The defenders were excited and vowed to fight the greenskins to the death and die before the city fell. Finally, the defenders decided to hold on. When the reinforcements arrived three months later, Monte Castro still had not fallen. There were only 25 spearmen left in the city. The greenskin corpses had filled the moat, allowing the siege tower to move on it.

Mona Lisa herself was shot by a stray arrow and died.

Since this legendary battle, Mona Lisa's name has become a symbol of good luck and victory throughout the southern kingdom, so much so that in many places, many features of the war goddess Myrmidia are combined with the image of Mona Lisa.

The two twin kingdoms on the left and right in the south, the Lotus Kingdom, have similar traditional cultures and common beliefs. Naturally, the Estalia people will not have any objection to honoring such a saint from a neighboring country who is now divine.

If the saint who disguised himself as his father and led hundreds of people through a year-long siege and was able to hold out against the attacks of the greenskins could bless this city, the Estalia people would not hesitate to build ten temples for it in the country.

This name was chosen because it also contains sacred meanings for the fight against the greenskins.

Five hundred people held out for a year and several months under the siege of one hundred thousand greenskins (this number should be greatly exaggerated, but the disparity in numbers should be certain) until reinforcements arrived.

Even if Santa Mona can only hold on and buy Bill Barry half a year, the situation should have changed dramatically, for example...

The citizens' assembly of the Phoenix Court of the High Elfs finally brought to the attention of the fact that a human peninsula country in the east was under attack by greenskins and was in imminent danger. After a series of complicated disputes, debates, power deals and intrigues, they were able to move on to the agenda of "Should we send a fleet to rescue these monkey (crossed out) humans who fell into the water?"

Of course, the main direction of the Estalia people's efforts is to hope that the former Kingdom of Knights, now the United States of Bretonnia, can, as in the past, form a large, pious, and powerful chivalrous army, carry the banner of justice and go south to rescue the imperiled neighboring countries.

During the nearly one year of preparation, they sent one or several grand delegations almost every month. When the sea route was no longer safe, they traveled by land and even risked taking civilian ships to various parts of Batto to lobby the various states in Batto, whether they were aristocratic parliaments or commercial city-states, tyrannical dictatorships or peasant republics.

The Carcassonne Round Table Council is of particular importance.

Chapter 8: The outline and name of entering the Pass

If the envoys of the Bilbari people were only sincere in their words and attitude when the tribe asked for help from Ai'er, but the bottom line was that the civilized and great country would not lose face for the small tribal barbarians, then after the fall of Monterey and the outbreak of the siege of the Wall of Santa Mona, the envoys of the Estalia people would have staged several "crying in the Qin court" in the Round Table Council.

However, the knights' attitude was very cold, cold, and resolute:

Our attitude of not sending troops is very firm. We are determined not to send troops.

The specific reasons cannot be revealed as they involve the secrets of the Hermit Kingdom, but out of good intentions, they are willing to try to recruit some volunteers and chivalrous knights for the Estalia people from all over the place. They are also willing to send the descendants of the former rulers of the Principality of Bordreau, the heroes of the Great War, the Tidecaller Knight Arthur de Bordreau who holds the legendary trident used by "Alberic de Bordreau", and his small but very elite fleet of knights with unclear connections to the sea god Mannann, to help guard the route, at least to slightly suppress the attacks of pirates so that they would not be so unscrupulous, and to keep the sea route from Bilbarri to Mannannia for the Estalia people.

As for sending troops directly, I can only apologize...

The greenskin offensive was beyond the expectations of the Estalia people. Even the general who was most prepared for the worst could not have imagined that when an army of 200,000 men came over with overwhelming force, not to mention that Demontre would be crushed like a giant ship hitting a small dinghy. Even with high hopes, more than 50,000 garrisons were stationed there just for normal purposes, which was more than one-third of the troops that the Northern Parliament could mobilize now.

The original plan was to hold out for the fortress for six months to a year, or at least four months. However, it nearly fell a month and a half after the siege began. It was two archmages who had practiced in the High Elves and then returned to Estalia who sacrificed themselves, driving the power of the eight winds beyond their ability to bear, and pulling themselves and the enemies on the city wall into the range of influence of the violent heaven and metal wind, clearing out a large number of enemies gathered on the city wall, allowing the defenders to reorganize their forces to launch a counterattack and recapture the city wall.

