Chapter 502: Bird-men

After a lively discussion, the plan to divide the forces for the attack was arranged.

The North Gate was the main direction of attack, with the fifteen Knight Orders from Red Pine Castle and Shuangfeng Ridge as the main force.

In addition to the top combatants like the Silver Moon Knights Jialete, Youge, Gushan, and Yiben, Ruidar, a Blazing Sun Knight, was also transferred over to coordinate the attack.

The East Gate direction used the three Knight Orders of the Gistana Duchy, plus three Knight Orders cobbled together from numerous minor nobles, as the attacking force, with Count Qiaozhi as the commander;

The West Gate direction used the three Knight Orders cobbled together from Wushan Territory, Wubei Territory, and other minor nobles as the attacking force, with Meilongnika as the commander.

Luoning, with his flexibility, could shuttle across the battlefield, and while holding the title of Military Advisor, he was required to listen to his arrangements when necessary, in addition to the North Gate, by the commanders of the other two directions.

At noon, the various camps ate lunch early and then began to mobilize troops to divide the forces.

On the hillside, Luoning, Suofeiya, and others gathered together.

"I used the flying carpet to scout this morning, and there are no signs of large-scale reinforcements in Miwu City."

Suofeiya is a water, wind, and fire tri-elemental Archmage; relying on the magic flying carpet and magic for concealment, she could complete intelligence reconnaissance work to a certain extent.

Luoning was somewhat surprised.

According to intelligence from Gushan, Yiben, and others, he knew that the garrison of Miwu City was around ten Knight Orders.

With such troop strength, even relying on the sturdy walls of Miwu City, it would be almost impossible to resist the Noble Allied Forces.

No reinforcements meant only failure, which was equivalent to the Telixiya Kingdom completely abandoning the border.

But according to the intelligence Hameng recently sent back, the Molten Duchy and Telixiya should have reached a cooperation and ceasefire; in this situation, why not send reinforcements?

"If this is really the case, then Wulaer's approach of letting Pulaxiduo and other forces be wiped out while left outside is even more incomprehensible."

Suofeiya sighed, and worry appeared on her beautiful face.

"It's just a pity that the Soul Power Sensor is only aimed at the Shadow Envoy and does not work on the other two of the Holy Storm, so it's impossible to judge whether there are people from the Storm Envoy and Flame Envoy in this city."

The reason why the City of Dawn specifically developed a targeted sensor for the Witch Soul Clan was mainly because the leaders of the Witch Soul Clan were simply too difficult to deal with.

Hiding in the dark without appearing, unable to find the source, the threat of the Witch Soul Clan could never be resolved.

And the Storm Envoy and Flame Envoy also possessed similar conversion abilities.

Their conversion required the target's cooperation; the more actively they cooperated, the better the effect.

At the same time, after becoming minions of the Storm and Flame, although they did not lose their original selves like the Witch Soul Clan, marks would appear on their bodies.

For example, after joining the camp of the Flame Lord, there would be faint golden sun flares on their foreheads;

And after joining the camp of the Storm Lord, there would be wing-like patterns on their backs.

Regardless of which one, they did not emit Nightmare Evil Power in their normal state, and an Archmage's Mental Power could not sense any abnormalities.

Therefore, Suofeiya could not judge whether there were alien beings in the city.

Luoning pondered slightly; if there was enough time, he could go and check, but the great battle was imminent, like an arrow on a bowstring that had to be fired; even if he found something, Jialete could not stop the attack.

"For the afternoon battle, Suofeiya, Meilongnika, you two be careful; if the situation is not right, prioritize preserving our combat strength."

The two nodded slightly.

The flank was originally for support, to disperse the little strength Wulaer had and reduce the pressure on the main attack direction.

Tactically, it was not about charging forward recklessly, but just harassing.

At this time, in the Count's castle in Miwu City.

General Aruba sat in the main seat, and his apprentice, Count Wulaer, sat on his left.

Sixteen people also sat on both sides of the long table, and behind them were dozens of war generals wearing armor and possessing great momentum.

