You know, Huatahi is a relatively strong fighter, but when he faces Chinobi, he feels very powerless and can't compete with him.

Chinobi smiled and asked, "Now, do you believe it?"

Huatahi was silent for a long time, then asked, "Why? Why are you hiding your strength?"

In Huatahi's view, Chinobi has been challenged by his subordinates for many years, as many believe that Chinobi is not qualified to be the leader of the army.

But now it seems that the commander is so powerful that Huatahi finds that he can even see every move in front of him!

"How are you feeling right now?" Do you want to keep trying?" Chinobi asked, looking at Hua Tahi.

Huatahi sat down weakly, "Well, you've been pretending all these years! I lost, I served."

Chinobi waved his hand, "I don't need an answer like this. I want to ask, will you continue to fight with me in the future? Are you going around questioning my decision?"

Hua Tahi subconsciously shook his head, "Don't worry, I won't. As for what you said before, the reason why I've been able to live well all these years is because you have secretly helped me, and I believe that."

Chinobi stared at Flower Tahi with strange eyes.

Huatahi frowned, knowing that this was still not the answer that Chinobi wanted, and he couldn't help but ask, "And what exactly do you want?"

Chinobi smiled gently, "You've been in conflict with me all these years, and I've never blamed you. If, after today's conversation, there was a sudden and dramatic change in your attitude towards me, what do you think other people would think?"

Huatahi is not a stupid person. After some thought, he understood what Chinobi meant: "You mean, I'm going to continue to pretend to be against you, but only superficially fighting and hostility, and secretly do what you instruct?"

The smile on Chinoby's face grew thicker: "Well, it seems that you are not stupid, it will soon become clear. If your attitude changes suddenly, it's easy for others to notice. If the Thornrose spy finds out, my identity will be revealed, which will affect the rest of the plan."

Huatahi nodded, "Okay, I see!"

He paused again, then asked, "I wonder if you planned a top-secret plan for the Warcraft Mountains this time?"

Chinobi did not veto: "This plan has been in the works for more than two years and it was not decided to implement it until the last six months."

Huatahi asked, "In the past, every time a mysterious person entered the Hades Hall to carry out the plan. He said he was from the Firmament City. He's supposed to be the commander of the army, right?"

Chinobi nodded, "Yes! But if you don't have enough strength to contact the demons, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even get out alive."

Huatahi wanted to understand all of this immediately, so he asked again, "This time, you left without saying goodbye. Does this have anything to do with this plan?"

Chinobi still nodded, "Yes, that's right!"

Huatahi didn't ask anymore, because he knew he already knew enough.

As for more details, there is no need, sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing!

"Now that you know my intentions, you should be more cautious going forward. Don't divulge any information, or our plans for years will be a complete failure!" Chinobi's voice became even more severe.

Hua Taxi naturally understood this, and then he frowned and said, "Just now, you said that Ace's big move was just posturing? Hopefully we can mobilize troops to attack him? What is his purpose?"

Chinobi put his hand behind his back: "It's easy. He's starting to realize the crux of the matter."

Hua Tahi was surprised. "You mean he already knows our plans?"

Chinobi shook his head, "Of course not! Our plans have been kept in a very secret state, and he shouldn't have known about it. However, if we rush to send troops this time, there may be a hole in the defenses of the Warcraft Mountain Range. If the spies of the Thorn Rose come in, our plans could be exposed sooner."

Hua Tahi shuddered. "In other words, I almost made a big mistake!"

Chinobi didn't care too much: "Now we just need to follow the original plan and slowly implement it, regardless of the actions at the border!" I'm going to see how much movement he can make!"

Huatahi still had doubts about this, but seeing Chinobi's determined attitude, he knew that he was not qualified to know these things yet.

Two days later, the legions stationed in the Warcraft Mountains received another message: the armies of the Prairie and Black Bull Provinces were marching towards the Yali River, the provincial capital.

As a result, the officers, who did not know the inside information, felt very critical and asked Chinobi for reinforcements to the border! But without exception, they were all rejected by Chinobi!

Many turned to Captain Huatahi for help, hoping that he would intervene in the matter. Naturally, Huatahi pretended to be angry, saying that he wanted to go to war. However, he had no choice but to lead the army to support him.

Therefore, those officers who advocated supporting the border could not continue to entangle, and could only sigh helplessly, losing a chance to obtain military merits.

Many people really don't understand why Chinobi insists on not sending troops to support.

