Chapter 56 Fierce and decisive [2]
"Why are the Roma so bold?" In the city of Braslav, the motoring touched his chin and asked doubtfully. He couldn't figure out why the Roma opposite him were so bold that they dared to plunder the Knights of the Holy Light, and quickly reported that the Roma had killed Hannibal on the spot. This kind of cruel method is really unbearable. Most of the time, it is definitely a little chilling.
However, compared with those, the motoring itself also guessed that perhaps for a certain purpose, the opposite Prince Alex was a little reluctant to let others know the real situation here. Or, Alex himself wants to cover up something.
Ma Daling thought hard, and suddenly his eyes fell on the cannon of the magic crystal cannon. Immediately, he had a clear understanding in his mind and said to himself: Yes, he Alex saw the power of the magic crystal cannon. If you say this matter, first of all, whether the Roma themselves believe or not is a problem. Most importantly, it is very likely that in the power struggle in the imperial capital, someone will accuse him of creating terrorist news and resist passively. At that time, I'm afraid that he not only did not save the Northern Legion, but even lost the command of the Northern Legion.
Ah, it seems that Alex, the bastard, is about to evacuate the Daugava River Basin.
Madaling wondered whether to launch an attack when Alex retreated, but it was not necessary to think about it. It was enough for him to let the cavalry go out and plunder the surrounding cities fiercely. As long as you don't lose much to your strength and teach Alex a profound lesson, it's enough. His Northern Legion will not have the courage to fight against the Eleventh Legion for a long time. After all, the magic crystal cannon that bloomed in the center at that time, not to mention the Roma, the Normans themselves, were also shocked. However, when the soldiers knew that they had such a powerful weapon, they were really happy.
Those excited magicians even rushed out with the cavalry to hunt down the members of the Holy See.
Basically, no one comes back alive at all. Obviously, as long as you bring a human head.
The means of the black magicians are also extremely fierce, and the decisiveness of the motoring makes the members of the first magician brigade extremely excited. In particular, Captain John pulled out two kilometers and swaggered for a while. The left and right magic bowed, and the people who killed broke through 50 people. It can also be regarded as a small achievement of 50 people, so that the motoring is very high-seeing a lot.
The whole magician brigade is pulled out, which is definitely no less shocking than the magic crystal cannon.
When the Roma army saw such a strange and erratic army, the shock of their hearts fell directly into the abyss from the trough just now. They really can't figure out why the Norman army has such a strong strength, which is much more than those so-called imperial elites. Fighting against such combat power, it would be a nightmare if there were no magicians on a large scale. It's just that when Alex asked those magicians in the army, their views did not seem to be very optimistic. It seems that those Normans are really a little scary.
"Those black magicians are really unpreventable. At this distance, they can actually kill people, and the target's hit rate is at least more than 85%." Looking at the pile of dead priests in his hand, the bodies of those priests were piled up on the ground, and the survivors next to him were vomiting and crying. Such a situation was unexpected. I didn't expect that the sacred clergy of the Holy See would suffer such a painful experience. Moreover, there is no doubt that their strength lags far behind these black magicians who have been under pressure for thousands of years.
Now it seems that the resentment of the black magicians is really terrible.
The hunted priest of the Holy See was suddenly attacked by a group of Norman magicians cavalry who rushed out when he was driven into the camp by the army of the Roma. After two magic blows, only more than a thousand corpses were left to the Roma Northern Legion, lying there, making Alex's face worse and worse.
Yes, since these black magicians can kill their prisoners so accurately, it is also likely to kill him accurately at this distance. As the eldest prince of the empire and the chief successor, if he doesn't even touch the position of the emperor, it is possible to die in the north? This is something that Alex can't accept at all. He also doesn't allow such a thing to happen.
So, he decided to leave here.
Although most of the people in several cities in the north have not evacuated. However, compared with his future, it is really much worse. He has to go. If he doesn't, he really feels insecure.
Two or three million troops, the whole Northern Legion is here, and it can't give him a sense of security. Thinking of the power of the horrible magic crystal cannon, coupled with the haunted magician cavalry brigade, this feeling of ghost attachment is really terrible.
