Li Huailin couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with these foreign players. So, not long after the arrangements were made, Li Huailin set off with his troops. Anyway, the two behemoths, Waldfumus and Kuromori, were watching over them. Even if McCann and the others messed up, at least these two behemoths could protect their stronghold. Of course, the foreign players didn't know about these two behemoths. So, their plan couldn't have worked from the beginning. Of course, if they really knew, they wouldn't have come here to die.
So, Li Huailin set off with his troops with a peace of mind. At this time, Li Huailin's troops were still more than 20,000 people. This time, Legg's troops were still the main force. Knowing that this battle was going to be a fierce one, the new recruits wouldn't be sent to die. Most of the new recruits stayed in the East Asia region to maintain law and order and give them experience points. The troops here were all elite troops.
The main force of the army was still the cavalry. Because Li Huailin was too lazy to give them names, they were still called the First Cavalry Team and the Second Cavalry Team. Each team had 3,000 people. As a unit that had been with Li Huailin since the founding of the army, and had also stayed in the first and second corps for a period of time, this cavalry team had become a veritable elite force. Moreover, Li Huailin was also diligent in farming experience points. So far, the two cavalry teams had already obtained S-rank experience points. The remaining infantry teams were basically veterans from the first corps. Although they hadn't been in the army for a long time, their combat power was still very good.
The more troublesome one was the logistics team. At present, the logistics team of this army really couldn't do much. Fortunately, the target this time, the port was actually not very far from the stronghold in the Hua Xia region. In fact, a round trip would take less than a day. So, there wasn't much demand in this area. The only troublesome thing was the siege equipment.
"Your Majesty, there are no trees here at all. We can't make siege equipment. What if the enemy's wall is very high?" As Legg walked, he observed the surrounding situation. However, there were too few plants on the Darkness Continent. Without sunlight, the plants that could survive were all strange plants, and he could even see some plants spitting out black gas. Yes, the plants were probably not photosynthesizing, but if you asked why the creatures here could live without the oxygen supply from the plants … who knew?
Of course, what Legg cared about was definitely not the oxygen supply for the plants, but whether they could make siege weapons. Simple siege weapons could be made with some trees, but the plants here were obviously not up to the task, because these plants did not grow in the direction of the sun, that is, upwards. Most of them were lying softly on the ground, and it was obvious that they did not have any muscles or bones. This kind of thing could not even be made into a ladder, and it was fine to make a soft rope. When Li Huailin set off, he told them not to bring any siege weapons. The reason was that those things were too slow, and Li Huailin didn't want to waste time here.
"Do you think the city walls are a problem for us?" Li Huailin asked.
"Uh … Isn't it?" Legg asked. After thinking about it, Legg suddenly said, "I understand, Your Majesty. You must be planning to use the cavalry to launch a surprise attack and quickly occupy the city gate before the other party closes it."
"Can you f * cking use your brain to think about it?" Li Huailin held his forehead. "This city is the closest and largest city to our stronghold. When we attacked the stronghold yesterday, do you think it's possible that no one ran out? If someone ran out, where would their first choice be? So is it possible that the other party doesn't know about this at all? "
"This …" Legg was speechless for a moment. That's right, when they attacked the stronghold in Hua Xia District yesterday, although they had also besieged the city, they might not have killed everyone, especially in such a place with obstructed vision. It wasn't strange for someone to escape. The first reaction of those who escaped would definitely be to report to the big city next to them. Of course, this port was the best choice. Therefore, the other small cities might not have received the news, but the possibility of this port not receiving the news was not very high.
"So the enemy is already on their guard against us?" Legg asked.
"It's very likely that they've already sent someone to investigate the situation. Of course, we moved out relatively quickly, and the other party might not have fully reacted yet." Li Huailin said, "But the city must be prepared."
"Isn't that bad?" Legg said, "But Your Majesty, didn't you just ask that dragon to help attack other cities? How can we take down the port without siege weapons? We're mainly a cavalry unit."
"There's a problem with you guys fighting, but I'm here personally. What else can there be?" Li Huailin spread his hands. "I'll show you my newly developed skills in a while. I guarantee you'll be scared shitless."
