Chapter 143: The Army of Lords
"But I'm afraid that after this news gets through, that Doug Lord won't dare to fight. The Silver Emperor smiled bitterly: "Don't think that he is so arrogant in front of Emperor Shitian, he is really a brainless product." Actually, this guy is shrewd. He only fought battles that he could fight, and he would never dare to go to a battle that was both defeated. No matter how badly humiliated he is, he will definitely not be willing to fight his troops. ”
"Then tell him half!" King Lionheart said with a wicked smile: "Ten thousand black iron dwarves, Lord Doug can definitely eat them easily, and he can also seize a large amount of magic armor, which is a huge amount of money, I believe that guy will not be indifferent." ”
"High, really high!" Triple Father-in-law immediately stretched out his thumb and said, "In this way, Lord Doug will not only send troops, but also do his best to send troops, as long as he and Emperor Shi Tian are just facing each other, he can't help but be desperate!"
"That's right, Emperor Shi Tian is a hungry wolf, and when someone hits him at the door, he will bite off a bite of the other party's flesh before he dies anyway. Duo Lan also followed: "Anyway, if these two people collide, they will inevitably be turned upside down and both will lose!"
"I hope so!" King Lionheart nodded, and then said, "Then send a message to Lord Doug and tell him that Emperor Shi Tian has ten thousand gray dwarf warriors in his hands, all of whom are equipped with bronze-level magic armor. In addition, I hope that when Emperor Shakti's forces are greatly damaged, there will be new enemies who will trouble him and not give him any respite. ”
"Understood!" the Silver Emperor nodded and said, "Leave it to me, as long as Emperor Shitian's troops are greatly damaged, I will give him no chance to turn over!"
"Very good!" Lionheart then stood up and said, "Then that's all for today!"
Then everyone got up and left.
A few hours later, in Lord Doug's lordship, he was discussing with his followers about sending troops.
Suddenly, the beautiful blue-clothed female mage's expression changed, and then she spoke: "Someone just sent news to me that the rookie who offended us has ten thousand gray dwarf warriors in his hands, and they are all equipped with bronze-level magic armor. ”
"What? How can this be? Where is this army that a rookie can have?"
"Is there a mistake? He has 10,000 gray dwarf warriors, which I believe, but all of them are equipped with bronze-level magic armor, which is too exaggerated, right?"
"It seems that when we just finished the novice protection period, we had less than 5,000 troops in our hands, and there were only ten pieces of magic armor, so we still bought them at a high price. ”
Lord Doug also frowned at this time and asked, "Shui Lan, is the news accurate or not?"
"The source of the information should be very reliable, it was told to me by a very reputable intelligence trafficker. The female mage Shui Lan continued: "Listen to him, that rookie was unlucky, found a dwarf dungeon, and then took advantage of the drunkenness of the gray dwarves inside to easily capture them all, so he had so many magic armors. ”
"How can there be such a thing?"
"Sure enough, there are people who walk shit luck everywhere!"
"Well, that's a good thing, but it's not necessarily a bad thing. It is precisely because of these troops that that guy dares to arrogantly bark his teeth at us, and even arrogantly kill our messengers at will. This kind of self-aggrandizing mentality will ruin him sooner or later!"
"Sooner or later, just now!" Lord Doug slapped the table directly and said, "Gather all the elite main legions immediately, leave only the necessary remaining troops in various places, and then set off tomorrow, I can't wait to kill that bastard!"
"Yes!" everyone immediately agreed in unison, and then they departed to gather their troops.
In the end, only the female mage Shui Lan was still sitting in place, drinking black tea unhurriedly.
Lord Doug then said, "Shui Lan, how much will the death of your deputy head affect your mage group?"
"The overall strength has been reduced by 20%!" said the female mage Shui Lan with a sigh.
"Such a big loss?" said Lord Doug in surprise.
"The silver mage is an existence that can be used as the core of the magic array, and when he is there, the two of us can cooperate with each other, one is responsible for attacking, and the other is responsible for defense. But now, I am the only one who commands the huge mage group, so when attacking, I can't concentrate on defense, and when I defend, I can't attack. The female mage Shui Lan said: "I said that the combat power will be reduced by 20%, but in fact, it is already said that it is less. ”
"Damn!" Lord Doug couldn't help but regret and said, "I knew that the rookie on the other side was such a savage bastard, I really shouldn't have sent him." ”
"It's too late to say anything, so let's think about how to fight this battle. The female mage Shui Lan said: "I don't know why, I'm always a little uneasy, I feel that our rookie opponent doesn't seem to be so easy to deal with, and if you are not careful, you may capsize." ”
"Impossible!" Lord Doug sneered directly: "The Heavenly God Academy only accepts students once in five years, and I am a full five years ahead of him. And I'm still a real Angel Protoss, he's just a Nether Native reincarnated, so why should he compare to me?"
