Chapter 853: Roland's Preparation Method
After sleeping soundly all night, the three of them set off again the next day. After half a day of flying, Lorgar finally saw the figure of the "abandoned city".
She held her breath involuntarily.
The city is too big!
Seen from the air, the land under the feet is green, almost endless, and the gray-brown walls and broken walls are mixed in the green fields. According to Lightning, the city was abandoned four hundred years ago, but until now, its incomplete outline of the city wall can still be discerned.
If estimated according to the scope of the ruins, this city is bigger than five or six iron sand cities combined, and the number of people it can accommodate is probably more than 100,000. Even if it is now a pile of fragmented wreckage, she can feel The city is as grand as it should be. If the population of the surrounding towns and villages supporting the city is estimated at a ratio of one to ten, doesn't it mean that nearly a million people once gathered in this wilderness?
This is too incredible!
A kingdom that could build such a big city, but lost to the devil?
Lorgar couldn't help thinking of what His Majesty said - "The battle of divine will is not a petty fight between two tribes, but an all-out war to determine who can survive two civilizations." She was quite angry at first It was unfair, but at this moment, he suddenly understood. And the phrase "I don't want you to die" now that I think about it, it doesn't have the meaning of deliberate intimidation at the beginning.
For some reason, the wolf girl suddenly felt much more comfortable.
Lightning made a gesture, and the three of them lowered their altitude, and finally landed on a relatively complete section of the city wall.
The top of the mottled wall is almost twenty steps wide, enough to accommodate two carriages traveling side by side. On the wall covered with moss and vines, there are still a few circular holes that can be vaguely seen, and it is unknown how much force is needed to leave such damage on the boulder.
"You should already know," the little girl walked over and said, "This place originally belonged to the last line of defense of the Witch Empire, but it's a pity that they failed to resist the devil's attack."
In other words, the witch that Ashes mentioned, who can live for more than four hundred years and never die, is actually a surviving member of the Witch Empire? It is precisely because of their destruction that there are now four kingdoms and a church that regards witches as heretics?
The wolf girl didn't ask what was on her mind. Since she had never heard the history told by the traveling merchant, even the residents of Neverwinter didn't know anything about it. The reason for the spread of the news. She always remembered that she was not a member of the Witch Union, and there was no need to know too much about some things.
She took out the map that Lightning gave her yesterday from her bosom, and spread it out in front of her eyes, "Taquila is the border area that you usually investigate? If the devil wants to attack Neverwinter, from which direction will it usually come?"
"It's possible to go to the west of the ruins, but if you want to go deep into the wild land, it will become very dangerous, even if you stay in the air, it may not be safe."
"Why?" she asked.
"Because of the fog." Maggie yelled, "Sometimes the sky is dyed red!"
"That... what?" Lorgar frowned.
"The necessities that devils need to survive are like the air we breathe." Lightning looked to the northwest, "The weather is fine today, so it looks like the sky is blue, but sometimes it is cloudy and rainy, especially when the clouds are thick , fly to a high place and you can see the red mist on the edge of the horizon. This thing is very poisonous to witches. , so we rarely cross the Taquila line.”
Then the little girl gave a general account of the devil's weaknesses.
"I see," the wolf girl shook her ears, "as long as the pipes behind them are pulled out, the devils can only be slaughtered."
"However, this is not easy to do, and like the high-level devil I mentioned last night, there are almost no flaws in the whole body." Lightning warned, "If you really encounter an enemy, it is best to retreat immediately and pass the news Tell His Majesty Roland."
"Don't worry, I have my own measure."
Lorgar patted his chest and said full of fighting spirit.
It is true that the opponent is terrifying, but it is because of this that it is worth challenging, and the strength of the group does not mean that the individual cannot be defeated. She believes that as long as the right opportunity is found, the single target can always be hunted. Even if the devil won't appear for the time being, she can still use a hybrid demonic beast as a substitute - when she was flying with Maggie, she had already seen several large demonic beasts in the jungle.
Looking at this uninhabited wilderness, Lorgar felt that he had regained the feeling of moving forward.
The greenery replaced the yellow sand, but the road became clearer and began to extend further.
It's going to be a long time here, she thought.
...
Since the order of the expedition was issued, Roland had to hold one or two meetings almost every day. Whether it was the combat strategy or the logistics transfer, he needed to nod his approval. At the beginning, he enjoyed the feeling of being in control very much, but as the content deepened and became more complicated, he felt that it was a bit overwhelming.
With the development of Neverwinter, the scope of control is no longer a single city. The plans and reports that could be completed by one person before have become the responsibility of a huge team. Faced with these trivial contents, Roland gradually had a little understanding and sympathy for those "faint monarchs" who didn't like to deal with government affairs in history - just think about it, listening to people nagging for half a day every day can't remember or understand Report, over time, there will naturally be resistance. If it wasn't for Shujuan to integrate and screen the numbers in the plan for him, he would probably also want to be a hand-off shopkeeper and leave all these to his subordinates.
After all, he was just a mechanical engineer before time travel.
Compared with complicated logistical matters, Roland paid more attention to the combat strategy formulated by the Ministry of Defense.
The main direction of the first army's attack is undoubtedly the holy city of Hermes with high walls and thick walls. Not only are there enough artillery and ammunition, but its model is also based on the experience accumulated from snow mountain exploration.
It has to be said that Pearl of the North has shown her impressive talent. In this strategy, she mentioned the concept of coordinated operations, such as using the abilities of witches and Taquila remnants to launch unexpected surprise attacks from all directions. Make the enemy unable to look at each other from head to tail, and include the sky and the ground into the attack range-although many ideas are immature, but for this era, it is extraordinary to have such a vision.
It seemed that putting her in the Ministry of Defense was indeed the right choice.
Of course, for these plans to be implemented smoothly, the key is to ensure that the Taquila God's Punishment Witch is willing to obey orders, rather than sticking to her own way when receiving orders.
In the days when everyone was busy preparing for the battle, Roland had to solve this problem first.
And the method is very simple and clear.
For example, let all the remnants who participated in the battle enter the dream world once.
