There is a lord who just wants to draw cards, what's wrong with that?

"Oh? What's the trick?" Alger asked without any scruples.

"Ah, just... wait!" Domi was about to speak, but when he looked up, he realized it was Alger! ?

I haven’t seen this guy for a long time, why is he here now? ?

"Alger? Aren't you working as a guard for the queen in the palace? Why are you here?"

Alger looked at Domi. The endless fighting spirit in his eyes as a child was gone. Now he looked more like he was lying flat.

"Oh, this is what happened. Princess Mikala died, so Her Majesty the Queen asked me to leave, saying that there was no need to protect her, and asked me to help you."

These words made Domi couldn't help but think about Nadia Veda's intention. Is this irony or recognition?

He himself is still more inclined to be sarcastic, and while being sarcastic, he also doesn't forget to help.

After all, the Queen hopes that none of the children of the late Emperor Burton will have to die, but Duomi is her future son-in-law. If Duomi fails, the empire will have to send him.

That is indeed quite contradictory...

"So that's it, I know."

He shook his head, planning to stop thinking about these brain-shaking things, and instead took the soldier's war chess from Aurora and placed it on the sand table.

"Retreat in order to advance! We will disguise most of the troops stationed in Selinya as refugees and disperse them to both sides of the battle line to stand by.

Then let the scouts watching Selinya think that the garrison here is empty, so that the alliance army can attack Selinya.

At the same time, the troops on standby on both sides directly bypassed the natural barrier and pointed directly at the opponent's outpost city!

As for the enemy troops remaining in Selinya, I will deal with them, and all the remaining combat forces will be devoted to sneak attacks. By then, the opponent's outpost city will be empty, and it can be easily captured without the need for troops! "

"Two questions." Winfield said after listening.

"General, please speak."

"First, how to make the enemy think for sure that Selinya's defense strength is empty?"

Domi seemed confident.

"It's very simple. I will order people to create a realistic rebellion in the city behind Selinya, and join the Reformed Church. I, and a quarter of Selinya's soldiers will go to suppress it."

A quarter of our troops is not much for us, but it is a lot for the enemy. It can also make the other party feel that they have taken a big advantage.

General, if you were the commander of the alliance and saw that the strongest combat power and a quarter of the troops were transferred, would you let this opportunity pass and attack the target without using the largest number of troops? "

Winfield nodded, tentatively agreeing with this countermeasure. As for how to implement it, it depends on Duomi's arrangement.

“If it’s not possible without knowing it, then the second question——

There are two cities next to the outpost city opposite. If our troops hiding on both sides go around and attack, there is a high probability that they will be intercepted by these two cities. What should we do then? "

"Even if we are intercepted, we will still make a profit. I am sure to annihilate half of the troops entering Selinya.

As for the countermeasures... let the troops from the outer front line attack the two cities, creating the illusion of encirclement, betting that they will stay put and stay in the city.

If you don't defend, go to intercept, and the remaining army will change its target and attack those two cities.

No matter what, the initiative is in our hands! "

After everyone thought about it, they felt that this plan was indeed quite feasible.

Rather than stalemate each other and continue to consume national power, it is better to retreat in order to advance according to Duomi, and firmly hold the initiative in your own hands!

After unanimously agreeing to pass the plan, Domi no longer looked at the obstacles in front of Selinya, but set his sights on the mainland of the six Central Plains countries:

"As long as we can invade the Central Plains, our army will be so powerful that they will never come back..."

Only a few people know that there are still two million undead knights in his underworld waiting to make a move.

Chapter 323: The Tactic of Retreating to Advance is a Great Success

Chapter 323 -322- The tactic of retreating to advance was a great success

In the early morning four days later, in the outpost city directly opposite Selinya, General Hernan, one of the alliance commanders, was responsible for guarding the place.

Last night, near midnight, he suddenly received news from spies within the empire.

It was said that a planned and organized large-scale rebellion occurred in a city behind Selinya, including members of the Reformed Church.

"As far as I know, it is possible that people from the Reformed Church are operating secretly, trying to harass the front line and subvert the rule of the empire in revenge for Dominic Blofeld.

In addition, I have seen Dominic coming here in person and starting to suppress the rebellion. The city is only medium-sized and the suppression will not take too long. It is conservatively estimated that it will take at least a day. "

That's what the spy said.

As a person involved, his words had a high reference value, so generals from various countries, including General Hernan, were forced to get up in the middle of the night and discuss tactics together until dawn.

At six o'clock in the morning, they finally decided to let the army cross the valleys and hills immediately and attack Selinya!

Selinya, who does not have Dominic and some of his troops, is a golden opportunity for them!

At eight o'clock in the morning, the troops stationed in the outpost city rushed out, leaving only troops to guard the rear.

It was natural that they were ambushed while marching into the mountains, forests and valleys, but the damage was still within an acceptable range.

It took a lot of effort to cross the mountains with the siege equipment. Soon, they saw the city wall of Selinya not far away.

Although there are still many soldiers guarding the city wall, they all know that the garrison in the city is not sufficient, and the soldiers are confident.

Hernan gave the order and the whole army attacked!

The trumpet of war sounded melodiously and the siege battle officially started!

The morale of the Alliance army was high, and they rushed towards the city wall one after another. The mage behind them used all their strength to blast magic on the city's magic barrier, while the archers specialized in sniping at the defenders on the city wall.

After a bloody tug of war, the Alliance's battering ram finally rushed to the city gate amid the accumulation of countless corpses.

