Hearing this, Nekania's expression also became a little unpleasant.
Egon Targaryen was extremely short on manpower, while Tyrosh could mobilize a large number of slave cannon fodder; this was Tyrosh's advantage.
"Regardless of whether he wants to take in that group of slaves, release the news first."
Nekania's face was gloomy.
"Just say that Egon Targaryen is going to overthrow slavery and has already taken action!
Assemble a fleet equipped with dragon bolts, dismantle the city defense crossbows and transport them to the warships, and intercept the enemy fleet at all costs.
Additionally, assemble an army of 20,000 slave soldiers, assign these slave soldiers to be managed by the garrison personnel, with each person responsible for ten slave soldiers.
The two armies will set off simultaneously. Tell the garrison personnel that they must spare no effort! Annihilate the Rebel Army as quickly as possible!
Including women and children!"
Nekania would never allow Aegon to acquire sufficient manpower, otherwise Tyrosh's advantage would soon become Tyrosh's death knell!
That was tens of thousands of slaves, plus the serfs within the Lango Highlands, totaling at least 100,000 people.
Among these 100,000 people, there were no old, weak, sick, or disabled; such slaves would not have survived until now.
Out of a full 100,000 people, nearly seventy percent were able-bodied men.
Give these people a spear, and slaves turn into slave soldiers. Coupled with the slaves' hatred for their masters, it's simply a disaster!
Nekania could accept Egon Targaryen supporting the Rebel Army, but he absolutely could not accept Egon Targaryen incorporating the Rebel Army!
If Aegon were to raise a large army and then coordinate with the magic dragons landing in Tyrosh...
Nekania's eye twitched, and he roared, "Quick, go, lead the army yourself!"
"Alright, I'll go now." Elville nodded quickly.
Leaving the underground palace, Elville immediately issued the Chief's decree and began assembling slaves.
Under the strong pressure from the garrison, whether the slave owners were willing or not, all their slaves were conscripted.
Soon, 20,000 slaves and 2,000 garrison troops were assembled.
As Elville gave the order, each slave was given a leather vest and a long spear with a wooden shaft and iron head.
"The magic dragons are about to invade our homeland, and we must fight back!"
"If we don't rise up and resist, the magic dragons' dragonflame will descend upon all of us!
Including our wives and children, our land, our houses!
Let's pick up our weapons and drive away the magic dragons!"
Elville's pre-battle mobilization was passionate and stirring, but the crowd's reaction was flat, with not even a single person voicing agreement!
Slave soldiers had no land or houses of their own, so they appeared numb.
The garrison had previously faced four magic dragons and had long been traumatized, while the Chief, who had repeatedly claimed to be with them at the time, had never shown his face.
The passionate speech did not achieve the desired effect, and Elville felt extremely awkward.
Fortunately, he had a thick enough skin and still shouted, "All troops heed the order, move out!" despite the awkwardness.
Although Elville deeply trusted Nekania, he lacked the corresponding military command ability.
The 22,000 men marched rapidly and rushed to the foot of the Lango Highlands.
Looking at the intricate footprints and the traces of fires for cooking, Elville waved his hand and ordered the entire army to charge.
"My lord, I think we should let the soldiers rest for a bit. Also, our movements are not small, the Rebel Army must have already discovered us," Taylor suggested softly.
Elville was already feeling ashamed and angry because of the pre-battle mobilization incident, and Taylor's suggestion directly hit a nerve.
"Taylor, are you teaching me how to do things?" Elville glared at Taylor, "Don't forget who supported you to become the Commander of the Tyrosh Garrison!"
Looking at Elville's gaze, which seemed to want to devour him, Taylor sighed inwardly.
"Apologies, my lord, I will organize the charge now." Taylor tried to make his tone sound as smooth as possible.
"I will command personally, you just watch." Elville glanced at Taylor and sneered.
He now found Taylor extremely displeasing; how could he still let Taylor command?
Elville took over the actual command of the army. With his order, the slave soldiers launched a charge under the coercion of the garrison.
At this moment, above the road, a five-hundred-man Rebel Army force had completed its assembly.
All five hundred men were armed with iron weapons and wore leather armor; a very few exceptionally strong ones even wore iron armor, clearly the elites of the Rebel Army.
"Brothers, Sam has gone back to report. They've traveled a long distance and definitely need to rest and set up camp now. We just need to keep a close eye on them."
After reassuring everyone, Kress began deploying defenses.
Five hundred men defending an uphill road that was at most slightly over ten meters wide was not particularly difficult.
As long as follow-up support arrived in time, even if the enemy had tens of thousands of people, it would be useless.
If it hadn't been for that gold dragon descending from the sky and tearing open the slave masters' defense line, they probably wouldn't have been able to capture the self-sufficient Lango Highlands even now.
Kress divided the five hundred men into ten groups, with two groups cooperating and rotating every so often.
Barring any accidents, they would be able to hold out until the main force arrived.
However, just as Kress was arranging the defenses, movement suddenly came from below the highlands.
Kress was startled and suddenly turned to look.
He saw that a wave of slave soldiers had already launched a charge.
"Are these people crazy?" Kress was puzzled.
The road up to the Lango Highlands was well over a hundred meters long, with a considerable slope. Charging directly without resting?
However, since the enemy had already launched a charge, Kress no longer hesitated and ordered the first and second groups to form ranks and defend.
The war between the rebellious slaves and the slave soldiers was on the verge of breaking out!
