Tauren Overlord

His position is the same as Lu Heng, the Baron of the Mountains, and he is also the deputy commander of the Beast Suppression Province.

But when it comes to power, you can never just look at the surface.

As the deputy commander, he can directly command seven powerful lords, so his power is really great!

As for how to destroy the Kongwu Monastery, Gailtulle's plan was not complicated.

First, use a large army to surround this area, and kill all the ratmen who are giving warnings. This will also cut off the source of supplies for the Harpy Witches.

After completing this step, Gertuler estimated that there must be emergency supplies stored on the top of the mountain, so it would not be a problem to delay it for ten or twenty days.

But this place cannot be avoided, because the failure of the previous military operation was largely due to the failure to completely eliminate these harpy witches.

Then Galtulle's final solution was to harass them from both land and air at all times of day and night, keeping them in a constant state of exhaustion.

The tortured harpy witch will inevitably fall into a state of insufficient vigilance and eventually be completely destroyed in a general attack.

But they could not rescue themselves because Gertulle had a powerful elite force.

If they were willing to give up the advantageous mountaintop terrain and try to escape, then Gailtule could still use his superior forces to wipe them out.

However, this plan, which seemed almost perfect to Gertuler himself, did not receive the approval of his old father Edric for three consecutive days.

Why is this? Did the conservative old man think his plan was a bit too extreme?

Gertulle was very unconvinced.

If there is any flaw in this plan, it is that it must seize the time window when the three major campuses on the West Coast have not yet been unified.

Once the three "beast men" forces become united, the situation will be completely different.

Whether they are providing assistance to the Kongwu Monastery or launching targeted counterattacks against the Empire, all actions will be much smoother.

Dad, this is delaying the fighter plane!

You are wasting time like this. How can the Empire know that I, Galtule, am a rising star of the Empire?

Just when the young man had no place to vent his anger, Gaspard, an officer respected by his father, walked into his barracks.

Gail Tule never liked this "re-enacterer of the past" who looked as decadent as his father.

What's more, this unhappy official also brought him a letter of appointment that made him furious:

His father did not let him attack the Sky Dance Monastery which needed more powerful troops, but instead asked him to attack the weak old peasant rebels!

Galtule tried his best to be elegant and not look like a mad beast, and his tone was a little cold:

"If you want to humiliate me, just say it. No need to beat around the bush!"

Gaspard hesitated for a moment, took out a battle report, and said:

"Look at what's going on over there."

With sharp eyes, Geltule quickly scanned the front-line battle reports of the war between the Empire and the Commune.

The content of the battle report can be summarized as follows:

It's nothing more than the Imperial Army winning, winning, winning in all kinds of incomprehensible and bizarre predicaments, but they have not yet wiped out those old farmers.

Even their battle line retreated a few points!

As for the bizarre predicaments they encountered, they were as outrageous as they could be!

What if the cavalry was preparing to launch an encirclement but suddenly became paralyzed? This is not just sending lives a thousand miles away, it can be said to be sending horses a thousand miles away.

These war horses are of no use to the harpy witches and ratmen, but for the Taimenia rebels, they can directly improve their combat effectiveness.

After all, the leaders of the empire also knew that although they contemptuously called the rebels old farmers, it did not mean that the rebels were really only old farmers.

Those who yearn for the commune include not only individual nobles, but also many intellectual youths who are easily excited, and Taimenia warriors who once served the empire.

They are not a pure army of old farmers, it's just that the proportion of old farmers is higher, so this batch of war horses can definitely improve their combat effectiveness.

And in the battle reports, there are many more bizarre incidents recorded than just this one.

For example, several affairs officers who led small teams into the village to suppress the old peasant rebels inexplicably grew a hole in their heads.

There are various records in the battle reports about how the hole grew.

There were cases where he was stabbed to death by a stick that suddenly fell from the sky, and there were also cases where he was pierced by a huge thorn that popped out from under his body. There were all kinds of ways of dying.

The soldiers who were led by the affairs officer to suppress the enemy also scattered like birds and beasts after seeing all kinds of supernatural scenes.

Even some Taimenians who were not loyal enough to the Empire directly joined the other side...

The most serious of these was that before attacking the old farmer rebels, the deputy commander hired the Lily Regiment to cooperate with the main force in the battle.

However, when the battle really got to the most intense moment, the entire Lily Regiment seemed to have rebelled...

This is also what the leaders of the empire fear most about the commune.

After a long period of propaganda, the people of Taimenia are full of negative imaginations about Luna's gang of monsters.

After all, they really are various literal minotaurs, sea serpents, ratmen, and harpies.

But the appeal of the New Taimenia Commune to the Taimenians is completely different. They can really absorb the troops of the Leader.

And those who were absorbed by them were not only the old farmers of Taimenia, but also many powerful officials and adventurers who chose to betray the empire.

It is not difficult to understand why Governor Edric would rather leave the "Beast Men" alone and must first suppress the commune!

After reading the battle report, Galtule glanced sharply at Gaspard and sneered:

“How could they fail so badly!”

Gaspard didn't know how to answer.

After all, some people can turn on the landing point vision and scout the weak positions of the imperial offensive forces in advance.

