Chapter 2769: Always 'Concerned' About Allies
Judging from the current situation, Turt's proposal was very likely to be completed. After all, the Heavy Hammer unit had been annihilated.
The Northern Border army was indeed fierce, but in equal numbers, there was no unit that could shake the Holy Emblem Knights or the Wolf Cavalry Legion. At least on the surface, there was none. As for whether there was hidden power, this was unknown.
In the battle just now, the Holy Emblem Knights suffered casualties, but after shaking the Heavy Hammer unit, their military strength was still around 500,000.
And Su Xiao's Wolf Cavalry Legion was also a similar military strength. If he fought hard with Turt, if he used that move, he could annihilate the Holy Emblem Knights with a loss of 150,000 to 200,000 troops. The Holy Emblem knights all had final killing moves, which was to completely detonate the spells on their armor.
Fighting hard with the Holy Emblem Knights was unwise. Su Xiao was also preparing to attack Duin's Royal Capital. Without enough military strength, he couldn't break in at all. The City Guard of Duin's Royal Capital was not inferior to the Holy Emblem Knights in terms of elite level.
Su Xiao was very clear about one point: while he was thinking about how to deal with the Holy Emblem Knights, Turt opposite was also thinking about how to deal with his Wolf Cavalry Legion.
"Attack the Northern Border's main city?"
Su Xiao thought in his brain what kind of trap Turt would set up. What could be determined was that before capturing Winter City, the two sides would not have any contradictions, but after capturing it, it wouldn't be like that.
Su Xiao's purpose for coming to the Northern Border was three-fold: the first was to get benefits, the second was to reduce Duin's military strength, and the third was to see if the Void Tree Fruit was in Winter City, that is, in the hands of the Polar Ice Lord.
At present, the main forces of the Northern Border and Duin had started a comprehensive war on the front-line main battlefield. Not only that, the reinforcements of both sides were also arriving at the main battlefield one after another.
In this way, the goal of dragging down Duin's main force had been achieved. As for reducing the number, it was not needed at all. When Su Xiao attacked Duin's Royal Capital, whether those soldiers on the main battlefield were dead or alive was not important. They wanted to return to reinforce the Royal Capital, but they couldn't do it in a short while.
Solving the Holy Emblem Knights was the primary goal at the moment. As long as this cavalry with strong mobility was annihilated, Su Xiao could set off for Duin's Royal Capital.
Thinking of this, Su Xiao decided to attack Winter City with the Holy Emblem. This was the most effective and fastest means to complete the plan at the moment.
"That's right, as long as our two sides capture Winter City, the enemy army will inevitably be in chaos. By then, the rear troops can break into the Northern Border in one fell swoop. After defeating the Northern Border, then we can..."
"Then we can turn around and beat the Chaos Legion?"
Baha suddenly took the conversation, and Turt was choked quite badly.
"Of course not, we are allies."
When Turt said the word 'allies', the expression on his face was serious. Betraying allies would have a strong sense of guilt, but having just been stabbed in the back by an ally, then betraying them didn't have much psychological pressure. Instead, it was a bit pleasant.
"Right, we are allies."
Baha's tone was extremely sincere. If it weren't for the 'Backstabbing Blade' still stuck in Turt's back, he might have really believed it.
Wolf Cavalry Legion + Holy Emblem Knights, the total military strength was close to one million. One must know that this was an elite unit, and individual combat power was a large section stronger than ordinary soldiers.
Before clashing with the Heavy Hammer unit, Turt had tried to rush out of the Ice Wind Belt to raid the rear Winter City.
Unfortunately, he didn't rush over. There were too many defensive lines along the way. As long as he was blocked for a while, the surrounding garrison troops would swarm over. Added to the fact that there was a Heavy Hammer unit in the Ice Wind Belt at that time, the Holy Emblem Knights of course didn't dare to rush into the rear of the Northern Border completely, as they would be stabbed in the chrysanthemum by the Heavy Hammer unit.
Now that there was the assistance of the Wolf Cavalry Legion, it was another concept. Two elite units charged together, added to the fact that there was no Heavy Hammer unit in the Ice Wind Belt, there was no need to worry about the pain from the rear.
As long as they charged fast enough, it was not impossible for both sides to kill all the way to Winter City. After arriving at Winter City, one side would attack the city, and the other side would guard in the back, blocking the pursuing enemy troops and helping the siege team drag down the time.
One side attacked the fortress, one side blocked the enemy, and who should attack the fortress was a big problem, because the siege team not only had to attack Winter City, but if the 'allies' in the rear backstabbed at this time, the siege team would be attacked from front and back, and would be killed through in minutes.
"Bai Ye, from the battle just now, it can be seen that the Wolf Cavalry Legion can definitely break through Winter City."
"Can, our side is responsible for the siege."
Su Xiao threw a soul crystal fragment into his mouth, chewing slowly.
Hearing Su Xiao agree so readily, Turt's heart skipped a beat, and he began to think about whether there were any omissions.
"Set off."
"Wait."
Turt smelled the taste of a conspiracy. He wouldn't jump into the same pit a second time. When ambushing the Heavy Hammer unit before, the other party had also agreed very readily. Therefore, there must be fraud in this matter.
"How about, our side is responsible for the siege? You guys are responsible for blocking the enemy?"
"Can also."
Su Xiao's reply was still very crisp. He already had a general plan in his brain. If his side attacked the fortress, after successfully breaking through Winter City, he would send Turt a big gift.
