Chapter 984 Wildfire Starts a Prairie

From the very beginning, the Yongye military leaders were not satisfied with simply occupying the land, they also wanted to uproot the big tree that originally lived on this land and plant their own roots.

If someone had made such remarks to Earl Nickles half a day ago, he would still have sneered.

But now, isn't the other party doing exactly that?

Even the night attack in front of him was prepared by the other party.

The magic giant who resembled Sophilia didn't appear sooner or later, but it happened when they gathered outside the Helian Mountain Pass in large numbers, and they were about to open the mountain gate and rush into the fault mountain range.

It can't be explained by coincidence.

This is more like the other party doing it on purpose, and then conveniently wiped them all out, not even giving them the chance to beg for peace.

The battlefield they chose has become their grave.

"It's really a scheming and vicious method." Earl Nichols, who had completely figured it out, laughed three times, drew out his saber, and wiped it towards his neck.

This sword was so fast and ruthless that most of Earl Niklus' neck was cut open, blood spurted wildly, and he lost his breath within a few minutes.

"Master General..."

"My lord..."

The lucky ones who followed Earl Niklus uttered the mournful cries of the death of the rabbit and the fox.

laugh! laugh! laugh!

After a few seconds, many people raised their swords and followed in the footsteps of Earl Nicholas.

It's not that they are so stupid and loyal, but this way itself is a kind of relief.

They are now in a big steam oven. The inside and outside of the Helian Mountain Pass have already been enveloped by ferocious magic flames. The sweat on their bodies will be evaporated before it has time to gather.

In a few minutes, they will be steamed.

Compared to this method of death, Earl Nicholas's method of death was actually happier.

"The Helian Pass has fallen, and our only escape route has been blocked."

"The situation is completely irreversible, everyone should run for their lives."

"Flower Language Plateau is over! The Brian family is over!"

"The Yong Ye army leaders are very vicious, they want to kill them all!"

The burning Helian Pass became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

All the Huayu Plateau soldiers looked at the burning mountain pass with deep despair.

They didn't know what happened here, they just thought that the other army led by the Yong Ye army came from here, and they cooperated with each other to turn them into sandwich biscuits.

The coalition army on the Huayu Plateau was completely disintegrated, like headless chickens, fleeing along the mountain to both sides, trying to jump out of the encirclement of the Yongye army leader.

But they are doomed to despair.

Because what launched the attack from behind them was not the small unit led by the Yongye army, but five reorganized and strengthened main battle corps, with nearly 50,000 people.

It was only two of them who attacked them before.

The other three are in the direction where they are prone to collapse, and have set up pocket formations, waiting for them to drill in by themselves.

Most of the scattered Huayu Plateau soldiers fell on the blocking position without even seeing the soldiers of the Yong Ye Army.

From the beginning to the end, the leader of the Yong Ye Army had no intention of accepting prisoners.

It has to be said that Viscount Copperfield Gauld's views on the Eternal Night Army Commander are very accurate.

The military strength of the Huayu Plateau and the Yongye Army Commander is too great.

It is not difficult for the leader of the Yongye Army to annex the Huayu Plateau.

In Sean's view, what is really difficult is the governance issue after the Huayu Plateau is annexed.

The Huayu Plateau is different from the crocodile people in the Desperate Swamp, and also different from the Kentana barbarians on the Candid Ice Field.

When the Yong Ye army leader annexed the two, they had not unified the regime for many years.

Coupled with the fact that they themselves were facing the crisis of changes in the general environment at that time, the Yongye Army Leader could easily use this to divide and rule them.

The high principle of Huayu is different. The Bryan family has ruled here for more than three hundred years. Although their ruling methods are not very brilliant, the orthodox concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Even though the Bryan family chose to surrender due to the strong military strength of the Yong Ye Army.

The resettlement of local dignitaries will become a big headache.

If it is too harsh, they are likely to defect repeatedly.

If it is too gentle, it will not be conducive to the formation of a stable rear for the Yong Ye army leader, and will continue to disperse their forces.

Under normal circumstances, the Yong Ye military leader might spend ten or even twenty years to slowly divide them.

