Chapter 122: Seeking Power (3)
Drae waited until the tenth day, seeing that there was no news ahead, thinking that Zimon had not yet attacked the city, and the teleportation scroll in his hand was always ready, and as soon as the time passed, it would be delivered to King Tanio. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info his position in Biruchko was originally second only to Bogu and Duric, and now the two are vying to rebel, the former has fallen, the latter has rebelled, and now he is not far from the power of the Koman royal family, seize this opportunity to eliminate dissidents.
Unfortunately, the night had just fallen, and there was no news ahead, but the vanguard officer of Zimon had been pressed here, and he had already changed his expression, and with a very sad expression, he cried to Drae how his 3,000 troops had been buried because of the recklessness of the Shadow Knight captain, and had wasted the 'reinforcements' secretly sent by the Generalissimo, plus the Shadow Knight sent with him. 'Survivor', the two sang and harmonized, and described it vividly and truthfully, and Drae already believed it, and in the center of his heart he scolded the captain for being stupid and ruining his plan to frame him.
The blame was no longer for him, and he wanted to ask for the guilt, and without excuse, he was so angry that he tore the messenger scroll to shreds, and reported it to King Tanio. With Sally saying good things for the gangsters in the palace, Zimmon is not worried about how King Tanio will punish himself, after all, most of the blame lies on the captain, and he is guilty of poor supervision at most.
Sure enough, after King Tagnio saw this scroll, he only dismissed Zimon from his position as a vanguard officer, and instead, made him a staff officer of Derae, although it was an idle position and did not have much military power, but Zimon was not in a hurry, he had a way to frame the generalissimo. It is best to let him step down without losing a large number of troops, otherwise the royal family of Sackman will be defeated in the hands of Duric, and there will be no result of losing both or one dead and one seriously injured, so where will he benefit?
The city of Basriel, as the base camp of the Knights of the Night Shadow, Zimon naturally stayed, thanks to King Tanio making him this chief of staff, so that Drae had no chance to send him to attack the city.
It seems that King Taño is not completely fascinated by Sally~ Knowing that I am used to monitor and restrict Derae, Zimon secretly guessed in his heart. After the rebellion of Bogu and the rebellion of Duric, the king became more wary of his subordinates, and had just taken up the post of staff officer when King Tanio's summons scroll arrived, telling him to keep an eye on Drae.
Suddenly, Qi Meng became King Tanio's most trusted subordinate, which was really unexpected by him, and then he thought about it, the more powerful the emperor is, the more wary he is, which is really normal.
On the seventh day of Basriel City, Luo and Sophiel took a team of twenty or thirty Dawn Knights, in the name of Zimon's defeat, entered Basriel City, and met with Zimon with the news that they had tamed the 1,800 Shadow Knights, and the bandit Brownie had quietly run back to Kogo City with them and 600 Dawnlight Knights, anyway, the 3,000 vanguard troops in the eyes of Drae and King Taño, only three or four hundred remnants of the defeated army fled with Zimon, and the other knights died under the city of Delin. Taking the opportunity to hide them, it was best for Qi Meng to continue to be a knight who had little real power and only three or four hundred men under his command.
However, Sophie's arrival here was really unexpected by him, Luo was asked by him, after all, there are some things here, and he still needs a capable assistant to help him deal with them, as for Sophie, such a stunning beauty, here in Basriel City, it will always bring him some trouble.
"You go down first. "Zimonroo stepped back first.
"Sophie, why did you come here, you are so beautiful, it will cause me a lot of trouble~" Qi Meng sighed, although Sophie Er's face was smeared with some blood and dirt at the moment, but it was still difficult to hide the moving beauty, as she wiped off the stains little by little, the white jade-like skin was exposed, and she said with some dissatisfaction: "Why have I become a burden to you again, you have to go when you beg me, I can come when I am happy, what do you want?"
"How could I not know my thoughts, but there are two cursed masters here, ten magicians, and twenty-one kings, if I am in any danger, you can't help me, but you will only trap yourself, and ah, I was originally pretending to be a staff officer here, as long as I am careful, there is still no danger, but you are a beautiful beauty, exposed in the eyes of those nobles, they are not sure how to kill me." Zimmon sighed again.
"It's a big deal that I won't go out, and if it's a big deal, I'll cover myself, now it's okay!" Sophie said indignantly. She was just thinking about his safety, where did she have these scruples, and she was still complained about at the moment, she couldn't help but be a little unhappy.
Which Cheng thought, the gangster slapped his hand, and immediately agreed, how could there be those scruples on his face, and said: "Okay, that's it, anyway, I'm idle if I have nothing to do, it's good to come back and touch it, hehe!"
Sophie looked at Qi Meng speechlessly, and it took a long time before she came back to her senses, and suddenly had a feeling of being fooled in her heart, so angry that she stomped her feet and said, "You, you lied to me!"
"It's not that I lie to you, but I want to touch you. The thug smiled evilly, and Sophie blushed widely, and hurriedly took a few steps back.
