Edge of the Apocalypse -
Chapter 516: Irenal
Not long after, a temporary camp appeared on the battlefield opposite Bauhinia City. The camp was surrounded by unicorn soldiers. Not long after, another convoy arrived at the camp, seemingly their other logistical unit. There were also eight cannons following this logistics unit!
When the soldiers unloaded the supplies, an imposing aura rushed up from the main tent. That aura was overwhelming. Everyone knew that it was Guild Leader Barre's aura. Everyone knew that Barre's expression was very ugly when he returned. It was quite ugly.
Inside the main tent, Hagrid looked coldly at the man in front of him, his face flushed red, as if he was about to explode into a man-devouring beast. Barre waved his warhammer and roared, "You have no right to stand here, Hagrid." Look at your consecutive mistakes. First, you didn't arrive at the enemy's main city according to your schedule. Then, your artillery position was knocked out. Looking at the siege this morning, how much did we lose? "Those are all my good subordinates. They desperately attacked the enemy's gates and were about to break their defensive walls. You actually gave the order to retreat at this time!"
"Are you out of your mind? In that case, my soldiers have sacrificed their lives in vain!"
"Guild Leader Barre, I think you should calm down. Otherwise, I won't be able to continue our discussion." Compared to Barre's fury, Hagrid's attitude could only be described as cold.
"Calm down?" Barre laughed furiously and raised his warhammer, as if he was going to smash it with a hammer. A few dark lightning knights immediately stepped forward and surrounded Barre. Barre glanced at them and shouted angrily, "Get lost. If I really want to make a move, you trash won't be enough to die!"
The Dark Lightning Knight was also enraged by this insult, and his chest rose and fell. They pressed their hands on the hilt of the sword and were just about to draw their swords towards each other.
"Go down, don't be rude." Hagrid said as he waved his hand.
Only then did the Dark Lightning Knight retreat. Barre also put down his warhammer and said, "Hagrid, in short, you are no longer worthy of being a Commander-in-Chief. Get out of here now, and I will command the next battle."
"Commander Barre, it's Lord Daniel who decides whether I should scram or not, not you. Besides, you may not have seen better than me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have just smashed a section of their defensive wall, right?" Hagrid said slowly.
"What are you talking about!" Barre was furious and raised his warhammer.
As soon as the conflict broke out, one hand lightly pressed onto Barre's hammer, and the hammer was about to be pressed down. Barre turned around and said angrily, "Who the fuck wants to die …"
At the end of his sentence, Daniel's expressionless face slammed into his eyes, pushing back the string of vulgar words that Barre had just spoken. Haggers and the Dark Lightning Knight had already half knelt down and bowed, so Barre hurriedly retreated. With one hand on his chest, he half-knelt down and said, "Lord Daniel, when did you come?"
'"Just as you're furious and want to kill the Commander-in-Chief I personally arranged. When will you be able to restrain your anger, Barry? Learn from Haggers, as the Commander-in-Chief, you should have more mansion. Otherwise, the enemy will see what you have planned and how to fight this battle." After Barre finished speaking, Daniel's gaze landed on Hagrid. "I heard something from outside the tent just now. Coincidentally, Barre and I also have the same question. Commander Hagrid, why did we retreat when our army was working so hard to reach the gate?"
Hearing that, Barre sneered and looked at Haggers gloatingly.
"Lord Daniel said that our enemies are not only strong, they are also very resilient. Therefore, this subordinate believes that it is very difficult to defeat them with just one or two attacks. Even if we can defeat them, we will suffer heavy losses. Therefore, the essence of this tactic is to sharpen our words."
"This morning's attack, this subordinate spared no effort, in order to create psychological pressure on the enemy. After the attack, they retreated, not wanting to force the enemy into a hurry. Afterwards, I will send out a series of attacks to wear down their willpower, combat strength, material consumption, and so on. Only when their morale has fallen to the bottom and the defensive walls and other defensive measures have been almost torn down by us will we be able to completely destroy them! "
Daniel nodded and said to Barre, "Commander Haggers, do you understand?"
