Chapter 1990: Chapter 636: Glory and Dreams (Part 3)
“Brick Rain?” Not only was His Majesty the King a bit confused, but the two Swan Tribe chiefs were also puzzled.
“Yes!” The Cat-person commander giggled: “Our ‘basket shells’ tend to co apart in flight, making ten out of eight fall apart mid-air… those that don’t only make a few at patties when they hit, but the ones that do fall apart can knock down an entire area!”
His Majesty the King closed his eyes and reminisced for a mont. Well… Witherspoon has a total of one hundred and twenty pendulum stone throwers, forty tower cranes provided by the humans, twenty spoon-style stone throwers captured from the Mulan Empire, and forty miscellaneous stone throwers supported by Florence. This ans Witherspoon can launch two hundred and twenty ‘basket shells’ in a single volley. Assuming each ‘basket shell’ holds two hundred bricks, they can instantly rain down thirty to forty thousand bricks of various shapes!
“Damn!” Even though His Majesty the King is the first Beamon warrior, the idea of tens of thousands of bricks falling from the sky is still a bit terrifying.
“Unfortunately, Brut has recruited almost all the high priests with plant pets into the Temple Knights. Witherspoon is making a fortune, but we in Sabak don’t have such an advantage,” the Cat-person communication officer both envied and regretted: “My Majesty, we have plenty of ‘basket shells’ in Sabak, but what about plant pets? Should we call back the Temple Knights…”
“No need, we have over two thousand Burton Demons, and not every high priest with plant pets has left. Aren’t the priests of the Southern Province and the Sy Clan in Sabak?” The Beamon King sighed deeply: “Too bad the Northeast Province isn’t a major cavalry region! Such a good opportunity is wasted. If we could pursue and attack these defeated Mulan troops, who knows how much more could be achieved!”
The Southeast Province’s Wolf people have been dispersed in batches, half to the Northeast Province and the other half to the Southern Province. Although Witherspoon has so Wolf Tribe Beamon, they can’t muster many adult warriors due to the prior conscription of one hundred thousand dead soldiers.
“Two lords, My esteed Majesty,” the Cat-person communication officer smiled proudly and confidently, “Since I’ve returned, our Majesty has already gone after those fleeing Mulan troops, and he doesn’t intend to let them escape!”
“Oh? I thought he was busy recording Edwey, teaching the Vassal Clan warriors combat techniques,” the king chuckled.
“Lord Dudley, relying solely on the air force to chase Mulanese might yield considerable results, but compared to the total number of enemies, it’s a bit lacking,” Mourinho shrugged at the Cat-person communication officer. “The cavalry in the Northeast Province aren’t very elite, while the chestnut cals of these Mulan vanguard are very majestic. Besides the Phantom Beast air force, our cavalry can’t catch up with them.”
“I’m not very sure about this,” the communication officer Garfield Dudley shook his head. “But I vaguely heard General Reyes ntion that His Majesty Richard seems more inclined to intercept midway using a magic teleportation array rather than using flying units to pursue the enemy.”
“The Piegel warriors can’t handle this kind of task; they’re infantry. Even if they form a phalanx, they can’t withstand the wild charge of the Mulan cals. Although the enemy is disorganized, they still have a number advantage, and not all officers are dead; they know how to rally the remaining troops,” Mourinho shook his head, sowhat impolitely assessing the combat effectiveness of the Piegel warriors.
“The Northeast Turen Corps has only twenty thousand in its current formation. This ti Witherspoon expanded the army to two hundred thousand. Most of these Piegel herders have undergone short-term military training, but they need a learning process for combat. After all, they are not natural Beamon warriors,” His Majesty nodded. “I’ve always worried that these amateur soldiers, who just put down their pastures, might flee at the sight of the enemy. That’s why Richard was placed in the Northeast! To familiarize them with the battlefield atmosphere. After two or three battles, real warriors will erge.”
“But… why did Witherspoon’s Mulan army brazenly siege? Don’t they understand their limitations?” The old Duke Bruckner smacked his lips repeatedly, still puzzled: “They have no long-range weapons or siege apparatus, just foolishly sending themselves to death? Isn’t this helping us train our troops?”
“I guess it’s because of a certain artifact of Richard’s that made the Mulanese green with envy. That thing is truly alluring, firing magic at the speed of a waterfall!” His Majesty the King’s sharp eyes glead. “If I were in that Mulan general’s position, I would also be tempted to seize that artifact! After all, the Mulanese have Dragon Knights; even if they lose all one hundred thousand cal cavalry, they still have an army of millions, so they can afford the loss! They just don’t know that a Dragon Knight is quite inadequate in the presence of Richard. If they saw the troop composition list of Florence, it would likely scare them to death.”
“An artifact? What artifact has the effects you ntioned, Your Majesty?” Duke Sy displayed a face of confusion; the description suggests a Magic Sequence Device, but it seems too exaggerated to be just that?
“I don’t know what artifact it is; the high-ranking mbers of the Sumr Palace Guard, every piece of equipnt they have is an artifact. I’m too lazy to ask for nas,” King Sal laughed heartily without reserve. “If there were a few more Sumr Palace Guards like Nedved, who can take down the Witch King or the Grand Commander of the Netherworld, my heart might fail early.”
