Crown of Chaos

PS: There will be another update today, this is the first one.

PS2: There will be a plan to make up for it in the future. The emperor always remembers that he owes ten full updates, but don’t bother Mazu about this kind of thing. The emperor swore to Emperor Chen Rui of Jin Yuan that he would definitely make up for it.

boom! boom! boom!

A series of fireworks rose into the sky. Although nothing could be seen clearly in the heavy fog, the sound had undoubtedly reached the ears of Countess Eleanor of Aquitaine, the commander-in-chief of the left wing.

Miss Priest was only halfway through her meal at this time. She was always very polite when eating and ate in small bites. Upon hearing the signal, Eleanor calmly threw the buttered bread on the ground, pulled out the Tears of Selun warhammer, and shouted: " Justice will prevail! Believers of the righteous gods of the kingdom, destroy the Church of the Dark Sun today, and the time has come to end the Zhentarim!"

"Oh oh oh oh!" Countless church troops on the left wing of the Western Army and a large number of black knights from the Bedai tribe responded together, responding to Eleanor's order with thunderous shouts.

The churches that came to participate in the Taisway Battle today include almost all the good and neutral churches of the Kingdom of Gods. These churches are not of the same mind, and many churches are even in a state of opposition or even hostility. However, when Aaron launched the call At that time, everyone still came to join the war without hesitation. Even the daily grudges were tolerated by major churches as much as they could. Those that really couldn't be tolerated were treated as invisible and kept away from each other.

Eleanor, who has been involved in religious management for a long time, made this arrangement very well. The areas of the religious armies were well divided, avoiding too much internal strife, and the occasional small friction was quickly stopped.

There is no other way, after all, Cyric is too hated. As long as he can give Dark Sun a hard blow, all the major churches are willing to temporarily unite.

The enemy on the opposite side today happens to be orcs. Like Cyric, they are a species with a very bad reputation in the country. What is the reputation of the orc god Gruumsh in the country? Needless to say, the dwarf god Moradin is willing to beat him for free. A meal of sorts.

Puff puff puff~

Horse hooves stamped on the ground, and in the thick fog, the scouts of the Silver Hand Legion spread their orders.

Eleanor's eyes were solemn, and the pastor lady prayed silently in her heart: "My Lord Sullun, please bless Aaron and my Salian family!"

The left wing of the Western Army kept shouting all day long, but the response from the right wing of the Eastern Army on the opposite side was no less impressive. The roars like coming from the depths of hell came one after another, and soon gathered into a roar that shook the world.

"Gruush!" "Gruush!"

The war roars of the orcs are like thunder, their gods are infamous, and the appearance of the orcs is disgusting to everyone, but no one dares to despise the orcs, because the fighting power of the orcs is really valuable, and they have swept through villages, towns, city-states, countries, and even a whole country more than once. The whole continent!

In the thick fog, neither side could clearly see the situation on the other side.

At this moment, Ms. Irene of the Silver Hand, the Asmo of the Heaven, led a team of Silver Moon warriors to the front. They took out the modified "Moradin's Big Sausage" broad-bladed rune fire blunderbuss, and aimed it at the front. Where the orcs roared the loudest, they shot randomly.

Logically speaking, the distance between the two sides was very far, and it was impossible to see anything clearly in the thick fog. It was doubtful that the Silver Moon Warriors' fire blunderbuss could hit the orcs.

But I don’t know whether it was due to good luck or the quality of the enhanced Moradin sausage. In a team of fifty people, a bullet passed through the fog and hit an orc berserker in the eye socket. The bullet hit the spot. After breaking the left eye of the orc berserker, the orc berserker who was shouting Gruumsh was bleeding profusely and fell down covering his eyes.

The roar of the orc formation suddenly stopped, and all the orcs focused their attention on the fallen orc berserker.

"Uh~wow!!!"

"Hoo~oooooooo!"

"Ge! Wu! What!"

The orc commander Gorguz roared to vent the anger in his chest. With a wave of his claws, the 20,000 orc army pressed directly towards the left wing of the Western Army, leaving no one behind!

The battle began, and the orc warriors braved the rain of arrows like locusts, carrying rows of fire muskets and firing volleys, straight into the defensive position established by Eleanor. Eleanor was not to be outdone, and the church members one by one Divine magic was applied to the soldiers, they raised their shields and spears, and they immediately fought with the orcs.

