Chapter 333: Capture Heilan City
"That's a gap of 5,000!
There was surprise and a hint of concern in Mogan Keys' words.
"Yes, there's still a big gap, which is why I'm here for you, and I'm going to temporarily transfer the Ratkiller Corps to fill the gap!"
"City Lord, I don't think this is appropriate, the Rat Slayer Corps has the heavy responsibility of guarding Heilan City, how can it be easily transferred!"
As soon as the patriarch of the Kona family, Thatch Kona, heard Swift's words, and hurriedly objected.
The other three looked at Thatch and didn't speak, everyone knew what Thatch was thinking, the Kona family was mainly engaged in the salt and spice trade, and the exchanges with Giant Wood City were very common, so they attached great importance to the trade route between Black Lan City and Giant Wood City.
Although the Red Rat Tribe has been attacking Jumu City, but due to the location, the Red Rat Tribe can actually bypass the defense line of the Rat Blood Fortress and attack Black Lan City, so Black Lan City deployed the Rat Slayer Corps in the southwest, in addition to guarding against the threat of the Red Rat Tribe, on the other hand, it also ensures the safety of the trade route between the two giant cities.
And now that the city lord has transferred the Red Rat Tribe, the protection of Black Lan City still has the Black Lan Corps, and there is no one to guard the trade route between the two giant cities, once it is detected by the Red Rat Tribe, this trade route must be abandoned, and the business trade of the Kona family will be devastated!
This is the fundamental reason why Thatch Kona did not agree with the transfer of the Swift City Lord from the Rat Slayer.
"My lord, I think Patriarch Thatch is right, the Rat Slayer Corps has the task of guarding against the Southwest Red Rat Tribe, once the Rat Slayer Corps is transferred, then this gap will be opened, and it is hard to guarantee that the Squirrel Tribe will not turn around, abandon Jumu City, and instead attack my Black Lan City! Black Lan City is fine, it is guarded by the Black Lan Corps, but the villages below are about to suffer!"
The positioning of the Rat Slayer Corps is very important to the Kona family, and it is not bad for the other three families, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is their combined assets, and the four of them actually do not want the Rat Slayer Corps to be transferred to the Rat Blood Fortress!
You must know that once the rat blood fortress is fought, it will be extremely miserable, and if the rat slayer regiment is transferred over, the loss is absolutely inevitable.
"Hmph, since you don't agree, come up with a solution for me! Once the rat blood fortress is broken, you know the consequences!" Swift's face grew gloomy and he shouted angrily.
"Lord Castle Lord, calm your anger! In my opinion, this support for the Rat Blood Fortress is indeed an urgent matter, but it does not necessarily require 10,000 people, although 5,000 is a little less, but it is better than nothing!
And this time the rat tribe's strange behavior is not unavoidable, I suddenly thought of a possibility, is it possible that the rat tribe has not appeared for so many days, is it possible to think of attacking Heilan City from the territory of the red rat tribe! If the rat killer corps is transferred this time, this will give the rat army a chance to drive straight in! So I think it's better for the rat slayer corps not to be transferred for the time being!" Burke Mossa said seriously.
Swift was stunned after hearing this, there is indeed this possibility, the rat people have been holding their troops, it is very likely that they want to bewitch them and make them take it lightly, and then make a detour from the territory of the red rat tribe to attack Heilan City, if there is no obstruction of the rat killing corps, it is really possible to let them come to the city!
Thinking of this, the face of the city lord of Wickt changed, and then he said expressionlessly: "What Burke said is reasonable, it seems that there is indeed something inappropriate to transfer the rat killing corps away, so let's transfer the five thousand troops recruited first!"
Hearing the words of the city lord, the four of them were naturally very satisfied, and they left one after another.
Watching the four of them leave, Swift's face was cloudy, what Burke Mossa said was not impossible, so the matter of transferring out of the Rat Slayer Corps really couldn't be as hasty as it used to be.
......
A few days later, to the west of the Giant Rat City, on the banks of the wide Crocodile River.
The three major knights of Giant Rat City were lined up on the shore, and the scene was solemn, and they were waiting for Allen's arrival.
Suddenly, I saw two rays of light in the sky, red and gold, and Alan and Bahamut landed instantly.
Alan turned around, gathered his wings behind his back, and looked at the crowd, this was the first time he had appeared in front of the public with Bahamut.
Many warriors didn't react much after seeing Bahamut, after all, they didn't know what the dragon looked like, and only regarded it as the viscount's pet, while the few warriors who had this knowledge were shocked and surprised in their hearts, but they didn't make a loud noise, and the discipline of the knights must be strictly observed!
After seeing the viscount coming, Kant and Antonio hurriedly felt close.
"Lord Viscount......! Is it a legendary dragon?" Antonio said with a stiff face, the legendary dragon is now in front of him, it is too incredible for Antonio!
The other two also stared at Alan curiously, expecting his answer, the creature in front of them was almost indistinguishable from the dragon rumored in the books.
"That's right! It will help us to capture the city of Heilan this time! You can call him Bahamut!"
Bahamut glanced at the three weak fellows in front of him, then raised his head haughtily, and spread his wings, revealing his perfect body.
"The blueprints and the distribution of the forces of each party, you should already understand! This time we are going to take Heilan City directly, the city gate is in charge of me and Bahamut, Antonio, Kant, your task is to defeat the Heilan army, and then exterminate the families on the list!
And Casarte, you take the Mulan Knights to surround the entire Black Lan City, and don't let anyone out of the city!I will let Bahamut assist you!" Alan said lightly.
The families on the list are all secretly investigated by the Shadow these days, these families are the upper echelons of Heilan City, as long as these people are eliminated, there will basically be no one to hinder Alan from ruling Heilan City, among them, the four major families and the Carat family are the leaders, and these five families are in the first row of the list.
Casarte's Mulan Knights are now underequipped, in order to prevent excessive losses, Alan decided to let them surround Heilan City, in case someone escapes and reports to the outside world, the Rat Slayer Corps is not too far from Heilan City, once they learn the news, they will definitely come to help immediately!
As for letting Bahamut assist, it is to prevent people like high-level knights from trying to escape, and with the speed of high-level knights, if they are bent on escaping, the Mulan Knights who are not equipped with the Qinghuang crossbow and the giant crossbow will not be able to stop them at all.
"Yes, Lord Viscount, your subordinates will complete the task!" shouted the three of them in unison.
