Chapter 598: Puzzled
His Royal Highness Ruka, who thought he looked like a shaman and a god of war, but was actually like a big-headed son, left, and when he left, he also brought several bags of wolf-tooth specialty jumping rice.
Chu Ci was very enthusiastic, and Ruka's mount was full of baggage, all jumping rice.
When leaving, Luka and Chu Ci said goodbye with tears, and they had the feeling of seeing each other late.
After leaving the Sleepless Forest, Ruka picked up two grains of jumping rice and threw them into his mouth.
Broken teeth, chewing can't move, like chewing stones!
Ruka's eyes moistened.
With such a shabby gift to himself, Prince Beamon, one can imagine how poor the barbarians of the wasteland have become.
But even if he is poor, people still give him so many jumping rice, what is this, this is a light courtesy.
Looking back at the Sleepless Forest, Ruka wiped her tears.
Chieftain Wolftooth, you brother, I'm Ruka!
At this time, in the camp, the Great Chief and Chu Ci sat opposite each other, accompanied by Fiona.
"That Shabi almost made it clear just now, there are a total of 30,000 horses on Beamon's side, and they have been assembled, but the troops are divided into two ways, and only 20,000 wolf cavalry have entered the battlefield, among which there are no shamans, and there are 10,000 people, what does this mean?"
Chu Ci no longer had the underbeaten appearance of the sycophant spirit before, and his brows were furrowed.
Fiona said: "The shaman is the only one in Beamon who has mastered the power of the elements, and the only one who can fight against the elemental master and the warrior of war intent, and there is not a single shaman priest among the twenty thousand wolf cavalry, isn't it this war that Beamon doesn't want to win?"
The two of them were suspicious, and looked at the Great Chief at the same time.
What the eldest son should have said was said, and what he shouldn't have said was also set out by Chu Ci.
So all three of them knew what Beamon's side was planning.
30,000 troops were sent into the Great Wasteland, but only 20,000 participated in the battle.
These 20,000 people are the wolf cavalry of the Wolf clan, all of them are the elite of the border army, plus 10,000 barbarians, it cannot be said that they are nine out of ten against the 150,000 terran soldiers, at least the comparison of grassroots combat power is balanced.
But in many cases, this kind of battle does not rely on grassroots combat power, and elemental divisions, large-scale war equipment, and battle spirit warriors can all influence the trend of normal battles.
If the grassroots soldiers are a group of infantry with swords, then the elemental division is the fire support with AKs, and the fire support is enough to change the battle mode and victory scale of cold weapons.
On the barbarian side, except for the Wolf Tooth Tribe, there is no way to restrain the warriors and elementalists, but the great business of the Meng family is greater than that of the Shaman.
The Shaman profession is very similar to that of an Elementalist, both are elemental users.
It's just that the shamans themselves don't know the elemental secret arts, and the elemental secret arts are the elemental beasts they lead.
Shamans can use a very magical power to be a combat partner with elementalmons, while elementalmons can use a relatively single but different kind of elemental mysteries.
Looking at the border side of Beamon, there are obviously dozens of shamans, but they are not sent to the frontal battlefield, which is really puzzling.
What's even more strange is that the battle plan proposed by Ruka is not to completely annihilate the infidels and crusade the legions, but to drag out, to support the Crusade army on the Great Wasteland, and lure the enemy deep into the best, so that the Crusade Army is as far away from the border of the Principality of Celt as possible.
The Great Chief was silent, clearly unable to understand what the Beamon orcs were fighting in mind.
Chu Ci's face changed slightly: "Could it be... The 10,000 orc legions, including the shamans, want to sneak up on the hinterland of the Terrans?"
