"Lan Fangso, why are we retreating?" the representatives sent by the priests of the temple questioned the Lord of the Sand Nation.

"Because our losses are too great, they have come to the town-level powerhouses, and there are far more than one, at least five or six. Lan Fangsuo half-removed the armor from his body, and a thick right arm stretched out, allowing the military doctor to bandage him.

There was a large arrow-shaped hollow there, caused by him blocking the rose arrows that had been shot from the fortress walls.

Leonis's sniping of him was different from that of the priests, the Rose Arrow did not explode and became many small air arrows, but remained unchanged from beginning to end, and the fighting spirit and the arrow were highly combined to have the immediate result, penetrating Lan Fangsuo's ground attribute Dou Qi and heavy armor together, but fortunately, Lan Fangsuo used his arm as the last layer of protection in time to block the heart point.

"But we can still fight, why don't we continue, even if they have a town-level powerhouse, we also have you, as well as the priesthood, and a large number of pious soldiers!" the priest representative angrily accused.

"So do you want to continue to send you to death?" Lan Fangsuo snatched the strip of white cloth from the military doctor's hand and bandaged it himself, but his strength may have been too great, and he broke the strip of cloth in one fell swoop, so he had to stretch out his arm and let the military doctor continue.

"Honorable priest, you must understand that my devotion to the goddess has never changed, however, the shape in front of us has not been against us, and the damage caused to us by the enemy's attack just now was largely caused by its town-level powerhouses, and after we suffered huge losses, although we repelled their attack, we did not inflict substantial damage on them. If we continue to stay here and attack, we will only be slowly consumed by their strong defenses. Between two fires. Lan Fangsuo said solemnly.

The Lord of the Land of Sand finally persuaded the priests of the temple to give the order to retreat. Although the army in front of him still has a certain advantage in field battles. But with the arrival of the enemy's strong, this advantage is being lost.

It had already been clear from previous battles that the enemy would rely on a strong defense to defeat the forces of the Temple Alliance and the Land of Sand by attacking again and again.

The strong men of the other side and the alien warriors who were already elite enough can now rely on that strong fortress to attack again and again to bleed the coalition forces, and then after dealing a certain amount of damage, they can hide in the fortress and recover like this time, waiting for the next opportunity to attack.

In this gap, it will take enough time for the coalition forces to break through this fortress. Every time the opponent attacks, there will definitely be siege equipment aimed at their own side.

If you do this a few more times, the strength of the coalition will gradually decline until it weakens, and then the opponent will turn around and attack and defeat your own side.

Breaking through that strong fortress, Lan Fangsuo has lost hope for the time being, if he can still grasp the breakthrough before, it is because the opponent's strong man has not yet arrived, and now he has lost the opportunity to attack.

What's even more puzzling is what is in the fortress that can bring material support to the aliens in an endless stream. It can also send a town-level powerhouse with great power, in the world of aliens. How many such strong people are there?

These questions lingered in Lan Fangsuo's heart, but the Lord of the Sand Country did not dare to say it to others for the time being, including the priest group, although these priests of the temple were extremely devout to the goddess and could play a huge role in battle, but they were not good at grasping the entire situation of the war.

After explaining the unfavorable situation to the priests, the Lord of the Sand Country pointed out that the best option now was to slowly withdraw his troops and withdraw from the effective attack range of the other party.

Even if the other party takes the initiative to attack, because it is too far away from the fortress, it will be difficult to support the long-range attack on the fortress, if it is simply a field battle, with the three town-level powerhouses of the enemy attacking during the day plus a small number of elite soldiers, Lan Fangsuo is still sure that with the superior forces in his hands, with the cooperation of the priests, annihilate his attacking troops, and leave the lives of one or two strong men.

In this way, it is more likely to form an effective confrontation, although the own army cannot complete the mission of this operation, but it can form a certain threat to the aliens in the fortress, so that they do not dare to expand too much, and avoid more areas falling and being enslaved.

Of course, the army can only be suppressed in the form of a threat in a short time, and it is not possible to do so for a long time.

Because tens of thousands of troops have been staying here, even with the support of the temples in the neighboring regions, the support from the Five Nations Alliance, and the dedication of the rescued villagers, it will still form a heavy burden, and there will inevitably be a big war to end the invasion of these aliens.

Therefore, during the period of confrontation, Lan Fangso will immediately pass on the latest situation to the Five Nations Alliance and the Mana Central Temple.

As long as there is further support from the Grand Temple and reinforcements from the Five Nations Alliance, the final victory will surely belong to the Great Goddess.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have heard of your valiant battles, so come, toast to your bravery. ”

On the third day after the victory in the defensive battle of the fortress, President Ambrosius of the Mogul merchant group personally arrived at the plane of Fadel and held a grand celebration inside the fortress.

Of course, this grand event is just a sign that Xiàn has delivered enough supplies, so that the warriors in the fortress can be rewarded with sumptuous food.

Due to the chaotic interior layout of the fortress, the reward banquet was arranged in the open space of the fortress.

After Ambolos came out to toast the warriors, he returned to a simple stone chamber in the fortress.

The stone chamber was equally empty, and now there was a banquet, which Ambrosius had set up for Solomon and his own celebratory feast.

