After Becoming The Tyrant - Chapter 168
The remnant army retreated, and the battle of Newtown ended with the victory of Legrand.
In this battle, the military power of the old aristocracy of Blaise suffered a devastating blow. On the main battlefield, tens of thousands of Blaise Knights died, and their bodies went from the low-lying pile in front of the high slope to the nearby ROLLMAN river. On the day of the battle, people in the lower reaches of the Roman River saw the water turn into the color of wine.
Later, it was also called “Blood River”.
The brassie army led by the Duke of West was almost wiped out, while the flanking army led by Prince mallorin was equally fatally hit when they tried to pass through the angle between the forest and the sloping highland along the ROLLMAN Creek. The king’s Musketeers and “blood rose” bronze cannons there taught them a lesson. The battle between the two places is no less bloody than the front battlefield.
Prince mallorin’s army was bombarded by artillery in the narrow terrain, and the reaction was worse than that of the original eternal knights. The cavalry were crowded in one place, one by one just trying to escape, and no one wanted to form a defensive circle. The infantry, traditionally placed on the flank of the cavalry for protection, are trampled by their own knights. Afterwards, when the military designers searched the battlefield, they found that the number of people who died in the chaos even exceeded the number who died under the artillery fire.
This is the battle with the largest number of casualties on the frontal battlefield since the beginning of the war.
In the past wars, the nobles of the enemy were not killed directly, but followed the rules of knights, and the prisoners were released after receiving ransom. However, in this battle, the lives of the noble knights and the lives of the civilian soldiers lost the difference, and the Empire of Legrand showed all the anger accumulated since the beginning of the war.
The corpses of the aggressors piled up like mountains and became depressions of blood mud swamp, becoming a new “dead man’s land”.
After the victory of the battle, the king left a follow-up army to clean up the battlefield to prevent the plague, and then quickly returned to defend Jolin county.
“I wonder about one thing, your majesty.”
The housekeeper followed the king.
“The Duke of West doesn’t look like someone who has the guts to fight an angel.”
In the just concluded battle, the reason why the war between the king and the devil ended so quickly was that the betrayal arrow of Duke West played a certain role. However, Duke West’s betrayal, in the eyes of people who know it, must be
tricky – he has no reason to attack angels.
“Because angels should not be defeated.”
The king replied, with deep meaning.
The housekeeper thought for a while and suddenly realized.
In the doctrine of the Holy See, the victory of war is decided by the Lord. [1] As the beloved angels of the Lord, once they appear on the battlefield, they are the symbol of victory. If the angel falls in the war, then for the doctrine, it is a heavy blow!
In addition, the holy army movement, in the name of the Holy Lord, purged the heretic Legrand. The holy army takes faith as its banner, and the presence of angels on the battlefield means that their actions are indeed just, but What if angels fall? It will be a heavy blow to the faith of the holy army.
Because it tells them they are not blessed!
If the fall of the angel and the failure of the war are due to the betrayal of the Duke of West, then things will be very different. You know, the core of the doctrine of the holy see is the “theory of original sin” of mortals. Life is sinful, and the angel who saved the holy army died because of the betrayal of the holy army. This will not only not shake the faith of the holy army, but also stimulate the believers’ psychology of atonement.
“It is because you know this that you choose to let the spirit take part in the war?”
The housekeeper found his voice a little hoarse.
“How can we fight against the belief in God?” The king seemed to be asking himself, “we are the only ones who can fight against faith.”
At the end of the battle, the devil quickly returned to hell – don’t forget, at this time the hell is still fighting with the angel Legion. And that group of soul Knights also disappeared together, but they really left something very important for the current situation.
In this era, the only thing that can compete with the belief of the holy see is the spirit of all the Legrand people. They created the Empire of Legrand. They are the origin of all Legrand’s history. Their appearance on the battlefield to fight against the angels for Legrand shows that they are not wrong.
Human beings, small and humble, are like ants.
But human beings are enough to compete with gods!
“West old.”
The king turned and looked in the direction of Newtown.
Who has the power to turn away from angels? There’s only one person, one who’s the last person to do that.
Holy Empire, emperor, Pope.
West old.
“There will be times when God’s agent wants to ascend the throne with the help of the light of the gods.”
The king whispered that he drove the horse forward, and the wind swept his cloak, scarlet as blood.
Although we haven’t met yet, the battle has begun.The king’s voice was faint, but the housekeeper felt a chill rush up his back.
It’s hard to describe that feeling. No moment can make him see the scariest and craziest side of the war more clearly than at this time –
angels, God, hell In this war, we are reduced to
Chessman!
………………
The autumn of 1433 was destined to be extremely turbulent. In the late autumn, Legrand was trapped in one vortex after another.
In the city of Duro, the king of Legrand led his army to fight against Blaise’s army. In the battle, the pioneers of Legrand, the bravest knights, appeared on the earth and fought side by side with the warriors of Legrand. The final battle ended with a grand victory for Legrand.
For the people of Legrand, it was a victory that inspired the morale of the whole country.
But for the holy army, it means something else –
in the battle of Duro, angels appeared on the battlefield, which proved that the holy army movement was indeed blessed, as the holy court claimed. However, the prince of West, a blasphemous man, betrayed the holy army and defeated the battle. The angel betrayed by the brescians falls into the hand of the devil.
It’s like the well-known story in the holy book.
