I am God Chapter 236: : City-states and tribes
In the southern barracks of the Fire Protection City.
Smerkel didn't fall asleep all night. He tossed and turned on the bed excitedly, with uneasiness, self-doubt, and desire and imagination for victory.
At dawn, Lu Qi, the leader of the guards, came to the cabin, and he noticed Smerkel's mood.
"Your Highness."
"Don't doubt your abilities, just as we never doubted that you will lead us to victory."
Lu Qi pulled Prince Smerkel outside the barracks, and saw the soldiers who got up early for training.
When Prince Smerkel came out, the soldiers immediately fell silent and straightened their backs.
Lu Qi brought Smerkel into the crowd, and the soldiers of the Fire Guard City looked at Smerkel with fiery eyes.
The son of King Alpens has a strong and tall body like his father, possesses the same power bestowed by the gods, and on his arm is the certificate of the legendary blood family.
"Prince Smerkel."
"Smerkel"
"Smerkel"
There was a roar like a tsunami among the crowd, Lu Qi told Smerkel.
"Did you hear the cheers?"
"See your soldiers and subjects?"
"Everyone is supporting you, everyone is trusting you."
"If that's the case, why can't you trust yourself?"
Smerkel looked at his good friend Lu Qi and patted him on the shoulder.
But Lu Qi still maintained his humility as a courtier.
Smerkel: "I will lead you to win."
When the tens of thousands of troops set out, the figure of his father Alpens appeared on the top of the city.
Although Smerkel couldn't see his expression clearly, he could feel that his gaze was on him.
The army has arrived in Moonlight City, waiting for the arrival of other troops.
Not only the Fire Guard City sent troops, but also soldiers brought by other city lords.
They all once made an oath to the king of the gods, and when the war broke out, they must send soldiers to fight.
Everyone gathered here to form a coalition of nearly 30,000 troops, and Prince Smerkel was the nominal commander of this coalition.
Looking at the moonlight forest in the distance, Smallkel asked Lu Qi, the guard commander beside him.
"I remember, you seem to be from Moonlight City, right?"
Luci told Prince Smerkel: "Yes, I am the son of Lord Moonlight."
Smerkel turned his head and thought about the city. This is a very prosperous and rich city.
"It seems that your family has established this place very well."
Lu Qi is a little proud: "Back then, Alsini, the first generation of fire guardians, discovered the ball rolling."
"A poet said."
"The fire of civilization may also be said to start here."
Smerkel nodded to Lu Qi: "The Rolling Ball has indeed brought us changes. No one thought that the Moonlight Forest, known as the forbidden place of death, could give the gift of life."
After speaking, Smerkel looked at the city again.
"What a beautiful and prosperous city!"
Lu Qi nodded: "Yes! So I will protect this place at all costs, even if it costs me my life."
Lu Qi looked at Smerkel trustingly: "This is also the reason why we followed you, because we are protecting our homeland and our relatives."
Smerkel didn't speak, but he had another understanding of the war.
Prince Smerkel first sent out scouting soldiers to collect information and clues to know the situation on the enemy's side, while familiarizing himself with his army and the generals leading the army.
However.
Soon Smerkel learned a bad news.
Smerkel put down his pen, with a shocked expression on his face: "Fort Pans is lost?"
The investigating soldier nodded: "Yes, Your Highness."
"The leader of the Winged Demon tribe suddenly attacked Pansi Fortress and caught us by surprise."
"The city lord guarding the fortress has no way to deal with the Winged Demon, and finally fought the enemy bravely to the last moment."
"When we passed by, the enemy not only occupied Pans Fortress, but also our stone castles were also removed one after another."
"The enemy has already entered along the road of the giant snake that stretches for hundreds of miles, and it is estimated that they may arrive in front of us the day after tomorrow."
Pence Fortress is a city established more than 70 years ago. It is an extremely strong and tall military fortress. Always guard against the impact of the animal husbandry tribe.
Behind Pans Fortress is the Serpent Road, which stretches for hundreds of miles and is narrow and dangerous.
