Chapter 678: Strength Supremacy Black Snake Bay
In the humid and musty Sola Castle, the hall that used to be as loud as boiling water was now quieter than the library.
The morning light shines through the narrow windows, illuminating the dust in the air amid the smell of firewood smoke.
These secret party leaders and soldier captains, large and small, gathered around the big mahogany table in the center, saying nothing.
On this long table used for discussions, the broken battle flag with the Ulthion family crest printed on it was spread flatly on the table, but the burning eyes of the people around it almost set it on fire.
"Didn't you print this yourself?" In the silence, an old wizard finally couldn't help but question.
This doubt soon received approval in twos and threes. You must know that from March 22, when Horn entered Green Blood Town, to yesterday, March 29, it took them a total of 7 days to break through the strong Avis God. temple.
If we talk about the siege alone, it only took 5 days.
There are a full 4,000 defenders in the surrounding village strongholds along the Temple of Avis, as well as a large number of extraordinary knights.
As for the coalition forces, the total number is only about 8,000, of which more than 2,000 of the God's Punishment Army are new recruits.
Novia stared at the old wizard eagerly: "Do you doubt my integrity?"
"No, no." The old wizard waved his hand quickly, "I just have this question."
Raising two middle fingers towards the old wizard, Novia smiled and said: "I've been flying for too long, please move my fingers. Do you have any objection?"
"...No."
At this moment, Danio asked proudly: "It seems that as you said, the power of the Saint Sun is greater than Myrcella, right? Lao Jawa, I didn't expect that you are still a devout believer. .”
Even though it was "one of our own" who was being laughed at, the surrounding secret party wizards still burst into amusement and laughter.
Old Gava, who once made sarcastic remarks to Danio, was irritated by Danio, but his face didn't look very good at the moment.
But he couldn't refute, so he could only pretend that he didn't hear it and concentrated on studying the tiles on the ground.
Picking up the flag and brushing the silky texture with his palm, Thelomis's words showed no trace of emotion: "The Temple of Avis was actually breached in ten days... Novia, you were You were there, can you tell me how you did it?”
"I can say it, but I don't want to say it. I've been flying all night. I want to eat and sleep." Novia pointed at Danio next to her. "He has read the battle report and is familiar with the tactics of the Salvation Army. I Went to eat.”
Taking out the battle report brought by Novia, Danio stood up and explained calmly: "We used a new type of clockwork cannon, which you can think of as a large clockwork blunderbuss."
As an officer of the Salvation Army, although Danio was not at the scene, his language skills and judgment and description of the battlefield situation were far better than Novia's.
"My Majesty first used 5 clockwork cannons to continuously bombard the city wall, blasting open the wall and exposing the earth wall inside. When it was crumbling, the city defender Earl Ursion tried to escape, but was ambushed around the dock. Captured by the Guards
The next day, His Majesty escorted Count Ursion to the city. Count Ursion ordered the soldiers in the city to surrender and promised not to kill them. As a result, the morale of the soldiers dropped greatly and they surrendered one after another. The Temple of Avis was breached. . ”
"As expected of the Patriarch's Imperial Army who defeated the Imperial Company."
"In fact, the contribution of the God's Punishment Army in this battle cannot be ignored." Danio corrected, "Most of the villages and military strongholds were contributed by the God's Punishment Army, because they did not equip the clockwork Cannon.”
Although he still had no idea, the fact that the Temple of Avis was destroyed was right in front of him, and Thelomis even doubted himself.
Is it possible that Black Snake Bay cannot fight back against the Empire because they are not united enough?
Shaking his head, Thelomis looked at Danio for the first time: "Your Excellency Horn, did you say anything else in the letter that we need to do?"
"No, Your Majesty said, if you protect yourselves, that will be the greatest help."
If the original secret party heard this mocking words, they would definitely arouse a lot of anger, but now there are only a few inaudible complaints.
In Black Snake Bay, where strength is paramount, big fists are the last word. ………………
"Trash, forget about being captured, but he is still being escorted to call the door. Why doesn't he die? Forget it."
All the muscles on Duke Bodoza's face were squeezed together, the white makeup powder fell rustlingly, and the abusive saliva dropped like raindrops on the white paper of the battle report.
Under the black tent, all the knights and counts under his command had arrived. They collectively lowered their heads and secretly glanced at Duke Bodoza who was gritting his teeth.
Only Earl Kazi walked straight to the table and began to pull out several maps on the table, splicing them together and looking back and forth with a frown.
This is not because the other nobles are lazy, but because their relationship with Duke Portosa is too far away.
If it had been them, they would have been caught and sprayed by the disowned Duke of Portosa as soon as he took a step forward.
"These rubbish, you rubbish, can't conquer a city in two months. I treat rubbish like this." Holding the battle report with his fat fingers, Duke Bodoza bared his teeth and tore the battle report into pieces. , hit the ground hard.
"Why are you looking at me?" Bodossa tilted his eyes at the group of knights and nobles, "I raised you just to let you watch?"
A knight coughed and said: "Your Excellency, since they are here, let's just sit back and wait for work. How about surrounding the area to call for reinforcements?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"I've surrounded your horse. What if Sora Castle is in harmony with the outside?"
"Then what about taking a boat and taking the initiative to attack?"
"There are almost 20,000 of us. How many ships can transport at one time? If you are stupid, just stay at home and don't come out to embarrass yourself."
Three or four nobles' proposals were rejected by Bodoza, and the remaining knights and nobles understood.
They are all used to seeing battlefields. Who hasn't fought against the pioneer rebels and those bandits and horse bandits in the south?
Judging from Duke Bodoza's behavior, one could tell at a glance that he had given up after hearing that the Salvation Army of Prince Condai had been defeated, and just wanted to fight with the wind.
As soon as Ursion lost the Temple of Avis, the Duke couldn't bear the pressure. Otherwise, why would he be so irritable?
"Your Majesty the Duke is right. Don't fight in front of Sola Castle. This area is not easy to fight." Relying on his memory, Earl Kazi recalled the contents of the battle report. "The opponent should have a magic-driven catapult. , very powerful, but also very heavy.
They won't be able to clean up the sunken ships in the Morne River for a while, so they can only take the land route, and the transportation speed is not expected to be fast.
Although we don't have catapults, we do have knights. Everyone has heavy armor and can withstand hard battles. We have snake servants carrying armor, so the swamp is better.
So why don't we set off now and travel day and night? They certainly wouldn't expect us to arrive so soon.
By the time we have blocked them in the swamp area, Your Majesty the Duke, you should have assembled the ordinary infantry. Then you can bring the soldiers over by boat and we can join forces. What do you think, Your Excellency? ”
Although Kaqi had not finished speaking, Bodosa could clearly hear the meaning behind his words.
The most critical among them are the two words "take a boat".
If the knights achieve their goal, then Bodossa can naturally come by boat to support them and get some credit.
If the knights failed to achieve their goal, then the main force would be defeated, and it would be normal for the Duke of Portosa to avoid the battle and save the ship and return to France.
In other words, waiting for the Qianhe River Valley army to attack is uncontrollable, but taking the initiative is controllable.
As long as people are alive, shouldn't it be up to the supreme commander, Duke Bodoza, to write about the specific situation on the battlefield?
Even if they lost, the scapegoat for this battle, Duke Portosa, was found. Wasn't there also a certain Count Ursion who abandoned the city and ran away and was captured, then shouted for the city to open?
"Look at people, if you can have such a plan, why should I work so hard to be the coach." Patting Earl Kazi's shoulder, Bodosa showed a satisfied smile on his face, "When I get back, I will write you an invitation. Success report! ”
