Lords go left, Emperors go right

Along with the cavalry, there were also several hundred archers who died. Chris was very cunning when choosing people. The archers she killed from a distance were all skilled archers. She also killed all the archers with some skills on the other side, leaving only a group of archers who were inaccurate and whose archery skills were about the same as outlining a human figure. This round of attack directly killed the elite of the Waldo Free Army. The archers of the chaotic army lost their core, the cavalry was useless, and only the infantry was left.

The Victork Vanguard did not send troops to participate in the siege of Fort Bliss. The religious armed forces composed of Black God followers seemed to be hiding in the dark and watching the show. They watched the battle from the sidelines and watched their allies suffer without taking any action. It is unknown what they are plotting, maybe they have other plans.

Osta had no plans to be completely wiped out by the three armed forces for the time being. The other side had existed in the northwest of the Bloomfield area for many years and had been operating for a long time. Suddenly they were all wiped out. That power vacuum could not be filled in a short time by the more than 20,000 people under Randall. Therefore, it was best to eliminate them slowly and step by step. Rapid annihilation was not the best option.

Shortly after the battle of Fort Bliss ended, in the rear, at the headquarters of the Waldo Free Army, their leader Grund, the self-proclaimed Grand Marshal of the Free Army, was still unaware of what was happening on the front line. It was said that Grund's rank before his defection was only a lieutenant, but after becoming a deserter, he shamelessly promoted himself to the title of Grand Marshal.

"Marshal, something big has happened!"

"What are you arguing about? Can't you see I'm busy..."

"Marshal, our frontline troops have already..."

"What? Impossible. How could Randall have such a strong foreign player?"

"Marshal, it's true. All the cavalry regiments have..."

Chapter 84: The Special Envoy to Bridges

In the northwest of the Blomfield region, on the border with the Bridges region, at the Bliss Stronghold commanded by Randall, Lord Osta came with Chris and his three exclusive maids to accept Randall's surrender. At the same time, more than 20,000 armed men who followed this fallen nobleman and more than 60,000 residents living in the fortress were also recruited.

This gentleman prince recruited male subordinates for the first time, which was a little different from the previous model of recruiting members of local primitive tribal clans. The leaders of the latter were all ladies, and their loyalty was much higher than that of the former. Osta planned to enfeoff Randall as the lord of the area, allowing him to maintain a certain degree of independence and autonomy. He would not interfere too much in the specific management. Randall could gain the loyal support of more than 60,000 people, and he was capable and kind, and was competent for the responsibility of defending the land.

In addition to the Bliss stronghold commanded by Randall, there are three other armed forces on the northwest border, namely: the Waldo Freedom Army, the Allen Alliance and the Victor Vanguard Group. Each name is more orthodox than the other, but these names cannot conceal their identities as outlaws. The news that Osta came to recruit Randall was somehow leaked. After the news leaked out, the Waldo Freedom Army and the Allen Alliance immediately joined forces to attack Osta.

These arrogant criminals soon paid the price. With a round of precise strikes from Chris, the attack was repelled. The trump card of the Waldo Free Army was basically gone. More than 2,000 cavalry troops, including the men and horses, were gone. Together with the elites in the archer unit, their cavalry and archer legions were destroyed, leaving only the infantry legion.

The Waldo Free Army has a total of more than 30,000 people. Its members are deserters from various territories. They are a group of rebels and are essentially a group of soldiers and bandits. Their leader, Grund, named himself the Grand Marshal of the Free Army. According to rumors, this guy's rank before defecting was only a lieutenant. After becoming a deserter, Grund directed and acted out a promotion to the title of Grand Marshal.

After the battle, Osta took advantage of the situation to launch a special operation against these outlaws. It was not a good idea to annihilate the enemy directly, as there would be a power vacuum, and Randall could not take over so many places in a short time. Osta chose a decapitation operation, killing the enemy's boss and replacing him with an obedient agent. If he could not find a suitable puppet, he would let Randall recruit him.

