"Do you want to give it a try?" The killing power around Yamen Khan was also aroused, and in an instant, it also turned into a skull, but this skull was bloody and surrounded by countless huge blood drops.

This silently indicates his origin, and this image is clearly the holy symbol of Baal, the former God of Slaughter.

"My Buddha is compassionate!"

A high-pitched Buddha chant sounded.

A golden Buddha statue, hundreds of meters high, appeared between the two skulls. The image was 30% to 40% similar to the fat Buddha who had followed Yamen Khan before. His eyes were slightly lowered. , with indescribable peace, can actually stand firm under the impact of the terrifying auras from both sides.

"Harmony is the most precious thing." The phantom of the Buddha statue gently palmed each of the two skulls.

This kind of attack was like poking a hornet's nest. The two skulls reacted automatically and locked the attack target on the phantom of the Buddha statue, surging loudly.

The phantom of the Buddha statue took advantage of the situation and led the two skulls into the air.

The owners of the two skulls borrowed the donkey from the slope and did not try to control the aura. They allowed them to rise into the sky, forming two pillars of light that penetrated the sky and the earth.

puff!

The phantom of the Buddha statue exploded into countless golden lights on the spot.

Click!

The war horse under the red-robed Buddha's crotch turned into a ball of flesh without even hissing.

puff!

A mouthful of blood spurted out from the mouth of the red-robed Buddha. This was pure blood, and his face immediately turned as white as the heavy snow on the grassland.

The fight between two top mortal men is not so easy to persuade. Even if they have a little residual strength, they will be seriously injured. This kind of injury cannot be cured by a few healing magic spells, but requires secret methods to restore it. What Feilun said would directly hurt the professional level and physique.

"General Bartumih."

"The Great Khan."

"Send the imperial master of Scanbhe back to rest. If the imperial master has any needs, I will do my best to meet them."

"As commanded."

Neither General Tukan's vanguard nor Tukan's national advisor Scanbuch talked nonsense and turned around and left.

Because they know that the two parties may be involved in some relatively private dialogue agreements and do not want outsiders to hear them.

as expected.

The two left with their front legs, and the black mist and red mist rose again from the rear legs. Only this time, they did not conflict with each other, but entangled with each other, forming a huge barrier that enveloped the two of them.

They are using their own power to build a barrier of strength to isolate the inside and outside to prevent anyone from prying and eavesdropping.

After the energy barrier was established, Yamen Khan jumped up from his horse. This silently sent a signal that he recognized Sazaz's strength and believed that he had the ability to talk to him on an equal footing.

A black mist poured into Sazaz's body, and he was like blowing up a balloon. The flesh and blood wrapped in bones became full again, and he returned to his previous appearance of an elderly scholar.

Although he clearly knows that he is essentially a lich, all his exposed emotions are just a disguise. At least he is more humane than the cold lich appearance before and can easily confuse people.

This is Sazas' favorite method to use when negotiating. Although he knows that the possibility of the other party being confused by this external appearance is slim, there is always nothing wrong with careful preparation.

"Since the Great Khan is not here simply to plunder wealth, I have a better proposal."

"speak."

"The Great Khan led his army north, bypassed the Sunrise Mountains, launched an attack directly from the north against the Leatherman Kingdom, and entered Faerun from here. When the time comes, we will not only ensure that there are no forces behind the Great Khan, but also attack you. If we launch an attack, we are also willing to release our magic equipment inventory to you and sell Serge’s magic equipment to you at market prices.”

This is a typical example of Sazas diverting trouble to the east, transferring the enemies that originally attacked them to their old enemy, the Kingdom of Leatherman.

In the past half century, the Kingdom of Ser has mainly had two enemies, one is the Kingdom of Aglalon in the west, and the other is the Kingdom of Leatherman in the north.

The former has the largest number of half-elves in Faerûn. These half-elves even have their own exclusive name of Aglalon half-elves. They have the best marksman army in the world.

