king of ten acres, three

king of ten acres, three

The king ordered again, saying: "This information must not be spread to the outside world. This is probably the enemy's conspiracy. He wants to use false surrender to make us underestimate the enemy."

"How is it possible..." the butler covered his mouth immediately after speaking, "Yes, you are right!" He changed his words.

If it hadn't been used by no one, I'd hang you right now. "Go, get me some hot milk." The king waved his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Immediately, Cade came to the study to work. In the morning, he handled some affairs of the castle. In the afternoon, he received another good news.This one is exactly the same as that in the morning. It is said that the uncle of the lord of West Acropolis led his troops to raid the flank of the little trident, and then defeated and captured Yunyun.The king tore up the letter at one glance.

On the third day, good news came like snowflakes.From the Mid Valley to the Northwest Mountains, nobles everywhere are saying: I have defeated the Little Trident!Your Majesty, hurry up and reward me!

These bastards, are they collectively claiming credit?The king was so angry that he could only laugh.It's not uncommon to exaggerate your credit and add some water, but you have to have a foundation, you have to kill a few people with the little trident at least before you come to ask me for credit.

In the morning, a few small trident soldiers were killed in the northwest, and the prairie paid the food and grass at noon, and before the afternoon arrived, another team of scouts was arrested in the valley.In this way, the Little Trident is estimated to have an army of 100 million!Yes, millions of troops are dotted all over my land!His people are everywhere.

"Fuck you." The king slammed his head on the table, "I don't want to play with them anymore, I'd better go back to Tianhu."

He brewed his feelings on the table for a while, but finally gave up - if I went to have fun, wouldn't it be all over?no!I can't go either!

He got up from the table and set up the sand table again to check the calculation - it's okay, they can do whatever they want, as long as the two guards don't have any accidents.

Even if these good news are fake now, as long as they are consumed, sooner or later they will become real.Little Trident has already fallen into the center of the vortex of war, and time will gradually eat him away.

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside. "Cade, His Majesty Cade!" the man called him.

Hearing the voice was one of his relatives, Cade recalled the name and said, "Uncle Shi En, come in!"

It was his uncle, Sean Haworth.

Blood relatives are the only people Cade can trust, so they can come and go from the king's study at will.Shi En is a strong middle-aged man. He has a bald forehead and big eyes. He usually speaks little, and always acts more than words.

Shi En saluted, and immediately said to him: "Your Majesty Cade, there are people spreading rumors in the city, we caught one, and one ran away."

The king's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "What rumors are you spreading?"

Shi En replied: "They first slandered the old Duke of Bean, saying that he was old and useless, and was cut off by the little trident as soon as he went into battle. They also said that the old Duke couldn't hold a gun or ride a horse. They said Little Trident is lucky to win big battles. Another person said that Hassan Heron lost because he took money from the nobles of the Reach, and the Grand Knights have been bought. Everything is a lie, Little Trident The Halberd isn't scary at all, and he probably doesn't even exist. It's a lie made up by the nobles to trick the common people into paying the war tax."

"Hang him to death!" The little king jumped at the case, "The whole city will search for this kind of guy, and anyone who spreads rumors will be sentenced to death!"

You can't be wrong, this is Lan Zuo's trick!The little king was panting heavily.They stigmatized Hassan Heron and Bean Lastall so that the victory for the junior trident seemed trivial.The result of this is to make the stupid and greedy nobles continue to swell, making them swell to the point that they think that any child can kill the little trident.

The worst result is...

"Broken!" Cade screamed, and his uncle Shi En's eyes widened in horror.Shi En asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"Hurry up and send imperial envoys to the Northern Shuangwei, and give my order to tell the guards of the Northern Shuangwei to lock the city gates! No one is allowed to leave without my order! If the guards dare to leave the city for half a step, we will deal with him according to the military law!"

Shi En also realized the seriousness of the problem, "I'll do it right away!" He said loudly.Immediately, he turned around and ran towards the gate. At this time, another person walked in, and that person shouted: "Your Majesty Cade, a letter from the Eastern Acropolis!"

The new one was Cade's other uncle, Prince Bigge of Castle Black.The man was wearing a majestic battle robe. Holding the letter, he said excitedly: "Your Majesty! The morale of the frontline fighters in the Shuangwei City is high, and they are asking you to fight!"

"Fucking fight?" The little king yelled like crazy, "Let them all jump into the sea to calm down! Without my order, no one should go out of the city to fight the little trident!"

"They didn't say they wanted to fight the little trident, they said they wanted to fight the descendants of the Sea God! Your Majesty, you can see for yourself."

