William Einfurt was a little worried about his father's mental state and asked:

"What's wrong with you? It's just an ordinary sparrow, what's wrong? ”

William crouched down and picked up a rag to help his father clean his boots, but was stopped by his father.

"Don't rub! This sparrow inspires me, and I'm a little reluctant to wipe it off. ”

(Looking for inspiration in guano? Now, my father is tired of his brain? ）

"Do you have a fever?" William pursed his lips and reached out to touch his father's forehead.

"Smack!" Dali slapped his son's hand off and said with a smile: "Bastard! You're not crazy yet! Gather your people together and have a new plan! ”

The officers and staff officers were all confused: "Prime Minister, what new plan?" ”

Dali stretched out his finger and pointed to the sparrow on the top of the tent and said:

"On the farm outside my hometown of Tagarvi, sparrows are a scourge alongside locusts and voles.

They like to steal food in groups and pull guano everywhere, and the local farmers can't get enough of it, so they think of a way to deal with it. ”

William was interested and asked, "What way?" Do you sprinkle pesticides? ”

"No, it's not safe to use pesticides, it can be eaten by cats, dogs and children, and Tagarvi farmers have adopted the old method, which is fatigue tactics."

William reached out and scratched his fiery hair: "What do you mean...... Didn't understand. ”

"Hmph, you know how to please your wife, take a little time to read!

Well, the sparrows of the native species of Valstad cannot fly for long periods of time, and after a while they have to land and rest, the farmers take advantage of this.

People are armed with simple drums and horns, and once they land, they scare away them with noise.

Several villages joined forces to act, and the sparrows had no place to rest, so when they were tired of flying, they fell headlong to the ground, and were soon killed by the hounds that came to them, and I had the good fortune to see them a few times in the countryside of Tagarvi, so I was very impressed. ”

"Wait...... I get it, I get it! ”

William Einfoot instantly understood what his father meant, and said excitedly: "I guess your plan is to cast a net of Luodi, forcing that dragon to keep flying and have nowhere to land, and when it is exhausted and has to fall, it will be easily killed by our weapons." ”

Dali looked at his son's red hair and thought of his departed beloved wife.

(Hey, Janening, I wish you were alive and see how smart our baby William is!) ）

A staff officer said incredulously: "Prime Minister, so...... You want to learn from the villagers' way of dealing with sparrows...... Dealing with that terrifying dragon? ”

Dali lowered his head and wiped the bird droppings off his boots, and said:

"Why not? Isn't that a bigger sparrow? ”

"Uh...... That's the case," the staff officer said embarrassedly: "But our dignified emperor ** people actually use the methods of the villagers to ......"

Dali sensed the disdain in the other party's tone, and said sharply:

"I know that you are all children of nobles and graduates of prestigious schools, so you will inevitably be a little arrogant, but don't look at the wisdom of the phosphorus people."

Seeing that the eyes of the officers under his tent were still full of suspicion, Dali continued:

"Hey, hey, I'm not fooling around, it's a serious plan, I promised Your Majesty to take care of these two dragon knights, no matter what goes wrong, I, the prime minister of the empire, will be on my side, you don't have to worry about taking responsibility."

The staff officer was served: "Sounds interesting, we await your orders, Prime Minister." ”

Dali thought for a moment and slapped the table: "It's decided, let's try this method of catching sparrows!" All the generals listen to the order!

First of all, I must grasp the clenched fist and stretch it into the palm, I will spread the army flat,

Break up your forces into company formations, and then spread them out on the farmland roads in nearby villages.

Each team is responsible for a self-defined area, with the most eyesighted soldier acting as an observer and being given a telescope.

As soon as they saw the dragon, they sent light cavalry to follow after them, followed by heavy cavalry, infantry, and artillery, until the next group took over. ”

"What to do if the enemy flies to the mountains? My people can't go up. A cavalry brigade commander asked.

"Good question!" Dalilei pondered: "Hmm...... Mountainous terrain that was difficult for cavalry to navigate...... Then send the mountain division up to garrison, clerk! I want you to write to all the military districts in the vicinity and ask them to cooperate in the completion of this plan! ”

Sweat ran down the clerk's forehead: "This is a big job, I have to find enough messengers and pigeons." ”

In the following week, the plan, codenamed "Catch the Sparrow", was a great success.

After destroying a large area of farmland, whenever the dragon knight wants to land and rest, a large number of emperor ** teams will follow.

The dragon knight and his dragon were caught up after him after only a short pause, and the approaching army forced the dragon to take off again with its tired body in tow.

He hoped to hide and sleep for a while, but the dragon's purpose and scent were too obvious, and each time he was quickly discovered and forced to take off again.

After a week of tossing and turning like this, the sleepy and tired dragon knight and his dragon finally lost their strength, so they had to make a desperate bet and fly to a cave on a mountain in the south of the scale country to rest.

He thought that no one would disturb such a barren and precipitous place, but after only one rest, he heard the sound of metal tools cutting through the rocks at the entrance of the cave.

The climbers were as agile as apes, not only carrying individual weapons up the mountain, but even lifting heavy equipment with ropes.

"Attention all! Check the bolt safety, put on the new flint so that the shot fails, load the bayonet, prepare the grenades, and the sparrow is in the hole, ready for a close-quarters encounter! ”

It was a lean, short, middle-aged man who shouted - Colonel Lockship, commander of the 104th Mountain Division of the Valstad Empire, because he had a goatee and was extremely good at rock climbing, so he was nicknamed "Rock Goat".

The soldiers of the mountain division under his command were also short and nimble light infantry, and they were also known as mountain jumpers because they were good at mountaineering and rock climbing, and they were good at ambushing and moving movements.

"I heard heavy breathing over there! Come here! One of the scouts shouted.

"Rock sheep" Colonel Lockhip ordered: "It must be in that hole, the good news is that the altitude here is not high, and there is plenty of oxygen."

Pioneer Group! Light all the kerosene lamps and fire flares! ”

"Bang Bang ......" three large-caliber phosphorescent flares exploded almost simultaneously, and the white phosphorus attached to the roof of the cave began to burn violently and emit dazzling light, creating three suns.

All the soldiers of the 104 Mountain Division clearly saw the operational objectives

- Among the strangely shaped stalactites lies a snoring and panting dragon, and on the saddle on the dragon's back is a knight in slatted armor.

"Hehe, after a week of hard work, I finally caught the sparrow."

Like a gold digger seeing a gold mine, Colonel Rock Sheep smiled and shouted excitedly:

"The boys of the 104 Mountain Division, one of those present is counted as one, and they are all lucky!

The Prime Minister has promised you great rewards, medals and bonuses, and the opportunity to meet His Majesty the Emperor, so come on! ”
