The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 315's

"Oh? You vetoed that? "Linley looked at Watts.

He felt that the advice was somewhat reasonable. When the enemy forces were in chaos, a sudden attack could definitely give the bloody troops of the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows.

Watts said respectfully, "Mr Linley, the reason I vetoed this conquest has three parts to it. ”

Three parts?

Linley had to admit that he didn't know much about the war, and so he carefully listened to Watts' explanation.

“First of all, the chances of success are not high, because there is a distance of several dozen kilometers from the prefecture city of Cod to the river. If we send our troops, by the time they arrive, the enemy forces will number over a million, and the disposition of the troops will be reformed again. ”

Barker shook his head. “For a million soldiers to set up their formation and be ready to fight is not something that is done easily. ”

Watts nodded. “It was true. I'm just saying that the enemy forces will be ready for battle. We only have half a million soldiers. How much can we send on a sneak attack? And this is just the first consideration. The second is ... I believe that the commanders of the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows will not make such fundamental mistakes. ”

"If I were commander of the enemy army …"

Watts smiled. "First of all I will have my most elite soldiers cross the river, then put on masks in a state of chaos on the other side to lure the enemy to attack. When the enemy actually came to attack, the elite forces would immediately give an attack that caused a headache to them. ”

"It must be understood that our greatest support is the city wall!" Watts said seriously. “With the city walls, we can kill all three of them for every person they kill. Therefore, they want to persuade us to fight with them on a flat playing field. ”

Linley nodded in agreement.

Watts continued, “As for the third reason, it is because in warfare, tactics are less important than strategy. Our goal is to keep the enemy outside and not let them break into the city. This is the most important thing. As long as we succeed, then this battle will be our victory. ”

“Therefore, there is no need for us to pay attention to the 'weakness' of the enemy. Who knows if the flaws are real or not? ”

Watts laughed calmly. “What we need to do is just stay inside the Cod prefecture city and rely on the wall advantage just in case. Unless something happens beyond our expectations, victory will be ours. ”

Night passed. The day slowly became bright.

The Darkness Cardinal, Weiss Porter, rode on the dark element demon tiger as he gazed towards the prefecture city of Cod.

“Guillermo, I feel like this is going to be a very tough fight. "Say Weiss Porter with a frown. “We have slowed down the speed of our troops crossing the river, and also put our troops in a state of chaos. "But the prefecture city of Cod acted as if they were not paying attention. They did not send anyone to attack. ”

Guillermo.

They had prepared a 'welcome party' for the enemies, but unfortunately, the plan failed.

Right now, the entire army had crossed the river and rested all night. They now continued to advance towards the prefecture city of Cod. Their total troops numbered 1.6 million soldiers. Such an enormous army covered the entire area like endless waves.

"I'm not afraid that general Linley is intelligent or cunning. What I was afraid of was that he would just hide in the city like a turtle in his shell. "Say Weiss Porter.

Guillermo nodded as well.

If the opponent relied on the superiority of the city wall, breaking through the prefecture-level city of Cod would most likely cause great losses on their side. Even though they had 1.6 million soldiers, they were unwilling to waste too many lives.

“Weiss Porter. "Kata Guillermo's. "Then what should we do?"

The generals leading this battle were of course Guillermo and Weiss Porter. In terms of tactics, Guillermo was inferior to Weiss Porter. Weiss laughed calmly. “Nothing for us. Now, let's test the enemy's strength. ”

Only when one knows the opponent and knows oneself is capable of winning.

The entire prefecture city of Cod had been transformed into an enormous military fortress. Civilians have been displaced for a long time, and most of the houses have been renovated and demolished. Tunnels and holes have been dug. A large number of soldiers crowded the eastern city walls and the southern city. However, on the west and north sides, there were fewer soldiers.

All kinds of weapons have been dragged into the city walls.

Linley and Barker were wearing armor, pretending to be military officers conducting inspections on the south wall. The city walls were a hotbed of activity, and the multi-kilometer long walls were filled with people. There were over a hundred thousand people on the south side walls of the city alone.

"So many people . "Linley and Barker stared from afar.

They look like solid grasshoppers. 1. 6 million male soldiers from the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows covered the ground, flowing towards the prefecture city of Cod. 1. 6 million people! A figure that is easy to say, but when so many soldiers come attacking …

That's scary!

Even Linley felt an incredible feeling of pressure.

“Who knows how many people will die as a result of this battle. "Barker sighed.

Gazing at the dense mass of soldiers, Linley also felt that this battle would definitely be a vicious, ruthless one. But since human society began, wars have also existed.

Although Linley and his men could see the power of the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows, in reality, those soldiers were still quite a distance away.

It was just that, because the enemy troops were too large in number, the soldiers on the walls could see them from far, far away.

“Let's go to Watts. He is our general commander. We can't let anything happen to him. "Linley led Barker to the southern city wall. Watts is currently in a small, mediocre building in the southern city.

Seeing Linley and Barker, Watts immediately bowed.

"Watts, Lord Linley and I have come to protect you. "Barker laughs.

No matter how stable Watt was, normally, he grew excited now. Linley laughed. "Enough . Focus on preparing for the enemy. What is your strategy for dealing with a million male soldiers? "Linley personally felt lost.

