Chapter 172 171 The Alliance Agreement Is Just a Piece of Waste Paper for Now
Chapter 172 171. The alliance agreement is just a piece of waste paper for the time being
When preparing for this surprise attack, Lu Yu, as the temporary commander, obtained a lot of information that he had never known before.
First, he knew that he was facing the Seventh Army of Celer, and secondly, he knew some of the battle situations on the east and west fronts.
After the elves on the west front continued to lure the enemy deep into the territory, they counterattacked and caused some obstacles to the Celer army, which was considered to have played a role.
The dragons on the east front still maintained a balance, and according to the description of the messenger of the Iris Demon Fox, the dragons on the east front battlefield have not sent their main forces to fight so far.
Combining the information at hand, Lu Yu basically determined that the main reason for the dragons to maintain a balance on the east front was his own guess, hoping to involve the tribes in the entire central and southern Mostana into the war and expand the scale of the alliance.
On the bright side, this is to let the unawakened races stand up and fight against Celer together.
Thinking of the worst, the dragon clan is probably worried that their active confrontation with Celer will damage their combat power and eventually reduce their status in the entire Mostana, so they plan to use Celer's knife to cut the big clans in the central and southern parts.
But the dragon clan's behavior is completely inferior. Mostana is not the only one with a good brain. As long as the major races think about it, they will sooner or later find out that the dragon clan is passively resisting on the front line and preserving their strength.
If you want the major tribes to give up their fantasies and take the initiative to join the war, you can change another way.
Lu Yu asked the messenger of Lanshui to inform the various tribes of what Celer's Seventh Army did when it entered the central and southern regions. By the way, he also told them that Lanshui, Moon Shadow Werewolf, and Iris Demon Fox had defeated their vanguard. As long as they pay a little attention, they can see Celer cavalry rushing back to the temporary station like stray dogs.
Not long after packing up the spoils and returning to Lanshui City, Lu Yu heard some news.
The remnants of Izarebi were suddenly attacked by some tribes. The number of deaths was not large, but the number of wounded soldiers increased a lot.
Lu Yu said urgently: "Tell me quickly, Izarebi did not go to sweep these tribes."
"Yes, after driving away and killing some people from the tribe, Izarebi did not sweep, but led the team to continue on the road."
Lu Yu laughed even happier.
Izarebi made the wrong choice again, but he still had no choice.
In recent years, Celer's invincible and brave deeds have spread too widely throughout Mostana. Although all major races have turned the word Celer into a vicious insult, when they really face this empire, they can only tremble in fear.
Celer ignited the war and is about to start its future of ruling the entire Mostana and treating all races as inferior species and selling them as commodities.
But Celer has left such a deep mark on the various races of Mostana over the years that some races do not even dare to think of being enemies with him.
According to Xiao Keluer, there have always been two factions in the Iris Demon Fox, the migration faction and the peace-seeking faction, and their voices were once louder than the war faction.
This is still a big tribe, let alone a small tribe.
However, such a Celer was defeated by Lu Yu, and his remaining soldiers retreated in a panic. When attacked, they did not pursue, but instead accelerated their march and fled.
This is what Lu Yu wanted to show other races on this land.
Although Celer is strong, it is not invincible.
Even if Izarebi could guess Lu Yu's intention, he had no way to resist and could only follow Lu Yu's script.
The loss of nearly half of the horses, a large number of wounded soldiers, and too much entanglement on the road may make the situation worse.
Izarebi can't take the small road to prevent himself from becoming the monkey surrounded by many races, because the small road is often rugged and difficult to travel, which is not convenient for war horses to pass... and the wounded soldiers can't stand such tossing.
After learning about Lu Yu's plan, the senior management of Lanshui was completely impressed by Lu Yu's arrangement.
Lu Yu waved his hands repeatedly: "It's just luck, or Izarebi revealed too many flaws, and Celer is too arrogant."
Lu Yu did not modest himself, he still had some idea of his current ability limit.
The only good news is that Celer has not had any large-scale battles in the past hundred years, and small-scale frictions are not enough to test a person's true strength. The commander who comes out with pure theoretical knowledge is completely different from the commander who has truly experienced the baptism of war.
Therefore, Izarebi is likely to be one of the most ruthless characters in Celer.
This Celer Seventh Army, from strategic intentions to tactical arrangements, to actions, all highlight a risky move, in other words, "greed", and this greed is definitely not something that a legion can decide on its own, at least the formulation of strategic goals must come from a higher level.
More than 10,000 isolated troops inserted into the enemy's rear, wanting to complete strategic goals and gain as much potential benefits as possible, really did not take the races in the central and southern parts of Mostana seriously.
If the Celer upper echelons had shown some respect to their enemies, Izarebi would not have dared to act so recklessly, and he eventually suffered such a huge loss at the hands of Lu Yu, who had just made his debut and could be called the Little Zhao Kuo of Mostana.
