Chapter 1085 War

According to the original situation, it would take at least four or five days to march from Taris to the Principality of Xila, traveling non-stop day and night, but it is different now. A highway network has been laid in the empire, and Tang En has also equipped them with Although a large number of transport vehicles cannot transport everyone there in one go, they can transport at least 3,000 people and supporting grain and grass in the early stage, and it only takes one day to reach the destination.

After sending a group of people, the transport vehicle can turn back and continue to pick up people. In this way, it only takes three days at most to deliver all the people, which saves at least half the time!

Just when Taris's soldiers started to set off, fierce resistance had already begun in the Principality of Sila...

Lakeside Town is located in the west of the Principality of Xila. There are about 50,000 permanent residents here, and it is considered a large town in the Principality of Xila.

But now, this small town with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate has been drowned in the flames of war.

The blazing flames ignited the entire town, and thick black smoke covered the sky. Heart-rending screams resounded in the streets and alleys. The heavy sound of horse hooves announced the approach of death. The ferocious expressions of the Grace Cavalry seemed to The smile of death spread the hot blood all over the town and dyed the lake red.

The townspeople were dominated by fear. They fled out of the town desperately, but how could human feet outrun the horses?

"Run away, run away, hahahaha——"

A Grace cavalryman caught up with the fleeing townspeople, and with one strike, a deep bone-visible wound was torn on the townsman's back. The horse's hoofs were raised high, and under the horrified gaze of the man , landed hard on his chest!

It was like being hit hard by a hammer, the sternum was completely shattered, the broken bones were inserted into the internal organs, and blood spurted out!

"Why don't you struggle more? It's so boring..."

The Grace Cavalry chopped off the man's head and then began to look for the next prey.

Suddenly, he saw a teenage girl. His eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed up and grabbed the little girl.

Another cavalryman rushed over, shouting, "Rowell, you bastard! Let her go! I found it first!"

Rowell scolded: "First come, first served! Whoever grabs it first belongs to whomever! If you want to search for prey for His Majesty Stanley, then go look for it yourself!"

After Rowell finished speaking, he took a closer look at the little girl he was carrying, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Not bad! Really good! Maybe there is a chance of getting promoted to a noble rank this time!"

It is an open secret that His Majesty Stanley likes little girls between ten and sixteen years old. Previously, a soldier caught a cute little girl Harriet and presented it to His Majesty Stanley. In Stanley's favor, after Stanley killed the previous little queen, he immediately made Harriet the new queen. At the same time, the soldier also received an award, directly received the title of baronet, and was also promoted to centurion and commander. A squad of a hundred people.

The soldier's treatment stimulated others. From then on, in order to please the king, all the people in the Kingdom of Grace began to work hard to collect beautiful and cute little girls for Stanley. Some parents even took the initiative to give away their own little girls. To Stanley, even as a parent, let alone these soldiers?

Seeing that their daughter was taken away, her parents panicked. Their love for their daughter defeated their fear of the Grace cavalry. They rushed to the horse, hugged the cavalry's legs tightly, and begged: "Please You! Food! Coins! Take them all! Please let her go! She is just a child!"

"You untouchables dare to touch me! Go to hell!"

Rowell sneered and chopped off the heads of the couple, completely ignoring the blood spraying on their bodies. He looked at the crying little girl and said with a smile: "What I want is a child."

Perhaps because he was a little upset by the crying, Rowell slapped the little girl on the back of the head, knocked her unconscious and put her on the back of the horse.

"You don't know how to be gentle!"

Another cavalryman sneered: "She is a gift to His Majesty Stanley. She may be our little queen in the future. If she blows the pillow with His Majesty in the future, maybe your head will be divided."

"We never knew what gentleness was."

Rowell raised his cavalry sword and chopped off the heads of the rushing militiamen. He laughed wildly and shouted: "We are noble and powerful Gris people! If you like it, grab it. If you like it, go to it." , Why should we learn from the Illus people! This world belongs to the Grace people! It belongs to His Majesty Stanley!"

The Grace cavalry not far away were all infected and roared loudly: "Ouch! Long live Grace! Kill all these untouchables! Steal everything they have!"

Facing the ferocious offensive of the Grace soldiers, the defense line held up by the Principality of Sila, which had less than 5,000 soldiers, kept retreating and retreating. After sending out all the soldiers, they even had to start compulsory recruitment. , recruited those farmers and sent them to the battlefield with a broken sword, not because the King of the Principality of Silla, Palmer Cecil, was too ruthless, but because they really had no choice.

