Lord of War

  Under the dark night se, what should have been a quiet camp, but it resounded with painful wailing.

  In this camp, the fire is as bright as the day. It is the brightest area in the suburbs of Void City. Even standing on the wall of Void City, you can see the bright lights in the distance.

   "What the **** is going on!?" Yad's face looked extremely anxious.

  "I’m not too sure. I have asked someone to report to the Void City immediately. The Lord’s Mansion said that they would send someone to check immediately." Someone reported.

   "Damn it!" Yard cursed fiercely, "Where is Thain?"

"I don't know, the person who was sent to the Lord's Mansion did not find him." The officer who was doing the report continued, "It seems that the target person has left the city temporarily, but I don't know where to go. We are here in our capacity. Obviously there is no way to understand the Void City too clearly.... But I heard that we will be back tomorrow. At present, we have something like this, and Thain and the target person will definitely come to check it as soon as they come back, but..."

   "But what?" Yard roared impatiently.

   "I am worried that with our current situation, even if Thain brings the target person over, we will not be able to start."

  The target person naturally refers to Sean.

   Hearing this officer’s report, Yard gritted his teeth, his face became more angry, and he felt a kind of helpless sorrow about his situation.

   Bad luck.

  Originally because their army was the largest, but Thain specifically said not to conflict, so he could only split the army into two camps. Although this has some problems with the order and command, it is still possible to divide it into a ten-thousand-man battalion and a five-thousand-man battalion, so Yad did not consider too much. Only at this time, an order came from the Void City, and a 10,000-person mercenary group that had been built next to it suddenly withdrew and gave them the camp, so that they only need to make some repairs and expansions to accommodate them. There are fifteen thousand of them.

  So at that time, Yade thought his luck was still very good. Even in order to be more confident in the plan to kill Sean, he also divided the camp into a second camp, that is, a core camp where the upper-level officers are concentrated in the camp. In this way, Yad can naturally use "for the safety of officers" as an excuse to deploy key defenses and defensive layouts in this camp.

  As long as Sean comes to inspect and deceive him into it with an excuse, then Yard has the final say?

  Everything had been planned, but I didn't expect such a big accident at this time. This was completely beyond Yad's expectations.

  After dinner, a large number of soldiers began to experience toxic reactions such as vomiting and diarrhea. In addition, they were accompanied by weakness, dizziness, and excessive exhaustion. This is also the reason why the soldiers in the camp are all in the air. However, if it is for their poisoning, close to a quarter of the people in the camp did not experience this situation, especially the upper-level officers in the core camp, who obviously did not have this problem.

  According to common sense theory, to disrupt the true combat effectiveness of an army is not simply to reduce the number of soldiers. The quickest and best solution is to resolve middle-level and upper-level officers who can command, so that the orders from the upper level of the army cannot be transmitted to the lower level immediately, so it is a matter of course that the army is in a state of chaos-this kind of thing , Even ordinary soldiers can understand.

  Because of this, Yard didn't think much about it.

  And soon, the doctor sent from Void City also came.

After conducting a diagnosis on some soldiers, the final diagnosis conclusions reached were similar to what Yad had guessed in his heart: long-term fatigue and lack of sleep, combined with digestive disorders caused by overeating, and food caused by inadequacy of water and soil. Poisoning. A single item is not too fatal, just take a break, but if the two are concurrent, the situation is more serious, but if you don't take a few days of rest, I'm afraid there will be no way to recover.

  This is an important reason why the military will have logistics and maintenance support.

  Wait until the medical staff prescribes the prescription, and then boil the potion to help detoxify. After everything is done, there are only one or two hours before dawn.

  The remaining quarter of the soldiers were already exhausted, not to mention the officers and Yard in the barracks.

   "My lord, do you want to arrange for patrols?" an officer asked.

"What are you patrolling!" After a day of anger, coupled with various discomforts caused by exhaustion and lack of sleep, Yad finally inevitably exposed the ruthlessness of the nobleman. "Who do you think is there now? Can patrol? Are you? Or me?"

  Being scolded by Yard so much, the officer did not dare to say anything. The other officers saw his eyes full of pity.

  Obviously, everyone is very tired at this moment, and I can’t wait to get a rest immediately. At this time, I came out and said these things. This is not for scolding, even if I really want to do my duty, it is not now. At this moment, if the soldiers who are still able to act continue to stand guard, it will definitely arouse military grievances. This problem is much more troublesome than food poisoning.