However, Chinobi didn't notice these things at all. Now that he's got "Ichki Snake", it means that his plan is halfway there.

In the next half month, as long as he is not bothered by Ace, the whole plan will be very successful. At that time, Ace's *** will face a desperate situation.

However, before that, he needed to go to the Abyssal Gate one more time. After all, something is not done yet.

Two days later, when Chinobi was about to take the Ichiki Snake to the Abyssal Gate, the Legion got another piece of news!

The 120,000 troops gathered around Ace really attacked Sharp Province, and in just two days, they broke through 50% of the cities in Sharp Province!

For a time, the entire regiment fell into chaos. There are many official documents about the impeachment of Chinobi for improper command, and countless flying pigeons flew to the Sky City.

A lot of people are ready to laugh at the regimental commander for delaying the actions of the army!

What's more, he ran to Huatahi's side and congratulated him in advance on becoming the new commander of the army!

This made Hua Tahi angry, but he couldn't show it and could only pretend to smile proudly.

Later, Huatahi swaggered to the military camp in Chinobi, seemingly scolding and mocking the soon-to-be-dismissed regimental commander.

When Huatashi arrives at Chinobi, Chinobi drives away all the other subordinates in the camp.

"What the hell is going on? Didn't you say Ace kept putting on a show? Why did he really attack?" Huatahi asked anxiously.

Chinobi snorted, "I didn't expect this guy to be stupid. Straight to the east and west!"

Huatahi hurriedly asked, "What should we do now?"

Chinobi clasped his hand and told him not to worry, "Everything is under control. Don't worry!"

On the high walls of a huge city in Sharp Province, Ace stands against the wind, facing southeast.

The city is known as the "Nameless City" and is named after a large river that flows through the city. The river is blue all year round.

Next to him stood Henry and Zavarado.

These two people, one led the army of Yalijiang Province, and the other brought the army of the prairie, and together with Ace, they seized half of the territory of Sharp Province!

"Ace, do you think they'll act?" Henry asked.

Ace shook his head a little uncertainly, "I don't know, I just want to gamble!"

Zavalado was a little surprised: "Brother, you're too unsure. How dare you move forward so boldly? You're playing too big, aren't you? Do you know how many soldiers we've lost on this one?"

Ace sighed, "I don't want to do that either. However, none of our previous actions could deceive the support forces of the New Delhi Empire. It's enough for us to see that something very secret is happening in the Warcraft Mountains!"

Henry couldn't help but speculate, "The situation at the Abyss Gate is more urgent? It needs a large army to defend it, so he has no choice but to abandon the border?"

Ace shook his head, "It shouldn't be like this! According to Terrella's character, once

He knows that our army is under pressure, and he will definitely respond, or at least send reinforcements to resist!"

"Maybe he saw through our deception?" Henry continued to speculate.

Ace nodded, "It's possible! So, I finally decided to attack! Directly leading the troops of three routes to attack here, I just want to see where the bottom line of the New Delhi empire is. If they come forward this time and decide to retake the lost territory, it means that I was wrong! But at the moment, the losses are not serious, as long as the scouts in front of us can perceive the operation in New Delhi, after which the troops withdraw in time and do not fight! 「

"If they haven't sent a huge army yet, it means that the Monster Mountain Range is the most important thing in their eyes, and I have to find out what's going on inside! I don't know why, but I always had a very unsettling feeling that something terrible was going to happen soon!"

Zavalado sighed, "Well, I hope you got the right bet this time! If you make a mistake, we'll lose more than 10,000 soldiers!"

At this point, Zavalado felt a pang of heartache. After all, many of the dead soldiers were trained by him.

"If my feelings are correct, and we don't attract the troops from New Delhi, then I'm sure we'll be wiped out," Ace said.

Henry's expression was serious: "Is it really that serious?"

"I'm not absolutely sure, but my instincts are always accurate. This time, I am very disturbed by the abnormality of the New Delhi Empire!"

At this time, Ace suddenly said, "It seems that the answer will be revealed soon!"

Henry and Zavalado quickly looked into the distance. With their eyesight, they could not see the inconspicuous running figure in the sky.

Ace could clearly see that it was a wounded scout trying to lower his body and quickly ran towards it.

Ace can't wait. He jumped to his feet, and the dragon wings behind him immediately unfurled, flying towards the wounded scout.

Soon, Ace arrives at the Scout.

