Chapter 176 The First Black Bone Swamp War
“What? The entire Black Bone Swamp is at war?”
After hearing these words from Busak, Horn almost fell off his horse Come down.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Busak, who rushed to Daze Township first and then returned, shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It was originally just a small-scale conflict between the two kingdoms, but now it has spread to the entire Black Bone Swamp. "
Under the gloomy sky, dense metasequoias and endless puddles are intertwined. The forest is like a maze, and both water snakes and water voles are gradually falling into hibernation.
Slimes of all sizes no longer have the desire to go out, and they sink to the bottom of puddles to hibernate.
This caused great trouble to the Salvation Army sergeants who were out looking for food and cutting wood. They often slipped and fell because they stepped on slimes.
On the road between metasequoia and puddles, there is a long queue that stretches for four or five miles.
The refugees are moving forward with numb steps. At the front of the long queue, people from the Salvation Army are slowly walking into the scheduled camping site.
In this desolate swamp, there is an open area surrounded by bushes and earth bags.
The first group of people who passed through left tents and thatched houses here, as well as some firewood, so that Horn would not have to set them up again, saving a lot of time.
In fact, Horn is planning to build outposts on these natural campsites.
It is possible for the knights to rush into the Wild Spider Grove, although it is unlikely that the knights would rush into the Wild Spider Grove.
However, considering that he always had accidents, Horn still felt that he had to be careful in everything.
The Salvation Army's 25,000 people set off in four batches. The first batch, led by Busak, totaled 5,000 people and entered the Wild Spider Forest to clear the way.
The second group was led by Madeleine with 8,000 people, the third group was led by Thomas with 8,000 people, and the fourth group was led by Horn himself with 4,000 people.
However, after Horn ensured that everyone got rid of the Order Company, he handed over the fourth team to Armand's leadership.
He himself moved forward alone, hoping to get to the front as soon as possible to discuss the placement of the 25,000 people with the lycanthrope kings.
After three days of rushing slowly, he finally caught up with the second team led by Madeleine today.
But Horn had just arrived, and as soon as he entered the camp, he saw Busak, the leader of the first team.
Originally, Horn was still thinking that since he was not in the front team, what was he doing here? Could it be that he was injured?
As soon as Kecai got closer, Busak told him a piece of news that was as big as a bucket.
"No, I've only been away for a month. Where did the Hundred Kingdoms War come from?" Horn really couldn't understand. In such a big place, there was a Hundred Kingdoms War.
Beside him, the refugees from Fort Joan of Arc were following one step at a time, while some old, weak, sick and disabled people were placed on the carriage, leaning on it tiredly. Board edge.
“Tell me carefully, what happened?”
Busak explained to Horn while recalling: "Actually, this war has something to do with you."
"What does this have to do with me."
"That's it, The Queen of the Osha Kingdom and the Hela Kingdom are from the same dynasty. When you arrived, the Queen of the Hela Kingdom passed away during the attack on the Imperial Company, and she had no children to inherit the throne.
With the help of your canonized legitimacy. Queen Gilarimi of the Osha Kingdom returned first and united the Hela Kingdom with this prestige.
But in fact, the Hela Kingdom and the Kingdom of Hindian belonged to the same swamp continent. It is a kingdom that was divided at the hands of the previous queen and changed its dynasty
The people of Xidian wanted to take advantage of Queen Xidian's return to the El Empire to recapture the Kingdom of Hela and unify the 20 citizens of Xidian, but Gilarimi picked the peach.
A Greek female warrior was so angry that when Queen Osha was touring the Hela Kingdom in her car, she hid in the crowd with two divisions and shot her with a slingshot.
Seeing that the situation was irreversible, the Kingdom of Xidian simply launched a blitzkrieg and captured the Kingdom of Heila in one hour and twenty minutes, completing the unification of the 1.5 million square meter territory of the Numa Heart Continent. This move quickly aroused the dissatisfaction of the dynasty family behind Queen Gilarimi of the Kingdom of Osha. They demanded that the Kingdom of Hitdian return the Kingdom of Hela, but Queen Hitdian ignored it.
The envoys of the two sides continued to compete in diplomacy, the surrounding powers continued to intervene, and the outbreak of geopolitical and resource conflicts caused the two sides to form alliances.
They are the Terror Brother Alliance, led by the Xidian Kingdom, and the Meng Brother Alliance, led by the Qiaoge Kingdom.
There are eighty-five divisions of the Terrorist Alliance and one hundred and twenty-two divisions of the Mengge Alliance. As of today, the entire Daze Township has been filled with blood. "
"Where is our first team now? "Horn asked, rubbing his forehead.
Busak shook his head: "Your Majesty, the first team has stopped advancing. The beastman said that there is a war zone further ahead and we are not allowed to advance. "
"Two hundred people were fighting in a group, and they even came out of the war zone? ”
Horn thought that after the Battle of Fort Joan, he would be able to stay away from these insect incidents.
But he never thought that there must be a phoenix chick within ten meters of Wolong. It is true that every mountain is higher than the other.
But now he faced another problem. Before conquering the swamp lowlands, he needed to disperse the 25,000 members of the Salvation Army to the lycanthrope villages.
They can’t always be stationed in the Wild Spider Forest, right?
Even if the bone flute allows the holy ones to take turns playing, the team is too long, and even if a new bone flute is found in the church, they cannot handle it.
In the past four or five days, dozens of people have been killed by monsters and giant spiders.
As for the long-haired monsters in the lowland swamp, because Horn still took the route of the blue-blood orphanage this time, he did not encounter them for the time being.
After all, they brought more than 20,000 people with them. If they were not properly resettled, they would rush straight into the territory of the hairy monster. Wouldn’t it be better to ask these refugees to feed the hairy monster?
Thinking of this, Horn looked around. A new batch of chariots picked up from Fort Joan of Arc formed a circle around the open area to guard against monsters that might appear at night.
Many of the refugees had sad looks on their faces. After all, taking this road must pass through the Blue Blood Monastery, which is a good opportunity for hate education.
Horn didn't go when he came, but he would go, and would go again if the day came.
Piles of bonfires were set up one after another, the rice crackers and bread were carried out on the carts, and more than a dozen peasant women from the logistics team were constantly stirring the colorless rice crackers in the big pot. Porridge.
This trip started from Fort Joan of Arc. Due to the problem of carrying capacity, Horn only carried basic rations for nearly two months.
In other words, the remaining one month's rations and the excess food for training soldiers must be provided by the lycanthrope kingdom.
For this reason, Horn also obtained a large amount of jewelry, brown sugar cubes and dyes, hoping to exchange materials from them.
But now that the beast-turned-people are at war, I'm afraid they won't have the energy or extra food to give Horn.
He is also planning to take a thousand cuirass pikemen and twenty holy gunners, as well as Jeanne, Pasric and others to the Qiu Mu Island in the lowlands before the entire army arrives. It takes about three days to clean up an area.
After all, for unarmored units, Jeanne's lightning is invincible. Not to mention the long-haired monsters, there is no need to say more about the level of those who are called barbarians by lycanthropes.
We plan well, but why do things always happen at the last minute?
"Let's do this." Opening his closed eyes, Horn tapped his forehead with his knuckles, "I'll go with you tomorrow to see if we can reconcile them and where their front lines are. ?”
"It's a place called Suomu River. It's at the junction of Upper Beize and Middle Beize. It's not far from here. I'll take you there tomorrow."