Most of those stone fortresses are placed here, preventing the enemy from advancing, and also serving as a warning.
It is this kind of natural danger that makes it difficult for the animal husbandry tribe to go south again.
They safeguard the peace and stability of the city-state of Suinhor.
The once most powerful stone demon tribe among the animal husbandry tribes is gradually declining, and another tribe called the winged demon tribe is rapidly rising.
Their leader is not only a third-level powerful person, but the ancestors of the winged demon tribe accidentally discovered the winged demon egg left by the snake mother era many years ago, and finally used the winged demon egg through difficult methods. The eggs produced offspring.
Until this generation, they have nearly ten winged demons, forming a huge combat power.
The leader of the Winged Demon Tribe led a ten-man Winged Demon squad to come and go without a trace, criss-crossing the central and western plains.
Swarms of Winged Demons suddenly descended on Pans Fortress, catching everyone by surprise and capturing Pans Fortress.
Even the stone fort that was used to warn and block it couldn't even send out a message when it faced the existence of the Winged Demon.
If Smerkel hadn't sent scouting soldiers to check the situation in advance, I'm afraid they still don't know that the people from the animal husbandry tribe are about to rush in along the road of the giant snake.
The city-state coalition army was very excited when they heard the news, and they roared and clamored to teach those barbarians in the northwest a lesson.
"Pence Fortress must be taken back."
"Give them a powerful taste, and kill them without leaving any."
"However, this road used to be full of strongholds of animal husbandry tribes, and the battle line was hundreds of kilometers long. Now they are the ones who have the upper hand. Instead, we are likely to be cut off and stay there when we attack Fort Pans."
"Yes, we must stabilize the situation first."
The bad influence brought about by the loss of Fort Pans was enormous, and fierce quarrels broke out among the federal troops.
Smerkel stood in the temporary barracks built of wood and looked at a map engraved on a wooden board. This was the first time he led troops into battle as an adult, and he encountered such a difficult situation.
As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Smerkel must make up his mind at this time.
Choose the other side's instigation to take the initiative to retake the city, or follow the advice of conservatives to stabilize the situation.
Smerkel turned around, and everyone immediately stopped arguing and looked at Smallkel together.
"We can't be in a hurry. The matter of taking back Fort Pans can be left out for the time being and we can talk about it later."
As soon as he spoke, he set the tone first.
Smerkel pointed to a point on the map: "The most important thing for us now is to defend Giant Snake Town and the surrounding towns. Although this is a small town, as far as I know its defense system It is very well established and was once an important place for war.”
"It's just because there have been no more wars in these years, and the animal husbandry tribe has not chosen to invade south from the Serpent Road for many years, so it is no longer noticed."
"As long as we hold this place, the enemy will not dare to penetrate into our hearts wantonly."
Although Smerkel has never been on the battlefield, but as the son of Alpens, he has been familiar with nature since he was a child, until he has learned some basic things.
And the generals around him will also mention him and serve as his think tank.
More importantly, fortunately, Smerkel has a calm personality and sent someone to investigate the situation in advance.
If they hadn't learned about the fall of Fort Pans two days earlier, they probably would have lost not only Fort Pans and the Way of the Serpent, but also several important defensive points at the entrance.
Together with Serpent Town.
At that time, the situation was really bad. The cities and towns in the northwest would be completely exposed to the enemy, allowing them to plunder and kill.
It's like playing peek-a-boo in the jungle when they try to stop each other.
These Horde snakemen, who are best at this kind of battle, can turn their game around.
Although some radical generals don't like this conservative approach, they also know that Smerkel is right.
Everyone glanced at each other, and finally decided to follow Smerkel's proposal.
"You are the commander!"
"Of course we listen to you."
------------------
The strategy is set.
The army immediately began to move towards Giant Snake Town.
They are very fast, because at this time they are simply competing for time with the snakemen of the animal husbandry tribe.
Whoever arrives first will have the advantage.
