Chapter 199: The Timing of the Counterattack (Part II)
[Added a note.] These four more are not today's updates, they are considered to compensate for yesterday, and there are two more today]
The black-robed mage said reservedly: "Your Excellency, it is inconvenient for us to participate in this, Your Majesty will be angry when you hear it." ”
The customs of the island countries in the East China Sea are different from those of the Myers mainland, the status of the mage is not particularly high, and the mage cannot have any command in the army, and the participants in the battle can only be professional soldiers. But mages are still respected because of their great fighting power and great knowledge. The general smiled awkwardly and said, "Mage, let's not be polite, according to the reconnaissance of the flying puppet, the enemy's city is not small, but it seems that the construction has not been completed yet, can we land from somewhere else, bypass this port, and attack on land?"
The black-robed mage shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, this frozen sea is about a hundred miles away from the nearest place on land, and if we land from somewhere else, then we will divide our forces." It's too far away to get in touch with each other. The people of Myers Continent like to build fortress-like towns outside of the city to guard all directions. ”
"I see, if we have twice as many soldiers, dividing the army is a good choice, then I will wait for the chariots of the mage regiment to be made and storm from the harbor. The general glanced coldly at his subordinates who had just interjected, and the general shuddered and lowered his head.
In the island countries of the East, the class is very strict, and the superiors have the power of life and death over the subordinates. Although few people would do this, he did not dare to continue to speak.
The black-robed mage didn't continue to say more, although he didn't care that someone would go back and say bad things about himself in front of His Majesty, but he still had a complete mage group under his command, and if he offended these soldiers, there would definitely be someone in the mage group who would be unlucky for him. Youxi Marceau is not a cold person, he has always loved his mage group, which is a little different from the people of the Eastern Island Country, he envies the customs of the Yunliu Empire, or the Fourth Dynasty.
The courtier is loyal to the master, and the master must protect the interests of the courtier. That was a perfect era, and when the coalition forces attacked the Myers continent, they would have enough land to build a huge city and establish their own mage family.
After entering the ice, the Turtle Alchemy Ship quickly increased its speed to its maximum speed. It only took a little more than an hour to get back to the boathouse under the harbor. Salin left with Sika and the others, leaving behind five mages and Neris to attack the fleet. Salin didn't care who the enemy was, since he killed the swordsmen of Shrig Island, it would be a situation of no death, even if these people returned the battleship to themselves, they would never stop.
There is a secret passage in the boathouse that leads to the ground. As soon as Saleen's alchemy ship entered the boathouse, Credian in the temple found it. This is the right that Salin left him before leaving, and he can take over some magic arrays that only he can use in normal times.
"Lord Saleen is back, send someone to meet you. Cledian was overjoyed, and although he had successfully repelled several enemy attacks during this time, he knew that it was the enemy's temptation, and the real attack had not yet come.
He did not have many soldiers at hand, some of them were to be placed in the harbor, and some of them were to be placed in the north of the city, and the enemy was to be brought ashore from the north. The four hundred Caucasian demon wolf cavalry were also scattered in two places, which gave Credian a lot of headaches. Because if one side is tight, it will take time to mobilize troops from the other direction.
Saleen's army was not bad at fighting. But there is no cavalry in the formal sense. Although those skeleton horses were useful, they could only be used for travel, and Saleen had not yet been trained as cavalry.
The way cavalry fights requires special training, not that a horse is a cavalry. An ordinary swordsman, if he does not have special skills, has a high chance of injuring himself first when he is holding a riding spear and attacking. As soon as Saleen returned, Credian immediately had a backbone. And if Shika also returns, those Caucasians will go all out and send all their soldiers. With the addition of the Caucasians, it was much easier to lay out the defensive line.
Salin saw Daniel in the harbor, Daniel looked haggard, the enemy's attack has no regularity, he is in charge of the defense of the harbor, he has not slept well for half a month, the enemy seems to know when to attack the most to disturb the defender's schedule. There is no way, there are many enemies, and a thousand people here in the harbor, at most, are divided into two groups for repair, and each round has to hold out for twelve hours.
Because of this, Daniel had to put Pisius on the battlefield in advance to avoid casualties among the soldiers.
Of course, Pisius killed the enemy with a river of blood, but the enemy's magician ran away and injured Pisius with magic before leaving, although Daniel was distressed, he couldn't let Pisius rest.
Seeing Daniel's blood-red eyes, Saleen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good work, Zola." You stay, take Daniel's command, Daniel, go back with me and discuss how to deal with these enemies. ”
Daniel saw Saleen, a mage younger than himself, but his heart settled down, and the fatigue almost disappeared. Salin was now the backbone of everyone, and when he returned, the warriors at the harbor cheered as if the problem had been solved once and for all.