Sophie's appearance is difficult to compare with Ruchko, the nobles' love for beauty, to say that there is no risk is absolutely fake, however, with an Ike in front, he is not afraid of how many people are behind, Zimon is confident that when it comes to evil, there is still some distance from Ruchko and his authentic gangster.
In the Shadow Knights Left Wing Vanguard' After the defeat, Drae sent three thousand Shadow Knights, gathered the three thousand knights who had been hiding for a long time, organized six thousand knights to attack the city of Delin, and sent a cursed master, and even mobilized a thousand magicians, determined to take the city of Delin, to show to King Taño, where do you think that after Duric got Thor, the plan to conquer the city has made great progress, and he has come out of an empty city plan, he secretly mobilized the knights of Delin City to the rear of Basrir City, and cut off the transportation line of 30,000 knights, 6,000 knights and 1,000 mages went to capture the empty city, but they were hit by the trap magic and various mechanisms in the city, and suffered a lot of casualties。
This marquis, who is good at framing and excluding dissidents, basically knows nothing about military affairs, and sends troops to open up the transportation line in a panic, who knows that the four thousand knights must occupy the several towns that the transportation line must pass through are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the five thousand knights sent to them suffered heavy losses and failed.
Drae didn't dare to send troops on his own, so he immediately thought of Zimon, the staff officer, and asked him to get along with some strategies immediately.
The Shadow Knights have lost nearly three thousand Shadow Knights after his two transfers, but the knights of the Sword of Honor have only lost an empty city full of traps and more than a thousand knights, which is already a defeat on the battlefield, and none of those towns have any traffic dangers, it is impossible to besiege the army, if you send the knights again, and the result is a big defeat, his position as a marshal will be dangerous, and now most of the Shadow Knights are still loyal to King Tanio, and he has no chance to resist when he removes his own order。
Zimmon was more concerned about the battle situation than the generalissimo, and Duric actually sent someone to abandon Delin City to cut off the transportation line, he couldn't have wanted to take these 4,000 knights to completely block the transportation of 30,000 knights.
On the contrary, if the four thousand knights and the city of Delin are bait, then the city of Basriel is the big fish, and when Drae divides some of the knights to rescue the rear and occupy Delin, attack the city of Basril!
If this is the case, then there must have been a large number of Knights of the Sword of Honor bypassing the city of Delin and quietly heading towards the city of Basriel.
He immediately suggested that Drae ignore the knights in the rear for the time being, and recall a large number of knights and magicians in Delin City back to Basrir City, the transportation line is broken, you can change one, and temporarily rely on the establishment of the magician's teleportation array to obtain supplies, there is no need to grab those small towns for a momentary dispute.
Drae could still understand what Zimmon had said about building another transport line, but he was very puzzled when he abandoned the city of Delin, and the thugs had to tell the marquis about their fears, so he suspiciously summoned all the knights and magicians of the city of Delin.
Sure enough, on the third day when he had just withdrawn his troops, a large number of knights emerged from the forests on the left and right sides of Drae and attacked the city of Basril, with about 18,000 knights! And the means of attack were varied, even if the city was held, the city of Basril still suffered more than 3,000 casualties, but after a fierce attack, when they found that the garrison of Basril was far higher than expected, they withdrew on the third day of the siege.
However, Thor's reaction was also very fast, and after discovering that his plan was discovered, he let the army of 18,000 knights immediately rush back to Delin City, and guarded it layer by layer, but the 3,000 knights who were used to cut off the Shadow Knights' logistics were ambushed by the Shadow Knights when they were ordered to evacuate, and none of them could run back.
After seeing his strategy, Drae, who was originally bent on eradicating Zimon, decided to wait until the war was over to find a way to eradicate this person, and now he is the marshal of the Shadow Knight, in case the army is defeated, he is not the only one who is unlucky?
However, Zimon didn't want to defeat Duric so quickly, it was extremely dangerous for the army to be dispatched, the good could determine the victory in one fell swoop, and the bad one step was lost, Saul's plan was seen through by him, he could have let Drae leave an empty city here, let them attack it, and then encircle and annihilate Durich's army from the outside, so that even if he can't completely annihilate the sword of honor, it will definitely make him suffer heavy losses, but it is still the original problem, only if there is not too much gap between the strength of the two sides, the troubled times can last, and he can erode Sackman's military power little by little, he must maintain that Durich is weaker than Sackman's royal family, and must ensure that Durich is not ridiculously weak and will not be easily defeated。
After a month in Basriel City, Zimon has basically been familiar with the counts of the royal family, gold coins, fine wine, and beautiful women, everything is indispensable, plus Zimon has repeatedly discussed the war, and the wisdom he has shown when discussing the war, he can be regarded as a brain-like existence of the Shadow Knights, and many nobles have come to humbly ask for advice, ranging from how to capture the heart of a certain beauty, to how to manage their territory, and those who don't know really think that the gangster is a knowledgeable and intelligent sage.
However, in order not to be suspicious of Drae, he asked each nobleman who came to his door for a large sum of gold coins, so that Drae would not see a staff officer spreading prestige in the Shadow Knights, but a staff officer who was greedy for money and made money.