Smerkel moved very quickly. After they arrived in Giant Snake Town, they immediately occupied the local dangerous location. It didn't take long for them to see the army of the animal husbandry tribe invading.
The Winged Demon hovered in the sky, making a panicky hiss.
"Hiss!"
Although the Wing Demon has a pair of wings, its body is more like a bug or a snake, and even the sound it makes is somewhat similar to a snake.
Smerkel climbed to a high place and looked up at the Winged Demon in the sky.
"The enemy army is coming soon."
Sure enough, it didn't take long before I saw the soldiers of the animal husbandry tribe coming in groups from afar.
They were clad in leather armor, and carried knives, spears, and heavy hammers in their hands.
Most of the soldiers of the animal husbandry tribe drove the tooth beasts as pack animals to carry supplies, and at the same time, the tooth beasts were also their food. Some snake people drove the tail of the land dragon wrapped around the body of the land dragon and came to the town of giant snakes. .
Smokel drew his bow and arrow, and shot several ground dragoons to death in public, winning a lot of cheers.
There was another warm shout from the crowd.
Calling the name of Prince Smerkel.
But it's a pity that those ground dragons ran back by themselves.
The soldiers from the animal husbandry tribe shouted angrily when they found that Giant Snake Town and the surrounding towns were all guarded by large troops.
But facing the bow and arrow on the top of the city, he could only retreat in the end.
There are more and more troops stationed in the big camp in the distance. Soldiers from various animal husbandry tribes, large and small, are constantly gathering to obey the orders of the leader of the Winged Demon tribe.
Smerkel also sensed that the war was imminent, and ordered the generals of the city-state army to prepare.
And also sent people to other towns to contact the generals stationed, and conveyed the battle plan made by himself and several veterans to their ears.
The animal husbandry tribe is all soldiers, and when they plundered, they directly took the whole tribe and the beasts they raised to migrate together.
This time they came with nearly one hundred thousand people.
There are so many people lined up on the plain, it is almost a sea of people.
Add the Tusk Beast as a pack beast, and the Ground Dragoons.
When they rushed over, it was like a huge wave of hundreds of feet, and everyone felt that the ground was roaring.
Smerkel stood on the head of the giant snake town and gave his order.
"Ready to meet the enemy."
The animal husbandry tribe launched an attack first, and the oncoming ones were small stone demons.
The monsters stepped on the ground and rushed towards the giant snake town, trying to crush everything inside.
As for the city-state coalition army, the powerful snake man on the top of the city stood on the top of the city, waving his hands and summoning the little fire demon.
The little fire demon jumped down from the height and wrapped itself around those stone demons.
There is a wide river outside Giant Snake Town. If the red and hot stone demon burned by the fire demon dares to wade through this moat, it will surely be smashed to pieces.
The city-state coalition army has rich combat experience, and a few of the small stone demons who came aggressively turned into a pool of gravel because they couldn't stop and fell into the water.
The other little stone demons immediately stopped in fear, not daring to rush across the river.
At this time, soldiers from other animal husbandry tribes also rushed over.
These snake-man soldiers swam over from the moat, and then wanted to build a simple bridge to let the little stone golem rush across the moat.
Smerkel in the city also rushed out with an elite team, constantly destroying the animal herding tribes and building bridges, killing these snake people.
The originally clear river turned into blood, and corpses were everywhere.
The leader of the winged demon tribe hovering in the sky was very dissatisfied when he saw this situation. First, the stone demon's impact was blocked, and then the bridge was built with heavy losses.
"Hiss!"
The Winged Demon jumped down from the sky, and the strong wind blew down from the sky, blowing the snake man on the ground until they couldn't open their eyes.
Amidst the blinding wind, the Winged Demon pounced on Prince Smerkel.
Prince Smerkel had already noticed the Winged Demon pounced down from a high place, and instantly activated the certificate of the blood dependent on his arm.
The skirt armor instantly wrapped Prince Smerkel's strong body, and the blood-red cloak danced behind Smerkel.
He raised his spear high and pierced the Winged Demon's body with one shot.
