Chapter 309: Tiandou Sends Out Troops
Chapter 309: Tiandou Sends Out Troops
Of the three cities in Fullerton Province, all the garrisons have been withdrawn from the two cities close to the Tiandou Empire, and only the city closest to Xingluo still has more than 10,000 people stationed there.
It seems that Dai Tianyu wanted to see whether the Tiandou Empire would take advantage of the chaos to attack Xingluo. If Qian Renxue did not send anyone, then this army of more than 10,000 people would continue to take over the defense of the three border cities after Xingluo City was relieved. If the Tiandou army really attacked, it would not be too late for these troops to retreat.
Ning Bei figured out the details and sneered in his heart. Even at this time, Dai Tianyu was still making plans. He wanted to see how the other party would deal with the beast tide.
After watching hundreds of thousands of Xingluo border guards evacuate the border, Ning Bei flew towards the Fasno Province of the Tiandou Empire, which was the location agreed upon with Qian Renxue to station troops.
With his current speed, the journey of hundreds of kilometers only took him dozens of minutes. Looking at the hundreds of thousands of Tiandou troops stationed outside the city of Nottingham, Ning Bei nodded secretly in his heart.
In the past, the overall quality of the soldiers of the Tiandou Empire was worrying. This was due to the deterrence of the Spirit Hall, which resulted in the two countries of Xingluo and Tiandou not fighting for several years. Qian Renxue had obviously spent a lot of effort in these two years.
At least Ningbei could not see any signs of weakness in this group of troops. Instead, they were full of a solemn and murderous atmosphere, and they had obviously undergone arduous training.
Ning Bei used his mental power to investigate the situation inside the main tent, then raised his brows slightly, because there were actually quite a few old acquaintances inside.
"That's good. I don't have to waste time proving my identity."
Then, Ning Bei quickly flashed into the main tent, scaring the people who were discussing military affairs inside.
"Who?"
The person who shouted angrily was none other than Meng Shenji, the head of the three teaching committees of Tiandou Royal Academy, an 86th-level Soul Douluo whose martial soul was the Black Demon. He was born in the Spirit Hall. It seemed that after Qian Renxue had secured the throne, she also won over this teaching committee member, and now he was in charge here as the commander-in-chief of the Tiandou army.
Behind the Meng Shen machine there is an old acquaintance of Ning Bei, the Snake Spear Douluo among the two generals Heng and Ha, who is also known as the titled goalkeeper. It seems that Qian Renxue sent him here just in case.
"It's me, don't be nervous."
Seeing Ning Bei's face clearly, several generals in the tent breathed a sigh of relief, and Snake Spear Douluo was even more delighted. He was the one among these people who knew the specific details of this operation best. Now that Ning Bei appeared here, it meant that everything was ready and they could proceed to the next plan.
Ning Bei actually had never dealt with Meng Shenji. He only met him briefly at the coronation ceremony. However, since the other party could serve as the commander-in-chief of this operation, Qian Renxue must have told him a lot of inside information.
"Meng Shenji has met Master Ning."
Looking at the prematurely gray-haired Meng Shenji, he clasped his fists and bowed respectfully. Although the generals around him didn't know Ning Bei very well, they understood that he was a powerful person, and they all followed Meng Shenji's footsteps.
Ning Bei waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for so much formality.
"I don't have an official position or title in Tiandou, so you don't have to do this. I think you all understand the purpose of my visit this time."
"That's right. His Majesty has ordered us to wait here for Master Ning's arrival, and has also instructed us to follow Master Ning's orders in everything that follows."
Ning Bei nodded. This saved a lot of trouble and didn't require any more words.
"Okay, I don't have anything to command you, and I don't know much about military affairs."
"I am here to tell you two pieces of information. First, Xingluo City has been besieged by tens of thousands of soul beasts. They are unable to support the border war."
"Secondly, the garrisons of the three border cities near Tiandou have all returned to Xingluo City for defense. Only the one near Xingluo has more than 10,000 people left to deal with emergencies."
"As for the rest, I believe you should be able to solve them on your own after you get the information, right?"
After saying that, Ning Bei looked directly at Meng Shenji, waiting for his answer.
Meng Shenji had no doubt about Ning Bei's news. After all, his Majesty had already ordered everyone to obey the person in front of them.
"Master Ning, I understand. I will organize the army to launch an offensive against the three border cities right now, and I will make further arrangements after we capture the three cities."
"Well, you can arrange it yourself." Ning Bei then gave Snake Spear a look and disappeared into the tent.
A few minutes later, in a remote forest near Notting City, Snake Spear Douluo slowly came to Ning Bei.
"Mr. Ning!"
"Did Xue'er only send these troops? These people are enough to capture the three border cities, but it is obviously not enough to expand the victory, even if Dai Tianyu is too busy to split himself."
Hearing this, She Lancer was not surprised, as if he had known that he would ask this question.
"Master Ning, this is the maximum number of troops that the young master can mobilize now. The other major kingdoms and principalities will not send more troops to help the young master take over Xingluo unless they see results."
"after all."
After all, in the eyes of those old foxes, Xue Qinghe is still a young boy who is still wet behind the ears. How could they put all their wealth on him just because the other party has been a wise emperor in the past two years?
Ning Bei understood what Snake Spear had not finished saying, and immediately understood the crux of the matter. He snorted coldly and said:
"Humph, if you don't trust Xue'er now, then don't hesitate to ask for your hand when the time comes to divide the spoils of war. Otherwise, I don't mind spending some time to abolish this feudal system."
When Ning Bei spoke, the temperature of the entire space dropped a lot, making She Lan feel a chill rising on his back and swallowing saliva unconsciously.
This young boy who he could easily control ten years ago has now grown into someone he needs to look up to.
"Master Ning, the young master has reached an agreement with the royal families of several major kingdoms and principalities. If we can quickly capture the border cities, they will continue to send more troops to support the young master's attack on the inland of Xingluo."
"That's pretty much it."
As the temperature around him warmed up, Snake Spear secretly breathed a sigh of relief and complained in his heart:
"Why are you taking your anger out on me, a vanguard?"
"Okay, when the army sets out, you can follow them. If you encounter a strong enemy in the inland of Xingluo, you can also fight."
"Yes, Mr. Ning."
If he was respectful to Ning Bei in the past because of Qian Renxue's existence, now it was because Ning Bei himself was strong. Shemao had no objection to his orders.
It took a long time to assemble the troops and mobilize before the war. Ning Bei came to inform us of the news in the early morning, and now it was already noon when the army was about to set out.
Following an order from Meng Shenji, who was at the front of the team, hundreds of thousands of troops rushed towards the three border cities in a mighty manner.
The spies arranged by Xingluo in advance also quickly delivered the news back to the border guards.
The Xingluo defender looked at the news of Tiandou's dispatch of troops, sighed, and looked at the generals who took action.
"Retreat! Tiandou soldiers have sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers to the three cities."
The generals had no objection. The order they received was that there was no need to resist the Tiandou army, and they should retreat if the other side came.
Then, they can join forces with the defenders of Panshi City in the rear to guard the border together.
