Compared with the doubts in his heart, Sharon Linur, the commander of the Greedy Wolf Legion, was more worried about the upcoming battle.
According to the super combat effectiveness demonstrated by the Lampali Kingdom's Northern Army, as long as they continue to pursue victory, Sharon Linur has no confidence that the Greedy Wolf Legion can withstand the opponent's fierce offensive.
Even with the help of the Tiger Legion, it might be a problem.
Fortunately, in the town of Lampali Kingdom, the Northern Army re-seized control of the entire Murto Mountains and forced all the Greedy Wolf Legion and Tiger Legion back until they were forced to retreat ten kilometers away from the Murto Mountains. After the local defenses were rebuilt, the Zhenbei Army suddenly slowed down its offensive. Instead of continuing to invade the Kingdom of Sac's territory in the north of the Murto Mountains, it began to rebuild its positions on the Murto Mountains and put on a Beware of a defensive posture.
According to the analysis of Army Chief of Staff Aiwe João, this should be because the Lampali Kingdom's Northern Army was afraid of going too deep into the territory of the Kingdom of Sak, and would be swallowed up by the superior forces assembled by the Kingdom of Sak because it penetrated so far alone. Stabilize yourself first.
Another possibility is that the reason why the Lampali Kingdom was able to carry out such a fierce offensive before was also a desperate all-out counterattack against the Sak Kingdom's previous actions.
With the national power of the Lampali Kingdom, they suddenly produced so many armors and weapons to equip the Zhenbei Army, and they also equipped them with so many arrows that they could be released for free. In addition, the power of the three units was surprisingly powerful, and it was simply beyond the control. The trebuchet of Sharon Linur and Avi Joao must have mobilized almost all the power in the kingdom.
This kind of terrifying consumption may continue for one or two battles, which is fine, but if it continues for a long time, not to mention the Lampali Kingdom, which has always been relatively poor among the surrounding kingdoms, even the relatively stronger Sasha The Kingdom of Ke will definitely not be able to sustain it for long.
So after Sharon Linur and Aiwei Joao discussed it, they even began to consider launching a counterattack.
Although the Zhenbei Army has now occupied the advantageous terrain, the counterattack will cause the Greedy Wolf Army to suffer huge losses, but if the army of the Kingdom of Lampali is allowed to control the Muerto Mountains, then the entire southern territory of the Kingdom of Sac will be almost equivalent to nothing. Put a fortified position in front of the opponent.
If the Lampali Kingdom's Northern Army invades the Sak Kingdom desperately. If it causes turmoil, Sharon Linur himself will want to commit suicide by wiping his neck without waiting for the military department to hold him accountable.
However, under Aiwei Joao's persuasion, Sharon Linur finally gave up the idea of counterattack for the time being.
"We'd better not act rashly before we know the other side's true and falsehoods. The Military Staff Office has noticed this special situation. I think it won't be long before the Intelligence Department will receive corresponding news. When we know the exact situation, After the situation, it will not be too late for us to make a decision.”
Having worked with Avi João for more than ten years, Sharon Linur had great trust in his judgment, so he suppressed the idea of counterattack and began to wait patiently.
And the Zhenbei Army, just as Aiwei Joao guessed, has never continued its offensive.
So after three months of frequent fighting and several reversals of the situation, both sides experienced a very strange period of peace.
When it entered mid-August, a military envoy sent from Talen City, the capital of the Sac Kingdom, came to the Greedy Wolf Legion's camp not far from the Muerto Mountains.
This messenger not only brought orders from the military headquarters. He also brought an intelligence document sent by the Military Staff Office.
The order requires the Greedy Wolf Legion not to act rashly, to temporarily give up the idea of counterattack, and to defend the southern border of the kingdom.
As for this intelligence document, it describes the reason why the northern army of the Lampali Kingdom experienced such a drastic change in equipment.
After reading the intelligence documents, Sharon Linur looked in disbelief. João said to Aiwei in shock: "This is a joke! Aiwei, can you believe it? We were not defeated by the Lampali Kingdom's Northern Army, but by a person who didn't even have a name in the Lampali Kingdom." I heard that the small chamber of commerce was defeated!”
"What's going on?" Aiwei João took the intelligence document and looked at it carefully.
After reading it word for word, Aiwei João pondered for a moment. Although the expression on his face was a little incredible, it was more of worry.
"If what this intelligence says is true, then our situation may become very bad in the future. Think about it. If the guys from the Northern Army of Lampali Kingdom no longer worry about weapons and equipment, They even have many times more arrows than us, and coupled with those terrifying magic trebuchets, what ability do we have to compete with them?"
The expression on Sharon Linur's face instantly became heavy. He took the intelligence document and read it carefully, frowning deeply.
"If the previous offensive of the Zhenbei Army guys can be maintained, the brothers will indeed be unstoppable. Could it be that...our Sak Kingdom will be counterattacked by the Lampali Kingdom?"
"It's not impossible." Aiwei Joao said solemnly. "If our weapons and equipment cannot keep up, then this will not be your guess, but will become a fact."
