Simultaneous travel: I am a talented person in all the worlds

Chapter 271 Could it be that I am ignorant of military matters?!

"Brand..."

Mo Yu muttered the name, quickly devoured the large piece of pork rib in his hand, and casually tossed it aside.
"Come on, take me to see it."

Buck paused for a moment, then looked down at the injuries on his body.

While it's unlikely he'd send it directly, given his current condition, it's really asking too much of him to be able to muster any fighting strength again.

Then, looking at Mo Yu stretching out his body, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

The high priest is warming up; is he planning to go on stage himself?

The night was deep.

The cold wind howled, stirring up fine snowflakes from the icy plain.

A towering, long city wall stretches across the frozen land, dividing the world into two parts, inside and out.

The most important barrier in the northern border of the empire—the Long Wall!
Once this thousand-mile-long wall is breached, what lies behind it is a vast, flat wilderness!

Apart from the county towns and prefectures that have been built, the vast lands in the north of the empire have no natural defenses.

At this moment, torches burned brightly atop the Changyuan city tower.

Imperial General Liva, clad in heavy silver armor, his hand on the hilt of his sword, looked down with a solemn expression at the northern army that was sweeping back like a tidal wave below the city.

The daytime battle had just ended.

After returning to his residence, before he could even remove his heavy armor and wash off the blood and exhaustion with hot water, he was urgently reported to by his personal guards!
The enemy launched a new offensive overnight!
Imperial Army Centurion Brand stood silently beside him.

Despite wearing the Imperial Armor, he did not appear to have any obvious injuries.

In reality, his battle with the barbarian general Buck during the day was far from easy; the terrifying power of Buck's giant axe had caused him considerable internal injuries.

Although this kind of injury, given some time to rest, he should be able to recover in ten days to two weeks at most.

But judging from the enemy's aggressive approach, he clearly didn't have that precious time to rest.

"General,"

After a series of grueling battles, even with Brand's naturally cheerful nature, his bloodshot eyes betrayed his deep weariness.

"The enemy's reaction this time... is very unusual."

Logically, after suffering heavy losses during the day, they should have temporarily retreated to regroup and rebuild their morale. Why would they be so eager to launch a night attack?

"Ugh"

Riva gently stroked the Imperial Arms of the Ring, Water Dragon Possession, on his left index finger, feeling equally exhausted.

The enemy general facing him, 'Gen Shi', was also a formidable opponent. Not only was his command ability extraordinary, but his swordsmanship was also superior to his own!

If he hadn't possessed the Imperial Arms of the Ring, which allowed him to manipulate liquids and launch surprise attacks, he probably would have been defeated in the daytime battle.

"Don't worry, Brand."

Liva forced a smile, patted Brand on the shoulder, and said words to reassure the troops.
"The message for help has been sent back; we just need to hold on for a little longer!"
The capital city is taking this unusual movement by the northern tribes very seriously and is planning to mobilize another 400,000 troops from various places to provide assistance. They have also transferred General Esdeath, who was originally supposed to be sent to suppress the south!
We only need to hold on for one more month at most! Victory will ultimately belong to the Empire!

Although he said that, his gaze unconsciously fell on the young figure occupying the main seat below the city wall.

That spot should have been where Master Gen was, but now, both Master Gen and Urka are standing respectfully behind that young man!

Although he had never seen him before, Riva could instantly identify the man based solely on his unusual stance and the aura he exuded.

High Priest Mo Yu!
Legend has it that he defeated Numa Seka, who already possessed the potential to become a hegemon! The true spiritual leader of the Church of the God of War!

This is also the most terrifying enemy the empire will face this time!

Although it was our first meeting, I already knew your name and the shadow of the tree!

Some people don't even need to actually take action; their mere existence is enough to instill fear in people! A name, a title, can bring a suffocating sense of oppression!

Beneath the city walls, at the very heart of the military formation.

"Changyuan... Changyuan..."

Mo Yu looked up at the magnificent dragon before her, a spectacle that could be described as a wonder, and felt a strange sense of emotion.

This reminded him of the happy times he spent building wonders while playing Paradox Interactive games.

It must be magnificent to project power and leave no room for future generations to surpass it!
Due to the extraordinary factors of advanced technology such as Imperial Arms and Danger Species, the Nagagaki in this world is significantly taller and more magnificent than the one in his 'normal' world!

Add to that the walls reinforced by the extreme cold... this is absolutely a Wall of Sighs that inspires awe and fear!

"master……"

Seeing Mo Yu's keen interest, Master Gen inwardly groaned, but steeled himself and stepped forward again to offer his advice.
"Night has fallen, and our soldiers are exhausted after repeated bloody battles in the siege! If we force an attack now, we will be at a disadvantage in terms of timing, terrain, and popular support! I'm afraid... we will hardly achieve anything!"

