The war in the Spider Mines ended quickly.
The remaining 50,000 cavalry were attacked by the Alien Legion.
Soon the whole army was wiped out.
That’s it!
Hastings's Border Cavalry Regiment was wiped out.
At this time, Guderian returned to the Alpha Kingdom Castle.
After getting the news.
Guderian took the opportunity to march with the main army on the Alpha border, intending to capture the El Fortress.
But at this moment.
Under the El Fortress.
The infantry coalition composed of many evil gods showed no sign of retreat.
Melissa leaves and the Shadow Warlock has escaped.
Duke Dalton in El Fortress cannot command these legions of divine grace.
The most elite coalition forces under the evil god.
At this moment it has become a rabble.
This is how the coalition forces are, they are not subordinate to each other.
No synergy can be formed.
Even a few heroes are aware of this problem.
But the gods are wary of each other.
To put it bluntly.
There is no trust between evil gods.
If Fang Yuan did not appear.
Now on the battlefield, they can fight on their own.
Lost Melissa who was empowered by the gods.
At this time, these legions were even noisy over the defense zones they occupied.
They didn't even realize that once Melissa's side was defeated.
These sloppy infantry formations could not stop Alpha's cavalry in the wild.
They didn't even send scouts forward.
Not to mention taking over El Fortress and controlling this only large defensive point.
to be honest.
If it were not within this secret realm.
With these stupid army of evil gods, Fang Yuan doesn't need to put so much effort into it.
Just randomly deploying a few alliance legions under his command is enough to eliminate them.
The evil god has been suppressed for a long time and has just awakened.
To be honest, the quality of the legions under their command is limited.
In addition, most of the heroes recruited are from the Yashen era.
This was separated from the later Era of Glory by the period of racial war that broke out in the civilization of the Old Continent.
There are no heroes who have been baptized by race wars.
Whether it is legion command or war literacy, there is a big gap between them and later generations.
The decline of the gods brought the civilization of the Old World into an era of cultural explosion.
Various advanced ideas spread among various ethnic groups along with the war.
Any legion commanded by a hero from the race war era can easily defeat an legion commanded by a hero from the sub-god era.
The only advantage of the heroes of the sub-god era.
That is, you can use God-given skills and God-given legion skills.
besides.
The rest is old-fashioned, pedantic and lacks flexibility.
Chaos outside El.
Even Duke Dalton at El Fortress shook his head after seeing this.
Without the protection of gods.
As for these Divine Grace Legions, Dalton was able to defeat them with his army.
Compared with the chaotic army of gods outside.
The interior of El Fortress seemed unusually quiet.
As a Duke, Dalton was wavering at this time.
On the one hand, he provided information to Alpha's spies.
But at the same time, there was no complete surrender.
He's riding the fence.
Want to take advantage of both sides.
At the same time, I was waiting.
Wait for which side to win before surrendering.
The era in which we are currently living in a secret realm.
Nobles are allowed to do this.
The disappearance of the gods allowed the nobles to gain supreme status.
Even if they were captured during the war, they would not be blamed for surrendering.
As long as the ransom is paid, he is still a noble.
Even if they are guilty of treason, nobles are still nobles.
For big nobles, riding on the fence is always the best choice.
Looking at the chaotic Divine Grace Army outside the city.
Dalton's eyes flashed with disdain.
Also curious, after Melissa chased him out.
What's going on now.
As far as he knew, Alpha didn't have many main cavalry.
Mainly border knights.
There are still 50,000 cavalry left, all newly formed from various places.
The original cavalry has now been transferred to the royal capital and has become the new king's imperial guard.
After all, this cavalry was trained by the new king himself.
"If we only look at it from the comparison of military strength."
"The knights of the Alpha Kingdom should be defeated."
"Although the Legion of Divine Grace doesn't look like much."
"But if there is unified command, the combat effectiveness is still good."
"Relying on numerical superiority, it is enough to easily crush the cavalry of the Alpha Kingdom."
"Especially, Alpha's main cavalry has been disabled."
"The combat effectiveness between the two sides is no longer of the same magnitude."
"And if the Alpha Kingdom is defeated."
"The next step is to prepare to march to the Alpha border."
"After regaining the lost territory, I will return to the royal capital to facilitate peace talks."
"Continuing to fight will not be beneficial to either side."
"It will only make the power of the gods continue to expand."
And in Dalton's heart, he was sure that Melissa had won.
Even when starting to plan the next step.
A guard in black came hurriedly.
"Your Excellency."
"The latest news is coming."
