"You want to disobey orders?" Peng Ruo narrowed his eyes.
Guan Jin's jaw dropped. Why didn't he know?
Even so, creating a large siege ship was a time-consuming and laborious task. It took up to three years to complete, and it was a daunting task. Bai Yue and Guan Jin had never heard of 10 large scale siege boats appearing at the same time, and suddenly hearing that there were 22 large scale siege boats, how could they believe it.
Large-scale siege ships were one of the best combat units in the Sacred Galaxy. Among the siege weapons, they were the undisputed kings. The Large Sieging Ships were extremely large, and were the largest warships, resembling a moving stronghold.
Pang Ruo glanced at the dazed Bai Yue and continued: "The Southern Alliance's strength is actually much stronger than I thought. If the Ocean Guardian Stronghold could not stop Gou Cheng WenDao, they could only retreat to the Shang Continent. The Shang Continent's estuary was very small, and large scale siege boats were unable to enter, even medium scale siege boats were unable to enter. To the Southern Alliance, their only chance was to set the battlefield in the Shang Continent. If the Honorable Martial Continent truly wants to take over the Shang Continent, Gou Cheng WenDao will have to send troops into the Shang Continent, and at that time, the large scale siege boats will be at their weakest, and to us, that is our only chance. "
Guan Jin immediately understood, the old general was prepared to use the Southern Alliance as bait. But he had to admit that this was an excellent plan, and it was also the only one that could be realized at the moment.
Watching the old general leave expressionlessly, Guan Jin's face darkened. "Milord, why didn't this subordinate know about such important information?"
Peng Ruo revealed a look of disappointment, Bai Yue's words did not have any useful content. Xie Yu An was not one to sit and wait for death, the Southern Alliance's Commander in Chief was not one to sit and wait for death, so what was the use? In the face of absolute power, such arguments were laughable.
Guan Jin also revealed a look of suspicion. This news was truly too shocking.
Regardless of how one looked at it, the White Crow Army held more weight than the SouthernAlliance Commander in Chief.
The Honorable Martial Continent had been operating on the strategy of encroaching on others for many years, although there were no large scale wars, there were always small scale wars. The various armies of the Honorable Martial Continent all had ample battle experience. As for the Southern Region Armies, most of them were just for show. Killing pirates was already considered a rare battle experience, and many of the armies had never been in a real battle ever since they were formed.
Bai Yue laughed.
Bai Yue was an outstanding general, and such a low level mistake should not have happened to him.
He didn't say the rest, nor did he need to.
Any stronghold would be as fragile as a piece of paper in front of this unprecedented scale of siege fleets. There was no defensive line that could stop these war beasts. They had lost their defensive advantage on the battlefield.
Bai Yue laughed: "Oh oh oh, that was the decision I just made."
Peng Ruo sighed in his heart. He didn't have the slightest intention of mocking them. When he first received the news, his reaction was even worse than the two of them. However, he was a veteran general with rich combat experience. Even in a hopeless situation, he would not despair.
Guan Jin looked at the old general in confusion.
Seeing Bai Yue's firm attitude, Peng Ruo did not waste any more time, and said: "I hope you do not regret this decision."
Guan Jin looked at Bai Yue, in the entire Southern Region, only the White Crow Army and the Sacred Pagoda Army could complete the mission, but the allied armies needed the old generals to hold the fort, thus the mission could only fall onto them.
Large scale siege boats that targeted strongholds required a lot of top notch technology. There were many weapon merchants in the Sacred Saint Galaxy, but there were only three that had the ability to manufacture large scale siege boats. For example, the Xu Ji Worldwide Commerce, which could be called a weapon merchant in the Southern Region, was unable to manufacture them.
But, it was the most urgent time.
If not for General Peng Ruo standing in front of him, he would have thrown him out long ago.
But, with the appearance of the war beasts, it instantly shattered his confidence.
The astonishing size required an even more astonishing amount of precious materials, and that was one of the reasons why they were so expensive. And the other reason was that the difficulty of manufacturing them was extremely high, and similarly reached the highest level.
The slow war beasts could easily crush all of the defensive lines, and with the loss of their defensive advantage, the Honorable Martial Continent's army would be able to charge in. At that time, the situation would deteriorate to the point of no return.
The smile on Bai Yue's face disappeared, and he said indifferently.
He was waiting for Bai Yue's explanation.
"The Southern Alliance's defensive line will soon fall, and the Shang Continent will not be able to hold on." The old general said: "After taking over the Shang Continent, with the benefits of the Black Gold, our situation will become even worse. We need to think of a way to destroy the large scale siege boats, no matter how many casualties we have to pay, if not …. "
Peng Ruo frowned, he never thought that at such a stage, Bai Yue would still be hoping for a fluke. He was surprised, after fighting alongside Bai Yue for the past few days, he had gradually understood Bai Yue, and knew that he was not an irresolute and hesitant general.
Seeing Bai Yue's shameless look, Guan Jin's anger dissipated for some reason.
It was the first time that Peng Ruo was interested in the so called Commander in Chief of the Southern Alliance.
