Warhammer

The Beastmen did suffer heavy losses in that battle. According to the reports of the advance corps and the tribe, the number of the greenskin vanguard tribe was around 50,000 to 60,000. They were almost wiped out, with only a very small number of defeated soldiers escaping.

This was a glorious battle. The greenskins only deployed less than 100,000 troops in the Battle of the Gedazz River, facing the strength of most of the Northern Army at that time.

The messenger estimated that the beastmen's own casualties were at least one-third or half of their own military strength. Under such circumstances, it was indeed not a good idea to urge the tribe to send troops, which would inevitably cause displeasure on the other side and even turn against each other.

No one would ambush someone else's house and ask them for help in finding their daughter. The boss of the other person would personally go to help with his guards, and then after trapping the person, he would blame the other person for not contributing enough and holding them back, right?

Don't you agree, Tyrion?

Chapter 5: Ai'er's Day, Everyday

that's all.

Naturally, it was a play specially staged by Al and performed specifically for the envoy.

We just want a legitimate strike.

The support has no health, no mana, no flash, and is retreating to interrupt. The opponent's Noxus comes with half health, and you want me to go up?

I will attract the fire, it will pierce me, then go through Pina and stab you in the abdomen. I will use the lives of my entire clan to block the knife for you. Do you think this is possible?

Finally, the envoy had to return north with regret, but he left behind the twenty boxes of gold, silver and other valuables. Ten of them were originally intended to be used to subsidize the tribe in the name of military expenses in exchange for sending troops. Now the matter of sending troops has not been negotiated, but the envoy had obtained the name of the parliament before he came. Regardless of whether it was successful or not, those things were intended to be handed over to the tribe. First, it could gain a good reputation. It is said that the beastmen of the tribe are trustworthy and vengeful, and they will repay kindness and repay grievances. They traveled thousands of miles to rescue Weiling, but after the rescue, they turned against the tribe on the spot because the Weiling people were stupid and treated the tribe coldly.

For such a group of people, it is best to please them and improve their favor when you need them. They may even go through fire and water for you.

What if?

Second, the Pina Forest where the Beastmen are located is in the central part of Estalia, surrounded by the kingdom’s territory. If the Beastmen want to trade, they have to spend money, and they are the only way. Could it be that these tribes in the forest can also trade across dimensions?

Give them the money, and as long as they need it, it will eventually return to the hands of the Estalia people. If they don't need it, it will just be left there anyway.

The congressman who expressed this view received applause. For the northerners who were about to face war, money was not the most important thing (if they failed and everyone just disbanded and ran away, that was another matter). What was most important was being able to convert the money into power that could play a role and influence the outcome of the war.

The Estalia people are still relatively rational in this regard. They will double, triple, or even quintuple the reward. As long as someone is willing to be hired to help fight the greenskins, the Northern Parliament will not be stingy with the spending.

If ten gold coins could kill a greenskin, the Estalia people wouldn't feel sorry at all and would just throw the money at it.

The South was stunned by the decapitation tactics. If Margarita had been prepared, even if the Invincible Fleet had not been destroyed, the greenskin army would not have been able to surround and kill Margarita so easily. They would have taken advantage of the South's lack of leader to sweep across the country and then march north.

If there had not been the previous confrontation between the North and the South, the Kingdom Legion should have been stationed outside Margarita, instead of crossing the Gedaz River to stalemate with the Northern Army. In the end, they split up and returned. Some were trapped and died in Margarita, some were defeated by the swarming greenskins, and some retreated to the north when they saw the situation was not good. Now they have become part of the Northern Army...

At this point, there is nothing we can do.

The messenger left with regret. After bidding farewell to the messenger, the headquarters also swept away the sad atmosphere of "every household in mourning" and resumed the daily routine of constant laughter, vitality and vigor.

The tribe had a consensus on refusing to send troops. The mist of Lilith had already covered the Pina Forest. At least the tribe's location was absolutely safe. The Northern War had not yet reached a strategic decisive battle, a moment of life and death. Sending troops at this time was clearly because the powerful lords of the kingdom wanted the people and beasts in the Pina Forest to attract firepower.

