Volume 1: The Fall of the King's Power Chapter 100: The Plan
The two who disagreed with each other heard the goblin Bobby's persuasion, and the atmosphere gradually eased.
After all, Gail's purpose in questioning Toren the Minotaur this time was not to break with the Abyss Army, but to force him to open his mouth to ensure that the Abyss Army was involved in the battle head-on, so as to ease the pressure on the Snow Tribe.
As for Toruń, he was just putting on a show, the lords of the abyss had given him a death order before, and he couldn't sit idly by and watch the Snow Tribe fall apart.
Originally, he only wanted to use the hands of the tribe to test the reality of the empire, but now he has almost done the investigation, so that his goal will be achieved.
Toruń burst out laughing, as if the quarrel had been a trivial vignette.
He pulled back the chair beside him and stretched out his hand to make an inviting gesture to Gail: "Prince Gael, please take a seat, I was so impulsive just now, please forgive me for being rude." After all, this is a common problem of the Minotaur race, and we can discuss what you want!"
Seeing that he succumbed first, Gale no longer made an aggressive gesture, and slowly sat down in his chair and said his request: "Your Excellency Toruń, I just want to know now when you will send the main force to really join this war!"
Toren thought for a moment, and said to Gale in a sincere tone: "Prince Gael, let's do it, tomorrow the human race of the empire will definitely not stop, it seems that they will attack the city wall again, you still take your personal guards to block the attack of the imperial army, and then pretend to be overwhelmed, and retreat the tribal warriors back to some positions."
In this way, the empire will definitely continue to advance, and at this time, Bobbi and I will take two thorny drake armies to attack the imperial army from both wings, so that the soldiers of the empire will definitely suffer from the enemy, they will definitely be defeated, and we will take advantage of the victory to pursue, maybe we can still attack the core of the imperial camp in one go!"
Gale pondered Toruń's plan in his mind, and when he found that it was indeed possible, he nodded back, "I agree with your plan, but you must understand that if we can't hold the walls, then the war will end with our destruction, and please don't break our oath." ”
Bobbi hurriedly promised: "Prince Gael, you can rest assured, with me urging him, this stupid minotaur will definitely fight!"
Gail was noncommittal, if Toren the Minotaur was stupid, then there would be no smart people in this world.
After reaching an agreement, Gail did not leave there, and immediately discussed with them the details of tomorrow's battle, which were of paramount importance and could not be overlooked.
The night passed quickly, the sun shone on the land again, and the lords of the empire organized a siege party to slowly march towards the city walls. The tribal warriors on the city walls are still on standby, ready to repeat yesterday's battle with the Imperial soldiers.
Soon the ladders carried by the Imperial soldiers once again set them up on the walls, and even the siege engines crashed into the heavy walls again.
Countless soldiers stubbornly stormed the walls. It's just that the lords in charge of the command didn't notice that the resistance on the city wall seemed to be much weaker this time.
Even the commanders who noticed these details didn't care about these innocuous little things, maybe yesterday these barbarians had too many casualties and couldn't continue to resist the Empire's attack?
With these thoughts in mind, the lords were very excited, and immediately sent more soldiers to attack this stubborn city.
After paying countless casualties, the Imperial soldiers gradually occupied large sections of the city walls, and victory seemed to be in sight.
Seeing the hope of breaching the city walls, the various lords sent most of their troops to compete for the merit of being the first to break through the city.
And the tribal barbarians began to retreat slowly, as they imagined, and it seemed that these barbarians could not stop the edge of the empire.
Empress Gladys received a report from the lords in charge of the siege that they wanted to increase their troops to continue the attack on the walls, and she was in a tangle.
On the one hand, she really wanted to end the war sooner, and on the other hand, she intuitively sensed that something was not quite right in this.
A number of experienced generals were asked, some in favor of continuing the siege, others against going deeper into the city, each with their own reasons, but they were vague.
Seeing the two generals arguing in front of her eyes, Gladyse was very bored and called her attendants to invite them out.
Who can give me a reliable analysis? Suddenly, she had an idea, isn't there a young man who meets her own requirements? He has a completely different insight from others, why not let him come and give him a reference for himself?
Gladys hurriedly instructed Shani, "Quickly bring Russell over and say that I have something important to discuss." ”
After receiving the Empress's order, Shani hurried to Russell's camp and informed the Empress of Russell's invitation.
Russell knew that the battle was urgent, and hurried to the queen's tent, and after saluting, Gladys told Russell about her confusion.
Russell pondered for a while and asked, "May I ask Your Majesty, how many enemies did our army kill and wound yesterday?"
"About three or four thousand!" replied Gladys.
Russell pondered for a moment, and then spoke to the Empress of his opinion: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the barbarians of the Snow Plains Tribe, although poorly equipped, are not afraid of death, and they did not retreat in yesterday's battle.
And they only lost this amount of manpower, they must still have the strength to fight back, even if the imperial soldiers are brave and fearless, they will not be able to win so easily no matter what, so this siege battle must be deceitful!"
