Chapter 50 After the war

".........Fighting to the end, even the sacred knights with the fighting will as strong as a rock finally collapsed. In order to escape the green-skinned blades and massacres, many people jumped into the lake to escape, but for those who had been exhausted after fighting for a long time, they could escape the ruthless weapon of green-skinned, but they could not escape the even more ruthless cold lake water. Those who could not swim were dragged directly into the bottom of the water, and those who could swim quickly lost their body temperature because of the cold. The cruel goblins dragged the raft, and then practiced shooting with bows and arrows on the raft, shooting one person who had been tortured by the cold and could not move on the lake... The entire lake was dyed red with blood..."

"...When night fell, the blood flag boss and his beasts shouted victoriously towards the night sky, the corpses of human soldiers had already covered the entire battlefield. Oren City, Tulan and Shem joined forces, and an army with a total strength of up to 70,000 no longer exists..."

The Queen Mother's hand shook, and the book of ominous news fell to the ground, making a dull sound. She took a step back and her legs could no longer support her body. If it weren't for a maid holding her in time, she would have fallen to the ground.

It's over! It's really over now! She knows that the situation will be worse than anyone expected. Why did she believe that Kemo? That damn Saint Knight Commander? Why?

There is no other choice. In order not to let Sham's territory be ravaged by Greenskin, there is only one who can summon troops from all over the country. Although this will inevitably lead to various unpredictable consequences, and it is impossible to determine whether Greenskin will give her this time...

"Your Highness, I think we must retreat." It took a long time for her to regain a little thinking ability, and happened to hear a close minister give her this suggestion.

"The green-skinned army may come over at any time, and there are too few people here!" The other party further reminded. "It will be no longer safe after dawn, and we must prepare to retreat immediately."

Indeed, the total number of available troops around the Queen Mother was less than a few hundred, which was actually a escort force to protect her personal safety.

"Retreat, prepare to retreat immediately!" The sharp scream of the Queen Mother's woman sounded. Several ideas to solve the problem flashed in her heart, but each of them had to pay a huge price. This is true for her, and her kingdom. Can she draw garrisons from all over the country? Will countries send troops to support her? In theory, there is no problem, but it must be a huge price. She can even believe that by the time she returns to the royal city, at least three messengers - other countries or messengers of independent lords - are already on standby.

Every messenger would use a humble attitude to hide his inner ecstasy and propose to her to take the initiative to borrow troops to help Sham through the crisis. Chopping a "small" territory is the price of borrowing troops. If she believes that a piece of territory can satisfy the appetite of those hungry wolves, then she would be really stupid.

Anyone can guess the following methods. They can use a hundred ways to further blackmail, and Sham becomes the stupid donkey who takes the first step for the carrot on the stick. In order to prevent his previous efforts from being wasted, he must take one step after another. Among the seven kingdoms, Sham's national strength is considered medium. When the green-skinned storm subsides, Sham may be the weakest one and may even lose his independence.

Millions of thoughts turned into sparks and flashed through her heart. But even if she knew everything, what's the use? She no longer had any mobile troops, and Green Skin would rag on her country, turning every city and village passing by into ruins. No ruler could ignore such a threat. The worst thing is, Green Skin would point the enemy's front towards the royal city...

"Your Highness, it's dawn." Someone reminded me. "Please move first, we need to organize our tents..."

Even wearing the veil of the vain, everyone can still notice the pale face and mechanical numb eyes of the Queen Mother. In the face of this blow, even the Queen Mother, who is known for her calmness and wrists, has lost her normalcy.

When the early winter sun had just emerged, the camp was ready to retreat. All luggage and items were placed on carriages and pack horses. Things that could not be taken away were immediately burned.

A cavalry galloped from the rear, and the sudden sound of horse hooves hit people's eardrums. Several guards rode on horseback to greet them. The uninvited guest stopped the war horses that were steaming all over his body and said a few simple words to the guards, so the guards immediately took him to the Queen Mother.

Along the way, the Queen Mother recognized that it was a Tulan cavalry. This was mainly because the messenger's armor was completely clean and clean, so it was easy to distinguish - to be honest, this look did not look like the kind of warrior who had just experienced fierce battles.

The cavalry knelt on one knee in front of the Queen Mother, and he brought news that he would say whether it was good or bad. While the main force of the coalition was destroyed, the Tulan people were lucky enough to retreat in time. The commander of the Tulan people, the fat man Maide, was defeated by Green Skin by "after trying all the ways and trying". Although Maide "repeatedly" to save the surrounded coalition, he was short of troops and was powerless, so he was forced to retreat. Now, the army retained by Maide is not far from this place, holding a small number of defeated soldiers who fled from the battlefield, while waiting for the further instructions of the Queen Mother.