The general environment facing the Yong Ye army leader did not allow them to adopt such gentle measures.

The military staff, headed by chief of staff Kellman, tailored a battle plan called "Wildfire" for the Huayu Plateau.

The idea is that wildfire can start a prairie fire.

The first step of this battle plan is to use the underground magic railway that the leader of the Yongye army has prepared for many years, so that his elite army can jump behind the elite of the Brian family.

Take advantage of their defenselessness and injure or even annihilate them in one fell swoop.

It only took them half a day to complete this perfectly.

Headed by Earl Nichols, there were more than 38,000 people guarding Helian Mountain Pass, and less than 3,000 of them fled. The remaining 30,000 people were all buried here, and there were very few prisoners.

The leader of the Yongye army declared to the outside world that these elites of the Bryan family, led by Earl Nicholas, resisted to the death and refused to surrender. They all died in battle.

But only those rout soldiers who crawled out from the pile of dead people knew that the commander of Yong Ye never gave them a chance to surrender. Some of them knelt down and begged for surrender, and the other party didn't seem to know it. took their lives.

There were only five main battle legions of the Eternal Night Army who attacked the Helian Mountain Pass at night, while the Southwest Front Army led by the Yong Ye Army who jumped into the Huayu Plateau had ten main battle legions.

The remaining five did not stick to the exit of the underground magic railway.

One main battle corps is enough to complete this task, and the remaining four main battle corps, at the same time, launched an attack to the southwest from the Huayu Plateau local aristocratic private army that has not yet joined.

Although their achievements were not as brilliant as those at the Helian Pass, they could still be described as devastating.

On equipment.

The local aristocratic private army on the Huayu Plateau is still in the period of pure cold weapons.

The Yong Ye army leader is equipped with both hot and cold weapons, rifles and cannons, which have been deployed on a large scale.

If you talk about the quality of soldiers.

The Huayu Plateau has not had any major wars for many years, and its armaments are slack.

The leader of the Eternal Night Army has been expanding. In the past five years, it has fought bloody battles with unconventional enemies like the Undead Empire. All legions have fought here.

On the command level.

The ownership of one party is chaotic, and there is no motley army under the system.

One side has a complete organizational system, strict military regulations, and a unified whole with clear combat objectives and combat plans.

All aspects are completely incomparable, and the Huayu Plateau side can make waves.

The battle between the Yongye Army Commander and the Huayu Plateau, no matter whether there are many or few people, none of them lasted more than half a day.

It all ended with the complete defeat of the Huayu Plateau nobles' private army.

After the Yongye Army led the Southwest Front Army and achieved a series of brilliant victories, they did not rush to the Huayu City, the home of the Brian family, at a fast pace.

Instead, he set up a battle on the spot, a posture of fighting a long battle.

On the contrary, the news that Earl Nichols led the elite of the Brian family and fell to the Helian Pass, flew all over the Huayu Plateau in the shortest time, as if he had wings, and everyone knew about it.

This is the second step of the wildfire plan - autumn wind.

The Yong Ye military leader must give those revolutionary parties enough time to burn, so that they have the opportunity to burn up and completely burn the power of the nobles in the Huayu Plateau.

Those revolutionary parties did not live up to the expectations of the Yong Ye army leader.

When they got the news that the local aristocratic private army summoned by Grand Duke Christine had all been wiped out at the Helian Pass, they didn't need the encouragement of someone with a heart, and many people took advantage of the opportunity to rise up.

Both for pure hatred.

There are also those for lofty ideals.

There are also those who take advantage of the fire to rob and make a fortune from it.

Regardless of their purpose or reason, most of the targets they aimed at were the local nobles on the Huayu Plateau.

After the Ash Party captured several towns and issued the Declaration of Independence, the wildfire completely entered a state of prairie fire.

Many forces and people followed suit and announced their separation from the rule of the Bryan family. Before that, many people were ordinary citizens, but now they have turned into revolutionaries.

The ruling class of the Huayu Plateau was so exploited back then, and the revenge methods now are as bloody and cruel.

