Chapter Ninety-Six: The Enemy Is Coming
Gusi country.
Government Affairs Department.
Half a month has passed since the turmoil and calm in the country of Gusi.
"Yo, it looks like you're doing well!" Crow, who was dealing with government affairs, heard a voice that had not been seen for half a month, she almost did not hesitate, grabbed something on the table, and smashed it directly in the direction from which the sound came.
"Tut-tut, your way of greeting you is not good!" In the same direction as the first voice, a new voice came, and a hand was placed on Crowe's shoulder.
Crowe looked back and saw that it was Tang Dou's hateful smile.
"You still know to come back, you still know to come back! Which of us is the right one! Crow looked at Tang Dou frantically. The busiest half a month, you actually hid for half a month, and the most troublesome half a month was all avoided by you, how could there be such a shameless guy as you! ”
"Ahaha!" Tang Dou snorted, "This is to train you, you have to believe me, I will leave sooner or later, so who will support this country after I leave?" It could only be you! ”
Claw paused: "You want to go?" ”
Tang Dou shrugged: "How fresh, my agreement at that time was to quell a series of troubles caused by Aresta's death, including turmoil and attacks from other countries in the future. As long as that's done, I can get paid a good sum of money and leave this place. Why don't I go? ”
"And where do you want to go?" I don't know why, when I heard that Tang Dou was leaving, Crow always felt a little indescribable feeling in his heart.
Unconsciously, she already had a sense of attachment to Tang Dou, which was not any love, but family affection. She felt a kind of fatherly care from Tang Dou's body - although Tang Dou was just playing tricks on her from the beginning, she had to say that children who lack father's love are really easy to be distorted.
"What? You still can't bear me? Tang Dou hehehe smiled evilly.
Crow shook his head vigorously, shaking off all the feelings in his heart: "Let's get down to business, according to what you said, I have collected all the troops in the outer defense oasis, and I have also found the most trustworthy person to bury what you requested." The domestic forces are all integrated, and the seven major families are now very obedient, so what should we do next? ”
Tang Dou took Crow to the front of the map: "Now the one who is rushing to the front is the Sand Tooth Country, right?" ”
"Yes, the spies have already sent news that 50,000 troops of the Sand Tooth Country are already on the way, including 30,000 war slave soldiers and 20,000 regular troops of the Sand Tooth Country. In addition, the other five countries almost all sent troops of about 1,000 people to hang far behind the Sand Tooth Country, and the intention was obvious! Crowe snorted.
"If the Sand Tooth breaks our defenses, those people will be allies of the Sand Tooth Nation. If the Sand Tooth Country loses, they will pounce on the Sand Tooth Country, what a good calculation! Tang Dou said with a smile.
"We now have less than 30,000 troops, and before we fought very hard with the Vengeances, killing thousands of elites, and then you destroyed the Edley, Mutu and Zalaro families, and the total loss of their troops reached 20,000. So we don't have enough troops now! Crowe was a little worried.
"We don't have enough troops to defend now, how can we fight this battle?"
In a regular siege war, generally speaking, the attacking side must have 1.5 times more troops than the defending side to be able to defeat it, and if it is such an easy to defend and difficult to attack a strong city, it is common for the attacking side to have three times more people.
But in Arsa this is not the case. Even the Seven Great Powers don't have the ability to build city walls - the materials for building houses are not necessarily enough, where are the materials for building city walls?
Therefore, the siege of Arsa is a field battle, if the defending side has a superiority in troops, it will take the initiative to attack and block the enemy from the oasis, and if the troops are insufficient, they must also hold the major vital places of the oasis.
Then use the advantage of the defensive equipment to resist.
If the outer defense line is breached, then use the castles of the major families in the country to continue the resistance.
This is the form peculiar to the siege of Alsa.
But now there are not as many combatable troops in the country of Gus as there are troops in the first expeditionary force of the country of Sand Tooth.
In fact, there should be 100,000 usable soldiers in the kingdom of Gus, but the problem is the destruction of two families and the weakness of four families, which creates a gap in the army that can only occur in Arsa - because of the slave contract, when the slave owner dies, the war slave who contracts with him will also die.
