The battle on the border of Hastings ended with the complete annihilation of the Evil God Army, and the tragic defeat of Hastings' loss of El Fortress.
El Fortress lost.
There is no danger to defend leading to the capital of Hastings.
Alpha's cavalry can march straight into the city of Hastings.
When the news comes back.
The nobles of Hasting Capital and the heroes stationed by the evil god immediately fell into chaos.
The nobles who had originally surrendered to the evil god began to have second thoughts.
It's the King of Hastings.
Because it has already been controlled by the evil god.
At this time, he was urgently discussing the next step with the messenger from the evil god.
"Hasting's elite main force was all lost in the battle at the border."
"The previous actions against the rebels caused heavy losses to the Hastings local nobles."
"Even if the nobles are recruited to join the war now."
"It is also difficult to train enough elite soldiers."
"I think Hasting has lost its value."
"While I am still King of Hastings, the nobles are still afraid of me."
"Decisively give the order to force the nobles and commoners of Hasting to go to the Kingdom of Wright."
The consequences of this kind of migration due to war are extremely terrible.
Migrating in a hurry, not to mention encountering attacks from Alpha Cavalry along the way.
Even if there is no attack.
The losses incurred during the migration alone were enough to cause heavy casualties to the migrating civilians.
No one would leave their homeland and move to another country except in desperate times.
And obviously.
Even after migration, they survived.
After arriving in the Wright Kingdom, these ordinary people who have left their homes will not have a good ending.
There is a high probability that he will get a spear and become cannon fodder.
Even the nobles lost their fiefs.
It won't end well either.
King Hasting's suggestion is to push the common people and nobles who follow him into the pit of fire.
King Hasting would not have done such a stupid thing before.
But after believing in the evil god, everything changed.
The emissary of the evil god was interested in King Hasting's proposal.
He knows it too.
The defeat of El Fortress caused heavy losses to the God Lord.
These legions lost in the battle can be said to be the few mobile forces in the hands of the gods.
After there is no more mobile army.
The war between the gods and Fang Yuan can only be transferred to the defensive stage.
On the border of the Kingdom of Leyte.
Countless castles and fortresses are under construction in full swing.
The gods are preparing to use the strong castle defense to block Fang Yuan's attack.
Under the castle, consume Fang Yuan's mobile troops.
Wait for the strength of both sides to return to balance before planning a counterattack.
The Kingdom of Wright has become a prominent point of defense.
The Kingdom of Hasting has been abandoned by the God Lord.
Even the temple of the Harvest Goddess has begun to migrate secretly.
Originally, the gods were preparing to clear the country from Hasting.
Kill all the nobles and commoners.
Don't let this country's population and resources become Fang Yuan's war potential.
The killing legion sent by the evil god is ready to set off.
But at this time, I heard King Hasting’s suggestion.
The messenger pondered.
It turns out that the Harvest Goddess also had this plan, but it was rejected by the other gods.
They were afraid that their migration would be too slow and they would be intercepted by Fang Yuan.
But current intelligence.
After Fang Yuan's army captured the El Fortress.
There was no further dispatch of troops, but a long period of rest.
Take advantage of this gap.
They could indeed move the population to the Kingdom of Leyte.
In this way, it will not only supplement the migrant workers needed by the Kingdom of Leyte.
Nobles can also become death warriors stationed in the Castle of Death.
It's always more cost-effective than laboring to kill yourself.
Again.
Even if the migration fails, they can still be killed on the spot.
It's better than massacring one village after another.
The efficiency is much higher.
Again!
She is the divine child of the Harvest Goddess.
Now there are less than 10,000 legions left under the goddess' command.
If a large number of civilians and nobles could be taken away from Hasting.
The future goddess can also select some of them and train an indigenous army.
In this way, the voice among the gods can be greater.
Various reasons made the messenger determined to change the plans set by the gods.
"Your Majesty the King."
"Then do as you wish."
"From now on, mobilize everyone in the Hasting Kingdom immediately."
"Whether it's a commoner or a noble."
"Start migrating immediately, aiming for the Kingdom of Wright."
"If you don't obey orders, no matter whether you are a noble or a commoner, you will be killed."
In Hastings.
It is the king and the nobles who jointly govern the country.
If the king issued an order that was ridiculous.
The nobles have the right to refuse implementation.
This is the unspoken rule between the king and the nobles.
So the king issued this unreasonable order.
Denial of execution is inevitable.
After the nobles repeatedly confirmed.
After getting indeed from the king.
soon.
There was turmoil within Hastings.
The nobles petitioned the king to withdraw this order.
