Warhammer Wizard
Chapter 443: take the initiative
The wind howled high above the sky.
Borch slowed down to keep up with the fire dragon, flew for more than two hours in a row, and entered the territory of the Principality of Morse. Ren felt that the dragon's physical strength was a little weak, so he found an unmanned field and landed.
After more than forty fiery dragons landed, they gasped heavily.
The Ultramarines jumped to the ground one after another. Their weight plus armor and weapons weighed more than a thousand pounds, which was also a big burden for the Fire Dragon.
Borch changed back to human form, took out a box of gold, opened it, and counted happily, not showing the slightest tiredness, but even more excited.
"Boss, how much will you give me this time?" He asked expectantly, clutching a handful of golden dragons.
The Ultramarines also put up their ears.
Ren has always been generous, and every time he goes out to fight, the treasures and spoils of war will be distributed to everyone. The earliest followers of Sicarius and others have saved a lot of money, and they are the most prosperous in the entire Macragge tribe. A group of people with money.
This time, the Ultramarines didn't do much, they were only responsible for the transportation, but with so many gains, even if they only took a small part, it was very impressive.
Ren had already made arrangements and said, "This time, you will contribute more, so take 200,000 gold dragons, and each Ultramarine has 5,000 gold dragons."
"Long live the boss!"
The Ultramarines cheered, and they earned five thousand gold in just one trip, which they would never have even dreamed of before.
Borch was also very happy, his tri-colored pupils were full of joy.
It has only been a few months since he followed Ren, his wealth has grown rapidly, the small vault is getting bigger and bigger, making money is easy and safe. In contrast, in order to steal the family of Barkley, who was in the mountain city of Jubilee, he planned for several years, recruited people to form a mercenary group, exhausted his efforts and efforts, and finally almost overturned.
Now it seems that being controlled by Ren using the Soul Control Circle to become his mount is not necessarily a bad thing, but the greatest luck in his life as a giant dragon!
Borch narrowed his eyes and continued to count the money.
Ren's soul eye sensed the change in his emotions and smiled secretly.
Using money to buy people's hearts is indeed an excellent method, but it depends on who uses it and whether they have the strength to protect their own money.
Duke Danes was used to this trick, but he didn't think clearly about the stakes, and suffered from it instead.
Ren's eyes swept to a short figure, Dinglaji sat alone on a stone next to him, silent, as if he didn't notice what was going on around him. Since he left Rock Lion City, he has always been in this state, his soul is gray and white, and he does not know what he is thinking.
"Are you all right?" Ren walked over and asked.
"Lord Lord, I'm fine." Dinglaji took two or three seconds to react, a smile on his face to hide his disappointment, and said with a smile, "I haven't congratulated your lord for conquering the Dansi family."
"But I don't think you're too happy?" Ren shook his head in disapproval.
Dinglaji was about to deny it subconsciously, and suddenly remembered that Ren had the ability to see through lies, hesitated for a moment, and asked back: "Sir, if Duke Dans hadn't gathered the 10 million golden dragons overnight, or resisted with all his might, would you? How to do it?"
Ren looked at the Ultramarines around him, and the answer was self-evident.
When he notified the Ultramarines to rush to the Rock Lion City last night, he made two preparations, one was to get the money and leave, and the other was to kill without getting the money.
The Duke of Dans obviously also realized the intention, so he was so submissive in the end.
Although Dinglaji had guessed it in advance, Ren's response surprised him, he opened his mouth but did not speak.
"Do you regret it?"
Ren asked, before waiting for the other party to reply: "You treat them as family, but they treat you as a monster. Your kindness, in the eyes of Duke Dans and the others, is that you brought disaster to the family. , I hate you to the bone now, and I think I'm madly cursing you now, feeling very uncomfortable?"
"Yes..." Dinglaji lowered his head, "I'm obviously doing it for their own good!"
Ren didn't know how to persuade him.
He has the eyes of the soul and can see people's true thoughts clearly. Except for Coster who cares a little about Dinglaji, other people in the Danse family don't regard Dinglaji as family at all. When Duke Dans saw his own son, his emotions were only disgust and disgust. The color of Lina's soul was even more red and black, as if he had seen a mortal enemy.
