670: C670 Eerie

C670 Eerie

After Jiang Liqiu heard these words, he also felt that he had neglected Han Ziqi, hence he awkwardly smiled and continued to speak: "Right, right, let's enter the city first. Everyone, since you have travelled here from afar, you must definitely be very tired.0

Han Ziqi shook his head and said: "It's alright, although we have been hurrying on our journey, we have not exhausted ourselves too much. Compared to you soldiers who have been guarding the city here, we are still considered more relaxed, we should first study the situation of the battle, and after that, we can study and rest, this way we can sleep more peacefully."

Han Ziqi was a very pragmatic general, so he immediately started thinking about what he would do next.

After Jiang Liqiu heard this, he nodded and said, "Alright, let's talk inside the city." After he finished speaking, Jiang Liqiu brought a type of person into the Shiva City, and then sent people to the place where the Alchemy and crafting were first, and then he brought the rest of the people to the City Lord's Mansion.

Because of the battle, the City Lord's Mansion had given up their command center.

After arriving at the Main Hall of the City Lord's Palace, Jiang Liqiu first introduced Han Ziqi to his group of vice generals, then had Han Ziqi sit at the main seat.

Only after Han Ziqi sat down did he blandly say: "General Jiang, tell me about your current situation and the things that the other party has been doing these past few days."

Jiang Liqiu immediately said: "Okay, this time Xiao Wu Kingdom's attack was very sudden and her movements were also very secretive, causing us to immediately launch a sneak attack without any reaction, causing us to lose the border fort and land right here. After that, they all directly charged towards Shiva City's direction."

Hearing that, Han Ziqi interrupted Jiang Liqiu and asked: "General Jiang, you said they launched a surprise attack, what do you mean?"

Jiang Liqiu sighed, then said: "The first time they attacked, they used some strong experts, catching us unprepared, and then pressing us down with their troops. We simply did not have enough time to increase our numbers, so …"

Han Ziqi said angrily: "Xiao Wu Kingdom is really going too far, to actually use such an offensive method, it is simply going too far."

Jiang Liqiu said: "Indeed, they did not care about the agreement between the two countries and ambushed them, but what I find strange is, how did they suddenly move their troops to the border?"

Han Ziqi squinted his eyes, then said: "This point is indeed very strange, if we were to mobilize troops on a large scale, it is impossible for us to not get any news at all, could it be that they used some kind of special method?"

Wen Ansheng said at this time: "There is indeed such a method, such as a formation, such as a camouflage technique, or a rune formation, but no matter what, if one were to carefully feel it, they would be able to feel it. I think it's probably because there haven't been any large scale wars in the past few years and everyone's lives were simply too peaceful, thus their vigilance was lowered, which led to this kind of result." His voice was very soft, but it gave off a sense of pressure.

After Jiang Liqiu heard this, he also lowered his head. Actually, there was a possibility of it happening, so he also spoke with a slightly apologetic tone, "It was our negligence. If we had discovered the movements of the Xiao Wu Kingdom earlier, then we wouldn't have suffered such a great loss."

Han Ziqi said indifferently: "I can't blame you, after all the person controlling the information isn't you."

"But I'm a border guard general after all."

"Like I said, this can't all be your fault. Besides, this responsibility isn't something that you can pay with influence. What you should be thinking about now is how you could deserve this war's rewards."

Jiang Liqiu's mind shook, and then, he said. "Yes, I understand."

"Alright, go on."

Jiang Liqiu immediately said: "After they broke through Landing Town, the army split into three groups and charged straight in. Because Landing Town is our defensive barrier, Landing Town's defense caused everyone to fall into panic, but the Xiao Wu Kingdom's offense was too sharp, so we didn't manage to organize an effective defense during the entire journey, and so we consecutively lost a few cities."

"But speaking of this, Xiao Wu Kingdom's attack this time is also very strange. When they attacked Qiuyang City, their speed suddenly slowed down, as if they were adjusting, but it doesn't seem like they were adjusting at all. This also gave us some time to catch our breath, allowing us to organize an effective attack.

After saying that, Jiang Liqiu's face became bitter, then continued to speak: "But the opponent's general level abilities are truly too strong, although we have a certain level of defensive capabilities, but because Qiu Yang City's terrain is too open, making it hard to defend, adding the enemy's general level of power, as well as their consecutive victories, we lost a few cities in succession, and only after reaching Shiva City did we finally be able to stabilize ourselves, and fought against them for a few rounds."

"However, they are no longer attacking, but taking the stance of defending, but instead, the Zhen Xing City in front of us, is the same as us, a city that is easy to defend and hard to attack. We have launched several attacks but have not been able to attack the Zhen Xing City, so we are in a stalemate here."

After Han Ziqi heard this, he frowned and said, "Their attack this time was indeed strange. According to what you said, they did not receive much resistance. They should have taken advantage of the situation to chase after him. Do they have another purpose? "

Jiang Liqiu shook his head and said: "We don't know about that, but I am certain of one thing, they want to completely occupy the cities and territories that we have seized. Also, there is another point that makes me feel that it's extremely strange?"
