Chapter 305: Countdown to Perseverance
Abes was indeed a little inconsiderate in his response to Soran.
I originally thought that when facing an enemy at the national level, calling on helpers at the same national level would be a method that everyone would agree to.
But what he didn't expect was that this action of his would make the other party think that he had some connection with General Paddy?
Well, if a period of hostility and defeat is related.
Of course, he could have just brushed it off lightly like that.
Is this the only explanation enough?
Abes blinked, and what was reflected in his eyes was the appearance of the undead still wrapped in flesh in the basement just now.
That was his compromise, and it was irrefutable proof that he was late in coming to the rescue again.
And now, those images are being superimposed on some of the previous images in reverse.
The first casualties occurred when the remnants of the army attacked their own troops;
Then, after the soldiers of Raven Castle were abandoned by General Paddy, they were sacrificed to the One-Eyed God;
All the disasters and difficulties in the entire Gyeonggi region were inseparable from General Paddy, who did not resist before everything began, and who worked hard to mobilize troops internally to strengthen his own command.
And now, these images are about to question him, Abes.
Question him, is this really the only connection between him and General Paddy?
no.
Unlike old Winston, who was brutally beaten by the Supreme Being and is still unconscious;
General Paddy simply didn't want to speak again.
And Abes spared his life and imprisoned him in a cell. Didn't he have an opportunity to take advantage of this extraordinary person, an excellent leader and commander of troops at the level of a monk?
Of course he had thought about this in his mind.
He even put his hand on the other's shoulder and said: "Join the ranks of heroes!" (Lines in Chapter 239)
Now General Paddy just lies in prison without saying a word.
But if the other party offered to surrender, how could Abes not make full use of him - even if it would be a bit unfair to those who were hurt by General Paddy.
Just like the equally sinful one-eyed god Gruumsh, didn't Abes, after executing all those crazy soldiers, use Gruumsh's divine power to fight without any scruples as if he had no worries in his heart?
To put it bluntly, as long as you want a reason, any situation can be justified.
Even though Gruumsh's power has been used against the priest class in the past, General Paddy's power has not yet become a part of him, the king, that can be used. This has not happened yet.
But looking at the excited Soran in front of him, and considering Soran's past of losing his two brothers, Abes's heart would not allow him to lie.
"Indeed, there is a great correlation between us. Generally, we are hostile, but I am also considering using him as a useful tool to atone for my sins."
However, even though he had chosen his words carefully, the hunter in front of him seemed to have grasped the point he wanted - that is, the guy in front of him named Qian Chong Zhan not only had a great connection with General Paddy, but also wanted to re-employ General Paddy.
Soran's eyes narrowed slightly, and the expression on his face instantly became complicated and gloomy.
His heart was like a turbulent ocean, his emotions constantly alternating between anger and disappointment.
Qian Zhongzhan’s words made him feel a sharp pain, as if a wound had been opened and blood was flowing out.
"Are you considering using General Paddy as a tool to do something so that he can atone for his sins?"
Soran's voice was low and filled with suppressed anger. This was the first time he had been so emotional since he had known Qian Zhong Zhan.
Even when I was excited to solve the problem of the missing and become a hero, I didn't feel this way now.
"Do you think he is just a chess piece that can be used so easily? You can wash the blood off the chess piece just by moving it on the chessboard?"
"He carries the revenge of my two brothers!"
"And that much more hatred!"
"Since you said you came from the capital, and you have a hostile relationship with him, you should know who is the cause of the trouble in the small kingdom now!"
The greater good, the overall situation and the general trend are more important than personal grudges.
People can't lose sight of the big picture because of their emotions...right?
Everyone can say nice words, but not everyone can make them effective.
In the past, with the help of the reputation of ancient heroes thousands of years ago, what he said was believed by people.
Moreover, Kronos' wholehearted belief in his existence can serve as a link between him and people who are more distant.
