Since Feich asked to keep all the things on the elves, the soldiers needed to put out all the fires before sorting the scene. They kept finding sand and water from nearby and supervising each other to carry out the work, and the order slowly recovered in cooperation. Feich did not join in. He floated in the air and used illusion to create the Hall family badges, causing it to emit brilliant light. The burning fire and rising smoke could not block it.
The chaos in the King's Army camp gradually stopped, and at least the chaotic battles between each other stopped. The losses this time were very terrible. Only 20% of the healthy and did not leave the camp, plus 20% to 30% of the wounded, the others either died or ran away.
The camp was in a mess, and a large amount of supplies were burned with the burning tents. Those who took advantage of the chaos to rob and flee to throw away the torches in order to eliminate the evidence. Feich noticed that some people who left on horseback were carrying bulging bags. These people were not necessarily soldiers at the bottom, and it was very likely that some of them would be nobles.
After this battle, the King's Army suffered heavy losses in personnel and materials, but more importantly, the failure of the core elite forces will affect the dominance of the Hall family, and the greatest responsibility - Feiqi believes - is on himself. The ultimate deterrence policy he proposed only considered both the Cultivate and the United Kingdom, and the forged letter that almost killed Bloomfield and the red dragon and the flame snake lizard that suddenly appeared on the battlefield, obviously they were not in either side of confrontation. Someone was fishing in troubled waters, and the extreme deterrence slipped into the inevitable war, and he was still naive to stop all this by "drawing the land into a prison".
"I want peace, but some people just want to raise the butcher knife." Feiqi clenched his fists and said to himself: "Since you cannot achieve peace before violence, then rebuild peace after violence."
Before this battle, the United Kingdom had a chance to achieve political goals through deterrence, but now this deterrence has disappeared. There are only two ways to re-establish deterrence: use violence or display violence. When I think of this, Feich shook his whole body, not because of tension, but because of excitement. Perhaps this is the sequelae of burning and flashing divine souls, or that the devil's bloodline begins to prevail, or just Feich reveals his nature as a human being.
He looked down and the situation in the camp was gradually under control. The scattered soldiers who could not find their own command gathered under the logo of the Hall family and actually started the division of labor and cooperation again. Feich saw that Marelis was coordinating the command, and also saw that Benedict was still using the image of "Bayer" male mercenary. Her loud voice played an important role at this time. Feich's view is that the biggest threat to the King's Army is the Thunder Army, and he wants to understand Bloomfield's idea.
So he summoned a ball of flame and flew to the Thunder Army with it. The reason for this was that everyone in the King's Army could see this scene, knowing that their commander-in-chief's son did not escape, but went to the front line with the Thunder Army. Feiqi did not expect to arouse much morale, but just hoped that the morale and morale would not collapse again.
He flew over on the flames, looking free and calm, but Bloomfield was not in this mood. He saw the end of the elves from afar. Feich killed dozens of elves like chopping melons and vegetables with his own strength, and now he flew towards the Thunder Army. Although it believed that the Paladin and the priests were more combative than the elves, is it a good idea to fight? And there is another key question: Where is the helper invited by the Archbishop, the woman with divinity?
A drop of cold sweat slid down from Bloomfield's forehead. He did not forget Fitch's expression and words when he was blocked by the golden circle. To be precise, the Thunder Army side did not treat Fitch like the nobles who kept their promises. This seriously hit Fitch's pride. Pride will not die if it is hit, but the upcoming rebound is possible. Bloomfield made a quick decision and immediately issued an order: "The whole army will withdraw! Return to the camp to rest and recuperate! The guards stay!"
"Sir..." Some people tried to persuade, but Bloomfield had known what they would say, such as "It is related to the majesty of the church", "It cannot encourage the enemy's arrogance" or "Sir, you cannot admit defeat". He did not give these people a chance to speak at all, and shouted angrily: "Execute the order! Those who violate the order will go to the Sacred Heart to reflect on themselves!"
So, before Feich landed, most of the Thunder Army had already begun to retreat, leaving only Bloomfield and his more than a dozen Paladin guards. When Feich landed on the ground, Bloomfield also got off the horse and came to Feich.
