Chapter 551 Pre-war reconnaissance

"Your Majesty, we are ready. As long as the stuttering boy dares to escape today, the joint army of all our countries will immediately crush them to pieces..com!"

In the palace of Lossa, Emperor Lossa supported his forehead with one hand while listening casually as his military minister reported to him.

After hearing the words of the Minister of Military Affairs, Emperor Losa sneered, "This ridiculous kid, you dare to stand up today. No wonder we are. This time I just wanted to remind him of the current situation and get some benefits. But since he is seeking death by himself, let him go and die!"

The Military Minister smiled flatteringly, "How could that young boy Katton have such foresight as you, and a duke is also a young boy. This time, they must have died even if they don't know how they died."

Emperor Losa said disdainfully: "The overlord position of the Katon Empire in the mainland begins with this Katon boy's generation, and it will end! How about it? How are our fortifications doing? Although this time, we are letting the Katon army die, we must be in case. If the Divine Court army breaks through here, then we may have a lot of trouble."

The Minister of Military Affairs nodded quickly and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, until now, our army has begun to establish fortifications fifty miles after the defense line formed by the seven cities. Everything is going very smoothly. It is expected that all of them will be prepared tomorrow night."

Emperor Luosa nodded with satisfaction, "Well... OK! If that kid doesn't escape now, we will see how he uses the 20,000 troops to defend these seven cities in three days!"

Five miles away from the Lossa imperial capital, in the military camp of the Katon Empire, the second prince drove all the military and political staff out in the central army tent, leaving only Robben alone, two of them sitting in front of a wooden table, carrying a not-so-bright light on the table, and the second prince's expressionless face looked very stiff.

"Robben, tell me! What's the hell do you have??"

He looked up at the sky outside the tent, which was about to be dark outside the big tent, and the second prince seemed a little heavy. "You have a short time to convince me that when the night gets darker, I will lead all my troops to retreat urgently. Although retreating like this will have a great possibility of being attacked by those who are in the Lothars, it is better than going to the front line to die in vain."

Robben also looked at the sky outside, turned around and chuckled, "Okay, I'll say it quickly, and then we can set off early!"

The second prince frowned slightly, "Set out? Robben, you'd better not tell me that you want to escape immediately, if you say that, I might tie you to the pillar and leave you alone."

Robben smiled and said, "No, what I meant is that we do not include these 120,000 troops!"

"What did you say!?" The second prince's brows moved slightly, his face full of surprise.

"My Majesty, when I was in the carriage I came back, I was thinking about the current situation. I think our situation is pretty good now!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Tell me the solution quickly! I need to know the solution! How do you want my 20,000 imperial guards to guard the seven cities!?"

Robben smiled strangely, "Your Majesty, I have never said that we must guard those cities!"

"Don't guard! If we don't guard, are we going to wait outside the city to be shot into a hedgehog by their arrows??" The second prince couldn't help but roar.

"We attack!"

He punched the table, and the second prince stood up directly, pointed at the tip of Robben's nose and said furiously: "Roben! You idiot! If it weren't... If it weren't for you Robben! I would have scattered you on the way back! You are still talking to me these bastards now! What did you ask me to do with 20,000 people? Attack! Do you want the imperial guards who don't have any siege equipment to attack the city......"

All the accompanying military staff officers stood not far from the big tent. When they were paying the tent, the second prince could occasionally hear the angry roar of the second prince, "Idiot!" and "Idiot" and other words popping out of the big tent from time to time.

"What is your Majesty discussing with this Duke Robben? Your Majesty asked us to wear some clothes. Are we going to return home immediately?" All the staff officers looked puzzled.

"Forget it, don't stand here. Since Your Majesty said this, there is naturally His Majesty's reason. Let's go back and tell the soldiers to pack up. Alas... I always feel that something bad is going to happen."

He kept listening to the Second Prince yelling all the vulgar words and finally began to calm down slowly. Robben quickly raised his sleeves and wiped the saliva from his face.

"I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you in a hurry?"

Seeing Roben's strange look on his face, the second prince felt crazy, "Okay! Then you say!"

Robben wiped the spit on his face and explained: "I have also seen the rough situation of this front. There were seven cities we controlled before. Our 400,000 soldiers basically used these seven cities as their bases and had been dealing with the army of the Divine Court here. However, they had never obtained much advantage, because the enemy's troops were always more than twice ours. On the opposite side of this line of defense, the Divine Court controlled eleven cities, and they were all very strong."

