Lorist began to design the earthen grenade. It was very simple. He poured out the granule gunpowder in those explosive bags, divided them into three or four parts, put them into the small pottery pots he collected, and then plugged in a matchstick. It was a so-so earthen grenade. It's finished. Although the power of the explosive pack is great, it is a bit bulky after all, and each person can carry two or three and it will be over. It's not a matter of weight, but of being inconvenient to move because of the hindrance. If a rocket is fired somewhere during the battle, the explosive pack will become a suicide pack, and Lorist and the others will become a joke.
Tried a few homemade grenades, although the power is not great, it is enough to meet Lorist's needs. The only thing to pay attention to is that the ignition rope must be thrown out immediately after burning one-third of the length, so as to ensure your own safety. On the contrary, El saw these earth-made grenades with bright eyes. He hoped that such earth-made grenades could be equipped with the Guards Corps, so that the soldiers would have another weapon for victory in their hands, whether in siege or defense battles.
Lorist told him helplessly that the gunpowder produced in the family territory could not meet such requirements at all, and it was already too difficult to guarantee the gunpowder demand of the North Sea Fleet and the three artillery battalions. The grenade was equipped with the family army, which dispelled El's fantasy of guard soldiers holding earthen grenades to kill all directions on the battlefield.
Reddy said: "Your Highness, since you have these small clay pots, leave it to me to raid Lindsayton Hill City, and you don't have to take risks."
Lorist shook his head: "The raid on Lindsayton Hill City did not use these earthen grenades made of clay pots to blow up people, it was just a harassment operation. Our purpose is to destroy the long-range attack weapons in the city and ensure that the artillery battalion Pass the avenue on the small stone hill in front of the side wall smoothly, arrive at the gate of Lindsayton Mountain City and capture the castle at the gate. If you are the only one who goes, you will probably be entangled by the great swordsman sitting in the mountain city and get into a hard fight. It will become a harassment battle. If I go, I believe that few great sword masters will appear in front of me, so that we can have time to destroy those long-range attack weapons."
Lorist was right. In fact, he brought Reddy, El, and six strong and agile family knights, each carrying around twenty small clay pots, from Lindsay under the cover of night. After climbing up the cliff on the back of Dunshan City, the enemies guarding the mountain city were just as he expected. After discovering that he, the newly promoted sword master, led the raid, none of the great sword masters and golden knights dared to rush up to melee. The only resistance was to order those The garrison soldiers rushed up to entangle them, and then used longbows or siege crossbows to cover a large area and shoot regardless of enemy or friend, intending to drive them down the city.
But Lorist opened the field of blood killing, whether it was the longbow's cover shot or the defensive crossbow's concentrated fire shot, they were all easily caught, but the garrison soldiers who rushed up suffered heavy casualties. After three or five times, no garrison soldiers were willing to rush forward to die. Even if the commander forced them with a sword, they couldn't get them to charge actively. Lorist's raiding team went from this side of the city wall to the side wall facing the avenue, and immediately destroyed nearly two hundred siege crossbows placed on the two sides of the city wall.
Then it was time for the grenadiers to perform. Reddy, Al, and the six knights lit the fire ropes on the small clay pots on the city wall and smashed them everywhere. The garrison soldiers gathered below the city were blown up by these earthen grenades and cried. mother. Although the earthen grenades made of these small earthen pots are not powerful enough to kill a large number of people in one blow, it is no problem to injure a dozen or so, and the screams and howls of the wounded garrison soldiers can be heard everywhere The whole mountain city was in chaos.
When Lorist and the others descended from the city wall and attacked the place where the trebuchets were placed in the city, there was also the roar of artillery at the gate of Lindsayton Hill City. The garrison of Lindsayton Hill City probably knew that the situation was over. They opened the other two city gates to the east and scattered. After a while, there were only wounded soldiers crying and wailing everywhere in the mountain city. There were still a few suspects. There was also a fire in the place where the warehouse was located. It is estimated that it should have been set by the retreating garrison troops.
The mountain city of Lindsayton, which was regarded as a natural danger by the business alliance, fell into the hands of the Norton family's armed forces. Lorist had been busy all night, and after handing over the aftermath to Schwader, he found a random room and fell asleep. Even though he was a sword master, he was exhausted after opening the Blood Killing Domain. Anyway, the Juggernaut is also a human being, not the Hulk or Superman. Opening the blood killing field on the city wall and receiving all the incoming feather arrows and crossbow arrows is also a great burden for Lorist, especially after running out the opening time of the blood killing field, Lorist feels particularly tired and overworked.
