C158 Join Forces to Drive the Enemy away

"Oh, Earl Bodel, you must be kidding me. This time, Count Spark was a little too petty, and it was an insult to the reputation of the nobles. He said he wanted to attack Zhonghua City, but he came to attack the Gode Fortress of Prince Welsley. He didn't just say that he wanted to attack me, but his ultimate goal and appetite are not small! " Tianchen denied that he was in the wrong. "Our army is just helping to defend Gode Fortress. It is not a good thing to let the soldiers of Black Sky lead our country's stronghold. What do you think? "

Borderi secretly cursed Tianchen for being shameless. How could he be so generous after snatching his fiancée? However, the meaning behind Tianchen's words made Borderi's heart freeze. He did not have much of an opinion on whether the Black Sky soldiers would defend the Gode Fortress or not. There were not hundreds of thousands of Black Sky soldiers to defend his benefactor. He was afraid that the current situation wouldn't be the same as the situation in the three princes' Haitian. However, as for the appetite of the Conquering Army mentioned by Tianchen. . . Bordeli had some vague guesses. Now that he was sitting face to face with Tianchen, he wanted to hear what Tianchen had to say.

"Marquis Tianchen, what do you think about the Conquering Army's attack on Gode Fortress this time?"

"Haha, I think the earl also has some guesses. To Wilsley, the Gode Fortress was just a transit city in front of him. It is not very important, but it is facing the corridor of Great Wilderness. It could defend against the First Prince and Second Prince's attacks. However, the most we can do now is to defend the Lami County on a larger scale. We don't have much use for it. However, if it is obtained by His Highness Jonard. . . It's different!"

"Indeed, if Gode Fortress is not used as a transfer city, the city ahead will have a hard time!"

"Is it just very bitter?" Tianchen laughed and said, "I am afraid that His Highness Welsley, who does not have many soldiers, will have to withdraw his troops and abandon the defense. Not only that, but under the threat of the city of Gotham. At least ten cities will become His Highness Jonard's new territory one after another, and those cities that His Highness the First Prince sent out will also become His Highness's next target. The surrounding provinces of Great Wilderness will become the Conquering Army's target because of the fall of Gode Fortress! "

Shock! Although Borderi had long realized the importance of Gode Fortress, he had also received some instructions from Fourth Prince Wilsley through the magic transmission. However, he only thought that there was a possibility of abandoning a special city. Although the other cities were also in an awkward position, it was not that they did not have enough troops to defend. However, after hearing Tianchen's detailed analysis of the consequences of the Gode Fortress falling into the hands of Prince Jonard, he was shocked on the spot by the possible consequences.

In fact, it wasn't just Borderi who was shocked by the consequences. Even before he obtained the Gode Fortress, he had only analyzed that the Conquering Army could conquer half of the prefecture. It wasn't until he took over the Gode Fortress that Tianchen thought of this. It was only at this moment that he realized that the expert who had created this strategic plan had a huge appetite. He was afraid that he wanted to establish the strongest position of Jonard in the Haitian in one fell swoop.

As for whether he would allow Spark to attack the Zhonghua City, Tianchen thought. That was for sure. Once he succeeded in attacking the Zhonghua City. . . The depth of the Great Wilderness Corridor's strategy would be completely controlled by Jonard, from east to west. From south to north, Jonard would obtain the greatest strategic advantage against his two brothers. One was without economic support, and the other was because his reputation in foreign countries had been tarnished. Jonard's dream of becoming the emperor of Haitian was not far away.

However, if the foundation of Jonard becoming the emperor of Haitian was lost by Tianchen in Zhonghua City, Tianchen would definitely not be the person who would kill with his neck stretched out. It was definitely not the style of Yu family to sit where they were and wait for others to kill him.

"But, isn't the Gode Fortress now in your hands, Marquis Tianchen? I think Conquering Army should be tactful enough to go back after seeing this. Marquis, can you exchange the Gode Fortress for. . . "Bordeli started to ask Tianchen to return the Gode Fortress, even though it was obviously impossible. However, he had already received the order from Tianchen.

Of course Tianchen understood this. It was not easy to get the Gode Fortress out of the fire, so how could Tianchen return it to him? Especially since the position of Gode Fortress could separate several major powers. Together with the stronghold in the wilderness, it could become the outpost of the Zhonghua City. It wouldn't be so easy to take it back just like that.

Immediately cutting off Bordeli's words, Tianchen said, "Sir Bordeli, There are still more than 800,000 troops waiting in the distance. Do you think Prince Welley alone can defend the Gode Fortress? Not to mention the reinforcements from the Black Heaven Empire. That is a foreign army, the Zhonghua City that attacked me before. I only said that Prince Welsley has authorized you to lead nearly 400,000 troops. These troops can help you defend this broken Gode Fortress? Could it be that some of the troops that have just gathered from the civilians can hold up against Conquering Army, which has an elite empire's guard army as its backbone?"