Ai'er would never send troops at this time. He was the one who had the final say among the beastmen, and they obeyed him completely. Although the refugees had enough food, many of them still cared about their country and felt that they should do something. However, swords were in people's hands, and the kingdom's actions did make the refugees feel uncomfortable, otherwise they would not have converted to the Four Mothers and joined the tribe.

At the critical moment of life and death, someone might want to step forward and do something, but now...

I haven't eaten that much yet.

After sending the messenger away and the tribe returning to normal, Al also returned to his daily routine of getting up from the bed full of fragrant jade, white arms, long legs, and plump breasts during the day, punching in for work, playing a few rounds during lunch break, reading some documents, or having sex with a concubine (several things can be repeated and done at the same time), handling official business with his children in the afternoon, visiting various places for field investigations, finishing work in the evening, and either fishing for a while or running on the street in disguise since he had gotten off work early.

The days were full...and debauched.

Of course, most of the time it is still relatively normal, except for a few cases where the sexual desire increases dramatically, El Tou Tou usually stops at the right time, and will not do it for a whole day and night, from morning to night.

Like being woken up by a good morning bite in the morning, when you get up to change clothes and clean up, the boy's spear in the lower body is still in a warm mouth or lamb vagina;

When reading at noon, one or two wives, maids, or holy warriors would kneel under the desk. Above, a quiet and beautiful young man would concentrate on holding a book of poetry, while below, a fairy would hold a longevity peach and two rabbits would suck the brush, which was a contrast to their behavior.

This kind of thing is rare, very rare.

Al lived a relatively healthy life (big boo).

Now the tribe is still in its rising period, with great challenges and many opportunities, as well as many difficulties and obstacles in the future. Therefore, Al must be diligent and work frantically with his brain, and the second brother must also be working frantically. This is a way to relieve stress, relax, and face challenges in a better state!

Can't say it's excessive...

"Huh... Just like that, don't move, let me watch for a while."

Al held his wife's waist with one hand and gently pressed his wife's head with the other hand, and released all of the semen of the Eternal God's Chosen One on his wife's face and breasts. He breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his head to look at the beautiful face that was stained by the white liquid, which was dignified but unyielding, and more lewd and erotic.

Never tire of it.

Mrs. Black, Yedi Ya knelt behind the boy, kissing his hands and back behind his back, one hand on his thigh, and the other hand holding the spear, gently stroking it for him.

"ha........"

Al looked for a while, raised his head, and gently patted the black lady Yediya's hand, and the woman obediently left his body.

The two ladies knelt on the expensive carpet from the Araby Sultan's palace, completely naked, with plump bodies and equally plump and upright breasts that weighed heavy in their hands.

One of them had traces of the boy's ejaculation all over her upper body, saliva, body fluids, from head to chest, looking extremely obscene.

Al looked back and felt that there was still a lot of time, so he patted Mrs. Black's shoulder and motioned her to come in front of him and face Malena.

The two ladies were pressed together face to face, and the two pairs of irresistible great objects were also pressed together.

Al walked around them, but finally chose to start with Yediya, who was no wetter than Mrs. Malena.

He held the woman's hips, lifted her up, mounted her with his gun, and penetrated slowly.

And Yediya was very obedient. She leaned forward consciously, stuck out her tongue, and rolled the traces left on the wife's body between her upper and lower red lips, cleaning the battlefield for the two of them.

Al was sprinting back and forth, feeling pleasure, but at the same time he was feeling irritated because he had a full schedule of government affairs scheduled for the afternoon.

I am so annoyed. I want to just lie down and have everything done for me. I don’t want to work. I want to have a party…

In this regard, Al is quite good at self-regulation. He encouraged himself:

"The greenskins are like mad dogs, the dry bones in the graves of the Estalia people, they will be captured sooner or later!"

"One moment of suffering is better than eternal happiness!"

By then we’ll have broken into the city and entered the pass, huh!

We should learn from Egil, Baldwin, and Prime Minister Cao Mengde!

