Chapter 1010, The Calm Before the Storm
System Prompt: Celestial Empire player 'Luo Ji' launches an all-out war against you!
With this system prompt without any emotional fluctuations, John Sal's ears rang, and at that moment, he jumped directly from his throne in shock.
"Ha ?!!!"
This sudden suddenness almost stunned all the courtiers below.
But at this moment, John Sal is not in the mood to care at all.
Since he fought with Luo Ji, until now, he has been inexplicably scared.
Although it is not uncommon for players from rival alliances to fight together during the war between the two alliances, even the gold-level declaration of war has been used? As for it?! Is that Celestial Empire player named Luo Ji sick in the brain?!
Things have come to this point, and no matter how crazy John Sal is, it is obviously useless.
In the sky, a crimson two-tailed comet pierced the sky, and at that moment, the heavens and the earth changed, and the territories of Luo Ji and John Sal were invisibly connected, and the battlefield of all-out war had begun!
At this moment, Luo Ji, who was sitting in the main city, quickly opened the system map.
At this moment, the territory of his Ten Thousand Realms Civilization was undoubtedly brought to a brand-new battlefield by the system, and beyond the territorial range, the vision of the south, east, west, and northwest was pitch black.
This first step is undoubtedly the need to open up a wave of vision.
Without any hesitation, the four warrants were sent directly to the four borders, ordering them to send scouts to reconnoitre.
During this period, according to Luo Ji's order, the troops of each city also entered a state of readiness.
At the same time, John Saar, on the other side, made the same arrangement almost at the same time.
Obviously, he is also experienced in the area of total war.
After a month, they all figured out each other's locations, and in this battle, the location of the dwarven civilization was located in the west of his Ten Thousand Realms civilization.
However, no one on either side was in a hurry, and the period of time when the battlefield had just unfolded, under that tense atmosphere, it was surprisingly quiet.
It was like the last calm before the storm.
Luo Ji is not in a hurry for this week or two, there is only one thing he has to do now, and that is to continue to mobilize troops to the border!
And John Saar, on the other side, is obviously even less likely to be in a hurry.
He didn't plan to take the initiative, since this all-out war was launched by Luo Ji, it showed that the other party's offensive intentions were stronger than him.
In the case of confirming this, he only had to arrange the fortifications while waiting for the attack from the other side.
In this way, he can still occupy the advantage of defending the city and the terrain, which is much more cost-effective than taking the initiative to attack.
Obviously, this hand, John Saar did calculate correctly.
Although Luo Ji has plenty of time, as the initiator of a full-scale war, it is impossible for him to remain in a stalemate with the other party.
After receiving the latest information from the Western Reconnaissance Team and confirming the news, the vision that was originally shrouded in the west was also opened.
According to the report of the reconnaissance team, the western border of his Ten Thousand Realms civilization and the border city of the dwarf civilization are about 100 kilometers away from the buffer zone.
At the same time, they also discovered that a large number of dwarves were digging what appeared to be a river channel outside the enemy border city.
"The river?"
Seeing this, Luo Ji was stunned, and then, his mind turned slightly, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly realized.
"I see, this is digging a trench on the other side?"
The most direct use of the trench is to cover the shooting of the musketeer troops.
However, it is of little use in the most common invasion wars.
The main reason is that the trenches, if they are built permanently, will affect your own expansion, and on weekdays, when your army and people enter and leave the city, it will also affect the efficiency, which will greatly increase the blockage, and may even get in the way and have a negative effect.
And if it is temporary, then according to the rhythm of the invasion war, the invading side will attack quickly, and there will not be enough time for you to dig a trench.
At the same time, there is also a reason that this defensive facility can only be used to cover the musketeer troops, and it basically has no meaning for the melee infantry.
However, in the Black Iron Rank, there are actually very few players who use the Musketeer unit as the main output.
Therefore, the trench is a facility that is basically invisible in the invasion battle of the Black Iron Rank.
It will only be put on the table by the defenders in some long-term wars.
Now John Sal ordered the troops of the border city to dig a trench outside the city, and this posture clearly wanted to use the dwarven musketeers in his hands to fight him in positional warfare.
But it doesn't matter, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, it's a big deal to see the move.
Moreover, the trench is a defensive facility, which is easy to fight, but it is actually very easy to fight, at least Luo Ji already knows it in his heart.
John Sal wanted to use this hand against him, but it was simply overthinking.
The first month passed quietly, and both sides were quite patient.
During this period, Luo Ji, who was in charge of the transfer of troops in the rear, did not go straight to the front line.
Instead, a warrant was issued, with the fiefdom elf king Gao Wen as the commander of the vanguard army, the Zhenxi general Guo Zhen as the general, and Du Yuanzhi as the staff officer of the army, and directly led the assembled Western Frontier Army to advance towards the border city of the dwarf civilization.
At this moment, the total strength of this assembled Western Territory Legion has reached the level of 20,000.
In this wave, Luo Ji can be said to be real in the real sense!
The mighty army walked out of the west gate of Gaoling City, passed through the yellow sand hills surrounded by the west, and slowly pushed towards the border city of the dwarf civilization.
After several days of marching, it was clear that the sheer size of the army was quickly exposed to the scouts on the dwarven side.
The dwarven scouts, who realized that the enemy army was about to crush the territory, hurriedly rushed back to the rear city as fast as possible to report......
"Report to the general, the figure of the enemy army has appeared in the hilly area about fifty kilometers away!"
"How many troops?"
"Visually inspect the strength of at least 20,000 troops."
As he said this, the dwarven scout's voice was distinctly harsh.
As the general of the city behind him, Karadin Copperbeard's face also changed after hearing this.
That's a stressful number.
"Pass the order, the whole army will enter a state of first-level alert!!"
I don't have time to think about it, in the face of this force, if there is a slight difference, I am afraid that the border will have to fall.
A large number of dwarven musketeers quickly entered the trenches and took position, and the melee troops were also ready to attack on one side! It's like a posture of being ready for battle!
The update is sent, thanks to the book friend 'Yakumo Family's hey, hey, hey, and book friend's monthly pass of 'Tears,', 'Kaicenzei', 'White Fat Man', 'One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Go Up the Mountain to Fight Tigers', 'Night Dream Si Half-Cool', 'Jingdeshan People', 'Sleepless Stars', and 'People of the Flame World'!
