Book of Gods and Demons

In the stands, Dexth sat with a group of officials from the Ice Sea Kingdom.

Count Xiafei, the consul general of the Ice Sea Kingdom in Tulum Harbor, has just received a small note from a secretary.

He glanced at the handwriting on the note, suddenly pursed his mouth and laughed.

"Interesting." He handed the note to Dex.

Dexth also took the note and glanced at it, then smiled and nodded, then squeezed the note to pieces.

The gambling game was opened in the name of some big businessmen in Port Tulum in the name of several powerful nations such as the Ice Sea Kingdom, the United Kingdom of Nice, the Kingdom of Saint Xia, the Gaul Republic, and the Lucia Empire.

Of course, everyone knows who is standing behind these big businessmen.

The Rittal family and Barbaria...

Oh, no, it is the gambling battle between the Rittal family, which represents the Durham Empire, and Barbaria, which represents the multinational coalition forces, which will be the prelude to the future war.

Almost the entire port of Tulum, who could qualify for this gambling game, placed heavy bets.

According to the betting situation, the total bet on both sides is almost the same.

Not surprisingly, most of the local chambers of commerce and families in Tulum Port have all bet on the imperial army; interestingly, there are also some local forces in Tulum Port who secretly placed their bets on Barbaria's side.

As for the chambers of commerce of various countries, and even the officials stationed in Tulum Port, they are all on the bright side because of their position. They have made heavy bets on Barbaria’s subordinates, but there are also people secretly in the Durham Empire. The side made a big bet.

"This is human nature!" Dexth smiled contemptuously.

Both the Durham Empire and the Lucia Empire are the top powers of the Medland continent, and the armies of the two countries are extremely powerful.

However, if the army of the Durham Empire is a sophisticated and rigorous killing machine, then the army of the Lucia Empire is muddy and chaotic, enough to drown all floods.

Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

If it is the elite main players of the two countries gambling, then the result of the gambling is really hard to say.

Almost everyone on the scene knew that the Imperial Army participating in today's gambling battle was actually the newly recruited and trained Marine Corps after Frederick arrived in Port Tulum. This army hasn't been in the army for a long time, and it probably just completed basic military training, so its combat effectiveness...It's hard to say how much combat effectiveness they can have.

The army that Barbary fought here was not the main force of the Lucia Empire, but the winged cavalry of the Portland Principality, a small vassal country of the Lucia Empire, located in the northeast corner of Port Tulum.

The Principality of Portland has a small territory and a small population, and its national strength is hovering between the third-rate and fourth-rate, but their wing cavalry is a somewhat famous elite light cavalry on the mainland of Medland.

"The result of the gambling fight, no one can know the result in advance." Dexth murmured with emotion.

"However, we are the dealer. The dealer takes all. We will not lose." Count Xiafei smiled. "Actually, it doesn't matter if you lose, doesn't it?"

"Yeah, it doesn't matter if you lose." Dex turned his head and looked towards the faint red roof to the west.

What if this time the gambling fight is a big loser?

The home fleet is on the open sea.

The forces of the multinational coalition forces are being intensively assembled from the four directions of the northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast of the Durham Empire.

As long as the Port of Tulum was conquered, the Ice Sea Kingdom ate a piece of fat, and any loss could be easily made up.

Then, the Marine Corps of the local fleet gently pushed northward for hundreds of miles...

The benefits that this battle can bring to the Binghai Kingdom are at least one hundred times the total bet in today's game. As one of the actual operators of this war, Dex, Earl Chaffee and others, the benefits that can be obtained from it is definitely a scary astronomical number.

This is the strategic vision.

The local indigenous people of Tulum Port, as well as many foreign businessmen, focused their attention on the gambling itself.

And Dex and others, their attention has been placed on a higher level.

Of course, this does not prevent Dex and the others from making a small amount of pocket money from this gambling battle... This is a reasonable and legal little fun.

"Gambling, it's just a little fun." Dex smiled: "The important thing is that the main force of the Duke of Ross's army is trapped on the island of Jiasijia, and it is impossible to land for reinforcements... The Port of Tulum can now be counted on. There are only these thirty newly reorganized Marine Corps divisions."

"Today, let us test their fineness." Dexth smiled happily.

It is simply great to have Barbaria take the initiative to test the actual combat power of the Tulum Port army for the Ice Sea Kingdom. As long as the real combat power of the Tulum Port Garrison is tested, the next battle plan of the Ice Sea Kingdom can be made more detailed and more complete.

Surrounded by a group of Lucian guys, Barbaria earnestly signed a bet with Hessian, then gave Hessian a stern look, stretched out his fluffy right hand, and gestured to cut his neck. Actions.

He grinned and smiled triumphantly.

In this battle, he won the battle with absolute confidence and confidence.

First win 100 million golden marks at the start. Is there anything more wonderful than this?

