Chapter 948, Erica

The winter of 2515 in the Imperial Calendar was a winter of blood and fire.

"Gaisel can no longer provide us with any military support." Midden leads the southern road, and the 75,000 human coalition forces are advancing, while Ryan and Boris, Morgiana and Great Urik Emil-Wa Geer was discussing the military situation and gathering the latest information on the side of the road. Boris looked sad, and he pointed to the map: "That son of a bitch, Gessel, just a little Chaos army that appeared from the Brass Fortress is enough." Let him panic and declare a full retreat, and we can no longer receive any support from Nord."

"On the other side, the battle situation in Ostland is not very optimistic." Great Ulrich Emile Wager said: "Although Von-Zhukov Castle is still holding on, you see, the chaotic mess has completely bypassed The entire castle has been destroyed, and the connection between the castle and its surrounding areas has almost been cut off. If this continues, it will not make much sense for the defenders to continue to hold on without reinforcements."

Morgiana was holding the Holy Grail of the potion, and the witch of the lake god looked at the map. On the map, the Ostland army was marked with a white mark, while the Chaos army was marked with a black mark.

The situation is very bad. Indeed, whether it is Oleg von Zhukov's bravery and ability to command on the spot, or Oster Marshal Model's strategic defense ability and ability to build defensive positions, they are all outstanding among human beings. , but even so they were unable to defeat Motkin's main army of Chaos, because the will of the Dark Iron Avenger was so terrible that he and his army put revenge on the next one, and the northern wastelands continued to drive out reinforcements. On the front line, even though Oleg and Model had already brought Chaos main force huge troubles and many more casualties than them, they still couldn't stop Chaos from gaining the upper hand.

Now Von-Zhukov Castle has become a salient part, with Chaos troops on both wings and behind. Only a long and narrow corridor about three kilometers wide and about ten kilometers long behind the castle is still under the control of the Empire. This long and narrow corridor transported food, reserves and weapons and ammunition to the castle.

"Actually, at this level, I should give up defending the city and choose to retreat." Ryan looked at the isolated and helpless appearance of Von-Zhukov Castle, and shook his head helplessly: "Unfortunately, we can't."

Everyone was silent.

Why can't the castle be abandoned? Looking at the name of this castle, everything is clear at a glance, there is no way that the army of Osterland will abandon Von Zhukov Castle.

"If the castle falls, Ostland will be the last strong fortress left." Elector Boris pointed his finger on the map: "The provincial capital of Ostland, Wolfenburg."

"We should march directly towards Wolfenburg." Morgiana said directly.

"No, we must first arrive at Herzig, the capital of Hawkland.

Ryan said to Morgiana: "The supply of the army is the first priority. "

"Go ahead, that's all we can do now." Boris nodded.

The army continued to advance, and the army of Midden was dressed in blue and white checkered uniforms. They formed a series of irregular but murderous arrays, and the opposite was the Britannian army. Most of them wore their own uniforms. The costumes of the principality, the queue is more orderly than that of Midden's army, but the murderous spirit is slightly less.

The army's walking was a little boring, and the air was too cold. The white snow fluttered in the cold air of Middenland. The silvery white mist enveloped this quiet valley and covered the endless swamps. Here are the sacrifices The resting place of warriors from ancient times. Here lies their bones, houses their souls, and guards their damp cemeteries.

For three thousand years, the Thuringians have taken root here, in this barren, black forest-covered, and cold land. They have encountered endless wars, and they have been on the verge of extinction several times. Persisted, the people here are the most stubborn and traditional in the empire, and many old people in Middenland still speak the ancient Thuringian language and reject any imported words.

In the bars of Middenling, when outsiders boast about their hometown status and glory or order foreign dishes, they will often be met with fists and kicks by the Middenlings in the bar. This kind of fight usually has two results. The other is that the victim couldn't beat the leader of Midden, and he was beaten for nothing. No one would speak up for him, and he was listed as an unwelcome object since then. It is not surprising that he was unlucky and beaten to death.

The second is that the outsiders show their force and beat up the Midden leader, and the Midden leader not only can’t call people, but the Midden leader who has been beaten bruised and swollen will warmly invite you to eat, Have a beer and declare that we are best friends from now on!