The two wizards and the apprentices who assisted them in casting spells were engulfed by the violent and uncontrolled magical wind. Their bodies were either annihilated or turned into a pool of golden mud.

Finally, as a last resort, the Estalia people, still uneasy after being rejected by El three times, and urged by the unfavorable battle situation like the death god's death, sent a fourth delegation to the Pina Forest with the mentality of giving it one more try with a thick face.

Still rejected by Al.

This time, the envoy cried in front of the boy, pleading for the friendship of all the southern tribes. Although he felt a little sympathetic, as he said when he met with the warlord for peace talks:

When the orcs reach the city of Bilbarri, Ai'er will not send a beastman to the north.

He really meant it.

He will only send troops when the greenskins are about to attack the city of Bilbarri to steal from the greenskins' rear.

Under the banner of allies, saviors, and a united front against greenskins, they quickly swept across the south, expanding like a snowball, captured Margarita, and followed the greenskin story to issue orders to various places. Under the banner of absolute justice, they formed a large army and marched north, blocking the greenskins in the north for a decisive battle.

At the same time, relying on human believers who converted to the Four Mothers, they established preliminary rule over the southern lands occupied by Aiur, and finally won the decisive battle against the greenskins, turning the tide and supporting the collapsing building. They saved the country and the people and preserved the country for the Estalia people.

Based on this achievement, all the ministers advised him to ascend the throne, and tens of thousands of people wrote to the emperor, saying that they could not repay the tribe's great kindness, and besides, we are all in each other, so why not become one family and reward Ai'er with the title of prince.

In this way, it is natural and in harmony with nature and man, and Faenario Zen Sigma is the destiny of heaven...

Of course, it is not ruled out that the Estalia people might have a little bit of resentment and resistance to accepting a "beast man" as their ruler, especially when this "beast man" is a group of aggressive and very good fighters who are not easy to get along with.

But it doesn’t matter. In this regard, Al is still very open-minded.

If you don't persuade him to join by then, there will be plenty of people who will. After you take over Margarita, the patriarch and priest will debate for the tribe.

Anyway, the teacher has a legitimate reason, and as long as most of the people are capable, it's fine.

Al has already thought about it. If Santa Mona falls, Sahagun will probably not be able to hold on for long. By then, the Estalia people will surely send envoys to beg for mercy, and he will then be able to give in.

However, I have to get the most important thing...

"Status!"

He had discussed this issue with Misha, Kael'thas, and even Claudia, the former paladin who was currently behaving dissolutely and looked unreliable (completely ignoring the fact that he was the one who caused the other person to become like this).

How can I rule the Estalia cities that I have recaptured in the future with a reputation that is not too controversial, while trying my best not to provoke the Estalia people and not to make them feel betrayed, used, or enslaved again by foreigners?

Misha and Kael'thas made many suggestions, but in the end it was Claudia's words that enlightened El.

"In order to prevent themselves from having a ruler, even a nominal ruler, there was even a farce in the past where a pig was elected as the prince of the city. The citizens and most of the parliament even agreed to this, but it was only because of the strong opposition of the church that the decision was dropped."

"So no matter what the name is, even if Bilbarry and Margarita jointly nominate you as the prince of the city, in the end, the people of Estalia will not like the system and king who want to control every aspect of their lives. Many city-states envy the neighboring country of Tyrell, where each city has a high degree of autonomy, but the system is unified in name only."

"Your best method is to do the same as you did to the nobles before. Let the Estalia people eat a mouthful of poisonous shit, make them sick and hurt, and then serve them what you want to make, and quickly establish a new system that people can accept and tolerate in the short term."

"Complete it as soon as possible, even if you have to force them with knives, destroy the cities that oppose it like you did with Cheborio, or even use your 'silencer' to make the big city-states headed by Margarita and Bilbarri obey your authority."

"Then, with the ever-growing number of the Four Mothers' followers, we can gradually gather them together, seize the power of the city-states and kingdoms, and achieve the great unification you want. We can restore trade, colonization, and development, and let the Estalia people feel that everything is getting better and recovering. Even if it is no longer as glorious and loose as it was before the war, it will be enough to achieve your desired goal."

