Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 83 Duoris
"Mr. Duoris has guarded the northern border for three years, and he has made great achievements. This time, he put down the barbarian turmoil in ten months. He really deserves to be the first-class pillar of my court. Let me have a glass of wine!" La Dagang held a wine glass to The person beside him saluted.

Seeing this, Du Auris quickly lowered the mouth of his cup slightly, raised his glass with Ladagang, and said modestly: "It's just to wipe out a group of mobs. Your Majesty, if you send any general in the court, you must be able to make a quick contribution. How can talent be called a pillar?"

Radagon shook his head and smiled lightly: "Mr. Duoris, you don't need to be overly modest. Now that the two chiefs, Otaupis and Siluria, are getting old, there are only a few people like you who are in their prime of life and have made great military achievements. If you are not a pillar, who can I lead as my arm?"

Duoris nodded deeply when he heard the words, and no longer declined.

In fact, this scene of Junming, Chenxian and Xianxian is really not a deliberate affectation by the two of them.

As the leader of the nobles of the new party of the Golden Dynasty, Duke Duoris was Radagon's most trusted confidant general.In the past few years, the chaos in the northern border had first emerged, and it was Ladagang who resisted all opinions and placed Duoris in the position of guarding the northern border. The purpose was to let this confidant gain a wave of military reputation.

As soon as the decree was promulgated, Duoris took his only son Carlisle to take office in a hurry.

In the past three years, this person first relied on the authority of Radagon to take over the supreme command of the Northern Army Corps with an extremely tough attitude, and then gradually filled the ranks of middle-level officers with many accompanying confidants, step by step up to 5 The Northern Legion of [-] people is firmly in their hands.

By the time this series of work was completed, two full years had passed since the day he took up his post in the northern border.

Seeing that he only focused on seizing power in the past two years, and the rebellion caused by barbarians such as mountain demons, hybrids, and orcs in the northern border became more and more serious, Malika's old party nobles finally couldn't bear it anymore, and openly denounced Duoris in the court , unanimously demanded that he be dismissed from the position of guard of the northern border.

For a while, public opinion was raging internally and externally, and even the army began to spread rumors that Duoris was about to resign from office and go back to the capital. However, unexpectedly, Queen Malika, the leader of the old party, remained firm at this juncture. silence.Therefore, with the difficult support of Ladagang, the old party's fierce counterattack failed to bear fruit after all.

As soon as the summer of the third year came, Duoris suddenly changed his previous inaction and ordered the whole army to take advantage of the only warm day in the year in the northern border to build small camps in various places in the snow field.He even personally went to the flame monks' temple deep in the snow field, and after reaching a consensus with the seven archbishops, he built the forward camp to the line of Sol City-Otina Town, and successfully built it in less than two months. Hundreds of makeshift forts.

Afterwards, Duoris immediately ordered the entire northern border to be fortified and cleared, all patrolling troops retreated to the camp, and all material transportation to the south to Lord, North and Sol City was also stopped at the same time.

This move immediately plunged the barbarian rebels in the northern border into chaos. Due to the harsh climate of the extreme arctic ice sheet and the lack of a sufficiently stable base, the rebels have always relied on the patrols, transport teams and various types of looting of the Golden Dynasty for their supplies. Caravan.

Originally, they were not afraid of these fat sheep staying behind closed doors, because most of the cities and towns in the northern border were extremely far apart, and the rugged mountain roads and never-ending snowstorms seriously hindered the circulation of supplies. Even if the Golden Dynasty only suspended these teams for a few days It is tantamount to cutting off the lifeline of the entire northern border.

However, the current situation is completely different from the previous ones. Duoris has accumulated three years of manpower and material resources, and has devoted all his efforts to build an iron-walled defense line. Cutting off supply lines can also kill the rebels wandering outside the fortress.

After searching for more than ten days in the cold wind and snow of the extreme northern ice sheet, the hungry rebels finally confirmed that the northern guard who they jokingly called "General Turtle" had implemented the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness to the extreme. There is not even a bag of food that is still in transit in the wilderness outside!
Suffering from hunger and cold, the barbarian rebels who had come and gone like the wind relying on their strong physique and familiarity with the mountain roads had no choice but to gather together and attack those small camps with local superior forces. However, they underestimated Duoris again.

With the vast and boundless area of ​​the extreme northern ice sheet, the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Northern Legion dispersed into hundreds of fortresses are indeed quite rare, but under limited conditions, Duoris has arranged the combination of troops to the extreme.

Under his arrangement, each fort has at least five golden knights and ten golden monks as the backbone of the combat force. Duoris even through statistics and analysis, accurately guaranteed the weapons, combat skills, and prayers that these 15 people are good at. It can form the most powerful combination, supplemented by [-] to [-] heavy spear infantry, sword shield soldiers and crossbowmen with a reasonable ratio, making every camp a piece of cake. Hard bones to gnaw.

Under such circumstances, as soon as the rebel group, suffering from cold and hunger, lack of preparation and serious lack of organization, launched an attack on this iron wall defense line, they would immediately hit their heads and bleed, even if they paid several times or even dozens of times the casualties. Conquering a camp, the materials harvested are far from enough to make up for the heavy price paid during the siege.

More importantly, the chaotic group organized by the barbarians to resist the Golden Dynasty has never actually had the strength to confront the Northern Army. The Frontier Corps solved the problem that the rebels were scattered, easy to defeat but difficult to eradicate.

But when they failed to attack the city and wanted to disperse and flee like in the past, they suddenly found that they had been firmly restrained by the Duoris steel screen-like defense line. The army can go out of the city and intercept them easily.

On October [-]th, [-] miles southwest of Sol City, in a wilderness surrounded by five small fortresses, [-] barbarian rebels who were desperate did not wait for the opportunity to escape, but waited for Du Auris' mobile unit that has been dormant for a long time.

When more than a dozen golden heroes acted as the blades and led six thousand elite cavalry to sweep across the frost and snow, the array of rebels made of flesh and blood immediately exploded like ice cubes hit by a hammer. Their blood spread a seductive red carpet on the vast snow field, and the snow mist raised by the horseshoes also turned into a bleak wind.

The knights in golden armor exhaled thick heat through their visors. They held blood-stained swords and patrolled the battlefield with bloodshot red eyes, but they could no longer find a complete enemy. Big or small, remnants of different shapes, and the wind and snow that seemed to never stop.

At this point, the barbarian rebellion in the northern border that had lasted for more than ten years was declared to have subsided, and Duke Duoris also responded to all doubts from the DPRK and China with the most brilliant record since the end of the unification war, and has since become one of the world's famous generals.

This time he returned to the court victoriously, receiving meritorious service and rewards is only the most superficial purpose, and more importantly, it is to give a shot in the arm to the new party, which has repeatedly suffered setbacks in front of the old party and the ancient dragon temple in recent days.

Therefore, at this state banquet where many heavyweights were present, Ladagang showed such a degree of respect and concern for this important minister under his command. Ming chariots and horses stood in the ranks of the new party, and Duoris's respectful and humble attitude was also the simplest and straightforward response to the lord.

"Mr. Duoris, you have lived in the north for a long time in recent years, and missed the entry of Lucia and Lataen's children into the court. You might as well meet with them later and give some words of encouragement as an elder." Ladagang Smiling and looking at the demigods in the distance, he seemed to mention something casually.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand." Duoris said respectfully.
