Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 516: Mountain Eagle Parker's Idea

[Faction-wide Announcement]

[Li Yue, a general under the Earl of Blazing Flames Li Wei, led the Blazing Legion to a First Battle Victory today, slaying one Chiliarch, six Centurions, and 209 Heavy Cavalry of the Caidell Faction! This severely crushed the morale of the Caidell Faction and greatly boosted our morale! The Supreme Leader, Duke Will, specially bestows upon her the title of Viscount; from now on, she can be called Viscountess Scorpion.]

[You gained 50 World Reputation, but due to your current Faction, 25 of these World Reputation points must be handed over to your Faction Leader, Falcon Karl. Your current World Reputation is 300 points.]

Several different messages surfaced before Li Wei one after another.

This result wasn't unexpected; it was acceptable. Six hundred Heavy Cavalry could make a splash no matter when they were deployed. It was just that it would be a bit difficult to wantonly trample Kahndorf afterwards, because the enemy would notice clues after a slight post-battle review.

Of course, this was harmless. Just this wave alone was considered a profit.

He just didn't know if Mountain Eagle Parker would seize this opportunity to do something?

Just as this thought flashed through Li Wei's mind, Mountain Eagle Parker, who a moment ago was ordering Li Yue to return to the fortress and not show off, now made a decisive move.

First, a Blink appeared at Siyuan Keep, followed by another Blink at Li Wei's First Fortress. The next second, a Sequence Five Fire Meteor Ultimate Move shot into the sky, and a few seconds later, it smashed and collapsed that river-crossing Pontoon Bridge, cutting off the retreat path of the enemy's remaining seven hundred-plus Heavy Cavalry. This operation was so smooth!

Then, Mountain Eagle Parker shouted directly:"Li Wei, order your entire Cavalry force to attack. Remember, entire force attack. This time I'll have Tancred's Crimson Knights take the vanguard. No matter what, you must pin Baravid's Cavalry on the West Bank to death!"

"This is an order!"

"Rest assured, I will personally act as their War Mage. If we don't seize this tactical opportunity, we'll regret it for a lifetime!"

"Understood!"

Under these circumstances, how could Li Wei have any room to refuse? Moreover, this was indeed an excellent opportunity.

The next second, Mountain Eagle Parker Blinked back to Siyuan Keep to urge Tancred to lead his Cavalry into battle.

This time, Tancred's reaction was quite fast. The two hundred Crimson Knights rumbled out.

And Li Yue, after receiving the order, didn't hesitate either. Six hundred Cavalry charged out of the Second Fortress like a torrent! Combined, that was eight hundred Heavy Cavalry. Plus Mountain Eagle Parker, a Fourth-Tier Mage, buffering them as a War Mage, this battle seemed to have no suspense. But facts proved that was impossible.

Sure enough, a minute later, as Mountain Eagle Parker ambitiously buffed these eight hundred Heavy Cavalry, Maclay on the East Bank of the River Ness directly initiated a full-scale siege.

At the same time, the Korndorf Legion on the West Bank of the River Ness fearlessly pressed forward. We'll give your Cavalry a chance to charge our formation, we'll give you a chance to massacre us, we're just here to die! But Baravid's seven hundred-plus Heavy Cavalry detoured to the rear and began to regroup.

In a word, War of Attrition!

They gave up these Cavalry, gave up the over ten thousand Infantry of Korndorf. So what if we give them all to you? How many of your eight hundred Cavalry will be left in the end? But do you dare to bet whether Kahndorf Fortress, without a Fourth-Tier Mage holding down the fort, can be breached?

So Mountain Eagle Parker hesitated for only one second before ordering a retreat. Everything returned to how it was, but we still won.

Right, First Battle Victory. He even gifted Li Yue a Sequence 4 Magic Sigil.

And he was full of praise for Li Yue in the Faction Channel...

Just like that, the first day of fighting ended.

The three hundred Heavy Cavalry Veterans returned to the Second Fortress, and Li Yue led the three hundred Flame Cavalry back to the First Fortress. The two sides were over a dozen li apart, there was no need to squeeze together. The two fortresses were like two sharp fangs.

However, this time everyone understood clearly and thoroughly. While grinding their teeth in hatred, they also couldn't help but inwardly cry out how close it was. Truly, if this matter had been known by Mountain Eagle Parker beforehand, if he had deployed in advance, or if Tancred's two hundred Crimson Knights hadn't retreated so quickly and cowardly, if they had just intercepted them a bit, they could have crippled Baravid's seven hundred-plus Heavy Cavalry.

This battle could have been half-won directly!

Inside Siyuan Keep, Li Siyuan couldn't help but Wailing and Frustration. Why hadn't he thought of it? He completely didn't expect it. He had even gone to the First Fortress every day to mooch food and drinks, but he blankly never thought of going to the Second Fortress to take a look. Who could have thought that this kid Li Wei would play this hand of Deceive the Heavens to Cross the Sea.

"No, this kid's hand was prepared for Korndorf!"

Li Siyuan suddenly figured it out, and his Hair-Raising instantly.

If not for Baravid, this 4th-Tier Dawn Knight, being too arrogant, and Maclay, this Marshal, being too confident, so they wanted to send this thousand Heavy Cavalry to destroy the two fortresses here, they could never have forced out Li Wei's Trump Card.

By that time.

When the siege battle of Kahndorf Fortress was fiercely underway, and Korndorf's ten thousand Infantry Methodical stepped forward to feint an attack, holy crap! Six hundred Heavy Cavalry suddenly charging out, assisted by Infantry advancing—they might have destroyed Korndorf's Legion in one battle.

If three thousand out of ten thousand Infantry survived in the end, that would be good!

