Chapter 208 Meeting and New Task
It is said that he is leading the troops to meet Lin En and others, but the things that Tang Zhao needs to deal with are actually not complicated. His position is probably a senior guard and a combat staff officer in a certain sense. In terms of actual command, Nairn's side is natural Someone would handle it, and while they lacked particularly capable military officers, there were plenty who could handle such a thing, and no one knew the Nirn army better than the Nirn themselves.

From Deep Water City to Lynn's side for support, the straight-line distance between the two places is about [-] to [-] kilometers, which is not that far from a modern perspective, but it can't be said to be close in ancient times, passing through many towns along the way, Tang Zhao I took this opportunity to take a good look at the general situation of the surrounding villages, and the result was somewhat unexpected—basically, it was completely empty, with no one left.

The people of Kolo like to study "uncanny skills" such as necromancy, and the social environment is very cruel in this world, and the serf system is still prevalent. Even apprentices who are talented in learning magic can die It makes the Spartan soldiers feel ashamed, it is really a good place to live.

Under such circumstances, Tang Zhao did not find many people in the nearby villages. It is said that many people were evacuated to the border of Nairn by Lin En before.

As an aristocrat in a feudal society, Lynn attaches great importance to population. After all, population still represents soldiers, cultivated land and labor force, and plays a very important role in any era. These people will eventually be brought back to his territory by him, adding population.

There must be many spies and eyeliners of the Koluo people among these people. Lin En is also somewhat prepared for this. He assured Tang Zhao that these people will not cause any trouble in the future. A lot of preparations have been made for this war, so nothing should go wrong.

After all, the distance between the two places is very close, and Tang Zhao arrived near where Lin En's army was stationed the next day.

The main stronghold that Lynn chose was a castle of the magician of Colo, which was incomparable to the magnificent pass that was called a spectacle by the dwarves. It was just an ordinary noble castle.

Inside the castle, there are a few elite troops, commanding agencies, and important supply units. Outside the castle, there are stretches of tents and simple fortifications, which look quite decent.

In contrast, a few hundred meters across a small river several meters wide is an outpost set up by the Kolo people. The two sides are now confronting each other across the river, and the atmosphere is tense.

The two sides have engaged in several small-scale firefights, with a lot of losses. Lynn's elite vulture knights and magicians have lost more than one-third, and the offensive momentum has been abruptly curbed. able to move forward.

After a simple handover and identity confirmation, Tang Zhao successfully met Lin En in the castle.

"I'll make a long story short, what about the situation of the soldiers and supplies?"

"For me personally, I can still withstand three or two more large-scale charges, and then it will be very difficult to sustain both morale and supplies."

"Your king sent another two thousand elite fighters. With these people as supplements, we should be able to do more things."

"The attendants of His Majesty have told me about the general situation before, but can I trouble you with one more thing?"

"Just to put it bluntly, I will measure for myself. But from my point of view, everything I should have done has been done."

Originally, Tang Zhao’s position for himself was just to be a bodyguard who would decorate the appearance. It’s okay to do battles occasionally. He didn’t want to be too tied to the people of this country and offend those gloomy magicians too deeply. Not good for his domain or for himself.

If someone really hates him, the trouble a high-level magician can cause is astonishing. To be honest, Tang Zhao has no particularly good countermeasures for this. The best way is to try not to be remembered .

"I'm willing to exchange gold and Nirn's magic technology for help, how about that?"

Lynn beckoned to the subordinates around him, and the other party immediately brought up a delicate and simple wooden box with great interest, opened the box to observe, and there were full of gold coins lying inside.

It is not the official currency minted by the Nirn people, nor is it something minted by a prosperous commercial city-state, but the old-fashioned elven currency that is serious. The high-purity gold coins minted during the prosperous period of the elves can actually be treated as antiques , the exchange rate with ordinary gold coins fluctuates at least around one to three.

A box that looks inconspicuous actually has a lot of money. At least in normal times, it is easy to hire an elite centurion capable of fighting and multiple high-level spellcasters.

However, Tang Zhao is not short of money, and is obviously more concerned about the magic technology that the other party said: "To be specific, what can you provide?"

"The puppet making technology I have mastered can be handed over to you, it should be sincere enough."

In order to make up for the lack of population, the Nirn people chose to develop alchemy puppets. Today, alchemy puppets can do a lot of simple manual labor. Apart from the exaggerated high cost, it is still a very good tool.

Unlike undead creatures and living slaves, alchemy puppets are not really a hot topic in the mainland, only a few scattered mages are studying them. In this case, apart from those ancient lost advanced technologies, Nairn has already mastered first-class level of technology.

Tang Zhao is very clear that this is Lin En showing favor to him or the forces behind him, or he may want to use this method to strengthen the strength of the elves or Karak Solma, on the one hand, it can be used as a restraining force Dealing with the Kolo people, on the other hand, can prevent the hobgoblins in the north and the humans in the kingdoms of Oran in the east from spying on them.

"I understand. Tell me what you need to do, and I will think about it carefully."

"The kind of thing you are best at, creating chaos in the opponent's camp so that we can take advantage of it and cross the river to attack the position."

"It's not difficult to do, it's acceptable. But you need to tell me in advance, what is our purpose?"

"It's not to occupy the opponent's capital. Just kill the army in front of you together with the high-level spellcaster. This army is directly under the parliament. As long as you kill these guys, the balance of power behind the opponent will be broken. When the time comes It’s easy to do things.”

As a spellcaster, Lin En is actually very clear that in the face of these high-level spellcasters, it may even be more difficult to let them die completely than to resurrect them to cheat corpses. The best way is not to kill or subdue them, It would be a good idea to get their attention and keep them busy internally, which is exactly what he intended.

After thinking about it, Tang Zhao agreed to come down and rest for one night. The next day, he left the castle with dozens of soldiers, planning to sneak across the river to carry out sabotage.