Barre wanted to say something else, but Daniel's eyes turned cold and he suppressed his words. Daniel said, "Commander Haggers, you did a good job. Continue to work hard like this." As you said, it's important to wear away the will of the enemy, especially an opponent like Allen. It was indeed difficult to kill him on the battlefield without exhausting him from spirit to body. One must know that a person as resilient as him can maintain a strong counter-attack under many circumstances. "
"In the next two days, you have to sharpen the spirit of those fellows in front of you. When they lose all their spirit, it will be the time for me to take action. Ellen would never have imagined that this attack on the Bauhinia was actually aimed at killing him. When he is exhausted, and Barre and Captain Haggers hold the experts beside him, I will personally send the young knight on his way. "
Hagrid nodded his head in agreement, but Barre didn't take it seriously. Daniel played such a big game of chess, but in the end, it was only to deal with Alan. But Daniel didn't think so. In his mind, Alan was much more threatening than Ou Ban. He had a hunch that if he allowed the young knight to grow up, neither he nor Ou Ban would be able to suppress him in the future.
Therefore, he had to take advantage of this opportunity to kill him, even if he had to pay a higher price.
"Sir Daniel, according to our information, the Ark Harbor has sent troops this morning. If Earl Oban hurries at full speed, he may enter the battlefield in three days." Hagrid reminded.
"Don't worry, I know that Ou Ban will definitely take action, so I've already made some arrangements. Commander Haggers, you just need to do your job. Don't worry too much about the rest." Daniel called Barry again, "Come, get me a set of equipment for an ordinary soldier."
Barry nodded and left the tent with Daniel. After leaving the main tent, Daniel said to Barre, "Don't clash with Hagrid for the next period of time."
"But my lord, he …"
Daniel patted his shoulder and said indifferently, "I know what you're trying to say, Barry. One thing you have to know is that no matter how powerful Hagrid is, you're the only one I trust."
Hearing his words, the anger on Barre's face dissipated. He nodded and said, "This subordinate will follow Lord to the death."
"I see. Go and get me a set of equipment. I'll be a soldier for Lord Haggers in a few days."
When his gaze crossed a mountain, the world suddenly became clear. Ceglis looked behind him. Behind him was a large primeval forest. There were some strange trees that towered into the clouds. Their trunks were very thick and long, but their canopies were disproportionately small. Such strange trees caused quite a bit of trouble for Ceglis, because these strange trees would produce fruits that were half a meter tall and had incomparably tough vines hanging down from them. When the fruit ripens, it drops, but with the help of the vine, it doesn't fall to the ground.
Only when the fruit is truly ripe will it fall to the ground, and the vines pulling them will break because they cannot bear the weight of the fruit, and the fruit will fall safely onto the soft ground covered with fallen leaves. However, this fruit, which was covered in lumps on the surface, was not unpleasant to eat. When they landed on the ground, they would crack open and then some humanoid creatures would emerge from it, but their bodies were covered in gray hair.
Ceglis had been wandering around the various galaxies for quite some time, but he had never seen any of these creatures before. These grey-haired humanoids were as sensitive as dogs and as violent as bloodthirsty Thorned Dragons. When Ceglis passed through the primeval forest behind him, he accidentally bumped into a group of such grey-haired creatures that appeared from the ripe fruits. As a result, he was treated as a fresh and delicious prey.
A bloody clash broke out. After killing the grey-furred monsters, Ceglis discovered that some tree roots that wriggled like insects would pop out from the ground. They dragged away the gray-furred monster's corpse. If the pool of blood on the ground was larger, the roots of the trees would even absorb blood. The smallest of these wriggling roots was the size of an adult's thigh, and the largest one was like an earthdragon that Ceglis had seen on the planet of the desert, with a body as thick as an oil bucket.
