"Devil's mark?" The six-armed snake demon crossed his chest with six arms, looked at Grace from a high position, and said in a sultry voice, "I see, you are a poor little bastard who is just a web of conspiracy spun by the devil. What are my thoughts now?"
How many are my own? How many are the devil whispering in my ear? I am lucky to meet the lord, and his power is rare to cut off that kind of mark. If not,
To cut off that mark, I pray that the devil will not die. No matter what method I use, there is no way to escape from that entanglement. He will drag me into hell and add me to his collection."
Ophelia's words may sound like a devil's whisper.
She was neither helping Gavin nor Grace with good intentions, but she simply wanted to appreciate Grace's complicated expression of being spoiled, and wanted to drag her into her ranks and have one more person by her side.
Small toys are also a good choice.
"Does he really have the devil's mark on his body?" Grace could not believe Gavin's words, but she couldn't help but not believe the words of a legendary six-armed snake demon.
It doesn't mean that the devil is more honest than Gavin, but that the enemy is powerful enough that there is no need to play those conspiracies with him.
At the same time, he made a new assessment of Gavin's strength in his mind. The spell he used just now was not a normal summoning spell, but an instant summon. Summoning such a powerful demon instantly. There is only one possibility of doing that, and that is Gavin.
Wen has mastered the real name of the wrong demon, which is thousands of times more difficult than simply summoning a legendary demon.
The most important thing to ask is, does that kind of summoning ignore most of the laws prohibiting teleportation, including the Mystery Lock, because that kind of summoning does not originate from teleportation, and the power of the devil's true name can be regarded as the owner of the devil's true name using her.
The demon's true name was reshaped in an instant.
No wonder the wrong party still chose to go to the meeting alone even though he knew whether there was a trap or not. Did he have enough cards? Listening to the wrong party's tone at the beginning, he was fully prepared and ready to use his tricks to kill the person who laid the trap.
Nest.
"Hey..." The six-armed snake demon sneered, looking like I couldn't believe it.
The more she refused to act like that, the more Grace became convinced. She nodded without hesitation and said: "Okay, just follow Lord Lord's method and ask me to save his soul. He is willing to be loyal to me. Lord Lord."
What do you really need him to do?"
"If he wants to cut off the devil's mark, he must be in a special state. That state will be activated when he kills Arms. He is going to cut off his devil's mark together, so I want to ensure that I die.
At that time, he could activate that special state and die in his legs. Once I was killed by Arms in advance and my soul was dragged into hell, there would be nothing he could do." Gavin told the truth.
As for whether Grace will play a double agent trick and sell her information to Arms again, she no longer cares. With the arrival of reinforcements, he has more trump cards. If not, he can scare Arms away.
Yes, it is a shortcut to victory.
"Okay, give him a day and he will make corresponding arrangements. Then we can launch a full-scale attack. He will cooperate with us according to the progress of our attack. Ivanso's detailed map is buried one meter east of that stone.
He will just wait for us for a day. If we don't launch an attack within a day, he will flee for his own life." Grace's mind was as meticulous as ever, and she would not place all her hopes on their legs.
As soon as she finished speaking, her projection began to flicker, and disappeared completely after a few seconds. She didn't know the duration was up, but she canceled the spell on the other side.
Gavin moved away the stone on which she cast the projection technique, and focused her mind to synchronize with the surrounding land. Her consciousness immediately began to extend outward, and penetrated deep into the earth and rocks to the east of her feet. Although it was not as clear as seeing, it was still faintly visible.
I could roughly sense the outlines of things around me, and I did sense a rectangular object about one meter away.
As soon as I thought about it, the surrounding soil seemed to come alive, and began to surge to both sides. Within a few seconds, a wooden box was sent out by the soil and rocks from the east.
The third-circle spell Stone Shaping.
Coupled with the super control over the magical elements in the extraordinary body, it can be used flexibly to the greatest extent.