Although I had tried to persuade him once before, he snapped back.

But now that the enemy is at the city gates and it's time to start planning the siege, with the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers at stake and the success or failure of this southward campaign at stake, Gen Shi felt it was necessary to struggle one more time.

After all, more than a month has passed, and he has gradually adapted to this unfamiliar world and settled down here.

The rise and fall of the Church of the God of War directly affected his future circumstances.

Under these circumstances, he naturally had to consider the future of the organization and do his best. "We've been attacking the city all day, and we're really exhausted."

Mo Yu waved his hand dismissively and asked in a matter-of-fact tone:

"But think about it, they've been guarding the city all day, aren't they tired?"

"."

Upon hearing this, Master Gen almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
That's right.

The problem is, can the stamina consumption of the defending side and the attacking side be the same?!
We had to brave a hail of arrows and tumble rocks and logs to climb those cold, ten-meter-high city walls!

Not to mention that after climbing up, you'll have to face an enemy force that's well-rested and has a commanding view of you!

Although the enemy troops were also exhausted, their level of fatigue was on a completely different level!
At this point, launching a forced attack would be nothing short of suicide!
Genshi was internally cursing, but dared not utter it aloud. He could only give the tribal chief, Urka, a look.

Urka pondered for a moment.

If it were High Priest Mo Yu personally leading the charge, given Mo Yu's prestige and legends among the Luo Luo Wu tribe, it would indeed be able to maximize the fighting spirit of the warriors.

Add to that Mo Yu's extraordinary wisdom and personal bravery, and perhaps... there is a possibility that they might be able to break through in one fell swoop.

However.
"An order? What order?"

Mo Yu glanced at the old patriarch and casually said:

"You two will still be in command this battle. I'll just watch casually. You can fight however you want without worrying about me."

"?!"

Urla's face darkened, and he immediately tried to dissuade him:

"High Priest, you mustn't! Your troops have been through countless bloody battles and are already at their last gasp! They have little strength left to fight! I urge you, High Priest, to reconsider!"

Although the old clan chief Urka wasn't very good at commanding large armies, at most he could only manage around ten thousand men; any more and things would easily go wrong.

But he was still very self-aware.

Even the commanders of the Gen army, who were more capable than him, said that this battle was hopeless, and that it was even less likely that Urka would win!

"What are you afraid of!"

Mo Yu gave him a pep talk, emphasizing his motivation:

"Fighting a tired army with a tired army! Now is the perfect opportunity to catch them off guard and launch a surprise attack! The advantage is in our hands!"

"master……"

Master Gen wanted to make one last effort.

"Ok?"

Mo Yu glanced at him sideways, her eyes icy, and rebuked him sharply:
"Do you intend to disobey orders? Or perhaps... I know nothing of military affairs?!"

Genshi and Urka immediately fell silent, not daring to utter another sound.

"I am here to supervise the army! You two, quickly lead the troops to attack the city! Do not let this opportunity slip away!"

"……Yes."

"...as you command."

Left with no other choice, the two could only bow their heads and accept their orders.

As they turned to leave and make arrangements for the siege, they exchanged a quick glance, both seeing deep helplessness and confusion in each other's eyes.

They simply couldn't understand why the usually wise and brilliant High Priest would suddenly lose his mind and issue such a brainless order.
But military orders are absolute, and the two men had no choice but to obey.

Left with no other choice, the two had to suppress their doubts and anxieties and work together to carry out the plan.

With Genshi as the main general and Urka as the deputy general, they reorganized the already exhausted 30,000-strong army and began to plan a new round of... siege!
On top of the city wall.

As Liva watched the Northern Army's movements, a deep sense of bewilderment appeared in his eyes.

"what?"

He suddenly couldn't understand what his opponent was doing.

He thought the enemy's repeated night battles must be part of a conspiracy, and he racked his brains trying to figure out what the enemy's intentions were.

And then it just rushed straight up like that?
What's the difference between this and courting death? Is the enemy commander a friendly force?!

"General!"

Brand looked at the stunned Riva and whispered a reminder.

Even though he, who couldn't grasp the big picture, thought his opponent's move was pretty stupid, the opportunity was fleeting and couldn't be missed!
"Pass on my orders!"

Liva suddenly realized that his opponent's own lapse in judgment was a huge stroke of luck!
"All those who fought bravely in this battle to defend the city and were unfortunately killed or wounded will have their merits and compensation doubled!"

"The enemy is at their last gasp! This is the time for us to make our mark! Gentlemen... join me in burying these ignorant barbarians to the ground!"

"Beat the drums! Cheer them on!!"
