"I understand, Marshal." Calasias said: "The geographical conditions of Baishuang City are too special. It is built on the mountainside. Although we have the advantage of the magic rock thousand crack cannon, they are condescending and it is difficult to use our advantage. Still
The White Frost City was built for survival, not development. Before, I thought that their fortifications were old and might be difficult to repair and maintain, but the actual situation is better than I thought. The spies I sent out these days heard about a group of magic unions.
The people are improving the magic fortifications up and down the White Frost City, and the situation is becoming more and more favorable to them."
"What new information is there?" Fried asked.
Berwick said: "The latest intelligence has clarified why the fourth black dragon participated in this war. The reason is very simple and ridiculous, because the fourth black dragon is originally from Midgart."
Fried frowned and said solemnly: "It is not ridiculous for a person to love and serve his motherland."
"Yes." Beric quickly suppressed his light smile, although there was still disdain for this matter in his eyes. He continued: "From the battlefield, the fourth black dragon and his Dark Dragon
It is the big trouble for our army to capture Baishuang City. As for the other enemy generals, except for the dwarf Hushan who is a bit troublesome, the strength of the others is average, but Hushan is not a big problem. The ones who are more troublesome are those from the Magic Guild.
They are just helping to improve the fortifications, but they don’t know how deeply they will be involved in this, and they don’t know what their strength is. They haven’t figured out their background... In fact, it doesn’t matter whether they understand the details, as they can get rid of the most powerful ones in one fell swoop.
Okay, I'm just worried that if these people are too strong, they will be a hidden danger for us."
Fried asked: "Aren't there any new clues about these people?"
Beric shook his head: "Except for Edric Pat and some unimportant people whose identities have been identified, there are several people whose identities are still unknown. According to the information, strict magic fortifications have been established inside and outside Baishuang City. If there is a strong attack,
Our losses will be huge. I just discussed with Calasias and are preparing to submit a report to the marshal to apply for the use of a liquid source limit device. But..."
"But what?"
Beric said: "The arrival at Hoarfrost City is our first tough battle. To use such a precious item as the liquid source limiter at this time, I always feel... not good."
"I understand what you mean." Fried said: "You think that the war has just begun and using the liquid source limiter when encountering any difficulties will make the army overly dependent and lose the courage to fight a tough battle."
"That's what my subordinate means."
Fried thought for a while and did not immediately give an answer whether to use the limiter device.
Seeing that the marshal and Beric were both silent, Calasias said: "Marshal, I think we need to capture Hoarfrost City as soon as possible. The Storm Kingdom and the Rhine Kingdom have sent troops to help, and there are not many generals. But if this drags on, the Storm, Rhine Kingdom will
Even if other countries think they can repel or defeat us, they may not send more personnel to join the war. Then the situation will not be good. We have limited troops and long supply pressure, so the risks are very high."
Fried glanced at him: "Go on."
Calasias said: "Without considering the limiter, we have two options now. First, persuade the Storm Kingdom and the Rhine Kingdom to withdraw their troops, and we will take down the Midgard Kingdom alone. This is also the case for you, Marshal.
The initial plan; second, expand the scope of the war to include the Storm Country and the Rhine Country in the annexation plan. But in this way, the three countries will inevitably form a life-and-death alliance and fight us with all their strength."
Freed walked to the sand table with his hands behind his back: "I have thought about everything you said. I sent the demon thief Abz and the little demon mage Donovan to the Hill Country to conclude a peace treaty last night.
According to the news, the monarch of the hill country has tentatively agreed to conclude peace."
Beric showed a hint of surprise: "So fast, Donovan and the others left very quickly. Although it was expected, I was surprised that the Hill Country agreed so easily without making any difficulties at all.
?"
Fried said: "There are some objections to the details of the treaty, but it is not a big problem. The Hill Country can maintain peace with us, which relieves us of some worries. I have sent envoys on the way to you.
Let the Storm Country and the Rhine Country hope to persuade them to withdraw their troops and not get involved in this war."
"It is best to achieve the goal without fighting." Berwick said: "With the precedent of the Hill Country, it is not impossible."
"So are we going to rest these days and wait for news?" Calasias asked.
Fried waved his hand and said: "We can't wait. Diplomacy requires both kindness and force, and both carrots and sticks must be in hand to scare others and make them surrender. Let the soldiers rest well today and destroy the city tomorrow!"
Calasias was stunned, seeing that the Generalissimo said the words of destroying the city, he must have made up his mind.
…
There is a tense scene in Hoarfrost City. Construction is going on and preparations are being made for war. No one is idle. Even Her Majesty the Queen of Midgard did not stay in Hoarfrost Upper City. Instead, she came with members of the royal family.
He went down to the city in person to express condolences and encourage the officers and soldiers and the people who assisted the soldiers in defending the city.
The Queen of Midgard is a woman who is nearly 45 years old. Today she is not wearing her gorgeous clothes. Instead, like the soldiers, she is dressed in velvet armor, with a war robe on her shoulders and a sword on her waist. Even her armor and sword are
It looks a bit old, not because of poor maintenance, nor because it has not been used for many years. On the contrary, this armor is worn out due to too frequent use. Only the golden crown is on the queen's black hair.