  It's just that Yad is so angry, or makes others feel a little dissatisfied. Of course, no one would say anything at this moment. Soon someone came out to make a round. Yad just snorted and went back to his camp to rest. The other officers looked at each other and looked a little helpless. An easy task, but no one thought it would become so troublesome. This was completely beyond their expectations, so they could understand Yad's anger.

   Back in the camp, Yard's face looked very ugly.

"It's Jing Rui, bah!" He spit out a thick sputum, then took a bottle of good wine and took a big gulp. After feeling that his throat and even his entire stomach were completely burning, Yade sat down. On the edge of the bed, remove the outer robe.

Perhaps because of excessive exhaustion, coupled with the effect of wine jing, Yade soon felt a little sleepy, and fell asleep behind him in a daze. He just fell asleep like this, and even the wine bottle in his hand fell on I didn't feel the slightest sensation when I poured the precious golden liquid inside.

  Soon, the entire barracks fell into silence.

  ……

   "Time should be almost up." A middle-aged man with a big beard suddenly said.

"Wait, be careful." Compared with the burly figure of the middle-aged man with a beard, the figure of the speaker is much thinner. "According to the information from the employer, the opponent this time It's not easy..."

   Before the thin man finished speaking, another person interrupted: "Do you mean that you don't believe in our abilities?"

  The person who said this was a woman, but her voice was not soft and charming, but rather rough and hoarse. She may have been a beauty once, but now there is a hideous scar on her face that almost spans half of her face, across the entire throat and spreading to her chest, apparently even the vocal cords have been damaged. Even if such a woman has a proud figure that is not inferior to Elizabeth, it is really difficult for anyone to have any sex.

  Of course, people who know her identity will not have any thoughts about her.

"Sister Scorpion, I believe that the old wolf doesn't mean that." Another man who should be considered the youngest in the crowd smiled roundly, "Everyone knows that you are the most poisonous, but the other party is from the Fourth Legion of Darbion. Soldiers, there is nothing wrong with us being careful."

"Red Scorpion, I am not very good at talking. You also know that I have never entered the Temple of Wisdom, so don't mind if there is anything wrong." The thin man called the old wolf also smiled apologetically. "Anyway, we all know that poison is a thing. The longer the time the greater the advantages and benefits for us, so it doesn’t matter if we wait."

   "Huh." The woman named Red Scorpion snorted coldly, but this time there was no objection.

   Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit stiff, and the four people who spoke were all famous in the mercenary regiment world on the southern side of the mainland, the other two mercenary regiment leaders who could be said to have come to gather the number of people did not dare to speak much. Anyway, in these six mercenary regiments, although the number of their two mercenary regiments has the size standard of 5,000 people, but in terms of their combat effectiveness and other capabilities, it is naturally not comparable to the four in front of them, so they It would not be ashamed to shut up and not speak.

   "Time, almost." The youngest man said.

   And just before the heads of the two mercenary regiments could react, the three known as the Red Scorpion, the Old Wolf, and the burly man had already waved their hands and issued the combat order to attack.

   More than a dozen teams with a size of about dozens of people, with a clear division of labor, immediately sneaked into the camp.

  Originally, everyone had prepared a lot of archers to deal with guards who stood guard, but unexpectedly, no soldiers were in charge of standing guard. This saved them a lot of effort. Among the ten mercenaries who were responsible for the first infiltration, those wearing black leather armor with a black skull emblem on a white background were obviously the most professional, followed by the same wearing black leather armor. It is the person embroidered with the red se scorpion pattern.

   These two groups are from the Yemei Mercenary Group and the Red Scorpion Mercenary Group.

  The two mercenary regiments, along with the wild wolf mercenary regiment led by the old wolf and the fierce bear mercenary regiment led by the burly man, are all quite famous mercenary regiments on the southern continent. Although limited to the scale, only the black banner can be used, but for many large mercenary groups that are qualified to use the blue banner, if they can, they will not want to provoke these four mercenary groups, especially the red. Scorpion mercenary regiment.

   Although this mercenary group has only 5,000 people, it is a mercenary group that is very good at field operations and poisoning, especially in terms of how to weaken the enemy's strength and combat power.

  In contrast, the members of the Yemei Mercenary Group are particularly good at assassination and night combat skills. Especially in places such as jungles and mountains, they can even lay traps all over the mountains, completely change the benefits of the terrain, and completely control the geographical benefits in their hands.

