Chapter 117: It's not that our army is incompetent, it's that the enemy is too cunning
The drums of war rumbled and the flags fluttered.
An army in bright armor formed a phalanx, marching through the plateau.
As far as the eye could see, five thousand dwarven berserkers, armed with huge axes about the size of their bodies, chanted in unison.
"Moria, our hometown, the dwarves are back again!"
"We're going to kill all the goblins this time and reclaim our lost territory!"
The dwarves' vanguard legions were in high spirits, and behind the dwarves were a huge number of Terran cavalry with necklaces of beast teeth around their necks.
The Terran cavalry wearing the necklace of beast teeth marched forward, and after hearing the shouts from the dwarves, they were not far behind, and shouted: "Knights of the plains of Graton, let the great emperor hear our voice!" ”
"Fire, fire, fire!"
The cavalrymen raised their spears and shouted in unison. The numerical advantage was vividly reflected at this moment, and as soon as he spoke, he suppressed the shouts of the dwarves.
"It's not fair, we only have five thousand men, and these knights from the plains are sixty thousand!" After being silenced, the dwarves whispered one by one. Now there are only more than 60,000 dwarves, which is simply a naked show-off.
"Wind, wind, wind!"
After the knight's shout, 30,000 archers opened their bowstrings and shouted loudly at the power of the wind to the hum of the thunderbolts.
"Forest, forest, forest!"
The 50,000 sword and shield soldiers guarding the left and right of the troops received the call of the archers. The sword and shield soldiers tapped their shields in unison, and the sound of weapons clashing against shields echoed throughout the team.
Wind, forest, fire, and mountains represent archers, sword and shield soldiers, steppe cavalry, and dwarven berserkers. Everyone shouted in unison at this moment, and the slogans of each other echoed throughout the plateau for a long time.
"Sure enough, they are all combatable soldiers!" In the center of the army, on a cart pulled by thirty-six black horses, Zhang Yao looked at the entire legion and nodded silently, turned his head to Dinether beside him and smiled: "You did a good job, this legion has not insulted the empire!" ”
Zhang Yao looked at Dinether full of praise, in more than five months, Dinether was able to pull an army of 150,000 people out and initially train them into an army, which was actually much beyond Zhang Yao's expectations. Zhang Yao originally thought that Dinether would be able to build a legion of 100,000 people. Who would have thought that this former regent would have such a means to build a huge army of 150,000 people.
"It's all about His Majesty's prestige, and Dinether doesn't dare to take credit." Dineth, who was affirmed by Zhang Yao, bowed slightly, with a modest smile on his face, and explained: "Now that my country has experienced a year of recuperation, the people are rich and have no worries, so the number of people who sign up for the army can rise sharply. Now the will to dominate the world has taken root among the people, and the time has come for the empire to sweep the world, and the old minister only provides everyone with the opportunity to serve the motherland. ”
After Dinether finished speaking, he stepped aside, Zhang Yao smiled and nodded noncommittally, whether it was due to him or not, he could still tell clearly.
Today's empire is thriving, and at least half of the credit goes to Dinethor. If Jiang Yan is still in charge of internal affairs, the empire is certainly developing, but there is definitely no situation where one small step a day is taking and changing with each passing day.
A generation of new people replaces the old, and if the capable people go up, someone has to come down.
Only Jiang Yan, who has worked hard and has little credit, has not yet reached the realm of being in charge of the entire empire. Although Zhang Yao trusted Jiang Yan, the big housekeeper, more in his heart, he could only slash the horse with tears, and let this half-literate and half-military Confucian general manage the finances and logistics, which was more suitable for his role.
"Shh As we were advancing, darkness suddenly fell in the sky. The thirty-six horses pulling the cart neighed in unison.
Zhang Yao followed the neighing of the horses, looked up at the sky, and saw a dark cloud in the distance, covering the sky and the sun.
Rapidly approaching dark clouds, shrouded in a black curtain of light.
Countless figures in black armor loomed in the light curtain, and as they continued to approach, countless soldiers looked up and found that this dark cloud was actually composed of countless pairs of wings.
"Captain of the Vampire Legion, Wu Ding, I have seen Your Majesty!"
A figure in the sky rushed down quickly, and when he was about to crash into the carriage, the wings behind the person flicked lightly, and he knelt down on one knee in front of Zhang Yao.
