Chapter Seventy-Eight: Recent Developments in the War

This is a massacre that can be recorded in the history of Faustin, the civilians of Charlot who were slaughtered by Faustin soldiers, there are more than 80,000 according to official statistics alone, and the total number of the Xiongfeng Legion is only 30,000.

This shows that at least every surviving Xiongfeng Legion soldier has more than two innocent civilians on their hands.

Of course, it is analyzed from the perspective of human nature, and the soldiers of the Heroic Wind Legion do not admit it, in their opinion, it is this group of 'innocent' civilians who have caused them to lose many of their brothers who should not have died in battle, and it is this group of 'innocent' civilians that has made this Ellis City hold on for so long under the disparity in strength between the two sides.

In other words, the death of Marquis Wood was actually a fuse, igniting the shadow of war that had been pressed on the heads of the soldiers of the Heroic Wind Legion for several years, they said that it was a massacre, it was better to say that it was venting, only the blood of the same human beings could make their heartstrings that had been tense a little relaxed.

After four days of bloody slaughter, Ellis City, a large city large enough to hold more than 200,000 people, was transformed into a ghost.

There were mountains of corpses and a sea of blood everywhere, and a general sent by Prince Kensel to mediate was also worried.

The heroic soldiers who had already killed the red-eyed soldiers were not at all interested in this guy who suddenly appeared as the 'temporary' commander of the legion.

There is only one captain of the Heroic Wind Legion, and that is Marquis Wood. Every brick and tile of the Heroic Legion was saved by the Marquis of Wood from the money he had eaten.

On the afternoon when he learned of the death of the Marquis of Wood, Prince Kensel had already sent this general to pacify the rioting Heroic Legion, the general's family was also a historic earl family in Faustin, and this general served as the chief of staff of the legion in the Lion Legion.

But it was the general of the Earl's family, when he arrived in Ellis City on the second day, when he ordered a halt to the slaughter, he almost caused a mutiny, and if it were not for the few surviving captains of the Heroic Legion who still retained their sanity, the general sent by the prince would have been slaughtered by the enraged Heroic Legion soldiers.

The massacre in Ellis City did not stop until there was not a single living creature in this huge city except for the soldiers of Faustin, and the soldiers of the Heroic Wind Legion calmed down.

Accusations from all walks of life, the wrath of the Faustin royal family, and the criticism of Prince Kensel followed.

King Faustin and the nobles of the royal capital were eager to remove the captains of the Heroic Legion, because it was they who did not stand up at the critical moment to stop it, which triggered the massacre.

But the king still did not give this order, because the soldiers of the Heroic Legion mutinied and threatened to blackmail the 'acting captain' appointed by Prince Kensale, and they also knew that no one dared to touch the sensitive and sad hearts of the Heroic Legionnaires at this time.

The funeral ceremony of the Marquis of Wood was held very grandly, and nearly 20,000 soldiers of the Xiongfeng Legion who survived the war spontaneously saw off their beloved commander.

Carrying the coffin were the four surviving regular corps commanders and two deputy corps commanders, these six people can be said to be the most prestigious people of the Xiongfeng Legion at this time, and carrying the body of their general back to Faustin on foot is the commitment of these six corps commanders to the soldiers of the Xiongfeng Legion.

The use of a city to honor a dead general, Marquis Wood, is undoubtedly one of the most controversial figures in this war between the two countries. He did not give the order to slaughter the city, but because of him.

In short, this very characteristic general left a deep impression on Faustin, the struggling Charlotte, or the surrounding countries.

The Legionnaires who slaughtered countless civilians in Charlott, this group of demons with blood on their hands, left behind a hot tear of blood the moment Marquis Wood's coffin-carrying procession disappeared into the horizon.

According to the statistics after the war, the losses of the Xiongfeng Army in this battle were not small, and they lost one-third of their manpower, and you must know that the military ratio between Faustin and Charlot reached 4:1, so the loss was so large.

It is worthy of Charlotte to be called the 'god of war', Campbell Jones, who made every living soldier of the Heroic Legionnaires remember his name.

The massacre and mutiny of the Xiongfeng Legion caused a lot of shock in the royal capital, and the current Marquis of West Asia, the last marquis who had been guarding the royal capital, did not participate in the war between the two countries, and under the order of King Faustin, went to the front line to sort out the Xiongfeng Legion.

The only one who can spare his hands now and subdue the soldiers of the Heroic Wind Legion is one of the four marquises, except for His Majesty the King of Faustin.

Different from the tragic battle of the Eagle Legion, the Eagle Legion, which was strictly ordered by Prince Kensel to attack the city at the same time, was advancing all the way, and the county city of Bimore, which was in front of the Eagle Legion, was declared broken on the afternoon of the second day of the attack of Faustin's army.

A week later, before arriving at the city of Entel, the Eagle Legion, which had completely surrounded the city of Entel, was preparing to attack the city like the Heroic Legion, when the rumors of the slaughter of the Heroic Legion arrived, and with it, the news of the death of Marquis Wood in battle.

Whether it was the side of Faustin who was besieging the city or the side of Charlotte who was defending the city, they all took a big breath of cold air.

