Chapter 56 The war is coming
"Did you find anything useful to you?" Luo Lisi came over and asked.
"You can't find anything even if you wear iron shoes, it takes no effort to get here!" Enzo said casually in a good mood.
Luo Lisi was stunned for a moment and blinked in confusion.
As the main material of the sky potion, the Sky Tree Fruit is what Enzo has been looking for. As long as he has it, Enzo will have the opportunity to refine the sky potion and help O'Quinn, who is already at the peak of the Great Knight, break through the realm.
"I don't know what the use of this thing is." Luo Lisi shrugged and said with a wink, "But since you need it, just take it."
Enzo nodded slightly, without any politeness, and put the Sky Tree Fruit into his arms.
Afterwards, the two wandered around the Iron Bank for a while, and then left the underground space.
"Uncle Harris, how many troops are there currently in the Golden City?" In the castle study, three figures sat around a round table, and Luo Lisi looked at Harris and asked.
"After the war against Black Crow City and Rodri's rebellion, the current military strength of Golden City is about 7,000 people." Harris thought with his eyes and said, "Of these 7,000 people, there are a total of 5,000 city defense troops." people, and the other 2,000 are light rangers equipped with war horses."
"Are there only 7,000 people left?" Luo Lisi's eyes dimmed. In her memory, the Golden City had more than 20,000 troops in its heyday.
"Don't worry, Luo Lisi." Enzo comforted him and said, "I have ordered the hungry wolf to go to the Blood Wilderness. He will be able to bring his gang back within three days, and then they can be incorporated into the army with a little training."
"But is Hungry Wolf really trustworthy?" Luo Lisi hesitated slightly, with worry in her eyes.
"Don't worry, there is no need to consider this." Enzo said confidently, "I have planted a curse on the hungry wolf. Life and death depend on my thoughts. He will not make fun of his own life."
"That's good." Luo Lisi nodded with some relief.
"With the 7,000 defenders in the city, plus the great knight Hungry Wolf, and his bandits, this strength should be enough to defend the Golden City." Harris looked solemn, paused, and said in a deep voice: "Now Philip has captured the giant city. After the Black Crow Army recuperates for a period of time between Lang City and Iron Horn City, he will definitely start a war again, so I plan to go to Eagle Grassland tomorrow and hire the 'Iron Cross Mercenary Group' to help out!"
"Iron Cross Mercenary Group?" Enzo raised his eyebrows, as if he had heard of this name.
"Yes, the Iron Cross Mercenary Group!" Harris nodded slightly and said, "That is a famous mercenary group on the Eagle Grassland. Not only does it have three great knights as leaders, but it also has a heavy cavalry group under its command. The combat effectiveness is very strong.”
"Our current military strength is very different from that of Philip's Black Crow Army. Only by hiring a powerful mercenary group can we increase our hope of victory!"
"In that case, there is Uncle Lauharius." Luo Lisi agreed with her eyes and said solemnly.
Enzo's eyes flickered and he made no objection.
As Harris said, hiring a mercenary group to fight can indeed enhance the strength of the Golden City and Kaiyuan City Alliance, but in fact, the outcome of this world war is often determined by the combat power of the top leaders of both parties.
From Enzo's point of view, the key to winning or losing this war depends on whether he can defeat the Sky Knight Philip.
It gets darker and night falls.
When Enzo left the Golden City and returned to Kaiyuan City, it was already evening.
"Father hasn't woken up yet?" Enzo met Tyron in the castle study.
"No." Tai Lun shook his head, looking worried, and said, "Brother O'Quinn was seriously injured this time. The sword wound Phillip left on his chest almost hurt his heart. It was enough to save his life." It’s a miracle, as for when he will wake up, we can only leave it to fate.”
Enzo frowned slightly and sighed slightly in his heart.
"By the way, how are things going in the Golden City?" Tai Lun raised his head and asked.
"Everything went well!" Enzo nodded slightly and said solemnly, "Rhodri has been killed by me, and his forces have been taken over by Luo Lisi. After the ceremony to succeed the city lord, Luo LiSi took me to open the iron gold vault."
"Oh? The Iron Bank is open?" Tai Lun's eyes brightened slightly.
"Well, yes. There is indeed a lot of wealth there. Harris is preparing to contact Eagle Grassland and hire the 'Iron Cross Mercenary Group' to fight with Kaiyuan to fight against Philip." Enzo said.
"Iron Cross Mercenary Group? That's great." Tai Lun was overjoyed and said, "That is the most famous mercenary group in Eagle Grassland. The heavy cavalry group under its command is extremely powerful, even between some kingdoms. They dare to intervene in any war, and having them come to help can more than make up for our disadvantage in military strength."
Boom! Boom!
While the two were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Is it Clarence? Come in." Tyron raised his head slightly and said.
The door was then pushed open, and Clarence, who was wearing light armor and dusty with travels, walked in. He first bowed to the two of them according to etiquette, and then turned his attention to Tai Lundao.
"Sir, head to Iron Horn City. All the scouts in the direction of Giant Wolf City have returned."
"Very good, what are the movements of Philip's army?" Tai Lun's eyes were slightly stern. After the fall of Giant Wolf City, Kaiyuan City always paid attention to Philip's movements and sent many scouts in the direction of Giant Wolf City and Iron Horn City. Get information.
"According to the news brought back by the scouts, after Philip captured the Giant Wolf City, he first violently suppressed the remaining Wolf family forces in the city, and then confiscated a large amount of food from civilian households. It seemed to be preparing for the next war." Clark Reported by Lunshui.
"It seems that Philip has decided to unify the Cold Plains!" Tyron sighed with a complicated expression.
"The era of chaos has lasted for too long. As long as there is a chance, who among the five city lords would not want to unify the ice fields and establish a kingdom?" Enzo shrugged, his eyes narrowed and said, "Uncle Tyron, how long do you think Philip will be?" Start another war?"
"I'm afraid it won't be long." Tai Lun shook his head slightly and said solemnly: "In the Battle of Black Crow City, Philip defeated Brother O'Quinn with a wildfire trick. His main army suffered almost no losses. After that, he used a blitzkrieg Having captured Iron Horn City and Giant Wolf City in succession, our military strength must have been expanded."
"The Black Crow Army has won successive battles and its morale is at a high level. I estimate that within ten days at most, Philip will officially declare war on Kaiyuan City!"
"Ten days? That's enough." Enzo thought with his eyes and said, "The Golden City has opened the Iron Treasury. Now that the money is strong, Harris has already gone to Eagle Grassland. If everything goes well, it will take up to five or six days. You can bring back the 'Iron Cross Mercenary Group', and the war will begin at that time!"
I finally received the contract for the short-term site, Sahua (laughs).