After opening the wooden box, there is a scroll-shaped map inside, completely drawn by hand. The fonts marked on it are graceful and feminine. It is probably from Grace's legs. Not only does it place Ivan on the ground, but also the east of the ground.
The terrain map was drawn in detail, and even the main distribution of the troops was clearly marked.
A hint of joy appeared on Gavin's face. With that map, they could follow the map and go straight to Huanglong. The risk that time was considered to be a risk-free one.
The six-armed snake demon said faintly at the side: "It's too early to be happy. What we are wrongly paying now is a devil, a guy full of treacherous tricks. How can we be sure that Grace's betrayal is not caused by his actions?"
To confuse and intentionally send false information into our lap? Will it lead us into a bigger trap?"
"He knows." Gavin carefully put away the Ivanso map and said with a smile, "Thank you, madam, for reminding me. They will start discussing it here."
"He's not worried about me. He's afraid that when I, Dongji, recruit him, he will face a desperate situation and drag him to death." The six-armed snake demon was as arrogant as ever.
"The sword is mine, come here from Dong. I will adjust my condition and prepare for the battle." Gavin gave the two strange-shaped snake swords to the six-armed snake demon. When Dong summoned her, it would definitely be the most critical.
At that time, there may not necessarily be a chance to give her the weapon. At that time, he would most likely lead the troops to provide support and take action at the beginning.
The six-armed snake demon took the two swords, snorted, and began to disappear. Her summoning time had come.
Gavin took Ivanso's map and ran straight to the north. After only running 800 meters, he got into another warehouse, which was dark and filled with heavily armed people.
Catherine, Veranika, Carissa, Regina, Darwin, Auguste, Erdan, etc., can the army of conquerors be fully equipped? Although the total number is less than a hundred, can it break out?
Combat power, defeating thousands of regular troops is as easy as drinking cold water.
If Gavin's ambush team responded and there was a battle on his side, they would all arrive on the battlefield in just a few seconds.
"Playing conspiracies is bound to be easy to be plotted by conspirators, but as we have seen before, it depends on the strength of both parties." The first person to speak was still Catherine, "Whether we want to join the game or not, it depends on whether we have the confidence, or not.
Even if the situation is a trap, it is still possible to break the situation."
After Gavin returned, they didn't ask about the meeting at all, because they witnessed the entire process, in the form of a real phantom projection of Rachel's brain.
"According to the trap intended by the wrong party to lead their elites in, they rely on legs from two sources. One is like the original troll army, sacrificing innocent souls and recruiting reinforcements from hell.
Come here, that method takes too long and has obvious flaws. The strength of the demons teleported is uncertain. Once the teleportation gate is broken, the teleportation can be terminated.
One way is to use the plague virus they are best at to kill and transform their elites on a large scale. If not, they have an absolute advantage. They don't know that they have found a way to crack the virus." Villani
Ka analyzed.
Gavin had no intention of continuing to delve deeper that time. He waved his legs and said: "They have spent enough time and energy on this matter, and they have also found out the details of the wrong party.
As for the use of tactics, he would like to see if he is better at it, or whether he is better at magic.
Ask Susie to mobilize a hundred elite kobolds from the Trap Corps and clean out the abandoned warehouse as quickly as possible to see if it can really lead directly to the east of Ivanso.
The army of the conquerors set up camp and pressed on Ivanso."
"Zuo Ming." Everyone responded in unison.
Regardless of whether they understand war or not, everyone knows that espionage warfare, conspiracy warfare, and elite beheading tactics are not auxiliary. The conqueror's army must be mobilized, and Ivanso must besieged.
Previously, it was in a semi-encamped state, unloading horses but not unloading cargo. If the conqueror's army wanted to start, it would take more than an hour to prepare. Now it is in a fully encamped state, and it would take at least a full day to prepare to start.
The conqueror's army was now in an environment where everyone was the enemy. Gavin and the others simply did not dare to divide their troops, but instead used the entire army to suppress them in the form of an entire chariot camp.