The Waldo Free Army, relatively speaking, were all escapees from the regular army. If they were better managed, they could be converted into regular troops. Randall was in charge of how to discipline them. Osta only helped to send away the other side's original high-ranking officers. Shortly after the battle, Osta took Chris and the others and went directly to the base camp of the Waldo Free Army to cause trouble for the other side.

"Who are they? Why are they here? Run! They are not human beings."

"Why are you panicking? They are just a few women. Come on, capture them and enjoy yourself first... No, give them to the Marshal."

"Go ahead and die, I still don't want to die."

"I'm done with this. Whoever wants to work for that guy can do it."

"You think we are blind. We lost so many brothers in Fort Bliss before."

The base camp of the Waldo Free Army is a military camp that looks like a proper army. This Walter Military Camp is a military base in itself. As soon as Osta approached, the other side discovered these uninvited guests. The horrific scene at the Bliss Fortress before frightened these rebels and left them with psychological trauma. When they saw the other side approaching, most of the rebels did not dare to stop them and automatically gave way. The archers did not even have the courage to raise their bows and aim at the other side. After all, they were deserters and their military qualities were not good.

Of course, there were a few stubborn people who wanted to stop them, but Chris didn't have to do it herself. The floating swords around her attacked automatically, killing several captains on the spot. The rebels were all honest, and no one dared to die. The enemy killed people as casually as squeezing ants, and it was obvious that they were not able to fight. Basically, no one in the rebel army was stupid, and their loyalty to Grund was very low, almost like a part-time worker.

Chris had already cut several loyal captains in half on the spot, and the rest of the rebels, who knew the situation, turned against the enemy. The enemy did not kill them all, which showed that there was still hope. Osta used an ambiguous tone and asked a few tentative questions, and many of the tactful rebels surrendered on the spot, saying that they could lead Osta to find Grund.

After someone took the lead, the effect was obvious. More than 30,000 rebels quickly defected. The reason for desertion was basically the treatment issue. Randall had limited funds and it was difficult to support more than 20,000 people. If there was financial support, Osta would not have to do it himself. Randall could handle the Waldo Freedom Army by himself. At the beginning, many rebels envied the treatment of Fort Bliss, but they could not recruit too many people because the number of places was limited.

Osta said that as long as they accepted the reorganization and recognized his lord Randall as the new commander, the treatment would be easy to deal with. This gentleman prince was backed by the Obelisk Empire, so his credibility was guaranteed. With high salaries, almost all the rebels surrendered. There were very few stubborn elements who were not worthy of the surrender, and Osta did not need to deal with them. The other rebels who abandoned the dark and joined the light directly killed these ungrateful guys.

At the Bliss Fortress, Osta had demonstrated his strength, and then used economic means to quickly deal with the Waldo Free Army. The flag of the Walter Barracks was slowly lowered, and a new flag with the same pattern and logo as the Bliss Fortress was quickly raised. This outlaw force was the second to accept the reform. With the help of the guide party, Osta also found their former leader Grund, the guy who proclaimed himself the Grand Marshal of the Free Army.

"What are you arguing about? Who are these outsiders?"

"Grund, you sent someone to cause trouble for me before, and now you're pretending not to know me?"

"You are Osta, you are so brave to break into my camp. Come, take him away..."

"Grund, what do you mean your camp is my camp now? You are really stupid. Don't you see who is helping you?"

"You...you, a bunch of imperial lackeys, actually betrayed me. Back then..."

"Grund, your time is over. Let me give you a ride!"

"I...I haven't lost yet..."

Grund, the former leader of the Waldo Freedom Army, was a middle-aged fat man who looked more like a nouveau riche. He was far from a general. This guy had poor military ability and did not even notice that his subordinates had surrendered to the enemy. Grund had a savage expression at first, but when he saw that his other subordinates ignored him, he realized that something was wrong.

