"Master is really something; with a major battle imminent, he's still so frivolous, as if nothing matters."
Back in the room, Misato Shizuku held Niu Zida on the bed.
Niu Zida cupped her fair large breasts, kissing and licking them, while Yor also cupped her own large breasts and pressed them against the back of Niu Zida's head, allowing Niu Zida to enjoy this feast of breasts.
"How could I not care?
However, it's true, as I just said, we cannot fight this battle under Duōléi City, otherwise, there will definitely be internal collaborators in the city, and it will be difficult to handle then."
"Then, Master, do you have a good strategy?"
"These knights forming the punitive army are all harboring their own ulterior motives, but they likely all want to quickly occupy Duōléi City and gain actual control of the entire territory.
We can use this point to lure the enemy deep in."
Niu Zida said this with a wicked smile, pinching Misato Shizuku's large breasts hard, making Misato Shizuku cry out in surprise.
She then gave her Master a glare, wanting Niu Zida to continue speaking, but Niu Zida had already rolled over and was lying on Yor's beautiful back, ignoring Misato Shizuku:
"There's no need to explain everything.
Besides, we still need to conduct an on-site investigation to know the situation."
After Niu Zida finished speaking, he lay on Yor's beautiful back and began to move, and for a while, the room was filled with Yor's sweet moans, while Misato Shizuku could only roll her eyes and automatically push up her buttocks from behind...
The next morning, Niu Zida took Yor and Misato Shizuku outside the city.
There were no high grounds near Duōléi City; it was a city built on a mountain terrace, with only one gate.
However, the city walls were low.
When they previously raided the city, Niu Zida had commanded the Goblins to use ropes to scale the walls and attack the castle while the main gate was attracting the attention of the thieves.
This is also why Niu Zida did not advocate defending using the city walls; these low rammed-earth walls couldn't even defend against Goblins.
If the knight's punitive army came, how could they possibly stop these people?
Most likely, they would also use the same method to infiltrate the city.
"The walls of Dore Territory are too low; they are not suitable for defensive warfare, so we can only fight the enemy in the wilderness."
After leaving Duōléi City, Yor held Niu Zida, and the three of them chatted while surveying the terrain in the mountains outside the city.
It was then that Niu Zida revealed his true intentions:
"However, Amelie is there, and I can't reveal our weaknesses."
"That Amelie doesn't necessarily like these knights forming the punitive army, does she?"
"If they enter Dore Territory, it's not impossible for Amelie to be 'suicided,' for example, being defiled and killed by brutal Goblins, and then they avenge the lord's family.
Compared to us needing her as a puppet, human knights who can inherit the territory are more likely to harm her.
Amelie would not fail to consider this."
"Then why is her attitude still so ambiguous, and she doesn't seem to like Master much?"
"Because I am a Goblin."
Niu Zida answered Yor's question with a bitter smile.
He didn't expect Niu Zida to be so direct about this, which even left Misato Shizuku, who usually liked to make sarcastic remarks, at a loss for words.
"So Master chose to fight in the wild, right?"
"Then, Yor, do you like fighting in the wild?"
"Huh? Me, I..."
"If you like it, why don't we play in the wild?"
"Master..."
Yor was still trying to answer Niu Zida's question seriously, but she snapped back to reality when Niu Zida said that with a wicked smile.
A blush of shame appeared on her fair, charming face.
Naturally, Niu Zida's teasing of his beautiful maid was met with a roll of the eyes from Misato Shizuku on the side.
"Ahem, alright, no more jokes.
Since we know that the so-called knight punitive army is coming for the inheritance of the territory, we can also exploit this weakness of theirs.
The enemy will definitely be eager to attack and enter Duōléi City as soon as possible.
Using this point means luring the enemy deep in, and then ambushing them at the right time."
"So Master, that's why you took us to survey the terrain?"
"Yes, that's also why I didn't talk about tactics last night.
If the currently neutral Amelie knew about my tactic of luring the enemy deep and leaked it to the knight punitive army in advance, then we would be in a passive position."
"Master, don't you think Amelie wouldn't side with those knights, since their threat to her might even be greater than yours?"
"That's just our rational consideration.
Who knows about other factors?
In such a matter of life and death, we cannot hand over the power to decide our own fate to others."
Hearing this, Misato Shizuku couldn't help but nod, and her admiration for Niu Zida increased a few points.
Honestly, although she usually complained and rolled her eyes at this lecherous and improper Master, after spending this time together, she now truly trusted Niu Zida's abilities at critical moments.
The next day, the three of them spent the day searching along the road leading to the city gate, and finally, not far west of the city, they saw a valley.
If one wanted to attack Duōléi City, this could be said to be the only way.
The road here was narrow, and the cliffs on both sides formed a relatively narrow passage.
Setting up an ambush here with rolling logs and boulders would certainly inflict heavy casualties on the enemy.
"Master, let's choose this as the ambush site."
"Hmm, Yor's suggestion is good."
Niu Zida and Misato Shizuku both agreed with Yor's opinion.
However, in such an easily ambushed place, the knight punitive army, being locals, wouldn't foolishly rush in and wait for an ambush.
Therefore, someone still needed to lure the enemy.
After some thought, Niu Zida decided to personally take action, leading Yor to confront the knight punitive army head-on.
"Won't this be too dangerous?"
"There's no other way.
If we don't do this, the enemy won't believe it.
And we need to bring as many people as possible, making the team appear to be deploying all its main forces, otherwise, the enemy won't believe it."
After Niu Zida briefly surveyed the terrain and confirmed there were no issues, he quickly returned.
After all, the knight punitive army had already begun to gather, and their rallying point was at the knight Sir Anfur's territory, who had the highest prestige in the family.
It was only fifty to sixty kilometers away from here.
After gathering, they could reach Duōléi City in about one or two days, so speed was essential here.
Upon returning to the city, Niu Zida ordered all knights and Militia to follow him into battle.
At the same time, he also took about 80 Goblins.
He rode Yor, leading this mixed force out to meet the knight punitive army.
Internally, he announced that the remaining Goblins would guard the city under Aponia's leadership.
In reality, these Goblins remaining behind, led by Misato Shizuku, secretly infiltrated the previously chosen ambush site to prepare rolling logs and boulders, just waiting for Niu Zida to lure the enemy there.
Aponia remained in the city, guarding Amelie, as she possessed disciplinary abilities and could control Amelie to some extent without using force, making her more convenient in terms of ability.