Apart from the Blood Draining Tree and the Gray-furred Monster, he had also seen other strange creatures along the way. Ceglis could not imagine what kind of planet this was. There were civilized worlds dominated by humans and heterosexuals, as well as unimaginable wild societies made up of all sorts of strange life forms.
If possible, Ceglis really didn't want to make such a trip, because in that primeval forest, he did feel a few terrifying auras that could threaten him. Ceglis did not know that the primeval forest he passed through was called Irenal, an old saying that meant "the courtyard of the Vengeance Goddess."
Just like the legendary Vengeance Goddess of the Bailey Empire, the terrifying forest known as Elinor contained all kinds of ferocious creatures. The powerful auras of life that Ceglis sensed were enough to be classified into super dangerous species by the Earth Federation, and they were the top ones. However, dangerous species from other planets, especially the top super dangerous species, rarely gathered together like Irene.
Super-dangerous species all had their own strict domain concepts, and their domains were usually exceptionally vast. Therefore, there were very few opportunities for super-dangerous species to meet up with each other. If they met occasionally, an endless war would break out.
However, Irene's super dangerous species were actually able to inhabit the forest together. No matter how wide this primeval forest was, it should still be measured in tens of thousands of acres.
No matter what, Ceglis had already passed through the forest. Beneath his eyes was a plain, and a sudden shadow of his universe starship in the sun.
Seeing this starship, Ceglis seemed to be able to see Alan's doomsday!
In the main city of the Bauhinia, Alan had just eaten some medicine prepared by Baggins to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. He followed the instructions of the Pharmacist Master. After taking the medicine, he sat quietly for a moment and circulated his Origin Energy in his blood vessels with a will to speed up the use of the medicine, so that he could quickly cure the hidden wound he had suffered from fighting Barre earlier. Just as he opened his eyes, he heard a knock on the door. After opening the door, Rola was standing outside.
"How are your injuries?" Zora asked.
They were currently in a military camp on the outskirts of the city, so their rooms were naturally not as spacious as in the City Lord's Mansion. With Alan's status, the room he was assigned was only a single room. In the crude room, there was only a bed and table. There was also a small locker, and then there was nothing else.
After Alan pulled Ruo in, he found that there wasn't even a chair, so he could only let her sit on the bed. He stretched his shoulders and said, "A slight injury won't get in the way."
"Who hurt you?"
"Barre, Guild Leader of the Unicorn."
Jorah nodded and said, "Daniel's operation this time was really strange. The other party's commander didn't use Barre, but a man I've never seen before. By the way, do you still seem to know him?"
'"His name is Haggers. He is the commander of the knights of the Black Iron Castle in the border area. I previously made an agreement with their lord not to fight in the border area. But I didn't expect that Haggers would turn to Daniel and be appointed commander of this operation by Daniel." Alan briefly explained Hagrid's identity.
"How is the battle damage?" He asked.
"Soldiers are expected to suffer losses, but there are several gaps in our defensive wall. Especially the section you're in charge of, the entire defensive wall has collapsed. Now we can only use sandbags and stones to temporarily plug the gap. As for the trenches outside the city, more than half of them have been buried. I expect it to be cleaned up before sunset tonight, but what I'm worried about is not the damage, but the morale of the soldiers. "
Jorah smiled bitterly and said, "We've probably made you laugh. As you can see, we're just an army trained in a barracks. We've never experienced a war like this before." We don't have much experience in battles. What's worse is that our opponent in the first battle ran into a strong opponent like Daniel. To be honest, everyone's spirits were greatly weakened. The fierce attack of the enemy in the morning made the soldiers feel suffocated.
"Fortunately, you and your men are here. If you hadn't destroyed their artillery positions, we would have fought even harder."
"Don't worry, as long as you survive this war, your Abyss Scaled Belle will become a truly powerful army. Only after experiencing life and death will your subordinates grow." Alan smiled.
"I hope so too …"
Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside the window. It sounded like someone was arguing about something. The sound grew louder and louder. The last shot rang out from outside, and Alan frowned.
