Chapter 263: Akmaiser's Conspiracy
The idol personally attends their military meetings, which is definitely an incentive for them.
Not to mention the character and character, for this kind of loyal, selfless temperament, always give more favor.
However, Dicron is really not very good at words, every time he participates in the military council, he is not forced to do his part, most of them are silent, but if you look closely at him, you will find that he does not sit there in a daze, but listens carefully to everyone's opinions and thinks very seriously.
"Judging from the past few years of fighting, General Akmeiser gives me the feeling of being very contradictory, in terms of big tactics, he always adopts a more conservative strategy, but in some local conflicts, the tactics used are usually very bold and risky, and if you are not careful, it is easy to suffer. ”
Dicron speaks very characteristically, speaking very slowly, giving the impression that every word he says is carefully thought out.
"This is a very important piece of information, maybe the Akmesser we usually see is not the real Akmerse, but is tied hand and foot, don't forget, there is also a Grand Duke Buck standing behind him, in the overall situation, he must ensure that he is undefeated, when the skirmish is unscrupulous, he can only play his true nature, if we completely analyze this person according to the tactics he has shown in the past, and wait until he really faces him, it is easy to suffer, and the character of Akmaiser is calculated, all overturned, and re-collected and analyzed, this time not only from the strategic and tactical point of view, his previous life experience, and the relationship with the Grand Duke of Buck。 ”
Sean's eyes froze slightly, and he attached great importance to the news that Dicron had brought.
There is a good chance that Akmesser will be their main rival in the battle for the Swamp of Despair, and knowing their opponents well will give them a better chance of winning when they meet.
"I will allocate manpower and set up a special task force to follow up on this matter. Ralph replied.
This matter is none other than the Eagle Eye Special Service.
Compared with Sean, the young army who has followed him from the beginning has changed a lot in recent years, I don't know if it's because of the work he is engaged in, the breath on his body is now a little feminine, his voice is very low, but his words are very clear, and he has grown a beard, making him look older, and he is meticulous from top to bottom.
It's not that he suddenly has a habit of cleanliness, but he has a family and a father of two children.
Speaking of which, his karma was caused by Sean's bad taste, and his wife was the confidential secretary who had been pulled by his pigtails at the beginning.
Sean asked him to supervise the new confidential secretary to recite the confidentiality regulations, but he didn't expect that after going back and forth, the two actually got along, which Sean laughed at for several years.
In fact, not only him, but also the original Young Army has started a family one after another.
On the contrary, Sean, because of his increasing position and power, marriage will be a matter related to the whole army, and it will not be able to be compromised, and it will gradually become a difficult problem, and he is an out-and-out older young man - this year, if there are no one or two sons in more than twenty, they are all older men and women.
Fortunately, Sean's mother, Ms. Elena, was very open to this part, and never talked about him, and did not let him experience the feeling of being urged to marry again.
"Akmaise's trick of catching small shrimp and small fish, and then using small fish to catch big fish, shrewdness is shrewdness, but I don't fully understand the internal situation of this crocodile tribe, this kind of multi-tribe coalition, I'm afraid I won't care about the life or death of the trapped soldiers, right?" Kelman asked a question in his heart.
"I think it's the opposite, Akmaiser knows the situation inside the crocodile people very well, so he uses this hand, and it is because of the coalition that they can't sit idly by, because it involves internal trust, because once they choose to sit idly by, the others will be unable to help but mumble, if they fall in this situation, will the others treat themselves the same? Ben Hebrew, the current chief of military staff of the Military Staff, spoke.
However, his starting point is a bit peculiar, not from strategy and tactics, but from human nature.
After listening to his analysis, everyone gasped, because he was on the point.
The complex situation within the crocodile people, they have fully understood, they can reach an agreement, and it is very reluctant to put it together, once there is a problem of trust, it will inevitably be torn apart, and there is no possibility of reuniting.
Compared with the harm caused by not saving, it is better to have a hard encounter with Akmaise, even if the loss is heavy, the situation is better.
But it was really unknown what kind of choice those elders would make, because they were not one person or two people, but a group of people, and there was no way to figure it out.
Everyone couldn't help but gather in front of the military sand table, deduce various situations, and calculate the worst.
Facilitate the Eternal Night Warlord's reaction according to the battle situation.
Just because the Eternal Night Leader didn't send troops to the Swamp of Despair doesn't mean they don't care about the situation here.