But what really makes them famous on the mainland is their current queen Xinbu. She has a series of nicknames, including the Storm Queen, one of the seven sisters, the chosen one of the magic goddess Mystra, and the lover of the greatest mage Elminster. etc.

Even the red-robed mages have to be wary of her wild style, because once her fury is aroused, she will lead the storm and thunder to the peak of Ser alone.

But her series of sensitive identities prevented them from actually inflicting fatal injuries on her, because once they did, at least half of the top ten mages in Faerun would appear directly next to her. At that time, This is where the real disaster begins.

Therefore, even if Sel had the national power to completely crush the Kingdom of Aglalon, there was nothing he could do to them.

The latter Leatherman Kingdom has Leatherman Witches and Leatherman Berserkers who are famous in the mainland.

Although nominally, it is ruled by a powerful berserker revered as the Iron King.

In fact, the Iron King was chosen by the Leatherman witch who was hiding behind the scenes.

These witches have unique totem spirit magic. There are a large number of spirit totems in that land. In this land, the Leatherman witch has far more power than ordinary spellcasters, and can even suppress other people to a certain extent through secret magic. Spellcasters are in a state of decline, and having a magic battle with them in the Kingdom of Leatherman is definitely a thankless task.

As for warriors, Leatherman has the best berserkers. When thousands of totem berserkers with bare arms charge on their soul totem mounts, an army that can really withstand it not much.

These two countries were like an iron pliers, tightly restraining Serge, preventing them from making any progress on land.

As for the east, there is the endless wilderness where Tukan’s army came. Most of the time here, except for monsters, there are no human beings at all, and there seems to be no end. It is the world of those nomads. For a slave country , the value is naturally not great.

As for the south, it is part of the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars. The Kingdom of Unther and the Empire of Mulhorand, facing each other across the strait, are both colonial empires established by ancient alien gods, especially the latter Empire of Mulhorand. , and is the former master of the Ser Kingdom.

The Red Mage Association fought for the independence of Cyre by resisting the Mulhorand Empire. Before that, Cyre was just one of its provinces.

Although both Unther and the Mulhorand Empire have been in decline in recent centuries, Unther's brutal God-Emperor, Unther's supreme ruler, and the main god of Unther's pantheon, Gilkin, has been in decline in the Holy Empire. During the catastrophe, he was killed by the evil dragon queen Tiamat.

Another important god of the Unther pantheon, Aslan, the god of war, thunder, rain, and storms in the Unther pantheon, died at the hands of the vengeful god Hall. This god was also the god of Unther. A member of Zhuan, he was driven out of the Unther pantheon by Aslan in ancient times, and later joined the pan-Faerun pantheon.

The entire Unther pantheon was on the verge of collapse, and the ancient Unther Empire was also in turmoil.

But now this place has its own owner. When the Evil Dragon Queen Tiamat killed the God Emperor Gilkin, she put her own label on this place and left her own seeds of power.

Mulhorand, another foreign god system, can't wait to annex this old neighbor and expand its declining influence in this world to meet the increasing impact from the pan-Faerun god system.

All in all, expanding to the south is too dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be involved in the melee of the three major divine systems - the Pan-Faerun God System, the Unther God System, and the Mulhorand God System.

Become a pawn in the hands of the pan-Faerun gods to expand their influence in the Kingdom of Unther and the Empire of Mulhorand.

This is definitely the most taboo choice for red-robed mages.

Now the Tukan army led by Yamen Khan presented an opportunity.

As long as the northern obstacle, the Kingdom of Leatherman, is torn apart, Agolalonco alone will be unable to support them. They will have a chance to march into Sesk, the Great Valley and even Nafir, and revitalize the entire situation.

As for Yamen Khan taking down all of Faerûn?

This possibility did not even cross Sazaz's mind. The gods of the Pan-Faerun pantheon were not vegetarians.