After hearing this, Al patted Misha's thigh excitedly, quickly stood up and walked to Claudia, holding her hands, and said with sincere eyes and affectionate words:

"My Lady Claudia is like a fish in water, like a tiger with wings!"

After the paladin gave the boy a sarcastic look, he looked up and down with sexual interest, mainly at the boy's body, almost blatantly asking for it.

With his offspring still around, Al naturally wouldn't be so crazy. If he chased them away now, it would be too obvious to say, "Dad and Claudia are learning how to govern a country, you guys go out first." So Al had to turn around and go back to his seat to communicate in detail with his two offspring about the idea proposed by Claudia, supplementing and presetting various aspects.

The paladin pouted in boredom and sat on Al's desk, pressing her plump buttocks unceremoniously on Al's manuscripts and documents, and picked up a book to read.

It happened to be a book called "History of the Southern Kingdoms since the Great War" written by an imperial scholar. The page I opened happened to have an illustration of the northern "Eagle's Nest" in Bilbarri, which was also an illustration of the largest temple of the goddess Myrmidia in Bilbarri.

The sacred and majestic statue of the goddess holding a sword and with wings on her back stands at the top of the temple, overlooking the entire city.

A hint of complexity appeared in the beautiful eyes of the Holy Knight, and her fingertips couldn't help but gently stroke the illustration.

After a while, she suddenly closed the book with a bang, attracting Al's attention, then jumped off the desk, walked to the back of the hall without looking back, and left after saying, "Remember to come find me later."

Al withdrew his gaze, pretending nothing had happened, and continued to discuss the topic with Kael'thas. Misha looked at the desk and noticed the closed book.

"History of the Southern Kingdom since the Great War"

Chapter 9: The Slutty Samurai and the Perfect Use of Gold and Silver

In the end, Al spent a lot of effort and rewarded the fallen paladin who helped the boy clear the fog and pointed out the direction.

The chain that locked the female swordsman Ann was used to shackle her neck. The chain was in Al's hand. The face and breasts of the holy warrior were pressed to the ground, and her round and sexy buttocks were raised high. The boy pressed her to the ground, strangled her neck and pounded her roughly.

The beautiful and mature female paladin was fucked by a boy who was much younger than her in age, appearance, and body shape, and even by El, who was countless times weaker than her without the power of God's Chosen. She lost consciousness after her eyes rolled back and she was no longer able to provoke El for sex. Only then did the "reward" end.

And Al, just like he had done many times with Claudia, released the dark desires in his heart and satisfied the needs of his body, but psychologically he always had a vague feeling of being "prostituted".

His fighting ability is no longer the same as the little boy who was forced to stay by the horse girl all day long to avoid the evil and sexually aroused holy warrior.

However, his mentality is still "putting myself first, while taking others into consideration". The purpose is for you, me and everyone to be happy. To use traditional words, "both parties have achieved great harmony in life." Facing a character like Claudia who tends to be a juice-sucking nympho, it is still a little difficult to deal with.

Every time the fight can only be ended in a rough way, otherwise as long as she has the strength left, Claudia will continue to demand from El, resulting in the bed fight not stopping until one side falls down and gives up.

After this conversation, El had a new idea about how to make the Estalia people accept his rule:

After experiencing the worst and most desperate situation, they will undoubtedly yearn for anything that can save the Estalia people from this situation, and are willing to pay something for it, such as being ruled by a "foreign" king, being unified by force, changing the Myrmidian faith that can no longer protect the people of the south, and joining the Four Mothers...

And the worst rule, what can compare to:

The brutal and brutal invaders, the servile and submissive regime, the tyrannical extortion, the death of rebels and the death of compliants, the hungry refugees were forced to leave their families and go out of the shelter, and the kingdom's orthodox resistance forces launched a suicide attack that could not succeed...

Such a picture of hell?

Al couldn't help but grin and chuckle, thinking that it was such a good place with the right time, right place and right people. Looking around the universe, he simply couldn't find a better opportunity and place to start a business.

