Chapter 374: The Problem of Dividing Troops
When a whole group of dragon monsters appeared like a dark cloud over the town of Shach, Lieutenant Colonel William was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, and when Captain Steve patiently explained everything to him, he hurried to the toilet.
Lieutenant Colonel William did not see Ziran and Gulf because they were hiding and did not show up. Qi Lang also made sense to do this, on the one hand, he didn't want this sycophant to talk nonsense, and on the other hand, he and Gulf also had other tasks to do. They need to enter the Snow Wolf Canyon first, trying to find out the situation in the valley before the big army makes a feint, and if possible, it is best to find out the whereabouts of Iglu or Mr. Zhulai.
In order to hide his face, Lieutenant Colonel William was still appointed the supreme commander of the operation. He had been idle for a long time, and this time he finally had a place to use. In order to show his loyalty to King Henry, he also deliberately rummaged through the cabinets to find the long sword that was almost rusty.
"Pray for me, Michelle. He kissed his wife affectionately as he parted, "This may be the bravest moment of my life, your William is about to go to war, a real battlefield, more real than ever." Prepare two things for me, a sweet Cabernet Sauvignon, and a dry shroud, where the glory of the Giles family is in one fell swoop!"
Michelle was completely captivated by her husband and forgot to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes: "You are so brave, my dear. Your bravery always smells of male hormones, which is fascinating, please say a few more words to me, let me revel in your bravery. ”
But Lieutenant Colonel William couldn't say anything more, because he needed to hold his breath. Otherwise, he would have choked up like a child. Qi Lang, who was hiding far away, really hoped that he could be braver. After all, he was Joanna's father. If he wets his pants on the battlefield, it will be a stain on Jojo for the rest of his life.
After a day's rest, and after setting up the defense around the town, the operation officially began.
Under Steve's leadership, oh no, under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel William, who was already fainting in fright, a hundred dragon monsters carrying more than 2,000 soldiers quickly entered the sky above the eastern entrance of Snow Wolf Canyon. The first wave to attack. It was a drizzle. It was an artificially created drizzle to remove the ubiquitous fog. This trick was devised by Lieutenant Colonel William, the courtyard of the lieutenant colonel's mansion was very large, and when the water vapor was heavy in the early morning, it was occasionally troubled by fog vapor, and often at that time, the large showers of the servants came into play.
In order to complete the task of artificial rainfall, almost all the showers in the town were requisitioned, and the River Etrian selflessly supplied most of the water.
The drizzle played a role, at least when Zilang and Gulf quietly broke into the valley mouth. The surroundings can still be seen more or less clearly. The cliffs stand on the forest, and the ground is full of rubble. Occasional animal bones...... It's the same place as ever, it's still so silent and terrifying, it's chilling.
Shukin, who was sent back to the kingdom of Zonghao to deliver the letter, happened to be back at this time. She was so impressed that she set a new flight record - covering nearly 20,000 kilometers in just four days, and it seemed that the white-necked jay was infinitely close to the highest level of the golden pet.
Schukin brought a long letter from Jira. Except for the part of the complaint, the overall situation is quite good - the domestic political situation is stable, and the two old gentlemen, Wen Lun and Man Yushu, manage the House of Representatives in an orderly manner, that is to say, Qi Lang, the head of state, will die in a foreign country, and there will be no changes in the Zong Hao Kingdom. In addition, some remote towns in the south are receiving surrender one after another, mainly thanks to the grace and power of the warriors Dong Hong and Lansai, who are everywhere they pass.
And the last news that Jira mentioned was even more exciting. The Otto Empire seems to have encountered some trouble, the Tiger Cavalry that was originally pressed on the border has withdrawn, and the retreat has been extremely complete, and even abandoned the southern barbarian tribes that were originally conquered by them, which may indicate that Jenny did not fully control the war machine of the Otto Empire as she wished, or it may be that Abscion, who was bent on revenge, gathered some remnants of the party and wanted to seek justice from the cruel Jenny. In any case, as long as the Otto Empire cannot send troops to rebel in the short term, and after the danger on this side of Snow Wolf Canyon is successfully resolved, Jenny will no longer be able to realize her ambitions.
Putting aside Jila's fierce words, his worries have been resolved, and Qi Lang's mind has also settled down, and he can concentrate on the upcoming fierce battle in front of him.