"one two three!!"

thump—

"one two three!!"

thump—

The battering ram hit the city gate rhythmically, and the seemingly unbreakable city gate was crumbling...

"The city gate is about to be breached again! Run!"

Seeing that something was wrong, the soldiers guarding the city began to run away.

"Everyone come back! Don't run away!"

Lancelot pretended to resist and roared angrily, but to no avail.

The other high-end combat forces who stayed behind to perform also showed signs of decline in the battle against the alliance's high-end combat forces.

Hernan, who was on the outside, keenly noticed the imperial army's defeat, so he quickly asked the soldiers to break through:

"They are running away! Chase them and destroy their vitality!"

The city was once again plunged into a sea of ​​fire, with almost no civilians inside, which was normal. The original residents of this city had already fled during the last invasion, and the imperial army was stationed in a dead city.

There was no money to be made, which made Hernan not happy even if he captured Selinya.

"General Hernan, the remaining imperial troops and high-end combat forces have fled outside the city, but I have sent cavalry troops to catch up."

"Well, well done."

Although there is no oil or water, Selinya's strategic significance is extremely important. It will become the new outpost city for the Alliance to invade the hinterland of the empire!

"What do we do next?"

"Have the engineers start repairing the city gates, and have the other soldiers redeploy the defenses. We must hold this place until reinforcements arrive."

"As ordered."

At this time, neither of them noticed that on top of the tallest bell tower in the city, three figures were looking down at all the creatures below, their eyes as cold as if they were looking at a group of dead people.

"My lord, why don't you take action yet?" There was a rare flash of violence and bloodthirst in Arei's silky eyes. She couldn't wait to kill all these blind guys.

"My lord must be waiting for reinforcements from the alliance to arrive. Only by killing them all in one go can the opponent's losses be maximized." Aurora explained.

"Aurora is right. Don't be impatient, Alei. You can take action almost at night. The more people there are at a funeral, the more fun it will be, right?"

He still remembers Alei's extremely large-scale, % fatal move, and his memory is extremely profound.

If he had not asked the elves and the Theocracy's coalition forces to prepare counter-magic in advance, I am afraid that Aleya's magic could have wiped out the coalition forces, and the demons would not be huddled in their hometowns to recuperate during this great opportunity of war between the countries.

"That's true~ Just wait patiently~ But sir, it's still a long time until night, so why don't we do something interesting together! Sister Aurora is coming too~"

The way Aurora looked at her suddenly became strange.

Doesn’t it all prove that your love for Mrs. Shia does not tolerate a third party? Why still brush aside?

Could it be...? !

Aurora suddenly thought of a possibility. If it was just flirting, the adults would be kind-hearted and wouldn't say much, and Alejandro's desire would be released!

Oh my God, Arete, you are such a sinful woman...

Aurora immediately shook her head: "I won't!"

"Really?" Aleia looked a little disappointed, and then took out a set of cards from the storage space: "It's a pity, playing furnace cards with two people will be less competitive..."

Furnace... furnace brand? ? ?

Aurora was stunned for a moment, then stamped her foot angrily:

“Oh really!”

Arete was also stunned and looked at Aurora in confusion: "Why are you suddenly angry?"

"Nothing, just add me." Aurora sighed.

"Why are you here again now?"

"I changed my mind at the last minute!"

Seeing the rare quarrel between the two, Duomi couldn't help but smile: "I feel relieved to see that your relationship is so good."

So, the three of them played stove cards on the roof of the bell tower, just to pass the time.

……

At the same time, in the two cities on the edge of Selinya, the soldiers who had poured into them disguised as refugees four days ago were once again wearing their armor and fighting with the two generals, with their swords pointing directly at the alliance's outpost cities.

The two cities on the edge of the outpost city also got the relevant information immediately. They were about to send troops to intercept, but they found that there was another imperial army heading towards them on the other side!

Are they going to attack the central outpost city or their satellite cities?

Or fight both? !

I can’t tell the difference, I really can’t tell the difference!

Being passive, it was too late for them to seek support from the side.

If you think about it calmly, it is better to lose one city than to lose two cities!

Keep the satellite city, and then you can take it back with cheese.

After weighing the pros and cons, the defending generals of the two satellite cities unanimously decided to defend their own city. As for the central outpost city, it all depends on their luck...

Chapter 324 This arrow pierces the stars!

Chapter 324 -323- This arrow penetrates the stars!

Time passed quietly in the fierce game between the two sides. The setting sun above the Western Mountain was extremely red, reflecting on the mountains and grass, as if it was dyed red by the blood of the soldiers.

As the sun completely set, the torch that replaced the sun was once again lit in the Alliance outpost city, and night fell...

But this time, it was no longer the Central Plains people who lit the bonfire, but the Imperial people.

The garrison of only people was far from a match for the overwhelming empire, and was defeated on the same day.

After occupying the outpost city, they also discovered that there were Alliance troops rushing towards the rear for reinforcements. Winfield estimated that this was the reinforcements Hernan called after he captured Selinya, with the intention of consolidating the defense of Selinya City.

The old general was indeed an old general, and his strategic consciousness was quite precise and ruthless. He immediately poked at the opponent's pain point and blocked the reinforcements behind the outpost city.

The butterfly effect caused by this sudden change made General Hernan in Selinya suspicious.

"Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet... They should have arrived no matter how late they are."

He was so anxious that he started pacing in the marching tent.
