Chapter 526 Sounds the clarion call for decisive battle


    Leonard''s whole body tensed up instantly, and his body felt cold.


    The Kingdom of Fes and the Kingdom of Gordon have joined forces?


    How is this possible? !


    The Paro Federation had always wanted to get the support of the Kingdom of Fes, so it kept sending envoys to Bright Light City to lobby the top officials of the Kingdom of Fes.


    At first, the Kingdom of Fes had some tendency to move, but then there was no other news.


    The Kingdom of Fes didn’t know what it was thinking, so it just kept its troops there.


    In a sense, the Paro Federation is actually quite


    They were worried that the Fes Kingdom would suddenly attack them, but the threat from the Gordon Kingdom was too great, so they could only invest most of their strength here.


    We can only hope that the Fes Kingdom can remain stable and not take action against the Paro Federation in crisis.


    Leonard didn''t expect that the situation he was facing now would be so bad.


    The Kingdom of Fes and the Kingdom of Gordon have united!


    What happened? Why didn''t the Federation get any news?


    Wait, is it because of this person?


    If it were Duke Kane and Elf Sage Lis, it would indeed be possible for King Morton to make such a decision.


    How to do it?


    What should I do?


    Leonard''s brain was running rapidly, thinking about how to remedy this extremely bad situation.


    After a moment, Leonard sighed and said:


    "Sir Li Si, you didn''t come here just to see me and laugh at me, right?"


    "I assume that as an elf sage, you don''t have such a bad taste?"


    "Can you tell me what you want to do?"


    Leonard paused, sighed and said:


    "In other words, what should the Paro Federation do to get the Kingdom of Gordon and the Kingdom of Fes to let us go?"


    Seeing this, Li Si nodded slightly and said with a smile:


    "You responded quickly."


    "I certainly didn''t come to you to tell you the news."


    Li Si sat opposite Leonard, and Leonard was clearly standing, but somehow felt as if he was being looked down upon by Li Si.


    The rhythm of the entire conversation was controlled by Li Si, and Leonard could only passively follow his guidance.


    "Since the Kingdom of Fes and the Kingdom of Gordon have joined forces, you should understand that the Archibald Kingdom and your Paro Federation have no chance."


    Leonard was silent and could only nod slightly.


    Although he wanted to defend himself against his will, it didn''t make much sense.


    Originally, the Paro Federation was a loose coalition. Even if it faced the threat from the Kingdom of Gordon and chose to cooperate with the Kingdom of Archibald, the leaders of the various city-states did not exert their full strength.


    Basically, the most elite troops are left to protect themselves, and only the other legions are dispatched to join the coalition.


    Even so, the leadership in the coalition is extremely chaotic.


    Just like before, they compete for credit and blame each other when they need to take responsibility.


    This is the case for the leadership of the army, let alone the soldiers?


    Coupled with the latest failure, Leonard has been a little anxious.


    Previously, there was hope that the Kingdom of Gordon''s multi-front battle would collapse early, but now that the Kingdom of Fes has united with it, no matter how much losses there are, it is impossible to shake the foundation of the Kingdom of Gordon in a short time.


    In this case, are the Paro Federation and Archibald Kingdom in danger?


    etc? !


    "You mean, you want us to turn against you and help you defeat the Kingdom of Archibald?"


    Leonard suddenly realized something and suddenly looked up at Li Si.


    "That''s right."


    Li Si nodded slightly, rocked the chair slightly and looked at Leonard.


    "Do you agree?"


    ".So what do we get?"


    Leonard calmed down and said in a deep voice, if this is the case, it may not be an unacceptable choice.


    Backstabbing an ally is annoying, but it''s better than falling into the abyss with the Kingdom of Archibald.


    If this is the case, the Paro Federation is even willing to take the initiative to add more soil to the grave of Archibald Kingdom.


    Li Si looked at Leonard and knew that he had made a decision in his heart.


    This is also normal.


    A dead Taoist friend should not die a poor Taoist!


    "You get nothing."


    Li Si shook his head, looked at Leonard and said:


    "In addition to attacking the Archibald Kingdom''s army on the battlefield, you will also assist us in attacking the Archibald Kingdom. All the acquired territory belongs to the Fes Kingdom."


    "At the same time, the Paro Federation needs to exchange part of its territory with the Kingdom of Fes, and the replacement object is the land of the Kingdom of Archibald."


    "In addition, the Paro Federation provides magic gems and magic metals to the Kingdom of Fes free of charge every year. The specific amount is negotiated by the two countries."