Furthermore, it provided them with the convenience brought by the magic industrial system, created unified security and peace for them, and provided them with the first decentralization of power outside cities and towns, so that Abes's words could be effective in the capital area and in the northeastern region controlled by the capital of the small kingdom of Wommza.
However, after losing these identities and status, and losing the benefits and protection provided, if one intervenes as an ordinary strong man, even if he is still powerful, it will not be so difficult for people to refute and complain about.
Indeed, Abes was not wrong to want to not waste every bit of strength he got;
And it was not wrong that Soran was unwilling to forgive General Paddy.
As for Abes, he solved the insect-vomiting plague, found all the missing people except the extraordinary adventurer team, and told him the key to stimulate his talent and reach the threshold of extraordinaryness, and told him how to make runes. These were all favors to Soran.
But at the same time, Soran also awakened the power of time at a critical moment and used it to save Abes from the instant death effect of the five layers of death aura, and he has been following Abes with full trust.
There was no way for either of them to clearly overpower the other or to clearly indicate who was wiser.
There was no more talking, and the atmosphere between the two of them froze, as if it could cut out an invisible crack.
Abes felt annoyed. He wanted to convince Soran, but even if Abes' words of reason and facts were as sharp as a blade and could easily kill other parts, it would be useless to attack the armor that had already protected his heart.
Just when he didn't know what to do, the sound signal coming from his ear gave him an opportunity to ease the embarrassment and silence.
"Contact has come..."
Early in the morning and late in the evening were the times he and the royal capital agreed to contact each other.
And now, after a night of travel and fighting, the sky was already slightly bright in the morning.
----------
After contacting China Unicom, Abesi also began to give orders.
The projection and deployment of troops is a proposal that can be easily passed if foreign troops intervene.
What's more, Abes's voice in the royal capital has not been diluted, even though he has expanded his forces for several rounds. However, when it comes to military power, no soldier in the capital region dares to say that they do not belong to the royal capital and Lord Abes.
"When I returned to the capital last time, I ordered the vanguard troops on standby to set out and open up the route."
"Only after ensuring that there are no abnormalities in the air route can the Yun-type Big-bellied Iron Bird be deployed."
It is different from the first generation Iron Bird which was more like a bomber and could only accommodate two people.
A transport-type big-bellied iron bird refers to an iron bird that transports troops with an increased abdominal capacity - after all, the iron bird that can launch pilots still has too small a carrying capacity and number of troops. If you want large-scale support, what should you do without the means to transport troops?
This time, the first great display of power was the use of air transport, which was truly a technological victory for most countries in the north that were still marching on foot, assisted by horses, rickshaws, and animal-drawn carts.
However, don't think that this is Abes trying to show off.
In fact, this is simply because the small kingdoms have not yet been unified on land.
No matter which way to go, they first have to pass through Carterburg and the highway, which is long and winding. There is no time at all. If conflicts arise, then Abes's previous "performance" in Carterburg will be in vain.
Moreover, even if we want to use land transportation after unifying the small kingdom of Łomza in the future, we should not take the route of Carterburg and the highway. The first choice is naturally the tunnel railway that cuts through the mountains.
This is not only used for transporting troops and horses. In fact, the continuous mountain range that cuts off the entire territory of the small kingdom of Wommza from the center line will definitely be a big problem that affects transportation and development in the future if a few tunnels are not opened.
"I'll make the arrangements here, and you can take notes on it."
"Use eleven teams plus the artillery teams of the two capitals to strengthen the mountain defense line."
Although the main means of transportation in this world is still by land, just like the griffins in the royal capital were able to fly across the country to deliver news from the king; and the nobles of the level of the Lord of Sludge City were able to raise some Hippogriffs, the lower-level substitutes for griffins, so air strikes over the mountains were not impossible.
"Three, five, seven, eight, nine, these five battalions, join forces with the company that came from Mud City for retraining, and move the troops from Crow Castle to the southern fertile land to help the Sweet Leaf City garrison."
