This black general's name was Ainluo. His head was like a black tiger, his face was like a millstone, his body was like an iron tower, and he had a pair of big eyes like copper bells. He had a flat nose and wide ears, and he breathed like a bull.
His tiger-like eyes were filled with power, and he was extremely domineering. He had spent his entire life in the army, and he was ranked 91st on the list of meritorious generals. He was a famous vanguard general, and he never gave up in a bloody battle. He was once hit by 18 arrows, but he did not fall. He risked his life to capture the city gate, and he was known as Little Blackie.
Standing in front of him was a rather young white faced general. He looked like he was about 17 or 18 years old, but in the eyes of the veterans in the army, he was still a child.
He held a Mithril Holy Sword, a golden tiger-winged helmet, and a silver chainmail inlaid with jade. On his feet were thick boots made of dragon skin. His face was full of peach blossoms, and he wore luxurious clothes and a sword. He was really good looking, but if you looked closely, you would notice that he was less majestic. His face was more feminine, white like jade, pink skin, red lips, and a smile on his lips. He looked more like a prostitute than a general.
If you looked down on him because of his appearance, you would be making a big mistake!
The silver sword in his hand was the famous Pale Justice, and it had cut down evil dragons and Liches. Think about it, the sword chooses its master. Can an ordinary person hold this sword? Can this person be an ordinary person?
The Silver Armored General's full name was Roland. He was not even 16 years old, but he had already spent half of his life on the battlefield. He was a famous young general, and people called him the Silver Dragon.
Don't be fooled by his young face. He could go out of the palace hall and into the kitchen. His silver sword was stained with the blood of villains, and his illustrious achievements shocked the whole of Aichy. Even that pair of dragon skin boots was taken from the super evil Nine-headed Dragon that hunted in the wilderness. How could such a person be simple?
These two generals were famous for their bad tempers, and they were even more famous for being stubborn and not listening to advice. Now that the two of them had different opinions about the war, they naturally drew their weapons and fought each other. It could be said that they were really at each other's throats.
The Fengshui of the Black and White Generals were originally at odds with each other, and their grievances were deep. With the eruption, it was like a black tiger fighting a white dragon. It was a battle between a dragon and a tiger.
In the main hall, at the center of the stage, the two of them glared at each other. The black-faced one felt that the white-faced one's face was too tender and unreliable, while the white-faced one felt that the black-faced one was too ugly and frightening. For a moment, a murderous aura and a domineering aura filled the air.
Finally, the two of them walked closer and closer until they were face to face, eye to eye, and then … their lips collided! Yes, they actually clashed together because they appreciated each other's talent!
"This is the victory of the great spirit! This was the final victory of the fujoshi! At that moment, Roland felt that he had inherited the glorious tradition of all philosophers. Abu Gaohe (a famous gay man) and Billy King (an even more famous gay man) had their souls possessed at this moment! Roland represents the long history and tradition of heterosexuality in Aichy. At this moment, he is not fighting alone. He is not alone! "
"Eliza, it's one thing for you to read books in my ear, but now you're talking about all this nonsense. I'm going to send you back to the Abyss immediately! I mean what I say! "
I roared angrily in my heart. The next moment, Eliza, who was intentionally making up stories and then suddenly being possessed by a certain narrator, finally shut up.
Yep, those were all stories that Eliza made up on the spot. They were definitely not true! I was never a gay man, definitely not!
Now that my ear had quietened down, I was also in the mood to consider the opponent before me.
"'Black Bear' Ainro, Suo An, from San Antonio. Forty-four years old, Earl of military merit. Twenty-seven years in the army. He rose step by step from an ordinary Knight to a general. He often takes the lead and leads the charge. His most famous battle achievement is that he led the army to traverse several hundred kilometers of mountain roads in a single night, breaking through the encirclement set up by the neighboring country, and counterattacking the enemy's four cities."
"Comments on the Famous Generals Ranking: An experienced veteran general. His tactics are experienced and orthodox. He doesn't like to use surprise attacks. He doesn't have any particularly brilliant strategies, but he also doesn't have any obvious weaknesses. He has never suffered major defeats. He dares to fight at critical moments and is able to fight his way out of desperate situations. He's a brave general, not a wise one. "
Eliza's strong point was that although she usually had a sharp tongue and often gave me "surprises," she would never make any mistakes when it came to proper business.
I asked her to provide me information on the enemy. Although she gave me a bunch of random information, she also gave me what I wanted.
