I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 225 We are all brothers, it is too polite for you to say that! (Please subscribe and give me a monthly ticket)
The city of Ardashi was an important military city in the east of the Sassanid Empire.

There are many troops stationed here, all of whom are elite soldiers of the Sassanid Empire.

There is also a powerful army of monsters. It can be said that at this stage, it is the most difficult city to capture in the Sassanid Empire, comparable to the natural barrier of the Holy Mountain City.

Elisa, the queen of the Sassanid Empire, lived in this city.

In addition, there are 4 saints whose city defense formation and harmonious meridian formation have reached the extreme.

The other three families all knew that this war was of great importance and would determine the fate of the Sassanid Empire.

The heads of all the major families responded to the call of Empress Elisa and personally led their troops here.

Not only that, the famous generals of the Sassanid Empire were also here. They fought together and prepared to fight against the attack of the Tiance Dynasty.

After a day of discussion, Carl Azman, the patriarch of the Carl family, expressed his opinion: "I think according to the habits of the Tiance Dynasty army, they will definitely not attack Ardashi City. If they want to attack here, they must pay a heavy price, and they will definitely not be able to capture this place, so we must prevent the Tiance Dynasty army from taking a detour to attack the capital."

Azman had studied at the Tian Ce Dynasty’s Combat Academy before, so he understood some of the Tian Ce Dynasty’s tactics and strategies.

Not only him, but also many big families in the surrounding countries would send some of their clansmen to the Tiance Dynasty for further study.

Whether to choose a sect or a combat academy depends on their needs.

Farah Ibn, the head of the Farah family, nodded and pointed to some locations on the sand table. He continued, "Based on my many years of experience in marching and fighting, these are places where ambushes can be set up.
Especially this plain, there is a big river on it. If the army of the Tiance Dynasty intends to attack from here, we can open the gates to release water and crush them. When they ignore their guards, my Earth Dragon Army can defeat them in one fell swoop."

The Earth Dragon Legion is very good at underground raids and is definitely good at setting traps.

Nasser Hassan, the patriarch of the Nasser family, also said: "I think Ibn's plan is good. My Blue Bull Legion can cooperate with you in the raid!"

As a loyal minister of the Sassanid family, Morey also began to offer advice: "The Giant Elephant Legion stays here, and I can lead the most mobile Lionheart Legion to attack the supply line of the Tiance Dynasty. This way, they will be unable to take care of each other. If they cannot get supplies, they will either attack with force or retreat directly."

Other soldiers also expressed their own tactical opinions, and made dozens of plans.

The best scenario is that the Tian Ce Dynasty loses its supply lines and its army becomes unstable, while the emperor of the Tian Ce Dynasty cannot afford to withdraw from the army in shame, so he will definitely launch a fierce attack.

How could they capture our city of Ardashi?

By then, the Tian Ce Dynasty would have suffered heavy casualties, with most of the troops in the Western Theater being lost here. The Sassanid Empire would be in high spirits and would be able to counterattack the Tian Ce Dynasty and occupy a large amount of land.

Of course, this is only the most ideal option. Among these dozens of options, most are protracted wars and wars of attrition.

That is to say, it is a competition between the national strength of the two countries. After all, the Tian Ce Dynasty was on an expedition, and the consumption was multiples, but the Sassanid Empire could still afford it.

The soldiers and the patriarchs of the three major families, that is, the three dukes, discussed and considered the matter very seriously and carefully, for fear of missing any details.

At this time, Queen Elsa said, "I think it is not advisable for us to divide our forces at this time. The Tiance Dynasty is coming with great momentum this time, and they will most likely fight us to the death in Ardashi City, so our best way is to remain unchanged in the face of change, and see how they fight, and then we will respond."

When Elsa came here, she knew nothing about military operations.

She is also the type of person like Li Chen, who practices in seclusion in the palace. She has no experience in leading troops in battle, or even any experience in military training.

But recently, she has been catching up on some military theories, which means she has read a lot of military books.

She felt that her words had certain reference value.

Elsa's words caused the surrounding ministers to remain silent for a while.

Duke Azman asked, "I would like to ask, what is your Majesty's basis?"

Elsa said thoughtfully: "I think if I were Li Chen, I heard that he has a lot of Saints. If he has such a big advantage, I would directly defeat the main force of the opponent, and then the enemy would collapse without a fight."

In Elsa's opinion, since Li Chen came in person, he definitely didn't come here to fight a protracted war.

Even Elsa became a little impatient after staying in this place for a few days.

She just didn't believe that Li Chen liked to stay in the military camp all the time.

But what she said made Azman and others feel a little ridiculous.

Do you think Li Chen is a fool? Even if Li Chen wanted to fight, his soldiers would probably dissuade him.

The city of Ardashi is indestructible. They all hope that Li Chen will come in person, so that they may be able to capture him alive here.

Whoever captures the emperor of the Tiance Dynasty alive will definitely leave the most profound mark in the country's history.

Duke Azman wanted to refute the empress, but he also considered the empress's strength.

After all, this guy can kill everyone present in seconds.

Even if they are dissatisfied, they still have to speak politely.

Otherwise, you will realize your mistake when your head and body are separated.

Duke Azman could only say respectfully: "Your Majesty, your idea is correct. Let's do as you say. We will hold on here and wait for the attack of the Tiance Dynasty."

By saying this, he was giving face to the empress. Anyway, the Tian Ce Dynasty had not attacked yet, so there was really no need to divide the troops.

Today's military meeting came to an end, but many people were dissatisfied except Alyssa.

They all felt that the empress was inexperienced and yet she was acting on her own. Was she afraid of death?

The Tiance Dynasty has also begun preparations for war.