Cade was so angry that his eyes were dizzy, he took the letter and read it all at once.The gist of the letter is as follows: The rebels of the descendants of the Sea God set out from Lujiao Pass and invaded our Eastern Acropolis in the north.However, the Klaus family and the Flowers family in the south have formed an invincible coalition force and are supporting us.If the East Acropolis took the initiative to attack at this moment, it would be able to echo back and forth with Duke Klaus, forming a wonderful flanking situation.In this way, the descendants of the Sea God would have nowhere to retreat, and the Double Acropolis would be able to defend against the enemy outside the city walls.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the military aircraft cannot be delayed. Before His Majesty's will, the East Guard City has already dispatched troops.

I swear on the honor of my family: East Acropolis will definitely win within three days, a quick battle, and I will face the Little Trident later.

I also hope that Your Majesty will be magnanimous and understand the difficulties of the frontline soldiers.

The little king laughed when he read the letter—you still want me to understand you?Ok, I understand your difficulty.

In the future, you'd better let Little Trident understand.

Now I can only pray that the Claus family can turn the tide!If the East Acropolis and Klaus' coalition forces can quickly defeat the descendants of the Sea God, their main force in the East Acropolis will have time to rush back to the city to defend the Little Trident.If the delay exceeds three days, the main force of the Eastern Acropolis without the protection of the castle will be torn to pieces by the violent Overlord!At that time, there will be a chain reaction. If the east guard city is broken, the defense of the northern guards will be greatly reduced. At that time, it will only be a matter of time before the west guard city is broken.

Afterwards, the descendants of the Sea God and the Little Trident will be able to gain a firm foothold relying on the geographical advantages of the northern guards, and the war will be further dragged into the quagmire.

In the 300 years of the Northern Territory, the Northern Shuangwei has not fallen. Once the Shuangwei falls, it indicates that the fate of the Northern Territory has come to an end.

At that time, scavengers will come smelling the smell, and they will never let go of this huge corpse in the north!The West, the South, my own duke, and even wildlings, orcs, subterraneans, and titans, they will tear the North to shreds!

"I want to go to Tianhu Lake to rest for a while." The little king threw the letter in his hand on the ground, "If I don't come out, no one should come looking for me."

Shi En asked him: "What about the city?"

"Who cares whoever loves!"

Chapter 8: Shadow of War, I

Chapter 8: Shadow of War, I

The caravan decided to stay here for a few more days.Jon and the others found that it was very profitable to do business with the orcs. The goods in the swamp were scarce, and they could be sold at a good price if they were transported to the south.

And what the orcs need, they have a lot in their convoy.What weapons, armor, and human potions, maps, bows and arrows, etc.Especially for metal cooking utensils such as iron pans, orcs are not good at smelting steel, so metal supplies must be purchased from outside.When the caravan discovered this business opportunity, they sold all the iron products at high prices, even the pots they used for cooking.Clark grinned from ear to ear all day.

Isrit also promised them that they would send someone to help them get out of the swamp maze.Knowing this, the captain Eight Fingers Jon immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Isrit, and made a good obeisance in front of the statue of the Spirit of the Earth Mother.

Due to the postponement of the caravan's departure, Hyacinth's search for the dragon was temporarily put on hold.

Hyacinth has been living with Yisruite for the past few days, and Yisruite told her everything about this past year.From going out to study abroad, to entering the academic school, to becoming the spirit of the Earth Mother...

Hyacinth felt that the story of Estherite was very legendary, but what shocked her even more was another person in the story.

"Sister, are you sure that person is Fasnat?" she asked, "He...has lost both arms."

"I didn't believe it at first, but then he explained it all to me... It's hard to say, really hard to say, sister."

"In other words, everyone is fine, right?"

"Well, everything is fine. He must be, and he must be alive." After saying this, Isrit hugged Hyacinth.

Having been following the war in the north, this "mother" likes to watch videos of pigeons while soaking in hot springs.Hyacinth usually eats and drinks with her, and her life is very comfortable.

Two more pigeons came back this afternoon.Isrit and Hyacinth hurried to watch the video of Fama's crystal ball.The picture shows the Eastern Acropolis of the Northern Shuangwei.

"It really made me guess." When Essraet said this, her expression was very subtle, "Sister, let me tell you, I found that I can't guess good things, but I can guess bad things accurately. Look, Dong Wei The lord in the city has already run out to meet the descendants of the Sea God."

In the picture of the hot springs, the gates of the Eastern Acropolis are wide open, the cavalry are driving out of the city, and the civilians in the city are walking on the streets, on the walls, and on the roofs, cheering and saying goodbye to these heroes.

The leading knight was dressed beautifully. He had a silver fringed headband, a soft cloak, and a flashy hollowed-out silver armor.He had a handsome face, shiny hair, a soft beard, and beautiful blue eyes.He waved to people outside as he rode.This time the pigeons were flying very low, so the cheers of the people could be heard.People called him "Silver Knight".Girls screamed with excitement and threw flower petals, handkerchiefs and incense powder at him.

