Gold is Justice

Those magic elders and high priests of the Holy See are of course most afraid of that kind of thing. With that kind of thing, they are no longer useful!That's why they opposed the element machine without hesitation, and insisted on annihilating the border provinces!

They must have killed the first emperor, right?What the rebels said is true!Those who claim to have talents are the ones who are most afraid of death and being eliminated by the times!

Philip gritted his teeth. It was only now that he finally felt the pain in his mouth.

Although his heart was full of anger, the horse under his buttocks did not have a saddle, and he was very uncomfortable to sit on. This discomfort also made him suffocate.

But he also knew that it was far from a safe situation.He must escape... as far as possible!

However, at this moment, there was a rush of wheels behind him.

Philip turned his head and saw an ordinary elemental vehicle galloping towards the camp, and the people in the vehicle were clearly holding elemental guns, following the horse's footprints.

Seeing that he could not escape, Philip gritted his teeth, quickly rolled off his horse, pulled a soldier beside him, and shouted at him in a low voice: "You... go up! From now on, you are Earl Philip Kingo!"

The soldier was also frightened, and now he looked very flustered.

Philip, on the other hand, had no time to make the other party hesitate, and immediately took off his hat and cloak and put them on the soldier, threatening him to mount his horse again.

The soldier finally nodded and mounted his horse pale.The other soldiers also looked at it like this, and soon, the element car behind them caught up.

"People in front! Stop! Don't move! Or you'll shoot!"

Philip pulled the horse's rein, teeth chattering, and stopped.

He turned his head slowly, and saw about five mermaid army soldiers holding elemental guns got out of the car and approached cautiously.



-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Get down on the ground! Put your hands on your head!"

Philip didn't say a word, but lay on the ground like other soldiers, holding his head.

Soon, the mermaid soldiers' attention was focused on the pale imperial soldier on the horse.Seeing that he was wearing a well-made hat and a cloak, he immediately shouted: "You! Come down! Squat here! What's your name?!"

The soldier crouched tremblingly on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and then responded, "I...my name...Philip...Jin Guo..."

The soldiers of the mermaid army nodded, with joy on their faces: "Okay, okay, finally caught up! Earl Philip, please follow us obediently! As for the others, if you want to leave, we will also I won't stop you, but if you want to be with your master, then follow along!"

The soldier who called himself Philip was trembling with fright and couldn't say a word, so he was escorted into the car by the mermaid soldiers with his hands behind his back.Seeing that the other soldiers didn't seem to want to follow, the mermaid army snorted, got in the car, turned around, and drove towards Xiehu City.

In the middle of the night of this day, the Marginal Province once again demonstrated a victory that most people could not imagine in the battlefield against the vanguard battalion of the Imperial Army.

You know, no matter how poor the imperial army is, it is the most elite army of the Blue Bay Empire, a powerful army with the best equipment, the most powerful logistics, and the best commander!

But such an army was defeated on the eve of the attack on Xihu City.No matter how elite troops are, they are now as insignificant as ants.

That night, all the [-] troops in the Vanguard Battalion were disbanded and fled without formation.

The west, south, and north directions of the entire barracks were all blocked by the armored element vehicles that rolled over, but I don't know if it was due to time or the insufficient number of armored vehicles. The east direction was not surrounded by the mermaid army.

These defeated soldiers cried and ran towards the only escape route, constantly praising the God of Light for leaving a way of life for them.

It's just that at this moment, they may not have imagined that this way of life was not obtained by their hard work, but was specially released.

And the defeat of the entire imperial army did not end here.On the contrary, it's just a very small start.

On September 1306, 9, the soldiers of the defeated Imperial Army rushed to the front of the Imperial Army behind with news of their defeat.

The collapse of more than 3000 people shocked the generals and soldiers of the former army, and they didn't know what happened.

But just when these scattered soldiers came into contact with the former army and mingled with it, suddenly, they heard the very familiar voice urging them to die again in this clear sky and broad daylight.

"fire star--!!!"

During the day, those defeated vanguards once again saw the nightmarish bolide in the sky.

Although this time, the number of bolides is not as many as before, but only five or six.

But they, who had already become frightened birds, started to flee again. With fear and despair, they rushed towards the rear of the former army in a disorderly manner.