While he was launching a surprise attack, the main force of the leader focused their energy on the front battlefield.

Those imperial troops who suffered a surprise attack were naturally as miserable as they could be.

The battle line that is drawn will of course be as ugly as possible.

The real reason why these imperial attacking forces were not slowly killed by Lu Heng was that Lu Heng's spiritual power was limited and had to be saved until the next battle.

After all, there is not no progress on the Empire's side.

The only good news during these three days was that the troops led by the Baron of the Mountains in the rear had discovered the hiding place of the Minotaur bandit.

In the next few days, we should have to fight a war of annihilation.

This news also aroused some interest in Gertuler - it turned out that not all of his father's subordinates were pigs.

However, what he didn't know was that the Baron of the Mountains found the approximate location of the Suspension Bridge Monastery in just two days. It was purely an accident.

119. Don’t let the succubus succeed every night

The moonlight shines on Aicao Town at night, coating the earth with a layer of silvery white light.

Most of the residents in the town had fallen asleep, with only the occasional barking of dogs and gusts of wind to be heard.

There was still light in the lord's mansion.

Lu Heng, the deputy commander of the Beast Suppression Province, was leaning on a chair in the conference room.

Next to him sat a middle-aged man wearing knight armor and with crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.

The uncle is the lord from the Ovax family and also Lu Heng’s uncle in his current identity - Jules.

This haggard-looking Jules is actually only in his early 30s.

But judging from his appearance, he is already an old schemer.

However, he had been scheming for most of his life, and only by relying on the advantage of his bloodline did he become an imperial baron.

So he always believed that he still had a lot of room for improvement.

It's just that he has bad luck that leads to his slow development.

Speaking of bad luck, he recently heard about another little thing.

His beloved sister, the wife of the previous lord of the Mountains, has passed away.

This really made him quite sad. If his good sister were still alive, she would definitely help him and the deputy commander in front of him to get closer.

Now that his sister is dead, the relationship between him and Lu Heng has become distant.

But what made him even more concerned and anxious was another matter:

"William, why don't we set off early as well?"

"I heard that Thessaloniki City has formed a team of 40 adventurers, and they are obviously trying to steal our credit!"

Jules's concerns were not entirely unreasonable. Even in name, the group of adventurers carrying out the same mission were under Lu Heng's jurisdiction.

But the lord system and the adventurer system are two different systems after all. If the adventurers get there first, it will inevitably affect Jules' military achievements.

Facing Jules with a frown on his face, Lu Heng turned his head and asked Jules in a somewhat confused manner:

"Why do you always feel that the minotaur seems so weak? How could he get ahead of us with just those 40 adventurers?"

At this time, Jules made a professional judgment:

"Alas, we experienced lords all know a common sense."

"Only those ratmen who mix with powerful wild monsters have real fighting power."

"But those high elves have already discovered it. What we are going to fight is almost a pure rat-man beastman settlement. It will be very easy to defeat them!"

"The only difficulty is to find the hiding place of the minotaur. Once we find it, no matter who goes to fight us, we will have a great advantage!"

At this point, anxious Jules slapped the table again:

"I also suspected it at first. It was the High Elves who made a mistake. Why would the Governor form a legion for such a weak group of Beastmen?"

"But when I saw that group of high elves set out ahead of time, I was convinced that their intelligence was true."

"If there really are a large number of minotaurs, serpent demons or harpies over there, those high elves will definitely wait for us to set out together."

"Alas, now that minotaur is a dead body, it's purely a matter of seeing who gets the credit!"

The current situation does put Jules in a passive position.

Because even if the high elves took the credit for the victory, the credit would also belong to their leader Lu Heng.

But I'm afraid Jules won't get much credit.

Lu Heng knew that he was in a hurry, but he just shook his head and said with some embarrassment:

"I have promised my subordinates to have a good rest tonight and set out again tomorrow morning."

"If we change the military orders at will, not only will they not have the energy to fight tomorrow, but the damage to their morale will be a bigger problem."

"Let's not discuss this issue any further. We will still carry out the original plan. As soon as the sun rises tomorrow, our entire army will set out."

Jules had no way to object to the deputy commander's decision and could only reluctantly leave the Lord's Mansion in Artemisia Town.

But what he didn't know was that Lu Heng originally planned to delay for seven or eight days before discovering himself with the two lords under his command.

During the first two days, Jules was really good at slacking off and really managed not to notice anything.

But the High Elf Lord Erica von Meyer and her elven subordinates are very efficient.

Although their total number was only more than 200 people, they found the trace of the Minotaur Overlord within two days.

On the third day, the news reached the governor, forcing Lu Heng to fight.

As a result, the minotaur Lu Heng, who had just returned to the Suspension Bridge Monastery with the harpy witch, had to fight a decisive battle with himself in advance.

It's indeed a tense moment.

Lu Heng felt a headache when he thought about having to deal with the high elves and adventurer groups in the next few days.

So much so that he seemed not to notice that his Aunt Margaret had changed a lot.

For a woman with a daughter who is quite big, she has suddenly become radiant recently.

Her skin became tighter than before and her demeanor became much lighter.

It feels like... I'm suddenly 20 years younger?

Lu Heng ignored all these changes and buried his head in his room.
