Chapter 1015, the Upcoming 3-Way Encirclement
May 2515 Imperial Calendar, New World, Lustria, Isthmus of Lustria, Costantinier (formerly Port of the Predator), luxurious stables of Legion of Ashes (limited to elven horses).
The first heir to the Kingdom of Brittany Knights and the Duchy of Winford, the eldest son of Duke François and the brother of Queen Suria, Julius Kumani-Antri-de- Winford got up.
This expeditionary knight is now the commander of the Chase Cavalry of the Legion of Ashes, responsible for commanding most of the cavalry of the Legion of Ashes. Relying on his incomparable bravery, perseverance, tenacious style, excellent command ability and tactical ability, he won the title "Julius, Holy War Knight" recognized by everyone.
Similarly, Fulgan also took great care of this relative, took him to participate in several war opportunities, and usually taught him his rich knowledge and experience, but he has not yet agreed to Julius to join him. The pro-guard Phoenix Guard, Fulgrim's reason for this is "not yet time" (actually Fulgrim has no gene seeds in his hands).
This made Julius very depressed.
However, more depressing things are yet to come.
Originally, Julius thought to himself that he had made so many contributions and accomplished so many feats, and the number of Skaven warlords and warlock engineers who died in his hands alone could not be counted on one hand, plus many green skins Shaman and undead pirate captain, when there is no war, he should be assigned a more important position, right?
No, when he came back from the battle outside, Ryan's brother-in-law became a groom in the Legion of Ashes, and was responsible for serving those grumpy and extremely proud pure-blooded elf warhorses.
After Julius' efforts, the two pure-blooded elf warhorses that Fulgan obtained from the Arab King finally managed to give birth to a few foals (Julius was required to help behind the mating) Pushing hard), what's more terrible is that since then, the pure-blood elf warhorse family has identified Julius and only let him serve. A hoof, a hoof of a pure blood elf war horse is not good. Although the proud pure blood elf war horse will not directly kick people to death like a wild horse that has no IQ and cannot control the strength, it is really hard to be kicked like this.
A pure-blooded elf steed would be just right enough to kick someone like hell without being kicked to death or crippled on the spot.
So in the end, after coming and going, Fulgan took advantage of the situation and continued to let Julius be the groom, and Julius had to agree.
After getting up, washing up a little and having breakfast, Julius put on a groom's clothes that are resistant to dirt again, carried two buckets of water and fresh milk, and went into the stable to work.
Several pure-blooded elf horses neighed excitedly when they saw Julius coming in, came over to lick his face and rubbed his neck, and began to enjoy breakfast. Among them, two pure-blooded elf horses came up, Putting his hoof in front of Julius.
Hey, breeder, it's time to fix my hooves!
Although Julius felt very helpless, the holy war knight has always been a very dedicated person. He immediately expressed his understanding, then took the iron tongs, took the fine iron horseshoe off the horseshoe of the pure-blood elf horse, and then the iron tongs It was thrown on the ground, and a small iron hook was skillfully held by Julius, and his movements were very nimble to help the horse quickly clean up the many mud, weeds and attachments that had accumulated inside the horse's hooves.
"咴~~~" the war horse neighed excitedly, the hooves were cleaned,
A lot of cool!
After cleaning the horseshoes, Julius was already sweating on his forehead, but his hands kept moving, the small iron hook was thrown on the ground again, and the iron tongs were picked up again. This time Julius will The blackened and aged cuticles on the horse's hoof were all cut off with iron tongs, and then a small brush was taken out to brush it again, and a brand new horseshoe was taken out and nailed to the horse.
"咴咴咴~" After changing a round of horseshoes, all the pure-blooded elf warhorses kept barking happily. Julius's SPA is still comfortable.
It was already ten o'clock in the morning after finishing the lap, and Julius was sweating profusely from the heat. The brother-in-law had just sat down to rest for a while, when he found a person standing outside the stable.
"I have to say, Yuli, you are already a qualified groom." Fulgan, who had just returned from Hesiota, showed a meaningful smile, and said to his brother-in-law: "I announce that I will award you the Legion of Ashes of the Year." The title of advanced groom."