In fact, their strings are now tighter than any other moment, not only are all the eagle eyes that can be sprinkled out, but Sean is even more stuck in time to use the Thunder Eagle to conduct aerial reconnaissance, as far as possible not to waste a little time.
The state of the Swamp of Despair has not escaped the calculations of the Eternal Night Warlords.
There is a tactic called retreating as advancing.
The attitude of the Council of Elders of the Crocodile Clan disappointed the Eternal Night Commanders, and judging from their state, even if they held a meeting for a few more decades, it would not be fruitful.
Sean was reluctant to follow the old path of armed invasion.
In his view, armed invasion is forced and helpless, the lowest and worst means.
Even if it is forcibly conquered, unless the aborigines are slaughtered, the hatred between the two races will continue for hundreds of years.
If it is a simple confrontation between the two clans, then there is nothing to say, the Eternal Night Leader will not grind his teeth with the Crocodile for such a long time, and it is the right way to send a messenger to remind them, and to invite their elders to visit the Eternal Night Commander, to discuss the conditions and show force, and directly drive the fleet into the Desperate Swamp, start the conquest by force, and beat all the resistance forces to death.
But the presence of the Kingsley family opened their eyes to other possibilities.
First get in touch with the crocodile people, get acquainted with each other, and promote the full-scale invasion of the Kingsley family, and when the crocodile people are scared of being beaten and beaten, they take the initiative to ask for the Eternal Night Army to come here, that is another situation.
It was with this consideration in mind that Kelman's trip took place, and the evacuation plan for the remnants of the slave rebel army was carried out ahead of schedule.
According to the original plan, after Shaun came into contact with Dicklon, he turned it into a nail buried in the Kingsley family, responsible for dragging the main force of the Kingsley family, so that the Eternal Night Army could lead into the Swamp of Despair.
When the time comes, Archduke Buck will be in a hurry, abandon Dicron as an internal hidden danger, and draw the main force to fight the Eternal Night Army Leader for the Swamp of Despair.
At that time, Dicron will become a time bomb in the hands of the Eternal Night Commander, and once activated, it will inevitably give it a fatal stab, and Dilcron can calmly withdraw to the Eternal Night Commander with his brother afterwards.
It's just that the number of natives living in the isolated area of the Despair Swamp far exceeds the expectations of the Eternal Night Warlord.
At this time, the strategic plan had to be adjusted.
To put it bluntly, the Eternal Night Army Leader not only wants land, but also people.
This is much more difficult than simply acquiring land, and it is by no means something that can be achieved by a simple armed invasion.
The existence of the Kingsley family has allowed the Eternal Night Army Leader to find a more feasible path, although it is a tightrope walk, but there is still a glimmer of opportunity.
However, judging from the previous situation, the Kingsley family will not start the conquest of the Swamp of Despair for a while, and it is more important to eliminate the rebels in the territory of Dicklon.
And without the medium point of the large-scale invasion of the Swamp of Despair by the Eternal Night Leader, the Kingsley family would not easily let go of the remnants of the slave rebel army, even with the support of the Eternal Night Leader, Dicklon's situation would become more and more difficult, after all, it was quite difficult to secretly transport resources, and the number was not as large as imagined.
Now it has become a medium point for the Kingsley family to invade the Swamp of Despair, so that the Eternal Night Army can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and find the opportunity for the fisherman to profit.
So far, everything is going according to the plan of the Eternal Night Lord.
At least until Akmaiser has an insight into his strategic plan.
Akmaiser's conspiracy added a lot of variables to the plan of the Eternal Night Commander.
Because what the Eternal Night Leader wanted was to use the hands of the Kingsley family to inflict heavy damage on the crocodiles, rather than directly destroying them with a combination punch, the Eternal Night Commander had no chance to get up and down at all.
When the time comes, for the sake of despair in the swamp, the Eternal Night Army Leader and the Kingsley family will go to war head-on, and it will be difficult to take care of them again, and their plan will be more than half in vain.
Fortunately, among the elders of the crocodile people, there are also intelligent people like Ben Hebrew who can see through human nature, and they perceive the most dangerous trap in Akmaiser's plan, and persuade the others to rescue those besieged people, even if they lose their troops.
What's more, their forces are no less than those of the Kingsley family, and with the internal and external attacks of the besieged clansmen, they are not without a chance at all.
In one sentence, it is very appropriate to describe the self-confidence of the crocodile people, the ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny.
