Chapter Ninety-Nine: Counterattack
"War...... Here we go. ”
Iroh stared at the battle map in front of him, and didn't rush to lay out the front line as Vis had imagined.
"Ves. He called Weiss by name, and whether the other party was listening or not, he said to himself, "When the war begins, just do what I told you to fight." If there is a problem that is difficult to decide, I will discuss it with my generals, at least the officers now are a little stronger than they were twelve years ago......"
"Iroh, you-"
"Well, I'm going to be away for a while. ”
As if guessing what Vis wanted to ask, Iroh nodded: "It doesn't matter where I go, I've arranged everything that should be arranged, and then it doesn't matter if I'm not there." You don't have to worry about the other members of the Tokamak faction, we still have to focus on forbearance at the moment, and they won't show up in front of outsiders at will. ”
Vis didn't say anything more, he lowered his eyes slightly, and there was something uncomfortable in his heart for a while.
As a dragon, he naturally knew that the "period of time" that Airo said was at least a few years, and looking at Ailuo like this, he should not have any contact with himself during this time.
In other words...... He seems to finally have a chance to break free from the dragon's grasp?
Although for more than ten years, Weiss has always had a conflict between freedom and obedience in his heart - according to the rules of the dragon clan, the strong are respected, of course he should obey the orders of Iroh, whose strength is far greater than his own, but as a half-blood dragon, especially a black and red half-blood dragon, Weiss's pride can be said to be even above many red dragons, how can he be willing to be at the mercy of Iroh for so long?
Besides, now that neither of them has entered the youth stage, the talent has not awakened, which is equivalent to saying that the strength has not been fully formed, and it is not certain who will be stronger at that time!
For more than ten years, in the eyes of outsiders, Weiss has indeed been glorious, not only occupying the throne of the king, sitting on the wealth of the entire country, but also being regarded as a generation of wise monarchs because of his youth and intelligence, which can be said to have obtained both material and spiritual satisfaction.
However, he also knew that all of this was because of Iroh's backing. If it weren't for Iroh, he wouldn't know where to rob the merchants' money or steal the farmers' cattle and sheep.
Even now, when his power has gradually stabilized, he is still a pawn of Iroh!
That's right, that's how Vesss feels.
On the one hand, he thanked Iroh for giving him the opportunity to be beautiful, and on the other hand, he hated Iroh for controlling it.
So when he suddenly learned that he could have a chance to get out of the shadow of Iroh temporarily, it was indeed a somewhat complicated feeling for Weiss.
Iroh didn't care about Weis's feeling at all, but directly stuffed him with a piece of paper: "Your speech, after I left, immediately called for a counterattack." ”
Before he could finish speaking, Iroh's figure disappeared in Ves's slightly dazed gaze.
- At this moment, Weiss, who recalled this scene, couldn't help but take a deep breath and said calmly to the countless people from all walks of life who had come from different places to fill the square.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have seen everyone's efforts over the past 12 years. I'm glad to see that you've put aside your contradictions with each other in the face of the enemy, and have reborn that weak and rotten Falkenridge with soldiers who are strong enough to deal with the mighty Stasi army. ”
At the same moment, on the battlefield on the border, a Falkenridge soldier was shooting a series of deadly arrows, pouring out his anger on the red-armored Stacy infantry who were pouring in on the opposite side.
Not far from him was a position of magic ballistas, a goblin with the help of his orc comrades, who had completed the final calibration of the ballista, and then let out a small cheer accompanied by the muffled sound of a crossbow bolt being fired.
"Boom!" Farther away, the magic bolt blasted a crater in the ground, and the corpses of several soldiers fell along with it. Soon, however, a heavily armored dragon traversed the pit mercilessly under the knight's control, oblivious to the corpses of the icy Stasi soldiers. More Stacy soldiers, clutching their weapons, braved the rain of arrows to follow the behemoth into a new assault.
"Your efforts have made me and the country feel glorified! Whether you are present or not, it can be said that it is the blood and sweat of all of you that have brought about a glimmer of hope today!"
"Hey, this way, give me support!" shouted a Falkenridge soldier into the distance, his comrades already dead at the feet of the dragon. Not far from him, another Falkenridge soldier immediately noticed the fish that had slipped through the net, and immediately adjusted the magic ballista to aim at the Earth Dragon Knight, who was getting closer and closer.
Hearing only a muffled sound of "bang", a powerful magic crossbow bolt slammed into the heavy armor of the Earth Walking Dragon.
