Chapter 436 Unknown Hostility

On the second day of the final negotiations with the Green Dragon Knights, on the outskirts of Karad City, in addition to the usual cavalry still patrol there, most of the other soldiers were resting in the camp. At the main gate of Karad City, Irvan and Sith also conduct daily patrols here.

"The tranquility before the storm." Elvin Wangtian said.

Sith: "Yes, no matter how powerful the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Knights are, they are still alive after all. It took nearly two months to get here from the long journey of such a distant king's army, and they definitely need to rest. Moreover, the strong fortifications of Karad City are not in a hurry to be captured. Now the other party must be studying our defense gaps.

Ewen: "I remember you once said that as long as the military theory is five times better than the other party, you can carry out a forced attack."

Sith: "Yes, but the premise is that the other aspects of the two sides are almost the same. After all, the fortifications of Karad City are very perfect. Even if the strong attack can be won, the other party will pay a huge price. The other party will never do this. After all, behind the other side, there is also The Lion Heart Group, an army that cannot be underestimated, exists.

Evan: "My father's Green Dragon Knights are mainly fighting with cavalry, supplemented by step-by-step warfare, but even so, they have the power to fight against the fortress of the Red Dragon Heavy Regiment. Moreover, in his father's practice, although he will not use any despicable means, the use of various tactics is quite powerful. , and his father will not use a lot of sacrifices to attack. I believe that in the face of the Karad fortress, which is so difficult to conquer this time, my father will definitely launch a siege battle with a more accurate chance of victory. According to my understanding of my father, he will probably first take measures such as weakening our fortifications and the morale of the army.

Sith: "I never dare to relax your father. I also heard early in the morning that the soldiers of the Green Dragon Knights are strong in combat effectiveness. For this reason, I began to discuss with Levi of the Lion Heart Corps early in the morning and began to prepare a lot of countermeasures and strategies, hoping that we can win this time. More favorable advantages."

Looking at Sith's tired but confident expression, Ivn believes that Sith will not let everyone down, but looking at Sith thinking day and night for this battle, now Sith has become much thinner and thinner, which makes Elvin very worried: " Sith, I believe that during this period of time, the other party is There will be no action for the time being. You should take more rest. There is still a long way to go in this battle.

Sith rubbed his eyes slightly and then showed that he was in good spirits: "Don't worry, I don't feel anything serious now, but you, Elvin, are going to fight with your father and people you know, which is really..."

Everyone is worried about Avan's mood, which is very gratefully: "I once imagined that I want to fight with my father, but I didn't expect that now it has really become a reality, and maybe the strength of my father can only be realized by facing it in person."

Also at this time, messengers came to inform the emergency: "Report, there seems to be a big action in the enemy's barracks!"

just thought that the other party was going to take a rest without taking any offensive action, but now there was an action immediately. Evan and Sith were surprised and repeatedly asked the other party what action was.

......

On the west wall of Karad City, Evan and Sith and others were very worried after receiving the report of the messengers, so they also rushed here to see what happened in person.

Seeing the Blue Dragon Knights stationed in the western barracks, the soldiers began to take action and line up, as if they were going to go out immediately. Not only here, but also from the barracks stationed in other directions, there were also many soldiers coming here to gather. What on earth is the other party doing?

It will not be a siege operation. Evan and Sith can already make a judgment on this, but with doubt, Evan and Sith continue to observe the dynamics of this brigade in each other's barracks.

After a while, the other party's brigade began to set out. Sure enough, it was not towards Karad, but in the opposite direction and continued to move towards the west in Karad's territory. I believe there were as many as 20,000 to 30,000 in the vast team. Elvin could know from the badges of the other party's soldiers. This was him. The troops of the fourth detachment of the Blue Dragon Knights, that is, the logistics support detachment, are not the main unit, but also accompanied by some light cavalry of the second detachment.

Just as Irwin and Sith were still discussing the purpose of each other's move, another messenger came to report the emergency: "Report, under the city walls in the west and north of our side, a small group of cavalry approached and read aloud by the commander of the Kulos of the Green Dragon Knights. The written notice. The general content is to persuade the soldiers and generals of the former Karad City who had joined with Lord Renard before to rejoin the army of the kingdom.

I didn't expect that the other party's action would be so fast, and it still took a two-pronged approach. As for the whereability of a large number of troops in the west was not considered, and as for the cavalry in the other direction, they read aloud the notice written by the god of war who respected and yearned for by every soldier in the kingdom. What kind of impact will it have on the soldiers of the former Calade City? This is also a big problem that Elvin and others will face.

Sith: "The other party moved very quickly. As soon as it came up, it immediately aimed at our weakness and launched an offensive."

Awen: "However, the soldiers left behind in the former Karad City are all very supportive of us, and Mr. Renard assured these soldiers that we can trust them."

Evan is still willing to believe in the kindness of others.

Sith: "I don't doubt their support and loyalty to our cause, and now Mr. Leonard is personally commanding, believing that the situation will not become serious and uncontrollable. On the contrary, we should also consider that after all, these soldiers who joined us are all based on the kind feelings that want to make the world beautiful, and their hearts are also full of justice. If they want to face the army of the kingdom that used to belong to the united front, their mood will inevitably be affected.

Elvin is actually very reluctant to fight against the Blue Dragon Knights, and in the same mood, the soldiers of the former Karad City will also have very entangled troubles about this.

Sith: "This will have a great impact on the morale of our soldiers. I believe this is the purpose of the other party."

