Crown of Chaos

A bunch of Cormyr gold coins fell on the yellow sand, but no order was given to the knight to take a second look.

Also, who of the imperial knights who came to join the war would like this yellow and white thing? Who is not of noble birth? How many gold coins are needed at home?

What they want is land, military merit, glory, and status in Salian's new shogunate.

Everyone who has seen the land of Rivellon says it is good!

We have made contributions to the shogunate and shed blood for the shogunate. When the time comes, the land after the greening of the Eno Oak Desert will naturally be our share!

Therefore, the knights of the order acquiesced to Edward Teach's operation.

How is it possible to accept the surrender of the barbarians? Harold surrendered, where can we make up for the military merits we lack?

Fiolena, the acting head of the Order Knights, the Guards Knight who had been idle for ten years, drew her long sword and pointed towards the location of Lake Elazade: "Send the order to the entire regiment, the entire army to attack, no matter what it is." As long as the Bedai barbarians dare to stop my shogunate army, they will be killed without leaving a single one behind!"

"Aye!" The whole army responded with a roar, and the right army and Aaron's backup army quickly started to move towards Harold's rear.

Looking at this scene, Aaron, who was holding the little Lucky Grass King Buyer, looked calm: "The desert of Eno Oak belongs to me."

At the same time, the left army and the center army were also slowly approaching Lake Elazade.

"boom!"

The Chaos Hell Cannon was poured on the city gate made of sand. The city gate, which could not be said to be very strong, was immediately exploded by the flames of the Chaos Hell Cannon. The sporadic Bedai barbarian defenders above melted directly in the gunfire, and no bones remained.

Harold was stunned by this blow, but he had no chance to react. The chasing Knights of the Order and Edward Teach's Pirate Marines had already come to kill them. A dense volley of fire cannons was followed by the infantry and cavalry. The group charged, led by several order knights holding machetes in their mouths, and grenades fell like raindrops.

On the sandy wall of Bedai Holy Land, a small number of defenders went crazy, shooting out the few arrows and scattered ammunition obtained from the Zhentarim in one go. The Order Knights and Pirate Marines who rushed to the front would occasionally fire He was struck by an arrow and fell down.

But there are too many enemies. There are more than a thousand knights alone. Counting all the attendants, there are more than 5,000 knights. And all the main forces of the Bedai barbarians are in civil war. How can they stop this? A group of Cormyrian noble descendants who are crazy about military glory?

In the blink of an eye, the knights of the order rushed into the city of Elazade. There were no decent buildings in the city. Most of them were just adobe houses or tents. A few ruins of Netheril could be seen vaguely. The largest building in the city was A domed temple dedicated to the spring goddess Idas.

The knights of the order immediately started fighting layer by layer along the city walls, tent piles, neighborhoods and around the temple.

Swish~swish~

From time to time, there was the sound of sharp blades cutting open tents and clothes. The defenseless Holy Land guards were immediately slaughtered, and their bodies fell one by one into the yellow sand.

Eleanor, the coach of the right army, became anxious when he saw this scene. The priest lady quickly ordered not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, but the knights who ordered the red-eyed killing only expressed their understanding. In fact, except for the Bedai people who knelt down and expressed their surrender clearly, Any other Bedai barbarians who showed any signs of resistance could not escape the butcher's knife.

Along the way, the holy land of the Bedai barbarians has been stained red with the blood of corpses, and even the wells and rivers in the city are already full of blood.

Within two or three hours, the city of Elazade was captured.

Along the way, since the main force of the Bedai barbarians was in the civil war, the city's defense was at its lowest point. Harold, Harald and Ivar all mobilized all their forces to fight on the outskirts of the city, so when the right army and Aaron When the reinforcements arrived at the city, there were only a few hundred defenders. The battle was won easily, or even without any difficulty.

Only when they reached the main entrance of the temple of the spring goddess Aida, did the Bedai barbarians form effective resistance. An old priest Aida with yellow skin bravely stopped in front of the temple, holding a bottle with spring water in his hand. The pendant with the sacred symbol of the goddess warned the shogunate army not to pass.

Aaron and others then gave the order to stop the attack. He signaled the army not to make any mistakes, but he arrogantly pushed aside the old priest guarding the door and strode into the Great Temple of Adas.

The great temple of the Spring Goddess is not much different from the time when Nese was still alive thousands of years ago. Thanks to the protection of Aidas, this small fixed oasis is preserved in the Aino Oak Desert.

The temple is not big, the entrance is only about 500 square meters. There are several clear springs on both sides of the hall. A large group of Bedai women and children wearing black robes huddled together in fear, looking at Aaron with fearful eyes.

The clear spring reflects undulating light and shadow on the ceiling under the strong sunlight outside the temple. There are rows of statues behind the clear springs on both sides.

No need to think too much, they are the Seven Gods of Nese.

