Volume 7 Mortals and Gods Chapter 781 Destruction (5)
While the soldiers were shouting victory, military discipline was broken. Faced with the camps and large amounts of loot left by the orcs, people forgot about victory and began to desperately search around for possible captures and loot.
The entire ruins are littered with scattered Prairie Army soldiers. The 20,000 Prairie Army soldiers are now as disorganized as the fine sand on the coast.
At the same time, just east of Lachhof, in the middle of a small taiga.
More than a thousand wolf cavalry of the Frostwolf clan chief Subotai were hiding here. The chief carefully observed the battle situation and couldn't help but nod:
"The stragglers below Zan Ek are of only this use, so good."
"There are a lot of people on the grassland. If we attack head-on, one of our battle axes will have to deal with ten of the enemy's swords. We will have to fight to the death to win."
Subotai then said to the wolf cavalry nearby: "But now, we only need to focus on attacking the opponent's central army. With one of our battle axes, we only need to deal with the enemy's two weapons!"
Just as the wolf cavalry of the Frostwolf clan were getting ready, seven or eight barges loaded with heavy objects and explosive barrels suddenly appeared on the upper reaches of Ergun. The bows of each of their ships were loaded with iron plates.
Hitting the corner, rushing down the river, rushing towards the pontoon bridge that the prairie people finally built at an extremely fast speed!
General Bagramyan, who was responsible for staying behind, was shocked when he saw this scene, but these barges could no longer stop him!

"boom!"
The barge instantly destroyed three pontoon bridges, and with the sound of explosions, the Prairie Army's retreat was cut off.
The chief of the Frostwolf clan saw this scene and nodded slowly.
"Today, I, Subotai, will either die in this land and let future generations avenge me, or I will slaughter all these grassland people so that the people here will always remember my name!"
Subotai drew out his battle ax: "Let us pierce the heart of the enemy like a battle axe!"
"Frost Wolf! Frost Wolf! Frost Wolf!"
No need to hide anymore, the wolf cavalry of the Kurgan Iron Cavalry Frostwolf Clan filed out of the forest!
"Warriors of the Frostwolf Clan! It's time for you to show your glory!"
The tip of Subotai's sword pointed towards the grassland army position which was like a plate of scattered sand: "Charge!"
"Kill!"
Temporary town in Erengrad Wasteland.
Count Clemens Metternich, the special envoy of Emperor Albrecht, the imperial ambassador to the Shire, and the chief observer of the Northern War temporarily appointed by Emperor Peter I, rode on horseback under the leadership of the Shire cavalry.
Step into the city.
The square of the temporary town of Erengrad was filled with charr troops. The knights formed several phalanxes on both sides. Two battalions of the Silver Hand Knights were located in the center, followed by more than a dozen infantry regiment phalanxes.
Nicolas Davout, Captain of the Knights of the Silver Hand, was shimmering with the aura from the Lake Fairy, and his eyes were as bright as lightning.
"Everyone! Prepare!"
"salute!"
The knights and infantry regiments saluted together, followed by the knights' brigade led by the Knights of the Silver Hand.
Metternich was very well-dressed. Judging from the width of the shoulders and waist of the dress coat, we knew that his silk dress was tailor-made.
His thick and naturally curly short hair was neatly taken care of. Under the leadership of Davout, he quietly observed the Shire army that came to welcome him.
The more he observed, the uglier Metternich's expression became.

All bearded, all veterans!
Well-equipped and full of murderous intent!
And morale is extremely high!
Taking a closer look, the Ambassador of the Albrex Empire found that most of the soldiers were around the age of 25 or 26, which was the golden age for military service!
And these soldiers were only a small part of the new Grand Duke's army. As we all know, the late Grand Duke of Gros recruited an army of only one soldier from fifty households for an expedition, which had almost no feeling for Charles.
Damn the Shire! They will become a huge threat to the Albrex Empire in the future!
Metternich has always been a big imperialist at heart. To put it simply, he wishes that all the countries in the entire continent of Toril except the Albrex Empire would perish.
He now had to admit in his heart that the new Grand Duchess Fiona and her army would become the biggest obstacle to the Albrex Empire becoming the northern hegemon.
At the same time, many herdsmen from Erlengrad came out to watch. This newly built city was in dire need, but people's faces were full of hope.
"It can be said that the herdsmen of Erengrad are becoming more and more fond of their new Duma and the new Grand Duke Vladimir."

