Section 267 Deputy General

In fact, Berel had already understood what happened during that period. To put it bluntly, it was Chaos' old trick, but it was a tried-and-true trick. A high-level Chaos messenger tried every means (it was said to rely on the beauty trick) to get to Rafa and used evil magic to influence and control the minds of a small group of people, including Rafa. To be honest, Rafa's life was controlled by Chaos' hands during that period. Rafa could survive because the Chaos messenger's goal was not to take his life, but to use him to control the entire northern legion of Groni.

Under the control of evil magic, Rafa's mind was constantly changing between normal, madness and ignorance. He did many contradictory idiotic things and lost the great opportunity to expand his influence in vain (at that time, the little queen and Byron broke up and finally talked about the war), which greatly weakened his political influence and even suffered great damage to his body. After the church finally realized and drove away the messenger of Chaos, Rafa became what he is now. According to Parry, Rafa had been sent to a safe rear castle far away from the frontline for recuperation. Although the priests of the church repeatedly guaranteed that Rafa's life was safe, they were not sure when he could recover.

The final result is that now, Rafa cannot be the director, and Parry temporarily takes over his father's position. Faced with the major threat of the invasion of the Chaos Legion, the final result can only be to give up the semi-independent warlord status and bow to the Eagle City.

Pari was a little complaining and regretful when he spoke. This was normal. He once had the hope of winning the throne and was considered one of the most promising young people in the country, but now he fell from a high position and became an ordinary general.

"How is the situation in the city of Niustria? What is the situation on the front line?" Berel finally patiently finished listening to the other party's words and changed the topic.

"There is no good here in Newestria City, but the other side of Gaohua City... seems not very good. Chaos' offensive is very strong, maybe they can't hold on for long."

"Oh, it seems they had already shouted like this half a month ago." Berel was a little dissatisfied. Every surrounded castle would eagerly ask for reinforcements, and this eagerness often led them to pass the wrong information to the rear.

"The Chaos' offensive is very fierce..."

Robin next to him secretly asked Beller. "I remember the last time it was the Lei or Sa City. Didn't it block Chaos for a whole year? Gao Hua City's defense ability should not be inferior."

"This is not certain. It depends not only on the strength of both sides and fortifications, but also on the ability of the commander and the morale of the army." Berel replied. "This time the terror lord seems very fierce. The words of a terror lord as a commander... I think it is a big test for the defending city."

"That's right." Parry heard the conversation between them. "For example, the army under the command of the terror lord will be very morale, but the combat method is very single. The army under the command of the terror lord will be very cunning, but the frontal attack ability will be weakened. The troops under the command of the terror lord will have excellent mobility, and the army under the command of the terror nalgre is very good at defensive operations..."

"It's a bit strange to say. It's probably because everyone has different characteristics. Why do different evil god believers show different types of characteristics?"

"Robin, don't you know that this is why the evil god of Chaos is called the 'evil god'?" Beller asked Robin in surprise.

"Sorry, General, but I really don't know..." Robin explained. The last time Belar was fighting with the Evil God Legion, Robin was not with Belar because he had something else, so he was not really clear about the Evil God.

"The reason why the evil god of Chaos is an evil god is a very important point. That is, their believers cannot truly maintain independent ideas. For example, a believer who worships terror, no matter what his original intention is, at the end, his thoughts will inevitably be affected by terror and become a bloodthirsty fighter. Similarly, other evil gods are the same. Legend has it that some people throw themselves into Nurg's arms to cure diseases, but in the end the noble brave man becomes a villain who tirelessly spreads disease." Berel said. "So, those believers of evil gods, especially high-level champion wizards, lords, etc. are almost all extensions of their master's thoughts. The terror must be cruel and bloodthirsty, and the Tsengchi must be sinister and cunning... Do you understand?"

Robin finally understood.

"Is the situation in Gaohua City really that bad?" Beller turned to face Parry. "The defenders in the city... I heard about it in Eagle Falcon City. Due to the previous military allocation, the defenders in Gaohua City are nearly half more than normal. With so much extra combat power, even if the terror lord comes to attack the city, he should not be at a disadvantage."

"The Chaos's troops are very powerful..." Paro replied. "The Evil God Generals mercilessly sprinkled their subordinates' blood under the city wall, regardless of casualties. According to the frontline battle report, there have been no less than 5,000 Chaos warriors killed in the past period of time, and even tens of thousands, but the evil god believers still attacked fiercely, and the offensive did not weaken at all. In addition, there seemed to be many skilled craftsmen in their team. Although the siege weapons were destroyed in large quantities during the battle, new ones were continuously created and put into battle. The morale in the city was already quite low."

