Four-Armed Divine Emperor

Caesar looked at the prisoner in front of him, who was covered in blood and could barely make out that he was a man with his hands tied behind his back and kneeling on the ground, and shook his head.

The transformation of the gene seed failed. Perhaps it was due to willpower, physical fitness, or simply bad luck. After entering the man's body, his gene seed failed to follow the normal process: devouring - transforming, transforming the man's blood, bone marrow, and every cell into the Four-Armed Seal.

Something went wrong halfway through, or perhaps the simple man just couldn't hold on any longer.

He began to tremble violently, with numerous wounds appearing on his body. He coughed and spat out blood along with fragments of internal organs, his bones deformed, and his hair fell out...

"Pity."

"I really hope you can be my son." He sighed, and a hint of regret appeared on the beautiful face of the agile female mountaineer in the mountains, who looked three-quarters like Al and more like his mother.

Caesar then drew the dagger from his waist, ready to end the prisoner's suffering as soon as possible.

He met the other side during an encounter while scouting the enemy situation. The latter showed a firm will and courage, as well as excellent martial arts, so he was valued by Caesar. After being captured, he quickly donated blood to the latter, intending to have an outstanding offspring for himself.

Chapter 94: Field Battle

However, when Caesar decided to end the man's life, the latter's body suddenly changed drastically. His back arched high, and two huge tumors protruded, trembling rhythmically like a heart.

It's not like a completely useless deformity caused by physical collapse and mutation.

This aroused Caesar's curiosity, so he stopped and continued to observe the man's transformation.

......

"Normans?"

A team of the king's cavalry stood on a small hill, gazing into the distance.

On the plain, there was a group of cavalrymen with purple and red flags with coiled dragons, standing guard beside a group of civilians who were migrating with their luggage and families.

"Who are those? Slaves taken by the Normans?"

The cavalry commander of Karlvik casually asked the local guide, who, with a somewhat embarrassed expression, explained:

"My lord, those people are rebellious people. They foolishly believed the enemy's lies and thought that the Gaelic Normans would really give them money if they went to Devon."

This was a very embarrassing matter, and the guide was a little embarrassed to talk about it.

After all, the residents in their own territory were easily fooled by the other side. When outsiders heard about it, they would not only think that the Norman policies were good, but also laugh at how incompetent the rule of Savia and Leon was, which had led to the complete loss of public support.

But to be honest, they also feel wronged!

Take the territory of Savia for example. You can't say that the local governance is very good, but it certainly can't be said that it has caused public outrage and resentment.

At most, it is the average level in Blaeo. If it is expanded to the entire Thurso area, it may be considered a decent living standard.

Why do you like running so much?

Chapter 122

[It’s mind control, I added mind control—By El]

This time, Leon Savia lost face in the surrounding areas. Not to mention the losses caused by consecutive defeats, the population loss caused by being abducted and voluntary migration has already seriously damaged their vitality.

Moreover, this time they were saved from annexation only because of the intervention of the king's army. It can be predicted that after the war, they will inevitably lose a lot of their interests to Calvik, and may even be reduced to a vassal of Calvik, a "quasi-kingdom".

When the Kingdom of Bleio was first established, the founding monarch was quite martial and his words were law. Otherwise, he would not have been able to leave behind the honorable title of "King of All the Survivors of Asta" for his descendants. The other kingdoms also had more or less special respect for the king of Bleio.

But after so long, there was nothing they could do when they encountered some bad guys along the way, and soon there was a situation where all the princes rose up. But fortunately, they also met a "master of diplomacy" who finally allowed everyone to maintain a united situation. The major territories and feudal lords were highly autonomous, and they only had the obligation to pay tribute to Karlvik, and not much else. Correspondingly, the king did not need to bear too much responsibility, and might even be happy to see his subjects suffer heavy losses in foreign wars and ask for exorbitant prices, such as Devangel.

For Savia, this might be a slightly better outcome than being completely annexed by the Normans, who have the support of mages.

Caesar and his entourage's direct and forced invitation of the gentry and nobles from the occupied lands to "visit" Normandy has largely undermined the political rules of the Blaeo Kingdom.

