Chapter 715 Argument

"Where's the Witch Conclave? How many troops have they gathered?" Sean paid more attention to the reaction of the opponents of the new alliance.

"The Holt family on the South Island has dispatched six armies with a total of more than 30,000 people. The Harrison family on the North Island has seven armies with a total of more than 35,000 people. They are all elite mountain troops stationed at the border. Soldiers, according to the latest intelligence feedback, the middle and low-level officers in these armies all have a certain ability to cast spells. It is unlikely that they are all warlocks, so we have reason to suspect that they are equipped with enchanted equipment, or similar to combat skills. Means." Ralph replied.

"As expected, when you see their iron-clad warships, you should have expected this. We are not the only ones who are developing. I have reason to believe that this is not the full strength of the Witches' Secret Society. They also hold other trump cards in their hands. Maybe." Sean spoke highly of the Witch Secret.

After all, that is the base camp of warlocks in the whole continent, the smartest wave of people in the world.

When they showed the armored battleship, Sean knew that his evaluation was correct.

In recent years, their influence in the Byron Alliance is obviously inferior to that of the Holy See of Saint Ether. The most fundamental reason should be that their main energy is not on the mainland, but like the Commons family, they have set their sights on vast ocean.

If this is the case, their strength cannot be judged solely by the two armies of the Gemini Peninsula.

"65,000 vs. 200,000, the disparity in strength is too great, especially since they need to defend the two peninsulas. Once a full-scale war breaks out, the twin peninsulas are likely to be destroyed one by one." Ralph had a not-so-optimistic look on his face. .

"Ha..." Xiao En couldn't help laughing and said, "You are an expert in intelligence. When it comes to war, just based on your point of view just now, you are far behind. War is not a simple comparison of military strength. Come on, let me teach you a lesson."

With a wave of Sean's hand, a detailed military map of the Arshan continent appeared in front of the two of them.

With flexible fingers, this large military map is divided into two, with the Gemini Peninsula under the control of the Witches' Secret Society as the center, and the left half is further enlarged.

"Look carefully at the topography of the Gemini Peninsula, do you really think that the two peninsulas are isolated?" Sean nodded at the bay in the middle of the Gemini Peninsula, "You ignore this place and the North Sea Fleet stationed here .

Unless the Commons family can defeat the fleet of the Witch Conclave and blockade the Gemini Bay, the Gemini Peninsula will be a whole. Their troops can be quickly moved between the two islands, and the Gemini Peninsula is hilly and mountainous. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Over the years, the Witches' Secret Society has been concentrating on running this place, especially to prevent threats from the Holy See within the mainland. At least they have built a castle fortress no less than three floors deep. With only a small number of troops, they can build up defenses layer by layer. , to contain a large number of enemy forces.

If you follow what you just said about attacking one side alone, then they will definitely face the joint strength of the two major families of the Gemini Peninsula.

If the Twin Peninsula is really so easy to eat, why did they bother to form a new army? He had already raised his own elite and launched a surprise attack on it.

To win the Gemini Peninsula, the new royal family has three strategies available. "

"Which three strategies?" Ralph asked very tactfully.

"The best strategy is that the Holy New Army adopts a double-faced army to suppress all the ground troops of the Witches' Secret Society. The Lancelot royal family will raise its own navy and join forces with the Commons family and the North Sea Fleet of the Witches' Secret Society to fight at sea. .

Victory is a brilliant victory. The fleet directly stationed in the Twin Bay, completely cut off and isolated the Twin Peninsula, leaving only a small number of troops to contain a peninsula, concentrate superior forces, and launch a full-scale attack through land and sea. I believe it will take less than half a year. If the twin peninsulas are taken separately, if the defeat in the sea battle is too miserable, the secret society of witches will not even have the chance to retreat to the sea.

The defeat was only a small partial defeat. The North Sea Fleet, which needed to defend the Twin Bays, did not dare to take advantage of the victory to pursue it. They retreated to the Endless Sea, regained their momentum, and made a comeback until they were dragged down.

Ironclad battleships are powerful, but they are more difficult to build than ordinary warships, and the technical content is not high. They are nothing more than piles of resources. I believe that with the support of the new alliance, the Commons family will soon be able to imitate similar ones. Iron battleship.

Another unexpected benefit of this strategy is that they are all local wars at sea at the beginning, and the ground troops can withdraw at any time. Bystanders like us cannot easily intervene in the war.

