Chapter IX: Military Discussions

Back in the square of Arest City, hundreds of minotaurs looked at each other, and then exploded at once, and the scene was extremely sensational. It's just that the stone is also depressed, and the 'space-time gate' with hundreds of minotaurs has almost used up all of its mana.

It seems that it will be a big project to bring all the troops back to Stuart.

Ignoring their hustle and bustle, the stone made its way through the streets of the city to the 'Magic Vortex' that shone with colorful light at the foot of the mountain. Reaching forward, a rainbow of light swirled around his body, and the stone temporarily doubled its mana. "Unfortunately, this effect can only be done once a week."

The stone gathered all the team, and the black dragon and the red dragon also rushed over when they heard the news.

--"Space-time gate! ”--

The stone and two-thirds of the team disappeared in the yellow light.

Five or six hundred people suddenly appeared in the empty square of Stuart City, and York, hearing the sound, hurried out of the council hall, "My lord, are you back?" ”

"Gotta go back! Is there a situation in the city? ”

"No, sir!"

"Leader Luomeng, you talk to them, let them keep it secret, and don't talk about the news of the 'Time and Space Gate' to the outside world!" The stone pointed to the guys in the square who were still arguing feverishly, and turned back to Chief Romon.

…………

Before coming to the "Magic Vortex" of Stuart City, the magic of the stone was restored again.

--"Space-time gate! ”--

…………

--"Space-time gate! ”--

Except for a few dozen Minotaurs and a few other teams to keep the city in order, Stone brought all the teams and some of the new recruits back to Stuart. Among them was the old Fried, who was very discerning, and at his urging, Stone recruited him into the ranks, brought him over, and restored his freedom.

In order to restore his magic, the stone rushes to the magic well. When he returned to Stuart, York ran up to the stone in a gust of wind and stammered excitedly, "Great ...... Man, enemy...... The enemy enters the valley! ”

"Ah, it's really here! When was this? ”

"Not so long ago!"

"How many?"

"I don't know! My eyes and ears that I have sprinkled...... What the cavemen saw...... Just know that there are a lot of people! ”

"Let's go, go to the council halls! Let's discuss! ”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stuart City, Council Hall.

The long round table was now full of people, and the stone sat in the middle, surrounded by York, the chiefs of the tribes, the Giant Peak, and the Water Show.

Seeing that the crowd had fallen silent, Stone began to speak, "The Kingdom of Nisco has sent a large number of troops to attack us, and they have entered the valley...... It is estimated that it will be only two days away! Let me start with the military ......"

Seeing the discussion below, the stone knocked on the table, "Let's listen to my introduction first,...... Our military strength: the number of Harpys, Evil Eyes, and Medusa is about 500, the number of Minotaurs is 900, the number of lion scorpions has also reached 15, and the number of black (red) dragons is two, and the monthly military expenditure is close to 20,000 gold coins. As for the incoming enemy, the Kingdom of Sniko, which owns three cities, is not clear, but the number of troops and heroes will certainly not be small. ”

[Note: The total income of the two cities is about 25,000 gold coins.] 】

"That's the way it is. What do you think and think, all of them! ”

"Defend!" Several people immediately responded.

The stone immediately explained: "I'm afraid that the enemy will retreat when they see our strength!" After all, the other party is not stupid! Haha......"

"Haha......"

"This ...... My lord, do you want to lie in an ambush and wait for the enemy to attack! Lisa's voice was heard clearly from the cacophony of discussions.

“…… Well, not bad! That's what I thought! It's just ......" Shi's eyes lit up, and then he was a little gloomy.

"Your Excellency is worried about the strength of the enemy! Once the enemy's strength is too strong, it will be a great challenge for the defenders of the city! ”

Stone nodded, "Hmm...... Not bad! I want York to defend the city, but ......, after all, he is a battle mage, and his attribute bonus and personal strength are poor! At this point, Stone nodded apologetically at York.

York waved his hand and continued to sit there listening intently.

"Huh...... My lord, I think, what do you think...... Wrong. Lisa looked at the stones, showed no signs of anger, relieved herself, and continued: "My lord, as long as we hold the city, we will win, and whether the enemy attacks or not, as long as the enemy does not take the city, it will be a failure!" Isn't it? What do you think, my lord? ”

"Haha, it's easy for you to think like this, but I always want to fight the enemy!"

"Your Excellency wants to start a war with the enemy when it is advantageous to defend the city? What do adults worry about? Are you afraid that the enemy will not attack? Lisa smiled and shivered as she looked at Lisa's stone, "Hmm...... Lisa this guy...... It's a witch's style! ”

"As long as our garrison is not stronger than them, they will definitely attack!"

"Why ......"

"My lord, how could they come from afar, how could they return in vain? Moreover, they have an advantage in the number of heroes...... Oh, and the quality, very different from the last group of wandering heroes who attacked us. My lord, you have to put yourself in their shoes......"

"You're right, let me think. They don't care about the loss of troops...... As long as you can win, what can you do even if you lose all your troops? It's just a matter of recruiting again...... As the main hero of the Sniko Kingdom, their level will not be too low,...... Oh, I'm taking it for granted...... Still thinking about eating the enemy? Hehe...... I really think of them as those wandering heroes! Stone remembered the Bunier he had met in the Areste Valley, and even if he had so many fewer troops than himself, he had almost turned the tables, and if it weren't for his own strength, the result might have been different.

"My lord......," Lisa was about to say something, but when she saw everyone looking at her, she swallowed back what she wanted to say.

The stone came to his senses from his contemplation, looked at the strange crowd, didn't care, and said, "This battle ,...... I will personally defend the city with my troops. York, you have fifty minotaurs, fifty evil eyes, and big ogres lying in ambush on one side, and when they retreat, you can kill them! Hold back a little! The 'Great Method of Camouflage' you cast, no one should be able to see through it! ”
