I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 313 Total War (2)

Although we only had less than 20,000 troops, the unprecedentedly high morale and Brandt's bravery completely made up for the numerical gap.

In this battle alone, 40,000 imperial troops were beaten to pieces.

When General Guro abandoned his men and prepared to flee, he was killed by Brandt himself. The final result was that the entire Phylician army of 50,000 was destroyed.

Brandt then personally led the army, passed through the central mountains along the Phylician path, suddenly appeared behind the Phylician army, and defeated the Phylician army responsible for ensuring the transportation route.

Because he guessed that the coalition forces had seen through his strategy and was worried that his retreat would be blocked, Dairos had to order a withdrawal and abandoned Razor Fortress and retreated directly to Alpine City.

If the coalition forces were not eager for quick success and sent troops to pursue the victory, but were ambushed by Delos and abandoned more than a thousand corpses before escaping back to the Razor Fortress in despair, the Second Battle of Hierro would have definitely ended with a complete victory for the coalition forces.

But even so, recapturing the Razor Fortress and completely ending the crisis in Auron City, these events proved the failure of the Phylician Empire.

Five months after the war began, the Phylicians finally had their foot on the iron plate.

After Felicia officially announced that it had taken over the mercenary kingdom, the rebellion broke out throughout the mercenary kingdom.

For a time, there was a strong tendency to drive out the invaders and betrayers from the mercenary kingdom. However, the resistance army was always a resistance army, and they had no blood, but the improvised army could not take the stage after all.

They were far less powerful than the well-trained imperial army and rebels, and the Flame Emperor Delos who was stationed in the Mercenary Kingdom at that time became a nightmare for all the rebels.

Every ingenious trap and strategy made the rebels suffer a lot.

In the first month alone, dozens of small-scale resistance armies were completely suppressed by the empire. Even Edward's resistance army, which was established by the two original mercenary groups, was also in danger several times.

April of the Creation Calendar 671, this month became the Black April of the resistance. Within one month, nearly thirty resistance armies were wiped out by the empire, and more than 50,000 people were killed.

Even Bogosi, who deeply hated the mercenary deputy commander, was also impressed by Dailos's command and use of troops.

Several attacks by the rebels failed, and on several occasions they suffered counter-ambushes from the Imperial Army.

The only good thing is that the Empire overestimates its own strength. Although several ambushes caught the resistance by surprise, under the leadership of Edward, Bogosy and other absolute strong men among humans, they relied on their own strength to force the rebellion.

Out of danger.

The most typical one was when the empire sent 3,000 elite infantrymen and 100 magicians to encircle and suppress the enemy, but they also retreated smoothly.

However, after that battle, even Edward, who had always been fearless, felt lingering fears about it.

At that time, the rebels were besieged by the imperial army in a long and narrow valley, and the only exit had been tightly blocked by the imperial army.

One hundred fourth-level magicians joined forces to release high-level spells, hoping to completely bury the resistance in the valley.

However, they failed to calculate that there was also a magician in the ragtag resistance army, and he was also a sixth-level high-level magician.

When they were halfway through the high-level spell, they encountered the level 10 fusion magic that Ellie used to drive her spiritual power beyond the level - a diffusion wave attack. This blow immediately plunged the entire Phylician army into chaos.

One hundred magicians were the first to bear the brunt and were killed by Ellie's powerful magic.

The resistance army took advantage of the confusion of the enemy troops to forcefully rush out of the valley. Edward, who took the lead, took the lead and killed the Imperial Thousand Cavalry Captain and two Centurion Captains who led the team, knocking the morale of the Imperial Army to the bottom.

Successfully led the rebels out of danger.

But even so, after this battle, nearly half of the resistance fighters still fell on the battlefield at Taniguchi.

Fortunately, when the resistance army just entered the most difficult period, news came from the territory of the Odu Alliance that the Phylician army was defeated and defeated by a joint attack by the Odu Alliance and the Free Alliance.

The emperor had no choice but to let Dairos put aside his mission to exterminate the mercenary kingdom, and immediately went to the territory of Odu to command the defeated Phylician army and regroup to face the coalition's counterattack.