This is the cruelty and absoluteness of the slave contract.
Therefore, when the two families were destroyed and the backbone of the four families suffered heavy casualties, the war slave soldiers also died in batches.
This is the fundamental reason why the Gusi Kingdom can only come up with 30,000 troops now.
"Don't worry about the problem of troops, I have a way! And this kind of thing is fighting, as long as it is shameless enough, the difference in strength can be compensated! Tang Dou smiled cheaply.
"Shameless?" Crowe was confused.
"Call all the patriarchs of the major families, I have a task for them!" Tang Dou waved his hand, interrupting Crow's guess.
Half an hour later, all the patriarchs of the twelve families of the current Gusi Kingdom came to gather in the government affairs hall.
"Everyone, I think you also know that the Sand Tooth Country is already on the way, 50,000 male soldiers, the fastest three days later, the slowest five days later, they will definitely appear. It should be clear to everyone that if other countries come to attack us, then you can think about the surrendered flowers, but it is the Sand Tooth people who come, and they also have a crystal-level powerhouse who died with us. So you should know better than me what you will face if you lose! ”
"According to our statistics, we only have 30,000 available soldiers now, and more than 4,000 are wounded soldiers. So what can you do now? ”
As soon as Tang Dou came, he threw the problem in front of everyone.
Twelve family patriarchs, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say for a while.
Among them, the patriarchs of seven families were completely quails, without even raising their heads. They are the ones of the original revenge faction, it is because of the civil strife they provoked before, so they are like this, at this time they are all greatly damaged, and they are "guilty people" one by one, of course, they can only be people with their tails between their legs.
"Lord Nicholas. I'm a rough man, I don't know what those things are, but one thing, even if our family fights to the last soldier, the last person left, and the last drop of blood is shed, we will fight for the lord of the country! Ryan, the patriarch of the Reynolds family, one of the die-hard families of Crowley, patted his chest and said in a rough voice.
This guy is the Beamon clan in the demon clan, and it is said that he is a mixed-race descendant of the Giant Roar Clan, although he is not as powerful as the Giant Roar Clan, but in terms of personal force, he is definitely the strongest in the same level among the demon clan. Even the current Demon Clan, the Royal Clan, the Tiger Clan, and the Lion Clan are not their opponents.
The only pity is that the Beamon clan is an absolute rare breed in the demon clan, and the total number of people in the whole clan may not exceed three hundred. If it weren't for the fact that each of them had a fairly long lifespan (thousand years of lifespan), and that they could intermarry with other demon clans and maintain their pure blood, they would have been wiped out long ago.
Ryan was once known as the third best player in the country of Gus - the first and second were naturally Crowley and Aresta.
Although Ryan is only platinum level three, but if you want to change to an ordinary platinum level seven, you may not be able to beat him, the fury of the Beamon clan is extremely fierce than the monster's battle spirit, although it is not as perverted as the giant roaring beast that is known as invincible in close combat, high attack, high defense, high agility and infinite endurance, but its high attack and high defense are also enough to repel a lot of enemies.
At least before Tang Dou, Ryan dared to claim to be the first person in melee combat in the country of Gus, even if Crowley wanted to fight purely with him in close combat, it would be a tie at most.
Ryan is Crowley's die-hard loyalist, and he is the right-hand man cultivated by Crowley, the only problem is that this guy is good at personal strength, but he is not good at running a family, so although he himself is the third master of the Gus country, his family is not strong, and he can only rank in the middle and lower of the twelve families.
Contrary to Ryan, Crowley's other henchman, Halle Becca, is a strong woman who is not strong in personal strength, but is extremely good at family development. Halle Becca not only controls the entire family as a woman, but also makes the Becca family the original third and now the first family in the kingdom of Gus.
"Lord Nicholas, Ryan is right, no matter how much our subordinates say, it's useless, it's better for the adults to give orders directly!" Harley smiled slightly, surviving Tang Dou with a scrutinizing gaze.
