Chapter 53: A Delaying Tactic
"Your Royal Highness, I'm afraid we can't take the initiative to meet it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Marquis Eisen thought for a while, and finally spoke.
Casio frowned, and his voice was mocking: "What? The people of the Graka Empire don't even dare to face the enemy now?"
Filez's face changed slightly, and when she was about to refute it, she was stopped by the Marquis of Eisen.
Marquis Eisen shook his head: "Things are not what you think, but our troops are not enough to fight the enemy. ”
Dolores spoke at this time: "How many troops do you have in Eagle's Nest City now?"
"The Giant Eagle Knight is still in the city, and there are only about fifteen hundred people who can be used, and there are about five hundred ground guards. ”
Casio raised his eyebrows, although he is not from Eagle's Nest City, but Eagle's Nest City is a training base for the Golaka Imperial Air Force, even if the reserve troops in it will not be as many as military fortresses, it will definitely not be so small.
According to his estimates, the Giant Eagle Knight should have at least three thousand to be considered normal.
There were 3,000 Giant Eagle Knights, and with his understanding of Aida's command tactics, he could directly defeat Aida's troops without relying on defensive formations.
Three thousand to ten thousand, it seems like a huge disparity in numbers, but if the tactics are used properly, it is not impossible!
But now, this number is really too small.
Even if Casio patted his chest and promised that these more than a thousand giant eagle knights would be able to defeat Aida's army as long as they paid a sufficient price, Marquis Eisen would never believe in themselves, let alone take the initiative to meet the enemy.
After all, there are defensive circles to rely on.
Even if Casio was to choose, he would not be willing to make such a sacrifice!
"What's going on? Even if you exclude the Giant Eagle Knight, who was transferred, shouldn't there be only so many people left in Eagle's Nest City?"
Don't look at Doloris, she usually looks like she is easy to talk to, but when she really shows the majesty of Her Royal Highness the princess, she still doesn't dare to underestimate her.
Marquis Aisen suddenly smiled bitterly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, isn't this the empire saying that our annual expenses in Eagle's Nest City are too big and have cut expenses. So we have no choice but to slowly reduce the Eagle's Nest City's own standing Giant Eagle Rider to complete the annual training mission. ”
This time it was Dolores' turn to wonder, "Why didn't I ever know about the Empire's Spending on Eagle's Nest?"
Marquis Eisen was stunned for a moment, and looked at Dolores at each other, both of them thought of a possibility almost at the same time, and their faces were not very good-looking.
Casio sighed secretly, the empire may not really have cut the expenses of Eagle's Nest City, but some of it was filled by some people.
This empire is really full of holes!
However, now is obviously not the time to discuss these things, because the entire sky above Eagle's Nest City has been occupied by Aida's Firewing Legion, like a sea of fiery red clouds, floating in the sky, illuminating half of Eagle's Nest City as bright as day.
"Your Royal Highness, the enemy generals have been named to see you. Just then, a knight stepped forward to report.
After thinking about it, Dolores agreed to the request to meet on the other side. However, instead of taking place in a face-to-face manner, this meeting uses the "Overseer's Eye".
The Overseer's Eye transmits not only images, but also sounds. As a result, the "Overseer's Eye", which rose into the air, quickly projected the situation above.
In the projection, in the sea of fire, there were knights carrying them with fire wings shuttling across the sky, constantly making roaring sounds.
And a being that was far larger than the other firewings slowly emerged from the separate firewing group.
Looking at the young man standing above the giant Firewing, Casio's eyes narrowed slightly.
Aida, who is now in his youth, is a little less stable and powerful through continuous victories than he was middle-aged, but he also has a fierce temperament that he did not have in middle age.
At this time, Aida is like a sharp sword out of the sheath, even if he stands in the sea of people, it will make people notice his existence for a moment.
Aida performed a standard aristocratic etiquette to Dolores in the projection, and smiled, "Your Royal Highness, your beauty is really as rumored to be, the brightest moon among the stars, and it is a great honor to meet you." ”
"Let me introduce myself, I'm Aida Rousserod, the commander of the Sixth Legion of the Waltis Empire's Air Cavalry. ”
When Aida introduced herself, some people couldn't help but glance at Casio, thinking to themselves that His Royal Highness, who had always had a bad reputation, really didn't talk nonsense this time.
Of course, there are also people who are psychologically dark, wondering if Casio knows Aida so well that everyone doesn't know much about it, does it prove that he is secretly involved in the Waltis Empire?
"Your Excellency, I have heard of your prestige a lot. I don't know if you came to Eagle's Nest City with an entire legion today, what advice do you have?" Doloris didn't talk nonsense and got straight to the point.
Aida said politely: "That's right, our Royal Highness the Prince has always admired your demeanor, so I specially instructed me to invite you to the Waltis Empire as a guest. ”
"In that case, give me an invitation directly, and I won't refuse. And why use this method?" Dolores spoke without leaking, embodying the eloquence that had been cultivated by years of wandering among the nobles.
"There is a custom in our empire that only the more people invited, can the heart of the inviter be revealed. ”
"If there is such a custom, wouldn't it be better for your Royal Highness the Prince to come in person?" said Dolores mockingly.
"His Royal Highness the Prince has important things to do now, I'm afraid it's not very convenient. ”
Dolores shook her head and chuckled, "If that's what you say, you're not sincere." ”
After a pause, Dolores suddenly asked, "If I am willing to go, then will you take me directly out of the territory of the Golaka Empire?"
"Your Royal Highness?" Clonn was immediately anxious when they heard this.
Dolores waved her hand to keep them from interjecting.
Aida was silent for a moment, and then said, "If Your Royal Highness the Princess is willing, I will naturally send a guard to personally escort you to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Seeing Dolores and Aida's nonsense there without any real content, Casio's eyes showed a look of thought, and he began to think about what Aida was doing by saying so many useless words.
Suddenly, Casio seemed to think of something, and said directly: "Don't talk to him, he is distracting us and stalling for time." ”
Hearing Casio's sudden opening, everyone present was slightly stunned, and Aida also looked at Casio in surprise.
"What do you mean?" Doloris asked Casio directly.
Looking at Aida, who was still smiling in the projection, Casio pointed to the defensive circle outside the skylight, with an anxious face: "Aida's people are destroying the defensive circle!"
"How could it be ......"
Someone was about to laugh and refute Casio, when they heard a series of explosions resounding in the Eagle's Nest City, and the giant towers that were the fulcrum of the defensive circle had a big explosion!