"What should we do next? Do we need our Iris to cooperate with you?" Xiao Keluer asked hurriedly.
Lu Yu thanked Xiao Keluer and said seriously: "Next, Lanshui, Yueying, and Iris will all remain silent. The autumn harvest is approaching, and the three tribes will prioritize storing grain for the winter."
"Lanshui, Yueying, and Iris, please continue to implement the policy of clearing the fields. Our goal is not to destroy the Celer Seventh Army for the time being, but to make them return empty-handed."
The Moon Shadow Werewolf envoy hesitated for a moment and asked, "What should we do if the elves and dragons give us orders?"
Lu Yu did not answer directly, but looked at the map on the table and said what he had been thinking about for some time.
"I have been thinking about why Celer dared to put such a lone army behind the enemy. The strategic goal of carrying out the front line and disintegrating the anti-Celer alliance is very profitable and worth a try. I can understand, but it is indeed too risky."
"Where do they get the confidence that this army can retreat safely after executing the strategic deployment."
"I am not used to thinking that the enemy is too stupid, so I built a model to rationalize their behavior, constantly filling in various factors, trying to find a reason."
"Until the battle ended just now, I suddenly thought of a possibility."
Lu Yu said: "The one fighting with us is Izarebi, the Seven-Staff of the Celer Empire. He is also the top seven magicians of Celer. Such a person carries 4,000 elite cavalry and continues to go deep into the south of Mostana..."
Lu Yu swept his eyes over everyone present and threw out the question that made everyone think about it terribly.
"Who is commanding the remaining 10,000 troops?"
Everyone in the conference hall looked at each other in bewilderment. Many people had already seen through the most important information contained in Lu Yu's question.
Little Keluer reacted faster than her sister. She rushed to the table, found Iris's territory, checked the surrounding tribes that had not been destroyed by the Seventh Army, and finally checked the battle report on the western front.
"The Seventh Army, more than one sixth-level?" Ye Shui said in a heavy tone.
"I guess there are more than two of them." Lu Yu expressed his guess. "This team, which entered the western front and contained the elven coalition, dared to build a defense line near a large tribe like Iris, ignoring the pressure from the western elves, so blatantly..."
"If the ruler of the Celer Empire is not crazy, it proves that this army has assembled a large number of top combat forces in the Celer Empire. Their collective team can not only ensure the successful deployment of the strategic deployment, but also ensure that the army can cooperate with the offensive on the front line within an acceptable range of losses and return safely."
"This can also explain why Izarebi, as a sixth-level, did not stay in the garrison, but led the team to attack everywhere."
Lu Yu suggested: "If the dragons and elves come to ask, you can tell them my guess. It doesn't matter whether they believe it or not. The reason is very suitable to evade them."
The Moon Shadow Werewolf was still a little naive. He actually touched his furry head and asked Lu Yu if it was not good to do this. After all, everyone was against the Celer Alliance.
"If the Dragon Clan really thinks that this alliance is serious, please ask them to send out their main forces. I have a piece of intelligence provided by Iris. I'll read it to you."
"Since the war began, the Dragon Clan has lost three people, and the coalition forces of various tribes directly under the command of the Dragon Clan have fought with Celer on the eastern battlefield. Nearly 20,000 people."
Lu Yu shook his head: "I really want to unite more, but after reading this data, I don't know how to unite... It's okay for small tribes to be unable to resist and have illusions, but some large tribes not only have illusions, but also want to preserve their strength and intrigue..."
"Wait until they give up their illusions and realize that they are also aliens in the eyes of the Celer people. After being ruled, the only choice is either slaves or commodities. Then we can talk about considering this for the alliance."
"After all, I have limited abilities."
The werewolf envoy realized that this was not something he could decide after all. He apologized and returned to the territory in person to discuss with the top leaders.
Lu Yu was not worried that the werewolves would tell the dragons what he said. It was about the survival of his own race, and he believed that the werewolves could understand the pros and cons.
And Lan Shui naturally supported Lu Yu's decision unconditionally.
The big and small Keluer were originally the daughters of the leader of the Iris tribe. In addition, Iris was the biggest victim of the Western Front's defense leaks and was still being strangled by the Seventh Army. Therefore, they also recognized Lu Yu's decision.
If the two northern tribes, the dragons and elves, did not shed blood, everyone would treat the alliance agreement as a piece of waste paper.
Now Lu Yu's tricks have been used. After biting someone, this turtle retracted his head.
He was very curious. After a large number of wounded soldiers returned to the temporary station, what would the Seventh Army do next?
After returning to his house, the sticky tentacles immediately wrapped around Lu Yu's neck, and the black mist that was constantly sprayed brought Lu Yu the "coolness" he didn't want.
"If you have something to say, just say it." Lu Yu has become accustomed to Lulu's operation.
"There are problems with Ye Shui's combat power and Lan Shui's fifth-level combat power."
