Chapter 1320 Focus Point

Duke Baldwin still remembers the spirited look of the gray elf leader when he met Ms. Wenna last time—it was after the alliance's circum-continental route was officially launched, and this lady came to negotiate with the empire on the continental trade on behalf of Molly Forest. Quota affairs, at that time she represented the most shrewd businessman group in the world, grasping the direction of the rise of an ancient kingdom in the new era, she was confident and full of fighting spirit, although she was petite, she was full of confidence in the negotiation An aura that no one dares to ignore.

But today, she looked extremely haggard and exhausted. This tribal leader, one of the "Five Kings" of Ogulei, hadn't had a good rest for some time, which even made Baldwin a little worried about her health.

"You may need to take a good rest first," Duke Baldwin, who personally led the army to support, couldn't help but said, "Our reconnaissance troops have not yet returned, and the main army is still gathering. You can lie down for a while at this time .”

"I've rested—but it's hard to fall asleep completely," Wenna waved her hands, her voice a little hoarse, "Grey elves are a sensitive race, and it's easy to be like this under pressure, but our actual physique The resistance is very strong, you don't have to worry about my body."

While speaking, she walked up to Baldwin and climbed onto a chair next to the tactical table with some difficulty. She turned her gaze to the map of the mountains and forests projected by the magic crystal, and said casually: "I brought a The troops of Windsong City, including the orc mercenaries and gray elf hunters on hand. Our soldiers may still be lacking in combat effectiveness, but if you want to operate in the mountains in the central and southern parts of Augure, you still need The locals helped."

"Oh, we are in need of help in this regard," Baldwin said immediately, "The situation in the south of the mountain range is still unclear. We have set up a high-power call station on the high mountain at the intersection, but we still can't contact the City of Helm We have already dispatched reconnaissance troops, but ground reconnaissance and aerial reconnaissance have just started, and there is no effective information return for the time being..."

Wen Na nodded lightly, she already understood the wonderful "holographic sand table" of the Cecil people. What was shown on the sand table was the moss forest as the starting point and extending towards the southern area of ​​Ogulei. An overview of the terrain, but except for the color and shape of the mountain pass where the main army is currently located, all the terrain extending to the south area is now in a gray and white model state-this shows that there are maps in these areas, but The real-time situation is completely unknown.

"Our current position is here," the gray elf leader pointed to the "crossing plain" marked with a green triangular tent on the map, and then pointed to a section of open road in the south, "this is the 'ancient trade road' I mentioned ——Since hundreds of years ago, this place has been the traffic artery between the gray elf merchants and the merchants of Ogulei tribes between the moss forest and the central mountainous area. In the past two years, with the prosperity of new businesses, we gray elves The renovation and widening project of the ancient commercial road has been launched. You should have noticed that there is a very straight and wide new road extending south from here, which is the unfinished 'Tribal Road'...

"This road can extend to Kelin Mountain Road, and further south is the old mountain road that has not been repaired. Your chariots cannot enter the mountain. Ordinary infantry and your light towed artillery can enter the mountain. 'Five Kings' One of the human kings, Wycliffe, should be stationed on the east side of this area...at least that was the case before the communication was lost.

"There is another branch on Kelin Mountain Road, which extends to the southeast. This road can lead to Ruby City, which is the main city of the orcs, and it is also the largest city in the central region besides the Holy Helm City. The east side of the Ruby City is the orcs. 'Holy Land' Ruby Linhai,

Crossing the Red Jade Forest Sea is the most important in-depth defense area of ​​the Ogulei Tribal Country towards the wasteland. It consists of several lines of defense, including Wolf Ridge Mountain-Echo Valley, Dark Stone Crossing-Wind Erosion Valley, and mountain barriers. It is formed by natural ridges and mountain roads and It consists of a large number of tunnels and cave systems. The main borders of Augure and the wasteland of Gondor lie at the easternmost point of this defense-in-depth zone. Standing there are Big Cat and her companions..."

"Big cat?" Duke Baldwin was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm a little confused," Wen Na immediately patted her forehead, as if she just realized that it was Duke Baldwin Franklin in front of her, "I'm talking about the orc chieftain, one of the 'Five Kings', Ms Camilla - Big Cat is her nickname, that's what I call her privately, please don't mind."