He said that he would defend the royal capital and live and die with Hasting.
The messenger of the evil god had already expected this.
They decisively dispatched legions from the Wright Kingdom to the territories of various nobles to suppress them.
Just a few days.
Hundreds of nobles were killed within the Hasting Kingdom.
And this is such a retrograde move.
This directly aroused the anger of the nobles.
Since there is no way to survive here.
They surrendered to the third prince.
All of a sudden.
Documents of surrender from nobles from all over Hasting flew to El Fortress like pieces of paper.
Within the fortress.
Guderian also knew about the foolish moves within the Hasting Kingdom.
As the commander of the Alpha Legion's front lines.
I have to admit, this is simply a picked-up victory.
It is almost possible to capture the Kingdom of Hastings without any bloodshed.
It turned out that I was still thinking of using Heidi's lurking spies and the third prince.
Convince the nobles to surrender.
Try not to send troops as much as possible, and win more support from the nobles.
In this way, the war potential of the Hasting Kingdom will not be consumed.
After taking over, you can recruit troops and continue the war.
There is no need to consume the war potential between yourself and Hasting because of resistance from various places.
Although Guderian is not afraid of death.
But it would be better to die less.
For this plan, they have been working secretly for a long time.
This is also the reason why we have not entered the army.
These days, the gains are no small.
At least most of the towns on the plain in front of El Fortress chose to surrender secretly.
The rest are just sitting on the fence and relatively ambiguous.
Guderian was asked not to enter their territory.
Originally, Guderian didn't want to spoil them and planned to send troops to kill chickens and scare monkeys.
Shock these nobles.
But I never expected it.
Don't wait to do it yourself.
The Kingdom of Hastings took the initiative to provide a divine assist.
Saw letters like snowflakes.
The third prince took the initiative to find Guderian and repeatedly confirmed the accuracy of the news.
His eyes were full of incredible colors.
Although he knows the Alpha Kingdom, it can definitely help him take down Hasting.
He is destined to become the king of Hastings.
But I never thought it would be so easy.
Looking at the letter in his hand.
The third prince didn't know whether to be happy or sigh.
This time.
Guderian looked at the third prince and said.
"Judging from the contents of the letter."
"Things in Hastings are better than we thought."
"But there is also news that the evil god's messenger is ready to take action."
"They brought in a large number of legions from the Kingdom of Wright."
"Attempting to forcibly relocate the nobles and commoners of Hasting Kingdom."
"We absolutely cannot let them do this."
"I have decided to send troops immediately."
"Take the Kingdom of Hasting as soon as possible."
"Third Prince, you are the future king of Hastings."
"From now on, you assist Heidi and contact the nobles of Hastings."
"Let them make their position clear as soon as possible and send troops to be the vanguard of our army."
As a qualified commander.
Guderian knew.
The nobles' promises cannot be trusted.
Until the other side sends troops, their words cannot be believed.
They are now forced to do so.
If there were other opportunities, I might even encourage the third prince to betray him.
So at this time, let the third prince follow Heidi.
Let Heidi use the puppet potion to control these surrendered nobles.
Only Guderian can rest assured.
soon.
The spies in El Fortress began to enter the Kingdom of Hastings.
They held the potion in one hand and the third prince's letter of appointment in the other.
If you don't accept the medicine, you can't become a noble under the third prince.
Although the nobles knew that drinking the potion would definitely not be a good thing.
But compared to following King Hasting to the Kingdom of Wright.
After weighing the two.
The nobles all chose to drink the potion.
And within half a month.
Guderian was at El Fortress and did not dispatch even a single soldier.
He successfully conquered the nobles on the plain leading to the royal capital of Hastings.
Then in the name of the third prince.
From these nobles, an army numbering three hundred thousand was conscripted.
Except for a few nobles and knights who are elite.
The main force is untrained farmers or hired mercenaries.
The combat effectiveness is naturally not much higher.
But the quantity is enough.
Subsequently.
Guderian personally led the reorganized Border Knights as the main force.
Known to the outside world as a million-strong army.
The waves were pressing towards the capital of King Hastings.
This time.
Whether it's Hasting or the messenger of the evil god.
Everyone knew that Hasting had no hope.
Defeat is decided.
Those nobles who did not want to retreat and were unwilling to retreat.
When the third prince led a million troops to attack the royal capital.
Counterattacks were raised one after another.
He personally led the knights and soldiers and joined the third prince's command.
And every new noble took the initiative to take the puppet potion.
When the army led by the third prince arrived at the capital of Hastings.
Excluding Guderian's thirty thousand border knights.
