"Isn't there any movement at Ironfist Castle?" asked Chase in a puzzled tone, looking at the dusty scout.

"Yes, General. The scout said in the affirmative.

After waving his hand to let the scouts down, Chase turned his face to General Warren, who was sitting beside him, and said in a consultative tone: "What is this Iron Fist castle going to do? They are completely surrounded by us on the east, south, and north, and only the west is left, but they have neither mobilized reinforcements nor sent scouts, so they are quietly guarding. ”

"You're too suspicious, I say, isn't that just giving us enough time to set up our formation?" Warren laughed and said, "It's a pity that we were worried that they would be ambushed, so we were cautious when we marched, and it took a day in vain." ”

"But I always wonder how abnormal they are. Chase shrugged his shoulders and said, "But we have 120,000 people now, and they are only 3 or 40,000, or they are planning to hold on, after all, the Iron Fist Castle is still in good shape, and there has been a record of holding on." ”

"That's better, you and I have a hundred stone throwers combined, enough for them to know what a storm is, hahahaha!" Warren said disapprerovingly: "Don't be suspicious all the time, even if Cassano and they have something to hide, they must have troops, and they must have dangerous terrain." ”

"You guys!" Warren said, pointing to the topographical map on the table, "Tekken Castle New Town is not yet finished, but the east side is finished, and the north side has only a small amount of work. So I suggest that I take the lead and help me get rid of reinforcements from several other directions, if any. ”

"It's fine, but I'll send all the catapults, and if I succeed in destroying the eastern wall, I won't be polite to you. Chase said angrily.

"You're welcome, if you raze the walls of the Iron Fist Castle to the ground and I haven't occupied it yet, then I'll go home and be a farmer, although my department still needs to take 20,000 people out to guard against reinforcements from the imperial capital, but 40,000 elites can't take such a small city, I ......"

"Then be it, I will ask the scouts to step up the intelligence search within a radius of 50 kilometers, Warren, you also have to be careful of the sneak attack from the imperial capital, after all, this is a war in which we have a sufficient advantage, if we can't win it cleanly, then even if we take down here, there is no credit at all. ”

"Okay, then I'll go back first, let's start attacking the city tomorrow, news from Moli's side, an elite army in the imperial capital is heading south overnight, don't give the imperial capital a chance to take advantage of it, Ches." ”

――――――*――――――*――――――*―――――― "Ryan, this is the information we have gathered, now that the two legions of Senate have met under our city, and they have been standing still all day today, it is clear that they are renovating, I believe that tomorrow the official attack will begin." According to the information obtained, Adela pointed out the distribution of the enemy army on the topographic map little by little.

Ryan gently stroked the iron feather nestled in his arms, and said with a smile, "Very good, as I wish." ”

"But once the other side attacks the city, then our pressure is too great. Vivien said with some concern.

"No, Sister Vivien. After all, Adela has more military knowledge than Vivien, so it is far faster to understand Ryan's plan than Vivien: "If you were the commander of the other party, would you take out 100,000 men at once to attack the enemy fortress with only 10,000 men?"

"Of course not!"

"That's right, now it's clear that the enemy is outnumbered, and what they're thinking about is probably how to reduce casualties, and definitely not rushing up in a swarm, so as to give us enough buffer time. Adela smiled and said: "And the information that Allendo is now transmitting, this time Senate's army has two fatal weaknesses, first, they have almost no cavalry, of course, except for the imperial capital, all other forces cannot have large-scale cavalry, but on the plains of Cassano, they have lost their mobility." ”

"When attacking, they gathered together and moved slowly, as they are now, it seems to be majestic, but as soon as anything happens, these guys who have to crawl slowly with their baggage will be miserable, if they drop their baggage, they will not have supplies at all, and they will soon be hungry, but we will take away everything that can be taken from three sides of the Iron Fist Castle, and burn everything that cannot be taken. ”

"Well, I know, does that mean you're going to burn their grain?" Vivien said to Adra.

"I guess not exactly. Adela replied, then looked at Ryan, hoping he could give a clear answer.

Ryan shook his head and said, "There is no need, that food can make our people live more comfortably, and even take more prisoners if necessary, the construction of the new city will definitely be understaffed." ”

"That's an assassination, so Elendor has just arrived from the Imperial Capital, and you let him go to the enemy camp to lurk. Vivien asked again.

