Chapter 1573 1559. Arms Dealer
For the Bena Legion, the Moyunling Highland is like a scar carved on the apex of the heart, which has become an indelible mark in memory.
In order to attack Moyunling for the first time, the Bena Legion not only established a forest camp at the southern edge of the Ganda Er Mountains, but also built a road for heavy cavalry between the forest camp and Moyunling. There were more than 10,000 cavalry in the Battle of Yunling, including two Constructed Knights and tens of thousands of Heavy Armored Infantry.
At the beginning of the Battle of Moyunling, the heavy cavalry regiment once severely damaged the Moyunling Evil Army in the open land on the gentle **** at the foot of Moyunling.
It’s just that the commander of the Battle of Moyunling at that time had some blind faith in the combat power of the heavy cavalry, so that after the heavy cavalry entered the mountainous area, they were dumped by the ghost army in the valley halfway up the mountain, and the ballista regiment behind and The Catapults were all defeated.
The army of evil spirits chased along the large meadow to the north bank of the Bruin River.
So far, the Battle of Moyunling has been declared a failure.
Duke Newman learned the lesson of the first attack on Moyunling for the second time. He gathered nearly 200,000 heavy armored infantry in the forest camp, trying to use the infantry regiment and the construction swordsman regiment to gain the initiative in mountain warfare.
It's a pity that there were so many evil ghost generals in the evil ghost army at that time, and the constructed swordsman regiment could not take advantage of the mountain warfare. The heavy armored infantry regiment that entered Moyunling also suffered heavy losses, and was forced to retreat to the forest camp in the end. .
In order to resist the evil ghost army on Moyunling, nearly half of the main army of the Bena Army was pinned down in the northern part of Handanal County.
If Duke Ryan Busman hadn’t died of illness, I’m afraid that Duke Newman would still be undecided to mobilize reinforcements from the east and the west from the province of Bena, and then reach a Warsaw Plane Development Alliance with the cavalry alliance in the western province.
So far, the Bena Legion has occupied two counties in the Warsaw plane. (Counties Handanal, Kornberg)
The territory of these two counties is almost larger than that of Bena Province, and the Bena Army has made a lot of money this time.
In addition, the lords in the Bena Legion also participated in the Battle of the Kempato River. At present, the evil spirit army in the Kempato River Basin can be regarded as the largest army of evil spirits in the entire Warsaw plane, not only the Knights Alliance and the Lord Bena The army participated in this battle, and some other lord armies also joined it, but their strength was relatively average, and they had no sense of presence in the Battle of the Kempato River.
This time, Suldak led the West Route Army not only to open the gate of the Moyunling Highland, but also formed a line of defense on the Moyunling Highland, trapping the evil ghost army completely in the North Sunderland Mountains.
This incident has spread among various lord circles in the Warsaw plane, and Lord Suldak has also become a topic of conversation among many nobles.
Suldak planned to go home and visit relatives as low-key as possible this time. He didn't even plan to leave Moyun Ridge and return directly to Hailansa City through the Void Gate.
But actually he couldn't do that.
He not only needs to attend some gatherings held by local noble lords in Handanal City, Epsom City, Evelson City, and the imperial capital along the way, but also preach some facts about the battle of Moyunling at the gatherings. Brilliant moment.
The noble lords behaved very cowardly in the face of evil spirits, but they most liked to talk about the heroic deeds of a certain legion commander at a party.
To them, Suldak, the young commander of the West Route Army, is a paladin who can create miraculous battles.
…
No. 18, Rhine Road, Handanar City.
The mansion of Peggy Bivis Marquis was brightly lit.
A ball is being held in this four-story square building, and many noble lords in Handanar City have been invited.
Suldak originally planned to refuse, but the carriage of Marquis Peggy Bivis's mansion followed behind them from the moment he entered the city of Handanal, and the housekeeper even helped him contact the people at the airport terminal. The magic airship delayed the schedule of the magic airship's departure from Handanal City by one day.
It was with the help of Marquis Peggy Bivis that Suldak was able to successfully board this magic airship.
Otherwise, the next departure date of the magic airship will be nine days later.