Grund turned around and was about to run away when he was hit by Chris's sword. The sword energy swept past and beheaded him on the spot. Osta felt much more relaxed. If Grund surrendered, it would be difficult for him to deal with it. It was worth considering whether to accept his surrender. If the opponent fled or resisted to the end, it would be much easier to deal with. Just kill him directly. The Waldo Freedom Army had done a lot of evil before. Even if they accepted Randall's recruitment, the previous things could not be easily let go. They needed to give an explanation to the outside world. The best candidate for the person to take the blame was naturally the former Grand Marshal Grund.

After the beheading, Grund's head was hung outside for public display. All the related crimes were attributed to the dead man, saying that he was the one who ordered it. The dead man would not explain anyway. The rest of the crimes committed by the Waldo Freedom Army were indirectly pardoned, saying that Grund ordered them. Since the mastermind was dead, the others did not have to bear the responsibility, and the followers were exempted from the crime. This practice did not comply with the relevant laws of the Obelisk Empire. However, this was the territory of Osta, and a certain gentleman had the final say.

After Grund died, Osta walked into the guy's tent and took a general look. In the tent, the gentleman prince saw three snow-white phantoms with graceful figures and charming curves on the big bed covered with snow-white sheets. These phantoms were extremely attractive, and it was difficult for people to get rid of the bold thoughts that appeared in the depths of their hearts.

The three terrified beauties lost all their equipment and had almost nothing to carry with them. They only kept the thin inner armor at the bottom, which was a classic triangular style. Apart from that, there was no other covering. From left to right, the first one had flaxen hair, a pair of dark golden eyes, and short hair that was shoulder-length and slightly refined. The only equipment left was a dark red classic triangular inner armor at the bottom, which was a lace design on both sides. The other equipment was gone. The size of the peak in front looked to be above F size, with obvious ravines, and it felt like it would be no problem to bury your face in it.

The phantom maintained a seductive posture of kneeling sideways, with her knees naturally down and her slender white legs slightly to the right. Her hands were not idle either, her left hand was holding the bed sheet down to support her upper body, and her right hand was placed horizontally forward, just holding the heavy peak in front of her from below to prevent it from sagging. On her pretty face, there was an ambiguous smile.

The second one has brown hair, a standard long straight hairstyle, which falls naturally to the back near the slender waist, a pair of brown eyes, and dignified and beautiful facial features. This person's equipment is also only a thin classic triangular inner armor, which is a special gray-white color. The inner armor is upward, and there are "V"-shaped straps on both sides, which invisibly increases the charm and temptation of the wearer.

The second phantom has a more subtle expression, inevitably full of concerns, and has no control over the future. He doesn't know how the new gentleman will deal with him. This phantom maintains a seductive posture of sitting sideways, with his knees down, and his slender white feet placed to the left, just opposite to the previous companion, giving a strong sense of déjà vu.

The size of the peak in front of the Phantom, according to a lady's visual inspection, can be confirmed to be above size F. The grooves are not squeezed in the same direction, but are obviously separated to both sides, and also feel heavy. The hands of this beauty are not idle at this time. The right hand is behind the back, gently pressing down on the snow-white bed sheet, as if it is necessary to maintain the balance of the whole body. The left hand goes up, passes the peak, and from the upper position, gently presses on the upper half of the right peak, deliberately attracting the attention of outsiders here.

The third phantom, the last one, has the same brown hair and coffee-colored eyes as the second one, and there are some similarities between their eyebrows. The relationship between the two is not ordinary, maybe they are real sisters. This phantom has a single ponytail hairstyle, with a medium-length single ponytail on the back of her head, which adds a lot of playful elements.

The last Phantom's equipment was still pitifully few, with almost all the items he carried gone, leaving only the thin inner armor of the classic triangular style, the color of which was still the snow-white color that symbolized purity and flawlessness, creating a huge contrast. The Phantom's expression was cold, and he pursed his lips without expressing his opinion. The size of the peak in front of him was also above F, and the peak squeezed towards the middle, forming a gully that was obviously much deeper. This basic condition alone was hard not to attract the attention of outsiders. In addition, the only thin triangular inner armor he was equipped with was designed with a special style of ropes on both sides, which made him extremely charming.

