Chapter 128: Lady with a Light Sigh (82)
"What, the situation is so serious?" Seeing how serious the barrier was, I also realized that the situation was not good. "Is the situation at the western barrier really that serious, how long can they hold out now, and how many reinforcements are you going to send to support them?"
Barrier I looked a little anxious: "It's hard to explain their situation now, anyway, according to the news that came five days ago, the situation of the defenders in the city is a little bad now. The number of Guards Corps that had been transferred in the past was already small, but now there are only about 10,000 left. As for the regular army, there are not many now, adding up to only about 30,000 in total. Although there are still some armed militias, they should not last long. Ma'am, the western barrier is about three days away, and I would like you to set out now, if you can. As for the army, you don't have to worry, we will send 30,000 elite guards and 40,000 regular troops to support, and we will also carry enough ordnance and food for them to use for a year. ”
I was stunned, this dispatch of the First Barrier Dynasty had a full 60,000 troops, wouldn't this cause the Immortal City's troops to be empty?"
Barrier I made an indifferent expression and said indifferently: "Don't worry, even now, we still have more than 100,000 troops who can defend our city, and the immortal city will be immortal forever!"
Despite this, I can still see some helplessness in the severity of the barrier. This is helplessness about the status quo, and this is confusion about the future. At present, although the Immortal City is still able to hold out on to resistance, but with so many defensive troops withdrawn, the garrison of the Immortal City will definitely be extremely empty. And such an emptiness of forces cannot be compensated for with confidence and unity. However, Barrier I had no choice but to do so. If there are not enough troops to support, then going is nothing more than a tactic to add fuel.
So far, the walled city to the west has been besieged on all sides by the Apostles. So, support isn't just about bringing troops to that city. The real problem is actually how to break through the blockade of the apostolic clan on the western barrier city, who knows, how many soldiers will be left after these tens of thousands of troops can really break through the defense line of these apostles and enter the western fortress city?
Therefore, even if it is these tens of thousands of soldiers, the barrier I feel that it is actually a little little. But this is also their limit, and if they increase their forces, this immortal city will be in danger. In addition, troop strength is not what Barrier I fears the most right now. The more prominent problem is actually that the subordinates of the Barrier I are actually not good enough commanders.
After the last great defeat, the most elite soldiers and commanders of the Denoma Empire, except for the Guards Regiment and the Denoma Empire, which defended the capital and other cities, were basically lost. Although the soldiers of the Denoma Empire can be replenished quickly, and the combat effectiveness will not be much weaker than the soldiers before the West. But what about commanders? Commanders are not something that can be added casually, and a truly qualified commander often needs several years or even more than 10 years of experience in warfare. Eagerness is not enough, only a sharp mind and command ability, combined with enough experience, and enough luck to become a qualified commander. The two are still qualified. But now, all the remaining fruits have been placed where they are needed, and the removal of one can cause immeasurable impact and loss.
Fortunately, the country and the Barrier I have ushered in the arrival of a being that they can call a savior. Well, it looks like it's me. Seeing that I was still hesitating, Barrier I continued: "Madam, don't hesitate any longer. Now, for every second of our delay here, one or even a hundred soldiers will die at the hands of the apostles' butcher's knives in the western walled city. Ma'am, you are the most suitable person at the moment, and you know that without you, it would be pointless for us to send as many soldiers there as we sent. Because, we lack a legion commander with sufficient experience, and we lack an arrow that can break through the encirclement of the apostles. And you, only you can take on such a role. It's just you. ”
The words of the Barrier I made me a little overwhelmed for a while. Is this really the only way to do it? But if that's the case, then I'm going to have to try to do it well. In my heart, I definitely don't want the Denoma Empire to become the territory of the Apostles like the Kingdom of Magellan and the Damus Empire. "Okay, I see. I nodded and said, "But Your Majesty, you don't need to rush it now. With such a large number of troops, it will take at least a few days to recuperate before we can go. ”
"No, not a minute or a second can be delayed. Barrier I hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, at most one day, just one day." Ma'am, trust our army, they will be ready for the next battle in a day!"
"Are you sure?" I was a little skeptical, was it really such a simple thing to move an army, but why was I a little unconvinced?" If that's the case, then fine, I'll get ready, and I'll set off right away. In addition, I will take the Tiger King and Shen Lin with me, with their help, we will definitely have no problem breaking through the defenses of the Apostle Clan to rescue the western walled city. By the way, what's the name of that city?"
"City of Armor. Barrier I was full of gratitude to me and said, "It doesn't matter what the name of the city used to be. The important thing is that from now on, that city will be transformed into a city of armor, armor that no enemy can break through. Madam, Tiger King, Shen Lin, the fate of the City of Armor and the Dnomah Empire is all on you now!"