For Suldak, this is the starting point of the journey, and it cannot be delayed so casually for so many days. Since Peggy Bivis Marquis has handed over an olive branch, Suldak must express it in a timely manner. Show kindness.
Some things are like this, once you join a certain circle, you will become involuntary.
This time when Suldak came to Handanar City, many noble lords who participated in the reinforcements of Handanar City watched with cold eyes, and even secretly showed some hostility.
Although no nobles took responsibility for Suldak in public, in some private gatherings, many nobles expressed great dissatisfaction with Lord Suldak.
The Marquis of Peggy Bivis had remained neutral until then, and the lord army under his command did not join the reinforcements of Handanal City.
Now representing the neutral faction in Handanar City to host a banquet for Suldak, it can be regarded as showing the attitude of another group of nobles in Handanar City to the commander of the West Route Army.
The West Route Army is guarding the Gandaer Mountains, which is regarded as guarding the northern gate of Handanal County.
For the lords of Handanar County, Suldak's mood is like the color of the sky on the meadow. When he is in a good mood, the meadow is sunny. If someone angers Sulda Lord Ke, then the residents of the Great Meadow will be the first to suffer, no matter nobles or commoners...
The Bivis family owns tens of thousands of hectares of grassland on the big meadow, where cattle and sheep flock.
The Marquis of Bivis has many properties in Handanal City, including a part of the shares in the airport terminal, so he has a certain right to speak.
Dozens of gorgeous magic caravans were parked in the yard of the vestibule. Those magic caravans were all decorated with some gold and silver patterns, and there were even some golden tassels on the roof of the car.
Seeing some precious scale horses wearing heavy armor and pulling these magic caravans, Suldak couldn't help being a little envious.
If such a magic caravan appears on the Moyunling Highlands, it will be a very good command vehicle.
The gorgeous hall is illuminated like day by the magic lamps on the surrounding walls and dome. The melodious music will not affect the conversation of the nobles. The trays in the hands of the waiters have glasses of wine of various flavors, pastries and fruits of various flavors. Some delicate roasts exude aromas that excite the taste buds.
On the dance floor, some well-dressed ladies and socialites are dancing, everyone has faint smiles on their faces, and there are some polite greetings everywhere, even if they are still rolling sheets in a courtyard in the morning, when they arrive at the ball It will become an unfamiliar stranger again.
In the past few years, it has become popular all over the place for noble ladies to study at the Swordsman Academy. Now it seems that it is really necessary.
Most of their aristocratic evening dresses are thin-waisted and low-cut, and the extremely harsh restraint belt makes their waists unbearable. If they hadn't learned the swordsman's breathing method, they might be able to walk a few steps. Oxygen-deficient and suffocating, and those exquisite crystal shoes require their bodies to have excellent balance to avoid hurting their ankles when dancing.
The nobles of the Green Empire advocated low-cut dresses. It doesn’t matter whether the **** are full or not. There will always be bandages to help squeeze them.
What women pursue is to have a **** collarbone, round shoulders, and a swan-like exaggerated slender neck, and no matter how gorgeous the dress is, these places do not need other additional accessories.
Some young aristocrats were holding wine glasses, standing outside the dance floor and talking in low voices.
In the lounge area of the hall, some distinguished lords were sitting on those gorgeous and high-end leather sofas, and some noble ladies were leaning on the back and armrests of the sofa, and they were all listening to Suldak's narration attentively.
The lady sitting next to Suldak happened to be the Marquis of Peggy Bivis, and the Marquis of Peggy Bivis was sitting on the sofa opposite Suldak, surrounded by some handanals There are aristocratic lords with great status in the city, including the head of the city security regiment and the chief of the guard battalion in Handanal City, and everyone listens attentively.
And what Suldak told was the battle that happened on the Bank of the Buruin River more than two months ago.
At that time, Handanar City also decisively sent a new army along the Buruin River all the way westward, preparing to intercept the evil spirits rushing out of the Naroda Canyon.
Suldak recounted that the Constructed Knights of the West Route Army and the East Route Army joined forces and defeated the group of evil spirits on the Bank of the Buruin River.
That **** battle has been circulated in the noble circles of Handanar City for a long time, even now some people still occasionally talk about that battle...