Sometimes Lorist doubts that the domain of the Juggernaut should be related to the spirit, just like after opening the blood killing domain on the city wall, whether it is densely covered feather arrows or powerful crossbow arrows, as long as it is close to the range of the blood killing domain, it will change. The score is clearly visible, whether it is the trajectory or the goal, it is vivid and clear under Lorist's induction. As a result, Lorist could easily fly or block it with his sword, and only then did Radial and the others stay safe. That's why Lorist would feel extremely tired after the activation time of the Blood Killing Domain was exhausted.
Lorist slept until the afternoon of the next day. After waking up, he felt extremely energetic. He tried to open the Blood Killing Field and found that the field had expanded by another meter or two. Could it be that every time the opening time of the field is exhausted and exhausted, the scope and duration of the field can be enhanced? It's a pity that the last time I had a shallow conversation with the Storm Sword Master, although I understood the basic system knowledge in some fields, I couldn't discuss it in depth. It is impossible to understand these things with the Storm Sword Master. And, but also unable to have a deep friendship. Perhaps after returning to the family territory in the future, he can do some experiments himself before he can draw a conclusion.
The arrival of Malek interrupted Lorist's thinking. He came to report the seizure of Lindsayton Hill. Although the fleeing garrison soldiers set fire to it when they evacuated, the fire was quickly extinguished by the Norton family soldiers who entered the city, and only a few granaries and a warehouse of military supplies were lost. Now that the various regiments of the coalition army have arrived in the mountain city one after another, Malek came to ask whether to continue the attack as planned.
Lorist waved his hand: "Since the battle has been entrusted to you, you don't have to worry about whether I'm there or not. You can just give orders. I trust your decision on what to do."
So Malek changed his original plan. Under the leadership of Reddy, the Flying Tigers and White Lions went to capture Serunega Province, because from the captured wounded soldiers, Malek got a message that the business The alliance has reassembled two legions as the main force of the newly formed commercial alliance armed forces. According to the battle report, they will come to support soon, and Serunega Province is where they will definitely pass.
Malek hopes that the Flying Tiger Legion and the White Lion Legion can intercept and defeat the two newly formed legions of the Commercial Alliance in Serunega Province, and completely break the courage of the Commercial Alliance and the Norton family to fight in the field. As long as the business alliance can turn into a tortoise, then the Norton family's armed forces can use artillery to blast away those tortoise shells one by one, reducing their own casualties.
The Guards Corps and the Freedom Alliance Armed Corps continued to attack Felton Bar Province, striving to occupy the territory of the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible. As for the remaining provinces of Tenaliga and Casiloda, it is entirely possible to march after occupying Feltonba and Serunica provinces. Nariq Province is much safer.
Three days later, Malek appeared in front of Lorist with a serious expression, holding a battle report. This was the battle report he had just received, and it was sent by the Guards. According to the battle report, they arrived at the towns and villages in Felton Bar Province, and found that the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce had completely withdrawn from Felton Bar Province, abandoning their own Chamber of Commerce territory, and they took everything they could take away and willing Those who followed them to evacuate. Nowadays, many towns and villages seem to be empty. Except for some old people, women and children who are unwilling to leave their homes, the entire chamber of commerce territory can be said to be empty, and the attack of the guards is simply an armed parade. What an enemy.
The Mayflower Chamber of Commerce ran away? Lorist was a little surprised. He never expected that the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce would have such efficient mobilization ability and decisiveness. In just a few days, he made the decision to abandon the Chamber of Commerce territory and evacuate completely. The organizational ability mobilized most of the people to follow them to evacuate. After a brief discussion with Malek, Lorist made a wrong decision. He ordered Elma to lead the guards to attack Tenerigue Province, blocking the way of the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce's evacuation troops.
From the map, the territory of these four provinces looks like a rhombus. After the occupation of Feltonba Province, the provinces of Serunica and Tenaliga are in the north, and the province of Casiloda is in the south. Lorist took it for granted that the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce's evacuation goal must be to return to the territory of the Merchant Alliance through Tenerige Province, because the north was the territory of the former Trimble Kingdom, and now it is the territory of the Double-headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce, which is the territory of the Commercial Alliance. Union heartland.
Lorist thinks that the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce will definitely go north to the territory of the Business Alliance to gather together with other chambers of commerce to keep warm. What is there in the south? Although there are more than a dozen provinces with large territories, most of the people who have been ruined by the business alliance are struggling to survive. If the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce goes to the provinces of South Fang, they must be out of their minds, because what they have to face is the Chicod Chamber of Commerce, a traitor who is about to leave the commercial alliance, and the central and southern regions that are eyeing the southern provinces of the commercial alliance. In the kingdom, it can be said that the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce will be surrounded by enemies when it goes to the south, and there are endless rebellions in the territory. No one with a brain would make such a decision to seek death.