"Thanks to all of you this time, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that the base of this merchant group in this plane would have been captured. ”

"President Ambrosius, this is a temporary victory, but I don't think it's a long way from resting back. Giffreth said lightly.

"Yes. Although the Fadel people retreated, the people who led the army were not stupid, and they saw that if they continued to besiege this place, they would only be exhausted by our repeated attacks until they weakened. Now they have retreated to a farther place to set up camps, so that they can keep an eye on us and attack the fortress at any time. The initiative is still in their hands. Perinoa said worriedly. "That's it. We simply don't have a way to control this area and bring it under our control. ”

"President Ambrosius, we have accepted your offer, and of course we will do our best for the Chamber of Commerce, but given the current situation, it seems that we alone will not be enough to completely defeat the enemy. "Cherki.

All eyes were on Ambrosius, and among the conditions that Ambrosius had promised them, in addition to money and some special materials needed. There is also one thing that is enough to make people excited, that is, each person can get one percent of the profit of the Mogul merchant group in the trade of the Fadell plane.

Don't underestimate this number, this is a plane.

Although the people who accept the employment of the Mogul merchant group this time may not have a simple purpose, even Solomon has to admit that this is a big deal, but the premise is that the Mogul merchant group can eat the target, as far as the current point of view, this is almost impossible, if it is done with the entire Titania, there is no doubt that it can be done.

The most important thing for Solomon was to determine if the plane was rich in black rock. But in the current situation, he has to think about it. Even if there were, would the Mogul merchant group sell it to Titania when they couldn't eat it?

Once the Titanian Empire is fully involved, there will be little point for Solomon to stay here, he can't fight against it, and it's unlikely that he will even create some trouble for the titania behemoth to occupy here, and even if it does, it will only be crushed lightly, and it won't have any effect.

At that point, the most important thing he should do is to quickly return to Asturias, return the situation, and start preparing for the series of changes brought about by the Titanians will get enough Black Rock resources.

After Titania or other countries get the rich black rock resources, it means that their dimensional development efforts will be unprecedented, and it may bring new challenges to Asturias in the future, greatly catching up with Asturias's current advantage in the path of magic.

On the contrary, if the Mogul merchant group is greedy, and through guò bribery or interest relations, colludes with some people in the upper echelons of the empire, and has always held the right to open up this plane, and blocks Titania to intervene directly by paying a certain tax, then it can still buy Asturian some time, and even if Solomon can first parse the new plane coordinates before Titania officially intervenes here, and successfully connects to the teleportation magic array in the Asturian Teleportation Hall that has been maintained with black rock magic and is waiting to be connected, then the Asturians will have a chance to get a piece of the Fadel plane。

Thinking of this, Solomon couldn't help but deliberately say: "President Ambrosius, Cherki is right, if the Mogul merchant group does not have new reinforcements coming, we can only keep this fortress at most, but this seems to be a failure for the merchant group. Before we arrived, the Merchant Regiment had been recruiting the Expansion Guard, when will these reinforcements come?"

"Also, the President, you promised that there would be people here to help us, but when we fought, the native reinforcements you mentioned did not appear. Leonis was also unhappy with this, referring to the Count of the Evil Eye, whom Ambrosius had spoken of before her departure, the enemy of the Temple of Manna and her followers.

Everyone couldn't help but show concern about these two issues, after all, this is related to everyone's life, although they accept the hiring, but not to the point of selling their lives, if the Mogul merchant group has no reinforcements, they can only be trapped in this fortress.

Ambrosius had to answer, "We already have a way, we will build a new teleportation magic circle like the one of the Asturian people, that kind of magic array can safely teleport ordinary people with little protection, and then we can launch a counterattack and defeat those hateful natives." As for the native allies that I have assured you, they will do so as the situation changes, and as soon as they do, it will be difficult for the Temple of Manna and their allies to pour all their strength into us, so that no one will be able to stop us from taking the immediate vicinity. ”

The others breathed a sigh of relief, Solomon also got the information he needed, and Ambrosius's words may not be able to grasp the deeper information after listening to it, but Solomon was able to analyze it.

If the Mogul merchant group builds a new type of teleportation and maintains it forever, it will need a large amount of black rock, and now the richest source of black rock known to Keos is in the hands of Solomon, and although the other countries have also found some in the dimensional exploration, they are either small ore veins, or they are still at war with the natives, and they have not completely taken it.

And the Mogul Merchant Group used various means to prevent Titania from directly intervening in the operation against Fadel, so it is impossible for them to get a stable supply of black rock from Titania now, unless they can disclose Fadel's secrets to Titania and gain support.

In this case, they had to open up on their own and be able to build a new teleportation magic array, which only means that the Mogul Merchant Group had successfully discovered and mined a part of the black rock vein during the period of occupation and enslavement of the nearby area, and then had to stop mining due to the large-scale attack of the Fadells.

In order to continue mining, the Mogul merchants must at least control this area, and out of greed, they may also think that there are more black rocks in other regions, so they would rather bribe some powerful people in Titania to prevent the empire from directly intervening, hoping to use their private power to control this place, and then negotiate terms with Titania, so that even if they still have to hand over to the empire in the end, the return will definitely be many times higher than if it is just a piece of news now.

All that is left to do now is to find the vein that the Mogul merchant group has already mined. (To be continued!)
