Chapter 189: Hunters
Outside the royal city, in the wind and rain, the weather was always cold and wet, which brought great difficulties to the poorly equipped rebels in camping and supply.
The high morale of the rebels was also curtailed in skirmishes.
Under the towering and precipitous walls of the royal city, mountains of corpses have been densely piled up.
The arrival of the demon restored a certain morale to the elite soldiers of the royal city, which also allowed them not to collapse again, but to use excellent equipment to defend the outer city wall in the day and night siege of the rebels.
The witches didn't make a move, and they were still patiently hoarding troops.
After all, the blue-clothed integration company is only a middle-to-lower size company, and it has not been able to place too many demons in one breath.
The rebels, after attacking for three days without counting casualties, retreated with a large number of corpses, and camped in the town of River Valley, only 8.2 kilometers away from the royal city.
The frustration of the offensive demoralized them was demoralized, and the coalition of oppressed, idle idlers, and inferior nobles with ulterior motives realized that:
[The royal city is indeed a huge city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and has never been breached in historical records]
Add to that the harsh environment......
…………
"Actually, in my opinion, even if we don't estimate that this city can be defended." Jiang Han, who was in the form of a worm witch, walked on the walls of the royal city and said in an abyssal language in a fish-accented voice.
Solna, the Fire Demon, held the sword of decapitation in one hand and looked out over Riverdale.
With the advantage of demonic blood, she could easily see the dense tents in that town, and the unruly soldiers cut down trees and burned fires to keep warm. Some sergeants were boosting morale and sharing the few supplies with the soldiers.
She turned to Jiang Han and whispered:
“… If we hadn't come, there would have been 100,000 rebels outside the city, and hundreds of thousands more inside the city, and the queen and her prime minister would not have been able to convince the civilians of the city to live and die with the royal family. ”
In order to investigate the field, Solna took Jiang Han and a group of heavily equipped succubi to patrol the city wall.
The Heavy Succubus is not a pretty demon in scantily clad clothes, but an elite soldier in his humanoid form who wears the finest dwarven Mithril armor and carries a howitzer and warhammer on his back. Because succubi are born with a different order from other demons, the witch has trained them to become a disciplined army of demons.
They even wear heavy helmets with face armor hanging from them.
Jiang Han was a little hot when she looked at this batch of elites, this was the real elite demon servant army, which was different from the batch of big road goods she bought.
However, these are the personal guards of the Fire Demon Witch Solna, and the cultivation is expensive, and each child has accumulated merits, just waiting for the succubus witch who can be transformed into honor after charging into battle one day.
Succubus Witch ...... Hah! Quietly...... Jiang Han's heart turned humiliated, and he said with a sweet smile:
“…… Evelyn is a smart person, you say? ”
Solna called out to a succubus attendant and asked him to keep track of the number of tents.
In this world where wars are infrequent, there is a lot of common sense knowledge that witches think is missing.
For example, the witch is best at 'counting the tent'.
Many times, the enemy still doesn't know how many troops he has, and the witch directly calculates it...... Of course, witches are not superstitious about this, they only calculate the camp account for follow-up preparations.
Solna is not said to be experienced in a hundred battles, she is also a battle-hardened general, and the staff group around her is one by one.
She tilted her head, thought for a moment and said:
"Evelyn In this low-level and poor world, her personal strength is a level 3 wizard, a level 2 druid and a level 3 mage, which is already the limit of the limit, even in the face of a witch who is proficient in level 4 spells, it is not without the strength to fight...... This already speaks for itself in her talent and intelligence. And the sewers and fortifications of the royal city were designed by her personally, in a sense, she is the ultimate witch of this world, so of course she can be regarded as a smart person. ”
That's not a low rating.
Jiang Han glanced at Solna in surprise and blinked:
"I thought you'd think she'd be stupid."
Solna raised her head to look at the distant terrain, and said in a flat tone:
"The one who thinks she's stupid is the one who thinks she's stupid."
