Maccon really didn't know what he was talking about with the enemy's commander. He would believe him if he said he could guess the enemy's actions, but why did he have to give such an unbelievable reason? Yes, he did hear about the previous situation from Soudeis. Although the battle was successful, Maccon certainly didn't believe that he had an agreement with the enemy's commander. He reckoned that His Majesty had already predicted the enemy's actions and set up an ambush in advance. After all, it was really hard to believe.
Of course, although Maccon didn't believe Li Huailin's reason, he still believed in Li Huailin's judgment. After all, Li Huailin's reputation as the God of War had never been wrong in his judgment until now. Maccon couldn't figure out why the people in the city would choose to open the gate now. If it were him, he would definitely not open the gate.
They were currently at the north gate of Hildears City. Previously, they attacked the east gate. Just as they attacked the east gate, Maccon's troops quietly went around the east gate and set up an ambush near the entrance of the north gate. Although there weren't many of them, if the enemy really opened the gate, their surprise attack would definitely succeed. But if the enemy didn't open the gate, they would be in an awkward position and couldn't do anything.
Maccon's side had been watching the situation at the north gate nervously. So far, it was completely silent, as if there were no movements at all. Just as he was secretly anxious, everyone suddenly heard the 'ka-ka-ka' sound of chains. Then, the city gate in front of them seemed to be slowly opening.
"Really … really opened the gate?" Maccon said with a little uncertainty. They were still a little far from the city gate, and because of the black mist in between, they couldn't see the situation at the gate clearly. However, the 'ka-ka-ka' sound of chains was still relatively clear in this environment. Even Maccon didn't believe that the enemy would really open the gate.
"Alright, get ready." Li Huailin already knew about it, so he immediately waved his hand and said.
Of course, what Li Huailin said was true. He really had an agreement with the other side to set up an ambush here. Previously, Li Huailin had directly entered the church meeting and provided them with 'confidential information'. Of course, the church didn't know that Li Huailin and the others couldn't do anything to the city wall. The news they heard was that the enemy's army of hundreds of thousands had surrounded Hildears City. Seeing that Hildears was on the brink of collapse, they naturally had to think of any way to protect themselves.
Therefore, after Li Huailin revealed the location of the enemy's rations, the first thing everyone thought of was to attack the enemy's rations. Now that the enemy had such a huge army, they naturally had to rely on rations to support them. Without rations, the enemy would definitely retreat.
According to their calculations, their first and second legions should still be on their way back. As long as they could survive this most dangerous period and force the enemy to retreat temporarily, they could wait for their first and second legions to return. Then, Hildears City would of course be stable, and they would be relieved.
Of course, what they didn't know was that Li Huailin's army didn't actually bring much rations. Originally, bringing along the supply troops was already a drag on the army's speed. Moreover, Li Huailin didn't intend to play with them at all. The enemy's bishop was already on his side, so if he couldn't resolve the battle in a short time, wouldn't it be too embarrassing? Therefore, from the beginning, Li Huailin let the troops travel lightly. Yes, if they really attacked the city now, in a few days, Li Huailin's troops would run into rations problems. But the high-level apostles didn't know that they could actually block Li Huailin's attack without doing anything. If they knew, they would probably want to slap themselves a few times.
Of course, the main reason was still Sonia. If it weren't for her, no one would believe Li Huailin's words at all, and the church would basically choose to defend to the death. But now, Sonia was on Li Huailin's side, and the highest commanders on both sides were on the same side. Wouldn't it be too easy to trap these high-level apostles?
Therefore, after Li Huailin provided this' top-secret intelligence ', the church immediately arranged their surprise attack plan. According to the location marked on the map by Li Huailin, the enemy's rations were indeed in a position behind the enemy's army. Of course, there were also people guarding it. However, from their point of view, the enemy definitely wouldn't have guessed that they would dare to leave the city at this time, and they also wouldn't have guessed that they would accurately know the location of the enemy's rations.
The few of them thought about it and came up with this plan. They would send troops from the north gate, sneakily take a detour to the enemy's rear, and then launch an attack. Most of the high-level apostles agreed to this plan, and of course, Sonia's side would definitely agree as well. But there were also people who raised objections, mainly because it was more dangerous to open the city gate.
