"What kind of safe way?Are you going to send coalition forces in the city to reinforce the defensive line laid out by Major General Buck to the south?" Bowenwright immediately thought of the other party's plan, and immediately made it clear.

Terra and Bowenlet nodded affirmatively when they looked at each other, "In the past three years, perhaps the Consulate Building and the Congress are not worried about the city's city defense, and they have started to strengthen the city's defenses five times, and with the current solid defense system of the entire Chen Russia, we only need about 20,000 troops to block the undead legion." ”

As he spoke, he pointed first to the city of Iruk, which was prominently displayed on the map, and then to the defensive line laid out by Buck in the southern part of the city, "And here it is the opposite... The vast expanse of the plains here will make the battle extremely difficult, or... We don't have any chance of winning at all. ”

"Before you came, there were quite a few staff officers who made the same opinion. Bowenwright's face was calm, his eyes flashing to show that he was thinking quickly about a question at the moment.

"Then you..."

"Tell me, why are we allowing the Navy to advance into the Elok Territory when it is clearly undermanned?" Bowenwright said as if to himself, as if asking Tra-Rensko.

Tra Rensco was obviously stunned by the question, as a front-line commander, he had been thinking about the battle with the undead army outside the city walls recently, and he had no time to think about the overall battlefield. Bowenwright's inquiry made him immediately realize that the way he was thinking about the problem was wrong!

"Look at the distribution of the confrontation between friend and foe on the map now..."Bowenwright did not wait for Terra to answer, he pointed at the garrison of the undead legion outside the city of Iruk with his horsewhip, "Look at the defensive line arranged by the undead legion, which is a typical defensive line construction style in the old imperial period. ”

Terra didn't want to remain silent, and immediately said after hearing Bowenley's words: "The arc of defense used by Grand Duke Patved when fighting the orcs has the tightest defense system, and it can be used at any time to stab the enemy in the heart with a sharp blade. ”

Bowenwright smiled happily at this time, and turned his head to look at Terra and asked, "There is a fatal flaw in this arrangement, haven't you forgotten?"

"Behind it is the Achilles' heel. Pointing to the open area behind the Undead Legion's garrison, Tra said, "But the rear of the 'Castle of Death' in Muvet-Fileh is less than five hundred miles, and the mobile force can reach it in half a day at most. ”

"That's for the best... I need them to move, not to be like a stagnant pool of water. Bowenwright pointed to the current offensive and defensive maps of the map, "With the current state of the Elluk Leader, I really can't find any way to win." ”

"So..."

"I thought I made it clear to you yesterday. Bowenright interrupted what Terra was about to say.

"I think I can understand your plan, but why is it so urgent, and I don't think there's anything wrong with sending the city's garrison soldiers to move towards this line. ”

"Weren't you more anxious than I was before?"

"I was in a hurry because I thought you didn't have your mind set on this war at all. Terra shrugged, "To be honest, your performance in the first half of the month was very uneasy, but now—" he pointed to the Yekjar military port, "Why can't you wait until the reinforcements arrive to implement your plan?"

"Even if you don't want to wait," Terra didn't give Bowenwright a chance to speak this time, "you can also use coalition forces to reinforce the flanks of this line." ”

Bowenwright stubbornly shook his head and said, "Do you think that if I send the main force to the south, the undead legion will continue to let the southern territory be in our hands?"

"I understand that you are deliberately trying to show a flaw and mobilize the undead legion on the opposite side, but why should we take the risk?" Tra said as he picked up his charcoal pen and sketched on the map, "After the subsequent reinforcements arrive at the Yekjar military port, the forces we have in our hands can defeat this undead legion in a very smooth way." ”

Tra Rensco was educated as the most orthodox aristocratic in the empire from an early age, and one of his favorite words from the time he fought was... Steady!

Of course, when the differences between the abilities of the enemy and the enemy are too great, he will occasionally use more radical plans, but the current war situation in the Eluk Territory is very obvious, so he is not willing to use methods that cannot be determined.

