Chapter 944 - Fang Ge Que’s Plan (2/2)
The South Protecting King was stunned but he also cupped his fists and said, ”I am willing!”
Lochlan was delighted, ”That's great. With Master Li and Father personally leading the troops, I am at ease. Vanguard Luo Ding is preparing his troops and will arrive soon. Do you all have any plans?”
Fang Ge Que said, ”Why not we attack them using fire?”
Lochlan was stunned, ”General Fang, how do we use fire to attack them?”
Fang Ge Que took in a deep breath and said, ”I have calculated it. The tide will arrive in 50 minutes. We can swiftly dig a 2-meter-deep and fifty-meter-wide moat and then amass dirt in the shallow waters to prevent them from docking. Then let seawater enter the moat and then we can place in enough oil. With what Queen Angela did at Deer Lake, as long as they dare to attack the oil, it would burn many of them. It’ll be enough for us to handle them easily.”
I was shocked as I smiled, ”Fang Ge Que's idea is great, amazing even. Luo Ding definitely wouldn't expect us to do that when we are at a disadvantage!”
Fang Ge Que nodded his head, ”Yeah, even if he is smart, he should be a little overconfident at such a moment.”
I turned around and looked toward the logistics officer, ”Did we bring enough oil?”
He nodded, ”We originally thought that the Hybrid Demon Army would break through the Deer Lake defense line. We will burn them once more so we prepared a lot of oil. It seems like there would be no need to use it at Deer Lake. We have over 90 thousand barrels, enough to burn the ten miles an hour!”
I smiled, ”Then adjourn the meeting and prepare for battle!”
Lochlan held his sword and said, ”Master Li, I want to head out to watch. In this life and death battle, I am unwilling to stay in this cell. Let me out to see how valiant the generals and soldiers are!”
I had no choice and could only nod my head, ”Okay, Guard Army General Situ Xin, His Majesty's safety is on you. Don't let him lead personally, it is too dangerous.”
Situ Xin smiled, ”Commander in Chief don't worry, I won't fail this mission.”
……
The generals headed out of the tent. Han Yuan, Xiao Lie, and the Royal Army Majors had already given the order and instantly a huge number of troops surged to the shore and started to dig. They were really efficient and within minutes, a deep moat appeared at the side of the Sea of No Return. It was two meters deep and after seawater entered it looked like shallow water. Most Hybrid Demons didn't know how to swim, so the moment they entered they wouldn't be able to get out.
The Royal Army and Rongdi Army were the strongest armies of the empire. They each took care of half of the defense. The Royal Army Heavy Cannon Unit was behind. As long as the legendary Dragon Armor Army dared to come, they would definitely take a huge loss.
Han Yuan held his blade and walked beside me, he said softly, ”General, are we really going to fight alongside the Rongdi Army with these bunch of barbarians?”
”That's right. Do we have any other choice?” I asked.
”There doesn't seem to be any.” Han Yuan looked at me and said, ”I don't believe that General would be so pure to have no orders for us?”
”Yes, I do!” I smiled and looked at him, lowering my voice as I said, ”Let Long Xing and Xia Ye send 200 Royal Army ships. The cannons and ammo must be well prepared. Stay at the Bridge of Fate and await my signal.”
”Yes, General!” Although Han Yuan didn't know what I was thinking, he didn't ask and just headed out to execute my orders.
……
Until night fell, the Tian Ling City NPC army all used oil to water the deep holes. A thick nose-piercing smell floated around the shoreline. We waited quietly. The [Zhan Long] Fire Dragon Cavalry and Steel Blade Cavalry lined up alongside the Royal Army. Archers, mages, musketeers, and healers all stood behind. The players waited for the last wave of monsters to attack, so maybe it wasn't the last wave yet? If it wasn't, then we could only accept fate. However, I felt that this should be the last one… The system probably didn't want Tian Ling City to fall to the Northern Hybrid Demons, right?
”Dong dong dong...”
The heavy war drums were like thunder as they spread over from the ocean.
”They are here.”
Li Mu held his Neptune’s Blade and smiled, ”We will be able to witness the legendary Dragon Armor Army. What type of great equipment will they drop?”
”Dragon Armor Set?” I smiled as I asked.
Li Mu laughed, ”Let's hope so. That’s why we must put in more effort.”
Starlight scattered on the ground like a layer of frost had been added onto it. The ocean surface reflected the light. The tide came and pushed toward the low dam that we made.