"This guy didn't go to war, he went to a beauty pageant." Islet laughed disdainfully, "With this kind of sissy, I can kill ten of my children with one punch."

Hyacinth also agreed, she said: "Yes, the orcs are powerful. Yesterday Balut wrestled with the orcs, and was thrown far away by a big man."

"Oh, you mean that strong man?" Estherite giggled, "He's pretty amazing! The person who defeated him was Hammond, the number one strongman under my command. Not to mention him, it's just a bull. Mond can also be brought down easily."

Hyacinth laughed and said, "Then I have to tell him about it. Barut has been depressed recently and can't eat."

Isrit quickly replayed the screen, and the marching screen played quickly. Soon, the perspective shifted to high altitude, looking down from the perspective of a pigeon, and saw two armies meeting in a valley.The army that the Silver Flower Knight encountered was the descendants of the sea god with fierce demons.

The trumpets sounded loudly, and the war drums shook the sky.

The pigeon was frightened by the sound and flew higher.The screen shrank again, and the knights and infantry turned into small dots.The war on the ground turned into an ant fight.

The blue ants and the silver ants mixed together, and the strip army immediately spread out to both sides. The knights swooped down with the help of the hillsides on both sides, and the horses galloped wildly, unstoppable.But at the same time, the descendants of the sea god released the fierce demon.

Immediately afterwards, the situation turned to one side.

Through the picture of the Fama crystal, Hyacinth could feel the smell of blood on the battlefield.The knights were torn to pieces one after another, and the horses were frightened and began to run around in a panic.It was too late for the Silver Flower Knight to retreat, and the fierce demon charged no slower than the knights.

Estherite said: "I saw ten different types of ogres, about two hundred of them, I hope this is the full power of the descendants of the sea god."

Looking at it from this angle, the largest ogre is as big as four soldiers combined. Hyacinth couldn't see its appearance clearly, and felt that this guy rushed into the crowd like a boulder rolling down a cliff during a landslide. Its people will be knocked into the air and crushed immediately.

"Oh, my God." Isrit was stunned, "It's a massacre."

Hyacinth swallowed, watching the knights fall one by one, the valley was stained blood red.At this moment, human life has become a cold number.The hot spring made her dizzy, and with this terrible scene, she suddenly felt nauseous.

In the past, Hyacinth might choose to leave, she would escape.But this time she clenched her fists and continued to watch, resisting the discomfort in her heart, because she believed that she would also be on the battlefield in the near future.

She must be familiar with these things. She is the wife of the earl and the sister of the spirit of the earth mother. She can no longer be a little girl who can only sing and dance.

After the initial confusion, the Silver Flower Knight began to try to retreat. He left the infantry behind, and then the rear team changed to the front team, fleeing towards the way they came.

The descendants of the sea gods are mostly infantry, and they can't catch up if they really want to run.Although some ferocious demons can chase them, they are a minority after all. If a few ferocious demons catch up, it will not be of much use.After the gecko cut off its tail, the Silver Flower Knight escaped from the valley. They marched all the way to the exit of the valley.

The pigeon's perspective followed them.The valley road is long, even for cavalry, it will take a day to run back to the exit.By the time they reached the exit, it was already dawn the next day.Estelle fast-forwarded to the screen, looking directly at the exit of the valley.

"Oh? Interesting!" Isrit laughed when she saw the picture, then she waved to the monkey in the hot spring and said, "Bather, bring me a pot of wine. Cook another quail egg, one Crab meat balls, put more chili and pepper." Hyacinth followed suit and shouted: "I want it too! But I want sweet ones!"

After ordering the meal, Hyacinth looked at the picture, and after seeing it, she also said in surprise: "What is this?"

Shadow of War, II

Shadow of War, II

In that picture, the exit of the valley is already covered with fortifications of the northerners.Wooden thorn walls, horse repellents, traps, catapults, crypt traps, ravines... fortifications block the entrance.There are also archers ambushing on the rocks on both sides. There are large rolling stones next to the archers, and a group of muscular warriors stand next to them.

The Silver Flower Knights stopped here to reorganize their army. The knights dismounted one after another, took shields, spears and crossbows, and prepared to defend against the enemy's attack.

Hyacinth asked: "What are they doing? Don't they want to fight the descendants of the Sea God?"

Isrit shook her head and said, "This is the Silver Flower Knight's tactic."

The shochu came first, and the spirit of the Earth Mother had a drink, and then said: "It was just a feint."

"Feint?" Hyacinth couldn't understand the word.

"It's not a real attack, it's just a trick to lure the enemy deep." Isrit said with a smile, "He left a way out for himself, and he set up defenses at the exit of the valley in advance. Just now he went to make a tentative attack , If you can’t fight, use the mobility of the cavalry to quickly retreat. If the enemy chases out of the valley, they will be severely injured by bows and arrows, rolling stones, needles and traps.”