"But with the strength of the undead legion, I don't think even if our reinforcements arrive, the chance of victory will not be very great. ”

"We have the entire Eastern Continent as the rear, and if His Majesty Peidi is determined to destroy this undead legion, it is only a matter of time before the outcome is resolved. "After learning that the Kingdom of Kruria would send follow-up reinforcements, Terra was not worried about the war at all.

Hearing this, Bowenwright looked at Terra very seriously.

"Why, am I not right?" said Terra, meeting Bowenley's gaze.

"War is not something that can be won, even if you know that you will win the war, you must do your best to win. ”

"But there's no need to risk the entire navy, right?"

"It was my decision. Bowen Wright said in a formulaic tone, "If anything goes wrong, I'll take all the blame." ”

"That's not what I meant..."

"But that's what I mean... Execute the order!"

Tra's words of continued persuasion were stuck in his throat and couldn't spit out, and he hesitated with a little embarrassment on his face and said cautiously: "Then do as you just said, and leave the decision to Major General Buck... After all, we don't know what they're going on right now, what do you think?" looked at Bowenwright's serious expression, and he unconsciously used honorifics.

"Then..."

"Sir, there is a clear letter from Major General Buck from the military port of Yekjar. Under-Chief of Staff Hades held in his hand a letter rolled together in an ordinary envelope.

Bowen Wright smiled apologetically at Terra, took the letter handed by Hades, glanced at the annotation on it, and immediately understood what was written in the letter... So, he deliberately showed a very puzzled expression and opened it in front of Tra Rensco.

The appearance of Terrah Bowen Wright, and it was a clear letter, not only did not evade it, but also deliberately stretched his neck to look at it.

"Something of great interest happened at the military port of Yekjar. Bowenwright generously introduced the contents of the letter, and handed the letter to the other party as he spoke.

Tra looked puzzled, and after taking the letter, she didn't look through it immediately, but looked at Bowenwright and asked cautiously: "Is the matter of the Yekjar Military Port related to the war of the Immortal Legion?"

"It has a little bit to do with it. Bowenwright pointed to the letter, "Why, you really don't want to see it?"

Bowenwright's urging made Terra hesitate... Eventually, though, Terra couldn't resist the temptation, shaking the rolled paper, tore the letter flat with his fingers, and lowered his head to read.

Soon, the state marshal of the Principality of Suluk had a look of shock on his face and looked up at Bowenlet. At this time, he really regretted seeing the contents of the letter, but now that he had seen half of it, he had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart and continue to look at the contents of the letter.

"Did Belén Val really die in the 'riot'?" said Terra's expression with a serious expression, and the word 'riot' in her words was very important.

"I just got the news, too. Bowenwright shrugged, "I know as much as you do... How do you think I should explain this to Archon Cove-Rambo? ”

"If Belen-Val is really connected to the Undead Legion, Cove-Rambo shouldn't be careful, but Speaker Fipert is not so easy to talk to..."Terra shook her head and looked at the dim sky outside the window, "How about I invite Cove-Rambo and Fipod-Bob for you?"

"A good idea, but is there too much time?" asked Bowen Wright.

"If it's someone else, even if it's a month in advance, it's going to be in a hurry, because they're racking their brains for the people who are going to be there, but you don't have to worry about that at all. Terra smiled, "I only need two hours to help you get this banquet done." ”

"Then everything please?"

"Don't worry!" Tella said solemnly, "You'll have a satisfying banquet in two hours." ”

...

Two hours later,

The banquet that Terra agreed to was held as scheduled, and all the nobles in Elok City, except for the front-line battle generals, were invited to a large private courtyard in Xicheng District.

At ten o'clock in the evening, when the banquet in the city was at its climax, a combat meeting was being held in a simple open-air command post on the periphery of a huge low-lying area in the southern plains nearly six hundred miles from the city of Eruk, in the temporary camp of the naval officers and men of the elven fleet and the combined naval forces of the port.

