Chapter 206 Good news, Sunan is not here
Astral Calendar Year 1280, the Autumn Month (October).

The weather gradually became a bit chilly.

However, the situation on the Sar Plain was tense, with dark clouds covering the sky above the plain, as if foreshadowing an impending war.

Looking down from the sky, the once empty plains have been occupied by armies all over the mountains.

The two sides were clearly divided and confronted each other across several kilometers. The tense and solemn atmosphere had already scared away all the animals within a radius of dozens of kilometers.

War is about to break out.

Inside the Northwest Alliance military camp, on a slope.

A group of senior coalition leaders looked at the elite imperial army in the distance, and from time to time some of them discussed in low voices.

The coalition commander standing at the front, Edith Thurman, put down the telescope in his hand and frowned.

Only after the war with the Starry Empire actually broke out did he truly realize how terrifying the military power of this huge empire that conquered the southeast region was.

The army, led by the Black Rock Cavalry Regiment and the Golem Legion, defeated the coalition forces on the front battlefield.

If it weren't for Fakado and others who repeatedly implemented decapitation tactics and disrupted the strategic plans of the Star Empire's army, the coalition forces would probably have been defeated long ago.

But even so, the coalition forces have lost more than they have won in the battles so far.

If this continues, the situation will become increasingly unfavorable to the coalition forces.

Thinking of this, Edith couldn't help but sigh.

It would be great if the coalition also had a wizard apprentice who was good at making puppets.

Although a third-level wizard apprentice is powerful and can even influence the outcome of a small-scale war, his role is very limited in a super-large-scale war that affects the entire continent.

Unless he is like Sunan who was able to build a powerful golem army single-handedly.

Sometimes, Edith couldn't understand. Even a family with a strong foundation like the Russell family had not produced such a powerful wizard in thousands of years. How could the Southeast Region produce such a great man?

After a moment, Edith sighed, collected his thoughts, and turned to leave.

No matter what, today's war is crucial and we must win.

Otherwise, once the imperial army crossed the Sar Plain, the road for more than 3,000 kilometers thereafter would be smooth, with no natural barriers, and would be difficult to defend.

By then, the coalition's situation will only become more difficult.

When we returned to the central tent, the large tent was already full of people.

On the left are military representatives from various countries, and on the right are third-level wizard apprentices headed by Falcardo Russell.

There are a total of twenty-five level three wizard apprentices. It can be said that more than 80% of the level three wizard apprentices in the Northwest Territory are here.

Edis first nodded slightly to the wizard apprentices to show respect, then came to the top and sat down. He looked around and when he saw that everyone was there, he signaled to his deputy with his eyes to start the combat meeting.

"According to preliminary estimates, the Starry Empire has deployed as many as one million troops on the Sar Plains, including a 20,000-man Black Rock Cavalry Regiment and 10,000 stone golems."

The first words spoken by the adjutant made everyone's face change slightly.

A low gasp sound suddenly came from the tent.

"A million troops? Has the Star Empire increased its military?"

"The Black Rock Cavalry Regiment has also increased in number, to 20,000 men. This is equivalent to a regular army of 200,000 men!"

"Those 10,000 stone golems are even more troublesome. These puppets are fearless and too difficult to deal with on a frontal battlefield."

Edith seemed to have anticipated this situation. He said "quiet" and suppressed the discussions in the tent.

Being able to serve as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, he still has some prestige among generals of various countries.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Edith signaled his adjutant to continue reporting.

"The commander in charge of this war is the Duke of Brayde, and there are also the Marquis of Joton, the Marquis of Starley, the Earl of Lange, and the Earl of Crook."

The more the generals listened, the uglier their faces became.

The people mentioned by the adjutant were basically the confidants of Emperor Fanxing when he started the rebellion. They had followed Emperor Fanxing since the small Black Stone City, and developed all the way to the current Fanxing Empire.

It can be said that each of these people is a powerful general who has experienced many battles and is well-known.

Now they have gathered on the Sar Plain, which shows how much importance the Starry Empire attaches to this war.

The more this happened, the smaller their chances of winning became.

After patiently waiting for the adjutant to finish speaking, Edith spoke in a calm tone.

"I believe everyone is aware of the strategic significance of the Sar Plains. We can only win this war and cannot lose."

