When the two legions of Gangze were in a stalemate with Wood for seven days, Palu sent news of the crisis to Fire City and asked Wood for immediate rescue.
Wood frowned after reading this secret report. Gangze's reinforcements would arrive in Shacheng in two days, and Palu's army was not very large, with most of them being wounded and disabled.
Wood calculated in his mind that the reinforcements from the Mysterious City would arrive in five days, and if he started to attack now, it would take at least five days to feel the sand city. But at that time, he only had exhausted troops left, facing the three garrison troops in Gangze.
One hundred thousand, plus two hundred thousand reinforcements, how can we fight a war?
However, if all of Gangze's legions are led into the desert, just in time for the arrival of the mysterious city's troops, Palu will be rescued first, and then Gangze will be lured into pursuit, and the current troops will be used to set up the first ambush in the desert, waiting for rescue.
After returning to the troops in Palu, you can join up with your own troops. Then you may be able to counterattack Gangze.
Thinking of this, Wood hurriedly ordered someone to enter the military tent. When everyone arrived, Wood ordered:
"Everyone listens to the order and orders Rufu to be the commander-in-chief of the sect and command the army to continue to pursue the Gangze troops. After that, the mission order communication crystal is released. Other senior deacons, we are now going to Shacheng to rescue His Majesty Palu."
Everyone said in unison:
"yes."
Then everyone began to prepare water resources. In just a moment, Wood and all the high-level practitioners headed towards Sand City in an airship, while Rufu commanded the army to launch an attack on Gangze in the desert.
Although Wood and others are high-level practitioners, if they fly for a long time, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. However, it is different when sitting in an airship. This can greatly reduce the consumption of magic power or fighting spirit, and it is also very fast.
Late that night, Wood and others rushed to the vicinity of Shacheng. In order to prevent the airship from being exposed, Wood decided to fly into Shacheng and leave the airship to R16 for management. Under the cover of night, everyone fell behind the army of Gangze in Shacheng.
The night in the desert was very dark. In order not to be exposed, Wood and others could only fall behind the Gangze troops. After landing, Wood took out the sniper crossbow and observed the Gangze troops for a while. The tactics used by the Gangze army against Shacheng were just
Surrounding or fighting, after observation, it was found that the Gangze Legion's encirclement had two weaknesses. As long as they were mastered, Wood would definitely be able to successfully rescue the Legion in the sand city.
Then he ordered several friends to follow him into the sand city, while others waited for the attack order. After the order was issued, Wood and others disappeared into the desert.
Sneaking in the underground desert, Wood and others easily entered the sand city. At this time, the sand city was full of tired soldiers standing guard. When Wood saw their appearance, it was hard to imagine how much they had suffered in so many days. In order not to cause trouble
, Wood and others sneaked directly from the underground to Palu's command post.
This place is the city lord's palace in Sand City. Wood and others used their spiritual power to find Palu underground. At this time, Palu was discussing countermeasures with others.
A strange voice asked:
"Your Majesty, will Wood come to rescue us?"
Palu did not answer, but an old and steady voice said:
"Yes, Wood will definitely come."
This voice is very familiar to Wood. It is Sir Ma, the deputy leader of Shenji Pavilion.
Palu said with a mocking voice:
"Yes? If he would come, he would have come a long time ago. Why hasn't he shown up now? The reinforcements from Gangze will arrive the day after tomorrow. Wood will come to rescue us at this time. Please stop joking, okay?"
Hearing what Palu said, Shilong was angry and wanted to go out, but Wood hurriedly stopped Shilong, and then used a secret whistle to tell everyone not to move, and then heard Sir Ma say:
"Your Majesty, let's retreat! Under our protection, we will definitely get you back to the Fire City safely."
Palu said loudly:
"Stop talking nonsense. You were like this in Galen City, and you are still like this in Shacheng. I have already escaped once, and I will never escape again. If I leave, what will you do to these soldiers? They will come back to me.
Country, do you want me to just watch them die?"
Sir Ma then asked:
"Then what your Majesty means is that you have to hold on until you die, but will Wood's reinforcements come?"
