Chapter 961 2 Plans
"What do you think?" Roland looked at the light curtain surging on the wall, trying to understand the devil's intentions. The Taquila survivors were undoubtedly the most vocal people. Fastest update
It's an old trick, Elxia snorted coldly. If threats don't work, it's time to use force. I have long said that threatening and applying pressure while approaching step by step is their favorite trick to deal with human overlords. If it were a witch city, the devil would just choose to kill them all.
"But your last estimate of the devil's advancement time was about half a year."
Ahem, this is calculated based on the average construction time of a large camp. Maybe they are too anxious. The latter's voice was a little awkward. Besides, the battle situation is ever-changing and it would be foolish to follow the map. I'm not asking you to relax your vigilance.
Hey, this is a big joke. It is naturally necessary to keep surveillance, but the attack plan is arranged according to the time point. If the enemy needs half a year to gain a foothold, his rails will be laid right in his face. When armored trains and rail artillery are deployed together, he doesn't believe that the devil still has the energy to drive out of the outpost.
"Elxa didn't deliberately conceal it. I agreed with her before." Agatha seemed to have noticed Roland's suspicion and said, "As for the timetable for the expansion of the red line, the Federation paid a heavy price for it. After obtaining the information, and until the destruction of the Holy City, this part of the information was never wrong, and half a year was already the devil's limit."
"So what you are saying is that the devil has now exceeded this limit, and the timetable bought with blood no longer works?" Edith said, spreading her hands. "Of course, it is not incomprehensible that ancient information from four hundred years ago has lost its effectiveness."
Roland couldn't help but feel his brows jump. If there are any ordinary people present who dare to stand up and confront the "sarcoma monster", Northland Pearl is undoubtedly one of them... Considering that he himself is not really ordinary. People, Edith can even be said to be the only one.
As expected, Elxia reacted, mortal, you!
Before she became completely angry, Pasha's voice intervened in time. Perhaps those giant skeletons made the expansion of the red line faster, but it was also possible that the devil had other purposes. If it were not for attack, the outpost could indeed be opened further. Earlier, after all, its size depends on the supply of red mist. So there is no need for you to argue about this matter. What to do depends on His Majesty the King's will.
As expected of the actual leader of the Taquila remnants, Roland nodded secretly. This speech not only eliminated possible disputes, but also took into account his feelings. Speaking is indeed an art.
But the problem in reality still exists. Whether the devil has ulterior motives or wants to attack Neverwinter City as soon as possible, this change has caused him to lose surveillance of the ruins of the Holy City. For the city of Neverwinter, there are not many countermeasures to choose from: if the phantom instrument had not been positioned incorrectly, he might be able to observe for a while to see what the devil's plan is, but now he must eradicate the demon in front of him as soon as possible. this obstacle.
"Get the First Army ready for the expedition," Roland took a deep breath, turned to Iron Ax and ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Sha Min's answer is always clear and crisp.
A bold choice, Elle praised. Covering your eyes when war comes is tantamount to suicide. We must always be aware of the enemy's movements in order to be prepared.
"Staff, come up with at least one plan before the sun goes down tomorrow," he glanced at Edith specifically, "I want to see the detailed process."
"Your Majesty," the Dawn Knight Felin Silt, who has officially transferred to another profession, looked embarrassed, "According to Miss Sylvie's information, the flying terror beast has occupied that area. There is almost no way to ensure that the First Army does not attack during the march. It will be discovered. Once exposed, we are afraid that we will be unable to move forward."
Roland also knew this, so he wanted to get a detailed deduction before departure. As the designer of the entire army's weapons, he naturally knew that Felin's statement was euphemistic enough. If the anti-aircraft machine gun cannot be set up and aimed in advance, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced. At the same time, unlike the city wall defense battle, enemies may come from all directions, which raises the barrage requirements by several levels.