Bordeli was suddenly at a loss for words. Tianchen's words were already very straightforward. Borderi also knew that the situation was indeed like this. Now, the three princes were expanding the army at all costs. Although his benefactor, Wilsley, had a much better economy than the First Prince, after expanding his army to a million and five hundred thousand soldiers and borrowing a large number of elite soldiers from the Black Heaven Empire, He was also somewhat stretched out. In the vicinity of the Gode Fortress. . . Apart from the fifty thousand soldiers stationed in the Black Heaven Empire, only he, Boldley, controlled a cavalry formation subordinate to the Southern Army Corps. The rest were new recruits who had gathered for less than half a year. Usually, they would be stationed in an ordinary city. If there were really some big battles, they would not be able to withstand too many cruel tests.

If it was this time, Bodelli would have to let the cavalry lead the way. The soldiers of the three divisions at the back could only be used as deterrence. In front of the one hundred thousand soldiers blocking the way, they were almost defeated by one-third of the enemies. What kind of humiliation was this? If not for the advantage of numbers and cavalry. . . The one hundred thousand soldiers would have been enough for his three divisions to be defeated.

But now, Conquering Army only retreated temporarily. That was because Tianchen's Zhonghua City troops and grassland cavalry existed in Gode Fortress. Both sides had barely managed to gather up the same number of troops to face Spark's threat. Once Tianchen really gave Gode Fortress to Borderi, In addition, he left with the Zhonghua City troops. Bordeli could not imagine if he really had the ability to defend. One should know that within 500 kilometers of him, There was no longer any possibility of reinforcements coming to help him!

With a suspicious look in his eyes, Borderi asked, "I wonder what Marquis Tianchen is thinking? Can you tell me and let me take a look at it?"

"Haha, I think we can get to the point now!" Tianchen smiled. He ignored the awkward smile on Bordeli's face, took a sip of wine, and continued, "I want Sir Bordeli to pass two suggestions to His Highness Wilsley for me. The first is that I think that Gode Fortress is a sensitive point, and letting the Black Heavens Army guard it is an insult to the prestige of Haitian. I think this stronghold will still be guarded by Zhonghua City, but I can guarantee that. . . Unless there is an attack, we will not take the initiative to attack His Highness Wilsley's territory. I think that His Highness and Lord Bodelli can be at ease with my reputation, right? "

" That is, that is! " Borderi originally wanted to take over the Gode Fortress, but when he heard Tianchen promise not to take the initiative to attack, he could only swallow the words in his throat bitterly.

"Secondly, we have to settle this matter right now. The two of us have to work together to drive the Conquering Army out of the Great Wilderness corridor. Otherwise, I'm afraid that both of us won't be able to rest easy!"

"Thirdly, if the Black Heavens Army attacks the Zhonghua City again, I hope that His Highness Wilsley can promise not to send a single soldier to them. Could it be that His Highness can't tell that Black Heaven wants the people of Haitian to kill each other?"

Bordeli swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He felt that his lips were somewhat dry. The things in front of him seemed to be rising, "I'm afraid I need to report these things to His Highness Wilsley before I can solve it. However, the second point you mentioned, I think we should be able to reach an agreement now. Expelling these despicable fellows in the name of Conquering Army is the duty of us nobles. "

Tianchen understood the consequences that he had mentioned to Bordeli. The other side had already understood more than half of the situation. They also understood that it was not something that Welley could bear to let the army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Great Wilderness corridor without knowing the direction of their attack.

. . .

Tianchen looked at Bodel's back as he left with his personal guards. He turned to the middle-aged man who had just arrived next to him and said: "It seems like the First Prince has already given a clear answer. Viscount Nitako?"

The middle-aged man named Nitako shrugged his shoulders and said, "His Excellency the marquis has come up with such a perfect plan, even pulling Fourth Prince's troops along. His Highness the First Prince and I can't see anything wrong with it, and it's just too tempting. "

Tianchen nodded and said, "That's good. I was also forced into a corner. Who asked Spark, who was high up in the Conquering Army, to help Jonard do this? If he got what he wanted, Not only did the First Prince and Fourth Prince not gain any benefits, I'm afraid that the one who suffered the greatest loss in the end would be me, an insignificant figure. You two can only lose a few cities at most, while I will have to hand over my territory to someone else. . . "

As the negotiator of the First Prince, of course, Nitako was not a mediocre person. He had already seen through the crux of the matter. "Then, Marquis, should we also begin the official negotiations? Rest assured that our troops have already gathered and can set off at any time. I'm only here to discuss the follow-up issues. "

"Of course. . . " Tianchen led the way to the negotiation location with Nitako and started another round of dirty bargaining.