The Honorable Martial Continent's orders were unified, and once they made a decision, they would be united and determined. Although he was the commander in chief of the allied forces in name, but there were many factions below him, and their relationships were complicated, and there were many cases of people agreeing in public but opposing in private.
"It is difficult." The old general nodded his head: "But no matter how difficult it is, we need to destroy them. The Ocean Guardian Stronghold will definitely not be able to hold on, and even the Southern Alliance's defensive line will definitely be destroyed. If the Honorable Martial Continent truly plans to take over the Shang Continent, we might have a chance. "
Bai Yue jumped up, as though he was shocked, he quickly shook his head: "22 large scale siege boats? Impossible! How can the Honorable Martial Continent have so many large scale siege boats! 22 of them, stop joking, do the entire Sacred Saint Galaxy even have 22 large scale siege boats? "
Guan Jin was also waiting for his Master's explanation, to him, it was their only chance, and he did not understand why his Master would hesitate on such a crucial matter.
Bai Yue suddenly raised his head, and unexpectedly, he shook his head: "The situation might not be that bad."
The old general's face became gloomy, when he saw the news, his first reaction was disbelief. Only after confirming it repeatedly did he find out that the ridiculous news was actually true, and his heart sank to the bottom.
After fighting with Qiu Xu Hua, Peng Ruo had a direct understanding of the Honorable Martial Continent's armies' fighting capabilities. If not for Bai Yue's sudden attack, the allied forces would have been doomed. Fighting in their home ground, the Southern Region armies did not lack fighting spirit, and the affluent Southern Region was not inferior in terms of equipment either, but the quality of the soldiers and the standard of their officers were not on the same level.
Bai Yue laughed and handed over a cup of chrysanthemum tea: "Drink some tea, it will cool you down."
Peng Ruo did not say anything, he only looked at Bai Yue, who did not have any trace of panic on his face, nor was he pretending. He was slightly disappointed, but more than that, he was surprised. ~ The White Crow Army is actually listening to the orders of the Southern Alliance's commander in chief? ~
22 large scale siege boats were crushing their way, they were unstoppable, if not for their extremely slow speed, they would not even have the chance. Even so, they had to retreat at full speed, and only then would they have a chance. If they were to delay, the time they had would disappear.
"We cannot delay any longer." Peng Ruo immediately made a decision, and said coldly: "As the commander in chief of the allied forces, I order the White Crow Army to immediately carry out the orders!"
As he said that, his eyes slowly lit up: "Furthermore, their commander in chief is not one to sit still and wait for death."
Who knew that the White Crow Army would listen to the Southern Alliance's orders, there were too many thought-provoking things. The outside world thought that the Bai Family was investing in the Southern Alliance, and not fully joining them. But from the looks of it, it was different from what everyone thought.
But, the war beasts belonged to the other side of the battlefield, causing the old general to tremble.
Peng Ruo did not look like he was joking: "I have already confirmed it."
"The situation will not be that bad." Bai Yue repeated his words, while organizing his thoughts, thinking about how to organize his words: "The Ocean Guardian Stronghold is defended by Xie Yu An, the stronghold that he has set up will not be destroyed so easily. Even if the enemy has so many large scale siege boats, it will not be easy. I know him well, he is not one to sit still and wait for death. "
To the Southern Region, it was definitely the worst news.
"Time is of the essence, I hope that your army can move out now. We will launch an attack on Qiu Xu Hua, and cover your retreat. "The old general said.
22 large scale siege boats, the most luxurious fleet in history, caused the old general to be at a loss, ~ The unprecedented scale of war beasts gathered together, it will definitely be a spectacular sight. ~
Guan Jin bit his lips, causing them to turn white: "It will be difficult, Gou Cheng WenDao will definitely protect the large scale siege boats with all his might."
"I am sorry, I am not under the control of the allied forces." Bai Yue kept the smile on his face, and said calmly: "The White Crow Army belongs to the Southern Alliance, and only listens to the orders of the Southern Alliance's Commander in Chief."
This did not cause the old general to lose confidence in the situation, because they were fighting in their own territory, with the advantage of defense, they had sufficient depth, although they would have to pay a huge price, but as long as they could drag the enemy into a stalemate, the final victory would belong to them.
"What!"
The White Crow Army was a Gold Rank Army with an extraordinary position, and the current Southern Region only had two Gold Rank Armies left, if not for Bai Yue's lack of prestige, he could even pull out an allied army like Peng Ruo.
Guan Jin was startled, but then a surge of anger surged: "Master, do you know what this decision means? How many people in the Southern Region have died because of this decision? This subordinate does not understand, why is Master so confident in them, even in such an irreversible situation, Master actually thinks that they have a way, and made such a rash decision …. "
"Time will prove everything." Bai Yue replied.
Only the top grade weapons merchants with immense wealth and technology could manufacture large scale siege boats.
"Time will prove everything."
Bai Yue's mouth was wide open, but no sound came out, his face without any color. Guan Jin, who was beside him, had an equally pale face.
