Chapter 187 Transformation

An important city and capital of the northern province!

On the Pamir Plain, confronted the Empire of Light for many days. Tiger's idea was simple.

Currently, the Pamir Plain is located in the north of the Light Continent. The northern end of the plain is Leiming City, bordering the Thunder Strait, and the southern end is two. First, we will deal with the main force of the Light Empire in front of us, defeat the only main force of the Light Empire in the north, and then go directly south to conquer the capital of the northern province, or Kaka City!

Second, bypass the solid line of defense in front of you, leaving tens of thousands of people to restrain them, and then lead the main force to move south from another direction to the west...

Tiger shook his head, the second method is simply a madman - bypass it?

He led hundreds of thousands of troops deep into the enemy. Facing the opportunity to fight head-on decisive battle, he went deep into the place? That was the idea of ​​a madman!

Tiger sighed while rubbing his temples that were already a little swelling and painful.

The two days were not going well. After winning the battle chariot for a while that day, the people of the Light Empire on the opposite side seemed to suddenly become turtles, hiding behind the solid defense line, and refused to come out. Relying on the deep trenches and solid village walls, as well as the defense line that dozens of miles along the archers, stone thieves, and spearmen hiding in the barracks. The coalition forces attacked for two days but could not open the gap.

What Tiger couldn't understand is that even when facing the strong Thunder City, his army could inspire the courage to fight. If the battle was so fierce, his soldiers would move forward bravely.

But now the situation suddenly changed!

Except for the strict discipline of the army of the Sauron Kingdom that he brought out, the troops of the other kingdoms seemed a little strange. They refused to take the lead in the fierce attacks of the past two days. Even though Tiger issued strict orders in the name of the commander, the commanders of those troops still pretended to be dead.

And those soldiers were even worse. They often stood still after running a few steps, and refused to take a step forward. Even if the supervisory team behind them held a sword to urge them, those soldiers would be able to dodge as slowly as they could.

Occasionally, they rushed up for a while and had no belief or courage to die. They fought for a while and immediately retreated. The first thing these soldiers did after retreating was to rush into the military camp and divide the spoils of other soldiers who died on the battlefield today.

Sometimes, in order to grab a pack of gold coins, these guys who are not enterprising on the battlefield will show their swords to their companions!

Tiger was extremely angry and ordered the execution of several people. After hanging his head out, it attracted dissatisfaction from the leaders of the army of several other kingdoms. These people accused Tiger of being selfish and being determined to let their troops die, but did not send the army of the Sauron Kingdom to fight to the death.

Tiger gritted his teeth and sent the infantry regiment of the Kingdom of Sauron to fight for the main force for a day, but found that the troops of the kingdoms that cooperated with the attack were still trying to make a contribution. In the end, Tiger had nothing to say. He angrily said: You just stay in the barracks and count the money! It's best to think about it. If you lose this war, do you still have the life to spend it!!

In addition, there is another sentence he has not said: The other party’s Thunder Whip has not appeared in several days! Don’t you fools doubt it?

Although Tiger was suspicious, at least he had not heard any bad news so far. In order to prevent the people of the Light Empire from making any tricks, he sent tens of thousands of small troops to move around every day, especially on both sides and in the rear areas.

At least the news that came back the night before yesterday was quite reassuring - last night, an army of 3,000 people in Goethe Kingdom was ordered to search and inspect everywhere, and encountered the other party's transportation team. As a result, both sides fought hard. The blood-filled deputy general made Tiger feel relaxed.

Because according to the reward of the deputy general, they encountered the "Thunder Whip"!

The officer who led the army was killed in battle, the army of 3,000 were defeated, and less than 800 fled back. Two magicians who accompanied the army were also killed in battle.

Although thousands of people and two magicians were lost, Tiger didn't care - at least, Thunder Whip is still here! He didn't run anywhere else!

Tiger repeatedly asked the escaped adjutant, especially the clothing, armor and combat power of the army that defeated them.

