Chapter 882

The nobles looked at each other, and no one answered Joseph's question.

Joseph's face was a little ugly.

"Roland, didn't you say Wagner would be there in three days at the most? Now the third day is over. "

He looked at the middle-aged nobles, with a little dissatisfaction.

The middle-aged nobleman's face was not very good either. He frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Your Highness, maybe they are in trouble on the way. You know, they are carrying a lot of things, and the weather in the West seems not very good these two days. We can wait a little longer..."

"Wait? Still waiting? The most precious thing we have now is time. The cost of maintaining such a huge army is astronomical

Joseph snorted, discontented.

War costs money.

Although many nobles provided their own logistics in this holy war, as the leader of the whole legion, the pressure of the Rosen family was absolutely the biggest.

Every day, it's a huge expense.

At this time, a knight on a fast horse came from the rear of the team, shouting as he was on his way

"Your Highness! Your highness

Hearing the call, Joseph looked up and quickly recognized that it was the knight he had sent to meet the Wagner family the day before yesterday.

Recognizing that he was the returning receptionist, Joseph looked happy.

However, when he noticed the knight's stern look, he could not help but clatter in his heart and had some bad premonition.

The knight galloped off his horse and came panting to Joseph. He said with a pale face

"Duke... Duke... No! Viscount Wagner's army has been attacked. It has been... Completely destroyed! "

"What are you talking about?"

Joseph couldn't help turning pale.

And the nobles around them also widened their eyes and showed a look of astonishment.

They can't help but be surprised.

The Wagner family is not a small family in the northern part of the Empire. It is said that more than 5000 people took part in the war this time. However, there are many golden rank professionals in their family.

This kind of power can walk across the mainland in peacetime. Even if the magic of the whole world recovers now, it is definitely a vassal.

But it's such a force that it will be attacked in silence, or even annihilated?!

No

Even if the whole army is annihilated, it's been two days. Even if there is no one who escapes to report?

Wait until the scouts sent here to find out?

The more aristocrats think about it, the more absurd they feel, and the more terrifying they feel at the same time

"It's true... It's true... I saw in the hills and forests... I saw the remains of the baggage, the whole road was dyed black with blood, and I saw the broken flag of the Wagner family..."

"The battlefield is very chaotic. It stretches for several kilometers. I'm afraid it's ambush..."

"No survivors were found, no signs of the defeated army leaving. Only some elf footprints were found in the forest..." "I'm afraid... I'm afraid Viscount Wagner has been completely destroyed."

The knight gasped.

This words, Joseph's expression is more ugly, and the aristocracy around, stunned quickly into a shock.

"Spirit? No... how could the elves be behind us? Can they swallow 5000 troops? Are you sure? "

Asked Joseph, looking back in disbelief.

The knight nodded and said dryly:

"Your Highness is an elf. There are almost no corpses on the battlefield. This situation can only be achieved by the ferocious and ferocious elves in the legend who like to" destroy the corpses. "

"Your Highness, the elves must have sent troops around behind us and attacked them!"

Joseph was silent.

His expression changed several times. Finally, he stamped a big stone under his body and swore

"Damn, sly elves

"But... How do the elves know where Wagner is going?"

Asked the middle-aged nobleman.

The knights were silent, and the nobles looked at each other.

No one can answer his question.

"What else? There must be some Untouchables

Joseph sneered.

His eyes were gloomy, and he said, biting his teeth

"The nails of the life church have not been pulled out completely. Those crafty guys are still haunted. They can't tell when to send the news. And from the results, I'm afraid they already know when Wagner first started from the territory!"

Is it that early?

After listening to this, the nobles expressed their horror.

You know, Wagner's territory is at least 15 days away from here, and if the elves knew the news 15 days ago

Hiss

The nobles were moved.

At this moment, they suddenly felt that the Empire seemed to be full of the eyes of the life church.

But at the same time, they were lucky that they set out early and caught up with the big army, otherwise... Maybe Wagner's fate would be theirs.

"Your Highness, it can't be done like this. If there is a spirit Legion in our rear that can destroy an army of 5000 people, it will be very unfavorable for our next war. Our reinforcements and our logistics will be under great pressure..."

The middle-aged nobleman said in a deep voice.

"I know."

Said Joseph, grimly.

Taking a deep breath, he said in a deep voice:

"The number of elves should not be too much, otherwise, they would not choose to attack Wagner in the form of ambush."

Then he told the nobles:

"Let's go ahead and build sentries and fortifications along the way in the west, and send more people to protect our logistics line. In addition, let's inform the people behind not to take the road in the west, but to go from the East as far as possible."

"Your Highness, shall we still attack Argus?"

A nobleman asked.

"Fight! Of course! Argus city is the gateway of Fengyue free collar and an important node connecting the Empire. If we capture here, we can radiate this area. Even if the elves want to do something, they will be constrained by us! "

"At the same time, the city of Argus has a commercial road connecting the central part of the Empire, and our logistic pressure will be greatly relieved."

Said Joseph.

"But... We don't have any magic crystal guns now."

The noble who spoke was worried.

Joseph's face was more gloomy.

Argus city is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It also lights up the magic defense barrier. If there is no magic crystal gun, there will be many casualties if it is attacked by force.

However, if we don't fight, the army can't continue to go south, because the Church of life can take Argus city as its stronghold and harass them constantly.

In a word, this city must be captured!