Because of this strange culture, extremely conservative style and bad temper that stinks like a stone, the Middenlanders have always gotten along very well with the dwarves. The dwarves like Middenland, especially the most stubborn and kind The people of Middenheim have the worst temper. There are many dwarves who have settled in Middenheim and regard it as their home rather than a hotel. How to give White Wolf City a name that meets the dwarf standards also depends on these It has been mentioned many times in the year that the white wolf city is the place where the dwarves travel far away from the mountain kingdom.

"Brothers, sons of Urik!" Grand Urik Emil Wager was covered in plate armor bestowed by the God of the Wolf, with a huge cloak of the Wolf God behind him. He let go of his voice so that his voice could be heard. All over the team: "The knights on the other side of the mountain have come from afar, shall we let them see the enthusiasm of our Midden leaders?"

"Oh oh oh!"

"Let them know that Yuri is good at knocking!"

"For Ulric! For Middenheim!"

The imperial army made a noise. The Middenlanders are famous all over the world for their brutality, brutality, and warlikeness. They may not like to obey the rules, but they respect the strong. They are the most loyal guards of the empire. , has guarded this land for three thousand years.

"How about singing a song of our hometown to the Britannia?" Boris laughed, and the elector liked to stay with his soldiers the most.

"Okay!" The White Wolf Knight and the Midden soldiers shouted. The barbaric look made Morgiana, who was riding Sylphine walking beside Ryan, frowned. She moved her position slightly to let Ryan To those Middenlanders.

The Midden leader began to sing, and Ryan couldn't help smiling when he heard the melody. He listened to the singing, closed his eyes and sang along.

This song is the very famous Middenland folk song "Eleika".

"A flower blooms in the heather~"

"Her name is: Erica~"

"Many bees surround the flower"

"Surround her: Erica~"

"Because her stamens are the sweetest~ Her petals are full of fragrance~ There is a flower in the heather~Her name is: Erica~"

"A beautiful girl is at my house~"

"Her name is also: Erica~"

"This girl is my concern~"

"My Love: Erica~"

"When the heather blooms purple~I sing this song to greet her~A flower blooms in the heather~Her name is: Erica~"

Ordinary folk songs sung by the Middenlings are just like military songs, but they have a special flavor, like Black Forest sausages, with the characteristics of Middenlings.

At the end of a song, Morgiana was not to be outdone, and the Lake God Witch also signaled to her Holy Grail guards to arrange.

As a result, the loud and clear "Marseillaise" sounded on Middenling Avenue.

"Wake up, people of the motherland~ The glorious day has come~"

"Evil against us ~ the blood-stained banner has been raised ~"

"The blood-stained flag has been raised~"

…………

"Citizens ~ arm up!"

"Citizens ~ join the battle!"

"Forward! Forward!"

Brilliant singing ignited the entire avenue, and the Bretons sang the "La Marseillaise" loudly, which suppressed the momentum of the leader of Midden, especially Morgiana who sang in person, and the unique tongue of the witch of the lake conquered all people.

Ryan smiled triumphantly, singing this song, what do the people of the empire think? 1940 Tour de France?

wrong! I have Ryan Malcador here!

Rhine Federation warning!

At the end of a song, the cheers of "Long live the king, praise the lady" stretched thousands of meters away.

Boris and Emil looked at each other, and the White Wolf Elector said helplessly: "I also want this kind of love."

"Belga once looked for you, but you didn't agree, Boris." Great Emil respected the strong, and he said slowly: "Look at that army."

"Old Guards?" Boris looked down at Emil's warhammer and muttered, "I know they are very powerful, Emil, if you think about it, I think our Teutonic guards are not inferior."

"This army was brought out by relying on this guy Ryan Macado, relying on his endless victories and abundant financial resources." Emir panted heavily: "Ulrich, you know I What are you doing?"

"Yourik, I hope we can survive this crisis."

"Urik will protect us."

……… I am the dividing line above Urik………

A week later, the human army arrived at Middenstang, a large town in the south of Middenland. The army planned to stay here for a while, and then went east to support Osterland.

