Chapter Ninety-Eight: Reliol's Decision
The southern coast of Nozem.
Wooden boats, large and small, crowded the shore, and the black-pressed natives landed on this vast coast in droves.
It was close to the southern gate of Noze, and in order to prevent the archers on the walls from attacking again, Marcas commanded his army to temporarily camp in the nearby woods - the trees here were towering into the sky, with wide branches and leaves, which were a blind spot in the archers' field of vision, and were usually only used by fishermen in the southern district to rest, pick fruits, and cut wood.
"When we get here, we can bring our army's combat power to the fullest. Marcus laughed triumphantly as he watched the natives swinging and climbing the trees and scurrying like wild monkeys. Because he knew that once they entered the jungle terrain, the natives would be able to fight to the fullest, and they crouched naked in the dense jungle, crawling on all fours, approaching their prey, silently and deadly.
As for the black-armored hippos, after coming ashore, under the control of the Ten Thousand Beasts Venerable Ring, they automatically switched to the iron armor state, one is to lock the moisture under the skin and protect the mucous membranes, and the other is to form one mobile cover after another, in this state, even if it is a stone-throwing attack, it cannot easily hurt their lives.
"Puff puff~" The ironclad hippos did not receive new instructions, so they could only leisurely walk around the woods, letting out a deafening stinky fart sound, setting off a wave of dust on the shore. Some people with bad stomach even have a loose stomach and make a strange sound of "poof, poof, poof".
"Oh God, what does this smell like..."The Nozer archers on the ramparts pinched their noses and frowned, complaining, and some of the soldiers were so smoked that they could barely open their eyes because of the stench - it was clear that the leading side of civilization could not adapt to the "native culture" of the other.
"Hey, isn't it just that the hippos farted and pulled some, and it smoked this group of 'big ladies' can't stand it. "Bald heads have lived on the island for so long that they have long since adapted to the original smell.
"Nuoze is a big country, it's just like that, when we were bandits and robbers before, I was afraid that they would die of fear, and when I saw the little minions of the lord's family, I really didn't expect that we would become so powerful now. Marcas said and wiped the dust off the Ten Thousand Beasts Ring, and was ready to worship it as a treasure, "Old man, I know that you know me best, and you will work hard to help me dominate the world, and when the time comes, I will let all the people enshrine you on the table!"
[Dominate the world?I'm just taking you ashore to find someone, don't think too much] The wizard in the ring muttered [Why can't I sense the four gods of Noze, it's really strange, I originally thought I was going to fight, but I didn't expect it to just make a little splash]
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll help you find someone, you help me complete the hegemony, we just cooperate with each other, very good, very good!" Marcas rubbed his hands, already immersed in the sea of obscenity.
On the city walls, watchtowers.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" the city protector and the generals knelt on the ground in fear, and did not dare to raise their heads.
As everyone knows, Lerior's heart is also a mess, although he has also experienced several wars and has rich experience in resisting the enemy, but against this indigenous army that does not play cards according to normal routines and specializes in aliens, it is also useless, such as the group of hippos just now, just the stinky fart smell created at will, which has interfered with the combat ability of the archers (some want to hold the bow but it is too stinky to pinch their noses, so they can't fight; some can tolerate the smell but are smoked so that they can't open their eyes and lose their combat ability).
"You stand down first, stand still, and don't act without my orders. With a wave of his hand, Reriol pushed everyone away, and he grasped the tower bar with both hands, and fell into deep thought again.
Now Nuoze's final weapon can only rely on the only remaining statue, but if it is used at such a time, it will be too wasteful, and the strength shown by the enemy cannot predict its depth.
Fortunately, for the time being, the enemy has not made much aggression, and they have little interest in attacking the city, and it seems that they are also testing our next move.
Spend time with them, hold on to the city, and let them starve to death outside?Or wait for night to fall and launch a wave of surprise attacks? No, don't provoke them again, if you summon that kind of anti-heaven creature again, won't the southern wall of Noze be immediately pierced out of a big hole?
"Hey..."Leliol sighed as he looked at the city, he knew that it would take months just to repair the eastern wall after the war, and the gains outweighed the losses.
"Your Majesty, why don't you turn to Tanatos and use their power to get rid of this daring army of earth monkeys?" Anufara suggested a feasible plan.
As the King's henchman, he has been acting as both an emissary and a watchdog for the Alliance, and just recently, he sensed the commotion in Thanatos, first "S" returning to the city without saying goodbye, and then the Six Swords arriving from all over the country to gather in the Scarlet Castle, all of which seemed to suggest that a new "show" was brewing in the northeast corner of the continent. At this time, if you can successfully persuade the immortal king to send troops to help, on the one hand, you can take advantage of the chaos to kidnap a few young generals and torture their intentions, and on the other hand, it is also beautiful to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and lie down to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
"No, don't do that, this battle is both a new disaster and a new opportunity from God. Without thinking, Reriol quickly rejected the idea, and then laughed, "Did you notice that the leader of this group of natives is two people of completely different skin colors and costumes, like they are from the mainland. โ
"Your Majesty said that there are indeed two of them. Anufara had a knack for memorizing, and instantly remembered the appearance of the two menโthey were standing on the deck of the largest wooden ship, with their waists and chests up, with a gold ring on their left and a gold necklace, and they had a strong smell of turtles all over their bodies, looking like nouveau riche who walked with the wind.
"By the way, there is a bunch of female natives standing behind them, holding fruits and fanning them respectfully, could it be the head of this group of natives?"
"That's right, even if you still have a bit of brains, you think, how did these two guys become their leaders because they don't speak the same language as the natives?"
"It's... Maybe it's some kind of out-of-the-way spell, similar to the Wild Witch's brainwashing technique?" Anufara speculated uncertainly, after all, the army was very large, about 5,000 people at sight, and the Wild Wizard it had seen had used a brainwashing method to control a team of a few hundred people at most. (I'm afraid that even if the two of them smashed their heads, they couldn't think of using the pure natural method of gold coins to buy the natives)
"The behemoth that appeared on the sea just now, and these strange-looking hippos, should also be the spells cast by these two people, if my inference is correct, those two should be the masters of the seclusion (I wonder if Marcus will die of laughter in the arms of the natives when he hears this). โ
"What do you mean..."
"Why don't we throw an olive branch, open the south gate, and welcome them into the city!" a new plan appeared in Lelior's heart, like a magic bean seed, instantly swelling and sprouting, taking up his whole body, "Of course, we have to send an envoy to negotiate first." โ
