Chapter 1093

"Hasn't that fool Palmer made a decision yet?"

Henry, who was in the middle army, knocked his legs across and gently shook a glass of sweet red wine. The color like blood made him very intoxicated. He took a sip. After intoxicating for a long time, he drank up the red wine in the glass and smashed his mouth: "HMM... sure enough, I still can't learn their elegance. I don't know what's good to drink. Sure enough, thunder beer brewed by dwarves is more in line with my taste."

"General, the gate hasn't been opened yet, but... We found many more people on the wall. I'm afraid Palmer has forcibly recruited all the men."

"Hum, what if those people are forcibly recruited? Does that fool really think that just a steel gate can stop our grace soldiers? It's too naive. Once the city is broken, everyone will be the souls of our grace soldiers under the sword!"

Henry wiped the wine on his cloak, then put on his helmet, opened his tent and went out. He looked at the city gate not far ahead and sneered: "I just don't want to waste my energy. Opening the city gate and offering food and treasure may also leave a way for them to live. Since they are so stubborn, give them some color to see."

Henry's face flashed a cold smile: "now Sila must be full of refugees. Send orders and the archers are ready to shoot! I think a round of arrow rain may change Palmer's old man's mind?"

Siege, ready to go!

"Archer ready -"

Just when Henry was going to let King Palmer know his mistake with a round of arrow rain, a fast horse rushed from the flank.

The cavalry on horseback shouted, "General Henry! Military emergency!"

The raised sword was slowly put down. He stared at the approaching cavalry: "report the situation."

"Our team was sweeping the village in the East, but suddenly found that the strange army was moving this way! They were very fast! And very strange!"

"The army from the east?"

Henry frowned, "isn't it the army of the Ilus Empire? They really came to support the Principality of Syrah?"

"From the outside flag, it is indeed the army of the Ilus Empire, but..."

The cavalry's expression was very strange: "that army is really strange. There are not many soldiers to see, but it drives a large number of steel puppets! It is suspected that a large number of soldiers hide in the steel puppets!"

"Steel puppet!?"

Henry's face changed: "are you sure it's an iron puppet?! that kind of war machine made by Alchemy!?"

"I'm not sure, but..."

The cavalry said helplessly, "that thing is really made of steel, and it's very fast. I don't know how much faster it is than the war horse, and it's no big deal to climb mountains and mountains. We saw with our own eyes that the steel puppet rushed directly into the forest and then hit a road!"

"Hiss!"

Henry took a breath of air-conditioning and his heart turned quickly. "How long will they be here?"

The cavalry looked bitter: "our activities in the East villages and towns slowed down their progress, but I'm afraid... No more than twenty minutes."

"Estimate how many people there are in each other? Is there an apocalypse?"

"No, but the scale of the team is very large, even comparable to our army. As for the Apocalypse... We haven't fought with each other, so we can't know."

"Ten thousand people..."

Henry's expression was quite strange: "the Ilus Empire would send 10000 soldiers to support a principality... It seems that we all underestimate Donne's determination. He really wants to protect his reputation."

Originally, the kingdom of grace invaded Sila and plundered Sila, which had been agreed with solant. Moreover, the Principality of Sila was just an unlucky principality, which was originally used as a buffer zone, and the two sides did not affect each other.

Although solant has now been recovered by the ilrus Empire, the tacit understanding with solant should not change. After all, the Principality of Sila is just a buffer zone.

However, Donne of the ilrus Empire, I'm afraid, is a regent who cherishes his reputation very much. He doesn't hesitate to send 10000 troops to support the Principality of Syrah

Hum.

Ten thousand to ten thousand, it looks like a close match, but what's the real situation?

Henry sneered. There were only 10000 people. What if there were steel puppets? We Grice soldiers can fight ten!

Henry began to calculate in his mind. This time, among the 10000 troops he led, in addition to 8000 ordinary soldiers, 2000 of them were apocalypses. Among the 2000 apocalypses, there were 1500 black iron level apocalypses, 450 silver level apocalypses and 50 gold level apocalypses, and he himself was an expert at the peak of the grand master level.

Such a powerful army, even looking at the whole prandal, is absolutely uncommon.

Besides, even ordinary soldiers, grace people have to undergo cruel training since childhood. They are strong and have amazing combat effectiveness. Compared with Ilus people, it's no exaggeration to fight ten of them!