"No way. Fiona shook her head: "The strategic significance is not great, this 10,000 orc legion sneak attack on the border of the Principality of Selt, even if it succeeds, it will not be able to go deep, because the Eastern Expeditionary Army still has follow-up troops, although the number is not large, but it can also drag this 10,000 people, two days, at most, the Holy Court can mobilize a large number of high-end combat power through the elemental teleportation array to block this 10,000 Beamon army, rather than this, it is better to let this 10,000 army help the main army to win the Eastern Expeditionary Army." β
"Not bad. The Great Chief nodded in agreement: "In addition to the strategic significance, there is no possibility to implement, there are only two ways to go to the human hinterland, around the periphery of the Sleepless Forest to the south, or across the Sleepless Forest, if you go to the periphery of the Sleepless Forest, then you will definitely encounter the expeditionary force, but if you cross the Sleepless Forest, it is impossible not to greet us, because there are a large number of alien beasts in the Sleepless Forest, and they can't discern the direction after going deep, they need a guide, and they won't hide from us." β
"Great Chief. Chu Ci stared at Gustav and said with a smile: " Believe it or not, I hope that the barbarians can have a place on the continent, whether I am a human race or any other intelligent species, what I did for the Wolf Tooth Tribe, you have seen, I will not betray the Wolf Tooth Tribe, and the Wolf Tooth Tribe is facing the current predicament, the only thing that can be relied on is all the barbarian compatriots in the Great Wasteland, so, I will not betray the barbarians, on the contrary, I will try my best to make the Wasteland Barbarians stronger, I hope you can treat me as my own people, at least, in this period and this special stage, believe me, let us get through this difficult togetherγ β
Gustav was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but nodded: "I believe what you said." β
"Since you believe me, I hope you can be honest with me as well, what do you think about the Orcs?"
Gustav smiled bitterly: "Chief Wolftooth, I swear in the name of the god of the wasteland, it is a matter of the rise and fall of the barbarians, even the survival of life and death, and I have nothing to hide. β
Chu Ci turned his head and looked at Fiona.
Fiona pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"I believe in Your Excellency, Great Chief. β
After a pause, Fiona frowned: "Obviously 30,000 horses have been gathered, but only 20,000 troops have been dispatched, and the remaining 10,000 horses are neither a reserve nor a border defense, let alone a sneak attack on the hinterland of the Terrans, and they are also the main force of the trump card, what is Beamon going to do." β
Chu Ci lit a cigarette irritably.
The more I think about it, the more weird it becomes.
Normally, the only thing the Beamon orcs have to do is keep the enemy out of the country, so the only strategic goal is to fight the expeditionary force.
But in fact, the Beamon orcs are putting the cart before the horse, just dragging the Crusade army on the Great Wasteland, which is incomprehensible.
And the answer to this question lies in the army of 10,000 people with shamans.
But what are these 10,000 elite troops going to do?
If you don't enter the Great Wasteland to participate in the war, if you don't enter the second echelon, if you don't defend the border with Beamon, then what will these 10,000 people do when they are gathered?
The Great Chief was silent for a long time, and said, "I will ask Trumbusu to take some people to the Bimon border to investigate, and keep an eye on the movements of those 10,000 people at any time." β
"That's all there is to it. Chu Ci nodded and said, "I will send fifty dwarves to ride giant crows to deliver information along the way, and if there is any news, notify the Great Chief Tribe and our tribe as soon as possible." β
"Chief Wolftooth, I happened to come over today, and let's talk about the plans of our Great Chief Tribe. β
Chu Ci looked deaf, and Fiona also took out parchment and quill pens to prepare for the record.
"Beamon entered the Great Wilderness from the Sunset Grand Canyon, and the first stop of the Crusade must be you, so I want to ask you what you mean, is it all to retreat to the vicinity of the Great Chief Tribe, or is it here to start a war?"
Chu Ci knocked on the table and fell into thought.
There are pros and cons to both options.
If you go to the vicinity of the Great Chief Tribe, then the 20,000 legions of the Beamon Orcs will cooperate, and the other barbarians and Beamon will become the main force, and the pressure on the Wolftooth Tribe will be reduced a lot, but in this case, it is equivalent to losing the natural barrier and strategic depth of the Sleepless Forest.
