The sudden situation on the battlefield disrupted all deployments, and Brando realized for the first time that the so-called sophisticated plan is basically equivalent to the decree of the King of the Road Hessen I under the command art of this era-just a joke. The aristocratic army, especially those who follow the knight’s old command structure and procrastinated discipline between subordinates and subordinates, are simply the enemy of all commanders. Under such circumstances, what you have to consider is not to pray that there will be no mistakes in which link, but Fortunately, there were no mistakes in that link. The more complex the plan, the more loopholes.
The Slovak region is located to the north of the Silman Valley, southeast of the Tosangkad Forest, at the end of the Chablis Mountains in the Golan-Elsen Province. This low valley and hills cut off the Walenden Lake plain The connection with the Silman Valley is like a natural barrier. Several tributaries that flowed into Lake Valendon crossed the hills, forming several relatively gentle valleys. The army of blood rods was advancing along these valleys. Ke Wen's men had already followed them to find out the direction of their marching, and detected them. These bone frames may pass between the two valleys of Crivan and Chenier.
Krivan and Chenier are the two most important passages in the Slovak hills. These two river valleys are surrounded by the Jondel Mountains and are distributed northward in a forked shape. There are many small hills in between. The gentle slopes are at this time. There are also many large linden forests that can be used for ambushes. This place is almost an ideal place to ambush. The blood rod never seems to have considered that an allied army from Lantonilan and Vieiro will ambush him here. The previous victories made him arrogant, so only in history. Will break the halberd here.
In Brando’s original plan, the four armies of Vieiro, Lantonilan, Tonigel, and the Highland Knights set up ambushes in the two valleys of Crivan and Chenier, opening a radius of about twenty miles. Encircling the circle, Lantonilan’s army was the first to attack, and then Vieiro and Tonigel’s cavalry-based army circled to the more gentle river valley to attack, completely encircling the army of blood sticks.
But the current situation has developed beyond everyone's expectations from the beginning.
The army of blood rods was divided into two, distributed in the valley about seven or eight miles apart. When a forward wing encountered Vieiro's army, the rebel knights of Vieiro's army could not hold back the excitement in his heart. Preemptively launched the offense. The direct result was that the long-swept blood rod army did not enter the encirclement at all. Except for a small part of the vanguard, its main force was in fact still in front of Lantonilan and Vieiro’s army, and it was far from Tonigel’s. The army was farther away, and an ambush became a blockade from the very beginning.
What's more difficult is that Vieiro's army has been completely exposed to the vision of Madara's army. They have lost a wing, and their morale is accelerating. For others, especially Lantonilan’s army and the Highland Knights, they didn’t even know what was going on on their side. They immediately changed their operations after learning that Vieiro’s army was preemptively attacking. The plan tried to get to the side of the blood rod army one step ahead, but he didn't know that the lid of this encirclement had already been pricked out by his own people.
Eco still took a few of his cavalry in the mountain forest and hurriedly hurried, can only pray that Vieiro's damn knights will not poke too big a basket, but for his little wish, Maca Luo and Ouding are not very optimistic. They are too aware of the private armies of these nobles. If they are allowed to pursue the victory or stick to the spot, or they can still play a 70% to 80% strength, but once they become a positive attack, they are afraid It will collapse in an instant.
I have to say that these two old nobles are very insightful about some of the love and maladies in this land of their own kingdom. Although they have not seen it with their own eyes, they have guessed it.
Among all the parties involved in this battle, Brando was the first to obtain reliable information through the magical messaging under Kewen. Magical messaging is still very rare in the war of this age, because magical messaging can only be transmitted. Words and Warnd’s decryption technology is really terrifying: with a magical existence similar to'deciphering the ciphertext’, it can directly restore the original intent of the ciphertext when the ciphertext was written, and commanders are naturally unwilling to let themselves The command leaked into the opponent's hands.
But in fact, "deciphering the ciphertext" is not without flaws. On the contrary, the method of restraint is actually very simple. As long as the people who send the message are divided into two groups, one person is responsible for writing the ciphertext, and the apprentice of the wizard who performs magical transmission only needs to copy it. In this way, the person sending the ciphertext only has the original text of the ciphertext in mind, and will not reveal the hidden secrets. It’s just that the so-called simplicity is after understanding the principle of this magic. The problem is that in this era, most of the mortal’s understanding of magic is still at the level of knowing it but not knowing why. The silver wizards call them quack warlocks. Inherited wizards pay more attention to the knowledge contained in magic. Buja people are mostly scholars, while most human wizards are magicians. This is the gap.
In fact, the wizards of Buja have long found a way to restrain this magic, but this is their secret, and it will not be popularized in the army of the Dark Iron People until after the Slate War. But Eruin now has an existence outside of Brando's situation, so the so-called "barrier of insight" has become non-existent, and he directly plagiarized the wizards' methods.
