Chapter 1208: Aimutu City
A few days later, the aggressive Duke of Nuches finally formally withdrew his troops. As one of the fortresses that many people originally believed that the most likely to be captured in this war, Duke Griffiz, who successfully defended here at this time, was also famous and praised by the people of the Holy Falcon League. Some even believed that the war that happened here might be the most outstanding front-line legion in the battle between the alliance and the Salanka Empire.
Amid these snow-filled praises, the old Duke Griffiz also showed his humility as always. In addition to saying that this military achievements were the credit of the entire fortress warriors in public many times, he also responded to the congratulatory letters of some noble lords, for fear of missing one or two, which would make people feel proud and arrogant.
However, on this day, when he was just halfway through his reply, he suddenly stood up, not caring that the ink slipped on the table, staring at his adjutant and asked loudly: "What did you just say? Prince Tyrris's legion is still fighting?"
Although he was startled by the Duke's attitude, the adjutant nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I received a reply from Lord Li Ying in the morning. I sorted it out and sent it. Judging from the current information, Prince Telreus was not only not annihilated, but also ten days ago, just as Duke Nuches was preparing to withdraw his troops, his side suddenly changed from escaping to selective attack, defeating several legions in one fell swoop, and was still fighting in the Salanca Empire."
"This~What is this guy going to do?" At this moment, the Duke of Griffiz suddenly changed from surprise to calm. After a long time, he said slowly, but his voice was as soft as he talked to himself.
As an adjutant of Griffiz for many years, this person knew very well that this adult looked like this. He usually only thought about something very seriously. So at this time, he stood by without saying a word, not daring to disturb the slightest, as if afraid of disrupting the duke's thoughts.
"Li Ying's sentinel, where is the last time he discovered Prince Telris' legion?" After a long time, the duke suddenly spoke and said to the adjutant.
After thinking for a while, then taking out the notes from your arms and taking a look, the adjutant also walked to the map in the center of the room, pointed to a place after careful confirmation and said: "Sir! Judging from the last information, the last time I discovered that Prince Telris's army was here."
When he came to the left back of his adjutant and followed his finger, Griffiz suddenly spoke after looking for a long time: "Give Li Ying the order to investigate Roaring Island as quickly as possible. I want to know whether the garrison in the Khan Locke Empire has any abnormal movements?"
In addition to being a powerful duke, this person is also a person who is very knowledgeable about war. After hearing Griffitz's words, he also asked with a flash of eyes and a little surprised: "My sir, do you think they want to attack Aimutu City?"
"This is impossible. Aimut City is a military city of the Salanka Empire in the shallow sea area." Seeing Duke Griffiz showing a default expression, the adjutant asked in confusion: "Don't say that there are heavy troops here, and what are the benefits of doing this?"
Looking at his adjutant, Griffith suddenly sighed and said, "If you can see this step, you will not be my adjutant until now. It seems that I have made great calculations, but in the end I underestimated the madness and ambition of this Duke of Terres."
Then he also took a step forward. After replacing the position of the adjutant, he pointed and said, "According to my order, if he just wanted to complete it, this person should be in this area. But at this time, he seemed to have no choice but to fight back, but the army approached the eastern coast that was not conducive to hiding and counterattacking. Why is this? Is all this really just random and coincidental?"
"Do you know why I could easily control him before?" After a while, the duke suddenly asked: "Including letting them capture the Lyon stronghold with more than 100,000 mad warriors, and finally asking them to defend here before the army arrives?"
After hearing what he said, the adjutant couldn't help but answered curiously: "Isn't that because he signed a cooperation contract with us?"
With a disdainful smile, the duke said: "In the face of war, any way of cooperation is just a piece of waste paper. What can we do even if we are the Holy Falcon Alliance? How many people did not work in the last war? Do you still have no idea? I asked him to go there before because he was in a foreign country. Except for our people around him, the most important thing is that his supplies are provided by me. Once I stopped his supplies, he would have to sit and wait for death."