The phantom, like his companion, was kneeling, with his knees naturally down and his long, white legs placed to the left. His hands had other things to deal with, and his right hand was down, lightly pressing on the white bed sheet. In order to maintain the posture and support the upper body, his left hand was casually placed forward, with five fingers lightly pressing on the inner area of ​​the right knee in front. If you look closely, you can see that these three are very nervous, and their beautiful eyes are filled with fear.

"That guy is dead. You are free now and can leave at any time."

"Sir, we...we don't want freedom, we just want...just want to stay."

"Your previous identities were the daughters of a noble family in the Bridges area?"

"Sir, can you...can you accept us? Our noble status is long gone. Of course, as for the reward, we are willing to do anything."

"What do you think of this, Sophia?"

"Lord Osta, these people don't need my restoration magic. You came early, and that guy didn't succeed. As for the rest, it depends on your personal choice. I won't interfere."

The three beauties, who were only equipped with a thin triangular inner armor, confessed that they were nobles in the Bridges region before. Because they chose the wrong team in the battle for succession, they chose Randall. As a result, after Randy successfully seized power and inherited his father's position, he took crazy revenge on these nobles who chose the wrong team, directly depriving them of their titles and territories, and suddenly died in an accident after various persecutions.

The three beauties escaped at the last moment and became survivors. Their former noble status was gone. If Osta had come later, their thin armor might have been ruthlessly stripped off by Grund, and they would have fallen into a tragic end. In the tent, Osta saw the other victims. Compared with the first three, these had been repeatedly used by the great marshal and were in a broken state. They lay there motionless, their beautiful eyes slightly closed, and their snow-white skin was covered with various marks. On the highest peak in front and on both sides, there was a pair of shiny metal rings. With this special ornament, the snow-white neck was equipped with a black metal ring neck guard, and in front, there was a thin iron chain for traction.

These beauties put their hands behind their backs, and their wrists were fixed with black metal handcuffs. They were basically unable to speak. Under the seal of the black metal spherical props, they could not speak. When Osta came nearby, the phantoms heard the footsteps, slightly opened their beautiful eyes, and when they looked at Osta, they showed confused eyes. It seemed that Sophia was needed to recover them. The body could be restored and returned to the initial state, but the memory was difficult to modify. How much could be recovered was all up to fate.

After dealing with the Waldo Free Army, Osta suddenly became the supreme commander of this chaotic army. Before Randall took over, this gentleman prince temporarily borrowed these chaotic troops to deal with the Allent Alliance, playing the routine of inviting thieves to fight thieves. The members of the Waldo Free Army were deserters before, and they still have some fighting power. They are definitely not opponents against regular troops. However, if the enemy is replaced by ordinary thieves and general villains, their fighting power is enough to deal with the opponent more than enough.

The Allen Alliance has more than 50,000 members, all of whom are evil people, including bandits and fugitives who are afraid of crime. The real title is the Criminal Alliance, or the Sin Alliance is more accurate. A large number of them are felons who have committed many crimes and escaped after being sentenced to death. Osta does not intend to recruit these guys casually. After all, this gentleman prince still adheres to certain principles and basic bottom lines. He will not surrender those who are extremely evil. If Osta can't handle the extremely evil guys who don't obey management, then Randall will be even more unable to handle them.

It is rumored that Woodman, the current leader of the Allen Alliance, is a ruthless man who has killed dozens of people and has a criminal record of exterminating families. He is also violent. The truth of this rumor seems to be very high. In addition to the Allen Alliance, there is also the Victor Vanguard Group that needs to be dealt with. The Victor Vanguard Group has as many as 20,000 people, and the member structure is quite special. They are all believers of the Black God Cult.

