed, and the corpses of the Sea Clan generals and commanders who were killed will then be transported back to the legion for verification, can this still be fake?"
"Killing the Sea Clan General is naturally a great military achievement, but as far as I know, Arthur is now just the strength of a war school martial artist, even if he uses his troops to enter the gods, how can he cross a big step to kill the Sea Clan General?"
This really stunned the Marquis of Gu Luolan. The generals are also known as Tianguan, and after entering the generals, the combat power is qualitatively improved, and it is by no means three or five ordinary war schools that can work together to encircle and kill with the advantage of numbers, not to mention the stronger sea clan generals.
Hardy continued, "I've heard that someone has been secretly helping him, and this person is called Aretha. ”
"Smack!", as soon as the name came out, Marquis Gu Luolan's hand slapped heavily on the handsome case in front of him, and the heavy handsome case was broken into two at once.
