Chapter 1025
"What are you going to do?"
On the city wall of the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain, before the complexion pale machete female grandfather rushed down the stairs, the black hair wizard just Be the first to stop in front of her.
"What...Are you really asking or pretending to be stupid?"
Salika's right hand pressed the handle of the knife, and stared at Loren with a look of cannibalism: "Site ·Blaha is dead, more than a thousand Poi people are dead, you still ask, still standing here asking?!"
"I'm asking you, what do you want to do?"
Ignoring Emperor Connold and Drexis in front of him, plus a group of bodyguards behind him, Loren still said in a calm tone: "Make it clear, otherwise I won't let you leave."
"Don't let me leave...who do you think you are?!"
pa!
The right hand of the angry Salika is holding the handle of the knife, and the blade has not been out of the sheath. , Loren preemptively pressed her wrist, forced her to loosen the handle of the knife, and lifted it up like a question; the fragile joints "creaked" in the hands of the black hair wizard.
In a flash scene, watch the frowned Dresis.
"Hold hard, if you have the ability, you can squeeze my right hand off, otherwise you will loosen it!"
Clearly on the verge of dislocation, the angry grandfather with the scimitar is still there She didn't even frown, but calmed her a little bit: "Unless you kill me, don't want to stop me from saving them!"
"Save who?" Loren still asked.
"Nonsense, of course Sete Braha, and those bastards who were taken away by him!"
"Sette Braha is dead, There are more than a thousand Boys... also dead."
"I don’t care, anyway, living, then must see the person! I’m their grand prince, I can’t just do it like that. They just leave it on the ice sheet and don’t ask!"
"You also know that you are Grand Duke Poye—if this is the case, you should calm down and think about what to do; instead of just letting it go. Asked charge ahead."
black hair wizard coldly said: "Besides, this is a war between the Empire and the Azores Kingdom, and you have no right to take Poi’s hussars away without permission. The fortress, go to war with them."
"I understand, you don't need to tell me!" Angrily interrupted Loren, Salika opened angrily: "I only want my guard silver armor to ride. Three hundred people are enough; there are also some Fiends you brought to lend, I promise to pay you back?!"
"This..."
The brows are tight As soon as the frowning Dresis wanted to come forward, he was stopped by Connold, who was beside him, raising his hand, and a glance in his eyes motioned him to retreat.
"Even if Lord Loren agrees, I cannot allow you to leave, Sarika Jonah."
The expressionless Connold stepped forward two steps and stood there. Between the black hair wizard and the grand prince, the scarlet eyes looked at the two people at the same time: "Even if you are going to regard your vows as correct, please don't forget that it is not just you fighting the enemy at the moment."
"If we lose and the Fortress of Duanjieshan falls, it is not only the Sackland people who die-Boi to the east and Byrne to the south; think about your own country!"
“Also don’t forget, in addition to the warriors of Boi, there are more than two hundred heroic fortress rangers who died in the battle, as well as the church leader of the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain, the one who has been here for several decades. Swear to Lord Knight Nazer."
"Do we all have to charge ahead irresponsibly to take revenge and make their sacrifices completely worthless, right?!"
Salika Jonah gritted her teeth in the face of Connold’s loud rebuke, neither refuting nor admitting.
But Loren knows very well that she has been persuaded. It is already extremely difficult for this fair and reasonable character of the scimitar grandfather to let her patiently listen to others.
"The current situation is that our strategic purpose has been detected by the enemy, and a powerful mobile force has been encircled and annihilated by the enemy, and it is very likely that the entire army has been wiped out."
After seeing Sarika calm down, Connold opened the mouth and said in a deep voice: "Even if it didn't, this army must have lost the amount of battle strength, and it is impossible to enter the battle again."
"So the current situation is like this-our outlying reconnaissance stronghold was removed by the enemy one after another, and the only enemy target that was detected was a trap, and we lost a powerful mobile army; as for their true main position , And what they are doing... there is no way of knowing."
"So, what are you going to do next?"