After saying this, Edis turned to Fakado and asked, "Mr. Fakado, what do you think?"

Edis knew very well that the key to whether the coalition could win the war did not lie with the generals present and the troops under their command.

With the coalition forces at a disadvantage in both manpower and morale, their chances of winning in a head-on battle alone were extremely slim.

The only hope to win the war ultimately lies with Fakado and others.

Fakado is over a hundred years old this year, but he looks no different from a young man in his thirties. He has fair skin and slender fingers, and it is obvious that he lives a life of luxury.

Facing Edis's question, he smiled slightly and said:

"The powerful generals of the Star Empire have all gathered on the Sar Plains. This is actually a good thing for us, isn't it?"

"As long as we seize this opportunity to wipe them out, the imperial army will be leaderless and will inevitably collapse and fall into chaos for a long time. That will be a good opportunity for the coalition forces to counterattack."

Fakado's words made the generals' eyes light up and they nodded repeatedly.

Edis was not carried away by the excitement, and said solemnly: "We have assassinated the imperial generals many times before, and the other party must have been prepared. Duke Brad and others must be heavily guarded. If we carry out the assassination now, the possibility of success is probably not high."

"indeed."

Faced with Edis's questioning, Fakado was not angry at all. Instead, he nodded in agreement and then changed the subject.

"So we don't plan to attack the military camp at night again. Instead, we plan to wait until the war starts and then go around to the rear to directly raid the imperial military camp. That will be when the defenses around Duke Brad and others will be the weakest."

Edith was slightly startled and fell into deep thought.

The plan of raiding the enemy camp from the rear while the two sides are fighting seems to be a fantasy, but when the implementers become a group of wizard apprentices, it has the possibility of success.

With the strength of Fakado and others, they can sneak into the rear of the imperial camp quietly and then launch a surprise attack.

At that time, most of the empire's troops were deployed on the battlefield, and the defenses around them were certainly not as strict as usual.

The probability of success is at least higher than launching a night attack after the Empire is prepared.

"There is another question." Edis looked serious, "What if Sunan comes too?"

"cough."

Kai Lei, who was sitting next to Fakado, coughed lightly and took over the conversation. He was the most experienced and the strongest wizard apprentice present, except for Fakado.

"During the four months we were at war with the Starry Empire, Sunan never showed up. It's probably the same now. He may not care about the war between the Starry Empire and the coalition forces."

Edith frowned slightly, but did not refute Kailei's words.

According to the intelligence they collected, Sunan did not personally take part in the war for the Star Empire to unify the southeast region.

"Besides, even if Sunan appears here, we are still capable of fighting." Kailei said here and glanced at Fakado.

They have a total of twenty-five third-level wizard apprentices. In terms of overall strength, they are much stronger than the original Parliament of Truth.

What's more, Fakado has a magical weapon inherited from the Russell family.

Even though it is a magical weapon that has been passed down for thousands of years and has been partially damaged so that its power has been greatly reduced, it is still a powerful weapon that far exceeds the glimmer-level magic items.

There is only one such thing in the entire Starlight Continent!
With this trump card, it would be fine if Sunan didn't show up. Once he does, they will definitely give the other party a big surprise.

Seeing that Fakado, Carlyle and others all looked confident, Edith nodded and said nothing more.

At this moment, a low horn sounded suddenly from outside.

Edis's expression became serious and he immediately stood up and walked out of the tent.

A soldier quickly ran over and reported: "Sir, the army of the Star Empire has been dispatched!"

Edis's eyes fixed, and he gave the order in a deep voice.

"Get ready to fight!"

He immediately turned around, bowed slightly to Fakado and the others who had come out, and said solemnly:

"Please, everyone!"

Fakado smiled slightly and said, "Sir Edis, just wait for our good news."

As the armies of both sides began to move, the Sar Plain suddenly became lively.

With the Stone Golem Legion as the vanguard, the infantry in the center, the archers in the back, and the Black Rock Cavalry Regiment guarding the two wings, waiting for an opportunity to move, the mighty and elite imperial army was like an ancient behemoth, advancing slowly and steadily towards the enemy.

The surging momentum of the army dispersed the gloomy clouds in the sky and tore a huge gap.

Watching this scene from afar, the coalition troops that had just formed their battle array were slightly agitated.

