"But in the end we still can't defend the paradise, right?" After listening to Zhou Xingyun's words, Xiao Xiaosai roughly understood what he meant. If they use the swamp forest, they can easily resist the Alat bandit group.
The problem is that in addition to the Alat Bandits, they also have to face the army of the Kingdom of Lhasa.
However, Xiao Sai also heard from Zhou Xingyun's words that he had a way to break the situation.
In order to let Zhou Xingyun explain his countermeasures, Xiao Xiaosai couldn't help but look pitiful and showed a sad expression, hoping to win Zhou Xingyun's sympathy.
This is probably the first time that Seluvinia used the "beauty trap" trick on Zhou Xingyun.
Only Xiao Xiaosai could pretend to be pitiful to win Zhou Xingyun's sympathy.
No, Zhou Xingyun saw Xiao Xiaosai about to burst into tears and asked him with a sore nose... 'But in the end we still can't keep the paradise, right?'
Zhou Xingyun immediately softened his heart, and couldn't bear to comfort him: "Hey, don't cry, I have some good news that I haven't told you. The Alat Bandit seems to have differences with the Lhasa Kingdom, and has not leaked the information about the paradise, probably
They want to monopolize the paradise. Now the Alat Bandits are slowly searching for the paradise. If nothing else happens, we can give the Alat Bandits a head-on blow!"
"How did you know that the Alat bandits were slowly approaching the paradise?" Xiao Xiaosai looked at Zhou Xingyun curiously.
"When you were thinking about how to skip class last night and did your homework in advance, we also did our homework." Zhou Xingyun said with a playful smile. The Alat Bandits are not iron men. After going through the battle, they need to rest and indulge.
Therefore, the paradise will be relatively peaceful these days, and the Alat Bandits will not immediately attack the paradise after capturing Fort Mayba.
Yesterday, Zhou Xingyun took a nap at noon and could not sleep at all at night. With nothing to do, he had to take Wei Suyao and other girls out to investigate to see if there was any movement from the enemy forces.
As a result, Zhou Xingyun discovered that the Alat Bandits were just like attacking border villages. They divided their troops to raid villages and towns in multiple directions and plundered all the villages southwest of Maiba Fort.
Slightly different from the border villages, the residents of the surrounding villages and towns of Maiba Fort had already learned of the fall of Maiba Fort and received news of the enemy's invasion, so they packed their bags and fled in advance.
After occupying the villages and towns, the members of the Alat Band began to have fun.
Judging from the direction in which the Alat bandits were heading, Zhou Xingyun could conclude that they were undoubtedly heading towards the paradise. However, the marching speed of the Arat bandit seemed very slow. One day passed, and they could not even see how far they had gone.
There is also leisure time to stay and play in villages and towns.
Do the Arat Bandits know where Paradise is?
The answer is, yes.
When Xiao Xiaosai hurriedly retreated from Maiba Castle, he had already left traces of his group's retreat. With a little tracking, the Alat Bandits can determine the specific location of the paradise.
Therefore, as long as the Arat bandits are willing, they can reach the city and reach the swamp forest outside the paradise within one day.
However, the Alat bandits were not in a hurry. They walked and stopped, recharging their energy while concealing their intentions. It seemed that they did not want the army of the Kingdom of Lhasa to discover the existence of the paradise.
Why did Zhou Xingyun think so? Because all the troops of the Lhasa Kingdom were stationed in Maiba Fort, and there was no other movement.
If the army of the Kingdom of Lhasa knew that there was a secret town near the southwest of Maiba Fort, they would definitely not be able to sit still! This is a huge hidden danger! You can stab them in the back at any time!
Just imagine, if the soldiers of the Kingdom of Lhasa stationed at Maiba Fort attack the royal capital of Cheryl in an aggressive manner, and then a group of strange soldiers suddenly appear from the southwest and cut off their retreat, wouldn't that be a fool's errand?
To put it bluntly, the army of the Kingdom of Lhasa stationed in Mayba Fort must know that there is a city to the southwest of Mayba Fort, which can take care of each other with the royal capital of the Principality of Cheryl. With Mayba Fort sandwiched in the middle, the army of the Kingdom of Lhasa must be sitting there.
Can't live.
Even if the army of the Kingdom of Lhasa does not send troops to attack the paradise, it will send a team of people to station outside the swamp forest of the paradise to monitor its every move at all times.
However, the army of the Kingdom of Lhasa remains indifferent and is currently stationed at Maiba Fort with peace of mind. This shows that they are not aware of the existence of "Paradise".
The Alat Band probably wanted to take over the paradise for themselves, so they concealed important information and did not report it to the Lhasa Kingdom's army.
It is estimated that the Alat Thieves learned from Xiaosai's adoptive father and mother that the paradise is just a resort for eating, drinking and having fun, and there are not many people who can fight. The troops stationed in the paradise are also female soldiers, so the Alat Thieves
Tuancai despises Paradise, thinking that he can swallow Paradise with just a few men.
If the Alat Bandits did not notify the Lhasa Kingdom's army and came to attack the paradise alone, they could give the Alat Bandits a severe blow in the swamp forest.
Of course, the above is just the first step in their plan, because the real headache is the regular army of the Kingdom of Lhasa, which has 10,000 soldiers.
"But I heard from Instructor Holier that the Alat Bandits are more difficult to deal with than the regular army of the Kingdom of Lhasa, because the leader of the Alat Bandits is not only an excellent leader, but also a hero-level strongman."