We have an advantage in individual combat capability!

On their own side, in addition to the food and grass returned to the kingdom of grace, they have accumulated a lot of food and grass in the rear by looting the Principality of Sila these days. Supply is not a problem at all. Even if there is a shortage, they can also get supplies by attacking separately and looting other villages.

On the other hand, the troops of the ilrus Empire traveled a long way to support, and the food and grass consumed by 10000 troops were not a small number, but they came to support. It was impossible for them to replenish food and grass by looting, and they surrounded Sila City, and they could not get supplies from Sila City, which meant that they would be weaker and weaker.

In terms of supply, we have an advantage!

Look at the weather. It's the last ten days of the sleeping month. The temperature has dropped further and it's very cold.

However, compared with the cruel kingdom of grace, the climate is gentle and makes people want to doze off, which will not affect the combat effectiveness at all.

But the ilrus empire is located in the eastern plain area. The ordinary climate is warm. Their cold resistance is certainly not as good as their own side, which means that their combat ability will be seriously affected by the climate and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

In terms of environment, our own side also has an advantage!

No matter how compared, the three have accounted for the second. Tell me how to lose this battle?

The only destabilizing factor is the other party's iron puppet.

However, as far as Henry knows, the activity ability of the steel puppet will also be affected by the temperature. The colder the temperature, the worse the activity ability of the steel puppet. Even the steel puppet can't play much combat effectiveness under the current temperature.

Moreover, if a conservative strategy is adopted to fight a war of attrition, the other party will lose supplies. Even if there are steel puppets, they will eventually become just an iron box to imprison them. Don't care at all.

The only uncertainty is the number of apocalypses in each other's army

According to past experience, most of the apocalypses of the ilrus empire are used to being adventurers or mercenaries, and few people are willing to join the army. This is different from the kingdom of grace. Once the citizens of the kingdom of grace wake up and become apocalypses, the first choice is to join the army and contribute their strength to his majesty Stanley. Therefore, in the army of the kingdom of grace, The proportion of apocalypse is extremely high.

Henry is at least 80% sure that the number of their apocalypses must be more than this reinforcements!

Do you want to call?

Your victory rate is very high. If you completely annihilate this reinforcement, it will certainly cause huge losses to the Ilus empire. Maybe your majesty will take this opportunity to directly launch a war and unify the Ilus empire

Henry didn't say a word. After a moment of meditation, he suddenly woke up and scolded confused.

What are they out for this time?

It's to rob the kingdom of grace of money and food!

Now his majesty Stanley's plan is at a critical moment. He is not interested in anything else!

In other words, he doesn't have to fight this reinforcements at all!

Will the reinforcements reach Syrah at the latest twenty minutes?

Henry quickly made a decision and decisively ordered: "send orders! Start attacking the city immediately! Be sure to take the city gate within two minutes. We still have ten minutes to grab the food and grass as soon as possible, and then withdraw immediately!"

He decided to take a risk and make a time difference with the other party. He had a time of 20 minutes, leaving a margin of 10 minutes. Two minutes was more than enough to attack the city, and the remaining eight minutes was enough to loot Sila and evacuate from here.

Even if the reinforcements found their evacuation route, Henry did not worry that they would catch up. Since they were reinforcements, their primary goal was to support and protect Syrah. No commander would be stupid enough to continue to pursue each other and waste his soldiers in order to support a principality.

If so, he must be the stupidest commander in the world.

Henry's order was immediately conveyed. After receiving the instruction, the archers who were already ready to go immediately took the arrow and started the first round of shooting!

The dense rain of arrows roared up into the sky, crossed the city wall and fell into Sila——

"What a pity!"

Henry sighed. Because it was a looting mission, he didn't carry siege weapons such as stone catapults. Otherwise, just this round of attack would be almost enough to destroy Sila.

After all, the small principality of Sila has no magicians stationed here, and there are no too famous strong men. It's just an insignificant principality.

Henry had even closed his eyes and ears, waiting to hear the beautiful sound from Syrah after the arrow rain fell.

"Ah!!!"

The scream came as expected, and Henry smiled, but suddenly the smile stiffened in his face.

Why are these screams so close?

Besides, why do these sounds sound so familiar?

“……！！！”

When Henry opened his eyes, he suddenly stayed there, followed by a breath of air conditioning, lost his voice and exclaimed, "what's the matter?"
