Chapter 47: The old monster who steals the show

The current situation of Ridana is indeed not very optimistic, but it does not mean that the alliance will break through the defense and enter the city casually, and there is no need for Duke Toronso's troops to travel day and night, so Octavier did not say anything about the old man's approach, and basically acquiesced. After all, in addition to the placement of wounded soldiers, the army also collected some food in the town by the way, which took a lot more time than originally expected, and finally the old man simply stationed it with a wave of his hand, probably planning to spend the night in the town.

It is better than spending the night in the wilderness with no cover, at least the soldiers can use buildings as a basis for fighting during the enemy's night attack, and in this case the alliance chose to attack at night, and the purpose of the other party is to harass this reinforcement.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess knew very well that even if she had Nangong Rong escorting Duke Toronso with her soy sauce, she would not be able to prevent the secret special forces of the alliance from being entangled like leper dogs, and it was impossible to avoid being harassed and fighting to continuously consume troops, materials, morale and energy;

Even if you spend a little bit of time on it, you don't have to waste any time on it.

With so much food in need of the town of Mirgan at the moment, either by armed groups opposing the Empire or by the forces of the Alliance, Octavir was skeptical that the other party would actually pay for the food, so that the townspeople could harvest and gather the grain for the sake of looting. It's a pity that these guys rushed to the vicinity of the town before Duke Tolonso's troops could act, forcing the other party to temporarily change their goals, otherwise the town would probably have suffered by this time.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it is indeed a serious caravan of eight hundred that is doing business with the townspeople, so the old man will stay and wait for others to see if this rumored caravan will appear. For now, it seems that this caravan should most likely be fake.

Through the eldest princess's explanation that was not very serious, Nangong Rong finally understood the twists and turns, and he nodded while sighing at how long the brain circuits of these guys who play politics are: "But even if we know that the caravan is pretending to be an enemy, what if we see that the army will definitely not appear again after seeing the army enter Mirgan Town, and it is impossible to come and play a game of waiting for the rabbit." ”

Octavir was stunned when she heard this, she only cared about analyzing the true identity of the caravan when she chatted with Toronso before, but she didn't expect that even if she saw through the other party's disguise, she would not be able to do so, but now she was shocked on the spot after being raised by the young man, and the whole person suddenly cried and laughed: "Well, it seems to be the case." I was so happy that I thought I would have a chance to find the other party out of the shadows. ”

However, the old duke did not have the slightest embarrassment of bringing the junior to the pit, and he was still dealing with the dinner in front of him slowly: "Your Highness, if you are the commander of the alliance forces, what are you going to do next when it is difficult to carry out the night attack after we enter the town and station?"

Although Octavier was a little baffled, he still sorted out his thoughts and followed the topic and said: "Well, at night, a small number of troops are sent to harass the periphery, and during the day, they continue to use the terrain to set up ambushes and adopt hit-and-run tactics, so there seems to be no other way." After all, it is such a large army, and Nangong Rong and I are patrolling the sky again, so they have no chance of inflicting heavy damage on us. ”

Duke Toronso gently put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then picked up his goblet and shook the wine inside, smiling slightly: "This is not an exam in a military academy, there is no need to make a standard answer that can be accepted by any kind of examiner." In fact, if it were me, I would have chosen to continue to disguise myself as a caravan and make contact with them before the army left the town early the next morning. ”

Not to mention the stunned eldest princess and Nangong Rong, even Nakiris, who had not yet gotten up on the ground, couldn't help but look at the old man with a look of "I don't read much, don't lie to me", but the old man didn't care about everyone's disbelieving gaze, and took two sips of wine leisurely before saying unhurriedly: "That's right, we did guess that the caravan was disguised by the enemy, but the enemy himself didn't know it." In their eyes, the caravan that had been pretending to be in order to get food was a good cover to enter the town under our noses. ”

Octavir stretched out his index finger and pressed it on the right cheek, and his confused expression showed that the girl's natural stupidity that she hadn't seen for a long time had relapsed, and she tilted her head and asked puzzledly: "But what can they do even if they enter the town?" I mean if they want to disguise themselves as a caravan, the other party must not carry magical beasts and weapons, and the number of people in the team must not be large, even if they are all strapped to their clothes with bombs, they will not affect us much. If you really want to talk about it, you can only scout the equipment and number of troops at close range, right?"

If it weren't for Matthias's monster to protect this girl, I don't know how many times she would have died when she pacified the chaos in the imperial capital and cleaned up those who tried to make trouble. Toronso, who remembered the girl's character, could only sigh secretly at this, and then recognized the messy thoughts in his mind and explained seriously: "My Highness, have you not forgotten what I ordered the soldiers to do this afternoon?

"Coming to the door to ask for an explanation or protesting something...... Wait, do you say!?"

"Asking for explanations and protests are only superficial reasons, what the other side really needs is an opportunity to have access to the supreme commander of this army, that is, the old man and me. Duke Toronso put down his cup, stood up, walked to the window, looked out, and said, "At the same time, the Alliance's Warcraft troops will definitely hide near the town and stand by, and wait until the team entering the town causes confusion and signals the army before seizing the opportunity to attack." Without the old man's command, the troops might not have been defeated, but the losses were certain, and the strength and the idea to continue to support Rydana would have been lost, which would have been a good result for the enemy, right?"

Nangong Rong's heart only has the word [slot] left at this moment, Ya is simply an old monster, how can he analyze so many famous halls with just a little bit of information? And listening to the meaning of the old duke's words, he seems to have made a battle plan that uses himself as bait!?