"You also know that our troops do not have an advantage... and then we have to exchange for 20,000 for 400,000!"

Robben ignored the second prince and continued, "This time since we have promised in front of all the nations, that's all. However, we only have 20,000 people. If we take them to defend the city, even if we are not satisfied with the people standing by all the walls, we cannot defend it at all. Therefore, if we want to gain a foothold, we can only attack."

"What kind of attack? How to attack!? We only have 20,000 infantry, and even the 100,000 royal city troops are included, there are only 120,000. There are no siege equipment or even no ladders. Do we use manpower to directly push down the city wall?"

Robben stood up and said, "I will solve this problem. You can wait a moment and I will come back soon."

The second prince stared at him and watched Robben walk out of the tent. He came back soon. At the same time, he brought back the fifteen female magicians.

"What did you bring them to do?"

Robben smiled, "My Majesty, if we want to succeed this time, all hope will be on these friends of mine."

The second prince looked at the dozen people standing in the big tent, "They?"

"Um!"

The second prince shook his head and said irritably: "Robben, don't do this anymore, you'll do it again and again..."

"My Majesty, I am not a fool. I am willing to accompany you to such a dangerous place. Naturally, I have only twelve confidence to come. And today I say that, naturally, is based on my opinion. My friends are far from those poor mages. I can say in charge that any of them can hardly find an opponent in our empire."

"What? You said..."

Looking at the sky that was completely dark outside, Robben said directly: "We will set out now and we should be able to come back in the second half of the night. Moreover, the deployment of the eleven cities of the Divine Court and the city's structural diagram will also be brought back together."

The second prince was surprised, "Robben! Are you telling the truth!?"

Robben shrugged helplessly, "I know it's hard for you to believe now, but you can postpone the time of the run. Let's set off immediately. Before midnight today, someone will inevitably come back. Then you will decide whether to leave here."

The second prince hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay! Robben, I'll wait for you until midnight here, if no one of you came back at that time..."

Robben smiled, "You can escape!"

After looking at Robben, the second prince said somewhat heavy: "If it is not successful, I hope you will come back immediately and we will leave here immediately. Although there may be damage, it is much better than giving up your life in vain! I don't want you to die, Robben!"

"I understand! Now, I need someone to teach us how to draw a city structure diagram, and what should I focus on marking it! Don't look at us like this, I promise to learn it once!"

After a military officer was hurriedly called up and taught Robben the sixteen people in the simplest language to mark the key points of the city's military structure, Robben, with Nalan and other fifteen witches, disappeared directly into the night.

The second prince saw that Robben and his people had disappeared, sighed slightly, turned around and walked into his big tent. If these dozen friends of Robben really had such powerful abilities, this time things might turn around. After all, a magician who is powerful enough can not measure the value of ordinary soldiers at all.

After leaving the military camp, Robben pulled Nalan and fifteen other witches to his side and instructed: "The map has been sent to you. The little red dot on it is the city where the Divine Court Army is stationed. This time we are going to check the structure of the city and the distribution of troops..."

Robben said in a very serious tone: "But... we are not going to destroy. You must not pile up any soldiers from the Divine Court to do it, do you understand?"

As the representative, Nalan nodded immediately, "We understand, this is... the first task is right? We will definitely complete it very well."

After saying that, Nalan turned his head and said in an extremely stern tone: "Have you heard Robben clearly?"

"Yes! I heard it clearly!" The fourteen witches answered in unison.

Robben sweated secretly, "This... you don't need to do this, as long as you don't hurt the innocent, this is not too contrary to the principle that you cannot directly participate in the war."

Nalan said softly: "Robbon, the expiration of the Millennium Treaty is not far away. Now we and the gods have begun to take action, and our agreement is just a default. As long as it does not cause too much impact, there is no problem. Like what we are doing now, it doesn't matter at all. As long as you allow it, we can directly blow up the doors of all cities."

"No, no... This time, we can just investigate, just investigate!"

Comforting these somewhat excited witches, Robben directly grouped, one by himself, one by Nalan, and two by the other fourteen witches. They went to this city in order to investigate, and returned after the last city was investigated.

Nine groups of people quickly dispersed and disappeared into the dark night.

The city Robben investigated was the first city from the left, which is the city No. 1 marked on the map, Tulu City.

Tulu is not very big. It is basically a city that exists as a military stronghold. There are not many residents inside, and the vast majority are all soldiers.