Jiang Han turned his head a little weakly.
After saying a few words to the succubus minions, Solna continued:
"A person who is theoretically intelligent has done something stupid, such as attracting demons to their world. Then there is only one possibility: 'This wise man asks for nothing else, and she asks for more than the world gives her.' ’。 ”
Jiang Han didn't understand a little.
Probably seeing the confusion on her face, Solna paused and said bluntly:
"Evelyn has her own little calculations, and she may have even guessed that we were witches."
"Woo!" Jiang Han was surprised.
After scaring the little witch, Solna snorted contentedly:
"It is a fool who makes a deal with the devil, a fool who thinks he is shrewd, and a hopeless fool who makes a deal with a witch...... Or maybe it's a really smart person with a ruthless heart......"
Jiang Han understood now, it turned out that the Prime Minister might be the real ultimate Erwuzai.
The heart of a wise man is dirty enough...... After satisfying her curiosity, she shook her head again:
“… Since she knows, then why don't we just use the identity of the witch. ”
"The word 'may' was coined to avoid misunderstanding, and besides, ......" Solna pinched Jiang Han's nose, "... Besides, we don't know the situation, we only have a superficial tacit understanding with the prime minister, let's wait until we fulfill our promise to think about it. ”
"Promise?" Jiang Han protected his nose and asked in a low voice.
"Defeat the rebels, and give the queen Alison immortality...... What we're doing now is to accomplish the first one. Satisfied, Solna led Jiang Han down the city wall and walked from the city streets to the factory area in the city.
The common people on the streets watched the demons swaggering through the city with terrified eyes.
Jiang Han followed beside him, and couldn't help but feel in his heart that the witch was indeed abiding by the rules, and said that immortality would be given to immortality.
"And how do you do the latter?" She asked.
Solna smiled deeply:
"A tube of witch disease solvent, if you can hold on, that queen will naturally be able to gain a long life. If you can't hold on...... Ha, you can live a long time longer if you turn into a liquid. ”
One tube ...... Jiang Han shook his body.
…………
Jiang Han accompanied Solna for two working days, personally went out of the city to survey the terrain, and the witches even found an opportunity to dig a few tunnels for defense, and waited for the new dry food to be distributed before they began to move.
If most of the witches are optimistic family members, then the witches who can be commanders are all pessimistic family members who have not won the victory.
Including Solna, including a series of squad leaders (except for the old Chaos Witch Tan Yue).
They restrained the demon's subordinates, and only used the guards of the royal city as consumables for testing and collecting information.
They were prepared not to win all at once.
Like hunters who are proficient in hunting, they coldly wait for the day when the morale of the rebels is low and their flaws are revealed.
And this opportunity also appeared on the sixth day.
That day, Jiang Han was fishing in the side hall, looking at the alchemy book, and listening to the discussion between the group leaders next to him and Solna.
And this peaceful day was broken by a witch named Li Siqi.
After the witch broke into the side hall, she told the news that Solna was waiting for:
"The abyssal cat lanterns released by the weather witches have detected the flow of magical power, and tomorrow from five o'clock in the afternoon, there will be a magical wind, and the wind will be northwest and towards the royal city; After 7 p.m., heavy rain and magic winds weakened until after 9 p.m., when the wind direction reversed to a southeasterly wind, and heavy rain was predicted. ”
Hearing this, Solna was overjoyed:
"I'm here."
Jiang Han knew that the Flame Demon Witch had read all the weather records in this area, and at that time she had predicted that there would be this weather in this rainy mountainous area.
After waiting for several days, I finally waited for the fighter plane.
The Flame Demon Witch shouted loudly to the leaders of each group:
"Pass the order, the witches of each group do a good job of raining the enchantment, prepare the palm oil fire, and we will surprise the town of Riverdale tomorrow night."
She turned her head again and said to Jiang Han:
"Together with other idol witches, you go to maintain weapons and distribute vodka to boost morale."
