In the middle section, a commando team consisting of Daiyan, Macchiato, Somi, Rosalia, and Yoel was formed. Behind them, all the elite goblins were gathered to follow the commando. Then, ordinary goblins protected Aponia, who was holding Niu Zida. Xin Hai, Ning Guang, and Misaki Shokuhou were also by their side. Miku was also included in the central force this time. This was the first time Niu Zida was preparing to use Miku's ability in a large-scale battle.
Yulisia and Aine were responsible for providing mobile support in the air, filling any gaps that might appear on the various fronts, and also transmitting battlefield information to Niu Zida.
Saint Louise, Da Feng, and the other female slaves remained in the stronghold. Unexpectedly, when Niu Zida was not in the stronghold, he specifically instructed Charlotte to handle the affairs of the stronghold. Charlotte herself was quite surprised, not expecting her master to trust her so much. Of course, this was also because Charlotte had a loyal Heatherlink guard by her side, which could help her deal with emergencies in critical moments.
After the two armies had set up their formations, Niu Zida first had Aponia use her elemental skills to focus on attacking the left flank, along with the attacks of the lightning elemental shaman. In an instant, a large number of Altaïr's troops facing the left flank of the goblin army were knocked down by the lightning elemental attacks. Of course, the assault team composed of Asuna, Kuroyukihime, Shizuku Misato, and Rosalia led the goblin army to rush into the gap caused by the enemy's casualties, quickly opening a large gap and causing Altaïr's right flank to weaken.
However, Altaïr's army quickly regained its footing, organized a counterattack, and filled the gaps in the battlefield. Although the assault team composed of Asuna and others inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy, those fighting alongside them were mostly ordinary goblins, with at most a few giant goblin hillbillies that had been catalyzed. Once these giant goblin hillbillies were eliminated, the ordinary goblins found it difficult to gain the upper hand even when facing conscripts. Soon, the goblin army's left-wing attack was suppressed, and Asuna and her group were caught in a fierce battle.
After Altaïr's army stabilized its right flank, its left flank launched a fierce attack on the goblin army's right flank. Altaïr's army had already noticed that the goblin army's right flank was mainly composed of human troops, so it concentrated its elite heavy cavalry to launch a surprise attack on that area. Soon, those human servant troops could not withstand the attack and retreated in droves, even scattering. The goblin troops that came to reinforce them could not stop them either, and many of them were scattered. In less than an hour of fighting, the entire goblin army's right flank was on the verge of collapse. Even when Eurythia and Aine went to reinforce them, they could only delay the situation and could hardly prevent the collapse of the entire army.
"Master, the situation on our right flank doesn't seem to be very good."
Seeing the situation on the right wing deteriorating, Ningguang stood in the central command tent and said to Niu Zida with some concern.
"No problem, it's pretty much what I expected..."
After Niu Zida finished speaking, he exchanged a smile with Xin Hai, who was standing to the side. Ning Guang immediately recognized that this must be the same person again.
Chapter 825
The pure-looking white-stockinged beauty and her master devised a battle plan together. Recently, due to frequent battles, Xin Hai has had more and more opportunities to receive Niu Zida's exclusive favor in the harem. Many times, Xin Hai and Aponia are the only two people serving each other in bed late at night. Especially today, Xin Hai is heavily pregnant and about to give birth, yet she is still serving Niu Zida.
Of course, as a seasoned business strategist, Ningguang is better able to see the development of the situation than military ones. The war will soon end, and when it comes to post-war reconstruction and development, Niu Zida will definitely rely on her more. Therefore, she should not be jealous of Xinhai's favor and lose her composure for the time being. She should just stay by her master's side and wait for the right opportunity.
In the middle of the village.
Seeing that the right flank of the goblin army was beginning to crumble, the atmosphere in the fortified camp became delicate. The few remaining human troops seemed unwilling to hold their ground. Charlotte decisively gathered all the female slaves remaining in the camp around her and then ordered her personal guards to become a temporary supervisory force. Anyone who dared to escape or incited escape would be executed on the spot. She also had a small number of goblin archers left in the camp occupy the surrounding watchtowers to help with the surveillance. Under Charlotte's ruthless measures, the fortified camp finally stabilized somewhat.
