Chapter 373: Unexpected
; Ge said that Chen Jianjiji didn't actually have any conspiracy, he just wanted to keep his own strength secret.
Unlike Corum, Chen Jian himself did not realize that the army he had formed was far more deterrent than he thought, and he did not expect that the public opinion offensive he had formulated would be even more effective than he expected.
It wasn't until after the surrender of Korum that Jian Chen carefully analyzed the reasons and motives for the other party's surrender, and he found that his army, placed on the powerful continent of Erathia, may not be nothing, but it is more than enough to deal with those small lords on Soloju Island.
Castro is not a Krum, this kind of veteran lord, he will not play any pre-battle surrender and other bridges, if they find that Chen Jian's strength is strong, it is difficult for him to resist the enemy, and there is a good chance that he will run.
In fact, at the beginning, Corum also had the idea of escaping, but when he discovered Jian Chen's true strength, it was a little too late, and his own foundation was poor, so he gritted his teeth and surrendered.
Jian Chen didn't want Castro to run away, this poison leader was quite famous on the Solo Peninsula. If he can be killed on the spot or captured alive, although he will expose his strength to other lords, on the other hand, it can greatly increase his influence in the hearts of the people of the Solo Peninsula and fundamentally shake the foundation of these small lords.
After careful weighing, Chen Jian, who had a new understanding of his military strength, finally decided that this battle would not only annihilate Castro's main force. It is also necessary to kill Castro directly, and if you can, it is better to capture him alive.
In this way, he could not expose his true strength to the enemy too early, so as not to scare the enemy away, so Chen Jian simply sent a special force led by Esrena and Choodoras to massively intercept and kill the enemy's scouts during the march.
This special force is mainly composed of the angel clan and the dragon clan, supplemented by other flying troops, Chen Jian used almost half of the flying troops in his hand to carry out this operation, and the harpy scouts sent by Castro are against the strong fighting races like angels and dragons, and the speed of escape is not enough, the battle is boring for itself, in addition to death, it can only surrender obediently.
Even the five red dragons were first entangled and unable to get out, and then they were surrounded by the angel clan and the dragon warriors who rushed to the city, three of which were persuaded to surrender by Choodoras, and two were killed on the spot.
As a result, it wasn't until Chen Jian and his army entered the monitoring range of the magician magic eye in Castro's army, and Castro couldn't fully figure out the true strength of Chen Jian's army.
Knowing from the magician that the attacking Arthur army was only more than 30,000, including less than 30 dragons, Castro was a little relieved, Arthur showed the same strength as he originally estimated, Arthur really could not master all the troops, otherwise, he could bring more troops.
It can be seen from this that the combat effectiveness of the opposing army should not be very strong, as long as he can defeat his descendants, then the rest of the soldiers should not be worried.
"Are there cavalry?" After thinking about it, Castro was a little uneasy, and stared at the magic screen for a while, but he didn't find it, and the qi magic master also shook his head: "Lord Earl." There are no cavalry, it seems that the rumors are false! ”
Castro stared at the screen for a while, with wide eyes open, "If only I could get closer, I wouldn't be able to see their equipment clearly!" At this time, one of his favorite grandsons, named Vincent, who was standing next to Castro, smiled and said, "Grandpa, you are too careful, aren't you?" Still concerned about their equipment, you want me to see that this Arthur is a fool, you look at the formation of his army. It's a mess, it's a complete rabble, what's so hard to beat them? No matter how well equipped such an army is, its combat effectiveness is limited! Let's fight! I'll let them know that they've provoked the wrong enemy! Going against us would be the worst decision that the guy named Arthur could have made. ”
Vincent was the best young man of his generation in Castro's family, and he was well versed in battle. He has followed Castro on many expeditions and made many achievements, and recently there have been rumors in the family that Vincent is the heir of Castro.
When Vincent said this, Castro was also a little relaxed, because judging from the picture monitored by the magic, the formation of the Arthurian Army was indeed very unpresentable, or rather, they did not have a formation at all, but just swarmed forward, chaotic.
Looks like I've been a little nervous by the scouts! Castro laughed at himself in his heart, and then ordered the whole army to go out to meet him.
With Castro's orders, his army began to move. In this battle, the strength of the two sides was similar, but Castro and his generals believed that in terms of combat effectiveness, their side was far superior to their opponents, and even the number of dragons was their own advantage.
