An important city and capital of the Northern Provinces On the Pamir plains, he confronted the Empire of Light for many days.
Tiger's idea was simple.
At present, the road to the south is the Pamir Plain located in the north of the Bright Continent, the northern end of the plain is the Thundering City, bordering the Thundering Strait, and the southern end is two, first, to deal with the main force of the Bright Empire in front of him, after defeating the only main army of the Bright Empire in the north, and then go directly south to conquer the capital of the northern provinces, or Kaka City Second, bypass this strong defensive line in front of you, leave tens of thousands of people to contain them, and then lead the main force south from the other direction to the west Tiger shook his head, the second method is simply a madman bypassing He led hundreds of thousands of troops deep into the enemy, and in the face of the opportunity for a head-on decisive battle, he did not fight, but went deep into the place, which is simply the idea of a madman Rubbing his temples, which were already a little painful, Tiger sighed.
Something hasn't been going well these two days.
After winning for a while with the chariot that day, the people of the Bright Empire on the opposite side seemed to have suddenly turned into shrunken turtles, hiding behind a strong defensive line, and refused to come out.
Relying on deep trenches and strong walls, and a defensive line that stretched for tens of miles, archers, catapults, and spearmen hid in the barracks.
The coalition stormed for two days and could not open the breach.
What made Tiger incomprehensible was that even in the face of the fortified Thunder City, his army could inspire courage to fight, and the battle was so fierce that his soldiers would move forward bravely.
But now the situation has suddenly changed Except for the army of the Sauron Kingdom that he brought out, the discipline is quite strict, and the armies of the other kingdoms seem to be a little strange.
They refused to be the vanguard during the two days of onslaught, and even when Tiger finally gave strict orders in the name of the commander-in-chief, the commanders of the armies still played dead.
And the soldiers are even worse.
They often run a few steps and then stand still, refusing to take a step forward.
Even if the overseer team behind them was supervising with a sharp sword, those soldiers could be slow and dodge.
Occasionally rushed up once or twice, but there was no belief and courage to die at all, and after a while, he immediately retreated.
And the first thing these soldiers did after retreating was to rush to the barracks and divide up the spoils of the other soldiers who died on the battlefield today.
Sometimes, in order to snatch a bag of gold coins, these unenterprising fellows on the battlefield will instead show their swords at their companions Tiger was so angry that he ordered the execution of several people, and after hanging their heads, it only attracted the displeasure of several other royal leaders, who accused Tiger of being selfish and bent on sending their army to death, but did not send the army of the kingdom of Sauron to fight hard.
Tiger gritted his teeth and sent the infantry regiment of the Sauron Kingdom as the main force to fight for a day, but found that the armies of the several kingdoms that cooperated with the attack were still grinding foreign skills, and in the end Tiger had nothing to say.
He angrily dropped a sentence: You just stay in the barracks and count the money, but it's best to think about it, if this war is lost, there is no life to spend In addition, there was still a word in his heart that he hadn't said: The other party's Thor's whip hadn't appeared for a few days, don't you fools doubt it?
Tiger was skeptical, but at least he hadn't heard anything bad about it so far.
In order to prevent the people of the Empire of Light from doing any tricks, he sent tens of thousands of small troops to move around every day, especially on his flanks and in the rear area.
At least the news that came back the night before yesterday reassured him, and last night an army of 3,000 people from the Goethe Kingdom was ordered to search and patrol everywhere, and encountered the other party's convoy, and the two sides fought fiercely.
The return of the blood-stained lieutenant made Tiger's heart feel lighter.
Because according to the lieutenant's return, they encountered the "Thor's Whip" The officers who commanded the army were killed, the army of 3,000 men was routed, and less than 800 fled back.
Two magicians who accompanied the army were also killed.
Although it lost thousands of people and two magicians, Tiger didn't care, at least, Thor's whip was still here and didn't run anywhere else Tiger repeatedly questioned the lieutenant who had escaped, especially about the clothing, armor, and combat effectiveness of the army that had defeated them.
There is no doubt about everything, in fact, Tiger is already relieved in his heart.
Looking at the bloody and frightened appearance of the adjutant in front of him, he already believed that the only person who could beat the Roland army so badly was Thor's whip.
Although it sounded like there were fewer Thor's whips that appeared, it was said that there were less than 2,000 people, and in order to evade responsibility, the adjutant deliberately exaggerated the number of Olisekh's party.
And the news that came last night made Tiger's doubts a little less again.
