Chapter 1031. The suspended war and the uneasy gods!
In a moment of despair for the Hastings nobility.
at the same time.
In the hall of the Holy Son Commander of the Kingdom of Light.
"Report."
"Destroy all 5,000 Hastings noble vanguards and kill the commander, Sir Cher."
"Report!"
"The cavalry on the left and right wings of the Hasting nobles were completely annihilated."
"20 cavalrymen have surrounded the occupied fortress."
"Report!"
"All occupied fortresses and watchtowers have been breached, cutting off the retreat routes of the Hastings nobles."
"Report!"
"The Hasting nobles who occupied the fortress tried to break out ten times, but were defeated every time!"
"Good, good!"
"Great."
The Holy Son Commander's face was filled with excitement.
He looked at the nobles standing in the hall.
"Hasting's 50,000-man army is already a trapped beast."
"Immediately mobilize the siege infantry from the surrounding areas and assemble to attack the city."
"Destroy the defenders in the fortress as quickly as possible at all costs."
When a noble heard the order, he stepped forward and clasped his fists.
"Your Mightiness."
"Why not use them to lure Hastings' reinforcements over."
"We still have 100,000 cavalry deployed in the rear direction."
"We can definitely take this opportunity to surround the enemy and attack their reinforcements."
The nobles of the Kingdom of Light had fought too little with Fang Yuan.
Anyone who knew the other party’s previous record would never say such a thing.
Surround the enemy's source and attack the reinforcements.
"hehe!"
“You’ll just get yourself into trouble.”
"Don't let the meat in your mouth not be eaten by then, and the entire line of defense will be lost."
The Holy Son Commander firmly rejected this proposal.
"No!"
“Defense is the foundation.”
"This trap is just a counterattack against the invasion of the Alpha Kingdom."
"After destroying the Hastings nobles who fell into the trap."
"Our main force will be dispatched back."
"Encircle and suppress the invading Alpha cavalry."
"Time cannot be delayed. If it is delayed, things will change."
This is exactly what most of the nobles of the Kingdom of Light want.
Their territory was lost.
It must be recaptured as soon as possible.
If we continue to fight a bloody battle with the Alpha Legion on the border.
By then, not only will you die, but you will also lose your territory.
"Your Excellency, we are willing to obey your orders."
"Yes, war is about taking what comes to your mouth first, and then worrying about other things."
"Being too ambitious and wanting anything will only hurt you."
And then, a messenger soldier ran in.
The news he brought confirmed the correctness of the decision made by the Holy Son Commander.
"Report."
"Alpha's Border Knights have appeared at the Hastings border."
"They also brought a large number of alchemists with them."
This is definitely not good news for the Wright Kingdom's defense line.
Especially the arrival of the alchemist made them feel a little scared.
"How many alchemists are here?"
An aristocrat immediately asked.
"Not sure, but it is said that there are hundreds of people."
"The number of alchemical puppets transported is as high as tens of thousands."
"so much!"
Fear was already showing in the eyes of each noble.
The horror of the alchemical puppets has long been deeply imprinted in their hearts.
The Holy Son Commander's expression also changed.
I couldn't help but worry about my plan.
What if the fortress cannot be captured for a long time and there is a large-scale invasion on the border at the same time?
I’m afraid there’s a risk that the defense line will be breached.
"support."
"We must seek support now."
The Holy Son Commander looked at the nobles present.
"We don't have much time left."
"I can only give you two hours to capture the fortress of the Hastings nobles."
"If we can't conquer them, we must be prepared to let them go."
"Our cavalry will be used to ensure the safety of the defense line."
When the nobles heard the time, their faces turned solemn.
Because this means that the subsequent offensive and defensive battles will become extremely brutal.
The Holy Son Commander did not issue any more orders.
Now it’s up to the nobles themselves.
He came to the prayer temple and reported the situation of the border defense line.
In the space of the gods.
The Harvest Goddess's brow furrowed.
"Just now there was news from the border defense line."
"A large number of alchemists appeared with alchemical puppets."
Upon hearing this information, the Dragon God's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Damn, how do you collect intelligence?"
"They unexpectedly appeared at the border of Hastings without making any noise."
"You loser."
at this critical moment.
The appearance of the alchemist at the border defense line caused great trouble to their plans.
If there were no dragon knights and dragons joining.
The border defenses have a hard time stopping the attacks of these alchemists.
And then, the God of Red Flame spoke.
"I just received the message too."
"This time, the army that arrived at the border is not limited to alchemists."
