    Section 2 Diplomatic Trends

    Four or five days have passed since the battle of Shenmu City. Baron Samtra of Stewa City fled back to his city with his soldiers.  Brati, Bumisio and others also fled to Malis, the main city of the Brant family, and the rest of the defeated generals also fled and surrendered.

    News of the war spread quickly to all parts of Dambreth Kingdom like a strong wind.  After hearing the news of Yiliu Yun's victory, Count Lamie of Lami City stood up in surprise and looked at the east for a long time in disbelief.

    After confirming the authenticity of the intelligence, Ramiller already had a countermeasure in mind. He quickly strengthened the alert in various towns along the eastern border line. At the same time, he issued alert orders to vassals and subordinates everywhere, and gathered a part of the army.  Depart for the main city of Lamy.

    After the nobles in the Senvi region and north of Waterdeep learned of the news of Elante's victory, most of the nobles who had sent troops panicked and moved to the northern continent with their money and property. Some nobles still stayed and watched.  situation.

    On the morning of November 26, King Lethamon, who was in the palace, also received the message from the messenger.

    In the palace hall, Lighthamon, who was sitting on the throne, excitedly said to Prime Minister Plantu who was standing below: "It's incredible! Even though the number, strength, and quality of the soldiers were all slightly inferior to the opponent's, Baron Elantra actually won.  Victory, this is so great. Haha!¡±

    "Yes! Now he occupies a territory of more than 40,000 square kilometers, with more than 100,000 people in the territory and more than 10,000 troops. He can be considered a powerful noble in the country and has the ability to influence the situation in the kingdom.  ¡±

    Plantu also said with excitement: "Your Majesty, it's time for us to establish diplomatic relations with him directly."

    "Um!"

    Lighthamon nodded and said: "Send our distant relative Baron Lemon Missy. This young man is twenty-eight years old, smart, capable, and eloquent. He has very good talents in aristocratic relations and power diplomacy. We will send him  It¡¯s a good choice to go out and negotiate.¡±

    "Um!"

    Plantu also nodded, touched his beard and said: "This is a good choice. We will neither lose our identity nor elevate each other. And we can obtain it through Lemon Missy's direct observation."  Learn more about the situation, make better judgments, and seek more benefits for our royal family."

    "Well! I'll write a letter and give the order right now." Wright Harmon picked up the quill and started writing.

    At around 12 noon on November 26, Bumisio and Blatty returned to Malis, the main city of the Brandt family, in embarrassment with wounds all over their bodies.

    In an old castle hall in the city of Malis, Duke Brandt sat solemnly on a chair in the hall, watching calmly as Bumishio, Bratty and others fled in and looked at him without saying a word. Standing next to him was a half-body bandage.  Kevlar, he looked at the people in front of him with sympathy.

    The group was silent in the hall for more than ten minutes. During such a long time, young Brati couldn't bear the silence at first. He took a step forward, lowered his head in shame and whispered: "Your Highness, Duke Brant, in this battle, we are indeed  We cannot live up to your expectations of us."

    "Um!"

    Duke Brant stared at Brati, a young man in his thirties, and said softly: "Is there any more?"

    ¡°We underestimated him before, and the consecutive defeats only increased Yi Liuyun¡¯s arrogance.¡± Bulati continued to lower his head and said in shame.

    "Um?"

    "Some of our aristocratic officers are not strong-willed enough. When they get to the battlefield, they are very sluggish and their combat effectiveness is not as powerful as usual. We are ashamed of your training for us!"

    "Um?"

    "I feel very ashamed because my arm was scratched by an arrow, General Boumisio was seriously injured and walked away, General Blair died on the battlefield, the army collapsed, and I did not fight to the end and escaped. Please punish me, Your Majesty the Duke!" Brati bit  He gritted his teeth, explained the situation at the time, mitigated his fault, bowed his head and half-knelt down to Duke Brant to admit his mistake.

    "kindness!"

    Duke Brant looked at Brati calmly, raised his hand gently and said:

    "Get up!"