Salika’s tone still has several points of unpleasant, but Still holding back his anger: "Form another patrol? No problem, leave it to me this time!"
"No, Sarika, you misunderstood."
The black hair wizard opened her right hand lightly, with a slightly unnatural expression: "It's not what we are going to do, but the enemy...or what Xiong Yingwang is going to do."
Huh?
The Machete Grand Duke looked confused.
"Let me put it another way..." Loren sighed then said: "They pulled out all of our investigation sites before, for what?"
"To make us blind With the deaf!"
Salika had an expression of "You don't understand this".
"Yes, but this is also equivalent to exposing their marching route; so they deliberately released a small army to attract our attention, let us think: Oh, the original route is just a cover , I want to lure us into the bait."
Loren explained patiently: "So what do they want us to do?"
"Look at this army and think of a way Follow or... annihilate them?" This time Sarika’s answer was not so sure: "In this way, their main army is temporarily safe."
"Yes, some cruel but sensible, most The important thing is to be able to protect their main army, which is very fragile in the blizzard, and to continue to complete the march plan without surprises."
"But the current situation is that they are deliberately using this method. The cavalry we sent was wiped out and wiped out." Loren sighed:
"Why?"
This time Sarika didn’t know how to answer, because no matter how you look at it, It's like the elves are doing contradictory things.
Let the enemy go deeper? Just kidding, this is the territory of the empire. Even in the glacier wasteland to the north, the empire army definitely knows better than these new elves warriors.
Actually, through the rangers who rushed back to report the letter, plus the travel time, the fortress can roughly infer the specific location where the battle broke out. Next, just count the enemy’s marching speed and send a team of five. An army of thousands of people should not be too easy to catch them.
Destroy the investigation system of the fortress of Duanjieshan? If it is those strongholds, it has been destroyed; if it is the cavalry...the total number of cavalry under the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain is more than 15,000, which is enough to launch a frontal attack on this 40,000-strong army.
It looks scary to wipe out an entire army, but it doesn't matter to the overall strength of the fortress at all.
Then what are they going to do?
"The previous battles, including the sacrifices of Sete Braha count and Nazer Knight elders, were all because we miscalculated the enemy's purpose." Emperor Connold coldly said:
"So the first thing we need to do now is to figure out...what are they going to do!"
black hair wizard slightly nodded.
Intelligence is always a battle, and even the absolute core of a war.
Only by knowing all the intelligence of the enemy and oneself in detail, making detailed judgments, can we formulate operations; casually throwing soldiers into a battlefield that is completely unknown, or even completely unknown, is more than misjudging the surname. As serious, even can't be called adventure.
It was a deliberate courting death.
The enemy chose the most remote battlefield, but to a certain extent it also blocked the possibility of the empire being able to detect their actions. To a certain extent, it really made the empire into a situation of "blind and deaf"; the only thing to see The seemingly safe way is to sit and wait in the fortress of Duanjieshan.
But this is definitely the result that the elves hope most-to ensure that they will not be disturbed before launching a general attack on the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain.
So being trapped in the fortress is absolutely undesirable. You must take the initiative to attack to regain the initiative in this war. This is also the only way for Connold to win back the prestige; even if it’s just a promise, he can’t Waiting for the enemy to attack.
So, if you can’t figure out the enemy’s purpose for the time being, then you must figure out another thing...
"What is our purpose and what is the enemy’s purpose? "
Connold, with a solemn expression, said what Loren had always wanted to say.
"Our goal? Of course it is to defend the fortress of Broken Border Mountain from being captured." Sarika, who was interrupted once, is no longer as anxious to say it as he did at the beginning:
"As for the gang of rabbit masters...probably, it should be to take down the fortress of Duanjieshan, then join the other two armies to the south and attack the Imperial Capital Golovin together?"
" That's not so much a goal, it's more appropriate to call it "the result that will definitely appear after the established goal is reached." Dresis, who has always been standing behind Connold, couldn't help but snatch:
"The established combat objectives should be able to be achieved step by step, and there are clear guidelines-as long as they are executed in accordance with the phalanx and each step can be completed in place, then no matter how many changes or emergencies occur, they will eventually be achieved. The inevitable result!"