However, on the night when the army arrived in Mildenstagel, emergency military reports came to the town one after another!

"An astonishing army of beastmen appeared in the southeast of the town! Look at the banner, it's that Calamity! It's the Cruel One-Getwo! After nearly a thousand years, it's back! It's back with an army of about 80,000 beastmen Already!"

"An astonishing army of green skin goblins appeared in the southwest of the town! According to the report from the scouts, it is the Black Pit! It is the damned king of green skin spiders, Snagra-Venom! There was no battle between the green skins and the beastmen, it seems It's an alliance! There are about 70,000 green skins!"

"What? The Greenskins and the Beastmen joined forces?" The two human commanders were shocked by the result. After hearing the information, the Lin map was immediately spread out in the hall of the earl's castle in Midenstern.

The alliance between the Greenskins and the Beasts has brought about a dramatic change in the strength of the two sides. The human coalition has about 76,000 troops, and according to intelligence, the Greenskins and Beasts have as many as 150,000 troops!

The heavy pressure made everyone present a little breathless. Almost all the commanders could hardly understand why the situation took such a turn for the worse. It was obvious that the two sides had already completed the confluence, and now they were also at an absolute disadvantage? !

But before everyone digested the terrible news, the news from Nordland made everyone's hearts twitch.

The Nord scouts detected the vicinity of the central mountain range, and the Slaanesh army, led by the beautiful prince Sigwald, was about to pass through the mountain range and go south, aiming at the human army in Midenstern.

"There is no time to hesitate!" Ryan made a decisive decision, and the Knight Dynasty said to the crowd: "We can't wait until Sigvald and his Slaanesh army join the battlefield, then we will be in a desperate situation, we must fight now Here, right here in Mildenstagel, immediately fight a decisive battle with the Beastmen Greenskin Alliance!"

"That's right!" Boris immediately agreed with this opinion. The White Wolf Elector has always been a decisive person. He drew out his rune fang: "My sword will let the green bastards and chaotic bastards in the forest understand, who He is the real owner of Middenland!"

"Let's start the battle plan!"

At the same time, on the other side, fifteen kilometers away from Mildenstagel, was the base camp of the Beastmen and Greenskin coalition forces.

The two sides are also arguing fiercely.

"I was thinking that we already have absolutely aaagh children, at this time, we should aaagh go over and knock those shrimps to the ground with one fist! Turn them over with a grunt and step on them into clubs and hammers, hey For our lovely giant spiders!" The king of green-skinned spiders, Snagra-Poison Saliva, wore a feathered spider mask on his head, and his shrill voice screamed at the Beastman Supreme Beastmaster Gottwo: "We never Fighting like this! Don’t worry, we have a lot of love, and my son and the big guys are old aaagh, no one would not give aaagh under such aaagh chatting situation, this is not aaagh at all!”

"Snake God's reinforcements...on the road...waiting...to attack...victory." The Supreme Beast King Getwo also shouted at the green skin: "The decisive battle...the timing...grasp..."

"Are you sure? Don't you know how to be sure? I'm squatting in the corner, can I look at the fart? Is there any money for so much money? I'm so upset!" Snagra screamed: "Don't you Hit, I'll hit, I'm going to use the skulls of Boris Todbringer and Ryan Malcado this time!"

Gertwell waits, the green-skinned goblin scout suddenly brings terrible news!

In the south, the reinforcements of the empire are approaching the south of Middenland along the Talabek River! This is a huge human army of more than 60,000 people, commanded by Rick Marshal Heilberg and Nuer Marshal Erstein! Carrying a huge number of firearms and a large number of cavalry, they are approaching at a very fast speed!

The green-skinned Beastman army also felt tremendous pressure. If the army in the south of the empire attacked from both sides, then the green-skinned beastman allied army was very likely to suffer a disgraceful defeat.

As a result, the main combat faction gained the upper hand, and after discussions with the Beastmen Greenskin Allied Forces, they decided to take the initiative to march towards Middenstagel.

In this way, both sides decided to take the initiative to attack and launch a decisive battle.

Middenstang, an important southern town in the Middenland, is about to usher in an unprecedented battle.

This battle was later known as the "Battle of the Three Kings of Mildenstagel".
