Chapter 1190: The Action Begins

Just when Chen Fang and Alusi were collecting the domain master's heart in the small world and opening the treasure house of the God of Nature, the 250,000 troops of Lake City, led by Commander Hai Lie, were marching southward.

Hai Lie, who was riding on a tall horse, was majestic and majestic.

He was surrounded by a group of officers, all with excited expressions.

"If we go south this time and capture that city, then we will be doing a great job."

"Yes, and as long as we take down that city, we will have a springboard to expand towards the southern border. As long as we develop for a while, when we have enough troops, we may be able to take down the southern border."

"You think too much, somewhere in the southern border, there are five clans there, how can it be so easy to fight."

"What are you thinking too much? You don't know. Let me tell you that the southern border is in chaos. It is said that the human race and the goblin race have left the southern border. I can’t even see it, either you hit me or I hit you, it’s a mess.”

"Is that so, where did you get the news from?"

"Extremely bad."

"This is that organization, is it reliable?"

"An organization that will do anything for you as long as you have money. It just appeared. It has a good reputation. Anyway, it has never lost its trust until now."

"Did you buy this news?"

"That's not true. I assigned a mission. They didn't do it very well. For the sake of word of mouth, they sent me a message for free. At that time, the city lord was collecting information on the southern border, so I casually asked about the situation in the lower southern border."

"Does the City Lord know about this news?"

"kindness."

"I'm going. If this is true, it doesn't mean that we came down this time, and we didn't just occupy a few cities, but..."

"Let me just say, why did the city lord suddenly send so many troops south this time, and more troops will be added later. It turns out that the real purpose is the southern border."

"No way, if this is the case, why didn't the city lord tell us when he sent troops?"

"I don't know about that, maybe only Lord Hailie knows."

The officers all looked at Hai Lie as they talked, and someone couldn't help asking: "My lord, I don't know what our real purpose of going south this time is, is it..."

Hailie glanced around, seeing that all the officers were very curious, and he didn't intend to hide any more, so he said lightly:

"Yes, you guessed it right, our real purpose of going south this time is to conquer the southern border."

"This is a deliberate decision made by the city lord after receiving information on the current situation in the southern border."

"I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that you wouldn't want to, so I deliberately concealed it. Now that you have guessed it yourself, I will say it clearly."

All the officers cried out in surprise.

"Ah! That's true."

Although there was a faint premonition in their hearts through the communication just now, the officers were still extremely shocked when they actually got the news from Hai Lie.

They thought that this trip to the south was just to conquer two or three cities and expand some territory. They didn't expect that the city lord's real appetite was even bigger, and he set his eyes on the southern border.

"Would it be too risky? Even if the southern border is in chaos now, if we go there now, the four clans will not be so stupid as to continue fighting, right? They will definitely unite temporarily." An officer worried.

The other officers also nodded.

Their colleagues are not without reason to worry.

This is like two gangs of hooligans on a piece of territory. When they compete for the territory, if a third party intervenes, they will definitely temporarily put aside their prejudices and join hands to resist outsiders.

Hai Lie looked at the officers and said, "You think you're the only ones who are smart, and the city lord and I didn't think of this?"

"Of course we won't go to the southern border so recklessly. Although the ultimate goal of this expedition is to conquer the southern border, it doesn't mean doing it right away. Instead, we will first take down the city on the Fertile Plain as a basis for us to attack the southern border in the future. Bridgehead."

"Then I want to sit and wait for the four tribes in the southern border to consume. When they are seriously injured in their fight, we can directly enter the southern border and decide the outcome in one battle."

All the officers suddenly realized, and then flattered one after another, praising the city lord and Hai Lie for their wisdom and bravery.

Hailie listened to the flattery of his subordinates, and he was very grateful, but he still maintained his majesty on the surface.

Looking at the sky, Hailie asked, "What time is it?"

A subordinate replied: "My lord, the sun will set in just one hour."

Hai Lie: "Can you find the place where the army camped?"

Subordinate: "My lord, the sentry sent out just now reported that there is a wild lake ahead, which is wide enough for our army to rest. If our army wants to rush there, we will have to walk for at least three hours."

When the wild lake was turned into a battlefield last time, the nearby woods were completely burned by a fire. Up to now, only some weeds have grown, so it is empty and open.

Hai Lie thought for a while, then ordered: "Then rest there and order the whole army to advance at full speed."

"Yes, my lord."

After a while, the soldiers of the Hucheng army who received the order quickened their pace and marched towards the wild lake. When the sun set and it was dark, they arrived at the wild lake more than two hours later, and all the soldiers looked exhausted when they arrived.

"How can there be traces of burning here?" An officer looked at the surrounding ground and said doubtfully.

"Obviously there used to be a forest here, maybe there was a forest fire and it was burned. We also have this kind of situation in our place, so there is nothing to make a fuss about." Someone pointed to some carbonized wood that had been hit by wind and rain on the ground.

While the two were talking, a messenger ran over.

"The commander-in-chief has an order to set up camp here and rest for one night, and let the soldiers set up their tents quickly."

The two officers didn't say anything anymore, and immediately ordered the soldiers to start moving.

Soon after, around the wild lake, tents were set up one after another, and bonfires were lit. After the busy Hucheng soldiers had dinner around the fire, many people went directly to rest because they were tired.

The same was true for Hailie and a group of officers. They started to feel sleepy after dinner, and they all returned to their tents.

The night was getting darker and darker, and the entire Lake City army, apart from the crackling of the bonfire, the sound of the soldiers snoring, seemed very quiet.

And just one kilometer away from the wild lake, Jimo Yihe was lurking with 10,000 soldiers.

"Brother, when will we start?" Jimo asked the second brother.

Jimo looked at the moon in the sky and said, "Are you sleepy?"

The second child shook his head: "Not sleepy."

Jimo Yi: "Then wait."

"..."

This waited for almost five hours, and when Jimo Er couldn't bear his temper, a sentry came back from the direction of Yehu to discredit him.

"My lord, it's time to act. Almost all the enemy troops are asleep. There are only patrols in the direction near the main road, and there are basically no ones on our side." The sentinel said.

Jimo, who was also intoxicated by the wait, regained his spirits and immediately gave the order to act.

Under the night, the Nirvana Army's tens of thousands of troops quietly approached the wild lake.
