Chapter 1094 Transfer Contract
Graycastle, Neverwinter City.
Roland was sitting at his desk, answering calls from the Fertile Plains front line.
Of course, it is not entirely accurate to say that it is the front line. In terms of the attenuation speed of the signal, it is at best enough to communicate between Neverwinter and Changge. Before the invention of the continuous amplifier, this was also the limit of hand-crank telephone communication. .
But this does not mean that this limit cannot be overcome.
The simplest way is to let Ye Zi serve as a "relay". In the state of the heart of the forest, her consciousness can cover the entire controlled hidden forest, which means that the speed of transmitting messages can even reach the speed of lightning flying at the speed of sound. above. The frontline only needs to call Ye Zi, and then Ye Zi will call and relay it to Roland. In a sense, it can be regarded as real-time communication.
"The current situation is quite smooth," Ye Zi lowered his voice and imitated Iron Ax's tone. "As you expected, the devil launched several sabotage attacks on the railway tracks, but it did not have a big impact on logistics and transportation. . Without the Spider Demon, they can only airborne near the track, use brute force to displace it, and have to evacuate before the Black River approaches - and without the need to replace the rails, the Engineering Department will soon be able to Repair the damaged track.”
"It seems that the armored train has played its due role."
"Indeed, Your Majesty. Whether it is mobile rescue or railway maintenance, it can be used as a small fortress. The only regret is that the number of trains is still too small. If possible, I hope that between each station, there will be Arrange a group of Black River boats."
"It's easy as you think," Roland couldn't help grinning. "In addition to armored trains, freight trains must also continue to be produced, and this part of the work still requires witches. It's good to be able to provide two now. Continue to move the front Let’s move forward and strive to complete the arrangements for the general offensive before midsummer.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ye Zi replied angrily.
Actually...you don't even have to imitate the nasal sounds.
Roland coughed twice, "By the way, there are no signs of the devil launching another large-scale attack?"
A week ago, he was woken up by a nightingale late at night. When he learned about the night attack on the First Army camp, he was really nervous for a while. Fortunately, Anna told him that the loss was not big, and Edith came forward to calm people's hearts. Roland felt relieved.
In fact, fighting in no-light or low-light environments has always been the weakness of the First Army. Failure to observe the target will lead to a significant drop in the killing efficiency of thermal weapons. Tracer bullets have never been mass-produced, and target indication largely relies on witches. Ability. Unexpectedly, the devil's first active attack took place at night. Not only did he see Sylvie's magic eye thoroughly, but he also realized the nature of the gun attack, adopted a dispersed formation, and even crawled forward. Fortunately, the enemy always lacks weapons that can fight it, and the First Army has excellently implemented every requirement during emergency combat training, otherwise the result would be hard to say.
"If it is an attack like the last night attack, there are indeed no relevant signs," Ye Zi relayed, "Miss Sylvie will spend an hour or two every day to check the must-pass areas in front of the track, and at the same time, she will I will take the Magic Ark or the Seagull from time to time to go out for reconnaissance, and at least so far it is safe."
"What did the General Staff say?"
"They think there are two possibilities. One is that they have noticed the changes in our side and cannot repeat their old tricks; the other is that the devil's troops are limited and cannot plan two large-scale attacks in a short period of time."
"Really?" Roland said thoughtfully. What worried him most about the last attack was not only the opponent's amazing learning ability, but also the high-level devil as an assaulter.
And this is not the first time something like this has happened.
Now that I think about it, since meeting the first high-level devil behind the snowy mountains, Neverwinter City has dealt with this type of specially evolved devil four times. You must know that hundreds of years ago, high-level devils existed as generals of armies. The Federation could only have a chance to kill the enemy by dispatching the Holy Blessing Army and defeating the enemy head-on. But now, their status has dropped significantly, and their appearance frequency has increased significantly. This is really not good news.
An extraordinary army like the God's Punishment Army, which has nothing but brute force, can also be specifically targeted. If a group of high-level devils with various abilities break into the camp, they can only pray to the gods for protection.
Since there is no specific targeting method, all Roland can think of is a universal response - such as unremittingly pursuing more powerful firepower and completely wiping out the enemy before it initiates action.
"The devils will never sit back and let their foothold on the fertile plains be threatened by humans. Continue to remain vigilant and do not give the other side any opportunities to take advantage of them."
"Understood!" Ye Zi said loudly, and then returned to his normal tone, "Your Majesty, Iron Ax has hung up the phone."
"Huh..." Roland exhaled softly, "Then who is going to report next?"
"It's Carl Van Burt, the Minister of Construction."
Ministry of Construction? He was slightly surprised. With enough materials and manpower, there shouldn't be any difficulties in the project, so he said, "Come in."
"Your Majesty," Ye Zi imitated Karl's voice again. Although it was not as difficult to tell the authenticity as the echo, but with the swaying branches and the friction of the leaves, it actually sounded convincing, "The construction team has encountered some troubles recently. I I think we may need assistance from other departments in the Executive Office.”
This girl...couldn't she be addicted?
What the Minister of Construction wanted to report was also very simple. After that night attack, many workers were frightened and their morale was obviously reduced. In addition, railway construction is a long-term project, and many foremen have discovered that their subordinates are slacking off. Carl hopes to do a shift swap or call in relatives to boost morale.
The entire exchange is basically difficult to achieve. After all, not everyone is willing to take risks to pursue high remuneration, so Roland focused on the second method, "Relatives? I remember that there were seven workers who applied to build the railway. Cheng and above are migrants, and many of them do not have complete families. If the polarization is too obvious, I am afraid it will have a worse impact."
"I have also considered this, Your Majesty." Ye Zi replied on his behalf, "The railway engineering team issued a handover contract before setting off. I think that the handover person specified on the contract can be used to replace relatives. Since I am willing to sacrifice the queen I entrust everything to him, he must be an extremely important person in my mind, in a sense, he can be regarded as a relative."
"This is a feasible plan." Roland thought for a moment, "Then let's do it. I will arrange for Barov to do it."
