Chapter 508: The division of the trade federation (2)

A middle-aged man in leather armor was walking on the wall with a sharp sword. The weather was still cold, but his forehead was slightly sweaty.
Joseph Lun looked around, looking somber, that he was assassinated after the battle of Cohor, but it was not a big deal. Naturally, in the hands of a special person, there would be many special resources for his original secret plan. Joseph has been preparing for a long time, of course, including the military aspect ... In the past many years, he not only regained control of the Virginia Guard Corps, but also prepared several secret troops.
Therefore, the actual military strength of Virginia is very powerful, otherwise Cohort will not be able to take it overnight. In addition to the 50,000 regular guards that meet federal regulations, Joseph Luen also has his own guard, intelligence System, killer organization, and a rapid reaction force, including a legendary monk, dozens of mage, and elite warriors.
The night was very deep. Looking down from the towering city walls, Cohort City was like a giant lying on its back, sleeping in the darkness, and the streets and streets in the distance loomed a little light, and the armored people overlooked the city. , The wind dragged his dark grey big slowly.
"I heard that when Jon Arthur was alive, he liked to look here and see his own city." Joseph said casually.
"But it's yours now." The bachelor following behind complimented.
"What's new?" Joseph Rune had no expression on his face, and getting the city didn't seem to please him.
"Brought by the Ravens, Tashanmu has left Razor River, and lords have been joining along along the way. They are reorganizing the army at the causeway and are heading for Kohor."
The Marquis turned away, his eyes were cold, his pupils were deep black, like a slowly turning black hole: "Tashanmu's response was as expected, I sent a message to Orsay, asking them to join the coalition. The only way to go-Ambush in Canster Canyon, how do they respond? "
"Well ... they haven't responded for the time being."
"No response, that's refusal." Joseph smiled coldly, "presumably there is no news from the North yet?"
"You mean, the Black Wing Empire intends to abandon us?"
"No."
The marquis in armour shook his head and raised his neck to look out at the deep darkness outside the city: "Pip, do you know what I see? I see the trade federation turned into a gladiatorial field, where the Northern Empire and its opponents will each separate The raised beasts were released from their cages and let them bite and fight. I think Emperor Targaryen would not allow himself one less round. "
Compare us to captive beasts? Piper's hand stretched his neckline tightly: "Sir, I don't understand."
The Marquis bowed his head and did not speak, as if observing his palm prints.
After a long time, he whispered, "The so-called gladiator is just two beasts desperately. This is not unusual in the uninhabited land of Eladia. Why are there so many people screaming and shouting in the arena? Because the two beasts were carefully cultivated, the owner paid a large price to buy the cubs. During the growth of the cubs, there were servants responsible for daily diet, casters to induce blood for them, and animal trainers to provide killing training. The owner has boasted capital, and even the fur teeth are groomed daily. "
"The wrestling of the two beasts is actually a comparison of the financial ability of the masters behind them." Joseph concluded, glanced at the bachelor: "Pip, now do you understand?"
"I see." Piper nodded heavily and sighed, "We are but beasts in captivity, and they are the masters of the highest, so humiliating."
"It's not just us, the Duke of Faun enfa, Grand Duke Orsay of Orsay, the governor of the capital of Nice, Elantra, and even the so-called ruler of the whole territory, who is not the same?" Joseph Lun's voice was distant and his words clear: "If you want to blame, you can only blame the power you have in your hands."
"Oh, Pope, there is something wrong with you." The Marquis said softly, "We are not yet a beast. I think the reason for the Northern Empire's unwillingness to release the signal is to try whether we have become a beast. Qualify. It seems we need to fight this war ourselves. "
The bachelor's throat was dry and his voice was bitter: "Is Vagia alone capable of facing the entire Central Army?"
"Central coalition."
Joseph Ruhn sneered with a sneer: "Tashanmu was stunned by anger, and rushed to Kohor to recover the lost ground. Time was running short, and other city owners may not join him so soon. Now we are They are only facing the forces of Pudaius. "
He was right. Although the trade federation is nominally under the rule of the whole territory, each city owner owns a main city, several castles and more than ten villages. In his territory, they have full autonomy. The rule of power is no different from the king. Even if Tashanmu is the head of the federation, he cannot directly mobilize the forces of other city-states.
Although the current "Allied Forces" are large in number, they only seem to be very powerful. Because there are no other city masters joining in, this legion is not a professional soldier except for the army of the Tashanmu Pudasius city-state. Beside the humble peasants, slaves, and mercenaries, wandering warriors, adventurers and bounty hunters desperate to plunder, they followed Tashanmu's little lords when Putarius issued a rally. Fate.
"Sir, what are you going to do?" The bachelor asked.
"Tashanmu, this idiot, bringing those useless guys will only be self-defeating. Allocate a small amount of troops to leave the defensive Cohor, and we go south along the causeway and cross the ground."
Piper hesitated: "Do you take the initiative?"
Joseph didn't reply, then said: "After crossing the land, the cavalry took a step forward, secretly detouring from the Talda Trade Road to the rear of the coalition, and the infantry continued on the Freedom Avenue from the front."
"You want to split the army and let the cavalry attack Tashanmu's army?" The bachelor frowned, and seemed to disagree with this tactic.
"Peppe, you are my close person, so you should know that we still have a third unit." Joseph Luhn said, "Tashanmu will inevitably lead the army once he knows that I have left Kohor. Combatting our main force, Podius's spies are part of Virginia's army, so he will bet heavy cavalry to ambush our cavalry, and that will be a chance for a poisonous snake. "
"In order for Tashanmu to believe ~ EbookFREE.me ~ we must send all the cavalry to Talda Commercial Road, which is too expensive a bait." The bachelor said uneasily: "Even if you win and fight back from this battle, Tashanmu, when the other main army came, we had no strength to resist them. "
"That's exactly what they want. I guess our allies should arrive when other city-lord forces arrive," the marquis holding the sword was assured.
I'm lying. Joseph whispered in his heart that he wasn't sure whether the ally would arrive, or whether Virginia would have an ally. Everything he said before was based on his speculation and no realistic basis. But these words cannot be said. As the lord and commander, he must always show confidence and confidence, otherwise the Virgin Runner may suddenly fall apart under the huge pressure of the trade federation.
Joseph Lun turned abruptly and walked down the steps of the wall: "Peppe, now convey my order and tell everyone to prepare! Come and see me when everything is ready!"
Emperor Targaryen, the beast in the arena, also has a high or low level.
Choose well.