Although it is such a small city, there are still several magicians stationed. During the battle, if there is a magician on one side but no other side, it will suffer in many ways. After the war with the Divine Court, although a group of magicians stayed to continue to serve the original country, most magicians still chose to leave and return to the Divine Court. In comparison, many magicians in the Alliance have separated from the country and joined the Divine Court, while the countries supporting the Divine Court did not suffer any magicians, which caused the Alliance Army to suffer a considerable loss in the number of magicians.

As soon as he approached the city, Robben felt two spiritual fluctuations in the cover of the city wall. It seemed that he was a magician at night. Robben's own spiritual and magic fluctuations were extremely weak, almost equal to none. He didn't care about the scanning of these two spiritual waves. Robben was invisible and fell on the city wall. He swaggered into the city casually.

The city is relatively small. Robben, according to what the officer taught him, remember the direction, size, exits there, material warehouse, residential area, etc.... After a short time of wandering around, Robben hid on the pile of firewood in the material warehouse, drew a city structure diagram in a twisted manner, looked up and down, and scored 100 points with great satisfaction. Then he immediately left the material warehouse and quietly left the city.

Following the front line on the map, Robben flew eastward. He and his people were divided into nine groups. Robben ignored the first nine cities and flew directly to the last two cities. When he arrived at the tenth city, he found Nalan's breath in the city. However, it turned out that Nalan had completed the survey earlier than Robben and had arrived here one step earlier than anyone else. When Robben went to the next city, he found the traces of eight witches here...

In the end, Robben and Nalan met in the eleventh city and hid at the base of the city wall, in the blind spots of light that could not be illuminated by huge torches on the city wall.

"How is it? Have you got the urban structure diagram?"

All the witches nodded immediately, took out the pictures they drew and handed them to Robben's hands.

After flipping one by one, Robben saw that the markings on these drawings were very clear and clear, with neat strokes and beautiful handwriting. Only the last one looked extremely "ugly".

After coughing, Robben quickly covered other drawings of his clumsy role, "Okay, let's go back!"

Since Robben and his group left, the second prince has not left the central army tent and has been sitting in front of the table. The lights on the table have burned out, but he was shocked and sat there with his hands crossed and his chin was not moving. He knew that Robben had returned strangely with Nalan and others.

"Well? Why don't you light the light? Are you practicing night eyes? But to be honest, this will only make your eyes unable to see clearly."

As soon as he raised his hand, a flame jumped up on Robben's fingers. Seeing that the candle on the table had been burned, Robben took out the new one from his ring and lit it, and there was a little light in the big tent.

"You guys... are back so soon!?"

Robben saw a small hourglass on the table, and the fine sand inside was slowly sliding down. Now, half of the hourglass has leaked.

"It's not a difficult task, give it, this is the structure and defense map of the eleven cities of the Divine Court." As he said that, Robben put a thick stack of drawings in front of the Second Prince.

"This...is it true!?"

The second prince looked at the thing in his hand in disbelief, holding a candle in one hand and flipping through all the drawings quickly with his hands. Even though he was happy and surprised in his voice.

I think the Lothar Empire and other countries have been here for a while. We should also know more about the situation of the Divine Court. After tomorrow we can try to ask them for some information. If they give us, you can verify it."

"No... no need to verify, this will not be fake, no, this is definitely very reasonable, and even a somewhat exquisite urban defense pattern, absolutely yes, and it also conforms to the characteristics of most soldiers in the Divine Court being surprise soldiers, so there is no need to check, my damn gods are on! Robben! You really got the defense pattern of this city!"

Seeing the second prince's expression of ecstasy, Robben couldn't help but smile, "It's nothing, it's a little bit!"

After a brief excitement, the second prince quickly calmed down, and asked Robben with a glimmer of hope in his eyes and said, "Roben, after tonight, we will only have two days. Tell me now, what are you going to do? No matter how ridiculous this time, I will not be so surprised again!"

"It's very simple! We can't defend it! We will attack directly!"

The Lotha Empire responded twelve generously to the food and grass needed by the Katon Empire and the information about the Divine Court Army. Not only did it provide enough food and grass, but it also renewed a batch of weapons, and a large amount of information from the Divine Court Army was sent to the Katon Army camp.

The second prince looked at the batches of supplies sent over and couldn't help but smile at Robben: "It seems that this time the Lossa Empire has determined that we will die. He gave us things so kindly, for fear that we will regret it."
