Chapter 140 Going South and North
The secrets of the North's past are too well hidden.
Not only the people did not know, but the princes and nobles did not know either.
As a battle maniac who rose from the grassroots, General Paddy was naturally unaware of these past secrets.
Therefore, his sigh at the appearance of the true dragon species was not because he knew that if the dragons appeared for a long time, it meant that the demons could return to the North; but because as a soldier and commander, he knew clearly how terrible this uncontrollable violence was.
How many explosions occurred in the North that year due to the leak of stock of the light-explosive particles developed by the magic towers in the royal capital?
Even a strong man like him would be defeated if he failed to react in time, did not have proper weapons, or was sleeping and encountered a close-range light explosion particle.
So, that's what uncontrollable violence is.
However, the humanoid creature with bright green light all over its body brought much more news to General Paddy than just the dragon.
"The mountains and rivers revealed at the end, you know exactly where this is, right?"
It is connected to the plains in the south and the river that looks so familiar.
"Near Sweetleaf?"
The news that there was a dragon near Sweet Leaf Town only shocked him for a while, but it soon wore off. General Paddy knew exactly what the other party wanted him to pay attention to.
It's the soldiers who guard the village...
Davis's army does not have many people, and after taking over Sweet Leaf Town, they do not have enough manpower to send troops to the village to defend it.
And the implication of such a result is already very obvious.
His stupid and loyal Davis may be dead.
The force that defeated him might not be very strong, but it definitely had enough manpower.
Otherwise, it would not be so luxurious as to have garrisoned even an ordinary village.
After he had gathered the country's military forces several times, and not long after his plan was exposed, so many fighters appeared in the east of the small kingdom right under his nose. There was only one possibility - rebellion.
Perhaps, under multiple pressures, those meaningless bastards have finally started to raise the banner of rebellion again?
However, surprisingly, General Paddy did not feel any anger or sadness in his heart.
On the contrary, he felt only calmness and determination.
Whether or not the Mud City in the north could be captured was secondary. If there was no warlord with equal power behind him, the Mud City might not be able to hold out for long.
After all, he is the leader of the seven generals of the small kingdom of Womuza, and surrendering to him is also a decent act.
All in all, the battle with the Slime City may not necessarily be fought.
But if the enemies in the South are really a group of rebellious civilians as they think, then there will be a conflict no matter what.
Although the Slime City was powerful, it might not be able to fight against him;
Although there are few rebellious farmers, unruly people, and bandits, they will definitely cause trouble.
The choice is clear...
Although Davis was a general he trusted and might have fallen at the hands of the enemy, General Paddy felt unexpectedly relieved.
Because now the integration of Crow Castle has been completed.
Whether it is going north to attack Mud City or going south to capture three or five towns including Sweet Leaf Town, it is not a problem.
Now it’s just a matter of doing it.
All you have to do is do it.
General Paddy, who was muttering to himself, turned around, as if ignoring the humanoid creature covered in bright green light who was still in the barracks.
And if there was a third person present, they would find that General Paddy's eyes were covered with a layer of bright green energy at this moment.
----------
After being spewed by the giant dragon, Great Elder Paospa completely despaired of whether he could regroup the team.
Before, he relied on his own dictatorship to drag the troops here without any supply points along the way and without even enough time.
And now, a battle that should have been a battle that could be fought and then immediately followed by dinner, suddenly a giant dragon appeared out of nowhere.
The supply and organization levels were all gone, so even he couldn't expect to get much back.
Now, the few relatively loyal lizardmen around him also spoke up in time, "Great Elder, let's retreat as well..."
"Retreat?" The scales on Paospa's face twitched.
Retreat and rout are two different actions, and there is a clear distinction between them.
If there is an organized and planned movement backward on the battlefield, and the purpose is to reorganize and restructure the troops so as to re-launch the attack or take other tactical actions at the appropriate time, then the Grand Elder Paospa will recognize this as a retreat.
The soldiers evacuated the battlefield in an orderly and disciplined manner, remaining calm and organized, in order to temporarily reduce losses and ensure some subsequent arrangements.
But now, on the battlefield, their troops lost organization and discipline due to the panic and chaos caused by the flame, and the Lizardman warriors fled the battlefield in all directions.
There is no sign of any orderly command or control anymore; it is not a retreat but a rout!
The flames did not rage in the northern wilderness for too long. Although the raging fire could devour everything, it would quickly go out when it encountered the frozen soil of the north.
Compared to the smoke from the fire, the water vapor diffused more clearly at the edge of the dragon's breath.
In the blurred vision, Paospa suddenly saw bright green guidance appearing in front of him.
The next moment, the lizardmen who were originally surrounded by flames and screaming heart-wrenchingly stopped running; and those who were rolling in pain trying to put out the flames on their bodies also stopped rolling.
The lizardmen in the area shrouded by bright green energy began to perform a unified action, which was to stumble and gather towards him.
Such a scene made the several lizardmen following the great elder Paospa dumbfounded, but the next moment, their free will disappeared.
Great Elder Paospa knelt down in the mist of water vapor. "Why is your will so direct this time?"
Although that adult was powerful, he seldom took action. Even when his junior fellow apprentice brother was studying the taboo of reversing the Tiangang and was almost caught by the messenger of the Divine Court, that adult did not come to help.
And now, in order to have soldiers to fight, that adult actually took direct action?
What kind of grand event is happening in this ordinary village before our eyes?
Just when Great Elder Paospa was about to lead this group of confused tribesmen in another attack, a familiar voice dissuaded him.
"Take a break. This village is not your target. Once you defeat the human army, this village will naturally fall."