However, Charlotte was also worried. She didn't understand military affairs and was unaware of the situation on the front lines. She could only unconditionally trust Niu Zida. At this time, Heatherlink's fate was already tied to Niu Zida. She regarded Niu Zida as her husband and absolutely could not let him lose the war. Otherwise, the territory left to her by her father would be divided up by those greedy nobles of Altaïr.
On the main battlefield, although Yulisia and Aine were trying their best to prevent the collapse of their right flank, Altaïr's army had already seen that this loophole could not be easily bypassed. They had even deployed their reserves to launch a full-scale attack on the goblin army's right flank, hoping to create a chain reaction. Even the central army began to coordinate and launch a joint attack on the goblin army.
"Master, I think the time is about right..."
Seeing that the enemy had committed all their reserves to the right flank, Xin Hai signaled to Niu Zida that it was time to attack. Finally, the opportunity had arrived, and Niu Zida ordered the central army to launch a general offensive against Altaic's forces according to the previously established strategy.
Facing the enemy's central attack, Daiyan, Suomi, and Macchiato, who had finally received the order to attack, quickly swept through Altaïr's vanguard with the support of Red Peony from the rear, creating a gap. Although Altaïr's front line had elite heavily armored infantry slowly charging, even the strongest armor could not withstand the barrage of assault rifles and submachine guns, not to mention the support of heavy sniper rifles. Soon, Altaïr's central army was thrown into chaos.
Just then, Miku, under cover, approached Altaïr's central front line. Suddenly, she activated her "Breaking Army Diva" ability, instantly confusing the thousands of Altaïr heavy armored soldiers who were attempting to flank Daiyan's assault team. She controlled them to turn around and charge at Altaïr's army. This unexpected turn of events threw Altaïr's central army into chaos, and the elite goblins that followed took advantage of the situation, cutting through the cream like a hot knife through butter, and piercing straight into Altaïr's central command tent.
The chaos in Altaïr's central army also caused problems for Altaïr's right wing, which had been on a stable front. Under the attack of the goblin left wing led by Shizuku Misato, it gradually became unsustainable, and the entire Altaïr army was in danger of complete collapse.
Altaïr's right wing, which had been advancing smoothly, slowed down its offensive when it saw the chaos in its center. It had already suffered heavy casualties under the attacks of Eurythia and Aine. It was only because the human servants in the goblin army on the right wing collapsed too quickly and the battle line could not be maintained that Altaïr's right wing was able to continue to advance. But now that there were problems in its rear, many nobles on this side saw that the situation was not good and began to gather their troops, not wanting to die blindly.
The elite goblins of the central army followed Daiyan all the way to Altaïr's central army tent. Nothing could stop them. No matter how well-equipped or skilled the warriors were, they could not withstand the power of the bullets. In particular, Altaïr's army was still confused as to why the thousands of heavily armored infantrymen who were leading the charge at the front line suddenly turned against them. In the end, the entire central army quickly collapsed under such an impact, allowing Daiyan to lead her people into the tent and cut down the central army's banner.
Because this was a battlefield where tens of thousands of people were fighting, it was very difficult for them to communicate with each other. They had to rely on flag signals and the sound of gongs and drums to transmit signals. Now that the central army's flag had been cut down, the entire Altaic army along the five or six thousand-meter-wide battle line was thrown into panic. Even the right wing of the Altaic army, which had been in a stalemate, collapsed and was disrupted by the left wing of the goblin army led by Shizuku Misago and others.
"Master, it seems the central army has achieved some success."
"Yes, we can order a full-scale assault now."
Hearing Xin Hai's words, Niu Zida nodded in agreement, launching an attack and immediately throwing the four or five thousand goblin soldiers still stationed in the central army into the fray. While these few thousand goblins would be no match for humans in a direct confrontation, the sheer number of them was enough to plunge the Altaic army into even greater panic in the face of a collapsing battle line. Seeing the entire front line crumble, the various nobles hastily withdrew from the battlefield, prioritizing their own survival. In just one morning's fighting, over 2 Altaic soldiers had been defeated in a direct confrontation…
Chapter 564 Yura's Rebellion
Chapter 564.
