“Everything starts with the destruction of the City of Usmer. I want to completely cut off all resource supplies to the Laiserman people,” Khan Yamun reiterated his command.
Although he had already dispatched a powerful force of Tukan Eagle Knights, it was too sparse, and the Laiserman people would not sit idly by. He still needed a ground force to assist them.
Instead of incurring the great cost of sending an elite unit of Tukan forces, he chose a more convenient method, which was to utilize the former influence of the God of Murder to recruit the evil local factions of the Great Valley to join his ranks.
Khan Yamun, who could unify all the Tukan people of the Endless Wilderness and even break through the Soaring Dragon Great Wall numerous times to raid the Soaring Dragon Empire, relied not only on vast forces and the Transcendent power brought by the Slaughter Godhood Shard but also because he was well-read in the military texts of the Soaring Dragon Empire and mastered various strategic tactics.
Compared to harassing the grain transport teams on the Great Valley Boulevard, his plan was more visionary, preparing to once and for all eliminate the possibility of the Laiserman Kingdom receiving any kind of supply and support from the direction of the Great Valley Boulevard.
The port city of Usmer was the key, as destroying and controlling it would make sea transport extremely difficult to execute from there.
When the Demon Mother Tree grows to a certain extent, it can even launch a surprise attack from the rear during the Tukan Army’s planned lake-crossing operation to hold down part of the Laiserman Kingdom’s forces.
“As you wish,” the Demon Mother Tree responded loudly.
As its telepathy spread out, those Demon Trees originally rooted in the east and south all swayed and uprooted themselves from the ground.
With their own Demon Tree People, they launched an invasion toward the northwest. Everywhere they passed, although the speed of forest corruption was not as fast as before, it was still astonishingly swift. Especially with abundant blood as sustenance, a Withering Army of Demon Trees quickly formed, marching mighty towards the City of Usmer.
“You have three days to prepare for the march. After three days, I will launch a feigned attack at Lake Asen to keep the main force of the Laiserman Kingdom occupied so they cannot send reinforcements to the City of Usmer,” Khan Yamun said, leaving behind this instruction. He then flickered and returned to the Tukan Army, leaving his Eagle Knight Guards behind.
In such a total war, you must not move a single point alone; if you move, the entire front must move together.
By that time, not only will there be large-scale feigned attacks from the Tukan Army, but his other allies, the bald mages, should also make their moves to stick the enemy from the direction of the Cesk Kingdom.
The art of war lies in being intangible.
Every feigned attack must be treated with caution because once the enemy detects any weaknesses, they will inevitably turn possibility into reality and launch a full-scale attack.
“These damned flies, what on earth do they want to achieve? They neither attack nor retreat, just hover aimlessly above us. Not to mention we can’t send food to the frontline; even our lives are becoming a problem.”
“That’s exactly what they want. With just a very small aerial force, they have paralyzed the functioning of our entire city.”
“In the long run, this is not a solution. Is there no way to shoot them all down or drive them away?”
“I’m afraid it’s difficult. These Tukan Eagle Knights are very cunning, always staying out of the range of the City Defense Crossbow Carts, and obviously, there are more than one wave of these Tukan Eagle Knights, harassing in shifts.”
“It’s all the fault of Commander Gaven. They brought the grain and attracted the attention of the Tukan people to our City of Usmer. Before they came, those Tukan had never run over to harass us.”
“What you’re saying is a bit ungrateful. They came to help us fight against the Tukan. The invasion of these Tukan people wasn’t provoked by them. It was just a matter of time before they hit here. If it weren’t for their support, we wouldn’t just be facing harassment from a group of Eagle Knights in the future, but countless Tukan Cavalry, and then we wouldn’t even have a place to hide.”
“Here they come again, the Tukan Eagle Knights are back, quickly get into the shelters, quickly get into the nearby shelters.”
“Run! Run! Run!” For origınal chapters go to 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁
“Let me in, let me in, please, let me in… ah…”
“Help me… help me… I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die…”
“Save them, hurry and save them, don’t rush out blindly, brace the door, brace the door…”
As the sound of metal gongs echoed throughout the City of Usmer, all the citizens rushed to the surrounding shelters in a frenzy.
In the sky, there was a series of sharp eagle cries, dozens of small black dots appearing in everyone’s vision, and the sound of arrows piercing through the air sounded like the wailing of death in the ears of the citizens of Usmer.
Thick, long arrows fell from the sky, precisely striking citizens unable to avoid them in time.
Most were injured but not killed, crying out in pain while running or crawling towards the nearest cover.
These Tukan Eagle Knights were merely trying to create chaos and did not deliberately pursue fatalities, rarely aiming repeatedly at the same target, giving the unfortunate citizens a chance to escape.
This was already the third day.
The Komeer Grain Transport Fleet had just finished unloading the grain when these Tukan Eagle Knights appeared the next day.
Under their harassment, normal life in the City of Usmer became problematic, let alone organizing manpower to transport the grain to the frontline.