A small army of thousands of men sent out by himself last night was also attacked, and according to the reports of those who ran back, it was also Thor's Whip that attacked them.
The number ranges from about three to four thousand.
The place of ambush was southwest of his own battalion.
For two nights in a row, traces of Thor's whip were found in the southeast and southwest directions.
So does it mean that Thor's Whip is nearby?
Tiger sighed, what the hell is Duke Tulip doing Such a powerful army does not need to be on the frontal battlefield, but is divided into small groups to go out to fight his own search team Or Tiger's eyes lit up.
Or maybe the Empire of Light was undersupplied, and Duke Tulip sent the Whip of Thor, fearing that the small army he sent out would attack his convoy, sent Thor's Whip to escort the transport Thinking of this, Tiger himself laughed, it was ridiculous.
But didn't the adjutant who escaped the night before say that he saw the other party's Thor's whip escort convoy with his own eyes?
Or maybe the other side is not transporting ordinary materials from the rear, but some kind of powerful weapons With a lot of questions, Tiger sighed, walked out of the tent, took advantage of the evening breeze to clear his already somewhat dizzy mind, looked at the defense line of the Bright Empire people opposite, and muttered: "That Tulip Duke, what the hell is he doing?"
What the hell is the Duke doing?
No one knows, and even Ziggy is not clear about this question.
In fact, at this moment, Zigger's location is already on the Pamir plain, behind the Rolands, of course, but much farther away.
Ziggy had already set off two days ago with half of the Wolf Tooth Army.
Their target: Thundering City The 20,000 wolf tooth army behind them did not wear the standard armor of the Thunder God's whip, they wore a standard Roland knight armor, and the one they held in their hands was also the Roland man's cross sword, and more importantly, they were not wearing the armor of an ordinary Roland knight, the special color armor and the black cloak behind them all showed their identity, that is the Roland Continent's subordinate temple, the supreme Holy Knights, and the Ziggy is wearing the standard, the armor of the real Roland Holy Knights In fact, Ziggy also had some doubts in his heart, and the root of the doubts was that the Duke had been strange recently.
In fact, since that day of a confrontation with the Holy Knights of the Roland people on the Pamir Plains, the Duke has rarely appeared since returning to the camp.
And Ziggy, Miro and others all speculated: whether the Duke was injured After all, after fighting for so many days in a row, and fighting so many times with the opposing paladins and great knights, it would be too abnormal for the Duke to say that there was no injury on his body.

Even if there are no external injuries, what about internal injuries How powerful the paladin is, others don't know, but Ziggy does.
When he was in Thundering City, after the Fielding Paladin of the other party in the siege of the city made it to the city wall, he happened to run into Ziggy and frankly said that Zig had never doubted his own strength as he did that time.
In fact, Ziggy's current strength is almost reaching the Empire's fifth-level samurai standard.
But when facing that paladin, Ziggy only received three swords from the other party, and the three swords almost split Ziggy to vomit blood.
And it seems that the other party has not done his best at all.
If it weren't for the Duke to help him take it, I'm afraid that Old Ziggy would have died heroically in Thundering City.
But if the Duke is really injured, even if he is injured, he should at least tell himself, even if he is worried that the news of the boss's injury will affect morale, then a few high-ranking generals must always reveal it The days in the barracks were really strange, the Duke had a dozen personal guards outside his tent at all times, and the Duke had given strict orders, and no one was allowed to enter the tent without his orders, not even Ziggy Although Ziggy had some doubts in his heart: the Duke made him very unfamiliar with the dozen or so personal soldiers, and several of them were originally soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Army, of course Zige recognized them.
Just looking at the familiar faces, Ziggy had a strange feeling: those people had changed too much.
Although he hadn't tried it himself, Ziggy was sure that the strength of those boys had definitely greatly improved his current strength, and the samurai's intuition was very keen.
And there is nothing strange that the other pro-soldiers Ziggy doesn't know, after all, they are Duke Tulip, and it is normal for Duke Tulip to have a few special guards around him, and each generation of Duke Tulip has a few guards brought from the family, such as the current Rand, Rand was originally a guard in the Duke's Palace, but now it has also been incorporated into Thor's Whip.
But Ziggy couldn't help but think of a figure in his head: yes, it was the blue-haired kid.
What's that blue-haired kid's name, Roddy.
That kid doesn't know him, it seems that most of him was transferred from the Duke Tulip's Palace, and it's normal that he doesn't know him.