Aaron walked to the statue of Su Lun Mama. He stayed for a while and asked the women and children to be released. They brought food and water and temporarily took care of them. He first looked at the statue of Su Lun Mama, and then looked at the statue next to him. Sister Shar, was silent for a moment.

I don’t know if you two have been fighting for so many years. What’s the point?

Then Aaron looked at the only unlucky guy among the seven gods of Nese who had truly fallen.

Amaunata, the sun god.

The establishment of the heavenly system depends on you, my father-in-law.

"Your Majesty the General!" At this moment, Edward Teach came to report. The little pirate's eyes were red from the killing. His armor and belt around his waist were stained red with blood. He was very excited at this time.

Aaron opened his eyes and turned around: "What's the matter?"

"His Excellency Maximian of the Left Army is leading the main force of the Left Army. The Shepherd Legion defeated Harold and Ivar's army."

"I understand, tell him to push forward!"

To the east of Lake Elazade, the site of the civil war between the Bedai barbarians.

The shepherd regiments under the command of Maximian, the cousin of the left army, who arrived quickly, especially the Orc Great Sword Camp, were like a mudslide opening to release floods, rolling up a devastating tsunami, sweeping through the ongoing civil war. The Bedai barbarians.

Harold the Great and Terrible thought at first that reinforcements had arrived, and he happily raised his arms and shouted, "win win win". Just when he was thinking about how to negotiate with Aaron, the barbarian leader discovered that the Nanguo actually even They fight together!

At this time, whether it was Ivar the Boneless, Harold the Great and Terrible, or Harald the Heartless, who was surrounded and in dire straits, their tired armies were no match for the left army, just like a flock of sheep breaking into a group of sheep. Tigers and wolves, the will of the army was instantly defeated and they fled north in a hurry.

At this moment, Maximian was still giving orders to surrender without killing, but cousin Robert, who was dressed in a white robe and a white choir cap, had already begun to give orders.

"Don't worry about the Bedai civilians, just kill the Bedai cavalry! One head will reward an acre of land!"

"Target the Bedai nobles! Especially the heads of Ivar the Boneless and Harold! Anyone who captures their heads will be rewarded heavily!"

"Soldiers of Cormyr, charge me!"

Robert showed unimaginable cruelty at this time. At this time, his cousin did not look like a believer of the Silver Virgin Suellen. He was clearly a Zhentarim tyrant!

With Robert's permission, the Shepherd Legion let go and scrambled to seize the head. Doherty's sword camp tilted down like a landslide. These two-handed swordsmen didn't even care about the head. , the two-handed sword wiped along the Bedai man's neck, and blood spurted out in the blink of an eye.

Like pieces of wheat, the Bedai barbarians fell to the ground piece by piece under the butcher's knives of the Cormyrs.

Maximian couldn't stand it anymore, and the coach of the left army couldn't help but said: "That's enough, Robert, the Bedai people have been defeated. We are here to conquer, not to be butchers!"

The cousin was silent for a while and said softly: "Mark, do you really not understand, or do you pretend not to understand? Is this a war of surrender or a war of conquest? Should we withdraw after the battle, or should we retreat after the battle?" Station here and become the master of the desert?"

The cousin was silent, and Maximian could only swallow his saliva and whispered: "But I'm worried that too much killing will bring a bad reputation. Besides, there are also some Bedai people who believe in Lord Suren... …”

Robert smiled slightly when he heard this and shook his head: "If someone is willing to surrender, then of course they are our brothers, but the Bedai people are used to the desert and plundering. If we don't kill them here, they won't really surrender. When the late king Asan IV suppressed many rebellions in the country, have you forgotten the methods of the late king? How many nobles were killed, exterminated, sentenced to have their property transferred, their territories confiscated, and exiled to Guangze. Don’t you know? How many people from the Salian clan are there? He died in the snowstorm in Guangze, and no one thought we were brothers at that time."

Maximian was speechless for a moment after hearing this.

After Robert said that, he felt that it was a bit too much, and his cousin was the coach appointed by His Royal Highness the General. He thought about it, and gritted his teeth and said: "Mark, this is not your fault. If you want to blame it, blame this damn person. In the world, we have no other choice. Everything I do is for the new shogunate, for this war of conquest, and to serve His Highness the General!"

The cousin patted his cousin on the shoulder: "Ku Yi Ku Beidai Ren, I will bear the responsibility!"

"Okay, that's it." Maximian compromised: "I didn't care before, but not anymore!"

Robert looked at the battlefield in front of him, but his eyes remained calm.

Gradually, the Bedai were completely defeated. Ivar the Boneless and Harold the Great and Terrible could no longer hold on and fled toward the northeast. Faced with the ruthless pursuit of the orcs, Harold's more than 8,000 people were defeated. When the army withdrew from the battlefield, less than 900 people were left, and Ivar the Boneless had only more than 1,000 people left, who fled in panic.