"But we don't have this damn New Flying Chamber of Commerce in our kingdom!" Sharon Linur spat on the ground viciously, then made a cutting gesture with his hands on his neck. "Since the intelligence says that the core figure of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is their president, that guy named Xu. Then in order for him and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to no longer help the army of the Lampali Kingdom, why not just kill that guy named Xu? It can be done.”
"If it is possible, do you think the General Staff Office will not do it?" Aiwei Joao said with a bitter smile. "If we could easily kill someone as important to the Lampali Kingdom, the Lampali Kingdom would have been destroyed by us long ago."
"Then what should we do? We are watching the Zhenbei Army getting stronger and stronger. Is it best to kill us all?"
"Don't worry, since the Intelligence Agency has found out this information, they will definitely take corresponding actions." Aiwei Joao patted Sharon Linur on the shoulder and comforted: "And the information doesn't say Well, these stupid Lampali people actually cut off their own limbs and kept suppressing the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. No wonder the Zhenbei Army's offensive stopped after that. Without the support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Zhenbei Army would not have been possible. It can also guarantee the supply of such powerful equipment.”
"Hey, these Lampali people are really stupid. If we have such a new Flying Chamber of Commerce in the Sark Kingdom, it would be strange to treat it like a treasure. It doesn't matter if these Lampali people don't support it. They are still suppressing them everywhere. I really don’t know if they are just pretending to be stupid.” Sharon Li Nuer said with a sense of gloating.
"No matter what, they gave us enough time to react." Aiwei Joao smiled and said: "Believe me, with the capabilities of the General Staff Office, we will definitely be able to do something beneficial to us."
Sharon Linur snorted softly: "I don't like the way the guys in the General Staff Office do things. It's too insidious and despicable."
"No matter what the means. As long as it can help us." Aiwei Joao smiled slightly and said: "I just hope that guy named Xu Yi won't be too difficult to deal with."

When the two giants of the Greedy Wolf Legion were analyzing and discussing a piece of intelligence, on a hilltop in the Muerto Mountains ten kilometers away from them, Leslie Stark, the captain of the fifth team of the third brigade of the Zhenbei Army, But he was frowning and studying an instrument that looked a bit like a bow and arrow, but its actual appearance and operation methods were completely different.
After picking it up and playing with it for a while, Viscount Leslie still couldn't understand the principle of this thing, so he had to ask the Zhenbei Army quartermaster who sent a batch of weapons and equipment: "How does this thing work?"
The pudgy quartermaster showed a flattering smile, took out a piece of paper from the wooden box in which the weapons were transported, and handed it to Viscount Leslie.
"Lord Viscount, look, this is the operation diagram of this magic repeating crossbow. I think with your intelligence, you only need to read it once to understand the operation method."
"Is it that simple?" Viscount Leslie took the schematic diagram and looked at it doubtfully. He found that there were several operating steps drawn on the schematic diagram. It was indeed very simple and clear.
After looking at it carefully twice, Viscount Leslie picked up a magic repeating crossbow and took out one about half a meter long from the wooden box. The diameter of the cylinder is about twenty centimeters. I weighed it in my hand and found that it was about five kilograms. According to the first step on the operation diagram, install the cylinder in the launcher under the magic repeating crossbow.
After confirming that the cylinder was installed, Viscount Leslie raised the magic repeater with both hands and aimed at a tree about twenty meters away from him. Gently press an operating button on the magic repeater.
"Whoosh—"
Accompanied by a loud explosion, a feather arrow made a rapid sound of breaking through the air, and hit the tree instantly when Viscount Leslie could only see a shadow.
Viscount Leslie looked over, and with the powerful combat power of his fifth-level warrior, he could clearly see that more than half of the feather arrow was deeply embedded in the trunk of the tree.
"It's actually so powerful?" Viscount Leslie couldn't help being surprised.
Although he is from the Stark family. However, he received an extremely strict education since childhood, coupled with his extraordinary talent, which made him extremely good at riding and shooting.
But he knew very well that even if he held the special elf longbow collected by his family, he would never be able to shoot an arrow. This amazing effect can be achieved.
Thinking of the instructions on the operation diagram just now, Viscount Leslie raised the magic repeating crossbow again, pointed it at the big tree, and pressed another button.
"Swish, swish, swish—"
A series of sounds pierced the air quickly, and then a muffled sound of "tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk" was heard.
The total fifty arrows in the quiver were all shot out in less than five breaths, and they all shot deeply into the trunk of the big tree.
By the time the last arrow was shot, the dense arrows had penetrated the entire middle of the tree trunk. With the powerful impact brought by the last few arrows, the entire tree squeaked and was directly disconnected from the middle. The upper half fell to the ground with a bang, sending dust all over the sky.
Viscount Leslie looked at the terrifying scene in front of him in astonishment, then looked down at the magic repeating crossbow in his hand. He couldn't help but curse in a low voice, shook his head and sighed softly: "This Xu Yi can actually develop such a terrifying weapon." Magical machinery. It looks like...the grandsons of the Sark Kingdom are going to be in bad luck."