This one won!

The Duren Imperial Army that appeared in front of everyone was just two ordinary troops with full brigades.

Only Barbaria knew in his heart that most of the wing cavalry he sent out to participate in the gambling battle were the elite of the Royal Knights of the Lucia Empire.

The Principality of Portland is among the many vassal states of the Lucia Empire, and is the closest vassal state to Tulum Port in terms of geography. From the capital of Portland to the Port of Tulum, the straight-line distance is only more than 300 miles.

Just a north-south mountain range is like a wall, just across the border, just like the mountain to the west of Tulum Port, the mountain is steep, the terrain is rugged, the mountain roads are narrow and difficult to pass, and it is difficult for large-scale troops to cross.

As a result, for many years, even when corpses were beaten across the north of the Lulai Plain, the Principality of Portland could only dispatch small-scale elites to sneak through the mountainous area to invade Tulum Port.

It’s also a coincidence that these days, a beautifully born little princess in the Principality of Portland, known as the "Pearl of Portland", has officially grown up. At the age of marriage, the two princes of the Lucian Empire seem to hear Like **** flies, with a large number of elite'crashing', came all the way to attend the princess's birthday party.

Just at the birthday party, the two princes heard about the cause and effect of the Hyderabad Royal Bank robbery, and learned that the multinational coalition forces were about to launch a war against the Durham Empire.

In order to compete for the'Pearl of Portland', the two princes, who almost drew their swords and fought to the death, immediately made a decision-with their respective subordinates, rushed to the border between Portland and Tulum to wait for an opportunity. .

They are going to take part in this war personally and judge by their military merits. Whoever has the last laugh will bring the "Pearl of Portland" back to Fort St. Ann Karina.

There was a dull sound of horseshoes.

A group of heavily armed cavalry trot out from a hill to the east.

The horses that these cavalry ride on are a head higher than the ordinary horses. They are exceptionally handsome and powerful.

The knights on the war horses, wearing light silver half-length armor, light green uniforms, light red cloaks, sterling silver helmets, and colorful feathers decorated on the helmets, they look extraordinarily fancy up and down.

Behind the saddles of these knights, there are two thin flagpoles seven or eight feet high.

Two swallow-tail flags hung on the flagpoles with the red dragon coat of arms of the Principality of Portland. The edges of the flags are thin golden tassels. As the knights advance, the flagpoles open forty-five degrees from the left to the right. It was as if two wings were dancing with the wind behind the knights.

These knights are extremely well equipped.

They hung a circular steel shield in their left hand, a saber in their right hand, a thin, long lance hung on the saddle, and a folded steel crossbow hung behind their left thigh. Inside the quiver next to the steel crossbow was A black bag of pure steel crossbow bolts.

On the back of their right leg, there was a huge leather bag with twelve four-foot-long javelins inserted in it.

On the waists of some knights, there are still three barrels of flintlock short hair.

Some knights have more than one short gun on the waist, but a row of five or six.

Although some knights did not have short guns around their waists, they were covered with shiny flying knives and heavy flying axes.

In the sun, these weapons all shone with dazzling light.

All the winged cavalry were expressionless. They rode on horses as if a silent mountain rushed out from the back of the hills, and then quickly formed a huge geese formation ~www.ltnovel.com~ slowed down and slowed down. Slowly approaching the Duren Imperial Army, which was more than two miles away in front.

"This..." Dix in the stands slowly stood up: "This isn't like Portland's wing cavalry? Whether it's horses, equipment, or...their spirit."

Although the wing cavalry of the Principality of Portland are elite, they are just elite in the conventional sense.

As a small country from third to fourth rate, no matter how brave the winged cavalry of the Principality of Portland are, they always have a small family spirit... and the winged cavalry in front of them carries a kind of top power, Only the top elites have strong self-confidence like overwhelmingly overwhelming.

Even, it can be said that the winged cavalry in front of them has... a kind of extreme pride, even arrogance.

When they looked at the Imperial Army of Duren ahead, there was even a kind of butcher's contempt and ignorance in the dead-water gaze.

As the adjutant of the native fleet of the Ice Sea Kingdom, Dex was able to distinguish this inexplicable momentum.

This cannot be the wing cavalry of the Portland Principality.

Well, at least half of them are not real wing cavalry...

"Barbalia cheated." Dexth bit his lip and snickered.

"Damn..." Count Xiafei's face suddenly turned black: "I let my personal servant, in the name of other people, suppress 200,000 gold marks on the side of the Durham Empire... This is what I have accumulated hard. Private money!"

Dexth took a quick look at Count Xiafei, and said in a very strange tone: "Private money? What a happiness... I borrowed half a million gold marks from the Royal Bank and staked it on the German Imperial Army."

Count Xiafei and Dexter looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders at the same time.

Damn Barbaria.
