"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something strange about me?" After I glanced at him and the slain Mocaster Empire swordsmen several times, Simon couldn't help but feel a little scared. He yelled at me with a guilty conscience, but he felt very unconfident.
"Master Simon, if I learn something, will I be able to use up all the Dou Qi in my body after sending out a stream of sacred Dou Qi?"
"This... this... if it comes to this, you... you continue to fight with those idiots... well! Aren't you close to Jerry? Go ask him to teach you how to increase your fighting spirit. Have you finished reading it? Give it back to me when you're done. I should leave now!" After hearing me bluntly point out the weaknesses of his fighting spirit training method, Simon became extremely embarrassed. He was so angry that he almost snatched the training secret from me.
"Well, I'll give it back to you. But I'd like to ask Sir Simon, what should we do now? Should we hide in a doghouse? Or continue to cause trouble for the East Continent coalition? Or should we just go and have some fun with those skeletons?" To Simon's surprise, I flipped through the book quickly and easily, and then threw it back to Simon, making him almost drop his jaw. Think about where I came from? The most difficult people on earth, especially those who come out of Chinese schools, may not be strong in anything, but their ability to memorize by rote is absolutely unparalleled in the world. At the same time, I asked Simon how our isolated army should exist in the East Continent. Of course, if he gives us suggestions or orders that are beneficial to us, I will certainly execute them without hesitation, but if it is not in my interest, then I will just treat him as fart.
"You... the higher-ups asked me to come out only to confirm your life or death, but there is no instruction on your next move. Let's do this! You act according to circumstances, but before those necromancers are eliminated, you should not harass the two countries in the East Continent for the time being, so as to avoid major, unexpected changes. After all, the primary enemies of mankind now are definitely those necromancers and orcs. If circumstances permit, you can even target those necromancers... Everything should be based on the interests of the empire!" After hesitating for a long time, Simon spoke out some great truths in a sonorous and powerful voice, but in the end, he whispered in my ear, "The interests of the empire are the most important."
After saying this, Simon directly led a military horse and galloped towards the direction of the empire. Looking at his receding back, I could only wish him good luck. Although he bears the title of Sword Saint and is also known as one of the best martial arts masters in the continent, his weaknesses are now directly exposed in front of me. Endurance, sacrificing the amount of fighting spirit, and directly pursuing the highest attack power are his biggest weaknesses. And his situation makes him only suitable for single combat, but not for group battles and large-scale battles. The situation where he was chased by hundreds of swordsmen with average martial arts just now is the best proof.
After Simon left my sight, I took out a piece of paper and a pen and wrote down the secret of cultivation. It was only a few hundred words, and I dealt with them all in a short while. Perhaps, I can pick out some of them and train a group of high-level swordsmen who can be trained quickly...
*************************************************** *****************************
In the following days, I quickly mobilized a large number of craftsmen to assemble a large number of vehicles using the large number of parts produced in advance. Once these strange vehicles were assembled, they immediately attracted the attention of many people.
With a diameter of 6 meters and a height of 2.5 meters, all the horses are hidden inside the carriage, and the entire exterior of the carriage is covered with a 5mm thick steel plate. Two circles of gear transmission mechanisms are installed on the periphery of the cylindrical body that can automatically rotate with the rotation of the carriage wheels. The faster the carriage runs, the faster these two things that are similar to enlarged bicycle wheels will rotate. . . . .
"Sir, are you sure this thing can deal with those skeleton soldiers? Although I am sure that those skeleton soldiers have no chance of knocking through 5 mm thick steel plates, how can we destroy them? Do we have to rely on cars to ram them?" Matthew's face was full of questions as he watched these strange cars leave the base one by one and head towards the capital of the Kingdom of Yan.
"Haha, we'll know when the time comes. I'll be leading the team this time, and I guess we'll be gone for quite a while. You take the rest of the troops, and in addition to giving basic training to the Andriel resistance forces, you'll focus on our bases. From the construction of various defenses, the storage of supplies, to the digging of escape tunnels, we can't slack off..."
