Shaman from Afar

Duke Byrne has arrived in West Sackland. !

The words echoed in the hall were like a whole barrel of ignition agent directly lit, and the uproar was clamoring.

"What's going on, who gave him the authority to lead troops without permission to appear in the Imperial City ?!"

"Why is Duke Byrne back, not His Majesty Connold ?!"

"The Battle of the Boundary Mountain Fortress is over, so why did His Majesty the Emperor fail to return?"

"This matter needs to be investigated. You must not allow your majesty to enter the gate of the capital before confirming your royal order!"

The hustle and bustle of the whirling waves echoed in the hall, and every imperial nobleman was eagerly splashing, as if only in this way could the value and significance of their existence be reflected.

Faced with the noisy noise in his ear, Guy Angert, Earl of the Rock Castle, just sneered, with an undisguised contempt on his face-Earl of the Rock Castle, who did not even like the Byrne Roundtable, to the Imperial Parliament Even more disdainful.

Grand Duke Elleman, Julie Wiltz, is very solemn and still has a respect in his hands; but the sword in his waist and the armor under the cloak prove that his respect is more for the royal family than the Imperial Parliament. .

"Duke Yuli Wiltz, you just said that you have received news about Duke Loren Turin ..."

Metternich, the Minister of the Seal of the West, didn't care much about the attitude of the two men. He was more concerned about the result of the war situation in the north of the empire: "So there are already messengers who have crossed the battlefield and arrived in the capital?"

"It's a demon hunter under the Duke of Byrne."

The slightly nodded Duke Ellerman also specially looked at the Earl of Shanyanbao on the side of his eyes, and continued to murmur after receiving the other party's nod and acquiescence:

"He took advantage of the night to cross the blockade of the Azores from the land and water, and directly entered the capital-in fact, he dived directly into my barracks and told me this information."

"Duke Loren Turin and his 1,500 elite knights have landed from the lower reaches of the Gem River not far from the emperor, but they are blocked by the encircling net of the Azores."

"The demon hunter who came to send the information told me that Duke Byrne did not need us to send troops to assist him, but the goal of the 1,500 knights was too large, and forcibly breaking through the enemy's blockade will inevitably cause a chain reaction-so hope The most important thing on our side is to respond promptly. "

At this point, the expression of Duke Elmand was a little more serious: "As you know, the enemy surrounding the imperial capital is the little prince of the Azores, Rodria Azore; in all battles with it, Only Duke Byrne has beaten him by a few points, knowing what the enemy ’s weakness is. "

"In contrast, our enemies must also be very clear; once let him know that Duke Byrne is alone outside the city at this time, he will be surrounded by all means of siege; once he succeeds, it will be an irreparable loss!"

"I understand."

Metternich nodded solemnly: "I will inform this matter as soon as possible about Her Royal Highness Princess Fetrorone, please ask her personally-now, is the demon hunter messenger still in the Imperial City?"

"Yes, he hasn't left yet."

"Then please take me to see him immediately." Metternich said without hesitation: "I have a lot of things to ask this messenger for information about the battle of the Boundary Mountain!"

…………………

While the nobles of the imperial capital of Golovin were still arguing for their own interests, Loren Turin, who finally landed on the land of West Saklan, immediately discovered a somewhat terrible problem.

He originally thought that he forcibly broke through the Ebden defense line, the army almost lost its establishment, and the logistics supply of all the lost Azore elf princes would immediately start a siege to fight for the time, in order to take the shortest time to capture the capital of Golovin.

At least ... some gestures should also be taken, posing a very significant threat to the safety of the Imperial City.

Similar situation In the past few years, Loren has encountered more than once, even a few times he did it himself; the battle of Thousand Accounts City, the Battle of Silver Helmets, the Battle of Cloud Peaks ... Under the circumstances, the more it is to create a sense of crisis for the defenders, in order to create fighters.

But the elven little prince did not seem to choose to do so, and even did the opposite.

