Knight with Wand
Chapter 275: Seizing the city ahead of time
The setting sun dyed the fortress standing in the pass into a terrifying crimson. The flames inside and outside the strong city that had just ended the fighting gradually died out. The remains of the corpse ghosts were scattered everywhere, like purgatory. The soldiers were busy cleaning up the battlefield and clearing the devastation left after the fierce battle.
The corpse ghost crows made a creepy cry, and on the corpses that were still warm, they tore the flesh with sharp beaks and claws, and the black feathers were stained with blood.
The soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield waved their spears, trying to drive away the corpse birds that desecrated the remains of their comrades, but the disturbed corpse birds made annoying croaks and turned to pounce on the owner of the weapon.
(Uriah) ".Damn bastard."
The knight Cantadar who was cleaning the battlefield cursed angrily, his expression full of indignation and disgust, and swung the sharp blade to chop down the corpse ghost crow that was flying over, and stepped on it into rotten meat.
These crows that accompany disasters become even more annoying after they die.
On the battlements, the soldiers from Orland finally cleaned up the walls and let the flags of the living fly again.
The coalition forces gathered in Baldim were too complex and had no unified flag, so the soldiers used the sword-wing emblem that now belonged to the commander.
After the baptism of blood and fire, the fortress at Kilmerton Pass returned to the hands of the living.
In the hall of the fortress, under the light of torches and braziers, the blood stains around were still shocking, but this did not disturb the coalition generals who were already accustomed to the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
The soldiers temporarily moved tables from the fortress restaurant and put them together. Around the two sides of the spread map, the leaders sat in clear camps on the left and right.
On one side were the generals of the Thorn Flower Family headed by Earl Elliver, the Sea Eagle Knights and Duwana nobles led by Princess Ines, and representatives of the Avalon Knights, the Holy Lake Knights, and the Ranger Knights.
On the other side, there were the Lords of Kantadar, led by Earl Runaf, Earl Langstone, and Earl Sangetan.
Although there were many people in the large-scale military meeting attended by dozens of nobles, in fact, only the leaders of their respective armies spoke and discussed, and the voices in the hall were not chaotic.
Leon discussed the next plan with everyone and examined the current situation marked with chess pieces on the map.
The successful capture of the Kilmerton Pass was of great significance to the coalition forces. This solid fortress blocked the passage of Baldim County from the southeast to the northwest.
After summarizing the battles with the undead during this period, it was found that even if the ghouls who did not need supplies could cross mountains and ridges regardless of everything to bypass the passes on the earth, the mobile altars used to expand the dark cloud field, the soul bell corpse carts, could not follow the undead army to climb over the rugged and steep mountains.
The Soul Bell Corpse Cart must rely on roads for passage, and now, as long as this recaptured fortress stands, the undead in the southeast will hardly pose a direct threat to the rear of the coalition.
Thinking about it, Leon looked at Elifer on the side and secretly thanked the feudal lord.
The Earl of Thorn Flower, who arrived in Baldim County not long ago, did not ask him for the command of the army, but trusted his strategy without hesitation and supported him to continue to be the supreme commander of the entire coalition.
The battle to recapture Kilmerton was able to be carried out in advance and won so smoothly. The four thousand fresh troops brought by Elifer and Ines contributed greatly.
Leon turned his eyes and glanced at the little princess who was leaning over the table, tapping her chin with the fan, staring at the map and thinking.
The third princess who unexpectedly arrived at the front line of Kantadar was actually the first person to take down this fortress.
Although she did not interfere with her own battle plan, she brought a full thirty-one spellcasters to the coalition.
The high-level warlock Harvey under his command, and the thirty northern association warlock apprentices who persuaded King Ledwin to bring them, suddenly gave the coalition forces, which were suffering from a shortage of spellcasters, a large number of magicians.
And the role of these spellcasters actually far exceeded the four thousand elites brought by Elifer and Ines.
Although the levels of those warlock apprentices were uneven, most of the low-level spellcasters with dull talents did not know any killing magic at all, but Leon did not need these precious spellcasters to fight directly.
They only needed these people to act as magic batteries, light up the soul-protecting holy lamps they carried on the battlefield, and act as BUFF plug-ins for each unit.
The addition of thirty-one soul-protecting holy lamps meant that the main force of the coalition had about six thousand more "anti-necromancer troops" who could attack the undead strongholds head-on without fear of the soul bell without Laura's reversal of the altar.
Counting the seven spellcasters originally in the coalition, there were a total of more than eight thousand professional anti-necromancer warriors in the army, who could directly attack against the soul bell.