"What do you think they'll do for their attack?" Ask Barker.

“After they crossed the river, they did not rush to attack. Instead, they let their soldiers rest and wait for dawn. I hope ...in about an hour, they will reach the city. During the day, they would start their first wave of attacks. “Watts laughs quietly.

“The first wave should not be too strong. They will only test our strength. How do you plan to respond? "Ask Barker.

“Meriam Magicite. ”

Watts answered.

"You're going to use magicite cannons soon?" Barker frowned. Magicite cannons were their secret weapons. It should be better to use it at critical times. Watts said with certainty, “Master Grand Marshall, don't worry. Just watch and enjoy. When the time comes, you will understand. ”

"You're on mysterious airs in front of me?" Barker shook his head and laughed.

Linley just sat there to one side quietly. All he had to do was hand over the affairs of running this battle to these people. A long time later .. Linley suddenly opened his eyes and said to Watts, "Start preparing. The Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows had sent their vanguard to prepare for their attack. ”

Watts looked at Linley in surprise.

Linley did not explain too much. Although he did not use his spiritual energy, given Linley's insight into the Elemental Laws of the Wind, even from kilometers away, Linley could clearly sense everything that was happening if he chose so.

"My lord, two enemy troops have begun to attack towards our gates. ”A military officer suddenly ran in.

Although the city walls were tens of kilometers long, the attacks would generally be centered around the city gates.

Watts glanced at Linley, then immediately started issuing orders. “Company our initial plan. Prepare ten magicite cannons. Give our guests a 'welcome gift'. "Watts chuckled, and the military officer's eyes had a hint of excitement in them. "Yes, sir. ”

"Come, let's go watch. "Linley stood.

On the city wall, Linley and Barker stared down. They saw two legions with a large number of people advancing forward. Compared to an army of 1.6 million, 40,000 soldiers were not many, but when they attacked, they still felt like waves of human attackers.

"Kill!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers below raised their shields, storming the city gates with their weapons in hand. Their roars of anger sounded like thunderbolts. A number of soldiers charged forward while carrying a massive escalade, while in their hearts, they were nervously shot by the army arrows on the wall.

But to their surprise, no arrows were fired.

"Fire!" Angry roar.

The marks on the ten magicite cannons instantly lit up, and a terrifying amount of elemental essence began to surround them. Suddenly, the magicite cannon let out a terrifying and ferocious roar when ten light explosions suddenly struck the enemy legion.

"Magicite Cannon!" A voice of fear could be heard.

One of the fireballs landed right in the middle of the legion, and the people near the fireball instantly turned into charcoal. When the fireball hit the ground, it instantly turned into a flaming ring of fire that began to expand like water ripples in all directions. All the soldiers who were touched by the ring of fire started screaming in pain as they were burned alive.

Fire style magic: Blazing Rings of Fire!

With one explosion, a hundred people were killed.

One of the other balls of light, which was bluish-white, fell into the legion as well, and the soldiers in the surrounding area instantly froze, then shattered into pieces. This ball of bluish-white light exploded explosively, turning into millions of terrifying projectile attacks that shot out in all directions. "Desire!" Many soldiers were struck by this flying shard, and many people started to shout misery from the explosion.

Water style magic: Angry Sea of Arrow Rain!

Different types of magicite cannons will use different types of magicite gems and produce different types of attacks. But without question, this single barrage of ten magicite cannons caused over a thousand deaths and even more injuries.

But then, the magicite cannon lit up again.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Almost at the same time, the magicite cannon attacked again. Enemies were burned to death, shot to death by freezing debris, eaten by locusts, or electrocuted to death by lightning, they represent the apocalypse.

Weiss Porter and Guillermo.

"Lords. ”A military officer salutes when he makes a report. "The two legions that launched the first wave of attacks against the south gate had retreated, and the legions at the east gate had also retreated. We found that at the south gate, ten magicite cannons had been placed, while five had been placed at the east gate. These magicite cannons were all large caliber cannons at the magi level of the eighth rank. ”

Guillermo gave a cold snort. “This is what I fear, that they will have magicite cannons. So they really have it, and that is of great caliber. Who sold it to them? "

Weiss Porter laughed calmly. “That's not the case now. The possession of their magicite cannons is in our prediction. However, since they only have five at the east gate, then ... tomorrow, let's make a full attack. ”

"Full attack?" Guillermo looked at Weiss Porter.

Weiss Porter nodded. "really. We will pretend to focus on the south gate while sending a small portion of our troops to attack the east gate, but a small portion that attacks the east gate will consist of our elite troops. "Weiss Porter said firmly.

"Weiss Porter, what's your intention?" Guillermo. "To focus our attack on the east gate?"

The strength ratio does not determine how strong each strength is. If the soldiers were elite, a hundred thousand of them might be able to defeat the strength of four hundred thousand ordinary soldiers.

“True it's wrong, wrong it's true. We are only deceiving our enemies. If a hundred thousand elite soldiers suddenly attacked at once, if the east gate was not fully prepared, we might be able to break through with a single blow. ”Weiss Porter said confidently.

Guillermo laughing. “If I was the enemy commander, when I saw your million soldiers outside the south gate while only a hundred thousand were at the east gate, I would probably focus my attention on the south gate as well. ”
