Chapter 1889 Glorious Plan
In addition to summarizing the decisive battle, the General Staff Headquarters also made a preliminary plan for the future Third Battle of Divine Will.
Although the enemy's attack intention is still unclear, one thing is certain, no matter which direction the devil attacks from, Taqila should not give up. As a nail driven into the fertile plain, it can not only curb the expansion of the devil, but also serve as the cornerstone for Neverwinter to expand into wider areas. As long as Taquila is in human hands, there will be no danger of the red mist suddenly hitting the face in the northwest of Graycastle.
Therefore, it is still very necessary to restore the holy city that has been abandoned for hundreds of years into a forward fortress.
If the devil's main force still attacks from the Fertile Plains, then what the First Army has to do is to strengthen the defense of the railway line, prevent the enemy from cutting off the supply line, and actively attack its Red Mist outpost. The entire strategic plan is basically consistent with Operation Torch. Although the pressure is huge, at least it has been an experience. As long as we can withstand it, the victory of mankind is just around the corner.
To describe it simply, it is similar to a set of emoticons often seen in Roland’s later generations: Don’t be timid, just do it! If you win, cough, cough, cough, if you lose, go fishing in the sea - in short, just give it your all.
The problem lies with Wolfheart and Everwinter in the northeast.
If the enemy really breaks into the heart of the human kingdom from the spine of the continent, the battle will become an extremely troublesome problem - there are many hills in the Wolf Heart, and there are no rivers in the eternal winter. In addition, there are also the Kingdom of Dawn and two mountains in the middle. It is impossible to lay railway tracks to the north of the mainland in the short term. The two major engineering difficulties of tunnels and bridges required to cross natural hazards cannot be solved technically.
At the same time, the First Army cannot rely on the local nobles to provide logistical support. After the population plan is implemented, they will inevitably be at odds with Graycastle. Not to mention helping, they will not be surprised if they are stabbed in the back. Therefore, this part of the work can only be completed by the military itself.
From this point of view, the only reliable mode of transportation is sea transportation. The problem is that the seaport cities are concentrated on the east coast of the mainland, which is detrimental to the development of the defense line. Once the devil makes dumplings, there is no way to retreat. It's okay to hold on, but if it loses, the losses will probably be quite heavy.
In addition, in addition to fighting against the devil, the First Army also had to assume the responsibility of protecting and evacuating the people. Compared with the endless, desolate fertile plains, fighting in other countries had too many uncertainties. Because of this, the General Staff Headquarters' plan did not even include a plan involving the north, but only mentioned this possibility. Even during the previous meeting, he noticed that Edith had a dark circle on her face.
Since being deceived by Erthruk's strategy, Pearl of the North seems to be even more determined to win.
Roland put down all reports and sighed softly.
For him, it was natural to hope that the Devil would continue to attack from the Fertile Plains, but until the Lightning and Taqira detection teams got the exact information, this was by no means a matter of personal preference. Instead of worrying about the enemy's choice, it is more effective to use your own way to increase your winning rate.
Thinking of this, he stood up.
"Your Majesty?" Nightingale asked, holding the dried fish in her mouth.
"Come with me to the new research institute," Roland said slowly, "It's time to see how far Project Glory has progressed."
…
Neverwinter, North Slope Laboratory.
"Lady Anna——"
As soon as Lucia White spoke, she was interrupted by Anna, "I told you, don't call me sir."
"Yes... when I thought of you as the queen, I couldn't help but shout out." She stuck out her tongue sheepishly and put down the metal block in her hand, "I have prepared all the materials you need. If there is nothing else, …”
"Although I am the queen, you are also my partner," Anna walked forward with a smile, "Are you going to the new laboratory?"
Lucia nodded vigorously, "Well, it's almost time."
"Then go and be careful on the way." Anna walked her to the entrance of the hospital. "If you run out of magic power or have some free time, just come and stay with me."
"I will!" Lucia waved her hand, turned around and ran down the mountain road.
Her work schedule is the most changeable in the Witches' Union. She often needs to travel to the chemical laboratory, the mine furnace area, the North Slope backyard and other places. Before the new laboratory was established, she basically did not have a fixed place. Among these places, she spends the most time in the Bei Slope backyard. She fuses high-quality alloys according to Anna's ideas and requirements, and then watches the other party cut pieces of metal ingots into precise parts. This process always brings her An indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Probably because I feel that the world is becoming more and more beautiful because of my own strength in it, right?
After all, I first came to Neverwinter City just to cure my sister from the evil plague. Unexpectedly, I not only found a place for the two sisters, but also lived a life like returning home. To be honest, Lucia was a little uneasy at first. It's like I owe everyone a lot. But now, she can also become one of the contributors, assisting Her Royal Highness Anna and the Chief Alchemist in building this increasingly prosperous city, and her uneasiness has gradually turned into fulfillment and pride.
And the more she got along with Anna, the more Lucia felt the respect welling up in her heart - she had never thought that a witch could play such a big role and bring about earth-shaking changes to the city on her own. . She admired the other party's knowledge, talent, and concentration when he was engaged in work. If Nightingale is the person she trusts the most, then Her Highness Anna is the person she longs to be the most.
And now, she seems to have seen such an opportunity.
Since His Majesty built a brand new laboratory on the south bank of Chishui River, she also has her own fixed place. I heard from His Majesty that this work is related to the fate of all mankind. If the experiment goes well, everything she has done may become the biggest trump card in the battle of divine will.
Thinking of this, Lucia couldn't help but lighten her steps.
After crossing the Chishui Bridge and walking several hundred meters south along a spacious cement road, a row of towering walls appeared in front of her. Unlike those factories where people come and go, this place is located between industrial areas and farmland, and the roar of machines can hardly be heard. The shade of the trees on both sides of the road casts a cool shade on the ground. Although it has entered autumn, the leaves above the head are still lush and green. The occasional bird calls not only make it less noisy, but also highlight the tranquility and tranquility of this place.
Judging from the surrounding environment, this place is more like a residential area than a laboratory.
However, the heavily armed soldiers standing guard outside the gate proved that this was no ordinary courtyard.
When Lucia walked towards the courtyard door, the soldier raised his hand to salute her, turned around and pushed open the door control.
And this is just the first hurdle.
The defense inside is even tighter. Walls divide the compound into several areas. Except for a few people, all other people must verify their identity and be accompanied by guards.
Lucia is naturally one of the former.
She greeted the soldiers with a smile, and after passing several checkpoints, she finally came to a brick house painted white.
The house looks similar to an ordinary residential building, with a lot of ivy growing on the walls. The only difference is that there is a golden plaque hanging next to the door with a few large characters engraved on it -
"Neverwinter Institute of High Energy Physics".