"..." Julius has followed Fulgrim for a long time, and now he is more and more reticent (because after following Fulgrim for a long time, he feels that many of his thoughts are naive and many actions are stupid), although he regards Fulgrim as a leader in his heart Julius subconsciously breathed out a dirty breath, and just made a hand gesture, indicating that if there is anything to say, just say it.
"Why, dissatisfied?" Fulgrim was still teasing his relatives, he smiled sincerely, and showed his teeth, the eyes of the Primarch of the Emperor's Son were as handsome as stars, filled with endless pride and wildness, as well as extraordinary Even the sun of Lustria lost its light in Fulgan's smile: "Or, I give you a title, what do you think of 'avoiding horse plague'?"
Julius can't look directly at Fulgrim's bright smile until now, he always feels that his heart will involuntarily speed up, and the blood circulation on his face will increase: "If you have anything to say, just say it, Legion Commander."
"The matter here has to be dealt with quickly, and I have brought new news." Forgan's expression became serious: "We will gather at my villa at noon."
Julius nodded.
There is war again!
At noon, in Fulgen's seaside villa, all the senior officials of the Ashes Legion sat down to discuss the new threat of war.
Attending the meeting were: Legion Commander Fulgan, Deputy Legion Commander and Captain Pirazo of the Phoenix Guard, Chase Cavalry Commander Julius, Chief Magic Advisor Gold Mage, Chief Engineer Jerry Grimm, Wood Elf Princess Carlo Na, General Political Commissar Harlan Sanders (formerly Lev Davidovich), former Estalia General Pedro, former Imperial General Weidenfeller, former Kislev Marshal Yegoro Husband, Cheka Special Forces Commander Steel Felix, Demon Hunter Master Hertwig, Halfling Expedition Captain Harpy and so on.
The Legion of Ashes now has 40,000 troops. Through his charm, strong personal ability, and prestige, Fulgrim has gathered humans (?) from all over the world, and firmly united them together.
However, what they are about to face now is a huge crisis.
"According to the information from Mazda-Moody, the leader of the lizardmen of Hesiota, three evil armies are rapidly approaching us." Fulgan explained the situation to everyone, and the Legion of Ashes The head of the legion really felt tricky this time.
A huge map was hung behind Fulgrim. He pulled out a baton and pointed it to the north: "In the north, a large group of Chaos troops are gathering, forming an army of tens of thousands of people. They come from The northern wastelands, however, blazed a trail of blood in Naggaroth until the dark elves made peace with them - the dark elves made way for them to continue attacking us south, and these cunning dark elves declared an alliance with Chaos , to act as the guide, scout and backbone of this legion, each dark elf is promised a hundred slaves."
"The leader of this wandering legion is named Vashner-Destroyer, and he rides a giant black dragon--Midnight Shadow. Their goal is only one, and that is to burn the entire Lustria to ashes."
Everyone cursed after hearing the news, cursing the dark elves and the Chaos army to die. Jerrick Grimm, the chief dwarf engineer of Haimen Pass, even went crazy after saying "Grimnir is here!" Spraying dwarves, speaking too fast, everyone didn't understand what he was spraying.
"The lizardmen promised to help us deal with this army, and the second army is our old opponent, that is, Skaven, the warlord of the Plague Clan of the Skaven Skaven, and it is back after the last failure." Fulgen calmly continued to the crowd: "They will come from the south and attack us. We don't know how many enemies there will be. Tehenhauin, the snake god of the lizard people, promised to help us stop most of them." Skaven, yet we still face a sizable Skaven army, be prepared, the Skaven won't even take any prisoners."
"Why do bad things always appear together?" Pirazzo came up with a black humor: "Is it because my beard is wrong today?"
"Mice should be damned." Chief Political Commissar Lev stroked his beard, "I'm going to use the New Orleans barbecue method I recently invented to roast these mice into dried mice."
"In addition to these two routes, I got news that there is another army that will also participate in this siege, and that is Luther Harken, the undead pirate king we fought against." Fulgan pointed directly at the ocean: "Obviously he still Will try to get back the slate we stole."
"Very good, very good, now, all our enemies are gathered together, let us deal with all threats once and for all." Julius felt the blood rushing up and down his body, and he couldn't wait.