Without Dairos, who was as cunning as a fox, the pressure on the resistance forces was immediately reduced. However, due to the sweet dreams suppressed by the imperial army some time ago, most of the resistance forces only corrected on one side.

, while accumulating strength and preparing for a comeback.

With the end of the Second Battle of Hierro and the Empire's defeat once again, some warriors in the Mercenary Kingdom began to realize that the hegemony of the Imperial Army had come to an end.

The long-dormant resistance forces sprung up from all over the country like mushrooms after a spring rain, attacking the imperial army everywhere. For a time, nearly one-sixth of the cities in the Mercenary Kingdom were occupied by the resistance forces.

Although most of those cities were small city-states, the impact on the empire was self-evident.

But unlike those fanatical rebels, the rebels led by Xilu did not participate too much in the counterattack, but continued to accumulate strength as if waiting for something.

"West Road, and Bogesi, you two had better come out quickly. I can't stop the people outside for long. After all, I can't attack my own people." Edward's voice came from West Road.

There was a sound outside the door.

In the room, Xilu and Bogexi, who were studying the situation on the sand table, looked at each other helplessly, and both showed a wry smile.

Ever since the rebels from various places began to launch large-scale counterattacks, only their teams remained stationary and just kept watching the situation.

More and more soldiers began to be dissatisfied with the conservative decision-making of the Western Route. Although Bogosi repeatedly told them that the time had not come yet, in the face of the victories achieved by other resistance armies, everyone began to feel more and more pressure.

Come bigger.

Outside the door, many excited soldiers began to push Edward and Red, trying to rush to the room on the west road to ask him for an explanation.

Although their pushing and pushing had nothing to do with them, and if they didn't want to let them go, none of the resistance soldiers could do anything to them. However, looking at the increasingly agitated soldiers, the two of them began to feel a little headache.

At this moment, the door behind Edward opened with a creak, and it was Xilu and Bogexi who stood at the door.

After seeing the two people coming out, the soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then all kinds of questions and even abuses came one after another. "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me." Bogosi shouted in his loudest voice.

.

After hearing Bogosi's voice, everyone immediately fell silent, waiting for Bogosi's explanation.

"I know that everyone is very excited right now, and I also know that those Phylician bastards suffered two defeats in Aldulian. So I understand everyone's eagerness to liberate the Mercenary Kingdom..."

"Then why don't you lead everyone to attack and show some shame to those Phylicians and those traitors?"

"That's right, you coward. I heard that many rebels have recaptured many cities. We are the only ones who are still here, like a lost dog."

"Everyone, be quiet! Listen to what I have to say." Seeing that the soldiers who had been quiet just now began to get excited again, Bogosi raised his voice again.

"I know that everyone wants to do this, and we also have the strength to send the current Phylicians and those traitors to hell. We are all strong, aren't we?

However, just a month ago, we were cornered by the Phylicians. If it weren't for Ellie's magic, how many people would be able to stand here and question me with confidence now?

You think it's amazing, don't you? In that battle, we lost nearly half of our companions. Is this what you want?" After hearing this, the warriors who were originally angry finally calmed down and looked at each other indifferently.

Word.

Indeed, while Dairos was still in the mercenary kingdom, the resistance of the rebels had almost no effect.

Moreover, due to the disadvantages in numbers and equipment, head-on confrontation became impossible. "But leader, now that Felicia has been defeated in two consecutive battles with Odu, doesn't it mean that they are at the end of their war effort?" said one.

The soldier standing in front hesitated for a moment and then expressed his thoughts.

"Are the Phylicians really at their wits end? I'm afraid it's too early to say this now." Hearing this, Xi Lu, who was next to Bogesi, also said, "Everyone knows that Phylicians are the strongest in the empire.

The troops are the Imperial Guards of the Imperial Emperor, and the other are the First and Second Imperial Infantry Legions.

But everyone has forgotten another thing. The first and second infantry regiments of the Phylician Empire did lose two key battles in a row in Odu, and two of the three imperial generals have already

Go to the territory of Odu to command the army.

