"General, don't we continue to step up our attack?"
"No need, the soldiers are very attentive today, marching and fighting again, this whole day has passed, if you don't rest, I'm afraid they won't be able to take down the opponent, and if you don't say anything, it will delay tomorrow's attack."
The two people who were talking were naturally the two members of the Ma Long Legion who had stormed towards the north gate of Shawan Harbor for a long time. The person who asked the question was Nathan, a high-ranking warlock, a senior advisor to the Malone faction. And the one who answered was none other than Ma Long himself!
Ma Long attaches great importance to this battle, and it can even be said to be his most important battle in recent years. In this way, of course he was worried about handing over his entire family fortune and such an important battle to others.
Morneau once commented that Malone is an idiot. He has his views, but Malone will never admit it. In fact, this is also the case. How can this middle-aged man be a real idiot if he can pull up such a large force from scratch in ten or twenty years
In the early years, Ma Long would often lead the army to fight everywhere—didn’t he do it himself when he subdued the Red Scarf Sand Pirates? Although disgraced, but after using some methods, the sand bandits were still brought under his command.
Although, in recent years, Ma Long has been a bit greedy for stability, his personal strength has stayed at level ten for a long time, and he rarely leads troops in person, but in any case, he is an experienced veteran in the battlefield.
Originally, their plan was to quickly break through Verina's defense at the north gate under a sudden attack, from the inside and the outside, and under the attack from both sides. But Verina's reaction was fast enough, and the defense line that was set up in a short period of time was quite complete, and the violent assault did not achieve the effect they wanted.
The plan was thwarted, but the scheming Ma Long didn't lose his mind. After a day of fighting without any results, and the sharp weapon he used to deal with the city gate, the ramming car, was completely destroyed, he calmly ordered the team to retreat and plan to Choose another day to fight again.
But this is not in line with their previous plan to take Shawan Port as soon as possible, so there was an initial dialogue.
Nathan asked: "If you can't take the north gate of Bay Harbor as soon as possible, if it takes a long time, will Dane come directly from White Wolf Castle to support? The distance is not far, from getting the news to setting off, it will be a day's time." The time will be almost there, even if the time for receiving information and preparing the luggage is counted, two days will be the most."
"Hehe..." Ma Long smiled, obviously talking about a very important question, but there was no worry on his face.
For direct competitors, they have also heard about Dane's military expansion plan. With the rebuilt two regiments of 3,000 soldiers, plus the strength of the garrison army, in terms of military strength alone, White Wolf Fort has already surpassed Malone Manor as a whole. Obviously, if Dane's main elite support came to the battlefield, with the strength Ma Long now possesses, it is estimated that he would not be able to beat him no matter what.
But his look of not being worried at all made his senior adviser Nathan feel very strange.
"General?"
"Don't worry." Ma Long patted the other party's shoulder and said, "Dane won't be able to come at least in a short time, and it might even happen. When we hear from him next time, he has already become a Maybe even a dead body."
"Oh? Any other arrangements?"
"Hehe, otherwise I would be so reckless to attack Shawan Harbor?"
"The general is wise and mighty!"
…
That night, Verina was having a headache because of the lack of food reserves in the defense line of the North Gate. When Malone and Nathan looked indifferent and didn't take Dane's support troops seriously, Dane was leading his army in the wilderness. march on.
When news came that there might be a battle at Shawan Port, Dane immediately ordered the whole army to prepare, gathered the troops as quickly as possible, and set foot on the road to Shahaiwan Port for support.
Therefore, at night, the army led by Dane had already traveled almost one-third of the distance.
It is impossible to finish the rest of the road tonight, but according to this speed, they will definitely be able to reach the battlefield outside Shawan Harbor tomorrow afternoon.
After all, the distance between White Wolf Fort and Shawan Port is still a bit far, unlike Malone Manor, where you can get there in a morning if you run fast.
But it doesn't matter, Dane believes very much that it is unrealistic for Verina to repel Malone's offensive with the strength of 2,000 garrison troops in her hand, but relying on the city defense, it should not be a big problem to defend for two or three days. What he needs to consider more now is how can he arrive at the battlefield within the expected time during tomorrow's march
This was originally a question that did not need to be considered. According to intelligence, all of Ma Long's troops were under Shawan Harbor, and it was impossible for any force to stop him halfway.
As for the possibility of a small group of troops intercepting, Dane didn't care at all: with the strength in Malone's hands, pulling all of them out might not be able to stop Dane!
Tactics such as ambush are not realistic. On the land of Schindler, the bare barren land is better than the Eastern Wilderness, but it is actually an endless area, and there is basically no complex terrain that can be used for ambushes.
What Dane was worried about was not Malone's obstruction. The source of his worry was the piece of information he had just received.
Beside the bonfire, the dancing flames made Dane's face very solemn. He threw the text message in his hand into the fire, and said: "This is a bit troublesome..."
"Then... what should we do?" It was Chapple who asked, and his face was also very serious.
The information Dane read just now was handed to him by Chapple himself. This is the news from Tiedinggang. The army stationed in Tiedinggang suddenly lost 3,000 people four days ago.
This is very important news.
Tiedinggang is not a very big place, as it was about twenty years ago, it was just a military outpost established by a small warlord, of course for the purpose of war. Later, both sides of the war perished with the passage of time, but this military outpost was not abandoned. Instead, it attracted many homeless people and gradually developed into a small town.
Today, Tiedinggang is already a small city with a population of 4,000 to 5,000. It can't be considered developed, but it can't be said to be poor.
And this city was ruled by a warlord named Haman before that, and in the past, he was a staunch supporter of Governor Bernier and a person who resolutely resisted Governor Conley.
At the same time, he was also one of the first small warlords to be dealt with by Conley. (To be continued.)