It’s just that this method has no technical content, it’s very simple to spread, and once magical communication becomes popular, countries with strong military power and large armies like Madara and Cruz will benefit far more than Eruin. Therefore, Brando has never publicly used this technology in the military, and is often only used in some intelligence exchanges with his confidants. Unless he is convinced that Eruin will be used in large-scale wars to take advantage of enough to offset the subsequent impact, otherwise he will never easily spread this secret for the Buga.
In fact, Brando had already settled in his mind, but the war with the blood rod had never been so serious.
He put away Cagliese’s magic letterhead in the drizzle, Madara defeated Vieiro’s old knight army, not what he expected, but Vieiro’s commander dared to take those from below The Hu from the knights assembled and put them on the left wing. Such boldness still made him a little bit dumbfounded. "I don't know if this is overconfidence, or the self-cultivation of the actors." Brando thought to himself, if those things were handed over to him, he would rather send them to Madara to be an enemy to him than he would. The reason for commanding those things and using'things' to describe the rebel knights is that Brando was really impressed by these so-called army composed of small landlords, ruined knights, and opportunists. They ruined the north in history. Noble, just like today's stupidity. "But the commander may also be in a dilemma. At least in name, these knight masters are still vassals of Grand Duke Vieiro. They are willing to wave the flag and shout for their master. That is loyalty and righteousness. If Grand Duke Vieiro dares not accept it, then his The prestige is gone."
Brando knows the rules of the game for these old nobles, knights and lords, which are the cornerstones of this era. But unfortunately, these cornerstones have been shaken from the bottom of them. "Lords, the era that belongs to you is over—" At this time, he still had time to think of a verse from a famous bard in the game.
Brando was actually a little grateful.
Fortunately, Madara defeated Vieiro. What he was most afraid of was Archduke Vieiro’s army attacking first to make the blood rod alert in advance. This dark lord, who has always been known for his cautiousness, would turn the army and retract him. Going to the Mann area, if that happens, things will be troublesome, because there is still a Jean Denel in Eruin at this moment. They are now ambushing the blood rod to fight a time difference. If the blood rod is defeated in the ambush, then let De Nell After Nell lost foreign aid and retreat to Madara, his morale collapsed naturally.
But if the blood rod curled up in Silman and gave Jean Denel a hope to break through in this direction, then the trio of Tonigel, Vieiro, and Rantonilan would be in the hills where there is no shop in front of the village. Can't hold on for much time.
Once Denell and the blood rod were allowed to confluence, the chaos in the Southern Territory would not end until then.
But Brando was inexplicably surprised that he guessed the rottenness of Vieiro’s vassal knight’s army, but did not guess that they could be rotten to this extent. When Cagliari’s letter said that Vieiro’s left wing was When hundreds of skeletons were defeated, he almost thought it was a joke. But it was impossible for Cagliice to joke with him at this time, so Vieiro's army was really defeated like a miracle.
It's just miraculous stupidity.
He flicked the letter paper, then walked to the side, grabbed the saddle and turned on his horse. Under the rainy curtain, the army was pulling out, and everyone was getting on their horses one by one; further away, Tonigel’s young wizard group was being led by Shire. Assembled below, the wizards climbed onto the phantom war horses summoned by magic, wearing uniform silver-gray robes and hoods, turning their eyes to this direction. Among them, there were those originally from the mercenary group. Warlocks, young people who have completed their apprenticeship trials from Valhalla and Fir Castle, and a small group of druids brought by Quinier, and finally some female faces. Most of these female wizards have pale faces and expressions. Indifferent, with high cheekbones and a mean face, they are witches from all over the world. They were persuaded by Barbasa and the other two witches to join Brando—or the dark dragon in the future.
But anyway, after these people put together a piece of cake, Brando finally had the first magician group in the South. There are a total of 120 people, and their strengths are uneven. One quarter of them are warlocks and wizards from various mercenary groups, two quarters are from Tonigel and the academic school of the Royal Knights Academy, and the last four are One is witches and druids. This group of magicians looks like a group of beggars in the eyes of the regular army, but it is the first time in the South.
The head of the magician group is naturally Shire, but the deputy is Antitina. Ever since the strangers took her as an apprentice, Antitina began to study magic knowledge systematically, although now She's still an apprentice, but her skills in magical technology are beyond the reach of most people. Brando is very clear about the future of the magician group, so it is only natural for Antitina to sit in this position.
Then there is the wind shooter.