The Altaïr army's defeat on the main battlefield was unstoppable, revealing the chain reaction brought about by the previous pursuit battle at Maine. Because in that battle, Niu Zida sent troops to relentlessly pursue and kill the Altaïr army, resulting in many noble knights being either killed in action or unable to rally their forces. As a result, the Altaïr army that went into battle this time did not have enough knights to command the grassroots militia. Once they encountered adversity, it was easy for them to lose control of their troops and cause them to collapse.
Because Daiyan and her assault troops completely shattered the central command tent, the Altaic army began to collapse across the board. Their right wing and central army suffered a complete rout, and even the Altaic army's left wing, which had the advantage, began to retreat. Of course, they also suffered many casualties in the pursuit. The defeat of more than 2 reinforcements was clearly seen by the nobles watching the battle from the top of Altaic City.
The shock of this battle was even greater for them than for Maine, since the war in Maine was thousands of miles away and many of them had never witnessed it. But today's great battle was happening right under their noses, and they had personally witnessed the entire process of the annihilation of the Altaïr army.
Probably no one could have imagined that the Kingdom of Altaïr would lose 50,000 troops in just one month. Even the most brutal war with Fortini couldn't have ended up like this.
Niu Zida continued to command the goblin army in pursuit. Countless soldiers surrendered and were trampled to death along the way. The scattered army was chased for dozens of kilometers before stopping. Afterwards, Niu Zida gathered the remnants of the army. In total, there were more than 3000 soldiers who had surrendered on the battlefield.
Niu Zida temporarily reorganized this group of people into his own troops. Considering that these people were conscripts from the local populace, Niu Zida specially organized them into an independent unit, paid them wages, and allowed them to stay in the army to serve temporarily.
These people, along with the human support forces, number around 4000. In reality, their combat strength and loyalty are completely unreliable, a fact that Niu Zida is well aware of. However, he insists on keeping this group around to create the illusion that various armies are besieging Altaïr, thus putting continuous pressure on the city.
In addition, after the decisive battle outside Altaic City, nearly 2000 corpses were buried. Niu Zida deliberately transported these corpses to the outside of Altaic City and used them to build a mound of corpses, all in order to intimidate the people inside Altaic City.
It took about a week from the end of the battle to the reorganization of the troops, during which time Niu Zida continued...
Chapter 826
He reinforced the fortified camp and took stock of the goblin army, which numbered several hundred dead in the battle. Fortunately, from Maine to Altaïr, Niu Zida had also worked hard on his female slaves, fathering many goblins, which barely made up for the losses.
"Master, we have defeated Altaïr's reinforcements, can we begin the siege now?"
Inside the camp, a week after the reorganization was completed, Niu Zida convened a meeting with Xin Hai, Ning Guang, and several others from Aponia. Ning Guang made the following suggestion.
"There's no rush now..."
"But what if the enemy has reinforcements..."
"Even if they come, we're not afraid. I'm actually hoping the enemy will send reinforcements. And Ningguang, don't forget, it's almost March."
It was early February of the year 1050 in the Continental Calendar. A biting, icy wind suddenly rose, and the Altaïr army had already begun pouring water on the city walls to create solid ice to prevent the enemy from climbing. That's why Ningguang came to make the suggestion.
"If we gather troops during the busy farming season, Altaïr will be even less able to muster more troops to aid him. Encirclement would be advantageous for our army."
"Xin Hai, have you written to Haiqi Island and sent the 10 priestesses to the Carsten Lake territory?"
"They have arrived. Surya has also completed the reorganization of the Forest Guard and will probably lead 1000 goblins and 3000 reorganized troops to Altaïr. Along the way, I have told them not to attack cities or seize territories, but to hurry to Altaïr to provide reinforcements. They should arrive in a few more days."
These tasks were all ordered by Niu Zida to Xin Hai when the siege of Altaïr began. It's understandable that Su Liya was preparing her army to support them, but why was Haiqi Island asked to contribute 10 priestesses? Was a ritual being performed? Ning Guang asked, puzzled.
