Chapter 51: The Distant Mountain (21)
After a brief breakfast, the group hurried on the road, heading towards the cold and dark front.
The procession walked through the mountains and deliberately made a circle. At noon, the scouts at the top of the hill burst into cheers.
"Your Highness, it's them! Our army of Lorraine! β
A majestic group of heavy infantry rumbled over rocks and weeds to join Prince Thor's squad.
"Your Royal Highness, 800 Lorraine expeditionary forces have come to be dispatched according to your orders."
"This is the last regular army of Lorraine," the female mage Emilia suddenly leaned close to Xiao Yan's ear and said coquettishly, "You know what? Except for some militia left behind, here are the last direct troops of Prince Thor. β
Xiao Yan thought for a few minutes with his hands on his forehead, then stepped forward and said to the prince, "Your Royal Highness, has our plan been adjusted?" β
Dilan and Emilia's eyes immediately focused on the prince with dark circles under his eyes.
"I want to reclaim the Heart of the Mountains." "Then a sword plunged into Angmar's eye to take back our gold and treasures. β
"But Your Highness, you said that the recapture of Lengshan will be a matter of later. We need to unite the power of the King of Lorraine and Romania first, and now it is too dangerous to face the dragon. Sonia said helplessly.
"No, I can't accept this negative, cowardly, cowardly proposal. The treasure of Cold Mountain belongs to Lorraine! Belong to us! Prince Thor roared, shouting at Sonya, "It's mine! β
"No one can stop me. The cowards let them go, and even if it's just me with a sword, I'll kill that reptile! β
ββ¦β¦β
The human beings present were speechless, and all looked at the lost prince with a look of sorrow and pity. Dilan and Amilia's eyes were filled with undisguised disdain and disdain.
"What can we do...... Garadia said worriedly in the team channel, "Can we just follow the prince to the dragon's lair and try it?" Even if we are lucky enough to succeed in slaying the dragon, the many forces that occupy the middle and lower levels of the Cold Mountain will not be able to be eliminated in a short time, and the time we bring back reinforcements will be consumed in endless battles. β
Valkyrie was similarly puzzled: "What went wrong?" If the prince is so paranoid, then it is hopeless for us to come to Lorraine to ask for reinforcements. β
"In that case." Xiao Yan walked in front of Sonia and blocked Prince Thor's anger, "Your Royal Highness, I'm afraid that our combat strength will be difficult to sustain in the face of a large number of enemies that may exist at the foot of the cold mountain. Your Highness Thor, I have a proposal. β
"Listen, Marudang Fergutam, I hope your heart is as strong as your fight last night."
Xiao Yan bowed slightly: "We have successfully approached Leng Mountain, and it won't be long before we approach Angmar's lair. In the face of the upcoming decisive battle, I recommend gathering the dwarven armies that are gathering in this area to fight the Angmar dragons and other bandits. β
"Is this your tactic? Griffith. Prince Thor walked towards Xiao Yan and looked directly at him with eyes full of greed and anger.
In the eyes of Prince Thor, after he had already highlighted the threat that other clans might pose, Xiao Yan's proposal was simply to expose his scars. If it weren't for this human knight saving him and his army, the prince would have slaughtered this human bastard who offended him by now.
The dwarf is completely lost......
"There are still many bandits entrenched in the middle and lower layers of Cold Mountain, and they are numerous, and they will definitely hinder your recapture of Cold Mountain." Xiao Yan said respectfully, "Even if the reinforcements can't compete with the dragon, they can prevent other robbers from interfering with His Highness's plans. We let the reinforcements fanfare and stay on the outskirts of the cold mountain to attract the attention of the enemy in the middle and lower peaks, which can create opportunities for His Highness's actions. β
"Yes." Thor nodded, walking slowly towards the uninhabited hillside, as if thinking about Xiao Yan's plan.
"Bad embryo ......" Galadia and Sonya's expressions as they looked at Xiao Yan changed. This plan is still to summon the power of other clans, but not to let them get close to the cold mountain, this subtle adjustment makes it impossible for the other dwarven clans to compete with the prince for the right to enter the cold mountain, and may suffer huge casualties.
"He's hesitating," Galadia said after a moment of thought on the team channel, "this plan is still risky, and other clans may use it to go straight to Leng Shan, and he is probably worried about it." β
The rest of his teammates agreed.
Prince Thor's long list of enemies includes dragons, orcs who occupy the lower and middle levels of Cold Mountain, goblins, goblins, goblins, and his compatriots from other clans. For this prince, who has lost the royal capital and his father, the only strength he has is to face challenges from all sides, and the only reliable one is his own clan.
Don't the dwarves know the trick of marriage...... Even if he knew, it would be too late. Xiao Yan shook his head in his heart, came to the prince's side, and persuaded in a calm tone: "The journey to the dragon's lair will be long and dangerous. Battles with goblins, fallen dwarves, and orcs entrenched there will result in many casualties, and may even attract the attention of dragons due to the battle. His Highness's Iron Guards are the backbone of the fight against the dragons and the guardian treasury, and they should not be consumed in pointless battles. β
Yes, Prince Thor has concerns. His concern was that his men were too few in number, and if the armies of the other clans were lucky enough to survive the march or most of them succeeded, and if his countrymen were still reluctant, the prince would not be able to resist the betrayal of his people in terms of strength.
Xiao Yan had insight into the prince's thoughts and came up with an evil strategy of attrition. The royal family of Lorraine is still the titular ruler of the dwarven kingdom, and has the right to order the armies of other clans to be sent to exterminate the goblins and fallen dwarves below the mountain. When the situation calmed down, Prince Thor believed that he had won the Heart of the Mountains, and with this he could recruit the armies of the various tribes, so that he could not worry about a rebellion of one tribe under the balance of forces.
If the armies of the tribes were unfortunate enough to be attacked by Angmar on the way and turned into a pile of coke, it would not be an unbearable price in the eyes of the prince, who had been corrupted by the temptation of gold. In the face of the temptation of treasure, he no longer cares about such losses.
A smile suddenly crossed the corner of Prince Thor's mouth, and he turned his head and said to Xiao Yan with a rare smile: "Your proposal is not unreasonable. The only one who can fight the dragon is me and my guards, and other tribal armies can guard our rear. β
"Miss Sonia." To his allies, Prince Thor said, "The armies of the Mithril and Bronze clans are deploying nearby, and I will take my people to Cold Mountain. Could you please contact them? β
"With pleasure, Your Highness." Sonia glanced at Xiao Yan deeply, "Let's leave immediately." β