The Winged Demon let out a neigh, and it felt a strange force seep into its body.
The power is like a curse, making its pain double and difficult to heal.
But when Prince Smerkel was about to use his strength to completely kill the Winged Demon.
A third-tier stone colossus emerged from the other side and bombarded Smerkel.
Smerkel immediately raised the shield in his left hand to block in front of him.
The huge force bombarded the shield, Smerkel was thrown to the ground, and the spear was thrown out of his hand.
As a result, the winged demon got rid of the spear and charged into the sky again.
Smerkel rushed out again amidst the smoke and dust. Not only did he not have any wounds on his body, but even the long spear that had been released with a wave of his hand appeared again in his hand.
Smerkel's spear turned into a flaming spear, blood snakes dozens of meters long rushed out of the shield, devoured and bound the enemy, and fought with the stone colossus.
This is a third-order cursed spirit, and it is also the manifestation of the power and will of the leader of the Winged Demon Tribe.
Smerkel was fighting with such a terrifying colossus on the ground with the Blood Family Certificate suit, and the scene was full of shock.
"Ah!"
Smerkel let out a loud roar. He was fighting against the stone colossus alone, and at the same time kept waving his spear to drive away the Winged Demons that fell from the sky.
Such mighty and irresistible divine power made the city-state coalition forces feel as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and the rain of arrows continued to shoot down from Chengtou Mountain,
The people of the animal husbandry tribe were terrified.
There are fewer and fewer soldiers from the animal husbandry tribe rushing through the moat, and their corpses are everywhere on the ground.
At this time, there was also restlessness in the distance.
The reinforcements from the city-state arrived on time and attacked the army of the animal husbandry tribe from the waist.
The gate of Giant Snake Town also opened, and the suspension bridge was slowly lowered.
The soldiers in charge of the charge rushed out as planned and started a counterattack.
Smerkel's divine power is unstoppable. The blood snake in his shield bit the stone colossus tightly, and then shot into the head of the colossus, destroying its core.
The stone colossus collapsed instantly and turned into a cloud of sand.
However, it itself is the manifestation of the power of the powerful, as long as the powerful does not die, it can condense out again after regaining power.
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
Smerkel stood on the ground and roared towards the sky.
However, the Winged Demon hovering in the sky saw Smerkel's provocation, but did not dare to land at all, completely shocked by Smerkel's power.
Besides, the odd Winged Demon was also flying wobbly, obviously the shot Smerkel stabbed just now was not that simple.
At this time, the soldiers who rushed out of the city also rushed to Smerkel's side.
"The chariot is coming."
"Your Highness."
The commander of the guards, Lu Qi, arrived in Smerkel's chariot, and he would always guard Smerkel's side all the time.
Smerkel grabbed his hand and rushed onto the chariot.
"Come on!"
Lu Qi was driving the chariot, and the two chased towards the distance side by side.
The **** cloak fluttered in the wind, and it also covered Lu Qi's body.
The Terrain Dragon pulled the chariot and ran on the battlefield, constantly chasing and killing the retreating animal husbandry tribe soldiers.
The soldiers of the animal husbandry tribe fled in all directions, leaving corpses all over the place.
The winged demon hovering in the sky gradually disappeared into the clouds.
The commander of the guards looked at the battlefield of blood and fire, looked at Smerkel and said with a smile: "Victory! Your Highness!"
"We won."
Smerkel nodded, but added: "It is only a temporary victory."
Smerkel looked at the cheering crowd around him, and watched everyone staring at him become more fiery.
There are so many people who believe in themselves and fight side by side with themselves.
He suddenly felt that becoming a king seemed to be a very fast thing.
Be able to perform the duty of defending the homeland and the people side by side with your companions, and be able to enjoy the cheers and adoration of all.
At the same time.
Smerkel put away his contempt for the animal husbandry tribe, and he saw the power of the winged demon.
Knowing that even if you have the certificate of a blood family member, it is very difficult to get this kind of overlord of the sky.
