Chapter 118 - Waiting for Work with Ease

Henry looked in the direction where the voice came, and a pale-faced middle-aged man came into his eyes, it was one of his strategists, named Hank, could it be that he really had any good ideas?
Henry slapped the table, "Speak quickly!"
I saw Hank take two steps forward and answer unhurriedly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Since we can't attack it, then we can only let them take the initiative to come out, why don't you send an envoy with a war letter to provoke their supreme commander. If they plan to fight in battle, it will naturally fall into our arms and can be annihilated in one fell swoop. If they refuse to fight, it will undoubtedly be a great blow to morale, and over time the morale of the army will be weakened, and it will be broken without attacking. I don't know what the upper \ will feel about this method?"
Before Henry could speak, the strategists had already spoken out against it.
This time, there are senior generals of the Kingdom Army in the Elemental Association's Spiritual Master Unit, and the Kingdom Army sent Chen Ning Wenshan to make peace with the United Army, but he was sent back by the Great Force. At the beginning, the coalition army did not abide by justice first, and the other side will inevitably be resentful, if it is revenge on the people we sent this time, what if it is good!"
Hank retorted, "As the strategist of the Coalition Army, we don't have to charge the front line as a civilian official, which is already a great favor, if we don't even have the courage to serve the general at a critical moment, we are as timid and afraid as you, so what's the use of keeping you alive?"
A long-lost smile appeared on Henry's face.
"The matter of sending envoys has been decided, so who will be sent as envoys?"
Hank saw Henry's answer, and spoke again.
"The general is slow, and although the matter of sending an envoy is feasible, it still needs to be considered in the long run. I have heard that this kid is a big ghost, and many experienced veterans of our army have suffered losses from him, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve the goal once or twice, and it is necessary to send envoys continuously in a weekly unit until they are successfully provoked into battle. Therefore, this matter is neither a day's work nor a one-person's responsibility. In the next Bucai, I wish Mao Sui to recommend himself to serve as the first envoy to explore the way for everyone, as for the other personnel, it is all up to the above \ will be arranged. ”
Hank had said this, and the other strategists had no reason to refuse, so they had to answer in unison.
"It's all up to the top \ will be arranged. ”
Henry immediately adopted Hank's plan and arranged for a group of advisors to be dispatched, and three days later, it was time for Hank to go to the First Branch to make a war letter.
Hank is a man with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and he is the most proficient in the art of agitation, and can be called the first person with a poisonous tongue among the officials and strategists under Henry. The war book he wrote was sprinkled with more than 10,000 words, which can be described as extremely tricky and sarcastic, but any bloody man will rush out to fight with him after hearing the first three paragraphs, not to mention the arrogant spirit clan.
Therefore, Hank was confident before he set off, but when he arrived under the walls of the First Branch and read the battle book aloud, he found that the reality was much more skinny than he imagined.
No matter how provocative he was, whether he was sneering, whether he was scolding Huai, or even scolding him directly, and throwing out any harsh words, the spiritualists on the city wall just looked at him coldly, and there was no reaction at all. Hank was like fighting against a wall of cotton, every punch he threw with all his might, but what was fed back to him was a deep sense of powerlessness.
Approaching the late autumn in the north, a biting cold wind was blowing, and Hank, who had read the battle book to the end in the cold wind, was covered in cold sweat, this situation was too embarrassing, he was in a dilemma, and he didn't know how to end it.
Finally, Hank ended his declaration of war, and he was greeted by silence, in which a young man lazily opened his mouth, but Hank preferred that he didn't say anything, because he actually cheered-
"Well said!"
The cheering teenager was none other than Shi Di, who was condescending to enjoy Hank's performance, and what was even more bizarre was that with his applause, the spirits on the city wall crackled and applauded.
Hank secretly wiped his forehead, thinking that this kid was really unpredictable, and when the applause fell, he said stubbornly.
"Since Your Excellency approves of the war I have just issued, why don't you send a large army to fight our army in a happy battle, and shrink into the city for months like this, and be intimidated by the prestige of Admiral Henry, and be frightened one by one to be turtles?"
"Hehe, no fight. ”
Shi Di dropped this sentence and turned to leave, leaving Hank alone in the wind. Hank didn't give up, and acted in a one-man show for more than an hour in full view, but until he ran out of words, he never got a response.
Hank returned with a bang, but Henry didn't stop the provocation, and in fact he had no other choice. One strategist after another was sent to provoke the other side, and they went away with their war letters in their arms, only to return in silence like Hank.
In this way, the days passed day by day, autumn went to winter, and winter came to the whole north. At this time, five and a half months had passed since Hengli led his army to the location of the First Branch.
Shi Di integrated the three spy skills on the spy book, and at the same time practiced hard to absorb divine power, and finally advanced to the next level, from the second order to the first order. Yi Miao once again showed an amazing talent for spiritual arts, and in just half a year, he practiced thunder and lightning spiritual arts to the highest level, and for a while it was rumored to be a good story among the militia troops, and gained a large number of dead followers, including the original troublemaker Huo Haoran.