Joseph took a look at the walls of Argus and gritted his teeth

"If not, fight! storm! The strong attack must be fought down! I don't believe that a city with more than 30000 garrisons at most can't be captured by our hundreds of thousands of troops! I don't believe that without heavy siege tools, we can't break the city! "

"Let's go ahead. The whole army will cut down trees in situ and assemble simple siege vehicles, siege towers and light catapults!"

With Joseph's command, the army surrounding the city of Argus immediately took action.

The soldiers cut down the trees outside the city and began to build simple siege equipment.

Building siege props on the spot is a traditional skill of the noble army, but most noble families can only make some simple ones, and if they want more complicated heavy equipment, they must prepare materials in advance.

Light siege equipment can't match heavy, but it's time to meet it.

Fortunately, nearly 700000 troops gave Joseph the strength to attack. Although light siege equipment will definitely lead to heavy casualties, this time they are most needed in strength.

That's right. Joseph is going to take the head.

……

The actions of hundreds of thousands of troops, located in the city of Argus, naturally also see in the eye.

Fort fozer in Argus.

Feng Yue's Guard commander Arthur looks at the enemy outside the city and frowns.

"They started to build siege equipment. I'm afraid it won't be long before they start siege."

He said in a deep voice.

After that, he looked at a shining elf soldier standing beside him and asked respectfully:

"All Star Mr. a Dai, are you sure that the siege troops of the Rosen family have no way to participate in the war?"

The player named all star a Dai is the player conductor arranged by the all star guild in Argus city. This time, he led 10000 players to participate in the defense work of the whole city.

However, there is no teleportation array to the Elven forest in Argus City, so once they die, the players can't supplement their combat power.

In addition to the players, there are also human garrison troops led by Fengyue in Argus City, about 20000 people.

All in all, it's a garrison of 30000.

Arthur, the commander of the garrison, was worried.

However, all star a Dai just smiles:

"Don't worry, Mr. Arthur. They'll never be on the battlefield."

At his words, Arthur's heart moved, while the other defenders around him cast curious eyes.

In front of the NPC's eyes, all star ah Dai gave a hi and continued to explain:

"The guerrilla troops separated from the Elven forest have ambushed them on the way and completely annihilated all the siege troops. I think... After so many days, the army outside the city suddenly took action to prepare for the siege. They should also know the news and plan to attack."

With these words, including Arthur, the human garrison of Argus city showed a surprise expression one after another.

But soon, their expression was dignified again.

"Attack..."

Arthur frowned and said:

"All star, Mr. a Dai, there are too many troops in the Empire, the city of Argus doesn't transmit the magic array, and the energy of the magic defense barrier is not enough. If they attack hard, with less than 30000 defenders, it's hard for them to hold on to the reinforcements..."

"We are not afraid to die in battle, but if we lose Argus city and fortress falzer, then we will be the free leader of Fengyue and the sinners of the Church of life..."

Commander Arthur's face was full of worry.

Just, all star a Dai but smile.

He took a look at the enemy troops outside the city and said, hey

"Don't worry, Mr. Arthur... Before long, they will be in chaos."

"Well?"

Arthur was stunned.

He couldn't help looking at each other, but found that the other side was smiling, very mysterious.

……

West lead, Morningstar city.

This is the capital of the whole western collar, and it is also the residence of the MIS family, which controls the Western collar.

After the great jihad against the Church of life started, the current head of the Mies family, count Mies, also chose to join the northern army and became a member of Joseph's army, Duke of Rosen.

As the master of the Western leaders, the Mies family was rich and powerful, and they also fought for their old capital in the holy war, recruiting nearly 70000 soldiers.

Count Mies personally led the army to the battle, and vowed that it was necessary to recover the territory that once belonged to the western territory, such as Argus City, and at the same time, he was free to open up territory in Fengyue.

Of course, the price of mobilizing all the family members is that the left behind troops in Morningstar city are not so abundant.

The whole Morningstar city is the most empty time in history.

Outside Morningstar, on the guard tower.

The old soldier yawned lazily and played cards with his companions.

This is the hinterland of the western region. Even after the outbreak of war, there is no military threat at all.

Although it is required by the Lord to stand guard, as we all know, it is only a routine requirement.

It's a nice day today.

Two days ago, there was a rain, and the temperature of the whole western area rose a little bit. The sun was hanging high in the sky, and there was a kind of summer atmosphere.

The afternoon sun always makes people lazy. The guards are sleepy while playing cards.

However, just at this time, a loud noise suddenly came from the south, mixed with a little rumbling sound, just like a galloping horse, waking them up from their lazy sleep

"What sound?"

"Like a magic crystal cannon?"

"No... there seems to be something else..."

The guards looked at each other.

They quickly stood up and looked out of the post, then their eyes widened.

I don't know when, outside the city of Morningstar, there are a lot of elves. They are all armed, riding all kinds of Warcraft. They are coming out of the forest outside the city and gathering towards the city

The exaggeration of the number of guards have been stunned.

"Spirit? Where do so many elves come from? "

The guards lost their voices.

And the elves get together more and more.

At first, they were loose and seemed to come from all directions, but soon they reorganized outside the city and gradually became neat and solemn.

A dark muzzle magic crystal guns were pushed out by them, the target straight to the morning star city that is not much solid wall.

The guards' expressions changed greatly. They quickly sounded the alarm bell of the post, and their voices cried out bitterly:

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack

……

Outside the city.

Demacia, riding a dragon scale horse, looked at the familiar city in front of him, with a face full of tears.

And the director of the All Star Association beside him, ah can, who is known as general manager of can, is slightly bright and thoughtful.

Demacia giggled

"Hey, Mr. can, see that?"

"This wave, we call it Wei Wei Jiu Zhao!"
