Alien King

Chapter 367 Preparations before the war
But hate turns to hate, after all, what Ye Tian cares most about is the movement of the Eka people.

She gestured to Bi Ling, and Bi Ling waved her hand to erase the image in mid-air, and with a swipe of her slender hand again, a huge lens appeared in mid-air in front of Ye Tian.

It was a high-magnification telescope. Through this telescope, Ye Tian could clearly see the rolling tents of the Eka people one mile away.

At this moment, Ye Tian's clothes were rattled by the strong wind above Tianyangguan City.Ye Tian kept adjusting the telescope, carefully observing the movements of the Eka people.

At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly discovered that a convoy of Eka people was slowly driving near the rolling camp.There were at least a dozen carriages in the convoy. After they stopped near the camp, dozens of Eka people got on the carriages and unloaded piles of green weeds from the carriages.

As a high-level pharmacist, Ye Tian could tell the appearance of those weeds at a glance. They were nothing but spirit-returning grass.

The Eka people had prepared so many spirit-returning herbs, which made Ye Tian's heart skip a beat.

The main function of the spirit-returning grass is to continue the consumption of mana in a short period of time, making the mage release magic more frequently and more times.

Although it is only a third-level medicinal material, it is much worse than those high-level medicines made by Ye Tian, ​​but so many spirit-returning grasses can play a role in the Eka magic spirit mage group and the magician group after all. Certainly works.

Thinking of this, Ye Tian was startled, Mo Ran raised his head, could it be that the Eka people's logistics and food are all in place, and they are making the final pre-war preparations at this time?

Lowering his head again, Ye Tian continued to observe through the telescope.

At this time, many Eka people walked out of the large rolling camp tent one after another, and after reaching around the piles of Huiling grass, they slowly formed several square formations with each other.

Ye Tian looked at these people carefully.

The clothes and attires worn by these soldiers are exactly the same as those of the Eka Demon Sorcerers who followed the Eka Mission to the capital to show off their power. Presumably, this is the main force of the Eka Demon Sorcerers who shocked the north. .

Ye Tian smacked his mouth, this time he only saw the group of magic wizards, but the more powerful group of magic wizards has not seen the shadow yet, nor is it hiding somewhere.

At this time, Ye Tian found that more and more soldiers came out of the camp, and the phalanx formed reached a full ten.Immediately afterwards, the person who looked like a logistics officer began to distribute spirit herbs to each soldier in order.

Ye Tian was startled again, and carefully observed the fineness of those Huilingcao.Obviously, judging from the degree of separation of the branches, this batch of Huiling grass was picked just this morning.

But the effect of the spirit-returning grass can only last for two days and one night, that is to say, until tomorrow night at most, the spirit-returning grass will lose its effect, and it will no longer have the effect of making up for mana consumption in a short period of time.

Ye Tian raised his head, looked gloomy, looked at the sky that was almost dusk, and murmured: "That means that the attack time of the Eka Demon Magician Group will be tomorrow night at the latest." Before. Judging from the practice of the Russian military command, a wave of attacks usually lasts for a day, so it is very likely that tomorrow morning, the Russians will launch their first battle against the Tiangong Empire."

After finishing speaking, Ye Tian gritted his teeth, turned around, walked down the steps behind him, and quickly walked down the steps, saying, "Notify Li Chengtian immediately, saying that the governor of Liaodong has arrived at Tianyang Pass. Let him Bring all the soldiers of the Tianyang Legion and gather under the city wall of Tianyang Pass within a quarter of an hour. Tell him that if he is a little late, I will punish him by military law."

Behind her, Bi Ling nodded, and with a wave of her hand, a huge royal dragon bird suddenly appeared, flapping its wings and flying towards the Tianyangguan Market one mile away.

Seeing the appearance of the Royal Dragon Bird, Ye Tian was slightly taken aback, then looked at Bi Ling, stared and said: "I said, is this suitable? The Royal Dragon Bird is used temporarily when the emperor sends urgent orders or military information." of."

Bi Ling gave Ye Tian a white look, and said: "Aren't you from the royal family? Besides, I want to use a gold-winged snow sculpture to pass orders to Li Chengtian, and he dares to eat my snow sculpture. No royal dragon Bird, how could it be possible to restrain a border general."

Hearing Bi Ling's words, Ye Tian stared, then nodded again, thinking that it was true, so he didn't say another word.

Then, Ye Tian stood on the vast training ground under the city wall of Tianyang Pass, with a gloomy face, staring straight at the path leading to the market about a mile away.

Thinking about the appearance of the Royal Dragon Bird, it is quite deterrent.A quarter of an hour later, a small group of soldiers first appeared at the end of the path, trotting to the training ground.A man who looked like a captain first ordered the soldiers to line up in two columns, and then came to Ye Tian, ​​with a cautious expression on his face, and said: "I am ordered by the head of the Tianyang Legion to meet the governor."

Ye Tian snorted, and said: "It's already quarter of an hour, and he sent a few people like you? I think Li Chengtian doesn't want to live anymore."

This sentence was so domineering that it shocked the little captain.

The team leader bowed and said, "Your Excellency, please calm down. I heard that you have arrived at Tianyang Pass. General Li is taking a bath and changing clothes. He said he will arrive in half an hour."

Ye Tian snorted again, and said: "The Eka people are about to attack immediately, he still has time to shower and change clothes."

