Chapter 436: Decapitation Tactics! The birth of a witch empire! (Please subscribe)
Two months later.
Boom!
With the blazing flames, watched by a group of black-armored knights, the solid castle and the corpses inside were quickly swallowed up. The billowing black smoke rose into the sky like a giant dragon, seeming to declare Marking the end of an era.
"Victory!"
The black-armored knights raised their weapons excitedly and shouted loudly.
They should also be happy, because this is the area near Green Water Swamp. It is the most powerful and the Earl with the highest title. Even his name is very simple and straightforward, he is called Earl of Green Water.
Theoretically, the vast green water swamp, and even other surrounding nobles, belonged to this count's fief a long time ago, but it was only later divided and gradually declined.
But even so, he still has the strength to crush other nobles around him.
With enough time, the earl was able to form a fully armed army of hundreds of people, more than half of whom were professional knights who had been trained since childhood, and their combat power was extremely terrifying.
At least dealing with these black-armored knights who were originally serfs or freedmen was definitely not a problem.
However, as I said, the premise is that there must be enough time for these knights to come out of their manor, lead their retainers on horses, gather at the count's castle, repair their weapons, and restore order. OK.
Just gathering them together will take at least a month.
However, the witch's power of action far exceeded the imagination of these nobles.
Due to the naturally closed nature and self-sufficiency of noble fiefdoms, many nobles actually "reside" in their own homes and are indifferent to the outside world, and the circulation of news is extremely slow.
Unless a certain big nobleman sends messengers to other noblemen, most of them ignore what is going on outside the window and only focus on living their own small lives.
Even if something happens in a nearby territory, it will take time for it to be reported, and then people will have to be sent to continue to investigate. After the investigation is completed and the truth is confirmed, one's own side will then respond, and this is impossible With one exception, it takes a lot of time.
The witch led her rabble and the skeleton warriors as the main force, and took advantage of this window of time.
Under the leadership of the fat businessman, he appeared in the territory of one noble after another, and then directly carried out beheading tactics. After success, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately selected the next target and continued the attack non-stop.
They are attacking during the day, and everyone else is asleep at night, but the skeleton warriors are still attacking.
With an almost crazy efficiency, the entire noble territory around Green Water Swamp was swept away. Most of the nobles, before the attack, still knew nothing about it and died without knowing how.
The few who got the news also behaved in a slow and rigid manner. At most, they summoned a few nearby knights and were unable to resist.
"Master, who are you going to kill next?"
Under the light of the fire, several black-armored knights excitedly approached the witch.
The battlefield is the most tempering place.
More than two months ago, they were just serfs who had just put down their hoes from the fields. Faced with freedom and the land assigned to them, they were at a loss what to do. They even felt terrified and were promoted to knights.
But in fact, at that time, most people had no confidence at all, and many people were secretly ready to flee or even betray.
As long as the situation is slightly unfavorable or at a disadvantage, they will kneel on the ground and beg the nobles for forgiveness.
However, in the past two months, under the leadership of the witch, they swept through one noble territory after another, and saw with their own eyes that those noble nobles and knights who used to be superior died in large tracts before their eyes, and their world view was strongly impacted. .
The nobles seem to be nothing more than that?
They are also human beings who bleed and fear, and are not even as powerful as those knights.
What’s there to be afraid of! So after two months of killing, the past thoughts were completely removed from the minds of these serfs.
In the past, they felt that it was natural and sacred for the aristocracy to rule them, but now, they feel that being ruled by these weak and imbecile guys is an unbearable shame.
As a result, she became more radical than a witch and wanted to kill all the nobles immediately.
The desire to fight is extremely high.
"This is the last goal. Next, we should go back."
The witch glanced at everyone and said.
"Yes, Master!"
The black-armored knights were a little disappointed, but they did not dare to disobey the witch's order at all.
Moreover, they also knew that without the witchcraft and the help of the skeleton warriors, it would be impossible for them to achieve such an impressive record.
“The war has just begun.”
The witch looked slightly excited: “Next, I want you to take advantage of this chaotic opportunity to attack foreign countries, conquer the territories of those nobles, and save the farmland. The slaves here, let them become my warriors!”
“I am more generous than those nobles. As long as you fight for me, I can give you all the land, servants, wealth, and rights!”< br>
“Fight for me and for your future, warriors!”
she shouted.
After a moment of silence, the black-armored knights surrounding her cheered warmly in unison.
A pair of eyes full of ambition and desire lit up under the helmet, like a beast that had been unchained.
The first year of the witch calendar.
The mysterious and powerful witch walked out of the swamp, killed the evil nobles, rescued the slaves who were oppressed by slavery, and selected followers from them to declare war on the nobles!
In March of the same year, the witch led her followers to sweep through the noble territories around the swamp, carrying out beheading tactics, uprooting the nobles one by one, and letting their evil souls sink into the swamp, never to see the light of day again.
In May, the witch issued a development order, and her followers went out to conquer the original noble territories.
At the same time, due to the large number of deaths of leading nobles, the surrounding nobles fell into chaos. There were branches and collaterals competing for inheritance rights, and other nobles outside wanted to take advantage of the situation and plunder land and wealth, leaving the entire area in chaos. A pot of porridge.
Unable to form a rope to deal with the expansion of the Witch Territory, they were defeated one by one.
In December, the rapidly expanding witch leader aroused the vigilance of a foreign noble. The other party contacted surrounding nobles and formed the first anti-witch coalition. As a result, the army was attacked midway. Under the attack of traitors and foreign enemies, After a joint attack, the entire army was wiped out.
In April of the Witch Calendar, the rapidly expanding Witch Territory soared in strength and already ruled most of the surrounding area of the swamp. The remaining noble territories could only survive and had to abandon their hatred and disputes and unite to protect themselves.
During the conquest process, a very small number of nobles, as well as a large number of knights, joined the witch clan, swore allegiance to the witches, and were accepted, showing the strong inclusiveness of this emerging group.
The noble alliance further collapsed, and internal and external troubles became more serious.
In August, the witch leader suddenly slowed down the pace of conquest, mobilized a large amount of manpower and material resources, built temples in the swamp, held sacrifices, and worshiped the master named "Mystery".
