Chapter 640: Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain
Chapter 640: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain (Page 1/1)
Talos, King of Tytaria, was a lizardman who was wandering around his study with his tongue out.
The originally good situation was immediately reversed under two consecutive bad news. Deca, who originally thought that he could be able to take it all in one go, had to suspend the offensive because of the plague. And after the main force left, the backyard caught fire again, tens of thousands of captive slaves rioted, and the fortress of good mines was besieged.
"Alas, the power of Tytaria is still too weak. If you resist aggression, you can still rely on your determination to defend your home and country and the swampy terrain to contend with a strong enemy. Once it is out, all kinds of problems come. β
Talos rubbed his temples and asked the attendants beside him, "Can't the Good Mining Land Fortress be held for even three days?" In just three days, the main forces of West will be able to withdraw. β
The close attendant shook his head and said, "The other party has a giant white elephant ten meters high, with infinite strength and invulnerability. It is because of this white elephant that all of our mining areas have been destroyed by one struse. Although the fortress of the good mine is strong, the other side has this white elephant enough to offset the defensive advantage of our army. And the enemy army has more than 20,000 people, and it is said that there is also a very powerful mage, and our army only has 2,000 regular troops, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop it. β
Talos sighed, of course he understood these truths, but he just confirmed them again. He asked, "Then what do you suggest?" β
This question is equivalent to Di Renjie asking: "Yuan Fang, what do you think." In fact, he already had an idea in mind, and he just hoped that someone would help him say it.
The close attendant could only say: "The fortress of good mining land must not be lost. There are most of our craftsmen there, and there are tens of thousands of sturdy slaves and countless weapons and equipment in the city. Once the rebellious slaves have seized the mines, they will be armed enough to fight our main army head-on. Therefore, hold them off no matter what. When our main army returns, we will annihilate it under the city.
"Actually, the more than 20,000 rebellious slaves didn't have much fighting power. The most terrifying thing about the enemy is the giant elephant and a team of elite drakes. It is necessary to have a powerful weapon that can break through heavy armor to reinforce it. β
It's also difficult to be close to the waiter, and what he says must have a certain level, but not too specific, otherwise if something goes wrong, he will have to take the blame. Only some plausible nonsense can be said.
The idea of the close attendant was in line with that of Talos, so the king nodded, "Very good! Pass the order down. Let Spark lead the 5,000 Royal City Praetorian Guards to set off overnight, remember to bring the magic guide ballistas at the head of the Royal City. β
The close attendant reminded: "But if the magic guide ballista is transported, what about the defense of the royal city?" β
Talos said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? Is it possible for the enemy to fly over? Those who can fly are lightly armoured units, and my elite palace guards will teach them a lesson with bows and arrows. Okay, that's it. Go and give the order! β
The adjutant saluted and left the study.
Not long after, the elite Guards of the Royal City left the city overnight and rushed to the good mines. Several of their ballista carriages, glowing with magical brilliance, stood out at night.
Outside the royal city, along the road leading to the good mines, three figures were obscured by the shadows, watching the Tetarian army from a distance.
"Hehe, this is what you said about diverting the tiger from the mountain. These stupid lizards have been fooled. The magic ballista that threatens us is now disassembled and packed. As long as I transform now, I can burn all of these things with a single breath of dragon's breath. Onexia's voice rang out.
"There's no hurry, our goal is Talos. What if you deal with the magic ballista over here, and let that old guy run away? In addition, don't take it lightly, maybe it's in the city," Xiang Ningxuan discouraged.
"Hmmm! Well, count them lucky. Let's go and see what this royal palace of Tataria looks like. β
The walls of the royal city could not stop Onexia, Xiang Ningxuan and Amoris at all, and after the transfer of five thousand Praetorian Guards, the garrison on the periphery was also full of loopholes. The three of them easily climbed over the walls and entered the inner city.
"This, this is the royal palace of Tytaria?" Onexia pointed to a mottled and dilapidated complex of buildings, an uncertain tunnel.
The rough faΓ§ade appears to have been haphazardly piled up of stones, without any ornamentation, and some of the unimportant buildings on the periphery are covered with thatch. At the location of the suspected main entrance, there is a gate made of logs, which is decorated with the bones of various fierce beasts.
Xiang Ningxuan grinned and said, "Based on the geographical location of this building in the middle of the city, and the fact that it is taller than other buildings, I conclude that this is the Titalia Palace. β
Onexia said disdainfully: "Hmph! It's really poor. Even the royal palace is so broken. Maybe we can build him a more luxurious prison than this palace when we capture Talos. β
"We don't know where Talos lives. Moreover, there may be a secret passage to escape in the palace, and it may not be possible to catch him if you attack him now. But Talos would gather his ministers in the main hall every morning to discuss state affairs, and that was the best chance for us to intervene. β
ββββ
Although it was winter, the weather was very nice, with blue skies and white clouds, and the sun was shining. The temperature here is not low, and there are no uncomfortable cold temperatures.
But Talos tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep well, and was awakened by nightmares several times. Therefore, when he woke up in the morning, he still looked sluggish and drowsy.
He also remembered a dream in which his royal palace was burned down and he himself was captured by an evil dragon. Talos shook his head and said secretly: "With my elite guards, just a giant dragon, what can you do with me when you come?" β
Although the Imperial Guards were transferred, there were still 2,000 guards guarding the palace, and these were the most elite soldiers in the country, enough to protect the palace.
"Your Majesty, do you have a day off today?" The attendant asked.
Talos shook his head and said, "No! The state affairs are difficult, and I cannot relax for a day. Go and tell the ministers that they are in the hall on time today. β
At eight o'clock in the morning, the ministers who lived in various parts of the royal city arrived at the palace hall one after another. The majestic guard of honour lined up in the royal palace.
Dressed in fine clothes, King Talos of Tytaria set off from the palace to the main hall with a group of attendants, ready to hold a daily meeting.
A dark cloud suddenly appeared in the originally clear sky, and the surrounding attendants and guards immediately panicked.
"What's the panic? It's just a dark cloud, and you are panicking, what kind of system has become! Talos retorted.
Originally, he wanted to praise the king's calm and composed, but swallowed his words, feeling that his eyes were not good and he didn't see what was in the sky! He could only remind, "Your Majesty, that's an adult black dragon!" β
Talos stared at the old dazed eyes, and realized that it was not a dark cloud, but a dragon.
"Quick! Fast! Get me out of here. β