If it were in the Empire, with Sigma's Empire still stagnant and the Church's influence huge, reaching every corner of society, even internal usurpation and explosion would be difficult. Ai'er's path of developing faith for the Four Mothers would naturally make him a mortal enemy of the Sigma Church.

In the loose United States of Bretonnia, it is easy to get started. It is not a big problem to find ways to seize the supreme power of a city, a state, or a country. However, if Aiel wants to unify the region and expand its power, holding a sword in one hand and a scripture in the other, it will inevitably be surrounded and attacked by many Breton states, and even directly ask the imperial army to intervene militarily.

Other places such as High Elves, Kislev, Border, Cathay, etc. are either too difficult or too culty---right? The White Tower Spell Swordsman or the Moon Queen Raven Guard will soon be at your doorstep!

Or the development potential is too small and the time invested is too great, and what Al lacks most is time. Lilith predicted to him that "such a task can be accomplished in a hundred years", but at the same time, it also revealed that there is less than a hundred years left for the mortal world before the next, which is the real "moment of the end".

Only the southern world, which is relatively isolated from the center of the Old World, if the sea route is cut off, the connection between the Southern Kingdom and Bretonnia and the Empire is that the former has only a narrow land passage with the Council of the Knights of the Round Table in Carcassonne, and the latter needs to go through a long mountain pass full of dark forests, caves in the mountains, with few smooth roads, and always rampant greenskin war gangs and various bandits, or go through the border princes' territory, go north through the Blackfire Pass and enter the territory of Ivy.

The relatively ineffective governance system gives Aiur room to grow and develop, but now this already loose federal kingdom is even more shaky due to the impact of the greenskins.

In a relatively isolated form, Aiur can usurp the country, annex other countries and change dynasties without being interfered with by the iron fist of the Empire. Its main focus is still on the elves and the neighboring country of Tyrell.

It has a geographical location suitable for expansion and is surrounded by the sea on three sides. The developed trade can bring a lot of wealth to the tribe as funds for expanding and strengthening the army.

More importantly: the two southern kingdoms, Estalia and Tyrell, the twin kingdoms together, taking into account the huge number of travelers, caravans, immigrants, stowaways, exiles, mercenaries, adventure groups, etc., as well as the population that cannot be effectively counted, all civilized intelligent life with two legs and four legs and brains, as well as the numerous colonies in the ocean and the New World, have a population of seven or eight million, nearly ten million.

It's real, not something that a company's editor can just write down and then ignore.

Before the Great War, just looking at the population and size, the two countries could easily withstand the huge wave of the Eternal Chosen moving south.

If Ai'er could annex them all, bring them under his control, and effectively rule them, Ai'er felt that he would be able to fight for the End of Time. He would squeeze the beastmen and humans to death for a hundred years, and then there would be another two generations. By then, he would be able to gather a million troops and challenge Acha.

"Now my tribe has a million soldiers and thousands of good generals. How can the glow of your false god's rotten grass compare to the bright moon of the Four Mothers?" Like this.

The top laner is the super pressure-resistant Zhendan Dynasty, the mid laner is the Elf Federation with three spirits combined into one, the AD is the Millennium Light of Order, the Empire of Sigmar's Heir, who are often beaten but always stand up at the critical moment, and the Horde can completely be the jungler. After all, the Beastmen's signature skills and racial talents are to put out the fire wherever it happens and focus on assists.

After all, the human empire has begun to develop industrialization and is steadily moving towards the Victorian era. How can they fight against the void army brought by Acha from the warp if they distribute 10 million bayonets and muskets? With such a big brother of this magnitude on the side of order, how can they lose?

.......

Al felt full of confidence and energy at the moment. He wished he could send troops tomorrow, take control of Margarita the day after tomorrow, go north the day after tomorrow to knock on Bilbarry's barrier, and unify the southern country the day after tomorrow. Then, he would submit a report to the empire to claim the two countries as brothers and form an eternal alliance. Finally, he would play farming and life simulation all the way until the end to achieve victory.

Thinking that if he wanted to enter the pass, he had to make more arrangements in advance, so he quickly called Kael'thas and the members of the Blood Oath Brotherhood, and sent a magic message to the three-robed wizard of the Council of Scholars to express his concern.