    In Leonard''s eyes, Li Si was just like the Smiling Tiger, who clearly had a smile on his face but said a series of conditions that were unacceptable to the Paro Federation.


    Let''s not talk about attacking allies on the battlefield. Later, when we attack Archibald Kingdom, we still need to send out their troops.


    It sounds like they are assisting, but in fact they are just serving as cannon fodder.


    The second condition is also extremely difficult for the Paro Federation to accept. Territory replacement?


    To be honest, if it was the time of peace before, the Paro Federation might still be interested.


    After all, the territory of the Paro Federation is very fragmented and the land is barren. Apart from minerals, there is not much that attracts others'' attention.


    But in the face of war, various terrains gave the Paro Federation a certain degree of protection.


    On the one hand, it is more difficult to attack the Paro Federation. On the other hand, other kingdoms are likely to be less interested in the lands of the Paro Federation.


    If the Kingdom of Fes now chooses to replace its territory, even a small part of it will open an obvious gap in the protection of the Paro Federation.


    This is tantamount to a sharp blade hanging over the head of the Paro Federation, as if it were a knife in the throat.


    Similarly, because of the system of the Paro Federation, replacing the land of that city-state was another bad deal.


    As for the last condition, it is the easiest for the Paro Federation.


    Just think of spending money to buy peace. The city lords will definitely be quite reasonable in this matter.


    Seeing Leonard''s tangled expression, Li Si stood up casually and wandered around the military tent to take a look.


    Even though there were maps and secret annotations on the table beside him, Leonard had no intention of paying attention to them. Anyway, under this situation, these are not bad.


    Li Si was indeed asking the lion to open his mouth, but he was not worried that Leonard would refuse.


    This is also the limitation of the Paro Federation itself.


    A pile of loose sand is a pile of loose sand. Even if Leonard''s abilities and intelligence are quite good, he cannot change this ending.


    What''s more, Li Si will not give the Paro Federation other options.


    The reason why he chose the Paro Federation instead of the Kingdom of Archibald also had this consideration.


    In comparison, the Paro Federation is easier to divide. Even if Leonard disagrees, his subordinates will push him to do these things after learning the truth.


    Even if you understand that you are drinking poison to quench your thirst, you must first overcome the current difficulties before talking about anything else.


    In addition, the Kingdom of Archibald is stronger in comparison, and directly defeating the Kingdom of Archibald is a better choice.


    Letting the Paro Federation be used as cannon fodder can also minimize the losses of the Golden Lion Knights.


    With the current situation of the Kingdom of Fes, even with the assistance of the Kingdom of Gordon, it is impossible to get rid of the Paro Federation and the Archibald Kingdom at the same time.


    In this case, it is better to choose to defeat the Kingdom of Archibald and let the Paro Federation become a buffer area between the Kingdom of Fes and the Kingdom of Gordon.


    In this way, the Fes Kingdom can plunder the greatest benefits.


    If the Fes Kingdom is full, Li Si will be able to eat even more.


    With the foresight of King Morton, Li Si will definitely be given a satisfactory return.


    ".I agree."


    After a while, Leonard looked at Lis who was relaxing in the tent and said with difficulty:


    "But I need to report this to federal parliament and that will take time."


    "Three days."


    Li Si nodded and said:


    "I will come to see you again in three days. I hope I can get a positive answer from the Paro Federation by then."


    Five days later,


    Between the rolling hills of Eli, a relatively flat hinterland spread out, as if it was a stage specially reserved by nature for this decisive battle.


    The sky was covered with a thick layer of lead dust, and the clouds hung low, blocking the warmth of the sun, leaving the entire battlefield enveloped in an extremely depressing atmosphere.


    The chilling autumn wind, with a bit of biting chill, shuttled between the two armies wantonly. It not only rolled up the withered yellow leaves, but also stirred up the army flags from time to time, making them sound like the prelude of war drums, foreshadowing A storm is coming.


    The sound of the wind, intertwined with the nervous heartbeats and heavy breathing of the soldiers, formed a tragic war song.


    The two armies were facing each other like two unshakable mountains. They were not far apart from each other, and the appearance of each other''s armor could be vaguely seen.


    The warriors of the Gordon Kingdom were dressed in iron armor, holding sharp blades, with firm eyes, and were ready for battle. Their figures looked particularly cold in the dim light, and every muscle was tense, preparing for the upcoming life-and-death battle.