Although it was quickly calmed down, it was enough to illustrate the fear the coalition forces now felt when facing the imperial army.

Edith saw this and felt even more depressed.

Now we can only hope that the assassination attempt by Fakado and others will be a perfect success, so that the coalition forces still have hope of winning, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Taking a deep breath, Edis dispelled unnecessary thoughts and said in a deep voice:
"March!"

"March!"

The orders were passed down layer by layer, and the coalition forces quickly moved slowly, with the speed getting faster and faster.

Looking down from the sky, the two armies were like a gradually accelerating torrent, finally colliding violently in the center of the plain.

In an instant, a blinding scarlet burst out from the center of the collision, followed by deafening shouts and screams that turned into rolling waves of sound, resounding over the plain!

The stone golems brandished their iron fists, smashing the enemies into a pulp, including their armor, like giant beasts rampaging through the enemy army.

The coalition forces often have to suffer casualties dozens of times that of the stone golems before they can destroy a stone golem.

Being in the center of the battlefield where the fighting was the most intense, the casualties of the stone golems were increasing rapidly at an alarming rate, but no matter how many stone golems fell, these puppets showed no signs of retreating.

They have no fear at all and keep killing one enemy after another like cold machines.

Just as had happened many times before, faced with this kind of enemy who was not afraid of death or injury, the coalition vanguard was defeated under tremendous psychological pressure, and as the casualties increased, there was a tendency for defeat to appear.

Seeing this, Edis promptly dispatched the supervisory troops to press forward. After killing more than a dozen retreating soldiers, he finally stabilized the formation.

The rear army immediately pressed forward, and the cavalry corps also rushed out from both wings, trying to harass the imperial army and relieve the pressure on the front battlefield.

But as soon as the cavalry corps rushed out, they were confronted by the more powerful Black Rock Cavalry Regiment.

At the same time, the Empire's rear infantry also joined the battlefield.

The situation of the coalition forces remained unchanged.

Although he had expected it, Edith's heart still sank when he saw the situation.

He looked across the battlefield to the imperial camp in the distance.

at the same time.

Fakado and others also came to the rear of the imperial army camp, hid in a forest, and looked at the densely packed tents several kilometers away.

Fakado turned his head and looked at a man with an indifferent expression and skin that was so pale that it seemed transparent.

"Same old, Momir. I leave it to you."

Momir nodded without saying a word, sat cross-legged on the spot, and closed his eyes.

A strange wave emanated from him, spreading faintly to the distance.

After a while, Momir opened his eyes.

"How is it?" someone immediately asked impatiently.

Momir nodded expressionlessly: "We have found the target's location. There are twelve people in total, excluding the two hundred and twenty-three personal guards, there are a total of thirty-two puppets."

"What type of puppet?" asked Fakado.

"Two adamantium golems, five high-level iron golems, five high-level double-blade spiders, and the rest are iron golems."

After many battles with the Starry Empire, everyone has already figured out the strength level of the empire's puppets.

Hearing this, Kai Lei's expression relaxed and he said with a smile: "Not bad, it won't be difficult to break through with our strength."

Everyone smiled with ease.

Among these puppets, only the two adamantium golems posed a slight threat to them, but that was all.

"Didn't you find Sunan?" Fakado asked worriedly.

Momir shook his head, hesitated, and then said, "There are three people around those noble generals. One of them is a woman. The other two are wearing cloaks and their faces cannot be seen. But judging from their body shapes, they should also be women."

"If Sunan is here, there's no need to hide." Kailei said in a relaxed tone, "I don't think he intends to intervene in this war at all."

Fakado thought so too.

"What a shame. I really want to fight Sunan and see how powerful a real wizard is."

A tall wizard apprentice laughed.

His right arm was thicker than his left arm, and its surface was covered with fine scales.

"If you really face off against Sunan, you probably won't be able to hold out for even a minute." A wizard apprentice with good connections teased.

Fakado coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention back, and said solemnly:
"Okay, stop talking."

"Let's start the action. Our targets are the noble generals, not puppets. We should avoid a fight if possible. We should eliminate our targets as quickly as possible and leave to avoid being surrounded."

Even a third-level wizard apprentice would be in danger if surrounded by an army.

Everyone present understood this truth and nodded silently.
