Tauren Overlord

At least in the Holy Empire of Blessing, power is like AIDS, which can only be transmitted through mother-to-child transmission, blood, and sex.

For these lowly soldiers, even if they disobeyed orders and retreated, they would still die.

So they just had to move forward.

But the commune’s terrifying booby traps seemed endless, and they would even jump up and blow people up!

Even though the booby trap's movement distance is not far, it is still very deadly to the soldiers who step on the minefield.

What is even more unbearable for them is the mental torment.

This is a moving minefield. How can we clear it out thoroughly?

The only thing that can save them now is probably the selfishness of the little lords.

These lords may not have a conscience, they know that these troops are the foundation of their survival.

If he gave away all his troops, how could he survive in the Beast Suppression Province?

If they really go all out for the governor, it might be the governor who will cancel his lordship in the end.

After all, the governor also has superiors, and he also needs to show that he is firm in his attitude and willing to "shed tears in exchange for a lord."

At this moment, the leaders of the empire all missed the former kingdom era very much.

At that time, even the king rarely gave such a death order to his lords.

As for the replacement of lords, it is even rarer.

Even in many cases, when local lords rebelled, after the king defeated the rebels, he would still allow the side branches of the rebellious nobles to continue to be lords.

It is not uncommon for a rebel's son... or even the rebel himself to continue to be the lord, but this situation is relatively rare.

What now?

Gertulle was not even a king, he was just the son of the governor, and yet he was already bullying them.

These nobles were also filled with grief and anger!

They even secretly thought that if one day they no longer serve you as governor and no longer work for your empire, things would not necessarily be worse than they are now!

143. Outrageous Battle Report

The battle continued into the night, and Gertule's plan to destroy the Fifth Commune went awry, as expected.

But as the saying goes, happy moments rarely come in even numbers, and disasters, like a lustful party, always come in batches.

Just as Gertulle was distracted by the attack on the Commune, Valentine the Projector walked into his tent.

The official handed him three documents respectfully and said with his head down:

"The Governor has read these three battle reports, and he hopes you will take a look as well."

Valentine was once a subordinate of Gaspard, the "Reappearance of the Old Ones".

With Gaspard gone, Valentine took over some of his old boss's work.

As for how Gaspard died, it was of course because the Governor did not trust his subordinates and needed someone to keep an eye on them.

So he sent out the "Old One", because his skills were enough to shield his three lords.

But his death was too sudden, which directly led to the lack of first-hand information from the battlefield in the rear area between Gertulle and his father, the governor.

There was no other way. Gertuler could only hold his nose and read the battle reports from the rear which must have been beautified.

He just glanced at it and found that the content could only be described in two words - outrageous.

The first battle report came from the young and promising deputy provincial commander William de Bruis in the rear.

His battle report reads:

"Please allow me to remember Gaspard with the deepest sadness."

"The shameless elves betrayed us and led us into the encirclement of the minotaurs."

"The enemy's vanguard is none other than the elves' White Lion Chariot. This unexpected betrayal has put us at a great disadvantage..."

"When the crisis was at hand, it was Gaspard's sudden appearance that reversed the situation that was extremely unfavorable to us."

"But unfortunately, this great officer left us forever under the volley of fire from countless elven rebels!"

"We had to fight as hard as we could in anger!"

"Jules and I, along with our imperial soldiers, will charge towards the enemy camp together to fight to the death with the fierce enemy."

"The fall of Gaspard is undoubtedly a great loss to our empire, but his spirit has been perfectly passed on."

"This inheritor is the brave and fearless Jules!"

"On this cruel battlefield, he was so selfless, splashing his blood all over the land!"

"So much so that when we cleared the battlefield, he didn't have a single piece of complete armor left."

"In the end, we repelled the combined forces of the beastmen and the elven traitors and held the front line..."

"Unfortunately, I failed to complete the task of exterminating the Minotaur."

"But there is a crucial piece of information that I must report to the Governor."

"That is, the enemy is far more powerful than we imagined. With my current military configuration, it is impossible to actively eliminate him."

"I may need the help of three to five lords to achieve a certain balance of power with the Tauren Lord."

"And before the reinforcements arrive, I will hold my ground and fight to the last second to defend the empire's territory!"

In fact, when he was halfway through reading it, Gertuler already felt something was wrong.

But with the Gaspards gone, they really lacked other sources of information.

If we don't read their battle reports, who else can we trust? We can't trust the old peasant soldiers, right?

Those old peasant soldiers who were completely illiterate could not possibly write down their combat experiences.

Even if there are literate subordinates, they are just following the lords for a living. There is no point in going around in circles. It would be better to go directly to read the lord's battle reports.

