The Witcher: Son of the Planes

Chapter 43: Encounter on Goda Plains (Part 2)

Bateer was a son who sold his father's land without regret. He brought 40,000 people, but his own tribe only had 25,000 people. The three tribes also sent out 5,000 people each, led by their own centurion.

After fighting for an evening, they only lost 10,000 people. His own tribe sacrificed only more than 4,000 people, but the opposite southerners died about 15,000 people, which was beneficial to the following battle situation. Today's raid was not in vain.

Just as he led his army to retreat, the magician team on the opposite side took action, and spells such as fire storms, chain lightning, and extreme cold ice arrows rushed in front of them, causing hundreds of casualties in an instant.

"It's unethical. I didn't bring our tribe's sacrifices. These insidious southerners actually brought magician troops." Bater thought helplessly.

...

Under the effect of the slow spell, Bater felt that the tribal warriors behind him were like staggering old men, and a simple step was a bit difficult.

Looking at the tribal warriors behind him, Bater had no choice but to lead the grassland tribal coalition that had left the battlefield to retreat.

After running far away, Bater almost fell off his horse when he counted the number of people.

After fighting for a night, he only lost 10,000 people. In this short period of time, he lost another 10,000 people. The key is that less than 4,000 people were killed directly, and the rest could not escape...

The noble coalition was not in a good situation either. The team of less than 35,000 people was not even enough for 20,000 people now. The good thing was that more than 3,000 prisoners were captured.

Prince Andy hesitated a little, whether to ask for reinforcements from the capital. With the accompanying wizard, communication was not a problem, but he would appear incompetent if he asked for others' opinions for the first time he led the army.

However, if he moved forward, these captured grassland people would also be a problem. It would be better to contact Montel City first.

I am honored that Matthew, Colin and others became messengers to deliver the letter.

"I \u0026" Colin was a little confused. Wouldn't it be good for the big army to act together? Wouldn't it be a waste of time to toss back and forth?

...

Montel City.

"The number of people on the other side is not right. It seems that your worries have come true. Should we send some people to contact Prince Andy?" Justin asked.

"I'm afraid it's a little late, but it's better to send someone to contact."

...

Colin and his team met the messenger from Montel City, and soon discussed the result and returned to Montel City first.

...

"Lord Giovanni, Lord Justin, this is the letter that His Highness Andy asked us to deliver." Matthew handed the letter over.

After reading it, Giovanni asked Matthew about the details of the Battle of the Plains, estimated the number of people on the other side, and decided to send cavalry to escort Prince Andy into the city.

"I'll leave the city to you. I'll take people to escort His Highness Prince Andy." Giovanni said.

"Be careful."

...

The tent of the grassland coalition.

"Chief Tiele, Bater and others should be back too." The chief of the Yanhu tribe asked.

"I guess it's almost done."

"Report"

"Tell"

"Lord Bater has returned with his army, and the number of troops is reduced by half."

"Bang"

The wine glass of the chief of the Grizzli tribe fell to the ground.

Tiele glanced at him and continued to ask, "Where is Bater, let him in."

After a while, Bater came in.

"Chief."

"What's going on? Tell me in detail."

"Yes, Bater, tell me about the situation." The chief of the Grizzli tribe asked anxiously.

"We have always had the upper hand. Seeing that it is getting late, I thought about fighting again tomorrow or retreating to the camp, but I didn't expect the opponent to send out a magician unit."

"Magician?"

"It's not an ordinary battle. Can't these extraordinary forces be dispatched? It's not the critical moment of the country's demise." The chief of the Grizzli tribe asked.

"I don't know what happened, but the enemy's central army was very strong. Many tribal warriors died and were injured but failed to break through the central army. The last magician unit also emerged from the central army. I think some big shot must have come." Bater recalled.

"It seems that this trip south is over..." Tiele thought to himself.

"First arrange for the warriors to rest, and then count the losses of each family."

"Chief, Chief Tiele." The three tribes were also a little anxious and eager to know their own losses.

"Bater, go down and arrange it. The three chiefs and I are waiting for you."

...

Under Giovanni's escort, the noble coalition led by Prince Andy, along with 3,000 captives, entered Montel City smoothly.

The strength of Montel City is close to 80,000, and the opposite grassland coalition is less than 100,000. The difference in numbers is not very obvious, not to mention that the Principality of Denton still has an advantage in weapons and equipment.

...

The latest battle results have been counted. Colin personally killed 37 grassland warriors and accompanied Matthew as a messenger once. The merits he obtained have been recorded. He will be rewarded when he returns to the capital after the truce.

Colin was a little numb. He didn't have time to think too much during the fight. He was still quite excited, but after the war, he calmed down and was a little at a loss.

Killing a necromancer not long ago was also the first time in his life. Killing so many people today really surprised him.

Seeing that Colin was still not used to it, Matthew came over to comfort him: "This is how it is on the battlefield. You will get used to it after a few more times."

Hearing Matthew's blunt persuasion, Colin smiled and became more sober. After all, he was just an ordinary college student in his previous life. Killing people again and again, Colin was a little worried that he would become more callous and indifferent to life in the future.

However, now is not the time to think about these things. Living and living well is Colin's obsession.

Uxsu City-Palace

"Andy has been gone for a few days. Is everything going well?" Anthony asked.

"Your Majesty, everything is normal."

Because of the military wizard, the message was delivered in a timely manner.

"Hmm?"

"Your Majesty, there is information from Prince Andy, saying that they were attacked by the grassland coalition forces on the Goda Plain, but they did not suffer any loss because of the magician troops. They also captured more than 3,000 grassland captives. Now they have followed Lord Giovanni to the city of Montel. The two sides have been at a truce for several days."

"It seems that this crisis has passed. The grassland people should not be able to fight anymore. Let's prepare in advance. We should be able to negotiate peace soon."

"It seems that the task of attacking Burgundy will be delayed for several years again," Anthony thought helplessly.

...

Burgundy Principality - Royal Capital Dragon City - Royal Palace

"Is the news confirmed?" Henry asked anxiously.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the grassland coalition forces and the Principality of Denton have fought several battles, and both sides have suffered heavy losses. The war should be stopped soon. The Principality of Denton will not be able to invade our country again in the short term, but the territories ceded by the agreement will not be returned for the time being." Roger replied.

"Great." Henry patted the armrest beside the throne and said happily.

"Time, we have more time to recuperate, develop people's livelihood, strengthen armaments..."

"Your Majesty." Roger interrupted his old friend's YY.

"Uh, a little excited." Henry said embarrassedly, and he would only show this kind of expression in front of his old friend Roger.

"Your Majesty, it seems that we are going to enter a long period of peace." Seeing Henry calm down, Roger continued.

"Yes, but our country's strength is still weaker than that of the Principality of Denton, and the crisis of national extinction still exists." Thinking of this, Henry was a little depressed.

"I think we should arrange some royal children to go to Huiyao Empire to study. If several high-level professionals can be promoted in recent years, I think it will also pose a threat to the Principality of Denton."

"It seems that this is the only way. After some time, I will personally select them. You can also bring any children you are familiar with."
