Chapter 1659: Arrival of reinforcements

The magical stove in the wicker human body continued to burn, continuously generating dense smoke, flames and heat waves, penetrating through the wicker gap, causing this huge monster to radiate ultra-high temperatures and appear to be burning.
However, the Wicker man will never be burned by the fire in his body, and the wind and rain in nature will not extinguish the flame in his body. The fire magic attack from the outside will not only cause harm to the Wicker man, but will increase its vitality and energy. .
Wicker people flick countless branches to hunt their prey, and the burning branches can instantly light houses and trees.
Even more terrifying is that the monster can also flexibly control the branches and capture the prey into the hearth of his chest to serve as fuel.
If the wickers captured humanoids, the souls after death could not be relieved, and they merged with the coke burnt from their corpses and transformed into a kind of monster called "Fire Boy".
These little monsters parasitic in the wicker people, like the legendary ghosts killed by evil tigers, all became puppets of the wicker people and their master Elson, set fire to meet Elson's perverted fun, and burned the souls.
Neither Haakon nor Slough had ever seen the fire boy, but Scala had seen it, but unfortunately she talked upside down and the logic was chaotic. Joan can only use these inaccurate descriptions to speculate that "fire boy" should be one. This type of small fire elemental creature, similar to coke or lava, can cause severe burns to contact organisms and quickly ignite flammable objects.
In addition, the fire boy seems to possess a supernatural ability. The burning magic radiated by the body forms a circle of "flame aura". All creatures that enter the radius of the aura envelop the radius, as if they are placed in a burning furnace, and they continue to be burned.
As for Elson, The Wicker Man and the Fire Boy, all Joan knows is this. More detailed information remains to be explored.
In addition to the Walsinger family who had clashes with Elson, another source of Joan was Scala.
Since inviting the nine trolls to enjoy a sumptuous "Goblin Buffet" at the top of Bailun Mountain, Sister Scala regarded Joan as a close friend and kept nothing from him.
It's a pity that Sister Scala has a lot of brains, but she's not very smart, so it's really not suitable for intelligence gathering.
Joan also felt puzzled. He was placed in the "informant" of the Caledon mercenary and conquering sect, the younger brother Todd and the older sister La Scala. They were either iron-familiar or crazy.
Joan couldn't tell for himself whether this was just a coincidence, or whether he was honest with this kind of nature, but it's a pity that his brain is not good for the guy who has a special affinity.
At the same time that the military was fighting hard, Sir William Nichols, Governor of the Midgard Colony, was also busy seeking assistance.
In fact, Governor Nichols has long sent more than one letter of assistance to the Empire Cabinet, and has also written to Sir John Norfolk, Governor-General of Alfheim, requesting Governor Norfolk to send troops to the north to help.
However, before June this year, all of these letters were like broken kites, which failed to bring any comfort to Governor Nichols.
Just when he almost gave up seeking external assistance, the victory of the Battle of Lake Aosta changed the dilemma of the Midgard colony.
This victory not only greatly strengthened the confidence of Midgard soldiers and civilians against the Fijian invaders, but also prompted the determined Sir John Norfolk to make up his mind that a thousand militiamen would be transferred from the southern front to George Vassar The colonel led the team and urgently sent to Midgard to support the northern compatriots.
The well-regarded Governor of Norfolk made this decision mainly based on two considerations.
First of all, the victory of the Battle of Lake Aosta made him realize that the fighting power of the Midgard was far more tenacious than people expected. Driven by the enthusiasm of defending the homeland, the colonial compatriots were fully mobilized, and it is likely to recapture the advent Yuanbao, drove the invaders back to Jotunheim.
Now that the Midgardians' chance of winning this war is increasing, the Governor of Norfolk has to think about the post-war situation.
If the request for help from the northern compatriots is ignored, it will inevitably be hated by the other party. In the future, if Alfheim faces the same dilemma, can the Midgards be expected to provide assistance?
It’s good if people don’t fall into the well!
For the sake of safeguarding the friendship between the two colonies in the North and South after the war, the Governor of Norfolk must respond to Sir Nichols' request for help.
Since you decided to support, you can't be too stingy, or you simply refuse to help, and you must help in the end if you want to help.
The Governor of Norfolk believes that instead of sending a small number of troops symbolically, giving the other party a perfunctory impression, charity is not a revenge, and it is not enough to provide enough assistance to let the northern compatriots remember this. The gracious sentiment in the snow.
Now that the fighting in the South has not subsided, Governor Norfolk is willing to offend General Gates and dare to deploy a thousand troops from the front line to assist fellow northerners. Another important factor is that since the summer, the Navy’s offensive has shown succession Signs of fatigue.
The battle that broke out in Delin town this spring was a turning point in the southern war.
Prior to this, General Jumonville's troops moved north from the Brass Pass, sweeping the road all the way, sweeping the Dring Valley, and the soldiers pointed directly at Leiden Port, the capital of the colony of Alfheim.
However, in the battle against Delin Town, General Jumonville’s Sea Blue Corps, as well as the Sea Blue’s allies — Jackals and Goblins, suffered their first defeat since the northward invasion.
With the assistance of local militia and allies of the Asa and Lizardmen, the Vasa Corps stationed in Delin Town completely smashed the fierce offensive launched by Jumonville Corps against Delin Town, and caused great damage to the invaders.
After the Battle of Delin Township, the heavily wounded Zhumengweier Regiment slowed down the siege and looted the ground, and the war turned into a phase of stalemate.
Later, General Gates returned to the mountain to replace Colonel Vaasa and take over the command of the front line. He continued to use the defending ideas of the defending town of Delin to avoid confrontation with the enemy. At the same time, he dispatched small cavalry. With the cooperation of the militia in various places, he detoured the enemy and attacked the sea blue. The man's supply line caused considerable trouble to the Zhumenweier Corps.
The navy laborers expeditioned to fight in this strange and hostile land. It was difficult to supply supplies and soldiers. They also divided their troops to suppress the spontaneous resistance of the people in the occupied area, and were gradually dragged into the mud of the "security war."
As of now, the strategic intention of going north to capture Leiden Port has basically been declared bankrupt. The reason why General Jumonville insisted on refusing to withdraw his troops is that he hopes that the real war in the north will be broken by the Feizhen people, which will bring to the quagmire of the Navy Turnaround.
