Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 207 Victory
At this moment, Hubbard's mentality was a little broken. For him, everything that was happening now was beyond his earlier expectations.

The strength of this colonial power occupying "Sword Bay" was far beyond his imagination! It was far beyond the intelligence given by the Magras people!
Moreover, this place is not only inhabited by humans, there are also a bunch of high elves. This situation is too complicated!
In fact, Hubbard felt that his course of action was still very restrained. He did not lead his men directly to "Wangbo Port", but chose to land in other places in the "Sword Bay Area".

This is because of insufficient intelligence. They plan to continue searching for some information about "Wangbo Port" before deciding whether to take action. It is undeniable that they are indeed interested in the "Sword Bay" area, which is indeed a good place.

However, the reality is very wrong. It is obvious that "Wangbo Port" has already learned the news in advance and has made preparations in advance.

The people of "Wangbo Port" did not give them any chance to continue to gather intelligence. They attacked them as soon as they arrived and before they had a firm foothold.

If you say there is nothing fishy about this, Hubbard will never believe it.

"Despicable Magrath!"

Hubbard immediately figured it out. It must be the Magraths who were causing trouble!

Those bastards deceived them! The intelligence they provided was completely wrong!
They said that there were only five or six thousand humans in "Wangbo Port", and the standing army was even less than a thousand, and they were all new recruits. It turned out that not a single word of it was true!
Not only did he not tell the truth, he even tipped off the people in Wangbo Port! It must have been the Magras who leaked the information!

"Qiang!"

Swinging the greatsword in his hand, Hubbard narrowly blocked Tantalus' attack, and the anger in his heart was completely ignited.

Magrath! Tantalus!

That’s right, Hubbard knew Tantalus. As a champion knight, Tantalus might not be very famous in provinces a little further away from the “Province of Magras”, but he was still very famous near the “Province of Magras”.

Especially for Hubbard, he was very familiar with this champion knight from the neighboring province, after all, he was also a champion knight.

Seeing that Tantalus had become an undead knight, Hubbard naturally understood everything. The Magrath people must have suffered a lot here, and even Tantalus was killed.

But what Hubbard could not have imagined was that Tantalus, who had died and transformed into an undead knight, had a breakthrough in strength!
Facing Tantalus at this time, Hubbard felt a lot of pressure. He had never felt so pressured when fighting with Tantalus before.

Their strength could be considered equal, but the situation was completely different now. Hubbard felt that he could be killed at any time. As long as he made a mistake, he could be killed by Tantalus!
Therefore, in this situation, Hubbard had no time to focus on commanding, and it was good enough that he could save his own life.

Despicable Magrath!

Hubbard kept cursing in his heart.

The Magras people admitted their mistake and moved to another place to colonize, and then they deliberately revealed this place to them just to trick them!
This can't go on any longer, we must evacuate!
Hubbard tried his best and barely managed to push Tantalus back a few steps, then he took the opportunity to turn around and run away.

"Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw!"

Hubbard kept shouting as he ran.

His action of turning around and running naturally caused a chain reaction immediately, and the soldiers of the "Carkanni Province" were instantly defeated.

The direction they fled in was naturally the direction of the ship. After all, they couldn't run into the dark rainforest, right?

But their running to the ship was exactly what Hellion wanted, because of course it was impossible for him not to be on guard against this. The navy of "Wangbo Port" was not idle either. Eight warships were floating on the sea at this time, and they had locked onto the ships of "Kalkanni Province" and would never let them escape.

"Isaacs! Half for each!"

Drake stood on the Raven and shouted to Isaacs on another ship. It was dark and he didn't know if Isaacs could see the gestures he was making.

"no problem!"

Isaacs responded to him. As high elves, they already had dark vision and were certainly not blocked by the night.

There were eight warships, four were operated by human crews and four were operated by high elves. Both sides sailed towards their assigned targets.

Of course, the people of the "Carkanni Province" also left some guards on the ship, but facing the fierce attack of Drake and Isaacs, these few guards could only put up a desperate fight at best and could not hold the ship at all. The gap in numbers was a bit too big.

Many of Drake's men are old pirates, and they are very good at boarding and robbing ships. The Ethan Tritons led by Isaacs are also very good at it. For the Tritons, fighting at sea is naturally their forte.

The people left on the ships of the "Carkanni Province" were all old, weak and sick. Faced with the sudden attack of the two waves of people, they had no ability to fight back, and more than a dozen ships were quickly captured.

The defeated soldiers of the "Carkanni Province" on the coast were naturally dumbfounded when they saw this scene. They could only watch the ship being driven away and lost their last hope of escape.

"These bastards!"

Hubbard's defense was broken again. This bearded uncle who looked to be in his forties or fifties felt that he had suffered a Waterloo in his life today. He had never been so desperate in all his years.

"Damn it! Fight them!"

Hubbard, who had broken through the defense, turned his horse around and looked at the enemies who were chasing him. He finally understood that these people must have been prepared in advance and wanted to block them all at the seaside!

"Surrender without killing!"

The people in "Wangbo Port" kept shouting. As expected, just as Hubbard thought, these people wanted to create a desperate situation with no way out, and then use it to force everyone to surrender.

"How can you surrender so easily?! Fight them!"

Hubbard could not accept such a simple surrender. He wanted to fight again to see if he could find a chance to break out of the siege. At this time, he could not take the sea route, so he could only run into the woods. It was dark and these people should not be able to find them.

"."However, few people responded to Hubbard, and only a very small number of soldiers followed him. They were all veterans who had followed him in many battles.