Even Coster's concern is swaying, far less than his love for his sister Lina.
After Dinglaji seriously injured Linna, Coster's attitude also changed unknowingly, and he never said a word to him again.
Just like Qiu Yu's family, who had suffered countless humiliations, Dinglaji was still thinking of them.
Is this masochistic addiction?
Ren took a closer look at Dinglage. This guy is not only physically deformed, but also mentally deformed. It is estimated that he has "Stockholm Syndrome".
His impression of Dinglaji is still good. He is a loving and righteous man. He is more trustworthy than most people in the world, but he is too deeply involved in the family. To be destroyed in the hands of the family, even their lives will be lost.
To untie the bell, a bell-tie is needed, but this string of bell ropes is already tied into a dead knot, and it is almost impossible to untie it.
Ren's heart moved, and if he couldn't solve it, he just burned it.
"Lord Lord?" Dinglaji said in a low voice, seeing Ren was thinking, with a smile that made him shudder.
Ren came back to his senses, but did not reveal his thoughts. After resting for half an hour, the fire dragon recovered most of his physical strength and continued to take off.
After three rests along the way, in the afternoon, the city of Barosque appeared in front.
Ren looked far into the distance, and the army outside the Fortress had already set off and left the city of Barosque, leaving only a part of the force to guard the port and the city. He communicated with Emilys on the way, and the army moved forward according to the plan, without waiting for him, he would catch up with Ultramarines later.
"Fly to Longjing Island."
With Ren's order, Borch and the group of flying dragons turned to go out to sea, and soon arrived at Dragonjing Island and fell into the ancient castle on the island.
The Ultramarines unloaded the boxes and moved them into the castle hall, where they piled up around the teleportation array.
Under the curious gazes of the wizards and centaurs guarding the teleportation formation, Ren opened the teleportation gate and went straight to Wezeland Floating City, where the Ultramarines moved the boxes at the fastest speed. Opposite the teleportation formation, Raistlin had already led a team of Ultramarines who stayed in Glamorgan waiting, took over the huge wealth, and moved directly into Ren's wizard tower.
The whole process took less than ten minutes, and 10 million golden dragons were safely bagged.
As for the use of this money, Ren has a preliminary plan, but it will be dealt with after the war is over.
He didn't stop at Longjing Island, and took off immediately after closing the teleportation.
All the way to the east.
In the evening, Ren caught up with Emily's army.
Looking down from a high altitude, an army of tens of thousands of people is advancing mightily on the ground, more than half of them are centaurs, they run at the forefront, and there are several centaur scout teams, running back and forth in front of them all the time Find your way and avoid being ambushed by the enemy.
The sturgeon warriors of the River Bend Legion followed closely. Their number was not large, only five hundred people, but this was already half of the River Bend Legion's strength. The army under Duke Fisher was dominated by extraordinary people, and his vassals and lords also sent their own private army to form an extraordinary army of nearly 4,000 people.
These extraordinary people do not have a unified occupation and equipment, and dozens or hundreds of people form a group and follow at the back of the team.
The most conspicuous among the tens of thousands of troops are the two extraordinary legions.
The Spear Wing Knights and the Scale-Driving Guards, who were similar in number, were less than 200 people, protecting Emilys and the wizards.
Ren observed in the air for a while.
Because of the existence of extraordinary beings, the way of warfare in the world of Ellenus is very different from the previous life. Except for the Spear Wing Knight and the Scale Rider Guards, most Transcendents do not have mounts, and the speed of ordinary war horses is not as fast as themselves, so they like to travel on foot.
Most of the Transcendent Legions are infantry, but their marching speed is faster and more flexible.
It only took one day for the army to leave the territory of the Principality of Fisher, passed through the territory of Cold River City, which was wiped out by the Ultramarines, crossed the border, and entered the territory of the Lauberdale family.
I only rested twice throughout the entire journey, and when it was getting dark, I arrived at the first combat destination.
This is the castle of a baron, one of the vassal lords of the Lauberdil family.
Outside the castle is a small town with a population of only 30,000 to 40,000 people. The town is surrounded by 5,000 centaurs. The city wall more than six meters high is vulnerable to the army of supernatural beings. There are not many guards, and the city has not even been attacked. The door was opened from the inside.