"The patrolling cavalry saw the dragoon leaving."
This news made Dalton frown.
"Leaved?"
"Didn't go back to the fortress?"
The guard shook his head.
"No, and the number of dragon knights leaving this time is less than half."
“I left in a hurry.”
This is not good news.
But it's not all bad news.
At least for Dalton.
Even if Melissa is defeated.
As a nobleman.
And he is also a nobleman who rides on the fence.
Dalton will never lose badly.
"Will it be defeated?"
The guard asked carefully.
This is Dalton's nephew.
Great nobles like to use their relatives as personal guards.
Not only can you trust it completely.
At the same time, letting them experience war can also cultivate qualified nobles.
At some critical moments, it can also provide emotional value.
Dalton pondered for a moment.
"It's not impossible."
If Alpha wins.
Then El Fortress is in danger.
The danger Dalton is talking about is not the Legion of Alpha Kingdom.
It's these legions of divine grace outside the city.
After losing their unified command, these Divine Grace Legions were no match for the Alpha Army.
At that time, they will definitely rush into the El Fortress in a swarm.
If the fort is taken over.
Even if I want to sit on the wall, I can't.
They can only serve as cannon fodder to defend the city.
And with the current strength of El Fortress, it is simply impossible to hold it.
In just half a day, he and his soldiers would all be dead.
Dalton has no doubt of this.
The commanders of the Divine Grace Legion did not regard them as human beings.
Think of the consequences.
Dalton's eyes showed a look of determination.
"Hudson!"
Dalton called his nephew and leader of the guards.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
When marching and fighting, nobles can only use their honorific titles.
"Bring your people."
"Secretly taking over the city gate."
"All the crossbows on the city wall are drawn."
"Remember, all must use our guards."
"Those who cannot be trusted will all be dispatched outside the city."
"In the name of condolences, let them bring more food."
"Yes!"
Dalton made this decision, which meant giving up sitting on the fence.
Surrendered to Alpha and became a traitor to Hastings.
But now Hasting has already been divided internally.
There is no talk about being a traitor or not.
I just want to be loyal to His Excellency the Third Prince.
early morning.
The sun rises slowly in the sky.
The last trace of darkness was swept away.
This time.
After a night of setting up.
Duke Dalton's personal guards have completely taken over El Fortress.
And also at this time.
outside the city.
illuminated horizon.
The sound of "dong dong dong" came.
It didn't take long.
on the horizon.
Groups of Alpha infantry appeared in sight.
After Guderian left the Spider Mine.
It was already late at night.
He and the border knights under his command were already exhausted to the point of weakness.
But even so.
Guderian didn't stop at all.
Directly ordered the army on the border to assemble immediately and set off under night cover.
The fighter plane is fleeting.
If you wait until dawn to march.
When we walked to El Fortress, I was afraid that the day lilies were cold.
Taking advantage of the darkness, more than 200,000 troops marched in a hurry.
to pre-dawn hours.
Except for the 20,000 auxiliary soldiers who were separated.
The main force all arrived at the border of El Fortress.
Guderian personally led the troops to investigate.
I saw the legions under the evil god, setting up their own camps.
Not even basic scouts were dispatched.
Guderian knew he had come to the right place.
He ordered the army to rest for an hour.
Rest, eat, and adjust the subordinates of the army.
Wait until dawn comes.
When the first ray of sunshine shines in the morning.
Guderian personally led the border knights and marched towards the El Fortress facing the rising sun.
"Forward!"
Guderian's Gondor spear pointed forward.
Under the golden sunlight.
A golden spear flashed in the air.
behind.
The main army of two hundred thousand.
Rolling forward with an array of fish scales.
The loud noise of "dong dong dong~" broke the tranquility at dawn.
"Kill!"
"Roar!"
Outside El Fortress.
There are quite a few evil god infantry legions left behind.
There are as many as 250,000.
This time for victory.
All the evil gods have spent almost all their money.
This was originally a must-win war.
But who can know.
The inevitable war was lost.
And he lost miserably.
Those who lose will be wiped out.
Deafening shouts of killing came.
The Divine Grace Army, which was still sleeping, was awakened.
They all got out of the tent and wanted to know where the sound came from.
When I saw the Alpha Legion coming up like a tide.
Even if the Divine Grace Legion has the protection of the gods.
It collapsed at this moment.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
The heroes of the Divine Grace Legion roared.
"Formation."
"Form up immediately!"
Unfortunately, by this time, everything was too late.
It's too late.
"Cavalry!"
"Attack!"
Guderian waved the Gondor spear in his hand.