How could they allow an outside force to come to their country and demolish their homes?

Especially those kind gods, they will definitely urge their believers to form a coalition to support the Leatherman Kingdom.

And this time, Cyric, the God of Conspiracy, who is best at causing disputes and conspiracies, will also stand firmly on their side.

Whether Yamen Khan can see the results of the battle depends on whether his soldiers are fast enough and whether they can finish the battle before the kingdoms of Faerûn send out large-scale reinforcements.

There is no need to analyze these Sazhas to Yamen Khan.

"With just a promise and a trivial benefit, I want Ben Khan's army to work for you and eliminate your enemies for many years. I'm afraid there is no such a cheap deal in this world."

Yamen Khan is also not someone who is easy to fool. "I prefer to get it myself rather than spend money to buy it. You small and narrow-minded people can block my vanguard army, but you can't block my five hundred thousand." Army, our iron hooves can break through even the Great Wall of the Far Eastern Empire."

As an iron-blooded conqueror, Yamen Khan is extremely determined and will not easily change the direction of his attack just because of the frustration of a vanguard army or a few promises from the enemy.

Especially when the other side has huge interests.

Although the Kingdom of Seer is powerful, they will pay a heavy price during the attack, but once they succeed, the harvest will be extremely huge. Massive wealth, a large number of slaves, and countless powerful equipment will allow them to recover their health immediately and transform. More powerful, able to drive more civilian slaves for their use.

This is a trick they commonly use in the Xianglong Empire. Compared with the Xianglong Great Wall that has been built for thousands of years (that Great Wall is not simply made of earth and stone, but the Xianglong Kingdom slaughtered countless real dragons, using Made of their flesh and blood souls and possessing many powerful magical effects), the defense line of the Ser Kingdom in the Sunrise Mountains was full of loopholes in the eyes of Yamen Khan.

The First Chief of Ser did not expect to convince the other party so easily, and asked: "How can we make Khan change his route to the Leatherman Kingdom?"

"I want the topographic map around Leatherman Kingdom, the most detailed and realistic one."

"There's something ready here, here it is."

"I want 30,000 tons of grain."

"It's impossible. There are too many. We simply can't collect that much in a short time. Three thousand tons. We can transfer up to three thousand tons to you."

"Three thousand tons are not enough for our army for three days. If we turn north, we will have to walk at least an extra thousand kilometers and spend nearly ten days more. If you are not even willing to provide food for this period of time, how can you prove yourselves?" Sincerity?"

"Then based on ten days, I will find a way to raise 10,000 tons of grain for you. Any more will be far beyond the capacity of our country. After all, winter is coming soon, and there will be no more grain produced in a short period of time."

"I have a simple solution for you. Fifteen thousand tons of grain, plus one hundred thousand slaves and ten thousand fireball wands. This is my final offer. If you agree, my army will immediately change direction and attack northward. If the Leatherman Kingdom doesn’t agree, then let’s wait for war.”

"make a deal."

Sazas's cheerfulness made Yamen Khan couldn't help but wonder if his price was too low. It seemed that in the eyes of the first chief of Ser, slaves and fireball wands were cheaper.

This is also true.

Serge only has two things in abundance, slaves, and low-to-medium-level magic items. Especially the fireball wand, the most common and powerful equipment on the battlefield, they give priority to making.

The evocation department has a special fireball wand tower. All other functions of this mage tower are given up, and it only extremely enhances one ability, which is the control of fireballs.

In this mage tower, not only the materials and time required to make a fireball wand will be greatly reduced, but the success rate will also be greatly improved.

A fireball wand tower is enough to accommodate three hundred middle and low-level evocation mages making fireball wands here at the same time. Strictly speaking, this is already a factory.

A factory specializing in the production of fireball wands, but the workers in this factory are not ordinary people, but mages who are extremely powerful and noble in the eyes of ordinary people.