They had already calculated that Ivanso had no strength advantage. Relying on the mysterious locks on the city wall, their troops were a bit stretched, let alone taking the initiative to attack.
"It's moving, it's moving, the army of conquerors is moving."
"The war has begun, the war has begun, the army of conquerors has officially started war with Ivanso."
"The Conqueror's army surrounds Ivanso."
As soon as the conqueror's army moved, all kinds of news spread to the major cities in Ivanso as quickly as possible, and countless pairs of eyes stared at their every move.
Gavin naturally did not mistake Ivanso for launching an ant attack on the city, but instead pushed out the tower chariots and side carriages to form a huge formation, slowly advancing towards their city wall bit by bit.
Ivanso is a small city, and the city wall is not high, only about six or seven meters, which is not much higher than a four-and-a-half-meter tower chariot.
Those floor-type chariots are nothing like ready-made siege towers. An ordinary adult standing on them can jump onto Ivanso as soon as he turns over, let alone those tall and powerful hobgoblin giants.
"Ballista, prepare, launch!"
"Catapult, prepare, launch!"
Buzz!
That's the whistling sound of a crossbow arrow that is as thick as a duck's egg and more than two meters long.
call!
Is that the sound made by a stone bullet weighing two to thirty kilograms when it breaks through the air?
The scene of hundreds of crossbows and hundreds of catapults showing off their power at the same time was shocking and stirred up a lot of dust outside the city of Ivanso.
However, one person and one vehicle could not be harmed, because the conqueror's army's vehicle camp was not within range at all, at least a hundred meters away.
Ivanso was using that method to intimidate, warning the conquerors not to get too close, otherwise their tower-type chariots would not be able to withstand the bombardment of such war weapons.
"Treant Corps, attack." Gavin waved his leg.
Accompanied by an exciting sound of horns, more than forty huge figures staggered out of the army of conquerors.
From the very beginning, there were not two extraordinary regiments of the conqueror's army, but three.
Those tree people all have at least ten life dice, which is truly extraordinary, because the conqueror army has always used them as beasts of burden and tools for loading and unloading cargo, thus making people ignore their war use.
The more than forty tree men were divided into eight teams, each team consisted of about five people. The two tree men walking at the front each held a super shield in their legs. Otherwise, they could be called
As for shields, they can be made of thin logs pieced together using wood plasticity. They can be simple and crude.
Bao Xinwei and the tree men behind him all held a super-large stone bullet in their legs. Most tree men had the ability to throw stones.
The eight treant teams, not far apart, began to slowly advance towards Ivanso City.
"The ballista is ready."
"Prepare the catapult."
There was another shout from the top of Ivansuo City. Along with the crowds of people, the sound of creaking ballistas and catapults came. All the city defense weapons were aimed at the behemoths that were shoulder to shoulder with the city wall. If they were not allowed to charge
When they reached the east side of the city wall, the city wall could not withstand their bombardment from the east.
The Treant Corps turned a blind eye to the threats and continued to advance slowly but firmly. Behind them, the horses of the Red Falcon Cavalry Regiment and the Nott Guards Heavy Cavalry were snorting thickly, ready to charge at any time.
Anyone who knows a little bit about war knows that even if you can't defend a city, you can't be beaten passively. Especially when the enemy's siege equipment is preparing to advance to the east of the city, the defense equipment alone is not enough. Elite troops must be dispatched to
Cooperate with the city defense equipment to destroy those siege equipment to prevent your city defense from being destroyed.
That is the reason why the city defenders still refused to completely block the city gate even though they knew that the city gate was the weakest point and easiest to be breached by the enemy.
Because once the gate is sealed, it means that the initiative in the entire war is lost. There is no way to take the initiative to destroy the siege equipment, and there is no way to pursue the enemy, which is equivalent to leaving the enemy in an invincible position.
