Wood hurriedly went back to take the sniper crossbow. After careful observation, he found that the Gunze Army began to withdraw under the cover of night. Wood frowned. What was going on? Gunze not only did not attack but retreated. Could it be that Dick saw something? Or did Dick?
Is Dick getting timid?
This cannot be blamed on Wood for being confused, because Wood has been thinking about Gunze's next step according to Dick's thinking. Wood did not pay attention to other Gunze commanders at all, and Gunze's old commander was the one when Wood became a slave.
At that time, the old General Patton commanded the chariot battle.
This old Barton man is an experienced man. Although he didn't see Wood's plan, he came up with a way to use retreat as an attack. He retreated first to create an illusion, and then counterattacked through a secret passage. This way, he could have a greater chance of winning.
, but in Dick's eyes, a perfect plan suddenly formed.
Of course, Wood hadn't guessed this yet. Just when Wood was still confused, news came from the communication crystal. Wood hurriedly connected, and Shi Long's voice came:
"Boss, Gangze has retreated. Should we pursue him and capture Stromgarde by the way?"
Wood thought for a while and said:
"Wait a minute! Let's see what tricks the Gangze people are using?"
At this time, Wood felt that something was wrong. This was not a good omen. At this time, Wood was very cautious. Especially now, Wood could not make any mistakes, otherwise the entire army could be destroyed.
Wood subconsciously thought there was something fishy about this, but he couldn't see the reason. Just as Wood was thinking, another message came from the communication crystal, and Wood connected, this time it was Laura.
"Boss, give the order quickly! The Gangze people have withdrawn, they have already admitted defeat!"
"Wait a little longer!"
Wood kept an eye on the Gangze retreating legion through the sniper crossbow. For a long time, when the sky was getting a little brighter, the Gangze legion had completely withdrawn from sight. According to the march calculation, the Gangze people had retreated to Stone Mountain.
Stromgarde is a big piece of fat, and Wood wants to swallow it, but Wood thinks that this matter must not be simple. It stands to reason that the withdrawal of the garrison of Stromgarde is tantamount to abandoning this first defensive fortress in the Divine Grace Continent. After all,
What caused Gunze to retreat? No matter what! Wood took a deep breath and said:
"Send scouts into the fort to check."
The herald beside him gave the order, and a moment later several figures flew out of the sky, flying towards Stromgarde.
Everyone was waiting nervously. After a long time, the scout finally came back, "Report to the commander in chief that all the garrison in Stromgarde have withdrawn. According to the investigation, no Gangze people have been found."
And Wood went on to say:
"Send a scout group to follow the Gangze Legion; order to enter Stromgarde!"
The Magic Empire army finally entered Stromgarde, and Wood followed suit.
Wood is no stranger to Stromgarde. This is the second time Wood has occupied this place. The first time was with his adoptive father Gonzalez. At that time, Wood knew that according to the topography of Stromgarde, Stromgarde is located in a plain.
In this open area of Mapingchuan, Stromgarde can be regarded as a solid tower.
In terms of defensive power, Torrent Castle is one of the best fortresses in the entire Divine Grace Continent. Because of its expanded field of vision, you can see all corners of the plain and even all the conditions on the Torrent River Beach.
In terms of the location of the attack, Stromgarde is a huge garrison place. There is no problem in amassing 500,000 troops in this fortress, so this is a rare fortress city.
But with such a useful city, how can the people of Gangze just give up? What is the reason?
Wood was sitting in the command room of Stromgarde. At this time, Wood was frowning. He really couldn't figure it out. At this time, Shilong asked tentatively:
"Boss, have those siege towers been moved here?"
"Yeah." Wood nodded in agreement, and then Shilong and Laura left the room.
…
Deep in the stone mountain, Dick smiled secretly and said:
"Wood, Wood, no matter how powerful you are, you would never have guessed that when our Gangze Empire was mining, we actually opened a channel unintentionally, haha! You want to build a bridge on the rapids river, just dream!"