"Get up!" Zhang Yao waved his hand, looked at Wu Ding in front of him and said, "How are the elves?" ”
"The elves are about to be wiped out, but the other party has a secret weapon that can cause a lot of damage to us vampires, I hope Your Majesty will give us some more time." Wu Ding lowered his head and replied cautiously, for fear of arousing Zhang Yao's disgust.
In fact, for the emperor in front of him, Wu Ding's emotions are very complicated.
The reason why they became vampires was all caused by Zhang Yao's orders, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhang Yao is the person that vampires hate the most.
But under Dracula's suppression, all the vampires of the descendants could not resentfully Zhang Yaosheng because of the constraints of the ancestors. Even the power from the bloodline made them have a strange affection for Zhang Yao, and over time, the members of the Vampire Legion didn't know what attitude to treat Zhang Yao.
An enemy is not an enemy, and a friend is not a friend.
All the vampires know that they don't please Zhang Yao. If you don't behave well, maybe one day you will have no use value, and you will have to go out to sunbathe. Or that life is torment, talking about these vampires who don't hurt their grandmothers and don't love their uncles.
"A secret weapon that can do a lot of damage to vampires!" Zhang Yao ignored Wu Ding's complicated emotions, and instead was very interested in the so-called secret weapon. Vampires, as powerful as they may seem, have a lot of things that can cause them harm. Even ordinary people who master these secrets can also do it to the point of killing vampires.
"Your Majesty, it's a silver weapon. The elves use silver ore to craft weapons, and many of them turn to ashes when they are hit! Wooding was obviously very jealous of the elven weapons, and when he said this, there was a clear dodge in his eyes, obviously suffering a great loss from these silver weapons.
"Are you scared?"
Wu Ding's frightened look was taken in by Zhang Yao, it turned out that before the elves found a way to fight, Wu Ding's battle report every day was to boast about how invincible his legion was, and now he had just suffered a little setback, and he was actually scared like this.
"No, no!" Wu Ding hurriedly shook his head, but the fluttering look in his eyes was still seen by Zhang Yao.
Invincible in bragging, soft eggs after setbacks.
Zhang Yao thought about the gap between Wu Ding and Wu Ding, and his face became more and more unkind to Wu Ding, thinking about whether it was time to change the army commander.
"Your Majesty, it's not that Woodin is incompetent, it's that those elves are too cunning. Please give me another chance, Your Majesty, and I will not let you down! Seeing the killing intent in Zhang Yao's eyes, the vampire legion leader hurriedly knelt on the ground, trying to defend himself.
Listening to Wu Ding's defense, Zhang Yao's face suddenly darkened.
If it weren't for Woodin's incompetence, how could it reflect the cunning of the elves. At this time, Woodin was still making excuses, instead of thinking of a solution to the problem, it seemed that he was really a soldier, and he would be a nest of bears.
"Dracula!" Zhang Yao opened his mouth softly, and when he heard Zhang Yao shouting the name of Daode Gula, he thought that Wu Ding, who had escaped, was happy first. Then in joy, I saw Zhang Yao turn his finger, and after clicking Dracula's name, he stretched out his hand and pointed at himself.
"Your Majesty, give me another chance, I'm just underestimating the enemy, underestimating the enemy" Seeing Zhang Yao pointing at him, Wu Ding's face changed greatly, only to hear Dracula snort coldly and disappear in place, and when he reappeared, a pair of hands with red arm guards had already pierced Wu Ding's chest.
"It's such a waste, in front of my eldest brother, you dare to embarrass me!" Dracula crossed Woodin's chest in his hand, clutching a heart that was still beating.
Wooding, who had lost his heart, his face was already distorted. He had a long mouth as if he wanted to say something, but Dracula, who couldn't wait, had already crushed his heart.
"Poof!" The shattering of his heart caused Woodin's eyes to quickly dilute, and his pale fangs protruding uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth. Even the last words were not spoken, and the first commander of the Vampire Legion died at the hands of Dracula, the ancestor.
After killing Woodin with a single blow, Dracula kicked Woodin's body out of the carriage, shook off the blood on his hands, and stood beside Zhang Yao again.
A legion commander died so easily in front of everyone, and the entire vampire legion was already silent. Even the warriors of all ethnic groups below also lowered their heads in the midst of killing chickens and monkeys, and the 150,000 people did not dare to take a breath.
"I'm stunned to see what, let's go!" In the silent silence, Zhang Yao waved his hand, and the entire army embarked on the journey again.
As for Woodin, who has become a corpse, maybe only after tea and dinner, can still become a talking point in other people's mouths.