Speaking of this, Ye Tian let out a long breath, and continued: "Forget it, I'll wait for him here, and see when he can finish bathing and changing clothes."

Another quarter of an hour later, the sound of horseshoes finally came from the end of the path.

A general in silver-white armor, riding a tall horse, with hundreds of soldiers behind him, rushed to the training ground at lightning speed.

Behind those personal soldiers, large troops lined up in more than a dozen square formations also came to the training ground one after another in order.Each phalanx has a full 1 people, and such a [-]-strong army fills up the originally vast training ground.

Judging from the clothes and handsome flags of these troops, it is the Tianyang Army.

At this time, Li Chengtian got off his horse, with a fake smile on his face, came to Ye Tian, ​​clasped his fists and said: "I don't know that the Governor-General arrived at Tianyang Pass in advance, and the general will be late to greet you. I hope the Governor-General Forgive me."

Squinting, staring at Li Chengtian, Ye Tian didn't speak for a while, just staring at Li Chengtian all the time.After dozens of breaths, Li Chengtian's complexion became more and more ugly.

In all fairness, as a border guard, it's fine if he didn't get the whereabouts and movements of the new governor in advance, but after the new governor issued an order to assemble the troops of the Tianyang Army within a quarter of an hour, Li Chengtian not only sent a small When the team came to report, he himself was even more late, which was a bit unreasonable.

That is to say, Ye Tian's belly is a bit bigger, and whoever he changes would be equivalent to being slapped abruptly.

Another half an hour later, a trace of sweat finally appeared on Li Chengtian's forehead.

At this time, Ye Tian took a breath, and said slowly: "Order your troops to deploy the Tianyang Pass immediately, check all the weapons and equipment at the same time, string the bows and arrows, prepare the catapult, aim the machine crossbow, and closely monitor Russia. All the actions of the Ka people, once the Eka people attack, immediately counterattack."

Hearing Ye Tian's words, Li Chengtian swallowed, raised his head, and looked at Ye Tian.

Frowning, Ye Tian said: "What? Is it true that I, the governor of Liaodong, will not work in Tianyangguan today? Li Chengtian, believe it or not, if you refuse to obey orders, I will directly use it in the name of fear of war." , put you to death here."

After thinking for a while, Li Chengtian said: "Your Excellency, it's not that the last general didn't obey the order, but these soldiers are all soldiers who have been stationed at Tianyang Pass for many years and repelled the attacks of the Eka people time and time again. However, This time, it's completely different."

Ye Tian was startled, and asked sharply: "There are still Eka people outside the pass, what's the difference?"

Li Chengtian said: "Before this, it was the ordinary Eka army that attacked Tianyang Pass. The soldiers here often dealt with the Eka people, and there were casualties in every battle. But this time, the soldiers stationed outside the pass , it’s the Eka Demon Sorcerer Squad and the Sorcerer Sorcerer Squad, and our soldiers.”

Speaking of this, Li Chengtian turned his head, glanced at the soldiers of the Tianyang Legion who had already formed ten square formations, and then continued: "They are all ordinary people, and the highest-level soldiers are only intermediate-level magicians and intermediate-level soldiers." Holy fighters, compared to the Eka people outside the customs, the difference is not 01:30 points."

Li Chengtian stared at Ye Tian, ​​and continued: "Even if they all go to the top of the city and use the best weapons and equipment, they will only be used as living targets for the Erka people. The lives of these soldiers are also their lives. If I force them to serve as cannon fodder when I have achieved the slightest result, it will not chill the hearts of these soldiers."

Hearing Li Chengtian's words, Ye Tian froze on the spot and didn't speak for a long time.

In all honesty, Li Chengtian's words are true, without any hypocrisy.A group of magicians can deal with a group of ordinary soldiers without breaking a sweat.

Just now, Ye Tian just saw Li Chengtian and the soldiers of the Tianyang Legion under his jurisdiction, passive and slack, not taking precautions, and they were all having fun in the market. In a moment of panic, he ordered Li Chengtian to deploy the city immediately However, they did not consider that even if all the soldiers were on defense, these soldiers would have no power to fight back against [-] magicians, and could only sacrifice in vain.

Thinking of this, Ye Tian raised his head and looked at the soldiers lined up in ten square formations in front of him.There was indifference and sadness on the faces of these soldiers.

For a moment, Ye Tian felt the same way. He had no ability to resist the invasion even though the enemy was outside. As a soldier, his dignity had been hurt.

Perhaps, they were having fun, just trying to numb themselves.

After taking a long breath, Ye Tian slowly said: "Forget it, Li Chengtian, tonight you arrange all the soldiers of the Tianyang Army to evacuate the people in the market. I guess the Eka people will launch an attack tomorrow. All soldiers stay behind the walls and are not allowed to go up to the top of the walls without orders."

Speaking of this, Ye Tian paused for a while, and after a little thought, he raised his head again, looked at Li Chengtian, and continued: "Give every soldier the best shields and armors. Tonight, build bunkers within the city walls overnight. Be sure to Make sure that every one of our soldiers can effectively protect themselves when the Eka people attack tomorrow."

After speaking, Ye Tian waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about the rest."

Hearing Ye Tian's words, Li Chengtian was slightly taken aback.

Taking the initiative to withdraw the defense of Tianyang Pass, using the reason of not wanting the soldiers to be the cannon fodder of the Eka people, the original purpose was actually Wu Anbang's special instructions to let Li Chengtian try not to cooperate with Ye Tian's command.
