The morning mist shrouded the earth. Because the trade had stopped, no one could be seen on the road from the city gate to the ferry. However, there were a lot of wild animals running back and forth faintly. After the morning mist dissipated, they could see the teams that had gathered on the other side of the river. At this time, they had begun to use boats to transport soldiers and supplies back and forth.
Looking into the distance, this army actually stretched for more than a few kilometers, and their equipment and clothing were all different. Some formations were scattered, some were neat, but at the moment, it seemed that there was a basic order.
The width of the ferry port was only more than 100 meters. Under the command of the Thukk Clan soldiers in dark red armor, the troops of all kinds staggered onto the boat. There was no sense of tension at all.
In the command post in the middle of this army, the "Scepter Priest" Udora in a white robe was frowning and looking forward. She was far less relaxed than those soldiers.
She was about 1.7 meters tall. Compared with General Kasley who was stationed in the city, she was thin and had no muscles at all. After all, the 'generals' and 'priests' in the Thukk Tribe were almost two extremes. The generals were all strong women with bulging muscles, while the priests were mostly skinnier, and in comparison, they were more attractive.
Udora was the commander of the current complicated army, and she was also one of the three people with the highest position in this action of Eskar.
In a religious country, all the "rulers" also had important clerical identities. Not to mention the king of Eskar, the monarch was also the only existence with "God-given monarchical power". Udora's mother was one of the 12 high priests, and she was the most powerful person in the current younger generation of the "Laochi" family. If they could win this war steadily, they would definitely enter the decision-making level of the "12 high priests" in the future.
This kind of new generation leader was far more knowledgeable and cultivated than others, and also more cautious.
At this moment, Udora was anxiously waiting for the news from Rasia City — Kasley would send people to report the situation in the city and the information of the enemy three times a day. However, the soldiers who should have arrived before dawn did not come until noon.
"They haven't arrived yet. There might be a problem in the city."
Udora let out a sigh and turned around to ask her aides in the tent. Tuk Tribe was mainly composed of women, so more than half of them were slender women. However, they didn't talk about clothes or makeup skills here. Instead, they were holding parchments in their hands and making all kinds of decisions for the entire army of 40,000 people.
Hearing Udora's question, an advisor nearby immediately said, "The scouts in front have finished crossing the river. At present, 500 of our people have crossed the river, and there are two infantries from Jik Country and Tesi Country. The cavalry of Bindu Country is more troublesome to transport. Their camels are transported slowly by boat …"
"Then let the scouts quickly go to the city to investigate. Remember to tell them to be careful. Even if the city gates are open, don't let them in."
The anxiety in Udora's heart is getting stronger and stronger. However, the defense of La Xia City is impregnable. It is impossible for Lassman and his men to attack it in just a few days. Kasley's previous report to him could be said to be full of confidence. She had never mentioned the possibility of losing.
Even if there was an attack, they should be able to see black smoke rising from the city walls at this distance.
But everything was so quiet … until the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the distance.
"Damn it … it's Lassman's cavalry!"
Udora saw the blue flag that only Lassman's army used from afar. Her movement at this time shouldn't have been discovered. Because last night, Kasley sent a message saying that Lassman's army was still stationed 20 kilometers away …
Seeing that there were only about 200 people in this team, Udora didn't panic too much. Instead, she immediately ordered the army that had crossed the river to form a formation to fight.
The number of Lassman's cavalry had always been very small because the local horses were very short and not suitable for cavalry. Only nomadic tribes like Bindu in the south had enough war horses and camels to charge. Therefore, it was not a problem for the team that had been on the shore for two hours to deal with the cavalry — as she expected, the "miscellaneous army" of Tuk Tribe in the front of the team, after barely forming a formation, the 200 cavalrymen who rushed to the front lost the courage to attack. They could only choose to take a detour at the last moment. They used a few "Fireball Spell" scrolls which were not very powerful as a test from a distance.
Obviously, there was the same fragment in the formation to ensure the existence of the "anti-magic field". The fireball only blew away five or six soldiers who were holding shields and wearing shell-like armor at the edge of the formation. The rest of the fireballs that fell in the formation were instantly extinguished and did not cause any damage at all.
Seeing this situation, this group of cavalrymen immediately went to La Xia City without looking back, leaving a cloud of smoke behind.
Udora squinted at the scene on the other side of the river and had a general judgment in her mind. The scouts who came back also reported the news: Kasley's garrison in La Xia City had disappeared, and there were soldiers in strange clothes on the city wall, but not many of them. The Lassman army in the distance seemed to have just started moving toward La Xia City. The troops were long and scattered. The cavalrymen who had just arrived were from these troops.
"With their speed, how long will it take for all of them to enter the city?"
Udora immediately realized the problem and turned her head to ask the advisors.
After these advisors who were proficient in calculations carefully asked the scouts for more details, they gave an answer in less than two to three minutes. "Lord Priest, their entire army of forty thousand people will only be able to completely enter the city at around sunset. However, if the first batch of mobile troops were to speed up, they would be able to arrive two hours before sunset."
Taking a look at the map of La Xia City, Udora immediately ordered, "Speed up the troops crossing the river immediately! I want to see 3,000 troops ready to attack the city before noon. From now on, transport the cavalry troops first! "
As soon as the military order was given, the advisors immediately began to discuss and formulate a plan to achieve the plan as soon as possible. After Udora confirmed it, she left a mark on the parchment with her divine power and quickly passed it on — but compared with the order in the command tent, the troops outside were obviously more chaotic.
Fortunately, these advisors' orders were very targeted. Even in such chaos, the troops that were named quickly "jumped the queue" to the front of the river crossing port and began to quickly march to the other side of the river …
