About two weeks later, the Wolf family's vanguard finally arrived at the outskirts of Innsbruck.
"Sure enough, the trenches have been dug." Viscount Heinrich said, looking at the position in the distance.
Since escaping from the Black Death last time, he went all the way south through the Free Territory of Verona, and then when he entered the border of Lombardy, he met the Wolf family army that was preparing to invade.
Then he was arrested as a matter of course.
As the only one who came back alive from the diplomatic mission, the army believed that he had valuable intelligence about Bavaria and forcibly recruited him to fight in the army for this reason.
Heinrich was helpless about this, because the military commander leading the team this time was none other than the demigod Alberto of the Wolf family, nicknamed "The Hidden String".
It is said that the level of this Lord Hidden String is about Lv.20-25, which is considered to be a relatively weak level among demigods. However, no matter how weak a demigod is, it is still a demigod. At least it is absolutely no problem for him to destroy the city of Innsbruck with one slap.
Of course, considering that the current magic tide level cap is only Lv.10, after launching this slap that destroys the city, the demigod himself will most likely lose control of his spirit and die. Therefore, the garrison of His Excellency the Hidden String is more to play a role in stabilizing morale, and he will most likely not directly participate in the battle.
This did not prevent Heinrich from trying to curry his favor.
"The one guarding Innsbruck now should be Count Sigmund of Tyrol," Heinrich said attentively. "He is an old-school nobleman with a straight-forward and stubborn character who is not easily subdued. However, he has military experience in his early years and is not a novice in warfare. Please pay more attention to him, Lord Hidden String."
"Yeah." Alberto pinched his mustache and said, "The enemy dug so many trenches. It's obvious that they want to use Innsbruck as a nail to drive our march north."
"Yes." Heinrich flattered, "Your Excellency, your opinion is good. From here to the north is the Jachenau Mountains. We need to cross the valleys at the foot of the Alps to reach Mingxing City, and the supply line into the mountains will inevitably be very long."
"If we fail to resolve Innsbruck and choose to bypass them and continue north, they can send troops to cut off our supply lines in the rear at any time. Therefore, this thorn must be removed."
"I'm afraid it's not easy to pull out." Alberto sneered, "The other party is obviously well prepared. That Lord of Filth... Why didn't he destroy Innsbruck before?"
Heinrich complained in his heart, you didn't tell me about the Lord of Filth before I went on the mission, and now you are asking me about his situation, how should I know
He bowed his head deeply and said respectfully, "The Lord of Filth once spread a large number of rats and diseases in the city. As for why the city was not destroyed, I don't know."
"After all, he was born in a pure-blood monastic order and is used to being arrogant. I thought he was a rare rational Lord of Filth because he spoke in an orderly manner. Now it seems that he is just an arrogant lunatic." Alberto thought for a while. "In any case, it is a fact that Innsbruck City suffered a heavy blow. Otherwise, it would not be possible to adopt a passive and defensive posture."
