Warcraft Eternal Tree - Chapter 580
c580 Thoughts of the Holy Emperor
Yu Fei was stunned. What did the commander of the Eighth Route Army mean? Why did he ask me what to do? I was just the head of the Mage Corps, and now I was left alone.
When he saw the respectful look in Paramount’s eyes, he realized that it was his powerful strength that convinced the corps commander. But Yu Fei didn’t need to seize this little power. He couldn’t keep a low profile now.
“Uh, Lord Paramount, I’m just a magician and don’t understand military affairs. What we should do next is up to you, the orthodox corps commander.” Yu Fei looked very humble.
Paramount was a little panicked. “Don’t call me Lord. How can I deserve your name? But since the Lord Mage has spoken, I will go to arrange military affairs.”
To be honest, Paramount, who climbed up from the bottom as a soldier, never appeared in such a servile manner. Not to mention that Yu Fei was just an earl, even in front of the Duke of the Holy Lion Empire, Paramount, as the commander of the legion, was very confident.
But the shock that Yu Fei brought to him was too great, and no one could understand Paramount’s feeling of being saved from despair. Therefore, under the dual effects of strength and kindness, this grassroots legion commander who was known for not fearing the powerful in the empire appeared so humble.
However, since Yu Fei had said that he would not interfere with his handling of the next matter, Paramount would naturally not do the same as Liu Bei, who had to visit Zhuge Liang three times and insisted on asking him to come out. After all, Zhuge Liang was a great talent in Liu Bei’s heart, and although Paramount respected Yu Fei, he did not think that this powerful magician would arrange military affairs.
Under Yu Fei’s attention, Paramount began to clean up the battlefield in an orderly manner. First, he pulled the human soldiers out of their excitement, and then commanded the soldiers who still had the strength to get rid of the remaining orcs as soon as possible.
Of course, the solution here does not mean killing them. It would be a waste to kill those orcs who have no resistance at all. Paramount’s arrangement is to capture all the surviving orcs and present them to the Holy Emperor later.
The scene on the battlefield was really tragic. The treemen summoned by Yu Fei attacked with great force. Most of the orcs killed by the treemen were left with only a pile of meat paste. Such meat paste obviously does not need to be processed, even beef paste.
Moreover, the weapons of the orcs are not as good as those of humans, which is also an aspect that the human side can occupy a little. Therefore, there is no need to collect the weapons of the orcs, which makes it much easier for the human side to clean up the battlefield.
After a little observation, Yu Fei was not interested in this kind of thing. He simply flew back to the city of Xirik, where many buildings were destroyed in the Blade Storm, and waited for Paramount to come to him after cleaning up the battlefield.
The battle lasted only about an hour, but it took an afternoon to clean up the battlefield. The main reason was that it was difficult to find Baoze’s body in a pile of meat sauce, which wasted a lot of time for human soldiers.
After the situation outside Xirik City was completely calm, Paramount appeared in front of Yu Fei again.
“Your Excellency the Grand Mage, the battlefield has been cleaned up. What we have to do next is just to pass on the battle situation in Xirik City, and then stay here and wait for the next instructions from the Empire.” Paramount bowed his head in front of Yu Fei and said so.
“Well, it’s good, so be it.” Yu Fei didn’t know what to say, so he just laughed. However, after he said this, Paramount didn’t leave, but continued to stand in front of him.
“Anything else?” Yu Fei was a little confused. When he heard his question, Paramount looked embarrassed. “Your Excellency the Grand Mage, all the magicians in the army have died. If you want to pass on the battle situation to the Empire, I have to trouble you.” Obviously, Paramount himself felt that it was a bit embarrassing to let an epic Grand Mage do such a small thing.
However, Yu Fei didn’t care much and quickly agreed. Although he was not an orthodox Eslaze native magician, it was not difficult for him to transmit magic messages, which only required mental power.
Of course, Yu Fei was not good at writing war reports. In the end, Paramount dictated it and then Yu Fei passed it on. However, Yu Fei felt a little embarrassed when he heard Paramount’s praise for him in the report. The legion commander really praised him too much.
The Empire responded quickly. Within three hours of the message being transmitted back, a new order was issued. You know, it was already night, and Yu Fei didn’t expect that the military of the Holy Lion Empire was still working at night.
What Yu Fei didn’t know was that after the battle situation in Xirik City was transmitted, the shock caused was extremely huge. Even the Holy Emperor who had already gone to bed crawled out of the quilt and listened to the report on the battle in Xirik City.
The new magic message sent by the Holy Lion Empire to the Eighth Army and the New Fourth Army was that the two armies would be temporarily merged under the command of Paramount, and would stay in Xirik City to prevent subsequent orc invasions and await further support and orders from the Empire.
The commander of the New Fourth Army had been killed in the previous battle, so it was only natural for Paramount to temporarily take charge of the two legions. It is worth mentioning that Yu Fei had never even seen this noble officer who had just become the commander of the legion, but he noticed the officer suicide squad in the New Fourth Army, also known as the Big Knife Squad.
When the human army was defeated, in addition to some soldiers led by Paramount who rose up to resist, only this officer suicide squad chose to fight the orcs to the death. Even, unlike the soldiers led by Paramount, they took the initiative to fight to the death.
It’s a pity that the gun hits the first bird. Although those officers are not weak, they are not as strong as Paramount. They were almost dead before Yu Fei took action. The current New Fourth Army can really be said to be the newest unit, and there is almost no member of the original Fourth Army of the Holy Lion Empire.
Yu Fei quickly conveyed the order from the Holy Lion Empire to Paramount. How Paramount arranges military affairs is naturally not his concern. What he is thinking about now is how to hide his identity in the future.
What Yu Fei didn’t know was that the great victory of the humans in Xirik City was soon spread out.
The Holy Emperor was still very annoyed when he was woken up from his bed, but when he calmed down and listened to the battle report from Xirik City, his anger instantly turned into joy. Since the orcs showed their strong siege ability, the humans have been defeated step by step. This is the first time he has heard good news.
After knowing the cause and effect of the great victory in Xirik City, even the Holy Emperor was shocked. Based on Paramount’s language description alone, the Holy Emperor could imagine the grand scene brought by the advent of the tree world, which was a forbidden magic in Paramount’s eyes.
Even as the inheritor of the Holy Empire among humans, the Holy Emperor had never heard of magic like the advent of the tree world. Among those well-known forbidden spells, even the fire forbidden spells such as the earth fire burning the city could not kill hundreds of thousands of orcs.
Such a powerful great wizard, why haven’t I heard of him before? The Holy Emperor sighed in his heart.
No, isn’t the head of the Eighth Army’s Mage Corps the Earl of O’Brien whom he personally ordered? Isn’t the Earl who seems to be related to the Saint Childe family just a suspected legendary spiritual magician? How can he have such a powerful strength?
The Holy Emperor remembered that he had heard of Yu Fei’s name, but the name of Earl O’Brien was shrouded in the halo of the Saint Childe family, so he didn’t pay attention to it.
Now it seems that he was negligent. Even the Saint Childe family itself probably doesn’t have such a powerful magician, right? The Holy Emperor is confident that he knows more about the Saint Childe family. This great mage who is almost equivalent to the mythical level will definitely not be a member of the Saint Childe family.
In this case, can the royal family win over this great mage? The Holy Emperor thought so.