"Oh, I see—I've heard about that brave warchief," Baldwin nodded. "So what's next? What else?"

"I don't know if Camilla and her mountain warriors can hold this line of defense for a few days...but if the Red Jade City is still there, then this place can become a fulcrum," Wen Na continued, "We can rebuild here Build a defense system, and then advance eastward...

"...From here to the west, you can reach the peak of the ancestors. Stella, the king of goblins, and her golem army have guarded the holy mountain for generations. Even on the west side of the holy mountain, even if the defense line on Camilla's side has collapsed, it is impossible for those monsters to attack the Holy Helm City at this time..."

With a serious expression, Wenna told all the information she knew and what she had speculated in the past two days in detail. Duke Baldwin listened very seriously, not missing a single word, until the gray man in front of him After the elf leader's words fell, he said thoughtfully: "It sounds like the terrain on the east side of Ogulei itself is very suitable for defense..."

"Yes, a natural barrier, the layers of mountains, even if the aberrations come to climb, they will be exhausted on the road, so that we have gradually become accustomed to these 'blessings from the mountains' over hundreds of years—— No one thought that one day the monsters that would emerge from the magnificent wall would have such an astonishing scale," Wen Na sighed and shook her head, "A splash of water might not be able to break through the gully on the beach, but a huge When the waves hit, you don’t care how many ditches and bumps there are along the way, not to mention that there are still people behind this huge wave who are directing..."

Ms. Gray Elf's tone contained unconcealable self-mockery and annoyance, but it was difficult for her to express the complicated thoughts in her heart to others—she was not only annoyed by the fact that the Ogulei Tribal Nation had enjoyed peace in the past hundreds of years. recession.

When Cecil rose rapidly in the northern part of the mainland, when the two human empires underwent earth-shaking changes under the competition and pressure of the new era, when elves, dragon descendants and even dragon races all appeared on the stage of the mainland, Ogure in the mountains But it was as slow as ever, but in this slowness, the gray elves were not unresponsive, even Ogulei humans and goblins were not unresponsive—she and other "kings" had already begun to introduce technology and start buying The advanced equipment of the Northern Empire began to learn the modern military system and tactical codes. They joined the alliance, and joined the circumcontinental route and land transnational business circle...

But all this still failed to stop the natural disasters that broke out in just a few days after the magnificent wall was extinguished. The advanced equipment purchased was not fully applied to the border defense line, and the hired foreign experts could not save the eastern mountainous area. The orc corps, the limited advancement and prosperity in Holy Helm City and several tribal main cities did not change the overall backward situation of the entire tribal country, and even now that the domestic communication has been paralyzed, the tribal country can only do nothing from top to bottom—— More than 80% of the spare parts of the Magic Net system depend on imports, and they cannot be produced domestically.

National defense and people's livelihood cannot be bought by buying—it's a pity that the price of this truth is really heavy and terrible.

"Ms. Wenna?" Duke Baldwin's voice suddenly came from the side, waking up Wenna Baizhi, who was in a trance, "Are you all right? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I... no, it's nothing, I just lost my mind suddenly," Wen Na quickly woke up, she took a self-clearing spell for herself, and her eyes refocused on Baldwin Franklin's face, "Sorry, you just now Where did it go?"

"About the current communication environment in the Ogulei area," Bodwin glanced at Wenna before continuing. He raised his finger and pointed to the magic net terminal for communication placed on the edge of the tactical table, "Now we have confirmed that The large area from the moss forest to the south is in a state of "communication pollution". The powerful energy released by the Great Wall is still bouncing and undulating among the mountains. Although there have been signs of decline during this period, this It may take some time for this kind of interference to completely disappear. However, our technicians have just discovered that this kind of interference is stronger in areas closer to the surface, and as the altitude increases, the interference also weakens...

"In view of this, we plan to temporarily set up an air relay system and try to deploy a series of floating communication stations at high altitudes to see if this can restore communication in the Ogure area, but this requires your permission first, at least It's yours...because we will let this system get closer to your holy mountain in the future."