"There are also 100,000 Alpha Alliance troops that have been mobilized."
"These coalition forces were all drawn from the orc border of Alpha."
"We can basically determine that Fang Yuan has already taken control of the Orc Kingdom."
"Otherwise, it would be impossible to transfer the pioneer knights from there."
"Compared to Hastings's legion, these pioneering knights are very powerful."
"If they add the alchemist, and there are no reinforcements."
“The border defense line will indeed be unstable.”
"So now, we can only strengthen the defense of the border."
"I have decided to dispatch the Divine Grace Legion there."
"While strengthening our defenses, we will deliver a fatal blow to the Hastings nobles who have penetrated deep into our territory."
"At the same time, use the border defense line to defend and counterattack, and consume Alpha's army."
"Force Fang Yuan to dispatch troops from the capital to join the war."
This is the only way out of the current situation.
The gods had no reason to object.
into the night!
The gods' orders were conveyed to the Holy Son Commander.
Then, the Holy Son Commander personally led 300,000 infantrymen and began to besiege the fortress.
at the same time.
On the border.
Guderian commanded the knights to launch a fierce attack.
Intent to open the channel.
Rescue the Hastings nobles from their siege.
at the same time!
One hundred thousand cavalrymen from the Kingdom of Light came to fight.
The war between rescue and anti-rescue begins.
at the same time!
The Divine Grace Legion lurking on the coastline began to be deployed secretly.
To deceive others.
The Legion of God's Grace followed the Alpha Legion's strategy.
Take advantage of the breaks in patrol.
Replace the soldiers little by little.
One hundred thousand of the most elite Divine Grace cavalry were replaced by the peasant army of the Kingdom of Leiden within one day.
This time, they did it very tightly.
By the time Heidi's spies discovered it.
It was already three days later.
"attack!"
Under the fortress.
The infantry of the Kingdom of Light began to attack wearing iron armor, holding iron shields and carrying ladders.
Behind him was a long-range army carrying crossbows.
"shoot!"
After reaching the city wall.
The crossbow legion took aim.
Thick arrows with ropes attached were stuck on the city wall.
At the same time, ladders were set up under the city wall.
Seeing this, the defenders on the city wall bent their bows and fought back.
But they all carried horse bows.
Weaker than the bow.
The siege infantry, carrying shields, quickly climbed to the top of the wall.
At the same time at the other end of the rope.
On the high platform, infantrymen wearing only mail armor and carrying single swords began to slide.
"Destroy the ladder."
"Cut the rope!"
The Hastings nobles on the city wall roared orders.
But after a day of hard fighting.
There were only 20,000 defenders left in the city.
Most of them were injured.
There are less than three thousand people who can still hold weapons.
So few soldiers were facing an overwhelming siege force.
quickly!
The city walls were already occupied.
At this moment, on the high platform in the city.
"Your Majesty."
"We can't hold on any longer. We will protect you and help you get out."
Hastings nobles and 500 magic crystal warriors are guarding the king.
Seeing that the city wall had been breached, they had no soldiers to fight back.
Now the only way out is to escape.
"run?"
"Where can we run to?"
"It's our fault that we fell into a trap!"
As he spoke, he drew out his sword and pointed it forward.
"For the glory of Hastings."
"attack!"
The king, leading the last of the nobles of Hastings, rushed to the city walls.
Half an hour later.
The war subsided.
There were corpses everywhere on the city walls.
The king was pierced with a spear.
Nailed to the wall.
The nobles of the Kingdom of Light walked by.
Seeing King Hastings dead in battle, even though I knew he was Alpha's puppet.
At this moment, he also bowed and gave him the respect he deserved.
Then the news that the 50,000-strong army of Hastings nobles was annihilated reached the Holy Son Commander.
“How much did we lose?”
After hearing the news, the Holy Son Commander was not that excited.
he knows.
There was no pause in this siege.
It was almost entirely achieved by relying on the continuous deaths of soldiers in battle.
"Your Mightiness."
"The loss of soldiers was as high as 100,000."
"And they are all elite!"
The Holy Son Commander took a deep breath.
This result!
Even he found it hard to accept.
Too much.
The losses were too heavy.
He has read the previous battle reports.
While Hastings's noble corps remained intact.
In every round of siege, all the soldiers who climbed the city walls were wiped out.
Although I know the losses are heavy.
But I didn’t expect it to be so big.
But now he has no time to be sad.
The war here is over.
On the border, the war against the Alpha Kingdom Cavalry Corps is still going on.
