Chapter 1191: Two Requirements
Compared to Arthur's star-studded headquarters, Lin Qi's Chinese tent was empty. In the huge tent, a simple magic sand table was placed, and several sets of swords were hung on both sides for decoration, and then there were no more tools for marching and fighting.
There wasn't even a single general in the tent who was filling the faΓ§ade, but at the moment, Arthur brought people to occupy a lot of space in the tent.
Hearing Arthur's straightforward request, Lin Qi looked at Arthur in astonishment. He was stunned and stammered, "Did I hear me right?, Your Royal Highness, you have tens of thousands of powerful knights, tens of thousands of powerful temple priests, and hundreds of reorganized legions, and you want my little poor army to be the vanguard?"
Pulling his fingers, Lin Qi chattered and fell.
"You see, there are only two Saint Mages hired from the Vyas Business Federation, Esko and Farlan, and only a dozen of their disciples have saint-level powers. And among the temple priests around you, there are at least hundreds of saint-level mages, right?"
"The generals under my command are only a few mercenary leaders from the Vias Mercenary Guild, although they have saint-level force, but they have never experienced the baptism of large-scale war! And how many punishment knights are there around you? 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, they are all elite knights cultivated by the temple!"
"My soldiers, oh, have pity on them! There are a little more than 30,000 mercenaries, they only fight in small formations, and they have never even participated in a battle of more than a thousand! 10,000 dwarven warriors. They barely have some combat power, but they only have 10,000 people!As for the five thousand Monster Knights, great gods, they were borrowed by our Earl from the Duke of Greenwood!"
Lin Qi waved his hands and shouted loudly: "Borrowed! Dear Royal Highness, do you know what this means?"
Arthur was stunned by Linzi's count, and he shook his head blankly. Shaking his head desperately.
Lin Qi sighed heavily, he stood in front of Arthur, and his hands pressed heavily on Arthur's shoulders. Lin Qi is very tall. Much taller than Arthur, he also dressed as 'Wann Dragon' with a standard large man, standing in front of Arthur like a wall.
He pressed down hard with both hands. Arthur's shoulder hurt, and he couldn't help but grin and scream, almost not being slapped by Lin Qi and fell to the ground. Diogo, who was standing behind Arthur, let out a low 'hum', and he took a step forward, and Lin Qi relaxed the strength of his hand.
It's a pity, at the moment when Lin Qi pressed down hard, he felt a terrifying divine power in Arthur's body, as hot as magma, as pure as gold, and as vast and unfathomable as the sea, ready to be unleashed. This is the life-saving force that a certain great being left in Arthur's body. Lin Qi felt that even he was as weak as an ant in the face of this terrifying divine power, and Lin Qi could only give up his plan to severely damage Arthur on the spot.
With a heavy sigh, Lin Qi patted Arthur's shoulder helplessly.
"They are the Beast Knights that our Earl borrowed from Duke Greenwood, so they won't completely obey my orders. β
"If my orders can benefit them, then they will happily kill all the enemies in front of them. If my order only puts them at risk. Then these Orientals will not hesitate to refuse my command. β
Lin Qi stared into Arthur's eyes and sighed deeply: "So, the main force around me that can really pull out to fight is honestly only those 10,000 dwarven warriors! Those tens of thousands of mercenaries, like those recruits under your command, can be used to scare people." But their combat effectiveness, I never expect much from them. β
"Only 10,000 dwarven warriors can be trusted!" Lin Qi shouted angrily: "You let me be the vanguard? Let me take a mere 10,000 warriors to be the vanguard? There are more than 10,000 generals under your command, right?" Dear Royal Highness the Prince!"
Arthur was silent, he followed Lin Qi's train of thought carefully for a while, and then he was stunned to find that it seemed that the words of 'Wan'en? Longshan' made sense - this army of the Longshan family looked extremely elite, but they did not seem to have too strong combat power.
A mere 10,000 dwarven warriors faced Arthur's hundreds of thousands of heavily armored cavalry, which was nothing more than a target that could be obliterated at the slightest command.
Then Arthur suddenly woke up from Lin Qi's misguidance, and he suddenly remembered the pair of powerful archers from Yew Island, who had amazing archery skills, and with the power of two of them, they could conquer a castle of abyssal creatures. Arthur suddenly realized that he had been 'fooled', this venerable old gentleman 'Wan'e Longshan', he had deliberately misled his own thinking.