However, in my opinion, this strategy is the most difficult to implement. It is not unexpected, but it cannot be implemented.

The Commons family is just a jackal. Let them bark and follow behind to eat carrion. Let them act as the main force and charge forward regardless of casualties. Even if it is exchanged for huge benefits, it is a possibility The sex is still great, and it is very possible to take advantage of the benefits, but there is no effort at all.

A little carelessness will pit the few sailors in the hands of the new alliance.

This is a natural defect brought about by their alliance of interests, and there is no way to overcome it. "Xiao En exudes a kind of light called wisdom. If he shakes a feather fan again, the taste of pointing the country will be even stronger.

"What about the middle strategy?" Ralph thought deeply, but didn't know what was going on.

"The medium strategy is to cooperate with sea and land. The Commons family is approaching Twin Bay, and they will have a decisive battle with the Northern Fleet to contain their sea power. The Holy New Army will divide into two groups, one heavy and one light, and the light will carry out a feint attack to contain them. One army leads the force, and the other side conducts the main attack. Let's eat the next island first.

During this process, the combination of fiction and reality, which route is the main attack and which route is the auxiliary, can be flexibly changed according to the defense situation of the Twin Peninsula. If the Witch Secret Society mobilizes troops to support the feigned attack, the feigned attack will immediately become an actual attack.

Once the Gemini Peninsula was swallowed up, the witches' conclave lost its foundation on land, and could only live in exile at sea like the Commons family.

This strategy is difficult to achieve a brilliant victory. Even if the Witches' Secret Council temporarily retreats to the sea, as long as the Byron Alliance falls into turmoil, they will be able to make a comeback.

This strategy has a certain possibility of operation, but it is still not particularly high. The main problem is whether the Commons family will show its real strength and assist.

Once they were just fishing in troubled waters, the middle strategy became the worst strategy. From the beginning to the end, the Holy New Army fought alone, and was finally dragged into the quagmire of war by the Witch Secret Society.

If the war drags on for too long, this so-called new alliance will be in danger, and all the contradictions covered by their strength will erupt and destroy them. Sean finally asked back, "Do you now understand the crux of this war?" "

"Understood, I will intensify the intelligence gathering work of the Commons family and the North Sea Fleet of the Witches' Secret Society, and pay close attention to their movements." Ralph understood.

"Now that you know the key points, let's start implementing them." Xiao En put away the military map with a wave of his hand.

Intelligence and the military are closely related. As the head of the Eternal Night Army's Intelligence and Special Warfare Department, Ralph may not be a military genius, but he can't be ignorant. He must always grasp the core of the war.

The tactics and strategies adopted by King Laurie's new alliance are different, and the Yongye army leader's response methods are naturally different.

If they can only achieve the worst level, the Yongye army leader doesn't even need to do anything, just watch the fun from the sidelines.

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first." Ralph said.

"Go." Sean nodded.

The reason why I didn't talk to Ralph about the situation on the Odin Prairie is because the situation there is special, and it is difficult for the Hawkeyes to penetrate. In this regard, the newly established air force mainly conducts aerial reconnaissance, and Sean personally follows up .

After four years of fermentation, the once paradise of the Odin orcs, the Balsin Prairie, has become a dead zone, and it is no longer a secret that a kingdom of death is rising above it.

Originally envisaged by the leader of the Yongye Army, the situation where Narentoya led her army of the dead and directly smashed through the Theodin Empire did not happen.

There is no other reason, the law of the plane itself responded.

This plane law is still relatively sound, and it cannot be dismantled casually.

If the laws of the planes were so weak, the whole world would have been torn apart countless times, so how could it survive until now.

The law of the plane has a relatively complete response mechanism, which responds according to the size of the destructive force.

Originally, Sean thought that this kind of reaction would rise in a curve, but judging from the situation of the Eastern Odin Empire, this kind of reaction mechanism was in a stepped shape.

Once it is serious enough to completely break a certain law of the plane law, it will trigger a powerful contingency mechanism.

After Narentoya's death country snowballed to a certain extent, it attracted a strong rebound from the laws of the plane.

This rebound is most strongly manifested in the fact that the concentration of the power of the plane law on the Odin Prairie is much higher than that in other places, and the climate has become very abnormal. Mostly hot.

The most direct consequence is that the land is dry and cracked, the pasture is scarce, famine is rampant, and people and animals fall in pieces.