"If he takes this Aimut City, on the one hand, he will take the base of the Salanka Empire to the Roar Island, which will make his power on the Roar Island safer." At this time, the Duke of Griffiz continued: "Secondly, he will take over this place, which means he will control his own lifeline. At that time, no matter whether he retreats or attacks, including material supply and transfer, he will no longer have to pass through our hands and have his own initiative!"
Hearing this, the adjutant suddenly realized, but the next moment he spoke and asked in confusion: "But does he have the ability to take over this Aimutu City? Although it is just a stronghold, the military heavy area of Salanka is not only very strong in its basic defense, but it has more than 400,000 troops in it."
Griffitz shook his head and said, "That's the past. When fighting with our entire line, they do not plan to go to Zhuji Island in a short time. After the troops are transferred, at most half of the troops are left there. If it is normal, even if there are only these 200,000 people, it is impossible to capture this place. After all, several military cities of the Salanka Empire are nearby, but at this time, the Salanka Empire retreats to recuperate on its entire line. If this duke really wants to fight his life, he will still have a chance to take it down."
Hearing Griffiz's analysis, the adjutant took a long breath while amazement. At this moment, he even thought that if this is the case, then Prince Telris might be their only force to take the initiative to attack and occupy the city of the Salanka Empire after this battle.
From being forcibly assigned a mission that almost died, to becoming the only beneficiary of this war, the adjutant couldn't help but feel stormy in his heart, but for the sake of taking full advantage of this adult, he had to bear to pretend to be a little unbelievable.
However, with the analysis of Duke Griffiz, including carefully verifying the location of the Prince of Telres, several times before this, the matter gradually emerged from the water.
But what was depressed was that even so, they knew the intention of this person at this time but could not interfere. After all, on the other hand, Prince Telres was also a collaborator on his side, and his mission was to help his side attack the Salanka Empire. You can't tell him when you are here, don't attack here.
On Li Ran, as the Duke of Griffiz, who was conservative and modest but actually shrewd and cruel, expected, with his small military strength and elite force, he first relied on the opportunity of the opponent's army to retreat and defeated several legions in succession, and finally cooperated with Yingbian and others who came to meet. After killing a Salanka legion, he suddenly accelerated to attack the Aimutu City.
In addition, when they arrived here, the defenders of Roaring Island over there also arrived under the leadership of Zhou Xun, Du Ruhui and others. A total of 35 large ships were loaded with soldiers from their own side, and expanded his siege to more than 400,000.
Without slogans, no compromise, no persuasion, or even no hesitation, just after obtaining this specific information, Duke Griffiz was still hesitating whether to send people to delay and dissuade him on the grounds of condolences, Li Ran had already directly led the soldiers to launch a general attack, and after three days of fierce war, he took the place.
When the news came, the entire Holy Falcon League caused a sensation, not to mention the stronghold commanded by Griffiz. The original revenge of the Salanka Empire was at this time because it was in the middle of war, fearing that it would affect its whole body for a long time, so Li Ran temporarily had a stronghold here.
However, at this moment, Li Ran did not stay here for a long time. After handing over the matter here to Zhou Xun, he also led more than 200,000 elite troops to the fortress and reported to Commander Griffiz.
Even though he was so cunning, no matter how thick-skinned he was, and when the location occupied was the stronghold of the Salanka Empire, Griffiz was embarrassed to ask for it. Even after seeing Li Ran’s arrival, the only one less than one million warriors in the fortress had personally led a group of noble lords out of the city to greet him, and his attitude was intimate.
When seeing Li Ran's return, especially after learning about what he did, all the noble lords in the fortress no longer dared to underestimate him, and some of the people who were still a little dissatisfied before were also very respectful at this time.
At this time, the noble lords present finally abandoned the sense of superiority in their hearts and recognized the strength of this prince Khan Locke, because they knew very well that if it were them, it would be almost impossible to escape under that situation, not to mention that they would have taken over an enemy city in the end. In the hearts of some people, Prince Telres had been compared with several of the strongest people on their side.