"I think we should wait until after dawn to attack, after all, the undead are more powerful at night. Buniber, the deputy commander of the harbor navy, emphasized his opinion in the standard Sooke City aristocratic tone.

"You mean to make 10,000 people wait under the dark night sky for more than ten hours before attacking?" Xiu Ze, the high-ranking priest of the elven fleet, sarcastically said in an indifferent tone, "This is really a 'good way'!"

"No need to argue. "This is not a tactical discussion, there is no need to argue," he looked down at Buniber like his master, "Gather all your soldiers and storm its perimeter from the path south of the altar in half an hour." ”

"Yes, sir!" Buniber did not dare to utter any retort, he bowed his head as soon as Nemero's order was given, and immediately prepared to leave.

"Wait... Your soldiers are commanded by the priest of Xiuze. Nemero stopped Buniber from leaving, "You stay here... My staff team needs your input. ”

Buniber suddenly raised his head and saw the elven general's cold gaze, and then quickly lowered his head, his eyes narrowed to adapt to the violently beating eyelids, and forced the doubt in his heart to conclude the order.

The elven high priest Xiu Ze glanced at Buniber with disdain, and then left briskly with the two commands.

The rest of the headquarters was relatively quiet, and the sentries next to them kept whispering to Nemero in Elven language about the troops. At the same time, the undead on the edge of the camp began to become irritable, perhaps because of the noise of the soldiers and the flickering fires, and skirmishes continued.

Half an hour later, the sentinel reported that the priest of Xiuze had requested an attack on the outer defenses of the Evil Altar.

Naturally, Neckrol nodded in agreement.

As soon as the order reached the front line, the elven war drums and the horns of the harbor sailors sounded almost simultaneously.

The ground trembled slightly as the soldiers advanced, and the erected heavy crossbow arrows, wrapped in rags stained with fire oil, pierced the dark night sky and landed on the outer defensive line of the Altar of Evil in the distance, igniting more fires;

The terrible screams resounded in the sky at the moment when the firelight ignited, so that the soldiers advancing on the front line also continued to roar to dispel the fear in their hearts, and the officers held their numb scalps and shouted: "Advance!

"Roar!" a roar that defied the limits of hearing rang out from within the defensive line of the Evil Altar, and as the roar rang out, a huge figure glowing red in the darkness slowly rose in the faint light of the fire, covering up all the flames that had just been ignited in the blink of an eye.

"This is the Death Beast of the Intelligence!" Command's face changed slightly as he held up the lookout glass, "There are necromancers stationed here?" he said, turning his head to look at Nemero, "Sir, our soldiers can't deal with this monster!"

"Keep going. The Nemero elves gave orders to the sentinels beside them.

"Sir!" Buniber's face changed.

"Don't use your dirty mind to figure out what General Nemiro thinks. A young elf next to him couldn't help but say, "In our eyes, all the soldiers who fight against the undead legion are warriors, and we will not let them die... We'll take care of the Death Beast, and all your soldiers need to do is keep pushing. ”

Buniber's face softened slightly when he heard this explanation, and he subconsciously continued to observe the situation on the front line with the lookout scope in his hand. In the faint light of the fire, the Death Beast was slowly advancing towards the front line of the Undead Zone, and the few heavy crossbows and two catapults were all aimed at it at this moment.

However, under the protection of the bone armor cast by the necromancer, the Death Beast was almost unscathed by the rounds of heavy crossbow attacks!

"Let the heavy crossbow and catapult change the target, and don't use the limited number of crossbow arrows where they are not necessary. Nemeiro frowned, expressing displeasure at the crossbow and catapult changing their target without permission.

As the herald walked away, Nemero ordered, "Let Xiuze prepare as soon as possible... The poor soul of this strange beast needs our help. ”

When Buniber heard Nemero's words, he subconsciously looked at the herald who was leaving, and his nervousness was slightly relieved.