Hyacinth seemed to understand, she asked: "Then the enemy can't go back the same way?"

Yisruite replied: "Of course! But if they want to get out of the valley, I'm afraid they need to walk for several days, and if their front team changes to the rear team and retreats, they will encounter two problems: first, the most vulnerable rear The supply troops will be exposed to the enemy. If the Silver Flower Knights kill the carbine, the descendants of the Sea God will suffer heavy losses. Secondly, they have to retreat after winning the battle, which is also a blow to morale. The descendants of the Sea God are all skirmishers, Militiamen, religious believers and mercenaries, their discipline is loose, their morale comes and goes quickly, if I were a general, then I would try to simplify the order as much as possible, I can walk straight, and never make a detour. If I can make a detour, don’t Turn back!"

War is so hard, Hyacinth thought, where did she learn it?Does the academic school also have a military academy?

"But," Hyacinth discovered a suspicious point, "Why was the Silver Flower Knight able to retreat calmly just now?"

"Because the Silver Flower Knight didn't bring any luggage at all, my good sister." Estelle looked at her, there was no ridicule in her eyes, only love and pity.But even so, Hyacinth felt like a fool.

"Oh." She nodded, and went to eat hot spring eggs.Unexpectedly, the egg was too hot, and she spit it out as soon as she touched it.Estelle glanced at her, hesitated to speak.

What a shame, Hyacinth thought to himself.

Estelle fast-forwarded the screen, the sun and the moon alternated, and the time passed by one day.On the second day, the descendants of the Sea God did not pass through the valley, let alone forcibly attack the fortifications at the exit.

Hyacinth thought to himself: It seems that the northerners have miscalculated, and the enemy has not taken the bait.

She wanted to say this at first, but after thinking about it, she might make a mistake again, so she restrained herself from saying it.

At this time, Isrit said: "The plan of the northerners has succeeded. The descendants of the Sea God are trapped in the valley, and they dare not move forward or retreat." Hearing this, Hyacinth was sincerely glad that he did not talk much.

Yisruite picked up a hot spring egg, let it dry for a while, and then put it into the hot sauce. "I see that although Silver Flower Knight has been sending out scouts, the troops are still standing still. If he finds that the descendant of the sea god turns around and retreats, he will definitely send someone to harass the tail of the descendant of the sea god—that is, the luggage. Since he doesn't do this, it means that the descendant of the sea god No retreat, but no advance either. Perhaps camped in the middle of the valley."

Hyacinth asked: "Could it be that they have been wasting like this?"

"The descendants of the sea god can't afford it. On the one hand, the vicious demon eats too much, and the supplies can't keep up. Second, if the delay continues, the Zhonggu coalition forces of Klaus and Florus will come." Isrit put the hot spring After eating the eggs, he took another sip of shochu, "When the reinforcements arrive, block the entrance, and the descendants of the Sea God will be imprisoned in this valley... Oh, looking at it this way, the northerners have a big appetite!" Yi Srit was amazed, but Hyacinth didn't even understand the reason for her amazement.

"Silver Flower Knight and Duke Klaus, they want to wipe out the enemy! They are really brave. They want to make a time difference before the little trident arrives at the Eastern Acropolis, wipe out the descendants of the Sea God outside the city, and then go back to defend the East." Acropolis. In this way, the East Acropolis will not be attacked from the front or back, and the passive becomes active. This tactic is very bold, but if it succeeds, it will definitely be recorded in the annals of history! This is a clever strategy, whether it is the Silver Flower Knight or Klaus Duke, they are not simple."

Yisruite pointed to the valley and said: "The Silver Flower Knights of the East Guard City dared to attack because of the location of this valley. Only here can we completely wipe out the descendants of the Sea God!" She nodded, " We all underestimate this guy, sister. It must be reasonable for the soldiers in the north to unify the four principalities."

Hyacinth asked: "What about the ogres? Can they beat the ogres?"

"There are at most three to five hundred ferocious demons, while the Guanggu Army of the North has [-]. As long as the enemy's morale can be broken, the army will collapse. The ferocious demons who have lost their command are a group of brainless beasts. Five hundred beasts That’s all, if someone buries him, he will be buried dead.”

Hyacinth followed her example and ate a hot spring egg, then said, "If you put it this way...the descendants of the Sea God are doomed."

Isrit shook her head and said: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, if I can use my mouth to determine victory or defeat, then I will become a military god like Hassan Heron." Speaking of this name, she smiled wryly, "Hassan Heron really died unjustly. His military talent was not brought into play at all. He was killed. Half of the books I read were written by him, and the remaining half quoted his famous quotes. Once this man died, the northern border was equivalent to Broke an arm."

Hyacinth asked: "Is it so powerful? But I heard that the little trident didn't have much trouble beating him."