Chapter 6: Invincible Al's Military Expansion Plan

Of course, Al's work during this period did produce a lot of results.

The recruitment activity among the surrendered Estalia people is ongoing. Ai'er's initial plan is to select one out of twenty of the more than 200,000 refugees to provide him with at least 10,000 troops. Including the existing mortal auxiliary troops and militia, there will be three legions of 6,000 people each, totaling 18,000 people.

Considering the productivity of a tribe, this can be considered as excessive militarism, but Al took many factors into consideration.

First, under the current situation, developing military strength is the top priority. If we cannot win, nothing can be discussed. If we win, everything will be available.

Second, the tribe’s current production level, although there is extensive participation of magic, is still relatively backward after all, as the country is still in its infancy. However! The Pina Forest is now rapidly transforming into a magical forest, and the speed at which products and resources are naturally produced and developed is many times faster than in the past;

As far as the current progress is concerned, many human settlements can already feed the rest of the population and save food by relying on less than one-third of the labor force to perform gathering and hunting tasks, so the problem of conscription leading to a shortage of strong labor and affecting production can be ignored.

The most important point is the third one.

In the future kingdom of El, humans will inevitably still make up the majority of the population. Compared with the millions of southern humans in Estalia, even if the entire Pina Forest is searched, it is estimated that there will not be enough beastmen.

With such a huge disparity in proportions, it is inevitable that the human army will be formed and the composition of the army will shift towards humans. It is impossible for Ai'er to drag his base, the core beastmen, to fight from south to north and suffer continuous losses, while leaving the refugee humans, whose loyalty to him and faith in the Four Mothers are not so strong at the moment and who make up a huge proportion of the population, unused.

Just like the history that Al knew, "Ten Thousand Households Hereditary Marquisates", "Eight Banners of the Han and Mongolian Dynasties", "Green Camp", etc., they were all systems developed in response to needs when a minority of the main population ruled the majority.

Naturally, he would not use the tactics of using beasts to control humans or using the few to defeat the large, but no matter what, the Four God Beastmen were the absolute backbone and core of El's army.

For example, if all the Estalia refugees in Pina in Vering, Marus and Cheporio disappeared into the subspace in the next second, it would be like the Creator played a game, framed these refugees and clicked to delete them.

The development of the tribe would suffer a severe blow in an instant and its upward momentum would be cut short, but it would not affect the consolidation of Ai'er's rule in the slightest.

Ai'er still has tens of thousands of beastmen at his command, and can dispatch an army of 10,000-strong angry-horned beasts to fight for him at any time.

But if all the Beastmen suddenly disappeared, even if only half of them disappeared, El's rule would be shaken in an instant, and he would not even be able to gain absolute control over the interior of the Pina Forest. Not to mention relying on this sparse and pitiful Beastmen population to conquer the countless times larger Kingdom of Estalia and establish a stable rule.

At that time, El's best choice was to immediately take his belongings and leave the forest, infiltrate the human race, change his identity, and with the blessing of the Four Mothers and the support of "an army of beastman allies willing to fight for him" and most importantly, his own hard work, he could achieve the goal of crossing layer by layer, getting closer, and seizing the supreme power of the Kingdom of Estalia, receiving the Nine Gifts, becoming king, mounting the shield, and cheering "Long live the Kingdom" three times.

I don't know which is better, this set of procedures or bringing the beastmen into the civilized world.

The Estalia refugees, who outnumber the Beastmen several times, are peacefully engaged in production, living a simple life behind closed doors under the protection of fog and forests, while the Beastmen, who are a minority and whose gap will further widen in the future, continue to contribute their young and strong men to the battlefield at the call of the Four Mothers and the Eternal Chosen...With the intensity and frequency of wars in the medieval world, they are bound to perish in the end.

It's not a game. You can't just click the mouse and fill up the empty city.

Even the Sons of Aiur, whom he ridiculed as the blessed beastmen and offspring of the Beast Astartes, completed the process from conception to blood transfusion to childbirth, a period of as short as three to six months or as long as half a year.