This is equivalent to being deprived of everything and then being kept in captivity!

They also didn't know what the current situation of those prominent figures who were forcibly relocated was, and precisely because they didn't know, they couldn't help but think of the worst. Although the result should not be "all gone to the muddy current", this behavior itself was enough to make the powerful people fear Norman like a tiger and firmly support the resistance.

"Ready to fight!"

Whatever the answer was, it was not surprising that the commander of the cavalry squad gave the order to attack.

They are the proud descendants of Asta and the elite king's personal army. They are equipped with the best equipment, outstanding martial arts and discipline not only in Bleo but also in all the surrounding kingdoms.

He was not afraid of the enemy in front of him at all. Even when facing enemies that were several times his number, the commander was confident that he could lead his subordinates to escape unscathed.

Strictly speaking, the Kingdom Army has not yet officially fought against the Norman Legion. During the Second Three Land War, the troops sent by Calvik to support the two families were mercenaries recruited by the throne. As a king, it was not convenient for Franz to directly use the Royal Army to interfere in the war between the nobles of the territory when there was no justification.

But no one expected that the two coalition forces would be defeated again.

The team leader was thinking of leaving a few people alive and bringing them back for interrogation. It would be great if he could find out whether Lord El had come to the west.

Of course, these soldiers who were scattered on the front line, both as scouts and guerrillas - anyway, they were fighting on the front line with their heads hanging on their belts, so most of them were not qualified to know these military intelligence.

The king's cavalry, holding a white flag with a golden horseshoe, rushed towards the Norman army that was "escorting" the migration of civilians.

They did not rush directly into the enemy's face recklessly, but first divided into two teams, circling the left and right sides of the Norman cavalry, while using light crossbows hanging outside the saddle to shoot at the enemy. Even if there was only a chance to shoot one shot in the whole battle, it was worth it as long as they could kill the enemy before officially engaging the enemy.

Crossbows are not very popular in other places because their concealment poses a certain threat to low-level mages. If it is a heavy crossbow, it can even be sniped.

So in the same way, if the leader likes something, the subordinates will follow suit. After all, most mages in the entire mortal world are below the fifth ring. They are disgusted by these weapons that may get them killed without knowing why. Therefore, the secular world restricts their popularity and regards them as "dishonorable and despicable tools."

But in the Thurso area, people are not as roundabout as the "city people". They are afraid of death and have to come up with some fancy reasons.

It's polite to fire a shot at each other when you meet. This light crossbow used by cavalry is very expensive. Only the knights of the king's territory can afford this equipment. It's normal to spend money to buy equipment to improve strength just to take into account all aspects as much as possible.

In the first encounter, two riders were shot in vulnerable parts, either in the face, throat, waist or abdomen, and fell off their horses.

The Norman knights were caught off guard, but they quickly reacted and dispersed their formation. The leading commander made a brief choice and led the main force to chase the enemy on the right wing, while a few knights lingered in place, alert to the enemy behind them.

As for the civilians who had been walking all the way, after the king's cavalry launched the attack, they immediately gathered together on the spot, with the elderly, women and children in the middle and the men outside. They threw their gift bags outside and acted as if they were shrinking their heads and letting the two sides fight. However, no one bothered them.

Soon, the battle was over.

Wang led his army to victory in this encounter.

But the price paid also made the commander feel unbearable pain and shock.

They were outnumbered 19 to 15, killed 6 Norman cavalrymen, but also sacrificed 5 of their own riders!

He couldn't even take down the purple dragon flag!

During the battle, the enemy left a deep impression on the commander, both in terms of skills and fighting spirit. These Norman cavalrymen who shouted "Holy Master!" and "For the teachings of Ai'er!" showed their bravery and fearlessness. They were very difficult to deal with. If it were not for the enemy's commander's insight,

Chapter 123

He ordered a retreat when the situation was unfavorable, and he himself wanted to withdraw the entire army because he was worried about the casualties.

If they were the enemy's elite, this would be acceptable, but the cavalry commander felt that these soldiers who came to relocate civilians were unlikely to be the enemy's elite...