"Not exactly, but my goal is to destroy the enemy's command center. Ryan stated his plan: "120,000 warriors, it sounds like a lot, but they belong to two legions, and they need a lot of heralds to communicate and coordinate in between, and Moses and his men are responsible for cutting off their contact when the main forces of the enemy and us meet tomorrow." ”

"What about Elendor?"

"I didn't expect Allendo to come overnight and bring Iron Feather. Ryan smiled and continued, "Hand-to-hand combat is Ellendo's strength, and concealment is also his strength, and he will play the most when it is critical, but not to assassinate the enemy leader and set fire." ”

"Adra, although the Iron Fist Castle Guards are small in number, they are the first of these three elite troops to form an army, and what you have to do tomorrow is to personally lead them to block the attack from the east. The eastern side of our Tekken Castle New Town is almost complete and should be able to hold you back for a while. ”

"No problem, but the other party's rock-throwing truck may cause a lot of casualties...... Ah, Elendor will burn them tonight!" Adela said in surprise.

"Yes. Ryan replied in an affirmative tone: "According to the intelligence, the enemy has about 50 stone throwers in each of the two legions, and all the east is destroyed, so the attack will inevitably be affected, and the north side, they are facing the weakest castle, and the defenders are far inferior to them in numbers, if they give up the attack because of friendly forces, I am afraid that even if their corps commander agrees, the generals below will rebel, right?"

"In case, I mean in case. Vivien still spoke cautiously: "What to do." ”

"I'll lure them out, don't they want me to go south? Okay, I'll challenge it alone tomorrow, if I don't want to come out, I'll attack their camp with magic directly in front of the formation, and if they still don't come out, then turn into ruins with the camp." ”

"Also, Seres will handpick 3,000 people to join me, and you'll command the rest. Ryan continued: "Barbara, your magic apprentices should also come with me, let them bless the archers of Seres with magic, and kill and injure the opponent's archers and officers as much as possible, I remember that there are only 10,000 archers out of these 120,000 people, and the two legions are actually only 5,000 people each, if they can't even do this, well, Seres is no longer a guard of the Moon Temple." ”

"Yes, the enemy's second weakness is the lack of long-range firepower, which is probably why they spent a lot of time making the catapult. Adela nodded and said, "When the time comes, Sister Vivien, you will sit in the Iron Fist Castle, so that everyone can rest assured." ”

Vivien knew that she had injuries on her body and that the armor had been destroyed, so she wisely chose to follow Adela's advice, and Ryan finally spoke: "It's been 3 days, and there are still 4 days, well, time seems to be a little rich, Vivian, Adela, I'm getting married, if you're okay now, you might as well think about giving me some gifts, hahahaha." ”

――――――*――――――*――――――*―――――― Elendor beckoned softly, signaling Seres and Shayna to come over, and the three of them quietly sneaked into a tent, and Allendo broke the necks of the sleeping Senate soldiers in the tent as quickly as possible, and then lowered his voice and said to the other two: "Okay, our target is just those stone throwers, don't care about anyone else." Come, take it all, this is a magic ornament made by Ryan himself, but it is easy to release the fireball technique. ”

After Allendo finished speaking, he stuffed the two ornaments into the hands of Seres and Shaina respectively, Serres played with it, and found that there was a very good quality ruby stored in it, and he was slightly curious, such a material, even in the elf clan, is not so easy to find. Shaina, on the other hand, was secretly surprised in her heart, for she could see that the ornament had been kneaded with some techniques from the elves, and it was obvious that this was what Ryan had learned from her clothes.

Elendor didn't expect the two people in front of him to think about these boring things, the ruby in these three ornaments was dug up from the gargoyle by him and Ryan in the tomb of Alexandria, Ryan kept it close to him for a long time, and he only took his previous storage pocket with him when he took Victor and them back to the Magic Tower of Dranay some time ago.

"Okay, let's do it, don't separate the three of us, and withdraw immediately after destroying as quickly as possible, they can't mobilize too many soldiers in a short period of time, and they can't stop us at all. Allendo whispered this, slicing his hand across the tent, and his body slipped out of the newly added scratches.

When Alendor appeared in the moonlight again, he still transformed into a huge wind wolf, and the ornament was very cleverly worn on his wrist, and Allendo only had to wave his hand to control this magic item to release the fireball spell inside, which was worthy of Ryan's own tailor-made killing and arson essentials for him.