This place has become a real hell on earth. There are only two kinds of people here, the dead and the undead, but there are no living people. The Eastern Odin Empire has completely become a thing of the past.

Don't think that this situation has no effect on the undead who don't need human food.

They were transformed by living people. If they could not find living people all over the world, neither undead nor undead soldiers would have a source of transformation.

This is only an indirect effect, and there are direct effects.

I don't know if the law of the plane is blessing the sunlight, or if there is a problem with the undead themselves, the lethality of the sunlight on them has been greatly improved.

Exposure to the sun for a long time will make them weak, and if they are exposed to the sun for a long time, it can even kill them directly.

The undead virus has become a death by sight. When the condition is not particularly serious, exposure to the sun can turn it into an ordinary virus, which is easier to carry.

Even if it is killed by the undead virus, if it is exposed to the sun, as long as it exceeds three days, the undead virus that loses the support of the host function will be killed. When the undead virus dies, the power to imprison the soul naturally does not exist. Naturally, it will no longer be automatically transformed into a walking corpse.

Once the wandering corpses no longer self-produce, the threat will be greatly reduced, and the tide of wandering corpses in the Eastern Odin Empire will naturally break through.

The danger level of the country of the dead led by Narentoya immediately dropped from the level of extermination to the level of extreme danger.

However, before the laws of the plane formed an effective suppression, Narentoya's death kingdom had expanded to a terrifying level, not only swallowing up all the territory of the Eastern Odin Empire, but also pushing the border towards the Western Odin Empire. More than a thousand kilometers.

Now the entire Odin Prairie, Narentoya's death country accounted for nearly two-thirds.

The Xiodin Empire, together with the Miracle Peninsula, only accounted for more than one-third.

Coincidentally, the City of Shadows, which has been annexed by the Eternal Night Army, is located under the border between the two, and Xiao En has to guard it carefully to prevent the undead from discovering its existence .

Once exposed, this place will inevitably face the siege of the sea of ​​undead. This place is too conducive to the living of the undead. It is estimated that they are looking for such an existence in their dreams.

The goddess of night and winter standing behind Narentoya is also not an ordinary person. Perhaps she has already accumulated rich experience in fighting against the laws of the plane.

Before the laws of the planes counterattacked on a large scale, the undead came up with a set of countermeasures - the night curtain, which can also be called the undead curtain.

The pyramids of bones made of various bones and souls form a huge magic circle, forming a black cloud curtain that can directly block the sun. This curtain is formed by magic energy, and even strong winds cannot blow it scattered.

Under the curtain of the undead, it has naturally become a fertile ground for the undead.

Now that the army of the undead is dispatched, there must be a portable undead curtain accompanying them.

This game between the laws of the plane and the undead finally reached a delicate balance in this way.

The laws of the plane are powerless to completely eradicate the undead, and its own operating mechanism does not allow this.

The most terrifying method of the undead has been greatly weakened. At least people can see a ray of hope. Although the chance of eradicating them is very small, at least there is hope.

Since most of the energy was transferred to the construction of the Undead Curtain, the advancement speed of the undead was greatly slowed down.

It gave Theodin Empire a chance to breathe.

Although the territory of the Theodin Empire has shrunk, its population has increased by a third.

Most of the survivors of the East Odin Empire ran to the West Odin Empire and surrendered unconditionally.

Narentoya's kingdom of death, although it claims to be able to make people live forever.

However, fewer people are transformed into high-level undead and immortal immortals, and more are transformed into cannon fodder of undead soldiers. Coupled with the natural fear of death, those who voluntarily surrender to her embrace unless it is a last resort, after all, are a minority. Most instincts are still run away.

For the Theodin Empire, the sudden population increase is not only not a good thing, but a huge burden.

When the Western Odin Empire conquered the Eastern Odin Empire, the knife that was stabbed in the back by the Broken Blood Fort, followed by injuries, showed up in the second year, even if a large amount of spoils were brought back from the Eastern Odin Empire, that year Winter is also particularly difficult.

In the end, it was hard to get over it, and the law of the plane arrived at the means to target the kingdom of death.

This kind of targeting must be indiscriminate and large-scale, but no matter whether this grassland is in the hands of the Death Kingdom, the East Odin Empire, or the leader of the Eternal Night Army, they will all suffer from drought.

At least 50% to 60% of the grasslands under the control of the Theodin Empire cannot be grazed.