"The Savians deserved their defeat" and "It looks like this battle will be difficult"

Two thoughts emerged in the commander's mind one after another.

Chapter 95: The War is About to Begin

The hideous and horrible alien was feasting on the corpse of its comrade, but the man was terrified. He saw the monster, which only had a somewhat human appearance on its face, was red all over and had huge fleshy wings on its back, right next to him. It cut open the commander's stomach and devoured his internal organs, and he didn't dare to move.

Caesar was riding on a scorpion-tailed lion. Seeing that such a long time had passed and no reinforcements had arrived, he guessed that the other side probably had no intention of sending any more troops. So he shouted, and the scorpion-tailed lion flapped its wings and flew into the sky, flying away into the distance.

The monster that was devouring the dead body also took a few steps back, flapped its wings while running, and flew away following the departing figure of the manticore.

The man breathed a sigh of relief, but was soon picked up by several Norman warriors, tied to their horses, and rode away, leaving ten bodies uncollected.

Several of the bodies had been disemboweled, and their deaths were extremely tragic.

Soon, Caesar returned to the headquarters of the Norman army's westward expedition. The manticore circled in the air for a while, then found an open space to land. A servant came forward, took the reins, and led Caesar's mount to the stable.

These servants are all genetic servants transformed from slaves, and are classified as "worker ants". Every mature offspring is served by three or four such servants. They have a little weak spiritual power. Although it is not enough to affect the material world, at least they will not be impersonated. Moreover, their natural obedience to the blood of the four arms will make them unconditionally execute the orders of the superior gene. They are loyal and useful.

Ai'er would specifically select those slaves who were old and sick. If they had blood relatives, he would use their blood relatives as a reward to allow them to accept transformation. In this way, the slaves who were considered "inferior consumables" in the eyes of mortals were mostly transformed into low-level basic servants. Although they had no combat power, they were easy to use and in large quantities, which was enough.

There are also some disabled or seriously injured soldiers who, if they seek other options, will actively request to accept the "Secret Technique of the Most Holy Sage Master", accept the transformation of the blood of the four arms, and be reborn.

The entire Western Expedition army consisted of 6,000 Norman soldiers and another 6,000 mountain fanatics.

In addition, Aisha, Cyrus, Caesar and other descendants and their servants, third-generation descendants, also numbered more than 600 people.

The number is huge, but the enemy they are facing is a coalition force with almost half the strength of the Kingdom of Blaeo.

Leon had been severely defeated, and the remaining remnants and Savia together had only 4,000 people, barely defending the capital of Savia, the city of Ovia.

But 6,000 elite soldiers from the royal territory have already been stationed here. Elsa gave up the idea of ​​attacking the city after a brief trial, also because of this elite force from the royal capital.

When King Franz mobilized his army to come to Auvers-sur-Oise, he had not yet made the decision to directly join the war. However, after the news came back that the envoys were discovered to have colluded with local nobles and were imprisoned by the Normans, Calvik had no choice but to take action himself.

The king led an army of 6,000 men, along with dozens of other noble families, both large and small, who joined the war against the "unjust expansion of the Devengaelic Territory" at the king's call.

But everyone knows the real purpose, which is to restrict Lord El from acting recklessly in the country of Brio.

No one wanted to change the king over their heads from a secular monarch with whom they had been dealing for decades, with whom they all tacitly followed a set of rules of the game, and who was essentially the same as themselves, who would age, get sick, and be killed by swords, to a mysterious and powerful transcendent being of whom they knew nothing.

The unknown is not scary, there are difficult kings, but they are all mortals. If a superhuman ruled the country... it would cause a drastic change in the political ecology of the entire country.

If a transcendent being does not regard mortals as human beings and acts recklessly when he comes to the secular world, then he is undoubtedly the most terrifying tyrant for mortals, even more troublesome than a simple tyrant and cruel lord.

After all, mortals have limited strength and an upper limit. If they are too powerful and can't survive, the worst that can happen is to risk their lives and send an assassin to take a gamble.

But it is less effective against mages, and the retaliation is even more brutal.

The series of "projects" carried out by those mages in Serso almost caused the population of this place to experience negative growth for several consecutive years. No matter which tribe they were from, anyone who experienced it had a deep memory of it.