"Of course not. You know how we've been replenishing our troops these past few days, right?"
While reorganizing, Niu Zida divided all the female slaves he brought into 7 groups of 4 people each. One group would serve him each day, so that they could take turns getting pregnant and produce about 30 goblins every day, which would amount to about 200-300 goblins a week.
Because all the female slaves needed to become pregnant to replenish the troops, all the female slaves who came to the meeting were pregnant and had big bellies. Ningguang, who was originally tall and slender and was wearing a cheongsam, looked even more charming with her snow-white body and high heels as she walked. Niu Zi Da Ye was attracted by Ningguang's beauty. He snuggled away from Aponia's arms and gestured for Ningguang to hug him. He then pinched Ningguang's big breasts and kneaded them back and forth.
Ningguang simply opened her clothes, revealing her snow-white breasts, and like a nursing baby, she stuffed her tender red nipples into Niu Zida's mouth, holding him and letting him suckle and bite her breasts.
"Ah... Master, please suck gently... I'm not... if you bite like that..."
Because Niu Zida used too much force, the nipples of this beautiful woman in a cheongsam were repeatedly bitten and sucked until they were covered with teeth marks and saliva. Ningguang, with her beautiful eyes squinted, couldn't help but moan as she hugged Niu Zida.
"Is there no problem with your food and supplies transportation from now on?"
"No problem, thanks to the support of the Kumani family, our grain can be unloaded from there, then travel through the Valley of Saint Deer, and then go around to Bern to reach the town of Dessalin for transshipment."
The route was satisfactory, especially since the land west of Bern village now belonged to the Kumani family, and they had offered enough benefits, so naturally Julianus was willing to cooperate with them.
Thinking this, Niu Zida pounced on Ningguang, forcefully separating her slender legs, and said with a hint of shyness:
"Master, I'm pregnant..."
"It's alright, this group has already finished planting for today..."
Hearing Niu Zida say this, Ningguang glanced at Aponia to the side. Aponia could only nod helplessly and agree to Niu Zida's order. Only then did Ningguang open her vagina, letting Niu Zida's huge thing penetrate her, and it seemed to thrust fiercely.
"Master...be gentle...you're hitting the baby..."
Niu Zida's enormous member thrust hard into her throat, churning within Ningguang's tight vagina, pounding against her uterus, forcing her to let out seductive moans. In this repeated thrusting, Niu Zida finally poured all his desire into Ningguang's uterus, bringing her to orgasm along with him...
Three days later, Sulia arrived at the city of Altaïr with reinforcements. According to her, they had hardly encountered any significant resistance along the way. Sulia did not linger in battle; she would conquer any castles that dared to resist if possible, and if not, she would detour. After all, it would only take three or four days to advance directly from the south to Altaïr. She traveled lightly and quickly to the battlefield with the dry rations she carried.
At this time, Niu Zida's army consisted of 3000 surrendered human soldiers, about 3000 forest troops led by Su Liya, and 1000 human auxiliary troops, mainly those brought by Shi and supported by Julianus, as well as a small number of people from the Gong family and other Desalin servant nobles. Niu Zida handed over the management of these 7000 troops to Su Liya. The 1000 goblins brought by Su Liya, plus the few hundred he had recently spawned, together with the previous 7000, formed a total of 9000 goblin troops, which were led by Niu Zida himself. Among them, there were about 200 elite goblins.
Having previously seized a considerable amount of military supplies from Desharin, and with the grain and provisions dispatched by Ningguang through the Kumani family territory into the Sacred Deer Valley for transshipment, Niu Zida calculated that his logistical resources were more than sufficient to support his siege of Altaïr. Moreover, he had defeated Altaïr's main force of 50,000 men in two battles, and Altaïr was about to enter the busy farming season, so he was unlikely to be able to organize a large army to fight him. Niu Zida also had enough time to besiege Altaïr. Whether from a logistical or time perspective, Niu Zida felt that he had the advantage. He believed that by relying on the siege, he could force Altaïr to come out and negotiate with him.