"How can that kind of thing..."
The Scimitar female who was going to say "impossible" before she could finish her words, she saw it aside Her black hair wizard is watching her silently with a meaningful expression on her face.
Suddenly, Salika was speechless.
Isn’t this guy who hasn’t fought a few battles before he became a duke, who is cautious to the point of being a “coward”, isn’t it the best proof?
In the Centaur War, Byrne's strategic goal is to "assis" Boye to the final victory. Therefore, Loren Torino has been urging the previous generation of Grand Duke Boe to launch a decisive battle with the enemy’s main force in the dark. The army with Byrne cut off the enemy's supply line, prompting the decisive battle to break out in advance.
Although the final situation has changed, because of the decisive battle and the cut off supply line, the elite main force of the Centaur has indeed been eliminated; the final change is only a question of "who won this war".
No matter which result, Byrne achieved his war goal and "assisted" Boye to victory.
There is also the first battle after joining him, to rescue Thousand Tendency City-I plan to concentrate more troops to eliminate the centaur that besieged the city; but Loren Torino judges Thousand Tendency City anyway If you can't make it through then, you must advance immediately.
What I think of is "destroy the enemy, and the city can be saved", Loren Torino's point of view is "first make sure that the city will not be occupied"-Thousand Tented City was spared, indeed... only the last The result is nothing more than.
No matter what the result turns out to be-the city was not occupied, this was done; whether the remaining centaur troops were eliminated, whether there were still Poi troops stationed in the city, or even whether there were still living people These...
In fact, it really doesn't matter, because no matter what it becomes, it must be a thousand times stronger than being occupied by a centaur.
This time the Battle of Duanjieshan, I am afraid it is still the same; in Loren Torino's heart, as long as the fortress is not captured, everything else may not matter, right?
This feeling made Salika finally clear the comprehension, but it was also very uncomfortable, and her expression was even slightly distorted-because it was tantamount to admitting that she had been fighting since she was born, almost in order to become the lord of Boye. In terms of what he is best at...
It's not as good as this wizard who has never fought and only relied on others to recommend him to become a Duke!
"Actually...Salika is right."
He didn't even notice the black hair wizard whose expression on the girl next to him became "blaming", and coughed seriously. : "The enemy is in the far north, so they can only attack south-to seize the fortress of Brocade Mountain is their goal."
"As for us...the goal at this stage should be to ensure The fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain cannot fall, and we must eliminate this elven army as much as possible-the ideal goal should be to kill or capture Xiong Yingwang alive, to combat the morale of the enemy."
"So you support the defense. From the Jieshan Fortress?" Connold asked.
"No, I always think that offense is the best defense; sometimes it is very reasonable to pay some sacrifices in exchange for the initiative." Loren slowly opened the mouth and said:
"As for the enemy's purpose...whatever it is, they definitely want to disrupt our deployment; so my idea is to let him go, do whatever they like, and we will continue to follow the established plan."
"Since the enemy has eliminated the cavalry we sent to pursue, then it is better to send troops to the Valley of Blood Skeletons, build a stable fortress and outpost in the glacier wasteland, expand the scope of investigation, and make the enemy invisible!"
The words fell, and Loren stared at His Majesty the Emperor scorchingly.
Connold, who was silent for a moment, looked at the Blood Skeleton Valley in the distance, as if thinking about it for a while and then slowly speaking: "Your Floating Void City'Hornbox', how many soldiers can it carry? ?"
"About two thousand people are up and down." Loren gave the answer immediately.
"Can I park on land?"
"If the terrain is stable and strong enough...no problem."
"How many people do you need?"
"Give me all my army, and give me two thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry." Loren said solemnly: "I promise that there will be no one soldier and one soldier at the fortress of Duojieshan. The pawn rushed through the valley of blood skeletons."
"Yes!"