After the Tiger King and Shen Lin glanced at each other, they showed an understanding smile: "Don't worry, the two of us will work with Lady Light Sigh to bring the City of Armor back to safety." ”
From the tone and expressions of the two of them, I could see that they were two unusually resolute determinations. Looking at them, I nodded with satisfaction. With them in their presence, what reason should I have to worry?, so I turned to the Barrier I and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we can go at any time. As long as the army is ready, we can go right away!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Barrier I burst into tears. He has finally found a savior, a savior who can neutralize the threat from the west. Nothing could surprise him more than this? I saw that he was about to pounce on me and hug me, so I quickly dodged and coughed and said, "Your Majesty, I still hope you will pay attention to the fact that I am an undead and a woman." ”
Barrier I smiled awkwardly: "This, I'm sorry, I forgot, ma'am." But from now on, I will declare to the people of all nations that the Denomah Empire welcomes any undead spirit into our country from now on, and we will also abolish the treaty with the undead world, you are our friends!"
I was taken aback by what Barrier I's words, what? Jumping and hostility towards the undead were abolished in this way? This, this is simply too strange! For us undead, this is undoubtedly a great news, because now, at last, some countries in the human world have recognized the undead as a formal state, and finally treated the undead as equals! Isn't this what we have been longing for? We just want to be treated as equals as other minorities in the human world, but we have never achieved this.
Even when we formed an alliance with those armies of the human world, because of our undead status, we and our old enemies, the Three Kingdoms of Kaiyuan, actually did not really get along for a day. And now, without saying a word, the Barrier I has established an unofficial relationship with the undead. Although it is an unofficial relationship, it is the first time for us undead. Is this what he reciprocates for us? I can't afford to pay for such a gift.
It was as if he was stunned when he saw me, and he thought that what he mentioned was not good enough. "What's wrong, ma'am?"
With a cold face, I asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by that." Do you think that we help you because we need to be paid, and we want to use this to compel you to agree to your recognition of our undead status?"
Barrier I hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Of course not, ma'am, I am thanking you from the bottom of my heart. Please don't think about it, don't think about it. If you think that's bad, then I'll take it back. ”
How can it be taken back? "Hey, what do you mean by this, as an emperor, since you have already said it, how can you take it back?"
For a while, bursts of laughter came from the scene.
Time passed slowly, and finally it was evening. Sure enough, as the Barrier I said, the army of 60,000 has been assembled. I really don't know how the Denoma Empire managed to quickly assemble a force of 60,000 men, which was a huge surprise to me. If the Danmoth Empire had such cohesion, would the Duke of Loathing think of rebellion?
The Tiger King wasn't with me, he went to the carnival. And Shen Lin told me that in fact, in the afternoon, the army had already begun to gradually assemble. In order to maintain combat effectiveness, Barrier I specially asked some soldiers who had just retired from the front-line battlefield to gather and use this time to start recuperating. Many of them didn't have time to wash the blood off their bodies before they participated in the preparations for the rescue of the armored city.
And since I had an unprecedented rest in the afternoon, it seemed like I was missing out on a lot of things. The first thing I saw when I woke up was a delicious meal prepared for me by the smiling Shen Lin. I didn't know what the taste was, but I didn't mind, and I felt heartwarming. During the time of being undead, there was never a spirit who would prepare a meal for us. But it's also said that the undead themselves don't need to eat. The only smell we undead can feel is the smell of blood.
Shen Lin invited me to a party organized by the soldiers. I don't understand that. Why are the soldiers on the city wall still on the lookout for the apostles to attack, but a huge party is organized in the city dozens of meters away? Doesn't this affect the soldiers who are in charge of guarding the city wall? Although there is no problem now, what if an accident happens?
"I'm not going. "I bypassed the venue of the giant party and returned to the city walls. At this time, there was no fighting. The Apostles seem to have made an exception and did not launch an attack on the Immortal City at night. At this time, these soldiers stationed on the city wall were also rarely relaxed. I looked at their weapons, and the Guards were more elite than the regular soldiers, and the Janissaries were more powerful in defense. But even so, the regular army world will not be jealous of the Guards, and the Guards will not look down on the regular soldiers.
It's good, they're in great shape right now. It is also because of them, and it is because of their defenses that the city has been able to remain intact until now. And I have reason to believe that they will still be able to protect the city after we leave here. They can protect the city at any time.
Standing on the city wall, I saw the Tiger King, and he is very happy now. He didn't seem to be happier in a long time. I really didn't feel so comfortable when I saw him participating in the carnival with those soldiers, and seeing that Shen Lin was not discriminated against by those soldiers because of his undead status, but got along very well. Perhaps, if there were no more wars in this world, then this would definitely be a good place to recuperate. What a wonderful place, I really don't want him to fall into the hands of the apostles. It's like my second home. It's like my second home.
