Chapter 911 Scout Report
In the palace of the Fire Cloud Kingdom, the portal slowly opened, and the guards of the palace surrounded him, looking like they were facing a great enemy.
Rega walked out of the portal first, followed by Goria, the queen of the Fire Cloud Kingdom. The crown she wore on her head was shining, which she did not wear when she was in Boddisa, but since she returned to her country, what she should show was still to show.
When the guards saw Rega and Queen Goria, they put down their weapons, and their expressions became extremely humble. They shouted in unison: "Welcome to Lord Dragon Slayer, welcome Her Majesty the Queen."
Rega waved his hand and said, "Get back and let the scouts responsible for the investigation on the front line come to report."
"Yes" the guards retreated, and then a scout dressed in a scout appeared in a hurry on the hall.
Rega arranged for Golia to be above the throne, and he stood next to Golia. Although his status and power were much higher than Golia, this was in the Kingdom of Fire Cloud. If he directly reached the throne of the Kingdom of Fire Cloud, it would inevitably cause some slander.
Goria was also a little uneasy about this arrangement, but Rega insisted on doing so, so she showed the queen's majesty and sat on the throne safely.
The spiritual power of a powerful queen will inspire the morale of the entire country, which is also the significance of her return to the Kingdom of Fire Clouds.
In the hall, the scout knelt on the ground and shouted long live the excitement of the mountain. Before, when he saw King Makailo's fierce command of the army, he thought there was no hope for the Fire Cloud Kingdom, but when he saw Rega and Queen Goria personally came to the Fire Cloud Kingdom, he rekindled his fighting spirit and hope.
Lei Jia asked the scout straight to the point, "Tell me what have you found?"
The scout hurriedly said, "Return to the Dragon Slayer, according to my investigation, I found that Makailo's army had only 8,000 people at most, not at all the 20,000 people he had previously advocated. Moreover, the quality of them was mixed, and most of them were mercenaries who did not obey discipline. Their marching speed was very slow, and until now, they had just approached the border of Fire Cloud."
Goria couldn't help but glance at Rega, and sighed inwardly that Rega calculated everything. Although the war had not started yet, it could be said that the victory was decided.
Rega continued to ask: "What is the military force in the territory of Fire Cloud?"
The scout introduced: "Since the last war, the Fire Cloud Kingdom has been following the orders of Queen Goria and vigorously developing military affairs, but our foundation is too weak. When there was the Red Flame Dragon Guild in the past, the country had no room for national guild development. Now the Red Flame Dragon is gone, and the National guild has just begun to be established. According to the national guild standards of other countries, we only have more than a thousand people."
"Only a thousand people?" Galia was stunned for a moment.
The scout hurriedly said: "Hero-level fighters are talents won over by major teams. Many of them have become members of the noble private armed team. The noble private armed team is well treated, so many fighters who meet the standards are unwilling to join the national guild."
Golia nodded helplessly, "It seems that we still have to rely on those private nobles."
Rega smiled faintly, "One thousand people are enough to deal with Makailo. Besides, as the queen of the Fire Cloud Kingdom, you always use the private armed forces of the local lords, which is not nice to say. As long as your national guild can defeat Makailo's elite power, which is known as 20,000, it will naturally have a great reputation. At that time, there will be many heroic fighters willing to take the initiative to surrender."
Goria said worriedly: "Can a thousand people compete with Makelo? You know, no matter how stupid he is, he has eight times the strength of ours, and there are ten magicians."
Rega smiled and said, "The Fire Cloud Kingdom has unique geographical advantages. As long as it is used well, a thousand people can be used as ten thousand people."
Goria nodded, "What should we do?"
Rega immediately ordered: "First, give warnings to the residents of the Huoyun border, telling them that the border is unsafe, and call on the local nobles to protect the residents of their territory so that they will not be burned, killed and looted by the mercenaries. Secondly, all the soldiers of the Huoyun Guild retreated to the mouth of the Nushui River, destroyed all the bridges across the Nushui River, and burned all the ferries, leaving no one left."
The scout widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide, not knowing whether he should follow this order. The one in front prevented the mercenaries from burning, killing and looting were easy to understand, but the one behind destroyed the bridge and ferry was difficult to understand.
Goria immediately frowned and shouted majestic to the scout: "Didn't you hear the Dragon Slayer?"
The scout then woke up and said quickly: "I heard, I heard."
Rega knew that they were very confused, so he explained: "The River of Nushui crosses the entire Kingdom of Fire Cloud, which is the foundation of the prosperity of the Kingdom of Fire Cloud. I know that giving such an order will annoy some local lords very much. However, the reason why the military order is a military order is that the starting point is based on the overall situation. Makailo's army came with great fanfare and would definitely not be satisfied with looting a few small villages. His ultimate goal must be to come to the City of Fire Cloud, and crossing the City of Fire Cloud is his only choice."