This is also the reason why the second phase of the scythe tactics originally planned for this battle could be skipped, and the general attack on the Kilmerton Fortress could be launched in advance.
This was the case here, and Leon could not help but have more confidence in the main force of Orland in the northern Mamor County.
I learned from Ines that her father mobilized all the forces of the Northern Warlock Association, and the royal family mobilized the alchemy guilds across the country to build the Holy Spirit Guardian Lamp at all costs.
I heard that now the Warlock Association, from the apprentices who have just learned to use magic in their teens to the experienced high-level warlocks who are one or two hundred years old, all the mages are equipped with the Holy Spirit Guardian Lamp.
Even if the group of people brought by Ines are excluded, there are still more than a dozen high-level warlocks and more than a hundred apprentices under the command of Ledwin III. With the help of the warlocks, the anti-necromancer forces there can be conservatively estimated to reach a scale of 20,000 to 30,000.
With the large amount of intelligence obtained by himself and the Kantadars, as well as the anti-undead weapons provided by Laura, the Orland army will undoubtedly not have to bear the unnecessary losses of the Kantadars who are helpless in the face of the undead.
Feeling that he is not the only one who is carrying the sky, Leon's pressure is much less.
He came back to his senses from his meditation and continued to say to everyone: ". Based on the fact that the original planned strategy was completed ahead of schedule, I will continue to use the previous sickle tactics, use the river to encircle the rear, and gradually recover the land southeast of Kilmerton Pass step by step."
Hearing this, Earl Langstone on the side of Kantadar looked at Leon calmly: "Commander, now that there are a large number of wizards, I think it is better to divide the troops into multiple routes and march south on land at the same time to advance with your troops.
Although the land route is much slower, it is obvious that outflanking with your main attack force can speed up the efficiency of recovering the entire territory of Baldim County."
Earl Sangetan and the Kantadar lords from other counties also echoed and supported Earl Langstone's proposal.
Count Runaf and the local lords of Baldim County did not rush to speak, but just observed Leon's attitude.
Listening to Count Langstone's advice, Leon knew that the other party was worried about his strategy of insisting on marching eastward to the border of Serian, and other nobles in Sobonitz County also wanted to go south to recover their lost territory.
However, due to his successive victories and growing prestige, Langstone and others could not openly oppose the established strategic direction, and at this moment, it seemed that they did not want to miss the opportunity to go south.
Holding his chin, Leon fell into deep thought, carefully weighing the pros and cons.
After a while, he felt that Count Langstone's proposal seemed to be okay.
As long as the other party can remain calm and not recklessly advance, attacking on both sides at the same time like a crab claw can indeed speed up the speed. With enough anti-necromance means, the army now has a lot more tactical options.
The only problem is that Leon is not confident in handing over the precious warlock apprentices in his hands directly to the Cantadar army.
"Your Highness, what do you think?" Leon asked Ines.
After all, those warlocks are the forces under the command of the three princesses, and how to deploy them still needs Ines's opinion.
The little princess looked up and smiled at Leon, then looked at the Cantadar noble opposite:
"Your Excellency's proposal is reasonable, but the northern warlocks I brought must always be protected by the Orland army.
If you are willing to accept the command of our Orland army after the division of troops, then I can dispatch fifteen low-level warlocks to help."
Langston tapped the table with his fingers, thought for a moment, and looked at Leon at the top.
Thinking that so far, the other party, as a guest army hired by invitation, is sincerely fighting against the undead, fighting on the most dangerous front line with his followers, and has a very reliable reputation. There is no sign of betraying the Cantadar people as cannon fodder, so he nodded.
As long as they can fight to the border of Baldim, there will be hope to return to the homeland of Langston County in the future.
"Since we are all fighting to liberate Sobonitz, I have no objection. Then, Lord Commander, who do you plan to appoint to command our attack?" Earl Langston asked Leon.
Leon looked at the people of the Thorn Flower Family.
Eliver's identity was too important, and he thought it was not appropriate to take the risk of commanding this vanguard.
If the Lord made a mistake, it would have a huge impact on the morale of the Thorn Flower Family's army and a series of subsequent effects.
"Lord Eliver, how do you think of letting Lord Balf command the army heading south?" Leon suggested.
"I believe Balf can do it." Eliver nodded.
No mistake, one sentence, one content, one content, one book, one bar, one book!
"I will definitely live up to the mission." The scarred baron said solemnly to Leon and the Lord.