It takes nearly half a year for them to fully grow, and one warrior is produced every year. This is already a very exaggerated speed. Except for the Skaven who create breeding machines like the Rat Mother, the Green-skinned Orks who grow from the ground by spreading spores, and the Undead who drive the remains of corpses, Aiur has opened the floodgates and bled, and the speed of mass production of soldiers should be ranked fourth in the world at the same scale.

But the consequence of this is that the number of beastmen born normally is scarce, and the tribal population cannot expand further. Newborns will be transformed into consumable warriors who grow and die quickly. Only Ai'er can decide which is better.

But there is no doubt that the formation of a mortal army is a foregone conclusion.

As their scale continues to expand, the role of the Beastmen will gradually shift towards backbone, elite, commander, and monster infantry.

The greenskins sent out an army of more than 200,000 men and marched northwards. They were going to steal their home, and later they would have to face the remnants of the Estalia. Of course, it would be another story if the Northern Parliament couldn't hold on and was overthrown by the greenskins.

And with Ai'er's wealth, it's hard to say whether the tens of thousands of beastmen in the tribe can withstand the consumption of several battles like the one in the Sacred Forest.

Form a loyal and reliable human army in advance. Their fighting ability can be cultivated through constant training and fighting.

More than half of the 8,000 mortal auxiliary troops were killed after the war. Including those who died of the wounds or retired, there are only a little over 5,000 left, which means that another 13,000 people need to be recruited.

If we take into account the advance corps headquarters that Al does not intend to let go and is looking for an opportunity to swallow up, the army will have to be expanded by nearly 10,000 more.

The earliest mortal auxiliary army was the volunteers who were willing to follow Aiel to fight against the greenskins under the city of Weiling. Encouraged by continuous victories, they were recruited by Aiel. They had witnessed countless times the roaring blood sacrifice of the Blood Mother's skull and the throne, and they had charged for Aiel and defeated the greenskins. These volunteers had a deep understanding of the power of the tribe and felt that the tribe was unstoppable. They had witnessed the blessings of the Four Mothers with their own eyes. This was undoubtedly a huge shock to the descendants who had experienced 150 years of development and the era of gods' disappearance, and whose faith had been greatly reduced and who were not as pious as their ancestors.

Most of them converted to the Four Mothers. Since Myrmidia ignored the suffering we experienced, the Estalia people could naturally choose the "true salvation" that was right beside them and could be seen by them to save the defeat in this world.

A few people still maintained their faith in the past, but when refugees emerged to oppose the kingdom and a large number of people converted to the Four Mothers and joined the tribe, they also converted.

After entering the forest and returning to his home, Al took absolute initiative, through which he peacefully integrated the remaining military forces in the refugee team, such as the city defense forces, militia and mercenaries of the three cities.

This is the origin and composition of the mortal auxiliary army.

They are relatively firm, and can be relied upon in most cases as long as they are not urged to attack the kingdom directly or to fight a losing battle. Previously, it was El who instigated the advance army to use force to suppress the strongholds that were unwilling to serve in the army as a warning to others. The mortal warriors of the auxiliary army were also willing to obey the orders of the tribe and stand before the advance army soldiers representing the kingdom.

Of course, it was the kingdom's inhumanity that caused the public outrage first, and the auxiliary soldiers, whose personnel were mainly from this group of refugees, were naturally willing to take actions to fight against tyranny with the support of the tribe.

The militia forces that were recruited later were relatively unreliable. They could only be said to be unified under the banner and direction of "fighting against the greenskins" and obeyed the command of the tribe.

It's okay to let them fight, but it may not be effective to let them do other things.

The purpose of Ai'er's military expansion is not only to strengthen combat effectiveness, but also to separate young and strong soldiers and civilians in this way, and to consolidate the converts' faith in the Four Mothers by taking a two-pronged approach in the legion and the tribe.

He has faith in the Four Mothers.

The current conscription work has barely been completed by one third. The first phase mainly recruits young and strong men who are single and have more than one strong laborer in the family. After they have enough food and water, the men are much more willing to enlist in the army, especially since the tribe has always been victorious, and Ai'er and his legion are inspired by the image of being invincible.