The legendary army born out of the Silver Elf Ringsong Legion, the Princess Guard, their commander—whether present or in the past—Medissa sits on a unicorn with a spear hung on a saddle, her hands folded in prayer. . Just like the warriors of the ancient silver elves, pray for the heroic spirits of the sages in the forest to protect them and make them brave and fearless to defeat the enemy. It was also a prayer for the souls who died in the war, the silver elves’ singing was ethereal and ethereal, and all the tree elves archers stopped and listened, with a look of worship on their faces.
As for their deputy, Fina has long been the most ardent fan of the little silver elf princess.
Among all the troops under his control, only the White Lion Guard is the quietest and orderly. Those young people from Tonigel seem to have been accustomed to the atmosphere under Brando, and those who mobilized and supplemented from the original White Lion Army The non-commissioned officers and soldiers who came in were full of curiosity, but they all had a sharp sword in their eyes. This sharp sword was shining in Freya's hands. Since this sword reappeared, the new white lion has a soul. .
Their deputy commander, Kaglisi, is now far south in the Silman Hills, and naturally it is impossible to appear in this army.
And beside Brando, only Hippamira and Star are left. The former is wiping the thick surface of the mountain. The rain falls on the stone scepter, and the scepter emits a circle of cyan halo. , It's like life thriving in the soil, full of luxuriant aura. But the little fat dragon didn’t dare to say a word at all. He grilled Hippamilla’s shrimp. The priest girl didn’t trouble him at dinner, but just twisted it without saying anything. The mountain's preference went to the door.
We must know that Hippamira has benefited the most from the Battle of the Dead Frost Forest. At this moment, her strength has been restored to the level of element manifestation. Coupled with the almost invincible Gaia's scepter, Star's fate can be imagined, anyway from After that, it saw Hippamila like a mouse and a cat.
The last group of people to appear in Brando's vision was the Knights of the Knife of the Cruz people.
These proud knights passed by under the hill one by one, raising their swords to signal to him, although they were not many in number, only a few people understood the horror of this knight. Little Pello still wore his thick cloak, and the crossbow was inserted under the cloak. He raised his head and looked at Brando:
"My lord, is the news reliable?"
"Reliable," Brando replied. Little Pello showed a slightly surprised look. In this era, it is very difficult to follow the army of the undead. This difficulty mainly comes from two aspects. On the one hand, the black rose of Bromanto was very difficult. It rarely appears in the eyes of the world, and even in the eyes of Eruin, that dark country is also a disintegrated and weak country. Less than ten years before the first Black Rose War, the lords of Karasu were still Often led the army into the territory of Madara for retaliatory plunder.
Although the undead of that era were terrifying, the dark lords were like scattered sand. They even wished to see their colleagues being attacked by humans so as to take the opportunity to annex them. In that era, Madara used a lord to fight against the power of a kingdom of Eruin. Foolish dreams. Therefore, except for the civilians who were victims of the undead in the border area, in the mindset of the Eruin nobility, Madara is a weak, robber-like country, and they don’t understand everything about this country. , And disdain to understand.
The Black Rose War was a shocking nightmare for the entire Kingdom of Eruin. In fact, until now, the nobles did not know where they lost. The previous defeat of the Vieiro army against the blood rod can be Explain everything.
Therefore, this is a country of ignorance, which in itself is a mystery.
On the other hand, the huge difference between the undead and the living makes it very difficult for human scouts to approach the undead army. This problem was the most difficult problem to solve until Madara and St. Osor fought against each other. Although Madara had never bordered the Cruz Empire on land, the academics of Pello and the others, who came from a professional background, knew this very well, and were very skeptical of Brando's assertiveness.
Brando's self-confidence comes from knowledge that transcends the times. In the later generations, the wind elves have many ways to deal with these bones, and Kaglisi has him to teach him personally, it is not difficult to bypass the army of blood rods. At that time, he personally led the refugees to escape from Madara’s eyelids when he was in Buchi, but Kaglisi only led a few scouts to follow the army, which is even simpler, not to mention that Madara is also in this era. I don't understand that my investigative methods have so many loopholes.
Little Pello saluted the lord from a distance: "Since the lord is sure that the blood rod will never retreat for a while, then wait for our good news."
Brando nodded, and the young people of the Knights of Folding Swords pulled the hood of the cloak together under his gaze, turned around, and left to the south. But for a moment, only the shadow of a flying cloak was left in the rain. At this time Freya had come to the forefront of the White Lion Guard.
"Brando," she yelled, "Eco has contacted us."
"Then let's go," Brando replied vigorously, standing in the rain, "Let the knight masters of Vieiro understand that the times have abandoned them. Welcome to the future, this new era!"
Freya was slightly startled.
Charles blew a whistle and smiled: "Let's go, Freya, Lord Lord means that although he is a pig teammate, he still needs to be saved."
