Chapter 38: Pretend to Be Weak First
"Your Highness Micah, we've already investigated."
The scout knelt at Micah's feet and reported seriously.
"There are about four hundred Dwarfs in that city."
"Other than that, the ones in the city are all old and weak. They basically have no power to resist us."
"I got it."
The General beside Micah nodded and suggested to Micah.
"Your Highness Micah, I think we should attack them directly in the current situation."
General Loren shot Micah a disgruntled look.
He had given this suggestion at least a week ago.
It was only now that he was willing to send troops. He was really speechless.
Fortunately, the Dwarfs in the city did not leave during the days when they did not send out their troops.
At that time, if all the Dwarfs in the city ran away in the next few days, his trip would be lonely.
After hearing the suggestion, Micah threw away the teacup in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.
"Since General Loren has said so, let's get ready."
Micah waved his hand and instantly called the guard who was serving him over.
"I asked you to prepare it. How's it going?"
"Reporting to Lord Micah."
The guard nodded and bowed.
"We've already gotten the cameraman controlling the crystal and the palace painters to prepare on a tall building nearby."
At this point, he pointed to the watchtower around Grape Town.
"They're all waiting on the two more distant watchtowers."
"I'm just waiting for the first moment of you charging into that town. I'll immediately turn on the camera and broadcast your heroic bearing to the Kingdom in real time!"
"The palace painters are already mixing the paint. When you bravely kill the enemy in the town, the mages will use their skills to outline the scene of you killing the enemy in the oil painting!"
"Very well."
Micah nodded in satisfaction.
That was exactly what he wanted to hear.
General Loren grabbed the military flag in his hand tightly and glanced at him even more disdainfully.
It was so annoying to have so many fancy things.
"Alright, since all the necessary preparations have been made, General, raise the flag!"
Loren straightened his arms and waved the flag in his hand.
Many soldiers who were resting immediately perked up when they saw the flag and sat up straight on their horses.
"All troops, listen up!"
Loud shouts echoed throughout the entire army.
Micah turned away, flicking his cloak behind.
"Get on your horses and head straight for Grape Town!"
"Charge!"
After saying this, Micah took the lead and pulled the reins in his hand, squeezing the stomach of the horse under him.
"Huff—!"
The horse neighed and raised its front hooves to sprint forward. It was so smug!
Looking at the Grape Town close at hand, Micah felt secretly pleased.
When his two brothers were still around, his light had always been suppressed by them and could not be released.
Now, it was time for him, this dusty pearl, to see the sun again!
…
The dark mass of Human troops flooded the entire hillside. Moon Bell stood on the watchtower near the town and watched everything from afar.
"My queen. I've roughly estimated that the Human army here is at least a million people, including the size behind."
Lilian stood beside Moon Bell and frowned, looking worriedly at the Human army in the distance.
"Alright, don't think too much."
Lillian's twin sister, Lina, grinned and poked her arm.
"It's just a million. What's there to worry about? Lillian, don't forget that we're Forbidden Spellcasters."
"Lina, even if we are Forbidden Spellcasters, we won't be able to deal with so many people at the same time."
Lillian frowned.
"Furthermore, the incantations that Teacher taught us are almost all destructive Forbidden Spells."
"We're not like Sister Ai Qing. The spells we use are very weak."
"I'm afraid that if I use too much strength like last time, I'll accidentally create another waterspout…"
"Alright, don't look so sad."
Moon Bell walked to the middle of the two.
"Although there are more than a million Humans, haven't we already hidden all the Dwarfs in Grape Town in advance?"
"As you say, Your Majesty."
Speaking of this, Lilian's brows gradually relaxed.
"Besides, you don't have to worry about your Forbidden Spell being too powerful."
Moon Bell straightened her arm and pointed at the million-strong army in the distance.
"This is the time when we need a powerful Forbidden Spell!"
"Don't be afraid. When the time comes, let go and do your best!"
"Yeah!"
Lilian's face lit up with a satisfied smile.
"Wait a minute."
"Your Majesty, you said that before we attack, we have to let the Humans attack first. You said that you have to pretend to be weak in front of them…"
"Right."
Moon Bell nodded and pointed to a line at the border.
"Do you remember the device I sent you to bury?"
"Of course I remember. That's a device personally made by Teacher."
At the mention of Fang Ping, admiration appeared on the two sisters' faces.
"That's right. We have to use that device first to pretend that we're weak!"
At this point, Moon Bell opened the interface in her mind.
She moved the horizontal bar on the panel slightly.
In an instant, a pale-colored protective shield appeared outside the city.
"This is the weakest strength I've determined after constant adjustments."
Moon Bell smiled as she looked at the army that was still rushing over.
"As long as they put in a little effort, they can easily break it."
"So crispy."
Lilian frowned at the protective shield.
"This kind, if I poke it a little, it will break like a bubble."
"Yes, but only for you."
Moon Bell nodded.
"If I were a Human, I would have bumped into it a little."
This bit of force should be enough to break this protective barrier.
Moon Bell looked down at the approaching Human cavalry.
Come on!
…
"Stop!"
As a General, Loren immediately realized that something was wrong with the town in front of him.
Just now, there was no light color around the town.
But it suddenly appeared just now.
Could it be that this was some protective barrier?
Loren frowned and backed away, leading his horse.
He had to be more vigilant.
"General Loren, what are you doing?"
When Micah saw Loren stop, he immediately made the army stop.
"Your Highness, didn't you see?"
The General raised his eyebrows and pointed at the protective shield in front of him.
"There's a protective shield here. We'd better be careful."
"Be careful of what? It's just something like a soap bubble. Are you afraid, General?"
Micah looked at the protective shield in front of him in disdain.
This protective shield looked like a soap bubble.
Moreover, it did not emit any magical aura.
It would probably open after a collision!
What was there to be afraid of!
