Chapter 184: Sneak Attack
In Mondstadt, in the shop for purchasing horse carriages in the fifth city, Carlo looked with a twitching mouth as he watched No. 1 Ye Li, who was chatting with the boss in front of him and bragging about how amazing the other party's horses were. The original calm and profound Ye Li, who told him the plan in just one sentence and shocked him, collapsed completely like the tower of a lonely king being demolished.
At this time, Dicas, who had come out from the family to find No. 1 Ye Li for something, stood next to Carlo. He could empathize with the expression on the face of the blond leader of the Knights from the small village next to him. The moment they looked at each other, they understood that they were both brothers in distress who had been cheated by this guy, and they both smiled bitterly.
"Hey, my friend, it seems that you have also been fooled by this guy."
"Well, it's not really a lie. The plan he mentioned is indeed feasible. It's just that the money for hiring guards and buying horses might be a little bit more."
Dicas instantly understood what the other party meant, and couldn't help but say helplessly:
"It seems that your situation is similar to mine, just the situation is slightly different, the purpose is different, the process is different, but the final result is the same."
"From what you said, it seems that you gave him all the currency as well."
"Almost. But looking at your knight armor and the wind symbol on it, you should belong to the Knights of Favonius."
"Hey, is the Knights of West Wind Village so famous?"
Ducas was silent for a while. As for how to quickly detect that the other party was a member of the Knights of Favonius, this was actually written in the Knights' branch manual that his great uncle had.
The costumes and emblems of various knightly orders were marked in detail, and even the mural map hanging on the wall in the family had the power distribution map of each knightly order. In order to become a new member of his own Knights of Dawn, he had been frantically catching up on the knowledge of various knightly orders, so it was normal for him to know about the Knights of Favonius.
Just as the two of them fell into a brief silence, No. 1 Ye Li came behind them with a playful smile, patted their shoulders and said:
"Carlo, Ducas, why are you two standing together in silence? But Ducas, you came at the right time, come quickly and help lead the horses and carriage."
No. 1 Ye Li smiled and turned around to lead the horses, leaving the two of them alone looking at each other. Silence was better than words at this time. After all, they sighed at the same time and followed No. 1 Ye Li to help lead the horses and the carriage.
Not long after, the three of them led their horses to a forest outside the Fifth City, where there happened to be an abandoned noble manor. Both its area and buildings could accommodate thousands of people. As for the age of the building, it was actually only ten years old.
This building cost half of the savings that No. 1 Ye Li had accumulated from his business. After all, he was alone and could only do small business. However, since he brought a series of daily necessities including Liyue porcelain and silk cotton-padded clothes, the money he earned was not just one or two copper and silver coins.
Although he has nearly 100 million Mora with him, the currency is not universal. He can only wait until a drunkard poet opens Free Mondstadt to introduce a new monetary system. Only then can he make his unnamed business bigger and stronger and create greater glory.
In order to ensure the efficiency of the operation, No. 1 Ye Li proposed to split the troops into three groups and transport the needed supplies to various locations respectively, so the three of them separated halfway.
Dicas rode a horse, pulling dozens of horses behind him with the rope in his hand, galloping and leading the way.
Until the horses and supplies were placed near the warehouse of the manor, the stables were also next to the warehouse, and the food for the horses had been prepared. It can only be said that the treatment of the horses was much better than that of ordinary horses.
After all, this was something that No. 1 Ye Li funded and had workers build quickly a few days ago. It is top-notch in terms of quality and comfort.
Looking at more than ten horses entering the stable and enjoying themselves while eating grass, Dicas remembered that he had something to find No. 1 Ye Li for, and he almost forgot about it when he was doing things just now.
Without stopping at the stable, Ducas quickly sorted out the affairs there and rushed to the largest six-story house in the center of the majestic building.
Riding at a gallop on his horse, Dicas passed by dozens of slightly smaller houses. These were where the nobles' servants used to live, not far from the nobles' main houses.
When they arrived at the largest house, Dicas parked the horse near the small stable next to the main house. Compared with the stable that Dicas had just arranged, this stable was much smaller, but its quality and hardness were exactly the same as that stable.
There are three horses parked here at the moment, and the third horse was the one moved here by Dicas.
Arriving at the door of the huge house, Dicas subconsciously prepared to knock on the door using aristocratic etiquette, but before he put his hand in front of the door, the door opened, and the person who came into view was the blond young knight leader, Carlo Gunhild, whom he had just met not long ago.
……
The clouds in the sky were penetrated by the sunlight, and the ups and downs of the sea came into view. Countless invisible huge ships had already approached the back of the base camp where Chilong was hiding, while the flying monsters and deep-sea monsters used as a means of exploration did not find anything. Even if a monster collided with a ship, the special formation would squeeze the current feeling, causing physical discomfort and deviation from the direction.
Even if monsters become suspicious of this method and launch a tentative attack, they will be strangled to death in the cradle by the immortals without anyone noticing, and become delicacies in the meal without making any sound. Of course, some disgusting monsters will be excluded, because they will be humanely destroyed without any chance of surviving and reporting back.
Many immortals are capturing monsters one after another that they find strange above the invisible ship. Those that are edible are packed up and taken away, while those that are not edible are eaten up to prevent future troubles and prevent the news from being passed on.
Fanan looked at the immortals who were operating so skillfully in the sky with a somewhat numb expression, then looked at Yingda who was sitting next to her, and asked in a tone that was no longer surprising:
"Yingda, how long have they been doing this to become so proficient? In normal battles, we have never seen the Liyue army use such a display and tactics."
Yingda pondered for a moment, with a puzzled and puzzled look on her face. However, Xiao, who had just finished helping with the tasks above, happened to pass by and overheard their conversation, so he explained:
"This matter is actually not difficult to guess. The main reason is that we have a big information gap. Coupled with the advantage of intelligence and the training of years on the battlefield, we have the ability to cooperate well and fight without any hesitation."
Xiao's cold-faced but warm-hearted explanation made the two girls understand a little bit about Liyue's strength, and immediately some of their worries were put to rest. After all, they were about to go head-on against the Chilong, a creature that even the Dream Demon God didn't dare to deal with head-on, so it was natural to have some worries.
As time went by, nearly 500 ships were already very close to the edge of the sea area of the Chilong base camp. There were more and more countless deep-sea and flying monsters. It was obvious that they would be discovered if they got too close, but this distance was already enough.
As countless artillery fire was directed at the islands in the sea ahead, the muzzles of the large thunder and fire machine guns with the most terrifying firepower on each ship accumulated elemental power, and the two small guns beside them prepared to assist in the subsequent electric shock bloom.
Once more than 500 artillery ships are fired, it will bring serious casualties and destruction to the Chilong base camp, and the location of Chilong will be captured in one fell swoop.
No matter whether the other party runs away or dies, the army he leads will disappear from this world, and no demon god will dare to follow him in the future, because the demon gods and monsters who made this choice have been buried under Liyue's iron cavalry.
