Chapter 17 Deterrence

When the heroes led by the Prince of the Border made their own decisions, Valed finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, he was still a hundred people worried about these bastards. Everyone knew that these people had no word "credit" at all. Maybe they signed a peace agreement with you today and will launch an attack tomorrow while you relax your vigilance.

So after several letter exchanges, the names of both sides became closer and closer, and even began to call brothers, Valed did not relax his defense against southern Wells at all.

Despite the busy farming period in October, there was no way to draw too many civilians to consolidate the city defense - in fact, civilians who were not willing to accept vampires in their hearts would not do their best to help the vampires repair the city. However, the members of the Brotherhood stationed in Wells still raised some manpower - the captured defenders and refugees recruited with money and grain. Although the number was not large, it was better than nothing.

In addition, vampire officers also sent a large number of skeleton cavalry to patrol the territory. Vultures were released every day to inquire about the news.

It was at this time that the two border princes who broke with Ak and others, tens of thousands of troops were about to arrive soon. This group of troops were either eager to revenge or lawless "free soldiers" who passed by ** plundered all kinds of evil. Many villages turned into ashes. However, because of this, their military rations were not too short. Some bandits who were used to killing even yelled that they would eat human flesh if they didn't have enough military rations, and it was no big deal...

It was such an army that arrived at the border of Wells on October 5. In the battle, the border post built by several vampire officers was demolished into flat ground. The two hundred skeleton soldiers in the post were burned into ashes. Then they headed straight to the city of Wells.

When the news reached Vared, Vared immediately made a decision and went south to kill the 10,000 enemy troops. At that time, a member of the Brotherhood said: There were only more than 10,000 soldiers on the opposite side, and the Welsh defenders had 30,000. How could it be impossible to defeat? You just need to stay in the rear.

Vared said to the adviser members of the Brotherhood: "Although it seems that we have reached peace with the prince of the border, the hatred between them and us is too deep and cannot be resolved at all. Now we are just trying to delay time and stabilize the rear. As long as they defeat the green skin, then we and them will inevitably have a war."

"So what does this have to do with your personal journey south and fighting with the army that was split from the other side?" the members of the Brotherhood continued.

"Of course it's relevant." Vared then explained: "They accepted our conditions because they were forced to helplessly. But if the strength we showed was not as strong as they expected, they made them feel that we were weak. It would be difficult to guarantee that they would have some other thoughts and even change their minds. Only by annihilation of the ten thousand alone with an overwhelming victory can they understand our strength. Only by being at ease, fighting against Greenskin, and not having our ideas for the time being."

After hearing what Valed said, his subordinates were amazed. Valed was not in such a good mood. He shook his head and continued, "It's just to show his own strength and intimidate potential opponents. It's nothing to be surprised if you put it bluntly... And in addition, I'm also afraid that the ten thousand remaining soldiers will not die and will rush to our territory to become bandits. We have no foundation in the border princes. They are all locals. If we can't wipe out the entire battle, it will be difficult."

Speaking of this, Valed then sighed: "Now it depends on who is faster. If we are fast and can rectify the border prince before the other party - no one needs to believe it. As long as they don't make too much trouble for me, then we can take the initiative.

On the other hand, if the Prince of the Borders wins before us, then they can take the initiative. The Green Skin Tribe is similar to the Prince of the Borders. In addition, there is the Principality of Ive... After defeating these 10,000 troops, I have to go to Akendorf and break up with the army of the Principality of Ive!"

At the end of the day, the hero of troubled times suddenly appeared in his eyes. He slapped the desk in front of him and slapped the two-inch thick hardwood into two pieces. Then he jumped up and ordered his subordinates: "You are all ready! Leave two guards to Polwinster. The other four went south with me to Wells. Comparison of three to one force. If I can't wipe out the other side, I don't have to mess around anymore!"

In the blink of an eye, the next day, the citizens of Polwinster had adapted to the rule of vampires, and were not as scared as before about the skeleton soldiers patrolling the streets. So those who should go out to do business would go out to do business and those who should work would go to do work. There was no abnormal movement in the villages and towns outside the city. Now October is the busy season, and if the harvest is delayed, it would be amazing.

Compared to their own belly, creatures and undeads, justice and evil, etc. seem to be less important. Although some people incite to say that those vampires will take away the corpses after they die and become undead soldiers. But compared to those inaccurate things, the crops in front of them are more important.

No matter what happens after death, if the crops are in trouble, hunger is something that is close to you... Besides, the border princes lead frequent wars, and people may encounter military disasters at any time, so they are more open to life and death.

These citizens and farmers all got up to do it, but in this activity, they found something wrong. The skeleton troops that were originally patrolling the streets seemed to be much less. The civilians who were preparing to enter and exit the city gate were even more shocked-

They saw endless, pale skeleton soldiers, as well as black knights and tomb guards dotted with black iron armor. All of these large numbers of soldiers and horses were motionless, as if they were sculptures, and more undead were constantly joining in the city inside and outside the city.

The entire array of the undead army is like a terrifying monster with an increasing volume. Although it is still dormant, no one can deny their power and destructiveness.

In particular, the array of knife-cut and chisels they arranged was made of skeletons wearing steel armor as points to form lines and surfaces. The meticulous, straight and straight geometric patterns were even more shocking.

At this moment, Vared stood on the city tower, looking at the faces of the civilians passing by under the city with surprise and fear. He nodded in satisfaction. He boasted about his military power in the daytime in order to show his force in case someone stirred up after he left Polwinster. Now it seems that the effect is pretty good.

After a moment, a member of the fraternity ran over quickly and said to Valed, "Leader, the army of 20,000 undead has been prepared. Some of the spare weapons, armor and bows, crossbows and arrows have been collected. It is just not as good as you expect."

"Forget it, the Prince of the Border is not a wealthy place. We are all so embarrassed. I guess the other party's condition is worse than that of us. There is nothing to worry about."

After Vared finished speaking, he jumped down from the city tower and landed steadily on the ground, then turned over and stepped onto the mount nightmare. He manipulated the undead troops to issue a marching order. Suddenly, 20,000 undead troops began to advance in one step. The civilians watching around were shocked.

Vared urged the army to go south. The undead army was advancing day and night, and was walking the right path again. The speed was naturally fast. The road from Polwinster to Wells was completed in less than a day.

Vared sent vultures to pass on the news to the brothers guarding the city. At the same time, he investigated the other party's situation and found that the other party had not yet discovered that his army had arrived. It seemed that the border prince and Sylvania had been in quarantine for nearly a hundred years, and the other party had no idea how fast the undead army marched, and he actually made such a low-level mistake.

"Since it's a mistake, there will be some punishment." After Valed received the news, he felt as if his body was wiped out. He muttered to himself, and at the same time showed a hideous smile. The undead naturally did not hesitate to be physically strong and maintained the most vigorous combat power at any time - even after marching for nearly a day.

So...
Chapter completed!