Tammer trained all the skills of the archer to the mastery stage, successfully transferred to the hunter class, and practiced several new skills such as eagle dog summoning, prey catching, deadly combo, and arrow rain to the proficient stage. Shuwan not only learned the Hou Jiu style of both love and non-attack, but also used the spirit stone in the north to carry out a new round of upgrades to the ink bird, adding a spirit cannon and an emergency protective shield to the ink bird, which greatly improved the ink bird's attack ability and survivability.
Ke Meng pestered Shi Di to accompany him with his absorbing divine power for strength training, and after half a year, he actually practiced from the third-order medium to the second-order middle. It is said that he has far exceeded the strength required by a warrior, and even reached the standard of a dragon knight, but because he only cares about training brute strength and abandons professional skills, he can't even turn into a berserker now, and can only use the skills of a warrior.
Yan Sing broke through the stage of dancing girls early, and now she is an excellent singing and dancing girl, and she has practiced battle dances such as Feather Dance, Soldier Dance, Cloud Gate Dance, and Xiangsheng Dance.
Speaking of which, everyone has improved, but this Gu Ci has no motivation and has nothing to do all day long, either drunk or taking his turtle around to tease the few girls in the club. Fortunately, everyone was no longer surprised, so he was allowed to go.
During this half year, the coalition forces set up camps in the mountains, forests and wilderness, and the tents stretched for hundreds of kilometers. Since the Elemental Association has always defended and not attacked, over time, the Combine has relaxed its vigilance, unaware that the day when their good days will end is not far away.
After Shi Di finished training the militia every day, he would always stand on the city wall and observe the actions of the Combine Army with a telescope. Seeing that the other party was becoming weaker and weaker from the initial murderous spirit, the cold made these soldiers who were accustomed to the warm climate in the central part of the country complain, and most importantly, in order to keep out the cold, the tents that stretched between the mountains and forests were already connected. Shi Di understood that the time was almost ripe.
There have been three heavy snowfalls in the north, and the famous local festival of boiling snow will soon begin. This is a custom festival that belongs exclusively to the spirit clan, and on the day of the snow boiling festival, each spirit clan will personally take the snow and boil it into sweet soup. Legend has it that if you do this, you will be blessed by the snow god, and you will not encounter any difficulties in your practice in the coming year.
The day of the great counteroffensive was set for the day after the Snow Cooking Festival, and the snow soup was down, the morale was soaring, and the sense of racial honor of the Spirit Race was mobilized to the fullest, enough to make them not take any threat seriously.
With an order, the Flame Division, as the advance force, launched a surprise attack at night, targeting the company and battalion of the Combine Army, and one fireball after another was thrown into the camp tent with unmistakable accuracy. The dry air in winter, coupled with the accumulation of a large number of dead branches and haystacks to protect against the cold, spread very quickly, and soon the camp was turned into a sea of fire.
The Combine soldiers were suddenly attacked by fire in their sleep, and they ran out of the camp in a panic before they even had time to put on their clothes, and the barracks became a pot of porridge.
"It's on fire! Quickly put out the fire!" ordered a quick-to-react officer, pulling at his throat.
It was a harsh winter, and the surrounding water sources had become thick ice, and there was no way to extinguish the fire. Although Henry also brought some psychics with him this time, including several frost psychics, who were working hard to cast spells to extinguish the fire, compared to this huge fire dragon hundreds of kilometers long, the strength of these psychics was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.
All of a sudden, smoke rose and fire filled the sky, and before the official battle began, the combined army had already lost nearly a third of its strength, and even the remaining two-thirds were panicked and collapsed.
The task of the flame division was successfully completed, and then the remaining six divisions were replaced, and the show was officially staged, and the spiritual skills of each department shone in the night sky, looking from afar like the fire dragon was decorated with colorful gems, which was very beautiful. The fire dragon burned from night to day, and from day to night, for five days and five nights, before finally ceased.
Rao is no matter how well Henry is proficient in the art of war, in these five days racking his brains to give orders, he almost put on armor and charge into battle in person, but in the face of the opponent who has the right time and place and all the opponents, after all, he is also lacking in skills. Even if he ordered a retreat, the back road had long been cut off by the ambush soldiers laid out by Shi Di in advance. The coalition's million-strong army escaped, suffering countless casualties, and in the end, there were only a thousand remnants left.
In the main tent, Henry wore armor without saying a word, and the communication soldier next to him spoke cautiously.
"General, the general trend has gone, you will inevitably be captured and humiliated, so let your subordinates cover your departure!"
Henry ignored it, but took his own pair of hammers and walked straight out, leaving the messengers and several strategists staring at each other.

Crowd: (ignores)
Hank: Hey, hey, are we still in the same dimension?
On the lack of existence, I feel how embarrassing it will be.