"If this is the case, our 40,000 people may not be enough to defend Constantine." Master Jin is not optimistic about this battle: "If the opponent attacks at the same time, we must divide into three defenses, then, Our 40,000 troops will be largely dispersed, and facing a three-way attack at the same time will put our defenses to the severest test."
"Yes, that's right." Fulgan nodded lightly: "Therefore, we must have a plan."
"Legion commander, what wonderful plan do you have? Tell Habi, Habi wants to hear it!" The halfling jumped up and down excitedly: "Can you tell Habi?"
"There is no specific plan yet, I only have a few rough ideas." Forgan shook his head: "But Karim is right, we can't sit in Constantinier and wait for the three-way army to come to the door, my opinion Yes, we must act ahead of time."
"Action? You mean, Legion Commander, let's deal with all the enemies first?" General Political Commissar Harlan Sanders carefully looked at the map: "But if the troops are dispatched in advance, how can we ensure the defense of Constantinier? ?”
"It depends on the speed of the three-way army and some of our methods." Fulgan put his gaze on the map: "It seems that the three parties have reached an agreement to jointly launch an attack, but assuming our small number of troops and lizards Allies and temporarily help us hold off some of the enemies, so we can focus our energy first and solve all the way first.”
"How to choose the enemy will be the key to our victory." Forgan suddenly laughed: "Enemies!"
Seeing this, everyone immediately began to talk about who should be dealt with first. Most of them still had chaos or undead pirates in their minds. It seemed that everyone was troubled by the plague of the Skaven.
"Don't rush to make a decision now." Fulgan shook his head: "We still have time, what we should do now is to collect more information, the existing information is too little."
After arranging for everyone to send their own manpower to strengthen the investigation, and start to strengthen the peripheral fortifications of the stronghold and make preparations for war, everyone temporarily adjourned the meeting.
Carona, the wood elf princess, seemed to want to stay. After everyone went out one after another, she stayed in Forgan's villa and seemed to have something to say, but Forgan smiled and shook his head: "No, at least not now, I still have something to do. Karona, take someone to the south to investigate first, and meet with the Zombie Legion of Sotek God Chosen Tehenhauin to learn about the Skaven's movements."
"Okay." Carona also knew that now was not the time to be willful, she snorted aggrievedly, and walked out.
Fulgrim was the only one left in the villa, and the Primarch, the Emperor's Son, stood there looking at the map without saying a word.
Fulgan knew very well in his heart that the situation he was about to face was extremely severe.
The deal between the emperor and the magic toad does not include the protection of Sanguinius... The lizardmen will only assist in this battle, and will not fight to the death for the survival of Constantinier. The real battle must be ashes The Legion resisted.
What's worse is that Fulgrim has a faint feeling in his heart, that is, outside of these three forces, there must be a group of enemies hidden deeper. It was doomed for Fulgrim to be passive.
How to concentrate our forces first to gain an advantage? How to turn passive into active?
Fulgan frowned, because the information he had was still too little.
At this moment, a golden light lit up inside the room, a pair of holy wings spread out, pointing straight to the zenith, and the golden virtual image of Sanguinius appeared, and he looked at his brother with a smile: "You seem to be very troubled , brother, I may have to apologize to you for causing you trouble."
"It's not your problem, Sanguinius." Only then did Fulgan realize that the Sunfire Amulet hanging around his waist lit up, seeing Sanguinius's smile, Fulgan squeezed out a smile: "This is Destined, if you don’t come now, you will come sooner or later.”
"It's really amazing that you can manage these messy people with different races and different cultural beliefs." Sanguinius' expression was sincere and sincere: "At least I couldn't do it. It was Guilliman who managed these things back then."
"It's actually not difficult." Fulgan shook his head slightly: "It just requires a little skill. Just wait, Sanguinius, I will use the most beautiful battle to celebrate your resurrection."
However, it was Sanguinius' turn to shake his head at this time: "Don't think about solving the problem by fighting a beautiful and perfect battle, brother, you have to prepare for this very difficult battle. I have a hunch that it will be very difficult. Are you ready to take the Legion of Ashes to fight for your life?"
"Premonition?" Forgan's heart moved: "What premonition? Can you explain everything clearly? Brother?"
"I saw a blurry image, in the image, he is fighting you..."
"he?"
