Chapter 1021: The Fall of the City, Hastings' New King

The battle on the border of Hastings ended with the complete annihilation of the evil god's army and the tragic loss of the El Fortress of Hastings.

Lost the Fortress of El.

The road to Hastings capital is undefended.

Alpha's cavalry can march straight into the city of Hastings.

When the news came back.

The nobles of Hastings Capital and the heroes sent by the evil god immediately fell into chaos.

The nobles who had originally submitted to the evil god began to have second thoughts.

It was the King of Hastings.

Because it has already been controlled by the evil god.

At this time, he was urgently discussing the next plan with the messenger of the evil god.

"Hasting's elite main force was all killed in battle at the border."

"The previous actions against the rebels caused heavy losses to the local nobles in Hastings."

"Even if we are now recruiting nobles to join the war."

"It is also difficult to train enough elite soldiers."

"I think Hastings has lost its value."

"While I am still the King of Hastings, the nobles still fear me."

"Issue a decisive order to forcibly recruit the nobles and civilians of Hastings and send them to the Kingdom of Light."

The consequences of this kind of migration due to war are extremely terrible.

Migrating in a hurry, not to mention the attacks by the Alpha Cavalry along the way.

Even without the attack.

The losses along the migration route alone were enough to cause heavy casualties among the migrating civilians.

No one would leave their homeland and migrate to another country unless it was a desperate moment.

And obviously.

Even survived the migration.

After arriving in the Kingdom of Light, these ordinary people who left their homes would not have a good ending.

The most likely thing is to pick up a spear and become cannon fodder.

Even nobles lost their fiefdoms.

The ending won't be good.

King Hastings' suggestion was to push the commoners and nobles who followed him into the fire pit.

Before, King Hastings would not have done such a stupid thing.

But after believing in the evil god, everything changed.

The messenger of the evil god was very interested in King Hastings's suggestion.

He knows it too.

The defeat of El Fortress caused heavy losses to the God.

These legions that suffered damage in battle can be said to be the few mobile forces in the hands of the gods.

After the mobile corps is gone.

The gods can only switch to the defensive stage in their war against Fang Yuan.

On the border of the Kingdom of Leyte.

Countless castles and fortresses are being built at a rapid pace.

The gods were ready to use the solid castle defenses to block Fang Yuan's attack.

Under the castle, consume Fang Yuan's mobile forces.

Wait until the strength of both sides returns to balance before planning a counterattack.

The Kingdom of Light has become a salient point of defense.

The Hastings Kingdom has been abandoned by the God.

Even the temple of the harvest goddess has begun to migrate secretly.

Originally, the gods were planning to clear out Hastings.

Kill all the nobles and commoners.

Don’t let this country’s population and resources become Fang Yuan’s war potential.

The slaughter army sent by the evil god is ready to set off.

But at this time, he heard King Hastings' advice.

The messenger groaned.

It turns out that the Goddess of Harvest had the same plan, but it was rejected by the other gods.

They were afraid that if they migrated too slowly, they would be intercepted by Fang Yuan.

But the current intelligence.

After Fang Yuan's army captured the El Fortress.

No more troops were sent out, but instead a long period of rest and recuperation was entered.

Take advantage of this gap.

They could indeed migrate the population to the Kingdom of Leyte.

In this way, not only can the migrant workers needed by the Kingdom of Light be supplemented.

Nobles can also become death warriors stationed in the Death Castle.

It's always much more cost-effective than killing them yourself.

Furthermore.

Even if they fail to migrate, they can be killed on the spot.

It's better than slaughtering village after village.

The efficiency will be much higher.

Again!

She is the daughter of the Harvest Goddess.

Now, there are less than 10,000 soldiers left under the goddess' command.

If we could take a large number of civilians and nobles away from Hastings.

In the future, the goddess will also be able to select some of them and train an indigenous army.

In this way, you can have a greater say among the gods.

For various reasons, the messenger decided to change the plan set by the gods.

"Your Majesty."

"Then do as you wish."

"From now on, mobilize everyone in the Hastings Kingdom immediately."

"No matter if they are commoners or nobles."

"Begin migration immediately, target the Kingdom of Light."

"If you don't obey my orders, no matter if you are a noble or a commoner, you will be killed without mercy."

In Hastings.

The king and the nobles govern the country together.

If the king issues an order that is absurd.

The nobles have the power to refuse implementation.

This is the unspoken rule between the king and the nobles.

So the king issued this unreasonable order.

Refusal of execution is inevitable.

After the nobles confirmed it repeatedly.

After getting indeed from the king.

soon.

Hastings was in turmoil.