Just when Niu Zida had everything planned out perfectly, it was already early March of the year 1050 in the Continental Calendar. After a month of development, Niu Zida's goblin army had expanded to 10,000 men. Needless to say, the extra 1000 goblins were mostly the result of Niu Zida's hard work in February. In February, he had also sporadically defeated several small groups of Altaic noble resistance forces. As the siege of Altaic City dragged on, the food supplies were almost depleted. Unexpectedly, problems arose in his logistics.
"Master, our provisions... have been stolen in Sacred Deer Valley."
"What? We've been kidnapped?"
That day, Niu Zida was still on top of Daiyan's delicate body, fucking the long-haired beauty hard from behind, when he suddenly heard Xinhai coming to report on the logistics situation. He accidentally ejaculated inside her while trembling. Daiyan could only groan a few times, swaying her beautiful buttocks, to welcome Niu Zida's freshly ejaculated semen. After that, she wisely got up and left, leaving Niu Zida, Aponia who was pushing her buttocks, and Xinhai to discuss things.
"Yes, at least a quarter of our supplies have been stolen, and there have been recent reports of attacks on several transport convoys."
"Strange, there shouldn't be any Altaïr troops in the Saint Deer Valley area."
“Master, perhaps the stragglers of the Altaic army that you defeated before have regrouped in the Saint Deer Valley area and become bandits.”
"Even so, how dare they attack our army's supply convoy? Where did they get the audacity?"
"According to the report, the attack on our logistics was led by a female knight who called herself the Wave Knight."
"Ah, that's not surprising, that's not surprising..."
Upon hearing Xin Hai's report, Niu Zida already knew who had been harassing his logistics team—it was Yura.
.
Chapter 827
"Master, you don't seem to be in a hurry about such a troublesome matter."
"What's the rush? Your harem will soon have another sister."
After lewdly finishing his sentence, Niu Zida ordered Rosalia, Yoel, Asuna, Kuroyukihime, and Misato Shizuku to be summoned. These five women were all in the process of being pregnant and their turn had not yet come. Niu Zida had previously divided all the female slaves into seven groups to alternate their pregnancies in order to prevent any sudden missions. He mixed female slaves who could fight and those who could not, so that when a mission was needed, combat power could be temporarily drawn from the group of female slaves who were not currently pregnant.
Niu Zida summoned several female slaves to his side, gave them some instructions, and then had Joel carry him away from the camp...
"Lady Yura, we've spotted another goblin army supply convoy..."
The soldiers below reported to Yura that this was the umpteenth transport convoy recently. It was astonishing that the goblins could organize such a massive transport operation. Although Yura's raids were often successful, each success brought her much more worry. If the enemy could transport so much food, how many enemy soldiers were there at the front lines? Especially after hearing about the Altaic army's crushing defeat at Altaic City, Yura felt even more compelled to contribute her own strength to the war effort.
After the crushing defeat at the gates of Maine, Yura could only escape the pursuit with the remnants of her army and hide in the Sacred Deer Valley. Later, after Yuricia and Aine stopped their mission, she managed to gather more than 100 people in the mountains of the Sacred Deer Valley and organized a guerrilla squad there, making a living by attacking the goblin army's logistics.
At first, everyone could barely hold on, but life in the Valley of the Deer was too hard. In addition, news of the crushing defeat at Altaïr City came, and many of his men wanted to escape. Especially when they learned that the goblin army was only besieging Altaïr and did not intend to attack their territory, many knights and conscripts from the southern territories voluntarily left the ranks. Even when Yura discovered this, she did not stop them. She felt that people without the will to fight would only be a burden if they stayed.
However, recently, Yura and the remaining few dozen people in Saint Deer Valley have suddenly found their lives improving. This is because they have successfully raided several supply convoys, replenishing not only weapons and medicines but also a considerable amount of food, especially canned goods, cigarettes, and even beer. Yura was extremely surprised by the abundance of enemy supplies. This kind of supply is much better than that of Altaïr's army. Are we really fighting against barbarians like demi-humans? Yura has fallen into deep doubt.
Even with a powerful enemy, as a knight, Yura firmly believed she had to do her part for the kingdom. So she led her remaining followers to attack the goblin army's logistics. Just like today, as soon as she received the news, Yura immediately led her men to attack...