He found that this year was different from previous years. The Grace Kingdom's offensive was particularly fierce. It didn't look like a grab-and-go attitude at all. Instead, it showed signs of a full-scale invasion that would directly destroy the Principality of Sila.

Therefore, in addition to forcibly recruiting militiamen to join the war, King Palmer of the Principality of Xila sent an urgent letter to the Illrus Empire as if he was burning his ass. Since he had always been inclined to surrender to Solant, Xila In more than a hundred years, the Principality of La has never established formal diplomatic relations with the Illrus Empire, so it is naturally impossible to leave emergency contact information (magic letters).

King Palmer was full of expectations and sent an urgent letter, and asked one of the only few Warcraft knights in the country to ride a flying Warcraft to Yalinx to deliver the letter. However, just in the few days when the letter for help was on the way, the war started. Lakeside Town began to spread rapidly. Towns such as Qingxi Town, Rose Flower Town, and Gravel City were quickly declared destroyed within three days. Ten thousand Grays warriors stretched the front line, formed an encirclement, and quickly approached Sila. The principality's capital is Sira.

When Alleria received a letter asking for help and arranged for Nitro to send troops to support the Principality of Sira, soldiers from the Kingdom of Grace had already surrounded the city of Sira. General Henry Cecil, who was leading the army, was standing They were calling for battle outside the city gate of Silas.

"Your Majesty! We can't hold on any longer!"

In the castle of Sila City, all the ministers looked pale, and they were obviously not in good condition.

"The residents in the city are in panic these days, and some people have begun to encourage them to open the city gates and voluntarily surrender to the Kingdom of Grace! If this continues, we will inevitably die!"

King Palmer gritted his teeth and cursed: "Those idiots! We are robbed by Grace every year. After so many years, don't you know what will happen if you surrender to the Kingdom of Grace? I have already sent an urgent letter for help. , now our only way to survive is to wait for the support of the Illrus Empire!"

"But Your Majesty, the Illrus Empire has just recovered Solant, and now the army is being reorganized. Even if they decide to send troops to support, it will take ten days to send troops from the nearest garrison location! Ten days are enough for the Grace Cavalry to step on Ping Xila!"

King Palmer yelled: "Shut up! You idiots! Even if we die, we will never bow to Grace! Don't you still know the consequences of opening the city gate!?"

King Palmer's eyes were black and his face was haggard. He was in an extremely bad mood these days. Many cities in Sila were declared to have been captured. More than half of the five thousand troops were killed and wounded in a series of defeats, and the number of enemies captured was less than a thousand. The number shows how far apart the combat effectiveness of the two sides is.

In this extremely bad situation, it is too difficult to get a glimmer of hope. The soldiers of the Kingdom of Grace will not give him that chance!

Now the city of Sila is overcrowded and their homes have been destroyed. A large number of refugees fled the war in carriages and hid in the city of Sila. Standing on the window sill of the castle, you can see the darkness of the city and the refugees crowding on the streets. Now in the city of Sila The number of people has far exceeded the city's capacity.

To put it bluntly, even if the soldiers of the Kingdom of Grace were unable to break through the city and just stayed there, in less than a month, the city of Sila would not be attacked and destroyed directly from the inside.

Reinforcements!

Where are the reinforcements? ?

…

Henry always felt that he was a very kind person. After the soldiers he led robbed things, they never left any trouble for the original owners. They burned everything cleanly and left nothing behind.

Therefore, the locations of the villages and towns on the border of the Principality of Sila will change every year, and those people may also understand his kindness, so the houses built are mainly made of wood, which is very easy to burn.

Well, it's great to think about each other like this.

He felt very gratified, so although this year's regular activities were a bit radical, he ordered that the soldiers were prohibited from abusing prisoners and the wounded. Although His Majesty Stanley's plan required a large amount of labor, these people in the Principality of Xila were really too weak, and he I don't like them at all, they are not as useful as kobolds - so for the wounded and prisoners, I just hack them all with a knife and that's it.

See, I didn't torture them. I'm so kind, right?

Henry gently stroked his sword and looked at the city of Silla not far away with a look of regret on his face.

It's a pity that they don't know how to cherish the opportunity given by such a kind general like me.

Then, they can only prove their mistakes with iron and blood.
