Alien Knights

In the soul space, Todd is discussing the details of going north with Rachel.

Rachel looked at the map of the northern border on the screen and asked her own question: "The first problem is reconnaissance. Because it is a long-distance raid and a large-scale military operation, whether it is a fleet sailing or a troop march, we need to know the enemy's movements in real time. So when it comes to reconnaissance troops, we need to prepare several fast boats and organize some scouts..."

Todd shook his head: "It's not necessary, I have a better choice, do you remember those griffins?"

"Griffin?"

"They are in the sky and can serve as the best scouts. And I can get the latest information from them at any time through the ability of soul link."

After thinking for a while, Rachel affirmed this idea: "Then, here comes the second question, what do you plan to do in terms of troop deployment?"

"I have already told the Muxi City cabinet that Brunhilde will lead the North Island Knights to participate in this battle."

Rachel raised her head and looked at Todd: "Brünnhilde? That Valkyrie of the North Island? I remember that the kingdom seemed to ask her to mediate the North Island dispute..."

Todd nodded: "There are several reasons for choosing the North Island Knights. First, the personnel responsible for the control and combat of the fleet this time need to be capable of both sea and land combat, and the North Island Knights are the best candidates; secondly, the head of the North Island Knights, Brunhilde, as the Valkyrie of the North Island, can assist in handling the work of the North Islanders in this battle; finally, the North Island Knights are familiar with the geographical and hydrological environment of the northern region."

Rachel looked a little worried: "But I heard that the North Island Knights have some problems with their loyalty to the Muxi Kingdom. Many of them even left the army privately and returned to their respective tribes to help fight."

"This is also one of the reasons why I chose them." Todd pointed to his head: "Did you forget that we just "rebuilt" Asgard, and we want to win the loyalty of the North Islanders. This is the best opportunity."

Rachel shrugged: "Okay, as you said, let the North Island Knights be the main force for this attack. So who are you going to bring with you in the camp?"

"Alfonso and the guard knights, I plan to let them stay in the camp. After all, the cavalry can't form formation no matter in the sea or in the city." Todd touched his chin: "I plan to bring all the warriors of the tribes, and of course the gladiators. Most of the slaves rescued in this raid on the ancient city are their clansmen and friends. With these people, things will be easier. Also, I will bring Vogel..."

Rachel was taken aback, and interrupted Todd: "Fogar? That Ulster's favorite! Are you sure?!"

"According to him, there is a Beast Breeding Field under the ancient city, which hides the biggest secrets of the Ulster Kingdom. If these secrets can be found and unlocked, the Muxi Kingdom can start cultivating the Beast Legion. This is a very important opportunity for us."

Rachel shook her head and said, "Even so, that's too risky! Can you guarantee that this is not a trap?"

"I know it's very risky to bring him along, but the secret of war beast cultivation is really important to Muxi City now." Todd persuaded Rachel, "If we can have this technology, Muxi Kingdom's military strength can be greatly improved."

"Deirdre stays, but I have to go!" Rachel straightened up and stared at Todd.

Todd looked at her for a while, and said softly: "If this raid is successful, tens of thousands of slaves will be freed. All affairs in the camp need to be arranged in advance. Alfonso is only suitable for the charge, Ackerman can only be in charge of logistics, and the others have no talent for managing the camp. Rachel, I can only rely on you."

Rachel bit her lip and said nothing.

Todd pretended to be relaxed and said: "Don't worry, if things really get out of control, Henry the Griffin will take me and escape the battlefield safely from the air at any time."

"You're just trying to comfort me, you're not the kind of guy who would run away alone." Rachel said helplessly, "The third problem is time."

"Once the first batch of combat troops land, the defenders of Gugu City will send out a signal, and the slave hunters stationed outside the city will immediately enter the city to support." Rachel pointed his finger at the city structure on the map: "Gugu City has only one gate, and our troops will need 20 minutes to reach the gate of the city even if they set off from the port. It should be noted that this is the result of no army blocking them. It takes one and a half hours. However, it only takes half an hour for the slave capture army to enter the city gate. Once the enemy enters the city, the difficulty of capturing the city gate will be greatly increased."

Todd waved his hand, and the image of the griffin flying in the sky appeared on the screen: "Ten griffins are currently available in Muxi City, and some achievements have been made in their domestication..."

The quick-thinking Rachel immediately guessed Todd's thoughts: "You want to use these griffins to carry an elite team and attack the city gate by air?"

"That's right, but the airborne squad can only have ten people, so this group of people must be an absolutely elite force."

Rachel closed her eyes, and shook her head helplessly: "Let me guess, besides those Valkyries with superb martial arts skills in Bei Dao, you also plan to fight in person, right?"

Todd smiled and nodded.

"Are you really going to do this? You have to know that once the griffin puts ten of you into the enemy formation, you will not only face the counterattack in the city, but also deal with the attack of thousands of enemy troops outside the city, and you will have to hold on for at least an hour. This is an act of suicide!"

Todd showed a calm look: "The airborne team attacking the city gate must have a strong force to quickly suppress the enemy. In this regard, no one in the kingdom is more suitable for this position than me. As for standing by and waiting for help, for this battle, you don't have to worry. I specifically asked the Muxi City cabinet to prepare a large amount of explosives and supernatural equipment, which can greatly reduce the pressure on the city defense."

"but……"

Todd gave Rachel a determined look, forcing the latter to swallow the words that came to his lips.

"You may be the bravest but also the craziest king I have ever seen. Even the King of the Holy Acropolis known as the "Father Lion" is somewhat inferior to you." Rachel sighed deeply: "I guess, even if I say nothing, it will not be able to change your decision."

Todd gently hugged Rachel into his arms: "Don't worry, I won't do things that I'm not sure about."

Rachel leaned her head gently on Todd's chest, listened to the beating of Todd's heart, and quietly closed her eyes.

After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes, lowered her head in surprise, and looked at Todd's lower body.

The latter was a little embarrassed: "This... I discovered for the first time that in the soul space, there are still things that I can't help myself..."

Rachel reached out and gently touched Todd's face. After a while, she seemed to have made up her mind, and pecked lightly on Todd's lips: "Come to my room tonight."

I know that if I only post this update today, I will be scolded to death by you, so there will be another update later.

(As for saving manuscripts and so on...it's all floating clouds)