After all, it is impossible for every one of these tens of thousands of troops to have seen it.
It wasn't a big deal for the Duke to have a few of their family's personal guards around him, but why did that kid always give people a strange feeling?
What's more, the Duke only shows up once a day in the barracks, and carries it in the tent the rest of the time, even if there is something, it is this Roddy boy who spreads the word to his own soldiers.
And yes, yes, and his sword.
It was clearly the Duke's weapon, and it actually appeared in the hands of that kid.
Could it be that the Duke gave it to him?
What the hell is this kid looking like he's less than twenty years old, well, he can't be a relative of the Tulip family At the moment, Roddy was about two hours away from Ziggy.
He was also followed by more than 20,000 cavalrymen, also wearing the armor of the Holy Knights.
Their goal is the same: Thundering City Kraft looked at the blue-haired kid beside him, but his own thoughts were in his mind.
Kraft is thirty-five years old this year, and he is also a veteran of Thor's Whip.
It's just that because of his temper before, he has always held the position of deputy commander in Thor's Whip, and the imperial army knows that the position of deputy commander is simply an ornament, and the actual power is not as good as the captain of a column After Duke Tulip rectified Thor's whip, Kraft had a chance to ascend to the throne, and with his own strength, he sat in the position of commander.
Kraft was a very proud man, and he didn't look down on those noble officers in the original Thor's Whip, and he never went along with those guys.
In addition to arrogance, there was a deeper reason: because Kraft himself was not an aristocrat.
Because of this, Kraft squinted at the same aristocratic lords, except for the great duke It's just that the blue-haired kid next to him doesn't like Kraft so much.
This kid entered Thor's Whip through the back door.
Otherwise, how could he be the deputy captain of the duke's personal soldiers at such a young age You know, in the whip of Thor, it is already a supreme honor to be the personal soldier of the Duke, how many cavalry captains can be transferred to be the personal soldiers of the Duke, and even prefer to demote this kid, and he can be the personal soldier of the Duke at a young age, hum, most of them are a guy who walks through the back door.
Otherwise, why would he be the duke's personal soldier, but he would not dare to be transferred to the vanguard of the battle, such as the Wolf Tooth Army or other cavalry teams Looking at his young age, he doesn't look like he has much ability, but whether it is Ziggy or Kraft, who is dozens of miles away, they are absolutely obedient to his order to lead troops to sneak attack this time.
They all deeply remembered the scene when the Duke summoned him in the tent before leaving, and the Duke's face seemed to be a little pale, which made everyone even more confused about the rumors of the Duke's injury.
But fortunately, the Duke seems to be in good spirits.
That night, the outside of the tent was heavily guarded, and the duke's own soldiers kept the tent tightly guarded from anyone to get close, and in the tent there were only Miró, Ziggy, and Kraft in charge.
Originally, at the rank of Kraft's commander, he was not qualified to participate in such a classified military meeting.
Miro is the commander of the Northern Legion, and Lord Ziggy is the deputy commander of Thor's Whip, plus the great duke himself, these three people can be said to be the current triumvirate of the Northern Theater.
So when Kraft attended that confidential meeting, he was extremely nervous and excited.
A man with five big and three thick feet, standing there, didn't even know how to put his hands.
A sand table was placed in the middle of the big tent, which vaguely showed the appearance of the entire battle situation, especially the terrain where the two sides faced off on the Pamir plain.
A small red flag is inserted on the sand table, symbolizing the fall of the Bright Empire, and next to it is a small black flag, which is naturally the Roland people.
Immediately, the Duke planted two small red flags behind the black flags on the sand table, and his tone sounded calm: "There are two roads to Thundering City, one is the main road, and when we retreat, and when the Rolanders go south, we follow this main road.
The other is a small road, which is not easy to walk, but it is enough for a small army to pass.
Your goal is the Thundering City."
Ziggy and Miro looked calm, obviously they already knew about this plan.
Kraft's face was a little surprised at that time, although he hesitated, he still couldn't help but speak: "Lord Duke, with me with 20,000 people, and Lord Zige's 20,000 people, can you take Thundering City I heard that the Roland people have nearly 100,000 garrisons in Thundering City, and we are bypassing from both sides of the Pamir Plain, in time" At that time, the Duke's expression was very firm, and Kraft remembered that the Duke just glanced at him lightly, and then said, "Commander Kraft."