When it comes to entering the customs, it is not just a matter of who has the sharper knife.

Guides, people's sentiments, where are the towns and villages with concentrated populations, where are the militia organizations, which forces have bad attitudes, which dignitaries are willing to join...

These all need to be prepared in advance.

El hopes that wherever his army goes, not only will the people of Estalia be provided with food and drink, but there will also be loyal men to resist and followers to gather.

First lay a good foundation.

Abbreviation:

Find a guide for the tribe.

It just so happened that Al had a large sum of aid from the Northern Parliament, and he had all the gold, silver and treasures but nowhere to spend them, so they could be used as funds for this purpose.

There is righteousness, the endorsement of the kingdom, and gold and silver dates.

As long as military victory can be guaranteed.

Al felt that there wouldn't be many people who could withstand these three recruitments.

Chapter 10: Sigma has a new family

Kael'thas took the members of the Brotherhood and left, and Al gave them a task.

Select a group of efficient, smart and reliable characters, train them and use various methods to send them into various areas controlled by the greenskins and lie in wait.

At the same time, they can secretly gather intelligence from all sides, and also try to contact some powerful and popular local forces or individuals to prepare for Ai'er's subsequent dispatch of troops to sweep the south.

There is also an additional, or main, task:

Train a group of loyal, capable and reliable personnel among the Estalia people for the tribe.

At least sir, you must have the ability to do this, and the ability to spread rumors that are beneficial to Ai'er and the tribe, or to throw dirty water on the enemy, and the ability to persuade him to take over at the critical moment. The country cannot be without a leader for a day. Ai'er, the hero of the world, has been given a new life and should be the master of the country, blah blah.

All the members of the Blood Oath Brotherhood are now fanatical followers of the Blood Mother. Those who were corrupted by El using the Wind of Chaos have half changed their form and are no longer pure humans. El does not intend to reuse these people whose IQs have been severely debuffed. Instead, he has been looking for and selecting those more outstanding sergeants who meet his expectations during this period, and continuously transferring and delegating the command power by controlling those puppets behind the scenes.

All of the "loyal members" who were promoted thanks to Al joined the Blood Oath Brotherhood. In the end, Al replaced the old Brotherhood with the new one in this way.

These old Brotherhood members who generally had major flaws in their IQ, emotions and outlook were tied into the army by Al. They later led the charge and fought bravely against the enemy. After their deaths in battle, their souls returned to the Brass Throne to praise the name of the Blood Mother.

Or maybe you have both good luck and strength, and you can chop and chop your way through to become a blessed veteran God-chosen champion.

The members of the new Brotherhood are generally young and strong people with enthusiasm, faith and certain abilities. Before they converted to the Blood Mother, they had a strong tendency to admire the strong and pursue glory. They were eager to wash away the shame of being invaded and beaten by greenskins through bloody battles. At the same time, they were disappointed with the reality and believed that the Kingdom Parliament was in disarray and would only fight among themselves; the church was incompetent, the goddess was hypocritical and turned a deaf-mute, and the goddess of the south, whose churches were blown up and whose holy lands were occupied by the barbaric greenskins, did not even issue an oracle.

Only if the four mothers believe in it seriously will they be blessed. The tribe’s beastmen are heavenly soldiers and generals, and their leader is the son of god. He looks no different from humans and is really good-looking (cross this out). "Only the four mothers and the tribe are the hope of salvation!"

This is roughly the idea. The Blood Oath Brotherhood is the key for Aiur to control the mortal auxiliary army and strengthen their combat effectiveness.

The main reason for letting Kael'thas be the leader is that he is worried that this group of Brotherhood officers, who are too fanatical compared to the average level of human believers, will mess up the matter. Letting the second in command to supervise and take charge, using gentleness with firmness, makes Al feel at ease.

As for why it wasn't handed over to Misha... Niu Niu has already had enough problems.

Al himself didn't like this job very much and didn't understand it, so he had to let Kael'thas grow up in his work out of his love for nurturing his offspring. After the young father finished dealing with a bunch of things at hand, he would take the third and fourth children out for a round of golf to give them some family warmth.