Without the certificate of the blood dependent and the power bestowed by the first ancestor of the blood, he would not even know how to face these beast-like tribes of herders.
The scene of nearly 100,000 people leading the tooth beasts and earth dragons to attack also really shocked him.
The Winged Demon Tribe also knew that the power from the gods was not something they could deal with head-on.
-----------------
The snake people of the animal herding tribe suffered a big loss in Giant Snake Town, but they were not injured.
Their strength is still there, and their plan to go south to plunder has not been broken.
I will not give up just because of such a small loss.
They immediately adjusted their strategy, and instead of choosing to resist head-on, they began to divide into various tribes and scattered to the entire northwest of Suinhor to start looting.
Fight if you can beat it, and run if you can't beat it.
They have the advantage in the sky, they can use the Winged Demon to observe the movement of Suinhor's army from a height.
Once their army was dispatched to a certain place as a whole, the looting army of these animal husbandry tribes immediately received the news to withdraw, which caused the coalition forces of the city-state a headache.
If they dared to separate small troops, they would fall into the trap of these animal husbandry tribes again.
Fortunately, the material transportation channel leading to Moonlight City was guarded and arranged by the guard commander Lu Qi, and the supplies were kept constant under the ground dragon cavalry of the animal husbandry tribe. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to support them.
At the same time, because they are rooted here, the people of the animal husbandry tribe always only dare to plunder nearby, and dare not really go deep into Suinhor's hinterland.
Smerkel has completely realized that the winged demon is powerful. The most powerful opponent is not only flying, but also the ability to detect the sky.
People in Giant Snake Town were even more restless. The generals of the city-state came to discuss countermeasures, but there was nothing they could do except quarrel.
"Despicable savages." A general from the Fire Guard City patted the table, hating the beast herders extremely, his son led a small team to leave Giant Snake Town and died in the opponent's camp hands.
"Don't dare to fight us head-on, and play sneak attacks all day long." The same is true for others.
"We must take back Pence City, or we will always be beaten passively." Someone brought up the previous proposal again.
The generals kept urging Prince Smerkel to make a decisive battle. Even if it was a risk, he had to take down the city of Pans, and he couldn't be passively beaten like this.
But Prince Smerkel remained on hold, as if he was waiting for an opportunity.
But the pressure on him is increasing.
Many people in the military camp have questioned him, which is not a good sign.
Although most of the soldiers in the Fire Guard City are still very stable, there are more people from other cities in the army, and some people with a heart are deliberately spreading bad news.
Smerkel knows that some people don't want it to win, and even expect him to lose.
Smerkel released a large number of scouting soldiers to collect all the whereabouts and information about the animal husbandry tribe.
On this day, there are scout soldiers reporting back.
"A large number of scouting soldiers from the enemy appeared near Moonlight City."
Smerkel looked at the map and pressed his finger on Moonlight City.
He immediately understood the opponent's plan.
Moonlight City is their most important material transfer hub city, and it is also the wealthiest city in the northwest.
Once truncated, they are very dangerous.
There are such dangers as Pans City and the Serpent Road in front, and the retreat route behind has also been cut off. Tens of thousands of people lost supplies and support, and they will have to withdraw from Giant Serpent Town.
At that time, they will be able to completely rob the entire northwest without any scruples, and even rush directly to the Fire Protection City to show off their might.
And even if Smerkel has a strong combat power, he can only be played around by them.
Like a stupid toothed beast, being led away by the shepherd.
"No."
"Moonlight City must be rescued immediately."
But just after saying this, Smerkel shook his head again, even if he went to rescue Moonlight City, so what?
When the opponent sees the situation is not good, they will retreat immediately, and even take the opportunity to bite off a piece of meat from them.
The problem cannot be completely solved at all, and they are always in a passive state.
Smerkel felt a terrible headache.
Suddenly, Smerkel saw another place on the map.
His eyes lit up, and his spirit suddenly cheered up.
"No."
"This is our chance too."
Smerkel stared at the map with scorching eyes.
That is the place.