A peasant army formed by the nobles of the Kingdom of Hastings.
The number actually reached millions! ! !
And their joining directly caused the bankruptcy of the plan of King Hasting and the Messenger of the Evil God to relocate the nobles and commoners of Hasting.
The royal capital of Hastings.
"Your Excellency."
"The nobles. The nobles began to betray."
In the royal capital, there are still some nobles who are loyal to the king.
After the Third Prince's million-strong army appeared.
They were also trembling with fear.
At this time, the king looked at the messenger of the evil god.
"Your Excellency, we are now~"
The evil messenger was also extremely depressed.
He did not expect that the situation in Hasting would change so quickly.
The migration of nobles and commoners has just moved away part of the area near the royal capital.
But I didn't expect it.
There was a rebellion from the nobles across the country.
"Damn."
"Our troops are still not strong enough to suppress the nobles' betrayal."
The evil messenger cursed angrily.
"Forget it, there is nothing we can do, we can only withdraw."
"Send the order, take the cronies from the royal capital, and retreat immediately."
"Wait a minute, the royal capital cannot be left to them."
"Set fire and burn down the royal capital."
Currently, there are more than 500,000 people living in the capital of Hastings.
If a fire is set, there will be heavy casualties.
At this time, the nobles responsible for executing the order also felt compassion.
The news spread quietly.
soon.
A rebellion occurred in the royal capital.
When the army of the three princes was about to surround the royal capital.
The king and the messenger of the evil god were almost surrounded and beaten to death by the angry people of the royal capital.
I could only bring some of my cronies with me.
He fled the Hasting Kingdom in embarrassment.
The third prince led an army of one million people in an armed parade.
Arriving at the Kingdom of Hastings smoothly.
Then, under the cheers of the people in the royal capital, he ascended the throne without any bloodshed.
Became the new king of the Hasting Kingdom.
After ascending the throne, the third prince issued the first order.
"A million-strong army formed by nobles."
"Head to the front immediately."
"War on the Kingdom of Leyte."
A new round of battle between Evil God and Fang Yuan begins.
And this time!
The Evil God was completely reduced to a passive defensive side.
The strategic initiative lies entirely in Fang Yuan's hands.
And this time!
Within the capital of Alpha.
Fang Yuan looked at the map in front of him.
A dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
"I thought building a fortress would slow down my attack speed."
"Innocent!"
Fang Yuan looked at Christian beside him.
"Over in the Orc Kingdom, what's new about Brainy?"
"Yes."
"The Orc King has been controlled by the puppet potion."
"They have taken control of the main nobles of the orcs."
"The orc army can be mobilized to join the battle at any time."
This is huge good news for Fang Yuan.
You can see it on the map.
After Hasting took it.
The remaining four countries.
In the four kingdoms of Wright, Leiden, Lannis, and Xinhui.
Leiden and Wright are two twin kingdoms, back to back.
The border between Leyte and the Kingdom of Leiden is now closed.
A prominent fortress was built to threaten Alpha and Hastings.
And want to capture these two kingdoms.
You need to smash these castles one by one along the way.
Even Alpha's Alchemist is strong.
But it is not that easy to win two kingdoms in a short period of time.
Moreover.
The two kingdoms of Lannis and Xinhui have also completed their general mobilization and stationed troops on the border.
There are signs of invasion.
Now I am equivalent to a third-line battle.
The evil god was also desperate and would not fight him in the wild.
Just fight stupidly and defend the castle.
As a result, I can only eat bits and pieces, but I can't mobilize all the elites to go there.
Only part of them can be sent to fight in rounds.
Fighting bad wars on the border consumes soldiers.
Fang Yuan naturally would not allow this to happen.
That's why I asked about the situation in the Orc Kingdom.
Because if you cross the Red River Valley.
Let the orcs go south, enter the eastern border of Hasting Kingdom, and go around the coastline.
Able to successfully enter the rear of Leiden Kingdom.
If the army of the Orc Kingdom can appear there.
Attack the Kingdom of Leiden from the rear.
Then the defense lines of the Leiden and Wright kingdoms established by the evil god would completely lose their meaning.
His own army can attack his rear.
Fang Yuan's hand quickly drew a line on the map.
Then he said to Christian.
"Send someone to the north immediately and hand it over to Doug."
"Then give the order to Sam."
"Withdraw from the Red River Valley."
"Get out of the way."
"After Doug assembles his Legion."
"Just walk along the red river valley and around the coastline."
"Attack the rear of the Kingdom of Leiden." "Follow your orders!" (End of this chapter)
