C311 A Stalemate
Although the situation was passive, the people of Ivano were in charge of defense. To put it bluntly, it was to defend the city, but to put it in a bigger way, it was to protect the country. Of course, everyone fought with their lives on the line because they knew that as long as they took a step back, their families and territories would be mercilessly trampled on.
On the other hand, Ginger and Auden also had concerns. This battle was just like what Atlas had told them before: they only wanted speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness! No one wanted to turn a surprise attack into a protracted battle. This would not benefit them as they had more people. At this time, they would heavily injure them and slowly grind their opponents to death. Why would he risk his life to take down the Ivano tonight? Both of them were not fools, so they naturally understood the reason behind this.
If it was Tian Qingtian who was leading the army this time, he would definitely defeat them at all costs. Now that they had the advantage, how long would it take before they could give the enemy a fatal blow? Could it be that they had to wait for the enemy to recover before making plans? What a joke! Wouldn't the losses of sieging be even greater then!
However, he had long predicted that the two of them would do so. This way, they would be able to delay for a longer period of time. Their losses would definitely not be small. It would be very helpful to his next plan, so he only told them to heavily injure their opponents. He didn't want to take down Ivano in one go.
As both sides were fighting with such an attitude, a stalemate naturally occurred. At this time, the sky had already lit up. Seeing that Duan Duan had not come out yet, Ginger began to make plans to retreat. But he was still very smart. He destroyed everything that posed a threat first.
He first jumped onto the city wall with a few of his subordinates and destroyed all the defensive tools on it. The arrow tower, the strongbow, and even a few of the city walls had collapsed. If the other party wanted to rebuild it, it would take at least a few days. During this period of time, he should be able to take down this city with Auden.
Auden, who was far away, noticed Ginger's movements and knew that it was time to retreat. He used all his strength to launch a strike, sweeping away a large number of enemies in the surroundings. He shouted, "Retreat!" Then he covered the retreat of his soldiers.
Seeing the enemy's movements, although he wanted to chase after them, the current situation in Ivano City did not allow them to take such a risk. One quickly retreated, while the other chased after them symbolically. Both sides ended this sneak attack with tacit understanding.
The people outside the city were already prepared to set up camp for the alliance army. This was also to ensure that they would not be defeated when the enemy chased after them. Of course, the people inside did not have the mood to care about them anymore. The sneak attack this time had caused the Ivano to suffer heavy losses. It could be said that the two of them had achieved their goal. Both sides started a stalemate. What was left was the protracted war.
At the same time, in the north of this continent, the other two teams also entered a stalemate!
After Tian Qingtian discussed with Chrysanthemum, he found out that the other side had the same confidence as him. However, they had thought that there were too many reasons for this. All of these ambitions had resulted in an abortion. Therefore, she gave the north to him without worry, while she carried out the next step of the plan.
After Chrysanthemum found out about the Sky High Plan, she was very much in favor of it and went crazy for a bit. They actually led troops to surround the Norlin City! And without saying a word, she just quietly surrounded the ___. The next morning, the city guards discovered that there was an additional army under the city wall and immediately panicked. They immediately reported to the City Lord.
Actually, Chrysanthemum's crazy actions were only carried out after careful consideration. On the one hand, after being in the north for so many years, he knew Jack better than anyone else. If he knew about Qingtian's departure, this greedy fellow would definitely try his best to occupy Unfalling City. At that time, Qingtian would definitely fail, and his dream would be shattered. On the other hand, this was the only way to ensure that his opponent wouldn't play any tricks. No matter what, I won't leave. If you want to fight, I'll accompany you. After all, the strength of Storm City was higher than his opponent. Jack wouldn't dare to attack easily. Furthermore, as long as Chrysanthemum stayed here for one more day, the safety of Sky Bearing City's rear would be increased by one more day. Why not?
Chrysanthemum's prediction was correct. Currently, Jack was studying the form of the continent. Although he didn't participate in the so-called "division of powers" negotiations, he knew everything about the Unfalling City through his eyes and ears.