As long as you are a smart person, you know that you must not believe this! Med must have seen that the situation is not good. After measuring the pros and cons, he tried it a little, and might even just have a meaning and then evacuated the battlefield. Kemo chose this cunning and selfish guy as the reserve team and was completely out of sight!

But the Queen Mother knew very well that this was not the time to settle the accounts. After all, the Tulan people were the only troops that remained in this great defeat, and it was also the only troops she could control at the moment. There was no doubt that after Greenskin celebrated their victory and did everything they had to do here, they would divide their troops to attack and sweep all nearby towns and villages. At that time, the Tulan people's cavalry would be the only troops that could deal with Greenskin here. She comforted the messenger as much as possible, and then asked the messenger to lead the way and prepare to join the Tulan army.

A guard suddenly appeared and blocked the Queen Mother and the messenger with an inconsistent action.

"Your Highness!" The expression on the guard's face clearly showed something incredible - but the Queen Mother felt that even if the world was doomed immediately, her nerves were completely numb.

She made a gesture, and a servant immediately took the Turanian messenger away. After the messenger left, she turned her face to the guard who seemed unnatural. "What's the matter?"

"General Eric is back, he is waiting for your reception."

"Eric? He is dead...I remember..." She didn't say the second half of the sentence, because most of Eric's death was on her - even she could not deny this.

"He is back, he is back from Green Skin! And he brought a letter from Green Skin to His Highness!"

This news is indeed even more incredible than the end of the world in the next minute. Even the Queen Mother was shocked.

"Call him here!" It took a while for the Queen Mother to come back to her senses and immediately ordered this.

A few minutes later, the incredible thing became a fact before her. Accompanied by a sour smell, Eric was dressed in a torn manner and appeared in front of the Queen Mother. Seeing all this, the Queen Mother even forgot the stench on the other person.

"General Eric?" she cried out.

"Your Highness." Seeing the Queen Mother, Eric's face twitched. His beard and hair were long during this period, even covering his mouth, so his expression was difficult to tell. "I'm back."

"You..." The Queen Mother wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Your Highness, I was captured by Green Skin, and became a big leader of Green Skin, a prisoner of the Blood Flag Boss. But he did not kill me, but asked me to be a messenger." Eric took out a letter from his body and handed it on both hands. "This is a letter written by the Blood Flag Boss. He spared my life and asked me to bring this letter... However, His Highness Iberlandon should have brought you one."

"Ibolandon? He's still alive?"

"He has been a prisoner with me for a few days..." Eric instantly realized something unexpected from the Queen Mother's expression and voice. "Has he not come back?"

"No!" the Queen Mother replied, and at the same time took the letter from Eric.

Did you encounter an accident in the middle of the chaos? Of course, it is more likely that someone took the opportunity... Eric hid the doubts in his heart at this moment. Due to the veil, he could not see the expression of the Queen Mother, and could not be sure whether the other party was disguised or was really surprised - if I Bolandon had ever come back, she should not be so surprised.

The letter was written by the boss of the Blood Flag. If it weren't for witnessing it with his own eyes, no one would have imagined that the boss of the green skin would actually write a letter in human words. This letter was not particularly long, but the Queen Mother read it repeatedly many times. It can even be said that he was thinking about it slowly one word at a time.

"Is this true? Eric Qing's family?" The Queen Mother finally finished reading the letter. Eric could clearly see her breath.

"It's really hard to believe...but..." Eric looked around but didn't say anything.

"There are people who can be trusted here. The Qing family just said that there is no need to worry about being spread."

"I don't believe that the blood flag boss is green-skinned!" Eric finally replied. He briefly described his discoveries in his life as a prisoner, especially those special things - such as reading, getting a map, etc.

"It's not green skin, is it a human?" The Queen Mother Wang glanced at the letter in her hand again. All this was unbelievable! It was really unimaginable! The Blood Flag boss played human language, read human words, and used human military maps... From this point of view... But why did he want to be in trouble with Oren City?

"Your Highness, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and finally I think that the boss of the Blood Flag should be a vampire disguised! Only this answer can explain all the questions."

Vampire! Everyone couldn't help but breathe a breath. Indeed, if the Blood Flag Boss was a vampire who survived the Battle of Kalean (there is no doubt that surviving would definitely be a particularly powerful, cunning, and fierce vampire), he was indeed obsessed with Oren City, and even pretended to be green skin and used the military power of green skin... all this had a reasonable explanation.

However, these guesses are just guesses and cannot change the facts. The Queen Mother Wang looked at the letter in her hand and measured the blood flag boss's request in her heart. She quickly made a decision. In fact, this was a choice with no choice.
