, The strange game of the ancient god

Manuk climbed up from the ground in a daze, surrounded by the burning king's tent and the corpses of guards everywhere. "What the hell is going on?" he asked angrily and panic.

The leader said calmly: "This is what I said, the weapons used by those demonic armies, now you know what kind of enemies we are facing, Your Majesty."

Manuk was still in shock, and was a little angry, feeling like he was slapped in the face, but he was the true nature of a hero and soon stabilized his emotions.

He asked in a deep voice: "Will they come back?"

"It shouldn't be. According to the revelation given to us by the goddess, there are only four iron birds in the enemy's hands. Now three are dead, and the remaining one is no longer a problem. However, the enemy has many other weapons, and it is not possible to launch an attack in other ways. It seems that they should know that Your Majesty is the leader of this army. As long as you get rid of Your Majesty, you can make this army lose command and have no strength to fight them."

Manuk's face was gloomy and gloomy. He hadn't taken this matter too seriously yet, and he thought it must be an exaggeration. Any evil army was ridiculous, but this air strike broke his idea, "Call the governors and priests immediately, we are about to start a war!"

Soon the governors and priests rushed over. They had already learned about what had happened from various channels, but they were still shocked when they saw the king's tent was messy. The enemy actually had a way to attack from the air, which was beyond imagination.

The military conference was held again, on the burned tent.

Manuk did not choose to change places, he wanted the governors and priests to see the threat from the enemy.

"There is no doubt that this evil enemy has become our greatest threat at present. They have terrible weapons. Their sneak attack is a challenge to the dark empire and a blasphemy to the goddess' majesty. We must deal with them with all our might. I must apologize to you first. When you warn me, I did not realize the seriousness of the matter."

As soon as Manuk came up, he first gave a self-examination, and his true expression seemed to have awakened.

The leader nodded without comment. The other players also had a mysterious expression. Several people had already discussed it before. After being attacked by the air raid, Manuk would definitely ask for advice from several people. This would have to be tense, and at least he would have some benefits.

"For such enemies, we must do our best to deal with them, but we do not know much about these enemies. Do you have any suggestions?"

The leader smiled slightly. "In fact, I do have a strategy. Since Your Majesty asked, I will just talk about it casually."

"Although the enemy is only five hundred, it has very terrifying weapons. You have seen the scenes around you. These iron birds are just one of them. Their weapons can kill hundreds of soldiers in an instant. If they face each other head-on, it will be very difficult. Even a hundred thousand troops may not win."

As soon as he said this, everyone present disagreed. Although the enemy's weapons were indeed sharp, it would be a bit unimaginable to say that a 100,000 army could not defeat 500 people.

But no one dares to question it, after all, there are ready-made examples.

"But the enemy also has a fatal flaw, that is, the number of enemies is too small, so it is still very threatening to join together, but once it is dispersed, it is easy to be surrounded and killed, so the enemy will definitely not dare to divide the troops easily, and this is our biggest advantage.

We have an army of 100,000, and we can fully deploy the entire venue.

First of all, I hope to send an army immediately to sneak into the holy city. It doesn’t take too many, just one or two thousand people. The important thing is to be loyal and reliable, and dedicate. This is the key to this plan.

The enemy's weapons can shoot the enemy at a long distance, but once they enter the city, their threat will be greatly reduced. Moreover, there are many civilians in Kale City, and the enemy will inevitably be unable to kill everyone. According to the goddess' revelation, their goal is to seize the core of the Holy Spirit, so they must enter the city. Our dead soldiers can disguise themselves as civilians, find opportunities to approach them, and suddenly launch an attack, or poison food and drinking water, or assassinate at night, or secretly destroy their weapons. As long as the enemy enters the city, it is equivalent to falling into our trap.

To ensure concealment, this unit is best to be dispatched tonight.

This unit can not only serve as an ambush, but also position the Holy Spirit core in advance, and find ways to figure out how to destroy the Holy Spirit core. The Holy Spirit core is a magical artifact that the goddess is particularly concerned about. My companions will personally lead this team."

