C23 The Dragon Knights Were Equal to a Hundred Thousand Soldiers
Mabel. When Ma Loong heard the news of Tianchen and Luo Lee's arrival, he personally welcomed them to the interior of Suode Castle.
"Lord, you have finally come. . . " Mabel welcomed Tianchen somewhat tiredly. Although he knew that the power of the dragon knight could change the situation of this sudden war, he did not have the energy to flatter Yu Tianchen. Mabel was indeed very tired.
After a few days of cruel war, the commander of the Suode Castle who was in high spirits seemed to be very haggard. He probably did not sleep well for the past two days.
Although Tianchen didn't have a good impression of Mabel, he had to admit that if he was the commander of Suode Castle, in the face of such a huge war situation, Tianchen alone might not be able to do better than Mabel.
"Sir Commander! I wonder if my arrival can help you?" Tianchen asked Mabel.
"Of course, my lord, the empire's mobilization this time is lacking. The Southern Army did not respond in time. So far, apart from the fifty thousand soldiers gathered from various cities in Tiannan County, the Southern Army actually replied that Black Heaven Empire's side troops were harassing the border and needed three days to reach Suode Castle. That's why I have the face to ask for help from my lord. "
150 thousand soldiers fighting against 600 thousand enemy troops, their chances of winning were really slim. Moreover, the Black Heaven Empire had 600 thousand elite soldiers, while the Suode Castle only had 100 thousand soldiers that could be considered elite soldiers. Even Mabel did not have much hope of gathering 50 thousand soldiers from the various cities, let alone Tianchen.
Tianchen did not think it was a big deal. He already knew the style of those nobles. He had seen through what Black Heaven Empire's side army was harassing the border. The border between Black Heaven Empire and Sea Heaven Empire was a Wuso mountain range and a Wumdu river. The other place was the Magic Forbidden Forest, and the only path on the land was the Suode Castle. On the border less than 100 kilometers away, if they went around the Suode Castle, they would be counter-attacked by the 100,000 soldiers of the Suode Castle. Therefore, if they didn't completely uproot the Suode Castle, the Black Heaven Empire would never be able to reach the inner region of the Sea Heaven Empire.
Of course, the Black Heaven Empire could also choose to forcefully cross the Great Wu River. However, if it was that easy to cross the Wumu River, there wouldn't be 600,000 elite soldiers from the Black Heaven Empire attacking the Suode Castle. One should know that although the Wumu River wasn't as big as the few rivers in the Three Rivers Plain, it was still a lot easier to cross. Moreover, there were many aquatic Magic Beast in the river. It was the natural boundary between the Sea Heaven Empire and the Black Heaven Empire. In addition, the southern army of the empire was located to the north of the river. It was almost impossible for the Black Heaven Empire to attack the Sea Heaven Empire from the river.
The southern army of Sea Heaven Empire actually used the excuse of Black Heaven Empire harassing the border to delay reinforcements to Suode Castle. In Tianchen's opinion, it was obvious that the southern army did not like the Ma Loong family's Mabel coming to seize the important position of Suode Castle's commander, which originally belonged to the southern army.
Of course, Tianchen believed that Mabel definitely knew about this matter.
However, Mabel could only swallow his own grievances. Ma Loong's family was originally located in the center of the capital and the northwest of it. Although Mabel was the one who broke into the southern system, he did not expect that Black Heaven Empire would start a war so quickly. Mabel had just taken over the position of commander of the garrison in Suode Castle. His position had not yet stabilized, and he was unable to mobilize the southern army.
That was why he thought of asking for help from Yu Tianchen, the lord of Zhonghua City. He wanted to rely on the power of the dragon knight. He believed that it could match up to more than 100,000 soldiers. If that was the case. . . Adding the original 100,000 elite soldiers of Suode Castle and the 50,000 soldiers that were gathered to guard the city, although they could not block the fierce attack of 600,000 elite soldiers of Black Heaven Empire, However, he believed that the Southern Army Corps, which had been waiting for three days, should be able to hold on for a long time.
Tianchen said firmly, "No matter what, Commander, you can rest assured that you will do your best. " Of course, it was not for Mabel, but for the refugees.
. . .
This was the second morning after Tianchen arrived in Suode Castle, and also the third day after the Black Heaven Empire's army attacked Suode Castle.
Although Suode Castle was only a medium-sized city stronghold, its defensive system was definitely comparable to a large city. Furthermore, there was a special addition of a team of one hundred people to form a magic unit. It could be said that Suode Castle could last more than a year against the attack of three hundred thousand enemy soldiers. Even in the face of the fierce attack of 600,000 elite soldiers, the Suode Castle still stood upright. However, because there was a legion of over a thousand soldiers from the Magic Group in the Black Heaven Empire this time, the Suode Castle was at a disadvantage when facing the magic attack from the Black Heaven Empire. Facing the fierce attack of 600,000 elite soldiers, the Suode Castle was in a precarious situation.
Standing on the tower of the Suode Castle, Tianchen's eyes fell on a flag fluttering in the wind behind the Black Heaven Empire. Even Tianchen, who was standing on the city wall of Suode Castle, could feel the killing intent coming from the flag.
A blood-red military knife slashed across a black sun on the flag. This flag was the flag of Bloody Sun Army in the north of the Black Heaven Empire. It was called the "Blood Sun Flag"!
For hundreds of years, the Bloody Sun Army had been the number one vanguard army in the Black Heaven Empire to attack the Sea Heaven Empire. Basically, it ended with the Bloody Sun Army's victory. Although the Bloody Sun Army had won many battles in the early stages of the war, they would always be defeated by the concentrated attacks of the Sea Heaven Empire. However, it was enough to show the strength of the Bloody Sun Army. One should know that the Bloody Sun Army had maintained an undefeated record under the same number of soldiers. Even Yu Tianchen's father, Yu Tianloong, could not do anything to the Bloody Sun Army.
"Lord, the troops attacking Suode Castle these two days were from Bloody Sun Army, some ordinary troops, and magic battalions. Bloody Sun Army's main force has been conserving energy. Today it seems that they are preparing to use Bloody Sun Army's main force. " A senior staff officer of the Suode Castle explained to Tianchen.
Tianchen nodded and thought for a while. Mabel's request was to use the dragon knight to appear on the battlefield and use it as a form of intimidation. After that, he would return to the Suode Castle for a defensive battle. Mabel estimated that the power of the dragon knight was only equivalent to the combat strength of 100,000 people. This was because several hundred years ago, the founding emperor of the Yalan Empire, Klent. There was a battle in Yalan where one man and one dragon fought against 100,000 enemies. In the end, they had no choice but to retreat after facing 200,000 soldiers.
The experience gained from this battle made the people of the continent think that the dragon knight was a concept of 100 thousand. It was this concept that made people think that the combat strength of the dragon knight was only that of 10 people.
However, Tianchen's lips curved up slightly. One should know that the dragon Klent killed was only a beginner high level dragon, while his Luo Lee was the top gold dragon in the Dragon Clan. Her current strength was at least Klent. It was more than ten times the size of the Yalan dragon!
Of course, Klent. Yalan's strength back then was Sky paladin. He, Tianchen, was only at the top of the earth. It was not easy to compare, but with Luo Lee's words, he was definitely more powerful than Klent. Yalan was stronger! One had to know that three Holy Beast had fallen at Tianchen's feet. Even Little Black had submitted to Tianchen.
This battlefield. . . Was the place where Tianchen displayed his mightiness!