Li Ya Fort directly faces the Eastern Wilds, and in the Eastern Wilds... there are more than just the lizardmen of the Dragon Slaying Tribe.
The soldiers from Crow Castle who were replaced were naturally used to monitor the south - after all, it was a risk to send only a group of instructors to manage a large number of Lizardmen troops.
Before the fruit is ripe, no one knows whether Abes's tolerance towards the Lizardmen will lead to bad consequences.
At present, although those Lizardmen who are not willing to fight have begun to move to other areas, the displaced civilians are also gradually being reorganized and relocated to the fertile land in the south to take over the fields.
But generally speaking, there are still a large number of Lizardmen left in that place, and a small batch of full metal protective armor, a small batch of magic grenades and magic bombs, and even two or three magic cannons and corresponding shells were transported there.
If they really do suddenly go crazy and have a fight, Abes and the others will be fine. There is no generation gap in equipment, and they can fight and win.
However, other forces in the Northern Territory, Eastern Wilderness, and even the forces in Central China might easily suffer.
Once the situation becomes chaotic, it is unknown whether the already troubled small kingdom of Wommza will become even more troubled.
Therefore, this wave of arrangements is not to doubt the surrendered Lizardmen warriors, but more importantly to serve as a big stone to stabilize the entire situation.
The people who have been training in Li Ya Castle for a while have learned how to guard against the alien soldiers coming to suppress the direction of Tianye Town and the fertile land in the south, so as to be absolutely safe.
"Finally, squadrons 12 to 17 will board the White Duck and use the code I gave you to complete the contact with the designated target. Pay attention to maintaining stability in the area."
"After stabilization, we can dispatch two or three brigades to catch up with the people from the first and second brigades to provide support."
"One and two will be the main force and will directly reach my location. We require that the time be compressed to the extreme."
"Repeat it for me."
----------
Commands came out one after another, and with each additional command, a more complicated expression appeared on Soran's face.
Shock, confusion, and a hint of resentment intertwined in his heart.
Although he was impressed by Abes's command ability, the more so, the more he could not suppress his inner suspicion.
After all, General Paddy is also recognized as an excellent commander.
From this point of view, the connection between Qian Chongzhan and General Paddy has been further deepened.
This guy, with all kinds of emotions intertwined and eyes as complicated as a fan-shaped chart, did not know that in the previous arrangement, Abes had quietly arranged "Fort Carter".
"Finally, squadrons 12 to 17 will board the White Duck and use the code I gave you to complete the contact with the designated target. Pay attention to maintaining stability in the area."
The white duck in this order refers to Fort Carter.
Because Carterburg is an important fortress of the same level as Crowburg, and Crowburg is a vicious black crow, then Carterburg, as an important transit station, an important trade and connection center, is actually like a fat white duck.
The code conveyed earlier was naturally referring to the words "The sky is burning" mentioned by Abes to Ivan Root, who sincerely offered all his loyalty, when he left. (Content of Chapter 274)
If Alvin had been sensible, he should have cooperated well and made good contact after hearing the code and witnessing the airborne landing of five squadrons, so that the royal capital could take control of Carterburg again, and then nothing would have happened.
Otherwise, the troops responsible for maintaining stability might accidentally think that he is an unstable factor.
If it was the same atmosphere as before, Abes might have told Soran about this arrangement directly.
After all, Soran also knew that his uncle had made a commission for which he was willing to give everything.
In his heart, he had more or less accepted that Carterburg would belong to Qianchongzhan in the future, but he had not yet linked Qianchongzhan with the Royal Capital.
But now, there are still some conflicts and anger between the two, so it is impossible for Abes to tell him that your uncle's power will be taken over by my people.
As for Abes, what they have to do now is...
"Move to the top of the castle. We need to clear a flat space within 30 minutes and hold on until reinforcements arrive."
