Chapter 813 - Surrender, or Die!

“Shua!”

After I logged on, my character appeared in the middle of a field. When I woke up, I startled two sleeping bees. They buzzed near my ear and then flew off into the distance. Looking out, I saw Han Yuan and Xiao Lie leading an uncountable number of Royal Army soldiers concealed behind the tall crops. Under these extraordinary conditions, we had no choice but to step into the fields. If we could root out the Dragonling Army, then sacrificing this entire field of military crops would be well worth it. Not to mention that all 50,000 of the Royal Army soldiers were gathered in one place. We wouldn’t be trampling too much of the field.

Han Yuan led his horse over to me with his blade in hand. The horse’s muzzle had been tied shut so that it wouldn’t make a sound. Despite the muzzle, the horse instinctively reached for the crops, trying to bite at them. Seeing this, I couldn’t help but feel pity for it. Han Yuan wryly smiled, “General, we’ve been lying in wait for almost an entire day and we haven’t seen even a single hair of those Dragonling soldiers. Do you suppose those morons are actually not coming?”

I furrowed my brows, “They should be. We haven’t let any news out. Besides, now that the Royal Army has declared war on them, if I were the Dragonling Army commander, I would conduct one last raid before disappearing into the wind.”

Xiao Lie nodded, “My lord is correct, let’s just patiently wait for news!”

About ten minutes later, one of the disguised cavalrymen ran over to us and quietly reported, “Lord Commander, some Dragonling warships have appeared on the War God’s River!”

“How many?” Han Yuan asked.

“Twenty-one!”

“Only twenty-one?” Han Yuan was puzzled.

I replied, “Wait a little longer!”

After a while, another scout reported back, “General, fifty-four total Dragonling warships have appeared on the river!”

I asked, “How far up is the water displaced by the boat?”

“Fairly far, the ships seem to be carrying a lot of weight!”

“Good…”

After seven to eight minutes, a third scout excitedly reported back, “General, eighty-one ships have appeared on the river!”

Hearing this, Ha Yuan’s spirits were considerably higher, “Great. Looks like the entire hive has come out. General, this was a good gamble!”

Long Xing was sharpening his blade on the side and smiled, “When should we set out? My sword is feeling thirsty…”

I replied, “Wait a little longer. We’ll set out after all of them have landed!”

“Yes sir!”

A group of lieutenants was hidden in the crops, waiting for orders from us. Not long after, another scout came back with a report, “General, five of the warships have landed on the beach. Around two thousand cavalrymen have disembarked and are heading straight for Greene Town!”

I nodded, “Continue observing!”

Han Yuan quietly asked, “These two thousand cavalrymen must be there to ambush the town. The other eight thousand foot soldiers are for escorting the loot back, right?”

I smiled, “Yup. Let’s wait for the eight thousand to land. That’s when we’ll begin our move.”

Long Xing said, “General, we await your orders!”

I slid down my horse and smiled with my hand on my hilt, “I will give orders in a moment. Han Yuan, you will lead the Royal Army cavalrymen to cut off the Dragonling Army from retreating. Xia Ye will then lead ten thousand men out to take their ships. Best case scenario, we’ll be able to take all eighty-one of them. If they resist too much, then we’ll burn the remaining ships. Xiao Lie and Long Xing will then lead thirty thousand men to surround the town. We cannot let a single rat out!”

All of the generals nodded, “Understood!”

Not long after, another scout reported back, “All eighty-one ships have landed, however, each ship has a unit of people have been left behind to guard them. They have a total of thirty Dragon Crystal Cannons and they’re all ready to fire!”

I pondered for a moment. After five minutes, I shouted orders, “Royal Army, advance!”

“Yes sir!”

Han Yuan and I led a group of cavalrymen and charged out of the fields. The horses trampled over the crops. Once we rushed out, we could see the numerous Dragonling warships along the shores. Most of their men had disembarked and were moving towards Greene Town. The Royal Army cavalry dashed out and cut into the space between them and their ships like lightning.

“D*mm*t!”

One of the pirates paled, “We’ve been tricked! Those d*mn*d Royal Army soldiers are ambushing us! This time we’re done for. Messengers, let Lord Dragonscale know!”
