Act 145: The Thoughts of the Lords (Part 10)
Sillne was shocked by the words of the Marquis of Cardion, which was different from the education she had received since childhood!
"But aren't they worried about His Majesty's punishment by doing so?"
Marquis Kadean sneered and said, "Why should they worry? Yunfeng City is now facing the main army of the Psychic Holy Tower, and it is almost impossible to resist it with the current guard strength in the city! Even if he really blocked the attack of the undead, His Majesty the Emperor's strength would inevitably suffer a great loss, and then he would not have the strength to punish these powerful lords. Even in order to maintain his rule, the emperor had to woo these people against his will. Therefore, as long as they can retain their strength, then no matter whether Yunfeng City can win this battle or not, they will not have any substantial losses! ”
Syrne's brow furrowed.
"This ...... Since evil deeds cannot be punished, what honor is there in such treatment!? ”
Marquis Kadean shrugged: "Honor? The kind of thing that coaxes young people is just a gorgeous dress for us old fellows, and when we take off our clothes, it is only a mortal body, no different from the smelly peasants in the fields. ”
"Since His Majesty the Emperor can't punish them substantively, then why do they still bring troops?"
"Because if they don't come, they're breaking their oath! This is the truth that others will attack them in the future, so at least they will maintain the image of loyal servants on the surface. You can call this hypocrisy, in fact, all nobles are hypocritical, just a difference in degree, including your father, me. ”
Although Sillne's illusions about the nobility had begun to falter when she had asked for reinforcements from many lords, the presence of White Steel and the "glorious image" of her father and brother still supported her beliefs for many years.
But just now, the words of the Marquis of Cardion completely shattered Syrne's worldview, and the whole person sat on the back of the horse sluggishly.
"Let her be quiet, Croto, and watch out for her, and don't have any accidents."
Croto couldn't bear to look at Sylne, sighed, and said, "Yes, my lord." ”
Meanwhile, the white steel of the Black Thorn Castle was still standing on that balcony watching the army below, but this time it wasn't the vast array of horses and infantry of the natives, but the roar of tanks, self-propelled guns, armored vehicles, and trucks after truck.
The construction of the front-line airfield has entered the final stage, and the engineers can finally free up their hands to build roads and bridges for the white steel team.
"My Earl, get ready to get in the car."
Cao Yu didn't know when he stood behind Bai Gang, and laughed unhappily at Bai Gang's new nickname, the earl, which is much more well-known than the Sword Saint or something.
"What is the condition of the troops, the final checks before departure are completed?"
Cao Yu couldn't help but be a little depressed, he was obviously a sniper, and his job was to blow up other people's heads with bullets, but now why did he become a full-time secretary?
There were two divisions of troops in this sortie, and they were organized by the base into a special formation called the "Storm Legion" - of course, fooling the formation of the Otherworlders.
Although Bai Gang is nominally the commander, in fact no one knows that these troops are directly under the command of the base. Of course, in order not to let the aborigines have any possibility of seeing the clues, all orders and actions must go through the white steel circle, just like the real commander is working, and now the person responsible for helping the circle turn is him Cao Yu.
Secretly mourning for his "miserable" treatment, Cao Yu continued:
"The troops are in good condition, there are 12 trucks lying on their stomachs, and the tanks and self-propelled guns are transported by transporters, so they are all in good condition.
In addition, judging from the current situation of the supply line, it can roughly bear 60% of the material delivery of the troops, and the remaining gap is planned to be topped by airdrop, so it should not be a big problem in a short time.
If we can, I'd suggest delaying the start of the battle a little longer when we get to the vicinity of Cloudpeak City, so that we can still stock up on some more materials in case we need them. ”
Bai Gang nodded and said, "I also want to delay as much time as possible, in fact, not only me, but also those researchers in the base have the same idea, eager to use this battle to collect all the data they can collect."
However, if the opponents this time are really those necromancers...... I'm afraid they won't make it easy for us to get our satisfaction.
Alright, let's get ready to go, and go after the Marquis of Cardian's troops. ”
…………………………
Two days later, in the ranks of the Marquis of Cardion.
"Cred, we're already very close to Yunfeng City, if we can't make something happen, we're really going to defend the city."
Creder spat out the stalk of grass in his mouth, and stared at Sylne not far away with a resentful expression.
"I know! I know! Of course I do! But what can I do!? Now that damn Sylne is just taking us for air! Or are you going to provoke those two men with the surname Kadean!? ”
Several of the surrounding lords suddenly shuddered and stopped talking.
Engaging in small actions is engaging in small actions, but if you really go head-to-head with the two killing gods of Marquis Cadean and his son, it will be a self-defeating death!
"Anyway, Lao Tzu doesn't plan to die at the hands of those disgusting mages who play with corpses in the Psychic Holy Tower!" Credder said viciously, "If you really can't do it, you can only use some ruthless moves!" ”
"Ruthless!?"
Everyone immediately became interested, no matter what tricks they had, as long as they could make them not have to go to Yunfeng City to die.
"The front is the undead occupation area, the last way is to attract an undead army, when the scene is chaotic, we pretend to be defeated and go directly!"
Everyone looked at Credder in amazement.
"Yes...... Can it be ...... This can easily cause the collapse of the entire front! When the time comes, if you are not careful, the army will be wiped out! ”
"Hehe, whose army is it that is destroyed? We have been prepared, so naturally we will not be us. As for Kadean and the rest of the brainless people, let them die! Do you think that Yunfeng City can still escape this catastrophe!? In that case, what does it matter if they die sooner or later? It's all death anyway.
In addition, we can take advantage of the fact that Kadean and their territory are leaderless, and then go south with our belongings and troops! ”
"Southern...... Right...... That's right! It's the South! This ghost place full of undead people Lao Tzu doesn't want it for a long time! ”
"That's right! Cred, or you're smart! We all listen to you! ”
As a result, the faces of the lords were filled with happy smiles.