Dick looked at all the commanders and said:
"Old Commander, I'll leave the siege of Stromgarde to you!"
Old Commander Patton smiled and said:
"Don't worry! Our battlefield legion can guarantee that none of the garrison in Stromgarde can get out."
Then all the commanders left with a smile, and Dick finally thought of a way to defeat Wood, which made Dick's depressed mood very good.
…
Wood, who was sitting in the commander's room, really couldn't think of the reason, but the soul body that had been silent all this time came to consciousness and said:
"Have you encountered a problem? You should!"
Wood then asked:
"I just feel like there's something wrong here. Do you know what's going on?"
After a while, the soul body said:
"Since you have spoken, I will give you some advice."
Wood hurriedly listened carefully.
"This is within the Gangze Empire, not the Magic Empire. The maps in your hands were all drawn by scouts, but hidden cities or roads like Lakeside Town are not on the map."
Wood was stunned. Although he didn't understand what the soul said, the meaning was very clear. Wood hurriedly picked up the map and looked at it. In addition to the three official roads leading to here in Stone Mountain, is there any other way?
Wood observed very carefully, but did not find any information. But just when Wood wanted to ask something more, the soul body said first:
"The war is your business, not mine. Don't always think about asking me. You have the ability and wisdom. You must learn to tap your potential."
Wood could only shut up in confusion. The soul body was connected to Wood's soul. He knew what Wood was thinking, so he didn't ask. (Author's note: The soul body is right. Don't think there is a cheat and just rely on it.
He, because there are no cheats in life, a person's life still depends on his own efforts!)
Wood watched for a long time without finding any useful clues. At this time, Shilong, Laura and Martin came in. Shilong said:
"Boss, all the legions are transferred to Stromgarde. What do you think? Let's go fast!"
Hearing Shilong's words, Wood's head suddenly exploded. Wood finally understood what was going on. Wood surrounded Fort Strom with the intention of protecting the bridge project on the Rapids River, while Gunze abandoned Fort Strom with the intention of also building the bridge on the Rapids River. Wood
If all the legions are mobilized, wouldn't the Rapids River be an air defense? According to the soul body, if there is another road leading to the Rapids River, the bridge project will be destroyed.
Thinking of this, Wood hurriedly said:
"Quick, Martin, Shilong, you two lead your legion and follow me back to the Strand. Laura, you stick to the Strand, hurry!"
Seeing Boss Wood in such a hurry, everyone was stunned, and then went to gather the legion without thinking. But because Wood was impatient, he walked out of the room and flew directly to the rapids river.
Wood remembered one thing. When they were rescuing their adoptive father Gonzalez, a boat came slowly from upstream. Wood and others hijacked the boat before entering the Shuizhai military camp downstream. The boat came from upstream.
That means there is a dock for ships upstream. At this time, Wood cursed in his heart:
"Damn it! This road is actually a waterway. I didn't expect Gangze to open up the misty forest and lead directly to this rapid river."
That's right, only a few people in the Gangze Empire know about this path. If this path was really useless before, now, it happens to be the best route to defeat the Magic Empire.
Wood flew above the Rapids River. At this time, the army in Stromgarde had just been assembled, but before they set off, a scout hurriedly came back to report:
"Three commanders, the Gangze Imperial Chariot Corps has returned. They are moving very fast. They will arrive at Stromgarde in three hours."
Shilong screamed and said:
"What? You go to support the boss, I will lead the army to intercept the chariot army in Stone Mountain."
No one stopped Shilong because they knew that the Gangze Chariot Corps was invincible on the plains, but if it were in the mountains, the chariots would be trash that could be destroyed at any time.
After Shilong led the legion to leave, Laura took out the communication crystal and told Wood the news. Wood did not object, but urged Martin to lead the legion to the rapids.
Laura felt that the situation was serious, and she refused to listen even when Wood asked her to stick to Stromgarde. After counting the legions, she and Martin set off for the Strand.
At the same time, Wood had discovered the shadow of the Gunze warship in the upper reaches of the Rapids River.
