Norton explained unhurriedly: "Don't overestimate the enemy, and don't underestimate your own abilities. They won't be able to decipher our decision-making in a short period of time. If they act fast enough, they can catch us off guard."

[Obviously this is a military adventure, and our chances of winning are not great.]

"Then there is a chance of winning, right? Playing slowly and steadily is the best solution for the dominant side. The capital in our hands is not that much. The longer we delay, the worse it will be."

Tang Zhao was directly influenced by the dwarves. His thinking in this regard tended to be conservative. After all, the dwarves and he could not afford to lose. Compared to humans, they could not afford any losses. They must have been accustomed to choosing conservative plans.

[The risk is not small, but it is up to you to decide. I can only guarantee that I will fight hard.]

"Of course. After all, this is our war, not yours. In addition to courage, we also have other preparations. You will know when the time is right."

Norton was left in suspense. Tang Zhao was quite curious about this, but he didn't ask to the end. Anyway, he was going to find out soon. After everyone tidied up for the last time, they started to prepare to leave and implement the plan.

…

The news of the army's appearance in Driftwood Town could not be hidden for too long. Thanks to supernatural products such as magic and flying beasts, although the world is still generally in a feudal society, information transmission is much faster than in an ordinary feudal society. The eldest prince and

The second prince quickly received this news, but there is no efficient transportation method like the railway, and he does not know where Norton is going to attack, so he has not made any big moves yet, but has taken prudent precautions as everyone expected.

method,

That is to say, to increase troops to the land border and temporarily delay the opponent's progress, it was never expected that the opponent would have surface troops to transport troops.

Two days later, a large number of fully armed warships appeared along the coast of Yintao City. There were still a small number of sahuagins near the coast. Seeing this, they did not dare to attack rashly. They watched them calmly as they sailed towards Yintao City.

's port.

There were soldiers always on guard against the murlocs at the port, and they soon discovered the approaching fleet. However, seeing that the royal lion flag was hanging on it, they did not dare to take action directly. Instead, they sent two small boats over to check the situation.

As one of the potential heirs of the family, Norton is still well-known within the Castei family system. The port officer didn't dare to stop him after seeing him. Although he didn't know the origin of these warships, he was very interested in him.

In other words, the risk of offending the Duke's children is also very high.

The warship docked and landed, and the heavily armed soldiers swarmed out and immediately controlled the small number of port guards. A few people were still preparing to resist, but an unspeakable pressure from above instantly filled everyone's hearts, and their legs were directly

He collapsed and was controlled by the soldiers who arrived after him.

Tang Zhao, who was watching the situation on the mast, stared at the huge dragon in the sky. The dark green scales and the distinctive shape of the dragon's horns showed its identity. This was a green dragon, strictly speaking.

It is considered a five-color dragon and does not belong to the order camp.

The green dragon landed quickly after that and crouched obediently behind Norton, making his identity and position clear.

【Very interesting...】

After thinking about this behavior carefully, Tang Zhao could probably understand the other party's purpose - it was just for money. The Dragon Clan itself was greedy for money, and there were not many such examples.

There are many dragons who are young or just coming of age and have not accumulated much wealth. They will choose to become the mounts of great nobles or magicians. As long as you choose a good target and don't choose those old monsters, a person's life will only last a hundred years at best. For a dragon like this

For Immortals, it is "a period of time". After the owner dies, the dragon will withdraw a large amount of money from the inheritance, or simply take the entire inheritance for himself as his "commission" for this period of time.

Norton must have used similar conditions to find a young dragon to work for him. The strength and size of this dragon were obviously not as strong as the blue dragon he saw earlier. Tang Zhao didn't feel much pressure. It seemed that

He is an opponent that he can touch,

Of course, Tang Zhao did not want to offend the giant dragon. He lived long and held a grudge. Even if he was lucky enough to kill the opponent once, he might be sought for revenge for various reasons. Keeping distance from the opponent was a better choice, especially for the five-color dragon.

Even more so.

After taking control of the harbor, Norton took the green dragon without hesitation and marched into the consul's palace. Since Tang Zhao not only knew the consul here before, but also had many contacts, he did not go and instead chose to help the soldiers seize the city wall.

His method is to use psychic energy to directly stun the defenders on the city wall. Although it does look scary, it is actually relatively gentle. If ordinary soldiers seize the city, the defenders will definitely try to resist, and a street fight will be very troublesome.

The only effective resistance came from the officer at the gate. He was a fourth-level warrior. After killing five or six warriors, Tang Zhao pinned him down with his claws and knocked him unconscious. Other than that, there was no other chance.

Effective resistance.

This is the rear of the battle line. Most of the elite soldiers have been mobilized, leaving only some second-line troops to defend against the fishmen in the sea and maintain public order. Compared with the carefully selected elite soldiers, they are still far behind, let alone

Let’s talk about the huge difference in high-level combat capabilities between the two sides.

Norton and Tang Zhao both made good progress and basically stabilized the situation in Yintao City that day. Norton also used coercion and inducement to recruit nearly a thousand soldiers from the defenders. These people themselves were Cass.

It is not particularly difficult for him to command the private soldiers of the Dei family. Of course, he cannot expect them to fight hard and just pretend.

Driving the warships parked in Yintao City, plus the original fleet, the group of people sailed upstream mightily. They encountered some obstacles along the way, but they were easily broken through by the soldiers. After several days of sailing, they arrived at

Towns near the royal capital.

The confrontation between the two parties was to the south of the royal capital, and the town that Norton captured was to the north of the royal capital. The three parties were confronting each other. However, in fact, Norton's military strength was not enough to confront the other two parties, and the Guards had not expressed their stance yet.

Neither Rudolph nor Kane knew yet.

Therefore, although they were wary of Norton, they did not take him seriously and regarded him as someone they could win over, especially Rudolph.

He acted in a hostile manner, which he considered to be leaning towards himself, so he sent an envoy to have a secret talk with him that night.

However, Norton did not agree. He just entertained the envoy well and showed a rather ambiguous attitude, almost like selling for a price, which gave Rudolph the wrong impression. This was enough.

Norton arranged most of the things that night, and then began to wait for the opportunity. After Kane and Rudolph's troops conducted tentative attacks during the day, he believed that the time was ripe to launch a night attack.