Fortunately, there is more than one battle report.

Neither Governor Edric nor his son Gail Toole fully trusted Gaspard.

So before they heard the news of Gaspard's death, they had already sought more sources of intelligence to prevent Gaspard from deceiving them.

One of the sources of information comes from the leader of a large group of 40 adventurers, the "Great Resurrectionist" Antoine.

He might be the only rank three adventurer in the Beast Slayer Province, which means he is a true silver.

It seemed that there was no need for this person to have any kind of collusion with the Baron of the Mountains, but after opening his battle report, Geltuler was still dizzy.

The battle report of this great commander reads as follows:

"We were heading towards Wormwood Town at full speed, but we were attacked by the enemy halfway."

"Even our last residence has been destroyed by the enemy!"

"Every warrior knows that the final moment has come!"

"Many warriors even gave up their armor and faced the enemy with the purest blood and flesh!"

"It's not that they don't have armor, but they know that only the courage in their hearts is their strongest defense."

"We have lost 11 members in the process."

"Perhaps they lost their way in the battle with the enemy, or perhaps they sacrificed their only life for the empire."

"But the remaining 29 of us have never forgotten our loyalty to the Empire."

"After the enemy's attack, every step we took was extremely difficult."

"But in the hearts of every one of us adventurers, the great empire is our eternal home."

"We always bear in mind our responsibilities and missions, and move forward step by step towards a more dangerous future!"

"Although the speed of advancement was slower than expected, we finally joined forces with the main force of the Empire in Wormwood Town!"

"Our deputy commander also had a fierce battle with the enemy. Fortunately, like us, they have not been wiped out by the brutal enemy so far!"

However, this battle report was not the most outrageous one, because there was another battle report from Lord Jules who also participated in the battle.

His battle reports were the most outrageous.

Gail Toole didn't even bother to read Jules' entire article. Just a few lines of it were enough to make his eyes ache.

"When William shines on the battlefield, fighting against the evil minotaurs, all doubts about the leader are dissipated like smoke."

"If there are still people who doubt whether mankind can stand on the side of justice and conscience, I would like to say to such people, please look at our William!"

"He not only possesses great personal bravery, but also has skilled command skills."

"But what is most touching is his infinite loyalty to the empire!"

"He is the true role model of humanity!"

"Perhaps there are some evil old farmers who stand on the side of evil and launch terrorist attacks on the righteous leaders."

"But such evil people are just a tiny part of the dark side of humanity."

"In the end, all shadows will be illuminated by true light, just like a true leader who will surely be able to wipe out all the forces of darkness."

"Justice will prevail! Conscience will prevail! Glory to the Empire!"

144. Howling on the Big Stake

Geltuole frowned, realizing that this man spoke just like his father, the Governor. How could he be so fond of value?

But he soon realized that these battle reports were originally written for his father.

What's the meaning behind his father forwarding the battle report to him?

After thinking it over, Gailtule finally understood that even his father, who had always doted on him, thought he was too slow.

Although the situation in the rear was clearly not going well, the people in the rear were still "holding on and waiting for help" and even asking for reinforcements.

It seemed as if the group had colluded with each other. They were either saying that they were under tremendous pressure or praising their deputy commander.

Aren’t they afraid of the Governor’s punishment?

Obviously they were not afraid, and Galtulle understood why they were not afraid.

They can't beat the Minotaur, and it can be said that human combat power is weak.

The logic behind the existence of the Leader is that the human race is so bad that it must be colonized by the Empire for 300 years before there is hope for progress.

As humans being defeated by aliens, this is not particularly unreasonable, at least in the logic of the leader.

But it doesn’t make sense that Gertulle couldn’t take down the commune, because the rebels in the Fifth Commune were all human beings.

If the leader cannot defeat the human rebels, it means that humans are not only weak, but also disloyal.

The Empire hopes that the human leader troops and the Imperial Navy will attack from both sides and wipe out the remaining forces of Lunayuan State on the west coast.

But until now, the Lord Leader Legion has not yet started its attack on the Sky Dance Monastery, but has been fighting with the human rebels.

If this continues, it will be a question whether the empire can continue to maintain the Lord Commander Legion.

Thinking of this, Galtule became more and more angry, but he still tried to remain elegant and said to Valentine:

"I've seen it. What else does he have to say?"

Valentine could tell that there was anger hidden beneath this elegance. He came here to slack off, but didn't want to get involved in the conflict between father and son.

He just slowly passed on the message:

"The Governor wants to launch a general attack tomorrow. Then, he will spare no effort to ensure the demise of the commune."
