Inside the Dragon Rock Hall, Lin Qin stands in front of a huge sand table. The current territory of Dragon Rock Territory is newly marked on the sand table -
With Black Wind City as the center, it controls the eight cities and surrounding villages and towns of the original Crimson Flame Alliance. It has taken root in the southern part of Chaos Territory, but looking at the entire Chaos Territory, it is still only a corner.
Hosen, Bader, Soros, Old Jack, Murphy and others stood on both sides. The excitement of defeating the Radiant Church expeditionary force had passed, replaced by a kind of calmness facing a larger goal.
"Chaos Territory, it's time to unify." Lin Qin spoke, his voice was not high, but it made everyone feel refreshed.
He picked up a small flag representing the army and planted it on the sand table at the northern border of Dragon Rock Territory. "The first step is to advance north. The target is Black Marsh City" and its three surrounding cities."
The important strongholds of Black Marsh City and Dark Church in Chaos Territory are also one of the sources of many previous infiltrations and attacks.
Soros took a step forward, pointed at the sand table and analyzed. "Sir, Black Marsh City Lord is Saint Realm Middle Stage's Shadow Warlock"Nelson, who is good at darkness Magic and stealth, the city defense is strong, and the permanent garrison is about 5,000. There are also two Saint Realm junior lieutenants under it. The surrounding three cities are weak, with less than 2,000 defenders in each city, and there is one strong Saint Realm each, all of them are junior."
Hosen grinned. "Saint Realm Middle Stage? It's just a good time for the brothers to practice! I didn't have a good fight last time!"
Bader waved his fist. "My big ax has long wanted to chop down some dark bastards!"
Lin Qin ignored the shouts of the two people and looked at Pallas: "Aerial reconnaissance and suppression will be left to you. After the war begins, priority will be given to solving the opponent's flying units and long-range attack points."
Pallas nodded. "Understood."
"Murphy."
"Here."
"Your inspection team sneaked in in advance to find out the defenses, grain and grass warehouses and the activities of the guards in the three auxiliary cities.
When necessary, create chaos and cooperate with the army to attack the city."
"Yes."
Lin Qin's eyes finally fell on Hosen and Bader: "Hosen is the chief general, Bader is the deputy. The rate is first,
The second legion, with a total of 12,000 people, will set off in three days. The first target is Black Stone City."
He pointed to the nearest auxiliary city to the south of Black Marsh City. "Quickly fight, capture Black Stone City, cut off Black Marsh City's connection with other forces in the south, and use it as an outpost for our northward advance."
"Yes!" Hosen and Bader responded in unison, with fighting intent burning in their eyes.
"Soros, Old Jack."
"Here."
"Logistics support, food and supplies, and the resettlement of the people will be left to you. After taking the city, immediately implement our laws and stabilize people's hearts."
"Yes!"
The order was issued, and the Dragon Rock Territory war machine started running at high speed again.
Three days later, dawn.
An army of 12,000 people formed up outside Black Wind City. Flags were fluttering, swords and guns were like a forest, and the air of killing was permeating the air. After Lin Qin improved the basic Battle Qi method and battle formation training, although the individual strength of these soldiers was not greatly improved, their aura was more condensed, their eyes were sharper, the team was solemn, and there was a faint air of iron blood.
Lin Qin didn't say much, just nodded to Hosen and Bader.
Hosen drew his sword and pointed. "Let's go!"
The army was like a black torrent, heading north. Pallas The huge dragon body rose into the sky and hovered over the team. The dragon's power spread out, driving away any low-level monsters that might be present along the way.
Black Stone City is less than two hundred miles away from the Dragon Rock Territory border. The army is marching neither too fast nor too slowly, maintaining its physical strength and formation.
Five days later, the troops arrived at Black Stone City.
Black Stone City The city wall is not high, but the entire body is made of hard black rocks, which makes it appear quite strong. The defenders at the top of the city have obviously received the news. There are many flags, soldiers are densely packed, and a crossbow is aimed at the city.
The city lord is a tall and thin middle-aged swordsman named Kaili, a junior Saint Realm. He stood at the top of the city, looking at the well-organized Dragon Rock Territory army below, with a solemn expression. Especially when he saw Golden Holy Dragon exuding terrifying dragon power in the air, he felt even heavier.
"Kaili!" Hosen rode out into battle with a sound like a loud bell, "Dragon Rock Territory's army has arrived. If you open the door and surrender, you can save your life and wealth! Fight stubbornly and when the city is destroyed, no chickens or dogs will be left behind!"
Kaili forced himself to calm down and replied sternly, "Hosen! I, Black Stone City, am a member of the Dark Alliance. How could I surrender to you Dragon Rock Territory! If you have the ability, come and attack----"
Before he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred!
On the city wall, a defensive crossbow position near the city gate tower suddenly exploded. Flames shot into the sky, and the soldiers operating the crossbows screamed and were thrown away. Almost at the same time, thick smoke erupted from many places in the city, and faint shouts of killing could be heard.
It was Murphy's inspection team that took action!
"Now! Attack the city!" Hosen seized the opportunity and gave the order immediately.
"Trebuchet, release!"
Dozens of trebuchets roared at the same time, and huge stones hit the Black Stone City wall like meteorites, making a deafening roar. The wall stacks shattered and rubble flew.
"Archers, cover shot!"
A dense rain of arrows rose into the sky, covering the top of the city like a dark cloud, suppressing the defenders until they could not lift their heads.
"Infantry! Charge!"
The heavy armored infantry carrying ladders swarmed towards the city wall like a tide. Bader took the lead, roaring and wielding his giant ax, knocking away the sporadic arrows and rolling stones fired from the city wall.
Kaili was shocked and angry, and tried to organize a counterattack, but the chaos in the city and the ferocious offensive of the Dragon Rock Territory army made him lose sight of the other.
Pallas Seeing the right opportunity, he swooped down and spit out a hot dragon's breath near the city gate. The thick iron-clad city gate quickly deformed and burned in the dragon's breath.
"Boom!"
The city gate was forcibly opened by Bader and a team of elite soldiers using ramming wood.
"Come in!" Hosen waved his long sword and personally led the cavalry to charge.
The city gate was opened, and the morale of the army was in chaos. Dragon Rock Territory's soldiers rushed into the city like tigers rushing into a flock of sheep. Hosen and Bader directly approached the city lord Kaili who was trying to stabilize the position.
Although Kaili is Saint Realm, facing Hosen, a fierce general, Bader who is watching eagerly next to him, and who may pounce at any time in the air Pallas was already terrified. Within ten rounds of the fight, Hosen cut off his weapon with a sword. Bader took the opportunity to hit him in the back with an axe, severely injuring him and capturing him.
The city lord was captured, and the resistance in the city quickly collapsed. Most of the defenders chose to surrender.
From launching the attack to taking control of the entire city, it took less than three hours.
Hosen and Bader stood on the dilapidated city wall, watching the battle gradually subside in the city, and smiled at each other.
"Damn, it's so fast!" Bader spat out bloody spit.
Hosen nodded and ordered the adjutant, "Count the battle damage, take prisoners into custody, and appease the people. Report the victory to the lord immediately!"
When the news came back to Black Wind City, Dragon Rock Hall felt calm. When Lin Qin received the battle report, he just said lightly, "Proceed as planned.
Soros and Old Jack immediately rushed to Black Stone City with their already prepared administrative staff to take over government affairs, implement Dragon Rock Territory's laws, reduce taxes, reorganize and reduce the army.
Dragon Rock Territory's first step to the north is clean and tidy.