The nobles petitioned the king to revoke the order.

He expressed his determination to defend the capital to the death and live and die with Hastings.

The evil god's messenger had already expected this.

He decisively dispatched the army from the Kingdom of Light to suppress the rebellion in the territories of various nobles.

Just a few days.

Hundreds of nobles were killed within the Kingdom of Hastings.

This is a retrograde move.

This immediately triggered the anger of the nobles.

Since there is no way to survive here.

They surrendered to the third prince.

All of a sudden.

Documents of surrender from nobles across Hastings flew to the El Fortress like pieces of paper.

Inside the fortress.

Guderian also knew about the stupid moves within the Kingdom of Hastings.

As the commander of the Alpha Legion front line.

I have to admit, this was a victory that was snatched up from nowhere.

The Kingdom of Hastings could be taken almost without bloodshed.

It turned out that he was thinking of relying on Heidi's hidden spies and the third prince.

Convince the nobles to surrender.

Try not to send troops as much as possible and try to gain more support from nobles.

In this way, the war potential of the Hastings Kingdom will not be consumed.

After taking over, they can then recruit soldiers and continue the war.

There is no need to consume the war potential between themselves and Hastings because of resistance in various places.

Although Guderian is not afraid of death.

But it would be better if fewer people died.

They have been secretly working on this plan for a long time.

This is also the reason why we have not advanced yet.

These days, the results achieved are not small.

At least most of the towns on the plain in front of the El Fortress chose to surrender secretly.

The rest are sitting on the fence and are rather ambiguous.

Demanded that Guderian not enter their territory.

Originally, Guderian didn't want to pamper them and planned to send troops to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

To intimidate these nobles.

But I never expected it.

Don't wait to do it yourself.

The Hastings Kingdom took the initiative to offer a great assist.

I saw letters falling like snowflakes.

The third prince took the initiative to find Guderian and repeatedly confirmed the accuracy of the news.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

Although he knew the Alpha Kingdom, it would definitely help him take down Hastings.

He was destined to become the king of Hastings.

But I never expected it to be so easy.

Looking at the letter in my hand.

The third prince didn't know whether to be happy or sigh.

At this moment.

Guderian looked at the third prince and said.

"From the contents of the letter."

"Hastings is doing better than we thought."

"But there is also news that the evil god's messenger is ready to take action."

"They brought a large number of troops from the Kingdom of Light."

"Trying to forcibly relocate the nobles and commoners of Hastings Kingdom."

"We simply can't let them do this."

"I have decided to send troops immediately."

"Take over Hastings Kingdom as soon as possible."

"Third Prince, you are the future king of Hastings."

"From now on, you will assist Heidi in contacting the nobles of Hastings."

"Let them make their stand clear as soon as possible and send troops to serve as the vanguard of our army."

As a qualified commander.

Guderian knew.

The nobles' promises are not to be trusted.

Until the other party sends troops, their words cannot be trusted.

They are now forced into a desperate situation.

If there were other opportunities, I'm afraid he would encourage the third prince to betray.

So at this time, let the third prince follow Heidi.

Let Heidi use puppet potion to control these surrendered nobles.

Guderian can rest assured.

soon.

Spies from the El Fortress began to enter the Hastings Kingdom.

They held the potion in one hand and the third prince's letter of appointment in the other.

If you don't accept the potion, you can't become a noble under the Third Prince.

Although the nobles knew that drinking the potion would definitely not be a good thing.

But compared to following King Hastings to the Kingdom of Light.

After weighing the two.

The nobles all chose to drink the potion.

And within just half a month.

Guderian was in the El Fortress and did not send out even a single soldier.

He successfully conquered the nobles on the plain leading to the capital of Hastings.

Then he did it in the name of the third prince.

An army of three hundred thousand men was recruited from these nobles.

Except for a small number of nobles and knights who are elite.

The main forces are untrained farmers or hired mercenaries.

Naturally, the combat effectiveness is not that high.

But enough quantity is enough.

Subsequently.

Guderian personally led the reorganized border knights as the main force.

They claim to have an army of one million.

They pressed forward towards King Hastings in a huge crowd.

At this moment.

Whether it is Hastings or the messenger of the evil god.

Everyone knew that Hastings had no hope left.

The defeat is set.

Those nobles who did not want to retreat and were unwilling to retreat.

When the third prince led a million troops to attack the royal capital.

They all raised the banner of rebellion.

He personally brought knights and soldiers to join the third prince's army.

And every new noble took the puppet potion voluntarily.

When the army led by the third prince arrived at the capital of Hastings.