Regardless of whether they shouted those words from their own hearts or were driven by the trend, those who fought in her name would eventually become devout believers of the Blood Mother.

Chapter 7: Lobbying

When another group of envoys from the North who were sent to Pina Forest to request troops were rejected in a serious tone by El, it had been five months, nearly half a year, since El transformed himself into the enemy camp, met with the warlord, and the two sides reached a tacit armistice agreement, and then the greenskins marched north.

As the first city and the first barrier blocking the greenskins' advance, the siege around Diamonteri was declared over two months ago and the dust has settled.

As one of the only two cities in the central and western part of Estalia with access to the sea, the other one is Marus, which has long fallen and is now a base for the greenskins to advance.

Daimonteri's daily routine is to earn a little money by traveling overland through the trade route from north to south, while trying every means to compete with Marus in the south. Both sides hope to defeat the other and become a city that can dominate the middle section of the long western coastline of the Kingdom of Estalia.

Daimonteri has never been discovered, nor has his military role been taken seriously, either now or before the Great War.

Perhaps it only happened in the era when many kings coexisted and the countries were constantly in conflict.

After the Battle of the Gedaz River, it was inevitable that the northern part of the Estalia would be unable to go south to rescue, and the greenskin warlord used its main force to besiege Margarita, while dispersing it in various places to achieve deterrence through destruction and slaughter. Fear and the leading sheep effect made all parts of the south surrender after Margarita opened the city.

But despite this, the warlord never ignored the fact that half of the Kingdom of Estalia in the north was still resisting. After the Battle of the Gedaz River, the greenskin army pursued the defeated soldiers, crossed the river to the north, and was beaten badly by Aiel who suddenly appeared under the city of Viling. The plan to occupy Marus was also destroyed - it was only half completed. The city was occupied, but the people had all fled.

After Cheboriu was destroyed, the greenskin offensive in the north came to a brief halt before further reinforcements arrived.

During this time, the Northern Parliament frantically strengthened the defenses of the front lines, recruited soldiers, trained, and hired mercenaries...

But the greenskins still did not leave them much time. The greenskins' vanguard siege troops soon arrived at the city of Diamonteri and began a tentative attack. Although their strength was briefly weakened for a while due to the attack on the Pina Forest, with the arrival of the main force of the greenskins led by the warlord, the attacks soon became frequent again.

In this situation, the city defenses urgently reinforced by Daimonteri could only buy as much time as possible for the North.

Fortunately, the Estalia people were not so naive as to rely on a small town that was not very impressive before the war, especially when they had completely lost control of the sea, and the pirates and greenskins' artillery could unscrupulously pour down on the port of Marus. The threat of landing was like a dagger against the defenders' abdomen at any time. After a few months of hammering and beating, they could stop the aggressive greenskin army.

On the contrary, the "Fortress of Santa Mona" not far from Sahagen is a solid fortress built almost from scratch, employing the best human and dwarf engineers and mobilizing more than 200,000 civilians.

The Estalia people equipped her with a large number of artillery and stored sufficient supplies. As long as the defenders were determined to fight, they could hold out in the fierce battle for at least half a year.

The name "Santa Mona" comes from a legendary battle in the Estalia's neighboring country Tyrell, which took place during the siege of Monte Castro. At that time, there were only 500 defenders in the city, but it was surrounded by a reported greenskins. The greenskin warlords tried to seize the city as an outpost for the sudden Tyrell attack. With the sea supply line cut off by pirates or some more evil and despicable race... the Skaven, the defenders persisted in hunger for a year.

Until their commander was fatally wounded in a battle, his daughter, Mona Lisa stepped forward, put on her father's armor, pretended to be her father and commanded the defenders to defeat the enemy's attacks several times. After her identity was exposed, the truth of the commander's death caused the defenders' morale to collapse, and they decided to risk fleeing back to Tyrell, but finally decided to keep fighting under the encouragement of the woman.