"They are constantly receiving reinforcements from the rear?" Beller remembered the words in military information. Because of this, the Chaos Legion didn't care about casualties at all.

"It seems like that." Parry admitted.

"How many Chaos Forces are there in the besieged city now?"

"Fifty thousand to seventy thousand..."

Beller muttered softly, "It's hard to deal with this..." His voice was very soft, only Robin noticed it.

Something seemed to have happened to the army ahead, and a little chaos appeared. Parry rushed over to check what happened, and Robin immediately asked Beller. "General, what did you think of?"

"Robin, do you still remember that according to our calculations, the coalition forces can reach 100,000 troops together?"

"Yes, I know. You said this. You also said at that time that we finally have an advantageous force."

"Now it's gone. The total strength of the Chaos Legion will not be less than 100,000, or even a little more." Berel replied. "It's hard to fight."

"Why? Didn't he clearly say 50,000 to 70,000 just now?"

"You forgot, I told you just now that the troops under the city are not all Chaos. At least the main forces of Tsengchi and Nurg have not arrived yet."

As soon as Beller reminded, Robin immediately remembered the previous words.

"So, now it has become a dilemma..." Berel said. "If the army is immediately launched to rescue, then the enemy is not tired yet, and this battle will not be exhausted with sharp attacks, and there will be no favorable advantage. If you wait patiently, the enemy's military strength will be further strengthened and it will be more troublesome." He suddenly smiled, "Fortunately, I am not a general, so I will throw this problem to Asu Ruffat to solve. We only need to do our own things well."

Parry ran back from the front.

"Sir Beral, there seems to be something wrong."

A few minutes later, Beller arrived at the birthplace of the commotion. On the side of the road, there were two corpses. Judging from the clothes of the deceased, it should be Groney's soldiers.

There were no obvious scars on the body of the deceased, and there was no blood around him, which means that the deceased did not die under the sword. However, their bodies showed a sick green, which was bulging like a drowning person. Green liquid flowed out from several cracks on the skin of the corpse.

"What's going on?"

"It should be a deserter." Parry pondered for a moment and made a judgment. The two soldiers did not look like scouts, but they left the barracks, so there was only one answer. Speaking of which, after knowing that their enemy was the Chaos Legion, many new recruits were full of fear of future battles. There were not many deserters, but not many.

"The corpse is still fresh." Berel said softly. On this main avenue, the patrol troops pass by at least once a day. Such a conspicuous corpse cannot be ignored, which means that the deceased will not die for more than one day at most. In addition, the skin of the corpse is still elastic - this is also an auxiliary example.

"But this...the degree of rot..." Robin said softly. The deceased's body was swelling very hard, and his skin became a little translucent. You could see something seemed to be swimming under the skin, or drilling around. Well, at least Robin didn't want to investigate this carefully.

"No one touched the body just now, right?" Berel asked loudly. "If there is, tell me quickly!"

"General, I poked it with my spear." A soldier reported loudly.

"Light a ball of fire and put your spear in it until it's red hot!" Berel ordered. "This is not an ordinary corpse, this is... the evil spell of the Nurgle Wizard!"

This sentence caused a stir among the soldiers. Some soldiers who were very curious just now immediately retreated to the back for a distance.

"Don't try to collect the corpses, don't try to touch them! It's better to stay away from this thing. Pour oil on me and light a fire. This kind of evil magic can only be purified by fire!" Berel shouted. "Even after the fire is burned, it's better to stay away from here!"

Parry took the initiative to take the order and began to ask the soldiers to take measures. Fortunately, oil is a must-have for the army (to make torches for the night), so it is not difficult to collect it. Belarel, Robin and others were as far away from the body as possible and looked at it from afar. Robin noticed that Belarel's eyes were a little different when he was staring at Parry - he was sighing slightly and shaking his head.

"General, what's wrong with you?" Robin asked softly.

"I'm just sighing for some unfair phenomena." Berel replied. "Look, this Pari doesn't even understand Nurg's tricks... such basic things, but because he is Rafa's son, he was directly appointed as deputy general..." He shook his head and sighed again.

Although the "deputy general" is always slightly inferior to people's views, in fact, this army can be regarded as Groney's army, and being able to become the deputy general of this army means an extraordinary identity.
