Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 234 Real-time Broadcast
In the end, "Shilin Port" was forced to organize an army, a mercenary force. Although it had nothing else, "Shilin Port" had plenty of money, and they could hire a large mercenary force.

At a high-level meeting, an old friend's heartfelt speech finally moved Earl Shilin, who was not originally planning to use force.

"While we are still rich, we still have a chance to fight. If we continue to delay, we may be powerless in the future. After all, our interests have been declining, while the other party is making a lot of money through our trade routes and customers."

The old man's words came from the heart, and they immediately enlightened Earl Shilin. Indeed, blindly yielding was useless. Their generation could yield a little and endure, but what about the future? One day, there would be no retreat!
But when that day really comes, not only will they have no way to retreat, they won't even have the chance to fight to the death. They will be like delivering food to others.

Therefore, Earl Shilin felt that they really had to give it a try. Regardless of success or failure, it at least proved that they had tried their best.

Even if they failed, it would only be a loss of some money. They really didn't care about the lives of these mercenaries.

So, under such circumstances, the mercenary brigade from "Shilin Port" appeared. After spending a lot of money, it seemed as if the whole world was within reach. After all, this was a mercenary brigade of 6,000 people! It looked very intimidating.

It has to be said that "Shilin Port" has really invested a lot of money. They have learned from the lessons of the previous "Carkanni Province" and "Magras Province". This time they brought more people, and they are all professional mercenaries with rich combat experience.

Under this "money offensive", Earl Shilin did not believe that he could not defeat "Wangbo Port", and he did not believe that he could not defeat that "Blood Oath Alliance". He would punish the "Empire"!
Earl Shilin was even dreaming that after defeating "Wangbo Port" and the [Blood Oath Alliance], "Wangbo Port" here would be his spoils of war. Then he would not have to attack "Wangbo Port" anymore because it would also make money for him.

"set off!"

Full of confidence, Earl Shilin set out with 8,000 mercenaries and staff. He led the army in person. In addition to 6,000 mercenaries, there were also 4,000 regular troops. This time, "Shilin Port" could be said to be a real all-out attack.

Of course, because of his wealth and power, Earl Shilin still left a lot of people to guard "Shilin Port". He just gathered an army of 10,000 to make it sound better when he said it.

"It's spectacular."

Earl Shilin sighed. He had never commanded so many people before, so he was really excited. Ten thousand people may not seem like a lot when measured in numbers, but when they actually appeared before his eyes, the incomparably real sense of shock was not fake.

This feeling is like looking at the endless sea.

"My Lord Earl, I think we have too many people."

However, when Earl Shilin was immersed in and intoxicated with the fact that he ruled over 10,000 people, someone came out and sang a different tune.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can we call this a large number of people? We haven't all set out together to attack others yet."

Earl Shilin looked at the man who spoke with dissatisfaction. It was obvious that he felt uncomfortable because his imagination was interrupted.

"My Lord Earl! It's hard to manage so many people! And if those mercenaries start a rebellion, they'll be impossible to command!"

The man continued to persuade, and it must be said that his words made sense. The laws of those mercenaries did stipulate that the orders of the employer must be strictly obeyed, but the law was the law. When a person turned into an "outlaw", the law naturally became a piece of waste paper and was of no use at all.

These mercenaries are indeed a big problem and hidden danger, but now that things have come to this, the arrow has been drawn and the bowstring has to be shot, and Earl Shilin can only bite the bullet and go ahead.

[Blood Oath Covenant], "Sword Bay", "Wangbo Port".

After the "Stone Forest Port" started the action, Uther had already received the news. He already knew that the "Stone Forest Port" was going to attack them, and even understood the entire process.

Because at this moment, "Wangbo Port" stands together with all the imperial merchants, and even with the empire's "coastal provinces", and everyone is on the same chain of interests.

Once "Wangbo Port" is destroyed, they will have to return to the "Shilin Port Trade Era" and suffer all kinds of oppression and commissions from "Shilin Port", and have to endure all kinds of rules and regulations imposed by the "Empire", which is obviously something no one wants to see.

Therefore, as soon as "Shilin Port" sent out the message to recruit mercenaries, all the relevant information had already been transmitted to "Wangbo Port".

As each mercenary team arrived at "Shilin Port", their news would be transmitted to "Wangbo Port", just like a real-time report, except that the content of the report was a bit excessive, directly revealing all the details of the "Shilin Port" army.

Being able to achieve this extent is the most that merchants and the "coastal provinces" can do. After all, they dare not openly confront the "empire" militarily, at least not for this matter.

Because once they intervene, it is very likely that the war will turn into a full-scale war, a civil war that will affect the entire "empire".

Although this may be a bit of an exaggeration, it is indeed a possibility.

It can only be said that the time is still too short. The ties between "Wangbo Port" and these merchants and coastal provinces are still relatively loose. If they are really tied tightly, even if it will trigger a war or a civil war in the empire, these people will have to go.

"If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if water comes, we will block it with earth. It's just 10,000 people. It's already a small situation for us. If a 10,000-strong human army comes to attack us now, it will only result in a fight without return."

At the combat meeting, Lyle was not nervous at all and made a direct judgment.

This statement sounded quite arrogant, but no one objected, because everyone thought so in their hearts. They had fought several major battles in succession, and even a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people.

The intelligence version from "Shilin Port" is obviously far behind. Their understanding of "Wangbo Port" is still stuck at the time when it was at war with "Kalkanni Province" and "Magras Province", but the current "Wangbo Port" and the current [Blood Oath Covenant" are completely different.

"Everyone, get ready. Earl Shilin is leading the army in person. We must capture him alive. This is the best outcome for us."