The son who wanted to save the world at the beginning was finally abandoned by the world and crucified. Since then, ordinary people have been carrying the original sin since they were born. The story of the holy book repeats today. The fall of the angel has become the common sin of all the soldiers who participated in the war of betrayal and all the brescians.
If you want to make atonement, you have to fight for the Lord and wash the sin of immorality with the blood of heresy.
Pope theold spoke publicly to all holy army fighters.
At this time, west old’s prestige was unprecedented high. On the way to attack Newtown, he showed the miracles given by the Lord and changed the wind direction that hindered the soldiers’ advance. The battle was surprisingly smooth and swift. Despite the heroic resistance of the rogrand soldiers, the city of newt was quickly defeated in front of the forces of the Templars and the holy army fanatics.
After the attack on Newtown, west old, to everyone’s surprise, did not stay in Newtown for a rest. Instead, he personally led the Templars to march forward and launched a surprise attack on Collin County in the West. With the main force of Legrand stationed in Jolin County, another city was soon gained.
Throughout the campaign, Pope theord personally came to the front line and showed his amazing military command ability. The officers who had originally complained about him had to bow to him.
In the holy army, a saying spread quickly:
Pope theold is the incarnation of the Lord in the world, and his will is the will of the Lord, which is why he was able to win miraculously over and over again. Through him, the gods will build up a real human kingdom.
“Our food route has been cut off, your majesty.”
Sissian report.
The Pope stood on the tower of collinshire, looking into the distance. Colin county has a very special geographical location. Along the north side, it can attack the Rose Palace, and to the East, it can attack Jolin County, where the Royal Army of Legrand is located. If according to the Pope’s original plan, after seizing Collin County, he will take advantage of the emptiness of the forces in the royal city of Legrand to attack the rosary palace.
The reason why the Duke of West was allowed to lead the army dominated by Blaise nobles to break away from control and attack Duro was to hide this real intention.
But the plan was interrupted.
King rogrand, purland guessed his real purpose.
“You are right.” Sissian had to admit, “purland, is a very terrible opponent.”
The Knights Templars were advancing, and King rogrand did not support Newtown and Collins, blocking their steps. But he took a more cunning and effective approach. When the Templars attacked the city of newt, another army of Legrand, under the command of the king, led by General John, went around behind them.
The other side was very patient. After they captured Newtown and entered Collins County, they were in trouble and cut off their grain transportation route.
If roglan cut off the grain route when they captured the city of newt, then with the strength of the holy army, he could quickly turn around and in turn unite with the Mason family to attack back and forth and strangle this roglan army. However, the other side just put up with it until they had captured Colin county.
By this time, the Templars had gone deep into the middle of Legrand, with their main force stationed in Colin. If they want to reopen the grain line, they have to pull out of Colin. But Colin is such an important city, once captured, it can not give up in any case.
Attack Wangdu, supply can not keep up, doomed to failure. If you want to turn around and grab the line, you have to withdraw from Colin county.
In this way, the king of Legrand solved the danger of the royal city and pushed them into a dilemma.
Fierce, cunning.
It’s like a combination of a lion and a viper.
“Your Majesty, what are we going to do next?”
Asked sissian in a low voice.West old looks to the direction of the Royal Army of rogrand in Jolin: “let the holy army of the sea go north and join us. And then Wait. ”
What are you waiting for?
He didn’t say.
Theold turned and walked under the tower. The wind poured into the tower and made his robe rustle.
………………
On the other side of the Strait of the abyss, the northern part of the holy Empire, west old asked the sea holy army to go north.
At the end of autumn, the weather has begun to turn cold near the north.
After being forced to enter the Arctic ice sheet, Ferri III, who has disappeared from people’s view, stands on a mountain. A crow swept down from the sky. He reached for the crow and took the letter it had brought.
At the end of the letter was the autograph of the emperor.
“He did.”
Ferri III lamented that he had been wearing a thick cloak in autumn, and his face was pale and cold. It makes him look particularly odd. Ferri III looked up at the sky.
“Battle of Duro, what a battle of Duro.”
He burst into a smile.
I hope that the man on the other side of the abyss can succeed.
After all, there are only two people in the world who can decide the direction of history today, and those two people who are qualified to be called real emperors today.
“Come on, we’ve been late for a long time. It’s time to join the battlefield.”
Ferri III said that he received the letter and took the knight who followed him to the tomb to the bottom of the mountain. Behind them was an army whose face was hidden under a silver hood. There was a chill in the ranks, from Ferri III to the soldiers.
Their goal –
is to recover the harbor, set off an uprising in the holy Empire and rebuild Brasi!
………………
1433, the world of great controversy.
Pullland, the king of Legrand, won the battle of Duro, and theold, the king of the holy Empire, won the battles of newt and collinshire. The West Ordovician soldiers refer to the heart of the Legrand Empire, and purland’s sword cuts the lifeline of the holy army. Each side has its own gains and losses, and each is facing a crisis. The war situation is changing rapidly.
In this battle, the two most outstanding kings of this era finally face to face, they drive the whole world in the whirlpool of death. This is an unprecedented war, although the afterglow of the gods is still shrouded in the earth, but they are no longer the protagonist.
Later historians regarded this battle as the dividing point between the age of gods and the age of mortals.
Because, starting from here –
the two kings fight and take God as the chess.
