Chapter Ninety-Four: Stratagem
At the other end of the valley, Count Tara Khan was waiting with a large army, and when he heard the shouts of killing, he couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Sure enough, it's a young man, I can't hold my breath!" he said to himself, "and that will make my plan more easily realized." β
At this time, there was still a gap between the time when the two sides agreed to join forces to attack, and it was said that everyone had been waiting silently, but those adventurers couldn't help but make the first move. On the one hand, this shows that they are jealous and hateful, and they can't rub half a grain of sand in their eyes, and on the other hand, it also shows that they are impetuous and can't hold their breath, and they don't have the patience that people who do big things should have.
This is of course excellent news for the Earl.
He didn't give an order immediately, but pretended to listen attentively again before asking the adjutant beside him, "Is there a fight over there?"
"It should be. The adjutant replied, "But the scout hasn't come back yet." β
"Then wait for the scouts to come back. The Count said calmly, "Marching and fighting is a matter of the highest order, and there is no room for carelessness. It is better to be slow than aggressive. β
The adjutant nodded in agreement, but there was a flash of doubt in his eyes.
Of course, he knew that the two sides were joining forces to attack the demons, and since everyone was joining forces, of course they should attack together. At this moment, the comrades-in-arms moved in advance, although it was a little hasty, but it was also possible that they had encountered an accident. It is said that as soon as they hear the sound of battle, they should immediately send troops to cooperate, how can they wait a little longer?
But the doubts in his eyes were only fleeting, because he thought of the answer.
Demons are certainly not a good thing, and a group of powerful adventurers are not necessarily beneficial either.
For the lord, the stability of the territory is the most important. And the core of territorial stability lies in military and popular prestige. If the army is strong and the people are in awe, they can make the territory as stable as a mountain.
The group of "Warriors of Tara Khan" is too strong, and they are even afraid that they can resist the city of Tara Khan, and their personalities are extremely lively, they really have something to do and nothing to do, and in just a few months, they have a great reputation near the city of Tara Khan. In the long run, they will inevitably hinder the authority of the lord, and may even subvert the rule - it is not uncommon for large adventuring parties to seize the territory. Although it is generally viscounts or barons who have been captured in history, no one wants Count Tara Khan to set a precedent for a county to be captured by adventurers.
This lieutenant is a descendant of the county, and belongs to the type that even if he is willing to surrender, others will never believe it. Therefore, he could not allow the county to be usurped by the adventurers, no matter what.
For this reason, even if it is a reversal of right and wrong, there is nothing to hesitate!
In his mind, the Count must have thought so.
If Eric had agreed to the Earl's marriage before, then everyone would have become a family, but Eric had rejected the Earl's marriage proposal.
Since you can't be a family, you have to ask you to die!
Thinking of this, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and his eyes looked into the valley much more vicious.
The earl naturally felt the change in the aura on the adjutant's body, turned his head to look, and suddenly understood in his heart, and couldn't help but laugh secretly.
He, an old fox, couldn't guess what the adjutant was thinking! Since this matter was crooked, he would not say anything to correct itβanyway, as long as the purpose was the same, it didn't matter what the motive was.
The chief and deputy leaders of the army all looked immovable, and the middle and lower-ranking officers naturally did not dare to act rashly. It wasn't until a few minutes later, when the scouts reported that "there was a battle in the valley and saw the light of magic stirring," that they were asked if they were going to send troops now.
Before the earl could speak, the adjutant first rejected the request: "Do you only see the light of magic stirring, but not the actual battle situation?
The officer who asked for instructions was stunned for a moment, and looked at the earl suspiciously, but saw that the earl's face was as calm as water, as if he had not heard anything.
Secretly startled in his heart, he hurriedly nodded and retreated, giving the order to the scouts.
"Closer?" the scout captain was taken aback, "If you look at that kind of battle up closer...... It's dangerous!"
"Of course I know the danger, but ......," the officer hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice, "Earl, I'm afraid I don't want to send troops so quickly." You get the idea, right?"
The scout captain thought for a moment and showed a sudden realization expression: "I understand! We just have to come out and clean up the mess at the end. β
"Just understand, you know what to do, right?"
"I see!"
The captain of the scout nodded again and again, and went out with his men and horses again.
It's been a long time.
At least half an hour later, when the sound of fighting in the middle of the valley began to fade, he returned and reported, "In the valley, adventurers have fought with summoned demons. β
He really said this in the Spring and Autumn Period, but it was this effect that the Count wanted. He stroked his beard, smiled with satisfaction, and gave the order to march.
Tarakhan, who had been waiting for a long time, led the army to step forward slowly.
This time, the earl mobilized thousands of soldiers and horses, and thousands of people acted together, which was naturally messy, so no one noticed that there was one more person in the team.
In the sky, Little Eggplant and Lao Liu were amazed, and couldn't help but be amazed by Erica's ability to shoot cases.
Her actions were completely unexpected by the traversers, and she did not climb to the top of the mountain to snoop, but directly blended into the army led by Tara Khan.
This army is dominated by cavalry, and although they have all dismounted at this moment, the cavalry's full body attire includes a helmet with a mask, wearing such a helmet, no one can tell who is who, and can only be distinguished by experience and voice. Erica is at home in this environment, and she disappears all of a sudden.
When the news reached the command center, Sleepless couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
He had judged that Erica was going to climb to the top of the mountain to keep an eye on him, but he was mistaken.
The venomous-tongued Horus immediately teased: "It seems that our Sleepless Army Division has also made mistakes." This is a wise man's thousand thoughts, and there must be a mistake?"
Sleepless shook his head: "I'm not a wise man, there's nothing to be ashamed of losing to Erica." β
"That's right. "I thought about it, if she crossed into our world, she would definitely be a bewitching figure, a heartthrob at best, and a disaster to the country and the people." There is nothing abnormal about losing to her in terms of resourcefulness. β
"Anyway, we don't have to fight wits with her!" Long Biao said coldly, "No matter how smart she is, if she smashes her fist on the head, can't it still become experience points!"
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
"Alright, the actors are almost on the stage, let's prepare the special effects. Sanyu pulled out the knife, "Inform the pandas, after the special effects, it's time for them to appear!"