Manuk nodded and said that there is no problem. It is only thousands of people, not a big problem. It is also possible to clear out some crazy believers of the dark goddess in the army. Otherwise, it would be a hidden danger if they turn against the priests.

"Secondly, as far as I know, there are four independent city-states around the Holy City, Kurland, Tula, Hakan, and Aaron City. In addition, there are many villages and towns. Your Majesty should send four partial troops to conquer these city-states and villages, recruit laborers and strengthen our army."

Before Manuk could speak, a general stood up and said, "The several envoys knew that there were only farmers, merchants and craftsmen in these city-states and villages, and there were no heroic warriors. Conquering them might be able to plunder some property, but it was of no use to the current situation of war except wasting troops."

The leader shook his head, "No, it's very useful. The projectiles fired by the enemy's weapons can easily shoot through armor and destroy flesh and blood. In front of the weapons of those demons, there is no essential difference between a knight and a farmer. As long as you can't get close to the enemy, everyone is just cannon fodder.

It is very useful to recruit people from these places, whether used as craftsmen, or to attract firepower and consume enemy weapons.

At the same time, doing so can limit the enemy's strategic space. Although the enemy only has five hundred, it is difficult to say whether they will obtain manpower from these city-states. If we occupy these city-states in advance, we can allow the enemy to obtain resources through transactions."

This move was really a bit vicious, which made civilians rush forward as cannon fodder. Although Manuk had done it before, he was still the leader of a mercenary at that time and was only used on a small scale. Since he became the Dark King and had a strong standard, his army became stronger and stronger. The enemies he encountered were often defeated at the touch and never used it again.

When I heard about the large-scale cannon fodder, I was suddenly embarrassed, "This kind of thing sounds immoral."

The leader smiled slightly: "They will not die in vain. They will die for the great cause of the goddess. Even if they die, they will be reborn in the eternal quiet place and enjoy eternal peace. This is their blessing."

Manuk frowned slightly. Why did this man's tone look so similar to those priests?

He nodded slightly: "Okay, it shouldn't take much force to conquer these city-states, I will send someone."

The leader continued: "The third step, and the most important point, Your Majesty should immediately lead the army to the Holy City and establish a line of defense around the Holy City.

Although the enemy's weapons are powerful and have a long range, they are not invincible. As long as there are solid city walls or deep trenches, the lethality of these weapons can be offset to the greatest extent.

If our soldiers hide in the trench, the enemy must approach to fight, and then our archers and crossbowmen can fight back.

We have an army of 100,000. If we start construction together, we can quickly turn the Holy City into an invincible fortress.

In addition, I also need the cooperation of the baggage troops to create some brand new weapons to fight against the enemy's weapons."

Manuk was a little hesitant when he heard this. It was a bit embarrassing to fight a defensive battle with 100,000 people against 500 people. He also had to dig a hole and dig a trenches to hide inside. This kind of thing was unprecedented. Where could he put the name of the Dark King when it was heard? Just as Manuk was hesitating.

A guard rushed in.

"Your Majesty, some knights under Lord Yumong De have returned, and they say there is important information to report to His Majesty."

What! Come back so soon? Manuk has been worried about Yumeng Gund's army since he was air strike. Now he heard that someone has come back and hurriedly let him come in to report.

The person who came back was the young knight, and two knights who were walking with him.

As soon as the three of them entered the door, they knelt on one knee and were ambushed and suffered heavy losses. Yumeng Gangde was also killed in battle, and the battle process was revealed.

After listening to the reports of these knights, Manuk couldn't help but become more and more shocked. The strength of these enemies was so powerful that the five thousand cavalry were defeated so confused.

"How many enemies have you encountered? Tell me the truth."

A knight who lost his helmet said in fear: "There are countless enemies, thousands."

Another older knight in the grade shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the gathering is too far away, and I have not been able to observe the number of enemies clearly."

The young knight gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, the enemy has only a dozen chariots, no more than one hundred."

Manuk glanced at the three of them and had already realized something.

"I understand, you three go down and remember not to talk nonsense."
