Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 190
Stannis counted the casualties, for all he had brought were archers, and as had been supposed, there had been no casualties.

But other families were not so lucky. Nine families were wiped out in the previous avalanche, including Baron Fatees who bought his sword.Before the battle began, four other lords led their men to escape into the forest, but none of them survived.Even those who survived suffered heavy losses. Except for Stannis, the troops of all other families suffered heavy losses in this battle, especially the Mitic family, because they brought the most people, so the casualties were the heaviest.

Although they didn't all die, Duke Garcia's conspiracy was largely accomplished, and the strength of the lords who were dissatisfied with him in the Principality of Tanis was greatly weakened.

But none of them could match the loss of the Rhodoks, with 120 banners laying on the snow and only 20 or so remaining able to stand.What kind of army is this?To be able to withstand such a terrible battle loss rate and still fight to the death!

Stannis' curiosity grew stronger, and he must find out the secret.

Romulo directed the people to cremate the soldiers who died in battle one by one, while Stannis walked over pretending to be casual.

"What are you going to do next?"

The regiment commander turned his head, obviously he didn't think about the little thoughts hidden under Stannis.

"This is the largest group of Chaos people in your territory. I believe that after eliminating them, there will only be some sporadic monsters left, which you Erasia can handle by yourself. And our operation here has ended, and we are going to bring our comrades the bones to go back."

"Back? Are you going back to your V Legion's garrison?" Stannis asked anxiously.

Velen nodded, "Of course, even our regiment commander personally led the guerrillas out to stop the enemy this time. I don't know if they have returned to the camp safely."

Stannis was delighted in his heart. He suddenly pointed to his nose and said, "Then can you take me back to your garrison together? I want to meet that Legion Commander named Hamilson."

"What! Boss, privately interviewing the high-level officials of the enemy country is a crime of treason, and you will be hanged!" Robert immediately jumped out to scare him when he heard his thoughts.

Stannis waved his hand indifferently, "How could it be such an exaggeration, isn't the war between us and Rhodoks already over? It's just a routine diplomatic meeting."

But Robert leaned forward and covered his mouth with his hand and whispered, "It's okay for the old emperor to talk, but if you really do this, it will arouse the anger of the lords. Maybe someone will find you unhappy and send someone to kill you."

The lord was so frightened by his words, he touched his head with his hand embarrassingly and discussed with Romulo with a naive smile, "Look, the situation is not so safe yet, can we send a diplomat secretly?" Come and get in touch."

"Why do you want to contact my chief?" Romulo said bluntly. These words of Stannis also aroused his vigilance. After all, the two sides have only ceased fighting for a long time, and they may become enemies again at any time.

"Didn't you just say that too? The huge shadow of doomsday is about to fall on us, and we need to be fully prepared for the last battle. Since you want to share the same hatred with Erasia, you can't always do these things to save people silently." It’s a good thing to leave a name, and I look forward to the conscientious discovery of these elm-headed lords to show their favor to you. Do you always need an internal person as a contact! Hahaha!"

"Boss, don't you want to be a traitor?" Robert saw his thoughts and said with contempt.

"For the sake of the unity of mankind, I am willing to sacrifice myself!" Stannis patted his chest and said righteously.In fact, his real purpose is to see that these Rhodoks are so capable of fighting, so he has a lot of admiration for the people who trained them, and hopes that the legion commander named Hamilson can send some instructors to help him train the army. It is enough for half of them to be able to fight.

As for this kind of political matter, Velen, who is a soldier, obviously can't handle it. He only thinks that this is indeed a good thing, which is in line with the essence of the speech of the legion commander, so he nodded, "I will go back and report this to the commander. situation, but this matter must be kept secret.”

"Of course, of course, only the three of us know about this matter. If anyone leaks it, I will do it myself..." Stannis bared his teeth and stared at Robert as he spoke, his little brother shuddered.

Soon, after reaching a consensus, the Rhodoks' army left the field.But just half an hour later, the expeditionary army also headed south with the wounded soldiers, and almost everyone didn't want to stay on this snowy field covered with black water for another second.

And those corpses, except for a few lords, most of them were abandoned on the battlefield, and they will only come back to bury them in the spring of next year, if the corpses can still be found at that time.

It is said that in the spring of the second year, the flowers on this grassland bloom extraordinarily lushly, as if being watered by blood.

In this expedition, although there were nine deaths and one catastrophe, Stannis seemed to have gained a new life. He almost died at the hands of monsters, but he also awakened his strength; knowing that he was betrayed by his closest people, he also gained many allies.

He believes that after knowing the true face of Duke Garcia, those surviving lords may contribute to their resistance to the Garcia family's ascension to the Duke position in the future, even if they are neutral and do not make trouble.

On the way back, they passed the village where they camped on the first day. At this time, there was no longer a living person in it. The villagers had already turned into monsters and were all wiped out in the previous snow field battle.

Stannis stood in front of the ruins of the warehouse for a long time, unwilling to leave. He knew that the girl who once leaned on his shoulder would never come back.

"Boss, don't be sentimental there, let's go! We have to enter the Wolf family's territory before dark!" Robert urged loudly in the distance.

Stannis shook his head, turned and walked towards the crowd, but at the moment he turned his head, he had a sad smile on his face, because he saw a beautiful butterfly resting in a corner of the warehouse. On the back of a praying mantis, the two are as motionless as statues, and it seems that the two will never be separated.

Only one-third of the remaining expeditionary force went their separate ways after entering the Worf's territory. Before parting, Stannis and Seaworth had a short reunion. Wayne, Phibos and Turania also knew He made an alliance again, and they all joined in happily, because they knew that they, who were regarded as thorns in the eyes of the Duke, must now unite to have any hope of surviving.

"Then let's meet again next time." After Seaworth finished speaking, it meant that this adventure would come to an end.

"Well." Stannis nodded, he suddenly laughed, and said in a joking tone: "Before we meet next time, you don't want to die! Because the ultimate goal of the Duke is to cut us all off, if any of us is killed by the Duke Get rid of it in advance, those of us who live will not let you off as a traitor!"

Everyone laughed. They would never have imagined that with the power of these few people, they would turn the entire principality upside down.