Hey, hey, can you not steal the spotlight so strongly?

Even the boy could hear the meaning of Toronso's words, and Octavier could naturally hear it, but unexpectedly, the girl didn't choose to stop it, but stared at the old man's back seriously and asked lightly, "Are you sure you really want to risk your life?"

The old man turned around and gave the eldest princess a calm smile: "Your Highness, do you think the battle formation I experienced before being promoted by the former emperor is more dangerous than the current situation?"

The eldest princess resolutely stopped asking, nodded respectfully at the old man and said, "Understood, you let go and prepare, what do you need me to do, just say it, I will fully cooperate." ”

"I've read the report, and it seems that Your Majesty has sent the Phantom Phoenix to Your Highness, if that's the case, I do have a dangerous but feasible plan. Toronso said and sat down at the table and beckoned to everyone, "Let's all sit down and talk, how about having dinner by the way? ”

As Old Man Toronso said, the night was indeed very long. Not to mention that Octavir and the Duke had been discussing until nearly midnight, and the sound of ping-pong gunfire in the battle that broke out during the Alliance's harassment of the night attack was enough to make the boy sleep. However, the enemy's night attack did not achieve any results, and the army was prepared not to mention, and Nakiris, who liked to be nocturnal, was flying around the town again, usually drilling wherever it was lively, and then there was no more.

Although the snake girl Lori is a parallel import, she belongs to Warcraft after all, and some of the crumbling and dangerous outer defense lines have been re-stabilized because of her joining.

These are not related to Nangong Rong's half-pack of spicy strips, and the boy who didn't sleep well got up with dark circles under his eyes, and he didn't delay even a minute, because he also participated in today's bait operation. Of course, the protagonists are still Toronso and Octavire, and the teenager is only responsible for saving lives in case of an accident.

To be reasonable, Nangong Rong didn't want the so-called caravan to appear at all, because then everyone could eat breakfast directly and then open the way, and there was no need to worry about the enemy swaggering into the town to cause sabotage, and there was no need to worry about a group of fierce demonic beasts outside waiting for the opportunity to rush in and kill the Quartet. But the boy knew that this was impossible, and the alliance's repeated night attacks last night just proved the old man's guess.

It is very likely that the enemy will use the night attack as a cover to play the trick of one out and three times and two, that is, when the three-headed monster comes back from the chaos, only two will return, and one will quietly hide near the town to prepare for the morning action. Not only would this cause stress and fatigue to the defenders, but it would also allow for the deployment of troops around the town in case it was difficult to detect, and if it weren't for the possible tactics of the enemy mentioned during the discussion between Toronso and Octavire, the boy would never have imagined that the battle would be able to be played like this.

It was still in the house yesterday that Nangong Rong found Octavier, who had been washed and cleaned. Obviously, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess didn't sleep well, and even if she couldn't stop yawning when she saw her, but in general, the girl cleaned herself up, and she looked much better than the sloppy appearance with a dirty face.

However, even though it was mentioned last night, when it came time to see it with his own eyes, the boy couldn't help but want to spray rice and ...... Wow?

"Well, what's wrong Nangong Rong, is there anything wrong with me?" Octavier saw the young man looking at him stupidly with an expression that he didn't know what to say, and suddenly became dissatisfied with one hand, "Or do you think I'm weird?" Really, as a boy, a flattery like "It fits you very well" should be said to a girl without learning, right?"

Nangong Rong, who was full of black lines, looked at Her Royal Highness the eldest princess in front of her, who was wearing black and white coarse cloth clothes, a white headdress, a white apron tied to her lower abdomen, and a very standard maid costume, and suddenly felt that she was trampled by 10,000 *** from her body.

If you really want to say this kind of thing, you will definitely be invited to tea by the relevant departments.

So the young man who thought of this decisively chose to borrow the slope to get off the donkey: "Mmmm, you are indeed very beautiful, I was stunned." So, may I go to breakfast and throw Nakiriss into my room and go to bed?"

The snake girl Lori, who had been crazy all night, behaved like a dead pig at the moment, Nangong Rong felt that she was a little bit about to drag her, but the battle that would be held would be inseparable from her support, and the young man could only forcibly take her with him.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess immediately had a green tendon at the temple position, after all, even if the young man was perfunctory, it was too casual, which made the girl feel all kinds of fire for no reason. However, Octavier was unable to show his anger, as Toronso appeared in the living room just in time.

"Oh, it's really punctual, it's good to be young. The old man had also finished washing, but unlike the young boys and girls with dark circles, he looked very energetic, "If nothing else, the guests should show up before the normal breakfast time, and our early birds will solve the stomach problem first, after all, it will be very busy later." So Tavier, can I ask you for breakfast with the boy?"

Duke Toronso's tone was as if he was kindly telling her to do things to his maid, which made Nangong Rong suddenly sweat. However, it is obvious that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess does not care too much about this, and besides, judging from the seniority and seniority, the old man does have the qualifications to order her, and the girl is just angry that the old man also included Nangong Rong by the way.

That's right, today, at least until the end of the Allies' visit, Octavir will be dressed as a regular lady-in-waiting who follows the old duke, just as the other party is dressed as a merchant.

The girl will use the weapons developed to fight against the Warcraft to deal with the enemy who tries to assassinate the old duke, and Nangong Rong can't help but feel sad for the other party when he thinks of this.