He began to disperse the army and gradually controlled the mansions, sentry towers, villages and fortresses in the West Sacrament ... The general situation is very similar to the vicinity of the furnace town.

All the "occupied areas" under their control are almost indiscriminate in burning and looting-sweeping the countryside, burning fields, cutting orchards, destroying workshops, looting warehouses ... there is only one Empire who dares to stay within their control End: Die.

Thirty thousand Azore elf pioneers, and elf warriors who did not form a system afterwards, are encroaching on the emperor capitals of the West Sakland little by little, turning this into their own territory.

As can be seen from these various tracks, Prince Rodria Azore and his warrior officers are not eager to launch an attack on the capital of Golovin, nor do they intend to face the 80,000 Byron Legion and other defenders in the city. Confrontation.

This is good news for the defenders, because the enemy's strength is so scattered, they can even control the entire Imperial City Defense with insufficient strength at hand, and even have the power to drive the enemies close to the Imperial Capital's defense circle.

But for Loren, the situation in front of him is a bit worse.

Although the total strength of the enemy and our opponents combined amounts to nearly 150,000 or even close to 200,000, but for a metropolis with a population of one million people, this is not enough.

Because both offensive and defensive sides are not stupid, it is impossible to tile the force on all the walls, and there must be a main direction of attack; then there must be a large blank area on the battlefield, allowing Loren to calmly avoid the enemy's sight and enter the city.

Now, the elven little prince's approach is equivalent to giving up siege on the city and blocking the surrounding area; any army who wants to enter the imperial capital area will be noticed by him.

Fortresses, manors, outposts ... These are his strongholds. The elf warrior patrolling around here is his blockade "line", and the range radiated by the "point" and "line" is his control zone.

If you want to pass through this area safely, you must pull out at least one stronghold and destroy the patrolling troops around you. If you have only yourself, Loren can find a way to sneak past.

But now he has 1,500 knights beside him, tax officer Jorde Jr. and Bishop Weber, so he must change his original plan, or ...

Change to a new "sneak" way.

"No, no, absolutely not!"

Before waiting to hear Loren's "new plan", little Yoder with a frightened face shook his head desperately: "I don't know if others can do it, I can't do it anyway!"

"You haven't tried it yet, how do you know if it doesn't work?" Loren smiled like a spring breeze: "Don't believe in yourself that much, you can."

"This is different from what was said at the beginning!"

"Oh, the plan can't keep up with the changes; how do I know that the opposite Azore elf did not siege, but blocked the surrounding area?" Loren was still "inducing": "There are some risks, but I want to You promise it is definitely not as dangerous as it seems. "

"Don't think about it! If that's the case, I'd rather turn around now and go back!" Little Yode was already crying.

"The ship has been dispatched by me to the lower reaches of the Gem River to meet the Elleman Regiment that is being assembled. Are you planning to go over the mountains and walk back to the Red Blood Fort alone?"

"You, are you a devil ?!"

Anyway, no matter how Loren persuades, the little Yode who is afraid of death but still lives is always very resistant to the "sneak" incident, and said that there is absolutely no room for negotiation.

The most important thing is that the young president of the United Chamber of Commerce and His Excellency Byrne Tax Officer knows his style of serving his master-once witnessed how Loren used one night to kill all the soldiers on the battleship. This matter is particularly impressive.

So this time in his opinion, Loren's so-called "stealth" may also be "as long as all the enemies who see me are killed, it will be considered stealth".

"If possible, I don't think it should be done."

Just when Loren and Jorde stalemate, the young priest Webber suddenly interrupted.

"Loren, you said to me that we are here to save the imperial capital-for a besieged city, the most important thing is confidence, a confidence that makes them believe that they can win and repel the enemy."

Ignoring the surprised look of Little Yoder, Weber's eyes scorched: "For this reason, we should not secretly sneak into the city as if we were afraid of being discovered by the enemy; on the contrary, we should be even more aggressive, even at war, and make a breakthrough Enemy's encirclement. "

"In this way, it will greatly inspire the emperor to defend the morale of the army, and inspire his determination to win-against Loren, you can also show your attitude and position through such a head-on battle."