Pence City.
He has never dared to attack Pence City, because the army of the animal husbandry tribe is likely to block his retreat, and then attack in layers on the road of the giant snake.
At that time, these elites may have wiped out the entire army in the Serpent Road before they even reached Pence City.
No matter how strong he is alone, he is still only one person. If he falls into the crowd, he may also be trapped.
Army needs food, and soldiers need rest.
And now, the opportunity presented itself.
The people of the animal husbandry tribe wanted to take down Moonlight City and block them, forcing them to retreat to expose their flaws. Even if they didn't reveal their flaws, they would create the best chance of looting.
But Smerkel and the city-state side can also take advantage of this opportunity.
A terrible idea came to Smerkel's mind, using the entire city of Moonlight City as a bait, using that gorgeous and rich city and the large amount of money and supplies hoarded to attract the army of the animal husbandry tribe.
Even if such a mighty city is a herding tribe, it would take tens of thousands of people to win it.
And he took the opportunity to sneak attack Pansi City and completely cut off the retreat of the animal husbandry tribe, leaving these barbarians who can advance and retreat freely no longer to retreat.
Become a group of beasts locked in a cage.
They will.
There is no escape.
Smerkel was able to think of this battle example because it was his father's previous battle example. His father Alpens once took advantage of the most powerful stone demon tribe in the north to rob several cities in the south. blocked their retreat.
Let them have no way to escape on the plain, and eventually become rootless duckweeds and be completely wiped out.
Smerkel is very hesitant, this is using the whole city as bait and price.
Before he successfully captured Pance City, he still hadn't been able to show any signs of supporting or discovering the opponent's purpose, otherwise he might fall short.
Smerkel convened the generals in the army to discuss this matter, and he expressed his thoughts.
In an instant, all the generals stood up.
"This method is very good, and the risk we have to take is much smaller." A veteran looked at Smerkel, with a look of approval in his eyes.
"I think it's okay. As long as Pans City and the Serpent Road can be retaken, these barbarians are dead." The radical generals were also very excited, and finally they didn't have to be passively beaten.
"At that time, I will kill them all and avenge my son." This is a father who hates the snake tribe.
However, Lu Qi, the guard commander of the royal court, stood up.
He said loudly.
"Don't."
"Your Highness."
"You can't make that decision."
Lucci looked at Smerkel in disbelief: "Do you remember what we said?"
"We came to participate in this war to protect our hometown and relatives. How could we sacrifice innocent civilians and people from a whole city."
Moonlight City is Lu Qi's hometown, how could he sit back and watch his hometown become a victim.
Smerkel lowered his head, not daring to look at Lu Qi.
"I didn't sacrifice them, it was just part of the plan."
"As long as Pans City and the Serpent Road are recaptured, we can immediately turn around and rescue Moonlight City."
However.
Even Prince Smerkel himself thinks this is nothing more than a lie and empty talk.
It was a miracle that Moonlight City wanted to defend it under the coalition forces of the animal husbandry tribe until Smerkel arrived.
And miracles are called miracles.
Because under normal circumstances, it is impossible.
The other generals thought that this was a genius plan, which once again proved Smerkel's strong bloodline. They didn't care whether Moonlight City would be sacrificed, anyway, they were not from Moonlight City.
All they want is victory, and what they want is to kill and defeat the barbarians of those herding tribes.
"Your Highness."
"It's too late for us, the animal husbandry tribe will never last a day."
"No, they only need half a day to conquer Moonlight City."
Prince Smerkel hesitated: "I"
He felt like it wasn't right for him to do this, but he was also under too much pressure these days, and this was the only chance he could see.
At this time, the soldiers outside also became restless.
Day after day of waiting and suffering, and the reduction of various supplies and food, these soldiers are also approaching the point of outbreak.
"Fighting with them, I would rather die than be trapped to death like this."
"We need to win!"
"Why stand still, we don't need such a cowardly commander."
"If I had the power of the gods, I would have fought them to the death."
