My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1319. Ahhhhh! Dog Murphy! I'm going to fight you!

"What does this message they sent mean? What does it mean that two Old Gods have sneaked into East Prussia and are preparing to lead a Chaos invasion at night?"

In the pioneer fortress, the short marshal who had just finished his lunch looked at the urgent message in his hand. He was a little unbelievable for a moment and subconsciously glanced out the window. At this time, the sky was already dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun enveloped the earth in a weak posture. There were less than fifty minutes left until nightfall.

This bad news came at this time. Even if we rule out the truth or falsehood, it is completely unrealistic to mobilize the army on a large scale.

"This is information personally conveyed by Sir Adele, Governor Murphy's intelligence officer. Its authenticity can be guaranteed, but its content is a bit too horrifying."

In front of the marshal, General Soros held his command knife uneasily and whispered:
"Although we don't know much about the 'Old Gods', since the name contains 'God', it cannot be treated as an ordinary danger, not to mention that this matter involves Chaos invasion. We have fought against Chaos evil creatures on the Genoa Peninsula. Once those things erupt in what is now East Prussia.
I simply dare not think of the disastrous consequences.

The most important thing is that the subtext of this message sent by Transia is that the pioneering corps should take the lead!
As the Kingdom's army, it is our duty to protect our territory and citizens, but the problem is that the Pioneer Corps has little experience in dealing with Chaos. Can we really withstand such a disaster?"

"This is no longer a question of whether we can do it or not. Can we abandon the province and retreat at this time? If we really do that, the Transians will laugh their heads off. Soros, no matter what decision we make, Murphy will get the result he wants to see."

Loren stared at the information rolling in the projection of the computing orb in his hand and said:
“As for myself, I have seen a real outbreak of Chaos during my travels in the Songhai Empire. In the city of the rebellious pharaoh, that madman poisoned the water in order to stop the army of Queen Laofa, creating a terrible scene.

In that battle, I also charged into battle with the Hades troops and fought against the Chaos creatures.

I have seen how they 'multiply' in the physical world.

Civilians killed by Chaos creatures will also become part of Chaos after death. If not controlled, they will grow exponentially in a short period of time.

This is what Murphy wanted to tell me with this message. If we cannot resist those evil creatures in the first wave of the invasion, King Louis will lose the province of East Prussia forever in a short time.

Worse still, this place will become an axis of evil, from which the chaotic creatures that continue to pour out will launch destructive plunder and attacks in all directions.

Anjou, Catho, and Saxe, then Calais and Antani, and finally Greene and Helms, when the whole kingdom will be plunged into the scourge of Chaos.

I am just glad that Murphy did not choose a more extreme approach, and he gave us a chance to turn the tide."

"How to say?"

General Soros asked curiously. Elemental Loren stood up and held his Marshal's battle axe in his hand, saying:

"Murphy has a weapon given by the Creator, which is specially used to clean up the threat of Chaos. If he wants to avoid the disaster in a simpler and more direct way, then he only needs to move his fingers to raze East Prussia to the ground before the Chaos pollution breaks out.

No matter how powerful Chaos is, it still needs life as a host for its filthy transformation. If there is no life that can be infected on a piece of land, then the disaster will be nipped in the bud.

He didn't do that.

He left the choice to us, but this is also the direction that the two old gods who were planning to cause trouble wanted to see. They knew that heroes always have to bear more moral and ideological burdens than villains.

But they ignore the fact that even mortals do not lack the courage to face disaster and pain!
So, I command!"

"Swish"

General Soros immediately straightened up and waited for orders, and then heard Marshal Loren say in a deep voice:

"I will personally lead the airship formation and the pioneering corps to Banks City for defensive operations. Soros, you will immediately dispatch the troops in the fortress to different areas, and then take your command group to the Dorod Fortress through the astral teleportation, and mobilize the soldiers stationed in the Cato area to advance from the south to the territory of East Prussia.

The target of the Chaos invasion must be the big cities!
They need to accumulate enough troops in a short period of time so as not to disperse their military strength, so the focus of defense is on large towns with a population of more than 100,000 people.

There were sufficient garrisons in those towns, and messages were immediately sent to them to prepare for war.

I will contact Silver Keep and Ring Tower to request reinforcements on the way.

Finally, I need you to go to the Maginot Line in person and invite General Kudel or General Maxim to lead the Transian army into East Prussia to assist in the battle on my behalf."

"marshal!"

General Soros was immediately shocked when he heard the last order. He exclaimed:
"Without the king or the military's order, you have no right to open the border to foreign troops! Even if we win the war and save East Prussia, you will be deprived of your honor!"

"That will have to wait until we live to that point, Soros."