Evan: "Well, we also need to make appropriate arrangements. I will go to Mr. Renard to discuss how to face this problem."

Sith: "Well, then, I will continue to stay and observe the movement on this side, because what I care more about is what the large number of soldiers of the Blue Dragon Knights are going to do on this side."

Aiwen: "If it is because of the discovery of the action of the Lionheart Regiment and set out to fight, it will never be the fourth detachment responsible for logistical support."

Sith: "Yes, because although the strength of the Lion Heart Regiment is less than half of the current opponent, it is absolutely not weak to fight, and the other party will never have any contempt for this battle... In short, I hope it's not something I'm worried about."

When Sith said this, he obviously felt a little helpless. No wonder that Elvin and others, who are now besieged by the army, can only hope and pray for what happened outside the city.

......

After that, such a non-disputed confrontation spent a month peacefully, and the time entered March 201 of the ephemeri calendar. Under such circumstances, it was really surprising that most people in Karad City could still have such a calm time, and their once tightened hearts began to slowly begin to Relaxed.

"It's too quiet."

"Yes, yes, I thought that we were facing the most powerful legion in the kingdom. The other party had so many troops that I thought that the other party would definitely start to attack immediately, but I didn't expect that the other party would just surround us."

"Maybe I'm really afraid of our difficult city of Karad. If I were the other party's soldier, I would feel very distressed."

"Is it going to trap us to death without such a siege?"

"It's unlikely that the city's reserve rations can support at least a year and a half to two years. In this case, you are not afraid at all."

Such a topic continues to circulate among soldiers. Generally speaking, what soldiers hope most is that such a time can be maintained forever.

However, the break of calm time always comes very suddenly. On this day, something unusual finally happened. The sound was accompanied by a small earthquake. Such an abnormal phenomenon was immediately reported to Elvin of the Star Group.

In today's situation, no small thing can be neglected, let alone this unusual thing now. So, Evan and Sith hurried to the outer wall guard tower to see what was going on.

Sith looked around and immediately understood what had happened. Sith showed a very worried expression.

Evan: "What's the matter, Sith? What will these abnormal noises be?

Sith: "What I'm most worried about still seems to happen... These sounds and vibrations come from the ground."

Evan: "That is to say, the enemy is digging underground and wants to launch an offensive from the ground? But this is impossible. Although the terrain here is a plain, the land is sandstone geology. It is very difficult to dig. The four brothers of the mine once told us this. And I also heard Mr. Renard say that when the original lord Kimberley was expanding the city of Karad, he was very distressed, so it took more than ten years to finally build it on the scale it is now.

Sith: "Indeed, if you want to dig underground channels under such geology, you really can't succeed in a month or two, and the other party must start operations outside our attack range, and the amount of work is larger. What's more, we still have a moat. If the depth of excavation is too shallow If so, it will be submerged by the water of the moat, and even if it is deep enough, it will be flooded from groundwater at any time.

According to Sith's statement, although there is nothing we can do about the other party's attack on the underground passage, there is no need to worry too much at present. However, Sith's expression became more and more solemn.

Evan: "So, Sith, what are you worried about now?"

Sith: "What I'm worried about is that if the other party digs in the underground passage that has been built for a long time, the difficulty of the project will be greatly reduced."

Evan: "The existing underground channel? Does it mean those that Kimberly built? However, will the other party know this very confidential information?

Sis: "Mr. Renard once gave me the top secret city defense plan of this city for detailed study. For this reason, I have carefully studied this city defense plan and printed it all in my mind."

It seems that Sista really worked very hard this time to win this war.

Sis: "In the city of Karad, there are several secret underground passages leading to the outside world, which are the fortifications that many fortresses will have. Judging from the position of these sounds and vibrations, yes, they are indeed the location of the underground passages from the city of Karad."

Evan: "The confidential information of Karad City was known by the other party? But Leonard said that he kept this city defense plan very well and should not be like this... Wait a minute, this time the Dragon Flying Cavalry also came. If he is the commander of the Becas Legion, maybe he is indeed such a person.

Sith: "Then it can finally be explained. Now it is certain that the other party is now using our secret underground passage to carry out underground engineering."

Evan: "At the beginning of the design, the underground passage of Karad City was also considered to be invaded by the enemy, so like the Royal District of the Kingdom, it has adopted a method that can only be opened internally, and cannot be opened externally."

Sith: "Yes, the underground passage is closed by the gate of the organ, and we are not worried that we will be used by the other party to make a breakthrough. As long as we abandon these underground passages and destroy them all, the other party will also fail, but..."

Evan: "But what is it?"

Sith: "I wonder why the other party didn't do this at the beginning, but waited until a month later to start? With the ability of the other party, this should have been thought of earlier, and it has made such a loud noise that we are not afraid of death. Isn't their purpose to attack from the underground passage?

Ewen: "Father, he is the kind of person who has to think carefully in advance and be fully prepared to act."

Sith fell into thinking: "I believe that the other party planned to do this early in the morning, so... what kind of plan does the other party have... But I have made relevant preparations... No, there is only one possibility... Is the other party's ability really So big?"

Sith's self-speaking made Elvin feel anxious.

Sith's expression became more and more solemn: "Is it possible that a month ago, the large number of troops sent to the west... Not good, a meeting will be held immediately, and the other party is about to launch a siege!"

The situation suddenly became serious, and Elvin did not ask the reason any more. He immediately went to organize a gathering to start the meeting.
