272: Ready
After listening to Dmitry's words, Antaeus and the other eight generals couldn't help but look at each other.
The legion general thought for a moment and hesitated, "To tell you the truth, we have long planned to rise up and resist, but the Eastern Romans have stationed more than 100,000 troops in Anatonia, and there is a powerful golden-robed archmage Narciss. And we are unarmed and closely monitored, and I am afraid that it will not only be difficult to make a strong counterattack, but will lead to a lot of unnecessary sacrifices......"
Dmitry explained with a smile: "Don't worry, we have already thought of a countermeasure to this, His Royal Highness Prian, the eldest prince of the Mermaid Kingdom of the Sea of Koto, has formed an alliance with us, and he personally led his elite Tiger Shark Knights to ambush in the open sea of Nicaea City, and will attack as soon as we are ready." At that time, the Eastern Romans will inevitably send troops to rescue, and the fortress defense is empty, and it is a good time for us to defeat the enemy! As for the golden-robed mage Narcis, there is no need to worry, we have two top masters to help us in this operation, and this one behind me is His Excellency Elrens, the governor of Delos in Athens, he is a giant dragon from the Black Sea Dragon Island, and he has made outstanding achievements in the battle of Pera!"
The young general stretched out his hand and pointed at Elrens, and then said: "In addition, in Troy City, we have another messenger from Dragon Island, with the two of them to help, Narsis is not an opponent at all!"
Antey Oston was overjoyed, and as a general of Pera, he was also quite concerned about the recently concluded Battle of Pera. Elrens had heard of his defeat of the seven Electors of Holy Rome in this war, and his fame had shocked the world. Although the Legion General felt that the legend of the Black Dragon might be exaggerated. But it is undeniable that the other party must be a top master, with the help of him and another dragon, plus the elite knights of the mermaid kingdom. It is not impossible to defeat the Eastern Romans!
Thinking of this, Antaeus immediately nodded excitedly to the evil dragon, and then said: "Since the young general is ready, then what else do we have to say, as long as you give an order, we will immediately rise up and fight to the death!"
"Very well!" said Dmitry, too, cheerfully, "since the general is willing to help, then there is no need to wait." We will contact His Highness Prian as soon as we get back and start acting as soon as possible!"
At this moment, a general in black armor next to him suddenly reminded: "Even if the Tiger Shark cavalry of His Highness Prian can help us divert the main force of Eastern Rome. But Polybeccon's Eastern Floating Fleet is stationed near here, and this fellow has surrendered to the enemy since the death of Melagaros, and he has led the floating fleet to support the enemy in case we begin to move. I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with!"
Everyone thought about it. Indeed it is. The floating fleet is condescending and has an excellent view, and it is easy to deal with an army with no air cover at all. Although Elrens is strong, he may not be able to gain the upper hand in a short period of time due to the anti-aircraft fire and magic shield of the fortress, and the Anatonian Legion will inevitably face extremely heavy losses......
After a moment of silence, Antaeus proposed, "We have a good relationship with the generals of the Eastern Floating Fleet, and I can contact them tomorrow." Ask them to come and drink in the evening, and then they will all be taken hostage. If there is a ...... who dares to resist or is unwilling to help us kill the enemy"
When the legion general said this, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture to wipe his neck, gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Just cut them in two!"
Everyone looked at each other and thought that this idea was very feasible. At this time, the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark, and the people of the Eastern Floating Fleet do not know their plans, and there should be no doubts in the face of the invitation, once the other party comes here, it will not be so easy to leave. And the Eastern Floating Fleet has lost most of its commanders, and its combat effectiveness is definitely greatly weakened, which is very advantageous for their actions!
Dmitry and Antaeus then discussed some more details before taking their leave. It was agreed that they would attack at the same time tomorrow evening, and defeat the Eastern Romans in one fell swoop.
In the middle of the night, Elrens, Dmitry, and Hector returned to Chryses' apartment. At this time, a small group of princes and ministers from the nearby states had gathered in the high priest's drawing-room, and these people had long hated the Eastern Romans for various reasons, and they secretly established a rebellion group, and often gathered secretly to discuss how to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the enemy, but because their strength was too weak, they never achieved much success.
As soon as Chryses raised his arms, the members of the rebel group immediately responded, gathering in his apartment to discuss how to coordinate their actions.
After Elrence and the others returned here, everyone sat down, and the high priest spoke first: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have contacted the noble lords of the nearby countries who are interested in rebelling against the Eastern Romans, and after hearing the plans of Elrens and His Excellency Dmitry, they have decided to do their best to help this operation. Including myself, we were able to gather a total of 3,000 private soldiers, and although our combat effectiveness could not be compared with that of the regular army, our determination to kill the enemy to the death was unquestionable!"
When Chryses said this, the hall burst into applause, and everyone cheered.
The High Priest raised his hand to silence everyone, and continued: "Tomorrow evening, whether His Majesty Priam agrees to send troops into battle or not, we will gather all our forces outside the city of Troy. When the Eastern Roman army divides its forces to rescue the city of Nicaea, join forces with the Anatonian legions and take the fortress of Abydos in one fell swoop!"
There was another round of applause in the hall, and Hector, the great prince of Troy, saw the scene of everyone fighting the enemy together, and thought of his father's cowardly fighting for the enemy, and felt very ashamed in his heart, and lowered his head and sighed again and again.
At this time, a middle-aged nobleman in the distance, armed with a heavy sword and wearing knight's armor, shouted: "I am willing to lead the daredevils to charge forward and storm Abydos, and join forces with the Anatonian army to take the fortress!"
Dmitry whispered to Elrens: "This is Ella, the great prince of the Thebais Kingdom, and Chryses is his godfather, and the relationship between the two is extraordinary. ”