  As for the bear mercenary group and the wolf mercenary group, the combat style of these two mercenary groups is similar to Alfred’s Thunder Lion. Especially the Fierce Bear Mercenary Corps. They rarely lose in wars with a scale of less than 10,000 people, but the death rate is staggeringly high. Therefore, the employment they accept is usually very high. Every attack is done well. Psychological preparation for annihilation. Relatively speaking, the wild wolf mercenary group is also in the size of 10,000 people, but what they are best at is more bullying wolves tactics, especially in pursuit.

At this time, these four mercenary regiments each with their own characteristics, together with the other two mercenary regiments with a size of 5,000, attacked a regular army that had been poisoned at night. No matter in which aspect, they were completely Occupy the advantage. But despite this, judging from the actions of these mercenary regiments, there is still no slack. They all abide by the tactical experience of mercenaries.

  Be cautious after being cautious.

  The first group of dozens of mercenaries who sneaked into the camp quickly dispersed. At this time, the second group of mercenary groups sneaked in, and then the third group.

  The three groups of mercenary regiments have a total of 2,000 people, and they are responsible for solving those soldiers who are not affected by the poisoning.

  This is a night assassination plan.

  Although there will be resistance, if you are cautious and careful enough, you can solve the last batch of enemies in this camp who still have resistance before the soldiers of the Fourth Army of Darbion can fully react.

  Yad’s idea is indeed correct. The officer who solves an army can indeed paralyze the combat effectiveness of an army and cause chaos. But in the same way, if it can solve all the soldiers in an army, then the empty officers are also worthless.

  According to William’s temporarily revised battle plan, the soldiers of the Fourth Army of Darbion were obviously useful. So if you can, of course, you must retain these soldiers as much as possible. As for the middle and upper-level officers and generals, they are the most threatening existence, so they are not in William's plan.

  The sound of the leather ripped apart by the sword, sounded slightly in the camp.

Although    is not very strong, it is already enough to attract some people's attention.

  Immediately afterwards, the smell of blood also began to permeate the camp.

At this time, even the six heads of mercenary regiments standing outside the camp can smell the pungent blood in the air, in addition to the moist moisture in the air, so they are the enemy soldiers who have settled in the camp. How could the commander not smell it?

  Vaguely, the sound of weapon collisions from inside the barracks rang out one after another, accompanied by loud and hasty shouts.

   "Hey, do you still need to work hard in the end?" The head of the Yemei Mercenary Group sighed helplessly.

   "Leave these things to me." The burly middle-aged man gave a grin, then took off a horn from his waist, leaned to his mouth and blew it.

   "Woo——Woo——"

  The sound of the horn, finally completely tore the peace of the last moment of dawn.

   The violent stepping sound began to sound, although the sound was not as neat and coherent as the steel wings and the thunder lion, but in terms of momentum, it was not inferior to the two extremely powerful armies under Sean. A large number of warriors wearing black armor and holding a long-handled battle axe began to appear on the horizon.

  As the burly man lifted the tomahawk that had been inserted on the ground a long time ago, and waved his hand forward, this black wave chao finally rushed towards the barracks where the Fourth Army of Dabion was stationed like a tsunami.

  ……

  The sky, just turned up white.

  Tianse, it is not yet completely bright.

  But standing on the wall of Void City, you can see the scenery like sunset.

  It was a continuous fire.

  The raging flames are burning completely, dyeing the entire sky into a blushing scene like sunset clouds.

  Sean looked at the flames stupidly, and from the corner of his eyes that bounced slightly, it could be judged that his mood at the moment was obviously not very calm. It was not until last night that he said that the 15,000 people who came with him this time were soldiers of the Fourth Legion of Darbion, did he know that four of the six mercenary regiments employed by William this time were nothing. Simple angle se, but he clearly remembered that the flags hanging on the camp at that time were not the flags he was familiar with.

  He always thought that he had successfully entered Sean’s core system. But he didn't know until now that all this was not as simple as he thought. Perhaps if William had not hired those four famous mercenary regiments, or perhaps there was no mercenary regiment called Red Scorpion in it, then the 15,000 soldiers of the Fourth Legion of Darbion that he brought with him would indeed be true. Can give Sean a surprise.

  But unfortunately, there is no possibility in this world.

  In other words, even if he can surprise Sean, he can't kill Sean.

  Because he already knew the identity of the middle-aged man standing next to Sean at this moment, who he had never seen before, and now finally knows his name.

  Bannock, the Paladin of the Bulwark.