There is a difference between the army and the army.
Regardless of the intensity of training, when it comes to equipment alone, the difference between the two is 108,000 miles.
The Kingsley family's army is known as the most armored in the whole continent, and the most humble ones also have armor, not to mention those elites.
Dicron also tried to gnaw on the elite army of steel cans not long ago, but he broke out a bunch of his own teeth, but did not hurt the bones of the other party, and the number of those steel cans was only afraid that it was not much less, because those plates of armor were removed from the dead people, repaired and repaired, and worn on other soldiers, and the combat effectiveness was not much reduced.
Looking at the crocodile people again, not to mention iron armor, even iron weapons are difficult to do with each person, not to mention that the Desperate Swamp is not rich in mineral deposits, even if it is rich, they have no way to mine it in large quantities.
They do not produce hardwood, the environment is humid, they basically do not use bows and arrows, and their main means of long-range attack are blow crossbows and spears.
The former is not applicable on the battlefield, but the latter has a certain power, provided that it is equipped with an iron head, and the crocodile people obviously can't do this, and the result can be imagined, a round of spear throwing down, people only fell dozens of people, but they have fallen on the charging road in pieces.
When they met in close quarters, the situation was even more embarrassing, their weapons were not as strong as the opponent's armor, and they cut them on others, and they didn't even leave white marks, and they directly killed themselves when they fought back.
Then there is the gap in command.
Needless to say, the Kingsley family's army has been the supreme commander since it began to defend against the slave rebels who were still in the Manyu army to the south, and it has been seven or eight years before and after, and with his means, he has long been completely in his own hands, commanding it like an arm.
The crocodile people are a coalition army, nominally under the control of the Council of Five Elders, in fact, most of the power is still in the hands of the elders, from the issuance of orders, to the beginning of implementation, before and after I don't know how many twists and turns, in the ever-changing battlefield, the daylily is cold, in this case, it is better to have a command than not to command, with their own courage to rush forward.
The crocodiles eventually discovered this, so they no longer used too complicated tactics, just a simple hard fight.
The only thing commendable about the crocodile people is their blood bravery, although most of them have no formal training, but their will to fight is no worse than those soldiers who have been through blood and fire for a long time, even in the case of absolute disadvantage, they will not retreat, dragging the enemy to die together.
In the process, they find their greatest weapon – the unique environment of the Swamp of Despair itself.
Those steel cans, in the mire, sink more easily than they do, and once they sink in, three or two people will not try to pull them out.
In the end, the crocodiles resort to suicidal tactics, forcing them into the Jedi with overwhelming superiority, or luring the enemy in and taking them with them to their deaths.
This kind of fierce style of not fearing death, Akmaiser is very passive, because even if he wins, he does not dare to take advantage of the victory to pursue, who knows if this is the other party's suicide tactics.
The allied army of the crocodile clan used their flesh and blood to tear a gap in the Kingsley family's iron bucket array, and rescued the trapped people who were less than 15,000 left.
And in order to save them, the crocodile people filled in 25,000 lives.
Whether it is worth it or not, it is difficult to say clearly in one sentence or two.
However, one thing is certain, after this battle, the relationship between the allied forces of the crocodile tribe has become closer, and the morale has not been devastated.
Of course, this can't change the fact that they have lost their troops and damaged their vitality, and if they collide head-on with the Kingsley family, what awaits them will only be complete annihilation.
Therefore, the crocodile people also performed a trick to advance and retreat, and most of the ethnic tribes on the west bank of the Danube River migrated to the east bank, preparing to rely on the complex terrain along the Danube River to give full play to their strengths.
It has to be said that this is a very clever tactic.
This time it was Akmaise's turn.
The Danube is not in the center of the swamp of despair, it is like a long snake that winds towards the east, the east bank occupies less than a quarter of the area, and the real head is on the west bank.
Not to mention that Grand Duke Buck would not be satisfied with this little achievement, even Akmesser could not look down on the land that was less than a hundred kilometers wide and three hundred kilometers long.
What's more, the crocodile people did not really give up there, but only turned it into a place of war in strategic depth, in which crocodile soldiers lurked, making trouble everywhere and attacking everywhere.
This time, they learned shrewdly, and did not fight them hard at all, relying only on the geographical environment that was favorable to them to attack the enemy.
All of a sudden, the war raged in the swamp of despair, and hundreds of soldiers from both sides fell on this land forever every day.