He estimated that at this moment, Korndorf on the opposite side was already breaking out in a cold sweat of lingering fear.

Yes, exactly. Because before dark, Korndorf's main camp had already retreated another ten li and began to build permanent fortresses. They were definitely scared.

"Sigh, what a pity!"

Li Siyuan sighed longly.

"It is indeed a great pity."

At the same time, within Kahndorf Fortress, Mountain Eagle Parker looked at his Spellcaster Division. Actually, they were very strong—over thirty Casters, including two Rank 3 Casters. But, it was still not enough.

Just now, if he only had one Fourth-Tier Mage under his command, this battle could have rewritten the results directly.

But Fourth-Tier Mages aren't cabbages.

In Duke Will's Faction, there were only six Fourth-Tier Mages in total. This even included the restless Jiang Xinran, who wanted to set up her own faction and got killed. Fortunately, on Duke Kadel Faction's side, of the original six Fourth-Tier Mages, no one knows when one was killed, dropping a level and having to start over. Now it's 5 VS 5, turtle against green bean, neither can do anything to the other.

Next would be a cruel siege battle, fighting Methodical.

At the very least, they could protect Siyuan Keep this round.

"To break the deadlock, a Fourth-Tier Mage is the key! Perhaps..."

At this moment, a very bold idea suddenly flashed through Mountain Eagle Parker's mind.

"A total of ten Six-Star Gold Cards, the remaining 199 are Five-Star Gold Cards. I used all those Six-Star Gold Cards to reinforce and Upgrade the Five-Star Warhorses, and the Five-Star Gold Cards were exchanged for Silver-Quality Clearance Tokens. The 209 Purple Cards are also here. It's a pity we probably won't get a massive loot drop, otherwise we could have crippled over two hundred of the enemy's elites in this wave."

Inside the First Fortress, Li Yue, with a smile on her face, handed the harvest of this battle to Li Wei. The gains from this wave were enough to cover the inventory he gave out earlier.

"It's already very good. You grasped this tactical opportunity well. Adapting to the situation on the spot is exactly how it should be. You absolutely cannot be Sloppy and Indecisive. Strike when you should; Battlefield Autonomy, after all."

Li Wei sincerely praised. This was the difference between different Professions.

In the battle just now, with Delusion Breaking + Destiny Resonance + Legion Skills flying everywhere from both sides, his 20 points of Perception simply couldn't see clearly and was suppressed into a mess. But Li Yue was able to find the enemy's weakness within it and proactively launch a preemptive strike. This point was too difficult.

So from this point, Li Wei currently fighting alone could beat two Li Yues, but that couldn't change the fact that Li Yue was already an outstanding, or at least qualified, Cavalry general.

Being able to integrate those three hundred Heavy Cavalry Veterans in just seven days couldn't be explained by luck or coincidence. Of course, these Heavy Cavalry Veterans were truly awesome. Having those three hundred Flame Cavalry release those three Lethal Legion Arts would have been absolutely impossible.

"How about we use these Silver Tokens to reinforce those Heavy Cavalry Veterans another wave? We still have two hundred at home."

Li Wei said at this moment. He still couldn't quite forget about his plan to trample Kahndorf with Cavalry.

But Li Yue shook her head.

"Let's stop while we're ahead. We've highly likely already missed the opportunity to heavily damage the Korndorf Legion. Also, although these Heavy Cavalry Veterans are very strong in Destiny Resonance and Legion Skill release, they are old and lack Lifespan. It's very difficult for them to engage in sustained combat. Once the enemy discovers the clues and targets them specifically, we won't be able to bear that kind of loss."

"Besides, do you think Falcon Karl won't be wary? When the time comes, if he uses the name of the Marshal to mobilize the Blazing Legion to participate in the Legion battle, will you obey or not?"

"Therefore, we'd better strengthen your Royal Guard as soon as possible. Among our three Legions now, the Blazing Legion is the strongest, followed by the Ice Legion. Because the Royal Guard was formed too late, their foundation isn't quite enough. Next, at the very least, we must get them all to Tier-2 Universal Awakening. If, within three years, you can get your Royal Guard to All-Attribute Level 3 Awakening, then they will be qualified to be called the Royal Guard."

"Mhm, what you say makes a lot of sense."

Li Wei nodded, then immediately broke down the 199 Silver Tokens into 398 Black Iron Tokens and distributed them to the 300 Royal Guards. Their foundation was indeed very low. As of now, only 150 people's Primary Class cards had reached Four-Star, while the rest were still Three-Star. This time, the priority was to ensure all their Primary Classes reached Four-Star, and then select those whose secondary profession Experience met the Upgrade requirements to Upgrade their secondary professions to Four-Star.

Next, they opened the Purple Cards. The Warhorses, Cavalry Lances, and Horse Tack obtained were all handed over to Li Yue as reserves for the Blazing Legion. Inside Liwei Keep, there were still two hundred Heavy Cavalry Veterans without Warhorses.

As for the Armor obtained, it was transferred to Logistics, where Zhao Xuanxuan would repair or melt it down depending on the condition. These incomplete armors could not be used directly.

Finally were the dropped cards. All Five-Star Class Cards were handed over to He Yibo, who would use them to fill in the gaps for the Ice Legion soldiers. The remaining Four-Star Profession cards were distributed to the Royal Guard according to their types.

In short, although this wave couldn't be called a massive drop, it was still quite good.

It basically ensured that the six hundred Cavalry of the Blazing Legion could all reach the standard of 5+5+5+4+3 or above.

And the five hundred soldiers of the Ice Legion basically reached the standard of 5+4+4+4+5 or above.

As for the Royal Guard, it basically guaranteed a standard of 4+4+3+4, or 4+3+3+4.