After a full night's rest.
The energetic border knight drew out the knight's sword that was still stained with black blood.
He rushed in the direction pointed by Guderian's spear.
behind.
and fifty thousand of Hasting's cavalry.
Even the new knights just added.
They were also regular cavalry after training.
A brutal bloody battle might not do.
But this kind of smooth battle.
No order from Guderian was needed.
Fifty thousand cavalry were divided into three companies.
Sweeping the battlefield.
He plunged into the legions of the Divine Grace Legion that had not yet formed their formation.
Fifty thousand cavalry came in.
The Divine Grace Army was attacked by Chu Ran again.
There are almost no obstacles at all.
The entire legion was destroyed.
A matter of life and death.
The heroes who commanded the Legion of Divine Grace abandoned their prejudices at this time.
The opinions were quickly unified.
"Failed, defeated!"
"Retreat, retreat, retreat into El Fortress!!!"
The commander who took the lead in escaping directly caused an even greater rout.
But at this time, they no longer care about so much.
To remain in becoming is to annihilate the whole army.
Now take some of the people with you and escape into the El Fortress, and you can still save some of them.
but!
When they rushed to the gates of El Fortress.
But it felt like the sky was falling.
The gate of the fortress.
Close slowly at this moment.
"Open the door."
"We are the gods' warriors."
"Quick, get down here and stop the pursuers for us, you stupid pan-believers."
"If you don't open the city gate, the god will slaughter your whole family."
The sound of cursing spread to the city walls.
Dalton walked out.
He looked at the shouting divine grace warriors under the city wall with a smile.
"Oh?"
"The order I received is that in addition to the appearance of Your Excellency Melissa."
"No one is allowed to return to El Fortress."
"Everyone."
"I must see Ms. Melissa, or His Majesty the Shadow Warlock's order."
"Your orders!"
"Not worthy yet."
The divine grace warriors below the city jumped up in anger at these words.
"Asshole!"
"Guderian's cavalry are here."
"Melissa is long dead."
"Open the door."
Dalton raised his head and looked into the distance.
There.
Alpha's cavalry dispersed the resistance of the Divine Grace Warriors.
The infantry have moved forward to harvest.
Another cavalry group was already chasing after them.
He doesn't talk nonsense either.
Know that now is the time to submit your name.
If you don’t pay!
There is no way to gain the other party's trust.
"Come here!"
"Do it!"
On top of the city wall.
The crossbows that had been prepared were aimed at the divine grace warriors under the city wall.
"Launch!"
"咻咻咻~"
Arrows shot down like locusts.
These divine warriors are off guard.
It was shot directly into a sieve.
They looked at the arrows on their bodies with disbelief on their faces.
"You betrayed~"
After Duke Dalton took a look, he personally picked up a crossbow and aimed it.
The following of "咻".
It accurately hit the opponent's head.
At this time, the border knights led by Guderian came after them.
"Dalton!"
"Kaicheng!"
He glanced at the killed divine grace warriors in the city and gave the order without hesitation.
"I want to see the third prince."
"Your Excellency, I am still the Duke of Hastings."
"The soldiers behind me will not betray the country."
"We just want to follow the third prince."
"Drive out the evil gods that have invaded our country."
Guderian sneered.
He waved his hand behind him.
A trooper stepped out.
Take off your helmet.
The golden hair unique to the Hastings royal family was revealed.
"Dalton."
"Do you know me?"
Dalton on the city wall immediately knelt down after seeing it.
"I have met the third prince."
"The evil god has invaded. We, the nobles, are willing to follow Your Excellency, the prince, to expel the evil god and restore the royal family."
On the city wall, there was immediately a crashing sound of people falling to their knees.
"Open the city gate."
"Welcome His Excellency the Third Prince."
Soon, the gate of El Fortress slowly opened.
The stationed Hastings knights filed out.
Kneel down on both sides of the city wall.
Welcome the third prince to enter.
Seeing this, Guderian immediately mounted his horse.
Passed the third prince and entered the fortress.
At the same time, the border knights behind him immediately took over the fortress.
El Fortress fell at this moment.
And the fall of this fortress.
This means that the road to the capital of Hastings has been opened.
The royal capital of Hastings!
Already under the front of the Alpha Kingdom cavalry.
After Guderian took the El Fortress.
Word spread quickly.
Whether it is the Alpha Kingdom, Hastings, or the other four countries.
Or an evil god.
Everyone got the news immediately.
Everyone who heard the news knew it. This is a battle that changes the situation on the mainland! ! ! (End of chapter)