"Send the order!"
"Except for the cavalry, the rest of the legions participating in the siege will clean up the battlefield and stay on the spot for defense."
"All cavalry assembled immediately."
"Follow the established plan, patrol in front of each fortress and wait for the order to attack."
"As ordered!"
After the messenger soldier left.
The messenger of the Divine Grace Knights came out.
"Your Mightiness."
"One hundred thousand Divine Grace Knights have arrived at the designated location and are ready to launch an attack at any time."
The Holy Son Commander nodded.
Looked at the location of the Divine Grace Legion.
"if!"
"If Alpha's Legion can go a little deeper, the Divine Grace Legion can join the battle."
"Do you want to lure them?"
The Holy Son Commander thought for a long time and finally held back.
He had faith in the Hastings.
But he was still very worried about Arda's legion.
"Pass the order, stay where you are and don't expose yourself."
"Wait for orders."
"I want to see how deep Alpha's army can penetrate."
"As ordered!"
Hastings Line.
"Report, sir."
"Just got the news from the Kingdom of Light."
"The Hastings nobles were completely wiped out."
After hearing this, Guderian said "hmm" lightly.
There was no response to this.
The truth is that they don't listen to their own advice.
He had to go deep into enemy territory and die.
It's not surprising that the entire army was wiped out.
And not long after, Heidi came over in person.
"There's news."
"The Divine Grace Legion has been mobilized and is now missing."
Guderian's expression changed slightly at this time.
According to your lordship's plan.
Now is the time to attack.
Attract more Divine Grace Legion to join the battlefield here.
Thus creating time for the orcs.
but!
Now there is no need to be so troublesome.
More than half a month.
Your Excellency the Lord has built a terrifying magic crystal army in Alpha.
The next war will be a one-sided sweep.
No strategy is needed at all.
"Ah."
"Then retreat."
Guderian waved his hand.
Order the army to retreat.
Just one night.
Wait until dawn.
The nobles of the Kingdom of Light discovered it.
All the enemies in front of him disappeared.
The news soon reached the Holy Son Commander.
"what?"
"left!"
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"They must have heard about the annihilation of the Hastings nobles."
"That's it~"
The Holy Son Commander took a deep breath.
"It's better to quit."
"Send the message to the defense line and re-reinforce it."
"Add a defensive wall against alchemical puppets."
"Yes!"
Although Guderian's retreat was a good thing for the Son of God Commander.
But he always had a sense of crisis in his heart.
"Report the news to the gods first."
"No major offensive on the border?"
"So many alchemists were dispatched just to rescue the Hastings Knights?"
When the Goddess of Harvest heard this information, she also looked puzzled.
Although it is hard to believe, the facts are before our eyes.
He couldn't help but believe it.
Now the situation on the border defense line is gradually stabilizing.
If there is no war between the two sides.
I'm afraid the Red Flame God's plan will fail.
"God Venerable."
"Should we order the Son Commander's defense line to launch a full-scale attack?"
"Force Fang Yuan to send troops to rescue the Hastings defense line."
"Our plan will start soon!"
At this time, the Red Flame God was looking at the map.
He was thinking about the battle on the defense line and the recent intelligence coming from the Alpha Kingdom.
He said after a moment's hesitation.
"Recent intelligence says that the atmosphere in Alpha Capital has become somewhat unusual."
"Many nobles were purged."
"The king seems to be preparing a big plan."
"King Alfa is Fang Yuan's puppet."
"That is, Fang Yuan might be preparing something?"
"It's just that the intelligence is not clear about what happened over there."
"I was still doubting the authenticity of this information."
"But now on the border, the Alpha Legion, which had the offensive advantage and captured the Hundred Sentinel Towers on the defense line, suddenly withdrew."
"I think the intelligence is probably true."
"Fang Yuan is in the capital, and he must be carrying out a very secret operation."
"If we attack rashly, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen."
After a brief pause.
The Red Flame God made up his mind.
"The plan is on hold."
“Border defenses are being reinforced.”
"Dragon Riders are stepping up their patrols at all borders."
"Send more spies to investigate the capital of Alpha."
"Find out Fang Yuan's secret plan before attacking."
"in addition!"
"It's time to deal with those cavalrymen who invaded the Kingdom of Light."
"Tell that to the Son of the Defense Line."
"Dispatch 100,000 troops southward."
"Capture the Mercenary City, join Lannis's coalition forces, and quell the invading cavalry on the Great Plains."
"Yes, God!!!" (End of this chapter)