"A practical general who isn't an academic? Doesn't that mean he's an antique? That's rather troublesome. Ha, no weaknesses, and no strengths? Isn't that just another way of saying that he's full of weaknesses? "
"Um, may I ask what you think an academic military strategist is?"
"A bookworm who only knows how to use classic tactics. All he needs to do is draw a circle and the enemy will crawl into it. He's super easy to deal with."
"… Do you want to know your own evaluation? One of them is about how you use troops. "
"Yep, you have one? Of course, I'm intending to buy one from the fairies when I get back. It's great that you have one. "
"'Undying Roland,' Roland Mist, the last prince of the Mist Kingdom. His other famous identity is the strongest undead mage in recent times, Emperor Yongye. He's also the direct creator of the Xiluo Empire and the highest leader in name. He's ranked thirty-third on the Calamity Rankings because of this. As for why he's called undying, it's because he has an inconceivable ability to revive. He's also one of the few existences who's able to reincarnate and retain his sense of self. He's also the only existence who can revive multiple times. "
"According to an insider, he's incredibly sly and holds grudges. If you're unlucky enough to meet him and offend him … it's said that he'll unhesitatingly use a hundred years to take revenge. And if you really do offend him, he'll definitely be undying. That's why I hope you're on your own. Of course, you can also consider our Fairy Insurance's life-insurance service. (It's impossible for us to help you, but we can at least send the insurance to your descendants.)"
"According to unverifiable information (the latest information from this year), he once transformed into the 'Baron Blackhand' Roland Chanem and the 'Aurora Sword Saint' Rolo Tambor to travel around the world. Before the reason why he's undying is revealed, it'll probably be the end of the world. He'll still be alive and well. I'll say it again, don't ever offend him. Otherwise, when you're old, this incredibly shameless scammer of love might come looking for your granddaughter to date. (This is the exact words of an insider who claims to have been scammed by him in the past. The insider is said to be his senior schoolmate. This information is highly reliable.) From this, it can be seen that he's quite a playboy … "
Alright then, should I exclaim that I've finally found a soulmate? Although this sounded like a disgusting description of a creature that couldn't die no matter what, and although this description was filled with malice, at least some secrets were correct. And then, I viciously glared at Amelia, who was pretending to be innocent.
"A senior schoolmate whose feelings were scammed? Amelia! No matter how you think about it, it's always you! You actually dare to slander me? At the very least, at the very least … "
My angry glare was met with a cold sneer from a certain senior schoolmate.
"… At the very least, you should give me half of the information fee. Why are you taking this free money for yourself!?"
"Is that the point? Hey, Roland, you're even more shameless than before! "
Alright, I ignored the astonished Amelia and brought my attention back to the main topic at hand. Eliza was still reading the information about me.
"… No matter if he's the Prince of the Mist Kingdom, Emperor Yongye, or even the 'Baron Black Hand,' he has records of leading armies in battle, and his tactics are basically the same. One of the main reasons why Yongye was able to sweep through all the countries was because of his outstanding military strategy. Yongye loved to use surprise troops, but he wasn't afraid of direct combat. Yongye's most obvious trait was that he wouldn't fight head-on unless he had absolute confidence in winning. The most typical example would be when he fought against the Elven Kingdom of Sobe. The Elven Kingdom's main army was three times larger than his, and they even had the Radiance Blade elite army, which was the bane of the undead. However, Yongye sent out a large number of elite troops to harass and restrain the Elven Kingdom's main army. The Elven Kingdom's main army was split into small groups, and the Elven Kingdom's main army was forced to stall for one and a half years. In the end, the Elven Kingdom's undead army was able to obtain victory through battle. "
It would seem that my evaluation of Yongye was quite accurate. At the very least, I didn't miss out on the battle that I was most proud of. Yongye's tactics weren't anything new. It was nothing more than a variation of guerrilla warfare. However, only the undead, who weren't afraid of sacrificing themselves, would be able to carry out such suicidal harassment tactics to the end.
