The loss of the Antler Gate did not disrupt Ilea's marching plan. The girl still led the army to the Elk Valley step by step.
But because she walked too slowly, Allister and others mistakenly thought that she was timid and wanted to stay in the Golden Valley to fight the three of them, or simply return to the West.
There is no way, the information in this era is so unavailable, there are no satellites, and there are no reconnaissance planes, so it is impossible to know the situation on the other side if you are far away.
Fortunately, there were people from the Wing Tribe on the Three Kings side, and they served as scouts. Only then did they find the location of Ilea and her Western Army, and confirmed that they were still heading towards the Elk Valley.
Just walking a little slow.
Allister felt that this just confirmed Ilea's hesitation. She was not sure of defeating the three people who joined forces, but she probably felt that losing Elk Valley was a bit embarrassing, mainly because she couldn't explain to the people who followed her if she didn't fight back.
.
That's why they were walking around like this, probably hoping that the three of them would retreat halfway.
But among the three, except for Conley, whose financial situation is relatively bad, the other two are relatively well-off. They also collected a large amount of food on the spot in Elk Valley, which should be enough to feed the army for two or three months.
The focus of the dispute between the three people now is whether they should take the initiative to attack Ilea if she is reluctant to enter the Elk Valley.
Among them, Allister was inclined to fight all the way to the West, and Conley was also somewhat interested, mainly because he thought he could grab something on the way to make up for the war expenses.
But he was more cautious, worried that he would not be able to defeat Ilea and her Western Army if he left the Antler Gate.
As for Claudio, he insisted on facing the enemy at the Antler Gate.
Of course, he also started from his own point of view. Among the three, the one supported by Zimeng had the best financial situation and could afford the most.
If he could defeat Ilea this time and bring down the other two, it would be the best situation for him.
In short, the three of them have their own little plans, and they have been arguing in the castle a lot these days.
Allister even announced that he would lead an army to attack Ilea alone.
But he just said this. Allister is not stupid enough to think that he can defeat Ilea with his own strength. Moreover, all three of them are involved in this war, so he cannot be the only one in the end.
People lose the most.
In that case, even if Ilea is defeated, the gains outweigh the losses.
The days passed like this in the quarrel, but Ilea was still moving towards the Elk Valley at a leisurely pace.
Finally, she and her army arrived at the end of the trip two months later, and it took longer than previously expected.
It had been raining for several days on the main road, and the wheels of the missile launch vehicle got stuck in the mud. The oxen and horses pulling the vehicle in front were also unable to use their strength in the mud. Finally, people came up and pulled together, and finally the vehicle was pulled.
Get out of the mud pit.
But I didn't go far before I fell into a new pit again.
Miss Rabbit didn't let anyone pull her out, so she simply found a place to camp nearby and waited for the rain to stop before setting off on the road.
And with their stop-and-go attitude, one can't blame Allister for feeling that Ilea is guilty.
However, the "guilty" Miss Rabbit finally came after all the trouble, and the three of them didn't have to wait in vain.
The spirits of the three of them were also shaken. It would be great if Ilea and her main force could be defeated in the Elk Valley, without having to chase them all the way to the west and fight on the opponent's territory.
Moreover, the people from the Yi tribe who were in charge of the out-of-field reconnaissance brought them another piece of great news.
"What? Did Ilea bring that white dragon with her this time?" Allister couldn't believe his ears.
Claudio was equally shocked, "Don't she know we brought two dragons this time?"
Conley was thinking of something else, and even his voice was trembling with excitement.
"If we send giant dragons to burn their food while they are still in the Elk Valley, and then cut off their food transportation channels, wouldn't they all starve to death?"
Even if the people here are not famous generals but have fought for such a long time, their military quality is at least above the passing level. Their breathing suddenly became rapid when they heard Conley's words.
An opportunity to win without fighting was placed in front of them, and no one could help but be jealous.
And there seems to be no loopholes in this plan. The only problem is how could the majestic Imperial Valkyrie Dragon Slayer Knight make such a fatal mistake?
Ilea herself didn't mean to be too big and didn't want to take the White Queen on an expedition.
The main reason is that the dragon can only fight against two when Li Yu is around. Otherwise, she would be able to fight against the red dragon, the strongest of the three dragons, just by relying on a permanent power aura with a 10% increase.
It’s a tie. If we add another green dragon, we’ll be done with it.
As for war, unless it is a premeditated ambush, it is difficult to proactively choose the date.
It would be better to let the white dragon stay in the Western Region, and use the terrifying strength shown in the previous battle to frighten the Wing Clan and the other two dragons, so that they would not dare to engage in any extreme one-for-one manipulation.
In addition, the appetite of dragons is also amazing, so the food consumption of the white dragon troops will also increase.
Miss Rabbit couldn't do something like Lanita and let the dragon go out to find food, because then the dragon would probably harass the civilians.
After all, it is much easier for dragons to directly eat free pigs and sheep, and even for humans than to hunt in the forest.
Of course, the most important thing is that Shuangxiujiao has promised her that he will solve the trouble caused by the other two dragons, so Ilea did not take the White Queen with her on this expedition.
In the eyes of Allister and others, this was tantamount to a death sentence for her.
On the contrary, Lanita was still a little confused at this moment, "Although Ilea didn't bring a dragon, my people saw that she brought something else."
"What?" Claudio asked.
"It's hard for me to describe it. The people I sent out to investigate said they saw some strange-looking large iron blocks."
"Could that be some new sacred weapon from the Shuangxiu Sect?" Conley's words made everyone's hearts tremble again.
Compared to Ilea, the name of Shuangxiujiao actually made them more afraid, because everyone who despised it, without exception, all paid the price.
The endless methods of the prophet Merlin made his enemies even more frightened.
Whether it was the terrifying curse that almost wiped out the Yi tribe, or the Italian cannons and muskets that appeared later, their reputation has now gradually spread across the mainland.
"We must destroy those sacred artifacts." Conley said firmly.
Claudio also agreed, "It's definitely not possible to leave those things alone. Saturday's power is too powerful."
Allister actually missed Cornelia at this time. It would be great if she were here, she should be able to do something.
To deal with divine magic, it is best to use divine magic.
But Allister quickly pushed this thought out of his mind. He wanted to prove to that woman that he could defeat a powerful enemy without her help.
Conley looked at Lanita again at this time, "You can put the food matter aside for a while, and let your dragon destroy these things during the night."
