Chapter 322: Countdown

"Impossible, impossible!" After a slight pause, Demps waved his hand repeatedly, and he smiled bitterly as he denied his overly fanciful idea.

There is indeed a big gap between Ziqing and the Dongyu Empire, but this does not mean that the Ziqing Empire can be easily conquered by other empires.

Due to the large number of lakes in the territory and the dual pressure of the two empires of Dongyu and Fengqi, the Ziqing Empire reduced the investment of the army very early and turned to the development of water liliang.

After so many years of hard work, the Ziqing Empire has become the most powerful empire on the water among the Seven Kingdoms of Youlan.

The change in military strategy not only reduced the external threat of the Ziqing Empire, but also greatly enhanced their ability to protect themselves.

Correspondingly, the number of the Dongyu Empire's naval army has always been strictly limited, and Virgil Bixia has exchanged the trust of the Ziqing Empire in this way, and has also left Ziqing, an ally of Zuihou, for Dongyu.

The Fengqi Empire has always been concerned about the development of the Dongyu Naval Army, and they have tried many times to stir up relations between the two countries through this aspect, but this conspiracy of theirs has always been defeated by the facts. Dongyu has almost completely opened his waters to the Ziqing Empire, and compared to the Fly Camp Gou Gou of the Fengqi Empire, Virgil does look much more atmospheric!

Without a strong naval army to protect grain, grass and baggage transportation, the Dongyu army can be said to be unable to move an inch in the territory of the Ziqing Empire!

No matter how good Edlaide is, without a steady stream of food, grass and baggage supplements, he will not easily enter the Ziqing Empire, let alone attempt to capture the Ziqing Empire.

It is also based on these considerations that Demps denied his previous suspicions, and can be further refined along this line. Edlaide's goal became even more suspicious, and Demps' expression became grim again.

"Maybe Virgil just wants to teach the Ziqing Empire a lesson. After all, during this period of time, Dongyu, the little brother, has indeed done a little too much in many places. ”

"I hope so!" Demps didn't agree with Nancy's statement.

"I'll help you think of a way to see if I can get those bigwigs to transfer some backup to you, and try to relieve some of your pressure!"

"That's all there is to it for now!" Demps was still a little worried.

"What's wrong with you today? Even if Edlaide does come, what if he comes? He's excellent, and you're not bad! According to the intelligence, he can only mobilize 70,000 or 80,000 men at most, and you have 20,000 elite soldiers, and you also have Ogden to guard the dangerous pass!"

"Anyway, Edlaide is also a man and not a god, I don't believe he can still make his army fly from the sky!"

When Demps heard Nancy say this, he laughed lightly and walked out of the war room with Nancy in his arms.

They didn't expect that Nancy's unintentional words would turn out to be true. Edlaide really took his troops into the skies.

It didn't take long for Demps to finally get the exact news that the Yaksians were fighting Edlaide.

After being attacked at the base camp, Kama was originally going to get rid of Edlaide's entanglement and rush back to the cottage as soon as possible to carry out a Jedi counterattack.

It's just that this idea of Karma was completely grasped by Edlaide, and he used the 'kraft candy' tactic to command the three-way army to firmly stick to the Yaksa rebels, and did not give Karma a chance to turn around and flee at all.

After more than ten days of suffering, Kama unexpectedly learned about a situation: Manteqiu, the commander of Dongyu's local troops, was due to the hot weather. Instead of setting up camp according to Edlaide's instructions, he chose to camp far away from Dongyu's main force and close to the mountains and forests.

Thinking that he had finally waited for hope, Kama immediately planned a sneak attack with the goal of severely inflicting damage on Manteqiu, and led a large army to steal the camp and rob the village overnight.

Kama never expected it. This turned out to be a flaw deliberately sold by Edlaide, and she also fell into the trap set in advance, and the Yaksa army was almost completely wiped out!

Kama himself was killed on the spot. Zuihou had less than 1,000 men to protect the seriously wounded Ula and his whereabouts have been unknown ever since. The Yaksa rebels were defeated!

Edlaide gave the task of hunting down Ulla to Empress Mantejou. Having led the army back to Daunogan three days ago, it seems that he can't wait to take over as commander of the Southern Army!

Multiple sources have confirmed that Edlaide did indeed lead a large army back to Nogan. This somewhat reassured Temple.

"Did you hear back from there?" asked Demps, looking at Nancy, who walked in through the door, very earnestly.

"I've told the bigwigs all your worries, but none of them believe that Dongwoo will really attack Ogden. In addition, the war on the side of the Aojin Empire is said to be very unsmooth, and it seems that in a short period of time, it will be difficult for them to send an elite army to support Ogden, who is still calm at this time!"