The names of their respective gods and the roar of Gruumsh resounded throughout the Moon Sea.

Mansu, the leader of the Zhentarim in the center of the Eastern Army, heard the call from the right wing. It was obvious that the orcs were dispatched. He couldn't help but feel much more relaxed and even laughed twice.

good! The Western Army was really stupid. Not only did they take the initiative to attack, but they were also faced with orcs. Mansu was originally worried that the evil nature of the orcs and their inability to control their fighting style would bring variables to this great battle. As a result, the Western Army The first one to open is the orc army, so as long as the orc army has something to cut and flesh to vent, there is no need to worry that the orcs will target the Zhentarim army.

All we have to do is wait, wait for the Ghost City in the north and the dark army and demon elves in the south...

While Mansu was thinking about it, the sound of horns sounded continuously from the front, and the scouts came on horseback. The news delivered made the smile on Mansu's face stop abruptly.

In the thick fog, the military songs were loud, and the heavily armored soldiers of the Ninth Shepherd Legion of Cormyr were holding shiny steel halberds. They lined up in a row, turning into a moving steel forest and heading towards the Eastern Army. The Chinese army approaches.

"It's Cormyr!" the Zhentarim soldiers shouted.

The Cormyrians are coming!

Is Aaron crazy? Mansu couldn't help but want to yell, I clearly arranged a pocket formation, but you insist on rushing, right?

It wouldn't be a big deal if all of you Cormyrians died. We, the Zhentarim, have accumulated hundreds of elites here. The loss of 18,000 people is something that the Zhentarim would never accept.

"Send the order, fire arrows!" the leader of the Zhentarim Order ordered on the spot. More than five hundred Zhentarim Guild crossbowmen immediately walked out in front of the formation. Each of them was equipped with strong bows and crossbows. At this time, the two sides were still far apart, but they couldn't wait any longer. Mansu had ordered the arrows to be fired.

Behind the wooden wall, the crossbowmen used projectile tactics and fired arrows into the sky into the thick fog. Anyway, the Cormyrs' military formation was so dense that they would definitely hit the target.

The arrows were like locusts, drawing a parabola and shooting toward the shepherd's vanguard.

But the effect was not good. The Chaos Warriors of the Shepherd Legion raised their shields high. Unless these warriors, who were covered in heavy armor, were shot at key armor seams, long-range arrow rain would have no effect on them. The solution was that it was raining, and all that could be heard was the tinkling sound of arrows and crossbow bolts hitting the armor, as well as the white marks left on the armor.

The Western Army's generals, Maximian and Robert, laughed loudly. Seeing that the Zhentarim's arrows could not harm the soldiers of the Shepherd Legion, his cousin simply ordered: "Charge!"

The shepherd's flag swayed against the wind, and the warriors of the shogunate army shouted in unison, the sound was overwhelming.

However, because they were wearing heavy armor, the warriors were not marching very fast. However, the Steel Army and the Halberd Forest, which were slowly approaching from the thick fog, put great pressure on the Zhentarim.

In the blink of an eye, the Zhentarim soldiers fired a second round of fire.

The people of Cormyr sneered at this. They shouted the names of Asan IV, Aaron, or Alice Searle, and they were eager to plant the purple dragon flag on the wall of Zhentil Castle. How could they be afraid of this? test?

And when the third round of shooting was getting ready, the Zhentarim finally decided to put in some hard goods.

Fire oil bombs, poison gas bombs, fire guns imported from the gray dwarves, and re-export trade from Zambia, after finally spending a lot of money, the Moradin series of volleys with insufficient bullet base finally caused some casualties to the Cormyrs.

However, the morale of the Cormyrs did not waver at all. The shepherd warriors were very brave. Many of them were shot or even hit by bombs. Their bodies were still on fire, but they continued to charge forward.

In an instant, Mansu's face turned as green as iron. Seeing that something was wrong in front of him, he could not stop the impact of the shepherd soldiers, and he knew that he had met a powerful enemy.

"Lancers, form up!"

Naturally, there are heavily armored elites on the Zhentarim side. The spear points are pressed down, and the Zhentarim emblem is engraved on the shoulder armor. The spearmen are lined up in an array under the command of Serulla, facing the oncoming shepherd army. Collide.

boom!