In addition, if the rails are not built in place, it means that the entire logistics needs to be completed by legs--0---0---Xiao--said---this is a gorgeous dividing line--Let go of that witch 00 novel netizen Please note: Please pay attention to resting your eyes when reading for a long time. 00 Novel Recommended Reading: Rebirth of the Prime Minister's Daughter -0--0---Xiao--said---this is a gorgeous dividing line---Cheng, and if the baggage train is intercepted by a terrifying beast, the loss will definitely not be one small amount.
The distance from Neverwinter to the enemy's suspected outpost was almost 400 kilometers, minus the part through the Hidden Forest, which was 1,780 kilometers. It was absolutely impossible to cover in one day. Not only do they have to set up camps along the way, but there are more than one, and they will all be exposed to the eyes of the flying devil and become the fatal weakness of the army.
He didn't have that many Sylvie to ensure that each baggage team could avoid the devil's attack; Roland didn't have much hope that the logistics team, usually composed of new recruits, would be able to perform tenaciously after encountering an enemy sneak attack. If the logistics line collapses, let alone being unable to move even an inch, the First Army may not even be able to escape unscathed.
But the more times like this, the less hesitant he can show, "Let's make a plan first, and then we'll talk about other things after I've seen it!"
"As you command, Your Majesty." Feilin said, stroking his chest.
…
The day and night passed quickly, and the staff handed over the plan the next afternoon.
And it’s two portions.
The reporter was none other than Edith Kant.
"You didn't sleep?" Roland noticed that her eyes were slightly swollen.
"Everyone is rushing to make progress, how can I have the nerve to go back and rest alone," Edith shrugged, "Just think of it as atonement for the mistake last time."
Is this considered a criticism? Roland waved his hand indifferently and said, "Just tell the conclusion."
"Yes," she pointed to the copy on the left side of the desk, "If we follow the normal marching method, the main army will definitely be noticed by the terror beasts. How far they can go after that depends on the ability of the commander. Because There was a lack of intelligence in this area, so the staff directly assumed the worst case scenario and concluded that the First Army could achieve its goal, but it would also be defeated by the devil. About half of the five thousand troops could escape. The danger of witches It’s not big, as long as we don’t take any risks, we should all be able to return.”
"This deduction is really harsh," Roland rubbed his forehead, "Is there a logistical problem?"
"That's right," Yidi said without hesitation, "the supply route was attacked by devils, and the First Army had to divide its troops to protect it, but it is impossible to completely contain the enemy. With casualties suffered day after day, morale will deteriorate. Continuous setbacks have affected the confidence of the front line. After a week, the enemy's attacks will become more difficult to predict, and at the same time the main force begins to attack the enemy's camp. This part can be said to be the simplest part of the battle. Your army The devil's outpost was successfully destroyed, but a fire broke out in the rear."
"Neverwinter?"
"No, it's true that the Fire Devil noticed the abnormal behavior of the Hidden Forest and decided to set fire to the forest. This will make the safe channel built by Miss Ye Zi no longer exist, and if the transportation route is tripled, the First Army will completely Losing supplies and thus losing the firepower advantage over the enemy, we can only choose to break out and retreat." Edith coughed twice, "Of course, we may have set the number of devils a bit too much, but this is also uncertain. Judging from the other party’s urgent actions, they probably won’t give up their outposts easily.”
Roland couldn't help but laugh angrily, "It's okay if there are too many enemies. Who came up with the idea of setting fire to the forest?"
"Your Excellency Dawn Dawn," Edith said slowly, "But after our analysis, as long as time goes on long enough, the probability of the devil discovering something wrong with the Hidden Forest will become greater and greater, so this possibility cannot be ruled out."
Although Roland had been prepared for it, he was still a little depressed when he saw such an unoptimistic deduction for the first time. "What about the second one? Don't tell me that it has the same result. You have been busy all night, just to tell me no?"
However, he also knew that if he wanted to compete with the devil in the fertile plains, land transportation would be a problem that he would have to face sooner or later. If ammunition and food could be easily delivered to frontline soldiers, why would he have to work overtime to build a railway?
"No, Your Majesty," Northland Pearl chuckled at this time, "The second plan is indeed different. Since we can't guarantee the safety of the supply line, let's let it disappear completely."
