199: Chapter 204 The Guards are Deployed, the Second Expeditionary Cavalry Force!
Su Yang was jolted awake from his sleep by information piercing into his mind.
He frowned, opened the information panel, and his frown deepened the more he read.
To think so much trouble had brewed after just one sleep!
Vietnam rebelled? How dare he rebel!
Su Yang stood up abruptly, threw on his clothes, and walked out of the lords residence.
This damned Vietnam really knew how to pick his timing; the Expeditionary Ranger Army just happened not to return to the Spain territory tonight.
He had ordered them to head north to investigate the cause of the Insect Swarm migration and spend the night in the wild.
Now, it would take a full eight hours to summon them back at full speed.
If Vietnam launched an attack on Spain during this time, that would be a huge problem!
Because he wanted to save money, he hadn't upgraded the electromagnetic ballista towers in the Spain territory, and the originally stationed soldiers had been transferred away, leaving only a few ballista towers in the territory.
And since he took over, the military strength of Spain had never been upgraded; there was simply no time to upgrade it now.
Even if he invested more command points to stack numbers, there would be no way out once the city walls fell.
On the other hand, Vietnam had defected to the Three-Party Alliance after rebelling, and the Three-Party Alliance would certainly be able to provide them with massive firepower support.
Although Spain had level 3 city walls, they wouldn't be able to hold out for these few hours against heavy artillery!
If Spain were captured, Great Qin would suffer a permanent debuff penalty.
He had no choice but to mobilize troops from his territory!
Su Yang flickered his thoughts and immediately summoned the guard army within his territory.
He ordered them to board the black iron chariot and set off immediately for the Spain territory.
Then, Su Yang flickered his thoughts and opened the Imperial Armor Camp panel.
It would take nearly five hours for the black iron chariot to drive there; this speed was too slow and might cause delays, and he didn't want to bear the penalty for the destruction of a vassal state.
He had to recruit a new army, a faster army!
Su Yang opened a private chat with England and typed a message; forming a unit took time, so the message had to be sent in advance.
"Try your best to block the Vietnam troops from advancing towards Spain; my troops are on the way."
Closing the panel, Su Yang didn't have time to worry about upgrading the Main Base's command points and resources, and immediately began recruiting troops.
"Mass recruitment, 50% command points reduction."
"command points - 30800."
"Level 5 Great Qin Armored Crossbowmen * 48 summoning..."
"Level 5 Great Qin potential Scout * 2 summoning..."
The Imperial Armor Camp rumbled into operation.
The Armored Crossbowmen marched out of the mechanical gate in rows.
The sounds of machinery operating and steam surging intertwined.
Once the soldiers were summoned, it was time for the warhorses; establishing a cavalry unit would consume a large amount of fuel and steel, which would impact the Main Base's upgrade.
However, this was the only choice at the moment; this was the price he had to pay for his previous carelessness!
command points were invested, and the Heavy Equipment Battalion began to roar.
The second batch of Great Qin cavalry was entering production.
"command points - 37500."
"Level 2 Improved Blazing Colt * 50 summoning..."
Neigh---
As the neighing sounded, a large group of mechanical horses rushed out of the Heavy Equipment Battalion.
The newly summoned Crossbowmen and Scouts flipped onto the horses, and the second Expeditionary Ranger Army unit was formed.
Su Yang named this mounted archery unit the Great Qin Second Expeditionary Ranger Army.
With the summoning complete, the Second Ranger Army rode out of the territory one by one under Su Yang's command.
Summoning both the Crossbowmen and the Blazing Colts took time; by this point, nearly an hour had passed since the guard army had departed.
Standing on the city wall and watching the Ranger Army disappear into the dense forest, Su Yang's eyes gradually became sharp.
Betraying the Alliance, attacking Bangladesh, disrupting his upgrade rhythm—these crimes combined were enough for Lord of Yuenan to die several times over!
He had originally intended to save Great Qin's first kill for Japan, but he hadn't expected someone else to cut in line.
They would pay a bloody price for their mistakes!
...
Vroom, vroom, vroom---
A dozen light trucks sped along the road; Lord Li Sun was rushing back to the Vietnam territory.
His betrayal might have already been exposed, and it was highly likely that the Dragon had already sent troops to reinforce.
The 20,000 command points sent by the US had arrived, and he had immediately summoned new troops to set off from Vietnam towards Spain.
His current mission was to coordinate with the Three-Party Alliance's offensive against Australia and attack Spain.
If the Dragon sent a large force to reinforce Australia, he would take Spain directly and deal the Dragon a painful blow.
If the Dragon's main force was diverted to reinforce Spain, the Three-Party Alliance would be able to retake Australia.
That way, the Dragon would suffer a double blow of debuffs and resource shortages.
And he wouldn't have to worry about the Dragon's furious revenge; he would withdraw into the lords residence, take the US's command points, retreat into the rainforest, and fight a guerrilla war against the Dragon.
The Purgatory Rainforest was the domain of the Vietnam soldiers; the Dragon could not resolve the battle quickly here.
As long as he dragged the Dragon out, the main force of the Three-Party Alliance in the north could drive straight in and completely end their lives!
Lord Li Sun's eyes flickered, and a scornful smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
In the end, he was just an ignorant brat who got lucky and relied on technology to get this far.
Strong combat power wasn't everything; the human heart and strategy were the most powerful forces in this world.
Only those who could read the human heart and manipulate strategy could survive to the end in the Forbidden Ground!
Bzzzt---
The sound of static came from the radio, and Lord Li Sun picked up the communicator.
"Lord, we have encountered heavy suppression fire and cannot continue to complete the mission!"
"What kind of firepower? Is it the Dragon's troops!?"
Lord Li Sun's heart skipped a beat; how could the Dragon's troops have returned so quickly!
"Judging by the firepower, it's not the Dragon's troops; it should be the Alliance Army!"
The Alliance Army?
Lord Li Sun's eyes flickered; it seemed he hadn't wiped them out completely last time, as they had actually managed to raise another unit.
Before attacking Bangladesh, he had specifically gathered the Alliance Army for a massacre precisely because he was afraid these guys would hinder his operations like this.
But he hadn't expected these people to be able to organize another unit so quickly, and to arrive at the Vietnam territory this fast.
It seemed they hadn't been fooled for too long; they weren't too stupid after all.
As long as it wasn't the Dragon's army, it was manageable; in the rainforest, the Alliance Army had no chance of contending with the Vietnam troops.
Moreover, judging by the situation where the Alliance had raised troops to block them, the Dragon's main force was indeed in the north and couldn't provide support in time.
A smile appeared on Lord Li Sun's lips; let Vietnam be the first to sound the horn of the Dragon's destruction.
"First, deal with this bunch of trash, and then take Spain!"
