Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Establishment of the Combined Army
If only strong strength is everything, then there will be no dragon slaying warriors since ancient times, and powerful dragon individuals are not an existence that humans can compete with. And it's as if a single wolf can't defeat a lion, but a pack of wolves can kill a fierce lion. When the individual is not strong, the unity of the group will make up for this deficiency.
Jones is a very powerful existence as a dragon, and with Mo Yan's strength that has not yet seen the limit, it can be said that there are very few opponents on the continent. But on the mainland, it is not just a place where you can do whatever you want without tycoon.
In the history of mankind, there are many powerful monsters, but in the end, they can only become history and achieve the prestige of many heroes. Mo Yan may be able to defeat the strongest Chosen Warrior among the intelligent races on the continent, but he will not be the opponent of a group of Chosen Warriors, if he relies on his own strength to act recklessly, then he can only usher in the fate of those demon kings in history.
Therefore, Mo Yan adhered to the rules at the beginning, not only because it was beneficial to the development of Thunder Cliff, but also because he knew that his strength was not unlimited. Now that the City of Parliament has 10,000 defenders in Lobito, Mo Yan may be able to go to the offensive to help, but he can't be the only one.
If they could not keep the 10,000 men in Lobito, they were allowed to return to the City of Parliament. Then relying on the guarding facilities of this council city, even if all of Elam unite to form a coalition army, there is nothing they can do in a short time. So Mo Yan ordered Refora to stop and establish a defensive line when it was still far away from Lobito.
Only when Santa Fe's army of 4,000 or more people arrived, Mo Yan was sure that he could leave these council city warriors as much as possible and weaken the resistance in the next attack. Once the 10,000 Salt warriors are lost, then the council city will be dwarfed in the process of defense, even if it is fully defended.
Five days later, Arica and Ankud finally sent a letter, inviting Mo Yan to Ankud to attend the meeting. The loss of just three thousand men made Ankud a little anxious, and the already small number of fighters was now even fewer. Now, even if all of Elam were united, there would only be more than 10,000 warriors.
This made them start to think about Thundercliff's proposal, and the people who didn't want Thundercliff to be involved in the first place also shut up because of the sudden attack on the council city. Because of Mo Yan's identity as a monster, it is not good for the entire Elam, and if you don't stop the 10,000-strong army in Council City at this time, then the next one to fall is Santa Fe.
And once the city of Santa Fe was captured, then the city of Parliament would occupy a third of Elam. Elam would gradually lose the power to compete with it, so Arica and Ankud agreed to Mo Yan's proposal and reconvened the council to discuss the formation of a coalition army. As the two main bodies of this meeting, one thing is clear to both Arica and Ankud, that is, they will not hand over the command of the coalition forces to a monster.
"Then let's start the meeting. "In the large council chamber, there are only three people and one monster at the moment. Because Lobito was occupied, the city representatives in the area near Arica had no way to get to Ankud through there, so only the representatives of Arica sneaked over as representatives of the entire Arica forces.
And for the sake of fairness, the Ankud and Santa Fe forces also elected a representative who could represent the cities north and southeast of Elam, to participate in the reconvened parliament. As the first time Mo Yan participated in this council, it can be said that the number of participants in the history of Elam is the fewest in the game, so Mo Yan does not know whether to feel lucky or unlucky.
Emily, who came with him, did little to make a difference, after all, this was not a regular council. At the same time, Mo Yan did not have the opportunity to use Emily to remind most of Elam's cities the fact that he had joined the Salts.
