.Chapter 981 Slow is better than fast

"He already intends to sell." After returning to the simple barracks outside the simple town, Grimm reported today's progress to Dong Hezi: "But the two of them are too young, and I guess they really don't know the real core secret .One piece of accurate news will give hundreds of gold, and the price is too high."

Dong Hezi shook his head and said: "Some things, if people don't tell you, you may not know for the rest of your life. Besides, I don't want to get too stiff with Gang Xinliu, and I can kill two birds with one stone with a little more money. It's still very good. You Stay with them for a few more days and try to get some news back. I will arrange some old servants to serve on the Viscountess' side."

Grimm's face flushed slightly, and he was about to leave when he suddenly remembered an important thing: "You seem to have forgotten someone—didn't there be a female bodyguard hired temporarily a few days ago? You said she There are signs of demonization, it is a research sample. Why haven't I seen this 'sample' these days? Did she run away secretly?"

Dong Hezi calmly replied: "You still think about her? But she has too many past memories and too many goals in her heart, and she doesn't want to play with you now-she didn't run away, but left me I didn’t leave until after the next letter, and went to catch up with the army going north. I heard that she still has important things to do in the army.”

At this time, the army going north was approaching the mountainside town where the female rebels were entrenched, and stationed on the hill more than ten miles away. On the outside, there were a dozen giant stone statues and small bunkers tightly surrounding the barracks to protect everyone; The fire-breathing and projectile vehicles that had been packed up were neatly placed, guarded by elite arcane soldiers, so as not to be attacked and burned again.And the golden and shining mechanical "Phoenix" as high as several floors is surrounded by layers of barracks and mage refuge huts like a white bird facing a phoenix. It is like a magnificent golden mountain emitting solemn wealth and majesty in the setting sun. breath, accepting the worship of countless pilgrims

But the problem is that the untouchable Arcanist who has been worshiped is very depressed now, because his vanguard officials and local officials are like beggars dressed in rags and disheveled, kneeling in front of him crying and complaining: " The female thief has already received assistance from the barbarian kingdoms in the east! Not only is she equipped with a special alloy crossbow made by the dwarves, she is also supported by priests from the Church of the Earth Mother, and some mountain giants and cyclops are involved, throwing spears and heavy crossbows at us, We have killed a lot of our mage troops, so we are powerless to fight them head-on.”

Silence ~ ~ all the silence ~ ~ only the heavy silence of breathing ~ ~

In the cold silence, something finally moved—the eyeballs of the great arcanist looked left and right, and he saw that the face of the officer on the left was slightly changing, imagining the horror of those mountain giants coming in a row Silhouette, it is said that those guys were experts at smashing stones when they were young, masters at playing slingshots when they were a little older, and ruthless people who threw spears at a little older. I heard that their favorite game is to compete who can hit with a javelin A frisky goat was two or three hundred feet away.And their javelins are actually regular human spears about seven feet long~~ Especially those mountain giant tribes that are united with dwarves are equipped with a large number of heavy crossbows, and their heavy crossbows are actually regular human ballistas with a range of up to Thousand feet, beyond the spell range of most mages~~

Well, just think about the overwhelming scene of spears and ballistas coming across thousands of feet~~ Everyone is terrified! Even a medium mage who comes and goes like lightning may be hit by a dense volley It is very risky to become a bright red hedgehog in the sky, so the officers, especially the leaders of the arcane soldiers, suggested slowly and cautiously: "We should prepare for a few more days and investigate the strength of the opponent."

He looked to the right. The gentry and officials on the right were calculating the price of success or failure of this battle with slightly changed expressions: I heard that those barbarians are barbaric and greedy for money. They especially like to destroy buildings and have a strong desire for revenge.If this battle is lost, these barbarians launch a fierce attack and continue to attack, there will be no tiles left, and our shops, mines, and our housing properties and luxury villas in various towns Mouth

So everyone unanimously petitioned: "Military and national affairs should be slow rather than fast. Fast is dangerous, and slow is steady. If you want to win steadily against the opponent, you must step by step and fight steadily. Please wait for a few days until we have raised more money, food and soldiers. , and fight them to the death again" Of course, it would be nice not to fight.Otherwise, if the enemy wins and pursues the victory, our industry will suffer.Delay it, anyway, you can ask the king for more money and food, and you can delay it for a few days.