The Black God Cult originated in the Southern Continent of the human race. The doctrines of this religious organization are relatively extreme and advocate sacrifice. It was publicly declared a cult by the Church of Light a long time ago. However, the countries in the Southern Continent have a bad relationship with the Church of Light and do not want the church's influence to extend into their territory. They prohibit church personnel from coming here to establish branches. As a result, the Black God Cult has been able to gain a foothold in the Southern Continent and has a certain status.

The Vidoc Vanguard was composed of members of the Black God Cult, and the religious atmosphere was obvious. The current leader was the high priest Garuda. Osta had never expected that the Black God Cult would come to his territory to make trouble. This gentleman prince was the current female pope of the Church of Light, the grandson of Maritia II, the appointed successor of the next generation of the Pope of Light, and the only one. It was impossible for him to sit idly by and watch these Black God Cult members.

"Sir, if you are willing to accept our surrender, we can provide you with intelligence about the Allent Alliance and the Vidoc Vanguard Army to help you destroy them."

"Besides these, do you have anything else that could interest me?"

"Sir, that guy didn't... didn't succeed. If you don't mind, we can... we can give you everything."

"This isn't very nice. How about I take you to Randall's place?"

"Sir, we knew Randall before. He...he is a very nice person, but he is not reliable. He is not as safe as you."

"Okay, I know. Tell me what you know."

........

———Dividing line——— (PS: Due to the needs of plot layout, the content of unifying the northwest border and eliminating the armed forces is placed in this chapter, and will probably appear in the next two chapters.)

Three days later, the neighbor Bridges, located northwest of Bloomfield, was one of the first to establish a territory in the Central Continent. It was established much earlier than Aosta, and was considered the first to "eat crabs". After seeing that it was profitable to develop overseas colonies in the Central Continent, the human countries in the four directions of the human continent arranged expeditionary forces to come here, opening the era of large-scale development of the Central Continent.

The former lord of the Bridges region, Earl Lanster, was a legendary figure. Earl Lanster was originally a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Stuart in the southern continent of the human race. He was a half-brother of the king and lost to the king in the political struggle for the right to inherit the throne.

Considering that his elder brother had influence in the kingdom, the king found a reason to give the earl of Lanster the title after he inherited the throne, and let him lead people to the Central Continent to open up new territories. At that time, the Central Continent had not yet been developed. Unlike now, there were garrisons and immigrants sent by various countries. It was a wild land. Being sent here was essentially like exile to the frontier, and was directly exiled overseas.

The Earl of Lanster eventually chose to rebuild his territory in the Bridges region, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Shortly after he was exiled, the Stuart Kingdom was defeated by the overlord of the human race in the southern continent in the war and was destroyed by other powerful empires. The royal nobles suffered heavy casualties, and most of the survivors were captured. The victorious country naturally divided up these special spoils.

Earl Lanster had a lucky escape and continued to be a local emperor in the Central Continent. Although he had lost his homeland and could not return to his hometown, the earl was still content. Being alive was a victory. The empire that destroyed the Kingdom of Stuart, as the new overlord of the Southern Continent of the human race, did not intend to kill them all. It was not cost-effective not to send people to the Central Continent to hunt down the lone royal member.

The disaster from the neighboring Francis region has affected the entire Bridges region, causing a rapid breakdown of order. The current lord, Randy, is a playboy. His ability to govern the territory is far inferior to that of his brother, Randall, who was expelled from the territory.

When Randy faced the natural disaster, he couldn't think of any strategy. The young master even seemed to have given up on himself, allowing the natural disaster to continue to run rampant. He almost said that he would give up, and he was already close to starting to fight.

"Where are you from? This is the border, we can't just..."

"Didn't you see the banner? Your master invited my master over some time ago, saying it was for a party, but now he's not welcome?"

"So you are brothers from the Obelisk Empire Army. I didn't see you clearly just now. Please go ahead. There is no need to check."

"Really, there's no need to check. Are you sure? This is the border, and there are so many of us going through there."

"No need, brother. The territory is in a state of exodus right now, and the border checkpoints have long been in name only. What we just did was just a formality. You can do whatever you want."