Emily sent a thousand centaurs into the city and surrounded the castle.
Unexpectedly, the castle did not have any resistance.
Several elderly guards came out of the castle tremblingly, and told the Baron Kiribbin that he had brought his family a few days ago and abandoned the city and fled.
The baron not only took away his private army, but also most of his precious treasures, leaving only an empty city. Afraid of dying in the war, many residents fled with their families overnight, leaving those who remained in panic.
The leaders of the army looked at each other in dismay, especially the nobles of Congatro, who were very surprised.
Abandon the fief, abandon the city and flee.
This is unacceptable in Congatro. Once the lord makes this decision, it is almost equivalent to giving up his right to rule, violating the vassal's oath, unable to explain to his lord, and losing the confidence of his subjects. Support, because the lord has the duty to protect the people.
In the history of Congatro, most of the lords who abandoned the city and fled did not end well, even worse than insisting on resistance.
If the resistance fails, even if you are captured by the enemy, you are excusable.
There is a tacit understanding between the major families. Generally, noble lords are not killed at will. After the war, most lords can return to the territory and continue to be nobles.
Alice stood in the empty castle hall, looking at the shivering servants, all old, weak, sick, and abandoned.
Her expression was solemn, such an abnormal situation might not be good news.
"Go on, and stay overnight in Oak City tonight."
Duke Fisher and Varogan led the way, arranged for the army to camp outside the city, and at the same time took over the city, sent people to appease the residents, and arranged night watchmen to avoid being attacked by the enemy at night.
After dinner, everyone discussed in the baron's castle's study.
Under the bright crystal lamp, Emily sat on the head, and there was a hint of fatigue on her beautiful face. Although she concealed it well, Ren still noticed it, and couldn't help feeling a little strange. She is a fourteenth-level dragon vein apostle, a legendary middle-level extraordinary person, and she didn't fight for a day on the march, how could she be tired?
He secretly observed it with the eye of the soul, and found nothing unusual.
"Varogan, what news do you have over there?"
Emily rubbed her eyebrows lightly, looked at her intelligence chief, and asked, "Did you find out where Baron Kiribbin escaped?"
"Your Majesty," Varogan got up and replied, "I interrogated the guards. After comparison, and combined with the news reported by the spies who were hidden in the city before, Baron Kiribbin should have gone to Windfury Castle."
"Windfury Castle!" Duke Fisher was very puzzled, "He still dares to go to Windfury Castle, isn't he afraid of being held accountable?"
If one's vassals give up their territory and run to Runaway Castle, no matter what the reason is, they must be arrested and tortured first, or even beheaded! This is the bottom line of noble lords, even if they dare to give up their fiefs, what else can’t be done?
Baron Kiribbin is a vassal of the Lauberdale family, and escaping to Windfury Castle is a suicide!
Varogan shook his head, "This Baron Kiriben is not that kind of stupid person~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He has a high prestige among the territorial people and is very popular, not like the kind of person who voluntarily gave up the fief. The lord of the lord has put himself and his family in an extremely unfavorable situation."
"There must be more important reasons for him to give up his territory." Varogan meant.
Duke Fisher suddenly thought of a possibility.
"What do you mean, Baron Kiribati got the advice of the Lauberdil family? That's why he dared to give up the fief, and even took his family and escaped."
Varogan nodded, "Besides this, I can't think of any other reason."
"This is not good news." Dinglaji said: "If I am not mistaken, the Lauberdil family is ready to concentrate all the forces in the territory to Windfury Castle and fight us decisively. They must know the fate of Riverrun. The battle situation, knowing the existence of the wizarding group, no matter how many people can't hold Windfury Castle, there is a high possibility that they will ambush somewhere or fight us decisively."
It is never a good thing to let the enemy choose the location of the war.
The plan of the Lauberdil family can be said to be shrewd. It turned from defense to attack, and turned passive into active. Moreover, their army was delayed in Barosque for a few days, so that they could be more fully prepared.
Duke Fisher almost jumped up in shock.
If the Lauberdil family circled behind and attacked Barosque City at the fastest speed, it would be impossible to defend with the remaining strength.