The city of Entre is the capital of the southern province of Charlot, and now stationed in the city of Entre is Marquis Philip, one of the three pillars of Charlotte and known as the "God of Wealth".

Marquis Clark, the 'god of war' in Gordon Heights, and Marquis Campbell, the 'god of war' in Ellis City, have left an indelible impression on the Faustin people, and no one dares to guarantee whether the last Marquis of Charlotte will be the same.

The prince's urging was not canceled, and the siege continued. The death of the Marquis of Wood does not seem to have hit our Royal Highness, but has strengthened Prince Kensel's confidence in resolving the war quickly, whether it is his own sister Angelina or his uncle Marquis Wood, Prince Kensel will use the fall of Charlotte to commemorate them.

In the first three days of the Eagle Legion's attack, the resistance of Entel City was still very strong, worthy of Charlotte's 'God of Wealth', that is, rich, magic props that had never been used on a large scale on the battlefield, appeared on the city gate in pieces, and a steel cylinder carved with exquisite patterns appeared at the city gate.

The price of steel is equal to the quality of silver, and the intricate patterns carved into it make this magical weapon more like a craft than a weapon of war.

The 'Crystal Cannon' is the name given by the Charlottes themselves, and a red or white pillar of light shoots out, which can pierce through a squad of at least ten people.

"Have they even copied the 'Magic Cannon'?" Marquis Sandru seemed to recognize something, this strongest man on Faustin's face has not shown his true strength so far, but no one dares to underestimate this marquis.

Marquis Marmon is obviously an insider who knows the true situation of Marquis Sandru, for this marquis whose strength is far beyond him, although Marquis Marmen is not afraid of him, but there is still some politeness, plus they are also old friends who have been partners for more than ten years, and they are quite easy-going when they get along.

"This thing costs a lot of money, doesn't it?" Although Marquis Mammon doesn't know the 'magic cannon', he still has eyesight, don't look at the big guy's current power, but the frequency is getting lower and lower every time, obviously Charlotte can't afford the big guy's expenses.

"At least one Warcraft crystal nucleus at a time!" Marquis Sandru said one thing, a Warcraft crystal nucleus, even if it is the crystal nucleus of the lowest-level low-level Warcraft, the starting price of at least 15 gold coins in Faustin, if it is the crystal nucleus of a mid-level Warcraft, it will be turned to the price of 100 gold coins, and the high-level one will not, this level of crystal nucleus can only be reserved in the hands of big families or various strong people, and it will not be sold on the market.

Marquis Mammon's surprise had not subsided, and Marquis Sandru said something that surprised Marquis Marmmen even more, "This kind of magic cannon can only be moved by the magic power of a mid-level crystal nucleus. ”

。。。。。。

On the city wall of Entel, there is a magic guide cannon on one side of the city wall, and the magic guide cannon has fired a few cannons these days, and the Marquis of Mamen has no specific statistics, but there should be 40 cannons, 40 medium-level and above the demon beast crystal nucleus, even as the patriarch of the Marquis family, he can't take out so much.

Marquis Mammon stared at the city wall with burning eyes, and the magic cannon that was powerful from time to time, the Marquis of Mammon, who had a violent personality, obviously fell in love with this big killing weapon that was extremely in line with his appetite.

In addition to the magic cannon, there are some other magic items, but they are all limited.

Ellis City, so to speak, was completely money-free, temporarily blocking the attack of the Eagle Legion.

Stoneing you with money, this is the impression that Marquis Philip left on the Faustinians.

On the fourth day of the siege, when the Eagle Legion thought that the resistance of the city of Entel was as fierce as the previous two days, the main force of Charlot in the city had disappeared at some point.

On the evening of the fourth day, when the Eagle Legion captured the gates of Entre City, they themselves could not believe that they had captured Entre City so easily.

"It's supposed to be a large magic prop, and the resistance of the first two days was made for us to see. Marquis Sandru sighed and said, "It should take a lot of time to activate this magic item, and Philip has been stalling for time!"

People go to the city empty, and the city of Entre has nothing superfluous except for a few sporadic resistance and a large number of Charlotte citizens. Marquis Philip, unnoticed, left with him, taking with him all the riches of the city, including the magic cannons.

"The direction of escape is the royal capital of Charlotte, the city of Otis. "The cavalry regiment of the Eagle Legion has found traces of the Marquis Philip's escape.

By the time the city of Entre was broken, the large resistance forces in Charlotte had been pulled out by Forstein's army, and the sporadic resistance and local rebel armies were no longer to be worried, leaving only the capital of the king of Charlotte, which was still surviving.

Locke listened to the maid's narration and discussed the leaked news with the surrounding nobles, and was speechless.

No wonder when he and Angelina came out of the Bering Mountains, the troops they saw were not the Lion Legion, but the Eagle Legion, and it turned out that the Eagle Legion had all fought here.

They were now close to the heart of Charlotte, less than three days' march from Otis City, and it was no wonder that Prince Kensel, far away from the headquarters of the Lion Legion, could arrive in one night.