Someone was instigating the soldiers to make trouble, and Smerkel could tell from his accent that the one who yelled the loudest should be the people from Seines City.
But it wasn't just the people of Seines who were encouraged next.
There is a lot of noise outside, like the waves of the sea.
These days, the restlessness of the soldiers became more and more serious day by day, and even the eyes that looked at Smerkel began to have doubts.
People say.
Maybe the prince has great power, but he has a weak heart.
Only by winning one game after another can you become the commander in chief.
What these soldiers can believe in is not just power, but the people who use power to lead them to victory.
Smerkel finally understood that the king did not act arbitrarily.
The king also bears enormous pressure, and also needs to face the choice of life and death.
Moreover, the sacrifices and choices that the king needs to make are also unimaginable. It may be the lives of countless people and the sacrifice of thousands of people.
Smerkel looked at Lucci, his best friend.
Taking a deep breath, he said in a helpless tone.
"I have no choice."
"My friend and brother."
"If you can't win, you can only fail."
Smerkel clenched his hand on the table suddenly: "And I must not fail."
Knowing that everything could not be changed, Lu Qi silently looked at Smerkel and said something in a low voice.
"Your Highness."
"Then please allow me to lead the team back to Moonlight City, I want to defend my hometown with my own hands."
The generals in the room immediately became agitated, and the others did not believe the commander of the guards.
"We can't let him go, he might tip off the news and let our plan fall short."
"Tie him up, he's unbelievable."
"Your Highness, please think about it for the city-state."
Lu Qi roared: "I can swear to the gods."
Then he stared at Smerkel with his eyes, his eyes were red, like a desperate beast.
Smerkel looked at Lu Qi and waved his hand.
"I let you go, and I allow you to take all the soldiers from Moonlight City."
"But you can't leave until the night after tomorrow."
Lu Qi put on his helmet, turned and walked outside.
Smerkel suddenly said to Lu Qi: "I will come to rescue you and Moonlight City immediately after I take Pans City, and I will definitely."
Lu Qi didn't speak, and his figure gradually disappeared outside.
----------------------
Thirty thousand people, under the leadership of Smerkel, crossed the Serpent Road in one day with less than half of the defense strength, not to worry about the back road being cut off and leaving soldiers to guard.
That night.
The city-state coalition forces hit the city of Pansi.
Prince Smerkel took the lead and rushed to the top of Pans City as a vanguard.
He fought against the stone demon and the fire demon alone, killing the whole city of Pence like a **** of war.
And the other side.
Moonlight City is repeating the same scene.
Prince Smerkel repeated his father's miracles and classic battles once again, using the rich Moonlight City to attract the enemy's troops to go south, and then blocked the opponent's retreat, completely sealing the enemy in the south.
Once the animal husbandry tribe loses the flexibility to advance and retreat freely, it is no different from a herd animal waiting to be slaughtered.
Prince Smerkel held an impromptu meeting in the Santo's Mansion of Pans City, and there was no time to clean up the corpses and blood on the ground.
"I am going to rescue Moonlight City."
"You stay and guard Pence City, and arrange the surrounding defenses."
"I have only one request."
Smerkel said in a cold voice: "No one is allowed to leave the Serpent's Way."
Prince Smerkel left 20,000 people behind to guard Pence City and the Road of the Giant Serpent, while he led 10,000 elite soldiers from the Fire Guard City to rush towards Moonlight City overnight.
Raiding in the dark should be the most prone to chaos. Maybe more than half of the people will get lost in the dark and can't keep up with the team.
Smerkel persisted, however.
Smerkel's cloak that burns like a flame is like a lighthouse, attracting everyone to follow closely. These people are soldiers of the Fire City, and they are Alpens and his most loyal subordinates and followers. By.
When it was dawn, no one was left behind.
10,000 people rushed out of the path of the giant snake,
On the other side, the Allied Forces of the Animal Herding Tribes who learned that the Allied Forces of the City-States had captured Pence City were in panic.
They began to retreat frantically, wanting to rush out of the land of Suinhor city-state before the city-state coalition forces completely blocked the way out, and return to their animal herding plain.
