The army that had suffered such humiliation was obviously unable to continue its march, so Lord Doug could only angrily order to set up camp and then call a meeting of deployment.

On Lord Doug's ornate marching vehicle, there was a spacious meeting room, and he sat upright on the main seat, flanked by four silver-level powerhouses.

Originally, there were six silver powerhouses who went out with Lord Doug, but in the attack just now, they lost two silver knights, Dafeng and Xiaofeng, so now there are still four left.

Lord Doug blushed and angrily asked a silver knight next to him, "Why didn't your scouts find out about someone sneaking up on us in advance?"

The silver knight was a middle-aged man, and said with an aggrieved face: "The first wave of attacks we suffered was obviously a magic trap, how could the cavalry under my command detect it? Originally, when the army was marching, it was supposed to send a magician to reconnoitre, but~"

When he said this, the guy closed his mouth helplessly.

Because there is no need to say the following words, Lord Doug was reluctant to give the magician an extra meal when he was dispatched, so under the guise of letting the magician rest, he did not let the magician move.

As a result, now that he has suffered a loss, Lord Doug can't put the blame on his subordinates, right?

Lord Doug blushed suddenly, and then he could only turn his face to the Shui Lan mage next to him and said, "Shui Lan, are you sure we encountered a magic trap?"

"No, it's probably the kind of magic alchemy cannon that attacked us that was temporarily modified. The water blue mage turned pale and frowned, and said, "There are two kinds of magic traps on the other side, one is the bursting technique, which is used to destroy our levitating carriage and expose the grain stored inside, and then they are activating the acid rain technique and destroying all the grain with strong acid. I checked it when I arrived, and basically all the food that was exposed to the outside was completely destroyed. ”

"Damn!" Lord Doug slapped the table angrily, and then said depressedly: "How can it be such a coincidence? Such a large flat land, the other party buried hundreds of mines into a line, but we just walked on this line, and stepped on almost all the mines at once, what the hell is going on?"

Speaking of this, Lord Doug was also extremely aggrieved, there was obviously an endless open space on both sides, why didn't he walk in the open space on both sides, and he had to step on a string of mines?

The leader of the scouts smiled helplessly: "Although there are flat lands on both sides, those flat lands are potholed and not easy to walk. The road in the middle was very smooth, so I walked along the road before I knew it, and I ended up in a trap. ”

"I don't blame you!" said the water blue mage depressedly, "I just checked and found that this flat path is not naturally formed, but artificially modified by means of magic. Obviously, our opponent is a guy who is cunning to the extreme, and in order to fool us, he even built a special road!"

"Uncle's!" Lord Doug scolded angrily, "Who the hell is it, why are you so insidious?"

"Do you need to ask? It must be the target of our attack this time. Master Shui Lan said murderously: "I didn't expect that lewd man who looks squinting to have the courage to sneak up on us?"

"That damn bastard!" Lord Doug then gritted his teeth and scolded, "I must not spare him, he actually killed two thousand of my cavalry, and Dafeng, Brother Xiaofeng, that is my most trusted general!"

"However, we have lost our rations and our morale is low, should we continue to march and fight?" said the scout leader with a frown, "I don't think this is a wise choice!"

"Of course I want to fight! How could I be attacked by him and then retreat? Then wouldn't I lose face?" Lord Doug roared angrily: "That guy is just a lowly native, what else can he do besides sneak attack? This time I was careless, and I was taken advantage of by him." I'll get serious after that, and I'll be able to sneak up on him again?"

"This~" When the scout leader heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Then what about the military rations?"

As soon as he heard about the problem of military rations, Lord Doug immediately showed embarrassment, the number of tens of thousands of soldiers eating horses and chewing was too large, once the military rations were cut off, it would not take a few days, they would collapse.

So, Lord Doug turned his face and asked Master Shui Lan, "How much have we lost, and how much is left?"

"The loss is a little more than half, which is equivalent to 13 days of military rations and clean water. Master Shui Lan then said, "Counting the five days of military rations we have consumed, then we have consumed a total of 18 days of Dao grain and grass. And we've only been in for a month's worth of food, so now we still have 12 days of food left. ”

"Is 12 days enough!" Lord Doug immediately said with excitement on his face, "In five days, we can reach that guy's castle, I think we can break through in three or five days at most, and then there will be countless food to eat." We can even get a few days of rations. ”

"But what if that guy doesn't have enough rations?" said the scout leader with a frown, "You also know that he is a freshman, and he has only been building a territory for a year, so how much food can he produce?"