The scout was about to salute, but Ace picked him up and flew back to camp.

"There's no time. Let's talk while flying! What's going on up ahead?" Ace asked.

The scout quickly reported the situation: "The New Delhi Empire has sent 100,000 soldiers, and they are arriving at this time. It is estimated that they can reach Nameless City in half a day at most!"

Ace asked, "What is the strength composition of 100,000 soldiers?"

The scout replied, "100,000 men, mostly mid-rank soldiers and knights!" There are relatively few magicians. It is estimated that there are only about 10,000 people. Since the mage is at the end of the army, the exact strength is unknown!"

"Well, thank you!" Ace said nonchalantly.

The spies were visibly taken aback. He didn't expect the commander-in-chief to be so polite to such a small scout.

"How many brothers have died in front of you?" Ace asked.

The scouts knew that Ace was asking all the scouts about their casualties.

"Before I left, 15 people had died, and another 7 had chosen to stay in front and try to stop the enemy." Speaking of which, the scout's voice was very harsh, "but the difference between the numbers is too big to be of much effect."

Ace was silent, looking at the nameless city in the distance.

Soon, Ace and the scout landed on the walls of Nameless City.

Henry and Zavalado asked in unison, "How's it going?"

Ace's expression was serious: "It's not good. New Delhi sent 100,000 troops here, as if to regain the lost territory."

Henry and Zavalado looked at each other in disappointment. It looks like Ace lost his bet this time! Now they can only evacuate as soon as possible.

But Ace said, "The strength of these 100,000 soldiers is not very strong. They were mainly middle-ranking soldiers and middle-ranking knights. As for the 10,000 mages at the end of the team, we don't know the exact strength for the time being."

Henry frowned, "You mean we should continue to wait and see if we want to evacuate?"

Ace didn't

There was an answer, but Zavalado, who was next to him, flatly refused: "No! We can't afford to lose more soldiers! Our original army of 120,000 was formed by the gathering of three forces. In the previous war, we lost more than 10,000 generals. Now, the New Delhi Empire has sent 100,000 troops. If we don't withdraw, we'll lose a lot!"

"In addition, 100,000 troops are only one-fifth of the strength of the New Delhi Empire, but for us, it is almost half. They can afford it, but we can't! So we should evacuate as soon as possible! Originally, our original goal was not to occupy these cities!"

Zavalado was in a very urgent mood at this time, hoping that Ace would order the withdrawal of the army.

However, after thinking about it, Ace still chose to shake his head: "No, wait a little longer! I'll make a decision when I find the details of the enemy!"

Zavalado was very worried. "Wait a little longer? That's too late!"

Ace frowned, "Zavalado, why are you so impatient now?"

Zavalado was taken aback. After a long time, he sighed and said nothing.

In fact, in recent years, he has lost the impetuosity of his youth and has become more and more calm.

At the same time, he became more and more aware of the meaning of life and death. He knew that behind every soldier there was a family that was at great risk. If a soldier dies, his family may collapse!

Of the more than 10,000 soldiers who had died before, he was familiar with three soldiers with families, wives and children. Now, the three families are broken.

Now, Zavalado's mind is becoming more and more shackled.

Ace looked into the distance and said, "Don't worry. If they are truly determined to regain these lost territories, I will do my best not to let any soldier die!"

Then he turned to Zavarado and said, "Do you believe me?"

Zavalado's eyes showed a hint of helplessness: "Hey, I believe in you, otherwise I wouldn't have left the empire with you!" I'm just worried."

Ace didn't care: "You can rest assured. If the war really is going to start, I believe I will get everyone to evacuate quickly as soon as possible. I have spatial magic in me, so don't be afraid!"

With that, Ace walked to the edge of the inner wall and looked down.

Leonardo da Vinci raised his head, looked at Ace, and then immediately came to Ace's side.

"Go investigate and see how strong 10,000 magicians are. By the way, take a look and see if the strange smell you said last time is in the army." Ace calmly gave the order.

Leonardo da Vinci nodded, and then disappeared.

Henry was confused and couldn't help asking, "Ace, what makes you feel like there's something wrong?"

Ace faced east: "If there are no powerful archmages among the 10,000 mages, or there are not enough mages, I think it's just a conspiracy of the New Delhi Empire."

Henry pondered for a moment, "You mean, the other side is also testing us? Let's see if we're really determined to defend these cities?"

Ace nodded, "Do you think 100,000 troops are enough to recapture half of the land in Sharp Province?"