One of the two rescued quickly, while the other retreated frantically.
The tens of thousands of coalition forces of the animal husbandry tribe happened to run into the elite city-state rushing out in the dark night, and the winged demon team of the animal husbandry tribe did not expect that Smerkel would lead people to attack overnight, and did not expect to be here at all Hit.
According to their thinking, at this time they should be repairing and building the destroyed city and stone castle in Pans City.
They were caught off guard.
The army of the city-state traveled lightly, while the coalition army of the herding tribes carried large carts and small carts, and the carts contained a large number of looted women and property.
"Kill!"
The army led by Smerkel saw them and started fighting without saying a word.
Rows of chariots led the army towards the animal husbandry tribe under the vigorous pace of the ground dragon. Smaller waved his blood gun and jumped up from the chariot holding his shield high.
He entered the crowd of the animal husbandry tribe alone, causing huge chaos in an instant.
More importantly.
At this moment, most of the animal husbandry tribes don't want to fight Smerkel at all, even if their leaders try to restrain them, it's useless. They just want to rush back from the Serpent Road with the money and spoils they robbed.
They have already looted enough, the richness of Moonlight City is simply unprecedented for them.
The army led by Smerkel completely penetrated the coalition forces of the animal husbandry tribe. This hearty battle was completely different from the previous hide-and-seek battle.
The ground was littered with corpses, and the soldiers of the Fire Guard City brought by Smerkel were exhausted in the end.
The people of the animal husbandry tribe ended up in a mess like headless chickens, without any system at all, and finally broke up and fled in all directions.
Most of them fled to the road of the giant snake, and a small part couldn't find their way, and they were completely scattered with the army.
Seeing the unprecedented victory, everyone was extremely excited.
"Victory."
"Victory."
"Victory."
Even though the soldiers were exhausted, they still lay on the ground and shouted loudly.
They know that this battle is a real victory.
Smerkel stood in the center of the battlefield soaked in blood. He was completely blood-red, standing on a high pile of corpses.
A group of generals came to see Smerkel and respectfully knelt on the ground to salute.
The old veteran dared to approach Smerkel, who was like a **** of war, and said to the prince, "Unfortunately, many people escaped."
Smerkel looked at the direction of the Serpent Road: "Don't worry."
"They will die in the path of the serpent."
After this battle, the animal husbandry tribe had no courage to go south for at least ten years, nor the ability to go south to plunder.
------------------------
Moonlight City was on fire, and there were not many living people in the city.
In the middle of the fire.
Prince Smallkle leads an army into the city.
He completed a miraculous war and completely defeated the coalition forces of the animal husbandry tribe.
He completed a successful annihilation battle, which was tens or hundreds of times more difficult than defeating the enemy.
However.
Miracles rarely happen a second time.
Moonlight City did not complete its miracle, it was attacked by the animal husbandry tribe without any accident.
The city was slaughtered and looted by the ravenous and greedy Snake Horde.
Except for a few people who escaped better by hiding, everyone else died under the butcher's knife.
In the city under fire, there are corpses everywhere.
Soldiers, young adults, old people, women, children.
Prince Smerkel opened his mouth slightly, and the muscles on his cheeks could be seen trembling.
His strategy was very good, and he carried it out smoothly.
But obviously, he didn't really understand the cost of his words being carried out according to the plan, because the words that came out of his mouth were always very easy.
When he actually saw this scene, he was completely stunned.
"I"
The prince stood quietly, his pupils reflected corpses and flames, but he was speechless.
After a long time, he asked the soldiers beside him.
"Did I win?"
No one answered him, and the scene was extremely quiet.
Prince Smerkel walked towards the front of the street, and suddenly he saw a very familiar face.
It was a head pierced on the ground by a wooden spear, and his body could no longer be found.
"Lucci."
Smerkel called out his name.
Lu Qi died very tragically, his eyes were open when he died.
Smerkel stepped forward, but couldn't close his eyes.