This kind of life, even if he stays for one more day, he can't stand it. This is simply a nightmare of survival.
"Withdraw from the Daugava River Basin and mobilize troops back to the Minsk Autonomous Territory!" Alex gave the order coldly. He was so decisive that he didn't drag it at all. The fierceness of the first is that it is impossible for people to convey the enemy's news to the imperial capital. At this moment, Alex even thought of a statement. At that time, once someone pursues the battle in the north, as long as he is said to be the Holy Light Knights of the Holy See, he will have to postpone his battle plan and even put the responsibility on the dead Hannibal. Anyway, no one knows who killed Hannibal.
The Holy See will only charge the Normans. And he, Alex, just needs to tell the authorities of the imperial capital that Hannibal's Holy Light Knights have disrupted his battle plan. And it can also be exchanged for the support of the Holy See with the bodies of Hannibal and others, which will definitely make the Pope feel good. It is also unknown to earn the support of a church in vain.
As long as this conspiracy theory is amplified by the clergy, it is absolutely disgusting and horrible. But with such worry, let his other three brothers worry about it.
What he has to do now is to get the position of emperor as soon as possible, and then integrate the power of the empire to erase the major threat of the north. At this time, Alex is also very clear that if he is allowed to do this, Tiger in the north. House's expansion of power is really a super horrible thing. This is more difficult than anything, today's Tiger. House is already so difficult to deal with. He really can't figure out. If it is the kind of Grand Duchy of Norman, which has all become this kind of combative army, what will the empire do to fight at that time? Do you have a lot of people to kill each other?
This is not the future Alex wants to see. He doesn't want to live in panic all day. This is not a good day.
The fierce and decisive two sides coincidentally made the Holy Light Knights as a dish, and both sides ate very comfortably. At least they each have a bargaining chip and excuse. Alex caught such a group of priests. As long as he promised a little heavy responsibility or reward, he would naturally get a lot of good words. And in order to survive, those priests must also cover up the sin and shamelessness of this matter. After all, the death of the coach without a brain will never be recognized by Pope Paul I. Someone must take responsibility for this matter. Since the priests don't want to be scapegoates, they can only agree with Alex and let Tiger. House's army died.
As for whether Pope Paul I will launch an all-out war in the end, it is not a question for Alex to consider. After all, the ability of the Holy Land of Marijoa is not as good as before. It destroys a Knight of the Holy Light. In fact, there are few fighting Knights Templars.
However, perhaps for the final dignity, Pope Paul I is desperate to launch an all-scale war. After all, in this era, for the sake of face, anything can be done. Isn't those so-called glory, glory and honor simply face? It sounds good.
"The eldest prince of the Roman Empire is really cruel. These people of the Holy Light Knights were treated like this. Humph, it seems that Alex really wants to save his strength in this conflict. It seems that the power struggle of the Roma Empire has indeed reached a critical juncture.
Ma Da Ling carefully judged that although he did not learn the essence of following Ma Hu, it was enough for him to have a correct judgment. His eyes were calm and he said to himself: Among the few princes in the Roman Empire, I'm afraid only Alex, the eldest prince with the Northern Legion, is the most competitive. However, such a thing has nothing to do with me in the end. I just need to control these priests and let them serve the army.
"Come on!" The motoring shouted loudly.
The bodyguard immediately came in and bowed and said, "What can I do for you? Commander of the Legion?"
"Report the information here to His Majesty immediately, saying that Alex's Northern Legion is likely not to contact our army. Please indicate whether the defense line of the Daugava River needs to be strengthened." Madaling said so. After hearing this, the bodyguard immediately let the clerk beside him record it. Then after sealing a letter of the city, he took a team of scouts and left the city of Braslav and went to the capital of Tamsalu.
When the motor order saw that his messenger had left, he also thought about it and thought: Since Alex is going to run, he can't take him cheaply. At that time, he will search hard in several cities around him. Although the Minsk Dominion is not as rich as the Earl of White, it can at least feed my Eleventh Legion, and then it will also be able to supplement the expenditure in the Daugava River defense line.
The leader of the Eleventh Legion has become detached at this time, or the motor order at this time has really had the thinking and temperament of the commander of the army.
