A cliff, a stream, a plain and a grassland···

Thousands of troops crossed a long distance. Ten days later, in a plain, the troops were repairing in place.

"Your Highness, the detective horse we sent has returned!" nadir said next to ADIS.

"The enemy was about 5000 people, of which the number of Knights was unknown. Many civilian men were recruited in the rear to transport food."

"The leader of the team is the Earl of ATTS of the Principality of Barlow. I heard that he is a land knight."

Seeing nadir say so, ADIS nodded and gave a look to the person next to him.

Next to him, the man understood, and then a rough map appeared in the eyes of everyone.

This is a map made of parchment. It looks very simple. It simply marks some areas near Cecil and its surrounding city states.

Although compared with the maps of previous generations, it is still a little simple, but the region is clear. It not only marks the general terrain around, but also clearly describes the routes and roads between the city states. It is very rare in this era.

Seeing this, nadir was surprised: "is this?"

"Some maps near Cecil and even the whole northern region."

A voice sounded from his side. Nadir looked sideways, but it was Carter.

At this time, Carter was wearing a shining armor with divine power fluctuation. He looked at the map in front of him and sighed: "this map was made several years ago under the painstaking exploration of many believers and priests."

"For this, I don't know how many devout believers died in the wild for several years."

In this era when the wild is full of all kinds of dangers, it is extremely dangerous to explore outside, let alone ordinary people. Even if the priest is unlucky, he needs to pay a price when surrounded by Warcraft. Therefore, the cost of exploring such a map is unimaginable.

Seeing this map, Adidas couldn't help sighing. In the dark, a cause and effect seemed to be deeper and deeper.

At this time, Carter stepped forward, looked at the map and slowly explained: "there are several routes from Barlow to Cecil, but according to their route, he chose the fastest one."

"Judging from the route and our marching speed, they can approach our current position in half a month at most."

Hearing this, ADIS bowed his head slightly: "well, choose a suitable place nearby as the battlefield. We are waiting for them here."

Seeing this, Carter nodded slightly and pointed to a place on the map: "in a place half a day away from us, we are on the other party's necessary road. You can choose to build a camp here."

On the other side, on a plain, a group of troops that looked a little messy gradually moved forward. In the front, a tall middle-aged man looked at the strong sunshine in the sky and frowned.

"Elvin, go down and tell your lords to rest!" he said with a steady tone.

Hearing what he said, beside him, a handsome young man went down to preach.

Soon, as the command spread, more than a dozen queues in the team stopped successively and gradually stopped under the command.

If Yates is here, we can find that among these thousands of people, they are actually divided into many armies from different sources. Scattered air transport is gathered into the largest air transport in the central government in a loose way, barely forming a little red air.

This red gas is huge, but loose, not completely condensed, so the military gas formed is very weak.

This is because the source of the army is complex. In this world, the structure of the city-state is very loose. Every time an army is sent out, it is called out by the highest royal family and the following lords together. Therefore, not only the quality of the army is uneven, but also it is often difficult to condense.

"Lord Yates, what are you thinking?" a voice sounded.

Yates was stunned: "have all the orders been conveyed?"

"It has been communicated. At present, all lords are leading their soldiers to rest."

"Hmm!" Yates nodded softly, then looked into the distance and didn't speak.

"Sir, what's the matter?" Elvin looked at Yates with a worried face and asked suspiciously.

Seeing that he asked, Yates sighed helplessly, "our enemy this time is hard to deal with!"

"How?" Elvin wondered.

"This time, at the king's call, the Lords responded unprecedentedly, and even gathered to more than 5000 people."

"With you leading us, even the previously intact Cecil city can attack directly, not to mention that the opposite side is in civil strife, and may not be able to gather the strength of his knights to fight us in time."

However, hearing him say so, Yates smiled bitterly: "the power to decide the victory or defeat is not only the knight."

Before the other side retorted, he said, "Elvin, have you heard of the sacrifice of the God of nature?"

"The God of nature?" Elvin wondered. "It seems to be a god spread from the north a few years ago."

"Their sacrifice is very famous in the principality. It is said that they have the power of gods and are the best doctors."

However, speaking of this, he said with some disdain: "but if they are in front battle, although they are not weak, they can't defeat any knight. The number is rare and can't affect anything at all."

On the other side, however, Arthas shook his head and said, "you are wrong. What you see is just a corner of the sacrifice."

"According to the information I got from the caravans, there are several kinds of sacrifices in the north. What you see is just the lowest white robed sacrifice."

"Above the white robe sacrifice, there is the red robe sacrifice, which is equivalent to the great knight; the yellow robe sacrifice, which is equivalent to the earth knight, and the highest high priest, which is equivalent to the strong man of the sky knight."

"According to the information disclosed by the people who came to ask for help this time, there was a figure of yellow robed sacrifice in this rebellion in Cecil."

Hearing this, Elvin's face turned white and a bad feeling rose in his heart: "no?"

Seeing him like this, Yates smiled: "why? Now you know you're afraid?"

He stood up and patted Elvin on the shoulder: "there's no need to think too much. Even with the intervention of sacrifice, the situation still occupies an advantage for us."

"According to the information we got, two months ago, the devil tide broke out near Cecil. With the strength of Cecil City, no matter what the result, it must have suffered heavy losses. Not to mention the civil strife later, the rebels counter attacked Cecil city and surrounded the palace. There must be no loss."

"Since we received the news, we immediately enlisted troops to Cecil. In less than a month, it must be that at this time, the other party may not have broken through the palace, let alone enlisted troops to fight."

"Therefore, in the face of our five thousand people, even with the assistance of sacrifice, we will be defeated. It is nothing more than the difference of time."

He smiled and explained to Elvin, who was a little confused in front of him.

However, after listening to his explanation, Elvin seemed more confused: "in that case, why are you so worried?"

"I'm not worried about Cecil, but about the present..." said Yates.

"Do you really think these lords responded so quickly by responding to the king's call?" he looked at the clear-cut troops behind him and said with a sneer.

"Do you remember five years ago, when the last king was besieged by Warcraft in the wild, few lords responded to the rescue, making the old king die in the wild."

"This time, these lords responded so positively, not because of the king's call, but because Cecil rebelled and had interests."

"Cecil rebelled, the rebels besieged the palace, and their strength was unprecedentedly weak. Those villages and towns in the wild were completely defenseless. It was easy to loot at this time."

He looked at Elvin in front of him and said coldly, "these lords are more afraid of the ancestral God than loyal to the king. Otherwise, they must have rebelled."

In front of him, Elvin bowed his head in silence, and then said, "in that case, why doesn't your highness ask the ancestor to subdue them?"

"As long as the ancestral God comes forward, these Lords will not dare to disobey!"

"It's not that simple." Yates shook his head.

"Strictly speaking, these lords are actually descendants of the ancestral gods, and their annual sacrifices are no less than those of the royal family."

"In the final analysis, the ancestor god doesn't care who is the king, as long as it is his blood and the annual sacrifice is held as usual."

At this point, Elvin didn't speak any more. Yates looked at the direction of Cecil in the distance alone, and his thoughts drifted slowly in his heart.

"Moreover, this time, it may not be as smooth as expected." feeling a hunch in his heart, he thought.