"I said someone was secretly conspiring." Feich was completely unpolite and went straight to the point of Bloomfield: "I showed sincerity and hoped that both sides would not be provoked by third parties, and you, as the general on the front, agreed with this. Then, when the third party set up an ambush, raided and besieged my father, the church blocked me and cooperated with the conspiracy of those people very well. In this regard, do you have anything to say except for not knowing the ambush and the need to obey the church's orders?"
"Earl Hall was ambushed? I don't know about this. How is he now?"
"He's not very good." Feiqi looked back at the King's Army camp, and then glanced over the Knight behind Bloomfield. "You didn't attack in the chaos, don't you want to take advantage of the situation?"
"The order I received was to beware of the counterattacks that the Thunder Army might launch after detaining you. For this reason, I chose to use the magical advantage of the Paladin cavalry to resist step by step, thereby delaying the attack. Attacking the King's Army camp has never been my option. This matter is ultimately to be resolved in a negotiated manner, and catching you is just to have more bargaining chips."
"The chips ran out by themselves, Donde Mipp had a mess." Feige snorted: "Bloomfield, please help me with a message after you go back. I have no evidence yet to fully connect the imprisonment and the ambushing of my father. In addition, I have received a lot of favors from the goddess, so I have not directly gone to the Holy Trinity Castle to slaughter him!"
"Feich, you!"
"Although the warriors are never tired of deceit, the church of Goddess of Truth will never be with the evil red dragon and the vicious flame snake lizard. Both creatures are on the list of monster hunters. This has been done from ancient times to the present. I know much more than you! He Tang De really did this, so what if I kill him?"
"If you take it back in this way, it will only increase tension. Since someone is secretly..."
Fitch waved his hand and said, "Bloomfield, look for the reasons from yourself, don't always stare at others. I just reflected on it that this strategy of using military preparation to put pressure on the Archbishop is problematic, and the responsibility is on me. My mistakes should be made up for. I cannot let my brother lose the territory he has been managing. In fact, there is a very simple solution to this matter: From now on, any army that enters the United Kingdom, including the Lighthouse Territory, without permission, will kill them with my own hands as long as I do not surrender."
Bloomfield frowned, and he felt that Feich seemed to have become a different person. Before, they were barbecuing together, and the two of them could talk about a lot of things. What came to Feich's mind was all a bit of fantasy, but now it seems that except for "kill", everything else was gone. This cold attitude is not good for the church and for everyone in the world.
"Feich, calm down. What happened tonight is a bit strange. Before we arrived, the Kings had already bombed the camp." Bloomfield said: "It is obvious that there are problems within the Kings..."
"I have wiped out all the elves, you can see clearly. When I find that when reasoning doesn't make sense, I should use the most direct solution." Feiqi responded: "The only thing I am confused about now is how close the elves of Minas Ishir are to the church, and they can cooperate so perfectly."
Bloomfield shook his head and immediately said, "The elves are not our people. The inside of the Holy Trinity Castle is very indignant about the Minas Ishir elves joining the King's Army. It can even be said that the elves are the common enemy of both sides. I will investigate this matter myself when I go back and must dig out all the enemies hidden in the dark."
Bloomfield has always believed that a war with the King's Army was not in line with the interests of the Lord's Army, and would seriously affect or even block the progress of the church's reconstruction work. Therefore, he has always adhered to the plan of "showing attitude but not attacking, fighting for chips and negotiating a resolution". All this happened today also ruined his vision. Next, how to avoid a full-scale war between the Lord's Army and the United Kingdom has become the most important thing, and the elves seem to be an object that both sides hate. Bloomfield defined the elves as an enemy, and also wanted to cushion the hostile relationship between the two sides. After all, both sides with common enemies have a common language.
"You deny it so quickly, but I feel that there are more tricks in it." Feiqi took a deep breath and said, "The chat time has passed. Let's leave from the lighthouse now. You can leave alive because you did not attack the King's Army in the chaos. If you step in again next time, I will not be polite, and I will kill you and go to the Holy Trinity Castle to ask your Archbishop."
"Feich, don't be provoked, don't forget the enemy in the dark."
