Chapter 378: Confusing Intelligence
The second meridian has entered the spring. But the chill of winter has not yet faded away: gusts of cold wind blow in the face, always making people mistakenly think that it is still winter, and the snow on the ground that has not yet melted is also a reminder of how unwilling winter is to end in a hurry.
Marching in such weather is obviously not a pleasant thing, the 300,000 army dispatched, there are many problems, the march is slow, and it has just rained, which makes the soldiers cry bitterly, the rain is not heavy, but mixed with the snow and water on the ground, it makes the road muddy, such a road situation seriously affects the already slow snail-like marching speed, look at the sky is not early, Shammas simply ordered to stop the advance, camp on the spot to rest. Even if it is camping, it is not an easy task, the mud is not only the road, if it is not for the height of the marching bed is high enough, maybe everyone will have to roll in the mud tonight, so the soldiers are not in a hurry to set up tents, but on the wet and cold ground managed to build piles of bonfires, one can make some food to eat on the bonfire, and the other is to use the bonfire to dry and roast the ground hard, and at night, the residual temperature on the ground can also make everyone sleep more comfortably.
As a concubine and commander-in-chief, Shammas certainly didn't need to be as troublesome as the soldiers, this tall and sturdy human man was just an order, and a fire mage cast a hellish flame on the plot he chose, and the heat of the magic flame quickly made the muddy snow on the ground disappear.
Then Shammaz's men quickly erected his huge tent for his commander, and then all kinds of supplies were brought in, such as ornate and simple beds, tables and chairs, and other exquisite objects, to furnish the tent in a luxurious and comfortable manner.
In other parts of the barracks, there are also more than a dozen similar big tents set up like this, which are the tents of various small lords, even if they go on an expedition, these guys will not let themselves suffer too much, they also have special cooks to serve them, and some even bring women, like the good of Longyang, of course, they will also bring a few handsome little boys to accompany them through the long night.
Although Shamath is also a good woman, he has always been self-controlled in the army, and he does not have that leisure now.
Because he had a very bad premonition.
Shamma has been fighting for many years, and he has always believed in his hunch, because this premonition has helped him get out of trouble more than once, not only to help him avoid evil, but also to help him turn defeat into victory.
This time, of course, was no exception, he had this strong premonition from the beginning of entering Arthur's territory, but now two days later, he still couldn't figure out what the problem was.
This time the lords united in their crusade against Arthur's military campaign, and so far, it has gone well, and there is nothing wrong with it except for the unsatisfactory pace of the march.
The deterrent power of the 300,000 army has been perfectly reflected, and the various lords are reflecting that after the army was assembled, the riots in various places have decreased a lot, presumably those untouchables now understand that no matter how strong Arthur is who made the lords on the Solo Peninsula angry, it is absolutely impossible to be the opponent of the coalition of lords after joining forces, even if he has the ability to organize an army of 100,200,000 in such a short time, but this kind of haste was established, The rabble, whose fighting power is worried, is no match for the 300,000 troops formed by the elite of the lords.
You must know that more than half of the 300,000 troops are the descendants of the lords, and the rest are also veterans they draw from other troops, and Arthur has a lot of troops, but how many can really fight?
According to Shamma's estimates, Arthur had at most fifty or sixty thousand capable soldiers.
And the current situation is also the lord's coalition side has the advantage, after entering Arthur's territory, the coalition army did not receive any resistance at all, Arthur's troops everywhere fled without a fight, according to the report of the scouts, Arthur's army is converging in the direction of MiG City, and the residents of various cities and villages in the direction of the coalition army are also missing, all the materials have been moved, nothing is left, I don't know if Arthur wanted to move people and supplies away early, or if these untouchables spontaneously took refuge and fled when they heard the arrival of the coalition army.
The other lords were overjoyed by this situation, believing that the other side was too frightened to meet the battle, and some even suggested that the army should be split up and march separately, so that the other side could not escape.
But Shammas is full of doubts, because of his mysterious premonition, he is personally biased towards Arthur's plan to move all the residents away, but Shammas doesn't understand the reason why the other party did this, the supply of the lord's coalition army is quite sufficient, and the strategy of clearing the field has no effect on the coalition army, but Arthur must have his intention to do this, from the analysis of this guy's previous action mode, he will not be a person who likes to do useless work.
