The Sun King's Evidence

Chapter 739: Strategically despising the enemy, tactically paying attention to the enemy

In fact, before Git Sourweed defeated Junku Castle, Skarsnik had already received news from many channels that Belegar, the dead beard, was back. The bad land was too big and vast, and it had been It is no longer news that a powerful dwarf-human coalition appears in the Badlands.

Even when the army arrived at Haimen Pass, Skarsnik received news from the Skaven that Belegar had returned with an unprecedentedly large army. To Skarsnik's expectation, the Skaven Quik, the right-clawed headhunter of the Manmoth clan, warned Skarsnik for the first time. He told Skarsnik that Belegar-Ironhammer's attack this time would be extremely fierce, and the reinforcements he had recruited would also be extremely fierce. Powerful, the other commander is the legendary human hero Yesyes, the divine choice of the female mouse in the lake, and Lion Macado, the king of the small knight kingdom.

The Gray Prophets of the Moss Clan even vaguely received the Oracle of the Horned Rat. The Skaven and the Evil Moon Clan may need an alliance to fight Belegar and his army.

But Skarsnik flatly refused. In the eyes of the Eight Peaks War General, he would never ally with the despicable and treacherous Skaven. He knew how much the headhunter Quark wanted to collect his own head, and Skars Snik knew better how much it wanted to hunt for the heads of Belegar and Quick.

The hatred of the King of Bafeng Mountain, the War General of Bafeng Mountain, and the God of War towards each other has reached the extreme, and each of them can't wait for the other two to die.

So Skarsnik pretended to agree to an alliance, lured the Skaven to send people to negotiate, set up an ambush, and ambushed and massacred the Skaven army that came to negotiate, and built the skull into a monument. Declare your own strength and your attitude of never making alliances.

But the cunning General of Eight Peaks Mountain did not fail to listen to the Skaven's advice. On the contrary, Skarsnik had already judged from the Skaven's attitude that Belega was indeed menacing this time.

Strategically despising the enemy and tactically paying attention to the enemy, this has always been Skarsnik's guiding ideology. In the history of hundreds of years, the Eight Peaks Mountain Warlord has used his cunning and cruelty to defeat countless opponents and become the only warrior at present. There are Goblin warlords who can perfectly suppress and command all the Orks and even Black Orcs under their command.

Before Git Sourweed came to Eight Peaks Mountain, Skarsnik had already thought about how to deal with this expeditionary army. The Eight Peaks Mountain War General fed him all the greenskin warlords who asked to take the initiative to go out and fight the expeditionary army. The beloved Squiggobra, on the other hand, has a strategy figured out.

"Waste, what a waste, but at least you can escape. For the sake of Brother Gomao, I'll give you this stinky thing a chance for the time being." Skarsnik always smiled evilly, and it gestured to Kit - Sour stomach came over: "Now you know who is the boss?"

"Boss...Boss, you are the biggest in this world!" Kit Suwei rushed up excitedly.

"Get out!" Skarsnik kicked Git-Sour Stomach down: "Stinky bastard, don't get close to your most expensive boss. Now, you go and lead the Goblin Wolf Cavalry. As for how to deal with bearded enemies and cans Xiami, listen to me, I will only say it once!"

"Yes, boss, no problem, boss!" Kit-Suan Wei quickly stood up straight and straightened out his belly.

"Listen up, if the enemy advances, we will retreat, if the enemy retreats, we will advance, if the enemy is stationed, we will make noise, if the enemy is tired, we will waaagh!" Skarsnik screamed: "If you hear this, get out of here!"

"Yes!" Kit-Sour Stomach went out.

Skarsnik nodded slowly, looked at the empty and dilapidated dwarf ancestors hall, and smiled.

It likes to laugh very much, because only by laughing can it cover up all its plots and layouts, and make its subordinates confused about what it is thinking. It needs a sense of mystery and majesty. No green skin knows the history of it. Kasnik will promote it to the leader in the next second...or put it into Gobra's mouth.

This was going to be a long battle, Skarsnik thought.

From the perspective of the expeditionary force, the expeditionary force composed of Belegar and Lane is destined to be powerful and difficult to match head-on. The fall and destruction of a large number of greenskin fortresses along the Blackwater Bay and the loss of the military castle have shown that the enemy He was indeed well prepared, so it was a very stupid decision to blindly go out of the city to fight with the expeditionary army. Skarsnik never felt that guerrilla warfare was not waaagh enough. On the contrary, if he could take Belega's head, then it would really be waaagh!