    By the way, Brandt looked at Boumishio whose upper body was bandaged and asked coldly: "Do you have anything to say to me?"

    "Duke!"

    Bumi Xiu frowned, touched his chest, and said sadly: "I shouldn't have underestimated Yi Liuyun in the early days of the war. Later, we paid great attention to our opponents. However, due to the cunning of the enemy and the cowardice of our reinforcements, the battle of Shenmu City  The entire army failed."

    Duke Brant glanced sharply at Bumisxiu and said seriously: "Tell me all the details you know from the Battle of Welin Village to the Battle of Shenmu City and your feelings"??Tell me everything.  "

    "yes!"

    Bumi Xiu raised his hand and touched his head bitterly, and recalled: "After suppressing the mob rebellion in Shenmu Town, I received your order and led some 3,000 people towards Waterdeep City. That night we  Both sides discovered each other around Weilin Village, and I also saw Yi Liuyun scouting ahead."

    ¡°Then I led the army to camp on a hill four or five kilometers away from Senwei Village. On the morning of the next day, we started a fierce battle in the fields outside Senwei Village.¡±

    "At the beginning of the war, the archers of the Elantra army used a special long bow to defeat our archer group at a distance of more than 100 meters than ours. Then their light cavalry and horse archers quickly went to harass us.  Us. In such a situation, the morale of our army has begun to waver. As the archers retreat, our front infantry cannot bear the harassment of their cavalry. Some soldiers take the lead in attacking, so that loopholes appear in our formation and  Chaos, for the sake of the overall situation, I had to issue an order for the entire army to attack."

    "The ensuing war was beyond my expectation. Elant's archers were very powerful. Their bows could not shoot very far and very fast. Our cavalry only had more than 200 people. They were too few and entangled their cavalry on both wings.  There is no power to stop their archers, and our entire army has fallen into a passive state at this time."

    "During the continuous attacks, the morale of our army continues to decline, and some troops have already deserted. I also see that the situation is not good, and I am ready to let the front troops support for a while and lead the elite troops to retreat."

    "But then Yiliuyun, whose army was far larger than ours, actually used a despicable trick. Their reinforcements from Waterdeep City, which was more than 50 kilometers away, actually arrived in advance, with more than ten banners densely packed, and their soldiers  They all shouted that they had more than 1,000 reinforcements.¡±

    "After hearing the news, the morale of our army completely collapsed. Most of the people fled quickly and surrendered. I couldn't stop this situation, so I could only take some of the remaining soldiers to escape towards the rear. After the war,  I just heard that they don¡¯t have 1,000 reinforcements, but about three to five hundred.¡±

    "After returning to Shenmu City after the battle of Weilin Village, I told General Blair the specific battle situation. General Blair and I both attached great importance to Yi Liuyun."

    "In the battle of Shenmu City, we blocked them in stages on the roads in the Senwei area, delayed their time, and increased our reinforcements in Shenmu City. Due to previous lessons, we were very cautious and provoked them when they arrived outside Shenmu City.  We didn¡¯t go out of town when we were there.¡±

    "At noon on November 22, Baron Samtra from the city of Steva finally arrived belatedly. After gathering 7,800 people, we led the army out of the city, preparing to fight the Elantes."

    "The armies on both sides are so large, we have more than 7,800 people, and the Elantra army is close to 6,000 people. The commanders of both sides are very cautious. We are moving forward step by step. In terms of absolute numerical superiority, we are little by little.  They drove their army to their camp bit by bit, and then spent part of their troops to capture their camp. Their army couldn't stop it at all under the attack of our frontal numerical superiority. The whole army moved towards the rear hillside to set up a meal.  .¡±

    "The army was already red-eyed. Although the rear was on a slope, the Elantra army had already fled in confusion, and our vanguard also pursued them. Everything looked so beautiful. I seemed to have seen the news of victory."

    "But" Bumisio, who was intoxicated with the imagination of victory, suddenly changed his expression, frowned and said with a pale face: "Three or four huge fireballs fell from the sky, and one of them happened to hit the tent in the center of the coach."