She still doesn't trust Tang Dou, although she is absolutely obedient to Crowley's orders, but she doesn't trust Tang Dou.
Tang Dou clapped his hands: "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll talk about my plan!" ”
When Tang Dou clapped his hands, several guards brought up a huge sand table, which was the sand table map of the Gusi Kingdom.
"My plan is very simple, use these dozen oases to block the Sand Tooth people from the periphery, even if they can pass through the periphery oasis in the end, I will let them take off a few layers of skin!" Tang Dou's plan was not called a plan at all, and after he spoke, everyone was stunned.
Hallie's eyes flashed: "Lord Nicholas, haven't you forgotten that all our current troops are already a little stretched just to defend the country, and we have to disperse our forces to the outer oasis?" Doesn't that give the Sandtooths a chance to break through one by one? ”
"Of course, if we rush out so recklessly, it will definitely be a dead end, but I have my own plan, all you need to do is follow my orders." Tang Dou waved his hand.
Hallie frowned slightly: "My lord, this is not good!" ”
"What's wrong, okay, I'm calling you here to inform you, prepare your troops, hand them over to Crow for management, and when the Sand Tooth Country arrives at the outer oasis in two days, I'll start the operation. Now you stand down, well, Harry's and Ryan's are here to stay! Tang Dou ignored the puzzled gazes of others and sent off the guests with a cup.
Only Hallie and Ryan stayed.
"Your Excellency, you're going to treat us like human beings." Harley smiled playfully.
This kind of obvious "you are not my confidants, so I will not tell you the details" shows the absolute information about Ryan and Hallie on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also roasts these two people on the fire.
"Anyway, you don't intend to betray the lord, so you don't have anything to lose by doing this, do you?" Tang Dou smiled.
"Mistress Nicholas is right. Ryan will follow the Lord of the Nation for the rest of his life, no matter what happens! Ryan patted his chest.
Harley was speechless for her partner who had no power and no brains, and shook her head helplessly: "So, Lord Nicholas, what do you have to say?" ”
"Come, I'll take you somewhere!" Peng Yu beckoned to the two of them, and called Crow, who had been installing statues on the side, and several people came to the back of the government affairs hall, where there was a rune array full of dark aura.
"This is ......" Harley frowned at the sight of the rune array, "Demon rune!" ”
"Alright, don't pretend!" Tang Dou laughed, "You still don't know what this is?" Didn't Aresta tell you when she was alive? Magic Teleportation Array. That's one of my hole cards, if we use this, with a thousand of the most elite warriors, to sneak up on the people of the Sand Tooth Country, what do you think will happen? ”
Tang Dou's face was full of the light of murder and arson.
Ryan's eyes lit up, too.
"What you asked us to put in the outer oasis before is the corresponding teleportation array rune disk?" Hallie understood immediately.
Tang Dou shrugged noncommittally: "What do you say?" ”
He wasn't surprised that Crowe had asked Hallie to do these things, and he probably couldn't have found someone more reliable than Harley and Ryan.
"Come on, let's try it out, there's something else to show you there!" Tang Dou waved his hand and let the three of them follow him onto the demonic teleportation array.
After everyone stood up, Tang Dou entered soul power under his feet, and then everyone felt that there was a white mist in front of them, and when they looked again, they had already come to an oasis.
"Outer Oasis No. 9!" Harley recognized it at once, "It's really a magic teleportation array!" ”
Tang Dou smiled mysteriously.
Demonic teleportation array? Of course, it's fake, but it's just a transfer made by using the Source of Life space. The things that Harley sent people to bury in the outer oasis were actually rune disks that located the exit of the Source of Life space, and Tang Dou just brought people to the Source of Life space in an instant, and then came out of the positioning disk through the Source of Life space.
If it was before, Tang Dou might still be afraid of revealing any flaws, but now that he has obtained the inheritance of the Nine Spirits Rune, he has modified the fake Demon Teleportation Array again, unless there is really a guy who has used the Demon Teleportation Array, otherwise no one can see through this thing.
