Chapter 161: Plans don't change fast enough

Richard thought for a while and said, "If she runs away, let her run away. Even if she runs to the divine realm, we can deal with her together. Anyway, her importance is incomparable to that of the goddess. Execute it. I look forward to your victory!"

Primatis saluted and answered loudly, "Yes!"

Greze is a peaceful small country with scarce resources and a sparse population. The people living here live a simple life in this extremely cold land covered with ice and snow all year round. Since the Polar Night War that established the world pattern, the demons launched several invasion wars against Yggdelsilu. Perhaps because of the bad climate, or perhaps because it was worthless, the war never burned to Greze.

However, this tranquility was broken a few months ago. Yorum and her troops broke the tranquility here. However, the cities attacked were all in the west, and the east was still living in peace. However, this peace will disappear now.

In order to wash away the shame, Zonoz attacked with extra strength this time. He spared no effort in every attack. Although the border troops were strengthened, they could not resist Zonoz's repeated release of dark power. The wooden towers and the dilapidated stone walls were easily defeated by Ion's engineering troops. Now Richard was standing on the land that had been repeatedly repaired by artillery fire and dark energy.

"It's so cold." Richard tightened his clothes. Fina and Onyxia had already changed into precious animal skin coats.

Richard walked around the camp and was a little surprised. According to the plan, the First Army of Zonoz and the Second Army of Yoshisa had already set out. However, except for the newly formed 13th Army (composed of faceless Naga fishmen), the other seven armies participating in the battle of Grayze were stationed in the original place.

"Let's go to the temporary command center."

Richard called Fina and Onyxia to find the three people who were arguing fiercely in the command center.

Richard interrupted them: "What happened? Why are the troops still here?"

Zonoz and Yoshisa made way for Richard to walk in. Primatis explained: "An unexpected event occurred, which required us to change our plan."

Richard frowned and asked: "What happened?"

"There are only two forces left in Gretz, one is the goddess' army, and the other is our army. Yorum has been destroyed."

"Destroyed? How could this happen? Wasn't the war going on here a week ago? Yorum still occupies three cities in the east."

Primatis confirmed this: "Yes, it was like this before we set foot on this land."

Zonotz pointed to a river on the map that led away from him, and Primatis continued: "It was here that a decisive battle broke out, and our people rescued We found a trapped Yorum soldier, who told us what happened. Yorum had incredible power and assembled all her troops to attack the enemy. Even more stupid was that she ordered her troops to force their way across the river and attack the enemy who had already formed their battle array. Diluka said that Ligredo didn't like fighting, but was good at defense, and that there were many long-range troops in her army, and Yorum's army was also Therefore, they were all buried in the cold river. Yorum, who lost his army, fled to the forest deep in the north, and Ligredo took advantage of the situation to recapture the three eastern cities. "

Richard was a little confused: "Why did she do this?"

Primadis smiled and said, "She made this stupid decision when we started the attack. We always thought that she was stimulated by us. Especially she has always looked down on Rocky, but in the battle for the king's order, Rocky suddenly took the lead. Not only did he take down one country, but now he has the strength to attack the second one. This made her mentally unstable and she suddenly exploded, which eventually led to annihilation. "

Richard said disdainfully: "If you can't even bear this little pressure, what kind of general is she. The soldiers under her are really pitiful. It would be great if our opponents were all this kind of stuff."

Primadis shrugged and said, "Obviously impossible."

"That's just what I said." Richard asked, "Aren't you all united in opinion? What were you arguing about just now?"

Primathis explained, "We are indeed united in our recognition of the current situation, but we have differences on the next course of action."

"The plan is not changing fast enough, what is your disagreement?"

Zonoz and Yoshisa chattered, and Primathis also communicated in their language. Richard listened and understood. Since Yorum was eliminated in advance, there was one less favorable restraint, and several people had different opinions on the next offensive plan. Zonoz thought that no matter what happened, he was not afraid, just screw him! The right thing to do is to stick to the original plan. Yoshisa thinks that they should learn from the lesson of the Kingdom of Spring and eat them up bit by bit in a steady and cautious manner. Primatis still proposed to divide the troops but did not insist on advancing.

Richard looked at the small flags on the map and was about to express his thoughts when he was interrupted by the guards who ran in.

"Report! Enemy troops have been spotted on the other side of the river! The leader is none other than the goddess of the Kingdom of Winter, Ligado!"

"What! Doesn't she know how to get tired?" Richard immediately ordered, "Everyone prepare for battle!"

Ligado's troops lined up on the other side of the river. This is a defensive force with human artillery and magicians as the core. The artillery and magicians are firmly protected in the center by heavy armored infantry. It seems that it will take some effort to eliminate them. Richard is not as stupid as Yorum. He cannot force a river crossing even if he has an absolute advantage in military strength. Every soldier must be used to the best effect.

Richard asked Primathis: "Does Ain and the others have enough range?"

Primathis took a look with a measuring tool: "Almost."

"Then." Richard looked at Ain and said, "Let's bombard!"

Ain nodded. Just as he was about to leave, Richard gave Ain a thumbs up and encouraged him: "Little Ain, come on!"

Ain's eyes flickered a little, and he nodded heavily and went to command the siege troops.

Primathis raised his head, and Vashj's words came true again. Richard was flirting with Ain all the time, even the half-mechanical Ain was not spared.

The light from the bombardment and magic flashed on the river. For some reason, the siege troops, known for their accuracy, were seriously inaccurate in the battle. Many of their shells could not even get across the river. However, the enemy's shells hit Richard's artillery position with great accuracy, causing considerable damage and even destroying a crystal artillery vehicle.

Richard looked at the battlefield in confusion. His side was still in a geographically advantageous area: "There is a problem! There must be a problem!"
