"Reporting to Your Majesty, those enemy troops have indeed stopped moving. They are continuously reinforcing their city walls and gates!!"
"Are you certain??"
"After multiple confirmations, their main army is within the city. Our scouts have personally seen them!!"
"Good, then we shall attack their main army!!"
The reason the Great Emperor of the Arab Empire wanted to confirm if Lin Tian's army had moved was because he was uncertain if Lin Tian would attack their empire's capital.
Now that they had confirmed the location of Lin Tian's army and knew they could not sneak attack their capital, they no longer hesitated and directly deployed their troops.
Upon hearing their Great Emperor's words, the other generals also did not hesitate. They led their armies and set off with their Great Emperor.
Since their Great Emperor was not afraid, they naturally wouldn't be either.
Because of this, their army soon appeared before Lin Tian's army's city.
When they arrived at the city, they indeed saw Lin Tian's army still within the city, unable to sneak attack their capital.
At the same time, they also saw the presence of Lin Tian, the main general.
The Great Emperor of the Arab Empire was filled with curiosity about Lin Tian, this main general.
He had imagined what Lin Tian might look like, but he never expected Lin Tian to be so young and handsome.
Such an appearance seemed incompatible with his ruthless methods!
Therefore, he was filled with curiosity about Lin Tian.
"May I know where you come from??"
The Great Emperor of the Arab Empire asked a question that many had asked Lin Tian.
Lin Tian did not hide anything regarding this question.
"We come from a distant ancient eastern country!"
"As for coming here, we merely wish to borrow your roads to return to our ancient eastern country!!"
"To return to your ancient eastern country from here? Have you mistaken the direction? You are currently heading west, how can you return to your ancient eastern country from here??"
The Great Emperor of the Arab Empire was very taken aback by Lin Tian's words. He never expected Lin Tian to say such a thing.
He even had a whimsical thought.
Could Lin Tian's army have mistaken the direction, and thus attacked their Arab Empire?
If that were the case, not only would it be a huge misunderstanding, but their Arab Empire would be too wronged.
Therefore, the Great Emperor of the Arab Empire quickly explained:
"If you wish to return to your ancient eastern country, you should continue eastward. This is the west, not where you should be. You have mistaken the place!!"
The other generals of the Arab Empire agreed with their Great Emperor upon hearing this.
They believed that Lin Tian and his men had mistaken the direction.
Perhaps, there had been a big blunder between them.
Because of this, the people of the Arab Empire felt a sense of relief.
If it was a misunderstanding, they only needed to resolve it, and the problem would not be significant.
However, Lin Tian smiled at this moment.
"We have not mistaken!!"
"Don't you know that this world is round??"
"We have fought our way all the way from the east, continuously heading west. As long as we complete a full circle, we will return to our ancient eastern country!!"
"Therefore, there is no misunderstanding. We intend to return to our ancient eastern country by way of your Arab Empire!!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the Arab Empire were all very astonished.
None of them had ever heard of the concept that the Earth was round, so they did not know if Lin Tian's method of fighting all the way west was correct or not.
However, after their astonishment, they became angry.
Because there was no misunderstanding between them and Lin Tian's army.
Lin Tian's army intended to attack their Arab Empire.
This situation made the soldiers of the Arab Empire feel as though they had been toyed with.
Because of this, many of them were filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could attack the city defended by Lin Tian's army right now.
Even the Great Emperor of the Arab Empire had veins bulging on his forehead.
In front of everyone, he, their Great Emperor, had been played for a fool.
Such a result was difficult for anyone to accept.
However, he did not rashly begin the siege.
Instead, he addressed his army and said:
"Surround their city, cut off all contact with the outside world, see if their provisions are sufficient, and simultaneously, look for opportunities to attack them!!"
"Yes!!"
Upon this command, the three hundred thousand strong army of the Arab Empire immediately moved.
They directly surrounded the city defended by Lin Tian's army, preventing Lin Tian's army from leaving.
At the same time, they set up camp outside the city where Lin Tian and his men were located.
From their actions, it was clear that they intended to stay there for a long time and wait for an opportunity to strike Lin Tian's army.
In their opinion, this method would put immense pressure on Lin Tian's army.
However, this was merely their own conjecture.
When Wang Wu and the others saw the soldiers of the Arab Empire setting up camp beside the city, they couldn't help but show admiration.
"Your Highness, it is exactly as you said. The soldiers of the Arab Empire have appeared directly before us. They are not leaving!!"
"Indeed, Your Highness is truly prescient. Now that they have appeared here, we don't have to travel far to fight them!!"
"More importantly, we have a city to defend! With a city, we can resist an army of ten million. This kind of battlefield is very advantageous for us!!"
What Lin Tian wanted was for the Arab Empire's army to come to them and attack them.
Only then could Lin Tian rely on the sturdiness of the city to reduce the casualties of his soldiers.
He had planned for this, and the soldiers of the Arab Empire were following his plan.
For this, Wang Wu and the others were extremely impressed.
They had once again witnessed Lin Tian's strategic planning ability.
Afterwards, they actively prepared to face the Arab Empire's offensive.
These preparations also fell into the eyes of the many generals of the Arab Empire. They immediately understood what Lin Tian's army intended to do.
"Your Majesty, looking at their demeanor, they clearly do not intend to leave the city to fight us!!"
"They only have a hundred and fifty thousand troops, so naturally they are unwilling to fight us! However, they cannot possibly withstand our three hundred thousand strong army by relying on defending the city!!"
"That's right. We can fully utilize the current time to manufacture some siege weapons, and then we will surely be able to take this city with ease!!"