The other soldiers chose to remain silent, which made the meaning very clear. The other soldiers obviously didn't want to fight anymore. They had been hit hard and felt that there was no hope of winning. Since they couldn't win, did they have to fight anymore?
The battle just now caused a lot of casualties to the soldiers of the "Carkanni Province". Their cavalry and infantry combined had about 3,000 people, and the battle just now directly caused them to lose nearly 1,000 people!
In other words, it is already late now and the specific situation cannot be seen clearly, otherwise the morale of the people in the "Carkanni Province" would be even lower.

In fact, it was not completely invisible. The soldiers who had escaped to the coast were all gathered together at this time. After taking a look and asking each other, they basically understood what was going on.

The enemy is powerful!
If they really can't resist, they might as well surrender directly. After all, they are all human beings, and these people in "Wangbo Port" will not eat them.

"Surrender without killing!"

The calls for surrender were still ringing, and Hubbard's heart sank, but he could also understand these soldiers. The enemy was indeed stronger than he had imagined.

It is not easy for them to do what they are doing now after being attacked suddenly. It is really difficult to expect everyone to be fearless and brave.

"Forget it, surrender."

Hubbard sighed, finally accepting reality. He couldn't even defeat the Undead Knight Tantalus, so what about the person controlling Tantalus? He definitely couldn't defeat him either. He knew whether he could break out or not.
So, on the coast, the Carkanni people standing in the tide chose to surrender. They did not resist any longer and did not fight a desperate battle, because they had lost the courage to fight and the confidence that they could win.

At the end of the battle, two-thirds of the colonial vanguard of the "Kalkanni Province" were captured, and the remaining one-third joined the ranks of the Undead Knights, a total of about 800 people, replenishing the constantly depleted human undead army.

Now, the number of Undead Knights led by Tantalus and Forbucts has reached about 1,200, and the number of human Undead Infantry has also recovered to 800, barely balancing the losses and income.

The human undead infantry suffered heavy losses in this battle. If it weren't for the help of the high elf archers and the charge of the sea guards behind them, the losses might have been even greater.

Speaking of this, the High Elves really made a great effort in this battle tonight. The Ethan Sea Guards and the White Crown Archers caused at least half of the casualties. Among the one thousand people killed, five hundred died from arrows. Even if they were not killed directly, they died indirectly from arrows.

The Silver Helmet Knights and the Undead Knights also caused a lot of casualties. The High Elves fought with all their might and did not hold back at all, which was very touching.

"We'll split the supplies they brought in fifty-fifty."

Hellion was very generous. He wanted to split the profits with Okanina 50-50. Fifteen ships came from the "Province of Kalkanni", carrying 3,000 people and a lot of supplies. If they split the profits 50-50, the high elves would get a lot.

"Can you decide this?"

Okanina looked at Hellion strangely. It seemed that the distribution of the spoils afterwards was not within Hellion's responsibility. All the spoils were to be collected in the warehouse of "Wangbo Port".

"Ahem, if anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility. I think Uther will definitely support me in doing so."

Hellion coughed awkwardly twice, but he still held on. He had already said it, and he certainly couldn't go back on his word.

"Forget it, let's talk about it after we get back."

Okanina smiled and rejected Hellion's proposal. There was no need. If Hellion proposed it to Uther, the other party might really agree. It would not be too late to take it then.

"also."

Okanina gave him a step to go down, and Hellion went down directly along the steps, but he still remembered this matter and would definitely apply to Governor Uther after returning.

"Nine times out of ten!"

Hellion was quite confident about this. The high elves fought so hard, so they should be rewarded, and these trophies were obviously very suitable.

After cleaning up the battlefield, everyone returned to the capital. Since there was sea transportation available, they didn't have to worry about having too much stuff to carry away. They could just use transport ships to transport it.

Those fifteen large ships were also a huge sum of money, and they also added new human-style ships to the navy of "Wangbo Port".

The army returned victoriously, and "Wangbo Port" was naturally bustling with activity. The two thousand prisoners surprised everyone.

Obviously, everyone was a little surprised that so many people from the "Carkanni Province" would come at once. It seemed that they were really coming for them. A total of 3,000 professional troops, if it were only "Wangbo Port" alone, it really would not be able to stop them.

In a sense, the intelligence obtained by the people of the "Carkanni Province" was not all false, or in other words, it was all true.

The permanent human population of "Wangbo Port" was indeed only five or six thousand people before, or even less than that, and the standing army was less than a thousand people. The Magras people were exaggerating.

The Magras people just didn't say enough about some things, such as the fact that "Port Wangbo" is not only inhabited by humans, but also by high elves and lizardmen. Even the current Magras people do not understand how powerful "Port Wangbo" is.

The "Province of Calcaneni" was actually quite cautious and directly dispatched 3,000 troops, which was more than the number of people Tantalus brought that time.

This is enough to show that the "Carkanni Province" really wants to do something big. They want to directly seize "Wangbo Port", which is much simpler than building a colony from scratch.

It’s a pity that although the people of the “Carkanni Province” were already cautious enough and took it seriously enough, they still ran into an obstacle.

This is not their fault. It’s just that the situation in "Wangbo Port" is indeed complicated, and the arrival of these surrendered soldiers has made the situation even more complicated. The two thousand surrendered soldiers and people from "Kalkanni Province" suddenly accounted for nearly one-fifth of the total population of "Wangbo Port".

With the continuous absorption of populations from various weak colonies, the population of "Wangbo Port" has reached seven or eight thousand. With the addition of these two thousand people, it is not far from breaking through ten thousand.

"Port Wangbo" finally increased its population, which made Okanina envious. It was obviously impossible for them in "Port Yinye" to do this. The population of the high elves was growing too slowly, and there was no place for them to plunder the population. It was obviously unrealistic to return to Iseng now.
