Chapter 90 VII The Port of Arizana

In fact, Li Tianhao was not the only one who was excited about the upcoming war, but almost all of the generals in Palchi were eager to try it - it was not only Li Tianhao who felt at a loss after the destruction of Yaqi, but these generals who had been galloping on the battlefield for many years also felt lonely and unbearable. It's just that they still have the task of training troops and garrisoning the border on their shoulders, so they have to wait patiently.

After last year's fighting, the port of Arisianda has not fully returned to its pre-war appearance, but with the implementation of Li Tianhao's battle plan, the port has become lively again. Despite all the actions disguised as commercial activities, the sudden increase in cargo and personnel gave the port a sudden boom.

Due to the large number of Yaquies who had tried to flee by ship during the previous capture of Aricenta, in order to stop them, the Palcian army had to sail the ships that had just captured from the harbor out of the harbor to intercept them, and in the process both sides suffered a lot of casualties, especially in terms of ships, and not a single warship remained in the port of Arizianta, and now only about fifty merchant ships of various sizes and two new warships were left in Palci's hands. With the loading capacity of these ships, the sailors could barely carry more than 3,000 men, and it was not easy to conquer a fortress that was known for its fortification. For this reason, Li Tianhao's requirements for the personnel of this operation are very strict, and all the soldiers participating in the operation are the best among the troops, especially the number of Nubian mercenaries. Due to the limited space and the impossibility of bringing cavalry, Nubian mercenaries who were known for their bravery and physical fitness became the first choice among the infantry.

In the selection of generals, Li Tianhao is also striving for excellence. In order to prevent the Arubanians from taking the opportunity to attack, Li Tianhao asked Gurnas, Dara, Zaran, Tatar, and Jimda to lead a large army to tightly defend the border area between the two countries; Since Senas and Eglius were far away in Port Portsmo, and Port Portsmo also needed to guard against the attack of Arubania from the sea, Li Tianhao only ordered them to be on strict guard to prevent hostile acts in Arubana; Among the remaining generals, Li Tianhao selected the three Nubian warriors of Agobar, Word, and Zukar, as well as the returning Muller, Hector and Alam, leaving Weisong, Brooks, Elaine, and Chikelda to sit in the rear to dispatch the overall situation, with Yamo in charge of intelligence transmission, and Mokadu to act with the army.

In addition, due to Elda's arrival, Li Tianhao will certainly not let go of this natural naval commander, and this maritime operation is partly entrusted to Elda. Elda also specially transferred three generals from the port of Maranster, who were born as pirate leaders, Baian, Misheva and Corngil - although there was no way to move the ships from the port of Maranster and the stronghold of the Golden Court to the Sea of Diqiel, but with these three capable fleet commanders, the operation of the fleet could be greatly improved.

In order to ensure the concealment of this sortie, Li Tianhao asked all the troops to disguise themselves as merchants, sailors, and civilians, and enter the port of Arisianta in batches to stand by, while Li Tianhao himself led many generals and a small number of troops to lurk in a village fifty miles away from Arisianta. He was waiting for two things, one was for the arrival of Mueller and others, and the other was for the exact news, the withdrawal of the Arubanian army from the fortress of Barud.

The man Li Tianhao was waiting for finally arrived after he had been dormant for four days. In fact, Muller's group had already arrived day and night, because Alam showed superhuman excitement after getting the news, and the others were almost dragged by him. Therefore, with the exception of Alam, almost everyone else is a languishing and tired image.

Li Tianhao couldn't help but smile bitterly and scolded Alam: "What are you in a hurry for!" The time hasn't come yet, you see what you've boiled a few of them into? ”

Alam also had dark circles under his eyes, but they couldn't be seen on his brown skin. Especially his shiny eyes made people not believe that he hadn't closed his eyes for three days: "Boss, it's not right for you to say that." Hurry up or not late, this opportunity is fleeting, in case we can't catch up with this battle because we are so slow for a while, personal regrets are secondary, if you miss the boss of your big event will not be good. When the time comes, others will talk about the boss, you can't do things without my Alam help, so why should I be embarrassed. ”

"It's true that I'm back as a diplomatic envoy, and it seems that this mouth has evolved to the point of Brooks. If you're so capable, why don't you make a good use of your power in Arubania? Li Tianhao said with a disgusted face.

Alam pretended to be hurt and said, "Boss, you really hurt our group of people by saying that." No matter how sharp my mouth is, it is far from being as powerful as my sword, and as your proud disciple, I will definitely defend your reputation with my sword instead of my mouth! ”

"Gotta get it, don't talk nonsense. It's not time to attack yet, so you guys should go and rest! I don't want to take a few listless people on board. ”

"Gotta order, boss, then I'll rest." Alam made a hasty salute and ran out in a few steps.

Hector followed, apparently too tired to speak more. However, Mueller took a step forward and said to Li Tianhao: "Young master, do you know the reason behind Alam's excitement? ”

Li Tianhao was stunned by his question, and said, "Isn't it because you've been idle for too long?" ”

Mueller waved his hand lightly and said, "Young master, you want to fork in." He was so excited because he knew that Senas and Eglius would not be able to participate in the operation. Not only is there less of two fierce rivals to grab credit, but he will definitely show off this action to those two in the future, is there anything more exciting for him than this? ”

Li Tianhao touched his chin and said, "So that's the case, it makes sense." But then again, it seems like you're starting to talk a lot. ”

When Mueller heard this, he just turned around and walked out casually, but said: "The subordinates only took a back seat because of Aram jumping up and down on the young master's face, and if the two of us join forces, it seems that it is not fair to the young master." ”

The rest of the room was a little surprised when they heard Müller's words, because the man they knew Müller had always been a taciturn and down-to-earth man, which was very different from what he looks like today. Only Li Tianhao smiled shallowly when he heard this, because in fact, this was the original state of Muller - Muller was known for his poisonous tongue by his side, and it was only because of his father's death that Muller fell into deep self-blame that his personality changed. Today's words show that with Li Tianhao's revenge, the knot in Mueller's heart is gradually unraveling, which is really a great joy for Li Tianhao. (To be continued.) )