"But sir, even if we add in the people from the East Continent who surrendered to us, we still don't need to store so many supplies. According to your request, those supplies are enough for a legion to defend and fight for decades..."
"Shut up, it's better to hold on for a lifetime than to run out of ammunition and food. Anyway, you just have to do exactly what I tell you, and you don't have to worry about the rest..." After hearing Matthew's continuous questioning, and thinking that I might have to face off against the undead army head-on, I was already in a bad mood, so I gave him the cold shoulder.
After arranging the affairs of several bases, I set out on the road to the Temple of Ferris with a large number of armaments and 200 carriages. According to the agreement with Queen Yan, I will take the supplies and equipment directly to this magical holy land worshipped by countless magicians of the Yan Kingdom to meet with the armies of the Yan Kingdom and the Mocast Empire.
When I arrived at the outskirts of the Ferris Temple, the entire area around the Ferris Temple had already turned into a huge military camp. The 100,000 heavy infantry, 370,000 light infantry, and about 30,000 cavalry troops of the Mokast Empire, plus the nearly 100,000 local garrison troops and 120,000 magician troops of the Yan Kingdom, had all gathered there.
More than 700,000 soldiers surrounded the entire temple within a radius of ten miles. But compared with the nearly ten million people in the four provinces swallowed by the Undead Legion, these troops can only be said to be a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Now we can only hope that the main cities in the four provinces have not given up resistance. Continue to absorb some of the pressure for the war here, so as to facilitate the destruction of those hateful bones one by one.
"Mr. Shen was very punctual, and except for the chariot, which we still don't know how to use, all the equipment was very popular among the magicians. Here, I can only express my gratitude to you first!
Hmm! This is Lord Parker, the commander of the Dragon Legion of the Mokaster Empire. Lord Parker will be in charge of the 500,000 troops that the Mokaster Empire is reinforcing this time... "After I sent the equipment to the magician troops of the Kingdom of Yan, debugged and taught them, I followed the guards who came to summon me to the Queen's temporary palace. After some compliments, the Queen introduced me to the Mokaster officers present.
What a coincidence, I actually ran into this guy once when I was negotiating a deal with Marshal Kanan, but at that time I was wearing another mask and drinking with his immediate superior, while he was being ordered around by Kanan like a dog and didn't even dare to fart. This time, he looked much more majestic... Hey, a typical vicious dog!
"This time, according to our spies' reconnaissance of the undead troops along the way, we found that the number of undead armies is indeed frightening. Judging from the number, they have at least more than 5 million... Three days ago, they had captured the city of Sichaya, and all the defenders and residents in the city had been killed. According to their speed, they are expected to come here after midnight tonight or tomorrow morning to fight with us. Although Mr. Shen is not a military commander, I still want to ask for your opinion, or if you have any suggestions?"
After Parker and I greeted each other, Queen Yann unexpectedly asked for my opinion. I didn't know what to do. I could give my opinions and suggestions, but I didn't want to overdo it. Otherwise, I would just be asking for trouble. But not saying anything would be bad, because it would be looked down upon and would not be conducive to the current situation. After all, destroying those undead is the top priority. If the undead army continues to grow, the consequences are not what I want to see. But Parker obviously disapproved of Queen Yann's attitude towards me.
"Your Majesty, I may not know much about combat. However, I have learned some relevant information from the magicians sent by several families to understand the specific situation of the undead army. In addition to what Your Majesty said, they also discovered an extremely important piece of information, that is, those undead wizards were not transformed by magicians, but by the sacred beast priests in the north of the continent..."
"What?" Almost at the same time, both the one who was listening quietly and Parker who looked down at me jumped up at the same time. Their faces were definitely not just shocked, but pale from beginning to end. . . . . .
He gently handed a magic crystal that recorded the scene from Feng Ya's charge into the undead army to her discovery that her subordinates were surrounded and began to evacuate to Queen Yaen, and quietly sat aside, waiting for their reaction.