Chapter 565 Yura Recognizes Her Master
Chapter 565.
Following the directions given by her subordinates, Yura led her men to the location. The raid on the goblin army's supply convoy was no longer simply about supporting Altaïr. The supplies for her dozens of men depended on the spoils obtained from raiding the supply convoy. Without supplies, people would starve and die, and even the grandest ideals could not be sustained. Yura also planned to recruit more of Altaïr's troops who had been scattered around Sacred Deer Valley once supplies were more plentiful. She knew that recruiting nearby farmers or gaining the support of nobles from nearby territories would allow her to cut off the goblin army's retreat again in the autumn.
Now, many of the castles of nobles who dared to resist in this area have been destroyed, and those who remain are cowards who dare not resist the goblin army for the time being. Yura knows that she cannot gain their support by changing their stance without achieving enough victories.
"Lady Yura, look, the caravan has already passed by more than halfway."
Arriving at the location where she had previously sent scouts, Yura pointed to the vehicles of the transport convoy passing by below the mountain. She took out her binoculars and looked inside. Indeed, there were mercenaries escorting supplies. These should all be hired by Yunlai Port. The war had been going on for two or three months, and now Yura was gradually figuring things out. It turned out that the logistics of Niu Zida's side were all handled by Yunlai Port. Before the war, Altaïr's side thought that the enemy was just a group of demi-human barbarians, but now they realized that the surrounding forces seemed to have been supporting the enemy all along.
"When we've gone halfway, we'll ambush you at the foot of the mountain. Make sure your arrows are accurate."
After giving these instructions, Yura led her men down the ridge. When they reached the middle of the mountain, they found themselves near the roadside in bushes. Seeing that the mercenaries around them hadn't noticed them, she gave a signal and charged down the mountain.
The mercenaries scattered when they saw a tall, beautiful woman charging towards them wielding a greatsword, unstoppable. They had recently heard that there was a stunningly beautiful woman in the Holy Deer Valley area who was invincible with her greatsword. They warned her not to fight her head-on if she encountered her, saying it was pointless to risk her life for a few dozen gold coins a month.
Seeing the enemy routed, Yura was confident that she had made a good harvest today. Her squad's supplies had been running low recently, but with this loot, she could at least hold out for another 1-2 weeks.
Under Yura's fierce fighting, the mercenaries quickly gave up and fled. Yura did not pursue them, and the battle ended quickly. Yura then ordered her squad members to carry back as much of the spoils as possible. They had previously seen Yulisia and Aine, who could fight in the air. Yura had no way to deal with such opponents, so she instructed her guerrilla squad not to linger in the fight and to run away after winning.
The team members quickly moved essential supplies, prioritizing medicines that took up little space, followed by easily portable food and fresh water. Just as everyone was busy, screams suddenly came from all around. Before Yura could understand what was happening, many of her teammates were lying in pools of blood, surrounded. Upon closer inspection, she saw that several pretty girls had already surrounded Yura.
"So you're the Wave Rider who recently attacked our rear transport convoy. You're really beautiful."
"Master, don't be perverted now."
"I didn't mean anything by it, I was just complimenting the other person."
At this moment, Ushiko-da was being held in Yoel's arms, while Rosalia, Asuna, Kuroyukihime, and Misato Shizuku were surrounding Yura.
"Sister Rosalia, it's you..."
When Yura saw herself surrounded, she was most surprised to see a familiar face. She never expected to see her colleague from Mondstadt in this other world. Although Rosalia belonged to the Church of Favonius, the Church of Favonius was a subordinate branch of the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt. Therefore, both Rosalia and Yura were employees of the Mondstadt system.
"Yura, I knew it was you as soon as I heard the name Wave Knight. I'm ready for battle."
Rosalia, wielding her spear, showed no mercy to Yura. Yura watched as her squads were surrounded and slaughtered by the ambush. She quickly said:
"Rosalia, can you spare my men? I'm willing to fight you one-on-one. If I lose, I'll surrender; if I win, let us go."
“Okay, I agree. If you win, I will let you go. If you lose and acknowledge the Lord, I will guarantee their lives and dignity as long as they do not resist.”