Nicolas Davout considered it and smiled at Count Metternich: "This is really a good thing for re-establishing order in the grassland."
"Good thing?"
Metternich said coldly: "Grand Duke? Who gave it to him? Was it him or Grand Duke Fiona? Was it with the permission of Katalin Khan? Can this kind of title be counted?"
"This is the choice of the people of Erlengrad Grassland."
Davout was choked by this sentence and was speechless. He was a soldier after all. After thinking for a while, he could only say this: "We can only respect it."
"Can a referendum represent public opinion?" Metternich sneered a few times: "I am now very doubtful, how much of your so-called chivalry in Britannia is left?"
Davout's face was very ugly. As a captain of the Knights of the Silver Hand, he felt that he had been insulted and questioned, so he did not intend to speak properly:
"Your Excellency Metternich, I think you must not know, right?"
"What do you know?" Metternich had a vague premonition in his heart.
"Katarin Khan was defeated in the upper reaches of the Ergun River, and the 50,000 steppe army suffered more than 33,000 casualties."

Davout also sneered: "Now, we can say that not an inch of the Kansas prairie land is under her actual control. Lord Metternich, the prairie people need heroes, what do you think?"
"I won't tell you, I want to see Grand Duke Fiona!" Sure enough, the expression of the special envoy of the Albrex Empire changed drastically, and he wanted to rush straight into Fiona's tent.
The two old guards standing guard immediately lowered their halberds and crossed their arms: "The Grand Duke and the Dukes are having a meeting!"
"Please wait outside, Your Excellency Metternich." Davout's attitude also became tougher: "Just a moment, I will receive you as soon as possible after His Excellency the Grand Duke has finished the meeting."
"All right..."
The imperial ambassador could only agree. Davout quickly gave the knight at the door a wink, and the guard immediately understood:
"The Grand Duke is in a meeting and you can't go in! Please wait a moment, Your Excellency."
"Who is making so much noise outside?"
A graceful voice full of elegance and a Charles accent came from the side: "Oh, is it Metternich? Peter is actually willing to send you to such a bitter and cold place?"
"Metternich met the respected and beloved Grand Duchess here!"

Metternich dared to put on airs when facing Davout. He dared to say that it was because his status as the imperial ambassador determined that he must not show any weakness or flattery. But when facing Fiona, this guy could only kneel down and salute:
"I have brought the blessings and greetings of Emperor Peter I. Is everything okay with Her Majesty the Grand Duchess?"
"Okay, I feel very good." Speaking of this, Fiona couldn't help but smile: "Come in and talk."
"yes!"
Metternich's arrogant look made Davout couldn't help but laugh. After thinking about it, he decided to go to the tent in person.
In the big tent, Iros, Lake Priestess Louise, Duke Sarkozy, Duke Otus, Holy Empire Commander-in-Chief Berhemond and Bertrand of Charles and others were sitting together for a meeting.
Talleyrand stood behind Iros and listened, while Gerald stood in front of the map and explained everything.
"Just as His Excellency Yiros and Duke Otus expected." Jerrod said with the battle report: "Katarin Khan and his army suffered a devastating defeat in the upper reaches of the Ergun River."
"That night, his army built a pontoon bridge on the upper reaches of the Ergun River, on the other side of Lakhov City, in preparation for crossing the river. It has to be said that it took them a whole night to build the pontoon bridge that we could build in an hour or two.
.
After the repairs were completed, it took the 20,000 grassland army most of the day to cross the river, and the forward troops were already at war with the orc army."

"The war started very smoothly at first. After all, the main force of the orcs had been wiped out in the Erengrad Wasteland and the northern part of the grassland, and the rest were just some miscellaneous soldiers.
Although the grassland army itself collapsed several times, in the end, under the personal command of Katalin Khan, with the help of magic and, um... the attack of the Guards, the enemy army led by Zan Ek was driven out.
The ruins of Lakhov, where victory was once so close to Catalin Khan."
"Guards?"
Duke Sarkozy looked strange and waved his hand: "I remember Archduke Fiona's guards were standing guard outside the door, Gerald?"
Sarkozy didn't say anything, but in his heart he was very envious of Charles for having such a super powerful army that looked down upon the world. His guards were not strong enough yet.