With the sound of the explosion, the hapless knight was blown away by the explosion, and his mount was even worse, being hit directly in the weak spot between the armor, and as a result, the crossbow arrow first pierced the body of the Earth Walking Dragon, and then exploded inside - the result of which the Earth Walking Dragon lost its life completely.
Farther away, the three Earth Dragons vanquished a magic ballista, crushing the soldiers on the battlefield to slag as well.
Thousands of miles away, Weiss stood on a podium in front of the crowd, the first time since the king's accession to the throne that he had given such a formal and large-scale speech, and the first time that so many people had seen his face at the same time.
Although the Transfiguration Potion that Iroh gave him at the beginning limited his ability to restore his body before it expired, it also gave the human appearance the characteristics of changing over time. ,
Twelve years have passed, and the once young boy has become a handsome young man who can make countless women crazy. Many ladies and ladies even offered themselves pillows at aristocratic banquets, but of course it was impossible for Weiss to consider women outside of the dragon family.
He enjoyed the feeling of worship from the people below, and continued to speak: "Today, Grand Duke Jon of Stacy, I hope to plant that double eagle banner from us all over the Western Continent. So, guys, are we going to let those madmen destroy what we hold dear, or are we going to fight back in anger?"
"The cavalry will charge me and kill the Stasi!" a junior officer commanded loudly on horseback as the blood grew red in the border area. Behind him, a phalanx of a hundred cavalry resolutely followed him towards the Stasi army, which was like a vast ocean.
And not far from this cavalry phalanx, several wounded soldiers were receiving emergency treatment. They were lucky, there were no injuries in the vital parts, and there was one who was already lying further away - obviously his carotid artery was injured, and in this case there was no help.
Several other soldiers were hunched over the chaos of the battle until they reached a magical ballista emplacement, leaving a wooden crate in the soft dirt. They didn't have time to speak, but they gestured to their comrades who were operating the ballistas, and without hesitation, they drew their weapons and helped stop the Stasi soldiers who were getting closer.
The operator quickly turned around, hastily grabbed the crossbow bolt inside, returned to his position and began to load.
"This is the greatest disaster our country has ever suffered since its founding! Everyone, the time has come to test us! No matter how brilliant we have achieved in the past, once we lose this one, then everything will cease to exist!" "Weiss looked at the increasingly excited people in the audience, raised his hand and shouted, "So, I hereby ask everyone, you must do your best! Defeat the invaders of Stacy!"
At the top of the Yanlong Fortress, the supreme commander of the front line personally led a few warlocks to analyze the situation in the distance using the magic map: "The situation is not good, the first line of defense is a little untenable to hold on so quickly!"
"My lord, give the order to use the telekinetic magic cannon!" the warlocks immediately suggested. The commander nodded, this super weapon, it's time to come in handy.
The Over-Range Magic Cannon is a weapon that was developed just last month, and now there is only one in the entire defense line, it is powerful, has an extremely long range, has an exceptionally long cooldown time, and requires a special caster to operate, so it can only be used as a tactical strike.
"Boom!" A compressed magic cannonball was accurately fired, and with a scream, the two Earth Dragon Knights who were about to break through the defense line were blown to pieces along with their mounts, and the surrounding Stasi soldiers immediately slowed down.
Falkenridge's soldiers cheered, and with the help of the cavalry that joined them, the already crumbling defensive line became impregnable in an instant, and the Stasi army retreated like a tidal wave once again.
In the central square of Zakif, Vis finished the last sentence of his speech: "Now, guys, I need you! This country, and her people, need you—give everything to Falkenridge! I need you to join me in driving the Stasi back where they are supposed to be! Let Archduke Jon's ambitions come to naught!"
"I declare, a full-scale counterattack, officially begins!"
"Long live the King, long live Falkenridge!"
The people in the square shouted feverishly. Now, patriotic fervor has been stirred up like never before and will spread rapidly.
In this way, at least mentally, there is no longer a clear gap between the two countries.
On the border of Falkenridge, in the fortress of the Yanlong, the Supreme Commander, General Igor, also gave what he considered the most important order in his life at this time - an official counterattack!
On this day, countless Falkenridge people were overjoyed. The hundred-year-old hatred between the two countries finally no longer needs to be concealed, for this day, they have been preparing for a long, long time, and have been waiting for this order for a long, long time.
Now, the Falkenridge people's dream counterattack plan has finally begun, and the all-out war between the two countries has been pushed to the first big climax with the counterattack of Falkenridge.
