"Well, how do you say that?"

Bowen. Courtney's heart lit up, it seems that there are still people who want to go with him, Mandalay must be taken, the problem is how to take it and hold it, there are only a few castles near the capital of Mandalay that are not considered fortresses, it is estimated that after the Molaika Empire enters Mandalay, it does not take into account that their side will counterattack from the Buchar River, it can be seen from the performance of the Molaika Imperial army in the Hassan Valley, they have no mental preparation at all, thinking that the army is finished if it advances here, But they never imagined that their own troops were watching nearby.

"If we wipe out this gang of guys in the valley, especially this group of cavalry, and then immediately march to Mandalay and catch them by surprise, I think we are still somewhat sure, but it will be a little difficult to hold Mandalay, and the Moleka Imperial army will soon overwhelm us."

The Half-Elven Crossbowman Leader is a handsome man in his thirties, and these mixed races have always been able to draw on the strengths of both the paternal and maternal lines, and this appearance alone sets them apart from the others.

Bowen. Courtney is also thinking about this problem, sixty kilometers from Hassan Valley to Mandalay, if the troops march in a hurry, it will be possible to arrive in about four magic hours, now start to deal with these guys in the valley, and then take a short break to prepare, and then march quickly into Mandalay, it is just late at night, it is just right to fight a surprise battle, and the soldiers under his command should recover after resting on the ship for two or three days, just in time to break out again.

"Are you crossbowmen okay?" Bowen. Courtney asked with concern.

Among the aliens. Although the physique of the half-elf is slightly stronger than that of the pure-blooded elf, it is still quite a gap compared to the half-orc.

"No problem, just wait for the adults to give an order, and the brothers can act at any time!" The Half-Elven Commander replied confidently.

"Very good, then stay for a while, some of you will firmly seal the valley mouth for me, so that not a single mosquito can fly out for me." Bowen. Courtney gritted his teeth.

He glanced around at the officers who were staring at him. Bowen. Courtney felt that he was suddenly much more emboldened. With so many passionate soldiers, what are you afraid of? Is it really that the more you live, the more timid you become? I think that when the group first entered the Cordillera, they didn't look forward to it like this, and only thought about protecting the lord desperately. Become a true knight...... Come to think of it. Lian Bowen. Courtney himself felt his face hot.

"Hmm. Now we can't take care of much, the lord wants us to defend Mandalay, and he doesn't even think about how quickly these rabbit cubs of the Moreka Empire will come. But we've all come. Then you have to bite the bullet...... Not only to go down, but also to walk beautifully.

Mandalay must be taken, and we must hold it, the bunnies of the Molaika Empire now think that they are coming, and they can sit back and relax, then let us tell them that trampling on other people's gardens without permission will be beaten, and there will be a price!

The lord awaits news of our victory, she has prepared a rich reward for us, half of the Mandalay treasury will belong to us, and we are about to make history......"

Bowen. Courtney tried to imagine how Hathaway would have stirred up the fighting spirit of the soldiers on such occasions, for those orc warriors who saw no reward for anything but Jinkla, and for whom honor was more important than golden.

Simple and affordable rewards are far better than those illusory promises, then make Mandalay's treasury the biggest goal of his army, as long as he can take Mandalay, I believe that Lord Hathaway will not spare this treasury, as for the so-called gold inventory does not exist, it is not a matter of his own consideration, and he can survive it.

With mental calculation or not, just when the troops of the Molaika Empire were resting, the overwhelming rockets covered the entire camp almost instantly, and the Moreka soldiers who were still in ignorance were like headless flies, panicking around the camp, accompanied by a dense rain of arrows, layer by layer along the undulating terrain of the valley shrouded the fleeing Molaika soldiers.

Extreme fatigue and the fact that the Moreca soldiers, who had just fallen asleep and were in a semi-dazed state, were unable to organize effective resistance, and they did not even know from which direction the enemy was attacking, and the few scouts sent were immediately dealt with by the prepared Cordillera soldiers, and the ensuing massacre was completely one-sided.

When the rain of spears of the orc soldiers returned to the scattered formation of the Moreca army, the commander of the enemy army finally realized that there was no suspense in this war, whether it was in terms of preparation, combat effectiveness and quantity, his army was completely different from the other party, and it was pointless to persist any longer except to increase casualties...... He sensibly chose to surrender.

When it took only two spells from the beginning to the end of this raid, none of the 2,000 Moreca soldiers escaped the net, and in addition to more than 800 soldiers who were killed in the battle, almost all of the remaining 1,200 soldiers were wounded.

The half-elven crossbowmen were resolute in their execution. Cornnett's orders sealed off the area around the valley...... Several scouts attempted to escape from the Hassan Valley to report the news, but their thoughts were completely cut off by arrows, and four scouts were crucified in the valley mouth and the nearby hillside, and despite their best efforts, the god of fate was not on their side.

Wipe off a handful of sweat from your forehead, Bowen. Cornett was relieved.

These soldiers, who had just walked out of the training base, really lived up to their expectations, and crushed the confidence of the Moreca army in one fell swoop, especially after the baptism of throwing guns, they did not hesitate to charge, completely destroying the enemy's determination to hold on...... In the face of the fierce orc warriors, the Moreca army still subconsciously had a sense of fear. Especially when they are still at a disadvantage in numbers and situation, it is indeed too difficult to get them to muster up the courage to fight to the end.

But Bowen. Cornnett knows that this is only the beginning, and the real trouble is in the second half.

There was not much suspense in the battle of the Hassan Valley, but no one expected that this battle would be so easy, perhaps because the smooth sailing of the Molaika army had carried them away a little, so that they looked like they had come for a long outing, forgetting that their mission was to fight.

