Chapter 2 Different Thoughts on Both Sides of the Mountains
Compared with the doubts in his heart, Shalon Linuer, who is the leader of the Greedy Wolf Legion, is more worried about the next battle.
According to the super combat effectiveness of the Zhenbei Army of the Lampari Kingdom before, as long as they continue to pursue with victory, Sharon Linur has no confidence that he can resist the opponent's fierce attack with the Greedy Wolf Legion.
Even with the assistance of the LTTE, I'm afraid it's going to be a problem.
But fortunately, after the Zhenbei Army of the Lampari Kingdom regained control of the entire Muerto Mountains, and forced the Greedy Wolf Legion and the Tiger Legion to retreat to the point that they could only rebuild fortifications ten kilometers away from the Muerto Mountains, the Zhenbei Army suddenly slowed down its offensive and did not continue to invade the territory of the Sark Kingdom in the north of the Muerto Mountains, but began to rebuild positions on the Muerto Mountains, putting on a strict defensive posture.
According to the analysis of the chief of staff of the legion, Ai Wei Joao, this should be the northern army of the Lampari Kingdom that is afraid of going too deep into the territory of the Sark Kingdom, and will be swallowed by the superior forces gathered by the Sark Kingdom because of the lone army, which will stabilize first.
There is also a possibility that the reason why the Lampari Kingdom was able to reflect such a fierce offensive before was also a desperate and all-out counterattack against the previous actions of the Sark Kingdom.
With the national strength of the Lampari Kingdom, it suddenly produced so many armor and weapons for the Zhenbei Army, and also equipped with so many arrows that they were released without money, plus those three trebuchets that were surprisingly powerful, which were simply beyond the common sense of Chalon-Li-Nur and Ai-Wai-Joao, must have mobilized almost all the forces of the kingdom.
This kind of horrific attrition may last for one or two battles, but if it continues for a long time, it is fine. Not to mention that the kingdom of Lampari has always been relatively poor among the surrounding kingdoms. Even the relatively much more powerful Kingdom of Sark would certainly not be able to hold out for long.
So Charon Linoor and Ivy João consulted. They even began to think about starting a counterattack.
Although the Zhenbei Army has now occupied the advantageous terrain, and the counterattack will cause huge losses to the Greedy Wolf Legion, if the army of the Lampari Kingdom is allowed to control the Muerto Mountains, then the entire southern territory of the Sark Kingdom will be almost undefended in front of the other side.
If the northern army of the Lampari Kingdom invades the Kingdom of Sark regardless of the situation and causes turmoil, I am afraid that without waiting for the military department to be held accountable, Sharon Linur himself will want to wipe his neck and commit suicide.
However, under the persuasion of Ivy João, Chalon-Linoor finally temporarily dismissed the idea of counterattacking.
"Before figuring out the reality of the other party. We'd better not act rashly. The General Staff of the Military Department has taken note of this particular situation, and I think it will not be long before the Intelligence Department will have corresponding information back. Once we know the exact situation, it's not too late for us to make a decision. ”
Having worked with Ivy João for more than a decade, Chalons Linoor trusted his judgment so much that he put down the idea of a counter-offensive and began to wait patiently.
And the Zhenbei Army, as Ivy Joao had guessed, never continued its offensive.
So after three months of frequent fighting and several reversals, the two sides spent a very strange period of peace.
By mid-August, an emissary from Talen, the capital of the Kingdom of Sark, had arrived at the camp of the Greedy Wolf Legion, not far from the Muerto Mountains.
This messenger, in addition to bringing orders from the military headquarters. He also brought an intelligence document from the General Staff of the Military Department.
The order was to ask the Greedy Wolf Legion not to act rashly and to temporarily abandon the idea of counterattacking. Defend the southern border of the kingdom.
As for this intelligence document, it is a description of the reasons why there will be such a strong change in equipment in the northern army of the Lampari Kingdom.
After reading the information article, Sharon Linur was full of incredulity, and said to Ai Wei Joao in amazement: "This is a joke! Ai Wei, can you believe it? We were actually defeated not by the northern army of the Lampari Kingdom, but by a small chamber of commerce in the Lampari Kingdom that had not even heard of its name!"
"What's going on?" said Ivy João, taking the information and looking at it carefully.
After reading it word for word, Ivy João pondered for a moment, the expression on his face was a little unbelievable, but more worried.
"If this information is true, then our future shape may become very bad. Think about it, if those guys from the northern army of the Lampari Kingdom don't worry about weapons and equipment in the future, and even have several times more arrows than us, plus those terrifying magic trebuchets, what else can we do to compete with them?"
The expression on Shalon's face instantly became heavy, and he took the information document and read it carefully, frowning deeply.
"If the offensive of the guys in the Zhenbei Army can be maintained all the time, the brothers will indeed be unable to stop it. Could it be ...... Is it possible for our Sark Kingdom to be counterattacked by the Lampari Kingdom?"