  Looking at him in heavy armor and equipment, you know how difficult it is to kill Sean under his protection. In particular, this man is also a demon hunter, which shows that his concentration can be highly concentrated under any circumstances, and he will never be distracted or slack.

  At this moment, when the skyrocketing fire was burning, Thain knew that the 15,000 people of Darbion’s Fourth Army were completely planted in the hands of Sean and William. In the original plan, these five thousand people were naturally to be killed, but after knowing that it was the Fourth Legion of Darbion, William actually had the intention of surrendering-of course, this is not the case under any circumstances. What may be accomplished, but with the joint hands of Red Scorpion and Sean, it is not difficult at all.

  The answer is still poisoning.

  The food eaten before, plus the medicine that pretended to be a doctor afterwards, both the food and medicine are mixed with poisonous ingredients. And when these two poisons are mixed together, they form a highly poisonous cyclical nature. If these people want to survive, they must follow Sean's command. Only in this way can they obtain the antidote. Of course, Thain believes that with Sean’s personality, it is impossible for him to detoxify these people once. For long-term use, he must use periodic detoxification.

  There is no doubt that these soldiers who know the truth will eventually choose to join Sean's command.

  And this, but a total of 10,000 Jing Rui soldiers!

  When he thought that he had brought Sean a source of 10,000 Jing Rui soldiers, Thain had an urge to draw himself.

   "You did a good job." Sean stretched out his hand and patted Thain on the shoulder, recalling Thain who was still in thought back to reality.

   "My lord, I don't think these 10,000 people are willing to surrender." Thain has a feeling of lifting a rock and smashing himself in the foot, and this feeling is the second time. And for the first time, it naturally meant that he took people to chase down his relatives, and brought the things in the treasure treasury to Sean. If he had known that there was a set of angel armor in it, he would definitely not get close to Xiao. Grace and killed his own relatives.

  However, there are no ifs in the world.

  Wrong one step, you lose all the games.

  This is the game.

"It doesn't matter." Sean shrugged. "Even if there are only five thousand people, you can form a powerful army.... Didn't Clough's Cecilia Guards have suffered heavy losses before, this time this batch People can just give Clover. With these people's military literacy and combat effectiveness and Clover's abilities, they can officially appear on the battlefield in less than a month. This is definitely a timely rain for us."

   Thain looked constipated.

"Indeed." William nodded. "In terms of strength alone, there are Yemei, Red Scorpion, Wild Wolf, Fierce Bear and those two are purely for the number of people. We are no less inferior to any of the current Darbion Kingdom. A powerful earl, even in terms of the quality of the army, we have a level comparable to those of the powerful marquis of the Kingdom of Darbion. As for the territory of the Principality of Ryan, except for Asuna-sama and the commander of the Holy Wall, as well as those shown in the intelligence. Besides personally, there are few people who can compare with me....When Cloff is ready, we can formally confront the fellows of the southern nobles of Darbion."

   "Heh, don't forget we still have two hole cards."

  When he heard Sean say the word "hole card", Thain's heart jumped suddenly, because he didn't even know what the two hole cards were!

   "My lord, urgent report!"

   A sudden shout made Xiao En’s brow suddenly raised, but when he turned around, he saw a red-seed scroll letter being presented in the hands of an officer.

  Red se, which represents military emergency report.

  William quickly snatched it, then opened it, and his face instantly became yin sinking: "It seems that we can't wait for Clover to be ready."

"what happened?"

  William handed the note in his hand, which was obviously passed through magic communication, to Sean.

  The note is not big, it can even be said to be very thin and light, but when Sean holds it in his hand, he can feel the heavy weight on it.

There are only two sentences in   , but the scribbled handwriting can be faintly distinguished. The content on this note is very hastily written.

  ——Hiero was occupied, two fortresses were breached, three thousand guards died four hundred in battle, five hundred routs, and the rest surrendered. The main enemy force is the 35,000 Darbion Fourth Legion, with a total strength of 50,000. It has deployed a defensive layout around Hierro, and the Jederby has completely fallen.

   "It seems that you were completely used." Sean took a deep breath, and then handed the note to Thain.

   Seeing what was written on the note, Thain’s face became extremely difficult to look like: "Hela Nugus!"

"It should be using the guise of secretly transporting troops to Mitchlin City, and at the same time transporting the remaining soldiers of the Fourth Legion of Darbion to Yedby." William frowned and thought about it, and he also had the answer in his heart. The reason why we were not discovered was that we had adopted similar tactics as we used to lead in Suoan. These soldiers were disguised and dispersed, and then they gathered and launched a surprise attack, which caught us by surprise."

