Heart of Empire Chapter 381: Intimidation

After seeing Palan, Velina originally hoped that her subordinate, who had changed beyond recognition, could take a good rest first. 【】But Palan himself is unwilling.

The disfigured general said to Verina very seriously: "General, don't underestimate our opponent. If you are facing other enemies, if you want to delay for a longer time, you can set up layers of defenses and intercept line, may be able to achieve the goal. But in the face of this army of demons in Conley, I think it is meaningless. The time that can be delayed is very limited, and it is difficult to retreat calmly from the hands of the demons, and it will only be lost in vain It is difficult to achieve the desired effect.”

Verina said: "I know what you mean, but we still have to do this. The city defense facilities in Shawan Port are too simple and not a strong city. We can't fight the enemy here. field. But then again, this city is the essence of the south of Schindler.”

"Therefore, we must try our best to evacuate as many people as possible from the harbor. It is no longer feasible to go by land. I have already started to arrange a large number of people to go to Comilla Island by boat and sea. We There is definitely no way to evacuate everyone, but at least we can keep as much essence as possible.”

"As long as there are people, the city will be destroyed, but at least there will still be a spark of hope."

"Ah..." Palan sighed, and said, "Then... Your Excellency General, you mean that we will stay in Shahaiwan Port for two more days?"

"Yes."

"The enemy may approach the city in two or three days. At that time, the civilians and merchants can leave by boat from the sea, but we can't. We are going to defend the White Wolf Castle, but we will not leave the city until then Going east, there is a great risk of being directly bitten by Conley's troops. General, have you considered this situation?"

Verina was silent for a while, and said: "Of course I thought about it, so I set up an outpost. If an outpost can be fought for half a day, we will make a lot of money; if we can hold on for an hour, it is not fast; even if it is only Being able to persist for half an hour or ten minutes is also a value."

"Alas..." Palan sighed. According to his thinking, the safest thing to do is to abandon the city of Shawan Port, let the civilians fend for themselves, and then shrink to White Wolf Fort, relying on the strong fortress of White Wolf Fortress and sufficient logistical support to hold on to the city, that is the only chance to persevere under the pressure of Kangli's army.

Verina was silent for a while, and continued: "We want to preserve some life for Shawan Port and the south of Schindler. You know, if we just leave like this, Shawan Port will be breached After that, I don’t know how many people will die. If these people die, even if we win the battle, all that will be left is ruins.”

"I listen to you." What else can Palan do? I can only nod.

…

When Verina was arranging the large-scale evacuation of Shawan Port in the south and the delaying tactics with the enemy, on the outskirts of Ice Cave City in the north, the coalition forces of Dane and Oze had already fought against the Northern Army Group Two days of fighting.

No one took advantage of the two consecutive days of fighting. On the first day, relying on the advantage of attacking from both sides, after agreeing to attack at the same time, Ou Ze and Dane actually dealt a certain blow to the Northern Army, but they were unable to defeat each other in one go. After falling into a disadvantage at the beginning, he quickly adjusted.

Under the continuous deployment of troops, Galvin and Anders took action together, led a large number of the main force of the Northern Army, concentrated on the east, and pushed Ou Ze back. And Dane originally wanted to take advantage of the time when the main force of the Northern Army was dealing with Ou Ze's troops, and take the opportunity to dispatch leading soldiers to make a surprise attack, hoping to try to penetrate the enemy's troops, and perhaps obtain unexpected results.

As a result, Ou Ze retreated a bit quickly.

Seeing that Ou Ze chose to honk his whistle to withdraw his troops, of course it was impossible for Dane to continue to act recklessly. Without Ou Ze to attract the enemy's attention, Dane's thousands of soldiers, no matter how elite, would not be able to charge ten times as many enemies. If there were 40,000 miscellaneous soldiers in front of him, maybe Dane would dare to play with one vote, but the Northern Army, as an army assembled by Governor Conley with all his family resources, is not bad in combat effectiveness. If he really dared to rush up without his life, the result would most likely be to really lose his life.

Dane was a little dissatisfied with Ou Ze's early retreat, but he actually felt that today was indeed a pretty good opportunity. However, the two sides are two armies after all, and they have never had the energy to fight side by side. Of course, it is very normal that they cannot be intimate. It's hard for Dane to say anything more, otherwise it's uncertain whether it will have a favorable impact on the ensuing battle situation, but it is very likely to tear a rift in the not-so-close cooperative relationship between the two parties.

However, when there was still no major progress in the battle on the second day, Dane was a little anxious.

Although, in terms of the exchange of troops, with the addition of Dane, he and Oze still have a slight advantage. Especially the troops on Dane's side, often when one soldier died on his side, the enemy would pay the lives of three to four soldiers. If the fight continues like this, Dane and Ou Ze will fight steadily, grasp the advantage, and finally wear it down slowly. The two sides will bleed together. If they can fight for longer, the bigger chance of victory will be on his and Ou Ze's side. of.

Dain can see this, and of course Ou Ze can also see it. Even Dane could understand that the reason why Ou Ze didn't fight too hard for two consecutive days was actually thinking about this matter.

If the rear is stable, Dane will also support such a fight. What's wrong with that? The more aggressive the strategy, the easier it is to leave gaps, and the easier it is to be caught by the Northern Army, which may ruin the advantage that has been hard-won. Like a boa constrictor, it strangles the opponent tightly, suffocates the enemy to death, even if you have to pay some price, what's wrong with it?

But the problem is that it doesn't work, Dane's backyard is not just on fire now, it's about to erupt! How could he follow Ou Ze's idea and fight the enemy slowly?

So, on the night of the 22nd, when the battle ended once, the whistle was honked to withdraw the troops, and when he planned to fight another day, Dane directly sent Mage Joel as an envoy to Oze's army, and followed him The governor made a magical audiovisual connection.