Except for Guderian's 30,000 border knights.

A corps of peasant soldiers formed by the nobles of the Kingdom of Hastings.

The number actually reached over a million!!!

Their joining directly led to the failure of the plan of King Hastings and the evil god's messenger to relocate Hastings nobles and civilians.

Hastings Royal Capital.

"Your Mightiness."

"The nobles. The nobles are beginning to betray."

In the royal capital, there are still some nobles who are loyal to the king.

After the third prince’s million-strong army appeared.

They were also trembling with fear.

At this time, the king looked at the messenger of the evil god.

"Sir, we are now~"

The evil god's messenger was also very depressed.

He hadn't expected the situation in Hastings to change so quickly.

The migration of nobles and civilians was just the migration of a part of the area near the royal capital.

But I didn't expect it.

This led to a rebellion by nobles across the country.

"Damn it."

"Or maybe our military strength is not enough to suppress the nobles' rebellion."

The evil god's messenger cursed angrily.

"Forget it, there is nothing we can do. We can only withdraw."

"Send the order, take the king's trusted men and retreat immediately."

"Wait, we can't leave the royal capital to them either."

"Set fire to the capital."

There are still more than 500,000 people living in the capital of Hastings.

If the fire is set, there will inevitably be heavy casualties.

At this time, the nobles who were responsible for executing the order also felt compassion.

The news was spread quietly.

soon.

A rebellion broke out in the royal capital.

When the third prince's army was about to surround the royal capital.

The king and the evil god's messenger were nearly surrounded and beaten to death by the angry people of the capital.

I could only bring some of my trusted followers with me.

Escaped from Hastings Kingdom in a panic.

The third prince led an army of one million and launched an armed parade.

Arrived safely at Hastings Kingdom.

Then, amid the cheers of the people in the royal capital, he ascended the throne without bloodshed.

Became the new king of Hastings Kingdom.

After ascending the throne, the third prince issued his first order.

"A million-strong army organized by the nobles."

"Go to the front immediately."

"Declare war on the Kingdom of Light."

A new round of battle between the evil god and Fang Yuan begins.

And this time!

The evil god was completely reduced to the passive defensive side.

The strategic initiative lies entirely in Fang Yuan's hands.

And this time!

In the capital of Alpha.

Fang Yuan looked at the map in front of him.

There was a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.

"I thought that building a fortress would slow down my attack speed."

"Innocent!"

Fang Yuan looked at Christian beside him.

"Over at the Orc Kingdom, what's the latest news from Blayney?"

"Have."

"The orc king has been controlled by the puppet potion."

"They have taken control of the main orc nobles."

"We can mobilize the orc army to join the battle at any time."

This is huge good news for Fang Yuan.

You can see it from the map.

After Hastings took it.

The remaining four countries.

In the four kingdoms of Light, Leiden, Lannis, and Xinhui.

Leiden and Wright are two twin kingdoms, back to back.

Now the border between the Kingdom of Leit and the Kingdom of Leiden has been closed.

A bulwark fortress was built to threaten Alpha and Hastings.

And want to take over these two kingdoms.

You need to destroy these castles one by one along the way.

Even Alpha's alchemist is strong.

But it is not easy to take over the two kingdoms in a short period of time.

Moreover.

The two kingdoms of Lannis and Xinhui have also completed general mobilization and stationed troops on the border.

There are signs of invasion.

Now I am fighting on three fronts.

The evil god is also making a desperate move and refuses to fight with him in the wild.

Just fight a stupid battle and defend the castle.

In this way, I can only take it bit by bit and cannot mobilize all my elite troops.

Only a part of them can be sent to fight in rotation.

Fighting a bad battle on the border will consume soldiers.

Fang Yuan naturally would not allow this to happen.

That's why I asked about the situation in the Orc Kingdom.

Because if you cross the Red River Valley.

Let the orcs go south, enter the eastern border of the Hastings Kingdom, and bypass the coastline.

Able to successfully enter the rear of the Kingdom of Leiden.

If the army of the Orc Kingdom could appear there.

Break through the Kingdom of Leiden from the rear.

Then the defense lines of the two kingdoms of Leiden and Light established by the evil god would completely lose their meaning.

Our own army can attack his rear.

Fang Yuan's hand quickly drew a line on the map.

Then he said to Christian.

"Send someone to the north immediately and hand it over to Doug."

"And give the order to Sam."

"Withdraw from the Red River Valley."

"Make way."

"After Doug assembled the legion."

"Just take the Red River Valley and go around the coastline."

"Attack the rear of the Kingdom of Leiden."

"As you command!" (End of this chapter)
