Chapter 1298 Winter Solstice

Regarding the situation on the front line, Iron Ax had deduced it hundreds of times with Edith.

The conclusion is that before the personnel and equipment are in place, it is difficult for the First Army to take the initiative and can only focus on defense; even if all the army is present, it must fight flexibly and try to find the enemy's main force in order to annihilate it with one blow. Once dragged into a fight in the red fog area, the situation will become extremely unfavorable.

"According to Taqila intelligence, the red mist from the obelisk will eventually spread to most of the wolf's heart," Iron Ax pointed at the red arc on the map, "So our defense line will be stretched even further than before. Long. Taking into account the early warning and preparation time, there are four cities near the arc suitable as current defensive strongholds - from east to west, they are Jinshiling, Fengxiao Fort, Xisha City and Shenchi Bay."

These four cities are connected to form a broken line across the heart of the wolf, echoing the future red mist area.

"But now the First Army does not have enough troops to defend four places at the same time, so it can only carry out key defenses. The most important strongholds among them are undoubtedly Shenchi Bay and Xisha City - they are horns to each other and are located in the Red Mist District It is at the top of the mountain, less than fifty kilometers away from the enemy's frontier. If it falls, the devil will have the opportunity to directly threaten Congshan."

"Especially Chenchi Bay." Dawn Dawn added, "It is the closest port to Congshan in Wolf Heart. Now 30% of Neverwinter City's supplies need to be transported through it. Losing Chenchi Bay means that the assembly speed will be greatly delayed. In the end, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

"There is no need to put it so euphemistically," Edith said openly, "If the devil captures Shenchi Bay now, then we have already lost half of the battle of divine will. Fortunately, the enemy may also have encountered the problem of human hands. ——After all, it is not an easy task to build an obelisk on the spine of a continent and maintain smooth transportation."

Probably only Pearl of the North dared to say the word "defeat" in such a meeting. Iron Ax coughed helplessly, "In short, we might as well assume that the devil has encountered the same problem as us and is busy in the mountains at the moment. Create a 'shortcut'. Of course, no matter what the real reason is, the First Army cannot miss this opportunity - at least until the north-south artery is connected, neither city can afford to lose."

He paused and then said, "Currently, there are three thousand troops stationed in Shenchi Bay and Xisha City, and trenches and permanent fortifications are also being built. In addition, I have also arranged a reserve team of one thousand people, located in The rear of the two cities can support the front line at any time. However, this is still not safe enough. I hope that Miss Sylvie can provide reconnaissance and early warning for Sinking Bay as she did in the past, while Miss Lightning and Maisie will be in charge of the other one."

"I see."

"no problem."

"Goo!"

The three of them responded at the same time.

"As for Jinshiling and Fengxiao Castle, I have each arranged a team of 500 people to guard them. However, these two cities are far away from the Red Mist Area. It is unlikely that the devil will launch a sudden attack. Even if there is, it will definitely be Mainly the fearsome beasts." Iron Ax gave Tilly a military salute, "So I also ask the eldest princess to take charge of the air security in this area."

Tilly nodded, "Don't worry, the Sky Knight was born to fight against the terrifying beasts."

"The last one is Grand Duke Island." Iron Ax pointed at a large island in the east of the map. "Although it will eventually be shrouded in red mist, it still has extremely high strategic value. Not connected to the land means that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Mad Demon You need to cross a strait of two to three kilometers to land on the island. Whether those spider demons have the ability to cross the river is another question. The flying terror beasts can come and go freely, but their ability to attack fortresses is limited and they will not cause too much trouble to fortifications such as bunkers. .”

"As long as Grand Duke Island is in our hands, Chenchi Bay below it will be much safer. Similarly, it can also be used as a dagger across the enemy's waist - if artillery is set up in the city, it can completely cover the entire beachhead and land within ten kilometers.”

"But it's always the red mist area..." Agatha said worriedly.

"The staff has also considered this," Northland Pearl took over the topic, "that's why the number of people defending the island has been set at five hundred. Even if it is difficult to defend against the devil's desperate attack, Shenchi Bay can dispatch ships as soon as possible. The fleet will be escorted and withdrawn. There is currently no evidence that the enemy also has a powerful fleet at sea."

"Well...can I mention something?" Wendy asked.

"Please say."

"I have stayed in the Old Holy City Monastery for more than ten years, so I remember that whether it is Wolf Heart or Everwinter, there are several roads that lead directly to the Hermes Plateau. Especially the latter, most of which are located between the mountains of Despair. Is it possible for the devil to use these mountain trails to raid Hermes? After all, the sacred stone veins are stored there."

Wendy's words caused a burst of discussion.

There is no doubt that once the devil erects an obelisk in the center of the four kingdoms, it will be much more deadly than a stronghold on the fertile plains. The red mist pouring down from the plateau will engulf this last corner of the continent, and humans will no longer have a place to hide.

"It is indeed possible, but it is not easy to achieve." Edith said with a hint of approval in her tone, "Ignoring the past two battles of divine will, the devil can only build one obelisk at a time. First of all, The distance does not allow them to dispatch a large number of troops across the desperate mountains to the Hermes Plateau. These mountain trails are not secret, and they can be monitored by setting up a few reconnaissance outposts. Once the action is exposed, the enemy will be in extreme danger. A passive situation.”

"So even if the devils want to attack the new holy city, the best they can do is to act in an elite team like they used to sneak attack on the Hidden Forest. And even if they get to Hermes, they can't quickly build an obelisk. Here comes the obelisk. Besides, Hanfeng Ridge is only one step away from the plateau, so the chance of them erecting an obelisk under Graycastle’s nose is extremely slim.”

"It turns out that the general staff has already considered this," Wendy breathed a sigh of relief, "This makes me feel relieved."

"The frontline layout of the First Army is roughly like this," Iron Ax concluded, "and we are trying to find out the whereabouts of the devil. To be honest, due to lack of intelligence and lack of manpower, the First Army has been extremely weak in the recent period. Passive. I am really happy to see you all appear. With your help, these problems can finally be made up to some extent. When the army is ready and the intelligence is sufficient, it is time for us to launch a counterattack!"

Next is the specific allocation of witches.

For example, Ye Zi stayed in Congshan and worked with Lian to transform this border mountain full of traps.

Andrea, Savi and others went to Shenchi Bay. For fighting witches, they can be found wherever the front line is.

Hummingbird and Moriel joined the logistics team, which greatly increased the loading and unloading efficiency of the harbor terminal.

Huiyin even acted as an ambassador of condolence, using singing to revive the morale of the soldiers.

In this busy and intense preparation work, autumn has completed its final journey.

On the first day of winter, the sun did not rise as usual, and scattered snowflakes floated in the sky.

The first Demonic Moon after the Divine Will appeared in the world has arrived.