It’s true, Alyssa did guess Li Chen’s thoughts, but she only guessed half of it.

Li Chen must be planning to lead his army to attack Ardashi City personally. There is no point for him to go to other cities. This is also Guo Poyun's strategy.

But Guo Poyun would not be so foolish as to concentrate all his main forces in the city of Ardashi.

You know, Li Chen’s team has ten saints. What does that mean?
Guo Poyun had never fought such a prosperous battle in his life.

I’m afraid that even the founding emperor of the Li royal family did not have such a powerful team.

Why is Guo Poyun still being so timid? Li Chen and other saints didn’t come here to play.

Guo Poyun had a sure-fire way to win, which was to delay the main force of the Sassanid Empire and then launch a full-scale attack in other places.

Li Chen and other Saint Realm people did not need to hide anything and slowly advanced towards Ardashi City, telling the other side directly that His Majesty Li Chen wanted to attack Ardashi City. Then Ardashi City where the Empress was located would definitely strengthen its vigilance and even close its defense line.

With ten saints advancing unabashedly, it would be strange if the Sassanid Empire was not panicking.

But the clever part is that it's a slow process. Anyway, I tell you I'm going to hit you, but I'm not in a hurry.

The army of the Tiance Dynasty was not like that of the Sassanid Dynasty, which spent most of its money and resources on training the four great demon beast legions.

The armies of the Tiance Dynasty are all main forces!
There was even support from the troops led by Helan Xuan.

At the same time, the absolute main force led by Li Chen slowly advanced into the city of Ardashi.

Other armies began to advance into the heartland of the Sassanid Empire and were even able to send siege troops to attack surrounding cities.

The four great demon beast legions are indeed extremely powerful special forces, but do you dare to go out of the city of Ardashi to support other cities?
At that time, various messages requesting help will be transmitted to the city of Ardashi.

If you dare to go out of the city to support us, we will attack the city of Ardashi.

If you don't dare, then you'd better retreat. Other cities will fall into panic of being abandoned, and sooner or later they will be conquered by the army of our Tiance Dynasty.

This is Guo Poyun's tactic for now. He will have to see how the opponent responds so that he can counter it.

The Tian Ce Dynasty also had many generals. In addition to Guo Poyun, the generals in the central military tent had also come up with many strategies, just like the generals in the Sassanid Dynasty’s military camp, who could come up with dozens of plans.

They are all very capable and there is nothing wrong with these solutions.

If no one is willing to submit to the other and everyone attacks in their own way, it will be easy to end up in a war of this level.

The advantage of having unified command is that there won’t be too much chaos.

Li Chen believes in Guo Poyun's ability. After all, this is Guo Poyun's job.

Except for Helan Xuan, Li Chen did not allow other saints to participate in these discussions.

Before the full-scale attack, Li Chen returned to his own camp, which was the royal camp.

Two people have been waiting here for a long time.

When King Anxi Li Ji heard Li Chen's call, he immediately ran over from the military camp where Liu Hao was.

Along the way, he was still thinking about what His Majesty meant by calling me at this time.

As soon as he arrived at the camp, Li Ji found an acquaintance.

"Old Five? Why are you here?"

Seeing the fifth prince Li Ran, Li Ji was naturally a little surprised.

"Your Majesty promised to bring me here, why are you here too?"

Li Ran was also very confused about Li Ji's appearance.

Because when they were in the imperial capital, Li Ji lied and said he was just back for a stroll, but they ended up meeting here.

Li Ji sighed and said, "Hey, I've been having a hard time lately, and I want to accumulate some military merits. How about you?"

Li Ran said casually: "I want to repay your majesty's kindness."

Li Ji: "We are all brothers, it's too polite for you to say that, I am just telling the truth."

After being trained by Li Chen, this guy began to slowly imitate Li Chen's style.

Li Chen was too lazy to be polite. If you have something to say, just say it. If not, get out. I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you.

It’s just that Li Ji doesn’t have the strength and status of Li Chen, to put it mildly.

But the fact that Li Chen could be imitated by people of similar age was enough to prove his excellence. At least in Li Ji's opinion, this emperor was worth learning from.

After a moment of silence, Li Ran said, "Since you want to know, I'll tell you, the reason I'm still alive is to make the second and third brothers live a life worse than death."

Li Ran practiced hard in order to crush the second prince in terms of talent and strength.

The reason why he came here to gain military merit was that he wanted to crush the third prince in terms of military ability.

Trampling on their most proud talents made them realize that even if they had fallen to the bottom, they could always surpass them.

Hearing this, Li Ji was not surprised, as he knew what happened back then.

The struggle for the throne has always been cruel since ancient times.

Li Ji had no idea about the affairs of these three people. He just wanted to get the money and go back to continue his business.

After all, they were brothers, so the two started chatting here.

At first, Li Ji thought that Li Ran was a blind man and was just here to kill time.

Unexpectedly, some of the things Li Ran said shocked Li Ji greatly. He even explained clearly what kind of combat plan the four major monster beast legions would adopt and how to deal with the four major monster beast legions.

"You can tell Guo Poyun all these, maybe you can get some recognition in return." Li Ran sat aside, not really caring.

"This is not good, Lao Wu, why don't you go and say it?" Li Ji's words showed that he really wanted to say it, and it might even be considered a military achievement.

"My identity is quite special." Li Ran just said this, but in fact he already understood everything.

At this moment, footsteps were heard coming from the front door.

The two royal family members knelt on the spot and paid their respects to Li Chen.

Li Chen asked them not to formalize and sat in the main seat.

Glancing at the two people present, Li Chen said, "Li Ji, how have you been doing in the army recently? I heard from Guo Poyun that you performed well when defending the city."