The Grand Arcanist's eyeballs continued to roll around, but he couldn't see a supportive expression—he needed a victory, a great victory~~ With his 'Phoenix', giant stone statue and fire-breathing projectile, it was true There is no certainty of victory, if you attack by force, what if you encounter a powerful master hidden in the enemy army?The eastern barbarian country can form a tug-of-war with the king's main army and the "National Protector Giant Soldiers". Their fighting will and ability cannot be underestimated, so they had to grit their teeth and said: "Then~~Tomorrow, we will be stationed at the spot first, and we will first investigate and make sure. battle plan"

So Kaput spent another two full weeks of comfortable life in the noisy military camp. It was not until summer was about to officially come that he heard some sporadic news from the officers of the same camp—it was said that the enemy had [-] battle-ready soldiers. Although they are on par with their own side, there are nearly [-] mountain giants who are good at archery. The wild arrows and wild spears have taken the lives of many mages and soldiers. It is said that they have intercepted a large amount of food before retreating into the town, including All the food collected from several nearby areas was stored in this town, which is estimated to be enough for them to eat for two or three years. It is said that the enemy's wooden and stone town has now become a wide and thick all-stone defensive city. Based on this, it is judged that there are no less than fifty priests of the Earth Mother in their army. Only they are good at spells such as 'shaping stone' and 'turning mud into stone'. They can quickly expand the city and the longer it takes, the more they build. The taller, thicker, and stronger, all in all, the longer you wait, the worse the situation will be. There have been rumors that the opponent is a pawn specially funded by the eastern barbarian country.

Caput doesn't understand these profound truths, he just keeps thinking about his previous life in the farmland in his dreams, he keeps missing his former relatives, and he keeps meeting his girlfriend~~ah~~ they are all now how's it going?Could it be that ~~ I am so exhausted, selling my life for others?No, I might die~~I might die in the next war. He quietly covered his head with the blanket, and covered it tightly to cover his slight crying~~

But crying is useless. On the 20th day of No. [-], the Arcanist, who never touched the ground, finally decided to send troops to attack. Chances of bad things in the king's ear, if they take advantage of it to get involved again, it's annoying

So he personally took the posture of the "Mechanical Phoenix", which is as tall as a golden building, spread its wings wider than a basketball court, and soared into the sky with muffled noises and shining golden light, hanging above everyone's heads like a giant flying into the sky, letting My own huge black shadow enveloped everyone, giving them strength and courage: Wow~~It's bigger than a mountain~~ Even legendary spells may not be able to move it, right?

Then, like a small mobile fortress, the giant rectangular stone-like chariots lined up in front, showing off their might with their thick six arms; nearly [-] sergeants lined up in a loose formation behind, echoing the mage troops flying at low altitude, ready to follow The giant stone-like chariots launch a tough attack; while dozens of fire-breathing projectile vehicles are the fierce objects in the formation, each with enough fire gel agent and corrosive cloud agent, ready to give the enemy a head-on blow

In the green field in the distance, rows of figures with different heights finally appeared on a hill, wearing ~~heavy armor under a majestic flag flying?It is heavy infantry wearing heavy armor and holding a large shield. Although the formation is a little scattered, but the aura of striding forward is indeed compelling. It must be the king, eight, and egg supported by the dwarves.

After seeing the majestic heavy armored infantry, there are several teams of tall and strong bullocks-the terrifying mountain giants in shining armor are like killing machines, with the sharp bundles of short spears behind them, and the giants in their hands The heavy steel arm crossbow, which is about one person long and has complex craftsmanship, strides like clusters of volcanic eruptions.

But fortunately, they don't have large structures such as giant stone statues and fire-breathing chariots.It's like lacking a thousand elite soldiers, but they are actually at a huge disadvantage hahahahaha~~ In an instant, the great arcanists and heavy army chiefs were filled with vigorous self-confidence: "Besides, they are so stupid to leave the city to fight? Hahahaha ~~ You are huddled in the city, and you can use the tall and thick city walls to block our chariots and engage in tug-of-war with us. Now that you are away from the city, the heavy infantry in front of us is just a bunch of straw after being washed by our giant stone statues. Once the fire-breathing and projectile chariot explodes, it becomes a pile of dry grass hahahaha~~ Do you really think that with hundreds of mountain brutes who can shoot long arrows behind you, you can be invincible?"

"Give me an order, the mage and the arcane vanguard follow the team five hundred feet," the great arcanist said shrewdly: "First avoid the range of their crossbow arrows. Wait until the giant stone statue and the vanguard of the infantry enter the enemy's line and start to disrupt their movement." When the mountain giants are in formation, they just enter the range of our long-range spells, and they will be burnt out." Use giant stone statues and cheap human infantry as shields on top of the tank, and keep the mages and arcane vanguards to be able to fight in subsequent battles Gain an overwhelming advantage

It's just that the shrewd man became suspicious again, and couldn't help but send a text message to the mage below: "How could they be so stupid? They actually gave up their advantage and went out of the city to fight us? Could it be that they have arranged an assault around them?" Cavalry or flying mage troops? Ready to surround and attack us in battle?"