That's why Lorist thinks that the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce's way of retreat must be in Tenariga Province. The Serunega Province has already encountered the invasion of the Flying Tiger Legion and the White Lion Legion. It is impossible for the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce to fall into the trap by itself. , then the only way to return to the territory of the Northern Business Alliance is Tenerig Province. It was only then that the order was issued for the Guards Corps to attack Tenerigo Province to intercept the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce's evacuation troops. As you can imagine, the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce's evacuation troops left Casiloda Province smoothly and arrived at the southern provinces. After the Norton family armed forces finally occupied Casiloda Province, they got the news and realized that they were beyond their reach.
Five days later, the Flying Tiger Legion sent a good news by sending an eagle message. The Flying Tiger Legion and the White Lion Legion used the strategy of ambush and pursuit to annihilate and defeat the two newly formed legions armed by the Business Alliance in one fell swoop. Drive the enemy out of Serunega Province. It can be said that the province of Serunica has also fallen into the hands of the Norton family's armed forces...
In the next two months, the Norton family armed forces spread across the four provinces and conquered the noble territories conferred by the business alliance one by one. The only regret was getting rid of the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce. At this time, Lorist had already received news that the withdrawal troops of the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce were heading to the southern provinces. However, just as Grand Duke Nicholas, the president of the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce, expected, the Norton family's armed forces were beyond the reach of the southern provinces, and they could not mobilize troops to pursue the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce, allowing the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce to escape. Doomed.
Perhaps the business alliance thought that the Norton family's armed forces would plunder these four provinces into a piece of white land just like the five provinces of the Faliqiu Plain, so they swallowed their anger and shrank in the business alliance's territory, vigorously building defensive facilities, digging trenches to cut off road traffic, and fortifying The sandbags were bombarded with fire cannons, and at the same time, personnel were recruited to expand the garrison to prepare for the attack, and a war propaganda was carried out on the site of the business alliance to resist the invasion of the Norton family's armed wild wolves, and they were always ready to give the invaders a head-on blow...
What the Business Alliance didn't expect was that the Norton family moved so fast. They had just occupied the entire territory of the four provinces in September, and on October 1st announced the four major duchies of Zikedo, Mockbee, Kabasi, and Samaria. The country is restored, and the territory includes the four newly occupied provinces and five provinces that have become white land around the Fali Hill Plain. On the same day, the remaining 16 kingdoms and grand duchies in the central and southern part of the continent announced that they had concluded alliances and mutual assistance agreements with these four newly restored countries and the Freedom Alliance, and signed the "Agreement of 21 Countries in the Central and Southern Gelinthian Continent". At the same time, it announced that it will send troops into these four countries to jointly defend against enemies who may invade in the future...
The business alliance is like a sap in the head. The enemy is the Norton Family Armed Forces and Freedom Alliance, as well as the Kingdom of Antinac. Why did it suddenly become the sixteen countries in the south-central region? As the coalition forces of the Central South Kingdom entered these four countries, the Norton Family Armed Forces, the Freedom Alliance Armed Legion and the White Lion Legion began to withdraw their troops back home with rich spoils. The Business Alliance hadn't recovered from the fact that the enemy they were facing had turned into the coalition forces of the Central South Kingdom. The two news from the southern part of the mainland in November made Grand Duke Camberlet vomit blood on the spot.
On October 1, the Chicod Chamber of Commerce announced that it would break away from the business alliance and become the Chicod kingdom independently. At the same time, two armed legions were dispatched to occupy the five provinces in the Zhoubian area that belonged to the business alliance. On October 10, the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce, which had evacuated to the southern provinces, also announced its independence from the Commercial Alliance as the Mayflower Kingdom, swallowing the remaining seven southern provinces of the Commercial Alliance. At the same time, the Storm Juggernaut, who has already left the business alliance, has accepted the amount of offering money provided by the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce. He announced the protection of the Mayflower Kingdom, and in one fell swoop eliminated the seven kingdoms in the south-central kingdoms that the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce occupied. The idea of peeping and annexing the territory of this province allowed the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce to gain a firm foothold in the southern part of the mainland.
After announcing its separation from the business alliance and the establishment of an independent country, the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce announced an alliance agreement with the Chickard Kingdom to help each other fight against any invaders targeting the two countries. At the same time, it also announced that it would send special envoys to the Freedom Alliance and various countries in the south-central region to reach an armistice and peace agreement with former enemies. The chief executive of the Liberty Alliance, Ledos, publicly expressed his welcome to the special envoy of the Mayflower Kingdom to come to Morente City for peace talks...