It shows her noble status as a king. If not, others would think that she is a fierce female general on the battlefield.
After the queen visited the soldiers guarding the city, she asked the female guard beside her: "Where is the fourth black dragon?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In a small house, with yellowing wallpaper on the wall and smoke-filled room, the fourth black dragon was lying shirtless on a pearwood sofa with holes, his hands
Li Diao took a sip of a cigarette, then picked up the whiskey on the table next to the sofa and took a big sip. It took him a long time to exhale the smoke. If anyone saw his body at this time, they would definitely be frightened.
The new injuries on his body were wrapped with gauze. The old injuries were not counted. There were many steel nails nailed to his chest. If you look closely, there seemed to be metal brackets embedded under the skin of the steel nails. His arms were gone and replaced by a pair of steel nails.
A black metal arm. Logically speaking, his knightly abilities wouldn't hurt him so much. If he could cause such damage, there must be another reason behind it.
The door knocks.
"Come in."
The door opened.
"Is it Her Majesty the Queen?" The fourth black dragon got up from the sofa and slowly put on his clothes: "I'm sorry, the smell of smoke is choking you."
"It doesn't matter." Queen Midgart wanted to hold her breath and not smell it, but obviously she couldn't. She coughed twice and said, "I should have come to see you a long time ago. Thank you for what you have done for Midgart these days.
everything of……"
The fourth black dragon dressed neatly, put on his sunglasses again, looked at the female guards and officials around the queen, and said: "It's too early to say thank you, Your Majesty. The enemy has not retreated, and Baishuang City is still in danger."
The Queen of Midgard looked at him blankly.
"What's wrong?"
The Queen came back to her senses and said: "It's okay, I'm surprised that the fourth Mr. Black Dragon has such injuries." She added: "Why does Mr. Black Dragon live here? I can arrange a better place for you?"
"No, I like it here."
The Queen of Midgard waved her hand and asked the people around her to go out. She walked to the center of the room and said, "Won't you invite me to sit down?"
The fourth black dragon made a sign of please.
After the queen sat down, she said: "Speaking of which, I didn't know until now that the fourth black dragon was from Midgart. If I had known earlier, I would have sent someone to ask him to return to China earlier."
"I left here when I was a teenager, and I have never mentioned it to anyone. Isn't it strange that no one knows." The fourth black dragon put his elbows on his legs and leaned forward and asked: "Your Majesty, why don't you come to my place?"
Come and talk to me about homely things, okay?"
The Queen said bluntly: "I am here to ask you if you know anything about the invaders on the other side? You are famous in the world, do you know the details of those pirates?"
"I've heard of it, but I don't know anything about it." The fourth black dragon answered simply.
"Then what do you think our chances of winning this war are?" Obviously this is the question that the Queen is most concerned about.
The fourth black dragon thought deeply and said, "Your Majesty shouldn't ask me this question, right?"
The queen said: "A powerful person can always see more truly and thoroughly. I know my country well, but I don't know the other side, so I want to hear your opinion."
The fourth black dragon pondered for a long time and said what was in his heart: "The odds of winning are not good."
The queen looked dim and said with a hint of disappointment: "Is that really the case?"
The fourth black dragon said: "I see that the army on the opposite side marches closely and has a very high quality. The people leading the army are not bandits, but professional soldiers. Isn't it rumored in the city that the commander of the army on the opposite side was the leader of the Holy Demon Battle two years ago?
The missing Kia Freed? The troops he commanded would never come from the west of the desert just because their heads were hot. Since they led the troops here, they must have had detailed plans and purposes, and had sufficient considerations.
Decided to invade. Since he came prepared, he will not fail to calculate Midgard. Therefore, in this battle, the possibility of successfully defending White Frost City and defeating the enemy is very low."
The queen was a little unhappy and could not speak for a long time. Obviously she came to seek ways to defeat the enemy, not to listen to some words that the enemy was invincible.
The fourth black dragon said: "Maybe I have offended you, what I said is just my personal opinion."
The Queen said: "I know that the fourth black dragon, Mr., is the deputy leader of the Dragon Kingdom mercenary group. I don't know if the members of the Dragon Kingdom can come to help me. I will definitely thank them deeply."
The fourth black dragon tilted his head, considered it over and over again, and said: "To tell you the truth, the reason why I came here is because there are some things happening within the mercenary group. I don't want to get involved in those things, so I
Come here to take shelter. Sorry, I don’t think they can help you, Your Majesty.”
The queen stood up helplessly and said: "Okay, I understand. Thank you, I still appreciate your contribution to Midgart. Now the country needs you, and I hope Mr. Fourth Black Dragon can contribute to Midgart again."
"
The fourth black dragon politely sent her away. He stood at the door and breathed a sigh of relief. After closing the door, he stared thoughtfully into the room. He smiled softly for a while, shook his head and went to get his wine bottle.
