As soon as they heard Turundu say that there was a mole, everyone became quiet. Don't speak easily at this time, because any word can trigger endless reverie.
Asalon felt that Turundu's approach was very clever. He gave Turundu an approving look and motioned for him to continue hammering.
The step of beating the stick has been completed. While all the lords are confused, it is time for the second step, to slap the stick.
"I don't understand why some of us are eager to attack Fengxiao City. The enemy's momentum is at its peak. What is the purpose of attacking the city now? Do you think our soldiers have not died enough? Or have we made some kind of agreement with the enemy?
?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the irritable Green Wolf King stood up immediately: "Tulundu, do you think I am a spy?"
Turundu smiled and said: "I just made an inference about something, not against anyone."
"Don't tell me these boring nonsense. You were once Biamba's lackey. You are the most likely to become the mole!"
Turundu's expression changed: "I'm just sharing your Majesty's worries, what right do you have to doubt my loyalty to Your Majesty!"
"Then what qualifications do you have to doubt me?"
Asalon waved his hand and said: "No one doubts your loyalty. You are all the most loyal ministers of the Benlang Kingdom. Before we find out the traitor, we cannot act rashly and rest here temporarily."
The camp Asalon chose is indeed good. It is a rare place on the Prancing Horse River. If a tower is built, the observation range can cover a radius of ten miles.
A distance of ten miles can barely prepare the soldiers for defense, but the garrison is not just for defense. Asalon's food has been very tight. Although he robbed several wealthy households, he still has many more soldiers than before.
, a soldier needs to eat two pounds of food every day, and more than 40,000 soldiers have to consume nearly 100,000 pounds of food every day. This is not a problem that a few wealthy households can solve. If Fengxiao City cannot be captured within five days,
, the army will face the crisis of running out of food.
But Asalon was very patient. He had been studying siege tactics. Five days had passed, and he still had no plan to send troops.
The army was out of food, so he asked the soldiers to continue searching for rich households. The result was the same as before, all the soldiers who went out to look for food never returned.
Even in this situation, Asalon still did not issue an order to send troops. The wily Gray Wolf King finally saw the real reason. This had nothing to do with caution, but was entirely out of fear.
After five days, Asalon still could not break free from the fear of death, and this fear also doomed the outcome of this war. Asalon was not qualified to win at all.
He made the last suggestion to the king: "Let me lead my soldiers to attack the city. I have fifteen thousand soldiers, which is equivalent to the strength of the Black Wolf King. If I attack the city, I will definitely have no chance of winning, but I can at least make the Black Wolf king."
The Wolf King appears, and when we fight, please His Majesty send troops to support immediately."
The Gray Wolf King decided to use himself as a bait to lure the Black Wolf King to appear, and then let the king lead his army to annihilate the enemy. This bloodiness alone was enough to make Asaron ashamed.
He did feel ashamed of his cowardice, but only for a short while. For him, this choice was undoubtedly the safest and safest. After some words of encouragement, Asalon personally
Farewell to the Gray Wolf King,
Before leaving, the Gray Wolf King repeatedly warned that after the battle between him and the Black Wolf King, Asalon must send troops to rescue him. Asalon swore to the God of the Grasslands that as long as he received news of the battle between the two sides, the king's army would arrive within one day.
appear on the battlefield.
When the Gray Wolf King walked away, Turundu whispered to the king: "Your Majesty, the Gray Wolf King took the initiative to attack. He must have his own intention. He wants to take advantage of the fact that we are fighting the Black Wolf King and take the lead in seizing the wind."
Xiaocheng."
Asalon felt that Turundu's worries were reasonable, but he also felt that the Gray Wolf King was no match for the Black Wolf King.
"If the Black Wolf King uses all his strength to defeat the Gray Wolf King, wouldn't his conspiracy fail?"
"The Black Wolf King will not use all his strength against the Gray Wolf King. His target is always on you," Turundu said. "I suggest you not to rush to take action. First, observe the battle situation between the two sides, and wait until the strength of both sides is exhausted.
In no time, we can defeat the Black Wolf King in one fell swoop."
This is a good method. It can not only prevent the Gray Wolf King from reaping the benefits, but also weaken the Gray Wolf King's strength.
The power of the White Wolf King has disappeared. After this war, the power of the Black Wolf King will also disappear. The three major wolf kings will only have the Gray Wolf King. Instead of being controlled by him in the future, it is better to solve the problem directly now.
Having made a plan, Asalon was ready to find someone to help him monitor the movements on the battlefield.
Who would be this suitable candidate? Turundu refused to go. He knew this was an opportunity to make meritorious deeds, but he didn't want to go and never return.
The other wolf kings didn't want to go either, and all showed timidity in front of the ogre.
Only the Red Wolf King volunteered and was willing to take his orc army there.
"I have beast masters who can command steppe wolves to help them detect the battle situation. I also have four hundred orc warriors and five hundred cavalry. Even if they are discovered by Biamba, they can hold on on the battlefield for a while.
If you see the smoke, Your Majesty must give me support. I still have two thousand infantry, and they can support it for a while."
Asalon agreed to the Red Wolf King's request without hesitation. He always believed that the Red Wolf King was most suitable to be a scout and sentry, but he always refused to send troops. It seems that only in desperate situations can people be inspired to fight.
desire.
After the Red Wolf King left, the Green Wolf King also took the initiative to ask for help. He was willing to lead his 3,000 cavalry to support the Gray Wolf King and the Red Wolf King.
This time Asalon was hesitant. Cavalry was very precious. The Blue Wolf King's army camp was all cavalry. If he were to take all three thousand cavalry away, there would only be three thousand cavalry left in the army camp.
He asked Turundu for advice, and Turundu agreed with both hands: "Let them go, send out a few more men and horses, let them support each other, so that the Black Wolf King can no longer make unscrupulous sneak attacks, and the Green Wolf King and the Red Wolf
The royal capital is on the side of the Black Wolf King, so they should suffer more."
Asalon agreed to the Blue Wolf King's request, and the Blue Wolf King set out that night.
Early the next morning, the Gray Wolf King, the Red Wolf King, and the Green Wolf King sent news one after another. The Gray Wolf King had arrived at Fengxiao City. The Red Wolf King found traces of the Black Wolf King on the grassland, but was not alarmed.
On the other side, the Blue Wolf King is stationed at the main road, ready to support at any time.
Now it was time to implement the next step of the plan, and Asalon immediately issued three orders:
First, the Gray Wolf King immediately attacks Fengxiao City.
Second, the Red Wolf King immediately fought with the Black Wolf King.
Third, the Green Wolf King is ready to support the Gray Wolf King.
The three orders were brought back to the camp by messengers. Only then did Asalon realize a problem, why their messengers could go back and forth smoothly, while his own scouts and sentries never returned.
Turundu immediately gave the answer: "The Black Wolf King is tired of dealing with it, and his end is coming soon."
Asalon smiled, he finally understood the mystery of the Book of Ruins.
The Book of Governance was written by the chief maester of the Kingdom of Llane. In Asalon's opinion, this book records the greatest command of mankind.
Building a gorgeous stage and letting everyone be at the mercy of oneself is the pinnacle of a king's wisdom.
But he never dreamed that this was the first time he would receive a battle report from the three wolf kings, and it would also be the last time.