And there are three magic masters in Castro's army to help, one, the qi system, one water system, and one earth system, all of which were brought out by Castro this time, and Castro is also a little confident in fighting for magic power.
Castro is not satisfied, by the dry! Before the scout incident, the card pong deceived and scared, and it was a little low.
Soon after, Castro's army poured out of his nest and lined up in a huge clearing in front of the barracks, ready to face the imminent adversary, which was Castro's chosen battlefield. He is going to be here to completely defeat the Arthur who dared to provoke him.
According to Castro's orders, Field has been observing his opponent's every move with his magic eyes, this task is a bit boring, because Field thinks that such an enemy has nothing to worry about, although he doesn't know what the other party has done to leave so many scouts on his side, but when it comes to the battlefield, everything still has to speak with strength and decide the outcome of a war. In the end, it must be a showdown between the main forces of the two sides. And not those scouts fighting each other.
Just thinking about these messy things, Field noticed that the enemy army on the screen suddenly stopped, and the flying troops above also heard the roar of the dragon, it seemed that the enemy had entered their field of vision, at this time it was close to noon, the snow had stopped, although the sky was still gloomy, but the vision was good.
And with the roar of the dragon, a large group of harpy banshees also rushed out, and they were ordered to spy on the enemy's reality, and at this point, the enemy must no longer hide it.
Field whispered to Castro about the situation. Then he moved his gaze to the magic screen again, watching the enemy's movements, only to find that the magic of the magic seemed to be suddenly out of control. The magic screen shook a few times before his eyes. Gone.
"What's going on?" Field was a little dumbfounded, how could this magic that he was too skilled to be proficient to become more proficient suddenly fail as if it had been disturbed by some kind of interference?
He unbelieving in evil cast his magic again. The magic screen reappeared, but when he moved the screen to the direction where Arthur's army had just been, the magic was disabled again.
As the magic screen dissipated again, Field couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
He tried a few more times, and without exception, the scene only moved to the direction where Arthur's army was. It would be immediately ineffective, and this strange situation caused beads of sweat to begin to form on Field's head.
At this time, everyone around also noticed the strange behavior of this magic master, and everyone wondered why Field was hurriedly casting the magic vision, but the other two magicians glanced at each other, and their faces changed slightly.
"Impossible! That's impossible! Field finally couldn't help but scream, "There's no way my magic will fail!" What is it that affects my magic? Everyone looked at each other, and Castro also frowned and looked at this qi magic master. I was about to ask what was going on. A harpy landed in front of everyone in a hurry, and reported to Caxintro in a trembling voice: "My lord, not far behind the enemy's infantry cluster, there are a large number of cavalry cavalry following! There are also hundreds of warriors of the Heavenly Angel Clan! ”
"What? Cavalry? Angels? Castro was so shocked that he couldn't bother to ask what had happened to Field, and turned his head to glare at the harpy, "Are you sure?" ”
"Sure!" The harpy nodded heavily, her face pale, a large group of sisters had just gone out, and she was the only one who came back. The rest all died by the sword of those angels. If she hadn't seen the opportunity early, and those angels hadn't chased after her, she was afraid that she wouldn't have been able to come back.
The Harpy's report made everyone look at each other again. Castro turned his head angrily and glared at Field, and was about to ask the other party why the Magic Eye did not find the existence of the enemy cavalry and the angel clan, but found that the faces of the three magicians, including Boffield, changed color in unison.
"Not good! Let's get ready! One of the mages whispered to Field and the other mage, then looked back at Castro, "The enemy mages have begun to prepare advanced large-area attack magic!" Prepare to attack, my lord! We'll do our best to intercept enemy magic! ”
The magician's voice was a little bitter, because he had already sensed the fluctuation of the magic element coming from a distance, and there were also three master-level magicians on the other side. And the strength of one of the fire mages was even more astonishing, and the degree of intense fluctuations in the fire elements he caused far exceeded the level that a master fire mage should have.
Could it be a grandmaster-level fire magician? If so, will the three of them be his opponents?
With this frightened thought, the magician waved his wand and began to chant incantations aloud.
At this moment, he has no other choice but to fight against the water.
From the solemn expressions on the faces of the three magicians. Coupled with the Harpy's previous reward, Castro finally realized that things were moving towards something that was completely beyond his expectations.
(I have a cold, I am dizzy, and I have a hard time writing, so forgive me!) )