"You are the Lord of Byrne, the commander of the Land of Knights, the victor of the Battle of the Blood Skeleton, the Savior of the Imperial Capital-you are a banner, a banner comparable to that of the Black Duke."

"Therefore, you must face all the enemies who have come to the front, meet all the challenges, and defeat all the enemies who are in front of you; the more you meet in a narrow path, the more you have to shoot the gun."

"It's not about interest, it's about your identity!"

The little priest made a generous speech, and said Loren and the people around were stunned.

Webber, who realized that he had suddenly become the focus of attention, was a little embarrassed to take a step back-even if he became Bishop Bien, he was still not very good at dealing with so much attention to his eyes.

After a moment of contemplation, the dark-haired wizard realized that Weber really said something.

If you do not enter the Imperial City quietly without a fight, it is difficult to get the attention of the upper and lower heavens immediately; because the purpose of your trip is not only to win the battle of the Imperial City's offensive and defensive, but also to help Brandon establish authority.

From this point of view, you really must have a big fanfare, and even fight against the Azores, and the louder the better!

"Duke, wouldn't you really be thinking of forcing a breakthrough from the front, right?" Earl Regrell of White Horse Peak frowned slightly, worried.

"is it not OK?"

"This ..." Regrell was very embarrassed: "I'm not saying that it can't be done, but this will inevitably expose our goals. Once the enemy knows that it is you, he will do everything to encircle and suppress it."

"If you can get assistance from the direction of the imperial capital, then you might really be able to fight a beautiful breakout, or even change the situation of the entire battlefield; but if the assistance from the imperial capital is not timely, or the enemy sees through our purpose ... "

"Are you worried about the unfavorable cooperation of Count Shanyanbao?"

"I was worried that the nobles of the imperial capital would not let go, or block the city gates when we went down the city!" Regrel shook his head vigorously:

"The death of the Black Duke is enough to prove that the East Sakrans may still have a bit of ancient style, but the nobles of West Sakran are all a bunch of wine bags-want them to take some risks for your safety and the survival of the Empire It is pure hope! "

Loren has no intention of persuading each other to look down upon each other in this region: "So ... we have to be big enough to make them think that sending troops is absolutely beneficial to their safety and interests!"

"You mean ..."

"What if we haven't been intercepted by the enemy, or have succeeded after being intercepted, and even relayed the news of the victory to the Imperial City?" The dark-haired wizard raised his mouth bit by bit:

"Let the Bayern people play one victory after another outside the Imperial City, and it is everywhere, will it make the royal nobles look dull?"

After a moment of hesitation, Regrel immediately understood Loren's thoughts: "Bluff?"

"I would rather call it a" reasonable "use of victory."

Loren shrugged: "According to the information received, the Azores are mass murdering and besieging all the Empire people in West Sakland. If we can save them, arm them and let them take us to victory. The news was sent to the capital of Golovin ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ In that case ... "

"Well, the faces of the nobles of the imperial capital will be very beautiful."

Regretre's face showed a clear look, with a cold smirk: "Holy Cross is on, I'm about to feel the urge to look at their ugly faces-what are you going to do ? "

"Three steps, and then see the reaction of the Emperor Capital." The general plan is to understand Loren, but he looks indifferently to the stronghold occupied by the Azores not far away:

"First of all, of course we have to find a way to attack the next stronghold and make some noise;"

"Then ... the entire West Sacran Theater will be in a mess and become unmanageable;" Regrell immediately said: "Finally, either the elves had to retreat temporarily, or they besieged us with all their strength, and the imperial side ... … "

"The Emperor capital will take the opportunity to send troops. If you are lucky enough, you can intercept Rodria Azore's back road in Golovin and come in a reverse encirclement." Loren nodded:

"And my luck has always been good enough."