Saleen's heart was heavy, and now his soldiers were full of soldiers, and there weren't many of them, and they were basically pirates and swordsmen from Tryg Island. There are a lot of barbarians, but they have strong individual combat effectiveness and poor ability to cooperate with battle. The quality of the Caucasians is better, but when Sika is not there, these Caucasians will not contribute for the time being. Because Saleen hadn't given them the status they could, they didn't know what to do.
It was a bit negligent to take the seat card by yourself.
"My lord, I'm just a swordsmanship teacher, not a general, commanding the army, I'm not as good as those few Warcraft swordsmen. Zora's face was embarrassed. To Saleen Road. He is not shirking his responsibility, this line of defense is very important, he is afraid of killing these stubborn soldiers.
"It's okay, just keep defending according to Daniel's arrangement, we'll launch a counterattack at night, you don't have to hold on for too long. Aini, Elaine, your men, all of you are transferred to the harbor to guard the back line, Sika, you go back to Nanyuan first. Go and contact your warriors, I need a heavy infantry of six hundred men, you bring the main hall, and I prepare armor for them. ”
By the time Salin had finished his order, a low-ranking mage named Sumerian had arrived at the harbor to meet him. When Salin saw the carriage that greeted him, he did not go up, but blessed himself with a cloud walking technique, flew up in mid-air, and said to the Sumerian on the ground, and you yourself followed back. “
Looking at Salin flying away in the air, Sumer swallowed with envy, he knew that Salin was only a fifth-level mage, but he had such a strong flying ability, and he could only move slowly on the ground, and he couldn't even bless himself with an effective wind speed technique.
Ani and Elaine went back to their mansions separately, and Sika didn't look at the Sumerian carriage, she beckoned a Caucasian demon wolf knight who was patrolling in the distance, asked for his demon wolf, and drove directly back to Nanyuan, where the Caucasians lived.
These demon wolves are faster than warhorses in short distances and slightly slower in long distances, but they have excellent patience. Demon wolves are not considered high-level among Warcraft, they can follow their targets for several days and nights for their prey. As soon as Sika sat on the back of the demon wolf, the demon wolf galloped like a fly.
Demon wolves are loyal creatures, and if someone else sits on them, they will be overturned to the ground and bite their throats. However, the battle priest just whispered something in his ear, and the demon wolf obediently left with him. The Caucasian warrior also looked at Shika's back with a look of adoration on his face.
He really wished he could have a chance to make out with the priest, but the priest seemed to like the magician. Hey, if only it was a necromancer, I heard that the necromancer can't have a son.
The Caucasian warrior shook his head regretfully, thinking to himself, even if the magician can't do it, he won't be able to take his turn, there are two young and powerful warriors in the clan, who are the priest's most loyal guards.
If only Salin had known that the Caucasians thought so. The nose will be crooked. But this is the identity of Schika, even if she looks worse than the evil spirit, there will still be countless Caucasian people who want to have a child with her. This is the most primitive kind of faith, a custom that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years.
There are various magic arrays in the temple in the center of the city, among which there are more than a dozen teleportation magic arrays. Jason also paid for the materials that Saleen had to pay for. Where Salin usually stays, there are also many sound magic arrays, which can communicate with important locations in the city.
It is not necessary to have such a luxury in peacetime, but when war breaks out, it is a very effective way of communication, which can be quickly conveyed by the central command.
Credian waited outside the temple when he saw a thick cloud in the sky flying quickly and volleying down.
"Your Excellency, you're finally back!" Credion couldn't hold back the joy in her heart and greeted her.
"Well, go in and say, everyone is not hurt, right?"
Credian's eyes turned red and he said, "More than a hundred swordsmen died. ”
"I saw the body, and I was going to organize a counterattack immediately. Salin said, and walked into the temple in high spirits. On the first floor of the temple, Saleen saw two Caucasian warriors in ornate armor, with dozens of young Caucasians.
"Why are you here?" asked Salin.
The two Caucasian warriors were none other than Sika's bodyguards, and when they saw Salin, they were stunned at first. The two men were also considered mature, and instead of asking Sika immediately, they answered Salin's question: "The priest told us that we must protect this place until you return. ”
"Sika is back, you don't have to go back first, come up with me, she'll come. With that, Salin went up to the second floor. On the second floor, there is a model of the layout of the entire city, as well as a sound magic array, which can communicate everywhere.
Salin went to his huge room, sat everyone who had followed him, and activated a magic circle on the table, and began to speak to all the sound magic circles.
"I'm Saleen Metatrin, I'm back, the enemy is a hundred miles away from the sea, in five hours their ships will all be sunk, I want you to avenge the dead, and anyone who harms this city will pay with their lives. Kill them. ”
