Chapter 56 The battle is imminent
"Did you find something useful to you?" Luo Liss came over and asked.
"I can find a place where I can find it without any effort!" Enzo was in a good mood and said casually.
Luo Lis was stunned and blinked inexplicably.
As the main material of Sky Potion, the Sky Tree Fruit is something Enzo has been looking for. As long as it is available, Enzo has the opportunity to refine Sky Potion to help Oquin, who is already the peak of the Great Knight, break through.
"Although I don't know what this thing is for." Luo Lis shrugged and blinked, "But since you need it, take it away."
Enzo nodded slightly, and was not polite, so he put the fruit of the Sky Tree into his arms.
Then, the two of them walked around the iron vault for a while, and then left the underground space.
"Uncle Harris, how many troops are there in the Golden City?" In the castle study, three figures sat around a round table. Luo Lis looked at Harris and asked.
"After experiencing the war against Black Crow City and the rebellion in Rodri, the current military power of Golden City is about 7,000." Harris thought with his eyes and said, ": Among these 7,000 people, the city defense guards have a total of 5,000 people, and the other 2,000 are light rangers equipped with war horses."
"Are there only 7,000 people left?" Luo Lisi's eyes were dim. In her memory, the strength of the Golden City during its heyday was more than 20,000.
"Don't worry, Luo Lis." Enzo comforted her and said, "I have ordered the hungry wolf to go to the bloody wilderness. He can bring his bandits back within three days. Then he can be organized into the army with a little training."
"But...Is the hungry wolf really trustworthy?" Luo Lis hesitated slightly, with worry in her eyes.
"Don't worry, there is no need to consider this." Enzo said confidently, ": I have cursed the hungry wolf's body, life and death are all in my mind, and he will not joke about his life."
"That's good." Luo Lisie nodded a little relieved.
"The 7,000 defenders in the city, plus the Hungry Wolf of the Knight, and his bandit gang, should be enough to defend the Golden City." Harris's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Now Philip has taken over the Julang City and the Iron Corner City. After the Black Crow Army has been cultivated for a period of time, he will definitely provoke a war again, so I plan to go to the Eagle Grassland tomorrow and hire the "Iron Cross Mercenary Group" to help!"
"Iron Cross Mercenary Group?" Enzo raised his eyebrows, as if he had heard of the name.
"Yes, the Iron Cross Mercenary Group!" Harris nodded slightly and said, ": That is a famous mercenary group on the Eagle Grassland. Not only are there three great knights as leaders, but there is also a heavy cavalry group under his command, with very strong combat power."
"Our current military strength is very different from the Black Crow army under Philip's command. Only by hiring a powerful mercenary group can we increase some hope of victory!"
"Since that's the case, Uncle Harris will be there." Luo Lisi agreed and said solemnly.
Enzo's eyes flashed and he did not object.
As Harris said, hiring a mercenary group to fight can indeed enhance the strength of the alliance between Golden City and Kaiyuan City, but in fact, the outcome of this world war is often determined by the high-level combat power of both sides.
In Enzo's view, the most important thing about the victory or defeat of this war depends on whether he can defeat the Sky Knight Philip.
......
The sky is getting darker and night falls.
When Enzo left the Golden City and returned to Kaiyuan City, it was already evening.
"Have my father woke up yet?" Enzo met Tyron in the castle study.
"No." Tyron shook his head, looked worried, and said, ": Brother Oquin was seriously injured this time. The sword wound that Philip left on his chest almost hurts the heart. It is a miracle to be able to save a life. As for when he can wake up, he can only leave it to fate."
Enzo frowned slightly and sighed slightly in his heart.
"By the way, what's going on in Golden City?" Tyron raised his head and asked.
"Everything goes well!" Enzo nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Rodri has been killed by me, and his forces are also taken over by Luo Lis. After the ceremony of succession to the city lord, Luo Lis took me to open the iron vault."
"Oh? The iron vault is opened?" Tyron's eyes lit up slightly.
"Yeah, yes. There is indeed a lot of wealth in it. Harris is preparing to contact the Eagle Prairie and hire the Iron Cross Mercenary Group to fight with Kaiyuan to fight Philip." Enzo said.
"Iron Cross Mercenary Group? That's great." Tyron was delighted and said, "That's the most famous mercenary group on the Eagle Grassland. The heavy cavalry group under its command is extremely powerful. Even some kingdoms dare to intervene in wars. With them coming to help, it will be enough to make up for our military disadvantage."
Dong! Dongdong! Dongdong!
While the two were talking, a knock came from outside the door.
"Is it Clarence? Come in." Tyron raised his head slightly and spoke.
The door was then pushed open, and Clarence, wearing light armor and dusty clothes, walked in. He first bowed to the two of them according to etiquette, and then turned his eyes to Tyron.
"Sir, head to Tiejiao City, all the scouts in the direction of Giant Wolf City have returned."
"Very good, what are the movements of Philip's army?" Tyron'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 to inquire about information in the Giant Wolf City and Iron Corner City.
"According to the news brought back by the scout, after Philip captured Giant Wolf City, he first suppressed the remaining wolf family forces in the city, and then forced a large amount of food from the civilians in each household, as if to prepare for the next war." Clarence reported.
"It seems that Philip is determined to unify the cold land!" Tyron sighed with a complicated expression.
"The chaotic era has lasted for too long. As long as there is a chance, who will not want to unify the ice field and establish a kingdom?" Enzo shrugged, narrowing his eyes slightly and said, "Uncle Tyron, how long do you think Philip will start another war in?"
"I'm afraid it won't be too long." Tyron shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, ": Philip defeated Brother O'Quinn with wildfire tricks in the Battle of Black Crow City, and his main army suffered almost no losses. After that, he won the Iron Corner City and Giant Wolf City in a row with blitzkrieg, and his troops must have been expanded."
"The Black Crow Army won consecutive victories, and morale is in a state of high spirits. I estimate that within ten days at most, Philip will officially declare war on Kaiyuan City!"
"Is it ten days? That's enough." Enzo thought with his eyes and said, ": The Iron Cross mercenary has been opened in the Golden City. Now it is rich and powerful. Harris has gone to the Eagle Grassland. If it goes well, he can bring back the "Iron Cross Mercenary Group" in at most five or six days, and the war will start at that time!"
Finally received the signing of the contract and sprinkled flowers (laughs).
Chapter completed!