Xiao Xiaosai told Zhou Xingyun the intelligence she had heard. From the perspective of her mentor, the regular army of the Kingdom of Lhasa was indeed difficult to deal with, but compared with the brave and capable Alat Bandit, the latter was obviously more terrifying.
Especially Root, the leader of the Alat Bandit, is very famous in the Western Continent and is a legendary figure. He is even called the "Dead Apostle", which means that he only brings death and leaves no grass growing in his path.
"Is that so..." Zhou Xingyun was talking eloquently in front of Xiaosai. Unfortunately, he made a mistake and did not adapt to local conditions. The Western Continent is different from the Central Plains. The thieves here are not as easy to deal with as the mountain bandits in the Central Plains.
To be honest, most of the thieves in the Western Continent have the ability to destroy a country.
Of course, a band of thieves cannot destroy a country like a large empire, but a small country like the Principality of Cheryl can be destroyed by a single Arat bandit group.
It is very easy for the Arat Bandit Group to destroy the Principality of Cheryl. Look at the tragic situation in the border villages.
The Alat Bandits are a fast-moving mobile force. They are like a swarm of locusts eroding the wheat fields. As long as they continue to burn, kill, and loot, and burn down, loot, and kill all the small villages and towns in the Principality of Cheryl, the Principality of Cheryl will naturally move forward.
perish.
After all, this is what the thieves in the Western Continent are like. They follow the law of the jungle and advocate the law of the jungle. They don't even think about founding a country, let alone rule and govern a country.
The thieves' way of survival is to constantly plunder.
To put it more appropriately, their behavior is tantamount to cannibalism.
The Principality of Cheryl is only a small country, with a total military strength of just over 10,000 people. It is unable to withstand the locust-like raids and plunder of the Alat Bandit.
In other words, it is not that the regular army of the Principality of Cheryl cannot defeat the Alat Bandit, it is just that the Alat Bandit will not go to war with the regular army of the Principality of Cheryl.
It is for this reason that countries like the Principality of Cheryl will ask for the protection of the great empire. If a band of thieves invades the territory, the empire will send a powerful mobile force to support the Principality of Cheryl and drive the thieves away.
run.
Normally, when the thieves learn that the empire has sent powerful cavalry to support small countries, they will sneak away.
In a battle with the Empire's cavalry regiment, the thieves had no chance of winning.
The situation in the Central Plains is completely different from that in the Western Continent.
In the Central Plains, there were not only court gendarmes to maintain law and order in various places, but also Jianghu sects to uphold justice, thus inhibiting the development and growth of bandits. Even the evil sects did not dare to make a living by "eating people" like the thieves in the Western mainland.
After all, if the evil sect really dares to massacre people like the Alat Bandit, not to mention that the imperial court will send troops to encircle and suppress them, even the Wulin Alliance will not let them go.
Why did the Martial Arts Alliance twenty years ago attack the Seven Destiny Martial Arts of Fengtian City with righteous indignation? Isn’t it because they were just like the Alat Bandits, massacring civilians everywhere.
All in all, the thieves in the Western Continent are very powerful, even more powerful than the regular army of the Kingdom of Lhasa. At least Xiaosai's swordsmanship instructor believes that the regular army of the Kingdom of Lhasa is not to be feared, but it is the Alat Bandit that is frightening.
so……
What to do? What to do now?
Zhou Xingyun originally wanted to show off in front of Xiaosai, pretending that he was a great strategist and that everything was as he expected, but now he can no longer pretend, so how should he smooth things over?
Also, what is a hero-level powerhouse? Can Xiaosai explain it in depth? Could it be an ancient and modern level master? If it is really an ancient and modern level master, then the Alat Bandit Group will be really difficult to deal with.
Zhou Xingyun said, 'Is that so...', then pretended to think and fell into silence.
In fact, Zhou Xingyun was consulting his 'advisor' Xiao Saisai, how strong is that hero-level strongman?
After all, when Xiao Xiaosai mentioned the leader of the Arat Bandit, he spoke very magically and even used words like "legendary" and "death apostle" to describe him.
Selvinia heard Zhou Xingyun's secret words and told him truthfully that the so-called hero-level strongman is a description used in the Western continent to flaunt a person's strength, similar to the peak warrior and the glorious warrior.
Seluvinia made a brief assessment and found that the strength of the hero-level powerhouse was equivalent to the glory powerhouse in the martial arts of the Central Plains.
When talking about this, Seluvinia did not forget to tell Zhou Xingyun, Tina, Xia Long, and Dai Shida that they were all well-known heroes in the Western Continent.
The hero level is equivalent to a glorious and powerful person, while the great hero level is a quasi-past and modern master.
Also, when Zhou Xingyun met the noble for the first time, the other party said during the conversation, "I didn't expect that the powerful warrior Amanda mentioned was actually such a beautiful lady."
Those who can be called warrior-level warriors mostly refer to warriors who have reached the pinnacle of strength.
It is true that warriors, heroes, and great heroes are all titles that people praise and admire. There are many people whose strength is not up to standard, or who are rewarded by emperors, and they are also called warriors, heroes, and great heroes.
Therefore, when Xiaosai mentioned Lute, the leader of the Arat Bandit, he emphasized the 'heroic level'. Although he is not a hero, his strength has reached the heroic level, which is probably what he means.