Loren rolled his eyes. The half-dwarf marshal straightened his uniform and took out a Songhai-style plasma pistol from the drawer and put it in his arms. He said half-jokingly, as if he was sighing and making some ominous prophecy:

"To be frank, I don't think I can survive a war like this. Moreover, Chaos is about to invade the material world. If we still get entangled in the grudges between mortals at this time, it would make us Plantagenets look petty.

Although His Majesty and I haven't had much contact since we last saw each other for more than a month, to be honest, I can also feel the subtle changes in His Majesty's mentality.

After nearly dying at the hands of Chaos, our Majesty pondered what the struggle between Order and Chaos means for the mortal kingdoms.

Soros.
You and I have both faced the evil of Chaos.

You and I were almost wiped out by them in a shameful way. I think you know that in front of such an enemy of all living things, they will not show mercy to us just because we are Plantagenets. In front of such an enemy, there is no option of surrender.

Next, fight like a Transian."

The marshal took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. There were still about forty minutes before nightfall. He reached out and touched the photo of his wife on the cover of the pocket watch, and a flash of tenderness appeared in his eyes.

他 说:

"I have a child, and my child is in the Silver Castle, which is in the mountains at the border of Anjou and East Prussia. If I can't stop the chaos on the front line, then my wife and child will be in danger.

Soros, I said something I shouldn't have said.

Rather than waiting for the Transians to break into my house in the future, being tied to the gallows as a war criminal and struggling to die in an inglorious way amidst the scorn of the public, perhaps this sudden war is a favor from fate to me.

Therefore, if I unfortunately die in battle, you will take over as the commander of the pioneering corps!

Just keep fighting in East Prussia, Soros.

Let us shed our last drop of blood for this land, and then let it choose where it will end up. "

"Yes!"

General Soros is also a veteran of many years. How could he not hear the determination in Loren's words?

However, as the Transians grew stronger at an unimaginable speed, the humiliating end of the "war criminals trial" described by the marshal was no longer the ravings of a madman, so how to choose their own end became a question that the commanders had to consider seriously.

Call it an escape or an atonement, dying on a glorious battlefield is certainly better than swinging ridiculously on the gallows.

In the next thirty minutes, the Fortress of Pioneer was quickly mobilized like a war machine. Thanks to Loren's high demands on his soldiers, there was always a reserve force in the fortress to maintain combat readiness, and the airship formations were also well maintained so that they could carry thousands of soldiers and prepare for take-off in the shortest time.

Marshal Shortman brought his elite guards and some gendarmes with him. As the largest city in East Prussia, Banks had no shortage of soldiers. The Marshal had to go there in person to better stabilize morale.

And at this moment, a person no one expected hurriedly visited the pioneer fortress.

As the light of astral teleportation shone on the airship platform, Count Lyon, wearing leather armor and carrying a sword, strode over under the protection of his teleporter lover.

He looked around, ran towards Loren who was boarding the airship, and handed him a vampire-style box.

"This is?"

The marshal opened the box in surprise, and when he saw what was inside, he couldn't help but say:
"A lighter? What kind of damn vampire etiquette is this?" "No! This is the artifact of light!"

Count Lyon said seriously:

"Just now, Governor Murphy personally handed it to me and told me to make sure it was delivered to you. This thing can protect your airship formation from being attacked by the Lord of Darkness in the dark night. Only with its protection can you reach your destination safely and fight the most brutal battle with the Chaos Vanguard.

The light of this artifact can also protect a city and a large area around it from being engulfed by darkness for a long time!
Without it, you won't be able to survive long in the Eternal Night.

In addition, Governor Murphy has promised that the Transian army will enter East Prussia as quickly as possible to assist in the battle, and he is also personally participating in the hunt for the Old Gods, so you just need to hold on through the most difficult period."

"But what about the others?"

The marshal asked in a low voice:

"If the Lord of Darkness can kill as much as he wants in the Eternal Night, then others..."

“I brought this!”

Count Lyon opened the bag filled with various holy emblems and showed it to the marshal. He said:

"The gods will pay attention to this place. Their holy objects can support temporary shelters in the eternal night. The light will ignite East Prussia and last until the sun comes again tomorrow morning, but."

The Count, who held a high position in the royal party, looked around and whispered to the Marshal:

“The fate of East Prussia will be revealed after this battle. Now that the Transians have come in, don’t expect them to retreat. I don’t know if your Majesty is ready, but the kingdom may lose this place forever.

Unless we find another way to save the country.

My idea is.”

"Count Lyon, there is no time to talk about this now. It is almost nightfall!"

Marshal Loren waved his hand impatiently and said:

"As long as it can ensure the interests of the kingdom, no matter what action you plan to take, the Pioneer Corps will support you!"

