The appearance of the dark descendant army was blatant. Just when the desert bandits were slaughtered madly, a confidential letter appeared on the table of the trial court.
"Sure enough, it appeared in the western desert." Cassandra looked at the letter and said to the judge raviland, "there are three armies nearby, one of which is led by count Julian. If you respond quickly, you should be able to snipe the dark race at the first time."
"No, the western desert is hot and dry. Going deep into the desert will inevitably lead to the fatigue of the army and the decline of combat effectiveness, and the dark people are not afraid of the hot and dry. It is not good for us to start a war there." Kulun seemed to disapprove of taking the initiative to attack the desert and suggested: "We should build fortifications on the edge of the desert and mobilize reinforcements from other parts of the Empire to expand our troops and attack when the dark people come out of the desert."
"But the western desert is too big for us to surround the whole desert. What if the dark people bypass the line of defense?" raviland asked.
"Although the dark descendants are tough, they also need to eat to supplement. According to the law of the previous dry tides, they must attack the nearby towns and eat people at the first time. Therefore, as long as we divide the army into armies and form a blockade chain at the towns near the desert, no matter which direction they attack, the military forces in other directions can gather defense at the first time," Kulun explained.
As a military commander, he studied five dry tides in history and knew the habit of Dark Descent marching like the back of his hand.
"OK, that's it." although laveland is young, he is now a judge and shows his due decision.
While sharing intelligence with the ole Empire, they took their troops to the West.
On the way, the dwarf novelist varykla saw leiliana's dignified look and comforted: "Aidan is a legendary hero, and from his state that day, he did not become a simple dark descendant. Maybe there is something we don't know."
Leiliana nodded, looked softly at Warrick and said, "it doesn't matter. Aidan in the past is dead. Now he is just a dark descendant with his memory."
She is a master spy. She met Warrick when investigating the defenders of kokwo. She knows his background very well. She knows that he is a good dwarf, smart, righteous, just and generous. She is the closest comrade in arms of the defender hawk.
Now Warrick said this to her just to comfort her and keep her a little hope when she was hostile to Aidan.]
In many cases, hope is the most important thing to support a person.
Seeing that Warrick wanted to say something more, leiliana interrupted him: "I just think again. According to my understanding of Aidan, the current trend of Dark Descent does not conform to his style."
"You mean?" Warrick frowned.
"Yes, I think if the dark descendant is really commanded by Aidan, it may not develop as Coulomb analyzed," leiliana said slowly.
He had fought side by side with Aidan and was well aware of Aidan's style.
The legendary strongman likes the lightning attack that can't hide his ears, but now after the emergence of the dark descendants, they just nibble at the small desert town after the bandits around, which is not Aidan's style at all.
However, leiliana didn't put forward it in the meeting, because she couldn't guess Aidan's next action, and there was no problem with Cullen's tactics, so she'd better collect intelligence first.
Intelligence is the most important thing in a war. Often an important intelligence can determine the direction of the war.
As the court marched, Ole's army had gathered in several big cities around the desert.
Count Julian still decided to use the tactics recommended by the trial court to form a military chain when mobilizing troops and support everywhere at any time.
Soon, when ole's army gathered more than 80000 outside the desert, the dark descendants finally began to March.
But to everyone's surprise, the goal of the dark race's march was the Western fortress.
The Western fortress is adjacent to the desert and close to the lofty plain. It is sparsely populated. There are several military bases that have been abandoned for a long time.
The reason why it is abandoned is that it is occupied by a large number of ghosts, resentful souls and other spiritual creatures that cannot return to the shadow world all year round.
Human beings have become elves, because after death, due to some special circumstances, their spirit bodies will not integrate into the shadow world, but stay in the real world and become ghosts.
The power of ghosts is far from that of demons, but there are no human cities here, so no one has come to make great efforts to solve the problem of complaining about ghosts.
Over the years, there are more and more ghosts here.
The ole Empire did not garrison here this time. One reason was that there were ghosts around here and the commanders didn't want to come. The other was that there were no people here. The dark people couldn't find anyone to eat here. I didn't think the dark people would march here.
Now that he knew the trend of the dark race, Ole commander count Julian panicked.
If you send troops, the military forces near the Western fortress are scattered, and you used to send vegetables, but if you don't send troops, once the dark descendants pass through there, they will immediately drive straight into the hinterland of OLE.
The trial court received the news that although it was shocked by the choice of the dark army, it still advocated sending troops to block it.
The reason is also very simple. The dark descendants rush into the Western fortress through the desert. Whether they will conflict with the entrenched ghosts or not, they will inevitably reduce their combat power due to long-distance travel and hunger.
Even if all the human vanguard troops are lost, as long as we buy time for the rear army, we will have the opportunity to block the dark descendants in the northwest fortress and desert.
But if we don't stop it, once the dark descendants break through the past, kill civilians and eat people, their combat power will recover and the loss will be greater.
At that time, the dark descendants will divide their troops to attack, and the surrounding towns and towns will not be able to defend at all.
The situation was clear, and the two legions closest to the Western fortress passed.
As soon as they arrived at the northwest fortress, the two ole legions were stunned by the terrible array of dark descendants. The dark descendant army chopped up the desert bandits and took them as marching rations, avoiding the observation of distant scouts. At this time, they were not facing hungry dark descendants, but full monsters.
Seeing the ferocious appearance of the dark descendants gnawing at the human stumps one by one, although the two legions have been determined to die, they are still frightened.
Many young soldiers peed and cried on the spot.
The result was obvious. The two legions had less than 10000 people in total, and directly sent their heads to more than 50000 dark army.
The dark descendants did not enter the hinterland of the empire after killing the two ole regiments with few casualties. Instead, they waved their troops to face the army of count Julian who had gathered in the south.
When count Julian saw the dark descendant like the black torrent from a distance, his legs and stomach trembled, and he felt that he could not support his exquisite armor.
In particular, in front of the dark army, some human soldiers who had their arms cut off and barely maintained their mobility were driven away.