But if it is fought at the doorstep, it will take two to three days for the Beamon orcs to come to support, as for the other barbarian tribe warriors, the devil knows if they will come to help, and even Beamon and the Great Chief tribe have given up here, and they don't want this place to become a frontal battlefield at all, and the Wolf Tooth tribe will be an outcast at that time.
Seeing that Chu Ci had a difficult choice, the big chief said: "I think, let's start fighting here!"
Chu Ci seemed to be smiling.
Fiona also raised her head, her gaze cold.
Both thought that Gustav was going to play the old trick again, as he had done decades ago, to weaken the Wolf Tooth tribe by leaving it alone.
This is not the case, the big chief said lightly: "Two days later, I will transfer all the barbarian warriors here through the battle call-up order, this time, all the barbarians will fight together with the wolftooth tribe!"
Fiona breathed a sigh of relief.
But who knew that Chu Ci looked disgusted: "It's not impossible, but they have to bring their own food." β
Gustav almost choked to death at this statement.
Is this Nima what people say, nearly 10,000 barbarians have come to protect you, and you still let us bring our own food and drink?
Fiona hurriedly said, "Then it's decided, Your Excellency the Great Chief, the tribe will prepare accordingly." β
Chu Ci: "Bring your own food... β
Fiona: "Shut up!"
Chu Ci: "Oh. β
Fiona smiled apologetically at Gustavus: "Then the command of these ten thousand barbarian warriors... β
Chu Ci looked sideways slightly.
Not to mention, it's important.
Three options, one, the Great Chieftain tribe commands all the barbarians, including the Wolf Tooth Tribe.
Second, each in charge of its own affairs, the Great Chief Tribe commands the other tribes, and the Wolf Tooth Tribe does its own thing.
Three, the Wolf Tooth Tribe commands all the barbarians, but this possibility is the least, and Gustav will not agree to it 100%.
Gustav looked at Chu Ci and said with a smile: "Chief Wolf Tooth, what do you think?"
Chu Ci flicked the cigarette ash, hehe, and didn't speak.
If the Great Chief Tribe was to be in command, he would definitely not be happy.
The first is that the warriors are definitely not happy, they think that the other clans are rice buckets, and they will definitely not be convinced, and the second is what if the big chieftain tribe makes them bad and let them be cannon fodder or deliberately consumes the tribe's combat power.
But you have to take care of your own affairs, it's more troublesome, and it's easy to interfere with each other and lose the whole battle.
If it is the third option, let the Wolf Tooth Tribe control the overall situation, it is estimated that the Great Chief Tribe is not happy, this kind of battle will definitely be recorded in history, the Great Chief Tribe does not have the right to command, not to mention, in case the Wolf Tooth Tribe is also bad, even Chu Ci himself admits that the five fingers are long and short, and when he really needs to be sent to death, he will definitely let the other tribes go up and die first.
Fiona couldn't come up with a good idea, so she could only look at Chu Ci.
Chu Ci is still a beautiful look, hehe Yile: "You ask me... Give the command to the Wolftooth Tribe, and we'll take command of all the barbarian warriors. β
"Okay. The Great Chief nodded: "Then it's decided." β
This time it was Chu Ci and Fiona's turn to be stunned.
It was originally a joke, but who knew that Gustav actually agreed.
Chu Ci looked suspicious: "You didn't laugh, did you?"
"What's there to laugh about. β
Chu Ci stared at Gustav and asked after a long time, "Why?"
"First, it is a matter of life and death for all barbarians. Grand Chief Gustav suddenly knocked on the table: "Second, the Wolftooth Tribe, under your leadership, has not encountered a single defeat. β
Chu Ci couldn't help but look at the big chief's fingers that subconsciously tapped on the stone table, and suddenly remembered the fat-headed fish spirit Wu Changfeng.
When he was in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lao Wu always knocked on the table like this and gave himself unconditional trust.
Standing up, Chu Ci took a deep breath.
"The old chief is right, there is no one more suitable to lead all the barbarians for the position of Great Chief than you. β
Gustav looked up and laughed, quite smug.
Chu Ci added: "It's just that the character is not good." β
Gustav: "... β
