"Rebec said that the Shadow Duchy's troops will be deployed as cannon fodder outside the city. The main force of the Burning Legion was hiding in the city. When we attack, Rebec will order his troops to spread out on both sides, giving us the opportunity to directly attack the city. Since the Burning Legion is going to hide in the city, then let them be buried together with the Shadow Capital. "Allen stood on top of the constructed wall. On the watchtower, he looked at the Shadow Capital in the distance and said.
Roderick, who was beside him, said, "We don't have to fight the Shadow Duchy this time. We save a lot of effort."
"Rebec also wanted to preserve the Duchy's vitality. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let us off so easily. If the Shadow Duchy has the strength to bite back, I guess he will definitely pretend to be defeated and watch the fire from the other side. After we fight to the death with the Burning Legion, he will counterattack. "Allen said with a smile.
Roderick frowned and said, "It's hard to say if he doesn't have such thoughts now."
"That's right. Integrity has nothing to do with Rebec, but at the same time, he is a smart person. Especially after being pinched by the Burning Legion once, if he still doesn't know what's important, then I don't mind completely razing the Shadow Duchy. "
Roderick fell into deep thought. From Allen's tone, there was no doubt that he had the power to level the Shadow Duchy. Although he still had to use his power to deal with the Burning Legion, who said that he couldn't destroy the Shadow Duchy along the way? However, Allen had agreed to the Chaos Overseer's agreement. As long as the Shadow Duchy was obedient, he would let these outsiders go. There was probably another reason why he did this, and that was to leave a potential enemy for the Empire. In this way, even if he disappeared again, the empire would not dare to deal with the people he left behind. Otherwise, if the Shadow Duchy invaded again, the empire might be torn apart.
These arrangements and intentions were extremely far-reaching. Roderick could predict them. After this battle, the Empire entered a period of peace and quickly recovered its vitality. However, with the Shadow Duchy, a potential enemy, as a check and balance, no matter what Julian thought, he would not touch Allen's men.
Looking at Allen, Roderick could only sigh in his heart. Julian was still a little inexperienced compared to this man. Whether it was in terms of force or strategy, he was far inferior.
At this time, a group of people arrived at the bottom of the tower. The person walking in front was the Treasury Guardian, Shauna. As Allen and Roderick descended the tower, the old marshal raised his eyebrows. "Is Her Highness doing well?
”
Shana nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, Marshal. However, I am no longer a princess, so you can call me Shana."
He then knelt down on one knee in front of Allen. "Your Highness, everything is ready. We are only waiting for your order."
Roderick's face was expressionless, but his heart was extremely shaken. He did not know why Shana had abandoned her position as Princess and called Allen "Your Highness". It was obvious that she had already been used by him. Shana came from the Naga Clan. Although the Deep Sea Clan was not considered powerful, they were rich in beauties. Over the years, at the behest of Princess Shu Sha, many Naga women had become the wives and concubines of the nobles of the Empire, which had increased the influence of the Naga Clan. If Allen received the help of the Princess, it would be equivalent to having a small portion of the empire's influence. In addition, Christianity, which had been regarded as the state religion, was inextricably linked to Allen. Roderick suddenly realized that Allen's invisible influence on the empire was probably even greater than Julian's.
On the other side, Allen and Shana discussed some details of the operation. After the discussion, Shana returned to the Silver Winged Runner's encampment. Allen glanced at Roderick, who did not know where his mind had drifted, and said, "Marshal, attack the city early tomorrow morning. While there is still time, go and close your eyes. "
The old marshal nodded and walked to his main tent.
When the sky was slightly bright, the horn to assemble sounded in the barracks. The soldiers who had rested well last night put on their armor in high spirits and gathered in front of the barracks.
The sound of the horn in the human camp also attracted Astor's attention. The dragon looked at the distant battlefield and said, "It's about to begin."
Yes, it's about to begin.
Allen and Roderick rode through the passage in the middle of the phalanx and came to the front of the battle formation to mobilize before the battle. Roderick smiled and said, "I won't steal the limelight from Grand Duke Allen. Grand Duke, please do this pre-battle mobilization."
Allen did not stand on ceremony and jumped off his warhorse. Immediately, everyone on the battlefield looked at Allen. Allen was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he began to release his aura. Roderick narrowed his eyes slightly, roughly guessing Allen's intentions. He knew that he wanted to shock the soldiers' minds first, and then mobilize them. Naturally, it would be twice the result with half the effort.
This was not a rare thing. Many Imperial Great Generals would do this.
Allen quietly looked at the imperial army in front of him, and golden flames began to float up from the corner of his eyes. The Golden King Flame in his body was slowly rotating, and the King Flame and the void caused the air to hum. As a result, the already hazy sky was filled with thunderclaps.
Suddenly, vast swathes of Golden King Flame erupted from Allen's body. In this golden flame, Allen's armor began to fall off, and then a new set of armor took its place. This was a set of golden armor, covered in gorgeous but dignified patterns. A sword wheel floated behind the armor, and with a thought from Allen, the swords on the wheel immediately separated. The swords overlapped, and new blades formed between the swords. The blades stretched out layer by layer, and a few moments later, a pair of steel wings formed from swords unfurled on Allen's back!
Golden flames continued to pour out of Allen's body, and the steel wings on his back flapped as Allen left the ground. Thus, the imperial army's gazes followed suit, searching for Allen's figure. After flying into the air, Allen stopped and raised his hands. Golden flames began to float up from the sky. The hazy sky was gradually ignited by the golden flames. The flames rapidly spread, turning the entire sky into a golden sea of fire.
Allen was in this sea of fire, but the flames on his body were even brighter and more dazzling than the entire sea of fire!
At this moment, Allen was like a god who had just descended to the world. Countless people were so moved that they began to weep. Soon, large swathes of soldiers began to kneel. A few moments later, the one hundred thousand imperial soldiers all kneeled to Allen in the most humble of gestures.
Roderick closed his eyes. He knew that after this battle, this army would be unswervingly loyal to Allen. As long as Allen made the call, they would immediately betray the empire. Because Allen had already become a god in their hearts, one that would never change even in death!