I know that there is a lot of distance, you go around the sides of the other party's military camp, gallop to Thundering City, hurry at night, and at the speed of Thor's whip light horse, it will also take about three days, but I ask no, it is an order I order you must rush to Thundering City within three days In addition" Lord Duke's gaze seemed to sweep over Kraft's face lightly, and then said in a deep voice: "In the more than ten days we have been in Thundering City, I have asked the Wolf Tooth Army to secretly dig a tunnel outside the south of the city, although the time is too short, and the tunnel is not too deep and not too wide, but it is still possible to let one or two thousand people sneak in."

I will hand over my personal guards to you, and the personal guards will enter the city through the tunnels, and then try to open the city gates from the inside, and then my 40,000 Thor's whips will not be able to defeat a hundred thousand rabble?"
Kraft immediately stood up straight and roared, "Lord Duke, if you can't take Thundering City, I, Kraft, will die there and not come back."
The evening breeze blew on his face, and Kraft tossed on his horse, and couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his head.
He glanced at the blue-haired young man Roddy beside him, sighed, and couldn't help but think in his heart: Lord Duke said to let his personal army enter the tunnel, is this kid named Roddy really so powerful Hum Look at his age, it's not bad to have half of Rant's strength Alas, why didn't Lord Duke send Rand to send such a kid But Kraft didn't know, at this moment Rand was in the commander's tent of the Bright Emperor's camp in the Pamir Plains.
The tent is surrounded by a team of more than a dozen personal soldiers, among which there is Olisekh Olisekh's mood is extremely excited, just transferred to the Thunder God's whip, you can enter the Duke's personal team, maybe that night I met those Duke's personal soldiers, I inadvertently told the Duke about my heroic killing of the enemy, just look at a few companions around him, Olisekh's excited mood couldn't help but feel a little weird, these two people were seen that night.
They still look so lifeless, the expression on their faces is as cold as ice, they don't speak, and they will never say a word for a day.
Even if he speaks, the tone is like a hum, like a dead father and mother at home.
The occasional glance can make people shake a group of monsters.
And even more uncomfortable than Olisekh is Carter.
Rand was ordered to stay in the tent, wearing the Duke's armor and clothes, and wearing the Duke's helmet.
Although it is strange that he was ordered to impersonate the Duke here, Rand, who was loyal to the Duke, did not have any doubts about him, and since it was the Duke's order, then he would just follow it.
With the Duke, there is no need to use your brain to think about any problems, whatever the Lord says, he will do anything, even if the Lord asks himself to ride a horse alone to charge against the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Rolands, Rand will definitely not frown It's just that the only thing that makes Rand uncomfortable is that the Duke's order doesn't seem to be as simple as he imagined, and when he leaves, the Duke confesses three words to himself: If someone wants to see the duke, they say, "No."
If someone reports that the enemy is attacking, say: "Defend tightly" If you still have any questions, say, "Go and ask Miro-sama."
What made Rand even more depressed was that the Duke did not say how long he would stay in this stuffy, almost maddening tent: Until I come back, no matter how long, you are not allowed to step out of the tent, and you are not allowed to sit here with a casual word What Rand didn't know was that Roddy's reason for choosing him was very simple: because Rand had followed him the longest, and knew the tone of his voice best, and more importantly, Rand's rough voice was quite a bit of the majesty of an army general, and it sounded like his own voice through a thick tent The two wolf tooth armies were rapidly advancing towards Thundering City, and Zige's people were particularly dangerous, because Tiger of the Roland coalition army was very cautious to arrange a lot of troops and garrisons on the road south behind him, just to prevent the imperial team from copying his own back road.
And Ziggy did encounter people who stood in his way on the road.
But his approach is very simple From afar, I saw the army of the Roland people blocking themselves on the main road, but the people of the Wolf Tooth Army rushed forward without saying a word.
Regardless of the other party's shouting or shouting, Ziggy led the person all the way forward.
And those Roland people suddenly saw that the oncoming army was dressed neatly, the armor of the Roland people was important, yes, from a distance, the other party was wearing the armor of the Holy Knights, and even the flag was the flag of the Holy Knights, and more importantly, the pattern on the flag was very clear, and the different colors and patterns had clearly shown that this was indeed the team of the Third Cavalry Regiment of the Holy Knights, which was absolutely right.