But the troops directly under their three imperial generals, namely the heavy infantry regiment Dark Fire of Flame Emperor Dairos; the magic regiment Ice Flame of Ice Emperor Bius, and the subordinates of Thunder Emperor Zarubot can compete with the Iron Wall Knights of Odu

The eponymous Knights of the Thunder Fang.

These three troops have not appeared on the battlefield so far, do you know what this means?"

Xilu's words made all the soldiers present fall into deep thought, and suddenly one soldier remembered something.

"Could it be that the current Phylicians are just..." "Yes, the Phylicians have not tried their best. Since our mercenary kingdom is so vast, it will take a certain amount of time to fully control it. Phylicians are worried that before complete control

The Mercenary Kingdom was disturbed by the Odu Alliance and the Free Alliance.

Therefore, they struck preemptively. Although they were not fully prepared, as long as they suppressed the Austrian Alliance and the Free Alliance, they would be overwhelmed.

This way they can free up their hands to completely control the mercenary kingdom.

And because our resistance forces were operating secretly at the beginning, although Dairos's methods are very strong, they will not completely eliminate us.

But now, many rebels have banded together and started to confront the Phylicians head-on, and even occupied some cities. This plays into the Phylicians' intentions."

"Could it be that they are trying to lure out all the rebels and kill them all in one fell swoop?" Several soldiers showed surprised expressions and sounded very panicked.

"Xi Lu is right. I received a report from the spy sent out yesterday. The first general of Phylicia Empire, Thunder Emperor Zarubot, has set off from the imperial capital, accompanied by the Thunder Fang Knights directly under him.

If my prediction is correct, the Mercenary Kingdom will soon be subject to another major purge."

"Damn it, those despicable Phylicians."

"Chief Bogesi, what do you think we should do?"

"What we need to do now is to wait patiently and wait for Phylicia to be seriously damaged on the northern battlefield before we can make a difference.

So before that, please continue to be patient. The first priority now is to contact other rebels and report the situation to them.

And before the main force of Phylicia arrives, we must destroy Phylicia's logistics channels as much as possible, so that their supplies can be sent to the front line as slowly as possible, and ultimately wear down their main army in Odu."

"Okay, Chief Bogosi, please let me contact the resistance forces in Canter Town. I will definitely convey the chief's wishes to them."

"Leave the contact with the resistance forces in Shifeng Mountain to me."

"I am very familiar with the road leading to Odu. Please leave the task of destruction to us." For a time, the camp was filled with passionate petitions.

After assigning the tasks of contacting various rebels to capable soldiers one by one, Bogosi returned to the room on the west road, along with Edward and Red.

"Bogosi, I don't see how you really thought twice and let them figure it out so quickly." Edward said with excitement as soon as he entered the door.

"No, I'm just telling the truth. And what I can infer so far is only superficial.

Now we just hope that other rebels can accept our words. Otherwise..." Bogosi fell into deep thought as he spoke, as if he saw countless burned villages and the rebels who fell under the butcher knife of the Phylicians.

Army soldier.

For a moment, there was silence in the room.

"It's such a tiresome war." After Edward dropped these words, he turned and left the room.

——

In a dense forest on Cliff Mountain, more than two thousand resistance fighters were carefully advancing toward the foot of a mountain through the woods in the faint moonlight.

Along the way, there was no other sound except the rustling of thick leaves underfoot.

Walking at the front of the team is their leader Mokra. At this moment, he is holding the long knife in his hand tightly and paying full attention to the situation around him.

Not long after, the group of people arrived at the destination of their trip - the temporary residence of a group of Phylicians.

After Mokra signaled his men to disperse and hide, he lay down by a tree and looked carefully at this group of Phylicians who were probably escorting important supplies by the moonlight and the firelight in the camp.

Although the number of Phylicians in front of him was not large, only about a thousand or so, Mokra still did not dare to be careless.

You know, in recent days, several resistance armies have been wiped out by the Phylician army.