He had witnessed the terrifying archery attacks launched by the Listening Wind and Thunderstorm brothers, the pressure on the abyssal creatures caused by the dragon lich's powerful undead magic, and the powerful combat power of those followers under Lin Li and Yun Tianyi. The Abyss army didn't even have the slightest resistance in front of them, and they were easily and completely defeated by them.
The army led by the Abyss Lord Almon had nothing to do with Arthur's army at all, and it was completely defeated by an army of more than 2,000 people sent out by this bad old man in front of him!
Arthur snorted a little annoyed, he raised his head arrogantly, and announced his decision to Lin Qi in a tone similar to an ultimatum: "Dear Lord Wann Longshan, this is our battle plan that has been carefully calculated. With the army of the Yongsan family as the vanguard, attract the opponent's elite army to attack you, and then my elite army will deliver a fatal blow to the opponent. β
"It's a perfect fishing tactic, and this elite but strong little army of the Longshan family is the most delicious bait. β
"An army that is small in size, but strong enough to withstand a prolonged attack by the other side, can best realize our plan. So, despite all the difficulties you have listed, I still ask you to take your men and set out as fast as possible!"
Lin Qi looked down at Arthur, and Arthur also looked at Lin Qi with his head slightly raised.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Lin Qi finally shook his head: "If you do this, it will be a great damage to the interests of our family. β
Arthur replied to Lin Qi's question in a deep tone: "But we are allies, aren't we? Allies should reflect their due value! If your army only follows my legion, and with the continuous victory of my legion, and constantly occupies the various interests of the fourth abyss, then why should I hand over this benefit to you?"
Arthur laughed shamelessly, and he smiled extremely shamelessly: "Although I have signed a business cooperation agreement with you, for me, if some of your actions disappoint me, then this contract can be terminated at any time. The Fourth Abyss has great profits, and I can choose other partners with better conditions!"
Lin Qi looked at Arthur in astonishment, he knew since he was a child that this was a shameless guy.
But Lin Qi never dreamed that when Arthur grew up, when he ascended to the high position of the prince, he would be so shameless as to be so shameless! Even the commercial contract officially signed in the name of the gods as a notarization can be torn up at will, does this guy still have a bottom line?
After being silent for a long time, Lin Qi finally nodded helplessly, it seemed that he had succumbed to the strong pressure exerted by Arthur.
"So, you won!" Lin Qi patted Arthur on the shoulder, "You won! You're right, I must be the vanguard, I must attract the most elite armies of the Abyss Lord to my side, contain them, and then wait for your army to deal a devastating blow to them." β
Arthur smiled with satisfaction, this was exactly what he wanted. Of course, he was reluctant to give up the Longshan family, a partner with astronomical wealth, but in this operation of the Fourth Abyss, he would never allow too strong external forces to exist.
The siege of the wind and thunderstorm has exposed the strong strength of some of the Longshan family, and Arthur must weaken the power of the Longshan family, because he will never allow any accidents to happen!
"This is a wise decision!" Arthur praised Lin Qi with praise: "The army of the Longshan family acts as the vanguard army, and you only need three to five days to resist their attack, and attract their elite to your side, and I will launch a final attack on them." β
"This is a perfect battle plan, there will be no mistakes, please trust the plans made by the generals around me, they are very good generals, they will not make any mistakes. Arthur laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't close it: "Please hurry up and lead the team to set off!"
Lin Qi looked at Arthur who was smiling, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his gloomy face.
"Well, I only have the last two requests. β
Arthur smiled lightly and nodded nonchalantly: "Say, say, what do you need?" As long as you can cooperate with me to complete this battle plan, no matter what you ask, as long as it is a reasonable request, I will agree to you." β
Lin Qi smiled heavily, and then raised two fingers.
"The first request, I want to take some of the soldiers who are willing to leave with me, after all, I will be besieged by the Abyss army, and I need some reinforcements. β
Arthur casually agreed to Linzi's request, just a part of the soldiers, what is this?
"The second requirement is that I need to get a certain amount of baggage supplements. The heroes of the Yongsan clan will be engaged in high-intensity, long-term battles, and they will need to replenish a large number of weapons, arrows, crossbows, and other weapons, and I will need to carry as much baggage as I can with me. β
Arthur glanced at the inconspicuous space ring on Lin Qi's finger, and then agreed to Lin Qi's second request indifferently.
