Chapter 712 Negotiations
"But there is only one Rage Lion Knights in my fiefdom with less than 300 people!" Ye Feng said.
"But you are recruiting troops, and it won't take long to make your army not three hundred, but three thousand!" Clint smiled.
Ye Feng was shocked. He didn't expect Drog to pay so much attention to his finial place where he could not shit, and even recruited soldiers.
"Yes, I'm recruiting troops. Soon the Rage Lion Knights in the Desolate Town will be expanded to three thousand people. That's because I don't want the damn Sand Bandits to attack through the storm barrier, my soldiers have no resistance. But what about it? Do you know how many troops the Sand Bandits Legion has?"
"How many? Five thousand or ten thousand?" Clint did not hide his contempt for the sand bandits. In his eyes, the sand bandits were just a group of bandits with little combat power.
"It's 100,000! And this 100,000 is just the main force of the sand bandits. With the cavalry team that set up a robbery in the Storm Gobi, their total strength is at least 150,000! Do you want me to use 3,000 soldiers to fight the 150,000 sand bandits?"
The Storm Gobi is located in a remote area and the deep mines are unknown. It is almost like a useless person in the eyes of the Drog Kingdom. Otherwise, they would not have allowed this land to be occupied by sand bandits, and they even knew nothing about the sand bandits for so many years.
Upon hearing this, Caroline's face changed, but when she heard Clint's face angry, she said sternly: "Your Excellency, please do not lie about military information and exaggerate it, otherwise you will be sent to the Senate for trial!"
Ye Feng curled his lips disdainfully, called up the videos recorded by Longyu Beast's reconnaissance, and chose to share.
A magic light curtain appeared out of thin air, and the scene of the storm Gobi was switched to a glance as the picture moved.
There are yellow sand and gravel everywhere, and teams of well-equipped sand bandits galloping across the Gobi Desert. From time to time, they see caravans or mercenary rangers being washed away. Levels built by sand bandits with stones and sand can be seen everywhere.
In the central area of the Gobi Desert, a magnificent huge stone fortress stands like a giant, with flags waving on the city wall that spans more than ten kilometers, and arrow towers standing in a row. In addition, there are a large number of catapults that tighten the cables and maintain their shooting status at any time...
"General Clint, facts are better than words! This fortress with a scale of Fengyu City, named the Limestone Castle. Do you think you have the confidence to capture it with 30,000 troops?" Ye Feng looked at Clint with a dark face.
"They... they are just a group of mobs!" Clint's momentum suddenly weakened. The mobs could not build such a huge and magnificent fortress.
Ye Feng turned his head and looked at Caroline: "Your Highness, Princess, I hope you can order troops to wipe out the sand bandits, otherwise the sand bandits will launch an offensive, and the deserted town will definitely fall. At that time, Jora Simon can connect his legion from the limestone castle to the deserted town, and can threaten the southern defense line of the kingdom at any time!"
Caroline frowned with a beautiful eyebrows and asked, "General Clint, the southern defense line is your defense zone, what do you think?"
Clint bowed and said with a serious expression: "Your Highness, Princess, I am forgiving that the kingdom is very poor now, and there are not so many gold coins to support an expedition. Moreover, not long ago, Fengyu City and the royal city were invaded by the Dark Legion at the same time. Although we won, we suffered heavy losses. In particular, the Fengyu Legion was almost wiped out. In order to rebuild Fengyu City's defense, you just ordered to draw 50,000 troops from the southern defense line to Fengyu City..."
"You mean your troops cannot attack and cooperate with the Earl of Torba to attack the Limestone Castle?"
"Yes! Your Highness, the kingdom is very poor and the troops are insufficient. Although the Dark Legion has experienced a crushing defeat, they can launch an offensive again at any time. You know, those evil undead and monsters, their troops are dozens of times that of ours, and what they lack the least are soldiers who do not know fear. At this time, it is really not a wise act to carry out an expedition!" Clint said.
mlgbd, what a trash general, is just a foolish and incompetent coward with no strategic vision.
Ye Feng slandered himself and said in a deep voice: "General Clint means to sit idly by and let the gangs occupy my territory and massacre my people? Or can I understand that you represent the attitude of the Light Alliance, the Kingdom and the Temple have given up the desolate town?"
"This is the most appropriate way to deal with it at present. Even if the Sand Bandit Legion really attacks the southern defense line, relying on our unbreakable defensive front, passive defense is better than taking the initiative. Please forgive me, Your Excellency Earl!" Clint said calmly.
"You are such a wise general!" Ye Feng said sarcastically.
"The kingdom is indeed very poor!" Caroline looked helpless with a bitter face.
"Since that's the case, you seconded the Three Thousand Black Qi Army to me. They were brought back to the kingdom by me, and I am the honorary head of the Long family. They should be willing to fight for me, and I can bear their expenses." Ye Feng said.
"This is absolutely not possible!" Caroline and Clint were shocked and stood up.
"Why? With the powerful Black Qi army, I can easily defeat Jora Simon!" Ye Feng pretended to be surprised.
"You may not know that the Grand Duke of Holu has ordered the Black Qi army to be disbanded and rested. If there is no major war, unless the Dark Legion hits Leize City, they will never be recruited to participate in any battles." Caroline said.
"What's going on?" Ye Feng was confused.
"No matter how powerful the Black Qi army is, it will eventually die. In order to extinct their Qilin bloodline, the commander of the Light Alliance decided to let all the Black Qi army soldiers go home to get married and have children. Cough, you know..." Clint said.
"This... is such an extremely wise decision!" Ye Feng's black thread was all over the forehead.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Feng said again: "Your Highness Princess, do you know the Adelaide Prairie in the west of the Storm Gobi?"
"certainly!"
"Do you know that the Star Sword Saint Garrera has unified the Adela Prairie and established a city of Valentis, known as a free trade city. The tribal soldiers under his command were hundreds of thousands..."
"What?" Caroline was shocked again. The Light Alliance really knew nothing about the situation of the barren and desolate storm Gobi.
Ye Feng smiled faintly and said, "Don't be surprised, these are what my dwarf slaves told me. You know, slaves usually dare not deceive his master, so I trust him."
Caroline and Clint nodded, there was a soul contract, and if the slave lies, he would easily be seen through by his master.
"My dwarf slave also told me that Garrera, the owner of the Adela prairie, was preparing to marry his beautiful daughter to Jora Simon for marriage. In fact, Garrera and Jora Simon had already cooperated. The Sand Bandit exchanged a large amount of ore and gems for a large amount of war horses and armor from Valentis. If Garrera and the Sand Bandits rebel together, how would you deal with it?"
Caroline's face changed and she was silent.
