Chapter 1806 Turning Point Ⅺ
Iron King Lahar saw that he was no longer attacking, so he took the initiative. There was no trick, just like the swing just now, but this one struck harder than before. Strong, more than three times stronger.
"Well..." Sarver muttered softly. He was used to the previous strength and was caught off guard by the sudden change in strength. The tiger's mouth was shattered on the spot, and he took a few steps back and shook. A flash. Before the person could stand still, the unicorn underneath him suddenly raised its front hooves and breathed out a powerful breath of flames.
The flames spread like a prairie fire to the fighting soldiers nearby, spreading to a range of tens of meters. And the unicorn just blew out two rolls of white smoke gently from its nostrils.
The Iron King never said a word, but he began to kill, the unicorn charged, and his mace followed. Mad Shark Sarver reluctantly took a few blows, and was about to summon his own magical beast guardian from afar to fight with the enemy to break the seal, when the troops that went to attack the city came back with reinforcements. The Chinese military camp, which had almost collapsed, finally held on at this time.
A large number of siege troops came down from the mountain road. They rushed out from the west and south sides of the dilapidated Baishuangxia City and headed straight for the suffering Chinese army camp.
When the Iron King saw the opponent's army coming back for reinforcements, he had no intention of stopping the battle, but the army behind him sounded the horn of retreat. Hearing the sound of retreat, he did not show any displeasure or hesitation. With a wave of his iron hand, the flag of the knights behind him turned. The Margery knights who were advancing in the camp quickly changed their direction and retreated. As quickly as they come, they go as quickly as they come.
Fried, who had just come back, saw this scene and couldn't help but admired: "They are really well-trained. In such a place, you can see such high-quality soldiers."
< br>Deputy Marshal Berwick said: "Marshal, I have sent sentries to find out the enemy's specific personnel. "How is the situation on the mountain?"
"Let's talk about the situation in the camp." Fried said: "The military situation in the camp is in chaos. Inform all armies to adjust their troops and rebuild their camps, focusing on the south. Set up defenses one by one. This battle...sigh~!" He let out a depressed breath.
In the afternoon after lunch, all the main generals who had dealt with the injury, except Sarver, gathered in Fried's tent. After listening to the marshal's description of Bai Shuang's situation in the city, everyone frowned tightly.
Fried glanced at everyone and knocked on the table with his fingertips: "Don't be silent. Although this battle did not completely achieve its goal, it was not without success."
"Yes, at least the White Frost City was destroyed."
"But the queen ran away, which is always a hidden danger." Beric said: "As long as her appeal is still there, she can be in Meade at any time. A new army has been raised in Ghat."
Calasias has a more optimistic view: "It's useless to have soldiers without generals. Jean Reaches is now in our hands, among the prisoners captured. Several of them are Midgard generals and high-ranking officials. The most troublesome thing now is not the Queen of Midgard, but the people who rescued the Queen. "
"I don't know them, I just know their existence. Potokasij..."
Calasias said: "Before, on the west coast, this man's men caused trouble for us. From your description, he is a very A powerful guy?"
Fried's eyes fell on the messy information on the table, and he just said: "I don't know, but I feel from the fight with him that his strength is probably more than just a seal knight. "
Everyone was shocked: "More than seven levels! What do you mean...he is a god?" "Interesting" Beric clenched his fists: "Eighth levels. It’s really rare to meet a master. It’s been a long time since I’ve fought against an eighth-level person.” He said this easily, but it was shocking to others. His tone sounded as if fighting against an eighth-level person was nothing. Remarkable thing.
People like Calasias who joined halfway did not know how many forces were behind the Wang Quan Xianjun. Although they had already prepared in their hearts, there must be many masters, but they were mentioned in such an understatement. The words still shocked them deeply.
The weather returned and it started to rain again. The staff officer in charge of intelligence in the camp said: "The situation is now in the south. The intelligence shows that there are not many well-known generals in the Storm Kingdom, and Lahar is the most famous one at present. Because of the complicated relationship between the Storm Kingdom and the Hill Country, he He has been stationed in the southwest of the Storm Country."