Uther clapped his hands, trying to make everyone nervous, he was worried that pride would lead to a fall.

But on second thought, it seemed impossible. After all, their battle record and strength were there, and they were well aware of the situation of the army in "Shilin Port". If they were to lose under such circumstances, they would be ashamed to face the "Lord of Blood".

"That's a must. We must capture this Earl of Stone Forest alive!"

Hellion replied that this was an order from the Blood King, a divine oracle from the gods, and they would do their utmost to carry it out. "Leave this battle to my undead troops."

Werner spoke, which made everyone look at him. They all felt a little uncomfortable, because Werner would never take the initiative to do things normally. It was really rare to see him being so proactive, and he took on so much responsibility, as if he wanted to take all the credit for himself.

However, some people who know Werner understand that if Werner is proactive, it means that the "Blood King" really cares about this matter, and this matter cannot be lost!
Those who know Werner understand that Werner will only actively participate in things that the "Blood King" cares about.

The most loyal and fanatical believer of the "Blood King" is not given this title for nothing. If Karen sets up a sect, Werner will definitely get the position of "Pope".

"No, Werner, don't try to take all the credit."

Hellion spoke up immediately. He also wanted to gain more trust from the "Blood King" and make more contributions. So, facing this kind of thing, he certainly would not be humble.

"Nonsense, I'm not trying to compete with you for credit. I just want to make sure the situation is foolproof, so it's most appropriate for me and the Undead to do it."

Werner glared at Hellion. He was not doing this for selfish reasons. He didn't care about credit or not. He only cared about whether he had completed the order of the "Lord of Blood".

"."

Hellion was speechless for a while. He didn't believe Werner's nonsense.

"Speaker Uther, tell me, how should we fight?"

In the end, Hellion did not argue with Werner anymore. He looked directly at Uther. The final decision on what to do was made by Uther, the Speaker. This Speaker had great power.

"Werner, I know you mean well, but this requires everyone's cooperation. The Undead will of course be the main force. They will still be responsible for holding the line and engaging the enemy on the front lines. We need to preserve our manpower as much as possible."

Uther did not hesitate and spoke out his thoughts directly. He did not insist on having the final say, but instead had a rational discussion with everyone.

"However, the undead are also an important force in our [Blood Oath Covenant] camp. We cannot just use them up like this. While the undead are engaged in a bloody battle with the enemy, other troops must also launch attacks. We must all work together to quickly defeat the enemy. This is also a very important thing."

Uther spoke earnestly, calming the emotions of both sides and using words to dispel Werner's thoughts.

The reason why Werner gave up the idea of taking on too much was because Uther was right about one thing, that is, it is certainly right to retain as much manpower as possible, but the "undead" is also an important "war resource" and must be protected.

Werner's method of treating the "undead" as mere consumables is a bit too much. These "undead" are non-renewable resources in the [Blood Oath Covenant] camp. They cannot be replenished internally. If one is used, one less will be used. They must be protected if possible.

"Okay, then it's settled. We'll charge straight into the enemy's center with a few sharp knives and try to capture Earl Shilin alive."

Everyone agreed to the new battle plan, and then began to fill in the details together. Now this battle was inevitable, it was already here, and it had to be fought with real weapons.

"Shilin Port" wants to regain its status and interests, and "Wangbo Port" wants to defend its territory and interests. Everything is inseparable from the word "interest".

"It's finally almost here."

At the edge of the Sword Bay area, the army of "Shilin Port" has arrived. A number of 10,000 people is indeed not easy to command. At this time, Earl Shilin has gradually realized this, but there is nothing he can do about it, because he made the choice himself.

"Set up camp first."

Earl Shilin spoke and issued an order once again, making the "Crusade Marshal" he appointed as a mere formality, without any authority at all, and just doing whatever he was told. This was a taboo, and such a "Crusade Marshal" could not convince anyone at all.

how to say?

This "expeditionary army", which was already in chaos, has become even more chaotic. Basically, the generals don't know their soldiers, and the soldiers don't know their generals, making it very difficult to command.

Even though it was just a camp, a lot of problems were exposed.

After the mission was issued, after waiting for a long time, there were still some troops that had not received the message. Everyone was bored and had no idea what to do. It was not until they saw someone setting up camp that they realized that the order to set up camp had been issued.

This sounds ridiculous, but it actually happened.

Earl Shilin no longer thinks that 10,000 people are a good thing. He even thinks it would be better to just bring his own 4,000 people. It is a little less, but at least he can enforce discipline.

"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"

As the army began to hurriedly set up camp, the sound of hurried horse hooves rang out, accompanied by a gust of fishy wind. It was a mixed cavalry brigade from the [Blood Oath Covenant] and a herd of undead beasts. This was the first wave of counterattack.

Before the enemy took action, the counterattack of the [Blood Oath Alliance] had already begun, and the reason was very sufficient. The army of "Stone Forest Port" entered the "Sword Bay Area", which was regarded as an invasion of the [Blood Oath Alliance] and an active declaration of war. The [Blood Oath Covenant] had the right to take the initiative to attack.

"Boom boom boom!"

Under such circumstances, the chaotic "Shilin Port" army was basically defeated at the first touch by the charge of three or four thousand cavalry, not to mention that there were many undead beasts, which were extremely ferocious.

This move was so powerful that it dealt a heavy blow to the army of "Shilin Port".

Earl Shilin, who was originally in high spirits, was now in a rather embarrassing state. He had obviously not expected such a fierce attack. After all, there were nearly 4,000 cavalrymen, and they came at such a coincidence that they arrived just when they were setting up camp.