This is equivalent to the fact that the 3000 scattered soldiers dispersed the [-] troops of the former army at once, disrupting the formation of the former army.At the same time, with the panic and frightened shouts made by those soldiers when they fled, the [-] soldiers of the former army couldn't help being shocked!

Next, it was accompanied by the explosion of the fireball in their army.At that moment, like dominoes, the 3000-man army swept the 1-man army, and once again fell into a rout that lost command.

War is like that sometimes.

When you think you have the chance to win, you tend to let your guard down, and you often feel that you don't need to pay attention to certain details.As many as 5 imperial troops attacked the marginal provinces, they experienced the defeat of the Vanguard Battalion in less than half a month. The self-chaotic trampled to death lost almost one-fifth of the troops.

The news of such a defeat will naturally spread, and while the entire imperial army loses face, it will also cause the reputation of the Magic Association and the Holy See to fall to the bottom within the Blue Bay Empire.

No one dared to face the bolide... Similarly, no one had the courage to face the elemental armored vehicle.

Those methods that can attack from beyond the casting distance of magic have far exceeded the control of those magicians. In the following years, when people knew the powerful destructive power that the elemental machine could produce, originally The funds invested in magicians are naturally turned to this more efficient and convenient power.

At that time, if anyone still said that magic should be the most important thing...

I'm afraid that what greeted them was not only ridicule, but also anger and scolding.

"What? The former army was defeated so quickly?!"

The leader of the Chinese army belongs to the offshoot of the Lanwan royal family, and should be regarded as the uncle of Tide Bilan in terms of seniority.

The prince never dreamed that the former army would be defeated so quickly, and even so humiliatingly.

However, now is not the time to pursue responsibility, the most important thing is to find a way to regroup, and then attack the marginal province again!

Following the questioning of the soldiers who had returned from the rout, and the earl of the Jinguo family, after a thorough inquiry, the prince immediately made a plan to disperse the troops, avoid concentration, and then proceed in a detour from various roads , The strategy of hiding in small places and attacking more.

In terms of planning, such an arrangement can indeed avoid being hit by bolides again, and it can also avoid head-to-head encounters with those elemental armored vehicles.

For this, of course, a large number of horses need to be sacrificed. The entire army must use the mountain road as its direction of advancement, turn to the mountains, bypass the side of the Long Sleeping Mountains, and directly attack the heart of the marginal province - Pelican City.

On September 1306, 9, the remaining 20 imperial troops began to march towards the mountain road in multiple ways, trying to bypass the large plains in the marginal province.

However, such a detour will cause the marching time to be extended by almost three times for no reason. If everything goes smoothly to reach Pelican City, it should be November at the earliest...

So, is the marginal provincial capital just sitting there waiting to die?

Obviously, no.

To put it more accurately, the effect that the president of Song of the Mermaid wanted to achieve was precisely this.

Because, when these troops started to walk up the mountain step by step, in addition to the extension of the marching time, it would also lead to another trouble——

Extension of supply lines.

When those imperial troops were marching hard between the criss-crossing mountains, I am afraid they never imagined that behind them, in the two provinces of Tianhong Province and Diliao Province, there was an incident. The most unexpected thing for them - mutiny.

On October 1306, 10, on this seemingly ordinary day, what happened first was Baiquan City, the largest city in Tianhong Province.

The merchants in the city suddenly raised prices and blocked all grain transportation routes leading to the mountains.Whoever doesn't give enough money, even if it's just a piece of grain, don't even think about going up the mountain!

As the first manager of Tianhong Province, Sir Wisconsin Brooke panicked instantly after seeing all the businessmen in the city suddenly raise their prices.The first thing he thought of was to send his soldiers to arrest those merchants who refused to lower their prices, and then kill them all!

However, what the manager probably never thought of was that those merchants had already used the oldest human method to bribe those soldiers.Although the leaders among these soldiers were also very surprised why such a thing happened, when they saw these businessmen who kept giving themselves money and women on weekdays, when they put out a sum of money in front of them again, the soldiers Of course their hearts will also be shaken.

As for how to deal with that jazz?That's so simple, just grab two small traders and go back, kill them in front of that jazz, and then say that it's the busy farming season, and because this year's harvest is much higher than previous years, the order suddenly increased, and all the roads for transporting grain All are raising prices!

