Chapter 8: Insects

Atremilai City, majestic terrain, surrounded by mountains on both sides, solid rock walls comparable to giants, absolute magical defensive walls covering the entire city, easy to defend and difficult to attack terrain and perfect fortification measures, so that Atremilai City has the reputation of 'Xuanwu City', is one of the most difficult castles on the continent to conquer, if it were not for the defeat of the demons at that time, low morale, and fatigued body is really unbearable to fight, Atremilai City will never easily fall into the enemy's territory, and now, ' The Xuanwu City 'Atamirai is like a tenacious hard-armored giant tortoise, with a big thorn in the middle of the entrance of the northeast demon clan and the Central Plains, with teeth and claws, hard as a shield. The pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info The 3 clan coalition forces are heavily assembled, practicing day and night, and the intention is very obvious, that is, they will use Artemirai City as the combat base for the final decisive battle between the two armies, go deep into the north, completely eliminate the remnants of the demon clan, and unify the continent.

"We are now in such a predicament, lacking resources, unable to fight for a long time but unable to attack, we can only watch the enemy's strength continue to accumulate and grow, very passive." Bao gave Reed a detailed introduction to the biggest difficulty of the current situation on the battle map, Reed pinched his chin and listened quietly, and after carefully studying the map, he looked up and said to Bao, "It is indeed a hard bone to gnaw, not to mention the huge disparity in the strength of the two armies, the terrain, logistics, and morale are not at the same level at all, well, do you want to counterattack the coalition army, is there only one entrance to the city of Artemelai?" ”

"Yes, there is only one way to go."

"And what does this large area next to it mean?" Reed pointed to the corner of the map and asked Bao, who saw where Reed's finger stopped, the pupils of his eyes suddenly shrank, and he replied with a serious expression, "That's it, it's the territory of the Zerg, and it has always been." ”

"Zerg?"

"Yes, the Zerg, a mysterious and powerful race, according to the records on the royal family's information, for some reason, since the day the empire existed, the Zerg has been entrenched in that area, never moved, and never expanded to other places, it seems that we demons have always maintained a neutral attitude, so our demons have been at peace with it for two thousand years. About 100 years ago, the imperial royal family had a whim, trying to further contact and understand the Zerg, but the envoy team just entered the territory, it was hit by the destruction of the Zerg, the royal family did not give up, and sent 2 messengers in batches, still treated as extremely unfriendly as the previous time, the imperial royal family finally couldn't bear it, and officially ordered a crusade against the Zerg, the main force of the empire 50,000 troops entered the big forest of the Zerg, and after advancing about 50 kilometers, they were defeated by the Zerg in one fell swoop, and almost the whole army was wiped out, Only a very small number of logistics troops survived, so the crusade was officially declared a failure, and finally the royal family had to order the citizens of the empire not to come within 10 kilometers of the Zerg territory, in disguised recognition of the independent status of the Zerg. ”

"Well, do you think the Zerg are a group of intelligent creatures?"

"There should be, during the crusade war, the Zerg used the tactics of dispersing our army and breaking each other, and the Zerg is strictly disciplined, and there has never been a single insect that has left the territory for half a step, and it is initially estimated that someone is manipulating the command to achieve it."

"That's fine, as long as the Zerg have wisdom, they will definitely pursue something, we will meet their needs, combine with the Zerg to form an alliance against the coalition forces, at least, and obtain the strategic purpose behind allowing our troops to pass through the border and bypass the city of Artemele to attack the coalition forces."

"However, we don't have many troops to take this risk, and the last time the 50,000 troops did nothing, now it is even more ......"

"How can it be compared, last time it was a war of aggression, this time the purpose is a strategic alliance, and besides, I don't need any troops, just go alone."

Bao didn't answer Reed again, just quietly looked at Princess Fia on the throne, Princess Fia frowned deeply, pondered for a moment, and agreed to Reed's proposal, "Yes, the matter of the alliance with the Zerg is worth a try, now with more strength, we have a better chance of victory, but you must bring your subordinates to go together, my request is safety first, alliance second, even if you can't complete the task, at least you have to return safely, before the decisive battle with the coalition forces, we can no longer have any loss of combat power, understand?" ”

"Okay, then I'll go and prepare for the departure now, General Ba'o, before we come back, please be sure to hold on, storming the enemy's main defensive fortress can only be used as a last military means, our goal is to revive the entire empire, if we fight with the enemy in the first level, then the restoration of the country will undoubtedly be the biggest joke in the history of the demon race."

After Reed finished speaking, he left the room, Bao waited for Reed to leave far away, turned around and asked Princess Fia, "Princess, why did you agree to the request of the Demon General, the strength of the Zerg is very strong, and it is extremely repulsive to any intruder who enters the territory, I don't believe that they will treat the Demon General differently because of the status of the Demon General, and the Demon General's trip may be very dangerous." ”

"Bao, your tactical command ability is impressive, but it's a pity that your grand strategy and political vision seem very immature, otherwise you will definitely be like your father who died honorably, and become the leading general of the demon clan. You can imagine that 5 lives in exchange for at least 30,000 Zerg allies, or a chance to sneak up on the enemy's back, this is definitely a very valuable investment, taking a step back, if Reed can't get out of the Zerg blow, then he is a completely unqualified combat unit, and there is nothing sad about sacrificing a waste. ”

"However, General Emma is also in the ranks......"

"From the perspective of the Empire, whether it is Reed, Emma, or even us, we are all the combat resources of the Empire, there is no difference at all, you remember, in terms of political strategy and the battlefield rules you learned, don't bring in any personal feelings, we are just tools to fight for the Empire, units with their own duties, and contributing all our strength to the Empire is the only purpose of our existence. This is what your father taught me since I was a child, and he didn't want you to be exposed to too much about the dark side of human nature, so he just asked you to devote yourself to learning the tactics of a righteous knight, but now, for the revival of the Empire, I must teach you to use all means to defeat the enemy as much as possible, and you must sacrifice your knightly glory in exchange for the survival of more Imperial warriors, Bao, are you willing? ”

"I am willing, I, Bao, will swear to follow the princess to the death, swear allegiance to the Nicholo Empire, for the sake of the empire's tomorrow, I am willing to sacrifice everything, long live the Nicoro Empire!"

Bao Ao's father is the best general of the Demon Clan, and he is also the enlightenment teacher of Princess Fia, in the resource war, in order to cover the safe evacuation of Princess Fei Ya, he died in the defense of the imperial capital ten years ago, and after that, Bao took over his father's position and officially became the chief of staff of the Demon Clan. The two most proud students of Bao during his lifetime were his son Bao and Princess Fia, who taught Princess Fei the art of scheming, but hoped that his son Bao could become an upright person and a respected person, so he tried to train Bao to be a kind and proud knight. If it was in a peaceful era, I believe that Bao would definitely be able to become the most chivalrous nobleman, but unfortunately, the war deprived Bao of the right to fulfill his father's wish, and under the inducement of Princess Fia, he finally chose to abandon the dignity and glory of knighthood, step by step towards the abyss of depravity, and finally became the 'Hell General' who terrified the entire Rabbi El continent......
