Chapter 240: Final Word (4) (Ask for Recommendation!Ask for a Monthly Pass!Ask for Subscription!)
Huang Tang was in his stomach, and his anger began to rise again.
The targets of the Emperor's wrath were the war priests who arranged various affairs "arrogantly" in the camp and made themselves like puppets.
After they met the Emperor with the edict of the camel god, the entire empire of the camels was mobilized: all the Bactrian nobles sent their most elite private soldiers to gather around their Caesar to form a powerful army.
The existence of this legion has only one purpose, that is, to find the warriors of the Dragon's Clan led by Bradge and conquer the cities in the Empire, force them to fight a decisive battle, and completely solve this military armed gang that is "running around and committing crimes" in the Empire.
Whether it is in terms of the proportion of the standing army in the legion, or the object of allegiance of the Bactrian nobles, the command of this legion should belong to the Camel Emperor. But thanks to the intervention of the camel god – and the emperor could not disobey the will of the King of Bactrian – it was the newly turned war priests who really ruled the largest army in the history of the camels.
"Can't even do basic healing!" tossed the golden goblet into the corner of the tent, letting it smash into a pair of steel armor and smash it into a corner. He complained to the attendants beside him, who did not dare to answer, but instead showed an expression of "please be careful", but to no avail, "suddenly said that he would wield swords and guns and lead troops into battle." Oh, what kind of pastors are they? What battles have they seen?"
It was like a real resentment, gushing out of his words. Suddenly, the elemental shaman, who had been in the shadows in the corner of the tent, stepped out and motioned to the Camel Emperor, which stopped his complaints.
It wasn't long before the curtain of the tent was lifted and a war priest walked in. After scribbling his chest and saluting, he immediately spoke: "Caesar, all preparations have been arranged. Unsurprisingly, we were able to clean up the monsters tonight......"
The Camel Emperor was a little surprised that the war priest did not call himself "Priest", but instead referred to himself as "Caesar", as the Bactrian nobles often said, but he did not show it in the end, and only ended the conversation with a perfunctory "Got it".
In the Emperor's eyes, the army of the Dragon Clan was nothing more than a monster that had captured a few Jamah, and he did not think that the other party had the ability to subvert the rule of the Camel Empire.
Therefore, the act of the War Priest commanding the camel army by the edict of the King of Bactrian was to him to use an almost certain war to fight for prestige among the common camels, and even usurp power in his own hands.
This was true of the former warlord named Gelsan, and now the same is true of these war priests.
However, due to the order of the King of Twin Peaks, he could not interfere with it, which made the Hump Emperor extremely angry, and his face was cloudy.
However, even if he controls the mortal things of an empire, his vision cannot be compared to that of a god.
Although the camel god has limited ability and is unable to detect the intentions of the dragon clan army, it can be guessed that his intentions are not as simple as just capturing a few Jamah, and the blasphemy he forcibly promotes is even more poisonous to him.
So after taking some of the fur of the "war" authority, he immediately forcibly transferred his priest to a war priest, and at the same time began to use his divine power to simulate "supernatural magic" (a kind of spell that asks questions to unknown beings, which can be used to obtain information), forcibly analyzing the weaknesses of the dragon clan army, in order to win the battle and eradicate the hidden dangers.
Due to the asymmetry of information, the questions that the camel god can ask are very limited, so the answers he gets are mostly vague and specious, but by paying for the "hard currency" of the god power, he is still able to ask more questions than the average spellcaster. After hundreds of attempts, he finally got the message that "the other party is afraid of colds and is not good at night fighting".
In fact, this is exactly the case:
The warriors of the Dragonlord Clan are composed of desert kobolds and a small number of lizardmen, although they have a certain blood relationship with the dragon, but the dragon is a warm-blooded creature, and they are all cold-blooded creatures, and in the cold night, their mobility will be greatly reduced.
Although the Desert Kobolds are actually a branch of the Kobolds, in order to cope with the temperature difference between day and night in the desert, they have evolved a special body mechanism to absorb heat during the day and store it during the day and release it at night, so that their blood warms up. However, due to the racial template, the shortcomings cannot be fully compensated.
As for the battle lizardmen, their resistance to the cold is even weaker than that of the desert kobolds. If the temperature is too low, not only will their physical functions decline across the board, but they may also fall directly into a state of "hibernation" like a "hibernation".
These problems had never been manifested before, firstly because the warriors of the Dragonlord Clan were each equipped with berserker armor, which could offset some of the physical decay caused by the lower temperature at night, and secondly, because compared to the day-night temperature difference between day and night in the desert of the Ash World Mediki, the Camel Empire in the Island World was much milder.
