Blood Dragon

Chapter 340 The Fourth Army

It's not very hard to deduce this.

Logically speaking, since Marvin is so deliberate and well-planned, he undoubtedly has the will to win White Castle.In this case, he will inevitably consider all kinds of accidents.Even if those accidents that are too accidental cannot be expected, at least those accidents that are very likely will be prepared for.

An obvious fact is: Even if Lord Bloodfang is defeated, he will not necessarily die.That's right, the Chaos Lord of Khorne was more inclined to die shouting the name of the blood god when he was defeated, but on the battlefield, in the melee where thousands of troops fought each other, even the real daredevil warriors would not dare to die. He must be able to die on the battlefield.For example, a very common situation is: Lord Bloodfang was hit, comatose or injured, and lost the ability to move. There is a high possibility that his cronies will cover him and evacuate the battlefield instead of leaving him behind. Waiting to die on the battlefield.

In this case, Marvin would not be able to justifiably take over the defeated Chaos Legion.Although Lord Bloodfang was defeated and his prestige was swept away, Marvin may not necessarily win in the battle for command power.As the commander-in-chief, Lord Bloodfang must be extremely afraid of other people's ambition to compete for command power - Marvin can only stay in the Chaos Legion if he pretends to be well-behaved.But this means that they cannot make early preparations for their own seizure of power and cannot create public opinion in advance.How can it be possible to seize command of the army without a foundation and thorough preparations ahead?

Of course, another possibility is that Marvin himself is very strong and powerful, and Lord Bloodfang is not so much a subordinate as an ally—hey, if this is really the case, Marvin needs to spend so much effort to play so much trick?

Therefore, Marvin must be prepared for the possibility that the Chaos Legion was defeated and the Bloodfang Lord still controlled the army.But in the face of this situation, there is no chance for conspiracy and tricks to appear on the stage, and only strength determines everything.

Therefore, Marvin's backing must be that he has an army, a latent army.This army can occupy the White Castle—in the White Castle, there are still loyal defenders of the Bloodfang Lord—and have enough strength to make the Bloodfang Lord helpless after the defeat.

"It's very likely." Ashuruffat said after pondering for a moment.Then he suddenly remembered the threatening words that Marvin left behind at the end—the look on Marvin's face was not just a vicious curse, but also something else... He seemed to be smiling at that time, of course it was a sneer.

It was a look of suffering, full of anger and hatred, but still possessing a psychological advantage.The condescension revealed inadvertently is the expression of being very confident in one's own strength and believing that one can win the final victory.

"The battle...is not over yet." Baranka sighed.But it was just a sigh, and there was no real worry.The main force of the Chaos Legion has been defeated, and the ambush troops deployed by Marvin (although the possibility is very high, but after all, it is only a great possibility) will not be more powerful than the Chaos Legion that was just eliminated.

No matter what Marvin thinks, the crux of the problem is... It seems that for Ashuruffat and Baranka, the opportunity to regain the White Castle has just been missed.Quite a pity.

If the White Castle is really recaptured, then.Balanca thought with a little regret in his heart.He really has a great chance to become the guard of the White Castle, commanding the army to sit on one side, and his status as a high-ranking nobleman is even more secure.He has confidence in this, because it is impossible for Ashrufat to stay in White Castle for a long time-even if he is willing, the little queen will not be willing-so the remaining candidates are nothing more than Parry and Baranka (one person is airborne) is really unlikely).Parry was already suspected because of his father, and then he lost a very embarrassing battle... So, even if Baranca is not 100% confident about this position, he is at least [-]-[-]% sure.

However, this is just a little regret.Originally, the purpose of going out this time was to defeat the invading Chaos Legion, and it was only a defensive action.From the very beginning, Falcon City had no ambition to take back the White Castle.This time, although Gruene suppressed the rebellion internally and organized a large army externally, in fact such a strong action did not have real national support.It's not so much because Gruney already has this kind of power, but it's more like taking a stimulant, and he has exerted [-]% of his potential in a short period of time.Among other things, although Gruny's current finances can support such a large-scale military operation, this ample fiscal surplus is not due to the increase in taxes caused by the prosperity of the domestic economy and population growth, but from... some unsustainable The reason is completely a castle in the sky, a one-time sale.

"What's the next step?"

"In any case, this is just a guess." Ashuruffat said. "It's better to lead the army to join Belleur and advance to White Castle first. Strengthening the scouts, there should be...no big problem."

"There are many remnants of the Chaos Legion fleeing," Baranka said.