There was no doubt about everything - in fact, Tiger was relieved. Looking at the adjutant in front of him, he had already believed that the only one who could beat the Rolanders' army so miserable was the only Thunder Whip.

Although it sounded like the Thunder Whip that appeared a little less, it was said that there were only less than 2,000 people (in order to evade responsibility, the adjutant deliberately exaggerated the number of Olishe and his group.)

The news that came last night reduced Tiger's doubts a little bit again.

A small army of thousands of people sent out last night also encountered an attack. According to the reports of the people who ran back, the attackers of Thunder Whip was also the one who attacked them. The number ranged from about three to four thousand. The ambushed was in the southwest direction of his camp.

The Thunder Whip was found in the southeast and southwest directions for two consecutive nights. So does it mean that the Thunder Whip is nearby?

Tiger sighed, What is the Duke of Tulip doing? So a powerful army does not have to be on the front battlefield, but is divided into small groups of troops to go out to fight their own search teams??

Or…Tiger's eyes lit up.

Or is the supply of the Empire of Light insufficient? Duke of Tulip was worried that the small army he sent out to attack his transport team and sent Thor's Whip to escort the transport??

Thinking of this, Tiger laughed himself, it was ridiculous.

But didn’t the lieutenant who escaped the night before yesterday say that he saw the other party’s Thor Whip’s escort transport team with his own eyes?

Or maybe the other party transported from the rear not ordinary supplies, but some powerful weapon?

With many questions, Tiger sighed, walked out of the tent, and used the evening breeze to clear his already fainted mind. Looking at the defense line of the Light Empire people opposite, he muttered, "What is that Tulip Duke doing?"

What is the Duke doing?

No one knows, and even Zigg is not clear about this problem.

In fact, the location where Zieg is located at this moment is already behind the Rolanders on the Pamir Plain - of course, it is just much further away.

Zieg and half of the Wolf Tooth Army set off two days ago. Their goal is: Thunder City!

The 20,000 wolf-toothed army behind them were not wearing the standard armor of Thunder Whip. They were wearing standard Roland Knight armor, and they were also holding the cross-slashing sword of the Roland. More importantly, they were wearing not ordinary Roland Knight armor. The special color armor and the black cloak behind them all showed their identity - that was the supreme Sacred Knight Order of the Temple belonging to the Roland Continent! And what Zieg wore was standard, the armor of the real Roland Knights!!

In fact, Zieg also had some doubts in his heart. The fundamental reason for doubts was the strangeness of Lord Duke recently.

In fact, since the Pamir Plain had a head-on battle with the Rolanders' Holy Knights on that day, the Duke rarely showed up after returning to the camp.

Zieg, Miro and others all speculated: Is the Duke injured?

After all, I have fought for so many days in a row and fought with the opponent's Paladin and the Great Knights so many times. If the Duke has no injuries on his body, it would be too abnormal. Even if there is no external injury, what about internal injuries?

Others don’t know how powerful the Paladin is, but Zigg knew it. When he was in Thunder City, the Fielding Paladin who was sieging the city walls, he happened to meet Zigg. Frankly speaking, Zigg never doubted his strength like that time. In fact, Zigg’s current strength is almost at the level five warrior standard of the empire. But when facing that Paladin, Zigg only took the opponent’s three swords, and the three swords almost slashed Zigg to the point of vomiting blood. It seems that the other party has not yet tried its best. If the Duke hadn’t helped him take it, Zigg would have died heroically in Thunder City.

But the Duke is really injured? Even if he is injured, he should at least tell him? Even if he is worried that the news of the coach's injury will affect morale, then a few senior generals must reveal it?

The days in the barracks were really strange. The Duke's dozen personal guards were always guarding outside his tent, and the Duke gave strict orders. Without his instructions, no one was allowed to enter the tent! Even Sieg was no exception!