"Is it really possible?" Wenna's eyes slowly widened when she heard the bold plan of the Grand Consul Cecil in front of her, "Setting up a communication network in the air—and in such a short period of time? Ah, I know about your dragoons, but the dragoons seem to be..."

"It's not dragoons," Baldwin laughed, "it's another kind of thing that can float in the air for a long time to serve as a stronghold in the sky, and can also land when the situation requires it to serve as a ground fortress. In addition, they also have a permanent floating At the center of the sky..."

Duke Baldwin described the "air and space battle group" with the "Dawn of the World" as the core and a large number of Gorgon combat platforms as wingmen. However, to Ms. Wenna who had never seen the real thing, she seemed to be Listen to the Arabian Nights: "...Huh?"

Baldwin thought for a while, and was considering how to explain this problem to the other party, but soon he no longer needed to explain.

Above the holographic sand table projected by the tactical table, a specially marked golden shadow suddenly appeared on the edge of the map, and a low-pitched strange humming sounded like a gigantic beast whimpering in the night sky came from nowhere. After entering the command post, the buzzing sound sounded from high above, and Wenna Baizhi's ears perked up almost instantly.

She vaguely perceived a huge existence, a magic power system that was difficult to ignore, and the huge magic power cycle like a city stimulated her keen nerves as a mage, making her suddenly widen her eyes and look at herself The Duke of Baldwin next to him—but the latter just suddenly smiled and smiled at her friendlyly: “Ah, here we come—Ms. The main force of the battle line, the most powerful air and sky fortress in the empire."

Wenna got up in a daze, climbed down from the chair, and followed Duke Baldwin with her short legs. They left the command post and came to the open space in the camp. The cold wind under the winter night was blowing from a distance. Come on, let Wenna wake up for a while, and her mind becomes more clear-headed - the next second, she followed her feeling and looked towards the far northeast.

A shimmering city slowly flew towards the moss forest in the night sky.

It is as huge as a mountain, but it is obviously not a "mountain" floating in the sky. It has a roughly hexagonal outline. Below the main body made of steel are dozens of huge luminous rings neatly arranged to support the reflection. The protruding structure of the gravity engine is arranged along the central axis of its bottom, releasing a dim brilliance in the night sky, and around the floating "steel land", there are countless hideous giant cannons, neatly arranged projectors, and A small object like a bird attached to a giant beast suspended from the supporting structures on its sides.

Wen Na stared wide-eyed in the night for a long time before realizing with horror that those small objects hanging on the edge of the "steel land" turned out to be densely packed dragoon fighters.

She opened her mouth wide, and at this moment the huge monster was still approaching. She couldn't see the upper structure of the thing clearly from the surface, but she could still see some towering towers and walls standing on the surface of the thing, and the lights were on there. The giant beast walked around, illuminating its steel body and the buildings on its back, as well as the jungle and plains below, and bursts of low humming sounds came from the giant beast's body.

That behemoth was so awe-inspiring, and it had such a sense of presence in the night sky, that it almost completely attracted Wenna Baizhi's sight, and it took her a long time to realize another thing——

That thing is not flying alone in the sky, there are more than a dozen anti-gravity platforms floating in the night sky beside it, which are much smaller than its size, but still ten times or even dozens of times larger than the common dragoons.

There are different things placed on each platform, there are modular buildings made of steel, there are weird weapon systems, there are towering communication towers, and there are also huge factories and military depots.

On this cold winter night, the leader of the gray elves was shocked.

At the same time, in the deep defense zone in the central and eastern parts of Ogulei, the acrid gunpowder smoke and the disgusting smell of corruption once again spread among the mountains.

The drums of war are beating, thunder and flames are reveling on the land, the mountains will be engulfed in flames, and the filthy monsters have returned.

Those deformed bodies that once retreated completed their rest and reorganization under the control of the commander behind them. Before the morning sun once again illuminated the mountains of Ogure, these enemies of civilization that emerged from the wasteland launched their own The largest attack since the outbreak of the war.

The battle reports fed back from various fronts made the commanders behind these monsters realize where the biggest breakthrough point of the wasteland defense line is. They are concentrating their huge superior forces on the western front, and the ancient mountains and mountains of Ogure The forest...is already the fattest meal in their eyes.