Most people, especially those at the bottom, don't have such a long-term vision at all, and they will think about the future. They are more of a muddle-headed mentality.

As for what fate awaits them and Huayu Plateau in the end, most people don't care at all.

This is the carnival of ordinary people in Huayu Plateau, but it is the end of those nobles, including those wealthy businessmen, no matter whether they were benevolent or cruel before.

Because those revolutionary parties became extremely brutal and bloody under the influence of the general environment.

Their wealth was divided, their wives and daughters were raped, and their lives were killed.

The former homeland, the former paradise, has become their hell.

Want to escape from here, but can't find a way.

On this land, as long as there are people, there is no safety at all.

Even if you want to escape, you can't do it, because all the safe passages to escape here have already fallen into the control of the Yong Ye army leader.

The current attitude of Yongye Army Leader is very ambiguous. Although they did not openly support the Revolutionary Party, their inaction is the best connivance and acquiescence to them.

They even used spies as an excuse to refuse any Huayu Plateau people to enter or leave their territory, including those who had economic ties with them.

These people have also lost their own use value now. Once the Yongye army leader swallows the Huayu Plateau, there is no need for them, a group of middlemen, to hand over part of the benefits.

Huayu City has become the last safe haven for most nobles.

Grand Duke Christine became their last hope.

There are tens of thousands of elite members of the Brian family who did not go to the Helian Pass and survived the disaster.

If this army is used to fight against the Yongye army leader, it will only deliver food to others, not enough for them to eat for half a day.

But it is more than enough to deter those revolutionary parties.

After all, the Revolutionary Party now only has a large number of people. In terms of equipment and training, it is still a group of mobs.

There are still differences and conflicts between various organizations and parties, not to mention cooperation. Once the two sides meet, it will be good if they don't fight.

Even the Ashes Party, known as the largest revolutionary party, will not have the ability to capture a big city like Huayu City in a short time.

Before dawn, nobles who had fled from all directions had already gathered outside the castle of Grand Duke Christian.

"When will Your Majesty receive us?"

"It's already the fifth day, His Majesty still refuses to meet us?"

"Escaping will not solve any problems. If His Majesty continues to evade, all of us will die without a place to die."

Seeing that the sun had passed, the interior of Bryan Castle was still lifeless, and there was no sign of receiving these noble lords.

These noble lords couldn't sit still.

Even if the opponent is his own king, he can't help but criticize.

Their territory is being ravaged by mobs, and their wealth is being divided up and looted.

For every day of delay, they suffer a great loss.

Many of them still have hope in their hearts, hoping that Grand Duke Christine can lead them to turn the tide, at least on the way to Huayu Plateau, they have hope.

But the various performances of Grand Duke Christine really poured cold water on them.

It has been several weeks since many people arrived in Huayu City, and they have not even seen the face of Grand Duke Christine. In the past week, they have completely sealed off their castle and will not receive anyone.

The reason is that the Grand Duke of Ardonia, who had served the Bryan family for more than half a century, died of a serious illness, and Grand Duke Christine wanted to mourn for him.

If Grand Duke Christine did this in normal times, everyone would have nothing to say, and would even praise his kindness. After all, no one would dislike a ruler who remembered old feelings.

But under the circumstances in front of Huayu Plateau, if he does this again, it will be very problematic.

In the eyes of many people, Grand Duke Christine is using the funeral for the University of Yadonia as an excuse to escape the cruel reality that the Bryan family is now facing.

"My lords, please understand your majesty's difficulties. A few weeks ago, your majesty received the sad news that Earl Nicholas had died in a fierce battle. Now the grand scholar has left your majesty again. The situation on the plateau is changing at an unoptimistic speed. Worse, even Iron Man can't withstand such a series of blows.

I know the anxiety in the hearts of all the adults, but we are one, so why is Your Majesty not anxious, even above all the adults, let us give Your Majesty a little more time, I believe His Majesty will be able to lead us out of the predicament. "

Calvin, Minister of Intelligence of Grand Duke Christine, tried his best to defend his king. As for whether he completely believed these words, he alone knew.