Now that the commander of that battle personally told the scene of the war and the plight faced by the armies of the East and West at that time, everyone has heard the version closest to the truth.
Of course Suldak will not say anything about Marquis Edmund Arnold. As for the ghost warriors in the ghost army, they are of course very fierce and terrifying. They came to the Warsaw plane to eat people.
Everyone heard that the army that turned the tide of the battle was the Constructed Knights and Monster Legion of the West Route Army. Of course, Suldak had to downplay the Ghost Soldier Ant Legion at this time, otherwise the hat of a monster legion commander would be put on his head , but not very nice.
"At that time, the East Route Army sent nearly ten thousand Constructed Knights, and our West Route Army's Constructed Knights only had more than a thousand people. They just stopped these evil ghost vanguards from the front, and waited until the Constructed Knights of the East Route Army It was only after rushing over that they defeated the vanguard of the evil spirits..." Suldak explained modestly.
The head of the city security group asked curiously: "Lord Suldak, can you tell me in detail how your Constructed Knights intercepted these evil ghost vanguards from the front?"
'How to intercept...' Suldak was a little speechless, and complained in his heart:'Of course he charged up and stabbed them with a knight's spear, how could he kneel on the ground and beg them? '
It was only later that they realized that it seemed that the noble lord army on the side of Handanal City was not used to fighting the evil ghost army head-on, even the well-equipped Constructed Knights.
"Oh, this...me too..."
Suldak hesitated for a moment, organized his language a little bit, and then explained seriously:
"Before coming to the Warsaw plane, I also made some preparations. I brought some military supplies from my hometown Hailansa City. I also invited some magicians from Hailansa City and Ruyt City. I formed these magician nobles I formed a reconnaissance team, not only can I easily control everything within a hundred miles, these magicians can also provide me with some air support!"
When Suldak said this, the eyes of the surrounding nobles all brightened, and they all let out some exclamations.
"These unique armaments are actually some explosive barrels."
"Well, let's put it this way, these powder kegs are more powerful than fire phosphorus bombs. I let these magicians fly into the sky, and then drop these powder kegs from high altitude. These powder kegs are booming on the battlefield. When it exploded, the camp of the evil ghost army became extremely chaotic, and the Constructed Knights took advantage of this opportunity to rush forward, and almost no resistance would be encountered..."
Suldak's description of the role of the powder keg was a little exaggerated, and the surrounding lords nodded.
'So this is ah! '
Everyone seemed very excited as if they had found the password to success.
I feel that to copy the victory mode of the West Route Army, what I need to do now is to understand the powder keg that Lord Suldak said, and then go to build a good relationship with the group of magician nobles in the magic union. Everyone can make money together. .
The head of the city security group asked Suldak again:
"We all know how proud the magicians in the magic union are. You were able to recruit them into your legion. Lord Suldak, how did you do it?"
Suldak patted the magic pocket on his waist, and replied with a smile: "The problems that can be solved with magic spar are not any problems. Compared with those magic spar, magicians are more interested in the richness of the Warsaw plane. magic herbs and magic material resources!"
Marquis Peggy Bivis interjected and asked: "The empire has a certain quota for the supply of fire phosphorus bombs to each army. How did you get so much gunpowder that is more powerful than fire phosphorus bombs?" What about the bucket?"
"There is indeed a certain quota for fire phosphorus bombs, but there are no powder kegs. I think everyone present must not know much about powder kegs. It just so happens that I carry a powder keg in my magic pocket, but... it doesn't It is very suitable to be placed here, if everyone is interested, I can place it in the courtyard outside..."
Suldak patted his pocket again and said casually.
"Can I really take a look?" asked the head of the security regiment.
"Of course no problem." Suldak said: "If the place is not inappropriate, I can even show you its power."
"Commander Suldak, can you really try the power of the powder keg?" said the head of the security regiment.
"Yes, but it needs to be in the proving ground. If it is displayed here, it will destroy the garden of Marquis Bevis..."
Suldak stood up after speaking, and the surrounding nobles and lords also stood up one after another, and walked out together with Suldak.
Marquis Peggy Bivis laughed loudly and said, "The garden is so big, we can find an open place. Speaking of which, we are quite curious about your powder keg..."