Looking at Ou Ze, who is only middle-aged but already full of gray hair, Dane greeted him first, and then immediately cut to the point: "I hope we can launch a general attack on the enemy as soon as possible."

Ou Ze, who was wearing a dull silver metal close-fitting armor, stroked the same white beard on his chin with one hand, and said: "The risk is too great. Dane, don't be so anxious, we have some advantages now, why not take Continue to maintain the advantage? You know, our strength will not be much stronger than the Northern Army Group. If we really want to launch a general offensive and fight a decisive battle, it is unknown who will win and who will lose."

Dyne sneered and said, "Yes, you can take them slowly, but I can't, my lair is about to be handed over!"

Ou Ze shook his head and said, "Dyne, I didn't say it, but you should understand it too. At this time, our fate is tied together, and I won't intentionally harm you. But, Just think about it, our army and our battlefield are in the northernmost part of Schindler, and your territory is in the southernmost part of Schindler. Even if we completely wiped out the Northern Army tomorrow, we immediately turned around and headed south. Can you save the White Wolf Fort?"

Dane said: "You don't need to worry about this."

Ou Ze continued to persuade him earnestly: "You know Kang Li's ability. The five thousand soldiers he leads are the most elite team in his hands. Let's not talk about that for now. The demon army controlled by Wan himself and led by him is also a terrifying force. Your main force is now in the north. How many people can stay in White Wolf Castle? How much combat power can you have? Let's go south from Ice Cave City , to arrive at White Wolf Fort, it will take half a month to march quickly, and White Wolf Fort will definitely not be able to support it at that time."

"Since this is the case, let's think about it rationally and take a huge risk just to save the White Wolf Castle, which is too late to rescue? What's the point?"

"You just listen to me, come with me, first use the safest method to completely wipe out Kangli's Northern Army Group, and then we will join forces and go south together to find Kangli and kill that The traitors, the accomplices of the demons, and the demons who have lost their command in the entire territory of Schindler will be wiped out, and Schindler will be restored to peace."

"In the future, Schindler will be the two of us who have the final say. Let's build this barbaric and war-torn land into a truly beautiful land. Isn't it good? For many years, I don’t want to move anymore. I just want to be confused in the city, and I will give you the rest of the place. Moreover, I am not young, and I won’t live many years. After decades, I will grow old and die. You are right In his prime, he happens to be the only leader on this land.”

Ozer said a lot. When he said these words, even the knight Elder next to him, who had been with him for many years, felt inconceivable—when will his governor talk so much about people? Said to share Schindler equally with Dane? He even said that after his death, Schindler would belong to Dane alone? Is this what the governor can say?

But Dane, who was standing opposite them, had a different idea.

Undoubtedly, Ou Ze drew a big pie for him. Moreover, looking at Ou Ze's appearance, it seemed that Dane would definitely accept his proposal.

Actually, to be honest, if Dane had been an ordinary warlord, he might have agreed. The big deal is that the two cities have been breached. After the Northern Army Group is destroyed, the entire Schindler is his own. Where can there be any losses?

In this sense, Dane doesn't feel sorry for the loss of Mihe City; nor does Dane feel sorry for the loss of Arnold's collar and Iron Nail Hill. Anyway, it is the two territories that have just been occupied, so what's the disadvantage of going back? Even if Shawan Port and Rotten Wolf Town were all lost, Dane's heartache would not be so painful that he wished he could die. Although those are two big money bags, it is still possible to exchange two money bags for half a Schindler.

But White Wolf Fort can't. The base of Dane's Human Temple was built in White Wolf Castle!

If White Wolf Castle is breached, the human base that has been built for so long will be finished! When the time comes, where will Dane go to find another temple town hall to rebuild?

It is absolutely impossible for Dane to accept such a permanent loss of a system base.

However, it is impossible for Dane to tell Ou Zeming about this point. That being the case, he didn't think about any excuses at all, and said to Ou Ze quite bluntly and forcefully: "We must launch a general offensive as soon as possible. After the war, you must lend me 10,000 soldiers. These two conditions, Can you agree to all of them?"

Ou Ze was caught off guard. He didn't expect that after talking so much and persuading him so much, Dane still looked like this. His expression became quite angry, and the power of the sixteenth-level sword master was undoubtedly revealed even through a layer of magic screen!

He said angrily: "Are you so stubborn?!"

Dane didn't care about his anger at all, no matter what the Juggernaut behaved, he was always asking for his own side, and Dane didn't want to talk about it with him. He said directly: "I don't have any intention of discussing with you. I have already given my bottom line. These two conditions are indispensable. If you agree to everything, we will plan and plan a full-scale offensive plan; if you have one Don’t agree ~IndoMTL.com~ Well, don’t wait for tomorrow, I will immediately withdraw my troops tonight.”

Hearing that Dane threatened with the word 'withdraw troops', Ou Ze was furious! The meticulous hair was blown into fours and threes under the invisible force rising from his body. He stared at Dane with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice, "How dare you?!"

Without any fear, Dane took a step forward with his chest straight, and said, "Why am I afraid? If you don't agree, I will withdraw my troops. It's as simple as that."

Ou Ze was very angry.

He really wanted to reject Dane on the spot and let this short-sighted idiot go away. But no, without Dane's five thousand elite soldiers, he would not be able to defeat the Northern Army by himself.

Ou Ze calmed down his anger for a long time.

Dyne is not in a hurry, it's just getting dark now, the soldiers are still having dinner, it's still early in the morning, there is plenty of time for Ou Ze to think.

In the end, as expected, under Dane's firm will, Ou Ze chose to compromise and heeded his opinion to launch a decisive battle as soon as possible. (To be continued.)
