The tragic situation of the dead soldiers is a wake-up call for them all the time.

Two nights later, the two minor nobles secretly left the coalition and infiltrated the nearby mountains.

By the time the coalition army finally arrived outside Star Picking City, there were only about 12,000 people left, and Jiajing and the others had already returned to Badaling, arranging the wilderness battlefield, trying to keep all this force here.

The people who arrived here with Ackes were all aristocratic forces that had a great connection with Indonia and coexisted with honor and disgrace.

Cafirot of Star Picking City had already received the news and knew that Innia was going to deal with Badaling. He is Yihong's partner, and seeing that the power of the Yanjing family has been expanding at an alarming rate, he knows the power of Badaling the most, so he is not optimistic about this coalition army at all.

Moreover, Star Picking City and Yin Linia are thousands of kilometers away, and he, the Earth Emperor of Star Picking City, doesn't have to look at Yin Linia's face at all, and now most of his income is given by Yi Hong. Even if Badaling's power swelled, he did not ask Cafirot to revise the agreement, and he never owed him a single gold coin in dividends. Therefore, he has always had a good impression of Jiajing, and naturally he will not let this coalition army enter Star Picking City to supply supplies.

At the behest of Cafirot, the guards of Star Picking City climbed the city walls and closed the gates as if they were facing a great enemy. Blocked the coalition forces outside of Starpicking City.

The reason for his closure is very simple, the coalition army has more troops than Star Picking City, in case these troops have bad intentions and want to rebel against the empire, where can he, the city lord, afford it.

The treacherous and cunning Cafirot naturally knew that the coalition forces would not dare to attack the Imperial City, and Ex did not have the courage to spend troops to attack Star Picking City before dealing with Badaling.

Ex had long expected that Star Picking City would not let their army enter the city to rest, but he didn't expect that Cafirot would not even allow them to send people into the city to purchase supplies, and they shouted outside the city for most of the day, but there was still no reaction from the city walls. Faced with their glittering bows and arrows and the extremely nervous looks of the soldiers of Starpicking City, Ex had no choice but to curse hatefully, no longer wasting his lips and tongues.

Cafirot was upset when he heard Ex's shout, and had already gone back to his city lord's mansion to rest and drink Bilo Spring.

Just kidding, if I let you supply me, what if I capture Badaling? I still have to rely on Badaling to make me a lot of money, so that I can slowly develop my own power, entrench in Star City, and become a mountain eagle in the Great Wasteland like Gomez!

The Indo-Calnia coalition was also frowning in annoyance, their spies couldn't enter the Great Wasteland to find out the news, and they wanted to hire mercenaries who were familiar with the terrain when they were replenishing in Star Picking City. But now he can't even enter Star Picking City, let alone replenish supplies.

They couldn't have imagined that the little nobles of Yan Jing actually had such great ability in Star Picking City, so that the city lord of Star Picking City would not even give face to the Invenia family!

There are few cities nearby, and the coalition army's logistics vehicles have been destroyed a lot, and the coalition army has not seen urban supplies for two or three hundred miles. Now the remaining rations can only last for more than ten days at most, and it seems that they can only rest outside Star Picking City for one day, and then seize the time to launch an attack on Badaling. Otherwise, when the rations are exhausted, where will they have the strength to compete with Badaling.

Of course, Ax will not attack Star Picking City, which is Cafirot's territory, but it was established by the Empire in order to prevent the bandit forces of the Great Wasteland from pouring into the interior of the Empire.

In case they capture Star Picking City, it's no wonder that Gugnaren doesn't bother them. And even if they attack Star Picking City now, it will not be easy, the high and thick rock wall, the Innia will have to at least send twice as many troops to be sure to take it down. Besides, when the time comes, Badaling will kill two dragon knights casually, and they will have to walk around without food.

Ex and their food and grass supplies are not enough, they cannot obtain supplies and horses to graze in Star Picking City, and they dare not easily enter the Great Wasteland. In desperation, he could only build fortifications on a mountain col more than ten kilometers away from Xingxing City, rest for one night, and prepare to wave his army to Badaling the next day and go straight to Huanglong. In the case that the terrain of the Great Wasteland is not very clear, it is a safer way to directly attack the opponent's headquarters, which can make the opponent have empty tactics but cannot use them, and in the end they can only stick to Badaling.

The slave hunters of Incalia have entered the Great Wilderness many times, and they often operate in the vicinity of Star Picking City, but the Great Wilderness stretches for more than 3,000 miles and spans more than 1,000 miles, and the people of Incalia will never know all the terrain.

In particular, I don't know that Badaling has long been transformed by the Yanjing family into a steel fortress, and the terrain of Badaling is dangerous, and it is really difficult for siege weapons such as siege vehicles, catapults, and bed crossbows to be pushed up the mountain under the obstruction of Badaling soldiers.

Without these heavy siege weapons, it would not be enough to fill Badaling with crowd tactics.

The exhausted coalition forces did not even realize their wish for a good night's rest, and the familiar roar of dragons and eagles continued to sound beyond the mountain pass, which frightened the coalition soldiers into their throats, unable to sleep at night, and did not even dare to remove their weapons and armor. Who knows if the other party will take advantage of the night to make a surprise attack, this is not the first time such an emergency.

Ex also couldn't sleep, so he had to get up in the middle of the night to practice his spiritual power a few times, and his rest time didn't add up to more than twenty hours these days, if it weren't for his excellent physical fitness, he would probably be tired and lie down. The golden warriors are already like this, not to mention ordinary soldiers, marching thousands of miles, being watched by several top masters day and night, the other party can rest, but they don't dare to do this, and now they can maintain a certain mental state when they arrive in Star Picking City, which is really commendable.

The next day, Ax looked at the red eyes of the soldiers, and couldn't help but sigh, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong for the family to resolutely decide to completely oppose Badaling and start an all-out war this time.

To his relief, the soldiers and a dozen magicians in charge of the bed crossbow had rested for a while under the strong protection of everyone, and their spirits had improved a lot, and there should be no problem with using the five bed crossbows to suppress the opponent's dragon knights and super Warcraft warriors.

He didn't dare to apply poison to the armor-piercing Mithril crossbow arrows in advance, because these blue manticore venom belonged to active psychotoxins, and the effective time was only two or three hours, in case the bottle blessed with ice magic was opened and taken out of the special ice storage ring, the effectiveness would be greatly reduced after three hours, and it was difficult to say whether it would still work on the dragon, and it would be even more toxic after a day.