"Please take care of yourself. Regardless of whether there is any provocation or not, as long as you eliminate all the hostile ones, it will be a victory." Feiqi knocked on the ground with a few times and teleported back to the camp.
Bloomfield felt a little blocked in his chest, unable to say a lot, and was full of anger and didn't know who to send it to. But he didn't dare to stop for too long. While Fitch hadn't changed his mind yet, he quickly took the Paladins around him away.
Bloomfield is not sure what to do next, but first of all, we must ensure that the Thunder Army has no problems, especially not being attacked by enemies hidden in the dark. Now, there is no question of whether there is an enemy in the dark. The only thing to ask is who those guys are and what they want to achieve. The only thing that is still worthy of gratitude is that the Thunder Army is intact and has not taken advantage of the situation, so it did not cause Feiqi's counterattack.
Thinking of this, Bloomfield was also scared. The tragic situation of the elves is still vivid in his mind and will become a worry in his heart for a period of time. Obviously, how to deal with Fitch will become a matter that everyone in the church has to worry about - and Fitch originally had a relationship with the saints of the church, so he should be a firm comrade in his army.
What turned a comrade into an opponent, or even almost turned into an endless enemy? Bloomfield was shocked and felt that there was a big problem with it. He raised his head and did not turn his eyes to the King's Army camp for the first time, but looked in the direction of the Holy Trinity Castle.
The Thunder Army all left, and Feiqi was cheered by the Kings soldiers because of this. In the hearts of many ordinary soldiers, victory is certainly gratifying, not dying is the top priority. The Thunder Army left at least one possible confrontation, so everyone had time to lick their wounds. "What are we going to do next?" Everyone gathered and asked.
"Extinguish all the fires, rescue all the things that can be rescued, and then go to the arrow tower to defend, and wait for me to bring the count back."
"The Count is still alive?" Everyone said angrily: "The King's Army has not failed, right?"
"Who said the Count is dead?" Feiqi asked immediately, but everyone stammered and couldn't tell the reason.
"We just think that although it is a good thing for you to come back to take over the command, it is obvious that this will only happen if something happened to the count. And the camp is so messy that the count did not come back. It is obvious that something happened..."
Such remarks cannot fool Fitch. After destroying the elves, the fighting spirit of the Son of Man and the Demon of Desire was satisfied. The intelligence of the heart-turning demons often used to organize conspiracies and the rapid reaction of the magicians reoccupies the high ground of their minds. He thought that in the King's Army camp, except for the person who used teleportation techniques, no one knew that the elite troops brought by the count were ambushed, and it was even more impossible to know the situation of the battle there. Therefore, the words "the count is dead" are very problematic.
"Come here," Feiqi hooked his hand and called the soldier who was stained and nervous, increasingly nervous. "Can you remember who heard the rumors of my father's death from?"
"Uh... Sir, I was wrong, I can't remember..."
"No, don't worry, you can recall slowly." Feiqi stretched out his left hand, gently placed it on his forehead, and whispered in the temptation of the demon of the heart-turning demon: "Concentrate, recall, and try hard to recall, what was the situation at that time. That memory is in your heart, and it is not yet time for it to become blurred, you can come back..."
It is definitely not enough to simply use whispers of the soul. Feiqi also needs to stabilize the other party's emotions and strengthen his memory. In this case, the soul abilities of the advanced devil must be used. Higher devils can play with people's mental emotions, and the heart-turning demon is the strongest among them. Since they can be played with, there is a way to strengthen it. This is just the same method and different starting points.
"Yes...I was cleaning the tent and heard what the person beside me said. The man had a goatee, yes..." The soldier looked around the crowd, then pointed to several people and said, "It's him, and he and him."
Feiqi put down his left hand, took out a few gold coins from the space bag and handed them to him, and asked him to rest. He waved his hand, called the three people who had just been pointed out, and said with a smile: "The same question is still the same, where did you hear the news that something happened to my father."
Feiqi did the devil's whispers and the strengthening of the soul, and followed the clues. Regardless of whether he could recall it himself, only by using the ability of the heart-turning demon to review it can Feiqi determine its authenticity. Those who spread rumors never thought that anyone could pursue it like this. The so-called things he had done would inevitably leave traces. Feiqi found the source without long.