In the previous battle between Rega and the Red Flame Dragon Guild, the natural barrier of Nushui River did not play any role. That was because Rega entered the Fire Cloud Kingdom from the border of Fengxue Kingdom. The unfreezing port of Fengxue Kingdom is the estuary of the Nushui River in the Fire Cloud Kingdom. Therefore, Rega completely bypassed the Nushui River, and Makailo's army set out from the Moriyan Kingdom. Unless it captures the Fengxue Kingdom first, it will not be able to bypass the Nushui River at all.
"Although destroying the bridge and ferry will cause a lot of economic losses, if the bridge and ferry are not destroyed, the economic losses caused may be even greater." Rega added.
Goria immediately said to the scout: "Go and tell the residents and local lords around the Nushui River, and ask them to help destroy the bridge and ferry together. This queen will double the economic losses."
The scout said happily: "With Her Majesty the Queen's words, things will be much easier. I am announcing an order."
After saying that, the scout bowed deeply and withdrew from the main hall of the Fire Cloud Kingdom.
After the scout left, Rega and Golia began to study the map of the Fire Cloud Kingdom, waiting for news from Makailo safely. Simply preventing Makailo from crossing the river cannot destroy Makailo's biological power. Rega plans to use Golia's portal advantage to lead an elite team to carry out a raid, but he is not satisfied with this plan, because the raid can only kill hundreds of people at most, but it still cannot completely eliminate Makailo's power to prevent Makailo's harassment.
After thinking about it, I didn't think of a perfect solution. Lei Jiayuqin didn't think about it anymore and ate and drank with Golia, waiting for the situation to become clearer.
The biggest advantage of fighting stupid enemies is that there is basically no need to do anything, and the enemy will dig a hole for themselves.
That night, when Rega hugged Golia and fell asleep sweetly, the scout in charge of sending the order arrived at the mouth of the Nushui River and conveyed the orders of Rega and Golia without saying a word.
At first, the local lords and residents were a little unhappy, but after hearing that Queen Goria was willing to pay double the compensation for the loss, everyone became happy and started to work overnight, cutting off the ropes and sinking the ferry. For a moment, there was a fire at the mouth of the wide Nushui River, and the water surface was filled with broken wooden boards floating with the waves.
This scene happened to be seen by the scout Sen Yan who came to investigate. Sen Yan hurriedly turned back and reported the act of destroying the bridge and burning the boat in the Kingdom of Fire Cloud to Makailo who was about to sleep.
Ma Kailo has been quite busy these days. Facts have proved that the mercenaries are a double-edged sword. Although they have helped him fill the number of soldiers, it is extremely difficult to discipline them. The original two-day journey was dragged into three days, greatly losing the opportunity to fight. Moreover, these mercenaries began to burn, kill and loot almost as soon as they left Moniyan City, regardless of whether they were still in Moniyan territory.
The behavior of the mercenaries made the soldiers with the Angry Lion Heart complain. After all, no matter what, these soldiers were also Senyan people. Seeing their compatriots being burned, killed, looted by their king's team, they naturally found it difficult to accept them. They took up weapons and attacked the burned, killed, looted mercenaries.
Makailo finally calmed down several riots and comforted both sides, but the originally eight thousand team had lost 1,000 people after several desperate fights. Of course, most of them were mercenaries. Makailo didn't really feel sorry for him, but he lost his troops before he met the enemy, which really made him very angry.
He finally planned to have a stable sleep, but the scout who was investigating in the front urgently asked for a meeting. The battle was imminent, and even if Ma Kailo was unhappy, he had to receive the scout.
After the scout entered the main military tent, he immediately fell to the ground, shouting long live the mountain, Ma Kailo waved his hand and said unhappily: "If you have any news, hurry up and tell me, I will go to bed later."
The scout hurriedly said, "The big thing is wrong. His Majesty the King's bridge and ferry that leads to the mouth of Nushui River Jinkou were all destroyed by the people of the Fire Cloud Kingdom."
When Ma Kailo heard this, his eyes widened, "What? You say it again?"
The scout repeated: "I said - something is wrong. His Majesty the King, the bridge and ferry leading to the mouth of Nushui River Jinkou, were all destroyed by the people of the Fire Cloud Kingdom."
Makailo immediately grabbed the scout's collar and shouted angrily: "When did this happen?
The scout said tremblingly: "It's just what happened. When I saw them destroying bridges and burning boats, I hurriedly came back and reported it with a quick whip."
Makailo asked, "How far has it been done? If we rush over now, will it be too late?"
The scout said with difficulty: "I'm afraid - it's too late. They move very quickly, and we are still a long way from Jinkou."
Ma Kailo breathed a sigh of relief, loosened the scout's collar, collapsed on the chair in depressed manner, and his mind was filled with what Lan Zhao had said to him.
