Chapter 47
After the announcement of the world, Tower of Shadows quickly began to prepare for war.
Two of the six wizards stationed in the tower were selected, and nearly a hundred formal and informal apprentices were recruited. The sixteen kingdoms of the forest border also selected five human kingdoms. It is so large that nearly 10,000 troops have been invested in total.
As their enemy, Red Devil's Blood has only one official-level wizard and dozens apprentice, and there are only two human kingdoms under the rule of Gide and Lake, and there are not enough warriable soldiers. Five thousand people.
Don’t think it’s a dish, Red Devil's Blood is already the top five great wizard organization in the dark sea of trees in terms of comprehensive strength, much weaker than this.
Yes, the power pattern of the Gloom Sea of Trees is also similar to the situation of Blue Star One Super, but the Super Super here is even more outrageous, and it has reached a level that even a challenger cannot be found. To the extent.
Tower of Shadows is the king who does my part in this sea of dark trees!
...
After half a month, twilight valley, fortress.
Twilight Valley is located in the northwest of the Kingdom of Hiran, just at the intersection of the Kingdom of Hiran, the Kingdom of Gide, and Lake Duchy. It is not just in name only, but also in reality.
And because of this, the Kingdom of Hiran built a military fortress along the valley, which happened to separate the Kingdom of Gide from Lake Duchy.
At this moment, in the Twilight Fortress.
"gu lu! gu lu!" The sound of rolling wheels one after another.
A series of scooters escorted various war equipment into the Twilight Fortress.
Earl Croya, wearing a bright silver chain mail, stood at the entrance of the city gate and arranged the baggage to enter the city.
"...the arrows are shipped in and put in the warehouse, pay attention to moisture, these two days are cloudy and rainy..."
"...the city wall in the northwest corner why There will be cracks, where are the craftsmen? If the enemy hasn't fixed it before they arrive, I will hang you on the city wall..."
"...Has the leather armor arrived? Don't let me The soldiers are fighting bare-ass..."
"...give me pull yourself together, guard the Lakers, and after Your Majesty kills Gidean, I will take you to the territory to grab a few women and come back to play Play!"
The somewhat dull atmosphere of the fortress eased slightly with the earl’s last words.
The crowd burst into laughter.
After calming the soldiers' nervousness, the earl stepped onto the battlements.
The battlements are up ahead. At this moment, there is a silhouette standing with one hand on the gray bricks. Looking into the distance, a gray cloak of fine linen is dancing violently in the wind.
Earl Croya stepped forward, took a look at the empty wilderness in the distance, turned around and said, "Master Wizard, is there anything worthy of your attention over there?"
Heath Looking back: "I'm thinking, when will the Lakers come."
Because of the geographical advantage, the military commander of the Tower of Shadows made the deployment to concentrate the superior forces to attack the Kingdom of Gide and arrange A small number of troops defended the Twilight Fortress to prevent Lake Duchy from reinforcements.
The Twilight Fortress belongs to the territory of Count Croya. After the start of the war, he will naturally take on the defensive task, and of course Heath will follow.
Earl Croya took off his gloves and flicked the dust from the masonry, and his right hand elbows across the city wall and looked into the distance, saying: "Philip Your Majesty’s army should have arrived at the Sano River now. If the Lakers do not plan to fight alone, they must help Gidean guard the lower reaches of the river bank before Philip Your Majesty takes over the moat of the Saino River."
"They need to arrive at the Saino River by the end of the month at the latest. The defense against Gidean is meaningful, so they have to beat us this week at the latest. Today is Monday, then I think they should be there in three or four days."
Heath eyebrows raised: "Your Excellency means that it only takes three days for them to defeat us?"
Earl Croya laughed heartily: "No, they will know in three days that this war from the very beginning, they have no chance of winning."
Earl Croya's confidence is not without reason.
Lake Duchy’s soldiers are over 1500 impossible, and the number of soldiers brought by the Earl Croya to the fortress alone has reached 800. One after another, vassals were summoned and rushed around with their troops.
In addition, the number of sorcerers, Lake Duchy, is temporarily unknown, but Tower of Shadows has dispatched a total of 11 apprentices in addition to Heath, and they are on their way to the fortress.
The strength of the two sides is not equal, the sorcerer here may also have the advantage, and also occupy the advantage of the fortress.
How do you lose? How does wyvern lose when riding a face?
...
In the evening, 6 apprentices arranged by Tower of Shadows arrived at the fortress, three men and three women.
Two of them are familiar with Heath. One is Weasley, who was at the same time as him, and the other is Twen, a low-level apprentice who was admitted to the hospital a year earlier. Twen is also currently in the fortress. The second lower apprentice besides Heath.
Twin and Weasley are both types who can't live without a woman for a day. Just after dinner, they left the three witches quietly asking Heath about the nearby Fengyue place.
Heath frowned: "The brothel? How could there be that kind of place here?"
The most taboo thing about marching in war is meeting idiot teammates. These two pig heads make Heath inexplicably possessed An ominous premonition.
Twen said: "How could it not? You must know, right? Please, it's hard to tell once, I want to find two virgins to be cool."
Heath coldly said: "I don't know."
Both of them are obviously very dissatisfied with Heath's attitude, but he didn't say much because of his genius name.
"Well, let's go and ask the human earl ourselves."
Immediately, the two went to the earl Croya.
As the commander-in-chief of the army, Heath thought that Earl Croya would smoothly find an excuse to push this matter aside and stabilize them.
But what was absolutely unexpected was that the earl, instead of doing so, enthusiastically gave them an idea, and even arranged a pair of soldiers to escort them to the nearby town for fun that night.
A witch and a witch who wanted to go shopping in the town were also abducted in the middle.
The six wizards lost four all at once, and the remaining two witches are still the type that only masters a little low-level healing spell. In the end, the only warrior is Heath.
However, in the face of such a loss, Earl Croya still has a relaxed look: "Relax, Heath wizard, this battle has never been evenly matched, even without the help of magic, we can still win the ticket. "
I don’t know what’s going on, Heath’s unclear feeling is getting more and more serious...
...
Sometimes it really is What are you afraid of?
On the morning of the 2nd day, the ambiguity in Heath's heart really came true.
In the early morning of 2nd day, Lake Duchy's army arrived on the battlefield.
However, the number of people is far from the 1,500 people predicted by the Earl of Croya...
The next day, early morning, the Twilight Fortress.
"This...is this an army of the Lakers?"
"How could there be that many?"
"No...No Say there are only 1,500 people?"
The murmurs of panic were one after another, and the soldiers on the battlements all face deathly pale, looking at the front shiver coldly in fear.
In the wilderness in front, there is a massed army, densely packed layer upon layer, at a glance, it is so dark that there will be no more than 10,000 people.
On the side of the battlement, Heath pressed the stone brick with one hand, looking ugly at the scene ahead.
Although last night he had a foreboding that this trip would not go smoothly, but when he really saw this exaggeration today, he was still very speechless.
He dissatisfiedly said to the Count Croya next to him: "This is the 1500 people the Earl refers to?"
The Count Croya who just came to the battlements was also caught up in this scene. Shocked, his face had long since lost the contempt of yesterday.
Faced with Heath's question, he was totally unable to answer.
He just grabbed a soldier and said: "Ring the bell, gather! Call everyone up, immediately, immediately!"