"I think the three already know about the fall of Lobito. Mo Yan opened with a direct and straightforward statement: "The goal of our meeting is to form a coalition army to liberate the parliament city occupied by the rebels and put an end to the turmoil that has been going on for months in Elam. β
"Yes. Arica's representative nodded and said, "But there are quite a few differences between Arica and Ankud about how the coalition is formed. That's why the last council didn't come up with a result, and the assassins in the city assassinated the city's representatives, and we need to reach a concrete intention in terms of command and the supply of supplies for the coalition forces. β
"Ankud believes that the command of the coalition forces must be in the hands of Ankud, and we have just lost three thousand people because of Lobito. Ankud glanced at the Arica representative and said, "And we have also inflicted a thousand losses on the army of the Parliament City. With such a record, I believe that Ankud is more than capable of commanding the coalition forces and defeating the legions of the Parliament City to liberate the Parliament City. β
"Hehe......" Arica's representative smiled and said, "The three thousand defenders were defeated in two days, I really don't know where your so-called command is." If the command of the coalition forces is handed over to Ankud, maybe there will not be many people left in the coalition forces in a few days, right? If Arica's men are stationed in Zilobito, we are fully capable of delaying until the moment when reinforcements arrive, and Arica's commander has the best military qualities of Elam. β
"Lobito was lost in two days because the gates were opened at night. Representative Ankud's face was a little unpleasant, and Representative Arica's words made him feel embarrassed and said, "I don't think even Arica's people can do better, and from the information we have recently received, Azera of Parliament City is in collusion with Maro. The Shadow Force, which is very famous in the Central Plains country, has already helped him in the dark. β
"Maro?" said Arrian's representative, frowning, "Are you saying that Azela's coup d'Γ©tat was entirely provoked by Maro's shadows?
"Yes!" said Ankud's representative, who was a little proud that he had obtained this information with Arica first, "Some time ago, we noticed that there were unidentified people transporting weapons and equipment to the Parliament City from the outside world. Although they did not reveal their faces, it can be confirmed that they are not the Salts of Elam, and now only Maro can enter Elamite from the north. β
Arica's deputies were shocked by the news that Ankud's deputies had brought up, and if all this was a shadow at work, then today's parliament would not be safe. Elam has no dark power to match, and it is impossible to tell when these assassins in the shadows will jump out of the darkness.
"This is not new news. After watching the quarrel between Arica and Anku, Mo Yan smiled and said, "As early as a few months ago, Thunder Cliff had already grasped this news and had some fights with them. If it weren't for the protection of Thunder Bluff, the commander of the Santa Fe Expeditionary Force would have been assassinated by those shadow assassins by the time he captured the first city.
But it's not the Assassins in the dark that we need to worry about now, it's about the formation of the coalition, isn't it? I already know from what you two just said why the last meeting failed. Since neither side has any intention of giving up the command, why can't a joint command be formed?"
While Arica and Ankud were shocked by the information Mo Yan had, they were also suddenly enlightened by Mo Yan's proposal. Yes, since both sides are unwilling to give up command, it is better for both sides to send a corps commander to jointly command the coalition forces, so that the command will be solved.
"As for the issue of supply, I think it would be better to supply their own fighters according to the current level of both sides. Mo Yan continued: "Sending all the resources to one city in one place is just a unified transportation, and the soldiers on both sides enjoy the original supplies separately, so won't the problem of supply also be solved?"
"This really solves most of the problems. Although it was a little embarrassing to let a monster solve the problem that had not been solved in the council city for nearly a month, Arica and Ankud both thought it was a good idea and said: "If the problems of command and supply have been solved, then the formation of the coalition army will be very feasible, and the next thing we need is to discuss the assembly place of the coalition army......
In Mo Yan's few words, the biggest problem that plagued the formation of the coalition army was solved. The rest of the discussion is about unimportant issues, and the Santa Fe City Legion that is now in Caldera will be directly integrated into Arica's army, and will go to Lobito to join the Thunder Bluff Monster Legion stationed nearby, and surround the 10,000-strong legion of the Council City.
Ankud, on the other hand, did not participate in the battle because he had to defend the city. But even this is already there, and the nearly 9,000 Salt warriors, with the addition of the monster legion of Thunder Cliff, it is not a problem to defeat the legion of the council city. The question is how to prevent them from escaping back to the City of Parliament after defeat.
Once Lobito is captured, the remaining soldiers of the Council City will surely flee. This requires an army to hold the road between the city of Parliament and Lobito, and to keep as many of the escaped warriors as possible, so that they do not escape back to the city and make it difficult for the next attack on the city.