The waters of Lake Elazade are soaked in blood.

By the lake, a group of Bedai barbarians found themselves surrounded. In front of them, behind them, on the left and on the right were fully armed shogunate troops. A row of black muzzles were pointed at their bodies. A forest of spears shot up into the sky, with mouths in their mouths. The half-gryphons, still holding pieces of meat in their mouths, stared at them fiercely.

Harald the Ruthless and White-robed Halfdan and his son gasped desperately. Most of their tribesmen were scattered. Now there were only more than 500 tribesmen guarding the lake, and everyone was injured.

But Harald did not sit still. The Heartless swelled his chest and supported his body with a pair of battle axes. His long gray hair on the temples was braided into many braids. His amber pupils were filled with anger. Harald His subordinates are warriors who have followed him and crawled out of the sand in the Aenook Desert. Most of them come from the last ruins of the Nese Empire. The ancient belief in the Seven Gods makes them bloodthirsty. The desire to enter the Great Temple of Edath and drink with the gods made them fight selflessly. Although Harald believed in the cold ancient sun god Amaunata among the seven gods of Nese, he had the violent blood of his ancestors flowing in his body. He still fights bravely, just like his ancestors.

He was ready, ready to call on Amaunata's name for the final battle.

The warriors under Harald also lined up alongside him. Many people once laughed at Harald, saying that your god has fallen.

Harald replied that maybe what you said is true, but we still have each other.

Dusk in the great desert gradually came, and the bloody sunset dyed the entire sky red. But at this moment, the Salian shogunate army stopped attacking. They just surrounded Harald's remnants. The soldiers of the Shepherd Legion quickly Make way for a small path in the military formation.

Aaron Salian, the general of Cormyr's expedition and Grand Duke of Rivellon, stepped out from the crowd.

"Kneel down! Kneel down!"

"Bow low to the dragon of Cormyr!"

"Bedai people, you are defeated!"

There was a burst of cheers around him, and Harald the Heartless looked pale, knowing that it was all over.

But he still puffed out his chest proudly. When he saw Aaron, Harald cursed: "Shameless Nan, you dare to go deep into my holy land of Bedai, you despicable bastards, uncivilized beasts, Iole Your Majesty's guinea pigs, the low-class slaves conquered by Tiresil, the dregs taken off by Cronomanthir's gravity reversal, and the ashes exploded by Sunrest's sunlight, how dare you treat us like this? say?"

"You are right, but you seem to have lost the battle." Aaron smiled and said: "According to the rules of your Bedai barbarians, the winner has the right to deal with the loser, right?"

"That's right! I, Harald the Merciless, are still afraid of you? We, the Bedai barbarians, only have beheaded kings and no one who bends the knee!" Harald the Merciless sneered and nodded: "You have already defeated a king, and now you can Execute a king and the desert is yours, but do you have the ability to hold it? Nan!"

After saying that, Harald signaled Aaron to take action.

However, Aaron still kept smiling, recalling the letter from the eldest lady Charlotte in his heart.

There is love in the heartless, and Harald is indeed a man.

"Wait, Harald, don't you want to know why I suddenly attacked the desert, why I found your holy land, why I resolutely eliminated Harold and Ivar, but only left you? ?" Aaron said.

Sure enough, Harald had a confused look on his face. He really couldn't figure it out, but he still said firmly: "Kill or cut into pieces, it's absolutely impossible for me to surrender!"

"Because this is the wish of the sun god Amaunata!" Aaron took out a thin test tube from behind. In the test tube, a drop of Amaunata's divine blood glowed like a blazing sun. Aaron pointed out Holding Harald's flag: "This is also the fate of your belief in our Lord Sullun. I know that my Lord Sullun has received the same respect from you as the Sun God. Am I right?"

"You..." Harald opened his eyes wide. He really felt the power of Amaunata. He would not admit his mistake. How could he admit it?

Could it be that Amaunata is really back?

Is it really my lord's wish?

"I have always known your loyalty to the Sun God, and I admire you very much when I see you today. After discussing with my Lord, His Excellency the Sun God, and the Seven Nese Gods, I have decided that you will be the King of Bedai. Please also ask You must not refuse." Aaron immediately stepped forward and held Harald's hands tightly: "I know that people from the Zhentarim once approached you, but you resolutely refused. Just this matter alone. , I just want to say thank you!"

After discussing it, we decided, will you be the king of Bedai?

Harald was knocked unconscious by the pie falling from the sky.

A lifelong pursuit is actually achieved through defeat?

However, Amaunata's divine blood is not fake, and Aaron's faith in Suellen is not fake either.

The barbarian king opened his mouth for a long time, then his knees softened and he knelt in front of Aaron.

"I, Harald the Ruthless, my son Halfdan the White, on behalf of my Bedai barbarian clan, would like to surrender to His Highness the General!"