On the Bridges border, the garrison here was seriously deserted, and only three or five soldiers were left on duty at the border post that was originally used as a checkpoint. These garrison troops were poorly equipped, with only a set of breastplates and helmets, and their weapons were spears.

The equipment carried by the border guards looked very old, and the protective gear was rusty. There was not a single new one. It seemed that they had not replaced their equipment for a long time. The combat effectiveness of these soldiers was very low, perhaps even lower than that of ordinary militiamen, and they were just for show.

The defenders were tense at this time. A large army was coming from the direction of the Bloomfield area. This army had more than 10,000 people, equipped with black armor and wearing black cloaks. The weapons and equipment they used were all exquisite, and the swords flashed a frightening cold light.

The enemy soldiers wore black masks on their faces, which were matched with helmets. Except for the eyes, nose, mouth and ears, which had openings to leave space, the rest of the parts were tightly sealed.

After seeing the hanging flag of the Obelisk Empire Army, the defenders finally knew the origin of this army. It was the army under the lord of the neighboring Bloomfield area, Prince Osta. This time Osta was invited to attend the banquet here.

After inheriting the throne, the new Lord of Bridges, Randy, intended to gain recognition from his neighbors. One year after he took over the throne, he sent out a banquet invitation to the lords of the surrounding territories to attend his celebration, including an invitation to Osta.

Osta just saved himself the trouble and changed it to a public visit, taking advantage of the public visit to see the real situation of the neighbor's territory. In fact, this army is not the real Obelisk Empire Army. A gentleman prince provided weapons and equipment to Randall, allowing his more than 10,000 armed personnel to disguise themselves as the regular army of the Blomfield area. After changing into the standard equipment of the Obelisk Empire regular army, the armed personnel transformed into regular troops.

The bandits recruited by Randall were trained in a regular military manner, so they were surprisingly suitable to be disguised as imperial soldiers, and there was almost no sense of disobedience. The defenders believed it and thought that it was really the neighboring lord, Prince Aosta, who brought his army to the banquet.

The guards barely checked them, asked a few symbolic questions, which was not an interrogation, and then quickly let them go. They had no way to resist the enemy's army of more than 10,000 people, even if it was an invasion, so they simply ignored it.

After Randy became the lord, he drastically cut military spending, and the salaries of soldiers who were not his direct troops continued to decline. Wage arrears were commonplace, and over time, not many soldiers were willing to work for the lord.

Except for his personal guards, almost all of Randy's troops defected. The army left by the old Earl Lanster was completely defeated by his youngest son in less than a year. If the other party knew about it after his death, he would probably die with his eyes open and even crawl out of his coffin. Those guards were locals and had nowhere else to go, otherwise they would have run away long ago.

"Brother, before you arrive at Bragni City (the capital of the territory), it's best not to meddle in other people's business on the road, so as not to delay your journey."

"To be honest, everything is in chaos here, there is no order at all. It's so chaotic outside that even regular troops are in danger if they go out."

"Got it. Take this little money! It's a reward from our prince."

"Thank you, Your Highness Aosta. If I had known earlier, I would not have been with that loser Count Randy. I should have changed jobs earlier."

"We have a mission, so we won't stay here."

"Have a good time, brother. We are also preparing to find another way to make a living."

Aosta was in the big black carriage in the team, like an emperor going out for a trip, secretly directing everything in the carriage. The reward to the guards was also his instruction. After seeing the few gold coins handed over, the border guards were so excited that they almost knelt down to salute, as they had not received their salary for a long time.

Other lords were generous, unlike the lord of his own family, who was always thinking of cutting corners, and the military expenditures were cut to the minimum. Randall was the coachman, responsible for the posture outside the carriage, and in the carriage were Osta, and Sophia, Chris and Yulia, the three exclusive maids who accompanied them.