"When he was a human prince, Yongye left behind some of his books: 'Guerrilla Tactics', 'Gathering Intelligence is the Number One Task in War', 'Our Goal is the Sea of Stars — Be a Coward Before You Can Win'. Yongye's flexible and ever-changing tactics had a deep influence on the later generations. Yongye's books mentioned the 'Beast-Slaughter Order', which was a long-term bounty system that used human heads in exchange for bounty money. Although there was endless criticism, it had a major impact on the later generations. Yongye's plan to use his elite aerial cavalry to attack the beastman tribes and cut off their retreat route, as well as poison and pollute their water sources, gave Yongye a fearsome reputation among the beastmen. However, from a certain standpoint, the beastman tribes, who suffered the greatest loss in history, also had the longest period of peace in modern times. The Northlands were peaceful for more than fifty years, but it was also because of this that the beastman tribes, which recovered their vitality, became strong once again. That was why the beastmen invaded the south on the largest scale in the past thousand years. "
"Due to Yongye's excellent tactics, his military theories and tactics had a great influence, and his outstanding military achievements, Yongye was once ranked sixty-eighth on the list of famous generals in history. However, due to the protests of various countries that had historical ties with him and the pressure from the various Gods' churches, Yongye was finally removed from the list. However, Yongye's military achievements and ability to command troops were indeed on the War God Ranking. Also, due to his indestructible nature, he would probably remain in the top forty of the list for a long time. "
I didn't know how to evaluate Yongye's words. In the end, I could only sigh that I was too young back then, and that I was too extreme in my actions.
However, from a certain standpoint, I felt a little more confident. I didn't believe that the dark-skinned big guy wouldn't buy my information. Since he knew about my information, he would more or less feel a little guilty.
After all, Yongye was ranked last on the list of famous generals in history, while I was evaluated as a famous general in history. With such a comparison, it was natural that I was ranked higher. Among those in the same profession, it was natural that those who were more famous and powerful would speak more forcefully.
At this moment, Yongye seemed to have become uncomfortable with the silence after my words, so he took the initiative to ask me a question. His words were respectful, but his tone was a little harsh.
"Your Highness Roland, may I know what you think is wrong with my strategy? Please enlighten me."
I smiled as I looked at Yongye's serious expression. In that case, since it was time for negotiation, I would do the same thing as before. First, I would throw out a heavy bomb to scare him.
"If you only look at the enemy on paper, you aren't wrong. In fact, your strategy is quite appropriate. As long as you execute it well, you have at least an eighty percent chance of winning …"
Hearing this, Yongye seemed to think that he had received my praise. He rubbed his chin and smiled. However, I didn't finish my sentence. For the past three days, my scouts had been constantly traveling around and gathering information from all sides. Only after enough information had been gathered would I make a judgment.
"But I still have to say that your strategy is basically sending your soldiers to their deaths. You only see the threat on the chessboard, but you've completely forgotten about the other players who haven't entered the game yet!"
"The Earth Elemental God Ömdiroken has always been supporting the Blood Axe Tribe. Do you think that they won't interfere in such an important battle like attacking Antoon? I personally witnessed the formation of Rain City in the Ottoman Empire. The Water Elemental God and her people directly participated in the invasion of the Ottoman Empire. They don't have many restrictions, so it would be foolish to underestimate any of the Ancient Evil Gods. In my opinion, when your army is fighting against the enemy, the earthquake and the sudden appearance of the Earth Elemental God would be the best ambush. "
At this point, everyone's faces had already turned ashen. It was obvious that they had long since forgotten about the existence of the Ancient Evil Gods and believed that they wouldn't interfere in a battle between mortals.
Looking at Yongye's shocked expression, I laughed. Since I had the right to speak, then my next information bomb would be even more frightening.
"Blindly advancing without sufficient information support, I think that you're completely suicidal. And you've missed out on more than just one point. "
Yongye wanted to argue, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally shook his head and didn't say anything.
"Missing out on Ömdiroken is only one of the reasons for your defeat, and it's not the most fatal. I know that you've definitely made preparations, so don't refute me. But you've also missed out on a dangerous opponent. No, from the very start, you've never treated them as enemies. On the contrary, in your eyes, they're trustworthy allies. After all, we haven't had a war for so many years. "
"You're saying?"
"Impossible, could it be from the west? Could it be that the Wolf King is heading there? "
"No, no, it's indeed possible. Recently, their situation has been very strange. If that's the case, then the Wolf King's movements can be explained. "
As soon as I finished speaking, all the generals present stood up. This time, the black-faced Yongye was so shocked that his face paled. If this information was true, the entire world would be shocked.
"Yes, Émont's influence is far greater than you've expected. Wolf King Sostero and Fox Sage Wen are both his hardcore supporters. They've split their forces and headed west, intending to open up Fort Akesi from the back, allowing the Elven army to enter. Yes, you're right. Our most trustworthy allies with long ears have decided to stand on the opposite side from the start. They have too many grievances to settle with us. "
"The Elves are about to declare war on the humans. And the Elven Gods are about to start a Divine War against the Human Gods! And our Northern Lands are about to become the battlefield of the Divine War! "