"You know what?" Lord Doug sneered impatiently, "Even if he doesn't have food, what if he doesn't have food? As long as I occupy his castle and connect the portal between our two places, I can get enough logistical supplies through the portal." ”

"This~" The leader of the scouts frowned, as if he felt that something was wrong, but seeing that his master was so angry, he was afraid of angering his master again, so he had to hide a trace of doubt in his heart.

But Lord Doug was already overwhelmed by anger at this time, and he didn't bother to think about it at all, so he directly ordered: "Rest for a day, continue the march tomorrow, and send a magician scout at the same time!"

As he spoke, Lord Doug looked at the Aqua Blue Mage.

The water blue mage did not hesitate, and nodded directly: "Obey, I will send the best magician at reconnaissance to ensure that there will be no more sneak attacks." ”

"Very well, so be it!" Lord Doug then ended the meeting.

After resting for eight hours, the attacked troops had a good meal, quickly regained their morale, and then set out again with a vengeful rage.

And this time, Lord Doug no longer dared to be stingy, and directly sent magicians to cooperate with the scout troops in front to investigate.

With a professional recon magician, the situation is very different.

Magicians can not only use their mental power to scan the ground and find magic traps, but they can also cast a long-distance reconnaissance spell from time to time to see the scene within dozens of kilometers around.

In fact, after the first successful sneak attack, Emperor Shi Tian tasted the sweetness and wanted to launch a second attack very much.

But alas, he found that he never had a chance again.

As soon as a small group of troops approached, they would be spotted by the mages of the people, and then a cavalry unit would meet them ferociously head-on.

Although Emperor Shitian's troops are powerful, they are only black iron level troops after all, while they are bronze level troops, and they have an absolute advantage in magicians and numbers.

Confrontation head-on is definitely the stupidest choice, and if you don't get it right, you will be wiped out.

Therefore, Emperor Shi Tian didn't dare to fight with others at all, and when he saw their cavalry troops from a distance, he quickly turned around and fled.

Fortunately, Crazy Iron Dog's mobility and endurance are good, and in the first ten kilometers, it can still avoid being overtaken.

In particular, the opposing cavalry troops must also protect their own positions and dare not pursue deeply.

Therefore, Shi Tiandi tried several times, although he was chased quite embarrassed every time, but after all, there was no firefight, and there was no loss.

And after driving away the sneak attack team several times, it only fueled Lord Doug's arrogance.

He felt that Emperor Shi Tian was actually nothing more than that, he only relied on a despicable sneak attack to win a game for him, as long as he met on the frontal battlefield, Lord Doug's army would definitely be able to win easily.

Therefore, Lord Doug immediately stepped up his march, marching for an extra hour every day, striving to reach Emperor Shakti's territory faster.

In the face of this situation, Yaslian once suggested that it should be tough and straightforward.

20,000 Black Iron Dwarf warriors, plus a 500-strong rune mage group, and a team of nine caveman archers, plus the three magical followers of Yaslian, Aladdin, and Bronze Dragon, will not lose to Lord Doug no matter what.

It has the strength of a head-on decisive battle, and the winning rate is more than eighty percent.

However, Emperor Shi Tian resolutely rejected Yaslian's proposal.

Because if he fought like this, Emperor Shi Tian would certainly be victorious, but he would definitely pay more than half of the casualties in the end.

The thousands of cavalry on the other side are not a joke, although the number of a hundred mage regiments is a little less, but there is one more silver-level mage as the leader, and the comprehensive strength is not much worse than that of Emperor Shi Tiandi's mage regiment.

In short, if you fight like this, you will definitely hurt 10,000 enemies and lose 3,000 yourself.

And Emperor Shi Tian was obviously unwilling to pay such a painful price.

Especially those dwarven warriors, once they enter the battle, as a melee meat shield class, they will definitely be the most damaged troops.

And in addition to being warriors, they are also the best blacksmiths, and each of them is producing precious magical metals for Emperor Shakti.

How could Emperor Shi Tian be willing to let them die?

If this precious logistics force was sent to death every time he fought, how could Emperor Shi Tian develop his territory and strength?

Yaslian didn't understand Emperor Shitian's refusal, everyone was going to fight in their lair, but as a result, you were afraid of losses and didn't dare to fight?

Emperor Shi Tian only smiled slightly, and then told Yaslian that he also had a new battle plan, which guaranteed that he could completely annihilate this army with minimal losses.

This immediately aroused Yaslian's curiosity, and she immediately said that she would wait and see how Emperor Shi Tian created this miracle.

After a few more days, Emperor Shi Tian did nothing, and let Lord Doug's army drive straight into front of his domain castle.