Henry frowned, "If the top-level power is strong enough, it should be enough. But if you only have the power of the middle and low levels, and there are no great magicians, it will be very difficult."

"That's right!" Ace's eyes are gentle. "If 10,000 magicians are of average strength, and there are no great magicians or enough magicians, it means that the New Delhi Empire is in no hurry to regain lost territory! They just want to scare us and want us to retreat!"

Henry couldn't help but ask, "How do you see that?"

Ace shook his head, "I'm just guessing! We'll know when Leonardo da Vinci returns!"

Soon, a figure appeared next to Ace. It was Leonardo da Vinci, who had just come back from reconnaissance.

"How? What is the composition of their strength?" Ace asked.

Leonardo da Vinci was wearing a helmet and could not see any expression. He replied in a flat voice, "Most soldiers and knights are of medium intensity, while mages are relatively strong. Yes

Fifteen Magisters, and many other intermediate and advanced Magi."

Ace, Zavalado, and Henry looked at each other and saw their surprise in their eyes.

Because they all thought that with such an army, it seemed impossible to win back this lost city.

What's more, it's easier to defend a city than to attack it. When the strength of the two sides is not much different, it is almost impossible to succeed in retaking the city.

Of course, the New Delhi Empire could choose to recapture several cities, but it was also risky to hastily surround a city, as Ace's troops deployed in the surrounding cities could support them in a short time.

Therefore, in order to ensure that these cities can be recovered, 100,000 troops are clearly not enough. What's more, the overall strength of this 100,000-strong army is not strong. It seems that looking at Ace's garrison is not enough.

Henry frowned, "Will there still be an ambush for the enemy?"

Ace waved his hand and said, "Probably not. I've seen it with the arcane. There are no people of any size within a hundred miles, only 100,000 people. There are no more than 20 people."

Not only that, Ace could feel all kinds of powerful auras in the Dragon Clan's Qi Lookout Technique, as long as it was a living body, he could feel it. But within a hundred miles, there is no strong breath.

Ace turned his head to Leonardo da Vinci and asked, "Is there a strange smell?"

Ace was referring to the strange smell that Leonardo da Vinci felt when he went to see Drew.

Leonardo da Vinci shook his head. "No, he's not on the team!"

"Good!" Ace breathed a sigh of relief. He had a gut feeling that the breath that Leonardo da Vinci said was not simple, and it would pose a great threat to him.

Zavalado's expression was serious: "Ace, what if the other party really chooses to attack us on a large scale, or attack other cities in a detour?"

Ace replied, "If you want to attack here, you can rest assured, I am here, and I will do my best to prevent casualties among the soldiers."

But if they go to other cities, I'll get the Knights to support them quickly. I want to see how brave and strong they are. With a force of 100,000 men, attack Gaocheng with a perfect defense system!

Hearing that Ace had already said that, Zavalado couldn't say more. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll plan the tactics first. If we really want to fight, we have to be ready!"

With that, he walked down the wall alone.

After Zavalado left, Henry had no choice but to shake his head: "Don't blame him. Now he's not a reckless man who can only charge! Now he is a great general, and he needs to think about all his subordinates! If he cares more, he will be more constrained."

Ace smiled bitterly, "Don't worry, I won't blame him! During those years, I abandoned the empire and left my homeland, and Zavarado did not hesitate to follow me. I was very touched. I can understand his concern!"

At this time, Ace's hand on the wall suddenly trembled, and his eyes suddenly became cold: "Let's go!"

No one else was aware of the tiny tremor, but Ace was keenly aware and did feel it.

He could feel the faint tremor of his palm, which was a regular vibration!

Ace knew it was the trembling of the horse's hooves, which fell to the ground.

"Get all the Shining Knights ready! If the army takes a detour, you must catch up with it as soon as possible!" Ace said to Leonardo da Vinci.

Leonardo da Vinci nodded, did not speak, and disappeared like a ghost.

Henry on the other side couldn't help but become jealous and said, "Hey, I really envy you for having such a loyal and powerful cavalryman! If only I could learn the magic of time and space!"

Ace smiled and said, "Don't think about it! You're already the number one warrior among the generals. If you add time and space magic, then there is no heavenly reason!"

Henry smiled awkwardly, "Well, I'm just talking about it."

When he said this, the trembling sensation became more pronounced.

This time, too, Henry felt a stronger and stronger tremor.