After seeing that the king had taken the lead in restricting the mischief of the wizard who had turned the tables and controlled the territory of Devangel, the princes in Brio all sent some reinforcements to show their support. This part of the coalition army had 7,000 people, but was under independent command. The nobles voted and jointly elected three "military tribunes" to lead the troops. This was an ancient tradition of the Asta people, who temporarily granted command authority.

The locals were also worried that the king would drag their troops to their deaths in order to weaken the power of the nobles. Although Franz was a stable and conservative monarch with no signs of centralization or strengthening of royal authority, people's hearts were revealed.

These three groups, plus some scattered guerrilla forces composed of landlords and warriors who suffered losses due to the arrival of the Normans, had a total of more than a thousand people.

Chapter 124

There are nearly 20,000 soldiers capable of fighting.

The military strength is almost doubled.

Devengail had tried his best to gather an army of 12,000 men, of which 3,000 were actually reinforcements requested from surrounding territories. King Franz at the time also sent a 300-man force to support them - but in the form of mercenaries. Karlwijk paid for the mercenaries' services and sent them to work for Devengail, not as an official kingdom support force.

Therefore, he spent most of the family savings and recruited almost all the mercenaries he could find around him. In the end, he was still defeated by the Xerxes people led by Grace.

Now, after a period of recuperation, even with the eastward expansion of Aiel, the Wall Plain and the border mountains were brought under direct jurisdiction. In the eyes of the nobles of Brio, those remote and poor mountains and waters could only provide the Normans with some cheap barbarians as cannon fodder.

Even if there were many adventurous mercenaries attracted by the previous eastward expansion movement, the number of troops that Devon Gale-Norman could mobilize would definitely not exceed 20,000.

The Blaio coalition had an absolute numerical advantage.

In this situation, the mortal army does not have an advantage, and the only breakthrough point is to make up for it from the extraordinary people.

But even if we take a broader view, with the female wizard of Xerxes also joining the other side, Norman still has two wizards in charge.

But the coalition also has two mages, and one of them is O'Connor, a senior mage who has been working in the local area for many years and has worn three rings for nearly ten years.

There is another one, Shirel, a fourth-ring mage who has only been in the Serso area for two years.

No matter how you look at it, given that the enemy most likely has only two third-ring mages, and our mortal strength is almost twice as strong as theirs, we can completely use ordinary soldiers to consume the opponent's magic power first, and then use our mages to fight - the coalition is almost certain to win.

King Francis did not command the battle himself. Instead, he sent his most trusted King's Hand to lead the army on his behalf.

In fact, in this war, victory or defeat at the mortal level does not mean much.

He would not pursue a transcendent person relentlessly unless the other party threatened his bottom line.

More importantly, by showing off the king's muscles, the wizard can understand the upper limit of his own power. Senior brothers who are more powerful than him are all working for the secular king. You, a newbie who may be just starting out, should not be too ambitious and sit at the border to achieve downward compatibility - the dream of rectifying the workplace.

Chapter 96: Imminent

The banks of the Lysa River.

The Norman army was stationed here.

Just like the previous expedition against the northeastern tribes, the commanders of this army were still the descendants of Aisha, Cyrus, and Caesar.

Ansuna, the high-ranking knight who was once a rare and powerful figure in the entire Kingdom of Brio, has now completely transformed into an internal affairs officer and a palace concubine.

Every day he either works on Norman or on Al.

Most of the time the two were mixed together, and Ansuna liked to give El oral sex after processing some documents, emptying her mind, and just eating what was in her mouth and waiting for something delicious.

Sometimes I also like to read documents while riding on Al or being pressed under Al.

Anyway, this master and servant pair can be considered an "old married couple" in these aspects. If it were in the original world, at this point, they would inevitably encounter problems of looseness. Fortunately, the high-level knight's physical recovery ability and El's ability to achieve alternative magic replenishment and body transformation effects prevented his harem from having such problems.

So every time, both men and women have a great time...Eru can even use his psychic powers to distort reality, making him bigger or smaller, and even maneuvering with the agility of a snake...