Osta wore a more formal outfit this time, a black dress with a gold-rimmed dragon pattern, indicating his status as a member of the imperial family. A certain gentleman prince would not normally dress so formally, but this time he was going on a visit, so he had to change his attire a lot. Perhaps it had been a long time since he had dressed so formally, and Osta felt a little uncomfortable. The golden crown on his head had always made him feel awkward and uncomfortable.

Chris and the other two were dressed more casually. The Gothic-style maid outfits were their daily work clothes. Their identities had always been the exclusive maids accompanying a certain gentleman prince, serving as head maids.

Of course, when necessary, Chris and the others would quickly transform into combat maids and go into battle. The army of more than 10,000 people outside was far less powerful than the three beautiful maids around them. Osta was checking the report that Randall had sorted out for him. Chris was behind him, helping to press his shoulders so that Osta could relax. Yulia was on the left, holding a dagger specially designed for the assassin profession, helping to cut fruit and set up a fruit plate for Osta.

After hesitating for a while, Osta finally accepted the exquisite fruit platter. He was afraid that this stunning beauty with black hair and black eyes would not change her professional habits and would use a poisoned dagger to cut the fruit. If that happened, the gentleman prince would be in trouble. If Sophia was present, it would not be fatal, but the process would probably be unpleasant.

Sophia is on the right, with her beautiful eyes slightly closed and her hands clasped together, like a priest or nun of the Church of Light, or a clergyman praying for blessings. The atmosphere in the carriage is very comfortable, giving people the illusion of being in heaven, which is the effect of Sophia's blessing.

The Bridges area was already shrouded in despair, and the environment outside the carriage was very depressing. Sophia helped Aosta avoid the effects of this terrible and depressing environment by praying. This stunning beauty with blonde hair and golden eyes, her blessing range, centered on the carriage, covered the entire army, and at the same time blessed tens of thousands of people.

"Lord Osta, don't worry too much. If Sophia is here, those bugs won't come."

"Chris, compared to this, I'm more worried that this place will get out of control. Someone will have to come and take in the refugees here."

"Lord Osta, just let Randall handle this matter. He should know what to do."

"Yulia, it's really terrible here. To be honest, I don't even want to get out of this carriage. Even the air outside the carriage is uncomfortable."

"Lord Osta, don't worry, our territory will not collapse like this. This is related to the personal ability of the lord. The lord here is far inferior to you."

"Sophia, you may be right. If the residents here can save themselves, it will be much better than the current situation."

Osta couldn't bear to look at the tragic scene outside the carriage. It felt like he had come to the war-torn African continent on Earth, with corpses everywhere. The only difference was that there were no vultures eating the corpses.

The victims seen along the way were all skinny. After seeing Osta's army, they all stepped aside to make way. From their wary eyes, it can be seen that these victims did not have a good impression of the army. They had been severely persecuted by Lord Randy's men before. They did not recognize the army's flags and could not tell that this army that came from afar was not in the same group as Lord Count Randy's army.

The equipment gap between the two sides was huge. Osta only relied on the more than 10,000 armed forces under Randall, which was enough to capture the Bridges area, and he didn't even need to use his direct armed forces. After Randall integrated all the armed forces in the northwest, he could organize an army of 50,000 to 60,000. He had the troops to take revenge, fight back to the Bridges area, take back the title he once had from his brother Randy, and take back the lost status and land.

Randall is a good guy, so he would never do that. Osta didn't support him either, and he didn't dare to take over Bridges, a hot potato. According to Randall's investigation report, some of the dead refugees carried certain insect eggs on their bodies when they fled, and directly became hosts for the parasites.

After the other person died, the bugs crawled out of his body. The scene was quite terrifying. This was not something that locusts could do. The situation in the Bridges area was much more complicated than expected.

Osta had not thought of a solution to the problem of parasite eggs. He could not solve the problem, but only the people with the problem. That method was too simple and crude. The number of residents in the Bridges area was over 100,000. If they were all killed, Osta would not want to bear the notoriety of massacring civilians, so he needed to find another way.