But to my surprise, after watching that scene, Queen Yan and Parker just looked at each other and began to stare blankly.
After a long time, the first person who couldn't hold back was Parker of the Mocaster Empire. After tossing and turning anxiously for several times, he finally stood up.
"Your Majesty, I think I have to have the country immediately start a war readiness campaign and start mobilizing young men from across the country for basic training in preparation for this war. I hope your country can also make relevant preparations in the short term... so that we won't be caught off guard in the future! This may be a crucial battle for the survival of our Eastern Continent."
"Mr. Shen, please continue. I don't think you can just tell us these, tell us anything else, I think we can still bear it..." Queen Yann turned her eyes to me without paying attention to Parker. For the Kingdom of Yann, the combat power they rely on is entirely dependent on those magicians with strong attack power. The training and production of magicians is not like ordinary soldiers, as long as you catch some strong men and train them for a few months or even weeks before sending them directly to the battlefield. Without several years of strength, a magician is not even as good as an ordinary soldier who has been trained for a few months. In addition, the magicians of the Kingdom of Yann are all registered. As long as they are needed, she can concentrate and dispatch them anytime and anywhere. There is no difference between one day earlier and one day later. Even if she was 10 days earlier, she couldn't squeeze out such an extra magician.
“First, mobilize the elite troops that have been sent to the Western Continent to return to the Eastern Continent immediately, and dispatch the local garrison troops near the Western Continent to the Antillier region to secure the Andreer Canyon passage to prevent the Western Continent troops from taking advantage of the situation and invading.
Second, mobilize local troops near the northern Canglang defense line to immediately reinforce and strengthen the Canglang defense line. At the same time, mobilize the remaining main forces of various countries and concentrate them here to wipe out the undead army in one fell swoop.
Third, for tomorrow's battle, I want the magic artillery to launch the first round of attacks, and then my 200 chariots will form a formation to attack, followed by the heavy infantry of the Mocast Empire wearing magic collars (infantry and tanks working together?), followed by the magician troops of the Yan Kingdom. I suggest that those light infantry should not be deployed for the time being, and let them serve as the reserve and defense force here... "
"No, if you do this, you are simply sending the Empire's 100,000 heavy infantry into danger. I will never agree to your stupid suggestion. You are actually taking the initiative to fight against the undead. Do you think my soldiers are not dying fast enough? I..." After hearing what I said, Parker almost rushed up to attack me. But before he could take action, Queen Yaen's voice rang out.
"Captain Parker, I think you may have forgotten your identity! You were assigned by Emperor Mocaster to fight with us, and according to the agreement between me and your Emperor, you must obey my orders. Now, please shut up!" Queen Yann, with a gloomy face and a fierce slam of the magic wand in her hand, cut off Parker's words with an angry look I had never seen before. Then, she motioned for me to continue.
"I think your majesty will not have any objection to my first two points. The main problem is probably on tomorrow's combat steps. Let me make it clear that my plan can well preserve the strength of the coalition forces and prevent them from unnecessary losses. There are 200 chariots, and they are operated by only one driver and two magicians. Even if they are completely wiped out, I think no one will have any objection. As for the 100,000 heavy infantry, their role is just to pick up the fish that escape from the chariots. If there is a problem with the chariots, then the magicians will be the best guarantee to cover the retreat of the infantry.
Of course, the premise of this plan is entirely based on the fact that those chariots can play a role. If the chariot plan fails, then we still have to go back to the original offensive and defensive strategy. . . Lord Parker, what do you think? "Although I don't have a good impression of Parker, for the sake of tomorrow's battle, I still have to ask for his opinion. But if you go against me, you will have to wait and see in the future. Maybe I should ask the after-sales service team to provide you with a special service...
"Whatever you say, do as you please. But if my troops suffer unnecessary losses, don't blame me for being rude and pulling the troops away!" Parker stood up and walked away without even saying hello. (To be continued)