The soldiers of the two regiments huddled together, shouts of killing, the sound of spears entering flesh, screams and their respective war cries.

On the right wing of the Western Army, the mercenary army led by the great dragon Egil was also at war with the mercenaries on the opposite side, but the intensity of the fighting here was very low. After all, they were all mercenaries who were paid to eat, and for a few gold coins Why are you selling your life? Of course, the military fiefdom promised by Aaron Salian is indeed quite tempting to mercenaries, but that has to be done first.

As for the main forces of both sides, Egil's half-dragon army and dragonborn family army did not move. Egil even turned into a human form, spread a mat on the battlefield, sat cross-legged on it, drank dark beer, and ate roast pig. Elbow, waiting for changes.

Likewise, waiting for changes are the drow troops.

The spider matron of the Banre family, Kunsel-Banre, listened to the reports of her subordinates.

"What? By the way, Rose, the Zhentarim central army was attacked by Aaron's headquarters?"

Kunsel's face changed slightly when he heard the news. Unlike other drow, Kunsel regards Rose as her life. She has already prepared to dedicate everything to Rose, so unlike other drow, Kunsel was willing to sacrifice the lives of more than 3,000 drow for Lolth's goal.

But some people are not so willing.

Gromph Baenre, the archmage of Menzoberranzan and one of the strongest among the legendary warriors, also came to the surface with the army this time, even though his boss was unwilling.

"Yes, it seems that Salian's strategic intention is very obvious. He intends to give priority to defeating our Chinese army, because as long as the main force of the Zhentarim's Chinese army is defeated, the meaning of this war will change. Those of us are just fighting with Salian. Lean's hatred has come, and without a reason for the Zhentarim, who would be willing to fight the Cormyrs on the ground?" Gromph Baenre said: "So this is the road to victory, this is a beheading strategy. .”

"Hmph! Arrogant person!" Kunsel sneered and played with his scimitar. The Spider Mother yelled angrily: "Just him? The Spider Queen's anger will engulf him sooner or later. The Zhentarim will lay out pocket arrays. When he came up, he threw all his main force into the central part. Did he think An Ri was not prepared for anything? We have seen those two demigods. As long as he dares to charge, he will definitely fall into a trap."

"Let's not just watch. There is only one target in this battle, and that is Salian's head!" Kunsel looked at Gonf Baenre coldly: "If the Spider Queen wants it, we must get it."

"Of course." Of course Gonf Baenre did not dare to oppose Rose. The Archmage just whispered: "There is no rush yet. There must be a lot of reserve forces on both sides that have not been used. Let's wait until they have exhausted their efforts before we consider it. Move out."

Kunsel snorted coldly and had no objection to Gonfu.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the all-out war of the Battle of Tesway began. Both sides invested their respective front forces, and the fight was in full swing!

However, as time went on, at ten o'clock in the morning, before the thick fog had completely dissipated, the Eastern Army's central army, the main force at the front of the Zhentarim, first began to be unable to hold on!

Magic communications were sent out first.

To the south of the Teswe battlefield, in the Cormanso Forest, the army of darkness finally arrived about 4 kilometers away from the battlefield due to the urgent march that started early in the battle. People and horses were exhausted. More than 3,000 people were left behind on the road, and more than 500 people died of exhaustion. Book a spot.

Chamu personally took Fu Zor and Disma to observe the battle situation, but the battlefield was covered with thick fog, and it was difficult to see what the situation was like for both sides. If we look at the battle lines, it should be a 50-50 split.

"Your Highness! There is a message from the Zhentarim, asking us to launch an attack immediately!" The panting mage came all the way and was as tired as a dog. He couldn't stop panting. Shamu helped him up very gently and asked his subordinates to lift him up. The kettle was given to him, but the mage only dared to take a small sip and said quickly: "The other party requires an immediate reply."

"Then reply to Mansu. Our army has been marching all the way. We are exhausted and exhausted. Please allow us to rest for a while." Fu Zuoer said calmly. Disma and Shamu looked at each other. Both the adoptive father and the adopted son looked at each other. See the smile in the other person's eyes.

This kind of joy of dominating the battlefield and being able to easily decide who wins and who loses is something that most people simply cannot experience.

"As you command!"
