Working Prophet
Chapter 680 The Dusk of the Empire
The resilience displayed by the patchwork imperial army in White River City exceeded Solomon's expectations.
Perhaps realizing that the outcome of this battle would determine the fate of the empire, these reinforcements from all over the empire showed unprecedented fighting spirit and unity.
Despite the help of two giant dragons, the battle continued from early morning to dusk.
The city was filled with corpses, blocking the streets. The family flags embroidered with various heraldry were discarded on the ground like garbage, covered with blood and soil, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The Yi people paid a price of nearly two thousand people to achieve the final victory.
This number made Solomon's face a little ugly.
The expedition force he brought to Bratis Continent this time only had less than 16,000 people. During this period, they were fighting everywhere. Although they won consecutive battles, in wars, even if they kept winning, they would still lose their numbers.
So far, he has lost more than 3,000 compatriots, and there are still more than 2,000 wounded in the army. Even though only a small number of people have permanently lost their combat ability, this still makes Solomon feel a sense of crisis.
He realized that he needed to give his troops a rest. Occupying Lionheart Castle and winning the battle of White River City had proven to the people on this continent their strength and the weakness of the Red Lion Empire.
Next, Solomon will win over a group of powerful and ambitious lords and let them conquer other places, and he will also send dragons to assist.
However, the main force will focus on recuperation and try to only use it in key battles.
Solomon was still thinking about what to do next, when he saw his leader Sigmund walking over.
The so-called leader is the person who flies at the front and leads the direction of the army.
Only the person with the best vision, the best endurance, the bravest and the most alert can become the leader.
Sigmund's expression was solemn, "Lord Solomon, Sharjah is missing."
Solomon frowned when he heard this, but still said, "He performed very bravely in the previous battle. If you want to have some fun after the war, let him go."
"But I'm afraid the fun he wants to find this time is not simple." Sigmund said, "Not long ago, someone saw Sharja leading a group of people leaving White River City and flying west."
"West?"
"I asked the person who spoke to him at the end, and that person said that Sharjah told him to go to the Western Region and find the female lord named Ilea to avenge Moen and others."
"That idiot!"
This was the first time that Sigmund saw Solomon so angry, and there was even a hint of killing intent in his eyes, but Solomon soon regained his composure.
"How many people did he take?"
"The seven warriors from the Golden Eagle Tribe, the two people from the White Back Tribe who are close to him, and the four people from the Owl Tribe are basically his cronies."
Sigmund asked, "Do we need to adjust our strategy for Sharjah and use the western border as the next target?"
"No need." Solomon said, "Let's follow the previous plan. Let the word go out first. Those who want to be loyal to us can rush to Lionheart Castle within a month. The first person to arrive can get a large area of land."
Sigmund nodded, but then he couldn't help but ask again, "Sir Solomon, are you really going to let Sharjah do this nonsense? If anything happens to him, Lord Zebulun..."
"Lord Zebulun is not in the continent of Bratis." Solomon said, "When he comes here, he can come to me to ask for his crimes, and the thirteen people Sharja took away are all good players.
"Even if we can't kill the female lord named Ilea, there shouldn't be any danger." Solomon said, "Let's focus on more important things."
…………
Miss Rabbit, who was far away in the green field, sneezed at this time, and she didn't know who was talking about her again.
Ever since she made up her mind, the girl felt that her relationship with Merlin was heating up, but before she could be happy, she was overwhelmed by a series of bad news.
Lionheart Castle was captured, and the body of Emperor Garth was hung on the city gate early the next morning. Then a little later, Miss Rabbit received news of the defeat of the White River City defenders.
It is said that less than 20,000 of the 100,000 people escaped, and the rest either died in battle or became captives, including many nobles, and many families suffered heavy casualties.
The only good news is that the 10,000 people led by Hells escaped because they walked too slowly and did not have time to reach White River City.
In addition, as the elven kingdom declared war on the empire, the dwarves on the other side of the Dragon's Back Mountains couldn't sit still anymore. Everyone could see the weakness of the Red Lion Empire at this time, and the dwarves also wanted to get a share of it.
However, without the savage allies, it will not be easy to cross the Dragon's Back Mountains.
In addition, in order to survive, the dwarf prince Ollie made a big deal about Ilea and Shuangxiu after returning, which made the dwarf king Herre fearful of the female lord.
In the end, it was decided to bypass the Longji Mountains and launch an attack on the Golden Valley. However, the princes of the Golden Valley were not vegetarians.
It was a well-known and wealthy place in the empire. The lords were generally rich and well-equipped (many of them were weapons and armor purchased from dwarves). The Campbell family was also known for their resourcefulness, and the two sides probably had something to fight.
After looking around, Miss Rabbit found that apart from the Western Territory where she was, and the more remote, snow-covered Northern Territory, there seemed to be no place in the empire that had not been involved in the war.
And the female lord knows very well that the peace in the western region is only temporary.
Those Yi people set foot on the Bratis continent from the very beginning, just to conquer this land, so no one can stay out of it.
So the female lord planned to call together her most trusted vassals and counselors after Li Yu's next visit to discuss what to do next.
But what Miss Rabbit didn't expect was that Li Yu hadn't come yet, but she had waited for another uninvited guest first.
"What, what do you mean that the multi-scale city has fallen?"
Miss Rabbit looked at the young Silver Moon Church priest in front of her who was dusty and looked like he had just walked a lot, and wondered, "Did those Wing Tribe people launch a surprise attack on you?"
"No, it's Herodotus, it's Herodotus's Blood Moon Society. They started planning a long time ago and finally succeeded in triggering a rebellion in the Scaled City."
The young priest's eyes were red and he said in a hoarse voice, "The thugs of the Blood Moon Society have now occupied the Scaled City. They killed six high priests. Only the high priest Quintus escaped. He has now gone to Yanxue City is asking for help."
