A small portion of the imperial soldiers fled in all directions, while most of them were driven to Basuvius Castle in an organized manner by the drow army.
Wars often broke out in the Underworld, and Mother Cynthia was considered a seasoned commander.
Driving the defeated soldiers like this was a winning strategy on the battlefield. Although the Imperial Army had a large number of soldiers, their formation would be disrupted by their own defeated soldiers.
Sometimes, the enemy's defeated soldiers were more useful than their own army.
First, the emotion of fear was contagious, and the escape of the defeated soldiers would greatly reduce the morale of the enemy.
Second, if the enemy wanted to maintain their formation, they had to be ruthless and kill their own allies, and there were very few commanders who could make such a ruthless decision.
Just as Mother Cynthia had expected, Nicholas IV did not have such courage. A large number of drow scimitar warriors were the vanguard, and the spider priests drove the spider elves, mud monsters, and other Underworld creatures into Basuvius Castle.
"Kill them all! Camilla, take the heads of the Gorse Emperor and Duke Basuvius! "
Mother Cynthia let out a sharp scream, and the drow army was covered in a layer of blood-red light, and their attack speed and movement speed were greatly increased.
However, after Mother Cynthia's scream, "Camilla" did not appear.
"Camilla! Where are you? "Mother Cynthia's mental wave swept across the battlefield, but she did not find her.
Mother Cynthia instinctively felt that something was wrong. She looked at the flag of the Gorse Emperor that was close at hand, gritted her teeth, and ordered, "April! Take my elite guards and attack and kill the Gorse Emperor! "
April was the male partner of Mother Cynthia, and he was also a warrior who was skilled in swordsmanship.
In the society of drows, men without powerful strength were easy to be sacrificed. And even powerful male warriors did not have high status in the tribe. As the fourth husband of the Mother Cynthia, April was not even qualified to participate in the decision-making discussions.
After receiving Mother Cynthia's order, April pulled out his scimitar and led a group of drow scimitar warriors into the battle. Like a sharp knife cutting through a cake, this elite army charged to the flag of Nicholas IV.
But soon, Apulil sent a piece of shocking news.
"Mistress, the Gorse Emperor is not here! The one here is a substitute! "
Although Apulil didn't know the Plantagenet Emperor, it was easy for her to determine if he was a substitute. Nicholas IV's strength was mediocre, and he was killed by Apulil in just a few moves! However, the real Nicholas IV had the strength of a Lord, and it would not be so easy to take him down.
The uneasiness in Mother Cynthia's heart quickly grew. She shouted, "Everyone, retreat!"
Just as he gave the order, the ground suddenly began to rumble and shake! Large clouds of green smoke suddenly spread out and quickly spread to every corner of the castle.
…
Bosuwei Gold Mine.
Andre stood on a high hill, holding a telescope in his hand and looking at Basuvius Castle in the distance.
The wind ruffled his silver-grey hair.
"It's over. The plan went smoothly."
Andre put away the binoculars and made an "OK" gesture to Ogyust who was waiting below.
August revealed a faint smile. He was carrying two people in each of his hands.
One of them was an old man in white silk pajamas. His body was dry like dried medicine dregs, and he was panting while being carried in his hand. The other person was a middle-aged man with a big belly, wearing a luxurious prince's outfit. His face was full of horror.
"Goodbye, Duke Bosuway, my cheap father." Ogyust chuckled. "Do you have any last words? Well, if you have any hidden treasures, you can tell me. "
"The Lord of Light will curse you," the old man in white silk pajamas scolded weakly amidst the violent coughing.
"Hahaha!"
Ogyust laughed loudly and suddenly threw Duke Bosuvius down, then bent his knee and lifted him up. With a crisp crack, Duke Bosuvius's spine broke, and his body was bent ninety degrees. His old, turbid eyes were wide open, and he stopped breathing.
The middle-aged man in luxurious clothes, who was carried in August's other hand, almost peed himself when he saw this scene.
"Calm down, Your Majesty 'Emperor' Kolamans." August laughed. "I won't kill you because you still have value. But if you don't cooperate, don't blame me for being heartless. "
"You … What do you want?" Nicholas' uncle, the younger brother of the old Gorse Emperor, and the emperor supported by the old nobles, Kolamans said with trepidation.
"As you can see, my father, Duke Bosuvius, passed away due to illness."
August shrugged. "Next, I will take over the position of Duke Bosuvius."
Kolamans calmed down and nodded. "Of course, I will issue an order and confer you as the new Duke Bosuvius."
"Do I need you to confer me a title?" August sneered.
"Then … What do you want me to do?"
August said. "The nobles who supported you in the West Sand Province formed an alliance. Including our Duke Bosuvius territory, there are a total of seven families. As long as you let me control the military power of these seven families, I will let you live. "
"Seven families? Isn't it eleven? "Kolamans thought August had remembered wrongly.
But the sneer on August's face made Kolamans think of another terrifying possibility. He pursed his lips and said, "The other four families … have been wiped out by you."
"No, they died in the chaotic battle between the Empire's Western Expedition Army and the underground monsters. It has nothing to do with me." Ogyust shrugged and then put on a fierce expression. "Anyway, you just have to cooperate with me. What's the problem?"
"No problem!" Kolamans reacted quickly.
"Just in case, I still have to give you some backup measures. Andre! "
Hearing August's call, Andre jumped down and poured a bottle of medicine into Kolamans' mouth.
"Cough, cough, cough …" Kolamans said in horror. "What did you give me?"
"A bottle of medicine guaranteed to make you obedient. If you don't listen, you will end up worse than my cheap father. "August laughed.
After sending the dazed Kolamans away, August said, "Is everything going according to plan at the castle?"
"Yes, you can see that the Empire's Western Expedition Army and the underground monster army are covered by the Undead Plague," Andre said.
"I wonder if this thing is reliable," Ogyust muttered.
"Don't worry, it's definitely reliable! This is an improved version of the Lord of Plagues. "A man's voice sounded from the entrance of the gold mine.