    In this land that is about to be dyed red with blood, the brilliance of magic and warrior combat skills shines on the two armies from time to time, like the brightest stars in the night sky, but more dangerous than the stars.


    The magicians chanted in a low voice and waved their fingers, and the power of the elements gathered and took shape, either turning into flames or freezing into ice, ready to go;


    The warriors stimulated the potential in their bodies through superb combat skills, and were surrounded by a faint light, which was a symbol of their strength and belief.


    In a battle of this scale, even professionals would not be much better than ordinary soldiers. Silver-level or even gold-level professionals would be besieged to death if they were not careful.


    Gradually, the air was filled with an indescribable smell of gunpowder smoke. It was not only the smell of gunpowder and metal rubbing against each other, but also the suffocating urgency created by the silent collision of the long-established momentum and determination of both parties. feel.


    Every soldier knows that when the battle horn sounds, they will give everything they have without reservation just to win the final victory.


    Samuel, the commander of Archibald''s army, was still a little confused and looked warily at Gordon''s army not far away.


    He didn''t understand why the situation suddenly turned into what it was now.


    Was I in a coma for a month?


    Why is it suddenly necessary to fight to the death?


    After the small friction in the past two days, the Gordon Kingdom suddenly became hardened and took the initiative frequently.


    No longer even relying on the geographical advantages built in advance to fight, how could the Archibald Kingdom and the Paro Federation miss this great opportunity?


    Leonard advised him this way.


    Although I just experienced a failure, it may still be a good thing now.


    Perhaps because of that victory, the Gordon Kingdom felt that they could defeat them.


    It was under this circumstance that Samuel agreed to Leonard''s proposal and prepared to concentrate his efforts on a contest with the Gordon Kingdom.


    But when he was actually on the battlefield of the decisive battle, Samuel suddenly felt uneasy again.


    I had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn''t get the result.


    Seeing this, the adjutant on the side stepped forward to ask him in a low voice, but Samuel drove him away impatiently.


    As time passed, the armies of the two sides gradually approached under the command of their respective generals.


    At a certain moment, like a string being broken, the soldiers on both sides could no longer suppress the throbbing in their hearts, and the solemn and solemn atmosphere stimulated everyone.


    As a deafening war drum sounded, the two armies finally broke the long silence, like two unstoppable torrents, suddenly colliding together.


    At that moment, the sky and the earth seemed to change color, and the air was filled with the harsh sound of metal clashing, as well as the deafening shouts and roars of the soldiers.


    The soldiers of the Gordon Kingdom were like sharp swords, thrusting straight into the enemy''s heartland, and the opposing army showed no signs of weakness and came forward ferociously.


    The most brutal battle broke out at the intersection of the two armies. The soldiers waved their weapons, and each slash was accompanied by the loss of life. Blood sprayed in the air, and was quickly swallowed by the soil, destroying the land. Dyeed a shocking red.


    The war horses neighed in the melee, and their iron hooves trampled the bodies of the fallen soldiers, turning the ground into mud.


    In an instant, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Some were beheaded with a sword, some were pierced through the chest with spears, and many more were trampled and crushed in the chaos, eventually turning into pools of blood and mud. , can’t tell who is who.


    For a short period of time, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was nauseating, but the soldiers seemed to have lost their senses. They only knew to keep waving their weapons and charging forward until they collapsed from exhaustion.


    On the battlefield, life is like a fragile candle, swaying in the strong wind, and may be extinguished at any time.


    Just as the generals on both sides watched the scene on the battlefield nervously and kept making adjustments.


    Suddenly, on a hillside behind the Allied Forces of Archibald Kingdom and Paro Federation, violent magic fluctuations flashed across.


    When the light faded, a golden armored army suddenly appeared there, exuding an unparalleled brilliance.


    Each of the soldiers in this team is tall and muscular, revealing an extraordinary sense of strength. Their eyes are burning with fighting spirit, as if any difficulties and challenges in front of them will turn into nothing. Nothing.


    The war horses they ride are also extraordinary. Each one is heroic and majestic, with smooth muscle lines and powerful hooves. Every step seems to shake the earth.


    What an elite unit!


    Each golden-armored cavalry exudes a courageous aura and an unstoppable edge.


    Under the leadership of Bivis, the cavalry of the Golden Lion Knights began to move forward and continued to accelerate.


    With the help of the downhill slope, the speed of the cavalry was increased to the highest level. Under the horrified eyes of the Archibald Kingdom soldiers, they slammed into their direction with thunderous momentum.


    The clarion call for the decisive battle is only now sounding!