    "Boom!"

    "A huge flame came from it, and huge smoke enveloped the central camp. Most of the soldiers in the central camp were injured. General Blair and I were also enveloped in smoke and flames, and Samtra's attendants were blown away.  He was hit by a piece of wood and died, and Samtra was so frightened that he collapsed on the spot.¡±

    "It all turned out to be Yi Liuyun's conspiracy. He deliberately abandoned the military camp, then placed a lot of hay and some mysterious burning objects around the coach's tent, and attacked us here."

    "After completing his plot, Yi Liuyun blew the horns and war drums. After hearing the news, many of the fleeing Elante army gathered to stay in place. The team that fled first had already gathered, and their cavalry was ready.  .¡±

    "At this moment, their reinforcements also appeared. Numerous flags and personnel ran out from the high ground. Elant's army roared that their reinforcements numbered more than 3,000 people. Many soldiers in front of us were intimidated by their lies.  , and our chain of command? was paralyzed. The soldiers at the front could no longer see their commanders and generals, and their morale fell into contradictory chaos. The war situation had changed a lot at this time, but it didn't matter, as long as the soldiers at the front could temporarily withstand it.  , our rear is gathering formation, and the army will never fail.  "

    "But at this moment, the awakened Baron Samtra actually led his retainers and part of the army to leave the battlefield and fled towards the rear. The Elantians took advantage of this and taunted loudly. The morale of the army in front of us suddenly collapsed under a series of blows.  Most of the people ran towards the rear, but I went to shout to stop them and was shot by long arrows and flying spears, so I had to retreat back."

    "Then General Blair regained his strength, gathered the army, and formed a military formation, and the apostles blocked the Elante army. But the situation was over, and the war situation was losing. We could not stop the attack of the Elante army at all. I had to retreat early to avoid being seriously injured.  We were made prisoners, and General Blair died heroically on the battlefield. Our Shenmu City battle failed. The towns and cities in Senvi were too sparse to fight against the Elant army. The entire Senvi mountainous area had fallen under the attack of Elant. We went here.  .¡±

    Having said this, Boumishio said to Duke Brant with a look of sorrow and anger: "Your Majesty, it can be said that the biggest culprit for losing the battle of Shenmu City is Baron Samtra. If he hadn't left first, then the outcome would have really been different.  maybe!"

    "Samtra!"

    Duke Brant stood up with a solemn expression, gritted his teeth and clapped his hands angrily.

    Kefla coughed twice and said in a low voice: "Baron Samtra is a descendant of the Duke of Nanluo, who is at the gateway to the northeastern border of the Kingdom of Dambres. The Duke should be careful!"

    "Well!" A trace of scruple flashed in Duke Brant's eyes, and he looked at Boumisio seriously and said, "Tell me what you think of these wars and what we need to pay attention to in the future."

    "Yes!" Listening to the peaceful voice and question, Bumi Xiu's eyes flashed with joy, and he said seriously: "Talk about it comprehensively, Yi Liuyun is proficient in tactics and strategies, and has a unique grasp of people's hearts and morale. He is a good person.  He is even more insidious and ruthless, with superb strategies."

    "Faced with such an opponent, we must send people with firm will and high abilities to defeat him with absolutely superior force, without giving him any chance to stand up."

    "Yes!" Duke Brandt nodded with understanding and said seriously: "I am going to mobilize the third and fourth legions of the western border defense army to cooperate with our vassal nobles in the southern continent to eliminate him tomorrow when the weather is warm.  .¡±

    "As for the number of you, I will punish you by facing the wall in the library for half a year and not being allowed to go out. Can you accept it?"

    "Impressed!"

    "Impressed!"

    ¡°Thank you, patriarch, for your kindness!¡±

    ¡­¡­

    Several people bowed their heads in thanks and left.

    Looking at the backs of everyone, Duke Brant looked towards the south and murmured: "Yi Liuyun! I will never look down on you again. You won't be able to jump around next year. Cherish this little time now."  Bar!"