General Soros and other commanders beside him also nodded. This clear statement made Count Lyon's eyes light up. He said nothing more, but just took a step back and took a Songhai-style sword from his lover and handed it to Loren, saying:
“This is a gift my son gave me. It is said to be a sharp blade blessed by the Church of the Blazing Sun. It can protect you from getting lost in the darkness. I wish you good luck in the war!
May the flag of the Plantagenet Kingdom fly high. "

Then, as they watched, the Pioneer Corps' airship fleet quickly took off and flew towards Banks City, the largest city in East Prussia.

It is the area where Chaos invasion is most likely to break out, and is also the top priority of this round of defensive operations.

As time passed, the last ray of sunset sank below the horizon. When night fell, an evil wind blew up. Amid the Count Lyon's exclamation, the moonlight that had not yet had a chance to bloom was obscured by the wild laughter in the darkness.

The roar from the Lord of Darkness sounded on time. With the help of the natural symbol of the night, Lao Hei expanded his power to the limit and spread the light-devouring power everywhere in a "generous" manner.

Just the first round of black wind blew away an entire layer of the wall of the pioneer fortress. The evil force was stealing the mass of the material world and destroying all things that did not obey the darkness.

The soldiers were at a loss in the darkness. In the pitch-black night, there seemed to be a sneaky voice echoing in their ears, whispering the most shameless and depraved dark voices in everyone's heart. Under the cover of the darkness, the tide of nightmares also began to beat. Count Lyon yawned and then slapped himself in the face to keep himself awake, and punched and kicked the drowsy guys beside him to make them recover.

"Quick! Divide these holy emblems!"

At this moment, the Earl ignored the authority of General Loren and General Soros as the commanders of the Fortress, and directly took over the command, ordering the soldiers beside him:

"Call upon the gods, and pray for the blessing of order! If you don't know who to pray to, then shout out the name of Holy Light!"

He held a somewhat worn Holy Light Book high up on the tower. Amid the roar of the loudspeaker used by his lover behind him, Count Lyon shouted in an unreasonably excited voice:

“Don’t be afraid of the darkness! Warriors of order, always believe that the brightest light will burst out in the darkest times! That is the light of holiness, the light of purification, and the light of salvation! It will not reject the prayers of any helpless person, and it will not reject every shining in the darkness!

Chant the name of the Light.

Warriors, do not retreat! Do not waver! Darkness cannot defeat us, and neither can evil!"

This fanatical shout quickly awakened the warriors in the eternal night. Although many of them heard the name of Holy Light for the first time, this did not prevent the faithless Plantagenet people from calling for the protection of Holy Light in a "pragmatic" manner.

What is surprising is that when they prayed in this evil eternal night, they actually felt warmth in their hearts.

Although it is not enough to gather into a spark of faith to illuminate the darkness, it is enough to help the warriors dispel the chill in their bodies and give them renewed courage.

But the problem is that Count Lyon's style of doing things determines that he can't be a devout believer at all, and it is really hard to understand why he is shouting the name of Holy Light at this time.

Only the little mistress who has always followed the Count knows what her husband is doing.

This equally ambitious lady was extremely excited and even ignored the dangerous darkness of the night, as if a blazing fire was burning in her heart.

Tonight the future of East Prussia will enter an uncertain turning point.

The Plantagenets do not want to lose their borders, and the Transians will not give up on recovering their homeland, but fate may have other plans for the ownership of this land.

"Look! That ball of light!"

A general holding the holy emblem of the God of Nature on the top of the tower and praying to Avalon again after many years suddenly saw a flash in the sky. He shouted excitedly:

"There is a light shining on the Marshal's airship! That light dispels the darkness!"

Everyone looked back and saw that there was indeed a bright and dazzling light spreading on the airship in the distance, like a sun in the eternal night.

The light that dispelled the darkness was so bright that the soldiers who remained in the pioneer fortress shouted in unison, as if the disturbing darkness was no longer worth fearing.

On the airship that was struggling to move forward in the eternal night, Loren, who was standing on the deck holding the artifact of light to light up the light, found a small note in the peculiarly shaped artifact.

That was probably an "easter egg" left by Murphy.

There is only one sentence above:

"Live in shame? Or end with honor?"

"whispering sound"

The half-dwarf marshal could read the ridicule and sarcasm in Murphy's words when he wrote this sentence just from the paper, but he didn't care. He placed the note on the fire lit by the artifact and lit it. As the embers flew, a commotion was heard behind the deck.

The marshal looked back and saw that a monster had rushed out from the crew's nightmare and was wreaking havoc.

"Pooh!"

The dwarf spat to the side, drew his battle axe and rushed forward.

die?

Do not!
That's not something to consider right now.