Although Zieg was a little confused: the dozen or so soldiers of the Duke made him very strange - some of them were originally soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Army, Zieg certainly recognized them. Just looking at the familiar face, Zieg felt a little weird: those people had changed too much. Although they hadn't tried it with their own hands, Zieg's sense of strength must have been greatly improved now - the warrior's intuition is very keen.

But Zigg didn't know the other personal soldiers - this was nothing strange. After all, they were Duke Tulip. It was normal for Duke Tulip to have a few special guards around him. Each generation of Duke Tulip has several guards brought from the family, such as the current Rand. Rand was originally a guard of the Duke's Mansion, but now it has been incorporated into the Thunder Whip.

But... a figure appeared in Zieg's mind: Yes, it's the blue-haired boy.

What's the name of that blue-haired boy... Well, Roddy. I don't know that boy. It seems that he was mostly transferred from the Duke of Tulips's Mansion, so it's normal that he doesn't know him. After all, I can't see every tens of thousands of troops. It's not a big deal to have a few personal bodyguards around the Duke... But...

But why does that kid always give people a strange feeling?

More importantly, the Duke only appeared once a day in the military camp, and was carried in the tent at other times. Even if there was anything, his personal soldiers would send the message - most of the time it was this Roddy who was passing the message.

And... well... by the way, and his sword. It was clearly the Duke's weapon, and it actually appeared in the hands of that kid. Could it be that the Duke gave it to him?

What is this kid's background? It looks like he is less than 20 years old - well, he can't he be a relative of the Tulip family, right?

At this moment, Roddy was about two hours away from Zieg. There were more than 20,000 cavalry behind him, also wearing the armor of the Holy Knights.

Their goal is also: Thunder City!

Kraft looked at the blue-haired boy beside him, but he was thinking about his own thoughts.

Kraft is 35 years old this year, and he is also an old soldier of Thunder Whip. But because of his temper, he has always served as the position of deputy commander in Thunder Whip. The army of the empire knows that the position of deputy commander is simply a decoration, and his actual power is not as good as that of a column captain!

After Lord Tulip Duke rectified the Thunder Whip, Kraft had the opportunity to take office and took the position of command with his own strength. Kraft was a very proud person. In the original Thunder Whip, he did not look down on the noble officers and never mingled with those guys. In addition to arrogance, there is a deeper reason: because Kraft himself is not a nobleman.

Because of this, Kraft looked at the nobles with his eyes squinted to those noble men - of course, except for the great Duke!

But Kraft didn't like this blue-haired boy next to him.

This kid probably came through the back door to Thunder Whip. Otherwise, how could he be the deputy captain of the Duke's personal soldiers at such a young age?

You know, it is already a supreme honor to be the Duke's personal soldiers in the Thunder Whip - if many cavalry captains can be transferred to become the Duke's personal soldiers, they would rather be demoted! This kid can be the Duke's personal soldiers at a young age - Humph, he is probably a guy who walks through the back door.

Otherwise, why wouldn't you be the personal soldiers of the Duke dare to mobilize the vanguard troops in combat? For example, the Wolf Tooth Army or other cavalry teams?

It doesn't look like he is young, but he doesn't look like he has great ability...

But whether it was Sieg or Kraft, who were dozens of miles away, they were absolutely obedient to their orders to lead troops to attack this time.

They all remembered the scene when the Duke summoned him in the tent before leaving...

The Duke's face seemed a little pale - this made everyone even more confused about the rumors that the Duke was injured.

Fortunately, the Duke seems to be in good spirits.

That night, the guards outside the tent were strictly guarded, and the Duke's personal soldiers strictly guarded the tent and did not allow anyone to approach. Among the tents, there were only Miro, Zieg, and Kraft.

Originally, at the level of Kraft, he was not qualified to participate in such a confidential military conference. Miro was the commander of the Northern Legion, and Lord Zieg was the deputy commander of the Thunder Whip. In addition to the great Duke himself, these three people can be said to be the three giants in the current Northern War Zone.

