Chapter 178: Ambush? Who Said I Should Ambush?
Chang Le's movements were crisp, and he completed the "persuasion" work in just ten minutes, and boarded the necromantic bird and flew away from Cessnek.
His face was covered, his voice was modified by the king's suit, and his figure had grown a lot taller and stronger in a year, and he was not recognized by Marquis Philip.
The marquis was very cooperative, swearing that he would not surrender and would fight to the end for the empire.
But his hesitant flickering gaze betrayed him, and under the scanning of Chang Le's insight talent, there was nothing to hide in his true heart.
And this guy also pretends to make a noise from time to time, as if he is expecting the rescue of the master guard next door.
A master is indeed a master, and Belzas, the No. 2 person in the Blood Soul Valley sent by Nomadeus, is at the peak of the super war spirit that may break through at any time, the same as the realm of yesterday's elf queen, and his strength is far above Changle.
But today, the queen has broken through, and between the primary battle sect and the peak war spirit, there is an essential difference between the power of the universe and the power of nature, and it is a gap that cannot be crossed.
So the Queen's "persuasion" was very effective, and Belzas did not make the slightest noise from beginning to end, let alone come to save the Marquis.
Only later did I know that Belthas was obsessed with cultivation and only hoped to break through to the War Sect as soon as possible, and even if he came to the front line, he didn't care much about it, and he didn't know that the marquis was secretly operating and surrendering.
The Blood Soul Valley itself definitely didn't want the Marquis to surrender, and they hooked up with Philip in order to expand their influence in the empire in order to get more tax support and monopolize more cultivation talents.
If the Marquis surrenders, the empire will be finished, and the Blood Soul Valley will not benefit at all, and the territory will fall into the hands of the various sects of the Starr River Alliance.
Therefore, Belsas did not dare to resist or want to resist in the face of the powerful elven queen, and after some conversation, he agreed to help keep an eye on the marquis and prevent him from surrendering by force if necessary.
Chang Le and the Marquis were not too verbose, since the other party had already had different intentions, and it was even likely that they had agreed on the time and method of surrender, no matter how hard they talked at the moment, they couldn't persuade them to turn back.
Only threats, let him know that surrender is equal to death, this is the best way to lobby.
Being able to sneak past the defenses and sneak into the castle and pull the marquis out of the bed in the middle of the night to talk is the most definite threat in itself, but it is not enough.
So Chang Le took Karen, the marquis's favorite youngest daughter.
When Weber originally suggested "kidnapping and coercion", Chang Le smiled with disdain, lamenting that the young duke's nature was difficult to change, even if it was for the purpose of justice, he came up with despicable means.
Chang Le himself used to kidnap tickets as a business, but at that time he was a robber, and it was natural for robbers to kidnap tickets, not to mention that he basically never tore up tickets.
Now, as a soldier who protects the land and the people, he goes to kidnap the daughter of a friendly general as a hostage, and this matter cannot be said in any way.
Until today, at the moment of "urgency and power", Chang Le suddenly woke up, as long as the goal is just, why stick to the means?
If the marquis surrenders the city, even if the enemy army keeps its promise and retains its title and fief, the slaughter and plundering of the city will be inevitable, and the banner of "Heavenly Punishment" has long proved the determination of King Elliot, the marquis may not believe it, but he is always happy to believe it!
For the lives and property of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, I can only grieve the delicate Miss Karen.
And when Chang Le took Karen away, the marquis first roared in anger, and then cried and pleaded, which is enough to prove that the youngest daughter is indeed his lifeline.
At this moment, Chang Le secretly thanked Weber, otherwise he would not have found the marquis's biggest weakness.
Of course, according to Chang Le's personal style, this kidnapping must be carried out politely, so as not to scare the little girl out of trouble.
But the delicate marquis's daughter has been cared for since she was a child, how have you ever seen such a scene?
Chang Le had to take away the "sleeping beauty" who was only wearing a thin nightdress, let Pantania hold her, and the three of them embarked on the return journey with a bird.
On the way, Karen woke up again, and then she found that she had really been taken captive, and she was still flying in the air, and the vast land was faintly visible in the morning light, and the little girl screamed and fainted for the second time.
The queen muttered, criticizing Chang Le's behavior of kidnapping tickets as "dirty", and the elves couldn't do such a thing anyway.
She also glanced back at the dark ring on Chang Le's hand, she could feel the evil fluctuations, and she was also very suspicious of the origin and function of this ring.
Therefore, she earnestly taught, "Falling into the darkness, there may be a reasonable reason for every step, but after a long time, you will find that you cannot turn back."
Chang Le was silent, he had already had similar arguments with Pabadua, he didn't want to repeat them, and it was impossible to argue clearly, everything was left to time to prove.
The best place for this hostage to go was Fort Stanley, but the castle was full of people, and Karen was only a sixteen-year-old girl after all, and it was not good to be seen wearing only a pajama to be taken captive.
So the first stop was to return to the elven camp, and the queen took her to the camp to change clothes.
Changle stood on the hillside watching the troops' training, the human instructors were still teaching the elven warriors how to ride horses, and Miraya was teaching archery to a select group of elite humans.
The red sun illuminates the silhouette of the elven princess, whose hair and eyelashes are trimmed with gold, and looks exceptionally pure and holy.
