A middle-aged man in leather armor was walking on the wall with a sharp sword. It was still cold, but his forehead was sweating slightly.


    Joseph roon looked around with a gloomy face. He was assassinated after kohall''s war, but it didn''t matter. In the hands of a person with special status, naturally, there would be many special resources. Joseph had prepared for his original plan secretly for a long time, including force... In many years before, He not only regained control of Virginia''s Guard Corps, but also prepared several secret forces.


    Therefore, Virginia''s actual military force is quite strong, otherwise it can''t win kohall overnight. In addition to the 50000 regular guard force in line with federal regulations, Joseph roon also has his own guards, intelligence system, killer organization and a rapid response force, including a legendary monk, dozens of mages and elite soldiers.


    The night was very deep. Looking down from the towering city wall, kohor city was like a lying giant sleeping in the darkness. Some lights were faintly seen in the streets in the distance. The armored man looked down on the city, and the wind pulled his dark gray cloak and fluttered slowly.


    "It is said that when Jon Arthur was alive, he liked to look out here and see his own city," Joseph said as if carelessly.


    "But it''s yours now," said the bachelor who followed.


    "What''s new?" there was no expression on Joseph roon''s face. Getting the city didn''t seem to make him happy.


    "The Raven was brought from mien. Tashanmu has left the razor river. Lords continue to join along the way. They reorganize their troops at the causeway crossing and are moving towards kohor."


    The Marquis turned away, his eyes were cold, and his pupils were deep black, like a slowly rotating black hole: "tashanmu''s response was in my expectation. I sent a message to Orsay and asked them to ambush in the canst Canyon, the only way for the coalition army. How did they respond?"


    "Well... They haven''t responded yet."


    "If there is no response, it is a refusal." Joseph smiled coldly. "I think there is no news from the north at present?"


    "You mean the black wing empire is going to give us up?"


    "No."


    The marquis in armor shook his head, raised his neck and looked at the deep darkness outside the city: "PAP, do I know what I saw? I saw the Trade Federation become a arena where the northern Empire and its opponents released their fighting animals from their cages and let them bite and fight. I don''t think the emperor tangrian would let himself lose one round out of thin air."


    Compare us to captive fighting animals? Mr. Papp stretched out his hand and tightened his collar. "Sir, I don''t understand."


    The Marquis looked down at his hands and said nothing, as if he were observing his palmprint.


    For a long time, he whispered: "The so-called fighting is just two wild animals fighting hard, which is not uncommon in the uninhabited land of ayladia. Why are countless people shouting loudly in the arena? Because the two fighting animals have been carefully cultivated, and the owners have spent a lot of money on buying young animals. During the growth of young animals, servants are responsible for daily diet, and casters induce blood and blood for them The trainer provides fighting training. In order to let the owner have a boastful capital, even the fur teeth are groomed and taken care of every day. "


    "The wrestling between the two fighting beasts is actually the competition of the financial ability of their masters behind them." Joseph concluded and glanced at the bachelor: "pip, do you understand now?"


    "I see." PIP nodded heavily and sighed. "We are just beasts in a cage, and they are the masters above. What a shame."


    "We are not the only ones, Duke Enfa of Memphis, Archduke Cain of Orsay, governor of Elantra, the city Lord of nisdu, and even tashanmu, the so-called ruler of the whole territory." Joseph Lun''s voice is distant and his words are clear: "if you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for not having enough strength in your hand."


    "Oh, PAP, you have something wrong." the Marquis whispered, "we are not fighting animals now. I think the reason why the northern Empire refused to release the signal is to try whether we are qualified to be fighting animals. It seems that we need to fight this war ourselves."


    The bachelor''s throat was dry and his voice was bitter: "will Virginia face the whole central coalition army on her own?"


    "Central allied forces."


    Joseph roon issued a sneer: "tashanmu was dazzled by anger and rushed to korhol to recover the lost land. Time is short. I''m afraid other city masters won''t join him so soon. Now, we have to face only the troops of pudasius."


    He is right. Although the Trade Federation is nominally under the jurisdiction of the rulers of the whole territory, each city owner has a main city, several castles and more than ten villages. In their own territory, they have completely independent power, and their ruling power is no different from that of the king. Even if tashanmu is the head of the Federation, he cannot directly mobilize the troops of other city states.


    Now the "coalition" Although there are a large number of people, it just seems powerful. Because there are no other city owners to join, the rest of the Legion are not professional soldiers except the army of Tashan mupdaseus city state. In addition to the most insignificant farmers and slaves, there are mercenaries, wandering warriors, adventurers and bounty hunters eager to plunder. When pudasseus sends a call After the order, they followed the little Lord under tashanmu to serve.


    "What are you going to do, my lord?" asked the bachelor.


    "This fool, tashanmu, will only mess with those useless guys. Allocate a few troops to stay behind to defend kohor, and we will go south along the causeway and cross the land."


    PAP hesitated: "take the initiative?"


    Joseph didn''t answer, and then said, "after crossing the land, the cavalry took the first step and secretly circled to the rear of the coalition from the talda commercial road, while the infantry continued to take the freedom road and advance from the front."


    "Do you want the cavalry to attack tashanmu''s troops in two ways?" the bachelor frowned and didn''t seem to agree with this tactic.


    "Pip, you are close to me, so you should know that we still have a third army." Joseph roon said: "once tashanmu knows the news of my leaving kohor, he will lead his army to fight with our main force. There are pudasius spies in Virginia''s army, so he will bet heavy troops to ambush our cavalry. At that time, it will be an opportunity for poisonous snakes."


    "In order to convince tashanmu, we must send all the cavalry to talda business road, which is too expensive." the bachelor hesitated and said: "even if we win this war and repel tashanmu, when other city Lord armies come, we have no strength to resist them."


    "That''s what they want. I guess our allies will arrive when other city Lord''s troops arrive." the Marquis with the sword firmly said.


    I''m lying. Joseph whispered in his heart that he was not sure whether the allies would arrive at that time, or even whether vegia had allies. Everything he said before was based on his own conjecture and inference without any practical basis. But these words cannot be said. As a lord and commander in chief, he must always show full confidence, otherwise under the huge pressure of the Trade Federation, the Virginian army may suddenly fall apart.


    Joseph loughhorne turned and walked down the steps of the wall: "pip, now convey my orders and tell everyone to be ready! See me when everything is ready!"


    Emperor tangrian, the fighting beast in the arena, also has high and low advantages and disadvantages.


    Choose well.