I have to admit that the camel god did use the clerical ability in the field of war to find an opportunity for his followers to "defeat the enemy", and the war priests who were inspired by the gods received this important message as soon as possible.
In view of the offensive characteristics of the Dragon Clan of "avoiding the real and making up for the false", these war priests and the Twin Peaks nobles who ruled over each Jamah decided after repeated communication:
Draw some defensive forces inside Jamach with flat terrain and easy to attack and difficult to defend, and supplement Jamach with obvious terrain advantages nearby, so that it looks like a "hard bone";
Artificially construct a path suitable for the opponent's attack, induce it to continue to attack, make the opponent tired from successive battles, and then set up an ambush on its advance path, and the main army finds a suitable night to attack it.
At the beginning, Bradge led the desert kobolds, and indeed as the camels expected, "triumphantly" stepped into the trap step by step, but who would have thought that at the last moment, the other party seemed to be suspicious, conquered and occupied a place, and Jamah stopped.
Just as he did in the first logging town, he used the local camels to cut the wood into a hedge and carry the earth to build the city. After the fortifications were completed, the camels who lived in the area were again expelled, leaving only the Dragons clan to guard the Jamah.
However, since this place was originally "carefully selected" by the war priests, even if the city walls were reinforced and the bastions were repaired, the advantage of the defending side was still lackluster compared to the attack.
After sending a small force to lure the enemy out of the city to meet the battle, the camel army finally made up their minds, and they almost moved out to besiege the Jamah in one fell swoop.
Facing the city walls, catapults lined up and threw polished cobblestones into the city for a whole day. All the warriors of the Dragon Clan were crushed and unable to move, and could only hide in the built cat's ear hole.
Some of the walls cracked and collapsed under the cannons, and Bradch had to order some of the desert kobolds to carry sacks full of dirt to plug the gaps bit by bit.
And in order to remedy the city walls, it was also the first time that the army of the Dragon Clan suffered casualties - several desert kobolds who were responsible for filling the earth were directly hit by cobblestones, and even though they were all wearing fanatic armor, they inevitably embraced death.
During this period, the ballistas erected at the head of the city were also fired several times from the hunched positions, destroying one or two catapults. But soon, more stone cannons were aimed at the ballistas, and the desert kobolds who operated the ballistas had to flee with their heads held again, looking for a place to hide.
When night fell, probably after all the polished cobblestone had been consumed, the catapult stopped firing for the time being. However, the onslaught did not stop, and dozens of elemental shamans walked up to the front of the battle, calling the elementals at the same time.
In order to cooperate with their spells, more camel priests stood behind the elemental shamans and constantly applied buff spells to them. For a moment, the wind howled and the rain poured.
The bonfires lit by the desert kobolds on the city walls were blown out and extinguished, followed by snowflakes mixed with hail in the midst of a violent storm, and with the concerted efforts of several elemental shamans, the bitter cold appeared for the first time in the territory of the camel empire.
Due to the news received in advance, the camel army distributed rainproof robes and cloaks for each soldier to keep warm, but even so, many camels were so cold that their teeth trembled and trembled. Some of the camels who went to Houjian Island even wondered if those spellcasters had used some great force to move this battlefield to the far north.
Compared to them, the defenders of the dragon clan within Jamaher were even more unbearable, most of the desert kobolds became physically weak, and some of the war lizards even directly triggered the "hibernation" function of their bodies, and they fell asleep in place.
They had to erect waterproof huts under the walls, light fires to keep them warm, and every few moments they sent some desert kobolds and lizardmen into the houses to "thaw", and so on to keep people on the walls still able to take up arms.
Not only that, but the plummeting temperature below zero also revealed a major flaw in the Maniac's armor - even the inventors of the young blue dragon and the half-lich Snead had not expected before - the nutrient solution inside the breeding muscles condensed in the cold environment.
In the event of a failure of the energy supply, this biological tissue cannot even provide the "power of a tiger", and it will become constricted and stiff. At this time, wearing it on the body can only be described as "being cocooned and self-bound".
And at this time, the camel army launched a general attack.
"Spear wielding, giant shield to meet the enemy, follow me to victory!"
The War Priests walked in the middle of the formation, holding aloft the hammers that had just begun to be skillfully used, and by using the divine magic "Magnificent Voice", their voices could be heard by all the camel warriors:
"For the honor of the King of Twin Peaks!"
In response, some of the spear-bearing banners of the "Seal of Divine Grace" began to pray silently, and the flags handed over by the priests shone brightly in the night, dispelling the tension in the hearts and coldness of the nearby allies.
Everything about this war is going in favor of the camels.
