Chapter 34: The Horn of the Counterattack
"That's right, now that His Majesty Cliff has been captured, if there is anyone who can hold high the banner of royalty and unite the lords who are still resisting, it must be Isha. ”
Leah nodded.
Leona and Karen's analysis is right, the Galova Desert is east of Randall, and the fastest way for them to return to their homeland is through the Great Desert and the surrounding small countries, and then go directly to the eastern border of the kingdom.
However, Germain also knew this, so after mastering the southern and central Randall, he quickly moved eastward, trying to open a separation zone outside the border, completely cutting off the possibility of the princess entering Randall.
"Let's hope Germain hasn't completely completed his quarantine plan, otherwise the worst-case scenario would be for us to head north and cross the border from Snow Lotus City. ”
Leah pointed to a few points on the map, then said.
"It's hard to meet that expectation, look at this - the city of the Giant Mountain, which was originally the domain of Germain's henchman, Count Mokov, and where we must pass through to enter Randall from the east.
To the north of the mountain city is a branch of the Kelbride Mountains, and to the south is too deep into Germain's territory. ”
The countess expertly pointed out the dilemma that everyone was facing: to the north was to climb the mountain, to the south was the territory of Germain, and in the middle was an enemy city.
"I don't have to think about the south, and I can't think of any reason to go directly into the other party's territory anyway. As for Giant Mountain City, it's not for me to say...... Our strength is a joke for a siege, not to mention the fact that we don't even have siege weapons......
So I want to say. We should choose to head north, from the Kelbride Mountains into Snow Lotus City. ”
Rowan said.
At present, there are about fifty knights and hundreds of soldiers in the two sandbanks, and this is the entire combat power of Leah and the others. In order to avoid being used by giant sandworms to beat their teeth. Little Lori sealed several Valorets and hung them in various corners of the ship. No creature was willing to devour these spooky flowers, so they didn't run into any trouble along the way.
But even so, as Rowan said, a team of hundreds of people is simply a mantis arm in the face of a castle.
"You're right, but it's too slow to climb the mountains, and a lot of our equipment is very heavy. ”
Karen shook her head, even if it was just a branch of the Kelbride Range. Considering the magical beasts on the road and all kinds of equipment, it may take at least a month to climb over it.
"What I want to know is. What's the quickest way to do it?"
While the crowd was arguing, the princess spoke.
"There is no doubt that it is to go to the giant mountain city, but as Rowan said before......"
"Then let's go to Giant Mountain City!"
Isabella interrupted Kalian, putting a halt to the debated topic.
"If you use that. Isha?"
Leah looked up. looked at the princess and asked.
Although everyone discussed here for a long time, they got a seemingly inexplicable answer, but in fact, they also knew that they also had three killer features on their side - teleportation magic, chant, and ......
"Ah, I've decided! Let the mountain city be the first sacrifice of the Colossus. ”
The princess nodded. His eyes were full of determination.
"Wait a minute, if you really want to use a last resort, you might as well use teleportation. I'm leading a team through the giant mountain city from the side, and it's definitely not difficult to build a teleportation crystal behind it. ”
Although Leah is reluctant to play the trump card as soon as she comes up, there is really no other way to get out of the predicament at present. However, even the trump card has to be divided into sizes, and the Colossus is definitely a bigger card than teleportation, but because of this, the restrictions on how to use it are also problematic.
First of all, every time the Colossus is activated, it is a violent consumption of the hearth, and there are only a handful of things that can become the heart of the Colossus, and what they currently have in their hands is a branch given by the Elven King after solving the trouble of the Elven Forest, a branch from the newborn Ancient Tree of the Wind.
Secondly, the Colossus will also consume a large amount of Red Sand Steel and Mithril every time it is activated, and for the current team, basically starting the Colossus once is already the limit.
In comparison, teleportation magic that can be reused is definitely a better choice.
"I see what you're thinking, Leah. Yet I'm going to stick to the Colossus, not for anything else, I'm going to tell Germain, and tell the people of the kingdom that their princess is back!"
Isabella stood up, tightened her white cloak, and then said solemnly:
"I will blow the trumpet of this counterattack! Let the nobles who remain loyal pluck up the courage when they hear the news of victory! Let those who dare to betray me tremble when they hear the news of defeat! Let the giant mountain city, and the minions of Germain, be reduced to dust by the roar of the golem!"
The princess spoke impassionedly about her determination, which made everyone solemn.
"Ah, since Isha you've said so, what else do I have to object to. ”
Little Lori blinked, agreeing with the other party's approach, what the princess wanted was not only a tactical victory, but also a strategic victory - to deal a hard blow to the arrogance of the rebel party......
A few days later, a small team quietly marched through the deep forest not far from Giant Mountain City.
"There's Giant Mountain City ahead, Princess. ”
Karene said, pointing to a dark shadow in the distance.
"Finally...... It's ......."
Isabella's tone was full of emotion, and through the magic of night vision, the castle in the distance was faintly visible, which was once her kingdom, but now it was the battlefield where she announced her return!
The Giant Mountain City, as its name suggests, is a massive castle at the end of the mountain range, firmly blocking the entrance to the eastern border, and it is an inescapable test to enter Randall's territory.
"So...... Let's get started, I'll need guards when I create the Colossus, Karen, please. ”
The princess nodded at the countess.
"Ah, leave it to me.
Alec, Rowan, you lead your team in two directions, killing all the suspicious characters you encounter along the way!"
"Yes!"
With the countess's order, the crowd moved swiftly and quietly.
Leah and the others began to paint magic circles in this forest.
The so-called Colossus is not carried all the way here by them like a big tree, and the Colossus technology in the strict sense is a magic circle used to generate giant dolls. Although Lori doesn't know the specific principle, it doesn't matter, she just needs to follow Isabella's instructions and add specific materials in specific places. (To be continued......)