After deciding on the commanders of each division, Leon discussed the detailed deployment with everyone.
After the reinforcements of Earl Eliver and Ines arrived, the size of the coalition army has now reached more than 24,000 people.
Among them, 6,000 are militiamen guarding the city gates in various places north of Kilmerton Fortress.
The 18,000 people who now occupy the pass area are the main force capable of fighting the undead in the field.
The elite troops who implement the sickle tactics along the river should not exceed 2,000 due to the limited transportation capacity of ships, and the original personnel configuration does not need to be changed.
After the Battle of Kilmerton, the 3,000 people who need to rest and rush back to the rear garrison.
At least 7,000 troops are needed to guard the pass area safely.
The remaining 6,000 soldiers can join Balf and march south.
After the preliminary plan for the next stage was finalized, Leon dismissed the meeting and asked the generals who had just experienced the bloody battle to return to the camp to rest.
Leading everyone and Leon through the corridors in the fortress, Elliver looked at him and joked:
"I see that you are becoming more and more like Count Trosa. Even I have never commanded such a large army, let alone such a group of people from different countries.
Kantadar, Orland, Dinesin, you three are even Serrians.
Looking at how familiar you have been with leading this army during this period, I would have thought you have fought for your whole life.
Tell me the truth, are you really the son of a hunter? Not the prince of the Serrian Kingdom?"
"Prince? My lord, you are really joking. My ancestors for three generations were hunters in the border mountains. If it weren't for the proximity to the Holy Land City, I'm afraid my family wouldn't even have the opportunity to learn to read. Now that we can ensure the safety of the army, it's just thanks to everyone's help." Leon shook his head modestly.
Of course, he couldn't explain to Feng Jun that there was a top -level player in his mind that he could serve as a consultant all day.
In the case of Jehiro's upper body, he would not have to bring the 10,000 or 20,000 troops. He simply took the root rope to find Yinnna reported earlier.
After speaking, Lyon looked back at the good brother beside him: "Speaking of which, compared to me, this kid is more like the prince of Surian."
Aze Ryan raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything, but just shrugged to Leon and Feng Jun.
Bar Barrier Barf, who followed Elifu, touched the beard and turned to look at Kobez, who followed Leon silently, and said, "Sir Armanel is expensive for the blood of the Veranian royal family, and now follows. For you, his cousin, your fiancee Miss Olivia, is also a distant relative of the East mainland royal family. There are already two. If you are like you, there are a few more kings around you. I am around you. I am afraid there is nothing strange. I think Azerren will play, maybe it ’s really the Sereian royal family."
"It makes sense." Lohak nodded with something, poked his elbow and poked Azerrean: "Are you?"
Azerrean gave this guy at a whitening guy, and he opened his mouth with a ridicule of the scar face, but he stopped talking, but closed his mouth.
His family has been destroyed in the Holy Land City, and now explaining the source of the Flares' family's spectrum has no meaning.
Balf did not notice the expression of the sons of the nobles. He just looked around in doubt and couldn't help scratching his head and asked, "Speaking, except for the battlefield, I didn't seem to have seen Miss Olivia. "" "
Ecae listened and remembered the girl who had saved his wife.
He listened to the Cavaliers such as Marcelo, Rayou, and other knights who had emotted the terrible girl martial arts, but had never seen any time, or this time the Subyzz collar finally saw it on the battlefield of these days. The girl's powerful style.
Elipu was so emotional that Selva was really a treasure. He never thought that he had a humble little mountain village. The extraordinary girl of the Nya royal family.
"Yeah, what about your powerful little fiancee? Is it injured?"
Lyon heard the words, and he was slightly stunned, and quickly waved his hand: "Cough, adults don't have to worry, Olivia is just fighting for days, and she is a bit tired.
Internal? Barf stunned.
Since entering Baldim County, he has not seen any introverted performance of the generous girl. If it wasn't for the girl who looked like a girl, the heroic temperament of the heroes sometimes even ignored her as a girl.
Lyon didn't want to say a lot, quickly pulled a topic, led everyone's attention, and turned to the business.
Olivia is naturally not injured, but these days, they have been quietly avoking King Inte.
Both he and his little lion did not expect that Elifer can come to Incel's troops, and the little king himself has deeply reached such a dangerous front line.
Although, with the origin of weaving and mature, Lyon is not afraid that Elvis can see what Elivia was born after the civil war.
But after all, it is better to avoid more.
Um?
Lyon talked with Erica and others, looking at the team behind him.
Having said that, what about Inte?