He learned that the chaos in the south was planned by the new patriarch. He knew that his chance had come. It was very likely that he would enter the Unfalling City! However, at the critical moment of his meticulous planning, this chrysanthemum had actually stepped in. He had long known that he would be able to talk to the new patriarch in the Unfalling City. Now, his goal was very obvious. It was to make him unable to move.
In fact, Jack had communicated with the outside world through a bird similar to a carrier pigeon. After so many years of hard work, he had a huge intelligence system. That was why he was very clear about the familial ties of the continent. This was also the reason why he did not make any moves this time. Because he was looking for an opportunity.
But ever since Chrysanthemum surrounded the city outside, let alone birds... Not even a single bug could crawl in. His connection with the outside world had suddenly been cut off! He was like a headless fly, and this made Jack anxious. But he did not want to go out and fight with the other party. Whether he could win or not was a matter of fact. He just drove the chrysanthemum away with great difficulty. Do I still have the strength to attack the Unfalling City? At that time, he was afraid that he would be the first one to disappear from the continent. And the detestable old man seems to want to fight a protracted war. The soldiers quickly built a simple fortress outside Norlin City City. It was clear that they wanted to confront him.
The angry Jack could not stand it anymore. He went to the city wall and asked Chrysanthemum, "Chrysanthemum! I don't know why you moved your soldiers to my territory, but I hope you can get them back as soon as possible. Do you want to start a war? Let me tell you, I, Norlin City, am not afraid of you! Our two families do not interfere with each other's business, but now you are leading troops to surround the city. What exactly do you want?"
Chrysanthemum wasn't in a hurry. She slowly walked to the front of the formation and said, "Old friend, you know what I want to do best. Don't think I can't tell what tricks you're playing. You're pretending to be stupid in front of me? " She waved her hand, and more than ten dead birds flew to the top of the tower.
Although he knew that his letter would be blocked, Jack didn't expect that his old home would collect all of them. All of the content was what his subordinates reported to him from all over the world. Even a fool would know what he was going to do. Let alone him!
"Humph! Let's wait and see!" Jack waved his hand and walked down the city wall for a long time. Now that the matter had been made public, the continent was in a chaotic battle. If he went out to get a piece of the pie at this time, it would be very beneficial for his future development. But now, there was a lion crouching at the door, what should he do? It seemed that the old man didn't want to fight with him at all. He just wanted to waste his time. When the patriarch settled the matter, he would think about him. For a moment, Jack was at a loss for what to do.
When Chrysanthemum saw him leave in a huff, she smiled very happily. "Hahahaha! Don't think that just because you're a little smart, you can get anything you want. Everyone is the same. If you have the ability, then fight me. Even if you lose, I'm willing!"
"Fight with you? After the fight, what am I going to do? Dragging my remaining soldiers and generals to snatch the Unfalling City? Or should I stay at home and wait for the new patriarch to come and deal with me?" Although Jack was extremely angry, he had encountered a rogue like Chrysanthemum. No one could do it. He could only return to City Lord's Mansion and slowly discuss it.
They had no choice but to confront each other like this, and Chrysanthemum was even more infuriating. Not only did they continue to build and strengthen the stronghold, but they also brought some cows and sheep from Storm City to raise. It was a beautiful way to say: Let your soldiers eat fresh food. Eating dry food every day is really unfair to his subordinates.
"Bang!" With a loud sound, Jack smashed the table into pieces. "Old bastard, he might as well start farming here! Plant some more fruit trees and build a city! " Jack roared angrily.
None of his subordinates dared to make a sound. The plan from a few days ago had been well planned. But now, the Storm City had actually stepped in and firmly bit him. Neither the City Lord nor the City Lord. He could only stay here and worry.
"City Lord, we can't let Storm City bully us like this. Why don't we go out now and catch them off guard? Then, we'll attack the Unfalling City directly!" One of the young men said from the side," Do you think I don't want to? But look at his attitude. It seemed like he was going to move all his belongings here. If we break out of the encirclement, what's left if we can break out? Giving up here? We don't know what kind of situation Buluo is in right now. When the time comes, we won't be able to attack him. Then, we won't even have a place to stay! " Jack roared when he saw his subordinates' foolish thoughts.
The rest of them sighed and looked at him, thinking, You deserve to be unlucky. You dare to add oil to the fire at this critical moment?