Anyway, all the money will fall into his own pocket at that time, and there will be no other pressure on prices for the entire Baiquan City. No matter how much I think this is a bit inappropriate, but looking at those things in front of me Gold, silver and jewelry, after all, did not continue to persist.

City after city.One village, one village after another.

This is not only the case in Tianhong Province, but also in Diliao Province.

The merchants began to raise prices collectively, and used various methods to cut off almost [-]% of the grain transportation channels leading to the mountain.

Every lord in these cities feels that even if the grain road on his side is broken, there are other grain roads, so why worry?Therefore, there was no big reaction.

Then, everyone is patiently waiting for the good news from the Imperial Army, and they all feel that this year will be a good harvest year, and they can spend another holy night festival in peace and stability.

then……

November 1306, 11, rain.

"Are you all ready?"

About five kilometers away from Baiquan City, Jelly turned her head and looked at the elemental armored vehicle troops behind her.The soldiers of the Mermaid Army all had solemn faces and firm eyes.Although the number of armored vehicles here is only ten, and the number of elemental cannons is only three.

But these soldiers all looked death-like, without any expression of wanting to escape or timidity.

At that moment, Jelly took a deep breath, raised her left hand, and placed it on her chest.

He closed his eyes, nodded silently, and said again——

"Now, let me repeat what I said before. After entering the city, go straight to the Viscount's mansion and arrest the nobleman. If anyone resists, shoot him. But if someone is willing to surrender, you must not shoot the prisoner .”

"The land seized by those lords will be distributed to those peasants. We will never occupy those lands. Only in this way can we win this war without too many people. You understand Yet?"

"Yes! Understood!"

Looking at the eyes of these soldiers and listening to their firm answers, Gel knew that he could absolutely trust these soldiers in the next battlefield.

They were also born in poverty, and some of them were still slaves, so they had already seen the cruelty of the lords and nobles.Now they are asked to kill those lords and nobles, of course they can't wait!

Immediately afterwards, with the sound of the elemental cannon, the huge fireball directly blasted the gate of Baiquan City, and Jelly immediately jumped onto the roof of an elemental car, shouting loudly——

"set off!"

In an instant, the elemental armored vehicle started, and rushed towards the city gate in front of it!

But when this army arrived at the gate of the city, there were already a large number of merchants leading the peasants to pull away the broken bricks and tiles of the city wall, and at the same time greeted them loudly, guiding them to the mansion of the noble lord.

As for the guards?

Ah, there are indeed some defenders.

It's just that the elemental guns held by the defenders look like toys in front of the elemental armored vehicles.

What's more, when he rushed into the city gate, Jelly was only leading a mermaid army of no more than two hundred soldiers and ten armored vehicles.

But when he stood in the armored vehicle and rushed to the noble mansion, thousands of merchants and farmers followed behind him!This mighty team arrived at the noble mansion almost without encountering any obstacles. As soon as the elemental guns on the armored vehicle rang out, the iron gate of the mansion opened in response. The guards watched such a huge creature break in. I was so frightened that my liver and gallbladder were torn apart, how could I have any thoughts of rebellion?

At two o'clock in the morning, the third mermaid army led by jelly took the largest city in Tianhong Province, Baiquan City, by surprise attack, dragged the sleeping lord from the bed, and dragged him to the square in the center of the city superior.

When everyone in the city looked at this aristocratic and noble lord who usually looked unattainable and full of luxury, now he was naked, not even wearing a pair of underwear, and was tied up and kneeling naked like that. In front of everyone, even those who fear and admire these nobles will instantly flatter them.

Next, jelly only needs to shout twice, move the box used to store the land deeds in this nobleman's house, burn it in front of everyone and announce that all the land will be returned to everyone, and when the distribution is made according to the population, no matter how willing you are to follow The people of the noble lord were all cheering one-sidedly now, and began to step forward to scold the nobleman, and some even slapped his fat face with the soles of their shoes to relieve the hatred in their hearts.

This is true in Baiquan City, and it is also true in Tianhong Province, and Diliao Province is no exception.

In just three months, the imperial army originally launched this seemingly sweeping annihilation war against the marginal provinces, but at this time when November was coming to an end, instead, people on the entire Golden Continent were about to lose sight of it. understand the situation.