"Besides, you should know all about Thain's actions." Shaun added, "Otherwise, he wouldn't attack as soon as Thain arrived in the Void City. This is a double trap. ... the other side. There must be someone from the Nugus family planted beside Thain."

  Yad Nugus!

  Sion’s pupils shrank suddenly. At this moment, if he still didn’t understand why this kind of task, which was not a big deal, would send an excellent child of the Nugus family over, then he was really a fool. And for a long time, Thain also knew that Yad was here to monitor him, but he still did not expect that Yad could have such another role!

"I know who it is." Thain exhaled. At this moment, he also knew that he was not completely trusted on either Sean's side or Hela's side. He thought he had everything in control, but The feeling of being treated as a **** by both sides really took a big blow to his self-esteem. But because he is a smart man, he knows exactly what he will do next so that he won't even have the value of being a **** on Sean's side.

"Yad Nugus. Hela Nugus' cousin, although he is a member of the side family, he is actually a more talented person. I used to think that he was just the person who was in charge of monitoring my actions, so I didn't dare to bring him this time into the city. I didn't expect..." Thain lowered his head, "I'm sorry!"

"It doesn't make any sense to say this now. The most important thing is what we are going to do next." Sean also sighed helplessly in his heart. Thain is indeed a very smart person, and he is extremely capable in all aspects. Such a person's allegiance is definitely something that any lord wants, but Sean knows very well that the red halo on Thain's body is not a joke at all. This is a time bomb, if it weren't for him to have real eyes. If he had killed Thain long ago, how dare to keep such a person by his side.

"Hella is indeed very smart. Instead of attacking the Daj collar, which has almost no military strength at present, he chose the Yedby collar." William said in a deep voice. For us, there is no value other than a rich territory, but for the Darbion Kingdom, it is a strategically important place equivalent to the Chiraff....This territory is currently being renewed by Darbion. Retaken, this is equivalent to saying that whether it's the Dayi collar or the Tinky collar, even the Panda collar is completely within the opponent's attack range. It can even be said that because the Yeder is closer to the Void City, the opponent is fully capable. Attack directly on the void city."

   "What do you mean... We are currently in Void City all the forces restrained?"

"You can say that." William nodded, "The opponent's current strength is 50,000, but our Void City is only 60,000 including the 10,000 just captured, and there is no advantage in military strength at all. So if we still want to divide our troops to protect Dayi leader, the opponent will definitely attack the Void City without hesitation.... In this way, we can only abandon Dayi leader."

   "In this case, aren't they in danger in Florence?"

   "It's not just Florence." William shook his head, "Don't forget that the Soan collar is next to the Daj collar."

"This……"

"Although we have eaten the 15,000 soldiers of the Fourth Army of Dabion, we are considered to have won this battle, but in the overall situation we have lost this war. Unexpectedly, Hela Nugus There is also this trick. Before her general trend was completely offset by me, she seized the opportunity and once again took the upper hand." William sighed helplessly, "At this time, even I have to admit. I lost this round."

  Is there really such a big gap between the seventh and tenth?

  Hearing William's words, Sean couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

"However, we just lost a war. We haven't completely failed in this battle." After William took a deep breath, a drunken red appeared on his face, and his eyes became unusually bright. Get up, "You now find a way to contact Florence immediately and ask him to retreat from Tinci, and temporarily give up the territory.... On the side of Suoan, I will contact Fred personally.... As for Thain, you return immediately. Dai leader, be prepared to take over Florence, your hidden troop may not be able to use it as a surprise soldier."

  Because of agreeing to Hela’s tactics of concealing the sky, Thain naturally wanted to vacate the 5,000 soldiers of his troops first. But it was a pity that he was disbanded in this way. Therefore, under William’s plan, these five thousand people were prepared to be used as marvelous soldiers. However, the current situation of the battle is changing too fast, and obviously there is no way to hide it anymore. It comes in handy immediately.

  A series of orders were quickly ordered by William, without the slightest confusion and panic.

  Even, under the calm and calm command of William and Sean, the panic that had gradually spread was completely calmed down.

   Sean, who has nearly 100,000 troops, can already clearly see the hideous outline of a war beast after it has been fully operational at this time.

  And on the beacon tower of the tallest tower in Void City, wolf smoke has slowly risen. (To be continued.)