There are not a few such factories in Serre. The eight major factions have their own, and the governors of the eleven provinces each have their own small abacus and small factory.

Ten thousand fireball wands, not to mention ordinary people, even in the eyes of many spellcasters, is an incredible number. In the hands of Serge, it is just the output of a fireball wand tower in one month.

As the head of a country, Yamen Khan could not go back on his word, so he nodded readily and said: "This matter has been settled. What suggestions does the chief have for attacking the Leatherman Kingdom?"

After all, they have come from afar, and their knowledge of the intelligence here is relatively limited.

What General Bartumih learned from the mouths of those prisoners was only the lowest level of information, which was definitely not at the same level as the information mastered by the leader of the country in front of him.

As for whether Serge will take the opportunity to plot against them.

If it were another goal, it would indeed be possible.

But if it was the Leatherman Kingdom, Yamen Khan was not worried at all. Seeing the military map thrown over by Sazaz, he had already fully understood the opponent's true plan.

Kill with a borrowed knife.

Their Tukan army is the sword that Serge wants to borrow, and the Leatherman Kingdom is the target they want to deal with.

For the Kingdom of Ser, no matter how powerful their Tukan army is, they are just passers-by. They will either continue to rush forward crazily, or they will be defeated and retreat into the endless wilderness.

No matter how weak the Leatherman Kingdom is, it is still the nail in their north. If it is not removed, it will be difficult for the Ser Kingdom to continue to expand.

"Before Khan's army arrives, we will launch a large-scale feint attack at Mosantir Lake to attract all the berserker legions of the Leatherman Kingdom, and Khan's army can take the opportunity to attack their army in the Sunrise Mountains. Military fortress Leatherman Fort." Sazas was more concerned about Tukan's army attacking the Leatherman Kingdom than Yamen Khan.

Not only did they make suggestions, but they also sent troops from the Kingdom of Ser to assist. The two countries had been grudges for a long time. They fought a small war every month and a big fight every three months. There was no such thing as an undeclared war.

"Is it that simple?" There was a trace of disdain in Yamen Khan's words. Any general under his command could formulate such a tactic.

"Leatherman Castle is also a feint attack, to attract the attention of the Leatherman Kingdom's Berserker Legion and Leatherman Witches stationed elsewhere.

Khan selected a fine cavalry from his own army, equipped with two horses, and moved a few days behind the main force of the army. When the Leatherman Kingdom's attention was completely attracted to Leatherman Fort and the vicinity of Mosantir Lake, .

This elite cavalry cuts straight to the north, then bypasses the Sunrise Mountains and sweeps inward along the highest mountains of the Leatherman Kingdom. I believe that the Leatherman Kingdom, which is already extremely empty inside, is definitely no match for Khan's elite cavalry. .

Now that the enemy has broken into the interior, Leatherman Castle has no value to the Leatherman Kingdom. As long as they waver, the city will be destroyed in a matter of seconds.

The entire high mountains of the Leatherman Kingdom will become the Khan's possession, allowing your army to roam freely.

At this time, Khan must not relax.

The Sunrise Mountains are only the Leatherman Kingdom's first line of defense. They also have a water line of defense, Lake Asen.

If Khan stayed in the High Mountains for too long, he would most likely be blocked from advancing westward by this lake.

It would be best to pursue the Leatherman witches before they regroup and annihilate them all in one fell swoop.

I will prepare an additional 5,000 snowstorm wands, 3,000 ice storm wands and 3,000 ice wall wands for Khan, so that you can take advantage of the cold weather to completely freeze Lake Assen overnight. Then a pursuit across the lake. "

When the first chief mage of Serre was talking about this plan, his eyes shimmered brightly. He was not looking directly at Yamen Khan, but looking at the void behind him.

Not only was Yamen Khan not angry, but he couldn't help but feel a hint of joy, because this was a unique situation that only occurred when casting prophetic spells - Sazaz was using spells to peek at the direction of the future war.
