Chapter 225 Dragon Knight (?)
Norton explained unhurriedly: "Don't overestimate the enemy, and don't underestimate your own capabilities. They can't crack our decision in a short time, and they can be caught off guard if they act fast enough."

[Obviously, this is a military adventure, and our chances of winning are not great. 】

"Then there is a chance of winning, isn't it? Steady and steady is the best solution for the dominant side, and the capital in our hands is not so much. The more we delay, the worse it will be."

Tang Zhao was directly influenced by the dwarves. His thinking in this regard tends to be conservative. After all, neither the dwarves nor he can afford to lose. Compared to humans, they can't afford any losses. He must be used to choosing conservative plans.

[The risk is not small, but this matter is up to you to decide. I can only guarantee that I will fight hard. 】

"Of course. After all, this is our war and not yours. Besides courage, we also have other preparations. You will know when the time is right."

Norton left a suspenseful question. Tang Zhao was quite curious about it, but he didn't ask the question to the end. Anyway, he will know soon. After everyone tidied up, they began to prepare to leave and implement the plan.

……

The news of the army's appearance in Driftwood Town can't be hidden for too long. Thanks to supernatural products such as magic and flying beasts, although the world is still largely in a feudal society, information transmission is much faster than in ordinary feudal society. The eldest prince and The second prince got the news very quickly, but there was no such efficient means of transportation as the railway, and he didn't know where Norton was going to attack, so he didn't make any big moves yet, but took a safe precaution as everyone expected. The method is to increase troops to the land border and temporarily delay the opponent's pace. It is never expected that the opponent still has surface troops to transport troops.

Two days later, a large number of heavily armed warships appeared along the coast of Yintao City. There were still a small number of sahuagin near the coast. port.

There were always soldiers guarding the murlocs at the port, and they soon noticed the approach of the fleet, but seeing that the lion flag of the royal family was hanging on it, they didn't dare to do anything directly, but sent two small boats to check the situation.

Norton, as one of the potential heirs of the family, still has a certain reputation within the system of the Castell family. The port officer didn't dare to stop him after seeing him. Although he didn't know the origin of these warships, he For him, the risk of offending the Duke's children is also great.

The warship docked and landed, and heavily armed soldiers swarmed out, immediately controlling the few port guards. A few people were still ready to resist, but an unspeakable pressure from above filled everyone's hearts in an instant, and their legs directly It went limp and was controlled by the soldiers who rushed to it.

Tang Zhao, who was watching the situation on the mast, stared at the huge dragon in the sky. The dark green scales and distinctive dragon horn shape showed its identity. This is a green dragon, strictly speaking. It is considered a five-color dragon, and does not belong to the existence of the order camp.

The green dragon landed quickly after that, squatting obediently behind Norton, showing his identity and position.

【Interesting…】

Thinking about this behavior carefully, Tang Zhao can probably understand the other party's purpose──It is nothing more than money, and the Dragon Clan itself is greedy for money, such examples are not rare.

There are many young or just adult dragons who have not accumulated much wealth and will choose to become the mounts of great nobles or magicians. As long as you choose your target and don't choose those old monsters, a person's life can only last a hundred years at best. For the longevity species, it means "a period of time". After the master dies, the dragon will take a large sum of money from the inheritance, or simply swallow the entire inheritance by itself as its "commission" for this period of time.

Norton probably used similar conditions to find a young dragon to work for him. This dragon was obviously not as strong and as strong as the blue dragon he had seen before. Tang Zhao didn't feel much pressure. Is an opponent that I can touch,

Of course, Tang Zhao didn't want to provoke the giant dragon either. He lived a long life and held grudges. Even if he was lucky enough to kill the opponent once, he might be sought revenge for various reasons. It is a better choice to keep a distance from the opponent, especially for the five-color dragon. Even more so.

After taking control of the harbor, Norton took the green dragon and marched into the consul's palace without hesitation. Because Tang Zhao not only knew the consul here, but also had a lot of contacts with them, he didn't go, but chose to help the soldiers seize the city wall.

His method is to use psychic energy to directly knock out the defenders on the city wall. Although it looks a little scary, it is actually softer. If ordinary soldiers capture the city, the defenders will definitely try to resist, and street fighting will be very troublesome.

The only effective resistance came from the officer at the gate. This was a Tier [-] warrior. After beheading five or six warriors, he was pinned down by Tang Zhao with his claws, and then passed out. effective resistance.

This is the rear of the battle line, and the elite have basically been transferred away, leaving only some second-line troops to guard against the murlocs in the sea and maintain law and order, which is much worse than the carefully selected elite soldiers, let alone Talk about the huge difference in high-level combat effectiveness between the two sides.

Both Norton and Tang Zhao went smoothly, and the situation in Yintao City was basically stabilized that day, and Norton also used coercion and lure to recruit nearly a thousand soldiers from the defenders. These people themselves were Cass It wasn't particularly difficult for him to command the private soldiers of the Deyi family. Of course, he couldn't expect them to fight any tough battles, so they just put on a show.

Driving the warship moored in Yintao City, together with the original fleet, a group of people went upstream mightily, encountered some obstacles along the way, but they were easily broken through by the soldiers. After several days of sailing, they came to A town near the capital.

The confrontation between the two parties was in the south of the capital, and the town that Norton captured was in the north of the capital. The three parties confronted each other, but in reality, Norton's troops were not strong enough to confront the other two. Neither Rudolph nor Kane knew yet.

Therefore, although they were wary of Norton, they didn't take it too seriously. They only regarded him as a target that could be wooed, especially Rudolph, who was originally in a state of hostility with the Castei family. In his opinion, he was inclined towards himself, so he sent an envoy to him for a secret talk that night.

However, Norton did not agree. He just entertained the envoy well, showing an ambiguous attitude that was close to a bargain, which gave Rudolph the illusion that this was enough.

Norton arranged most of the things that night, and then began to wait for the opportunity. After Kane and Rudolph's troops made tentative attacks during the day, he believed that the time was right to launch a night attack.