"It's not impossible. Ivy João said in a deep voice. "If our weapons and equipment can't keep up, then this is not your guess, but it will become a fact. ”
"But we don't have this damn Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in our kingdom!" "Sharon Linur spat viciously on the ground, then made a cutting gesture on his neck with a short palm. "Since the intelligence says that the core figure of this Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is their president, that guy named Xu or something. In order for him and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to no longer help the army of the Lampari Kingdom, it is better to kill the person surnamed Xu directly. ”
"Do you think the General Staff will not do it if you can?" said Ivy João with a wry smile. "If we could kill such an important person as the Lampari Kingdom, then the Lampari Kingdom would have been destroyed by us long ago. ”
"What should I do then? Seeing that the Zhenbei Army is getting stronger and stronger, is it better to kill us all?"
"Don't worry, since the Intelligence Agency has found out this information, then they will definitely make corresponding moves. Ivy João patted Sharon Linour on the shoulder and comforted: "And didn't the intelligence say that these stupid Lampari people actually cut off their hands and feet." Constantly suppressing the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. No wonder the offensive of the Zhenbei Army stopped after that. Without the support of this new flying chamber of commerce. It is impossible for the Zhenbei Army to still guarantee such a strong supply of equipment. ”
"Hey. These Lampari guys are stupid enough. If we have such a new flying chamber of commerce in the Kingdom of Sark, then it is strange that we must offer it like a treasure. It's okay if these Lampari people don't support it, they are still suppressing it everywhere, I really don't know if they have a lot of in their heads. "Shalon? Li Nur was a little gloating.
"Anyway, they gave us plenty of time to react. Ivy João smiled: "Believe me, with the ability of the General Staff Department, I will definitely be able to do something beneficial to us." ”
Sharon Linur snorted softly: "I don't like the way those guys in the General Staff Department do things, it's too insidious and despicable. ”
"Regardless of the means. As long as it can help us. Ivy Joao smiled and said, "I just hope that guy named Xu Yi won't be too difficult." ”
###
When the two giants of the Greedy Wolf Legion were analyzing and discussing a piece of information, on a hill in the Muerto Mountains ten kilometers away, Leslie Stark, the leader of the fifth squad of the third brigade of the Zhenbei Army, was frowning at a device that looked a little similar to a bow and arrow, but was completely different in appearance and operation.
After picking it up and playing with it for a while, Viscount Leslie still couldn't understand the principle of this thing, so he had to ask the quartermaster of the Zhenbei Army who sent a batch of weapons and equipment over, "How is this thing used?"
With a flattering smile, the stocky quartermaster took out a piece of paper from the wooden box where the weapons had been transported and handed it to Viscount Leslie.
"Viscount, you see, this is a schematic diagram of the operation of this magic repeater. I would like to use your intellect. You only need to look at it once to understand how to do it. ”
"Is it that simple?" Viscount Leslie looked at the diagram suspiciously, and found that several operation steps were drawn on the schematic diagram. Sure enough, it's very simple and straightforward.
After carefully looking at it twice, Viscount Leslie picked up a magic repeater, and then took out a cylinder about half a meter long and about twenty centimeters in diameter from the wooden box, weighed it in his hand, it was about five kilograms, and installed the cylinder in the launcher under the magic repeater according to the first step on the operation diagram.
Once the cylinder was set, Viscount Leslie raised the magic repeater with both hands, aimed at a tree about twenty meters away from him, and gently pressed an action button on the magic repeater.
"Whoosh-"
With a bang, a feathered arrow made a rapid sound of breaking through the air, and instantly hit the tree when Viscount Leslie saw only a shadow.
Viscount Leslie looked at it, and with the powerful combat power of his fifth-level warrior, he could clearly see that most of the feathered arrow had actually sunk deep into the trunk of the tree.
"It's so powerful?" Viscount Leslie couldn't help but be taken aback.
Although he came from the Stark family, he received an extremely strict education from an early age, which, combined with his extraordinary talent, made him extremely good at riding and archery.
But he knew very well that even if he held the special elven longbow that he treasured in his family, it would be impossible for him to shoot an arrow to achieve this amazing effect.
Thinking of the instructions on the operation diagram just now, Viscount Leslie raised his magic repeater again, aimed it at the tree, and pressed another button.
"Whoosh-"
A series of sounds of breaking through the air sounded rapidly, and then a muffled sound of "tuk tuk tuk" was heard.
A total of fifty arrows from the quiver were shot out in less than five breaths, all of them deep into the trunk of the great tree.
By the time the last arrow was fired, the dense arrows had already pierced the middle of the trunk, and with the powerful impact of the last few arrows, the whole tree squeaked, and it was directly disconnected from the middle, and the upper half of the tree fell to the ground with a bang, smashing out the dust.
Viscount Leslie looked at the terrifying scene in front of him in shock, then looked down at the magic repeater in his hand, couldn't help but curse in a low voice, shook his head and sighed softly: "This Xu Yi can actually research such a terrifying magic machine. Looks like...... The grandsons of the Sark Kingdom are going to be in bad luck now. (To be continued......)