But after all, this matter was hard to predict. The enemy couldn't possibly have predicted that they would open the city gate, right? Unless the news spread out, but how could the news spread out? They were the only ones who knew about this plan. Sonia, as well as Li Huailin, who Sonia had promised to be on their side, were the only ones who knew about this plan, unless Sonia betrayed them. Unless Sonia sold them out, no one expected that their Church Master would sell them out. Therefore, these doubtful people were quickly convinced by another group of people who advocated attacking.
Since the plan was approved, all that was left was to implement it. First of all, the executors of this plan had to be the direct troops of the Church. This group of civilian troops couldn't be used. They could stand on the city walls and put up a front, but they wouldn't be able to carry out a military operation.
It was apparent that the high-level apostles were aware of this situation, so they agreed to the plan without any surprise. Of course, the civilians in the city couldn't be left without a leader, so they decided to gather 5,000 direct troops and send them out of the city to attack the enemy's rations.
Of course, these 5000 people were basically the type of people who would never return. After raiding someone else's rations, it was impossible for them to return. After all, the Church wouldn't open the door for them. They could just tell them to scatter and run after the raid.
It was such a dangerous mission, but the troops under the direct command of the church accepted it without any hesitation. They were all loyal believers of Byakee, and one of the requirements to join this troop was to be a loyal fan, and a loyal fan who had been brainwashed by the church for too long. When they heard that the Great God they believed in needed them to contribute their strength and lives, this group of die-hard fans actually didn't think much and directly patted their chests in agreement.
Everything went smoothly, so the plan was executed immediately. While the battle on the east side was still ongoing, this ambush troop had secretly gathered near the north gate, waiting for the right time to move out.
Soon, the opportunity arrived. Or perhaps it should be said that they had to attack because the battle on the east side had temporarily stopped. Someone asked, "What's the timing?" As a matter of fact, it was Sonia's suggestion. Now that the enemy's attack had stopped, it was apparent that the east side was heavily defended and they might choose to attack from the other sides. Therefore, there was a high possibility that they would surround the entire city. If they didn't leave now, perhaps they wouldn't have a chance to do so in the future. While the enemy hadn't completely surrounded the city, they should seize this opportunity to send them out.
Everyone felt that Sonia's suggestion made sense. The previous attack was probably the enemy's probing attack. Now that they realized that they couldn't attack the city in a short time, perhaps they would choose to surround the city and attack slowly. When that happened, they wouldn't be able to escape even if they wanted to. It was useless even if they knew the location of the enemy's rations. This could be said to be their last chance. In that case, there was nothing more to say. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the troops would definitely head out immediately.
Of course, these words were conveyed to Sonia by Li Huailin. He needed to check on the situation at the city gate, so he left it to Sonia to relay the message. He didn't want to waste too much time and would rather settle the matter today. Therefore, he chose a good time for the enemy to make their move.
Shortly after, Li Huailin led a troop to the north gate to set up an ambush. At the same time, the Church's troops were preparing to open the gate to attack Li Huailin's non-existent rations team.
"Your … Your Majesty, the gate has really opened." At this time, Macken could see clearly that the huge city gate was slowly opening. Of course, this made him a little excited.
"Shh, wait a little longer." Li Huailin said. "Don't worry, they have a lot of troops. We'll attack when half of them are out."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Of course, Maccon knew that it was best to attack when the enemy was halfway out. When that happened, the enemy wouldn't be able to escape or retreat.
Hence, the scene fell silent for a period of time as though the calm before the storm. When more than a thousand Sektor Star Beasts had already poured out from the north gate, Li Huailin suddenly stood up from his hiding place.
"Attack," Li Huailin said calmly.
"Everyone, attack! Occupy the city gate!" Maccon stood up and yelled.
"Charge!" In an instant, all the troops stood up, and the troops that had long been prepared charged towards the city gate.
"What? Enemy attack? " Of course, the Sechtor Star Beasts also saw the troops charging towards them. Facing the ferocious human army that was charging towards them, the first reaction of the Sechtor monsters was … to be scared out of their wits.
