The top echelons of the cathars, who had been kidnapped by the Wind Sacrifice and the Fire Sacrifice, set out en masse and led the assembled 10,000 horses to slaughter the enemy with great vigour.

And then...... And then there was no then!

They ran headlong into the 20,000 black-armored Xuanqi who were killing each other.

How could the 10,000 improvised cobbled together cathars be the opponent of the 20,000 Black Armor Xuanqi with the lowest seventh-order strength? Although troops from the Guardian Army came to support one after another, the Pingzhou Army would not just watch Shang Ji fight hard here. In terms of strength alone, the cathars do not have an advantage. The more support there is on both sides, the more obvious the disadvantage of the cathars becomes.

After an hour of fierce fighting, Zhao Yun, Liu Yi, Liu Meng, Tai Shici, and Payne successively joined forces with Shang Ji, and five top generals took the lead in rushing to kill, and with the help of the necromancer group, the cathar army began to rout.

As Zhao Yun killed the fire sacrifice with a single shot, the resistance of the cathars began to draw the curtain down.

The commander died, most of the senior generals died in battle, the morale of the Xianbei army plummeted, and the will to resist also collapsed. The battlefields everywhere have also fallen silent.

By dawn, the battle was almost over, and with the exception of a few that slipped through the net, the 250,000 cathars were either killed or surrendered, and the night attack was a perfect victory.

Overnight, a part of the elite was selected from among the captured soldiers, and the Golden Condor was used to collect them, and the Pingzhou Expeditionary Group added more than 20,000 Xianbei servants above the fifth order.

If it weren't for the three-month time limit, Shang Ji would have been able to rely on the Golden Condor to pacify the grassland in a few years.

After taking care of the remaining captured soldiers and not taking care of rest, Shang Ji immediately convened a military meeting.

"Generals, we wiped out more than 200,000 Xianbei Guardian Corps in one battle, and once again dealt a severe blow to the Xianbei living forces, and the general was very relieved." Shang Ji said happily.

"Congratulations to the Lord!" Everyone stood up and congratulated in unison.

"Hahaha, congratulations are too early, after all, it's just a part of Xianbei's high-level combat power, this congratulations will be left after the elimination of the main army of Kebineng!"

Shang Ji smiled and waved his hand, and then said, "Brother, please inform everyone of the specific results of this battle." ”

Liu Yi got up when he heard this, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, under the night of the heroic soldiers of our army, the Xianbei Guardian Legion was basically wiped out. In this battle, our army wiped out more than 90,000 cathars, of which almost one-third of the enemy troops trampled each other to death in the chaos, and another third were killed in their sleep without effective resistance, and less than 30,000 were actually killed on the frontal battlefield.

In addition, our army also captured 140,000 people, and about 10,000 people escaped from the encirclement. But fortunately, all the high-ranking generals and high-ranking priests of the cathar army were killed or captured, and the cathars were no longer in trouble!

In this battle, because of the proper planning of the lord, the strength of the robes, the soldiers fought bravely, and our night attack took the lead, our army suffered very few casualties. The total number of dead soldiers is only more than 8,000. ”

Listening to what Liu Yi said, even though he already knew the results of the battle, Shang Ji couldn't help but show a smile.

8,000 killed, 90,000 killed, and 140,000 captured, even though there were various subjective and considerable reasons, it was still a great victory.

"Lord, this battle can capture more than 100,000 elite soldiers, and Archmage Payne has made great contributions, and the last general thinks that he should reward Master Payne!"

Finally, Liu Yi added.

Although he has always disliked Payne as a necromancer, as a fair general, Liu Yi has always had a clear distinction between public and private, and Payne has indeed made great contributions in this battle.

Payne in the corner immediately stood up when he heard this, his pale face revealed a hint of excitement and redness, but he said: "General Liu's words are serious, thanks to the wisdom of the lord and the courage of the generals, Payne's little merit is not enough to worry about it." ”

"Meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and those who have done so will be punished, Payne, your performance was watched by everyone last night, and you don't have to be modest!"

With the resilience of the Xianbei people, especially as an army with religious bonuses such as the Guardian Corps, it is basically impossible to capture 140,000 people in a battle. Payne played a crucial role in such an impressive record.

After Shang Ji and others joined forces to eliminate the high-level group of the Guardian Army last night, the remaining Guardian Army fell into chaos, but few of them surrendered directly. Penn led the necromancer regiment, taking advantage of the cathars' turmoil and low morale, backed by the coercion of the army, to unleash mass fear to destroy their will to resist.

Then the other officers and soldiers of the Pingzhou Army easily surrendered in the back, and after a busy night, the necromancer regiment was so tired that they collectively got out of the void, and Payne himself was also seriously overdrawn by his magic power, in exchange for more than 100,000 high-level prisoners of war!

It can be said that Payne's performance yesterday changed the understanding of many heavyweight generals of the Pingzhou Army, including Liu Yi, in one fell swoop, and he can be regarded as initially integrated into the Pingzhou Army.

Shang Ji waved his hand to signal the slightly restrained Payne to sit down, and muttered again, "Payne, do you have anything you want?" ”

"Subordinate...... Subordinate......"

A gleam suddenly burst out of Payne's eyes, but he hesitated to speak.

"To put it bluntly, no matter what the request is, Ben will consider it at his discretion!" Shang Ji waved his hand and assured him very generously.

Originally, the Pingzhou army didn't think much of the captives, but since the Golden Condor, any captive, especially high-level captives, was a potential Pingzhou combat power, and Payne, who could assist in quickly recruiting captives, was even more important.

"Serving the Lord should not have sought anything in return. Correct...... After ...... a while, Payne gritted his teeth and continued: "However, the subordinate has a special identity, and the situation is completely different from that of the generals. The legions of the undead under their control seem to be powerful, but they are all sourceless water. Without a supply of dark elementals, they will be forced into a deep sleep within five months, and will gradually degenerate over the course of three years until they become a true dry bone. ”

Shang Ji did not react, and Shang Ji had long known that the dark element was even more important to the undead army than the food and grass needed by ordinary armies. Without a sufficient amount of the dark element, everything is in vain.

"So, Payne, what do you want?"

"Subordinate, subordinate pray for the Lord to grant the land to build a base for the undead!" Almost trembling, Payne made this request.

"Bold!"

"Arrogance!"

"Bastard!"

……………………

Almost as soon as Payne's words fell, the generals next to him immediately reprimanded him loudly, and Payne himself was even more frightened, and fell to his knees with a pop, burying his head on the ground and not daring to say a word.

Now Payne regrets dying, how could he make this request directly on impulse? Do you think you have a long life?!