Fried didn't know much about this, so he interrupted and asked, "What is the complicated relationship you are talking about?"
The intelligence staff said. : "Capitoles ( The Hill Country) is a country with a political power dominated by dwarves. In the Storm Country, the dwarves account for about 23% of the Storm Country's population and have a very large influence. In fact, it would be okay if the Hill Country was weak. , the leaders of the Storm Kingdom can naturally ignore the existence of these dwarves, but since the founding of the Hill Country, the Storm Kingdom's national power has experienced a long period of decline. decline , and lost a lot of territory. Based on the current situation, the national power of the Hill Country is slightly stronger than that of the Storm Country. As a result, the dwarf forces in the Storm Country cannot be ignored. In terms of policy, the Storm Country has always suppressed the domestic dwarves. In terms of tribal power, it is now difficult for dwarves to sit in high positions with real power in the Storm Kingdom government. They are all empty positions, but such a thing cannot be done too obviously. Although not on a large scale direct battles, but small conflicts have always existed, and the Storm Kingdom has become increasingly wary of the Hill Country. They are worried that the domestic dwarf forces will eventually fall to the Hill Country. Therefore, in recent years, the Margery Knights have mainly been on guard against the west. The situation suddenly appeared here this time, which surprised me."
Calasias said with his arms crossed: "So they will never sit back and ignore what happened in Midgard."
Berwick mused: "The peace envoys sent by the Marshal to the Storm Country and the Rhine Country have not responded yet. It seems that something unexpected has happened. Since these two countries are determined to go against the royal power, then the iron hoofs of the royal power are also Never allow them to see We are just trying to survive!"
"It's easy to say that, but their 25,000 troops are not far away. How to get rid of them is the most practical problem," said another staff officer: "Marshal Zhao. What happened to the gang of criminals? The fourth black dragon should have brought the Queen of Midgard to join the Storm Kingdom's army. If they gather the remaining troops and the Rhine Kingdom's troops come to help, the situation will be very unfavorable for us. The Storm Kingdom can fight hard. Although there are not many famous generals, if they get mixed up with eighth-level masters like Prisoner's Gate, things will become more and more troublesome."
"It's certain that they get mixed up, but can we take advantage of them. The country of hills attacks the country of storms?” Kara Sias suggested: "Isn't there good news from the Hill Country? Since the two countries are separated from each other, can we persuade the Hill Country to send troops to contain the Storm Country's forces?"
“Absolutely not. Fried waved his hand and immediately rejected such a proposal. He said: "The Hill Country has not long reached a peace treaty with us, and we don't know them well enough. Although they are separated from the Storm Country and are wary of each other, But the relationship between the two countries began to In the end, no war broke out. If we rashly asked them to send troops to contain the Storm Kingdom's forces at this time, firstly, I am sure they would not send troops; secondly, if the Hill Country underestimated our strength, then Let him get up We have no way of guarding against any other thoughts that may arise in the future.”
Hearing what the marshal said was reasonable, Karasias nodded repeatedly: “That’s right, I ignored the hidden dangers here.”
Fried said: "We can only fight this battle, and we have to break down even the toughest bones. Only by winning this battle will it be possible to ask the hill country to ally with us to send troops in the future. The world structure has always been the same. Strength speaks for itself.”
The tent was quiet for a while, and everyone thought deeply. Beric listened to the sound of rain outside and said: "It's raining heavily today, and the Storm Nation army has come from a long way. I don't think they will attack again today. Both the upper and lower cities of Baishuang have lost their defensive functions, and we cannot defend here for a long time." It is recommended that the army retreat to Huangtu City to garrison and recuperate. ."
Fried nodded in agreement: "I accept your suggestion, prepare meals in advance in the afternoon, and start withdrawing troops from Loess City two hours before dark."