It's just fun to watch the Orcs fight, but if you really want to waaagh, you have to look at me, the Bafeng Mountain Warrior!

On the other hand, the expeditionary force may indeed be very powerful, but the Badlands is the territory of the Greenskins. Here, neither humans nor dwarves have any way to obtain supplies. Humans are even very unadapted to the harsh environment of the Badlands. , they must obtain supplies from Charlemagne's empire or even further afield. Once the war is protracted, the expeditionary army will most likely not be able to hold on.

Therefore, Skarsnik knew very well, would it and its Evil Moon Clan lose? Obviously it's impossible to lose, but is it possible to win quickly and eliminate the bearded enemies and canned shrimps in one decisive battle? Not possible either.

The war must be dragged out! Prolong the fight into a protracted battle, and then look for opportunities to win!

As for the strong walls and clearing the wilderness, it’s not that Skarsnik really intends to give up all the green skinned fortresses. On the contrary, the only thing Skarsnik can control is actually the Xie Yue clan in Bafeng Mountain, and it can’t control other clans, let alone Can't give orders.

Skarsnik's plan is to concentrate all the forces of the Evil Moon Clan to guard the Eight Peaks Mountain and another important stronghold. Valaya sadly gathered his forces and refused to have a decisive battle with Belega and Ryan in the wild and the opportunity to defeat them. , On the contrary, I would rather have all kinds of tricks, but I just have the old idea. When the time comes, I will defend the Bafeng Mountain Fortress. If you have the ability, attack the city and see who can outlast the other!

Bellega! One of you and me will die!

.........I am waaagh! dividing line......

No matter how the Bafengshan War General planned the layout of this large-scale battle in the future, in the old world, the winter in Junku Castle in February was very lively.

A small part of the expeditionary army is now stationed at Haimen Pass, and most of it is stationed at Junku Fort. After a month of construction, Junku Fort has now been built into a very strong military fortress. The six-meter-high city wall is full of artillery and shooting holes. The 20-kilometer-long fortress wall was modified based on the green-skin fortress. The dwarf engineers also introduced water from the Blackwater River to build a moat. A complete set of facilities such as traps were set up in front of the ditch, as well as dwarf wars. Machines, and the city walls are patrolled by serf archers and dwarf crossbowmen and musketeers everywhere.

A very abnormal prosperity has formed in the military castle. Since there are 40,000 troops stationed here, a large number of merchants are like sharks smelling blood, coming from the old world in a steady stream. The merchants know that, The expeditionary force has money and seizures in hand. Selling the stolen goods can bring huge profits. Even if the Oliver Chamber of Commerce and the Hadrian Chamber of Commerce work together to sell the stolen goods, as long as a little bit is leaked, many small businessmen can be full.

Similarly, all kinds of goods arrived with the merchants. The merchants knew that the soldiers had money, the nobles had money, everyone had money, and they needed consumption and entertainment. This is how merchants make money. Taking advantage of the opportunity, many merchants spontaneously organized escort teams to transport various commodities to Haimen Pass and Junku Castle for trade and sale. Even many women came here because of their reputation.

Ryan is very strict about military discipline, but he also allows knights or soldiers to relax appropriately when they are not on duty. Most of the knights choose to be stationed in the military castle, because Ryan leads by example in the military castle as a king.

In the camp of the ranger "Emerald Wind", the wood elves' rangers are stationed here. Of course, the wood elves are very unadapted to the badland environment because they can hardly feel the energy from the forest here. and affinity, and in terms of loot and capture, the wood elves are a typical low-desire society. Except that killing greenskins can bring some comfort to these rangers, there is nothing else.

Deep in the camp, a half-elf was checking his weapons and equipment and oiling his dagger. He had been doing this for more than ten years. Although his appearance did not change much from before, His movements are already very skillful.

If anyone still remembers, this half-elf is Estelle who once followed Ryan on his adventures in Nord. More than ten years have passed and he is still serving under Ryan. He has also saved a lot of savings over the years. After being canonized by Ryan and acquiring a real estate, Estelle immediately relied on her good looks and the racial charm bonus brought by the half-elf to quickly marry a free citizen's daughter and settle down, but The good times did not last long. A few years later, Estelle's wife died due to dystocia, leaving him with only a daughter. This incident was a big blow to the half-elf, and his character, which had never liked to talk much, became Somewhat taciturn.

However, a few years after the death of his last wife, Estelle married a freedman's daughter. This marriage has no children yet. Most half-elves will have 3-5 marriages in their lifetime.

