Black Dragon Code

A middle-aged man wearing a leather armor is pacing on a city wall with a sword. The weather is still cold, but his forehead is slightly sweaty.

Joseph Luen looked all around, his face was gloomy, he was assassinated after the Battle of Kohor, but it was not a big deal. In the hands of a person with a special status, there will naturally be many special resources. Joseph had prepared his secret plan for a long time, of course, including the military force...In the previous years, he not only brought Virgia's guard Legion back into control, but also prepared several secret troops.

So the actual military strength of Vigia is quite strong, otherwise it would not be able to take Kohor overnight. In addition to the 50,000 conventional guards that meet the federal regulations, Joseph Luen also has his own Guards, intelligence system, Assassin Organization and a rapid reaction force, among which is included a Legendary monk, dozens archmage and elite fighters.

The night is very deep. Looking down from the towering city wall, Kohor is like a giant lying on his back, sleeping in the darkness. The streets and alleys in the distance are faintly showing lights and armor. The people looked down on the city, and the wind moved his dark gray cloak slowly.

"I heard that when Jon Arthur was alive, he liked to look around here and see his own city." Joseph said casually.

"But it is yours now." Compliment from the bachelor who followed.

"What's the new news?" Joseph Luen had no expression on his face. It didn't seem to make him happy to get the city.

"The raven was brought from Minn. Tashan has left the Razor River. Lords continue to join along the way. They regroup at the entrance of the causeway and are marching towards Kohor."

The Marquis turned away, his eyes were cold, his pupils were deep black, like slowly turning black holes: "Tashan's reaction was in my expectation. I sent a message to Orsay, asking them to pass through the coalition forces. The road-Kanster Canyon ambush, how do they respond?"

"Well...they haven't given a response for the time being."

"If there is no response, it means rejection. "Joseph gave a cold smile, "Presumably there is no news from the north right now?"

"You mean, the Black Wing Empire intends to abandon us?"

"Not so much."

The armored Marquis shook his head, raised his neck and looked out into the deep darkness outside the city: "Pipe, do I know what I saw? I saw the Trade Federation turned into a arena , Here, the Northern Empire and its opponents released the beasts they kept in their cages and let them bite and fight. I think Emperor Targeryan It shouldn't be let himself one less round out of thin air."

Compare us to a bred fighting beast? Bachelor Piper stretched out his hand and tightened his neckline: "My lord, I don't understand."

The Marquis lowered his head and stared at his hands without speaking, as if observing his palm prints.

For a long time, he said in a low voice: "The so-called gladiatorial fight is just two wild beasts fighting hard. This is not uncommon in Aradia’s no man’s land. Why are there countless people in the arena? Screaming hoarse? Because the two fighting beasts have been carefully cultivated, the owners have spent a lot of money to buy the cubs. During the growth of the cubs, there are servants responsible for the daily diet, spellcasters to induce bloodline for them, and a trainer to provide them. Fighting training, in order to let the owner have the boasting capital, even the fur teeth are groomed every day."

"The wrestling of the two beasts is actually the competition of the owner's financial ability behind them." Joseph summed it up and turned his head to look at the bachelor: "Pip, do you understand now?"

"Understood." Pip nodded heavily, sighed, and said, "We are nothing but They are the wild beasts in the cage, and they are the masters of aloof and remote. It’s really humiliating."

"It’s not just us, Duke Enfa of Minn and Grand Duke Cain of Alsay , The governor of the City Lord Elantra of Niice, or even Tashan, the so-called ruler of the whole world, who is not the same?" Joseph Luen's voice is far away and his words are clear: "If you are to blame, you can only blame yourself for holding it in your hand. Isn’t it enough power?"

"Oh, Piper, you have something wrong." The Marquis said softly, "We are not yet fighting beasts. I think the Northern Empire has been reluctant to release the signal. The reason is that we want to test whether we are qualified to be fighting beasts. It seems that we need to fight this war by ourselves."

The bachelor’s throat is dry, and his voice is bitter: "Ivigya strength of oneself, facing the entire central coalition?"

"Central coalition."

Joseph Luhn let out a sneered boo: "Tashan was swept away by anger Mind, rushing to Kohor to regain the lost ground, time is short, I am afraid that other City Lords will not join him so quickly. Now, we only have to face Pudasius’ troops."

He That’s right, although the Trade Federation is nominally under the rule of the entire territory, each City Lord owns a main city, several castles, and more than ten villages. Within their own territory, they have complete autonomy. , The dominance is no different from the king, even if Tashan is the head of the federation, he cannot directly mobilize the troops of other city states.

Although the current "Allied Forces" are many people, they only seem to be very powerful. Because no other City Lords have joined, this Legion has the rest except the army of Tashan Pudasius. People are not professional soldiers. In addition to the most unremarkable farmers and slaves, there are mercenaries and wandering warriors who are eager to plunder, as well as adventurers and Bounty Hunters. When Pudasius issued the summoning order, they followed Tashan’s little lord. Come to serve.

"My lord, what are you going to do?" the bachelor asked.

"Tashan, this idiot, bringing those useless guys will only mess around. Allocate a little force to defend Kohor. We head south along the causeway and cross Zedi."

Pipe hesitated: "Do you take the initiative to attack?"

Joseph did not reply, and continued: "After crossing Zedi, the cavalry went one step ahead and secretly detoured from the Talda business road to the rear of the coalition forces, while the infantry continued to walk freely. The main road advances from the front."

"Do you want to divide the troops into two groups and let the cavalry attack Tashan's troops?" Bachelor frowns said, seeming to disagree with this tactic.

"Pip, you are someone close to me, so you should know that we still have a third unit." Joseph Luen said, "Once Tashan knows the news of my departure from Kohor, Will lead the army to fight with our main force. There are Pudasius's spies in Vagia’s army, so he will bet heavy troops to ambush our cavalry, then it will be the chance of the poisonous snake."

" Let Tashan believe that we must send all the cavalry to Talda Business Road. This bait is too costly." The bachelor said hesitantly: "Even if you win this battle and repel Tashan, when other City Lord troops arrive, We don’t have the strength to resist them."

"This is exactly what they want. I guess when the other City Lord troops arrive, our allies will arrive too." Marquis holding a sword Resolutely said.

I'm lying. Joseph whispered in his heart that he was not sure whether allies would arrive by then, or even whether Vigia had any allies. Everything he said before was based on his own guesswork, without any realistic basis. But these words cannot be said. As a lord and commander, he must always show confidence and confidence. Otherwise, under the huge pressure of the trade federation, the Vige Runner may suddenly fall apart.

Joseph Run suddenly turned around and walked down the steps of the city wall: "Pipe, now give my order and tell everyone to prepare! Come see me when everything is ready!"

Emperor Targeryan, the beast in the arena, also has its own advantages.

Choose well.