So when Kraft attended that confidential meeting, he was extremely nervous and excited. A big and thick man stood there and didn't even know how to let go of his hands.

A sand table was placed in the middle of the tent, which was vaguely the whole battle situation, especially the terrain where the two sides confronted each other on the Pamir Plain. A small red flag was inserted on the sand table, symbolizing the lowering of the Empire of Light. Next to it was a small black flag, which was naturally the Roland people.

Then the Duke inserted two small red flags behind the black flag on the sand table, and his tone sounded calm...

"There are two roads leading to Thunder City. One is the main road. When we retreated and the Rolanders headed south, they all followed this road. The other is the small road. Although it is not easy to walk, it is enough for a small army to pass. Your goal is Thunder City!"

Zieg and Miro's faces were calm, obviously they had known this plan for a long time. Kraft was a little surprised at the time. Although he hesitated for a moment, he still couldn't help but speak: "Duke Duke, can I take down Thunder City with my 20,000 people and Master Sieg's 20,000 people? I heard that the Rolanders had nearly 100,000 troops in Thunder City... and... we went around from both sides of the Pamir Plain, in terms of time..."

At that time, the Duke's expression was very firm. Kraft remembered that the Duke just glanced at him lightly, and then said, "Master Kraft. I know there are quite a lot of journeys. You go around the sides of each other's military camp and rush to Thunder City, rushing day and night. It will take about three days to rush with the speed of the Thunder God's Whip Light Cavalry... But I ask... no, it's an order! I order you to reach Thunder City within three days! In addition..."

The Duke's eyes seemed to gently swept over Kraft's face, and then said in a low voice: "For more than ten days in Thunder City, I have asked the Wolf Tooth Army to secretly dig an authentic tunnel outside the south of the city! Although the time is too short and the tunnel is not too deep or too wide, it is still OK to let one or two thousand people sneak in. I will hand over my personal guards to you, and the personal guards will enter the city through the authentic tunnel, and then strive to open the city gate from inside... and... can't my 40,000 Thunder God Whip can't beat the 100,000 mobs!"

Kraft immediately stood up straight and growled: "Duke, if I can't take down Thunder City, I, Kraft, will die there and never come back!"

The evening breeze blew on his face, and Kraft was jogging, unable to help but wipe the sweat from his head. He glanced at the young man with blue hair next to him, sighed, and couldn't help thinking: The Duke said that his personal soldiers would enter the tunnel, is this kid named Roddy so powerful? Humph... Judging from his age, it would be nice to be half as powerful as Rand... Alas, why didn't the Duke send Rand? But he sent such a boy...

But what Kraft didn't know was that at this moment, Rant was in the tent of the head coach of the Imperial Light Army Camp in the Pamir Plain.

Around the tent was a team of more than a dozen personal soldiers, including Olisech. Olisech was extremely excited. He had just transferred the Thunder Whip to enter the Duke's personal soldiers. Perhaps he had met those Duke's personal soldiers that night and accidentally told the Duke about his brave killing of the enemy...

Just looking at the companions around him, Olishe couldn't help feeling a little strange. These two people were seen that night. They still looked so lifeless, with the expression on their faces coldly like ice cubes. If they don't speak, they will definitely not say a word for a day. Even if they speak, the tone will look like...hum, it seems like parents died at home. The eyes that occasionally swept over can make people shake... a group of monsters.

And Carter is more uncomfortable than Olishe.

Rant was ordered to stay in the tent, wearing the Duke's armor and the Duke's helmet. He was ordered to pretend to be Duke here... Although this order was strange, Rant, who was loyal to the Duke, had no doubts - no matter what, since it was the Duke's order, he would just do it directly. Follow the Duke, there was no need to think about any questions. He would do whatever he said. Even if the master asked himself to ride a horse alone to charge against the hundreds of thousands of Roland's army, Rant would never frown!

But the only thing that made Rant feel uncomfortable was that the Duke's order did not seem as simple as imagined... Before leaving, the Duke explained to himself three words:
To be continued...
