Chapter 593: Turning against guests
Li Yu's first words after returning to the tent stunned Miss Rabbit.
"Our opponents this time are not only the savages, but also the dwarves on the other side of the mountain."
"Dwarves?" the female lord exclaimed, "How is this possible? Let's not talk about whether those dwarves have the courage to fight. Even if they are really crazy, why would those savages cooperate with them? They have always been mortal enemies. Ah.”
"Those dwarves agreed to return the land they occupied before to the savages on the mountain." Li Yu said.
"Really? I heard that there is still gold in that land. With the greed of those dwarves, how could they give up so easily."
"Because they now want the West, and even fight all the way to Lionheart Castle. I heard these things from a wild man named Redbeard.
"He was talking to their sister at the time...well, and he didn't know that I could understand him, so I think his words are quite credible."
"What do you mean?"
"They are making out." Li Yu explained.
"Huh? As expected of a savage... But why didn't you just say it in front of the big guy when we were discussing the battle plan? This would also allow others to be prepared, and your three-eyed bird is really Can’t be used? ”
"Of course they can be used. The reason why I said that before was because there were spies from the savages among us."
"You mean big hands?" Miss Rabbit had a look of surprise on her face.
"His mother is a savage, so it's not surprising that he would prefer those guys. Moreover, Hells sent him to interrogate those savages. He actually said that he couldn't understand other tribes. It was indeed a lie."
Li Yu was noncommittal, "Tomorrow when I go to the mountains, I can arrange for him to have more contact with those savages, and let me observe if there are any small moves between them."
"Wait, are we still going into the mountains?" The female lord frowned, "It would be fine if it was just the savages, but if the dwarves are also involved, the situation will become very serious."
"Then are you sure you can convince others to turn around?" Li Yu asked.
"This..." Ilea hesitated. Although she is the commander-in-chief of this army, she is not Marquis Cullen after all. Like other lords, she is just a vassal of the Figuerola family. From this perspective, everyone's status is equal. of.
It is true that the female lord brought the most people this time, and Miss Rabbit's personal reputation has reached its peak after experiencing dragon slaying and winning the martial arts tournament.
It was widely expected that she would lead the army, and no one raised any objections.
But she couldn't completely ignore the opinions of her subordinates. If she was really pressed, other lords could take action on their own.
In fact, the military composition of such large and small lords on the Bratis continent is generally not that strong in discipline.
Marquis Cullen had not wanted to go any further before, but he couldn't hold it back and some of his vassals became red-eyed and chased the savages into the mountains. In the end, Marquis Cullen had to lead his army in pursuit.
As a result, there was no news from this trip.
Not only Marquis Cullen is missing, but also elite and important members of various families, and even more than a dozen lords.
Not only Morse was urging Ilea, but the other nobles who were traveling together this time were also very anxious and wished they could go into the mountain overnight.
If we fail to rescue those 10,000 people this time, it will be a very serious blow to many families.
Ilea even saw a gray-haired old man wearing armor and coming in person, hoping to save her son.
Miss Rabbit put herself in their shoes and found it difficult to persuade them to give up, even if it was just to postpone going into the mountains for a few days.
In addition, as a vassal, you should not retreat under any circumstances when the monarch is in trouble. This is a very shameful thing on the Bratis continent.
Especially since they haven't even seen the faces of the dwarves, using this reason to withdraw the troops will almost certainly lead to overwhelming criticism.
But forget it if you don’t know. It’s obviously not rational to jump into a trap even if you know there is one ahead.
Miss Rabbit is in a dilemma.
Li Yu paused and said, "There is one more question."
"What's the problem?" The female lord's eyelids twitched. She just wanted to hear some good news now, and was most afraid of hearing the word "problem", but Li Yu continued to speak.
"If those dwarves have really cooperated with the savages in the mountains, they can attack the Western Region through the Dragon's Back Mountains, and soon reach the foot of Rock Snow City, and will pass through the Green Fields on the way.
"Having just experienced a tragic loss, the Figuerola family will almost certainly recruit as many people as possible and concentrate their forces to defend Yanxue City. By then we may have no choice but to abandon Green Field.
"And even if you ignore the order and want to rely on the new city to hold on, we don't have enough manpower. Moreover, the other lords in the Western Region were too busy to take care of themselves at that time and couldn't send anyone to help us."
After hearing this, the female lord's face became ugly.
"Seer Merlin, do you have any advice?"
"I suggest you take people into the mountain as planned early tomorrow morning."
"But wouldn't I fall into the trap of those dwarves?"
"It looks like this on the surface, but it's actually not as dangerous as imagined." Li Yu said.
"We have three-eyed birds. I can send them to detect the movements of the savages and dwarves at all times. They will not fall into the opponent's plan like Marquis Cullen and others. And we may be able to ambush them in turn."
"Those savages must feel that they are familiar with this mountain, and only they can take advantage of the terrain here. They must not have thought that we can also surprise them.
"If you want to keep the green field, the best way is to put the battle outside the territory, which will cause the least damage, and now we have five thousand people.
"Without the goal of rescuing Marquis Cullen and the ten thousand people, these people would not have come to help us guard the green fields."
After listening to Li Yu's analysis, Miss Rabbit also found that this mountain seemed to be unavoidable.
Li Yu later added, "But the premise is that we must first find those savage spies."
"Then how about we capture the big hand first?" The female lord thought for a while and said, "If he is wronged, then let him go when he comes back. This is the safest way."
"I actually have another suggestion." Li Yu said.
"What proposal?"
"Keep that spy. You can use him to confuse the savages and dwarves at critical times. If you can use this card well, it will be as good as adding thousands more people to our side." (End of Chapter)
