Chapter 271: The Behemoth Project
Edge had already heard from Richie about the Trull City sending troops, and naturally Richie wanted him to intercept the Trull City troops, and he already knew about it. Since the situation was like this, Bailey's side didn't summon him back, and he agreed to Richie after thinking about it.
But he also has his own thoughts about some recent events.
Ever since his identity as a dragon knight was revealed, he could see that his identity could inspire the soldiers, but at the same time, he had seen many soldiers become dependent on him. For example, when something goes wrong, many soldiers can easily say things like 'We have a powerful dragon knight to protect us!'
Every time he heard these words, Aggie wondered what would become of these soldiers if he left the army one day, and whether they would be disillusioned by the loss of the dependence they had so firmly held in their hearts. A scattered army is useless and will only increase the bloodshed on the battlefield.
This is a serious problem. It's not that Aegie has raised his influence too highly, but that these phenomena do exist. He knew that this phenomenon had to change, otherwise it would have a great impact on the future development of the new royal power.
Originally, Aegie planned to wait for the situation in Yefilol City to stabilize before returning to the headquarters of the new royal forces in the west, and then lead the army to march to the center from there, and join forces in Yefilol City, so that the new royal forces could complete the union of the west and the center. But judging by the current situation in Yefilolol, he is far from leaving.
The city of Trul sent an advance force to deal with the city of Yefilolol, which shows that the city of Trul has taken action. The current force will not be the last, and there will be a steady stream of troops until there is an open battle between Jefilol and Trull.
The problem is that the current city of Jefilol definitely does not have enough troops to deal with the city of Trul, and in order for the city of Yefilol to develop, it is necessary to intercept the troops sent by the city of Trul and delay the advance of the city of Trul to the city of Yefilol.
Aegie plans to settle the matter before returning to the west. But to solve these things, it is not simply to intercept the previous troops of Trul City with the ability of the Dragon Knight, if one is intercepted, there will be a second, and the best thing to do is to have a reliable "barrier" to keep the army of Trul City close to the city of Tyreferol.
But it was impossible to build a barrier in the steppes east of Jefilol now, and there was no resources and no time.
Challenged by this, Edgey sat with Giroud in the wilderness outside the city and pondered if there was another way to solve the problem.
Unable to think of any other way, Aegie stood up and jumped up the high hill to look at the city, taking in the situation in the whole city. He wanted to see if there was anything to be done around Jefilol. But he didn't see the available place, but was attracted by a building in the city of Jefilol.
Arena.
Of course, it wasn't the arena that made Edge feel that he could use it against the army of Trull City, and when he saw the arena, he thought of a beast of prey: the Blackwinged Lion Scorpion.
I believe that the people of Yefilol City will not forget the scene when Ballpo challenged the black-winged lion scorpion, and the fierceness, domineering, and strength of the black-clothed lion scorpion would not be difficult for it to destroy a city if it were not restricted by dozens of chains.
Edge thought of it because he remembered that when he was dealing with Balpo, he had the idea of using the Blackwinged Lion Scorpion. If there are Ballpo's loyal troops in Jefilol and want to engage in a large-scale battle, you can release the Blackwing Lion Scorpion to help deal with the enemy.
At this moment, such thoughts once again surged into Age's mind.
He wants to release the Black-Winged Lion Scorpion and let the Black-Winged Lion Scorpion deal with the army of Trul City. With the Black-Winged Lion Scorpion's abilities, it is unlikely that it will be killed easily. Wouldn't it be able to intercept the army of Terul for a long time if it was to guard the steppe east of Yefilol City? Moreover, as long as the black-winged lion scorpion was not broken for a day, the army of Turor City would not be able to approach Yefilol City for a day.
That's a great way to do it!
Edge suddenly laughed, he was already planning to release the Blackwing Lion Scorpion, and let the Blackwing Lion Scorpion be a giant beast against the army from Trul City.
But there is a problem, for this 'Behemoth Project' to succeed, the prerequisite must be that the Blackwing Lion Scorpion is tamed and obeys Edge's orders.
However, when Edge first wanted to harness the power of the Black-Winged Scorpion, Giroud had already said that the Black-Winged Scorpion was a monster that was more stubborn than a dragon, and that they would never yield to humans, even if humans forcibly bound them by contract. If they had to give in, they would rather kill themselves.
Obviously, getting the black-winged lion scorpion to sits is the biggest problem facing now.
The solution to this problem has been mentioned before by Edge, who is for Giroud to defeat the Blackwinged Lion Scorpion with the power of a dragon. Since the Black-Winged Lion Scorpion does not yield to humans, it is always possible to yield to the Warcraft King Dragon.
Hopefully, this approach will be useful. Although Edge had such an idea, he didn't know if it would work because he hadn't tried it before.
Giroud, on the other hand, was thrilled to hear about it from him. Giroud wanted to fight the Blackwinged Lion Scorpion from the first sight of its power, and now that the opportunity has finally come, how can he not be happy.
However, there's also the problem that releasing the Blackwing Lion Scorpion is not something that can be done by saying it. If it is to be released, the safety of the people in the city of Jefilol must be taken into account. The Black-Winged Lion Scorpion must not be allowed to go berserk, otherwise if it fights in the city, it will only bring huge losses to the city.
For this reason, Aegie went to consult with Richie and asked Richie to arrange work in the city, and the people should take shelter to avoid being injured when releasing the Blackwing Lion Scorpion.
However, when Richie hears Edge's saying that he wants to release the Blackwinged Scorpion, Richie disagrees. What kind of fierce beast the black-winged lion scorpion is for all to see, and letting such a fierce beast come out will cause disaster sooner or later.
Aegie knew that Richie's idea was also the idea of most people, but in order to deal with the army of Trul City, and considering the current situation in Yefilol City, this was the only solution. Besides, with Giroud's dragon, can't he deal with the black-winged scorpion, so as long as the black-winged scorpion is released immediately, there is nothing to worry about.
Under Edge's persuasion and explanation, Richie slightly agreed to his plan. However, Richie still couldn't fully agree, and he couldn't do anything to release the Blackwinged Lion Scorpion until he did a good job in the city.
Edgie naturally knew about these things, so before releasing the Blackwing Lion Scorpion, he asked Richie to immediately arrange for the people in the city to take refuge and calm their emotions so that they could accept such a plan.
The Behemoth Project had to be carried out, even though it was a bold and risky one.