"White Castle is more important." Ashuruffat said indisputably.He was clearly still undeterred.

Marvin should have already occupied the White Castle. Theoretically speaking... the Chaos Legion in the White Castle may not have the ability to go out to fight in the field, but it is more than enough to hold the castle.

He thought so, and then suddenly remembered something.Is Marvin's expression just because he knows that he can't take back the White Castle?

Two figures quietly climbed up the hillside.

They were two men in gray leather armor, each with a crossbow on their backs and a dagger at their waists.Their horses stayed under the hillside, but they let go of the reins and let them chew the weeds.But it's strange to say that despite this, the two horses are still quiet and silent, and they can be seen to have been strictly trained.

Two figures make their way through weeds, shrubs and trees, and other assorted obstacles.Although the arrival of winter has greatly reduced these obstacles, the light and flexible movements of the two people are still very eye-catching.For ordinary people, it is impossible to move so fast in this terrain.

Their movements and equipment cannot be deceived. Anyone who sees them can recognize them as scouts of the army.

At this time, the night was dark, and with human night vision ability, it was impossible to see clearly beyond twenty paces.The two people who climbed to the top of the slope searched slowly, and luckily found a suitable location.It was a small hollow, surrounded by some evergreen shrubs, forming a natural hiding place.And the size of the place here is also suitable, there is no problem for two people to hide.

The two breathed a sigh of relief.While removing all kinds of fragments from his body, they each found a relatively flat place to lie down and rest.Although both of them were seasoned veterans, they were quite tired from the long journey.Every minute of rest is precious.

They don't worry about their position interfering with observation—their targets are so large that they can see what they want to see as long as the sky is bright.

"General Beler is too careful." A scout sighed after lying down. "The Chaos Legion has been completely wiped out by our army. What is he worried about now? Even those Chaos wizards are dead, I don't believe they can come up with any tricks."

"No dead light, a few ran away." His companion replied. "A friend of mine was in that position. According to him, several of them ran away...they were all the most powerful wizards riding flying demons. General Belel was afraid that these chaos wizards would play tricks. Listen Said they were able to summon large numbers of demons..."

"Shame! If they were so capable, they wouldn't be beaten like dogs in the water by General Belle!" The one who spoke was obviously full of pride. "General Baylor defeated them again and again, and I have never heard of them playing any tricks to summon demons. If they had this ability, they would be beaten like this? The last time I saw the captives with my own eyes The queue is already one league long!"

"Haha... Didn't your lord general say that it's always right to be more careful. At least we don't know how many followers of evil gods there are in White Castle."

"How much more can there be? The main force has been defeated by us, and the rest are only a group of remnants who escaped from the Gaohua City in embarrassment... and those Gruni people are too useless. Under such circumstances, most of the Chaos Legion Ran away."

"They did a good job...there are very few cavalry in the city, and they can't hunt down the enemy after defeating them..."

"That kind of trash, you still speak for them..."

Although they spoke the common language, their accent was not from Gruney's.

"Okay, don't talk anymore, I'll sleep for a while, and you pay attention to the situation around you. We will take over after you get sleepy."

Thus the night passed in silence and vigilance.Nothing happened. They saw the famous castle when the sun in the east sprayed out the first ray.

It was a castle designed and directed by Garunas, the sage of the wilderness.When one sees the castle for the first time, one realizes why this frontier fortress is called "The White Castle".

This is a border fortress, but it is not just a border fortress.It is magnificent and exquisite, and it is said that Galunas has spent a lot of energy on this castle, and it is really worth it.Rather than saying it is a castle, it is better to say that it is a pure white pearl inlaid in the wilderness.

Countless offensive and defensive battles have not weakened the beauty of White Castle in the slightest.Its walls are high and white, and every stone has been quarried from a nearby hill - legend has it that the quarry was exhausted just as the castle was being built.It is a work of art, and in the classics of Grune, this castle also symbolizes the spirit of this country: strong, noble, persevering, tolerant and open...

Such a charming, powerful, civilized and magnificent city has fallen into the hands of the enemy because of a notorious betrayal.It was once a strong shield for the Grunee people to defend against the enemy, but now it has become an outpost for the Chaos invasion of Grunee.

"What... what's going on?" The two scouts turned their attention away from the castle itself, because they saw something incredible.At this moment, a steady stream of troops was pouring out from the gates of White Castle, and an unimaginably large number of Chaos Warriors were gathering on the plain outside the city.

"10...[-]...no, more...maybe [-]...[-]!" one of them exclaimed, "General Beryl must be notified immediately!"