But the next battle of Mandalay will be quite difficult...... The three castles are not fortresses, but they still have some basic fortifications. There is no doubt that the Moleka people have taken control of the three castles.

If they are left to control these three castles. The defensive force of 3,000 people, even if their own number is twice that of the opponent, is not easy to capture. And if you want to recapture these three castles, you can only avoid frontal offensive and defensive battles...... Other words. Attack the castle without the opponent's defense. Only then can it be successful. Otherwise, even if you occupy the whole of Mandalay, it will be in vain.

"What do you think?"

Bowen. Cornett looked at his subordinates who were still busy cleaning up the battlefield and suddenly asked, he had begun to learn to ask for advice like Hathaway...... As Hathaway said, brainstorming is much more useful than one's mind.

The leader of the half-elven crossbowmen was stunned for a moment. only to realize that the main general was asking for his own opinion. He hesitated for a moment before saying: "We have achieved the first point, we have not let anyone slip through the net, and the next thing should be to fight the Knosso army in Mandalay by surprise, only by capturing the three castles on the outskirts of the city, we will have a chance to hold on, otherwise we will not have the slightest chance." ”

"Well, how do you take three castles? You wouldn't think they were so stupid that they didn't even know how to control those three castles? ”

"Of course not, but judging by the current situation, the people of Moreca are arrogant...... There is even a little bit of a feeling that they have not entered a real state of war, looking at their performance in this battle, it can be said that they are completely unprepared for war, that is to say, they do not realize that we are also marching here at the same time, maybe they have always thought that we will engage them on the front line of Pillsburg, and this is of course their rear base. ”

The eloquence of the leader of the half-elven crossbowmen is very good, so that Bowen. Cornett was a little envious: "Briefly, how can we take down three castles quietly now?" ”

"I'm afraid my lord already has some ideas, in fact, the method is very simple and old-fashioned, but it is often practical, how about using these armor and costumes of the Moreka Army to play a play?" The eyes of the half-elven crossbowman were as blue as diamonds.

"Well, that's probably the only way we can think of it," Bowen. Cornett bowed slightly, a smile flashing in his eyes.

Attia sat elegantly in the spacious room, good lighting, elegant design, and magnificent decoration, such a large study was beautifully arranged, Attia is not a hillbilly who has not seen the world, as a nobleman born in Molaika, he has served in the Royal Guard for nearly ten years, and finally transferred to one of the four main forces of Molaika as a senior officer in the Roaring Corps.

Just a nobleman in Mandalay could have such a unique castle, full of elegant and leisurely style, so much so that Attiyah always thought that it was a blasphemy to let these soldiers be stationed here, they should be stationed outside the castle, these castles are not fortresses, although they also have some defensive functions, but Attiyah felt that the taste of decoration was much greater than the actual effect.

Three beautiful castles are zigzag around the low hills on three sides of Mandalay City, surrounded by greenery and shaded trees, and the faint sunset on the hills outside the castle adds to the magnificence.

Attia did not expect these Mandalay people to be so cowardly, and when they learned of the entry of the Moreka army, they scattered in a hurry, and fled to the surrounding area, as if they did not care about the beauty and wealth they possessed, so they hurriedly gathered up some small messes and fled, and abandoned their homeland.

It is certain that these guys definitely belong to the opposition to the empire entering the entire control area, so it is just right that the escape confirms their hostility and dissatisfaction with the Molaika Empire, and in this way, the three castles that are like works of art can just fall into their own hands, and they have to think about it, in addition to this fantastic castle, who should the remaining two castles be given to?

Attia thought to herself, fortunately she didn't let the soldiers into the castle, otherwise with the rude behavior of those guys, even the best works of art would have been ravaged by them until only a pair of bricks remained.

While Attia was agonizing over who the remaining two castles would be given to, Bowen. Kaunnett's army was marching at a frantic pace from the Hassan Valley to Mandalay.

Bowen. Konnit didn't have time to rest, he didn't give his subordinates any time to rest, the high-intensity march, even the half-orc soldiers were a little tired, not to mention those half-elves, although he had obtained two days of rest on the ship before, but after all, it was too short, the trek of hundreds of kilometers could not be resumed in one or two days, and now it was a battle after running, and then there was another war, which was certainly a test for the half-orc warriors, It's even more grim for a half-elf who is not as physically as good as an orc.

Before arriving in Mandalay, Bowen. Cornnett had already sent the scouts out in advance, that is...... Regardless of the feedback from the scouts, their own army must fight, and all that needs to be adjusted is to make slight changes according to the feedback from the scouts.

If the situation really turns out to be the worst...... In other words, if all three castles are controlled and guarded by the Moreca army, and they cannot be mixed in through camouflage, then this war may turn into a tragic offensive and defensive battle, which is of course Bowen. The last thing Konnette wanted to see was an outcome, but the decision was now out of his hands.

The troops advanced quite fast, almost all the way to trot, although the Molaika in the Hassan Valley were completely annihilated, but it was obviously impossible to hide from the opponent along the way, they could only complete the attack before the opponent could react, and completely won a decisive victory while the opponent was still in a state of chaos.

The scouts fed back the news that Bowen. Cornette almost fell into ecstasy, the fools actually locked up the three castles as private property, and did not even want troops to settle in, except for one castle with a small force stationed, the other two castles were simply empty castles.

Bowen. Cornnett decisively adjusted the deployment, camouflage sneak attack is no longer meaningful, that may delay the fighter, in one fell swoop to defeat the only castle defenders with a small army to take the castle, and the other two castles also only need a small army to complete the occupation, there is no need for other tricks to cover the purpose, with lightning speed thunder means is the best tactic.