Among them, at least thirty people had faint golden spots on their foreheads, which really couldn't be seen if one didn't pay attention.

"Looking at their movements, the time for the siege should be in the afternoon."

No tension could be seen on Aruba's face at all; on the contrary, he was very calm and composed.

"This time we have two tasks, and the most critical one is to slay the dragon and kill its master, Luoning!"

The fame of Luoning and his dragon had long spread into the Telixiya Kingdom, and as the main person who eliminated the Shadow Envoy Mofisite, he was already on the roster of the Holy Storm Organization.

Whether it was Yan Yi, Selandier, or the newly appointed King Tailuo of the Telixiya Kingdom, all held deep hostility toward this person who was only twenty years old but already Sun-level.

Especially now that Luoning was accompanied by Suofeiya and others who came from the New Moon Continent, this was like a thorn in the side and a prick in the eye for the Holy Storm Organization.

For someone who posed such a great threat to them, they naturally wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Therefore, in this border battle, it didn't matter even if Miwu City was lost; as long as Luoning and his dragon could be killed, the Telixiya Kingdom and the Holy Storm Organization would not be at a loss.

For this reason, they prepared a whole room of core strength.

Having these eighty-plus reinforcements of at least Silver Grade was far better than having ten-plus Knight Orders.

"Come on!"

A woman with a pointed chin and pointed cheeks licked her lips as if she had discovered prey.

"Slaying a dragon, it's truly a blood-pumping thing; I can't wait!"

Sitting opposite her, a burly man with golden spots on his forehead looked regretful, "It's just a pity that I'm not one of you bird-men; I can only transfer the regret of not being able to participate in dragon slaying onto those guys on the ground."

The woman narrowed her eyes, "Who are you calling a bird-man?"

General Aruba was also not very happy: "Lord Wina, watch your mouth!"

Wina laughed and spread his hands: "Everyone jokes like this often, don't mind it."

Aruba didn't want to say more to the other party, "Then I'll give you a task: capture Prince Jialete alive; don't tell me you can't do it!"

"Can't do it..."

Wina was very confident, "That's impossible, old buddy, leave it to me."

"Hmph, since that's the case, then let's start acting according to the plan set before!"

Time passed quickly in the tense atmosphere; the Noble Allied Forces of the Auduin Kingdom divided into three routes, with the main force concentrated at the North Gate directly in front, and the other two small units detouring from the side roads to the East Gate and West Gate.

Although the number of people on the front line exceeded one hundred thousand, most of them were logistics personnel.

In the situation where everyone felt that the troop strength was sufficient, these logistics personnel were not required to go to the battlefield but were left in place to wait for notification.

Luoning was currently at the location of the main force, and when the attack began in a moment, he would do as he did yesterday, first having Kaierluosi launch the first wave of the assault on the walls of Miwu City using Flame Breath, Frost Breath, and Ice Arrow.

Afterward, the main army would move in, and he would then see how the situation developed before deciding whether to continue or go take a look at the West Gate or the East Gate.

"Luoning, once this battle is over, you must come to be a guest at my castle."

Viscount Weilisi was still chatting with Luoning: "My granddaughter has always admired you; if she could meet you, she would certainly be very happy, and if you are willing..."

"Uh, Viscount Weilisi, I have only just married Blanche."

Luoning hurriedly interrupted the other party, fearing that this fellow was becoming muddled.

Viscount Weilisi laughed heartily, "I know that, but don't you have a younger brother? Buleidun, right? I heard his talent is quite good, and my granddaughter also has great potential in Magic!"

Luoning could not help but sneer.

This fellow, with a great battle ahead, was actually still thinking about arranging a marriage.

He raised his head, gazing toward the city walls, and changed the subject: "Viscount Weilisi, look, the defending troops on the opposite wall do not seem to be very numerous, do they?"

Only then did Viscount Weilisi look over; he frowned and put aside his thoughts of marriage.

"Indeed, there are not many. What exactly is this Count Wulaer trying to do?" (End of chapter)