If his side blocked the enemy, after Turt in front broke the city, he would surround and attack the Holy Emblem Knights from behind.
That's right, Su Xiao's plan was so simple. Turt was good at strategy and tactics, but he was not an old schemer. To deal with this kind of person, use the simplest way, and then let the other party think wildly, thereby misleading himself.
"This..."
Turt touched his chin, glanced at Su Xiao, and decided to choose the siege. After all, the blocking side in the rear could also be attacked from front and back. The formation was basically:
Winter City → Holy Emblem Knights → Wolf Cavalry Legion → Enemy reinforcement troops.
Regardless, the Holy Emblem Knights and the Wolf Cavalry Legion were both sandwiched in the middle.
"Determined?"
"Determined."
Turt turned off his horse. When rushing out of the Ice Wind Belt, the troops of both sides would ride side by side, breaking through the enemy's defensive line together until they arrived at the foot of Winter City.
Turt's strategy was very simple. If it was about attacking the city, there was no unit on the continent that was more proficient than them.
The spell on the enemy's city wall was their Duin technology. Turt could destroy that thing in a short time. Once the spell was destroyed, the Holy Emblem Knights had many ways to break through the city wall.
When Turt broke through the city wall, he would immediately lead his army to rush into the city. By then, he would firmly block the gap on the city wall, block the Wolf Cavalry Legion outside the city, and let the Wolf Cavalry Legion be attacked from front and back, thereby annihilating them in one fell swoop.
Su Xiao leaped onto the back of the Demon Flame Dragon, Barbatos. As Barbatos flew up, the Wolf Cavalry Legion below began to march at high speed, and on the side was the Holy Emblem Knights. The two armies rushed toward the rear of the Ice Wind Belt.
The army had not marched very far when Su Xiao ordered to stop marching.
"What's wrong, Bai Ye."
Turt's expression was as usual, but he was a bit anxious in his heart. He had prepared everything. If the enemy didn't go and really blocked the supply unit with him here, that would be a big joke. Blocking the supply unit was just an excuse.
The Northern Border had three secret logistics units that Duin could never find. That was the main force transporting supplies. The supplies of the Northern Border were not something that could be cut off just by saying so.
"Already annihilated the Heavy Hammer unit, 15 million Imperial gold coins, 15,000 Holy silver coins."
"Eh?"
Turt's eyes were a bit dazed. For a moment, he didn't understand what Su Xiao was saying. After Physician Chief Oufu, who was bruised and swollen, whispered a few words to him, he realized.
"Bai Ye, the reward must wait until after the war..."
"Then goodbye."
Su Xiao on the dragon's back gave an order, and the whole army retreated.
"?"
Under Turt's astonished gaze, the Wolf Cavalry Legion really began to retreat. Looking at the appearance, they were going to return to the main battlefield in the rear.
Turt was a bit stupid. He and Oufu stared at each other. An officer on the side urgently contacted the Duin troops in the rear, and finally contacted Diplomat Defutton.
Through the emergency contact of the spell, Diplomat Defutton, who was in the rear, sent 15 million Imperial gold coins and 15,000 Holy silver coins to the wolf cavalry's station at the fastest speed. 100,000 wolf cavalry were stationed there.
On the dragon's back, Su Xiao was waiting for the prompt from the Reincarnation Paradise. As long as the wolf cavalry unit in the rear received the reward, he would have a prompt here. This was similar to seizing spoils of war.
【Hint: You have obtained the ownership of 15,000 Holy silver coins (not yet claimed).】
The reward was in hand, Su Xiao ordered, the whole army turned back. After a while, he saw Turt in the wind and snow.
"What are you stunned for? Let's go, let's go attack Winter City."
Baha's attitude was much more enthusiastic. After all, it had just received money. Duin was really too wealthy.
The two armies set off again. During this period, the reconnaissance units and logistics units encountered were all ignored, rushing toward the very rear of the Northern Border at full speed.
Inside Duin, Royal Capital, Wang Gong at night.
At this time, in the fourth basement level of the Wang Gong, this level was unknown to anyone except the Duin King.
In the empty room of a thousand square meters, only one elevator could reach this place. The walls were covered with spell patterns, and in the center of the room, there was a stone platform.
At the very center of the stone platform, there was a rock protrusion more than 1 meter high, on which a wooden box was placed, and a unique fluctuation was released to the surroundings.
A circle of fire basins was located at the edge of the room. These fire basins burned with flames all year round.
Gears operated, making a slight crackling sound. The elevator in the corner of the room fell, and a figure wearing a hat walked out of the elevator.
This figure took a ring from his arms, put the ring on his index finger, and walked forward with large strides. Soon, he arrived beside the stone platform in the center, looking at the wooden box on it.
"What is this? That would make the Duin King so concerned?"
The Gray Gentleman looked at the wooden box. He could feel that rashly touching this wooden box would have huge danger.
"This is an object from the outer world."
An aged voice came. I don't know when, the Duin King, who was sitting on a wooden wheelchair, had already appeared in this underground room.
"Object from the outer world?"
The Gray Gentleman was not nervous. The current situation was easy to solve; just kill his way out.
"Hmm, like you, from the outer world."
After the Duin King said this, a smile appeared on that aged face.
"Old guy, you know too much. In order not to give the Reincarnation Paradise a reason to forcibly execute me, let's get rid of you."
The Gray Gentleman took off the hat on his head,
"If you can do it, then come."
The King of Duoyin stood up from his wheelchair, and a wisp of flame gradually emerged on his body.