The Roland officers in the stronghold will not be mistaken about the banners of these famous Holy Knight Legions rampaging across the Roland Continent, and the other party even the marching array is in accordance with the standard Holy Knights Queue, the two knights are holding high banners to open the way, and the one in the middle behind must be the captain knight, showing a standard inverted triangular shape, all right, but what the Roland people don't know is that the information of these Holy Knights, including the hierarchical score of their armor, There are also the patterns and patterns of various flags, as well as the formation of the march, all of which were said by the captured Holy Knight Gata Grand Knight Roddy's method of extorting confessions is very effective.
After seven days of not being able to sleep, the originally determined Holy Knight finally had a nervous breakdown, and by the time he confessed, he had almost become a madman, unable to utter even a complete sentence, his eyes were completely red, his face was as pale as a vampire, and if it weren't for his hands tied, he would have been frantically about to tear his hair naked, and his mouth was full of tears and snot in his mouth, and he was drinking words that no one else understood, and his face was full of tears and snot.
No one would have imagined that a strong-willed iron man would become like this in the face of such a bizarre method of coercing confessions.
At last the mad fellow, who had been tortured, almost cried and begged to let him sleep, because every time he closed his eyes and was in a little trance, the other party used all kinds of strange methods to wake himself up.
Although the soldiers of the empire did not torture him, and did not use any heavy punishment against him, he felt that his head was about to burst at any time after many days of sleep, perhaps it was a hallucination, and he even felt that his head seemed to be expanding like a balloon, and finally he was already semi-mentally broken, and said any information that the imperial inquisitor needed, answered any questions, and then fell into a deep sleep and did not wake up again Eradicating the information provided by the poor great knight, Roddy ordered the creation of a group of Holy Knights who could almost be faked The reason why I say "almost" is because after all, the time is too short, all the armor and equipment are simply modified with the armor of Thor's Whip, if the color is wrong, simply brush it with paint, and if the style is wrong, let the craftsman simply deal with it, and the flags are carefully made according to the number of the Holy Knights.
These became a nightmare for the Roland army stationed on the road north.
Shouting from afar, the other party did not agree, shouting loudly, the other party ignored it, if it was in the face of other people, the commander would have ordered the arrow to stop the other party from approaching, but after all, now it is the Holy Knights who are coming over, it is the Holy Knights affiliated with the temple, and it is nothing if you offend the army of any country, but if you accidentally injure the Holy Knights, it is a felony that even the king cannot cover What's more, the arrogance of the people of the Holy Knights is famous in the mainland, and people who ignore their own questions may also be out of their arrogant habits It wasn't until the other party had already approached him and the distance was close that he realized that something was wrong: the appearance of the armor was a little different, and the color was a little strange up close, but it was too late.
In this world, there is no army that can resist the frontal charge of the wolf tooth army, let alone that the other party has been so close and has rushed past the effective strike range of the archers.
Ziggy's approach is very simple, charge and kill but never stop, and then go all the way forward after breaking the blocking army, and never do any fighting After waiting for three days, when he arrived at the last stronghold in the south of Thundering City, Zige led people to break through the opponent's defense line in one breath with lightning speed, and the Roland officer of that stronghold waited until the other party was less than a hundred steps away from him before he reacted, ordered to release arrows, and glanced at the corpses around him, as well as the defeated soldiers who had been defeated by himself, Ziggy coldly ordered, leaving five thousand people This time, Ziggy didn't rush immediately, he jumped off his horse, stood in front of the column of five thousand people, was silent for a few seconds, his voice was a little hoarse after a series of rushes, and his voice was a little low: "Brothers, I want to tell you one thing clearly, I left you here to ask you to defend this stronghold to the death, and I am not afraid to tell you that most of the people who stay are nine deaths or ten deaths, so I want to tell you that this is not an ordinary task, if you stay, Be prepared to die."
No one spoke, no one shirked.
Ziggy gritted his teeth and continued: "Soon, a large number of Roland troops will come here, your task is to guard here, the Duke here's order is to require you to guard at least one day a day, not an hour less, even if you die to the last person, as long as the time is not up, you are absolutely not allowed to take a step back" Zigger's gloomy gaze slowly swept across the audience, and shouted: "If you are afraid of death, stand up as soon as possible, I can forgive those who are afraid of death, but if you don't complete the Duke's order, then get out of my way as soon as possible" Without any hesitation, without a single face showing fear or wavering, five thousand people stood on the spot, drew their scimitars and pointed them at the sky with a neat brush, and then five thousand people roared in unison with the same voice: "Wolf Fang" To be continued:
