Chapter 203: In the Dungeon (Contract Battle)

Led his troops to the outside of Boulder Fort, and after getting the news that Arthur was safe and sound, Zheng Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

Instead of rashly leading his army to storm the Allied forces of Ronan and Lane who were besieging Boulder Fort, he chose to be stationed on a high ground not far from Boulder City.

At this time, he was looking at the army of Ronan and the Ryan Alliance from afar, secretly thinking about his next move.

"My lord, roughly calculated, the enemy coalition army has about 40,000 troops, of which about 500 are elite troops, and the rest are composed of nobles recruited from 14 principalities, 45 princely states, 113 noble domains, free states, free cities, and knightly domains.

And we have about 30,000 troops. Among them are the 10,000 dragon and lion army led by you, my red-haired army, Locke's white bear army, Kai's wolf cavalry army, and in recent days, there have been lords leading troops to rush to help.

According to the terms of war, we only need to defeat the leadership of about 1,000 people, including the Golden Dragon of the Ronan Kingdom and the King of Bach of the Ryan Kingdom, to win the victory, demand reparations, or obtain their ...... of submission. ”

Hearing the orderly report behind him, Zheng Ming turned around and looked at Saion, who was kneeling on one knee. For this general who he brought up single-handedly, he was still very satisfied in his heart. Now that he has broken away from the Dragon and Lion Legion and established his own army, Saion is no longer the unknown junior of the year, but after receiving the news of Zheng Ming, he still led his army to come as soon as possible, and willingly played the role of a herald, reporting all kinds of trivial matters for him.

Thinking of this, he looked down again, which was different from Zheng Ming's perception in his previous life. These countries where chivalry is rampant have many rules when they fight each other.

Most of the armies composed of nobles fought like child's play, and there were often duels between the warring generals to determine the outcome of the war.

The clauses on defeat and capture were even more nerve-wracking, and in this regard the Dorn's methods of warfare were more familiar to him.

Standing alone on the top of the mountain, after thinking for a while, Zheng Ming, who had made up his mind, turned around and looked back at Sai Weng who was waiting behind him.

"Seon gave me orders. With the exception of the Odd Men in the army, all the commanders led their own armies to reclaim the fortress fortress occupied by the Ronan and Ryan alliances. ”

"My lord, what about the king?"

"Don't worry about it for the time being. I'll lead an army to sneak in and come to the rescue. ”

"Yes. Subordinates receive orders. ”

Although he didn't understand Zheng Ming's plan very much, out of trust in him, Saion didn't raise any objections, bowed down and left.

And Zheng Ming looked at this loyal subordinate, the figure that flew rapidly in three or two steps, and once again lowered his head and thought about the next plan.

After the battle at the top of the snowy mountain, it was obvious that after he left, the battle would break out again.

With the situation at that time, Thor of the Ryan Kingdom could be said to be certain to die, and as the king of Ronan, even if the other party secretly hid some means, at least serious injuries were inevitable.

It can be said that in that battle, as the top combat power of Ryan and Ronan, almost half of them were lost. This is tantamount to losing an arm for the combat power of the army and the overall strength of the kingdom.

And when the news of their death reaches the country completely, it will inevitably cause violent turmoil in the domestic situation again.

Zheng Ming's order just now was based on the plan formulated based on the intelligence advantage of returning first and being a few steps ahead of Ronan Lane's coalition forces on the front line.

By the time the news ferments in their country and finally reaches the front, the morale of the army will be in turmoil. There are only two options left for them, continue to fight or withdraw their troops.

Against the backdrop of domestic turmoil and demoralization, continuing to fight is tantamount to digging one's own grave. Coupled with the fact that the warring sides were rife with chivalry, they had a relaxed attitude towards surrender, and there was a tradition of treating captives favorably in exchange for ransom. The ending is not hard to imagine.

And the plan formulated by Zheng Ming is for the second option. He asked Seon to go out with his army to reclaim the city occupied by Ronan and Lane's combined forces, in order to stop their retreat.

In this way, as long as you hold on for this period of time, when the news of the Battle of Snow Mountain reaches the front line, the only way left for the other side is to surrender.

"It's coming. After defeating and subduing them, the Kingdom of Adler remains. ”

Zheng Ming fantasized about a bright future with Arthur after defeating all the kingdoms, and muttered in a low voice.

Turning around and taking a deep look again, the Ronan Lane coalition outside Boulder Castle turned around and walked in the direction where the army was stationed.

……

In the barracks.

Looking at the generals, Zheng Ming said to the generals that he was careful and watched them lead the army away.

He left the king's safety alone, and instead ordered to recover the city, which attracted some people's complaints. However, under the leadership of Seon, Locke, Kai, etc., who are either Zheng Ming's descendants or middle-level and high-level officers who have been friends of Zheng Ming for many years, they have not made a single wave.

It can be said that at this time, Zheng Ming's 30,000 troops here are almost his private army, even if most people don't understand Zheng Ming's decision, they will obey his orders.

A large number of troops left, leaving only a mess behind. Standing in the empty barracks, Zheng Ming looked at the hundreds of players in front of him.

These players have more or less exposed their own magical methods that are different from this world, so the identity of the players is known to each other, and at the same time, they also leave the impression of "strange people" among the natives.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Some people may change to this world and are not very familiar with me. But it doesn't matter. All you need to know is that I can bring you quests and rewards, and if you fight bravely, I can also provide you with the service of exchanging military merits for items. ”

The players who had lazily gathered in the open space of the barracks were shocked when they heard Zheng Ming's roar, explained their attitude of hanging their children, and looked at Zheng Ming standing on the high platform.

There are those who are surprised, those who are dazed, and those who are incredulous. But the most are the players who are excited and interested.

"The next action is to infiltrate the Boulder Castle and support the protection of King Arthur. However, you should also know that Boulder Fortress is under siege by the kingdom of Ronan Lane at this time, and there is no means or confidence to leave. ”

Under Zheng Ming's next sentence, all the players in the field were slightly stunned, and their eyes were blank and stunned for a moment. Immediately afterwards, as a famous player came back to his senses first, a noisy discussion gradually started. Most of the people are full of excitement and confidence, and of course there are some players who sigh for a long time and show a look of regret.

"I won't ask about your infiltration methods. You can work as a team or go alone. Then go your separate ways, and all you have to do is show up in the fort within the next three days and find me. Next, I'll hand out badges with my imprint. The badge will only be valid for this one infiltration. Next, collect your badge and split up. ”

Zheng Ming didn't talk much nonsense and went straight to the point. Following his order, one by one the players hesitated forward and received the badge that Zheng Ming had not been manufacturing for a long time.

The badge is made of stone and wooden blocks, and it can be seen from the appearance that it was made in a hurry. There were scorched marks in the shape of a black black dragon on it, and if you looked closely, you could see a layer of jet-black flame that did not have temperature covering the black dragon pattern.

"Alright. Here's one last word of advice. Your talents are likely to be put to good use elsewhere, and there are many opportunities to achieve success, so do what you can. Well, disband. ”

Under Zheng Ming's last dismissal order, the players scattered in all directions, leaving Zheng Ming alone in the field.