Sharma
So not only did he not divide his troops, but doubled down on the scouts to spy on every move around the army to prevent the opponent from sneaking up, and at the same time asked the lords to share information, gather all the information they knew about Arthur to his side, and asked that from now on, the new information they obtained from the spies hidden in Arthur's territory should also be shared with themselves as soon as possible.
After a hasty dinner, Shammas had all the information about this Arthur fetched, and then sat down at his favorite table, and looked at them carefully, convinced that he could analyze something from them.
Due to the distance between the territory and Arthur, Shamas does not care much about the newly rising lord of Yaji, and he is responsible for defending strategic places and resisting the attack of Daxdo's army, and his status among the lords of the Solo Peninsula is also transcendent, as long as he does not take the initiative to make trouble, other lords will not come to him for trouble, because although his territory is not very large, the land is also very poor, and the population is relatively sparse, but because of the few wars, it has become a rare piece of pure land on the Solo Peninsula, Compared with other war-torn areas, the harvest here is still good, and he can receive a lot of taxes, plus he can get a certain amount of military support from the alliance every year for defending that military fortress, and he has also raised a strong army under his command, and he has been unscathed in this war that has almost plagued the entire territory of the Solo Peninsula.
It wasn't until Castro's power was uprooted that Sharma began to pay attention to this Arthur, but at this time, all kinds of rumors were flying around, whether it was Arthur's replacement of Fernand, or the forced landing of Krum, or the defeat of Castro, there were already various theories, and the truth was difficult to find. How did he know that in order to confuse the public and conceal the fact that he had a dark magic master under his command, Chen Jian sent a large number of people to pretend to be Castro's rout, rendering the battle of the day beyond recognition, and similarly, the replacement of Fernand and the forced landing on Colum were also confusing because of the various rumors he spread.
At the beginning, some early intelligence said that Arthur had cavalry and angels, and he still believed it a little, and even doubted that the other party was a puppet secretly supported by a big force like the Erathia Empire, but when he saw the back, he found that there was also information that Arthur's men might have many troops such as golden dragons, archdemons, titan giants and Beamon behemoths, and therefore had the strength to force Fernande to abdicate.
Similarly, there are many theories about the battle between Arthur and Castro that day, some people say that Arthur used powerful magic to annihilate Castro's army in one fell swoop, some people say that Arthur used hundreds of Titans to fight at the same time to win, and some people say that Arthur used some kind of powerful artifact, anyway, there are no less than a dozen theories, and each of them claims to have heard from the mouth of the rout soldiers who escaped from Castro's army that day.
Seeing the end, Shammas finally gave up, he dropped the messy information, and sighed: "This cunning guy! He's so good at hiding himself! ”
Although there is no gain, but Shammas is now more sure of what conspiracy the opponent is playing, this Arthur has the current situation quietly, it can be seen that he is a scheming and extremely forbearant ruthless character, such a person does not make a move, and a shot must be earth-shattering, but now he can't guess what he is thinking, very passive and depressed.
After sitting for a while, a distraught Shamath decided to go outside to get some air, hoping that the chill outside would calm his mind.
Putting on a heavy cloak, Shamas stepped out of the tent, only to realize that he had wasted most of the night in the pile of information that was no different from waste paper, and before he knew it, it was late at night, the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed, and the dark night sky was full of twinkling stars, and it seemed that tomorrow would be a big guess.
But the night wind still carried a deep chill, Shammas subconsciously wrapped the cloak on his body, and the guards guarding around the tent saluted when they saw the commander coming out, and the captain came to Shammas and respectfully asked the commander what he needed to serve.
Shamath was about to signal everyone to ignore him and return to his place, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a dazzling silver-white magical light rising into the sky, and his face couldn't help but change greatly, because it was a warning signal from the qi magician in charge of vigilance?
Then, the warning bells rang out one after another in the barracks, and finally joined together, breaking the quiet night sky.
"Dichloromorph !!"
There will be a change later