"Pa" Palu said loudly, patting the table:
"I am the emperor of the Magic Empire. I am not a coward. Do you think I am afraid of death?"
Sir Ma said uncharacteristically:
"You have also heard His Majesty Palu's determination. Now that you are here, come out!"
Everyone in the room was stunned, but Sir Ma's words were obviously meant for Wood and others to hear. Wood smiled helplessly and then ordered everyone to go out.
When Wood and everyone came out of the underground, there was a commotion in the room, and then Wood and others saluted in attack and said:
"Wood (Shilong, Thrall...), see your majesty!"
Palu looked at Wood and others blankly. Although he reacted, Palu enthusiastically stepped forward and took Wood's hand and said:
"Classmate Wood, I haven't seen you for such a long time, you have grown taller!"
This sentence is a common saying, but this common saying also narrowed the distance between Palu and Wood. However, Wood still said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, I am cooperating with other members to come to rescue Your Majesty and request Your Majesty to prepare for the withdrawal of troops as soon as possible."
Pallu smiled and said:
"There's no rush. Come over first and take a look at the battle situation. Is there any possibility of our counterattack?"
While talking, Palu led Wood to the map next to the table. Wood knew what Palu was thinking, but Wood didn't tell him. Wood just glanced at the map and stepped aside. Palu asked tentatively:
"Is there any possibility of counterattack?"
Wood said solemnly:
"My wishes have already been conveyed to you!"
Palu was stunned and asked:
"Your wish? Uh! When did you tell me?"
Wood continued:
"When Brother Rufu went to Galen City last time, my wishes were conveyed."
Palu frowned. It was not that Palu didn't know about this. At that time, Rufu came to see him, which meant that Palu would hand over all military power to him. He promised to fight back against the three empires and regain the country. At that time, Palu was
It was the time when he was eager to make achievements. At that time, he thought he could do it, but he knew the consequences would be like this. Today, Wood brought it up again, and Palu had already made a decision in his heart.
Palu walked to the desk and sat down and asked:
"If you want to command the military, how sure are you that the restoration of the country will be successful?"
Wood said solemnly:
"100% sure!"
Palu's brows became more solemn. Even if he gave Palu another 1 million people, Palu was not 100% sure. Where did Wood get his confidence? This made Palu very puzzled.
In fact, Palu has not been a person who admits defeat since he was a child. His mother is from the Clark family in Galen City, and his father is also from the Clark family. Palu has been smart since he was a child. However, when Palu was sensible, his mother
Just tell him one thing again and again, don't show off your abilities. If you feel ready, become an emperor in one fell swoop. If you are not ready, you will be a useless prince for the rest of your life.
Palu never understood what this meant when he was young, but he suppressed it for so many years. Finally, when he was attending the military academy, Palu saw the excellence of Wood and others, which made Palu start to compare with them from the bottom of his heart, and Palu
I am very conceited and believe that no matter which mentor I am trained by, I will definitely not lose to Wood.
Speaking of that mentor, this is the source of Palu's confidence, because that mentor is the Fascist Edward of the Divine Grace Continent, Palu's uncle, and the former His Majesty the Seventeenth King of France.
Under the guidance of the Sith Majesty, Palu learned a skill, which allowed Palu to develop a character that is respected in the world. However, this character was hidden behind a hypocritical heart. The appearance of Wood made Palu
Lu couldn't hold it in any longer.
One night, His Majesty the Sith came to him and told him that nine people had been arranged by his side to help him achieve his wish. At that time, during the ranking battle before the start of school, Palu saw Ivan and others beside Wood.
9 people, and then Palu went to find them. As a result, Wood and others regarded Palu as nothing. This made Palu very annoyed and obviously even more angry. Palu's desire for comparison was born from that time.
Today, Wood stood in front of Palu and said that he was 100% sure of returning to the country. Palu's desire to compare began to get irritable. Why did Wood have such confidence but he did not? This made it difficult for Palu to make a choice.
After a long time, Palu said slowly:
"Wood, from today on, I appoint you as the President of the Restoration Army. You will be responsible for the campaign to regain the Magic Empire. If successful, you will be the greatest prince in the Magic Empire!"