The fog dispersed and rose and scattered, and the dragon monster support in the air was not powerful, but at least his own large army was overhead, which could make Gulf's fearless heart even more fearless. At this moment, his tone of voice was also louder, and even his waist was straight.
"It's the first time I've noticed that there are so many forks in the canyon. He waved his arms vigorously and lowered his voice to analyze the situation around him, "If you want to be more efficient, my advice is to arrange for Scheukin to fly quickly, circle a few more times until we find our enemies, and then we will march together and use your sword and my arrows to catch them all!"
Qi Lang knew what Gulf's subtext was, and he took the lead in making a seemingly reasonable suggestion, mainly to gag the lord's own mouth, so as not to preemptively say the plan to divide the troops and advance. But his machinations have been seen through, and Qi Lang won't let him hide like that.
"Schukin has a big role, and I couldn't agree more. Qi Lang still took out his plan, "But she can't fight, even if she flies fast, if Credon finds out about her existence, there is still no guarantee that she will take action before we kill her." Our task is to try to find our people, and if, as we judged beforehand, Major Marcus and Dodim are not dead, but are being held there as hostages, won't it be too late by the time we rush over?"
"So, what's your suggestion?" Gulf's face visibly bittered.
"My suggestion is that we go our separate ways. Qi Lang looked up at the sky, the dragon monster was still hovering in the air and spraying rain downward, the archers on the dragon monster's back had not found anything, and the sharp arrows had not shot any branches so far, so he continued: "At the moment, we have not entered the danger zone, so don't be too nervous." At the same time, you have to believe in yourself, you can do it, you are the best warrior, you have proven that. ”
Gulf gasped hard: "I have to say, you think a little too highly of me, Your Majesty. What if I accidentally run into Felix's unbeatable devil? You know, he and I don't have a very good personal relationship, and if the person he hates the most in this world is you, then I should be second. ”
Qi Lang smiled comfortingly: "You also know that we didn't rush here to fight them to the death. Our purpose is to save people, and the one who really attacks will be Steve and them on the top. If you spot any opponents, just fire a signal arrow into the air, and at that point, the archers' support will fall from the sky, and I'll be able to rush over as fast as I can. From what I know of you, you can run faster than Wilson in danger, and they can't catch you. ”
Gulf nodded reluctantly, calming down a little, presumably he must have been reciting the mantra of the saint in his heart again, and I hope his courage will come to him as he wishes. He looked around a few times, and he hadn't made up his mind for a while, but Qi Lang was already a little impatient. After two more rounds of rain attacks, when the fog in the canyon is lighter, Steve and the others will shoot arrows into the canyon according to the agreement, and launch an untargeted strike in order to have a deterrent effect, but he and Gulf have not yet entered the predetermined location, and if they continue to delay like this, I am afraid that by the end of the battle, their assault team will still have no results.
"Are you alright, Gurve?" Qi Lang shook Gurve's shoulder hard, "Or do I have to assign you a direction to advance?" ”
"Wait, wait! I'm analyzing. Gulf muttered, and stretched out his finger to point left and right at the two intersections in front of him, "Okay, I've chosen! Belch...... That's it!" He finally made up his mind, and completely squeezed the hesitation out of his mind.
Qi Lang tightened the belt around his waist, and finally instructed Gulf: "Remember, let Schukin help you keep an eye on the situation around you, when you encounter an enemy, take dodge as the first priority, and if you can't avoid a fight, apply for air support as soon as possible." Steve won't let you get anything wrong, his eyes will always be on you, and I'll be - I've lost that good brother of Ou, and I don't think I'll allow anyone to harm my other best friend!"
"I'm terrible, you're not disappointed, are you?" Gulf's facial expression twisted in embarrassment, "I always thought that when I became stronger, I would no longer be afraid of any situation, but now it seems that my judgment was completely wrong. I'm just a coward, a coward with a beginner fighting level, and this will make people laugh out of their big teeth when they say it. ”
"No, Gurf, you're not!" Qi Lang's eyes gleamed in the light mist, "You're just worried about the huge responsibility, you're worried about not being able to complete the mission, and thus affecting the safety of the Dodim, that's not about guts, it only shows that you are a good man with a sense of responsibility, and a respectable warrior!"