At Fort Nott, there were only a dozen cavalrymen in Zalanda's leg, so he was under great pressure and took the initiative to destroy the enemy's catapult. Could it be for this reason?
Most battlefield games begin with a bloody battle of mobile forces. Whoever wins that bloody battle will control the initiative on the entire battlefield.
Until the Treant Corps, which were used as siege equipment, advanced into the attack range of the city defense ballistae and city defense catapults, Ivanso was not seen sending out his own mobile troops, and the city gate was closed from beginning to end.
I don't know that the commander of Ivanso doesn't know that simple military principle. It's true that his mobile troops are extremely unconfident. They are afraid that after they come out, they will not only fail to defeat the Treant Corps, but will be defeated by the heavy cavalry of the Conqueror Army.
Take the opportunity to follow and seize the city gate.
I believe the latter is more likely to be feasible, as heavy cavalry can be purchased and maintained in every city.
Especially if the Dragon Coast is a vast stretch of sand, a city that can purchase a fort and raise two or three hundred heavy cavalry can be proud of itself.
After all, mercenary wars and assassination wars are the main ones there, and large-scale cavalry wars would only appear on the Tethyr side.
Of the 1,200 Nott Guards in the Conqueror's army, the only ones who can be called heavy cavalry are the 200 who serve as vanguards, and the remaining 1,000 as auxiliary cavalry. Not only do they not belong to the
The heavy cavalry has sophisticated equipment, does not have years of training, and its professional level is also lacking.
In Tethyr, does the knight belong to an advanced profession? Generally speaking, that profession is biased towards warriors, but does it have the special ability of the paladin partner's walking knight, which will allow his walking knight to increase with his professional level?
Upgrading and unlocking professional capabilities also revolve around riding combat.
There is a huge difference in power and safety between charges with magic blessing and those without magic blessing.
Just such a miscellaneous heavy cavalry, excluding equipment updates, the basic maintenance cost of just salary and food and drink is as high as 50,000 to 60,000 gold coins per month.
Undead armies have never been known for their mobility, and Ivanso is no exception.
"emission."
"emission."
"emission."
The roar of crossbows and catapults was heard again from the top of the city. They could now place their hopes on the quantity and power of the defense equipment.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A large number of crossbow arrows and slingshots hit the tree man's super-large wooden shield heavily. It was quite powerful, and sawdust and gravel flew everywhere, making a thumping sound, but that was all.
The super-large shields in the tree man's legs are more powerful, but rough is still rough. Will the quantity cause qualitative changes?
Most of the crossbow arrows can only penetrate those super large wooden shields, but they are unable to attack the tree people behind them again.
Throwing stones can knock the super large wooden shield around, but it is not enough to break it.
Occasionally, crossbow arrows and slings would pass over the super large wooden shield and hit the tree man behind, but it would be difficult to cause fatal damage.
Because they can't activate the plants, and they don't seek fatal harm, even if the ballistae and crossbow arrows are nailed to the body ten or eight times, there is no way to damage the essence of life.
The situation of throwing stones is similar, and there is no way to cause a fatal threat to its thick body.
As for the number of Ivanso city defense weapons, it does not provide a sufficient advantage.
Because the Treant Corps did not spread their attacks across the board, but maintained a distance of more than 20 meters from each other, the eight teams facing each other were not equipped with defensive equipment on the 200-300-meter city wall, no matter how far away they were.
But it's beyond range.
Their actual demand for crossbows and catapults does not exceed fifty in total, with half of them each.
The Treant Corps pushed forward slowly despite the firepower.
Since it relies purely on strength rather than mechanical assistance, the tree man's stone throwing range is relatively short, and it must be pushed at least fifty meters east of the city to exert its power.
The ballistas and catapults used to defend the city are located high in the east. The catapults have a range of more than 100 meters, while the catapults have a range of more than 200 to 300 meters.
No matter how slow the advancement speed of the Treant Corps is, it is still very large. One step can take several steps of an ordinary person, and the speed is quite impressive.