"Estel? Are you here?" At this time, a greeting voice came from the distance. Estelle could tell from the footsteps that the other person was not an elf. The proud half-elf instinctively did not want to pay attention to the other person. But the person who came was an old acquaintance of his: "Lops? It's you, long time no see."

"Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still as young as you were when you were adventuring in Nord." The visitor was a middle-aged man in his forties, who had followed Ryan all the way from Nord to Buenos Aires. The son of Hyde, the Nord lord of Retania, Lopus was named Baron Watts for his meritorious service in the Mousilon conquest and was responsible for garrisoning the Mousilon coastline.

The middle-aged man was holding a halberd. This halberd had been with him for decades and had been recast many times in the hands of dwarves. When he saw Estelle, Lops showed a sad smile on his face. : "Are you okay, old friend?"

"It's not bad." Estelle gestured for Lops to sit down. The ranger's camp was not big. There was a simple campfire lit at the door, and a pot of hot soup was being cooked inside with some herbs and meat: "Why did you come to me suddenly?"

"Why, can't I come and have a chat with you?" Lops sat down naturally. He grabbed a branch and poked the woodpile: "Anyway, everyone is busy, and I have nothing to do. "

Estelle shook her head helplessly when she heard this and smiled self-deprecatingly. The half-elf knew why.

Lops followed Ryan and arrived in Britannia with him in his early years. He can be regarded as a senior old man. However, after all, this Nord has limited talent and strength. After more than ten years, he has always been stuck in the elite level. He was unable to reach the peak of the legendary level, and his commanding and internal affairs abilities cannot be said to be poor, but they can only be described as mediocre. After a long time, Lops was gradually excluded from the core and decision-making levels. Although everyone respects him very much, they don't take his opinions into consideration very much.

But why not myself? Estelle himself has served Ryan for more than ten years, but his identity as a half-elf is destined to be impossible to be reused. Ryan appointed him as the commander of the Emerald Wind because of his special identity. To put it simply If there are no particularly significant contributions and achievements, Estelle will be like this for the next few decades.

"Want something? Maybe it's not to your liking." Estelle filled a bowl of food and handed it to Lops.

"It has been more than ten years, and you are still so young, but I am already old." Lops reached out and took the pottery bowl. The dishes made by the wood elf seemed to have some special magic. Baron Watts could see himself in the bowl. Many years have passed on his face, and he has transformed from a young halberdier into a middle-aged man with crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, a slight looseness on both sides of his face, and a full beard.

"You should stay in your territory when you are old. Mr. Lops, there is no need for you to insist on participating in this great expedition." Estelle also picked up a bowl, and the half-elf said arrogantly and sarcastically: "Being brave doesn't mean dying!"

"No, the end of a true warrior should never be to die in bed!" Lops picked up the bowl and said angrily: "Urik guided me that the best destination for a true warrior is to be shrouded in horse leather and fight. Fighting on the battlefield of death, fighting for the future of mankind, fighting for glory and belief."

"Glory and faith will not bring you a better life and higher status, Baron." Estelle was still disdainful: "Times have changed, old antique, you should live for yourself."

"I have lived enough." Lops put down the bowl and spoon, and the baron looked at the half-elf with contempt: "I went from being the son of a Nord lord to becoming the current baron, honoring my family, and marrying a wife. Aren’t you satisfied with having a child?”

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, you are very satisfied, so satisfied that you want to die!" Estelle thought that she couldn't make sense with this human being.

"One generation can only do the things of one generation." Lops shook his head: "While I can still hold my halberd, I must leave something in this world, otherwise, I will be forgotten. Death is not scary. Ulric will embrace my soul and take me to the kingdom of the wolf god. Estelle, if you only think about yourself in everything, you will not come to the bad land. I miss you so much. It must be an excuse not to go on the expedition, am I right?”

"Enough! Forgotten! You have a family, a coat of arms, and a title. How could you be forgotten?" Estelle threw the bowl to the ground suddenly, and the stew and soup spilled all over the floor. The half-elf stood up with an excited expression: "What do you know? Do you know what it means to be a half-elf? In the eyes of humans, he is an elf, in the eyes of elves, he is a human! No one feels that he is not one of them, Everyone thinks he favors his race!”

The half-elf's anger went away as quickly as it came. He looked at the broken bowl, took a deep breath, and sat down again: "Sorry, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"So, we understand each other?" Lops said with a sneer.

"That's right." Estelle nodded.

"It seems that this lunch has to be suspended, so let's make an agreement." Lops reached out and picked up the fragments on the ground: "Estel, when this great expedition is over, we will return to Brittany. Let’s have a good time together and have a meal together.”

"Okay, let's make a deal!"