And her graceful rapid shooting, twenty arrows in an instant, arm rotation, jade fingers flying, the movement is extremely beautiful, the effect is vicious and deadly, and the humanoid target suddenly becomes a hedgehog.
The human warriors were dumbfounded, and exclaimed, "Uhh
"Don't just shout, see if you're slowing down!"
Miraya was not in a good mood, frowned and scolded a few words, and asked the soldiers to imitate it.
There are no professional archers in Changle's army, and at the moment, these soldiers are all selected from the infantry at Fort Stanley, and they have a little bit of archery foundation, but in the eyes of the elf princess, it is all mud and can't support the wall, so she is so anxious to kick their ass.
The soldiers' move made Miraya even more infuriating, because they were not only slow, but also had poor accuracy, and often failed to even hit the target.
Miraya stretched out her finger and scolded angrily:
"This is a level-fire stationary target! It's not a projectile mobile shot! You can't shoot like this, are you blind?"
The soldiers, of course, were flushed, and it was the greatest shame for men to be scolded by a beautiful little girl for being incompetent.
Chang Le greeted him with a smile:
"Miraya, don't worry, we stupid humans can't practice your realm in our lifetime......"
Miraya turned her head to see him, her little face was covered with a layer of frost, and she replied fiercely:
"I don't talk to you!"
Then she shouted to the soldiers, "Disband, rest," and walked away briskly with her head down.
Chang Le had already stretched out his hand and was about to pat Miraya on the shoulder, but he couldn't cry or laugh anymore, so he had to raise his hand and scratch his head, and instead chatted with the soldier to relieve the embarrassment.
The subordinates all smiled weirdly, and they glanced at Miraya and then at their own coach, everything was silent.
Princess Miraya's "secret love" for Chang Le is well known, and it has long become a "clear love", but yesterday Chang Le and the queen got together, and how the princess will face this "stepfather" in the future, this matter is too interesting, and everyone laughs about it.
Chang Le accompanied his subordinates to laugh a few times, and suddenly made a face:
"Practice this ghost and smile!"
Before leaving, he pointed to his subordinates and shouted:
"Wait until the day of the end of the training, the first place will be rewarded with one hundred gold coins, and what will the last one do, you say it yourself!"
"Penalty ...... Fines?" replied one soldier cautiously.
"I'm fine, I'm going to take you to the whole army, and let tens of thousands of people see what the number one fool looks like!"
"Don't don't, I'm not the last, I'm definitely not the last!"
A group of soldiers laughed, but their morale was boosted, and they turned to face the target and began to practice again.
It was at this moment that Ricky made an urgent call in the telepathy.
She said that the thin monkey sent someone back to report that the Hanhai cavalry commanded by Sogerlov packed their bags last night and estimated that they would leave early this morning. The thin monkey himself stayed in front to continue the reconnaissance, and sent his subordinates to hurry back and remind Chang Le to prepare early.
Moreover, Lola did not wait for orders, she had already gathered all her cavalry and prepared to rush to the Heyuan Wetland to ambush the Hanhai people.
"Ambush, who said I want to ambush?" Chang Le asked in surprise.
In fact, he revealed the intention of the ambush, in the last military meeting, that is, the day Weber proposed to kidnap Karen, Changle said that he could not let the enemy go well, and he must disrupt Elliot's plan to destroy the cavalry force that the opponent urgently needs in the middle of the road.
However, after confronting Elliott face-to-face, he deeply realized that this person was not simple, especially as a "flying" war sect, it was difficult to hide from her on the huge battlefield.
Maybe the Hanhai people were just a bait, luring Chang Le to mobilize the whole army to ambush him, but as a result, Elliot led the main force of the coalition to take the opportunity to encircle him, forcing him to fight a hard-fought bloody battle, and he has been trying his best to avoid this kind of thing.
So, he's changed his mind.
Lola, Miranda, and the others, who gather around Ricky, are puzzled and ask Ricky to convey their questions.
Chang Le does not explain in detail, because it is not necessary:
"Ricky, help me tell Lola that they should eat, sleep, wash, wash their clothes, and keep the castle, and don't worry about anything else. ”
This concludes the arraignment.
But "no ambush" does not mean "no attack", and his series of orders were immediately issued to another soul servant, asking Pabadova to come at full speed with the Necromantic Cavalry of the Demon Dragon Clan.
According to the "Air Force Tactics" explained by Anita, he is ready to carry out a "bombing"!
The so-called "air force" is the cavalry in the air and an extension of cavalry tactics.
Chang Le's understanding of cavalry is very different from what he learned in military school, which traditionally believes that cavalry is a decisive fighting class, and when the main force pushes against each other, the heavy cavalry is used to break the enemy's formation, and the rest is left to the infantry.
But Changle didn't agree with this theory in the first place, and after becoming a bandit, he was even more obsessed with the flexibility of light cavalry.
In his eyes, it was a waste to storm the enemy's strong phalanx with cavalry.
The mobility of cavalry should be used on more valuable occasions, and it should produce a decisive tactical role, even a strategic role!
The "air cavalry" is even more so!
And the necromantic cavalry, which has undergone a special reorganization recently, will soon prove whether his idea is correct or not!