"But they also said that they would draw some local troops to support us, and they also promised that they would restore Ogden's backup once the pressure on the Aojin Empire eased!" Nancy said as much as she could.

"Local troops, where are there any local troops around here?"

"The pressure has eased, and Edlaide will probably have already hit Ogden by that time!" Temple sighed.

"Forget it! I knew they couldn't be trusted, and I didn't really count on them!"

"I hope Edlaide will attack this time, and I can see how legendary this boy is!" After learning about his situation, Demps lost so many scruples, and really showed the strong self-confidence and pride necessary for a good general.

"Ahh

"Who is talking about me again?" Li Zijun frowned and rubbed his nose dissatisfied.

"Kamar Touren, you really don't have to do that! As long as you appear in Ogden, even if Demps is very shrewd, he will not find any suspicion in you!" Li Zijun's dissatisfaction was not that anyone was teasing him behind his back, but that Kama had just made the suggestion.

"He doesn't doubt me, and it doesn't mean that he will trust me! I've made up my mind, so don't discuss this matter anymore!" Kama said as she took off her veil, she still looked like a young woman, but on her face, I don't know when there was an extra scar two or three inches long, which had not yet been sealed.

"Touren, why are you so trouble?!" Seeing the scars on Cama's face, Li Zijun couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, but the wood was already in the boat, and he couldn't say anything more, so he could only shake his head with regret.

"Appearance is not an important thing for me as a dying man, and the Grand Duke doesn't need to worry too much about it!" Karma smiled, as if he really didn't care about the scar on his face.

Li Zijun looked at Karma with sadness, he knew very well that even if a woman reached the moment of her life, she would not forget to show her most beautiful side. Karma's words are absolutely insincere!

"Chief, I won't say anything if I thank you too much! I promise you that as long as I live and Dongwoo still has a place for me, the Yaksians will never be treated unfairly!" Li Zijun raised his hand and swore an oath.

"Thank you!" Karma arched his hand to Li Zijun, turned around and left with his men.

"Young master, young master?" Seeing Li Zijun stunned for a long time, Diego stepped forward and called.

"Hey, call Mantejou in!" Li Zijun sighed deeply before he instructed Diego.

"Young Master, what do you command?" Mante Qiu, who had walked into the room, cautiously came to Li Zijun's side and asked respectfully.

"Trouble General, you continue to lead those 3,000 cavalry to chase after the 'Yaksa Rebels'! The drama must be played to the fullest, and no one else must be allowed to see any flaws!"

"Also, I judge that with Demps' caution, he can't easily let 'Ulla' in. If Demps is still hesitant when you get there, you must immediately attack the 'Yaksa rebels', and make sure Demps sees our determination to annihilate them at all costs!"

"Yes, young master!" Mante Qiu's face did not change, and he naturally took Li Zijun's order.

"After the deed is completed, you will directly lead the army back to Nuogan and report to 'me'. ”

"After resting for five days in Norgan, he quickly gathered the army that was still confusing Demps in Norgan, and hurried to Ogden in a hurried march. ”

"Wouldn't all of our strategic intentions be exposed to Temple, then?" reminded Mantejou with a slight concern.

"At that time, we were already on the verge of launching a full-scale attack on Ogden, and their intelligence officers simply didn't have time to relay the news back before then!"

"Perhaps, when their intelligence officers rushed back to Ogden, this place was already in our hands!" Li Zijun said with a faint smile as he looked at Manteqiu.

After the orders were passed out one by one, Jihua, who attacked Ogden, really entered the countdown stage!

At this moment, unlike the busyness of others, Li Zijun, as the commander, was idle, and he suddenly felt idle when he sat alone in the camp tent.

After going through the whole Jihua in his mind again, and making sure that there were no obvious mistakes, Li Zijun let out a long breath and walked out of his tent.

Looking in the direction of Ogden, Li Zijun showed a faint smile. After so many days of hard work, Kemp finally found out the traitors hidden among the senior generals of the Southern Legion, and what is even more valuable is that under the clever operation, Demps finally believes that he is still in Nogan City at this time, which has been proved by Nancy's lack of change in smuggling Jihua.

Thinking of this, the smile on Li Zijun's face was a little more proud!

The only regret is that under the strong opposition of everyone, Li Zijun had to give up the idea of entering Ogden again, which also made him linger all the time!

At this time, a person suddenly appeared in front of Li Zijun. Seeing him, the regret in Li Zijun's heart instantly turned into deep apology, he shook his head, and walked towards this person.

"Does Father Clifford still insist on entering Ogden?" asked Li Zijun with some weakness to the man. (To be continued......)