"Uh … Okay." Although Legg didn't know the situation, he still believed in Li Huailin. After all, he was the boss.
The troops continued to advance, and it didn't take long for them to see the port city in the black fog ahead. It was a really big city, even bigger than the stronghold occupied by Hua Xia District. Legg frowned when he saw the layout of the city, because the location of the city was too good. First of all, it was a port, so it was already surrounded by water on one side. Furthermore, it was next to a mountain. This kind of situation was really difficult to deal with because there were too few places to attack. Even if there were not many defenders, the other party's defensive positions were relatively few. Such a city was very difficult to attack.
And Li Huailin's prophecy seemed to have come true, because when they reached the foot of the city, they saw that the city gate had already been closed by the light of the fire. There were also vague figures on the city walls. It was obvious that there were already people on the city walls in a defensive posture.
"@ # ¥@% …" Just as he was observing the terrain, a loud voice came from the city wall. Of course, because of the language barrier, he still couldn't understand what the other party was saying, but it seemed to be a warning. Legg and the others also looked up, but because of the black fog, they couldn't see who was speaking.
"Your Majesty, this city … is very sturdy." Legg looked up at the towering city wall and couldn't help but ask, "What should we do?"
It was impossible to attack forcefully. With such a high city wall, the cavalry couldn't do anything, so Legg could only ask Li Huailin about the method that scared him to the point of pissing his pants.
"Yes, yes, I understand." Li Huailin looked at the city wall and nodded.
"Your Majesty, can you really do it?" Legg asked.
"Why do you keep suspecting me? It seems like you need to reorganize your opinion of me," Li Huailin said. "Alright, let's start assigning tasks. Everyone, listen up."
"Yes, Your Majesty." All the soldiers shouted.
"Stand here and wait. When you hear a loud 'dong' sound at the city gate, rush in and kill anyone you see," Li Huailin said.
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned. Why did these words sound so familiar? After thinking for a while, someone remembered that Li Huailin had given the order when the 2nd Division told them to attack the previous stronghold. Why was he doing it again?
"Your Majesty, the dragon is here?" Of course, Legg also knew about what happened yesterday. Although he came after the battle yesterday, he still asked about the situation of the battle yesterday.
"Not yet." Li Huailin spread out his hands.
"Ah? Then … "
"Alright, that's it." Li Huailin waved his hand to interrupt. Just as he was about to walk forward, he suddenly remembered something. "Oh right, the troops split up and leave a passage in the middle. Yes, split up a bit like this, split up a bit more, alright."
According to Li Huailin's instructions, the troops split into two square formations on the left and right. Of course, at this time, no one understood what was going on. Li Huailin continued, "You guys wait here. It'll probably take a few minutes. Anyway, if you hear the sound, just go, understand?"
"Yes, Your Majesty," all the soldiers replied.
After saying that, Li Huailin nodded and walked directly in the direction of the city gate. Yes, Li Huailin actually walked over just like that. Of course, all the soldiers were shocked. What was Li Huailin planning to do? Was he going to negotiate with the other party alone? But there was clearly a language barrier.
Of course, Legg also wanted to go forward, but he was immediately stopped by Li Huailin. "I told you to wait, stand properly."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Legg nodded and could only stand where he was. After thinking about it, His Majesty was, after all, an adventurer. Although it was dangerous, it didn't seem to be too big of a deal. But even knowing this, Legg still couldn't help but worry. What if the city gate suddenly opened and two people rushed out to capture Li Huailin and lock him up? However, as Li Huailin approached the city gate step by step, there didn't seem to be any movements in the city. No one rushed out, nor did anyone shoot arrows. The other party probably wanted to see what Li Huailin wanted to do.
Due to maintaining a safe distance, Li Huailin's figure became fainter and fainter as he walked a little. Legg had been paying attention to Li Huailin's situation. In the blink of an eye, Li Huailin suddenly disappeared in front of him.
"Eh? Where's His Majesty? "Legg asked.
"No … I don't know. He suddenly disappeared," the soldier beside him said.
"Huh?" Legg was stunned. "This …"
"Marshal, what should we do?" the soldier asked.
"Wait a moment … His Majesty said to wait a few minutes …" Legg was also anxious, but he still said that.