"This is also true, whether it is personal combat power or legion combat power, we should be above him. The female mage Shui Lan frowned and said, "But why do I still have a feeling of palpitations?"
"Maybe it's because you've just lost a friend. Lord Doug comforted with a tender face: "Shui Lan, don't think too much, go back and eat something, take a bath, sleep well, everything will be fine!"
"Okay!" the female mage Shui Lan nodded, then snapped her fingers lightly, and the next moment, her whole person disappeared without a trace.
Looking at the brilliance left behind by the female mage Shui Lan after teleportation, Lord Doug's heart was on fire, and the tenderness on his face also turned into greed, and he couldn't help but say to himself: "Shui Lan, you will be mine sooner or later, you can't escape from my palm." ”
Two days later, the flying carpet came to a halt in a canyon and unloaded all the reconnaissance troops.
The earth mage who led the team rolled up the flying magic carpet and put it away, and then ordered everyone to find a place to hide.
The terrain here is very interesting, with rolling mountains on both sides, which is difficult for troops to pass through, and there is only a relatively short gap for large troops.
After noticing this feature, the team leader in charge of reconnaissance decided to wait here.
Because if the other party wants to attack Emperor Shitian's territory, then the army will definitely pass through here, and they will be able to observe it at that time.
Sure enough, everyone waited only a day before they saw a cavalry force of 100 men rushing out of the gap.
It was a unit of human cavalry, riding a handsome, tall horse, wearing scale armor and holding a spear, silently advancing while observing from time to time to both sides.
It was clear that this was a scout force that had come out to find the way and find possible ambushes.
Emperor Shakti's reconnaissance troops were very careful, and they were several kilometers away from the gap, just for fear of being discovered.
In addition, they hid in advance, so they were not noticed by these obviously not very serious eaters.
In fact, Lord Doug was actually very careless, don't look at the scout troops he sent out, this is actually more of a routine than a serious reconnaissance.
If you really get serious, Lord Doug should place mages in the scout troops, and let the mages scan the ground with mental power anytime and anywhere, and sense the surroundings.
Scanning the underground is to prevent magic traps, and in this magical world, magic traps placed in advance can easily destroy even a force.
And the magician's sensitivity is particularly strong, and the scouts who observe them from thousands of meters away can also detect it.
If there is a magician in the leading scout unit, the scout of the Emperor Shi Tian is likely to be exposed.
But alas, Lord Doug is obviously reluctant to send precious magicians to participate in the investigation.
Because junior magicians have limited mental power, each magician can only support for an hour and must rest.
And before resting, they are also entitled to enjoy a good meal, which is the reward that the lord must pay.
As a master, even if it is only the lowest-level master, the treatment is not ordinarily high.
After completing the mission, the junior master can generally enjoy a tender pigeon, two fried eggs, one or two caviar, a meat steak, delicate white bread, a bottle of red wine, and some fruit.
On the march, it was obviously a very luxurious thing to carry such a sumptuous meal.
If it's just one or two meals, Lord Doug has a lot of money, and he definitely won't care.
But the problem is that when the magician investigates, he rotates every hour, which means that he has to provide such a luxurious feast every hour.
That's 24 in one day, and 240 in 10 days on the march!
This is obviously not a decimal number, Lord Doug doesn't look glamorous on the surface, but in fact, the finances are also very tight, after all, he has to feed such a large army.
So the place that can be saved must be saved, anyway, he doesn't think that the rookie on the opposite side has the ability to sneak attack him, so he simply omits the steps of the magician's investigation, thus saving a lot of money.
And this gave Emperor Shakti's scouts a chance, so that they could easily complete the reconnaissance of Lord Doug's entire army.
I have to say that Lord Doug's troops are really quite scary.
The lowest cannon fodder unit is 8,000 pikemen, and 8,000 sword and shield soldiers. Although they are all ordinary fighters at the black iron level, they are all equipped with half-body iron armor, and their overall strength is at the upper level of black iron.
There are also 6,000 longbowmen and 3,000 crossbowmen.
The total number of long-range troops is as high as 9000, and they are also well-equipped and well-trained.
As for the main forces, this is a total of up to 6000 cavalry, of which a thousand heavy cavalry, 5000 light cavalry.
There is also a group of 138 mages, which is even more important.
These troops staggered cover, focusing on protecting the thousand hovering wagons in the middle.
