In the early morning, when the sky gradually became brighter, the sound of fighting in Yancheng had disappeared.
Instead, the city was filled with fireworks and blood.
Deliberate and unintentional, the magicians in Yancheng had no chance to release powerful magic, and were killed by the assassins from the ghost cave.
Not long after the capture of Lucheng, the Guidong army captured Lucheng again with thunderous momentum.
At this point, the land adjacent to the border of the Potuo Empire was occupied by the Guidong Dynasty.
However, the Ghost Cave army did not stop and continued to advance towards the hinterland of the Tuo Empire.
Subsequently, the troops transferred from the Guidong Dynasty took over Lucheng and Yancheng. According to Lin Shan's instructions, they destroyed the statues of the original gods, directly cutting off the source of the magician's power from the source.
Destroy the original god, and the god will punish the believers, and this will cause a chain reaction that will slowly erode the resistance of the Tuo Empire.
This move can be described as extremely destructive, but for the Guidong Dynasty, it was the most effective way to attack the Tuo Empire.
At the same time, on the side of the Great Wilderness Dynasty, the newly appointed emperor Su Ke also launched an invasion of the northern frontier of the Tuo Empire as promised.
The situation of the Chutuo Empire suddenly became dangerous.
Originally, its strength was constantly improving. In time, it would be able to surpass the Ghost Cave and the Great Wilderness and become the overlord of this small world.
However, time waits for no one, and Tuo Tuo never expected that Guidong and Dahuang, who were originally at war, would suddenly form an alliance and launch an offensive against him.
Faced with the danger of being attacked from two sides, the Tuo Empire sent ministers to negotiate with the two countries on one side, while actively preparing for war on the other.
In this situation, no one can be restrained.
Even if you really want to talk, you have to find out first.
It is said that fair diplomacy is achieved through fighting.
If you just admit defeat before fighting, there will definitely be no good results.
A few days later, the Ghost Dong army once again captured two large cities, and Linshan's headquarters also moved to the newly occupied E city! On the other side of Dahuang, although they suffered a lot of casualties, they also captured two large cities, and the situation was chaotic.
excellent.
..."Master Priest, the envoy from the Tuo Empire is here!"
In the frontline headquarters, a servant came to report.
"Samsara, go and see it for me. The Bo Tuo Empire is here just to delay time. You just have to deal with it."
Lin Shan continued to look at the sand table and said without raising his head.
"Yes, Lord Priest."
Reincarnation takes orders and goes away.
Mingyue Chenguang and Yan Zhenren also came here this time, and they were all waiting by their side.
"Master Priest, our troops have reached this point, and the resistance has begun to increase, and the speed has also slowed down.
The resistance of the Chutuo Empire is very tenacious, and if we continue to fight like this, we may suffer heavy losses!"
Master Yan knew the recent battle situation very well and reminded Lin Shan.
Lin Shan nodded and said: "Yes, since the capture of E City, the resistance of the Tuo Empire has become tenacious. Of course, this is understandable. After all, they are getting closer to their capital, and they naturally don't want to see it.
Arrive at the foot of the city.
Moreover, the Chutuo Empire is prepared, and our casualties will be considerable. If we continue to fight at the same pace as before, it will be tantamount to seeking death."
"What the priest said is absolutely true.
According to the latest intelligence, the Tuo Empire sent people to negotiate with us and Dahuang, while secretly stepping up preparations for war. Their purpose is very clear, which is to delay time.
The longer it takes, the more prepared they are and the greater the threat to us."
Thinking of the power of magic they had witnessed in the past few days, Master Yan couldn't help but worry.
Lin Shan frowned, pondered for a moment, looked at the two successors to the queen who were listening silently, and asked: "Mingyue, Chenguang, you guys should also share your opinions."
"Then let me talk first."
Mingyue looked at Chen Guang, then pointed to a location on the sand table and said: "Master Priest, I think we should stop the current offensive now, and instead secretly send a team to go here."
"here?"
Lin Shan looked at the location and was a little confused about its meaning.
Mingyue continued to explain: "Now that the Chutuo Empire has made preparations, the cost of our attack will be too high.
So it is better to take a moment to slow down, but secretly pull the team to this position, join up with Dahuang's team, and jointly launch an offensive against Yongcheng.
Yongcheng is the second largest city in the Potuo Empire after the capital. It has a dangerous geographical location and controls many transportation arteries. As long as we capture Yongcheng, we will be completely connected to the wilderness, and it will be even more difficult for the Potuo Empire.
.”
"And the most important thing is that the Chutuo Empire could not have imagined that we would suddenly attack Yongcheng.
Even if they are prepared, they must be more relaxed than on the front line.
We took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and captured Yongcheng, thus completely taking the initiative. Whether the enemy will attack or surrender will depend entirely on our expressions."
Lin Shan listened to Mingyue's analysis, nodded, then looked at Chen Guang and asked, "What do you think?"
It seemed that Chen Guang had already noticed the ravine, so he walked up to it and pointed at another city on the sand table, Luan City: "I suggest attacking here."
"Tell me what you think."
Linshan Road.
"Although Luan City is not as important as Yong City, it is relatively easier to capture.
And Luangcheng is in a fortress position on our way forward, like a nail hammered here, it will definitely become a constraint for us in the future.
Therefore, my disciples thought that they should take advantage of their unpreparedness and attack Luan City first."
"As long as Luan City is captured, it is equivalent to strangling the throat of the Tuo Empire, and the army will be approaching the capital just around the corner.
And we have arrangements in Luan City, so it will be much easier to win."
"oh?
What’s the arrangement?”
Lin Shan was stunned and asked.
Chen Guang smiled and said: "There is a caravan of our tribe in the city. They lived there many years ago. They are half Tuo people.
Therefore, they were not expelled during this war."
"I didn't expect your tribe to have such foresight.
Not bad, not bad.”
Lin Shan praised them, but he didn't express any opinion on the two people's suggestions.
At this moment, Samsara walked back quickly and reported back to Lin Shan: "Master Priest, it seems that the Potuo Empire has spent a lot of money this time.
This is their gift to you."
"Are you stupid to come here to give gifts at this time?"
Lin Shan smiled, but still took the gift sheet and looked at it: "Huh?
Why did you send a princess here? Has your identity been verified?"
Samsara nodded and said: "This Princess Feia is a very famous princess in the Tuo Empire. She has been very smart since she was a child and learned magic quickly. In just a few years, she has reached the level of an intermediate magician.
.
Because she is sensitive and eager to learn, she is deeply favored by King Tuo."
"Is this King Po Tuo trying to bribe me with his beauty?"
