Dane really couldn't do anything to the strong city of Cinderella. Even when he looked at the tall city wall and the complete city defense facilities, he didn't have the slightest desire to lead an army to attack.
In this way, of course, it is impossible to put any pressure on Kang Li. Kang Li wasn't frightened by others, so how could he panic immediately because Dane's troops were approaching the city? He was sitting firmly behind Cinderella's high wall, and he probably didn't feel even a little bit of panic—anyway, Dane couldn't get in.
Without putting pressure on Governor Conley, Dane's northward march would be meaningless. Harder understood this, and he thought Dane should understand this too. So, he sat firmly in the army, waiting for Dane's action.
However, when Dane parked his troops under the city of Cinderella for two days, but there was no movement at all, Harder couldn't sit still.
He went directly to Dane and probed his mouth. But Dane's mouth was very strict, and he didn't mean to reveal his thoughts in advance, he just said that he would have a way.
What can Harder do? He can only believe that Dane has a solution, and then sit in the army and worry.
However, Dane didn't let him worry for too long.
On December 1st, after Dane led the legion to defend the city of Cinderella for four days, he finally made a move.
This action is of course not a siege. In fact, Dane never had the idea of actively attacking Cinderella. And the reason why he stayed under Cinderella's city for so long was because he was waiting for his griffin to come back.
As early as before, after Dane led the legion and had just arrived at the city of Cinderella, all the thoughts about the capital city in his heart disappeared. After dispelling the idea of attacking Cinderella, he immediately dispatched the Griffin Squad to bypass Cinderella and head north all the way to scout and explore the road.
And the path explored by the Griffin is what Dane will take next. And the end point of this road is the largest city in the north, Chaos City!
According to the information shared by Governor Oze, when Governor Conley planned to transfer the two teams, one from the south and the other from the north, it could almost be considered that he had racked his brains and deployed troops everywhere. The greeting card Tim of Mihe City gathered 7,000 soldiers, and more than 40,000 soldiers for the Northern Army.
This, of course, comes at a price.
As Cinderella, who was drawn out of the force, it's okay to say. After all, Conley still left 5,000 troops in Cinderella. This amount of troops is already the most extreme force for suppressing an entire city with a population of 200,000 and an unknown number of them are his opponents. With the addition of himself and Arkadi, the two great warlocks staying behind, although the pressure will be slightly greater, it can barely be suppressed.
As for another city that has lost a lot of troops, it is also the place where Governor Kangli started his family, Lost City.
Confused City, at the beginning of the war, Kangli arranged for 5,000 soldiers to garrison it. But after several rounds of transfers, there were only less than 2,000 defenders who remained in that city.
The main reason why the troops in Lost City were so ruthless was, of course, that it was Kang Li's old lair and the place where he started. His power in the Lost City is very stable, and he doesn't need to have too many important figures in charge, nor does he need to leave too many soldiers to suppress him. In addition, from the perspective of Lost City, to the east is our Northern Army Group, to the south is Cinderella, to the west and north, mountains and forests are places that are not suitable for human habitation, nor are they suitable for large-scale marches. , there is also no threat.
There are safe places everywhere, and the frontline is short of troops, so where can we draw troops if we don't draw them from the confused city
And now, Dane is targeting the city.
He can't beat Cinderella, but he can go north, bypass that fortified city, go straight to Huanglong, and directly threaten Kangli's lair!
Cinderella, where 5,000 people are stationed, is not easy to chew on, but the Lost City, where only 2,000 people are stationed, can't stop Dane's soldiers!
Of course, as the largest city in the north, Chaos City has very complete city defense facilities, which cannot be compared with a small city like Mihe, but it is still not comparable to a city like Cinderella, whose city defense facilities can be called a super fortress. .
In fact, if there are still 5,000 people guarding the Lost City, Dane would not consider raiding that city. However, who said that there is no Lost City
Dane didn't believe that Conley could remain indifferent to him doing this!
…
Indeed, as Dane thought, it was impossible for Conley to be indifferent to this. In fact, when he, who was sitting in Cinderella's hall, heard the news that Dane had suddenly led his troops northward, his face became so dark that it could drip water.
"Janis is such a disappointment," said Arkady Warlock, who was sitting across from Conley. "Her visit is totally meaningless."
Conley frowned, and his fair face was slightly angry: "Arkadian warlock, pay attention to your tone, are you accusing me of making a wrong decision?"
A big bald head shook, and Arkady said, "Master Kangli, there are only two of us here."
Governor Kangli began to rub the huge scarlet gemstone on his left middle finger, and said indifferently, "Then you can talk to me like this?"
"I don't intend to be disrespectful to you. If my words make you feel uncomfortable, I apologize to you." Arkady said apologetic words, but from the expression on his face, he knew how insincere the words were— He had no sincerity at all.
After a moment of silence, Arkady continued: "When the church asked us to come to Schindler, it meant that you were the master and I was the second. But this does not mean that you can decide everything, don't treat me as The supervisor doesn't take it seriously. I believe that the high-level church has given us so much support in the hope that we can make some achievements in this barbaric land of Schindler. If you let the church down , you should know how miserable our end will be."
"I don't need you to tell me!" Conley scolded Arkady, the corners of his mouth twitching because of the suppressed anger in his heart.
Arkady completely ignored Conley's expression, and said to himself: "I have already said that the strategy proposed by those three idiots, Hackett, Galvin and Anders, is too radical, but you didn't Follow my advice and go your own way, which has led to the current result. I don’t want to be dragged down by you when the church punishes you.” (To be continued.)
